Chapter 63 Arms Support

Yang Yuanzhao doesn't care about a battalion of arms, Feng Yuxiang is the deputy head of the battalion, and he has been doing it for several years, when he was in Zhengzhou before, I didn't hear that he was going to the Northeast, that bitter cold place, but it was a good place for military training, obviously, Feng Yuxiang was preparing to be a formal military officer, and in a vast and sparsely populated place like the Northeast, there was the possibility of independent development.

Now Yang Yuanzhao, is not Yang Yuanzhao who knows nothing about anything, Yuan Shikai began the layout in the Northeast, last year sent his subordinate Xu Shichang to the Northeast, Feng Yuxiang in the past, must be to enrich the strength of the Beiyang Army, go to the next level, is the battalion management belt, the northeast side of the Tiangao Emperor is far away, not far from Baotou, through the Inner Mongolia grassland, it seems to be a good choice, maybe, can cooperate with each other, under the turn of thought, he blurted out: "It's just a battalion of equipment." , I gave? ”

A battalion of the Beiyang Army, almost more than 500 people, 500 full sets of equipment, each person, at least 150-200 yuan, almost about 100,000 yuan, this is not only Feng Yuxiang clear, Yang Yuanzhao also understands, after the opening of the German and American army, just like this whole battalion of equipment, he sold at least 34 sets, under the situation of a lot of money in his hand, his hand suddenly became bigger, and he was an investment in future celebrities, of course, without hesitation.

"No way?" Feng Yuxiang was anxious and said.

"It's nothing, it's just a battalion's equipment, it's nothing!" Yang Yuanzhao said nonchalantly, in a sense, the current Yang Yuanzhao's, in terms of strength, is much more than before, Harpy is really a good businessman, in less than a week, almost 20,000 guns have been sold, which is close to more than 1.5 million funds, this fund is enough for everything, not to mention, there is a large amount of gold and silver, enough for his initial start-up capital, in which to take out a batch, but 500 sets, at most let the all-in-one machine overtime.

Zhang Jingjiang has been looking at Yang Yuanzhao since he came in, to be honest, he is very strange, Yang Yuanzhao can't see anything, obviously, he is not a member of the Alliance, nor is he a supporter, because since he saw himself, he only greeted him twice, but Feng Yuxiang, the little person in the Alliance, has been valued by him, just by virtue of his relationship with Feng Yuxiang, he has supported 100,000 yuan, although in the history of the Alliance, there have been several times when he received more than 100,000 yuan. But all of them are famous figures, a little-known little person, who can be so generous.

"Okay, don't fight with me, Brother Congyun, you help me call Harpy in, and I will implement this matter immediately!" Yang Yuanzhao said resolutely.

"Good!" Shi Congyun went out immediately, but Feng Yuxiang was a little uncomfortable, to be honest, when he met this little brother, he got benefits from him, the pickpocket, the rifle, and now the equipment of the whole battalion, he was a little reluctant in his heart, but such an opportunity, he seemed to be seized, maybe it was the foundation of his life in the Northeast.

Harpy soon came in and walked in front of Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao didn't put up a fight, and said: "This is the senior class of Germany and the United States, I am not very familiar with the affairs of the army, so let him make a list, Mr. Harpy, list the equipment of our current integrated battalion!" ”

The equipment of the integrated battalion, these Harpys have done a lot during this time, looking at Yang Yuanzhao's meaning, it must be the highest, thought for a while and said: "According to the 809 people in the first battalion, a total of 800 ...... is needed"

"Wait, Mr. Harpy, what kind of battalion are you talking about?" Feng Yuxiang asked in some surprise.

"Of course it's an ordinary infantry team!"

Feng Yuxiang smiled bitterly, a battalion of 809 people, that is the establishment of the third town, even in the exemplary third town, not every standard has such a foot team, his old background is the Wuwei Army, basically a battalion of 500 soldiers, just this number, it is difficult to be full, most of them are only three or five hundred people, and even some battalions, including the people!

Yang Yuanzhao didn't know much about the military system, and only said that there were more than 800 people in one battalion, and said with a slight smile: "What, Brother Huanzhang wants to eat empty salary!" ”

"How is that possible!"

"That's not the end, Brother Huanzhang don't have to worry, I'll leave the weapon matter to me, you can watch Harpy arrange it!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly, nodding and motioning for Harpy to continue.

Feng Yuxiang had no choice, but Zhang Jingjiang was observing from the side, and did not speak, Harpy glanced at Yang Yuanzhao and began to talk to himself, sure enough, Harpy arranged it, even the people had rifles, and in a battalion, the number of rifles was finally determined to be 1200, of which it was an elite infantry battalion, 809 people, and about 500 people, all of them were equipped with guns, each with a rifle, and the infantry battalion was a new Mauser 1898, and the people also used the committee 1888, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

In addition to the rifle, there are 12 Makqin, this number, not to mention Feng Yuxiang, even Zhang Jingjiang was moved, as a high-level member of the League who cares about the revolution, Zhang Jingjiang is very clear about the role of Makqin, but even in the Beiyang Army, there are only 24 in each town, and there are a little more in the third town, and the number is limited.

Finally, among the weapons, there are 120 pistols, as well as 180 Mauser 1904 at the battalion headquarters, this is the latest Mauser gun, there are few in the whole of Shanghai, but as long as there is one, Yang Yuanzhao can copy it, these guns are to form the special service company of the battalion headquarters, and there are more than 1500 guns!

Feng Yuxiang was stunned, he was a man with soldiers, and he knew very well that if a battalion had such a firepower representative, it would only be artillery fire, and if there was artillery, this battalion could not be called a battalion.

"Harpy, why don't you have a cannon, why don't you get 10 75 mountain cannons!" Yang Yuanzhao also said a little indifferently, the mountain artillery and field artillery he made have not been sold much for the time being, and a few of them were asked for by the Nanjing New Army, and the rest were mostly greedy, but in fact, there were very few people who paid for it.

Harpy opened his mouth and was about to speak, Feng Yuxiang couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "Brother Yuanzhao, you spare me, you can't ask for a cannon!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao was dazed for a while, looking at Feng Yuxiang and didn't know what to say, and Shi Congyun, who was the most daring and the most able to benefit from the next side, also stood up at this time and said: "A battalion, 1,500 guns, how can you cover up the past, it's a big deal to hide a little and hide a batch, but this thing is a cannon, there are only dozens of guns in a town, let's get 10 guns, we can't cover it up, besides, where to get gunners!" ”

Under Shi Congyun's explanation, Yang Yuanzhao knew that it turned out that in the Beiyang Army, the artillery was absolutely different from the usual big-headed soldiers, and they almost enjoyed the treatment of officers, elite gunners, they were definitely the top of a unit, I am afraid that the battalion officers below were not as eye-catching as the gunners, and the standard commanders and even the co-commanders would know directly.

"That's it!" Yang Yuanzhao thought about it, so he had to give up, and said instead: "Then I'll give you 10 Makqin, this thing should be able to cover up!" ”

"This!" Feng Yuxiang hesitated.

"Okay, Feng Tou, take it, 10 Makqin, this bullet consumes a bit too much!" Shi Congyun hurriedly helped.

"It's okay, Harpy, get 30 base ammo!"

Shi Congyun couldn't say a word at this time, the Harpy next to him was stunned, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound, 30 bases, which is a lot, generally speaking, a rifle has a base a little less, with a base of 40 rounds, a rifle gives 1200 rounds, but a metal ripper like Makqin, a base is 1000 rounds, 30,000 rounds, 22 rounds, is 660,000 machine gun bullets, this is a huge number, enough for one or two to win a war.

"Yuan Zhao, this is too much!" Feng Yuxiang said a little embarrassed, he knows very well that for the army, the purchase of equipment is just a one-time investment, to strengthen training, to ensure combat effectiveness, follow-up training will continue, this training will consume guns and bullets, especially the latter, East Asia, including the Japanese army, Makqin and other automatic weapons are rarely equipped with the reason, that's it, bullets can't be hit.

"Not much, if it's not the first time, I will even prepare 100 bases, but Brother Huan Zhang, please rest assured, I have packed the ammunition of your infantry team, isn't it just millions of rounds of ammunition, I gave it, but there is a request, Brother Huan Zhang must agree to me!"
