Chapter 73 The Scale of the North China Militia Column

(PS: First of all, thank you to the book friend "Xiaoyi 002" for your third reward today. Mosquito expressed deep gratitude again! The two fifty votes for recommendation have already hit the daily limit, and the additional updates are added to fulfill the promise. It is not far from the bell at twelve o'clock. See if Mosquito needs to continue to update at night! Everyone, make the decision!)

Looking at the commanders of the 129th Division standing beside him, looking at him like looking at a monster, Deng Chenggong felt a little numb. He blamed Wu Zhongyuan for selling him cleanly, but also had to find a topic to divert the other party's attention.

Deng Chenggong smiled and said, "I believe everyone has two functions: single-fire and continuous shooting. However, this rifle is an upgraded version of the civil-style rifle that I assigned to the militia brigade. In a sense, this rifle is better than the civil-style rifle. It is limited to the backward production capacity and machinery and equipment. At present, we have produced less than 500 civil-style assault rifles in total, all equipped to the column's Flying Eagle Characteristics Brigade and the headquarters' guards.

As for the civil-style rifle I mentioned to you before, the ammunition capacity is different from this assault rifle, and it is the same as the ammunition capacity of the 38th large cover. However, it reduces the trouble of pulling the bolt, and its function is much better than other rifles.

Central Plains, give me a civilian rifle!”

Taken a civil-style rifle with a bayonet from Wu Zhongyuan. Deng Chenggong skillfully pressed the bullet into the barrel and asked the flying eagle team members to put the target at a distance of 400 meters. After the team members set the target, Deng Chenggong threw a gun and pressed the butt on his shoulder and fired five consecutive shots.

After the Flying Eagle team brought the target, some people who didn't believe that Deng Chenggong was capable of training as a sharpshooter like Wu Zhongyuan were speechless. However, they were destined to accept Deng Chenggong's intentional display today. Deng Chenggong, who had fired the bullet, asked Wu Zhongyuan to take a bullet and put it into the barrel, and then took another grenade that had been produced that had been fixed and produced a lot. They shot at the target 200 meters ahead, and heard a "boom" explosion, and the entire target exploded.

Depend on!

After seeing this kind of rifle, Chen Geng and others had completely lost interest in the 38th large cover in the warehouse. For any commander, this rifle that can fire small shells can undoubtedly directly increase the combat effectiveness of the troops by several levels. If one regiment of their current regiment encounters a regiment of the militia column, they do not need mortars at all. As long as they are equipped with a few more rifles, they will only be beaten.

Sure enough, after hearing Deng Chenggong say that the effective range of this civilian unit can reach about four hundred meters and a maximum range of one thousand meters. The regiment commanders of Chen Geng and other brigades knew that troops equipped with this kind of rifle will be able to hit the rifle in today's era when they use a range of more than two hundred meters. They may only be beaten if they encounter them!

When Deng Chenggong proposed to let them try it, except for the political commissar Deng Ping, the 129th Division, which was not participated, the other division commander Liu Bo and deputy division commander Xu Qian, felt the shock brought to them by this new type of gun. It was not until everyone felt the two rifles that Liu Bo said meaningfully: "After feeling the experience of this weapon, I understand why success, you would say that losing this kind of gun is considered treason. This gun is indeed worth keeping it so confidential. I dare say that if the Japanese got a sample of this kind of gun, with their economic strength, they would definitely produce more guns of the same type.

At that time, what will be depleted is our China military strength. However, I just discovered that the bullets used by your rifles seem to be smaller than those we commonly use. Aren’t you worried that this will cause trouble for your logistics supply?"

Deng Chenggong nodded and said, "Indeed, because we use 7.62 caliber bullets, we must implement independent supply in every battle. To this end, the two militia brigades currently equipped with automobile transport teams. Moreover, although using this kind of gun can enhance the volley of the troops' firepower, the demand for bullets will also increase greatly. With the current economic situation of the militia brigade, at most three main brigades are equipped. If there are many major battles, photobullets may be able to emptiate our financial reserves."

Thinking that the bullets consumed by the second militia brigade that is currently training at the Wolf Base are indeed astronomical. However, in order to enable the elite militia drawn from various militia regiments to master this new weapon as soon as possible, Deng Chenggong had to ask the arsenal to increase the manufacturing of bullets. Fortunately, the current storage of bullets of the militia column should be enough to fight several large-scale battles. Therefore, the difficulty of lack of bullets cannot be felt for the time being.

When Liu Bo heard Deng Chenggong say that he was equipped with three main brigades, he continued to ask: "By the way, along the way, I saw that your militia column had a village militia squad, a regular militia regiment, and the militia brigade you just mentioned. Can you tell me how many main brigades your militia column now have? Although I know that asking this question is suspected of inquiring about military information, I believe that we will carry out a series of operations in the future, and everyone will know more about each other, which will probably help our next joint combat. If you feel embarrassed, then pretend that I didn't ask, you don't have to mind too much. Haha!"

Can I mind? Do I dare to mind when facing you?

Deng Chenggong, who smiled bitterly, said happily: "At present, there is only one Marine infantry brigade, the newly expanded first infantry brigade, an artillery brigade, and the Feiying Special Operations Brigade. As for other militia brigades under the militia column, there are twelve militia brigades and nineteen militia regiments. As for the reserve militia team, I don't know how many of them are, but there were nearly 100,000 before the Japanese encirclement and suppression, and it has expanded a lot during this period. So, I can't tell the specific preparation numbers for the time being!"

When Liu Bo heard Deng successfully reported these numbers, he almost bit his tongue, but he still suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "How many people are your brigade level?"

Deng Chenggong continued: "The militia brigade is directly under the three main infantry regiments, plus the guard battalion, artillery battalion, engineering battalion and transportation brigade directly under the brigade. The number of people is 8,000 to 9,000! As for the militia brigade below, the number of people is only 2,000 to 3,000. According to the jurisdiction they are responsible for, the troop strength is also different. The militia regiment is controlled below 1,000 people, and only a few militia regiments will be expanded to more than 1,000 people. In addition to these front-line combat troops formed by formal militia, we have also set up district brigades and village squads in the base area. There are no restrictions on these second-level militia teams. Some district brigades have even more people than militia regiments, which is normal."

Liu Bo, Deng Ping and Xu Qian and others were shocked from the military power reported by Deng Chenggong. In this Japanese-controlled North China region, a team of about 50,000 regular troops and nearly 100,000 reserve troops appeared. Once this news spread, it would probably shake off the domestic militia columns, but the eyes of a group of mobs!

Even the People's Party headquarters, which believes that they know more about militia columns than other forces, believe that after receiving this news, some people should be dispelled from annexing the anti-Japanese armed forces. This is also why Liu Bo asked, "Deng Chenggong said everything without hiding it at all."

In fact, when I saw these founding heroes who were unable to deal with him today, he knew that this weakness was sympathetic to no one in this era. So, all he could do was to let them tell the people behind his back through these people. That is, don’t use any evil tricks, otherwise your own militia column might make you lose all your life.

Only by letting the other party understand that they have the strength to negotiate terms with them can they truly regard them as equal opponents. After driving away the Japanese in the future, the political capital he can obtain will be greater. This is also the main reason why when he came to this world, he did not go to find them as soon as possible, but instead buried his patience in the countryside of North China to develop strength.

Although the People's Party is a force that commands guns, no one can deny that when you have enough troops in your hands, your power and voice in the party will increase a lot. This unspoken rule is clearly recognized by everyone.

Just as the two sides were about to end today's talks, a member of the Flying Eagle Special Forces sent an encrypted telegram forwarded by the Hidden Dragon Base. After seeing the telegram, Deng Chenggong's eyes lit up. He knew that the first fighter plane of the militia column had appeared. This also means that the reserve team led by his commander finally came to show its strength.

Because the situation was urgent, Deng Chenggong did not care about politeness or impoliteness, and told them the address of a grain warehouse next to the militia base, and wrote a book of lading issued by him. Deng Chenggong took the Flying Eagle team members and rode a tall horse and quickly left the place that had become the 129th Division station. Thinking of starting the war again, Deng Chenggong felt that talking to these people he had admired before was not as happy as killing people in the war. Perhaps the other party would still be confused about his words, but I believe that the next battle should dispel their concerns!

In fact, Deng Chenggong had another real consideration, that is, although this heavy encirclement of the Japanese soldiers would inevitably bring huge losses to the base area. But he believed that after experiencing the test of this war, many militias who had never felt the fire of war and blood baptism would also usher in a rebirth.

When he truly has a militia column that is not afraid of facing the Japanese, then in the future, any force in North China must consider whether it will arouse their disgust. This also means that the North China militia column, a team that was previously regarded as a mob, truly has the strength to negotiate with other forces.

For the upcoming light over North China, fight for the upcoming light! This is a secret saying in Deng Chenggong when he saw the fighter plane appear!
Chapter completed!
