The Sichuan Army troops came, but they were not the clone troops, the Sichuan Army troops, and the Northeast Army troops led by He Feiyang himself, but the Sichuan Army troops who had just got off the transport ship dispatched by Commander Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang's 21st Army is the most wealthy of all Sichuan troops, because each company of his troops is equipped with 2-3 Czech light machine guns, 4 imitation Thompson submachine guns, and each battalion is equipped with 4 Sichuan-made mortars.
gun.
The Sichuan Army's mortars include 47mm, 82.5mm, and 137mm mortars respectively. Of course, these are all produced by Commander Liu Xiang's own arsenal.
Although the equipment of Commander Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army is not as good as that of the Central Army's main elite troops and German weapon division troops, it is much more powerful than the weapons and equipment of the local factions' troops.
Commander Liu Xiang had already established a weapons repair shop in Chengdu in 1929, with almost over a hundred arsenal employees, 8 weapons and equipment manufacturing machines, and complete production lines. He even later established
Specialized bullet factory.
From 1929 to 1939, this factory produced a total of more than 5,000 submachine guns.
As for the total number of 47mm, 82.5mm, and 137mm mortars, there are almost 4,000, but there are less than 20 137mm short-barreled guns, almost 3,000 Czech light machine guns, and almost 30,000 rifles.
There are more than 600,000 artillery shells, more than 400,000 grenades, and thousands of aerial bombs.
The monthly output of ammunition exceeds 2 million rounds.
Even in the end, Liu Xiang teamed up with the privately-owned Huaxing Machinery Factory to imitate the French Czech-style Czech light machine gun and increase production.
Therefore, the Sichuan Army troops sent by Commander Liu Xiang to fight here in the capital Nanjing this time are richer and richer than all the troops of the Sichuan Army factions.
Imitation Czech light machine guns, imitation Thompson submachine guns, and Sichuan-made mortars are all configured.
Of course, the Louis heavy machine guns purchased from the UK also have configurations.
Therefore, the weapons and equipment of such an elite Sichuan army are completely better than those directly under the army and the divisions and brigades, which do not have cavalry and artillery.
In addition to a mortar company in each infantry regiment, it is better for the Sichuan army to have one field gun or mountain gun in the entire army, as well as no anti-aircraft weapons or anti-tank weapons.
Especially compared to those poor Sichuan troops whose even light and heavy machine guns and rifles are made in Sichuan, have very short shooting distances, extremely poor accuracy, and are prone to malfunctions, this is even more brutal.
For example, Deng and Tian commanded the Sichuan troops of the 22nd Army.
Even the Sichuan troops who went to Yan Laoxi's side were equally poor. Most of their soldiers only had a single piece of clothing, a pair of straw sandals, and a rifle with less than 30 rounds of ammunition and barely enough 3 grenades.
Even many regiments only use cold weapons such as swords or spears to fight. As for heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery, they are rare items that can only be found in dreams.
Even some inferior Sichuan troops did not have a heavy machine gun or a mortar in their entire regiment.
For example, the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army in the TV series "The Warriors Come Out of Sichuan" and "The Sichuan Army Fights to the End", and the Sichuan Army's independent regiment headed by Li Deming, are such Sichuan Army units with inferior weapons and equipment.
"Well! These aren't the Sichuan troops that He Xiaoyang is commanding, are they? Although the weapons and equipment are better and more sophisticated than those of ordinary local troops, and you can even see submachine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars, but I don't feel like they are.
That He Feiyang’s army, at least I didn’t see that He Feiyang in the army!”
"I've seen his appearance in major newspapers many times! So I know what he looks like!"
Regarding Commander Liu Xiang’s troops who had just arrived in Nanjing, the capital, by boat,
Commander Wang was the first to discover the abnormality and said to Commander Yu next to him.
"Yes, I saw it too. What is going on? What is Commander Tang doing?"
"He won't give us other Sichuan Army troops, just come and say it's the Sichuan Army troops under He Feiyang's command!"
After seeing that the Sichuan Army troops in front of them were a little different from the battlefield photos they had seen in newspapers, Commander Yu nodded, indicating that he had also seen the problem.
"Let's go over and communicate with these officers headed by the Sichuan Army first to see what the situation is before we negotiate with Commander Tang!"
"So I really don't think highly of this guy as the commander-in-chief of the capital!"
Teacher Wang continued to suggest.
"Okay! Let's walk over and ask! I'll listen!"
Commander Yu nodded again and agreed.
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement,
Then, he took the lead and walked towards the Sichuan Army troops led by Commander Liu Xiang, looking for the Sichuan Army commander at the head.
Behind him were Commander Yu and a group of guards.
Soon, Commander Wang found the Sichuan Army commander he was looking for.
This person’s name is Chen Hua,
"Hello, sir!"
"I am Chen Hua, the deputy commander of the Independent Strengthening Regiment sent by Commander Liu Xiang, who is under the command of Commander He Feiyang to fight against Japan!"
As soon as he saw the arrival of Commander Wang and Commander Yu, who were higher in rank than him, Chen Hua immediately gave a military salute.
"We are part of the 74th Army, I am the commander of the 51st Division, and he is our Commander Yu!"
Commander Wang also responded politely with a military salute and briefly introduced himself.
Especially when he heard that the other party belonged to He Feiyang's subordinate troops, his tone became more friendly.
He even had a kind smile.
Of course, Commander Yu also smiled slightly and expressed satisfaction after hearing that it was He Feiyang's Sichuan Army troops.
"Where is your commander He? Why isn't he with you?"
However, Mr. Wang still asked about his doubts.
"Report! Sir!"
"We are the second batch of troops dispatched by Commander Liu Xiang from Sichuan to fight in Sichuan. We have just arrived at the capital by boat. We have not been in the capital city for long. When we got off the boat, we were greeted by Commander Tang who was waiting for us at the port.
The guard brought an order for us to come to the Niushou Mountain area immediately to assist your 74th Army in defensive operations!"
"And we were asked to wait here for our Commander He's troops. As for why Commander Tang mobilized and deployed like this, we don't know anything about it, because we are all newcomers and don't even have time to rest!"
"We haven't even had lunch yet! We rushed here in a hurry to report to you, sir!"
Chen Hua responded loudly.
"What! That bastard Commander Tang! How could he treat the anti-Japanese heroic troops like this?"
"You don't even have time to rest? You haven't even had lunch yet?"
Upon hearing this, before Commander Wang could reply, Commander Yu who was behind him immediately became unhappy and cursed Commander Tang.
Because he really didn't like Commander Tang, who was so steadfast that he might not necessarily defend the capital Nanjing and fight to the death with the Japanese troops in the end.
And it was also because the opponent had to hold on to the capital until death, so the 74th Army under his command was forced to stay in Nanjing, the capital, to defend the city with the teaching corps and the remaining troops of the German Arms Division, without being able to
Go to the rear to rest and resupply.
So he really didn't like Commander Tang at all, so he couldn't help but cursed.
"."
Mr. Wang.
He felt that Commander Yu really disliked Commander Tang more and more.
