I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

It should be noted that Japan has been producing ammunition before the war, so it has a large ammunition reserve, while China has been busy fighting civil wars before the war, and consumed a lot of ammunition in the civil war. As for In the United States, the output of bombs and shells is dozens or even hundreds of times that of Japan.

"If there are more bullets in China, so that Chinese soldiers can have enough bullets for training and combat, the price the Japanese will pay will be even heavier!" Jiang Weiguo sighed in his heart, "It seems that the establishment of several ammunition factories is the most important thing. The most important thing!" He remembered something and looked at Liao Yaoxiang, "By the way, what are the models of rifles of our two regiments?"

Liao Yaoxiang said: "Our two regiments are the elite of the direct line. Of course, we don't use miscellaneous weapons. Half of the rifles are Chinese official rifles, and the other half are German m1924 Mauser rifles or 98k Mauser rifles. They are all excellent!"

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while: "In terms of fighting bayonets, can Mauser rifles and Chinese weapons match the [-]th style of the Japanese army?"

Liao Yaoxiang shook his head: "The total length of the Mauser rifle is 1.1 meters, the official length is 1.11 meters, and the total length of the Type 1.28 is [-] meters, which is [-] or [-] centimeters longer! Also, the bayonets of the Japanese army are a little longer than those of the national army. .

However, the three types of guns have their own advantages. The Type [-] is accurate, but its lethality is not strong. But the price is definitely more expensive than our self-produced medium!"

Jiang Weiguo scratched his head: "I can only learn from the pistol team of the 29th Army, and distribute a pistol to all the brothers.

In the future, when China and Japan go to war, night battles, dogfights, and close combat will be very frequent. Since we are not as good as Japan in fighting bayonets, we can only issue pistols to enhance our brothers' hand-to-hand combat capabilities.

Of course, brothers' hand-to-hand combat training must continue and be strengthened as normal!"

Liao Yaoxiang was taken aback: "Jianhao, two regiments with 3 people, [-] shell guns and bullets, this is not a small expense! Besides, there is no way to ask the Military Commission for money, right? We Two guns for one person is too extravagant! The Military Commission will definitely not give us such a big exception, otherwise the other brother troops will know and want all of them. Wouldn’t the chairman favor one over the other?”

"Okay! I'll pay for it!" Jiang Weiguo was helpless but willing, "This money should be paid out. It can not only enhance the combat effectiveness of the brothers in killing devils, but also reduce the casualty rate of the brothers. It is worth it!" Jiang Weiguo knew, On the battlefield, the enemy shouted "Bayonet up", and our army also shouted "Bayoneer up", followed by hand-to-hand combat where the mountains and rivers changed... This is certainly soul-stirring in literature, but if our army still has guns and bullets, then Why fight the enemy with the bayonet?Killing the enemy is the fundamental purpose.

On the Pacific battlefield in history, when the Japanese army shouted "Long Live the Emperor" and rushed towards the US machine gun group with bayonets, did the US army fight the Japanese army with bayonets?Of course not, the U.S. military directly used the sea of ​​fire to kill the Japanese army's crowd.

Throw away the gun and use the bayonet to kill the enemy unless the brain is flooded.

"There is still the problem of ammunition!" Jiang Weiguo scratched his head, "Damn! There is not enough ammunition, so there is no way to start live ammunition training!"

This morning and half the afternoon, Jiang Weiguo, Liao Yaoxiang and several staff officers of the two regiments formulated the "Ten Ten Disciplines" of the armored forces, which are:

[-]. Resolutely obey the orders and commands of superiors;

[-]. It is strictly forbidden to oppress the people in any way;

[-]. It is strictly forbidden to surrender when fighting a foreign enemy. If captured, it is strictly forbidden to disclose any intelligence secrets to the enemy, and it is strictly forbidden to defect to the enemy;

[-]. When retreating in wartime, all the wounded and the remains of all the dead officers and soldiers must be taken away. If they are not resolutely implemented, the officers and soldiers of the department will be severely punished;

[-]. It is strictly forbidden to damage state property, and those who deliberately destroy public property will be severely punished;

[-]. Weapons are the life of soldiers and must be cherished with all our strength.

When retreating during wartime, if weapons and equipment cannot be taken away, they must be completely destroyed; if they can be taken away but are deliberately discarded or destroyed, severe punishment will be imposed;

[-]. It is strictly forbidden to embezzle public property and fill private pockets;

[-]. Extravagance and waste are strictly prohibited;

[-]. It is strictly forbidden to form gangs, gather crowds to make trouble, and rebellion;

[-]. Gambling, alcoholism and drug abuse are strictly prohibited.

Originally, Jiang Weiguo wanted to add a "prostitution is strictly forbidden to solicit prostitutes", but after thinking about it, it seems too embarrassing. After all, it is still the period of the Republic of China, and the National Government has not banned brothels. It is not only bad for soldiers to "relax and relax". To take a step back, the full-scale war of resistance will break out in less than a year. I don't know how many brothers will die for the country, and I don't know how many brothers can It is not a big deal to let them "degenerate" a few times while they are alive.

In fact, Jiang Weiguo himself sometimes walks on the street, and when he sees the "dirty places" on the side of the road, he is eager to go in. If he is not always followed by Sun Tao, Yang Mei and others, And considering that the level of "safety measures" is still very low these days, it is easy to be infected with syphilis or something, plus the fear of being known by the old man will reduce his favorability afterwards, otherwise, Jiang Weiguo must have gone in more than once.

Jiang Weiguo knows that the brothers in the army are all human beings. It is their lofty ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country, but they also need a rich and colorful spiritual life in their spare time. He does not allow them to gamble now. Go shopping in a brothel and drink in a flower bar?Jiang Weiguo admired a mantra of the U.S. military for this: Practice hard on the field and play hard on the field.

Under Jiang Weiguo's single-handed arrangement, the quartermasters of the army's logistics department purchased a large number of books, newspapers, chess, poker, football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, table tennis and other entertainment tools from all over Nanjing and distributed them to the battalions. , suddenly burst into cheers.

After training at dusk every day, the two regiments laughed and laughed.

Except for the guard and patrol troops, the officers and soldiers gathered around the camp after the drill, read books, read newspapers, played chess, poker, football, basketball, tug-of-war... having fun in groups.

The fourteenth battalions of the two regiments have set up their own football teams, basketball teams, volleyball teams, and tug-of-war teams...every day after the military training, a friendly match will be held, attracting a large number of soldiers to watch and cheer for their own battalions. One after another in the camp.

"Jian Hao, will this make you lose your mind?" Du Yuming asked a little uneasily.

"Tuan Zuo, you are worrying too much! Excessive tension and excessive relaxation are not good.

It is necessary to combine work and rest, and to be relaxed in order to maintain the best condition.

Lenin once said that rest is for better work, so let the brothers practice hard when they are practicing, and play hard when they are playing! "Jiang Weiguo said nonchalantly, and then he announced that "because the 918th and 128th regiments are the elite of the national army, the monthly salary of the ordinary soldiers of the two regiments has increased by three yuan." He had to pay an extra 8 yuan in French currency every month, but it was worth the money. The soldiers were greatly encouraged, and they became more and more fond of and loyal to Jiang Weiguo. Work comes more directly and more affordable.

While allowing the soldiers to have entertainment and relaxation, Jiang Weiguo also actively strengthened the patriotic education and cultural education for the soldiers, instilling in the soldiers the beliefs of "loyalty to the country, repay the country", "loyalty to the nation, protection of the people" and " Fight the enemy bravely", "defend the country", "rather die than be a subjugated slave", and "swear to die than be a traitor". In addition, he publicized the situation between China and Japan to the soldiers, exposing the Japanese attempt to destroy China and enslave the Chinese. Ambition aroused the patriotic blood and Japanese hatred of the soldiers.

Many officers and soldiers in the army were college students or high school students who joined the army and had a relatively high level of education. Therefore, Jiang Weiguo specially organized these student soldiers and organized them into "cultural groups" to teach illiterate or few literate soldiers to read and write. Improve the overall cultural level of the troops.

Jiang Weiguo does not need to worry about training troops himself. German advisors and instructors such as Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, Liao Yaoxiang, Zheng Dongguo, Qiu Zhiji, Huang Baitao, Zhang Lingfu, and Hans are all experts in this field. He just needs to do his best Just get better weapons and equipment for the brothers.

In fact, the 918st Battalion of the 1th Regiment that Jiang Weiguo was in charge of was basically in charge of the deputy battalion commander, Captain Zhao Zhihua. Jiang Weiguo was only a nominal battalion commander, and rarely led troops to participate in training.

This Zhao Zhihua is a graduate of the tenth batch of the Whampoa Military Academy. He is quite talented in mechanized combat. Du Yuming recommended him to Jiang Weiguo. Commander, Zhao Zhihua is Deputy Commander).

While Jiang Weiguo was busy running around, he also had a headache. He was definitely not just the battalion commander of the 918st Battalion of the 1th Regiment. There are many, many "big things" to be done. This is the truth that "greater ability comes with greater responsibility".

Although Jiang Weiguo is only a small army captain and armored battalion commander, he is Chiang Kai-shek's son after all, so "doing big things" will definitely be much more convenient. Since he has the ability and conditions, Jiang Weiguo must make the most of it. Two points, try our best to minimize the suffering of the motherland that is about to usher in a millennium catastrophe.

In addition to solving the ammunition and pistol problems of his own troops, Jiang Weiguo also wanted to build several ammunition factories. He did not expect to produce aircraft, cannons and tanks. At the very least, he could strengthen the production of the most basic ammunition such as bullets, artillery shells, grenades, mines, and explosives. The Air Force and Navy also require his constant attention and constant spending.

Section 058 Pilots (1)

On the morning of September 9, Jiang Weiguo received a telegram from Dai Anguo that the 22 planes that Germany had donated to China for free had arrived.

Dai Anguo was not in the country. He had been in Germany, serving as Jiang Weiguo's material steward and liaison officer, and was responsible for receiving ordnance.

At the same time that Dai Anguo sent a telegram, Zhou Zhirou also sent a telegram to Jiang Weiguo with similar content. In addition to telling Jiang Weiguo about this matter, Zhou Zhirou also specially invited him to visit.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Zhirou couldn't help being overjoyed, and the lines in the telegram were filled with his joy and excitement.

Jiang Weiguo was also very excited. He immediately drove to Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport. The airport was built in 1929. It was the general base of the Chinese Air Force at that time. It was also the airport with the best facilities in China at this time, and it was the highest level in China Air terminal.

With Sun Tao and other guards (Jiang Weiguo felt that Yangmei was indifferent to him, he didn't want to make fun of himself, and he didn't see Yangmei when he went out, so he didn't take her with him), Jiang Weiguo rushed to Dajiaochang Airport impatiently.

Rows of planes were neatly parked at the airport. At first glance, Jiang Weiguo knew that these planes were indeed outdated, because they were all biplane structures.

Zhou Zhirou greeted Jiang Weiguo in person at the airport beamingly. In fact, he was also welcoming Song Meiling at the same time.

Zhou Zhirou is very clear that if her air force wants to continue to grow and develop, it must firmly hold two thighs, one belongs to Song Meiling and the other belongs to Jiang Weiguo. Although Zhou Zhirou is the commander-in-chief of the air force in name, in fact he is only the commander of the air force. "Chief steward", he also has Jiang Weiguo, the "emperor" and Song Meiling, the "empress".

The Chinese Air Force is directly under Chiang Kai-shek's orders. Chiang Kai-shek entrusted Soong Mei-ling with the development of the Air Force and the pocketbook of the Air Force.

Letting his wife and his son be responsible for the construction of the air force together really reflects the status of the air force and the importance of the air force in Chiang Kai-shek's heart.

Objectively speaking, although Song Meiling did not do well in many places, she did make a great contribution to the construction and development of the Chinese Air Force, so she was called "the mother of the Chinese Air Force", but Jiang Weiguo's contribution was not low For Song Meiling, it is even higher and more long-term.

Of course, no one would call Jiang Weiguo "the father of the Chinese Air Force."

Anyone who dares to say that will be imprisoned immediately.

"Hello, Ma'am! Hello, Second Young Master!" Zhou Zhirou, who was beaming with joy, walked in front of Song Meiling and Jiang Weiguo who arrived at the airport almost at the same time.

Zhou Zhirou saluted Song Meiling, Jiang Weiguo saluted Zhou Zhirou, Zhou Zhirou then returned the salute, and the three of them were very excited.

"Wei country is here too?" Song Meiling smiled.

"Yes!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "As soon as Chief Zhou sent a telegram, I couldn't wait, so I came here immediately!"

Song Meiling also laughed and said, "Me too!"

Zhou Zhirou smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ma'am, Second Young Master, I am laughing at you, Zhirou is equally excited, Madam and Second Young Master needless to say about their help to our Air Force, so Zhirou hopes to share with Madam , Second Young Master, share the joy together!"

Song Meiling looked around the airport: "Why didn't you see a new type of plane?"

Zhou Zhirou replied: "Although Dajiaochang Airport is well-guarded, it is located in Nanjing after all, and it is the well-known Chinese Air Force General Base. It is inevitable that dragons and snakes are mixed around and the walls have ears, so we sent the new plane to an old airport in Anqing.

These planes were brought in by ship, they did not dock in Shanghai or Nanjing, they were transported directly along the Yangtze River to Anqing!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again: "Mr. Zhou, you did the right thing!"

Song Meiling frowned slightly: "Going to Anqing? It's in the south of Anhui Province, not far, but not close either!"

Zhou Zhirou hurriedly said, "Don't worry, ma'am, we'll go by plane! It's only [-] kilometers, and we'll be there in an hour!"

Everyone got on a Martin B-10 bomber, and under the escort of four Hawker-3 fighter jets, jumped into the blue sky and flew to Anqing.

"Mr. Zhou, how is the Air Force doing now?" Jiang Weiguo asked, there was nothing to do on the road anyway.

Zhou Zhirou smiled like a flower: "Very good, very good, the chairman attaches so much importance to our air force, and the wife and the second son have devoted themselves to the construction and development of the air force. If our air force does not work hard, how can we be worthy of the chairman, wife, and second son? Before the rectification, the situation of our air force was really not optimistic. There were only more than 300 planes, most of which were old-fashioned and outdated, and there were only more than 620 pilots..."

"There are only so few pilots in our Air Force?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, "The training and training of pilots is also a top priority, so don't be negligent! Pilots are more important and valuable than airplanes!"

Zhou Zhirou nodded: "The Air Force University has begun to expand the enrollment scale, and we plan to increase the number of pilots to 1000 by next summer!"

Jiang Weiguo shook his head: "1000 people are too few, at least 3000 people are needed!"

Zhou Zhirou smiled wryly: "Second son, training a pilot is not a one-time job! The pilot himself has to choose from thousands of choices, and the plane consumes a lot of fuel and spare parts during training. These are not small expenses!" The pilot is sure You must fly a plane to train excellent flying skills. The more and longer the plane flies, the better the pilot's skills and the greater the fuel consumption. This process must be very expensive, so pilots are "made of gold".

During World War II, the pilots of the United States, Britain and other countries accumulated about 200 hours of flight training before officially participating in the war, German pilots about 300 hours, and the longest and most rigorous Japanese navy pilots reached 400 hours.

Jiang Weiguo's attitude was firm: "The War of Resistance is estimated to break out in a year's time. By that time, our air force should have 1000 aircraft, at least 3000 official pilots, and thousands of reserve pilots.

It is impossible to have a pilot without an airplane, but it is even more impossible to have an airplane without a pilot!We will have more planes in the future, so more excellent pilots!Mr. Zhou, you can start this work with confidence and boldness!In terms of money, my mother and I will do our best to help you, and my father will also fully support the Air Force.

Don't be reluctant to spend money! "

Zhou Zhirou's expression was moved: "Thank you, Second Young Master, thank you, Ma'am!" He continued, "According to the chairman's intention and your Second Young Master's suggestion, the air force has already started a comprehensive rectification.

In terms of departments, we have laid off many people, streamlined many organizations, cut many unnecessary expenses, and saved a lot of money. The Air Force currently has a total of more than 3 people, including command department personnel, pilots, ground personnel, logistics personnel, Teachers and students of the Air Force University, guards of airport warehouses and other facilities, and air defense units affiliated to the Air Force. Originally, the Air Force General Headquarters was at Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport, and the Air Force University was at Hangzhou Jianqiao. Now, we have begun to relocate. The location was determined in Wuhan as the future headquarters of the Air Force and the site of the Air Force University. At the same time, the base branch and university branch of the Air Force were established in Shanghai, Nanjing, Luoyang, Changsha, Nanchang, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou. The Dajiaochang Airport will be the former enemy of the Air Force. In addition, we also maintain or build several simple temporary field airfields in Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Hangzhou, Anqing, Jinhua, Jiujiang, Jianqiao and other places to prepare for future actual combat !"

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while and said: "According to the distribution of airports, the Air Force's combat area covers East China, Central China, and South China, but North China is ignored.

The Air Force may consider establishing several temporary airports in Taiyuan and Jinan.

When the war started, North China was the same as East China. The three provinces of Shanxi, Shandong and Hebei were also the main battlefields. The national army there also needed aircraft reinforcements.

The airports in Shanxi and Shandong are established in Taiyuan and Jinan. As for Hebei Province, the northern part of Hebei Province and Pingjin have already been infiltrated by the Japanese. Therefore, one or two temporary ones can also be established in Baoding in central Hebei Province or Handan in the south. Airport!"

"This..." Zhou Zhirou frowned slightly, with a complex expression on his face, "Second Young Master, you also know that the North China National Army... has a relatively complicated composition... and if the Air Force builds an additional airport in North China, it will be even more short of funds!"

Of course Jiang Weiguo understands what Zhou Zhirou means. Yan Xishan from Shanxi, Han Fuju from Shandong, Song Zheyuan from Hebei, the national armies of the three provinces are not direct troops of the Central Army, they are all local warlords and local miscellaneous troops. Zhou Zhirou and Chiang Kai-shek behind Zhou Zhirou Certainly he was unwilling to use the precious planes to reinforce the warlords of the three provinces in North China. Chiang Kai-shek actually wished that the Japanese and the warlords in the three provinces of North China would lose both.

"Having said that, they are also members of the national army, and they are also the Chinese army that defends the country and resists the Japanese invaders!" Jiang Weiguo looked frank, "Mr. Zhou, these two concerns of yours are actually not a problem. First, Of course Yan Xishan, Han Fuju, and Song Zheyuan paid for the additional construction of an airport in North China. Isn’t that a matter of course? Don’t they want their troops to have Central Military planes to assist them in the fierce battle with the Japanese army? As for the second point, I I will convince my father that the central military will use planes to assist the national army in the three provinces of North China, and they will be able to fight better in North China. Invaded, since we are our own brothers, how can we continue to fight against each other or intrigue?"

"Second son is really kind-hearted!" Zhou Zhirou nodded, and then he said with a smile, "The chairman ordered us to rectify the air force, please tell the chairman that the air force will not let him down or worry, we really We are doing our best to rectify.

In the past, many officers in the Air Force stole and sold aircraft parts and fuel, and some people embezzled Air Force funds, making the Air Force a mess and corrupt!After my strict investigation and punishment, a total of 46 people were involved, including a major general and four colonel-level officers. I ordered these moths to be shot!Some people said that some of the 46 people were not worthy of death. I said that in troubled times, heavy punishments must be used. If a group of people were not brutally killed, how could it have the effect of killing everyone?How to thoroughly clean the dirt in the Air Force? "

"Good kill!" Song Meiling praised with a smile, "The Air Force is different from the Army and the Navy. The Army and Navy were established very early, and they are both large in scale. There are many internal factions, bloated and complicated, and the relationships in various aspects are intricate, so it is difficult. To carry out a thorough rectification, the Air Force must not be like the Army and Navy.

The air force must be lean, efficient, and pure!"

Zhou Zhirou nodded again and again: "Madam's teaching, Zhirou will keep it in mind, and never dare to forget it!"

Jiang Weiguo continued: "The Air Force originally had more than 300 outdated and messy aircraft. Now, the 50 new aircraft donated by Germany have arrived. Immediately, the 20 B-10 bombers bought by my mother and the Americans will soon arrive. Next, Germany will help us with 1000 new planes. In addition, my mother and I have purchased another 150 new planes from Germany with the Air Force’s purchase funds, and I have also ordered 50 new power planes from the United States. Very powerful heavy bomber.

So if all goes well, when China and Japan actually go to war, our air force will have... more than 1500 aircraft, and [-]% of them will be the most advanced aircraft in the world!"

"Great! Great!" Zhou Zhirou almost cried with joy.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Zhou Zhirou with a smile: "My father, my mother, and I will do our best to provide the air force with the aircraft. As for the training and training of pilots and all kinds of preparations for combat, it depends on you, Mr. Zhou." !"
