Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Dress up the whole army

The division headquarters of the 81st Division, during the period of the Northwest Army, has been following Zhang Zizhong's confidant and beloved general, who is the current head of the 241st regiment, Tang Guangrui.At this moment, sitting directly opposite Zhang Zizhong with an aggrieved face, and complaining one after another to Mr. Zhang Zizhong in front of him?

"Master, what is this? I really feel aggrieved by you. Before joining the Ninth Army, you were already a lieutenant general when you were in the Northwest Army. To enter the Ninth Army, if nothing else, at least guarantee yourself The military rank will remain the same. However, I never expected that the Ninth Army would directly lower your military rank by one level and become a major general. It is simply too deceiving... >

Compared with the angry leader Tang Guangrui in front of him, Zhang Zizhong seemed much calmer.Under Tang Guangrui's incredulous gaze, he gave the other party a hard look, and then said: "Old Tang, don't talk nonsense, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth...>

Immediately, facing Tang Guangrui, he continued to ask: "Old Tang, you know that among all the division commanders of our Ninth Army, a group of veterans who followed the commander-in-chief first. Xunzhong, are they all military ranks?" The net doesn't skip words. [

"Let me tell you, they are all with the rank of major general. Even Zhang Huxiao, the commander of the security division with three main brigades and a total strength of 3 people, was only awarded the rank of major general. Those of us who have just joined the Ninth Army can compete with these The veterans are equal and have been awarded the rank of major general. What is there to be dissatisfied with...>

"Besides, what are military ranks? In my opinion, these are false. According to the latest promotion system for military ranks within the group army, as long as I want, on the future battlefield, I will make a few more military exploits. The rank of major general will definitely become a lieutenant general immediately. However, you have to be clear about one thing, for us soldiers. The most important thing is not the rank, but the actual military position in the army... >

"Even with the rank of major general, our military position is also a division commander. Look at the main division we are in charge of now, and think about the original main division of the Northwest Army. Isn't it enough?" Net does not skip words.

Facing Zhang Zizhong's repeated rhetorical questions.Although head Tang Guangrui did not speak.but.From the unyielding expression on his face, Zhang Zizhong could clearly feel that there was still a very strong dissatisfaction in Tang Guangrui's heart.

After glaring at the other party again, Zhang Zizhong had no choice but to remind: "Old Tang. Don't blame me for not reminding you. We are now in the Ninth Army, not the Northwest Army. Don't bring the Northwest Army to the Come from within the Ninth Army. You must know that the military law of the Ninth Army is no joke...>

Seeing the disdainful expression on Tang Guangrui's face.For the future of his confidant and beloved general, Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said, "Old Tang, what did you do in the 241 regiment, I don't want to say anything anymore...>

"At the time of this meeting, the General Command just issued a military order: All officers above the regiment level of the Ninth Army. From now on, a new regulation will be implemented. All full-time officers above the regiment level, in a unit The number of years of serving as an officer, except for special circumstances, will not exceed three years. In other words, no matter what kind of CRC you manage the 241 regiment, sooner or later, you will be transferred from the 241 regiment. At that time, if you are allowed to The next head of the regiment found out. You made small moves in the 241st regiment, and embraced a small group. You were stabbed to the higher authority, waiting for you, it must be the Ninth Army’s severe military punishment...>

At this moment, Tang Guangrui was really frightened.As a soldier, he knew very well what was waiting for him once this system was fully implemented within the Ninth Army.A trace of panic finally appeared on the face that was still disdainful just now.Facing Zhang Zizhong, he quickly asked.

"Master, what should I do, you must save me, you must save me...>

Master Zhang Zizhong said with a look of hatred: "Needless to say, if it wasn't for saving you, I would have told you the unannounced news in advance...>

"When I went to Jinan for the meeting this time, I already recommended to the commander-in-chief that you go to the military academy directly under the group army for a year of study. After the study is completed, the headquarters will reassign you according to your grades. You have to be clear, this is your only job." Grasp the opportunity. I will be the head of the regiment, or even the commander of the teacher in the future. Well, go down and prepare well. Wipe away all the little tricks you made in the 241 regiment, and don’t leave any tails behind. The new head of the 241st Regiment dispatched by the headquarters will hand over to you in the 241st Regiment two days later...>

Although Tang Guangrui has not been in the Ninth Army for a long time, he has a certain understanding of the military academy under the Ninth Army where the chief of staff personally serves as the chief of education.It can be said that all officers who have undergone rotation training in the military academy and passed the assessment, without exception, have all been promoted.

Now, his rank is already a colonel.Once you pass the military school rotation training and assessment, your military rank will be directly promoted to a senior colonel.At that time, if he is in the field division, he may serve as the head of the main regiment with the rank of colonel, or as a division-level adjutant.Of course, if you are lucky and are assigned to a local army, you can serve as a division commander as a colonel, and complete the huge leap from regimental commander to division commander in one go.

Thinking of this opportunity that belonged to him, the worries that had just arisen in Tang Guangrui's heart were swept away.With expectations for his own future, he said gratefully to Zhang Zizhong: "Thank you for the cultivation of the master, I must never forget the love of the master... >

When he expressed his loyalty to his subordinates, Zhang Zizhong couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.He opened his mouth and said, "Old Tang, you are wrong. All of this was not given to you by me, Zhang Zizhong, but by the commander-in-chief. Even if you want to thank the commander-in-chief, you must also thank the commander-in-chief and be loyal to the commander-in-chief...>

A few days later, the Ninth Army, which unified the ranks of all officers and soldiers in the entire army, began to formally uniformly change the uniforms of all field troops in the entire army.

Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng gave an order, and trucks full of various weapons and ammunition drove out of the military warehouse in a mighty manner under the command of the guiding officer sent by the group army headquarters, heading towards their final destination. destination.

In the barracks of the 80th Division outside Zaozhuang City, the division commander Gao Shuxun is gathering at the gate of the barracks with all the officers above the regiment level of the division, waiting for the arrival of Colonel Xiong Shaowen, the deputy chief of staff of the general headquarters...>

"Boom...>

"Master, the convoy is here...>

While talking, walk in front of the entire convoy.A truck full of guard troops.With a brake, it suddenly stopped on the road less than 20 meters away from Gao Shuxun.At the same time, the entire convoy stopped because of this.

Teacher Gao Shuxun.Just when I was about to walk to the convoy.The door of the passenger compartment of the leading car has been opened.Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged soldier with the rank of colonel on his shoulders jumped out of the passenger cab.Seeing Gao Shuxun walking towards him, he didn't hesitate at all.Quickly greeted the past.

Although Gao Shuxun's military rank was one rank higher than that of Xiong Shaowen's deputy chief of staff, it was because Xiong Shaowen came from the general staff of the group army.Gao Shuxun saluted a military salute without hesitation, and said, "Chief of Staff Xiong, welcome to my 80th Division to guide our work."

Facing Gao Shuxun's military salute, Xiong Shaowen, who is only a senior colonel, dared not accept it.Quickly returned a military salute, and said: "Mr. Gao, you are serious...>

Now that he had shown his due respect to the people from the headquarters, Gao Shuxun did not waste any more time on this topic.into the barracks.He asked bluntly: "Chief of Staff Xiong, I don't know what order the headquarters gave us, is it a military order about the specific change of troops...>

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen nodded noncommittally, and responded: "Mr. Gao, it is true...>

"Uh...>

Because, in the eyes of Gao Shuxun, the equipment of each level of the Ninth Army is the most perfect even if you look at the whole country.Gao Shuxun had to be surprised that such a perfect equipment had to be changed.He stared directly at a pair of eyes full of doubts, waiting for Xiong Shaowen's answer.

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen did not keep Gao Shuxun waiting too long, pointed at the convoy that had slowly entered the barracks in front of him, and explained: "Mr. A new type of machine gun, used to replace the Czech light machine gun and the Maxine heavy machine gun currently in service in the army...>

"Once this new type of machine gun is equipped with troops, our heavy machine gun troops will be completely eliminated from the army establishment...>

After listening to Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen's explanation, Master Gao Shuxun almost subconsciously asked: "Chief of Staff, what new machine gun is so powerful that it can even replace heavy machine guns?"

Xiong Shaowen smiled, but didn't answer right away.Instead, he turned around and gave a few very mysterious orders to the guards behind him.Under everyone's watchful eyes, several guards quickly rushed to a truck parked not far from everyone.

In less than half a minute, one has a longer and thicker barrel except that there is no magazine... >

Xiong Shaowen pointed to the machine gun on the guard's shoulder, and said, "Mr. Gao, this is the new machine gun...>

The 80th Division's live ammunition shooting range, at the shooting position, the guards with the new machine guns on their shoulders quickly mounted the machine guns on a simple machine gun tripod and fixed them on the sandbags in front of them.Then, the ammunition supplyer who followed behind quickly opened the ammunition box, pulled out the ammunition belt, and inserted it into the ammunition supply compartment very accurately.Holding the magazine with one hand, and the belt hanging between the machine gun and the magazine with the other.

The entire process of feeding the machine gun took only five seconds.Under everyone's dizzying gaze, the machine gunner loaded the machine gun in his hand very skillfully.Then, facing the machine gun target 300 meters away, he pulled the trigger mercilessly.

"Da da da...>

And just when everyone behind them was still immersed in the shock of the power of the machine gun.The entire chain of [-] bullets has been fired by this machine gun.

The gunshots stopped, and Gao Shuxun and others could even see bursts of heat coming out of the gun barrel due to the heat.

Seeing the smiling Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen in front of him, Gao Shuxun suddenly recovered from his astonishment.Because, relying on the piercing eyes that I have cultivated in my decades of military career.Gao Shuxun can be sure.This machine gun will definitely become the overlord on the future battlefield in the near future.

With a strong look of anticipation, he quickly asked: "Chief of Staff Xiong, I wonder if you can introduce the specific data of this new machine gun to us...>

"Of course. After all, this machine gun will soon be equipped with troops..." Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen replied noncommittally.

"After continuous testing and modification by the military industry group, the finalized 'Zhonghua-1930' high-level dual-purpose machine gun is the machine gun you see. After testing, the various data of this machine gun are as follows: The rate of fire is 800~1000 rounds, the effective range of flat shooting is 1200 meters, and the effective range of air-to-air shooting is 1000 meters, using 7>

After some introduction, Master Gao Shuxun became dumbfounded again.Facing the Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen, he said with a look of astonishment: "It's so powerful, it's a shit. With this machine gun, all the heavy machine guns and light machine guns in our hands will really be eliminated... >

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen followed closely and said: "Commander Gao is right, the general headquarters decided to conduct a uniform replacement of all light and heavy machine guns equipped by the entire army after seeing the excellent performance of this machine gun. Pretend...>

"At that time, among all the field troops under the whole army, each main battalion will be equipped with 45 machine guns. In terms of firepower, it has far surpassed an infantry brigade in active service in the Japanese army...>

Seeing the senior officers of the 80th Division in front of them, they were already aroused by the new machine gun in front of them.Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen immediately ordered a guard to take out a "Zhonghua I" semi-automatic rifle that had been equipped with the Special Operations Brigade.In front of everyone, I personally demonstrated this new semi-automatic rifle to everyone... >

With an excited expression on his face, he fiddled with the semi-automatic rifle in his hand back and forth, and from time to time gave out admiration, Mr. Gao Shuxun.Staring at a pair of expectant eyes, he immediately asked a very realistic question: "Chief of Staff Xiong, I don't know how many semi-automatic rifles our 80th Division can equip...>

Xiong Shaowen did not hesitate, and responded directly: "According to the order of the commander-in-chief, the sergeant squad leader and the two sergeant deputy squad leaders of each infantry squad are all equipped with this semi-automatic rifle. Guards, all equipped with this semi-automatic rifle, used to strengthen the firepower of the guards...>

After talking about light weapons, the next step is heavy weapons.

Although Xiong Shaowen, deputy chief of staff, hadn't spoken yet, there were many anti-aircraft guns that he had never seen many of the guns dragged from behind dozens of trucks.Everyone can clearly feel that the various heavy weapons equipped by the 80th Division will also undergo a series of changes.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen did not keep everyone waiting too long, and said very readily: "According to the order of the General Command of the Army Group: All the main field divisions under the Army Group have a field artillery regiment with 36 guns, and a 36-gun artillery regiment. Door-made 37mm anti-aircraft gun battalion...>

"All the main field regiments under the group army have an 18-door mountain artillery battalion and a 12-door 37mm anti-aircraft machine gun company...>

"The field main battalion has a 6-door infantry artillery battery, no anti-aircraft weapons...>

"The field infantry company has a 6-door 82mm caliber medium mortar platoon..."

"After refitting, a field infantry division, in terms of artillery, has a total of 36 75mm caliber field guns, 54 75mm caliber mountain guns, 54 70mm infantry guns, 162 82mm caliber mortars, 72 A 37mm anti-aircraft machine gun."

"The last aspect, after research and decision by the Army Group Headquarters, is to add an armored assault battalion to each main field division. The Zhuangjia assault battalion has a total of one medium tank platoon directly under the battalion headquarters: three medium tanks. One battalion armored command platoon , three armored command vehicles. One light tank company, nine companies of light tanks. Two armored assault companies, each with nine armored assault vehicles...>
