The Chief of Staff’s wish is good, and each regiment forms a mountain camp... but it is actually difficult to realize.

The main reason is that the Eighth Route Army was short of soldiers and their qualities were uneven at this time.

It is possible that a group of 3,000 people, like Chu Yunfei, with more than 5,000 people, would form a mountain camp, but the Eighth Route Army regiments often had more than a thousand, and some failed to replenish in time or even less than one thousand people. It is unrealistic to form a mountain camp to form a mountain army.

On the other hand, this kind of mountain troops requires small but exquisiteness.

The reason is that steep mountain warfare often requires not many people, and a few people can suppress dozens or even hundreds of enemies at the commanding heights.

Once there are too many people, it means that the quality is insufficient and even the enemy is easily discovered or even inconvenient to mobility.

For example, rock climbing sneak attacks, it is almost the same as platoon or even class units. If a company is sent to climb from the rear, the probability of being discovered by the enemy is very high.

Therefore, when the Chief of Staff generated electricity and said that Wang Xuexin could be transferred to a battalion, Wang Xuexin politely declined.

Wang Xuexin replied: "Chief, the mountain combat troops are expensive but not expensive. If each regiment can form a mountain camp, then it is not much different from the conventional troops. Moreover, with such a large organization, our army may not be able to be equipped!"

Wang Xuexin had previously told Sun Erwei that there were only one thousand sets of rock climbing equipment, which was prepared for the formation of mountain companies in the entire army.

So the total scale should be around one thousand people.

Some of the differences have little impact. It is not difficult to produce some rock climbing equipment arsenals in the form of production, not to mention that there are subsequent problems such as wear and loss, so they cannot rely entirely on imports.

Of course, just rock climbing equipment is not enough, so Wang Xuexin took some time to consider the combat methods of the mountain troops.

If this is in modern times, there is no need to say more about mountain combat, that is the world of helicopters and drones... It may take half a day or even a day for a person to climb up a mountain with an altitude of 1,200 meters, but it only takes a few minutes for a helicopter.

From this mountain to that mountain, if you use two legs to go up and down, the straight line distance may be only one kilometer, but it may take a few days to walk, and the helicopter will also only take a few minutes.

So helicopters can be said to be a magical tool for mountain warfare.

But helicopters in this era have not been used in actual combat, especially the Eighth Route Army, which has harsh conditions, can't even think about it. Wang Xuexin can only think about a combat method that suits this era.

The equipment must be mainly composed of the Springfield rifle.

This is not only because the Eighth Route Army can produce ammunition at this time, but also because the rifle has a sniper type... Just install a scope, it is necessary to buy it from Yingshang. Two snipers in a squad are equipped with a sniper rifle, and only about ten ones in a company. This quantity is still affordable.

In addition, more importantly, the curved weapon is.

The characteristic of mountain combat is that there are many obstacles, such as stones, mounds of soil, etc. If the target hides behind hidden objects and opens fire, such as the grenade launcher commonly equipped by the Japanese, this is a rifle and a sniper rifle cannot deal with, and it must have curved-fire equipment.

Five-year cannon?

Wang Xuexin frowned.

Although the 50th Cannon was created by Wang Xuexin against the Japanese grenade launcher, the effect is also good in actual combat.

But it would be inappropriate if used in special forces such as mountain companies.

The main reason is that the quality of the 50 small cannon is not up to standard and the barrel is tough and easy to damage.

This is nothing for conventional troops, but if it is used in mountainous companies... This hard-working person who travels through mountains and rivers with cannons and shells on his back, and if he really finds that he is broken or even explodes when he is used, it will have a serious impact on morale and confidence.

Therefore, the equipment of the mountainous company must be well-fed, and it is better not to bring it without it.

But what else can I bring besides the 50th cannon?

Use the Japanese grenade launcher?

So, do you have to use the Japanese grenades all in one?

What if this is not captured and there is no time to replenish it?

Suddenly, Wang Xuexin slapped his thigh... Damn, doesn't Eagle Sauce have grenades? And it is used by the Springfield rifle. You only need to install a small device at the muzzle to fire grenades, with a range of more than 300 meters.

More importantly, if you use this thing, don’t even bring a cannon, which can save a lot of weight and not take up the organization. This is not a trivial matter for the mountain troops.

Thinking of Wang Xuexin, he immediately wanted to find Sun Erwei.

Unexpectedly, Sun Erwei came here before he got up.

"Wang, I have something to discuss with you!" said Sun Erwei.

"Oh, I'm looking for you too!" Wang Xuexin replied: "You talk first!"

"That's right!" Sun Erwei naturally sat down on the office chair in front of Wang Xuexin, holding an English telegram in his hand, and said, "I just received a telegram from the colonel. Because your tactics and suggestions are effective in air combat, it is foreseeable that we will soon enter the island-seizing battle with the Japanese. The island-seizing battle is something our army is not good at. The terrain on the island is complicated and there are mountains and jungles everywhere. This situation seems to be very similar to the battlefield of Tiaoshan in the Eighth Route Army!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh", and he roughly guessed what Sun Erwei meant.

Sure enough, Sun Erwei continued: "So, my superiors hope that I can participate in the training and combat of your army as a military observer, and then send the key tactical points to the country, so that we can avoid unnecessary casualties in future combat!"

Because of the lack of pressure on war, especially the land warfare tactics are very backward, a considerable number of troops invested in the Pacific battlefield are recruits with no war experience.

Wang Xuexin pretended to hesitate: "This...isn't it suitable?"

In fact, this is also in line with the interests of China. After all, the Japanese are the common enemy of the two countries. As long as they are not good for the Japanese, it is beneficial to China.

The reason why Wang Xuexin hesitated was just to add some chips to his hands.

"What's wrong?" Sun Erwei asked back: "Worry that we can't keep it confidential? Don't worry, Wang! We will do a good job of confidentiality!"

"No, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin replied: "The issue of confidentiality is second-hand. Of course I believe you. But I don't know if you have considered this issue. The firepower of our army and your army is too different. Our army is basically in the state of Xiaomi and rifle. Our army's tactics are formulated based on the firepower of our army, and may not be applicable to your army!"

Sun Erwei nodded slowly. After Wang Xuexin said this, he also felt that this was true. The firepower of the Eighth Route Army was too far from that of the Eagle Sauce, and its tactics were likely to be untreated.

Seeing that Sun Erwei was a little disappointed, Wang Xuexin pretended to be thoughtful and said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Sun Erwei asked.

"Unless we equip a unit with a size of about one thousand people!" Wang Xuexin said: "According to the firepower configuration of the Eagle Sauce Army, the equipment is provided by your army, we fight against the enemy on the battlefield, and then study tactics..."

Before Wang Xuexin finished speaking, Sun Erwei replied ecstaticly: "No problem! Just do it!"
