However, when he heard that the troops were going to be replaced with German equipment, Shi Shi'an's eyes widened wider than a bull's eye, and in the 145th Brigade, except for Li Han and Gao Jian, no one knew the situation of the 145th Brigade better than him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are more than 7,000 people in the whole brigade, which is not much different from a B division, and all of them have been replaced with German armaments, and at present, there is no such precedent in the army of the whole country. Even the Central Military Capital will not begin this work for many years.

Shi Shi'an has been the head of the regiment for so many years, and the price of weapons in various countries is known, according to the figures quoted by Li Han to him, he hastily estimated that the price of this batch of arms is about one million oceans.

I didn't expect that Li Han would not only be able to fight, but also that his ability to make money was not weak at all, could it be that he was blind, otherwise he had never found out that Li Han still had the ability before.

Thinking of this, Shi Shi'an suddenly felt that it was no wonder that Li Han, this kid, had only been away from him for a year, and he had climbed on his head, and he couldn't catch up with his ability to make money alone.

In the current situation of the Republic of China, unless they are from the Central Army, no other local troops are allowed to prepare their own small treasury or the like.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to maintain the strength of the troops by relying on the little salaries and weapons provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs, let alone improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Even the Central Army also had its own small coffers, but at least three or seven years ago, they didn't have to count every penny like local troops like Li Han.

However, if Shi Shi'an knew that most of Li Han's money was robbing the Japanese, he probably wouldn't think so.

"Big brother, now our brigade has twelve more Bofors mountain guns in our hearts, but our artillery is not enough."

Artillery is a technical branch of the army, and there is a cycle for training, although Li Han has never stopped training artillery.

But all of a sudden, the steps have become bigger, and it is a bit of a stretch, and at present two artillery battalions can be formed with infantry artillery and mountain artillery alone.

"Brigade commander, you don't need to say it, I know, it's a big deal not to have my old face, there are still a lot of my acquaintances in the volunteers, so I'll pull more people for you this time, you always come to me."

Another artillery battalion has been added to the brigade, and Shi Shi'an is of course also happy, he now regards the 145th Brigade as his home, and of course hopes that the 145th Brigade will be as strong as possible.

"If you don't talk about fighting tiger brothers and going into battle, father and son soldiers, at a critical time, the regiment commander, your old man is reliable, and this matter will be entrusted to you."

Li Han now understands what it means to have an old man in the family, and if there is a treasure. The artillery matter has always been a shortcoming of his, and even the current deputy commander of the artillery battalion, Xu Hu, was dug by Li Han from Tang Yulin.

Although Shi Shi'an is not yet forty years old and has nothing to do with old age, his military age has been more than ten years old, and he is an out-and-out veteran.

has always been in the ranks of the Northeast Army, and that network can be compared to Li Han, a brigade commander who was temporarily promoted.

"Don't thank me too early, I also have a request, you have to give me more submachine guns, you know that I am a person, I never like to take advantage of others, I don't want more, you just give me four hundred."

Shi Shi'an said with a normal face, as if he was talking not about 400 submachine guns but 400 burning sticks.

When Li Han heard Shi Shi'an's words, he almost spurted blood, four hundred submachine guns were not much, but he only bought eight hundred in total.

Originally, in Li Han's eyes, Shi Shi'an has always been an officer with an upright style and the demeanor of some ancient Confucian generals, and he has always been regarded as an idol by Li Han.

But at this moment, the image of the idol in Li Han's heart collapsed, it turned out that the officers in the world were all the same, and when they saw a good weapon, it was like taking it for themselves, even the deputy brigade commander Shi was no exception.

"Alright! That is, the head of the regiment, you dare to open this mouth, so let's do it, I will simply be a good person to the end.

I will also send three of the Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery battalion, but you have to bring back a few more artillery pieces for me, and your artillery will have to go to find it yourself, I only provide artillery here, and there is no artillery. ”

Li Han smiled bitterly and agreed to Shi Shi'an's request, who let himself be a soldier under him.

It was rare for the old regiment commander to make his own request, Li Han couldn't bear to refuse him, and besides, the submachine gun was not given to anyone, anyway, it was used to fight devils.

And he's about to buy another batch of submachine guns, anyway, now he's a rich man now.

However, with Shi Shi'an's experience this time, Li Han does not plan to tell the commanders of the field troops below, and he will directly supplement the regiments when the time comes.

There was a ruckus in Chengde City because of the loss of gold, but Li Han vigorously changed the equipment in Duolun.

Moreover, after this change, the establishment of the unit has also been decided, and if there are no special circumstances, there will be no further changes in a short period of time.

This time, Li Han bought 72 Makqin heavy machine guns, 200 Czech light machine guns, and 30 80 mortars, which was enough to arm the 145th Brigade to the teeth.

At present, the 14th and 15th regiments are all infantry regiments with three battalions, and after the units were reequipped, all the rifles were replaced with Mauser rifles, heavy machine guns were equipped to the first floor of the company, and light machine guns were equipped to the first floor of the squad.

Moreover, the 14th Regiment was also armed with 400 submachine guns, the 15th Regiment was also armed with 200 submachine guns, and the last 200 were all equipped with the guard company.

In addition, each regiment added an additional mortar company on the basis of the original, equipped with 10 80 mortars, and a heavy machine gun company, equipped with 12 Maxim heavy machine guns.

Not only that, but because Li Han had already bought twelve Bofors mountain guns, and six Type 92 infantry guns continued to stay in the artillery camp, it was a bit redundant.

And he has also promised Shi Shi'an to transfer three infantry guns to the 14th Regiment, of course, it is impossible to break his promise, and at the same time, it can also improve the heavy firepower of the regiment-level troops.

Since the 14th Regiment had three infantry guns, Li Han certainly would not favor one over the other, so he allocated the remaining three infantry guns to the 15th Regiment.

As a result, the two regiments also numbered 500 more than the original due to the addition of a large number of heavy weapons, reaching 3,000 men, and the total number of the two regiments was 6,000.

Although the artillery battalion was divided into six Type 92 infantry guns, there were 12 more Bofors mountain guns.

The number of mountain guns in the artillery battalion has reached 16, and there are also four 37 anti-aircraft guns, and the firepower has increased instead of decreasing, and the strength of the army has also reached more than 800 people, and the only fly in the ointment is that the caliber of these mountain guns is all 75 mm caliber.

The guard company was also fully equipped with submachine guns, and the reconnaissance battalion was not equipped with either Mauser rifles or submachine guns, but a machine gun company of six heavy machine guns and four mortars was added.

As for the supplementary battalion, Li Han still attached great importance to Deng Zishan, the first puppet corps commander to take refuge in himself, and also added a machine gun company to the supplementary battalion, and the strength of the battalion reached more than 1,000 people.

And Li Han also assured Deng Zishan that when the next batch of rifles arrived, all the supplementary battalions would be replaced with new weapons.

After the completion of the rearmament of the troops, the brigade will have a total of more than 8,800 troops, and all branches of the armed forces will be fully organized, so long as they are familiar with the new equipment in their hands, the combat effectiveness of the 145 th Brigade will make a qualitative leap.

Now Li Han can say with great exaggeration that in the absence of planes to help the battle, with superior firepower, any regiment of the 145th Brigade can suppress a brigade of the Japanese army.

At present, Li Han's combat goal is not limited to a large group of the Japanese army, and with the current equipment and strength of the 145th Brigade, it is fully capable of competing with a complete field wing of the Japanese army.

And when he paid the first 400,000 oceans of military expenses, Will couldn't open his eyes with a smile, and at the same time, Li Han's ability to collect money also made Will very impressed, he was an arms dealer, and he couldn't do a Chinese soldier in the field of making money.

Li Han is just a brigade commander, and for ordinary people, this position is not an exaggeration to say that it is high and unattainable.

But relative to the entire Republic of China, there are not two hundred but one hundred and eighteen officers at the level of brigade commander.

If every Chinese brigade commander like Li Han could complete the demechanization of the troops at his own expense, then the Republic of China would have an army of more than 100 German armament divisions and brigades.

At that time, if the Japanese wanted to run rampant in China, they had to think carefully about conquering cities.

"Mr. Will, I still need a thousand more submachine guns, and I hope to deliver them together when the second batch of rifles arrives, I don't know if you can do it."

The submachine gun firepower is fierce and light, and it can play a role that rifles and light machine guns cannot achieve when they are in close combat.

Li Han was also very greedy for submachine guns, thinking about it, if each company had a submachine gun platoon, and when the Japanese army rushed into the position, the submachine gun platoon rushed out for a burst of strafing, then the scene would probably be very exciting.

It's a pity that this is not realistic, not to mention a thousand submachine guns, even if it is doubled, Li Han can afford it, but the problem is that the ammunition consumption of this thing is very terrifying, and it can shoot hundreds of bullets in a minute.

You must know that the soldiers of the national army participate in a general battle, and they will shoot four or five hundred rounds of ammunition from the beginning to the end, which is equivalent to the submachine gun only one minute, and the rifle can fight for several months.

Even the Japanese army, which had basically completed industrialization, could not afford to play submachine guns, let alone Li Han, who was poor and white.

Buying a submachine gun was purely instinctive, and even he didn't know when he developed the problem, and as soon as he had money, he wanted to buy weapons.

In the end, Li Han himself felt that it might have been too influenced by later generations, because since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 37 years, there has been a general shortage of weapons and ammunition from the central army to the local army.

This directly led to Li Han's subconscious desire to store more weapons and ammunition, even if he couldn't use them now, save them first, and there would always be a time when they would be useful.

"Of course the guns are fine, but, Lee, you only have a brigade of soldiers, but you are ready to be armed with eighteen hundred submachine guns.

Not to mention the Japanese army, even the army of our German Empire did not have a single division equipped with such a submachine gun, and the consumption of ammunition alone was enough to drag down your financial revenues and expenditures. ”

Will now values Li Han as a partner and does not want him to fall now, not only because Li Han is his lucky star, but more importantly, Li Han is a member of the Chinese military system. (To be continued.) )
