"Regiment commander, please take a look. This is a strengthened platoon from our second battalion. Do you need the platoon leader to introduce it to you?”
At a training ground belonging to the 2nd Battalion of the 369th Regiment, Gu Xun was standing by the side of the road, surrounded by a group of battalion officers and guards, observing the training of the troops.
The second battalion commander, Sun Biao, explained to Gu Xun the subjects and implementation of the military training, showing an enthusiasm that he had never shown before.
For a regiment commander like Gu Xun, who usually liked to stay in the regiment headquarters, it was quite a torturous job to go down to his subordinate troops to inspect every time. The various levels of the organs below had to allocate people to receive and protect Gu Xun.
Many officers didn't want their regimental commanders to go around tormenting them. It was a waste of manpower and time that could have been used for training.
However, Gu Xun was never tired of it. He even knew what the people below him were thinking and still did what he wanted.
Regiment 369 was in a critical period of qualitative change. Gu Xun could not just stay in the courtyard of the regiment headquarters and coordinate the work!
Looking at the platoon of soldiers who were training hard, Gu Xun smiled and shook his head."
"No need, I can read it myself. Don't disturb the soldiers 'normal training.”
"Yes, sir!"
Second Battalion Commander Sun Biao nodded his head and accompanied Gu Xun with Su Liancheng.
"Regiment Commander, please take a look. This platoon is currently advancing with the cooperation of the drill team. The consumption of ammunition and weapons is very large, but thanks to the Regiment Commander's hands and eyes, it is not a problem to support the daily consumption.”
Sun Biao flattered him, but Gu Xun smiled and took it lightly.
The source of the 369th Regiment's weapons, equipment, and supplies was destined to be a mystery. Every night, Gu Xun would order the troops who stayed behind to go to a remote place nearby to collect the weapons and supplies that the entire Regiment needed for the next few days.
As for Gu Xun's channel, which was the system, he would not say it himself, and no one else would have the guts to ask.
Gu Xun himself was too lazy to spend too much energy on this matter. He just needed to cover it up a little. No one could change the fact that the 369th Regiment was expanding rapidly.
So what if half of Southwest Shanxi knew about the 369th Regiment, which had ridiculously good equipment and an incredible supply ability?
Would they come and snatch it? They could defeat the well-equipped 369th Regiment?
The soldiers of the other units looked pale and lacked strength. The soldiers of Regiment 369 were at least sub-healthy. Under high-intensity training, they had basically formed muscles. Even in melee combat, it was not a problem for the soldiers of Regiment 369 to fight three to five people at once.
The food supply that Gu Xun could provide was only slightly better than that of the Japanese army. However, the gap of more than 20 years was not something that could be made up for in a year and a half.
However, since Gu Xun's opponent was the lowest level of the army, the difference in physical strength was not obvious. The difference in cultural quality caused the slow expansion of technical troops, which was the real headache for Gu Xun.
Fortunately, the technical troops that Gu Xun currently needed were basically limited to the mortars. With a little training, he did not fall into the predicament of a lack of talent.
"How is the equipment distributed to your platoon?”
Gu Xun pointed at a four-man squad that was simulating the rapid installation of mortars to suppress fire and asked Sun Biao who was beside him.
"Return to the group seat!"
Sun Biao subconsciously agreed, but after carefully observing the equipment of this platoon of soldiers, he added with certainty,
"According to the regimental commander's instructions, this platoon is our reinforced infantry platoon. It will be allocated strictly according to the equipment list set by the regimental headquarters!”
Strengthening the infantry platoons was just Sun Biao's high-sounding statement. In reality, Gu Xun hadn't even formed a professional artillery unit.
As for the reason…
Gu Xun had always been short of points. For the past seven months, Gu Xun had been obsessed with expanding the army. He had almost used up all the points he had to sign in and provide daily supplies to the infantry unit according to his ideal.
Artillery was too expensive, and Gu Xun believed that the infantry units he could deploy would be enough to defeat most of the island troops in North China.
"Regiment commander, the majority of the soldiers in this platoon are equipped with a metri-made M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and the corresponding bayonet, as well as two island-made lemon grenades. At the same time, each squad is equipped with an island-made grenade launcher, a German-made MG34 general machine gun, and the entire platoon is equipped with a German-made GrW34 mortar!”
Gu Xun nodded slightly. He had carefully selected these weapons to be the standard infantry weapons for the 369th Regiment.
Gu Xun did not care about the country of origin of these weapons. He only cared about whether they were suitable for the current Chinese army.
The skill level could not be the highest, but it had to be very versatile and be able to adapt to the needs of the Chinese battlefield.
The M1 Garand followed the American soldiers everywhere. Not only did it have excellent performance, but it was also adaptable and easy to maintain.
Gu Xun didn't really care about the grenade. After all, it was not that bad. The grenades from the big countries were much stronger than those from the border regions. In the end, the island-made lemon grenade was successfully selected because it required the least points to exchange.
In Gu Xun's opinion, the island-made grenade launcher was almost the perfect grenade launcher in World War II. Although the caliber was small, it was light and could be carried and used by only one person. It was a true individual weapon that could shoot almost anything that could be thrown. It was a divine weapon for the infantry squad to suppress and shoot!
A large portion of the Chinese soldiers did not die from the bullets of the island army, but from grenades, mortars, and even poisonous gas.
Needless to say, the MG-34, like its more inferior American counterpart, the Browning machine gun, was still in service even after nearly a hundred years. The MG-34, known as the " Sitler chainsaw," was the nightmare of countless soldiers in World War II. As a general-purpose machine gun, it was portable and could provide firepower suppression when necessary.
The Grw34 mortar was not famous because of the dazzling German armored forces, but its performance was excellent. At the same time, its caliber was twice as large as the island-made grenade launcher, which opened up a significant gap in power and range.
Like the German army, Gu Xun was currently using it as a company level firepower, but with the accumulation of points, sooner or later, he would have to fight to distribute it to the platoon level.
Gu Xun had pulled out this random list of infantry configuration in order to create an invincible infantry unit with the same strength in the Chinese battlefield.
As for the armored forces?
The island army had such a thing?
Their few armored vehicles and so-called tanks were just to bully the Chinese army that lacked guns and cannons. In the fierce European battlefield, even the heavy machine guns of the foreign countries could tear through their pitiful armor.
Unfortunately, Gu Xun had allocated all the equipment of the foreign powers to his troops. If the island army dared to use their " armored troops " to send their heads to the ground, the grenade launchers and mortars that were equipped to the shift and company would teach them what the " firepower superiority theory " was.
