Chapter 67: The Exclamation of the Division and Brigade Commanders
The division headquarters ate in the same stove as the guard platoon, so they ate a little later than the cavalry battalion.
The chief of staff was sitting by the fire at this time, holding a notebook and pen in his hand, taking notes, but his nose was constantly sniffing the fragrance wafting in the air.
"This canned beef tastes delicious"
At this time, on the fire in the center of the earthen house, there was a large cauldron, in which rice mixed with canned beef was boiled, and the staple food was also rice and corn, but the amount of canned beef was more.
Grand Master Zhang was wet with rain and dew, and he secretly stuffed more than ten barrels of canned beef into the cooking squad of the cavalry battalion and the guard platoon.
"The taste of this canned meat is really good, it's much better than Japanese canned food"
The brigade commander licked the remaining trace of butter on his lips and nodded in agreement.
Compared with military canned food, which is biased towards long-term preservation and mass production, canned beef with braised pork with a lot of seasonings has a strong flavor and is very in line with the taste habits of China's Rao diet, which naturally won the praise of the brigade commander who secretly eats.
"I don't know where Zhang Lianshun got these things, he is too rich, we can only compare to him when our entire Eighth Route Army is the richest, I want to change positions with him, hey, this regiment commander is better than the brigade commander"
In the back, the brigade commander directly burst into a foul language, directly expressing envy and jealousy.
"No, even if we are all victorious in the period, we are not as rich as him, far from Ying
The chief of staff closed his notebook and sighed in a sighing tone.
"No, there were still a lot of good things when our whole army set off."
Subconsciously, the brigade commander expressed doubts.
Although Zhang Lianshun received material support from overseas Chinese, and the materials were abundant at the moment, but it was not as good as the 50,000 Rao Eighth Route Army at the beginning, he remembered that when he set off, the Nanjing official in order to promote the Eighteenth Route Army to go to the front line and the devils worked hard, and there was still the only time in the allocation of supplies that was generous and not deducted.
"You don't need more other supplies, just guns and ammunition."
The words of the chief of staff attracted the division commander, the brigade commander and the brigade chief of staff, that is, the long beard.
"After the agreement on the cooperation of the Unification War of Resistance was reached, the bullets allocated by the Nanjing government were two batches, one 300,000 rounds and one 200,000 rounds, although the number was sufficient, but in fact they were all defective goods, and many bullets had to be filed before they could be used."
"In the later Taiyuan Campaign, Yan Laoxi gave us another 500,000 rounds, hey, in order to let us protect his territory, Yan Laoxi gave these bullets are of good quality, and the speed of allocation is very fast"
"This is much worse than Nanjing, not only do you want us to go to the front line to work hard, but you don't want to give something good, you want the horses to run, and you don't have enough to eat, we are so stupid."
The chief of staff's words drew a burst of laughter from the division and brigade commanders.
The chief of staff continued.
"Later, Commander Fu's side also allocated 500,000 rounds to us, so that the total ammunition obtained by our whole army is 1.5 million rounds, and our 119th Division has allocated 500,000 rounds of them."
"As for the mortars, they didn't give a single one, but we lost 621 shells, which I counted myself, and the grenades were given 150,000."
"As for the full number of guns, including the flower traps given by private individuals, the total is only two hundred."
"Well, there are plenty of bullets in the front, and the battle is indeed smooth, but it's a pity, there is nothing in Nanjing in the back, otherwise our division will not be chased around by devils," the division commander sighed.
"People originally wanted our army and the devils to die together, so naturally they would not allocate any more ammunition," the chief of staff continued.
"Do you know how much Zhang Lianshun gave us earlier?"
The chief of staff here suddenly became mysterious.
"How much?"
The brigade commander and division commander asked.
After the first wave of devils' material transactions were successful, Grand Master Zhang found out that the person in charge was the chief of staff, so he dragged the chief of staff to discuss some business in private, and the division and brigade commander was immersed in the rich material surprise at that time, so he went to see it.
All they knew was that the total price was 220 veterans.
"I won't be able to get the devil's supplies, you all heard it"
The division and brigade commander and the brigade chief of staff nodded their heads, although they could see from the number of wooden boxes that the supplies were far more than those that were traded at the beginning, but only the chief of staff of the division knew the exact amount of weapons and ammunition, after all, the materials also included a large number of clothing and clothing.
"Barge guns, it's the same mass as the one in your arms, five hundred" The chief of staff looked at the brigade commander's waist.
"Five hundred? All German boutiques? ”
Hearing this, the brigade commander subconsciously exclaimed.
"Yes," the chief of staff nodded.
Seeing the chief of staff admitting, the division and brigade commander instantly opened his mouth and didn't know anything for a while.
Shell guns are very common in the troops, and it is conservatively estimated that there are definitely more than 600 in the main force of the 119th Division, that is, an average of eight people have one shell gun, and each squad can have one.
Compared with other pistols, the shell gun is versatile, it has a long enough range, a high rate of fire, and can reach up to 200 meters with the butt of the gun box, and can even make up for the lack of machine gun fire if necessary.
However, these shell guns existing in the army are either old guns with very rifled and smoothed out, or defective goods made by domestic arsenals, and only a small number still maintain good quality.
Not long ago, Zhang Lianshun gave the brigade commander a barge gun, and the quality of this gun was so high that even the division commander was red-eyed.
This is the best quality barge gun that the division and brigade commander has seen in his more than ten years of war career.
Use a method of comparison to illustrate the quality of this gun.
The quality of this gun is compared with other original German products, just like the German goods compared with the barge guns produced by the second-tier arsenal in China, it is the best of the best, and it is a truly peerless gun.
It was a miracle that there was such a gun alone, and now they were told that there were five hundred such guns.
This kind of impact made the division and brigade commander speechless for a while, and subconsciously several people directly denied it in their hearts, but looking at the serious tone of the chief of staff, several people understood in their hearts that the chief of staff would not lie to them.
"I don't believe myself, open it and take a look."
The chief of staff gestured to a few wooden boxes in the corner.
Hearing this, the commander of the guard company who had been by the side of the division and brigade commander hurriedly stepped over and carried the box over.
Open the large wooden box that fits tightly, and under the beautiful rubber soft wool pad, the five shell guns are securely fixed, and in the box are neatly placed a large number of bullet bridges, spare parts, gun oil, and gun maintenance kits.
After receiving the shell gun handed over by the company commander, several people could sense it with a copy in their hands.
The five guns in their hands are the best of the best, the best of the best, the best of the best.
While the division and brigade commander was amazed, the commander of the guard company quietly stuffed a gun into his arms.
