At this point, Chen Zhihua felt a little awkward.
In fact, Chen Zhihua was similar to the Japanese in this aspect. Both of them wanted to save money.
He did have a lot of points, but he still had to save them. Guns were not expensive, but once the battle started, the bullets would be used up. Garland's firepower was enough, so there was no doubt about it.
As for whether or not the ammunition could be used, it was just a transition period anyway. There was only this batch of Garand rifles. If this division performed well and could give him hope of making a profit, then he would directly replace them with MP44s.
The ammunition of the MP44 and MG34 were universal. With the addition of the 98K sniper rifle, it would be perfect.
Besides, the Japanese had peed in their pants and ran away. How could they be justified?
Sichuan Province governs the land.
Half a month ago, Liu Xiang had published a letter to the army and civilians of Sichuan Province, calling on the army and civilians of Sichuan Province to go out to resist the Japanese. He had also done his best for this, reorganizing 300,000 troops and countless rations.
However, Sichuan Province was too far away from the front line. Liu Xiang could only send a portion of the army to the front line first, and then set off with the rest of the army.
Fortunately, the Yangtze River shipping was smooth at the moment. Liu Xiang had already recruited countless shipping ships of various sizes. Under the leadership of Deputy Commander Tang Shizun, they left Sichuan first. Liu Xiang continued to stay in Sichuan Province to recruit and train the rest of the troops.
Commander, there's a problem at the front line."
"Defeated so quickly?" Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment. Although his enthusiasm for the war had not decreased, it was still difficult for him to accept that the front line had been defeated so quickly.
After all, according to the time, the first batch of Sichuan troops should have just arrived at the front line not long ago, and the follow-up troops should be arriving soon.
Although Liu Xiang knew that the Sichuan army might not be able to help, although they had people, they did not have equipment.
Nanjing wouldn't be able to take out so much equipment for them in a short period of time, so Liu Xiang discussed with the principal that they couldn't let the equipment wait. No matter what, they had to let the soldiers go up first.
When a regiment died for their country, they would try their best to pull their equipment back and hand it over to the next regiment. The children of Chuan were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that they would not have the opportunity to serve their country.
" One of our brigades has changed its formation…" The adjutant lowered his head in frustration. No one had expected such a situation to occur in the Sichuan Army.
"What?" Liu Xiang's eyes widened. He could accept the annihilation of a brigade, but what was the meaning of a whole brigade changing sides?
"Which brigade?" Liu Xiang took a deep breath and asked.”
" The 8th Replenishment Brigade…"
"Replenishment Brigade? What did Nanjing want them for? For the sake of such a brigade, he didn't even greet them?”Liu Xiang was a little angry.
A reinforcement regiment was not important. The so-called reinforcement regiment was just cannon fodder.
To put it bluntly, they lacked training and equipment. They went to the front line barehanded, waiting to pick up equipment on the battlefield. If they were unlucky and did not pick up equipment, wouldn't they be cannon fodder?
Liu Xiang still had plenty of such troops. Even if Nanjing wanted them, they didn't have to be so mean. They could just send a telegram to Tang Shizun. After all, it didn't matter where they were used. At least they found a way out for this group of people.
However, he pulled her away without even saying goodbye. Was he looking down on me, Liu Xiang?
"Commander, it's not Nanjing. It's the volunteer army that caused a ruckus yesterday. The one who came forward to rope in is the former Chuan Army's lieutenant and deputy company commander. Meng Fan is annoyed. He said…he said that they give the soldiers pay and equipment. Their equipment is better than the Central Army's. They even have heavy artillery, tanks, and machine guns. Chang Jiang left a letter for Commander Tang and ran away with his troops. He said that no matter what the result was, their brigade was the ghost of the Sichuan army. Unless they were completely wiped out, they would not be able to return to Sichuan until the Japanese were driven out of China. Commander Tang had no choice but to temporarily suppress this matter, but it won't last long…"
Liu Xiang's face was full of bitterness. Tang Shizun was right. He couldn't do anything about this matter either. He could only suppress it for the time being.
If someone gave them money and equipment to fight the Japanese, even if they were more determined, it would be hard to say, let alone a supplementary brigade.
The other party's bragging was like a deluge of flowers. Not to mention Chang Jiang, even he was tempted.
"Forget it, forget it…Kid Chuan's life is also his life. Tell Deputy Commander Tang that I will settle this matter and tell him not to make things difficult for Chang Jiang.”Liu Xiang shook her head with a bitter smile.
This time, he had lost a lot of face, but there was no other way. He sent people to the front line without giving them any equipment. In Liu Xiang's opinion, he felt that Chang Jiang was already a man to be able to bring a brigade to Shanghai.
It was not shameful to make a choice in front of equipment. Moreover, he had left behind this letter that could be called his last words. This was enough to prove his helplessness and his sincere heart to resist the Japanese.
Slap…
When he received Liu Xiang's telegram, the principal was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table.
" F * ck, these little bastards are too shameless..." The principal was not angry at Liu Xiang. He also knew Liu Xiang's helplessness.
There was indeed a batch of equipment in Nanjing, but the quantity was not much and could not be used easily, so he could not give Liu Xiang more support.
As for Liu Xiang, the king of Sichuan, the principal himself did not have much of an opinion. Liu Xiang was a smart person who understood the big picture. She was willing to accept the principal's leadership and give face to the principal. For this battle, Liu Xiang was the first to stand up and express her support. Moreover, it was not just verbal support, but real support.
Putting aside the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army, even part of the food for the troops at the front line was transported from Sichuan Province. The principal could not blame Liu Xiang for this.
What the principal didn't expect the most was that those disgusting people from the volunteer army would actually take advantage of the weakness of the Sichuan army, which was the lack of guns and food, and directly recruit a brigade over.
This made the principal realize that this group of volunteers might only have money and guns, but they didn't have anyone. They needed to recruit people in the country to build their power. This was a little f * cking.
Liu Xiang couldn't afford to lose face, and neither could the principal. However, the matter had already happened. If they didn't respond, the outside world would definitely notice it after a long time.
Liu Xiang's telegram was to ask for the principal's opinion. If the principal had no other opinions, Liu Xiang was prepared to send a message to the outside world, saying that the Sichuan Army was supporting a brigade of volunteers and welcomed other people with lofty ideals at home and abroad to fight against the Japanese.
This could be considered a way to save face, but the principal was thinking more than that. Of course, face was important, but benefits were also important. He still had to give face to Liu Xiang.
"Tell Liu Xiang to follow his advice, but we can't lose this lead. We have to keep in touch and figure out the purpose of the volunteer army and some of their situations. We can't let the opponents dig into our house and we still don't know who they are…"
