Chapter 169: Appointment (4)
The reason why Tian Guanwu was so excited was because Leng Jie gave weapons and ammunition.
There were 1,000 Type 38 rifles alone, as well as more than 20 Japanese-style light and heavy machine guns and a large amount of ammunition.
If Leng Jie was in a miscellaneous unit of the Central Army, he would definitely not be so generous, but he was in the civil engineering department, and the 54th Army was still a descendant of the civil engineering department, so he wouldn't have much of a problem with light weapons.
As for artillery, it can't be done, the whole of China is short of artillery.
But Leng Jie left those 92 infantry guns, which should be enough for a short time.
It can be said that at this time, in addition to the infantry guns and mortars, the Japanese weapons in Leng Jie's hands were not intended to be given away, and only part of the heavy machine guns and grenadiers were retained, and rifles and light machine guns were all sent out.
His plan was for Tian Guanwu to give two-thirds and the other third to Chen Wanren.
"Xinghua, you... Tian Guanwu was a little excited and incoherent, "You are really too polite." ”
Leng Jie shook his head and said seriously, "Chief Tian, I am also from Sichuan, but seeing that the equipment of our Sichuan army is so poor, to be honest, I really can't stand it."
But I'm just a lieutenant colonel, I can't get on the stage, and I can't help much, even if these rifles are as fellow countrymen, I give some help to the Sichuan army. ”
"Thank you so much." Tian Guanwu is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Don't look at the back, Tian Guanwu will be the division commander immediately, but the divisions of the Sichuan army have a problem, that is, there are not many people, and there is a big shortage.
Don't look at Tian Guanwu's independent 13th Brigade is a brigade, but there are not more than 3,000 people, which is not as many as Leng Jie's people who teach the second regiment.
Of course, there is a problem with teaching the establishment of the second regiment, otherwise it would not have been split into two regiments, although it does not meet the standard of a brigade of the Central Army, but it is not much worse.
Generally, a regiment of the Central Army has about 2,000 people (the exception is that there are more than 5,000 people in a regiment of the Tax Police Corps), but because the establishment of the Central Army is also somewhat chaotic, some regiments may be seriously overstaffed (mainly reflected in the troops of the Huangpu lineage), and some are seriously lacking.
The Sichuan army is seriously lacking.
And these more than 1,000 rifles can almost equip Tian Guanwu with two elite Japanese weapons regiments, so Tian Guanwu was so excited, and he didn't expect Leng Jie to be so generous.
"It's all used to fight devils, there's no need to be so polite."
To be honest, whoever is allowed to come, I can't stand the equipment of the Sichuan army.
What is the concept of Hanyang-made rifles that are very luxurious for the Sichuan army? Even the rifles of many Sichuan army units are still rifles from the seventies and eighties of the last century, what is that concept?
However, one thing must be admitted, during the Anti-Japanese War, the main rifle of the Chinese army was made in Hanyang.
Neither the German-style mid-formal, nor the Soviet-style Mosin Nagant became the main rifle.
In the later period and the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the main forces of the national army's weapons and equipment became American and Japanese. The former is U.S. aid, and the latter is those Japanese-style weapons left behind after Japan's surrender.
These rifles are nothing to Leng Jie, but they are of great significance to Tian Guanwu.
The next day, under the escort of Tian Guanwu and the officers and men of the 13th Independent Brigade, nearly 4,000 people, including the Second Regiment and the wounded, were instructed to go to Nanchang.
Originally, many people were greedy for these 4,000 elites, and they also sent people to win them over, but they didn't expect to join the civil engineering department in the end.
Even Song Xilian has thought about it, but others are soft-spoken, and Leng Jie has offended a lot of people, and he can't be even.
Including Qiu Qingquan and Liao Yaoxiang have suggested, but considering the unhappiness when they broke through before, Qiu Qingquan finally gave up the idea of pulling Leng Jie and others to the 200th Division.
And it is true that Leng Jie has offended a lot of people, and the average general is really uneven, so Chen Cheng's face is big enough.
Compared with Leng Jie and others who drove to Nanchang in a beautiful manner, the people of the Tax Police Corps were more difficult.
At the urging of Gu Mosan, the commander of the Third Theater of Operations, the Tax Police Corps was finally reorganized into the 40th Division of the 8th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
As for the reorganization into the army, the top and bottom of the tax police corps are extremely reluctant.
Quite simply, because the army is a shrinking national disaster, and the tax police corps is paid the full amount of military salaries. Moreover, the management method of the Central Army is also very different from that of the Tax Police Corps, so many people from the old regiment began to leave one after another.
is like Li Hong, who is now only the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the regiment, and Wang Sen and Li Chengshuo, the two old subordinates of Leng Jie, are only captains and company commanders.
Although the military salary and position have been promoted compared with when they first participated in the Battle of Songhu, they are worse than Leng Jie.
So when they learned that Leng Jie's department was reorganized into the first brigade, the old men of the tax police corps were surprised.
Of course, Leng Jie performed very well in the defense of Nanjing, and also killed many Japanese generals and captured a wing flag.
You must know that Leng Jie is the person who went out of their tax police corps, this graduated from the military academy and was in the tax police corps, but in half a year, the other party became the head of the lieutenant colonel, and this promotion speed is not fast.
Thinking of the current situation, this group of people also has some mixed feelings in their hearts.
Let's just say that Li Hong, he is Leng Jie's boss, and he graduated from the fifth phase of Huangpu, who would have thought that he would be caught up by his former subordinates so soon.
Strictly speaking, Leng Jie is better than him now, although he is also a lieutenant colonel, Leng Jie is the regiment commander, he is just a battalion commander.
It is definitely unrealistic to let Li Hong go to Leng Jie, he can't pull it off.
"Battalion commander, I heard that Commander Sun is back, and he is going to rebuild the tax police corps."
As a result of being reorganized into the Army, these people in the Tax Police Corps were called uncomfortable, and every day they could hear the news of who had left the 40th Division.
"Really?" Li Hong was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”
The man said, "It's true, I heard from others two days ago, should we leave the 40th Division and go to Commander Sun?" ”
To be honest, Li Hong was a little moved, but there were also problems.
Can the Tax Police Corps be rebuilt?
If they can't rebuild, what's the use of them not coming back?
"Wait for now, it's best to get in touch with Chief Sun, and we don't know if the Tax Police Corps can be rebuilt." Li Hong hesitated.
"It should be possible, after all, Chief Sun and Minister Song have a good relationship, and we were originally from the tax police force under the Ministry of Finance, so I think the Ministry of Finance will support it."
This kind of thing is not something that the people below can guess through.
Compared with many people who want to take refuge in Sun Liren, the old chief, there are also people who want to take refuge in Leng Jie, of course, they are all Leng Jie's old subordinates.
For example, Li Chengshuo, Wang Sen and others.
After seeing that Daniel Zhang and Li Jichang, who were inferior to themselves and others in the past, walked in front of them, they also felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
And whether the tax police corps can be rebuilt is also a question, rather than this, it is better to defect to Leng Jie, the old boss.
At least it's more reliable.
However, Li Hong didn't know about this, but the two of them were not in a hurry, no matter how they had to get in touch with their old boss Leng Jie.
Li Hong and Li Chengshuo, the former colleagues of the tax police corps, Leng Jie did not know. After all, he is not very well-informed, and this new unit also needs to deal with the new commanders and colleagues here.
