There was nothing to hesitate about when it came to the choice of submachine guns. Chu Zian had read a lot of novels, and almost all of them chose the M1931 Somi submachine gun. This submachine gun was not famous in World War II, mainly because it was too expensive. No country was willing to equip such an expensive submachine gun on a large scale.
Unfortunately, the best submachine gun in World War II, the MPSH41 Bobossa submachine gun, could only be unlocked in the year 41. Otherwise, Chu Zian would have directly equipped the Bobossa.
Even though the Somi submachine gun was known as a piece of art from World War II, and its effective range was as high as 300 meters, one should know that the submachine gun did not require a range, but the ability to fight at close range. Bobosha was undoubtedly very good at this aspect.
Of course, Somi wasn't bad either. With the base's unlimited funds, Chu Zian didn't have any qualms about its price.
As for the machine gun, of course, Chu Zian chose the MG34 general machine gun that he liked the most. There was no World War II fan who was not familiar with this machine gun. It was the ancestor of the general machine gun. It was a light machine gun with a two-legged stand and a 75-round drum. It was a heavy machine gun with an anti-aircraft tripod and a 200-round ammunition chain.
The most impressive thing about it was its firing rate. With a firing rate of more than 1000 rounds per minute, the soldiers of the allied forces felt as if death had descended upon them when they heard it. However, under normal circumstances, machine gunners would not keep pulling the trigger, so most of the time, the firing rate was around 600 rounds per minute.
As for the choice of mortars, 50mm light mortars were used, which was enough for platoon-level fire support.
Apart from this infantry company, he also formed an artillery platoon. Before the outbreak of World War II, artillery was still the king of war, especially in China, where artillery was scarce. Only with artillery could one have the right to speak. Moreover, even 105mm caliber artillery was considered heavy artillery in China, and a 70mm caliber artillery was hard to come by.
Chu Zian chose the M1 75mm howitzer, which was only commissioned by the US Army in 1927. It had an effective range of 7.5 kilometers, a firing rate of 5 rounds per minute, a combat weight of 640 kilograms, and a crew of 6.
Although its performance was very mediocre, it was indeed very flexible and very suitable for mountain combat. In Sichuan and the southwest border area, mountain combat would become the main combat method, so this howitzer was the most suitable.
With such a force, Chu Zian felt much more at ease. In the absence of large-scale armed forces, his safety could be guaranteed. Next, he could go to the county town to take a look. This was Chu Zian's first goal.
Chu Zian had already asked the Red Guards to investigate the surrounding situation and draw a map. The base was located in a mountainous area about 14 kilometers away from Yanyuan County.
Yanyuan County could be said to be very poor and backward. It didn't look like a county at all. It had a large population. The population of the county was close to 80,000, and the population of the entire county was 150,000.
Although the county was very dilapidated, Yanyuan County actually hid a lot of wealth. Panzhi was a world-famous mineral resource producing area in later generations, and these iron ores were mainly concentrated in Yanbian, Yanyuan, Xichang, Dechang and other places.
Standing at the city gate, Chu Zian looked at the dilapidated city wall, but he was full of expectations for the county town. If he wanted to develop, he had to take down this place first, and he needed to think carefully about how to do it.
Chu Zian entered the county town with two Red Alert soldiers who acted as bodyguards. The warlords standing at the city gate did not stop Chu Zian from collecting the toll. They did not dare to go forward when they saw the two Red Alert soldiers who were full of vigor.
"Looks like this place is even more dilapidated than I imagined!”Looking at the streets with extremely poor hygiene and beggars everywhere on both sides, and even openly buying and selling people, this was simply unimaginable in the future, but it was everywhere in this era.
Chu Zian remembered that he had once read about a major disaster in Sichuan in the 1930s. Droughts, locusts, and plagues swept through the entire Sichuan, and more than ten million people were affected. It seemed that they were still in the midst of a disaster.
Along the way, Chu Zian had some understanding of the current situation. Although Yanyuan County was not rich, it was not poor either. The reason why it became like this was because of the famine that lasted for six years.
This year, the famine had dissipated, but Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang were still busy fighting for power in Sichuan. They did not care about the lives and deaths of the people, nor did the government step forward to organize the restoration of production. Not only that, but the taxes on the people were getting heavier and heavier.
At the same time, Chu Zian also found out that the position of the county head of Yanyuan County was currently vacant, and not many people were interested in this dilapidated county. Moreover, there were people of various ethnic groups here, and it was very difficult to manage them. The previous county head was killed by illegal guns because he was too hard pressed. The folk customs here were still quite tough.
However, this might be a hot potato for others, but it was an opportunity for him. It was very easy to become the county head. The person in charge of the surrounding area was Liu Wenhui's subordinate, Liu Cai. He was greedy and lecherous.
It would be best if he could use money to get the position of county magistrate, but how to get the money was a problem.
