Chapter 675: Strong Militia Division
Chapter 675: Strong Militia Division
These soldiers wore suede leather shoes, unlike ordinary Kuomintang soldiers who wore straw sandals.
According to the National Army, most of the troops who wear this kind of shoes are directly under the command of their superiors.
But if more than 10,000 people are wearing suede shoes, that’s a different story.
This means that they are the central army among the central army and the most loyal among the loyal troops.
If you say that their superiors love their soldiers like their own sons, they will spend their own money to equip them.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
One reason is that those superiors do not have the ability to do so. Even if they have the ability, how could they be willing to buy shoes for their subordinates?
Even if you are really rich, revealing your wealth like this will make it difficult for your colleagues.
Do you think there is any way to protect your family assets?
I'm afraid that your superiors will kill you before your colleagues even have to take action.
Now Sun Jin and Shi Tian's hearts were burning with excitement.
They were all thinking about how to strip the equipment from the enemy soldiers.
Look at the military uniforms they are wearing, they are exactly the same as the standard uniforms of the National Army.
But the material used is completely different, and it feels thicker than that of ordinary officers.
Especially in battle, it is absolutely wear-resistant and not easy to be damaged. Unlike the rags worn by his soldiers.
If you just crawl forward, you can make your body full of holes.
If you mean, those gentlemen in the logistics department.
I would never believe that they did not cut corners on the fabric of the military uniforms, even if you kill me.
Look at the accessories on these soldiers, they have everything.
What about kettles, towels, washbasins, pots, quilts and engineer shovels?
Even these soldiers each had a gas mask.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, each person had four grenades and a rifle that was much shorter than the regular rifle.
Look at the bayonets on their waists. Can they fight with the Japanese in a bayonet fight?
You have to know that the Japanese's Type 38 rifle with bayonet was about 1.78 meters long.
This is almost half a meter less than that of the Japanese, and it is easy to suffer a great loss in a bayonet fight.
But they had too many bullets on them. Their bodies could hold 160 bullets.
Is it necessary to be so exaggerated and wasteful?
Unlike his subordinates, each of them only had twenty bullets at most.
I don’t know what model their bullets are, and whether they can be used interchangeably with the Zhongzheng and Hanyang types.
If they can be used universally, take away all the excess bullets.
If you put the bullets on the black market, that’s all money!
Helmets and helmets. Every one of them actually has one. This must also be taken away.
It's almost the end of the year, and next spring is not far away anyway, so just give each person a single hat.
Since you are all from the Central Army, don't you need to be so unconventional?
But when I looked at the faces of these soldiers...
There was black paint on the faces of these soldiers, which was smeared from somewhere.
Some had two, some had three, and they looked a little nervous.
When they saw the cold eyes of those soldiers again, the greed in their hearts faded a little.
At this time, the two young "marshals" came over and saluted them.
"Reporting to Commander Sun (Commander Shi), I am from the National Revolutionary Army, the First Division (Fourth Division) of the Jiangnan Militia.
I am the division commander Wen Yibai (Dongfang Shang), and I have been ordered to report to the army commander. Please give me your instructions."
At this time, the commander of the Ninth War Zone had retreated to the side.
An expression that said, "I'm just watching your performance and I won't say anything."
Commander Sun knew that the theater commander did not want to intervene.
I guess one reason for coming here today is to see the combat effectiveness of the militia division.
Another thing is to warn myself and Commander Shi not to make things too ugly.
Commander Sun cleared his throat and said, "Welcome to the two militia division commanders. You have traveled thousands of miles by boat and carriage. You must have worked hard."
Wen Yibai (Dongfang Shang) stood at attention and said, "We are all serving the Party and the country, so this humble position is not hard."
Shi Tian took a look and saw that they spoke so neatly, this must have been practiced!
How come they are different from the legends?
At least in words, they can still appear loyal.
Army Commander Shi said in a gentle voice: "The two generals are good at leading the troops.
The soldiers of your two divisions are indeed strong! Let them go to the camp and rest quickly."
Wen Yibai and Dongfang Shang looked at each other, and Dongfang Bai asked, "Sir, which division are you talking about?"
Commander Shi pointed at the soldiers and said, "Isn't this all the troops from your two divisions?"
Dongfang Shang: "General Shi is wrong, this is not all the troops in our division.
You see the square formation with more people on the left, it is the guard brigade of Division Commander Wen Yibai.
The smaller square on the right is my Dongfang Shang's guard brigade."
"Is this the guard brigade of the two of you?"
After hearing this, several people all cried out in surprise. Even the commander of the war zone beside him stood up straight.
Sun Jin felt his throat dry, and he swallowed before continuing.
"Then where are the main forces of your two divisions? How many troops did you bring with you to Changsha this time?"
Dongfang Shang: "Our Jiangnan Militia Fourth Division will move all its members into Hubei this time.
Our Fourth Militia Division has a total of two infantry brigades, each with more than 9,000 soldiers.
A division guard brigade of 5,000 people and an artillery marine regiment of more than 5,000 people.
There is also an artillery regiment of 2,000 people, a baggage and logistics regiment of 2,000 people, and a cavalry regiment of 1,000 people.
Including the division headquarters and the division hospital, and an engineering battalion, there are about 35,000 people here. "
Wen Yibai: "Reporting to the superiors, our Jiangnan Militia First Division will also enter Hubei in full force this time.
Our First Militia Division has a total of two infantry brigades, each with more than 10,000 soldiers.
Two divisional guard brigades, each with about 5,000 men.
One artillery marine regiment has more than 5,000 people, and one artillery regiment has 2,000 people.
A baggage and logistics regiment of 2,000 people, and a cavalry regiment of 2,000 people.
Including our division headquarters and division hospital, and an engineering battalion, there are about 43,000 people here."
General Sun Jin was so dumbfounded by what he heard that he asked a very stupid question.
"Well, why does your First Militia Division have two guard brigades?"
Wen Yibai replied very seriously: "Sir, this is because my deputy division commander came here because of his reputation. He also has a guard brigade."
Dongfang Shang also said: "Report to the commander, there are two reasons why my deputy division commander does not have a guard brigade.
One is that I don’t have that many soldiers, so why would I form a crappy guard brigade for him?
Another reason was that my deputy division commander broke his leg while riding a horse.
Since he returned to Longshui to recuperate, the higher-ups have not assigned me a deputy division commander."
Sun Jin regretted asking the question, and gave the two people in front of him another chance to pretend.
Sun Jin hadn't reacted yet, but Shi Tian and the two newly sent commanders heard different meanings from the words.
Master Dongfang Shang looks gentle and polite, but he is actually much more difficult to deal with than Wen Yibai.
He is telling you clearly that you can’t have what I don’t want to give you.
Otherwise he would be like that deputy division commander who stretched out his hand towards him.
When you break your leg, you can go wherever you want to recuperate.
