Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Zeng Jiwen spent a week thinking about the memories in his mind, constantly deleting and revising them, and finally obtained a basically complete teaching syllabus for the three-three system. He then called the soldiers of the guard battalion to start learning this new infantry tactical thinking.

According to the tactical idea of ​​the three-three system, three soldiers form a combat group, and three combat groups form a combat squad according to the three-three system principle. In order to achieve the best effect, each combat squad is led by a squad leader, a deputy squad leader and a group leader to form a triangular skirmish line to advance.

At the same time, according to the changes in the offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield, different formations are listed under sign language, such as the common column to a line formation, a column to a triangle formation, a column to a left echelon, a line formation to a front triangle, a group formation, etc.

However, this also requires that the trained soldiers must have combat experience and be relatively agile, and be able to change formations at any time to adapt to the situation on the battlefield, so this requires a lot of time training and sufficient combat.

Since entering Shanxi, the 389th Brigade has fought two ambushes and moved to the surrounding areas to open up bases. One thing followed another, so that Zeng Jiwen had no time to promote training. Now the opportunity has come.

The current time is completely in time for Zeng Jiwen. The Japanese army will probably attack the south in mid-March. By the time the war is over, it should be summer. During these two months, he can stay in the rear and combine tactics to carry out actual operations against the Japanese army's rear transport teams or garrison troops.

When the Japanese army began to attack and sweep the base in the summer, the three-three system was fully capable of fighting the Japanese army. After the guard company was trained, Zeng Jiwen began to call the commanders of each regiment to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. He began to popularize the three-three system tactical organization ideas to each commander under the demonstration of the guard company.

After each regimental commander understood the trick, he asked each regiment to select a company in batches to go to the brigade headquarters to start learning this method, and then return to each regiment to start training.

Zeng Jiwen was busy with this matter throughout the end of February. At the same time, he sent someone to secretly deliver the teaching syllabus he had compiled to the headquarters via a document, asking the headquarters to start promoting it in other brother units.

The headquarters also attached great importance to it after receiving Zeng Jiwen's secret document. They selected a company from the guard regiment to start drills according to the teaching syllabus given by Zeng Jiwen. After completion, they conducted confrontation drills with ordinary companies. The results surprised the headquarters.

Throughout February, Zeng Jiwen took advantage of the Japanese army's busy supply and transportation adjustments to devote his energy to the construction of the base and the training of the troops. After the busy February, taking advantage of the Japanese army's free time, Zeng Jiwen came to the factory building of the Taihang Mountain First Military Factory.

After entering the military factory, Zeng Jiwen saw a large number of workers using various machine tools to process spare parts, and then the master craftsmen began to measure the precision of the parts with calipers. After completing the measurement and confirming that there were no problems, they began to combine the parts to produce imitation Japanese Type 38 rifles.

According to Zeng Jiwen's idea, the main focus of the military factory at present is to produce standard weapons and ammunition for the Japanese army. There is no need to design new standard weapons for the time being. Everything should be focused on supplying ammunition and light and heavy machine guns to the entire brigade as much as possible. It will not be too late to make a decision after the summer war is over.

Zeng Jiwen felt a surge of joy as he watched the workers at the military factory, each one grinding and machining parts while instructing the young people beside them. Currently, the military factory had only about 600 people, including those he had rescued and those supported by his family. To expand production, Zeng Jiwen, after consulting with the brigade, decided to recruit a large number of people from the base area to serve as apprentices at the military factory, with an average of three apprentices per worker. After a few months, some basic operations could be handed over to these people, allowing them to impart as much knowledge as possible without affecting production.
