    What made Yang Zhen a bit dumbfounded at the time was that those few guns that were originally installed on the pickup truck drove him in embarrassment for hundreds of kilometers. If the local terrain was not complicated, almost the whole team that went to perform the mission would have been  The destroyed twin-mounted 14mm anti-aircraft machine gun was still the Type 58 that China used to support the opponent out of some strategic need.

    Although he was embarrassed that time by this machine gun produced in his own country, Yang Zhen deeply fell in love with this antique weapon that was completely retired for the Chinese ** team. It was used on the ground.  The huge power displayed during the battle, especially its shooting ability at a large elevation angle and ultra-long range during mountain combat, is extremely appreciated.

    This is also the reason why Yang Zhen had to create this kind of weapon. In addition to its simple structure, huge power, and multi-purpose use suitable for the current situation of his army, this weapon is too impressive for Yang Zhen, but this  Yang Zhen will not say these words no matter what.

    After sighing in his heart and stroking this classic machine gun, Yang Zhen felt a little regretful, but he also knew that although he had not achieved the quadruple-mounted machine gun he had in mind, compared to the somewhat bulky quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun  , the obviously lighter double-mounted unit is more suitable for the troops below the regiment that are scheduled to be equipped with this weapon. Currently, they lack mobile tools and still rely on animal power as the main means of transportation.

    After the end of last summer's operation, in order to ensure the opening of operations with mainland Guanhai in the coming year, Yang Zhen, after studying with Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, carried out a drastic reform of the entire military region's organization and the organization of each department.  The organization of the brigade was changed to a division, and the logistics department was refined and quantified.

    In addition to deploying a considerable number of elite troops to enrich the logistics department, the logistics structure of each column, each division, and even each infantry regiment was also determined based on the current situation and future plans of the army's increasing firepower and increasing reliance on logistics.  Considerable adjustments have been made,

    Although after the arrival of the American trucks, coupled with the original Soviet-made trucks and the nearly a thousand Japanese-style trucks seized in the battles last fall and last summer, the army's current vehicle configuration is extremely sufficient, but on the one hand, due to the amount of gasoline,  The demand cannot always be met. Another reason is the lack of sufficient maintenance personnel.

    And in Yang Zhen's view, under the current situation, facing the same relatively poor maneuverability, in addition to railway transportation, they also rely more on bipedal marching. In addition to the equipment of each division's baggage regiment,  In addition to more than a hundred trucks, the Japanese army relied more on animal power to ensure logistics supplies. There was no need to convert all the troops to motorized vehicles.

    According to Yang Zhen's plan, each division of each column will be equipped with a car battalion of 300 trucks, and the artillery regiments of each division, under the current situation that artillery is still mainly animal-drawn, will still be equipped with their own  The car company is specially used to transport supplementary artillery shells,

    In this way, while retaining some trucks as reserves, the number of vehicles allocated to each infantry regiment will not be too many. According to the current gasoline supply capacity of the military region, each infantry regiment can only be equipped with one  A line of cars of about thirty to fifty cars;

    In fact, it is not that the number of cars is not enough. Judging from the current number of field troops and the number of cars in hand, it can still meet the configuration of four field columns. However, in addition to the number of cars, there are other reasons that restrict the troops from using motorcycles.  the trend of cultural development,

    The current situation of relying entirely on imported gasoline, and the insufficient number of car drivers and maintenance technicians is also a serious factor restricting all motorization of the Anti-Japanese War. Although driving a car is easier than driving an airplane or a tank, it takes time to train a large number of drivers, and even more  The most important thing is maintenance technicians, which also take time to train.

    Based on the estimation of the ammunition demand after the troops are equipped with new weapons, Yang Feizhen requested that the vehicle platoons of each infantry regiment invest more transportation capacity in ammunition and baggage transportation to ensure that units operating at the regiment level can carry out as much as possible during combat.  Carry as much ammunition as possible, and all gaps in remaining transportation capacity will be solved by using the animal power supply that has been completely restored in the base area.

    Prioritizing ammunition and putting food and other materials in a relatively secondary position is also a last resort. After all, under the premise that the entire army's light weapons are about to be automated, the consumption of ammunition is the largest consumption of ammunition used in the past.  Rifles are incomparable,

    The firepower intensity of the automatic rifle that is about to be replaced can be described as vastly different from before, but the consumption of ammunition is also unmatched before, and can even be described as ten times. When necessary, food  It can be seized from enemy-occupied areas, but the troops' ammunition cannot be replenished by seizure.

    Yang Zhen didn¡¯t want to see what later generations would know. During the War of Liberation, the Japanese troops were equipped with a large number of rapid-fire rifles.After the United States made weapons, the ability to carry ammunition has not changed, and the sustained combat capability has not improved, but has declined. After the ammunition is used up, it can only rely on limited airdrops to replenish it. Once the airdrops cannot keep up, they will die due to lack of ammunition.  Determined troops can only be captured without help.

    Future generations will never forget that the troops of the past tried their best to enhance the mobile combat capabilities of the troops as conditions permitted, especially the supplementary capabilities of the grassroots troops. Yang Zhen spent a lot of time, but in the supply of gasoline  Always stuck in the hands of others and the troops always had insufficient food to eat, Yang Zhen could only resort to a combination of cars and animal power.

    In addition to a certain number of vehicles assigned to the regiment-level troops to ensure the carrying of ammunition, the rest of the regiments and battalions are equipped with various caliber mortars, recoilless rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns, infantry guns and associated basic ammunition, which mainly rely on animal power  To carry or tow,

    To this end, the military region has specially set up a transportation company of 100 pack horses and 70 carts for each infantry regiment. Each battalion is equipped with a transportation platoon of 70 pack horses. These animal transport units are specially used in  When marching, it is used to transport various infantry belonging to the regiment and battalion. It cannot carry recoilless rifles, 82, 60 mortars, regiment 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, battalion 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and carry  ammunition,

    In order to reduce the fatigue of the troops when marching and fighting as much as possible, enhance the mobility of the troops and extend the self-sustainability of the troops as much as possible to avoid insufficient ammunition on the battlefield. In this case, horses can be used to pull or dismantle the troops.  The mobility of the twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun that can be transported on packs is significantly higher than that of the four-unit that can only be towed by trucks. It is more suitable for the current situation of the army, and is especially suitable for regiment-level troops with predetermined equipment.

    Moreover, for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this logistics transportation vehicle configuration is only equipped for the four main columns. For local troops, there is no automobile company at the regiment level, and each military division only has one equipped with thirty automobiles.  Automobile platoons are used as mobile vehicles. As for the ** regiments, garrison regiments and basic cadre regiments under each military division, all transportation vehicles are uniformly equipped with horses or carts.

    After all, the number of horses and the supply of horse feed that can meet the needs of the local area itself is much better than the replenishment of cars and gasoline in the foreseeable future. Although this limits the mobility of the troops to a certain extent, it does not affect too much.  big,

    Moreover, when necessary, each field column can not only rely on railway transportation, but also receive assistance from six automobile regiments belonging to the three branches of the Logistics Department, all of which are equipped with American-made trucks with excellent performance. According to each  With a car regiment equipped with 700 cars, one regiment can transport an entire division in one go.

    In order to ensure the forward delivery of materials to the rear during wartime, at Yang Zhen's request, the Logistics Department established three secondary divisions according to the planned combat directions. In addition to the two automobile regiments under the headquarters, each  Each branch has jurisdiction over two ** automobile regiments and three animal transport detachments, as well as one engineering corps and one railway corps.

    These troops are specially formed to transfer materials to the combat areas they are responsible for during wartime. They are also responsible for repairing battle-damaged roads and railways during wartime, and for large-scale mobile mobilization of troops.  Used when the line is destroyed,

    According to Yang Zhen's planning requirements, all materials in the base area can be transferred from the rear material warehouse to any field warehouse on the front line at any time within thirty-six hours. When regiment-level troops are mobilized across theaters, they can be transferred when necessary  Under certain circumstances, one must have the ability to reach all combat areas within thirty-six hours.

    Although the mobilization of troops at the division level is required to adopt a mobile combination of roads and railways, Yang Zhen also proposed that the newly formed Military Transportation Department of the Logistics Department must be able to carry out operations even if the railway line is destroyed.  When mobilizing operations at the division level, we must be able to ensure that the troops of a division rely entirely on road vehicle transportation and cooperate with each division's own vehicle units to transport all the troops of a division to the destination designated by superiors within 72 hours.  combat area,

    In order to meet Yang Zhen's request as much as possible, before last year's battle was over, the Logistics Department, with the cooperation of the Political Department, mobilized a large number of people to participate in the repair of battle-damaged roads and railways before the freeze.  At the same time, certain adjustments were made to its own organization without affecting the operations of the troops.

    In addition to the original departments, based on the current situation, a group of elite soldiers and generals were also mobilized to form a new military transportation department. The highway and railway emergency repair department, material planning department, and Nenjiang, Mudanjiang, and Dong'an were responsible for the three departments respectively.  A logistics branch that supplies supplies for each combat direction,

    At the same time, before Yang Zhenlin went to northern Shaanxi, he studied the original three independent truck groups and relied on the received American truck groups.Six automobile regiments and nine animal transport detachments were built. These troops had been formed before Yang Zhen returned to the Northeast.

    However, with gasoline being in short supply, daily transportation relies more on railways and animal power, and the number of cars dispatched is not too many. Except for a few large-scale exercises, the two car groups in each division,  Under normal circumstances, only one battalion is used to save precious gasoline for use in wartime.
