Chapter 215 The turmoil in the eyes of the teacher

Liu Lang started to reorganize the construction plan signed by Zhang Linfeng. Located in the Second Division headquarters of Yongfeng Prefecture, Zhang Linfeng also looked at each other with the construction plan reported by Liu Lang and Li Bohua, chief of staff.

Because the deputy division commander Zhou Zhiguang had led the Third Brigade to Landzhou to participate in the powerful "encirclement and suppression" battle organized by the King, the only two of them were the highest commanders of the Second Division.

"Teacher, that kid's organization is a bit outrageous! If it is spread in the future, will some people criticize you?" Li Bohua pointed at the top of his head.

"Hehe, it's true that it's outrageous. However, Liu Lang didn't ask me for a penny of military pay. He was subsidizing himself to raise soldiers for the country. Who dared to say bad things about me?" Zhang Linfeng posted a little.

"I'm afraid that someone will use this as a joke and say that my master has changed the organization plan without authorization. Look, that kid is so brave that he dares to get twelve heavy machine guns in one company." Li Bohua said.

"That's how I'm not afraid, Chief of Staff, I ask you, can you turn 80 heavy machine guns out? Or do you have a good face and ask the military headquarters to approve dozens of them?" Zhang Linfeng asked back.

"I don't have that face. Even if I sell my 100 pounds, I probably won't be able to get ten yuan." Li Bohua smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"So! What's wrong with me after I approved a preparation plan? Anyway, there's money. No matter how hard he struggles, as long as he doesn't ask me for money and equipment, I dare to collect and approve it. Anyway, I won't have any wars in the past few years, and there won't be any major problems if I stay in Qiu Tongzhou." Zhang Linfeng laughed and said his true thoughts.

That's right, the reason why Zhang Linfeng agreed to Liu Lang's independent group preparation plan was that in addition to the 20,000 silver coin gift package that Liu Lang gave privately, Zhang Linfeng actually felt that Liu Lang's preparation was too presumptuous. To put it bluntly, in Zhang Linfeng's eyes, Liu Lang's current approach is to be a rich second-generation and have money to make fun of.

According to the temporary organizational table just issued by the Kingdom Army in June, the current organization of the fifth regiment of the Class A Division, plus the other battalion-level direct troops, the number of personnel in the entire division is only 12,993. In other words, the number of personnel in a regiment will not exceed 2,000. Not only did Liu Lang not only exceed the number of personnel given by the military headquarters, but the special brigade and machine gun platoons are like a joke.

The more than that, he had to find a way to raise military pay. Since Liu Lang could pay for the subsidy himself, Zhang Linfeng could be seen as invisible. Anyway, the Independent Corps could be considered under his command. He gave 1,500 people and had more than 2,100 soldiers. No matter how he calculated, it was a good deal.

Decentralizing heavy machine gun-level support firepower to the company-level platoon level is a trend of modern warfare, which can ensure that it will cause greater damage to the enemy on the front line. As a general like Zhang Linfeng who came from the Kingdom Military Academy, he naturally knows it. However, knowing does not mean that he can do it.

First of all, Liu Lang organized a machine gun platoon to be equipped with 3 mortars and 4 heavy machine guns. What is this? This means that 18 infantry platoons in his two infantry battalions, 6 infantry companies, 18 infantry platoons in total, and 72 heavy machine guns. This is almost the heavy firepower equipped by a B-type division. One regiment and another division are compared. What is this not imagination?

Even if he is rich and can buy so many weapons, where does the bullets come from? How to ensure logistics? As the commander of the first division of the Central Army's most elite field division, Zhang Linfeng obviously thought it carefully. You must know that even a type of A division like him, the bullets and shells equipped in wartime did not exceed one base.

According to Liu Lang's almost imaginary prodigal configuration, the ammunition of the entire division was not enough for him to play for a day.

As for the special brigade, in Zhang Linfeng's opinion, it was just a spy businessman who changed his name, while the others were just a matter of order and could not be said to have any special novelty.

Of course, Liu Lang couldn't create 72 mainstream Qinhe machine guns currently equipped with the Kingdom Army. No matter how rich he is, the standard weapons that the Kingdom Army lacks in green eyes are not so easy to buy. The few that Lu Cong gave him before were already used to be so scattered.

However, Liu Lang did not intend to use Qin as a standard weapon of the Independent Regiment's heavy machine gun from the beginning. Although this heavy machine gun with a firing rate of 600 rounds per minute has already crushed the Black Hawk Army's heavy machine gun, Liu Lang felt that it was not enough.

In Liu Lang's plan, all heavy machine guns will be replaced by the MG42 with a lengthened and bold barrel range of up to 1,500 meters and a maximum firing rate of 1,500 rounds per minute. With 4 MG42 gun platoons, it can not only show the power of a "death chainsaw" to the frontal attack enemy, but also pose a great threat to the current propeller bomber with a speed of only more than 300 kilometers per hour. If the problem of bullet supply can be solved, the MG42 can be regarded as the strongest light firepower of the front-line troops.

Of course, Zhang Linfeng didn't know that the ordnance factory of Liu Lang's Independent Regiment was driving full power to produce bullets under the leadership of Grunov, producing 7.9MM millimeter machine rifle bullets, suitable for rifles, light machine guns, and the same-grade bullets used for MG42. Now the monthly output has basically stabilized at 300,000 rounds. If the 150,000 rounds are spent on monthly training, it can still store 150,000 rounds. There is still 6 months before the Battle of the Ancient City. Putting aside the one month of advance marching, 5 months, 750,000 rounds are enough for 80 MG42 to keep ejecting the sound of a death saw that made the Black Hawk Imperial Army frightened.

Given the logistical burden caused by the excessive ability of the MG42 machine gun to consume bullets, Liu Lang still reluctantly asked the squad to use light machine guns at the first level, otherwise the transportation of photobullets would crush the soldiers. The main job of the squad was to carry bullets specially equipped with the cannon platoon.

As for another suppressive vitality of the machine cannon platoon, the difficulty of purchasing is much smaller than that of the heavy machine gun. Cannons, as the god of war, have long been established in World War I, and the kingdom army's demand for cannons is almost insatiable. However, the lack of steel and steel technology are not enough to pay attention to, even if there are drawings, it is impossible to imitate all kinds of heavy artillery that can send dozens of kilograms of heavy artillery shells tens of thousands of meters away.

If you can’t get heavy artillery, just use small artillery. Mortars of all kinds of calibers from 60 to 120 have become the mainstream manufacturing of military factories across the country.

The arsenal located in the capital is the best in making mortars. Since the imported coiled steel imitation of the Type 82 mortars, the annual output has reached 300. Since July, Liu Lang has telegrammed Boss Lu and used the profit of nearly 150,000 yuan in cash silver coins in the next five months to ask him to go to the capital to buy 36 Type 60, 36 Type 82 mortars and a total of 6,000 shells for the Independent Regiment. In addition to the cost of nearly 100,000 silver coins, there is still room for 50,000 silver coins to allow Boss Lu to move up and down.

In other words, as long as you have money, the existing equipment in the kingdom is not a big problem for Liu Lang.

What Liu Lang lacks now is mainly people. The large number of middle and low-level officers forced Liu Lang to use the sergeant veterans who performed well in the past three months.

After listening to Liu Lang's preparation report, the more than 2,000 people in the group were most looking forward to the trap that their big radish would fall into.
