Tell him that Martin 139WC will not be dispatched for the time being.
Will the other party report it to their superiors? Probably yes.
"You must work hard to master the technology." Zhang Yong specially ordered.
"Okay." Huang Zhicheng replied.
I feel a little confused inside.
I don’t know why Zhang Yong has such high demands.
It seems that we are only responsible for maintenance. Do we need to have a thorough understanding of technology? We are not producing bombers...
Zhang Yong did not elaborate.
The domestically produced long-range bombers of later generations are a weak link.
Since you have the conditions, let’s lay a little foundation from now on and make a small contribution.
There was no movement at night.
rest.
Early the next morning, we flew back to Jiujiang.
The military command structure of the 48th Army has arrived.
Army Commander Wei Yunsong, Chief of Staff Mo Dehong, Director of Operations and others all arrived.
Also arriving at the same time was a battalion of advance troops.
Finally saw the Gui family wolf soldiers.
They all looked tired. They were too tired from the long march.
They were the advance team and had access to some transportation. Others had to rely on walking.
Due to the lack of transportation and insufficient railway and waterway transportation, it is very difficult for the national army to mobilize its troops over long distances.
Basically, you can only rely on two legs. Therefore, the mobilization distance should not exceed 500 kilometers.
If this distance is exceeded, the march will be protracted.
The 48th Army rushes from Tonglu to the Xuzhou battlefield, and it is estimated that it will take a month.
Is it too late? I hope. This is the reality.
"Commissioner Zhang!"
"Commander Wei!"
Zhang Yong greets Wei Yunsong.
Wei Yunsong is very qualified and relatively old.
How should I put it? He is three years older than little Zhuge.
Graduated from the Martial Arts Hall and participated in almost all wars, large and small, since the Revolution of 1911.
In terms of qualifications, he is definitely very old. But in terms of his ability to command and fight, it’s hard to say. Maybe he can only be said to be average.
In fact, throughout the Songhu battlefield, the performance of the Guangxi troops was average. The casualties were also very high.
Because he neglected air defense, he was once caught and strafed by Japanese aircraft, killing more than a thousand people.
The rumored Guangxi wolf soldiers are not outstanding at all.
According to the information collected by Zhang Yong, there were four armies of the Guangxi faction participating in the Battle of Songhu. They were all the main force. They were indeed rich in wealth.
The sacrifice was indeed very great. However, the results were mediocre.
Like other national troops, the Guangxi wolf soldiers also have a process of becoming familiar with the battlefield. Now that they have been beaten severely, it should not be so bad.
"Commander Wei, let's go in and talk."
"Commissioner Zhang, my troops are in urgent need of replenishing weapons and ammunition."
Wei Yunsong was very anxious.
He probably did it deliberately to test Zhang Yong.
The so-called inspection is actually a two-way choice. It is a process of adjustment.
I listen to you. But you have to provide weapons and ammunition.
Right now, weapons and ammunition are most in short supply. Everyone is in short supply.
"no problem."
Zhang Yong immediately arranged for the system to be delivered.
At the same time, the chief of staff of the 48th Army was asked to report on the personnel situation of the troops.
If there are weapons and ammunition, someone must use them.
Soldiers come first.
"Commissioner, our department currently has a total of 28,000 people..."
"wrong."
Zhang Yong stopped the other party's words.
Deliberately. The other party exaggerated. In fact, there are not that many people at all.
The system shows that the 48th Army only has about 17,000 people. Including some missing statistics, it must not exceed 20,000.
"What's wrong?"
"You only have eighteen thousand people."
"us……"
"Chief of Staff, don't forget what I did before. I can get information about the Japanese invaders, let alone one of my own?"
"Commissioner..."
"I will replenish you with weapons and ammunition based on the establishment of 40,000 people."
"How many?"
Wei Yunsong and the chief of staff both looked at each other.
Forty thousand people?
Did you hear that right?
"There is no problem in replenishing weapons and ammunition. However, if I assign you a combat mission based on 28,000 people, you may cry."
"us……"
Wei Yunsong was silent. Mo Dehong was silent too.
The other party has already said it to this extent, and there is no point in denying it.
If you continue to argue, you will be the one who suffers.
"Commissioner, I remembered it wrong." Mo Dehong took over the responsibility.
"So, you are not suitable to be the chief of staff." Zhang Yong said slowly, "You should go to the front line."
Modhong was silent.
Wei Yunsong was silent.
Did the Commissioner assign the Chief of Staff as soon as they met?
Sent to the front lines to carry guns?
Cruel enough.
but……
They are not made of clay either.
They won't sit still and wait for death.
"You currently have three divisions, which are not enough. I want to add a new division. You, Mo Dehong, will serve as the division commander."
"What?"
Wei Yunsong and Mo Dehong were both stunned.
Then it was unbelievable.
Do you doubt again that you heard it wrong?
Mr. Commissioner, do you want Mo Dehong to serve as division commander?
this……
What statement?
The two of them were completely fooled.
Especially Mo Dehong. Of course he hopes to serve as division commander.
He is really not suitable for the job of chief of staff. It would be best if he could serve as division commander and go to the front line.
But……
Is it possible?
They are not familiar with this Commissioner!
"Follow me to the dock."
"yes."
Bring the Gui wolf soldiers to the dock.
The system transport ship has arrived. It's a big one. It may have a displacement of three thousand tons.
Jiujiang is downstream of Hankou and at the outlet of Poyang Lake. The dock is still very deep.
In theory, it can even berth giant ships of 10,000 tons.
A cargo ship with a displacement of 3,000 tons does not seem very big.
Wei Yunsong looked around and found nothing unusual. He and the chief of staff looked at each other, but neither noticed the freighter.
That cargo ship is so big, and it still flies the Italian flag?
Obviously, this is a foreign cargo ship.
"Commissioner..."
"First replenish 1,500 tons of weapons and ammunition."
"What?"
"I have prepared fifteen hundred tons of weapons and ammunition for you, enough to supplement your entire army."
"How many?"
Wei Yunsong and the chief of staff were both shocked.
The two of them looked at each other in shock and looked around in surprise.
Fifteen hundred tons of weapons and ammunition?
Where?
Where?
My heart couldn't hold it back and almost jumped out.
God!
Fifteen hundred tons of weapons and ammunition! That’s a huge ammunition depot!
but!
Is it possible?
Impossible?
Who could be so generous?
That’s 1,500 tons of weapons and ammunition?
"That's the freighter."
Zhang Yong switched to Cantonese, which is Cantonese vernacular.
Wei Yunsong and Mo Dehong are both from Guizhou Province. Speaking Mandarin is extremely difficult.
I can barely understand it, but it's very hard. Once I speak in plain English, communication becomes much easier.
"Huh?"
Sure enough, both Wei Yunsong and Mo Dehong breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that the Commissioner can speak the vernacular!
Okay, okay, I feel much more cordial immediately. I didn’t say it earlier. It took so much effort.
"Let's arrange for someone to go up and unload the goods."
"Sir Commissioner, are you talking about the Italian freighter?"
"Yes, that's it. The weapons loaded on it are all the ammunition I prepared for your 48th Army. They were obtained from the Sicilians."
"ah……"
The two were overjoyed and hurriedly boarded the boat for inspection.
Oh my God! It turns out to be this huge ship!
Awesome!
Such a big cargo ship!
How much munitions must be carried!
Fifteen hundred tons...
How much is it?
For a moment, my excited heart and trembling hands...
Get on board.
Check.
"ah……"
Wei Yunsong was so excited that he felt dizzy.
I almost fainted on the spot. It was a happy faint. The impact was too strong.
What did he see?
It’s really a boat full of munitions!
Most of the ammunition includes various types of bullets and artillery shells.
Weapons are also part of it.
Mainly horse four-ring rifles. There may be two to three thousand...
There are also light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, etc...
The light machine gun is the German MG34. It's the first time it's appeared, and I don't know how effective it is. I'm worried about the lack of ammunition supply on the front line.
There is also the Sulothong 20mm machine gun...
These are Zhang Yong's entire inventory.
This time it was all delivered at once.
Just let the 48th Army take it to the Xuzhou battlefield to give a little boost to the Xuzhou battlefield.
In fact, there are really not many weapons. Most of them are ammunition. The heavy weapons only have 20mm machine guns.
Without heavy weapons, it is destined to be fatal.
The battle in the future will still be very difficult.
"Commissioner, are they all for our 48th Army?" Mo Dehong's voice was a little trembling.
"Yes." Zhang Yong nodded, "It is based on the establishment of 40,000 people."
"Ah..." Mo Dehong was not only surprised but also surprised.
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
This Commissioner is really awesome.
He actually got a ship full of munitions.
Moreover, without saying a word, all funds were directly allocated to the 48th Army!
No formalities required!
No conditions required!
By the way, if sold for money, such a ship of arms would be worth at least several million oceans, right?
"so much……"
"so much……"
Over there, Wei Yunsong couldn't wait to open some of the ammunition boxes.
There are bright yellow bullets inside. They are all made of copper and are shiny.
Most of them are 7.92mm Mauser rifle rounds.
The standard rifle bullets of the national army.
There are also some 7.62mm Mosin-Nagant rifle bullets.
On the Xuzhou battlefield, some members of the Northwest Army also participated in the battle. They were equipped with some Mosin-Nagant rifles.
There are also some 7.7mm British 77 rifle ammunition.
Some soldiers of the 48th Army are equipped with Ying 77 rifles. The number is not large, but they do exist.
Some soldiers of the Guangxi clan also wore British-style helmets.
It can only be described as a hodgepodge.
The weapons and equipment purchased by the Gui clan are also diverse.
All the chief officers of the logistics department of the national army actually want to die. The weapons are too messy and it is too difficult to replenish them.
"Commander Wei!"
"arrive!"
Wei Yunsong's attitude changed significantly.
His doubts about Zhang Yong completely disappeared and he began to correct his position.
"What you brought is the secret service battalion?"
"yes."
"Are they the elite of your 48th Army?"
"That's right."
"Then let me see their individual skills."
"yes."
Wei Yunsong hurriedly made arrangements.
For a moment, I actually felt like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
There is no way, the Commissioner is really generous! All the weapons and ammunition needed by the 48th Army have been replenished.
Now, if the Commissioner wants to see the combat effectiveness of the 48th Army, of course he must use all his strength!
Return to Jiujiang Advance Command Post.
There is a training ground nearby and a ready-made barracks.
If Chiang Kai-shek came to Jiujiang, the security force would certainly not have only one battalion.
Now that Chiang Kai-shek is away, these barracks are temporarily vacant. However, there are people who clean them frequently and keep them on standby. So the 48th Army stayed temporarily.
"Mr. Commissioner..." Wei Yunsong was a little uneasy.
The barracks here seem to be where the ancient imperial guards were stationed to protect the royal family.
If the 48th Army moves in, will it be overstepped?
"This place is under my control." Zhang Yong said lightly, "I will execute the order."
"Yes!" Wei Yunsong no longer hesitated.
Have a night's rest.
Early the next morning, the assessment began.
The expressions of Wei Yunsong and Mo Dehong were very serious.
Last night, they reported the situation to Commander Li and Bai. The instructions they received were that they must perform at their best.
To put it bluntly, in one sentence, you must not embarrass yourself in front of the Commissioner.
This is related to the face of our entire Guangxi army.
So both of them were under great pressure.
"Move up!"
"yes!"
Someone brought up many wooden boxes.
Open it. There are all kinds of pistols inside.
There are Browning M1935s and shell guns. All are original versions.
Products produced by the system must be of high quality.
These are today's rewards. Those who perform well will get them.
The first test is the least difficult. It is rifle shooting. A fixed target. The distance is 100 meters. It is considered a basic skill for soldiers.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Fifty people participated in the assessment.
The results are very average.
Each person has ten rounds of bullets. Very few have more than 90 rings. Most of them are around 80 rings.
This is already the special agent battalion of the 48th Army, and they are carefully selected sharpshooters. This is also the result. The level of other people can be seen clearly.
Wei Yunsong:......
Mo Dehong:......
Both of them looked a little confused.
At this level, the 48th Army is said to be the most elite, but it is indeed a bit underwhelming.
But there is nothing we can do. No other army has so many sharpshooters.
Sharpshooters need bullets to feed them. The Gui family doesn't have that many bullets. The direct German weapon masters don't even have them!
What's more, in the Songhu battlefield, the veterans of the 48th Army suffered heavy losses and could not be replaced.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong himself didn't mind.
It turns out that sharpshooters and snipers can only be used in specific situations.
Most of the time, most battlefields will not give you a chance to aim at all. You will just grab the gun and fire randomly.
You read that right, it's just firing randomly. Maybe you can't even see where the enemy is.
Therefore, in a sense, bolt-action rifles will really be gradually eliminated from the battlefield.
From now on, the world will be dominated by semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns.
Later, there were also assault rifles.
Unfortunately, the national army's frontline supply capabilities are also very poor.
Even if there is enough ammunition in the rear, it is difficult to transport it to the front line. It all depends on manual labor.
As for the weapons and ammunition arranged by the system to be transported in large quantities, they must either rely on railways or waterways and cannot be sent to the front line.
Therefore, it is still possible that a certain section of the front line or a certain unit may run out of ammunition and food.
If it is an automatic weapon, the bullets will be exhausted very quickly, and the logistics cannot keep up. Then the only option is to stare blankly.
In the end, I chose the horse four-ring rifle. Bolt action.
Pull the bolt slowly. There's nothing you can do about it.
Each soldier carries 120 rounds of ammunition, which should be enough for a day of fighting.
"good!"
"Everyone come forward!"
Zhang Yong stood up and presented awards to the winners.
Those with 90 rings or above will all be rewarded with a Browning M1935 pistol.
Everyone else will be rewarded with shell guns.
"you!"
"Departure."
Point to the one with the best score.
He looks lean, short, and unremarkable.
However, it was such a corporal who shot as fast as he could with his gun, and he actually achieved a score of 100 rings.
There is no doubt that this is a born sharpshooter!
In this case, of course it cannot be rewarded according to ordinary people, nor can it be used by ordinary people.
"Sir!"
"Ever heard of a sniper rifle?"
"No."
"I'll give you one."
Zhang Yong took out a horse four-ring rifle and paired it with a scope.
Carl Zeiss' quadruple scope has an effective range of about 600 meters. If you are skilled enough, you can shoot 800 meters or further.
In the past, Zhang Yong was also very fascinated by snipers and thought they could play a big role.
Later, after experiencing various major battlefields, I realized that even if I could hit 800 meters, it was useless because it didn't need to be that far.
On the battlefield, all kinds of explosions, all kinds of fires, and all kinds of smoke screens are good if you can see them a hundred meters away. Do you want to see them 800 meters away?
They are all cannonballs.
They are all bombs.
The fiercer the battle, the more shells fell.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery shells, snipers are useless unless they are on the periphery of the battlefield.
Therefore, the real use of snipers is outside the battlefield.
"From now on, you will act alone."
"What?"
"This is my order. Commander Wei and Chief of Staff Mo have also heard it. I allow you to act alone in the future without returning to Jian. You can use any means to kill the Japanese invaders."
"this……"
"Or stay with me. I'll talk to you about how to fight alone when I have time."
"yes."
"There are a few of you out there."
Zhang Yong called out all those with scores above 90 points to form a team.
Each person is issued a horse four-ring rifle and a four-fold scope.
In conventional combat, they really don't have much effect.
However, it is still useful if you are away from the battlefield.
As for how to fight, he will teach you slowly when he has time.
