Chapter Ninety-Eight: Small Groups

"Chief of Staff, are all these weapons and equipment for us?" Xue Quzhi asked in disbelief.

Yang Yi looked at Xue Quzhi and the others who were shocked, and said with a smile: "After inspecting your teaching brigade yesterday, I thought that there was still some gap between the weapons and equipment of your teaching brigade and other units of our 61st Army, so I instructed the logistics department to immediately change your equipment. ”

"Does the chief of staff mean that the equipment of the other units of our 61st Army is all such a complete Japanese equipment?" Shi Jianfei couldn't help but ask.

"That's not it, our 61st Army has three infantry divisions, an air defense brigade, a guard regiment, and an independent cavalry, most of these units are German armament troops, mainly Mauser rifles and Maxim machine guns, and the artillery is mainly based on Krupp mountain guns, and only a small number of troops are using Japanese-made weapons. However, due to the rapid expansion of the troops, the exhaustion of the family funds before the war, and the fact that the German-made equipment purchased through loans from banks in various countries had been exhausted, the inferior Japanese-made equipment had to be distributed to your teaching brigade as a last resort. Yang Yi said endlessly.

Shi Jianfei and the others were completely speechless this time, what is going on with this Nima, they are the elite of the Central Army, the descendants of Chairman Jiang, all the weapons and equipment are the best in China, and the firepower configuration of all Chinese formal rifles and a company of two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun is already luxurious in China, but I didn't expect to be despised by a unit upgraded by a local security regiment here.

"Chief of Staff, may I ask if these Japanese equipment were also bought by the military seat? What about the equipment we replaced? Shi Jianfei continued to ask.

"Buy? Gunza's favorite is German-made weapons and equipment, followed by American goods, and even if he has money, he will not buy these broken copper and iron from Japan. Let me tell you the truth, these weapons and equipment were all captured in the war against Japan, and in a short period of four months, our 61st Army fought three major battles with the Japanese army, and each time it defeated the little devils and annihilated many units of the Japanese army at the brigade level, company level, and brigade level in an organized manner, and captured countless weapons and equipment. ”

Yang Yi's words once again made Shi Jianfei and others petrified, Nima's, this world is too crazy, the official rifle is actually used by the militia troops, is there a mistake, many regular troops of the national army are still using rifles such as Hanyang-made, Yingqiqi, etc., like the Sichuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, even if it is such an old-fashioned rifle, it can't be done for each person, and even the militia troops can be equipped with a formal one here, if this Nima makes Liu Xiang, He Jian and other bigwigs know that they are not angry and vomit blood.

"Not only must your weapons and equipment be changed, but even your uniforms and flags must be changed. The military uniform of our 61st Army is a forest camouflage uniform, and the military flag is a steppe wolf battle flag, and the military uniform is now you make do with it like this, now the army is expanding, and the overtime work of the clothing factory is not enough for the troops, and General Sui Jinguang, the minister of logistics, has already coordinated for you, and the 8,000 escaped cotton uniforms will be sent to your teaching brigade in half a month. Yang Yi said.

"Chief of Staff, this military uniform is nothing, after all, the whole army is the kind of yellow and green military uniform, and it is nothing if we change it. But I don't think this military flag is necessary, we are government troops, and I am afraid that it is not polite to change to other military flags, right? Xue Quzhi said with a frown.

"I think you misunderstood, I used to work in the Northwest Army, and I know that your military flag is the national flag, but here it is different, the national flag is the national flag, and the military flag is the military flag. The national flag is only used on official occasions, and it is a symbol of national sovereignty as it is planted on the head of the city. However, the military flag is generally used in the army, and the national flag is higher than the military flag in terms of specifications, and the flag bearer is generally 12 people, and the military flag is 8 people, so you must pay attention to these. Yang Yi said.

"In addition, I have read the four rules and regulations that I sent a few days ago, they were formulated by the military seat himself, and they must be strictly enforced. Not only you, but even the guard unit of the military seat itself must strictly enforce it, and there is no unit in the 61st Army that can flout these norms and regulations, and perhaps one day the military seat itself will bring people to your teaching brigade for a surprise inspection. Yang Yi reminded.

"Thank you Chief of Staff for reminding me, to be honest, although those norms and regulations are cumbersome, as a soldier, I still know the role of those norms, I really didn't expect the military seat to be able to formulate such strict regulations, it's really not simple!" Xue Quzhi said with emotion.

"Don't be emotional, although the military seat is young, his ability is far greater than you think." After speaking, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile.

After Yang Yi left, Xue Quai, Shi Jianfei and other officers transferred from the Central Army held a meeting at the brigade headquarters of the teaching brigade.

"Brother Jianfei, what do you think?" Xue Quzhi asked with a frown.

"Brother Xue, the pool of water in the 61st Army is very deep, I can't understand it!" Shi Jianfei said with a sigh.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief Hu asked us to mix sand, but now the soup is soup and water, where to mix sand. They didn't separate us at all, the 61st Army's big plate didn't move at all, and we were so many people that we were stuffed with more than 2,000 people, and this task was not easy to complete! Xue Qu said with a sad face.

"Brother Xue, this is nothing, I see that the more than 2,000 people sent by the military department have no other meaning, those 2,000 people are ordinary soldiers, not even a second lieutenant officer, I think the formation of the military seat teaching brigade does not necessarily really train us as the backbone, but it is definitely not wrong to enhance our strength, otherwise we would not have sent so many weapons and equipment today, you must know that these equipment are enough to arm a division of local troops." Shi Jianfei analyzed.

"Brother Jianfei makes sense, we have met an opponent this time, and Miss Song's progress doesn't seem to be going very well, I heard that Miss Yan treats Miss Song to death, it's really a headache!" Xue Quzhi covered his forehead and said.

Shi Jianfei thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not necessary, how many years have we been in the Central Army, some things don't have to be so complicated." Although Commander-in-Chief Hu instructed us to go to the 61st Army to mix sand and even put Chen Feng in the air when necessary, he was worried that Commander Chen would not obey the command of the central authorities because he would support his own troops, and this was an area where the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party had frequent activities, and Commander-in-Chief Hu was worried that the 61st Army would be co-opted by the Communist Party. But if this Commander Chen is really bent on resisting Japan, we can't pull him back, otherwise we will not only be sorry for the military uniform on our bodies, but also sorry for the thousands of ordinary people in the world. ”

"Brother Jianfei, I don't understand this truth, otherwise how could such a thing fall on you and my brother. In fact, both the committee and Commander-in-Chief Hu also knew that in the face of an anti-Japanese hero like Commander Chen, they could only adopt such a gentle means as mixing sand to divide and win over them, and once they took drastic measures, it was likely to backfire, otherwise Miss Song would not have come here, and they would not have put Miss Meng Yao in a dangerous place. ”

"Then let's say okay, we are a small group within the 61st Army, but we are one with the 61st Army in the face of the Japanese puppet army. As long as Chen Feng does not do anything harmful to the interests of the party and the state, we will not hold him back. Shi Jianfei said in a deep voice.

"That's it, but we still have to report every move of the 61st Army to the commission, I went to see Miss Song a few days ago, and she told me that the 61st Army is far from being as simple as we imagined. Although the three infantry divisions under the jurisdiction of the 61st Army are not yet full, the total number of troops in the entire 61st Army has exceeded 50,000, and this is not counting our teaching brigade, if we are added, it will be more than a group army of the Central Army. You can see it today, everyone is all German equipment, Japanese equipment people still can't look down on it, think about what is the concept of more than 60,000 troops armed with German equipment, no wonder the little devils have suffered one after another in their hands. Xue went to the sick road.

"In the past few days, I have also been observing this 61st Army, and I have also tried to make contact with the officers of the 61st Army, and I have found that these officers from the mud legs, whom we somewhat despise, are not as vulgar as we imagined. Each of them seems to have their own set of opinions on leading troops into battle, and perhaps many of them do not know what the elevation angle of artillery is, and some of them may not even know the most basic map work, but they are not laymen in terms of operational command. Especially Commander Chen Feng, this person gives me a really contradictory feeling. Shi Jianfei said with a frown.

"There are indeed some contradictions, you have read those few books of rules and regulations, I heard that they were written by Commander Chen himself. Do you think that a person who has not attended a military school and has not received a systematic military education can write something like that? What are you kidding, everything from military secrecy to soldiers' clothing, sleep, and meals is written in such detail and clearly, even those instructors in our Whampoa are not at this level. Xue went to the sick road.

"Forget it, no matter. Now the national disaster is at the head, our main responsibility is to protect the family and defend the country, this is not Guanzhong, this is the forefront of the War of Resistance, although the task assigned by the peak can not be slack, but we can't affect the overall situation because of those bullshit things, one is not careful, it will lose its head. Shi Jian Fei said.

"I'm not afraid of losing my head, I'm worried that I will be poked in the backbone after death, and I won't be able to enter the ancestral grave after death." Xue went to the sick road.

Dealing with anti-Japanese heroes like Chen Feng and the anti-Japanese war powerhouse like the 61st Army, Xue Quzhi and Shi Jianfei felt a lot of pressure, this shot is light and useless, and if it is heavy, it may be unfavorable to the overall situation of the war, once they lose the war because of them, then they will become sinners of the nation, so these two elite pillars of the party-state are quite entangled.
