"What's wrong?" Hu Lian looked at his chief of staff curiously. His chief of staff was also a figure. When he was fighting an indescribable organization, the enemy troops rushed into his headquarters less than thirty meters away.
He commanded the battle with a calm expression, but now his face is filled with joy. Something happy must have happened.
"Good news, sir, the division headquarters has reissued the previous supplies to us. The German equipment we have on hand has ammunition!"
After fighting for a day, perhaps because they felt that Luodian could not afford to lose anything, or perhaps for other reasons, some of the equipment of the 11th Division was finally replenished, and using the rain and darkness as a cover, they sent it up from behind.
After hearing this, Hu Lian's expression showed uncontrollable excitement. Finally, he had supplies and ammunition. Hu Lian became more confident in being able to defend Luodian, and at the same time he sighed: "It would be great if I could come earlier.
Got it!"
Yes, if it had come earlier, the Sixty-sixth Regiment would not have suffered such huge casualties in order to capture Luodian.
The German weapon divisions during the Anti-Japanese War were completely adapted according to the firepower configuration standards of a German infantry division. It can be said that the firepower crushed the small Japanese soldiers.
The first is weapons. The 11th Division belonged to the 1935 reorganization plan, which was the second batch of reorganization plans. However, something happened in the middle. Chen Jitang and Li Zongren caused the Guangdong and Guangxi Incident, so the plan was shelved until the end of 1936 and 1937.
The reorganization of German weapons was completed at the beginning of the year.
However, the 11th Division only received weapons. Until July 1937, the 11th Division did not receive training from German consultants. Therefore, the German weapon master of the 11th Division only wore the name of a German weapon master and had the right to be a serious soldier.
The 3rd Division, 6th Division, 9th Division, 14th Division, 36th Division, 87th Division, and 88th Division are compared with the Teaching Corps and the Tax Police Corps that are not part of the military system.
, the 11th Division is still a little behind.
After the reorganization was completed, the weapons of the entire 11th Division were all imported German-made 1924-type Mauser rifles, the predecessor of the famous K98K. Of course, some of the weapons were medium- and formal-standard weapons, but the ammunition was universal.
In terms of rifles, the 38 Gai can completely crush the Japanese soldiers in all aspects. There are also light machine guns. Basically, a German weapon division is equipped with a light machine gun in a squad. They are all domestically produced imitations of the Czech ZB26.
In addition, each battalion has six heavy machine guns, all of which are Maxim heavy machine guns. Each battalion has a heavy machine gun company, two for each platoon. As a unit directly under the battalion, the heavy machine guns are higher than those of real German infantry divisions.
It's a bit weak. The standard configuration of a German battalion is twelve rifles. There is no way, the country is poor.
As for the artillery, according to the standards of the German Arms Division, every division should have a direct heavy artillery unit. However, except for the teaching corps and the 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions that were the first batch to be reorganized, the rest of the German divisions should have a direct heavy artillery unit.
None of the armorers had large-caliber artillery, but the Sixty-sixth Regiment did have a regimental mortar company with six 82mm Brown mortars and three 20mm Soloton machine guns. However,
They have no ammunition and are being left to gather dust in the logistics department.
Hu Lian drank the soup in his hand, then put a smile on his face, looked at Yu Yang with even more joy, and patted Yu Yang's shoulder again: "Eat slowly, don't be anxious, you are really good
I am Hu Lian’s blessed general!”
Yu Yang arrived and brought good news to Hu Lian. Not only had some Japanese been eliminated, but the lack of ammunition was also replenished. Now the Sixty-sixth Regiment could finally feel proud and deal well with the Japs.
After eating, Hu Lian and Yu Yang rushed directly to the division headquarters. This time they not only wanted to pick up equipment, but also wanted to pick up people. The troops of the Sixty-sixth Regiment that had been promised before also arrived. With people and guns, Hu Lian went
Have confidence to defend Luodian.
The division headquarters is not very far from the regiment headquarters. It is less than three kilometers behind Luodian. Except for the 66th Regiment, the other regiments of the 11th Division are scattered around Luodian, and they are all engaged in firefights with Little Japan.
, At present, the war situation seems to be very stable. We only need to advance step by step to drive the Japanese into the sea, and the Battle of Songhu can be won.
The Division Headquarters Logistics Office was brightly lit. In this era, the Japanese had not yet developed aircraft for night combat, and the Kuomintang had not lost air superiority. In addition, the weather was bad today, and it was impossible for the Japanese bombers to take off, so they dared to light the lights so openly.
The transport convoy stopped in the open space, and there were shouts and shouts everywhere. Some were old friends whom they had not seen for a long time, some were arguing with the logistics officers and soldiers, feeling that they had taken too little, and some were anxiously waiting for supplies.
Hu Lian wore a raincoat and kept saying hello to people. He walked to a tent and whispered to Yu Yang: "Yu Yang, take this order and go and replenish the troops of our Sixty-sixth Regiment."
Pull me here, and let these new recruits carry things back for me later! Remember, you have to move quickly, pick the strong ones, and don’t pick some melons and cracked jujubes for me to come back with!"
Yu Yang nodded and ran quickly in the direction pointed by Hu Lian. The Kuomintang army's replenishment of supplies and the bandits' sharing of spoils were actually not very different. Due to the chaos of the system, the logistics of the Kuomintang army was also in great chaos.
So generally when supplies arrive, whoever has a good relationship with the logistics officer will be able to get the good stuff. Secondly, whoever comes quickly will be able to get the good stuff. The good stuff here refers not only to guns and ammunition, but also to
soldiers.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang had not captured strong men. When the War of Resistance entered the middle and late stages, the gap in the number of soldiers became very large. First of all, those who voluntarily joined the army to serve the country and the young men who were captured were different soldiers. Secondly, the physical fitness of soldiers in different regions was also different.
, some soldiers look tall and strong, while more are sallow and thin.
Yu Yang trotted to the place Hu Lian was talking about, a place similar to a small village. There was an officer sitting in a tent at the door, reading a book boredly. He put his things away after seeing Yu Yang.
He stood up, pretending to be recording something.
"which unit are you in!"
"Brother, from the Sixty-sixth Regiment, I'm here to pick up the new recruits from our regiment!" After Yu Yang finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and stuffed it into the officer's hand.
The officer put away his cigarette, looked at Yu Yang, and then flipped through the notebook in his hand: "The Sixty-sixth Regiment, right? Here's your order to lead the troops!"
Yu Yang immediately took out the warrant Hu Lian gave him and handed it over. After the officer looked at it twice, he coughed lightly: "Is that so, your Sixty-sixth Regiment is going to recruit 200 new soldiers, right? Here we are."
