Rebirth of the National Marshal
Chapter 85 Large Arms Sales
"Woo..." A shell from the Type 92 infantry gun fell on the position of the security regiment. What surprised the Japanese devils on the opposite side was that the soldiers of the security regiment on the opposite side did not fire any shells. It was not like this before. As long as one of our shells fell on their position, there would be more than a dozen shells coming immediately.
"They ran away! Look, the soldiers of the security regiment ran away. We drove them away." A colonel shouted happily, and other officers also stood up happily to command the soldiers to occupy the positions where there were no security regiment soldiers anymore.
When had the Japanese soldiers fallen to such a state that they would be so happy just to occupy an unguarded position?
Newcomers always don't understand. They think these cheering people have brought shame to the Imperial Japanese Army. But the veterans who have fought here for several days tell these new recruits, what would you think if you knew that more than 6000 people have died in this small area?
From the 4th Division to the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If this security regiment still did not retreat here, they would really lose all their face. By then, not only would the commander of the th Division be replaced, but the North China Expeditionary Army might also have to undergo a major reshuffle.
Although they took the initiative to retreat, you just have to believe what we say about the battlefield. Your people in the rear have not come to the front to see. Besides, whether they are retreating in a regular manner or in a rout depends on our words. They are what we say.
In short, the Japanese people saw a photo of a dozen Japanese soldiers waving their military flags while occupying the security group's position.
Itamoto Seishirō, who had just taken office for less than two days, had defeated this troublesome security group. He could be said to have gained the most. Immediately, a medal awarded by His Majesty the Emperor himself was airlifted to North China. Some people even praised this guy as the star of the Army.
This guy was a little bit arrogant. He even believed the lies he told and even thought that it was his army that defeated the Security Corps. Only the veterans of the 4th Division knew that many of their old brothers who came from their hometown together died here forever.
During the retreat, more than 10,000 Northwest Army and Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers were captured by the Japanese devils. However, because there were still thousands of Japanese civilians in the capital, they did not massacre the prisoners on a large scale, but simply put them into prisoner-of-war camps.
The Japanese North China Expeditionary Force proudly announced that they had occupied Tianjin and the capital was just around the corner.
The central government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced that it would fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the capital, but most people did not have much confidence.
The central government dispatched 11 divisions of troops into the area around the capital to fight a defensive battle with the Japanese devils.
The number of troops in the area around the capital reached 20.
The Shanxi Suiyuan Army also sent out five divisions of troops. These five divisions were completely different from the last one. All of them were fully staffed, with more than 100 people in each division. The last reinforcement from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army was defeated and lost its logistics supply station. Yan Laoxi felt very embarrassed, but the most important thing was that his actual interests were about to be violated because Japanese planes had flown into his defense zone and dropped several bombs.
Shanxi people know how to do business from birth. This guy considers all aspects very clearly. If his own interests were not harmed, why would he send out his several ace divisions? It is always better to fight on someone else's territory than in one's own defense zone.
The troops that came over brought almost all of the heavy weapons in Commander Yan's area, so there were not many heavy weapons left in Shanxi.
Commander Yan, the local rich man, immediately thought of the security corps in the capital. Their weapons and equipment were very good, so he immediately drew up a military purchase list. You know, Commander Yan's financial resources are much stronger than that of the 29th Army.
"I've heard that our Commander Yan is rich, but I didn't expect he is so rich. He basically orders all the weapons we have." Mao Yuanshan, who had retreated to the outskirts of the capital, said to several officers under his command with a smile while holding the military purchase list sent by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Commander, our Chief Yan comes from a wealthy family. He has a lot of land and houses. Who would believe you if you said he has no money?" Zhang Dashan knew a lot about Chief Yan.
Yan Laoxi has a military factory in Shanxi, but it can only produce some light weapons such as rifles and machine guns. As for artillery, it can only produce some small artillery with a caliber of 60mm.
These things are fine if we are fighting a civil war in our country, but they are not worth mentioning if we are facing the Japanese.
Even though the 29th Army of the Northwest Army purchased a lot of infantry guns and mortars from Mao Yuanshan, it did not pose much threat to the Japanese army. It could only resist for a little longer than in history.
But even so, it still attracted Yan Laoxi's attention.
Because of the massive attack by the Japanese army, Yan Laoxi held a large-scale military expansion meeting within the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army newly formed ten reorganized infantry divisions.
In the past, the central government would certainly condemn such a large-scale military expansion by local warlords, and the Ministry of Military Affairs would not provide any support. However, now the Japanese offensive capability has been revealed. 17 troops surrounded Tianjin for half a month, but failed to hold the entire line and retreated, leaving behind nearly 6 casualties.
In fact, this loss is much less than that in the past. In the past, the North China War Zone lost more than 100,000 people. Now the loss is less than half of that time, and the time of holding out is also much longer, which has caused considerable trouble to the Japanese.
"The main thing Commander Yan bought was our large-caliber heavy machine guns. He can also produce rifles and other things." Xie Tianhua took a look.
No matter in this era or the future, as long as we can produce something ourselves, we will not buy it from others. We can drive economic growth in our own area by producing it ourselves. However, ten divisions of troops are still too many. The arsenal under Commander Yan may not have such a large output. Now the Japanese devils are approaching Shanxi.
2 M1000 large-caliber heavy machine guns, 500 Maxim heavy machine guns, 1500 Czech light machine guns, 300 Type 81 mortars, 100 Type 300MM mortars, 50 Type 100 infantry guns, each equipped with 1 rounds of ammunition, Suomi submachine guns, Mauser pistols, and Mauser rifles.
"The commander has calculated 1870 million oceans." Everyone was surprised by this figure. You know, in this era, it was not a small matter for the central government to take out so much money to purchase arms at once. No one expected that a local warlord would be so rich.
"Commander Yan is really our big customer. Reply over there and we will give them another 100 million bullets of various types." Mao Yuanshan said proudly. But these are all our own people. Your 100 million bullets are not enough for even a few days of training. You seem generous on the surface, but you are actually very stingy. They want goods worth 2000 million oceans from you.
"What are you all looking at? Don't you know that my life is not easy now? I have nearly 5 men under my command, and each of them gets ten dollars a month, which means 50 dollars in military pay a month. And look at you guys, you fight with great joy, throwing bullets and shells like they are free. After a battle, everyone will make millions of dollars." Seeing that his subordinates thought he was stingy, Mao Yuanshan quickly poured out his own suffering.
Everyone thought about it and agreed. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the bullets for the large-caliber heavy machine gun. 50 rounds of this kind of stuff cost ten dollars. If a machine gunner is excited, he can fire 2000 rounds a day, which is hundreds of dollars.
Although they didn't know how much a 100mm mortar shell cost, according to estimates, such a shell would cost at least 100 oceans. The last time at Tianjin Railway Station, more than 900 such shells were fired in an hour, which is nearly 10 oceans. It was only an hour, but the Japanese devils also left behind hundreds of people.
If you calculate it this way, the 2000 million dollars would not be enough to squander for a few days.
Yan Laoxi also proposed to purchase 100mm mortars, but this thing is a groundbreaking product. It is impossible for anyone other than his own army to use it. Compared with the 100mm US howitzer, this 105mm mortar is a little stronger than his. Except for the shorter range, the explosive power is much stronger than that.
With this batch of weapons, and with the supplies accumulated in her own arsenal, Yan Laoxi's army was able to equip the ten divisions of troops. Although the number of artillery pieces was still a little small, it was much better than before.
"Notify Commander Yan that the goods can be delivered." He didn't see his boss contacting anyone, but in a few days he would have to notify Shanxi to pick up the goods. This batch of arms would require a full division of troops to escort it back.
After all, the materials involved are worth 2000 million yuan. If anything goes wrong, it will be bad for both parties.
During the handover, something happened that even Mao Yuanshan had not expected. Because Commander Yan did not have enough silver dollars, he sent people to drive several thousand fat pigs. In addition to this, there were also a lot of poultry and eggs.
These goods were worth 200 million silver dollars.
This is only the case if we encounter the security corps. If we encounter other warlords, they will definitely not accept these things, because in the eyes of those warlords, arms are much more valuable than these things. I can get these things as long as I send soldiers there for a few days.
But for Mao Yuanshan, these 200 million silver dollars worth of goods are only enough for me to consume for one month.
The soldiers' food needs to be improved and their lives need to be enriched, so purchasing large quantities of daily necessities is the most important thing the Security Corps Procurement Department needs to do now.
The supplies in the capital area are not so abundant, and because of the Japanese army approaching, many people have fled to other places with their families. It is inevitable that there are some deficiencies in business. These supplies from Commander Yan are timely rain. The soldiers must also eat some fresh meat. They will get bored if they always eat canned meat. #####I opened my eyes and saw that yesterday's rewards were so awesome. Thanks to the 188 book beans from the fighting cat, and 28 buddies with the naked smoking doll avatar, as well as the buddy with the Zhuo Bolin avatar, and another one, the buddy with the ancient avatar. Your names all have numbers, so why not express it this way, haha. Please forgive me. I will continue to add one more section today. In the future, as long as there are rewards every day, I will add one more section. If the total number exceeds book beans, I will continue to add more. Thank you for your support. Those who don’t have book beans can support in the comment area. I will add more chapters every day if there are more than comments. I will never break my promise.
