Rebirth of the National Marshal

Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Sixth Security Regiment were really anxious at this moment. Just look at how many good things the Seventh and Eighth Regiments have brought back. Basically all the logistical equipment for more than 20 people has been brought back. When the Soviets fled, they threw away everything they could, and almost only took some of their own food with them. Those guns and the like were really too heavy, and the chances of successfully escaping with these things were greatly reduced.

The soldiers of the Security Corps really looked down upon the Soviet weapons. Look at what kind of stuff you, the so-called second most powerful country in the world, use. Although you have some good artillery, the gap compared with our artillery is really too big. Whether it is in terms of range or rate of fire, it is simply garbage. These weapons were given to us for free, but we still think they are a burden.

But the order has come down from above, and these weapons still need to be put away. We don’t need them now, but those people on the battlefield in the south will use them, and these are all money.

The last time Mao Yuanshan went to Nanjing, he gave all the captured weapons to the Sichuan army. The army was very good at using them. They exchanged them with food. Didn't you see that so many people had no problem eating? Although there was no shortage of food in the Chahar region, food was a hard currency during the war, and it was absolutely necessary to store a large amount of it. In case of another natural disaster or man-made disaster, there would be no place to buy food.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Mao Yuanshan understood this principle very well. In history, the most important issue for some generals who started an army was food. If the soldiers were starved, not to mention fighting, there might even be mutiny. Therefore, large-scale food hoarding was not excessive. Moreover, he had tens of millions of civilians under his command, so if they couldn't get enough food, he would just give it to them.

It seems that these Soviets really didn't care about anything when they were fleeing. A grenade thrown in could set the huge arsenal on fire. Unfortunately, all the soldiers were busy fleeing, and no one cared about the very well hidden arsenal. The Soviets' camouflage technology was indeed good. If this arsenal had been discovered earlier, the Air Force would not have let them survive.

But it’s also good now. This arsenal has directly become the property of the Chahar local government. The various military equipment pulled out from it can arm ten infantry divisions.

It seems that we have to ask the base to send a large number of vehicles over, otherwise there is no way to pull these things back. The original transport team is still too small, and Mr. Chiang Bai-ri has to continue to expand the team.

However, Mao Yuanshan was not idle either. He found more than 300 lightly wounded soldiers in the army who could drive. These people had no physical problems, but they were injured and needed to rest for a while. Driving was no problem for them, so he directly exchanged more than 300 cars for them and filled them up. They just drove slowly back on the road, after all, they were on their own territory.

The vehicles were loaded with Mosin-Nagant rifles and some bullets, all of which were urgently needed on the southern battlefield. Mao Yuanshan had already asked people to contact the warlords in the south. The domestic army had no shortage of them, but what they lacked the most was these equipments. It would be a good idea to give them directly and let them kill the Japanese, which would also bring him a lot of good things in return.

Many people would also say, since you can exchange Garand rifles in such large quantities, why not give them this semi-automatic rifle, why give them this single-shot rifle? In fact, there is no other way. Mao Yuanshan has an exchange system, and he can still feel the huge logistical pressure. If all the soldiers of the National Army on the front line are equipped with semi-automatic rifles, then it is estimated that Chairman Chiang will come to fight with him immediately. Even a country like Japan, a country with a decent industry, can't replace its soldiers with semi-automatic rifles, let alone our side.

During World War II, except for the Americans who used semi-automatic rifles in large quantities, other countries were unable to do so because they did not have such strong industrial strength. The consumption of one semi-automatic rifle was equivalent to that of three manual rifles, and the ammunition consumption was also very high. 120 rounds of bullets could allow a Japanese soldier to use them for three days. 120 rounds of bullets were only enough for a semi-automatic rifle for half a day of fighting. If the intensity was high for an hour, all 120 bullets would be used up.

When the air force bombed, they targeted some large-caliber artillery of the Soviet Union. Some small artillery of about 70mm were scattered among the army, so the losses of these small artillery were relatively small. Now they were directly pulled here and all neatly arranged here. They did not worry about attacks from the Soviet Air Force because their nearest airport was thousands of kilometers away.

The country does need these small artillery pieces, and the shells for these small artillery pieces can be produced locally. There are some arsenals in various provinces in the country, and the arsenals can also produce them. If we give them some large-caliber artillery pieces, the supply of shells alone will be difficult for these warlords. It is simply impossible to supply them, and all of them need to be purchased. At that time, the logistical pressure will be further increased. Now, the domestic transportation roads have basically all been used by the military, but it is still not enough.

When Mao Yuanshan saw these small artillery pieces, he was also extremely surprised. The Soviet Union is indeed a country that pursues artilleryism, or to be more precise, big gunism. However, all the artillery pieces displayed here are small artillery pieces. The quartermaster took the notebook and let Mao Yuanshan take a look at it.

A lot of money was made in this battle. There are nearly 2000 million bullets here. How much military equipment have these Soviets stockpiled? There are nearly 5 unopened rifles, and with some captured ones, it is enough to make up a Mosin-Nagant rifle.

There are also nearly 1000 light machine guns. The Soviet light machine gun's ammunition feeding method is different from that of other countries. It uses discs for ammunition feeding. Each disc contains more than 70 rounds of bullets. The endurance is very strong. Of course, the main performance is also good.

It is basically the same as the Czech light machine gun, but it is much better in terms of ammunition supply. All these things can be pulled back. It seems that the domestic warlords are going to bleed again.
