Chapter 60 After Half a Year
In August 1936, the 318th Regiment in the western suburbs of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province was stationed.
After nearly a year of training, the direct team has formed huge combat power. After a series of systematic trainings such as reconnaissance, blasting, fighting, assassination, lurking, rescue, and sniping, they formed ten combat teams. Each team consists of machine gunners, snipers, observationalists, blasters, and communications players, and is used to complete various difficult tasks.
During this period, as the war approached, Wang Mingyu's training was constantly strengthening. In addition to the direct team and the guard company, the training of other battalions and companies was also constantly improving. The advantage of systematic training is that no matter who is in any position, he can know what he wants to do. How to be the new recruits of each battalion have not experienced real battles, and tactics have been formed. However, the weakness of the 318th Regiment is still there, that is, heavy firepower is not enough, and this is currently impossible to make up for. Mortars are currently in the warehouses in northern Jiangsu, but combat defense artillery, field heavy artillery, etc. are not equipped at present. It is not that Wang Mingyu can't spend that money, but he really can't buy these things.
If possible, Wang Mingyu even wanted to buy a plane and train his own pilots. However, he really had no experience in this regard, so he could only ask Wang Jie to find retired pilots in the United States and buy them at a high price to train his personnel. Wang Mingyu was not vague and sent him to the United States with a telegram and asked Wang Jie to deal with it as appropriate. Of course, Wang Jie did his best and found 8 retired pilots in a row and sent them to the 318th Regiment at a high price.
The flight team established by Wang Mingyu is currently very miserable. There is nothing except 8 American instructors and 32 recruited pilot training personnel. Wang Mingyu said that we will go to the Japanese in the future. The American compatriots who came with confidence were depressed. There is no plane, just like talking about it on paper, and there is no practical significance. It can only be said that the plane was driven like this. As for the unexpected situation, we can only talk about the sudden situation. How can no one who has actually driven the plane be able to grasp it?
However, Wang Mingyu emphasized to several foreign instructors that it is good to have no planes now, but if everyone lays a solid foundation now, once they have planes, they can get started in a short time and form combat effectiveness. He spent money to invite them to do things for future battles, so he hoped that they could understand their hard work. However, this flight team is also good enough. Currently, the people from the 318th Regiment know that there are a few foreigners here, and they don’t know what they do. They are followed by a group of people, and everyone feels inexplicable.
The 318th Regiment's artillery currently has only one company, and currently only has a dozen mortars. The shells are not sufficient. Once the battle starts, the artillery company can only support one or two battalions. It is impossible to support 4 battalions at the same time. If it is divided into each battalion, it will only be 4 battalions on average. The lethality of the mortars is not high, and if they cannot form a scale, it will be useless.
Wang Mingyu is also worried about this matter. Although the Ministry of National Defense has heavy artillery, it can basically be allocated to the first-level division units, and basically all are all rated to the Central Army. Although other troops also have some configurations, they are very few, and can even be described as negligible. Japan's biggest advantage is air superiority, heavy firepower, and mechanization. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of Wang Mingyu's troops can be said to be quite strong at present, but without real baptism of combat, it can only be regarded as a second-rate unit.
Wang Mingyu is thinking of a solution to the problem of artillery. This thing is related to the future of the entire regiment. At present, Wang Mingyu sent Huang Boxiong's two direct squads to take the radio station to the secret warehouse in northern Jiangsu. The general location has been told to him. At that time, they will contact Zhao Guodong by themselves, and ask Huang Boxiong to stay in the secret warehouse in northern Jiangsu for a long time, and join forces with Zhao Guodong to continuously strengthen his own strength and eliminate the bandits around him. In addition, Wang Mingyu secretly appointed Huang Boxiong as the battalion commander of the 5th Battalion of the 318th Regiment to expand his team. He is currently lurking in the Lianyungang area, and is specially trained by Huang Boxiong, waiting for Wang Mingyu to contact him.
Regarding the mortar, Zhao Guodong sent someone to secretly transport it to Ningbo. The route has been formulated, which is the route for the last round. In addition, the shells must be fully allocated, and in addition, some of the ak rifles, bullets and medicines are transported to equip the troops.
If history does not deviate, less than a year will be left before the Japanese invasion of China. Since Wang Mingyu's troops were used to suppress the Communist Party, when Wang Mingyu arrived, it was already the end of the Communist Party's suppression. The Central Red Army had already successfully joined forces in northern Shaanxi and began an expedition to the east, and began to actively call on the coalition generals to fight against Japan and implement the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Under such a general background, it is impossible to suppress the Communist Party again, so Wang Mingyu was relieved. He was afraid that one day he would suddenly receive the order to suppress the Communist Party, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but go directly to northern Shaanxi.
However, Wang Mingyu also knew that the Xi'an Incident was imminent. General Zhang Xueliang and Vice Chairman Zhou were in secret negotiations. Wang Mingyu could not be stupid and expose the meritorious service. He also hoped that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would cooperate and unite to the outside world. Although he had completely lost confidence in the Kuomintang's military, there were still many patriotic patriots at the grassroots level of the Kuomintang army, and the top leaders did not represent the grassroots level. So Wang Mingyu believed that he could control his own troops, and Wang Mingyu wanted this effect. In the future, his troops could only have their own voice. He said that he would hit whoever he wanted. It was definitely not a transfer order from the Ministry of National Defense that could do whatever he wanted.
Since returning from his studies three months ago, Gao Shan, who is from the intelligence department, has started teaching all members of the direct team to learn radio stations, etc. In addition, several personnel from the same team as Gao Shan are also teaching personnel from the intelligence department to learn radio stations.
A Wu, deputy section chief of the Intelligence Department, has also continuously strengthened the strength of the Intelligence Department. Wang Mingyu told them a lot of stories about spy wars, of course, they were all based on some TV series I had watched before, but they benefited a lot from these newcomers. Some people can learn from one example and think about how they should deal with it in this situation. A Wu is a person who can integrate it. He listened to the stories of lurking and other stories told by Wang Mingyu, and constantly combined them based on the people and reality in the story. There are many things in common, and there are many things to learn, and the ability of reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance must be constantly tempered. Although the progress of the Intelligence Department has been slow, it has already been of some use.
To fight, someone will be injured and someone will be sacrificed. According to the current situation, the preparation for the construction of a field hospital has been listed in Wang Mingyu's plan. In fact, the construction of a field hospital mainly includes three types: both equipment, both people, and drugs. Currently, there are still equipment, personnel can be hired, and medicine can be obtained by themselves. Therefore, although the raising of a field hospital is very complicated, it is not difficult. During the war, penicillin was already quite luxurious. A penicillin was equivalent to a life. Therefore, the successful establishment of a field hospital also marked that the 318th Regiment had entered the final end, just waiting for the moment when the battle began.
The basic situation of Wang Mingyu's current troops is like this. There are 15o people in the direct team, of which 12o people are in the 318th Regiment, of which 3o people are sent to the secret warehouse in northern Jiangsu to form the secret Fifth Battalion. Guard Company, the Fourth Battalion of the Third Battalion of the First Battalion of the 318th Regiment; the Artillery Company directly under the 318th Regiment; the 318th Regiment’s baggage company; the Intelligence Section directly under the 318th Regiment; the Field Hospital of the 318th Regiment is under construction; the Communication Platoon of the 318th Regiment.
On this day, Wang Mingyu suddenly received an invitation from the Nie Mansion, saying that he would invite Wang Xiannie to discuss the marriage. Wang Mingyu suddenly remembered what he said to Nie Father more than three years ago. If Nie Sisi was willing to marry him in three years, then marry her.
This was just a saying, why did you take it seriously? Wang Mingyu was very depressed. He had not seen Sun Xue for more than a year. When Wang Mingyu received this post, he suddenly realized that he was really not at all about men and women. Now, he has not seen him for more than a year and has not cared about how Sun Xue has been. It is really unqualified.
