In the end, after Liang Wenzhong carefully counted, excluding the mortars, machine guns, and mountain artillery that Zhao Ergou and his battery of only 60 people currently received, the independent regiment also received a total of 900 Hanyang-made 1928 guns and 280 shell guns.
18 Czech-made ZB-26 light machine guns, 9 Maxim heavy machine guns, 900 bayonets, a total of 150,000 rounds of rifle machine gun bullets, a total of 500 rounds of various types of artillery shells, 10,000 wooden handle grenades, and 1,500 sets of individual soldier equipment.
.
In addition to the dazzling array of equipment, there is also a military salary of 70,000 yuan from June to September plus half-year military expenses, which makes the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment really smile.
Most of the people here were from the 19th Route Army. The 19th Route Army had never seen military pay since October last year. Suddenly, seeing boxes of white flowers being carried out of the ocean, I couldn't help but moisten my eyes.
Not to mention the soldiers who were used to being poor, even Liu Lang was a little dazzled at the moment.
Military historical materials are mostly vague about the army equipment before the reorganization of the national army, and the variety of weapons types is dazzling, but in summary there is only one word, miscellaneous, miscellaneous, miscellaneous for the miscellaneous army.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the domestic environment at the time. China has experienced warlord melee for the past ten years. Naturally, each warlord will not purchase the same standard weapons. German, French, Japanese, Swedish, as long as they can kill people
, warlords naturally accept everyone who comes. Even if the Nationalist Government later unified the country, it would still be a long process to redress all the troops of nearly 200 divisions.
This work, until the early days of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, could only be completed by twenty divisions. Millions of people went to the battlefield with a variety of weapons. It is conceivable that the huge pressure on logistics was great. Once there was a problem in the logistics,
What's the use of having more people?
But Liu Lang finally saw the strength of the elite of the national army. According to the 1930 Army Establishment Regulations of the National Army, the Second National Division is a Category A division. Judging from the standard equipment given to him by the division headquarters for a small independent regiment with only 1,500 places,
Let’s not talk about heavy weapons. Let’s just talk about light weapons. Except for the slightly weaker rifle performance and the lack of squad-level support fire grenades, the rest are not much worse than the Japanese army.
Of course, what determines the trend of the war is heavy firepower. Otherwise, in the Battle of Songhu five years later, the Chinese army would have suffered a huge defeat with 800,000 elite troops against 200,000 Japanese troops, with 300,000 casualties.
With planes in the sky, strong ships and artillery on the ground and sea, and lack of effective fire support, the national army could only be passively beaten, and in the end could only retreat with heavy casualties. It was a crime other than war. With such a national power, there was nothing to be done.
This is obviously not something Liu Lang can change at the moment, but no matter what, having so many more arms is naturally a good thing. In addition to the previous gift from Du Yuesheng, Liu Lang can now support light machine gun firepower to squad-level troops, and heavy machine gun support to
At the platoon level, there are six more mortars, four 20mm machine guns, and two 75mm Bofors mountain guns. With this equipment, if a Japanese group of the same level is drawn to compete, Liu Lang can make them
Do you know why the flowers are so red?
That's because blood stained it red.
Liu Lang was very happy at this moment, until the moment he was about to take the received equipment away.
The equipment is there, but the only thing missing is the baggage company to transport the equipment. The baggage company that is supposed to be distributed does not even have a hair on the mules and horses. To get all this equipment, it depends on the shoulders of the thousands of men of the Independent Regiment.
The portable ones were transported to Guangyuan, hundreds of miles away, and the man was already struggling. Especially the two big ones that weighed almost one ton. When Liu Lang thought of a group of people pulling those things like trackers pulling a boat, he
All a bit messy.
The person who received Liu Lang in the supply camp directly under the division headquarters was an old acquaintance. He came to pick up the company commander of the independent regiment yesterday. His meaning was very clear. Of course he wanted them to help, but of course there was no problem with the remuneration of the personnel who lost the material. Liu Lang calculated it in a mess.
I almost jumped him without drawing my gun.
Only then did Liu Lang know what Mao Ni was? This was Mao Ni.
Without Huang Jie's order, Liu Lang didn't believe that a small captain and company commander dared to settle accounts with a colonel like him in a nonsensical way. This method of making money is so clever! Liu Lang had to obey. According to the military and political department's military order,
All kinds of equipment required by the independent regiment, including military pay and military supplies, were allocated to him at a dime, but the Ministry of Military Affairs did not say that these things must be sent to the countryside! He needs to pay for helping to transport supplies, even if
It's a little too high. Not to mention the Military and Political Department, even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has no way of explaining it to you.
Obviously, since Huang Jie made such an arrangement, he was not afraid of Liu Lang disobeying him. Liu Lang was sure that he could not buy mules and horses even in Huayin, which was eighty miles away.
"Damn it, you're forcing me!" Liu Lang gritted his teeth and cursed in front of the transportation company commander, obviously not intending to give him money.
The captain of the transportation company turned pale as he scolded him. He almost wanted to personally give a few bicycles to this fatter and bolder colonel to haul goods. Damn, if you want to scold the commander, don't do it in front of me! This is not a trap.
me?
Huang Jie, Bai Tianmin and Li Bohua, the three giants of the Second Division, have now finished discussing the military deployment for June and are sitting leisurely in the conference room drinking tea.
"Master, if you don't give him a chariot or a horse, how can Liu Lang scold you behind his back if he can't even point his finger at you?" Li Bohua joked with a smile.
"With that bastard's courage, it is inevitable that he will scold me, but no matter how much he scolds me, he will have to endure it. Unless he doesn't want those two big guys, hey, it's so easy to take advantage of me? How dare you tell me
You're being mean-spirited there." Huang Jie took a sip of tea and sneered.
Without carriages and horses, Liu Lang tried to pull the two 700-kilogram mountain cannons more than a hundred miles away by manpower, but he was exhausted to death.
"Master, I don't think Liu Lang will give in easily. Don't let him make any trouble again." Bai Tianmin shook his head and said.
"What kind of trouble can he pull off? How dare he rebel against me?" Huang Jie said disapprovingly.
Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang", the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a colonel with a beard on his face hurried in.
"What are you doing? Do you still understand the rules? Go out and report before you come back in." Huang Jie put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and said angrily.
Huang Jie has always been rigorous in managing the army. If he hadn't just promoted the commander of the artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters, he would probably have to add the word "get out" before leaving. If there is anything important, let him enter the commander's conference room.
Do you dare not knock on the door?
The rough-looking colonel did not obey the order of his immediate superior and said directly: "Sergeant, independent regiment, transport the mountain cannon away."
"It's been transported away, hasn't it already been given to them?" Huang Jie replied angrily. As soon as the words came out, he couldn't react and said with a straight face: "The mules and horses they were looking for?"
"They didn't use mules and horses, they relied on people. They dismantled the cannon into eleven pieces. Two people carried one piece and took it away." The bearded man said with a look of regret.
Although he doesn't know how to use those two cannons, it doesn't mean that Beard doesn't like it. Seeing the two brand-new cannons being torn into pieces like that, Beard feels distressed! What if the Independent Regiment can't put it back together?
"Will they demolish it?"
"Is Liu Lang so careless? If he can't put it back together, I'll skin him." Huang Jie's face turned green.
"Boom", I heard a loud noise in the distance.
Thunder? Is God punishing some ignorant idiot for us? The Big Three were stunned again.
