Ma Zheng did not send a telegram to equip, but the central government could not help but consider the ideas of Ma Zheng and others, after all, since the establishment of the Saibei Corps, the weapons and equipment allocated by the central government from the Saibei Corps and the formed troops were enough to form a group army, which made the Party Central Committee very embarrassed.

Now that the central government has received tens of thousands of new rifles, if the cake is not divided into the northern part of the corps, I am afraid that the entire northern corps will have opinions against the central authorities.

Moreover, this batch of US aid was also won back by the Saibei Corps, and if it had not been for the Saibei Corps' surprise attack on Weifang County, the rescue of thousands of expatriates from the United States, Britain, and other countries, and at the same time exposing the conspiracy of the Japanese imperial family, the Americans probably would not have cared about the Chinese Communists.

Therefore, no matter which aspect is considered, the opinions of Ma Zheng and the entire Saibei Corps are extremely important.

On October 28, the chairman sent a telegram to ask Ma Zheng's opinion, asking Ma Zheng if he had any thoughts about this batch of weapons and equipment.

Ma Zheng's answer was very simple, he had no idea, if the central government had no opinion, all the submachine guns in this batch of US aid could be transferred to the Saibei Corps, as for those rifles and machine guns, forget it.

This is not to say that Ma Zheng doesn't want that batch of sophisticated American goods, but because the weapons and equipment of the Northern Saibei Corps are dazzling enough, and it is really not easy to increase American goods.

There are three main types of rifles that the troops of the Northern Saibei Corps are equipped with, the first of which is the Japanese 38 Dagai, which is the main weapon of the Saibei Corps. The second is the domestic formal, which is equipped with many rifles in the major units of the Northern Saibei Corps; The third is the self-produced assault rifle, which has about 16 infantry regiments in the Northern Serbian Corps, and the number is also quite impressive.

The trouble is that the caliber of these three types of guns and ammunition is not compatible with each other, and it is very troublesome to supply them in a war. If you equip some American goods, it will be even more troublesome, so Ma Zheng thinks about it or doesn't want it.

Moreover, only when these US weapons and equipment are used in a centralized manner can they exert their maximum power, and once they are dispersed, their power will be greatly reduced.

Sometimes I have to admire the carefulness of the Americans, who either don't help you, or help you to send them to the West.

They also know that the current industrial level of the CCP simply cannot support the consumption of so much American weapons and equipment, so they specially supported two ammunition production lines. And the same ammunition production line they supported the Nationalist Government 15, anyway, Roosevelt's meaning is very clear, the production line of weapons and equipment must not be given to China in vain, whether it is the Chinese central government or the local warlord government.

But the Chinese cannot be allowed to lose the war with American weapons, ammunition must be in sufficient supply, anyway, bullets do not have any technical content, even if the production line is sent to them.

On the one hand, because the number of submachine guns wanted by the Saibei Corps was very large, and with the firing speed of the submachine guns, the consumption of ammunition was not like running water, and if there was no reliable ammunition replenishment channel, the more than 1,200 submachine guns would probably not only not strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops, but would also become a burden.

On the other hand, the industrial production capacity of the Saibei Corps is obvious to all, and the production capacity of the Baotou Arsenal is basically ten times that of the Arsenal in the border area, not counting the other four major arsenals of the Saibei Corps and a large number of small arsenals.

The chairman and others clearly remembered that when they inspected Ma Zheng's headquarters, the Baotou Arsenal could produce all the equipment needed for a reinforced company in one day, and if the raw materials were sufficient, the Baotou Arsenal alone would be able to produce the weapons and equipment needed by an infantry division in a month.

Since you have taken other people's ammunition production lines, then when other troops are short of ammunition in the future, you Ma Zheng can get strong support, and your rights and obligations are equal.

The matter on the US side has not yet been completed, and the Soviet Union has also sent a telegram, saying that it will also provide assistance to the Northern Serbian Corps with a batch of weapons and equipment, and it has already arrived at the Sino-Mongolian border and can be handed over at any time.

However, the Soviets are different from the Americans, the Americans are very simple, they just give for nothing. The Soviets were different, they had conditions attached, and only by accepting their additional conditions could they get their hands on this batch of weapons and equipment.

And the conditions of the Soviets were also very harsh, that is, Ma Zheng's troops wanted to hold the Japanese army in the northeast for half a year at all costs, and the shortest could not be less than three months.

Of course, the price paid for holding off the Kwantung Army for half a year was also considerable, so the Soviet Union also showed its sincerity.

After reading this list, Ma Zheng's first feeling was shock, and the second feeling was shock, all the equipment of the entire five infantry divisions, including artillery and tanks.

At this time, Ma Zheng still knew a little about the situation in the Soviet Union, and in the old Chinese saying, it was difficult for the mud bodhisattvas to cross the river, and even they themselves had to be assisted by the Americans. Especially after the loss of the industrial areas in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union also had a big gap in its own weapons and equipment, and the number of weapons and equipment that assisted the Northern Serbian Corps was huge enough to equip 100,000 people, what did the Soviets think?

In particular, the worst model of the 450 tanks was the BT-7 light tank, and even 50 T-34 main battle tanks in service in the Soviet Union, which were so far the hegemon of the European theater and the real king of land warfare before the German Leopard tank appeared.

After the joy, Ma Zheng fell into deep thought, what did the Soviet Union want to do? After thinking about it, Ma Zheng only thought of one possibility, that is, the Soviets would make a big move soon.

Immediately, Ma Zheng's thoughts wandered for a long time in the Far East and the European battlefield, and finally combined with the current time, Ma Zheng finally determined that the Soviets were going to launch the final counteroffensive in Ukraine in the south of the Soviet Union.

It seems that Stalin has confidence in victory, but at the same time he is still worried that the 800,000 Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in northeast China will come out to make trouble, although the 39-year Battle of Nomenkan has proved that the Japanese are not as strong as they boast, and their bushido spirit is simply vulnerable to Soviet tanks and artillery.

However, because of this, in recent years, the Kwantung Army has made great progress in terms of strength and weaponry, and the number of troops has soared from 220,000 to 800,000 now, and a large number of artillery brigades and regiments have been formed, as well as tank divisions.

On the other hand, the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Red Army has hardly developed, and is not even as strong as it was in 1939, because during these two years a large number of elite troops were transferred back to the Western Front via the Trans-Siberian Railway.

At present, there are less than 300,000 old, weak, sick and new recruits left in the Far Eastern Military District, and although it still looks strong on the surface, it is actually a paper tiger with nothing on the surface.

It was precisely because of their fear of the Kwantung Army in the Northeast that the Soviets thought of their little brothers in China and hoped that the CCP would send troops to contain the Kwantung Army.

However, the Soviets did not think that the CCP had the capital to compete with the Kwantung Army, so they thought of supporting the CCP in weapons and equipment, all in all, the Soviets' equipment was not so simple on the surface, in Ma Zheng's words, it was a thorny rose, although it was extremely beautiful, but it was not so easy to eat.

Ma Zheng is a strategist, combined with some historical knowledge, he made a detailed analysis of the US-Soviet relations, US-Japan relations, Soviet-Japanese relations, and Sino-Soviet Sino-Japanese relations on this matter, and then Ma Zheng came to a conclusion, which can be taken advantage of.

Just as the Japanese did not believe in the Soviets, Stalin did not trust the Japanese. The Kwantung Army had always been a sharp sword on Stalin's head, and Stalin did not believe that the Japanese would form such a large army only to deal with the anti-Japanese guerrillas hiding in the mountains and forests.

At the most critical moment of the return to Ukraine, Stalin would not allow any mistakes, and any mistake could lead to the undoing of all efforts. So Stalin thought of China, of the Chinese general who had beaten hundreds of thousands of Japanese elites and abandoned his armor.
