The relevant orders were issued, and Xiao Lamei also took Bai Shujie's instructions to check the training of the supplementary brigade, so Bai Shujie transferred to Zhao Jinxi's office.

The office of the two of them was actually next door, but Bai Shujie never went in. Because if there is anything, someone else will report it to him.

Seeing Bai Shujie pacing in with his hands in his hands, Zhao Jinxi, who was sitting next to the stove reading the information, raised his head and was suddenly a little surprised: "Now the snow outside has not melted, and the sun has not come out, and it is impossible for it to come out from the west, but why did you come to me?" ”

Bai Shujie dragged a chair to the stove and said with a smile: "Isn't this what you want to come over and care about?" ”

"You're going to it!" Zhao Jinxi smiled and said, "It's definitely nothing good for you to suddenly appear here with me." Say, which nerve is wrong? ”

Bai Shujie's face was straight, and then he said sternly: "The little devil launched a military coup d'état not long ago, and the consequences of the military controlling the government and government, I have already told you about this. I have talked many times about the dangers of militarism. Now, the first division of the little devils has come out of Tokyo, and the 19th division is intensively mobilized, and you have read all the information. ”

"Although there is no movement in our vicinity at the moment, it does not mean that the little devil has forgotten our side. On the contrary, I always feel like a brief calm before a storm. The meaning of looking for you today is to remind you of it. Once the little devil makes a move, the sky will inevitably fall apart! ”

Zhao Jinxi nodded: "I was just watching the comprehensive analysis of the enemy situation compiled by Wang Xinlan and them, the little devil is actually not idle, and it seems that he is in full swing preparing some huge plan." Oh, by the way, this telegram was sent by Big Brother Zhang Xiang, and it was not sent to you because it has not been finally confirmed. ”

Bai Shujie took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a report on the enemy situation from Jinzhou: "According to our reconnaissance, the Japanese Fourth Division has begun to land in Jinzhou, and the Eighth Division and the troops originally deployed here are gradually being transferred to the defense area and have begun to evacuate. The details are being finalized. Zhang. ”

Bai Shujie said to Zhao Jinxi casually: "No need to implement it, this news is true." The return of the 8th Division to make up for it was all expected. The 33rd Brigade originally belonged to the 10th Division, and now it is normal to go back and rebuild. ”

But he said in his heart: "Fortunately, the trajectory of history is not too far away, but it has advanced things a little." ”

Zhao Jinxi saw that Bai Shujie was indifferent, and felt a little strange in his heart: "I see that you seem to have noticed it a long time ago, and that is really a god." In that case, what are you worried about? ”

"Hehe, I mean, the little devil is sharpening his knife, and we can't be idle, can we?" Bai Shujie seemed to have taken a reassuring pill Yes, his mood suddenly improved a lot: "Last time, you were asked to use the method of stealing beams and changing pillars, and gave Wei Chong and Zhang Er a few heavy cannons to pass, are they all in place?" ”

Zhao Jinxi nodded: "Wei Chong sent 4 Type 92 105mm field cannons over there, and Zhang Er was stunned that it belonged to the mountainous area, so he only sent 2 guns." Each of the 8 heavy guns was equipped with 72 shells. However, in order to make up for the lack of firepower, I equipped Wei Chong with 8 Type 90 75mm field guns, and Zhang Ershuang and Zhao Sanbao with 12 guns each. ”

After a pause, Zhao Jinxi was still a little confused: "I really don't understand, Zhang Er was stunned by the establishment of a regiment, and you actually equipped him with a mountain artillery battalion and a field artillery battalion, do you want Zhang Er to change his career to be the commander of the artillery regiment?" Also, Zhao Sanbao and Ling Kaishan's Zhangfang Independent Regiment, you also have a field artillery battalion, what do you want to do? ”

"Jin Xi, tell you the truth, I always feel that sooner or later the little devils will do something to North China." Bai Shujie couldn't say it clearly, so he could only say vaguely: "Wei Chong's Rao'an Independent Division needs an artillery regiment, because his side is all plains. Zhang Erstun's Fangshan Independent Regiment and Zhao Sanbao's Zhangfang Independent Regiment will also be combined into independent divisions to prepare for contingencies at the end of this year. ”

"I don't care, these belongings are yours anyway, you can do whatever you want." Zhao Jinxi was a little absent-minded: "The artillery regiments of each division here have been established, which are composed of 75mm field artillery battalions, 75mm mountain artillery battalions, reconnaissance and air defense battalions, and logistics support battalions. The regiment had 3,200 people, 18 field artillery pieces and 18 mountain artillery pieces. ”

"At present, the five divisions of the Front Army and the three divisions of the Garrison Command are already in four or four formations, with more than 14,000 people in each division. Together with the two heavy artillery regiments directly under the command, that is, excluding separate units behind enemy lines, it is now 120,000 regular troops. If you want to pull out to fight field battles and increase the number of engineers, support, and medical troops, one division will have 22,000 people, which is equal to a division of the little devils. ”

Bai Shujie nodded, stood up, turned his hands behind his back and began to circle around the stove, and turned around three times before saying, "According to what you just said, two-thirds of the 75mm guns in our inventory have been used up, isn't it?" ”

"Not really!" Zhao Jinxi said: "You gave us Miss Zhang Yushu's Xiuyan Independent Regiment an artillery battalion, and Chen Jie's South Manchurian Independent Division an artillery regiment, and now there is a third left." ”

"Enough, enough!" Bai Shujie hit his left palm with his right fist, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Last time I discussed with you to improve the traction method of 75mm field artillery and mountain artillery, how is it progressing now?" ”

"Actually, it's not too difficult to improve, the little devil is too mechanical!" Zhao Jinxi nodded: "The stability of the artillery firing is nothing more than the problem of counterweight support in the back. I have already calculated that the use of independent counterweight supports without the use of open foot supports can meet the requirements, as long as the jacks are installed on both sides of the front bearing. ”

"With independent counterweight support and a traction steering wheel under the support point, it can be turned into horse traction without the need for a truck at all. Wei Chong and Zhang Erdu's Type 92 105mm field cannon over there, I just used to add a traction guide wheel, and then pulled it over with a horse. ”

Bai Shujie was a little surprised: "Can the Type 92 105mm field cannon also be pulled away by horses?" ”

"Why not?" Zhao Jinxi raised his head and said: "The little devil doesn't know for what reason, the bearing of the gun wheel has never been improved. In fact, they can produce cars, can't they just use car bearings? Of course, when launching, be sure to use a jack to jack up the bearing and add a backing plate, so as not to shock the bearing and tires. ”

"To transport a Type 92 105mm field cannon and be able to fight alone at any time, you need at least 3 pull-backs and 6 pack horses. The point is that 31 pounds of shells is too heavy, and one pack horse can carry 4 shells. Six pack horses carried 24 shells, barely enough to support a battle. ”

"So what does it matter?" Bai Shujie danced excitedly: "Lao Tzu has 70 people in a platoon, isn't it okay to be responsible for transporting two cannons?" 35 people, even if they carry it, they will take the fort away! I calculated, one cannon has 10 horses, and 24 cannons are 12 platoons and 240 horses. In addition, there is a special support battalion, which is a fucking artillery regiment! ”

"Lao Tzu wants to form an artillery division!" Bai Shujie dragged the chair to Zhao Jinxi's side and whispered: "There are no big battles going on recently, so you have to bother more, change the remaining 75mm field artillery and mountain artillery traction methods to the horse-drawn method, and form two field artillery battalions, two mountain artillery battalions respectively, and then form a 92-type 105mm cannon regiment!" Lao Tzu wants to pull this artillery division out and teach the little devil a good lesson! ”

"Hmph, half a year ago, you asked me to figure out how to tow the cannon, and I knew you didn't want to nest at home!" Zhao Jin said coquettishly: "If the mobile artillery division is formed this time, I must go out with you!" Don't think about leaving me alone at home again, you're out there and having fun! ”

"Alas, it's not that easy, it's not that easy!" Bai Shujie patted Zhao Jinxi on the shoulder and said, "I'm not worried about you, but I'm worried that others may not agree with my idea." I've had an idea for the last year. But now the conditions are not ripe, so we can only prepare slowly. ”

"I've already asked Lamei to check on the situation of the supplementary brigade, so I can tell you some of my basic ideas in advance. I am ready to form another unit, which is not part of the Rehe Front, nor part of the garrison command. This army needs to be composed of two field divisions and an artillery division, with a total of about 50,000 people, and a division that can eat the little devils alone. ”

Zhao Jinxi nodded: "No matter what you want to do, I will always be by your side." I'll do this, when do you need this force to form combat effectiveness? ”

"It's February 10, 1936, and time flies!" Bai Shujie wrenched his fingers and calculated: "I'll give you a year to form this unit, except for artillery, all other light and heavy weapons use the latest equipment." To tell you the truth, the new equipment I have developed is for this unit, and I will not equip other troops. ”

Zhao Jinxi smiled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be more than 80,000 people in the current supplementary brigade." If I take out 60,000 of them to form three divisions, then Gan Tong's next recruitment task will be tense. ”

"Jin Xi, you must remember to make a few requirements clear to everyone." Bai Shujie said thoughtfully: "First, you can't want your parents if you're still alive; Second, those who have a home here cannot ask for it; Third, tell everyone directly, once they enter this unit, I can't guarantee that they will come back! No, I shouldn't be able to come back for the rest of my life! ”

"I remember, you can rest assured!" Zhao Jinxi saw that Bai Shujie's face was getting more and more gloomy, and he was a little reluctant in his heart: "Big brother, you don't have to think too much." A lot of things just go naturally, and there is no need to think too much about the gains and losses. ”

At this moment, the guard suddenly came in: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief: The Rao'an Independent Division suddenly sent a task force into Rehe, and now it has reached the West Gate of Chengde." Because no order was given, the inspection team did not let him go. Please instruct! ”

"What?" Zhao Jinxi jumped up first: "Does Wei Chong, this deflated calf, want to turn the sky upside down?" He didn't send a telegram asking for instructions, nor did he get an order from the headquarters, but he sent the troops back without permission, what did he want to do? ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
