Chapter 322: Receiving Armament
Zhang Wei finished speaking, now it is the turn of the madman Qiu to be silent, and he wants to set up a teaching brigade, and he has to think about it.
As for the problem of the ability of grassroots officers mentioned by Zhang Wei, Qiu Maniac, who has drunk foreign ink, will not be unaware, and he has always believed that training is more important than combat, and has written several monographs on military training, such as a series of anthologies on teaching warfare.
"Yes, but I have to report it to the army, wait for the news, and notify you when the order comes down."
The formation of a unit that is not within the establishment must be reported, and only after the approval can the supply and food be guaranteed, otherwise it will be illegal and will not be included in the establishment of the "black army."
"Tomorrow I will go and collect the ordnance first, the soldiers of your battalion have come, you can leave some equipment according to the battalion formation.
"The matter of forming a teaching brigade, since you and Chief Du have also talked about the training of grassroots officers, I think it should be approved, go ahead." Qiu Maniac ended the conversation with a smile.
Zhang Wei said goodbye to Madman Qiu and left the conference room.
Judging from the performance of Qiu Maniac, he was very satisfied with the results of today's conversation, and when he chose to stay, Qiu Maniac's mood was obviously different.
After the arrival, you are also allowed to reserve a part of the equipment after receiving it, which is also considered an invisible benefit.
He is responsible for receiving the equipment, and he allows himself to reserve it, so he can take more when the time comes, anyway, as long as he doesn't take too much, who can see it?
As for the establishment of the teaching brigade, looking at the attitude of the madman Qiu, Zhang Wei felt that there was a door, the madman Qiu was good at training, and he would definitely not reject the establishment of the teaching brigade, if Chief Du agreed, this matter would basically be done.
After the establishment was approved, Zhang Wei would wholeheartedly run his own unit, which integrated combat and teaching.
After the meeting and leaving the conference room, Zhang Wei returned to the construction site, and the camp has been largely completed after several days of intensified construction.
All that is being done now is the finishing touches, the barbed wire fence covering the entire station, and the large amount of dry straw to sleep on the recruits.
The construction of the final section was mainly based on the preparation battalion, supplemented by other units involved in the construction.
In view of the fact that the main project had been completed, Zhang Wei, as the construction commander, ordered the brothers of the preparatory battalion to hand over the work to other troops, and the finishing work was handed over to them, and there was not much work anyway.
Zhang Wei ordered the entire preparation battalion to assemble and rest, and informed Qiu Wei and others that they would go to the military headquarters tomorrow to receive equipment.
The three company commanders are all very happy, receive equipment, take things, who is not happy?
Early the next morning, two automobile companies sent by the automobile regiment directly under the army arrived at the camp gate of the new 22 nd Division on time, and 40 German Opel trucks lined up and stopped in front of the camp gate.
The new 11th Army is the elite of the national army, and the automobile regiment directly under the army is equipped with many large German trucks that were urgently imported before the war.
Zhang Wei decided to lead the first, second and third companies, the three infantry companies to collect, escort, and carry the weapons and equipment needed by the whole division, and the brothers of the heavy machine gun company stayed in the camp.
After dinner in the morning, Zhang Wei drove three unarmed infantry companies to the camp gate and boarded the cars one after another.
The officers and men climbed into the rear compartment, and the car immediately started and drove in the direction of the armory of the newly formed 11th Army.
Zhang Wei, Qiu Wei, and the herald sat in the back compartment of the first car, and the armory of the newly formed 11th Army was near the military headquarters, which was the headquarters of the old 200th Division, and the preparatory battalion was also stationed there for training for a short time.
There's still a bit of a drive to get there.
"Battalion commander, are we receiving the equipment of the whole division this time?"
Qiu Wei, who was sitting in the back compartment, asked.
"That's right, the weapons and equipment of the whole division will be collected and escorted by us, and the recruits have not yet arrived, so the weapons must be prepared first."
Zhang Wei took out the list that Chief Liao gave him yesterday, and he had time to read it carefully yesterday.
"Qiu Wei, some of us are busy this time, I will read to you, there are 3,000 79 Zhongzheng rifles, 260 Czech-style light machine guns, 80 Type 24 heavy machine guns, 25 20-year Type 82 mortars, 150 Type 27 grenadiers, 1,600 bayonets, shell guns, 200 rounds of 20 shots, and the ammunition is not counted."
Zhang Wei is indeed busy with a huge number of weapons and equipment, and the 150 Type 27 grenadiers here have attracted his attention, are they domestic grenadiers?
"I'm afraid I'll have to make a few trips back and forth."
Qiu Wei leaned over and glanced at the list: "Is there ours here?"
"Of course there is, Commander Qiu said, we can reserve our own weapons, that is, we can first move what we deserve according to the number of equipment in a battalion."
When Qiu Wei heard Zhang Wei say this, he nodded with a satisfied expression, and had the same calculation as Zhang Wei in his heart, that is, to take the opportunity to get more when he received the equipment of his battalion.
At present, the new 22 nd Division has a small amount of equipment in its hands, and most of it still has to rely on the newly formed 11 th Army to allocate the most of the weapons and equipment, and the allocated weapons and equipment must meet the needs of the three infantry regiments and one field supplementary regiment of the new 22 nd Division, as well as the units directly under the division.
The newly formed 11th Army has a rich family background, and the Military Commission has supplemented a large amount of equipment, which can be described as a real local tyrant.
The convoy drove to the door of the armory of the newly formed 11th Army, and Zhang Wei asked Qiu Wei to organize the soldiers to get out of the car and form a team.
He went to the door of the armory with the approval slip of the fourth rank, and the commander of the armory was a company of troops, and a cordon was set up outside the warehouse door.
Zhang Wei had a approval, took it and showed it to the guards, and after the guards checked it, they ordered Zhang Wei's troops to be released, in fact, they had received a notice before, and now the inspection of the approval is just a process.
The armory of the newly formed 11th Army is set up near the military headquarters, and there are more than a dozen large and small warehouses to store weapons, ammunition and clothing respectively, and there is another purpose for doing so, that is, once the weapons and ammunition are damaged and exploded, there will be no greater losses due to the martyrdom.
The armory also had a mobile outpost, and at the four corners of the armory there was a towering watchtower with large searchlights for night vigilance.
After Zhang Wei led the troops into the warehouse, an officer from the ordnance department of the military family came to receive and lead Zhang Wei, and it was a chubby captain who received Zhang Wei, leading a squad of warehouse soldiers, leading Zhang Wei into the armory and receiving equipment.
"Sir, did you get the equipment first, or the ammunition first?" The fat captain said with a smile, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Get the equipment first, I'm in trouble."
Under the leadership of the fat captain, Zhang Wei came to the warehouse where the firearms were stored, and the warehouse soldiers opened the two locks of the warehouse door, and the firearms warehouse was presented in front of Zhang Wei, and a smell of oil and wood mixed came from the surface.
The fat captain covered his nose: "Sir, go in and move, let's check it after we finish moving." ”
"Yes, brethren! Go in and have a look!"
Zhang Wei was the first to walk into the warehouse, which was full of boxes, piled up several meters high.
There are also a large number of small gasoline drums around, and the smell of oil in the warehouse comes from here, which are all matching gun oils.
All weapons are stacked in boxes with various signs on the outside.
Although the new 11th Army is called the Soviet Army, the infantry weapons are actually mainly national equipment, and there are very few Soviet infantry weapons, and more Soviet weapons are tanks and artillery.
Most of the boxes of Zhongzheng rifles are the logo of the Gongxian Arsenal, and the domestic Czech light machine gun is simply marked with "79 Czech light machine guns" on the outside of the box.
A domestically produced 20-year-old Type 82 mortar was loaded with gun carriages and sights, neatly lined aside, and there were more mortars, lying in unopened boxes.
