Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Okay, these things may happen to every man. It can only be said that it is fate. Work hard here in the future. Are you afraid of not having girls? There are girls who want to marry you, brother. Even though this is a security team, I don't know how it will develop in the future, but I believe that as long as we have faith in our hearts, we will be able to walk this road to success." After a big drink, Mao Yuanshan and Wang Bing became friends. At this time, Mao Yuanshan suddenly remembered why he came to Beijing. Wasn't it because of a student in Beijing?

Forget it, I'd better not harm others. I know very well what I was like in the past. Besides, the current situation is not the time to be sentimental.

"Don't worry, commander. I don't have any other skills, but I'm good at leading troops. As for the entire 29th Army, I can't say about the senior generals, but there are not many lower-level officers who are better than me. Moreover, I have seen the squad leaders you found for me. Their basic military qualities are absolutely outstanding. Even those in the Central Army can hardly catch up with them. They seem to be better than the Japanese." Wang Bing was a man of temperament. After a few drinks, he began to speak his heart out.

Mao Yuanshan couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing what Wang Bing said. How could the quality of these squad leaders be so poor? They are all clone soldiers.

"I wonder what kind of organization the regiment commander wants to make our security regiment into." There were all kinds of organizations in the country at that time, and Wang Bing couldn't figure out what his superior wanted to do, whether to make a large organization of empty salaries or a small organization of capable troops. "This is what I think about the organization. We now have only one security regiment and two security teams. The security regiment has three battalions and more than 3,000 people, and the two security teams add up to more than 3,000 people. We might as well call it this to the outside world, but manage it as a security regiment internally." Mao Yuanshan expressed his thoughts, which also made Wang Binglei very angry. What a joke, even if it is for internal use, this 6,000-person security regiment is big enough, let alone a security regiment, even a reinforced regiment of the Central Army has only 5,000 people.

Mao Yuanshan then expressed his thoughts. Although it was called a security regiment on the surface, it was actually a reinforced regiment. A squad had fifteen people, a Czech light machine gun, the squad leader and deputy squad leader were equipped with Suomi submachine guns, and the other soldiers used Mauser rifles. Everyone had double guns and twenty-shot Mauser pistols, which were also good equipment and were deeply loved by Chinese soldiers.

A platoon consists of four squads plus a fire support squad. The fire support squad has two Maxim heavy machine guns, two Type 60 mortars, and a total of 80 people.

A company consists of four platoons, one artillery platoon, one guard squad, and three machine gun squads. The artillery platoon has twelve Type 60 mortars, the guard squad has twenty people, all equipped with Suomi submachine guns, and the machine gun squad has three Maxim heavy machine guns. In total, a company has 17 Maxim heavy machine guns.

A battalion consists of three standard infantry companies, an artillery company and a fire support company. The battalion headquarters is equipped with a guard platoon. All 90 members of the guard platoon are equipped with Suomi submachine guns and Mauser pistols.

The artillery company is temporarily equipped with 40 Type 15 mortars, which will be replaced with larger caliber ones in the future. The fire support company is equipped with 30 Maxim heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns, while others are equipped with Suomi submachine guns.

Such a battalion has nearly 2000 people. Three battalions make up our security regiment. If we have better weapons in the future, we will form a new army.

When Mao Yuanshan finished saying these words, Wang Bing was dumbfounded. He didn't know whether there was something wrong with his hearing or with the brain of this regiment commander. If such a regiment was really formed, its firepower would have to be extremely strong. Not to mention that the 29th Army had never heard of it, even the Japanese Central Army could not compare with this regiment.

When will a squad be equipped with a Czech light machine gun? You should know that in the 29th Army, a company only had two to three light machine guns. It was already very good for a company to have a Maxim heavy machine gun. Most armies had heavy machine guns at the battalion level. As for mortars, they were generally only available at the brigade level.

"Commander, I know you have a way to get some weapons from the Germans, but have you ever thought about it? If our security regiment is really formed, all the firepower standards will have to exceed that of a standard infantry division, and such an infantry division must be of the most elite standard of the Central Army." Wang Bing said.

Of course, Mao Yuanshan did not feel how scared he was when he said that. In that era, it was impossible for an army to have such powerful firepower. However, Mao Yuanshan knew that in the US army a few years later, such firepower equipment would be considered common. Americans would always use 105mm howitzers and would not take the 60mm mortar seriously at all. Influenced by some textbooks in later generations, Mao Yuanshan also wanted to arm his army to the teeth, because only in this way could he reduce casualties.

"My Lord Chief of Staff, these things are not for you to worry about. You just need to build up the army for me according to this configuration. In one to two months, they must have initial combat effectiveness, and after three months the combat effectiveness must be significantly improved. Now the Japs in North China are increasing their troops, and you can see what the situation is. We can't trust anyone, and we can only rely on the guns in our hands." Mao Yuanshan said solemnly. He was familiar with the direction of history and knew very well that the Lion Bridge Incident would happen soon. If he didn't have a reliable armed force before that, then there would be real problems. Don't even mention the words of a Bodhisattva to save the country and the people. Even saving his own life and property is just a dream. Those Japanese devils burned and killed people.
