"Hehe, Regiment Commander, everyone has been training very hard during this period of time. You're right.”
Zhang Dabiao laughed.
"Ha, I'm starting to feel like moving around. Tell everyone to stop. I have a set of saber techniques passed down from my ancestors. I'll let everyone practice it so that our brothers can practice it too!”
Su Wen did not hide anything. Only by increasing their overall combat strength would they be invincible on the battlefield.
"Good! Everyone, stop for a moment and hand over my saber to the regiment commander!”
Zhang Dabiao hurriedly started to make arrangements. The other soldiers also stood in a circle around Su Wen, ready to learn.
Su Wen took the saber and executed it smoothly, causing everyone to cheer in unison. Even Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up. This saber technique was quite powerful and every move was fatal. While defending, it could also give the enemy a head-on blow.
Then, he slowly demonstrated it a few more times and trained with them for a while. Only then did Su Wen call Zhang Dabiao to the side and ask about the situation in the army.
After Zhang Dabiao's report, Su Wen had a better grasp of the independent regiment's strength.
Just taking the 1st Battalion as an example, it had already reached Su Wen's initial goal.
When an artillery company was full, it was usually made up of four people in a team. Two people were responsible for transporting artillery and ammunition during wartime, and the other two were responsible for filling and firing shells. The division of labor was clear.
Moreover, everyone was required to master the technique of using mortars to prevent casualties during the battle.
For now, a team of four was the most suitable. In the future, when there were more people and they had heavy artillery, they would be expanded.
Infantry companies, artillery companies, machine gun companies, and below them were combat teams. These were the main combat forces.
Other than that, there were also the broadsword team, engineering team, logistics team, communications team, medical team, and so on. It could be said that although it was small, it had all the necessary organs.
The training was also carried out according to Su Wen's requirements. Furthermore, the overall size of the regiment had been expanded once again. Under the circumstances where the other battalions were full, four more battalions were added.
Originally, Zhang Dabiao and the others were firmly opposed to calling it the 4th Battalion, saying that it was inauspicious. However, Jiang An did not believe in this kind of heresy. He resisted the public's objections and decided on it.
With him and the Independent Regiment around, the Japanese would definitely die and the Chinese would definitely win!
"Regiment commander, I have already prepared the special forces company that you mentioned earlier. I will train them during normal times and you will command them during wartime. The equipment and personnel are the best in the entire regiment! As for the number of people, there were about 300 of them. The company commander was called Li Fang.”
Zhang Dabiao rubbed his hands and continued to report," Your guard company is almost ready, but the company commander hasn't been confirmed yet.”
"Well done, Zhang Dabiao!”
He had an impression of Li Fang. He seemed to be the one who was responsible for infiltrating the Japanese stronghold when they attacked the Li family's stronghold. He was brave and brave, so he was in charge. This showed that Zhang Dabiao had good taste.
"I have other arrangements for the captain of the guard company. Don't worry about it. Let's go to the back of the mountain.”
As Su Wen spoke, he was also puzzled. According to his memories from his previous life, the Independent Regiment's political commissar, Zhao Gang, was about to arrive!
He was looking forward to working with Zhao Gang. If he remembered correctly, he was the one who brought Wei Da Yong here.
Forget it, it didn't matter if he came or not. There was no hurry. The most important thing now was to build the mortar.
The dozens of blacksmiths sent by the brigade commander and the blacksmiths from the nearby villages added up to about a hundred people. There were also warriors helping out, so they had enough manpower.
He really loved this group of commoners to death. When he heard that they were going to build mortars to fight the devils, he did not say anything and brought his family to Su Wen's place. He did not want money, he just wanted food!
"Old Wang, how was the experiment today?”
Su Wen and the others found the person in charge, Wang Shan. He was about 40 years old and had strong muscles. His upper body was bare and his face was covered in sweat.
"Commander Su, you're here? I was just about to send someone to look for you!"
Old Wang wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked over to take a sip of water before continuing,""In the past half a month, we have almost figured out the way according to the blueprint you gave us. We are about to extract the steel from the iron block to cast the cannon barrel.”
Su Wen nodded. The mortar blueprint in his hand was very simple, but it was also very complicated.
It was simple. It only needed a few parts, a firing pin, and a barrel to form a mortar.
The complexity lay in the smelting and process technology. If one wanted the quality of the mortar to pass, they had to use seamless steel pipes.
Therefore, in the past half a month, they had been studying and experimenting. Although the finished product was simple, the progress was satisfactory.
For the next few days, Su Wen would run to the back of the mountain when he had nothing to do. Finally, on the seventh day, he saw the first mortar that had been refined.
"It's really only after a long time!”
Su Wen touched the cannon. Wasn't this mortar better than the one he seized from the Japanese?
"Call Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu over. We'll test the cannon now!”
Su Wen got a few guards to carry the mortars and hurriedly walked out.
Soon, everyone arrived at a mountain near the Wang Family Village, and they were all excited.
When Wang Chengzhu heard that they were going to test the cannon, he immediately pulled the class he was most proud of over. Su Wen was very satisfied.
The gunner, assistant gunner, and two spammers were equipped with four guns.
"Get ready!"
"One, two, three!" Fire!
Under Wang Chengzhu's command, the cannonball was fired.
"Bang!"
The ammunition accurately hit a slope on the top of the mountain, blasting sand and stones all over the sky. It was very shocking.
"It looks like it's much more powerful than the mortars in the hands of the Japanese. Moreover, our mortars are light in weight and easy to operate.”
Su Wen was very satisfied with the results of this experiment and immediately instructed Zhang Dabiao.
"Let the factory go all out to produce mortars and ammunition. Before the new year, I want a few artillery companies in our regiment to be equipped with this kind of mortar.”
"Yes, Guild Leader!"
