Chapter 363: The Influence of Killing with a Knife
These people in the military station department are classmates with the Central Army, so naturally they will not go to the Central Army to make a fortune. Gui Jun's backstage is hard, and he doesn't dare to offend. People want to make a fortune, but they point to them as a ragtag army with no father and no mother. Everyone has a backstage, and those above are all Whampoa classmates, and they still have tendons attached to their broken arms. You just sue, it's useless. If you don't know this lawsuit, there will be no such supplements next time.
In the face of the weapons and equipment that were almost bankrupt, they should have replenished themselves. The veteran of the Sichuan Army, who broke his family to defend the country after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and scattered all his family property to raise troops to fight against the Japanese in Sichuan, couldn't help but cry. This is still a supplement that he got by going the right way and still having some savings on hand. If you change to the Poor Clank's miscellaneous cards, this thing is not there yet.
And in the second half of the 42nd year of this army, it was completely annexed by the Central Army, and the nephew of the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs took over as the commander. This was originally equipped with tattered Sichuan-made rifles, and Hanyang-made and these Italian rifles were a ragtag army of good guns.
Immediately, the whole army was replaced with the Soviet armament equipment eliminated by the Fifth Army, not to mention some American armaments. The whole infantry of the army was made Mosin Nagant rifles, one Tokarev light machine gun or DP light machine gun for each infantry squad, and five M-1910 Makqin heavy machine guns for the infantry battalion heavy machine gun company.
In addition to the 82 mortars made by the state, each division was equipped with 12 guns, and even at the army level, an artillery regiment composed of six Italian 65 mountain guns and eight Italian-made 75 mm M 1934 field guns. This firepower is unique among the armies under the three theaters.
The military special mission is all equipped with American weapons. Not only was each infantry squad equipped with two Thomson submachine guns, all American-made M-1917 rifles. Even the squad is a light machine gun, which is equipped with American-made M-1918 light machine guns that other armies are not equipped with. The battalion belongs to the heavy machine gun company, which is six American-made Browning water-cooled heavy machine gun machine guns, and Colt pistols for all officers at all levels.
Such a complete system is all equipped with American weapons, not even ace troops like the Fifth Army and the Seventy-fourth Army. Among the US-aided weapons, the US-made M-1918 light machine gun is too small in number, and even the Fifth Army light machine gun, which is known as the all-American weapon, is a Czech-made one.
The military minister gave his nephew's escort troops, which can be described as armed to the teeth. When this special service group was transferred to the Eighth Army with him, it was so well-equipped that the Eighth Army, which was still mainly based on domestically made equipment, was dumbfounded. It made the 71st Army, which also belonged to the expeditionary force sequence, extremely envious.
Although in fact, even if the whole set is equipped with the M-1917 rifle, the M-1918 light machine gun, and the Browning water-cooled heavy machine gun, the combined firepower of this light weapon is not comparable to the official rifle, Czech light machine gun, Type 24 heavy machine gun, and light weapons in the country. Both the rate of fire and the density of firepower are basically the same.
The M-1918 light machine gun, which could not even replace the barrel, was to a certain extent inferior in performance to a certain extent than the Czech-made machine gun that could replace the barrel. The Browning water-cooled machine gun and the Type 24 heavy machine gun are basically equal in performance and weight, and neither is better than the other.
As for the M-1917 rifle, it is actually a little worse than the official prototype Mauser M-1924 rifle. As for the American-made Springfield rifle, it is itself an improved version of the Mauser 98 rifle, which has always been called Citi Zhongzheng in China. The performance of weapons is all eight or nine.
Where the United States really excels is not in these small arms. The American-made rifles with a really fast rate of fire are definitely not those Springfield and M-1917 rifles. Rather, it is the M half automatic rifle, plus the Thomson submachine gun, the M carbine, these automatic and semi-automatic light weapons. The same is being added with overwhelming air support, plus a lot of artillery fire.
However, at this time, Chongqing was superstitious about American weapons, believing that as long as there were American weapons, they could conquer the world, and American weapons were equal to advanced weapons. As everyone knows, these so-called American weapons, in the absence of M half automatic rifles and those submachine guns and carbines, were second-rate throughout World War II.
There is no better place than the 38 rifle, the 96 light machine gun, and the 92 heavy machine gun used by the Japanese army. But the United States is superior in Chongqing, and if it is equipped with the United States, it is fearless and the trump card. Especially the highest authority, when distributing American weapons, the central army has always put the first place. Let these beautiful weapons become the standard for measuring the combat effectiveness of a troop.
Except for those with a backstage, or those that have been centralized, they don't want to get it at all. Throughout the Anti-Japanese War, the miscellaneous army was always discriminated against in terms of supply. Not only was the funds and ammunition not guaranteed, but he also had to be wary of being eaten by the Central Army that had lost troops in a major battle from time to time.
The small and medium-sized miscellaneous units of the Sichuan Army, represented by the 88th Army, are typical representatives. In order to get some supplements, not only do you have to spend money to dredge, but you also have to endure the blackmail of the military station. In the end, he was unable to keep his troops, and was adopted to ascend and surrender secretly, and the troops were annexed.
For the current Chongqing army, if you do not concurrently serve as the chief officer of the combat unit, you will not have the right to be a deputy without military power. Once a miscellaneous army general is deprived of the military power of the front-line troops, let alone being the deputy commander of a group army, or being the deputy commander of a theater of operations, no one will take care of you, and it is better to speak to a division below than to be effective.
Of course, this situation is an exception for the Central Army, which is a real promotion and preparation for the next step. But for the miscellaneous generals, it means seizing military power. After being promoted, the commander of the combat unit who was originally appointed was dismissed, and this method of openly promoting and secretly descending has also become a consistent method adopted by the Chongqing side to deal with those miscellaneous army generals who are not at ease.
The life of the ragtag army is not very good. Especially the miscellaneous army in the miscellaneous like Erma, because they still have to be used to defend the northwest line. In addition, they themselves are also in their own nests, and they have not been transferred to the front line, so they have not seized their military power openly and secretly.
Although it was not dismantled like the Sichuan army, it was not swallowed directly like some small miscellaneous cards. However, the supply of firearms, food and ammunition, and the source of funds have always basically had to be found by themselves, and the "central authorities" will absolutely not replenish them. This time, I was able to get these equipment, ammunition, and materials without spending a single penny, which can be regarded as an absolute exception.
Moreover, the speed at which this batch of equipment and materials arrived was quite fast, and within a week of the order being issued, it was shipped from the Xi'an military station. All the replenishment will be in place within half a month. Not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of efficiency, it can be said to be unprecedented. The most important thing is that this is the first time that these two have replenished equipment and ammunition from the "center", and they do not have to spend money to go to the door. And not only did it not cost money, but also gave a large amount of money.
However, the supreme authority in Chongqing, who is extremely skilled in borrowing a knife to kill people, supplemented them with these weapons and ammunition, and the purpose was not just to kill people with a knife, so that Erma could be the first bird. To a certain extent, it has also tightened its control over Erma to a certain extent, and it is definitely a well-intentioned hand.
These Italian-made Carcano rifles, Breda M 30 light machine guns, and Fiat M 35 heavy machine guns are all 65 caliber bullets. And this kind of 65 caliber bullet is not universally used with the Jin-made 38-type rifle, the Japanese-made 38 rifle, and the so-called Dianying 65-style 65 rifle, which were mainly equipped with the second horse.
As for the Breda M38 heavy machine gun, the eight-millimeter bullets used have nowhere to be found. This batch of ammunition has run out, and there is no place to replenish it except for listening honestly to the Chongqing side. Once the second horse is disobedient and cuts off its ammunition supply channel, this batch of weapons is not as good as a burning stick.
These weapons are actually more like a reins around the neck of a horse. How about the weapon given to you? As long as I control the source of your ammo, you have to be obedient. Otherwise, I will directly cut off your ammunition and funding sources, so that you have guns and no ammunition to use.
However, after the weapons and equipment were allocated, the number and funds were all in place. The supreme authority, who was still a little uneasy about these two horses, sent his own attendant room, the major general Gao Shen, to tell the first protégé of the Son of Heaven in the Eighth War Zone. When replenishing ammunition and military salaries for the second horse, it can only be paid monthly, and it must not be allowed to form sufficient reserves.
When the second horse asks for instructions to replenish the ammunition, it can be delayed, and if it can't be delayed, it will be given as little as possible. No more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition for light weapons may be reissued at any one time. Seventy-nine bullets are not allowed to be replenished. As for the six mountain cannons, if they wanted to replenish the shells, they had to use the shells in exchange, and the supply of horse material that the cavalry needed most was replenished every three days.
And let him send people to see the death of the few arsenals in the Second War Zone that had been moved to Shaanxi, and he must not give Erma the opportunity to buy ammunition from that king of Shanxi. Even this supreme authority authorized the military command station of the Eighth Theater to directly seal down the factory and arrest people when necessary. The second theater of operations is there, and it is up to the "center" to explain.
At the same time, an army of the Central Army was transferred to the Hexi Corridor for defense on the pretext of dealing with the situation in Xinjiang, cutting off the connection between Qingma, which had entered Longdong, and Qinghai. and mobilized a division to be stationed at the junction of Gansu and Ningxia. This sweet date has been given, but the deterrent power is still needed.
In short, these two horses should be used, but they should be guarded against. If you are obedient, you will give a little sweetness, and if you are disobedient, you will tighten the reins and give a few whips. If these two horses do not obey the order, they will be annihilated by means immediately. By the time the two horses received the weaponry, the noose had been tightly tied around their necks.
How could the supreme authorities in Chongqing take the guns, bullets and money that have always been very tight against the miscellaneous army? If you want to play the trick of the white wolf with empty gloves, it is simply impossible to take weapons and equipment and numbers plus money for nothing. The equipment and funds are given to you, but you also have to contribute.
In the battle of the Hexi Corridor, these two horses did too much, and they had a blood feud with northern Shaanxi, which can be described as incompatible. One regards the territory and the army as the lifeblood, and although it is ostensibly peaceful with northern Shaanxi, in fact it is on guard. And they all sit in a barren and poor land, and they want to stretch out in their dreams. Otherwise, why did that Qingma keep competing for the chairman of Gansu Province?
Borrow a knife to kill, give Erma a little sweetness, and let Erma and northern Shaanxi kill each other. He withdrew to the Central Army on the second line and sat in the rear to reap the benefits. When necessary, to use Erma to silence the mouths of the Americans and international pressure, this supreme authority is really playing a good trick.
This supreme authority, who has always been stubborn and self-serving, thinks that he has made full use of the mentality of the second horse, and has given a lot of sweet dates, presumably the second horse will definitely be tricked. It's just that he is very smart, and whether the character who has accumulated rich experience in internal struggles for many years will be trapped, that is two different things. Tsing Ma has always had the ambition to expand outward, and may bite the hook. But the treacherous and cunning Ning Ma may not eat this set.
