"Second Battalion Commander, pull out your Faranci and German Will Cannon and let everyone see!”
Since the gunners of the second battalion performed the best, Gu Xun selected the most elite gunners to form the " Artillery Training Division " as a demonstration unit to train and demonstrate the other reserve gunners as the seeds of the entire regiment's artillery.
"Yes, please follow me!"
Second Battalion Commander Sun Biao led the regiment headquarters and walked for nearly an hour. They arrived at the foot of a mountain where the entire regiment's artillery was learning.
"Everyone, please take a look. The entire regiment is carrying out routine training with 18 M1897 cannons and 20 Grw34 mortars!”
Every once in a while, an artillery platoon would bombard the targets marked on the mountain with paint. In order to protect their hearing, all the artillery platoon members wearing earmuffs.
Chief of Staff Liu Rui touched his ears that were ringing and asked in confusion,"
"Regiment Commander, there are a total of 38 main cannons. It is enough to deal with an exploration team, but it is far from enough for the A Regiment?”
Gu Xun nodded silently. The other officers also seemed to agree with him.
A division of the island army had a total of 28200 soldiers. It had two exploration teams, and each exploration team had two infantry regiments.
In addition, there would be a single engineer, cavalry, artillery, and baggage regiment, a total of eight regiments.
When fully loaded, an A division would have 7-8000 warhorses, 15000 infantry lances, 144 grenade launchers, 288 light machine guns, 54 heavy machine guns, 16 mountain cannons, 36 field cannons, and other weapons. At the same time, the artillery regiment would have about 48 cannons.
It could be said that in terms of grenade launchers and machine guns, although the 369th Regiment only had about one-third of the A-type Regiment, they had more than three times the number of grenade launchers, and the firepower density of the basic infantry was nearly nine times that of the island army!
However, when it came to artillery, the 38 main cannons of the regiment were not enough in front of the 48-96 cannons of the A division.
Gu Xun understood the concerns of the officers, so he asked Sun Biao,
"Second Battalion Commander, I previously allowed you to mobilize more than a hundred reserve mortar platoons from the entire regiment. How is it going?”
Sun Biao didn't dare to be negligent. He stood at attention and said,
"Reporting to the regiment commander, a total of 108 mortar reserve platoons have been mobilized! Please instruct us!"
The so-called reserve squad was an empty structure with people but no cannons. They trained together with the artillery unit that had already been formed. They used the method of stopping people but not stopping cannons to ensure that all the squads could touch the mortars in advance and start training.
As for the logistics team responsible for the maintenance of the mortars, they were completely ignored by Gu Xun.
There are so many things to do to repair a mortar. What does the regiment headquarters support you for?
Gu Xun said in satisfaction,"
"You've exceeded your quota, very good! Where were the reserve squads now?”
"Returning to the regiment commander, except for a small number of platoons who are on rotation leave, the remaining platoons will be stationed here for high-intensity training!”
Looking at the team members who were carefully measuring the distance not far away, Gu Xun said,
"Then the soldiers who stayed here today caught up.”
Sun Biao was dumbfounded.
"Guild Leader, what do you mean by this?”
Gu Xun waved his hand."
"Gather all the reserve artillery platoons. You'll know soon enough!”
Ten minutes later, Sun Biao led the team that had gathered and hurriedly reported to Gu Xun,
"Regimental commander, all 95 reserve artillery platoons have assembled!”
Gu Xun nodded and walked around in front of these soldiers who were still nervous.
Ever since the war in the northwest of Jin became more and more intense, the frequency of Gu Xun's patrol at the grassroots level had decreased significantly. Many of these soldiers who had just been transferred were seeing Gu Xun for the first time.
And their legendary regimental commander, who had been vigorously reorganizing the army since the beginning of the year and had transformed the 369th Regiment from a second-rate troop that did not even have enough guns to become the elite troop of today, actually looked so young?
Gu Xun stood in front of a young warrior who still had a childish look on his face and asked with a smile,"
"How long have you been here? How many shells can you fire every day?”
The little warrior stammered with a little panic,"
"Reporting, reporting to Guild Leader, I've been transferred here for more than a month! After every shot, we have to check the landing point with our brothers and analyze the problem. Now, we have a total of six platoons sharing the same cannon for training. Every day, our platoons can fire about ten rounds!”
Looking at the little soldier who was eager to spill everything he knew, Sun Biao, who was following behind Gu Xun, wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.
Why are the soldiers under my command so accurate, but they talk like young ladies?
Gu Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't even asked, but this little warrior had already told him everything.
"Six platoons sharing one cannon? These days have really been tough for you guys.”
Gu Xun said slowly in a tone that sounded like a cold joke.
