    What made Yang Zhen a bit dumbfounded at that time was that those few guns that were originally installed on the pickup truck drove him to run hundreds of kilometers in embarrassment.  If it weren't for the complex terrain of the area, the team that went on the mission was almost wiped out. The twin-mounted 14mm anti-aircraft machine guns were still the Type 58 domestically 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 fell in love with this antique weapon that was completely retired for the squadron.  Its great power when used on the ground, especially its large elevation shooting ability and ultra-long range are highly appreciated during mountain combat.

    This is why Yang Zhen had to create this weapon.  In addition to its simple structure, great power, and multi-purpose use, it is suitable for the current situation of your army.  That is, this weapon was too impressive to Yang Zhen.  But Yang Zhen would never say these words no matter what.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? was a little wešOšOšOšOpšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOšOorellylly outcerlly out outpsy out out out out out out out out of which, when stroking this classic machine gun, Yang Zhen felt a little regretful.  But he also knew that although he did not come up with the quadruple mount he had in mind, compared to the somewhat bulky quadruple-mount anti-aircraft machine guns, the obviously lighter twin mount was more suitable for the troops below the regiment that were intended to equip this weapon, which currently lacked mobility.  Tools are still the current situation where animal power is the main means of transportation.

    After the end of the operation last summer, in order to ensure the opening of the connection with the mainland of Kanchi in the coming year, the operation was carried out.  After Yang Zhen studied with Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, he carried out a drastic reform of the entire military region's organization and the organization of each department.  Not only was the organization of the brigade changed to a division, but the logistics department was also 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 American trucks arrived, they were added to the original Soviet-made trucks and nearly a thousand Japanese-style trucks seized during the operations in the autumn of the previous year and the summer of last year.  The army's current vehicle configuration is extremely sufficient.  But on the one hand, the quantity of gasoline cannot always meet the needs.  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 motorization.

    According to Yang ZhenĄŻs plan, each division of each column will be equipped with a motor battalion of 300 trucks.  As for the artillery regiments of each division, under the current situation that the artillery is still mainly drawn by animal power, they will still be equipped with their own car companies, 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 a car platoon of about thirty to fifty cars.

    Actually, itĄŻs 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.  But in addition to the number of cars, there are other reasons that restrict the development of motorized troops.

    The current situation of relying entirely on imported gasoline and the insufficient number of car drivers and maintenance technicians are also serious factors that restrict the entire motorization of the Anti-Japanese League.  Although driving a car is easier than driving planes and tanks, it takes time to train a large number of drivers.  More importantly, maintenance technicians also take time to train.

    Based on the estimation of ammunition requirements after the troops are equipped with new weapons.  Yang Feizhen requested that the vehicle platoons of each infantry regiment devote more transportation capacity to ammunition and baggage transportation to ensure that regiment-level combat units can carry as much ammunition as possible during combat.  The gap in remaining transportation capacity will be completely solved by the supply of animal power that has been fully restored in the base area.

    Prioritizing ammunition and putting food and other supplies 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 unmatched by the old bolt-action rifles used before.

    Compared with the previous automatic rifles, the firepower intensity can be described as vastly different.  But the consumption of ammunition is also unmatched before.  It can even be described as ten times.  When necessary, food can be seized from enemy-occupied areas.  However, the troops' ammunition cannot be replenished by seizure.

    Yang Zhen didnĄŻt want to see what later generations would know. During the War of Liberation, the army was equipped with a large number of fast-firing weapons.After the weapons were controlled, because the ability to carry ammunition did not change, the sustained combat capability not only did not improve, but actually declined.  After the ammunition is exhausted, it can only rely on limited airdrops for supplies.  Once the airdrops cannot keep up, the troops who lack the determination to die will have no choice but to surrender.

    Future generations will never forget, they are teachers of past lives.  Yang Zhen spent a lot of time trying to find ways to enhance the mobile combat capabilities of the troops as conditions permitted, especially the supplementary capabilities of the grassroots troops.  But since the supply of gasoline was always stuck in the hands of others and the troops were always hungry, Yang Zhen could only use a combination of cars and animal power.

    In addition to a certain number of cars being assigned to the regiment-level troops, they are used to ensure the carrying of ammunition.  The remaining regiments and battalions are equipped with mortars of various calibers, recoilless rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns, infantry artillery and associated basic ammunition, and mainly rely on animal power for transport or traction.

    To this end, the military region specially established a transportation company of one hundred packhorses and seventy carts for each infantry regiment.  Each battalion was equipped with a transport platoon of seventy pack horses.  These animal transport units are specially used to transport various infantry belonging to the regiment and battalion during the march. They cannot carry recoilless rifles, 82 and 60 mortars, the regiment's 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the battalion's 12-point machine guns.  Seven-millimeter anti-aircraft machine gun, and portable ammunition.

    In order to reduce the load-bearing fatigue of the troops as much as possible during marching operations, enhance the mobility of the troops and extend the self-sustainability of the troops as much as possible.  To avoid running out of ammunition on the battlefield.  In this case, a double-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun that can be pulled by horses or dismantled for transportation is significantly more maneuverable than a quadruple-mounted machine gun that can only be towed by trucks, and is more suitable for the current situation of the army.  Especially suitable for regiment-level troops with predetermined equipment.

    And for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the configuration of this logistics transportation tool is only equipped for the four main columns.  For local troops, there is no automobile company at the regiment level.  Each military division also has only one car platoon equipped with thirty cars for mobile use.  As for the regiments, garrison regiments and basic 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 are much better than car replenishment and gasoline replenishment in the foreseeable future.  Although this limited the troops' mobility to a certain extent, it did not have a major impact.

    And 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 the number of seven hundred vehicles each car regiment is equipped with, one regiment can completely transport an entire division at one time.

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

    These troops are specially formed to carry out logistics distribution in wartime, transport materials to the combat aspects they are responsible for, and be responsible for the emergency repair of war-damaged roads and railways during wartime.  It is also used when the railway line is destroyed when large-scale maneuvers of troops are carried out.

    According to Yang ZhenĄŻs 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 must be able to reach all combat areas within thirty-six hours if necessary.

    Although the mobilization of troops at the division level must adopt a mobile combination of roads and railways according to requirements.  However, Yang Zhen also proposed that the newly formed Military Transportation Department of the Logistics Department must be able to ensure that a division's troops rely entirely on road vehicles when executing division-level combat mobilization when the railway line is destroyed.  Transportation, in coordination with each division's own automobile units.  Within seventy-two hours, all the troops of a division will be transported to the combat area designated by superiors.

    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.  Without affecting the unit's operations, certain adjustments were made to its own organization.

    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.  The logistics branch that supplies materials for each combat direction.

    At the same time, before Yang Zhenlin went to northern Shaanxi, he studied and formed six groups based on the original three car groups and relied on the American trucks received.automobile regiment, and nine animal transport detachments.  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 regiments of each division generally use only one battalion.  To save precious gasoline for use in wartime
