Chapter 169 Armed Class B Division
,
spn
Kunming, Xishan, the Xishan official residence of Zhang Shusheng, the supreme leader of the Southwest United Autonomous Government, has a pleasant scenery, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with natural springs flowing through it in the form of streams, no high-rise buildings, and a Su-style forest garden style, with pavilions and pavilions everywhere.
, although there are no ancient buildings, the architectural design style is also based on nature, which is very suitable for cultivating one's health. The green and rare plants that can be seen everywhere also make this place unique.
Zhang Shusheng built this place with his own money, not to enjoy luxury. After his power and status rose to a certain level, he needed a restful environment to reflect on himself. You must know that he was not a politician who came to power through political strife, but
A so-called 'peasant politician' who made his fortune from scratch through his hard work.
When he deals with some major national issues, he must not be as oriented as those real politicians who are based on political struggle, but should be based on an absolutely clear mind and the development of the entire nation.
With the capabilities of today's Dream Machine, Zhang Shusheng would not be the supreme commander, but go to the sea to circle a small island and become a high-tech island owner. He would be more relaxed and comfortable than anyone else.[
Unfortunately, that is not the life he wants. He likes to be free and comfortable, but he does not want to be far away from this nation and these compatriots who are still struggling in the sea of suffering. He likes that the sky is high and the sea is vast, but he does not want to leave this country even for a moment. This is also
The reason why he has never visited foreign countries in recent years and never accepted invitations from foreign leaders.
When people reach a certain height, they will develop some obsessions. Some people are obsessed with the rights of Long Live, but Zhang Shusheng found that he began to be obsessed with his petty personality. In He Ning's words, this is a good thing, and it is better than being a person.
The tyrant is strong.
The guard force of Xishan Official Residence is extremely strong. In addition to the mysterious commander's guard at the innermost place, 500 meters away from here is the most elite Dragon Guard Squadron of the Longya Special Forces Brigade, and more than a kilometer away is the Central Guard Stationed
A regiment of troops.
Further outside, there is a veteran regiment of the Guards Division (which does not participate in military combat missions). Some veterans with strong combat skills are unwilling to leave the army after retirement. They chose to pass the assessment to enter this veteran regiment and defend Zhang Shusheng to the death for their veterans.
The regimental commander stood at the last post until he finally had to be transferred to the second line of the army.
These seemingly conventional military forces actually hide many secret weapons that are unknown to outsiders. For example, automatic defense machines hidden in the dark and controlled by Zhang Shusheng and his most trusted guards can easily eliminate medium- and large-scale air raids.
Anti-aircraft weapons, of course, there are even some weapons that are far ahead of this era.
In this day and age, no place where people live is safer than here.
Early in the morning, Zhang Shusheng broke away from the arms of the two women and got up. He practiced boxing and kicking for a while in the underground training room. He knocked several sparring robots to the ground and then let them repair themselves. After the fire was scattered, they were allowed to repair themselves.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he felt refreshed and informed the security office.
The guards are also used to the leader getting up early. They guard the supreme leader's residence 24 hours a day, so they know the schedule of the respected supreme leader best. Going to bed late and getting up early is his usual style, but every Sunday
, he would stay in bed like a child, and then get up under the constant harassment of the two chief wives.
"salute"
At 6:30 in the morning, under the protection of security guards, Zhang Shusheng went to the seat of the Southwest Joint Administrative Government not far from here.
"Commander, this is the information you need to review."
Mr. Mao Yun gets up earlier than Zhang Shusheng every day. This secretary to the general manager is not young anymore. He has already reached the age to talk about marriage, but he has been alone all the time. The colleagues in the office center are worried about him and think that it can't be done. Please help.
Let me introduce one.
As a result, during a blind date with a secretary from the Ministry of Education, Mao Yunxian ran away halfway because of a not-so-urgent job. Zhang Shusheng ridiculed him afterwards. His explanation was that he was not ready to start a family, so he might as well take advantage of the opportunity.
Stay young and do more for this country.
Only Zhang Shusheng understood that his confidential secretary only slept about three or four hours a day, assisting Lu Yunyan in managing the secretariat and handling confidential documents that were almost never finished.
Zhang Shusheng gestured to him to take a cup of soy milk and two mushroom and vegetable buns from his breakfast to fill his stomach before working. "Mr. Yun, although work is the most important, your body is equally important. Next time I will listen to your secretary
If you are too busy to even take care of breakfast, I will give you a few days off."
"Haha, that's Secretary-General Lu caring about his subordinates. Thank you, Chief, I will take care of myself." Mao Yunxian couldn't see that the entire southwest was in a state of high-efficiency fighting, not to mention the highest "government" departments, including the township departments.
, the work is all worked overtime and completed with 120% energy, not to mention that he, the confidential secretary of the supreme commander, how dare he slack off even half a minute? The commander-in-chief eats breakfast while reading documents every day, does he still have to spare time to enjoy it?
This kind of luxury?
Picking up a shiitake mushroom bun, Zhang Shusheng opened the first document he had to read.
This is the latest status report of the Tianjin-Beijing battle.
Judging from the battle report, China's Beijing-Tianjin Battle Corps had just repelled an attack by the Japanese army. At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army used one division on the right wing of the new defense line in Peiping to launch an attack on the positions defended by two second-class divisions.
A violent sudden attack.[
These two second-class divisions were Song Zheyuan's troops. They had barely repelled several attacks by a Japanese brigade that day. They suffered heavy losses in firearms and ammunition and suffered heavy casualties.
As a result, these two second-class divisions were attacked sharply by the Japanese army and lost two positions in succession. Finally, with the support of the two regiments of the Southwest Third Division, they were able to repel the Japanese army.
At this time, after the test of war, the difference in the combat effectiveness of the various levels of the Kuomintang army became obvious.
The Central Elite Division has the strongest combat effectiveness. It can basically have 10,000 to 12,000 men when it is not fully staffed. One and a half Central Divisions can barely defend the attack of a Japanese division if they have a firm will to fight. Two to three
A central division can rely on its position to resist the fierce attack of a Japanese division. (The number of the main division of the Japanese army is about 20,000 to 22,000. Of course, it is not only combat troops, but also support troops. The establishment of the Kuomintang army at all levels
There are fewer support troops inside.)
As for the reorganized first-class divisions, two divisions can hold their positions, and only three to four first-class divisions can rely on their positions to withstand the fierce attack of one division.
The combat effectiveness of the second-class division is very embarrassing. There is no generous central government priority allocation, no reorganization and refining sequence, and even insufficient personnel. It is already very difficult for a division to have 6 to 8,000 people. And the equipment is even more difficult.
They are inferior. There are only a few old-fashioned cannons. Many of them were bought by the original local warlords with their own money. The rifles were made from Hanyang to Shenyang. Four or five models of rifles can be found in a division.
In the previous warlord wars, you had to collect several types of weapons before fighting, and then fight while capturing them. Every time you fought, the time spent fighting was far less than the time spent running away or cowering.
As a result, combat effectiveness is extremely low.
Judging from the report, Zhang Shusheng was a little surprised. The second-class divisions that participated in the Tianjin-Beijing battle, including those of Song Zheyuan and Han Fuqu, were actually not bad at fighting, at least much stronger than during the warlord civil war.
Some veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years actually have the guts to hold grenades and die together with the enemy. I don’t know if it is the main force who fought so badly that stimulated the bearish heart of these people who had been dormant for many years.
Their patriotic enthusiasm. In short, although these troops were poorly equipped, they did not show signs of large-scale surrender or escape. Instead, under the constraints and strict orders of Song Zheyuan and others, they actively fought, picking up Japanese guns and medicine while fighting.
” to use, even many soldiers of the second-class division were equipped with a big knife for hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.
These second-class divisions are the most pitiful. The Nanjing National Government's supplies are given priority to the Central Elite Division and the first-class division. If there are excess, they will be replenished according to the situation. Song Zheyuan took Han Fuqu, and the two of them ran on Chen Cheng's military headquarters.
They almost ran out of money. In the end, each of them got more than 2,000 38-shaped caps and some throwing tubes. These were the Japanese weapons and equipment that Chen Cheng had seized in Langfang.
"Bang"
Seeing this, Zhang Shusheng slammed his fist on the table. He was so angry that he wanted to explode but couldn't find a place to vent. Blame it on Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek did his best. No matter how he was in the past, he is now serious about resisting Japan.
, the inability to supply the second-class division is indeed because the Nanjing National Government is too strapped. It is impossible to blame Song Zheyuan and Han Fuqu. They were both local warlords. It is not easy to pull up the troops and go to the battlefield. You have to insist.
So-and-so may have lost money on military expenditures, but now that they are on the battlefield, what they have eaten cannot buy a division's worth of equipment.
In a word, it is not anyone’s fault, but that the entire nation is too backward, and coupled with annual melees, productivity has dropped to a shameful level. In the end, these anti-Japanese soldiers can only use the most backward weapons and fight with their blood.
Add a sword to stop the Japanese army.
Zhang Shusheng felt that he must do something, no matter what.
"Let Director Zhou Duanzheng from the Logistics Department come over." Putting down the documents, Zhang Shusheng picked up the phone and asked his secretary to call Zhou Duanzheng from the Logistics Department.
From time to time, Zhou Duanzheng came to the office.
"Report."
"Come in."
Zhang Shusheng just made some calculations. If he wants to change the equipment level of these second-class divisions, Southwest can still do it. It just depends on whether he should do it or not. He is pretending to be aloof. Standing at the level of a politician, he is not one of his own people.
Regardless of his attitude of death. We should put the country and the people first, and the anti-Japanese war. Support these troops who have been issued in limited quantities, so that they can reduce casualties and save the parents who are looking forward to their children returning home.
Fewer children will die, and fewer white-haired people will give away black-haired people.
Zhang Shusheng feels that there is no need to hesitate. He is not a successful politician, but he must be a leader that is beneficial to the nation. If he is a dirty politician, what is the difference between himself and those so-called Long Live?
"First take a look at this battlefield report just sent back from the front line."
"Yes, Chief."
Zhou Duanzheng's forehead was covered with sweat. As the Minister of Logistics, the only thing related to him on the battlefield was logistics supplies. Seeing the commander calmly handing him a battle report from the front line, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Could it be?
Is there a problem with logistics and supply? Or is there a quality problem with weapons and equipment? [
As the logistics manager of the entire Southwest Army, his position is not prestigious, but it is definitely one of the most difficult to handle. In all aspects, even if there is a problem, it will affect the overall situation.
When he got the battle report, he didn't expect it to be about the battle report of the Kuomintang army. This made him vaguely guess that people who can reach this position are not mediocre. Judging from the commander-in-chief's intention, he should think of something from the southwest.
The solution was found, "Commander, judging from the battle reports, the Kuomintang's second-class division is indeed poorly equipped, which resulted in many undue casualties."
"Well, since the Opium War, we Chinese have suffered enough from backward weapons. From swords and spears, to buying foreign guns and cannons at high prices, to the Westernization Movement, running industries at a loss. In the end, many people still
Realizing the huge crisis brought about by backward weapons and a backward country." Zhang Shusheng pointed to the battle report in Zhou Duanzheng's hand, "Judging from the battle report, several divisions of Song Zheyuan and Han Fuqu fought very hard, and there were even cases where they were not able to fight in the middle of the battle.
Sorry, the soldiers were holding swords and fighting with the Japanese with bayonets. Although we and the Kuomintang have different political stances, we are both Chinese and descendants of the Yan and Huang people. We cannot watch these people die in vain. At least, we must
Give them the minimum fighting conditions."
"What the commander-in-chief means is that if Chiang Kai-shek has no time to supply them, we will supply them?" Zhou Duanzheng also nodded. The commander-in-chief is right. From a political point of view, the more Kuomintang troops die, this is called weakening the enemy, but
From a Chinese perspective, it is absolutely wrong to sit on the sidelines.
What Zhou Duanzheng didn't know was that Zhang Shusheng felt more deeply about the large number of casualties caused by backward weapons. We must know that in later generations, in the original history, some armies fought with millet and rifles, and the conditions were also very difficult.
"Our southwest has established a strategic reserve system from the beginning. As far as I know, some secondary reserve bases have a considerable number of Huaxia Type-1 rifles in reserve." Zhang Shusheng asked.
"Yes, Commander. From the beginning, we have implemented your instructions on strategic reserves. In addition to selling some obsolete equipment to some friendly countries according to the special document issued by the General Commander's office, our reserves have always been based on
The strictest regulations are enforced. In these years, there has not been a single accident.
Last month, the headquarters ordered the allocation of a batch of weapons to arm the grassroots militia in Sichuan. When I checked the inventory, I found that the reserve of Huaxia Type-1 rifles was about 50,000. Most of these guns were acquired from the garrison division in recent years.
Those that have been gradually replaced are in good condition, and the advanced technology stored in storage is enough to ensure the normal use of this rifle. As for weapons, the old Huaxia Type 1 rifles are even more numerous."
Zhang Shusheng nodded. These weapons were originally reserved for future militia forces or for training reserve forces. Now these more than 50,000 extra rifles have found a use.
"You make arrangements to send several divisions of rifles and medicine to Major General Chen Jun in Peiping. I will let him arrange the delivery."
"Commander, weapons and medicine are not a problem. If you add more manpower, all the guns and medicine can be shipped out of the warehouse within a day. But now all the transport aircraft in the southwest are used to support the northward operations of the four divisions, which is already very tight.
, and the military department is currently considering arranging to transport a batch of light armored vehicles northward."
Zhang Shusheng shook his head and said, "What are the specifics? Come up with a way to transport it by plane or by land. I only want one result. The weapons must be transported to Peking."
Chapter completed!
