    "As expected of the Zhejiang Army, when we take out this equipment, we can shrink not just one regiment, but two regiments. I am very confident, haha" Zhang Zongxian's laughter was full of magic, with the arrogance of a villain who succeeds.  Wang Dengke followed with a silly smile. He was also looking forward to the day when Qi Xieyuan came to the door.  In the arena, this is called sap.  Wang Dengke followed Zhang Zongxian and said with a smile on his face: "In the hotel, the old principal said that he hopes we can complete the handover of equipment as soon as possible. After the third division leaves Lincheng, the fifth division is likely to encounter changes in the near future. We need  Familiar with the performance of the new equipment. " "Yes, I almost forgot about business. I will go and show the weapons list to Commander Zheng. You and others will hand over the weapons list to General Jiang Fangzhen. Also" Zhang Zongxian paused and pondered for a while.  , said: "We are not familiar with many of the weapons on the weapons list given by General Jiang" Wang Dengke also knew it well, and thought to himself: "What is unfamiliar is that we have never seen it at all." The wealthy Zhejiang Army  The equipment provided includes more than 4,000 rifles, more than 1,000 rifles, and more than 500 Colt pistols, as well as mortars, 75mm rapid-fire cannons, light and heavy machine guns and other weapons.  The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division were a bit rubbish, mainly due to poverty. Zhang Zongxian understood that there was not even a light machine gun in the Fifth Division, let alone mortars and other weapons.  Light machine guns are a rarity in the Beiyang army, and there are not many in the army of the Republic of China.  This is also the reason why the Fengjun army had almost as many machine guns as artillery pieces in the last two Zhizhi-Fengtian wars.  It is basically a support weapon at the regiment level, and there are only one or two in a regiment, all of which are Maxim heavy machine guns.  In the first Zhili-Fengtian war, the number of machine guns in the 100,000-Fengtian army was less than 100.  Having this amount of machine guns is unimaginable for armies in the Western world.  When the Americans participated in the European war, it was already at the end of World War I. A division-level combat unit had more than 350 machine guns.  This number is similar to that of the British Army, and the crazy French have pushed the number of machine guns in the army to a terrifying figure of more than 1,000.  In other words, in the later stages of trench warfare, both the French and the Germans had given up on infantry charges, and everyone was firing machine guns in the trenches in tacit agreement.  Then wait for the unlucky guy who was ordered to charge by the brain-twitching boss to bump into him Yes, it must be the kind that bumps into him with his head on the muzzle of the gun.  For these countries, machine guns are an industrial product. Before the manufacturing industry collapses completely, they are weapons that can be built on a large scale.  Even if Europe has become a mess, for France and the United Kingdom, they still have the United States, a powerful manufacturing industrial country, which can continuously provide them with an astonishing number of weapons.  The light machine gun also shined in World War I. Although this light-weight, easy-to-move weapon has many shortcomings, compared with Maxim's heavy machine gun that requires the cooperation of multiple people, the light machine gun that can be used by one person is the most  Paired with an ammo hand and secondary shooter, the automatic weapon is fully capable and even more elusive and unpredictable.  The machine guns of World War I were dominated by Maxim in the early stage, but in the later stage, they were completely dominated by various light machine guns.  But in the Republic of China, it was completely different.  Zhang Zuolin¡¯s Fengtian Arsenal has just been put into operation, and it was unable to do anything in the early stage, so the output of the arsenal was more focused on ammunition supply.  The same is true for Taiyuan Arsenal. Yan Xishan is a pragmatic person, but compared with having the manufacturing drawings and technical support to imitate a machine gun, his path is more difficult.  The only ones capable of producing machine guns were the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Hanyang Arsenal. One had no funds, and the other was constrained by heavy rifle orders. It was difficult to spare the energy to manufacture machine guns with more complicated processes than rifles.  Imports can only obtain machine guns through imports, which has become the only possibility for the Beiyang Army to obtain machine guns on a large scale.  But Cao Kun won¡¯t talk about it. It really doesn¡¯t make sense to say that he is the backer supported by the British and Americans.  Because these two countries did not provide Cao Kun with any weapons at all.  Zhang Zuolin also encountered a dilemma. The source of his weapons should be Japan, but the Japanese Army was also very poor. The goal of modernization had been put forward. The list of weapons assigned according to European firepower standards had just been sent to the Kokura Arsenal. The people at the factory were angry.  Baga, don¡¯t you know that your country¡¯s military manufacturing industry requires a limited guarantee for the navy?  In later generations, the four major arsenals in Asia have been said to be the Kokura Arsenal, the Incheon Arsenal, the Fengtian Arsenal and the Hanyang Arsenal.  Incheon is just a prototype, Fengtian has just started to get on the right track, and the real strength is Hanyang Arsenal.  Just looking at the data, Hanyang Arsenal can produce 15,000 rifles a month at its maximum production. This is a terrifying data, that isIt is said that it can produce 500 Hanyang products every day.  But the Hanyang Arsenal only did one thing during the Beiyang period, manufacturing products made in Hanyang, and pushing the craftsmanship made in Hanyang to the pinnacle level of the Republic of China and even the world.  To be fair, even the Germans in Germany, where Hanyang was made, have never been so concerned about this rifle.  Everyone knows that Mauser guns are good, but they cost 98k and were not made in Hanyang.  As the infantry brigade commander of the Fifth Division, Zhang Zongxian knew what the weapons list in his hand represented.  There is no reason why Zheng Shiqi should not know the power of this weapons list. As long as the equipment is changed, the fifth division will be completely transformed.  Looking at the weapons in his hands, Zheng Shiqi trembled with excitement. He originally entrusted the Fifth Division to the Zhejiang Army in order to allow the Fifth Division to retain some of its firepower.  "But the Fifth Division, which has money, guns and artillery, still looks for a den like a lost dog, with its head lying on its side?"  Obviously the situation has been completely reversed. He is confident that as long as the soldiers are familiar with the performance of the weapons, Qi Xieyuan?  Humph He's just a fart!  Forced into a decision by reality, Zheng Shiqi laughed like a devil, and then said confidently: "Qi Xieyuan, I'm going to beat the shit out of him!" Zhang Zongxian was dumbfounded and felt something was wrong. First, he thought Zheng Shiqi had plagiarized him.  His words were suspicious, because he also said the same thing in front of Wang Dengke.  Secondly, when Zheng Shiqi said this, he also revealed another meaning: he would not leave.  If Zheng Shiqi doesn't leave, how can Zhang Zongxian come to power?  Originally, he thought that he was the one who made the decision in the fifth division, but in a blink of an eye, Boss Zheng seemed to want to take back the things he had sent out, which made him feel aggrieved: "Master, didn't you saythat one wants to go back to Tianjin?"  ?¡± Senior officials in Beiyang all like to spend their old age in Tianjin after leaving office. This is of course due to climate, and more importantly, due to regional influence.  Although the concessions in Shanghai are good and more prosperous than those in Tianjin, they are almost the same as those in the urban area.  ¡°And Shanghai is where the southern power is concentrated. Even in the concession, if a senior official from Beiyang retires, he may not be able to live in peace.  Unlike Tang Shaoyi, who served as deputy during Yuan Shikai's period and was also a member of the "Kuomintang".  The generals in Beiyang all relied on suppressing the "Kuomintang" war after war. When they arrive in Shanghai, they are likely to be settled by the "Kuomintang" people.  Even now, Shanghai has fallen into the hands of Wang Xueqian, but the relationship between Wang Xueqian and Beiyang is inseparable, and it is estimated that they will soon become incompatible.  In such a situation, going to Shanghai to live in seclusion is almost as stupid as having someone slap you in the face.  Of course, no one who is a commander-in-chief is willing to give up his military power if he can refuse to leave the field.  After all, after being a Qiu Ba for a long time, who doesn¡¯t have a life-and-death enemy?  Without an army, it would be much easier for the enemy to seek revenge, at least there wouldn¡¯t be too much fear.  For ordinary people, money is courage.  But for generals, it is heroic to have equipment.  Why did Zheng Shiqi want to hand over the command of the Fifth Division?  Isn't it because I'm not brave enough and don't have enough equipment?  Now, Jiang Fangzhen, the chief of general staff of the Zhejiang Army, suddenly fattened up his courage.  If he continues to be cowardly at this time, he will even look down on himself.  Zhang Zongxian returned to the camp with a bitter disappointment, but when he saw the assembled cannon, the piles of ammunition and weapon boxes, and the smell of industrial butter filling the camp, he felt better.  a little.  After the machine guns were assembled and placed in the open space, the feeling of looking down on the world finally came back.  The Fifth Division, after changing its master, finally stepped onto the stage of the Republic of China again.  And on the land of Qilu, there is another person whose ambition has also expanded, burning his ambition like a flame. This person is Qi Xieyuan.  The Fifth Division could know that the Third Division had left Shandong, and Qi Xieyuan also knew.  After the sharp knife hanging above his head disappeared without a trace, Qi Xieyuan felt his back stand upright.  At this moment, he is the master of this land, the veritable governor of Shandong, and the real official of the frontier.  The ammunition was gone, so he was not in a hurry. It was just an ammunition depot, and he could still bear the loss.  If he and his Sixth Division want to truly control Shandong, they must bring down the arrogance of the Fifth Division.  Since Zheng Shiqi still refuses to bow his head, then he will see the truth on the battlefield.  But his chief of staff Li Yue reminded him worriedly: "Commander, something is wrong!" "What's wrong? I am the governor of Shandong. When I say the Fifth Division is rebellious, it means rebellion." Qi Xieyuan did not intend to listen to Li Xieyuan at all.?'s analysis, the right way is to have an arrow on the string and have to shoot it.  This is the situation he is in now.  Instead, he growled with a gloomy face: "On the land of Qilu, there is only one voice, and that is the voice of me, Qi Xieyuan, and no one else can." "Commander, Marshal Yu cannot trust our Sixth Division to begin with, but now  There is no battle at all on the Yuguan line, and it is weird to move the third division away from Shandong. I am worried that Yanjing will send another army over." Li Yue expressed his worries in line with his duties as a chief of staff.  But facing Qi Xieyuan's face that didn't listen at all, he could only sigh secretly in his heart.  Is Qi Xieyuan a self-willed man?  ¡°Obviously not, he is not considered to be resourceful and resourceful, but among the governors of Beiyang, he can be regarded as a capable commander.  He also has a good sense of politics, and his message to his subordinates is also very simple: "As long as there is an iron barrel in Shandong, whether it is Marshal Zhang entering the border or Marshal Yu winning a big victory, as long as the situation becomes an established fact, they will also listen to my opinion.  It¡¯s not like when the Third Division was in Lincheng, I was just a piece of meat on the chopping board.¡± After saying that, Qi Xieyuan said with cold eyes: ¡°It will take a few days at the earliest to mobilize the troops.¡± ¡°If we wait to replenish ammunition, it will take about ten.  About the sky." Li Yue said truthfully.  Qi Xieyuan waved his hands impatiently and said: "It's too slow. The army will set off in seven days!"
