Chapter 55 Difficulties

Since it can't be used as the main battle equipment, it can always be used for training, right? Always love to work out, you can just train your own logistics repair and support personnel, because the main battle of the mechanized forces depends on the efficiency of the logistics and support personnel. For example, in the historical North African battlefield, the German armored forces commanded by Rommel rely on superb maintenance technology and powerful logistics support, which is inferior. The force is so powerful that the British army often complains that the German tanks killed by themselves can always be resurrected in time!

Zhang Xuewu was also forced to be helpless. Who let his country's overall industrial level lag behind? The idea of buying weapons has been deeply rooted in Zhang Xuewu's mind, but how to buy them? Where do the funds come from? In terms of how to guarantee, Zhang Xuewu is still at a loss. In the face of the Japanese army gathering in Jinzhou, Zhang Xuewu has realized that there is not much time left for him. The Rehe First Battle is related to the overall situation of the domestic anti-Japanese war in the future. It can be said that he launched his whole body, and Zhang Xuewu can't help but be cautious.

Due to the care of Minister He, the normal approval of the equipment took a month or more to be issued, but it arrived in Tianjin within a week. As soon as the convoy entered the camp, Zhang Xuewu couldn't wait to open the box, because at this time, the classic 98K in the Mauser rifle had not yet been equipped with the German army, issued by the military and political department. This batch of rifles is most likely the standard rifles purchased through River Ocean in the 19th year of the Republic of China.

After opening the gun box sealed by the lead strip, Zhang Xuewu ignored the yellow glycerin in the box and picked up a gun and pulled it away with a spin. It was indeed a brand-new Mauser standard rifle. Zhang Xuewu remembered that Mauser launched a standard Mauser rifle at the end of 1924, hoping to replace the German distribution. The Type 98 rifle, which is an improved version of the Type 98 rifle. On the basis of the Gew.98 rifle, the barrel is shortened to 600 mm to about 23.6 inches, and the length of the full gun is shortened from 1.25 meters to 1.11 meters of Gew98. A new sight is adopted. The name of the standard model is because the barrel length is 60 cm for infantry and cavalry. In fact, the standard model has not been paid great attention to by the German [***] side. It is almost unknown in Germany. By chance, the middle [***] side, which sought to buy arms, became the largest user of the standard rifle. After that, the Mauser Brothers Machinery Company also sold the whole set of drawings to China. During the Anti-Japanese War, The official rifle or the so-called 79 rifle is a domestically produced standard rifle!

The weapons and personnel are basically full of personnel, and the morale of the new first division is high. In addition to the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and the mechanized regiment, the three infantry regiments and artillery regiments under the division have a certain combat effectiveness.

Although October in Beiping City was cool and warm, the first comprehensive drill of the new first division of the National Revolutionary Army after the reorganization also kicked off. The evil neighbor finally left, and the Japanese squadron stationed in Jinghai was also really relieved, because of the shouting and explosion in the middle of the night next door. Make them creepy.

The military commander, Shotaro Kobayashi, also saw for the first time that there were troops in the world who carried out on-site blasting training on their own field? Do you often fire live mortars from the west of the field to the east? Do you use live ammunition to train soldiers' tactics? The station in the middle [***] is higher than that of the Japanese army, so the Japanese army can always enjoy the thrill of the flowing warhead of the Maxine heavy machine gun.

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

In the end, even Counselor Yamamoto of the consulate was impatient and angry, because Zhang Xuewu was not afraid of any protest at all. He was a guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and even had an armed conflict with the garrison. Counselor Yamamoto asked Shotaro Kobayashi to report directly to the military headquarters or go to despicable China. People go to fight!

Obviously, neither of these is the choice of Shotaro Kobayashi. He will retire in a few months. He took the retirement subsidy back to Hokkaido to buy a fishing boat and live a stable and happy life. Looking at the empty camp of the new first division, Major Shotaro Kobayashi almost had tears in his eyes. He was not a doorman warrior, nor was he It's the young people of the Kwantung Army who were burned by fanaticism. Shotaro Kobayashi is an ordinary person. He is the eldest son in the family. The purpose of joining the army was to eat less than one mouth in the family. As for loyalty to the emperor? In the view of Shotaro Kobayashi, it should be something that has been favored by the emperor.

The cold wind in October made Zhang Xuewu involuntarily tighten his neckline. In his previous life, he went to the drill ground in Aohan Aobao many times to participate in the actual military confrontation. Even if it snowed on the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was not a surprise. Thanks to his early preparation, all troops carried enough cotton tents and cotton clothes.

Wearing a light green Central Army cotton-padded coat, but wearing a fur hat with the characteristics of the Northeast Army? The troops of the new First Division, wearing thick gloves and khaki sheets, rolled forward. The cavalry battalion directly under the division played the role of incoming 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 new first division are almost all Zhang Xuewu's IOUs owed from the Beiping Army Branch, which has a lot of face.

But Zhang Xuewu's behavior made Hao Wenbin a little inaccurate, cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes, cotton tents? Is it possible that Zhang Xuewu really plans to spend the winter in this hot river where birds don't shit? In connection with the recent abnormal actions of Nanjing, even the weapons that were supposed to be distributed in Nanchang were distributed. This is likely to be related to several recent statements of the Japanese army. I'm afraid that the new first division entering Rehe is also the central government's determination to protect the hot river to Beiping, right?

The 1st Infantry Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the Artillery Regiment and the direct division have arrived at Chengde Women's Middle School. Zhang Xuewu frowned and looked at the watch and asked, "Where is the mechanized regiment that started together now?"

Several staff officers on the side looked at each other without saying anything. Zhang Xuewu looked back at the expressions of the staffmen and strode to the radio station just set up and said, "Call the chief of staff immediately, every five minutes!"

Li Wensheng, the deputy director of the secret room in charge of the radio station, said with a bitter face, "Master, the director of the secret room sent 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.

"A clear telegram?" Zhang Xuewu couldn't help touching the holster, which scared Li Wensheng to take a step back. Zhang Xuewu snorted heavily and said, "Who is so big? I have finished reorganization and the army has been discharged. Is a small secret power director not in office yet? Immediately generate electricity for the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and don't want such a secret electricity director!"

Hao Wenbin saw that Zhang Xuewu was really angry, so he persuaded him, "Don't worry. You all know that the mechanized group is your sweetheart. There is Chief Li in the town. Isn't it hurtful?"

Zhang Xuewu looked around for a week and said, "This is a girls' middle school. The school has not been closed yet. All the tents of our troops are extended to the wasteland by the west wall. The defense area of the camp is planned. Before the materials are in place, the gendarmerie are sent to patrol. The regiments dig field fortifications on the spot, build tents, and repeatedly declare military discipline to the regiments. Question, here is a women's school, which should pay special attention to the impact. Those with poor military appearance are 50 military sticks, and those who damage the image of revolutionary soldiers will not be tolerated on the spot!"

After Zhang Xuewu left angrily, Hao Wenbin felt a cool feeling on his back, and he thought that this was really a model of kindness! It's really decisive. I'd better pay more attention in the future. It's not a joke to bump into this one.

Tang Yulin looked at the back of Zhang Xuewu's departure. It was difficult for him to imagine that the sentry in the middle of the night covered the officers and soldiers with quilts, visited the company camp to check the food, and even helped the soldiers write letters. The military pay was not deducted, and the officers and soldiers said the good division!
