Rebirth of the National Marshal

Later, somehow this matter was brought to the attention of the principal. The principal highly praised Mao Yuanshan's approach, mainly because the front line was running out of bullets.

The principal also severely criticized the people in the transportation department. More than a dozen officials were fired. The local warlords supported the central government and sent a whole train of bullets. Why didn't you arrange a train for them? People like you are the big termites of the war of resistance. If you are not kicked out, what are you doing here?

Such a thing was expected to happen. Mao Yuanshan had anticipated this when he called the chief executive of the Third War Zone. There were simply too many such people in the Party-State. If these people were not kicked out, there would be many more detours to take if they wanted to defeat the Japanese devils.

The daily consumption in the front-line areas is now an astronomical figure, especially in terms of weapons and ammunition.

With hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line, if they fire ten bullets a day, millions of bullets will be needed, and the consumption of these bullets will definitely be even greater during the battle.

The ammunition that had been stored in the Party-State’s warehouses for so many years has basically run out.

The officers in the munitions department worry every day about their frowns that could pinch a fly to death. All the military factories of the Party-State can only produce about 100 million rounds of ammunition a day at full capacity, but the daily consumption on the front line is ten times that. How can they fill this hole?

This situation is directly related to the lack of industrial development in peacetime. The combat methods of the frontline soldiers are also very problematic. Chinese soldiers are usually reluctant to practice shooting.

Therefore, their marksmanship was very poor. It often took thousands of bullets to kill a Japanese devil. The ratio on the Japanese side was more than ten times lower than that of the Chinese army. Some veterans could even kill a person with every shot.

If your country has a strong military and industrial power, then no matter how much you waste, it is justifiable, just like the US military during World War II, they shipped their weapons to the front line as if they were free.

Back then, American soldiers often dared to call in the heavy artillery on the battleships to attack just because there were a few Japanese devils in the woods. Only Americans had such courage.

The Chinese army does not have such courage now. They touch guns every day, but there are no bullets in the guns, which pushes them directly to the battlefield. This situation can be seen now, but there is no regret medicine.

If they could be allowed to get a little familiar with target shooting in normal times and arrange a few sessions for them every year, their marksmanship would definitely improve. Compared with the number of bullets consumed now, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

The soldiers of the Central Army are a little better off, as they can arrange for target practice about twice a year. Of course, they cannot provide you with sufficient supply of bullets, but it is already very good that you can smell the smell of gunpowder. As for other things, don't think too much, as you will get hurt.

Not to mention the local troops. Even eating is a problem. If the commanders don't sell us our weapons, we'll be lucky. Not to mention target shooting. We're given ten bullets and pushed straight onto the battlefield. Before the fighting starts for half an hour, the bullets are all used up. All that's left is hand-to-hand combat.

You can fight hand-to-hand combat. How can you, who don't have enough food, be in good physical condition? How can the Japanese be in good physical condition?

We are lucky to have enough to eat every day. The food we eat is not much different from what pigs eat. The Japanese eat wartime rations every day. Although it is nothing in the international community, it is a world of difference compared to us.

He is as strong as a calf. He might be blown down if the wind is a little strong here. What can you use to fight him hand-to-hand? Isn't this just delivering food to him?

Besides, if you want to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese devils will be very happy. Their usual training is mainly bayonet training. Although we have also trained, our training level cannot be compared with theirs.

During the Second World War, it was proved that pistols were the best way to deal with hand-to-hand combat. But look at the pistols in our country's army. The platoon leaders in the Central Army can be equipped with a Mao-colored pistol, which is a replica. It is not imported from Germany at all, and all of them have ten bullets.

In the local army, it is considered good for a company commander to have a pistol, and the ratio is such that one out of three platoon leaders has such a pistol.

Anyway, these things cannot be brought up. If they were brought up, the Central Army would not have to fight the Japanese at all. The gap in all aspects shows that we will definitely fail.

But the Japanese are not having a good time now, which is a little different from history. Historically, they fought very well in this place.

The 20-strong army defeated the 70-strong army of the central government, which can be said to be a great victory. However, since the reinforcements from the Northeast region have not arrived, they can only wait for the troops from the mainland. The troops from the mainland are all young people, and the training they have received is naturally not comparable to that of the Kwantung Army.

And because the central government has bombers, some battleships here did not enter the inland river. This is much better than in history. In history, the Japanese battleships could enter the inland river. The 380mm main gun could kill a company with one shot. The regular battalion and company disappeared because of the Japanese main gun.

At this time in the war, the Japanese army had more than 15 troops on the front line, but now there are only 8. Back then, the loss of 15 troops was only about 1, but now the loss of 8 troops has exceeded . This is better than back then. This is all due to the credit of Mao Yuanshan. If it weren't for him, history would not have deviated so much.

Many people also say that Mao Yuanshan did not play such a big role, but it can be seen from a set of figures that in the past, there were 70 people in the entire Songhu battlefield, and there were probably less than 100 Type 500 mortars, but now this number has reached .

The reason why they did not play a huge role was because of the soldiers' operating problems. Usually, their superiors would buy these mortars and lock them in the warehouse directly. They would not take them out and would not allow them to train because their superiors felt that the shells were precious.

Now it's a real problem. Artillery shells are no longer valuable, and the soldiers don't know how to use them. It's too late to regret. It's really depressing.
