"Naturally, I changed your clothes, do you think that with your current equipment, you can fight against the Japanese army armed to the teeth?" Ma Zhanshan jumped out of a truck at the beginning, although he was more than half a hundred years old, but the spirit of Min Zhanshan, who had endured hardships and paid attention to exercise since childhood, was still very strong.

"Dress-up? How to change it? Sun Zhen and Deng Xihou's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Staff Officer Niu, tell Commander Deng and Commander Sun." Ma Zhanshan said to Niu Dazhi next to him.

"THE PLAN FOR THIS REARMAMENT IS LIKE THIS, AFTER THE FOUR DIVISIONS UNDER THE COMMAND OF COMMANDER DUNG ARE MERGED INTO TWO DIVISIONS, ONE DIVISION OF COMMANDER SUN WILL SUPPLEMENT EACH DIVISION WITH A 12-GUN 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY BATTALION. 36 82MM MORTARS AND 108 60MM MATARS. 8 37MM BATTLE DEFENSE GUNS. 28 heavy machine guns, 100 light machine guns. THE MILITARY HEADQUARTERS OF THE 43RD ARMY OF COMMANDER DENG WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 8 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS, MIXED WITH EIGHT 20MM MACHINE GUNS, AND THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT BATTALION. 30,000 grenades. One million rounds of ammunition and 4,000 rounds of artillery shells of all kinds. Due to the large number of rifles, it could not be completely replaced for a while, and when the conditions were slightly more relaxed in the future, the Sichuan army was fully reloaded. ”

"In terms of individual equipment, a soldier is equipped with two pairs of military rubber shoes, a towel, a pack of tooth powder, a toothbrush, two pairs of cloth socks, and a set of replaceable single military uniforms, a single quilt, and a military backpack for the time being. When the weather turns cold, there will be cotton clothes and fur shoes for warmth. ”

"In addition, due to the increase in artillery and supplies, when you leave Tongguan, you can get 300 towed horses per hour, and another 20 transport trucks will be equipped to solve the transportation problem."

"Roar" Compared with Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen's surprise on his side, the tens of thousands of Sichuan army soldiers had already burst out with earth-shaking cheers at this time.

"Queue. Hurry up and get in line. Cut. Scratch the order and pull it out and hit the twenty military sticks! In the face of the chaotic soldiers, the officers hurriedly stood up to maintain order. Compared with these ordinary soldiers, the officers also received corresponding military boots, leather shoes, as well as prepared pistols, pistol cartridges, and even a small amount of cigarettes specially supplied by the Northwest Army. If these poor and crazy big-headed soldiers go up to rob in a nest of wind, the fun will be great. This is already Longnan. It is the old territory of the Northwest Army, but it is not a place where you can mess around.

"Turtle son, Lao Tzu has been a soldier for so many years, and he has never received so many things in total." A middle-aged strong man carried two pairs of rubber shoes in his hand, and immediately handed over the straw sandals under his feet, and in the envious eyes of other soldiers, the baby put away the shoes and socks.

"Commander Jiang loves us so much, he will fight to the death on the battlefield, and our Sichuan army will fight to the death. Kill the enemy and serve the country! Deng Xihou was quite moved, and the previous resentment that his staff had been reduced was almost diluted at this time. After all, no matter how large the number of subordinates is, but the empty time is serious, just such a small number of soldiers, the Northwest Army directly merged the two divisions into one division, although the interests of some people were moved, resulting in them being demoted to official positions, and even he Deng Xihou was demoted. But this time, so many artillery pieces, light and heavy machine guns, have made their combat power soar by several levels. You must know that when they left Sichuan, they only had an old-fashioned rifle in their hands, and some of them even wore out rifling. Each person has not been allocated two grenades. The soldiers mostly wore tattered straw sandals. A division has a few relatively old mortars, and there are only a few light and heavy machine guns combined, and after this strengthening, it has completely made up for the gap in heavy firepower, and the light and heavy machine guns add up to more than 100, grenades, and bullets have also been greatly supplemented, although the supplementary ordnance is also the guns eliminated by the Northwest Army, but compared to the Sichuan Army, it has already jumped a few steps forward, at least those mortars are still brand new. Where is the poor Sichuan army that is not satisfied.

Even Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen were shocked at this time, not to mention those ordinary soldiers.

"There are also hot-blooded men in the Sichuan army, and the northwest mobilized you to go north to resist the war, so naturally you can't watch the soldiers of the Sichuan army go to death. The commander asked you to go to the battlefield, and naturally he also wanted to see the soldiers survive the battlefield as much as possible. In addition, the commander asked me to bring you a sentence that the combat strength of an army does not lie in the verbal establishment, but in the actual number of troops, weapons and equipment that determine the strength of an army. This is also the reason why the Japanese army is often able to fight several times the army of the Republic of China. Although the northwest has cut your establishment this time, the starting point is also for you, and there are too many establishments and different commands. There will be more soldiers and fewer soldiers, and it will not be a big problem when fighting bandits, but now the enemy is a Japanese army that is far more powerful than us. Again, as long as you fight well on the battlefield and lose as much as you lose, the Northwest will find a way to make up for you, and this time because the scale of the Northwest Army's expansion is too large, the new rifles, field artillery, and heavy mortars are also a little difficult for the time being. However, the output of munitions in the northwest will be greatly increased, and in the meantime, if the Sichuan army has achieved some success, it will not be a problem to replenish the Sichuan army with ordnance in batches and double the current divisional artillery battalion. Ma Zhanshan said.

"Chief of Staff Ma, rest assured, the Sichuan army will fight to the death in the face of the Japanese army!" Sun Zhen patted his chest and said, his resentment was even greater than Deng Xihou's before, and his heart was also balanced a lot at this time, after all, although it was downsized, the number of soldiers had not decreased, and after replenishing these arms, the combat strength of his 41st division had doubled.

"No wonder the Northwest Army has always been known as the strongest army in the Republic of China, just this foundation, even if it is the Central Army, I am afraid it will be a lot worse." After Ma Zhanshan left, Sun Zhen couldn't help but say.

"DO YOU THINK THAT THE DIVISIONAL ARTILLERY REGIMENT OF THE FIRST-LINE DIVISION OF THE NORTHWEST ARMY IS A STANDARD 54 75MM CANNONS, AND I HEARD THAT IT IS AN IMITATION OF THE GERMAN, AND ITS POWER IS A FEW POINTS STRONGER THAN THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY OF THE SAME CALIBER. The number of field guns was 18 guns. It is a second-line division, at least a 36-gun divisional artillery regiment. OUR 75MM MOUNTAIN CANNON WAS BROUGHT OVER FROM THE NORTHEAST AND ELIMINATED FOR US. But those light and heavy machine guns, mortars are in very good condition. "Deng Xihou has been dealing with the Northwest Army for a long time, and because of his status, he knows more than Sun Zhen.

"Even if it's a leftover from someone else, it's not bad. On the battlefield, the final rule is a little more money to save your life. We have just gone north, do we expect to be regarded as a descendant of the Northwest Army all of a sudden? If you go to Nanjing, you can get half of the benefits, thank God. Contrary to his previous attitude, Sun Zhen said good things about the northwest at this time.

"That's right, when we go to Nanjing, most of the head will be taken away by Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, and Erliu eats meat, so we may not even have soup to drink. Besides, this Nanjing is not as good as the Northwest Army in terms of armament, so what can we do to help us. Even some of their descendants are difficult to equip one division with 12 mountain cannons," Deng Xihou smiled coldly. (To be continued.) )
