Chapter 678 I gave all the weapons I didn't need to the 9th War Zone
War Zone Commander: “It would definitely not have been possible three days ago, but now the situation has changed, they have to agree even if they don’t agree.
The United States was ambushed by the Japanese navy, and they also wanted to cooperate with us to hold back the Japanese army.
But there is a prerequisite here, they also have to see our strength.
If you are satisfied with our strength, then we can have a cooperative relationship.
If they are not satisfied with our strength, they can provide weapons and officers, and we can only provide soldiers.
By then, the command of tens of thousands of soldiers will probably belong to America.
The bigwigs in the attendant's room attach the most importance to military power, how could they tolerate this?
Such a thing happened right under my nose.
So I said, with their two divisions here, we can give an answer that will satisfy the Allies.
Another thing is that by using the positions of two army commanders, one may be able to gain the loyalty of two division commanders.
It is also possible to gain the loyalty of 80,000 soldiers, which is not a loss no matter how you look at it.
So the attendant office agreed, and the letters of authorization for the two of them will arrive in two days."
Seeing Wen Yibai and Dongfang Shang coming in, Song Wenwan didn't say anything to them anymore, but continued talking to her superior.
"Sir, I know what you are thinking, we don't have enough troops and equipment.
To fight against the Japanese invaders, you basically rely on your soldiers and pile up human lives.
Now that I'm here, I can't just watch my brothers suffer losses on the battlefield.
Commander of the theater, let me make the decision now!
All the guns and ammunition that the two militia divisions didn’t need were sent to the Ninth War Zone.
Assist the commander of the war zone to fight the Changsha battle well. "
After hearing this, the commander of the Ninth War Zone immediately looked overjoyed.
"Great, Commander Song, this solves my urgent problem.
How many guns can you take out now? Ten thousand Aobu, five thousand, five thousand will be enough."
Song Wenwan: "How many Type 38 rifles do your two armies have now?"
Dongfang Shang: "Commander Song, if we talk about the Type 38 rifle, that's too many.
Our two divisions have a total of 78,000 people and four infantry brigades, all of whom use the Type 38 rifle.
The rest of the troops mostly use automatic weapons or semi-automatic rifles.
As for the Type 38 rifles, including those used to replenish the inventory, we should be able to collect 40,000 of them.
As for ammunition, including the ammunition stored by the soldiers, there will be about 8 million rounds."
Song Wenwan: "Pack up and send someone to deliver the guns and ammunition to the designated troops according to the commander's order.
Don't forget to send all our light and heavy machine guns to the commander as well.
Let our soldiers not be stingy and hand over all those Japanese equipment.
Since all the Type 38 rifles have been handed over, they have no use for the equipment.
Why don't we be generous and give them all to the Ninth War Zone and let them fight the Japanese.
And those grenade launchers, mortars and so on, hand them over along with the shells.
Also, the brothers in the Ninth War Zone all used the Zhongzheng and Hanyang rifles.
I can also give you another 7.92 million rounds of 57xmm pointed bullets from the Ninth Theater.
Let us, brothers in the Ninth War Zone, stop saving bullets and give the Japanese a good fight.
Oh, and there are Type 92 infantry guns, how many do you have?"
Wen Yibai: "Commander, there are too many Type 92 infantry guns.
Each infantry brigade of our two divisions has its own artillery battalion.
The division also has a separate artillery regiment. If we put them together, we can probably get more than 60 guns."
Song Wenwan: "Take out forty infantry guns and ten Type 41 75mm mountain guns to form an artillery brigade.
Commander of the theater, this artillery battalion will be under your direct command during the battle.
After the Changsha Campaign is over, the cannons and shells will be yours, but the artillerymen must be returned to me.
The reason for doing this is that they are afraid that the artillery in the Ninth War Zone will not be able to get used to it.
I have a suggestion if you want to become proficient in using these infantry guns and mountain guns.
You can select the artillery brothers below and ask them to learn together.
After our artillery leaves, they will be able to exert their combat effectiveness.”
By the time Song Wenwan finished counting the numbers on her fingers, she looked up and saw that the commander of the Ninth War Zone was already in tears.
"Commander Song, Commander Song, you will be my brother from now on. I, I, uh...
Adjutant Ma, please go to the kitchen and get a big rooster. I want it alive.
There are also incense sticks and yellow paper. Where did you put them? I remember they are still in the box. Find them all for me."
Adjutant Ma didn't understand yet, but Song Wenwan saw it.
The commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone was really interesting. He wanted to kill a rooster and drink rice wine with me to become sworn brothers. Song Wenwan quickly stopped him.
That won't work. If we really become sworn brothers, how will our status be calculated after the country is liberated?
They finally managed to stop the excited theater commander by using some persuasion.
It is no wonder that the commander of the Ninth War Zone became so excited.
Today, Song Wenwan did give him and his Ninth War Zone a gift that could not be refused.
You have to know that there are so many weapons and equipment in any war zone.
They can all be deployed, forces the size of four divisions and two armies.
Because Anami Korechika's 11th Army has begun frequent deployments.
They also distributed all kinds of weapons overnight.
As for whether the weapons were given to the subordinate troops directly or indirectly, they no longer cared.
Although the Japanese Type 38 rifle is easy to use, it is not necessarily a good thing to replace it with the rifle you usually use when facing a battle.
In addition, Song Wenwan also gave the Ninth War Zone a large number of 7.92x57mm pointed bullets.
With this batch of bullets, the urgent needs of the Ninth War Zone were solved.
The Zhongzheng rifles and old sleeves in the hands of the troops below finally found a place to be used.
Everything was arranged, and the commander of the Ninth War Zone seemed to remember something and looked at Song Wenwan again.
“Commander Song, you gave so many weapons to my Ninth War Zone.
Then your militia division must have at least 40,000 men, and it is empty-handed.
What will they do without weapons? We can't let them fight the devils with empty hands, right?"
Song Wenwan said: "Don't worry for now, Commander of the War Zone. I have a clever plan to solve this problem."
On the morning of the third day, the commander of the war zone finally found out what Song Wenwan's method was.
It turned out that during these two days, Song Wenwan had already replaced the equipment of two militia divisions through night airdrops.
All the infantrymen replaced their weapons with the latest Type 41 (56) firearms.
They changed from Type 41 semi-automatic rifle to Type 41 squad machine gun.
The supporting artillery of their infantry platoon is the Type 20 82mm mortar.
This domestically-produced mortar has a faster firing rate than the Type 92 infantry gun, and its caliber is also on par.
The system lady said: "Because this mortar is made in China. Supporting domestic products starts with me, so the price can be discounted."
So this time Song Wenwan decided to use it as platoon and company-level support weapons in the future.
As for the battalion-level artillery, Song Wenwan purchased the 1mm M1A howitzer with points.
This type of howitzer has a maximum range of 8,800 meters and can be disassembled and transported by mules and horses.
This may be a difficult problem for other national army troops, but it is not a problem at all for the troops in Gannan.
