Chapter 280 Full Equipment of the German Infantry Division(1/2)
"I heard that Commander Yan was so angry at Jiang Dong that he killed a colonel of the Shanxi-Sui Army..."
Luo Wenfu, commander of the 22nd Division, said with a half-smile.
"Haha..." A smile appeared on Wei Lihuang's lips, "This Yan Laoxi has hit a snag this time. He thought that his Jinsui Army could still be as unscrupulous in Shanxi as in the past, but little did he know that those days are over.
Once gone, never to come back..."
Wei Lihuang shook his head and smiled. Jiang Dong was not an easy character to get along with. He had already made speculations about this.
"Haha..." Luo Wenfu also felt quite relieved,
"Even his own senior management team has moved to Shaanxi, and no one will blame him anymore. Let's see how he ends up in the future."
"A regiment with its men and weapons has been annexed by Jiangdong. Yan Laoxi must have a back-up plan, so let's just sit back and watch."
Luo Wenfu's eyes flashed,
"Speaking of which, Jiangdong is so blatantly annexing friendly forces. Will the Military Commission have any objections?"
"snort!"
Wei Lihuang snorted coldly,
"This matter was originally done by him, Yan Laoxi, unjustly. Even if he reported it to the Military Commission, the Chairman would turn against Jiangdong.
Since the birth of Jiangdong Hengkong, he rarely asked for help in all battles, and at the same time, no one could take away the things he defeated.
With such a person around, let alone Yan Xishan, it would be difficult for even the Chairman to interfere in Shannan affairs.
The order from the Second War Zone Commander's Department is just a piece of waste paper in Jiangdong. But..."
Wei Lihuang paused,
"Jiang Dong is a real Chinese soldier, and he is sincerely fighting against the Japs. The Japs are more troublesome than Yan Laoxi.
With him at the front, our Zhongtiao Mountain defense line will be worry-free, and we may even be able to fight out one day!
The great talents of ancient times must have had quite a temper, and I can understand some of his actions."
"Then when are we going to Jincheng?" Luo Wenfu rubbed his hands.
"The brothers at the front reported that several convoys passed by our defense area during this period, and they were pulling a lot of things..."
Wei Lihuang glanced at Luo Wenfu and said,
"Don't have too high expectations. Given the example of Yan Laoxi, we should still think about how to seek peace with him and exchange interests with him."
He looked a little solemn,
"Arrange the work at hand and set off early tomorrow morning!"
Luo Wenfu's eyes flashed with joy,
"yes!"
The conflict between Jiangdong and the Jinsui Army was not particularly big, but it was certainly not small either. All the forces in southern Shanxi who were interested in knowing about it knew about it immediately.
Some shook their heads, some were shocked...
From this conflict, they confirmed one more thing,
Do not use strong tactics to cooperate with Jiangdong.
If you are tough, he is even tougher!
Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing also learned about this from the military commander. He just said three words lightly at that time:
"I see!"
.
.
Although the weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army were backward, those who survived until 1939 were considered veterans.
Who doesn’t want what I picked up for free?
After Jiang Dong arrived in Jincheng, he handed over the two thousand veterans to the staff headquarters. The training unit under the staff headquarters would conduct military training for the two thousand veterans for half a month.
While undergoing military training, they will also receive ideological education from the Political Department to fundamentally change the past concepts of these veterans.
Then, like new recruits, they will be dispersed to various regiments of the independent brigade to participate in the future battle to liberate their hometown in Shanxi.
"Jiang, my old friend, I'm so happy to see you again!"
Mr. Rabe hugged Jiangdong excitedly.
Karl and Khachanov first returned to Jincheng with Dong and Xie Chengrui.
Khachanov went to work on his writing work. He wanted to truthfully record what he saw and heard in Jincheng so that Moscow could change the target of assistance.
"Mr. Rabe, my cooperation with Germany will continue in the future. You might as well stay in Jincheng and act as a liaison between the two parties to avoid going back and forth and harming your body..."
Rabe is already an old man in his 50s. He has made great contributions to the Chinese people. Jiangdong hopes that he can live longer than in history and see with his own eyes what the world will look like in the future.
After listening to Jiang Dong's words, Rabe was very moved. He looked at Karl, nodded and said:
"Okay! I listen to you. From now on, these running things will be left to the young people!"
"Ha ha……"
Xie Chengrui and Karl beside him laughed together.
"I heard that you have brought all the equipment for the five regiments. Take me to see it quickly!"
Jiang Dong's expression was a little anxious.
That was pure German equipment for 5 regiments. If not for the entanglement of the 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army, he would have wanted to take a look at the equipment the day it arrived.
Xie Chengrui had already seen the equipment of the five regiments, and he said with confidence:
"Brigadier, you have to be mentally prepared. Don't be shocked when the time comes..."
"Hehe..." Jiang Dong strode forward,
"Although I am a little excited, I am not ready to take the next step. In the future, we will have five divisions and five group armies...
It’s just five groups, it’s nothing!”
Mr. Rabe and Karl looked at each other, with an unknown smile in their eyes.
There is a company of soldiers guarding the warehouse outside day and night. They have been ordered that no one except the chief of staff and the brigade commander is allowed to approach the warehouse.
"brigadier!"
I haven’t seen Jiang Dong for a long time, so the company commander leading the team saluted with excitement!
Jiangdong returned the gift,
"Open the door, let me go in and take a look!"
"yes!!!"
There were three locks on the entire warehouse, one larger than the other. It took the guard soldiers three minutes to open the door.
"Jiang, what you see now is all the equipment of a German soldier except the military uniform..."
Karl pointed to the mountains of supplies and introduced them to Jiangdong.
In front of Jiangdong's eyes, first aid kits, military boots, quilts, blankets, helmets, belts, water bottles, gas masks, engineer shovels, etc. were neatly stacked together. Jiangdong was dazzled by the sight.
"Are all the soldiers' individual equipment here? Five regiments?" he asked in surprise.
The previously negotiated deal only included weapons and equipment for 5 regiments. Jiangdong did not expect that Germany's mustachioed leader would be so generous as to send a full set of individual equipment.
"Yes, German soldiers have it. In addition to military uniforms, your soldiers will also have it!"
Carl replied very proudly.
Jiang Dong casually picked up a small box in front of him. It looked square and square. He didn't know what was inside. He curiously took it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
"Huh?" A slightly familiar smell passed into the tip of my nose.
He turned the box over and read clearly the German text on it:
shoe polish!
He looked at Karl in shock, who shrugged and said:
"This is for officers above the rank of lieutenant to shine their shoes..."
I believe it, Jiangdong believes it,
The Germans really got him a full set of equipment!
Seeing that there were so many supplies right in front of him, and that they were completely his own, Jiang Dong almost couldn't help but kiss Carl.
In Jiangdong's mind, he seemed to have seen the soldiers of the Independence Brigade wearing M35 steel helmets, carrying 98k on their shoulders, wearing cowhide belts around their waists, and wearing long military boots!
Although I have received German equipment before, this time is different. This time it is a complete set from head to toe.
Putting on this suit, the appearance of the troops may undergo earth-shaking changes.
If you add it to the German military uniform, it will look like a German army with an oriental face.
To be continued...
