Of course, Zhou Wen would not look down on these officers just because they were like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden and curiously touched this. Instead, he was like a collector who met his colleagues who know the goods and introduced them to the performance of each weapon with great interest.
and advantages, and even let a few officers with itchy hands go to a secluded place to test fire a few rounds of bullets, and became addicted to guns.
However, Zhao Changshu knew the importance. Seeing that all the officers, including Commander Huang, were still unfinished, he had no choice but to step forward and remind Commander Huang in his ear: "Brother, I'm afraid we have to report the results of the battle to the military headquarters as soon as possible. I guess the Peking branch is here."
I'm afraid that Marshal Zhang is getting impatient with waiting."
Only then did Commander Huang come to his senses, slapped his forehead and said, "Commander Zhang, hurry up and draft the message immediately."
After Staff Officer Zhang trotted to the radio station to deliver the report, Mr. Huang had time to tease Zhao Changshu and said, "Junior Brother, where is the gift you just said you wanted to give to Senior Brother? Hurry up and bring it up, just in time for the brothers today.
Da Da Ya Festival.”
Only then did Zhao Changshu realize that senior brother might have misunderstood and thought it was some yellow and white thing. He laughed and said: "Senior brother, the war is about to begin. No matter how incompetent I am, I will not use the useless money to trouble senior brother. Come on, come on."
,this way please."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang became interested and followed Zhao Changshu to the edge of a forest.
Mr. Huang was stunned when he saw it.
Not to mention that he was stunned, but the eyes of the group of officers behind him seemed to be stuck with something, and they could not move their eyes away. Some of their eyes even turned red, and the breathing coming out of their nostrils became rapid.
.
I saw rows of rifles neatly stacked on the edge of the woods, as well as piles of belts and cowhide bullet boxes strung on them. Behind the rifles were a row of light machine guns and seven or eight heavy machine guns. Commander Huang knew it at a glance.
Little Japan's crooked light machine gun and 92 heavy machine gun.
What made his eyes brighter was that there were two small cannons with wheels quietly placed behind the heavy machine gun. They were the famous 92 infantry cannons of Little Japan. They were very advanced in performance and could be ejected or fired directly. They were powerful weapons in mountain warfare.
.
It is said that a few years ago, the Northeast Army also wanted to introduce this kind of light mountain artillery to Japan that could accompany infantry attacks, but the little Japanese hid it like a treasure, not to mention selling it, even to observe it.
Now, two 92 infantry guns painted with yellow paint were right in front of him.
Master Huang naturally knew what Zhao Changshu meant by bringing him here, but when so many sophisticated weapons were placed in front of him, with his always calm and sophisticated character, his heart could not help but beat loudly.
"The Japanese army has 723 standard 38 rifles, 1,200 sets of belts and bullets, 29 crooked light machine guns, eight 92 heavy machine guns, 2 92 infantry guns, 31 grenades, 200,000 rounds of 6.5 mm bullets, 7.7
12,000 rounds of millimeter bullets, 300 grenade grenades, and 200 rounds of 92 infantry artillery shells. These are the meeting gifts given to my senior brother by my younger brother. I hope my senior brother will not dislike them."
"Dislike it? You are so pretentious. It's not that I am pretentious in accepting the gift, but that your words are so pretentious that I can't bear it."
Mr. Huang is in a state of mind now. What the hell is this a small gift? This gift is so heavy that I will be crushed to death, okay?
You must know that just two months ago, the predecessor of the 139th Division was only the three-regiment independent 39th Brigade. Until February this year, the situation in Rehe became increasingly tense. In order to strengthen its momentum, the National Government encouraged them to join the anti-Japanese front line.
Only then did each independent brigade expand to a division-level designation.
The 39th Independent Brigade was organized into the 139th Division at this time, but the soldiers and equipment were still the same as those of the original 39th Independent Brigade. Not to mention the guns and ammunition, not even an extra round of bullets was given, so they rushed to the front line of the Great Wall.
This is the current situation of the Chinese army during this period. The Nationalist Government does not even have enough money to support the Central Army. How can it possibly add equipment to these miscellaneous armies?
But what should you do if you want the horse to run without giving it any grass?
For the National Government, there is only one way, which is to provide establishment and military ranks.
Let you be promoted legitimately, the regiment commander becomes a brigade commander, the brigade commander becomes a division commander, and a lot of major generals and lieutenant generals are sealed. To use a common saying in the Republic of China to describe it: there are as many lieutenant generals as dogs, generals are everywhere, and only second-level officers are the only ones.
Give your talent a shake.
Therefore, although the 139th Division is a division, it has only three regiments, and most of its weapons are old and outdated. There is not even one light machine gun in a platoon, and only three heavy machine guns in a battalion. They are still old-fashioned Maxims, and they weigh only 60
Kilograms are generally used for battalion-level support firepower.
The division's artillery only had nine Jin-made 81mm artillery cannons, barely forming a mortar company. There were so few shells that they were reluctant to use them until the critical moment.
Giving them this batch of weapons can at least replace all the equipment of a regiment with Japanese weapons, and it is not much better than the equipment of a brigade of the Japanese army.
Of course, these weapons were originally most of the equipment of a Japanese army brigade.
Since the timing and location of the advance detachment's ambush of the Mishan Brigade were perfect, most of the Japanese troops were killed before they had time to react and adjust. Therefore, the Japanese troops had no time or opportunity to destroy the weapons in their hands.
In particular, the Japanese heavy machine guns and infantry artillery were basically blown to pieces by the artillery of the advance detachment while being carried on mules and horses. There was no time to even set up the artillery. These two 92 infantry cannons were fired directly after the battle.
Seized from the dead packhorse, two others were affected by the explosion of the artillery shell and were partially damaged. Zhou Wen planned to take the parts back to Shanxi for disassembly and research.
Therefore, not only were most of the Japanese weapons completely captured by Zhou Wen, but the bullets they carried with them were not consumed at all. The Beast Brigade completely became a transport brigade.
More than 1,400 of them braved the heavy snow and cold wind and traveled hundreds of kilometers to Lengkou. After completing the transportation task, they all turned into hard corpses. They were very competent.
"There are also the military coats and leather shoes that were stripped off by the Japanese soldiers. They are very warm clothing. They can be used after cleaning and dyeing. If senior brother doesn't dislike it..."
"I don't mind it, I want them all. Except for themselves, little Japan is not a good person, everything else about it is good. Senior brother, I want them all, hahaha."
Commander Huang's hearty laughter suddenly sounded above the woods. Could he be unhappy? It could equip a regiment with equipment, and it was comparable to the equipment of an elite regiment of the Central Army. He even pinched himself secretly to see what happened.
Are you dreaming?
While he was happy, he felt a little bit unbearable and said to Zhao Changshu: "Changshu, after all, you have worked hard for these equipments with your lives. They are all given to us. Senior brother, I..."
"It's okay. To be honest, these equipment were all captured by Colonel Zhou's advance detachment. It was his intention to give them to senior brother."
