Because of limited conditions, Xia Yang could only conduct the simplest military training for them. He did not intend to send these recruits to the frontal battlefield to fight the Japanese army. Instead, they would serve as a reserve force to supplement Xia Yang's army.
It has to be said that although the four Lin Shaowei are narrow-minded, they are still very serious about fighting the Japanese army.
Like Xia Yang, he also sent out many scouts to conduct large-scale reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain and the direction in which the Japanese army might attack, from which he obtained a large amount of intelligence.
Lin Shaowei¡¯s 178th Division is called one division.
In fact, he only has three regiments, one combat brigade, and one artillery battalion in his hands. The total number of troops he can actually command is only more than 7,000.
¡°This was already considered a large scale among the National Revolutionary Army at that time. Because of the problem of empty pay, many members of the national army were dissatisfied with the establishment, and only began to add troops to it before the war.
The combat effectiveness of this kind of combat division formed by temporarily supplementing troops will naturally not be too high, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as low combat capability.
However, in the process of contacting other commanders under Lin Shaowei, Xia Yang discovered that the phenomenon of empty pay in the 178th Division was not serious.
It¡¯s just that the training level of the soldiers of the 178th Division is really worrying. In addition, their individual equipment also has big problems.
Most of these people are equipped with some older weapons, such as Hanyang-made and old sleeves, which can also be seen in the 178th Division.
And they lack company-level support firepower, such as Maxim heavy machine guns and various light machine guns. As for mortars, they are heavy firepower that can only be equipped at the regiment level or even the brigade level.
Although the artillery battalion under Lin Shaowei has ten artillery pieces, the ammunition equipped for these ten artillery mounts is pitifully little.
A large part of these shells were purchased from the black market by Lin Shaowei himself. Some of them were obtained from his superiors by begging his grandfather and grandma.
After all calculations, their artillery battalion only has three to four hundred rounds of artillery shells! Basically, it will be exhausted after one round of artillery fire.
Although Lin Shaowei pretended in front of Xia Yang that his troops were well-equipped and had extremely high combat quality. But these things of his can deceive a layman, but they cannot deceive an expert like Xia Yang.
Xia Yang just walked around the camp a few times and basically understood the actual equipment status of the 178th Division and the quality of their soldiers.
As for the qualities of the commander, these still need to be tested on the battlefield.
But as the saying goes, a raging soldier is like a raging general.
Generally speaking, as long as you look at the soldiers, you can also see what their generals are like.
The soldiers brought out by a good commander must have very strict discipline and very high military literacy, rather than being a mob.
On February 28, 1938, Xia Yang got up early.
Although Lin Shaowei and Xia Yang didn't get along very well, he had to ask Xia Yang to attend the regular military meeting.
Xia Yang was driving on the street in a jeep when he saw many people in Pei County greeting him warmly.
Because Xia Yang recruits troops here, many people among the people have relatives serving as soldiers in Xia Yang's barracks.
In order to gain the support of the local people in Peixian County and to better recruit troops here, Xia Yang ordered his soldiers to help the people of Peixian County and do many practical and good deeds.
These things are very complicated to say, but also very simple. They are nothing more than helping the widow carry water, giving rice, flour, oil and salt to the lonely elderly people, taking the left-behind children to visit the barracks, and providing them with a few meals.
These things will have a name in later generations, and they will be public welfare activities.
But at this time, Xia Yang asked his soldiers to do it. Invisibly, the positive image of the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade was erected in the hearts of the people in Peixian County.
In just three or four days, the news had spread to many people in Peixian County. I learned that this army from Shanxi often helps the people and does many good things. They are the people's army and a force worthy of their admiration and love.
The people living here have experienced too many military garrisons.
There were many troops passing by and stationed here. If we didn¡¯t rob them of their food and money, it would be considered a high-quality incense. But the troops led by Xia Yang are still here to help them. These hundreds ofThe surname is naturally Grateful.
Driving from the camp to the division headquarters, Xia Yang's jeep was filled with vegetables and eggs thrown by the people.
Xia Yang's guard, Xiao Yuebing, said to Xia Yang, who was sitting in the co-pilot: "Sergeant, I think when we get back to the battle, we can open a vegetable market."
Xia Yang looked at the eggs on the car and smiled helplessly and said: "This can be regarded as the wishes of these people. Don't throw away these eggs and vegetables. Take them back to the recruit camp to replenish the eggs for the recruits." Nutrition.
?????????????????????????????: When a gust of wind blows, they can be pushed out three meters. With such a body, how can they compete with the little Japanese on the bayonet! "
Xiao Yuebing patted his belly and said: "Brigade, don't tell me, since I joined our fourth brigade, my weight has been increasing day by day! I still had eight-pack abs at the beginning. , look at it now, it has become one piece again.¡±
When Xia Yang heard this, he frowned and said, "It will be difficult to train after you follow me. After a while, I will let you follow Cai Heyuan so that you can practice well.
When Cai Heyuan was working as a guard next to me, he was so frightened that he saw the little Japs shooting. Ever since he was thrown into the guard company, this kid had howled when he saw the little devil, like a wild wolf that saw a sheep. "
As the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the division headquarters.
Before entering the division headquarters, Xia Yang saw Wang Chuancheng, the leader of the 178th Division and the 132nd Regiment.
Xia Yang went to his station yesterday. The 132nd Regiment can be regarded as the main regiment of the 178th Division. The equipment is in relatively good condition and the quality of the soldiers is relatively high.
However, at that time when supplies were scarce, their equipment level was very limited in Xia Yang's opinion.
Although they knew that Xia Yang and Lin Shaowei had some quarrels, not all of Lin Shaowei's commanders had any personal grudges against Xia Yang. On the contrary, he was quite envious of all the good equipment in Xia Yang's hands.
After all, when it comes to the battlefield, they will all be brothers fighting side by side. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
