Chapter 55: Difficulties

Since it cannot be used as main combat equipment, it can always be used for training? It is always a good idea to train your own logistics repair and support personnel, because the main battles of mechanized troops rely on logistical maintenance and support personnel to ensure the efficiency of their personnel. For example, in the historical North African battlefield, the German armored troops commanded by Rommel relied on superb maintenance technology and strong logistical support, and dealt with the British army with disadvantaged forces, so that the British army often complained that the German tanks shot by themselves could always be resurrected in time!

Zhang Xuewu was also forced to do nothing. Who made his country's overall industrial level lag behind? The idea of ​​buying weapons was deeply rooted in Zhang Xuewu's mind, but how to buy it? Where does the funds come? Zhang Xuewu was still helpless in terms of how to ensure it. Faced with the gathering of Japanese troops in Jinzhou, Zhang Xuewu had realized that there was not much time left for him. The War of Rehe was related to the overall situation of the war in the future of the country. It was a thousand-one that mobilized the whole body, and Zhang Xuewu couldn't help but be uncautious.

Under the care of Minister He, equipment that would take one month or even longer to be issued for normal approval was shipped to Tianjin within a week. As soon as the convoy entered the camp, Zhang Xuewu couldn't wait to open the box, because the classic 98k among the Mauser rifles had not yet been equipped with the German army. The batch of rifles issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs is most likely the batch of standard rifles purchased through the Reif Foreign Company in the 19th year of the Republic of China.

After opening the lead-bar sealed gun box, Zhang Xuewu ignored the yellow glycerin in the box and picked up a clear and opened the gun chamber with a slam. It was indeed a brand new Mauser standard rifle. Zhang Xuewu remembered that at the end of 1924, the Mauser company launched a standard Mauser rifle, hoping to replace the German-powered Type 98 rifle, which is an improved version of the Type 98 rifle. Based on the gew98 rifle, the barrel was shortened to 600 mm and about 236 inches, and the total length of the gun was 12 of the gew98 rifle.

The 5-meter shortened to 111 meters, and a new sight was used. The standard type was named because the barrel length was 60 cm. In fact, the standard type was not highly valued by the German military, and it was almost unknown to Germany. By chance, the Chinese military, which sought to buy arms, became the largest user of the standard type rifle. Later, the Mauser Brothers Machinery Company also sold all the drawings to China. The official rifle or commonly known as the seven-nine rifle during the War of Resistance Against Japan was the standard type rifle made in the country!

The weapons and personnel are basically full, and the newly formed First Division has high morale. In addition to the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and mechanized regiment, the three infantry regiments and artillery regiments under the division all have certain combat effectiveness.

Although October in Peking City is bright and cool, it is also full of warmth. The first comprehensive drill of the new First Division of the National Revolutionary Army Army also kicked off after the reorganization. The evil neighbors finally left, and the Japanese squadron stationed in Jinghai was really relieved, because the shocking shouts and explosions next door made them creepy.

It was the first time that Japanese commander Shotaro Kobayashi had seen that there were troops in the world who were conducting on-site blasting training on their playgrounds. They also often fired live ammunitions from the west to the east of the playground. The training of soldiers' tactics was also coordinated with live ammunition. The Chinese army's base was higher than that of the Japanese army, so the Japanese army could always enjoy the thrill of the flowing bullet of the Maxine heavy machine gun in the air and slid through.

At the beginning, Shotaro Kobayashi often protested to report to the consulate, but almost every time he protested, the camp was inexplicably bombarded, and the warheads falling into the camp were still trained bombs and smoke bombs produced by the empire. The repeated investigations were fruitless.

In the end, even the Consulate Counselor Yamamoto was so angry that he got angry because Zhang Xuewu was not afraid of protests at all. He was a guy who was afraid of the world and even had an armed conflict with the garrison squadron in private. Counselor Yamamoto asked Shotaro Kobayashi to report directly to the military headquarters or go to find despicable Chinese to duel!

Obviously, neither of these two were the choices of Shotaro Kobayashi. He was about to retire in a few months. He returned to Hokkaido to buy a fishing boat and live a stable and happy life. Looking at the empty camp of the newly formed First Division, Major Kobayashi Shotaro almost had tears in his eyes. He was not from a clan samurai, nor was he the young people who were burned out by the fanaticism of the Kanto Army. Shotaro Kobayashi was an ordinary Japanese. He was the eldest son of his family. The purpose of joining the army was to eat less at home. As for loyalty to the Emperor? In Kobayashi Shotaro's opinion, that was the thing that deserved those who had received the favor of the Emperor.

The cold wind in the northern part of October made Zhang Xuewu tighten his collar tighten. In his previous life, he had gone to the exercise ground in Aohan Aobao many times to participate in the live-fire confrontation. Even if it snows during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was not a strange thing. Thanks to his preparations, all troops carried sufficient cotton tents and cotton coats.

Wearing a light green Central Army cotton coat and wearing a fur hat with a Northeastern army's characteristics, the troops of the newly-made First Division, carrying thick gloves and yellow bed sheets, rolled forward, and the cavalry battalion directly under the division headquarters acted as the coming soldiers. Hao Wenbin was deeply impressed by Zhang Xuewu's ability to borrow things.

It can be said that in addition to weapons, the officers and soldiers of the newly formed First Division are almost all worn by Zhang Xuewu on IOUs from the Peking Military Branch to pay credit, so they are very face-saving.

However, Zhang Xuewu's actions made Hao Wenbin slightly unsure, such as cotton coats, cotton shoes, and cotton tents. Could it be that Zhang Xuewu really planned to spend the winter in Rehe, where birds do not shit? In contact with Nanjing, a recent abnormal move, and even allocated all the weapons that were originally issued in Nanchang. This is likely to be related to several recent statements by the Japanese army. I am afraid that the new First Division will enter Rehe and show the central government's determination to protect Rehe to Beiping?

The First Infantry Regiment, Second Regiment, Third Regiment, Artillery Regiment and Division Direct Team have arrived at Chengde Women's Middle School. Zhang Xuewu frowned and looked at his watch and asked, "Where has the mechanized regiment set out together now?"

Several staff members looked at each other without saying a word. Zhang Xuewu turned around and strode to the radio station just set up and said, "Send a message to the Chief of Staff immediately, once every five minutes!"

Li Wensheng, deputy director of the secret office in charge of the radio, said bitterly: "Stand Master, the director of the secret office assigned to us by Shangfeng has not arrived yet, I don't have a password book on hand! If you want to contact the Chief of Staff, you can only use a clear telegram."

"Open telegram?" Zhang Xuewu couldn't help but touch the gun holster, scaring Li Wensheng to take a step back. Zhang Xuewu snorted heavily, "Who is such a big show? I've been reorganized and the troops are set off. A small secret director is not yet in office? Generate power to the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately. It's better not to have such a secret director!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuewu was so angry, Hao Wenbin persuaded him: "Don't worry, everyone knows that the mechanization regiment is your heart and soul. With Chief Li in charge, it will be a big deal to hurt your body, right?"

Zhang Xuewu looked around and said, "This is the girls' high school. The school has not yet closed classes. All the tents of our troops are connected to the wasteland Li Yan by the wall on the west side. Plan out the defense zone of the camp. Before the materials are in place, the military police will be sent to patrol. Each regiment will excavate field fortifications on the spot, build tents, and repeatedly declare military discipline issues to each regiment. This is a girl's school. Especially the influence should be paid attention to. Those who are not in a state of military consolidation will have fifty military sticks. Those who damage the image of revolutionary soldiers will never tolerate the law on the spot!"

After Zhang Xuewu left angrily, Hao Wenbin felt a chill on his back. He thought in his heart that this person was really a model of being kind and not being in charge of soldiers! He was really decisive in killing, so he would still keep more spirits in the future. It would not be a joke to collide with this person.
