Third Reich: I took over power

"Your Excellency, after improvements, the strength of each infantry squad has been increased to 14 people, including a sergeant squad leader, a two-man machine gun team, a two-man grenade team, and a nine-man rifle team.

The squad leader uses a submachine gun and carries six 32-round magazines. The third shooter is eliminated from the machine gun team, and excess ammunition is carried by the logistics unit and distributed during wartime. The grenade group carries a grenade and 36 shells. Among the nine-man rifle team, four will be equipped with new semi-automatic rifles and five will be equipped with Mauser 98K rifles. Among the five people equipped with Mauser 98K, the one with the best marksmanship is equipped with a sniper rifle."

Admiral Bromberg introduced to Hess.

The reason why the 98K rifle was not completely canceled is because this rifle has very good performance, long range, and high reliability. At least in the early stages of the war, it will not fall behind.

At the same time, it can also effectively save ammunition and reduce logistical pressure.

Although semi-automatic rifles have strong firepower, they also consume a lot of bullets. For the Third Reich, which is already poor in resources, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of pressure. In addition, Will increase logistical pressure

The heavy firepower group is composed of two 12.7mm heavy machine gun groups and two 80mm medium mortar groups. This will further strengthen the machine gun firepower of the infantry company. and mortar firepower.

The total number of infantry companies has reached 201. The infantry battalion has a battalion headquarters, three infantry companies and one heavy weapons company.
