The equipment is equipped with 60mm caliber mortars, and the company level is equipped with 77mm mortars.

In Song Biao's prediction and hope, in the future, the battalion level will be directly equipped with 81mm caliber mortars, and the battalion level will be equipped with 105mm caliber mortars. In addition to 20mm caliber and 37mm caliber rapid-fire machine guns, there will be absolutely no need for infantry guns.

But if it is a large-scale military operation at the division level, the troops must be equipped with two types of light field guns of... caliber on a large scale, and the artillery brigade must be equipped with a large number of howitzers and cannons of... caliber.

The reason why Song Biao wanted to build the army in this way was precisely because China's territory was too large, which was completely different from European countries, and even more different from Japan, so there was no need for the Northeastern New Army to copy German military theories.

Based on the guiding ideology of the Northeastern New Army, Colonel Martos knew that Song Biao definitely wanted this kind of Madsen machine gun. Especially when the machine gun ammunition was compatible, the Northeastern New Army must install it on a large scale.

Desen machine gun, and it is installed at the squad level as much as possible.

Even if this infantry squad does not need mortars, it must still need Madsen machine guns. In the worst case, the mortars will be placed at the platoon level.

Because the Madsen machine gun is expensive to make, and there are many problems involved in buying three thousand guns at a time, Song Biao and Colonel Martos discussed various possible problems.

Not equipping mortars at the squad level is the basic conclusion reached by the Northeastern New Army in the Liaoyang Battle. The main reason is that supply is too difficult. If the Madsen machine gun is installed on a large scale and its performance is very reliable, Mark

At what level is the Qin heavy machine gun installed?

The Northeastern New Army installed 60mm caliber mortars at the platoon level and adopted the idea of ​​setting up a separate mortar squad for each platoon. This squad is equipped with 12 people and has two mortars.

Song Biao actually discussed with Colonel Martos a 30mm caliber infantry howitzer, which has the same principle as a mortar. This is a grenade launcher used by the German and Japanese troops. It is intended to be installed at the squad level, and the range requirement is 100m.

Considering the problems after the Madsen light machine gun was installed, Song Biao felt that the troops must install grenade guns, and correspondingly, the grenades must adopt the British ball shape, so that the use of hand grenades and rifle grenades have completely different combat characteristics, and they are mutually exclusive.

Can be used in a matching manner.

If this series of problems can be solved, and a separate heavy machine gun platoon is set up at the company level, equipped with three heavy machine guns, it will undoubtedly be more complete, and the basic combat strength of the entire army will be greatly improved as a whole.

.

There are many problems caused by a light machine gun. Song Biao and Colonel Martos discussed this for a long time. At this time, it was determined that the second phase of training must be continued again, and the third phase of training will be considered after three months.

.

As a result, the fourth phase of training will end in September next year. The recruitment of new recruits will begin around June. In September, the army will be expanded into three reserve infantry regiments, one reserve cavalry regiment, one baggage regiment, one engineering regiment, and one artillery regiment.

to 1908

Around September, the main regiments of the entire army began to expand to the brigade level. By around 1910, the entire army completed the overall expansion of six infantry divisions, three cavalry brigades, and three artillery brigades, and the strength of the entire army headquarters increased dramatically.

to 180,000 people.

At this rate of expansion, it was basically 1910 before Song Biao had the ability to advance nationwide. However, we still have to consider the possibility of Japanese and Russian interference. The possibility of Russian interference is not very high, and it is very difficult to say for Japan.

In other words, even if Song Biao starts to promote the Restoration Revolution and sends troops to the pass, he must retain enough troops in the pass to take precautions, and even keep the main elite in the pass to frighten Japan. (To be continued)!~!
