Under the situation that the production capacity is not comparable to the loss, the army is constantly expanding due to the needs of the war situation, and the weapons and equipment are always insufficient. Even if the elites of the Central Army of the current lineage are in a big battle, no matter how big the losses are, there are not many people who can get this replenishment. You must know that even the hearts of the chairman of the committee will not be able to replenish this quantity.

Of course, he resolutely would not give these two a rifle or a single bullet for some of the American-made equipment given by the Americans. The number of U.S. weapons and equipment is also insufficient, and the Central Army is not enough, where will it be the turn of those local powerful factions? Don't even think about it, it's reserved for the Central Army.

Even if these American-made M-1917 rifles are not small, including the tens of thousands handed over by the British. However, some of these American-made light weapons were captured by the Japanese army because of the rapid defeat in Burma before they could be shipped back to China.

Some of them were rushed to India by the British before the arrival of the Japanese army, and directly given to the expeditionary force that withdrew to India. Plus part of it was blown up by Japanese air raids during transportation. and the parts handed over by the British, a large part of which have become unusable due to poor maintenance. In fact, it is possible to equip the army immediately, and the number is not very large.

Therefore, the US weapons transported to China are far from enough to make up for the gap in the battle losses and expansion of the Central Army, and the powerful factions in those places should not even think about it. Don't talk about the miscellaneous cards in the second horse, it is the miscellaneous cards in the central army of the Northwest Army and the Hunan Army that have been centralized.

At present, those who can get this batch of American-made infantry machine guns are the First Army, the Second Army, the Eighteenth Army, the Seventy-fourth Army, the Hundred Army and other ace armies of the Central Army. But it was only 2,500 rifles and fifteen Thomson submachine guns from each corps to make up for the shortfall.

The only thing that really changes to the U.S. Ordnance Army now is to return to China through the Savage Mountain. But in Burma, all heavy weapons were lost, and most of the personnel were lost, and the original Fifth Army of the entire Soviet Union. This unit is the only unit that is now fully equipped with American-made light weapons.

However, the standard of this US armament unit is that the rifle is an American-made M1917 three-hand rifle, and the light machine gun is a domestically produced Czech light machine gun. As for the heavy machine gun, it is an American-made Browning water-cooled heavy machine gun. In addition, the whole army was armed with 150 Thomson submachine guns.

The artillery regiment directly under the army is still equipped with 12 American-made 75 mountain guns. The subordinate infantry divisions are not equipped with a single artillery, and they are mainly based on state-made 82 mortars. The only bright spot was that each division was equipped with six American-made 37 anti-aircraft guns. This so-called U.S. armed force is at most two-thirds of the U.S. armed and lightly armed army.

The M-1917 rifle provided by the United States and Britain was still manufactured and produced during World War I. By the time World War II broke out, the U.S. military still had a million in stock. In addition to giving 100,000 to the British, the rest selected a batch and gave it to Chongqing.

Although the Americans' own Springfield rifles are more performant, the US military is also expanding on a large scale, and the M half automatic rifle has just begun mass production, which is far from meeting the needs. For the sake of their own interests, the Americans gave the Chinese these American models of British-made rifles made during the First World War and with a large number of stocks.

When the Springfield-style rifle entered China, it was only after the US military was already equipped with an all-M-and-a half automatic rifle in four or three years. The large-scale entry into China was after the Stilwell brother, who had suffered enough for the highest authorities, was removed by the Americans. And at this time, it was already the end of the fourth year.

However, the manufacturing level and craftsmanship of the Americans are still not really said, plus the high-quality steel used to make these weapons. Although nearly thirty years have passed, the quality of these selected rifles is still better than that of the Chinese formal rifles using domestic gun steel. A country's industrial system determines a country's wartime production capacity.

This kind of old goods stockpiled by the Americans is just a helpless choice for the Chongqing side, which wants 300,000 rifles and 12,000 light machine guns when it opens its mouth. I don't like it, but I don't have any other choice. However, this batch of rifles of decent quality is better than nothing. At least it can make up for those who can't even match the rifle army because the production capacity can't keep up.

And what the highest authority didn't expect was that the dispute between him and that jealous son Joe was just the beginning. In the years to come, he would have had enough trouble dealing with the arrogant and rather narcissistic American. Most of the limited aid given by the Americans was wasted by this old man to Myanmar.

And this batch of US-made light weapons was the only large-scale batch of weapons and equipment he received before the end of the fourth or third year. The rest is a thousand rifles that come in by air today, five hundred carbines tomorrow, a few hundred submachine guns at most, and a batch of ammunition in the sky after tomorrow.

It was not until the end of '43 and the beginning of '44 that the first batch of 5,000 Canadian-made 79-caliber Bren light machine guns was airlifted, and the amount of weapons aid received began to increase significantly. By the fourth or fourth year, several of his elite Central Army had all been redressed into American-made equipment.

Even some miscellaneous cards in the Central Army, such as the 33rd Group Army of the Northwest Army, which even had relatively strong combat effectiveness, were also reequipped with semi-American armament units. However, the rifle is still the M-1917 or Springfield-style rifle, but the number of carbines and submachine guns has increased significantly.

In 444 years, the American-made 37 and 57 anti-aircraft guns and 107 heavy mortars, the M-175 mountain gun, the M-1 105 mountain artillery, and the imitation French 75-mm field artillery eliminated by the US military also began to enter China in large numbers. The number of light weapons is also far greater than in the previous two years.

And at this time, it was also the time when the Americans, instead of the British, began to give a large number of ground weapons, mainly heavy equipment assistance. Although a large amount of ground weapons assistance was given to the Anti-Japanese Federation, it began earlier than that given to Chongqing. However, the number of people is growing slowly.

In addition, Yang Zhen's requirements were different from those of Chongqing, and he insisted on transferring manufacturing technology, which made the Americans very annoyed all the time. The Americans always think that Yang Zhen is not authentic, and he gave you rice, but you have to take the pot away. The quarrel over technology transfer continued throughout the war, which in turn slowed down the efficiency of American aid.

Although under the requirements of the war situation, the Americans eventually gave a batch of technologies, but the overall technical performance has always been second-rate. Fortunately, although this batch of technology is already in the second-rate position for the Americans, it is still super-first-class for the current China.

In particular, the manufacturing technology of the B-24 bomber created a fairly good foundation for the later reverse imitation of the B-29 bomber with the Soviets. The Allison engine technology used in the P40 fighter created favorable conditions for the imitation of other Soviet-made engines in the later period. This engine, which has lagged behind in the United States, has become the source of technology for China's first generation of piston helicopter engines.

In this war, the Chinese, whether it is the anti-union in the north or the national government in the south, have different requirements. But in this war for aid, they are all at an absolute disadvantage, even behind the French, who have lost their country. There are also American countries that have declared war on Japan and Germany, but are still fighting soy sauce.

However, at present, the supreme authority in Chongqing has not yet taken into account the continued difficulties in the future, let alone the fact that his struggle with the US general who is the chief of staff of the US Army's China Theater and is solely responsible for US aid, will have a considerable impact on the entry of US aid. In addition to the American weapons that he left for his eyeballs, these Italian goods were also used by him to buy miscellaneous money.

In the case of using these miscellaneous armies, the performance of this batch is actually very poor, and the level of manufacturing is not high. The most important thing is that the ammunition caliber is special, and even the incomplete Central Army in front of it really does not like Italian light weapons, which have become the preferred weapon for Chongqing to win over the miscellaneous army.

And for these Italian goods that the Central Army did not like, those miscellaneous armies that had rarely been replenished since the Anti-Japanese War, and hunger and food were not enough to describe them, were much better than nothing. But even if the performance of these Italian weapons is very poor, it depends on the dishes when they are replenished.

Those miscellaneous armies that can have relatively strong combat effectiveness, good obedience, and are more desperate on the battlefield, such as the Gui army, still have to give some. The Seventh Army of the Gui Department eliminated all the old-fashioned old sleeves and Cantonese-made first-year rifles, and nearly half of the troops were replaced with Italian weapons, becoming the first Italian armed army.

The elite 20th Army and the 21st Army of the Sichuan Army, and the 28th Army of the Hunan Army system, which are more effective in combat and more desperate on the battlefield, also need to be supplemented. In addition, some people are the grass kings of Sichuan, so they have to give some if they don't have infighting.

As for the remaining small miscellaneous cards, or even the miscellaneous cards in the miscellaneous cards, if you want to replenish some of the firearms, it depends on the means and financial resources of each person. If you take out enough cash or gold bars to open up the upper echelons or buy real power figures to speak, it doesn't mean that you won't give it at all.

Like the 88th Army, where the famous silly division commander in the Sichuan Army was the commander, in order to replenish some equipment and ammunition. He gave 500 taels of gold and a bunch of antiques to buy off the so-called Fu Jiang, and the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing garrison, who was deeply trusted by the highest authority, interceded, and the highest authority replenished 500 Italian-made rifles, 15 Breda light machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of 65 ammunition.

However, although the Ministry of Military Affairs approved 500 rifles, the army commander who hurriedly went to get the guns still touched his nose when he arrived at the military station in the third theater. There is absolutely no problem that guns can give you this, but this is ten oceans per gun, and the ammunition has to be counted separately.

The price of this batch of ammunition is clear, 20 rounds of ammunition and 5 grenades in the ocean. Moreover, the stationmaster of the military station resolutely refused to accept the fiat currency in the constant depreciation, and only accepted the ocean and gold bars. The money and goods are cleared, one hand is paid, and the other hand is delivered, and there is absolutely no fraud.

Of course, if you can pay a little more, the station department can give you more ammo. Not to mention 100,000 rounds of ammunition, even 200,000 rounds are no problem. The key depends on how much price you can pay, as long as you pay for anything, you can say anything, and there is ammunition in the warehouse.

The gun can be given to you without paying, but you don't even think about the ammunition. The commander has given you 100,000 rounds of ammunition, but the people in the station department also need to eat. In desperation, the old man went out another 15,000 yuan to buy back the rifles and ammunition that should have been given to them, and bought an additional 50,000 rounds of 79 bullets and a batch of grenades.

What else? We must not let the brothers fight the Japanese empty-handed. The key is that this batch of Italian-made 65 rifles, the bullets have nowhere else to do it except for the military station. The security forces that were converted from the remnants of the Beiyang Army in Fujian, which were adjacent to the garrison, still had a batch of the same equipment. But people don't have enough for themselves, so why give it to you? If you don't spend this 10,000 oceans, this batch of guns that you bought back at a great price is just a pile of scrap iron.
