Flat-firing artillery, this Zhang Wei's heart disease, is basically solved, eight Liao 14-year-style 37 flat-firing guns, for Zhang Wei and the second regiment, in this time period and at this juncture, it is precisely the most suitable, and unexpectedly, the person who sells the cannon can also provide the source of shells, which is equivalent to the logistics supplement has most of the guarantee, Zhang Wei did not want to lose this rare opportunity, decided to buy all the artillery, eight brand new artillery, enough for Zhang Wei to have a good training, the day to determine the way of preparing this batch of artillery is not far away, As soon as the artillery is in place, the grouping plan of the anti-aircraft artillery unit can be launched immediately.
Zhang Wei slapped the board, He Kun returned to Xing'an Town on the same day, to discuss the details of this business, by the way, He Kun also planned to cut the price, Zhang Wei learned from He Kun's mouth that the price of a single cannon offered by the cannon seller was six gold bars, or one hundred and eighty yuan of the ocean, the value of the two is roughly the same, after learning this price, in fact, Zhang Wei did not think it was expensive, and the bandits would take fifty or sixty yuan to collect a half-old Czech light machine gun, not to mention a brand-new flat-fire gun.
In addition, the current treasury of the teaching brigade is still there, and the money in hand of the teaching brigade is mainly divided into three parts, one is the ocean, one is the gold bar, and the other part is not very valuable, it is the fiat currency left over from the public fund after many replenishments.
These days, the officers and men of the Second Regiment have been replenished, and most of the money spent is fiat currency, ocean, and gold, and so far it has not been touched at all.
This batch of gold was a whole box of gold bars that Zhang Wei seized from an unscrupulous trader on the road during the retreat of the Battle of Lanfeng, and it has not been used yet, so Zhang Wei did not have much touch on the selling price of the artillery.
But He Kun is different, he strongly expressed his feelings to Zhang Wei, felt that he should bargain, and full of confidence, seeing He Kun so active, Zhang Wei was also approved, saving money is a good thing after all, before leaving, He Kun asked Zhang Wei for some troops, from the engineer platoon of the teaching brigade, a squad of capable soldiers, with a baggage squad under He Kun, returned to Xing'an Town together, each with a twenty-shot or barge gun, and with a grenade and a bayonet, in He Kun's words, the reason for sending additional manpower is to bargain Pressing the scene. ” When talking about business, the black marketeer surnamed Hu, the strength of the guns under his hands, really scared He Kun, this time when he came back, He Kun made up his mind to bring the veteran of the engineer platoon, and he also had the confidence to bargain After He Kun left, he supplemented the second regiment and waited for the arrival of this batch of Liao 14-type 37 flat-fire guns, if this business was successful, then the changes and benefits brought by these eight artillery pieces to the supplementary second regiment would be extremely huge.
After He Kun left, Zhang Wei has been thinking about the way of organizing the flat-firing artillery, whether to form a company, or not to form a flat-fire artillery company, but to adopt other ways of groupingZhang Wei has drawn up several grouping plans in his mind, one is to concentrate the artillery, and organize it into a flat-fire artillery company with two or three subordinate artillery platoons, and the other plan is not to form a company, but to form a mixed artillery company with mortars, and all kinds of plans are looming in Zhang Wei's mind.
However, the artillery has not yet arrived, and this specific establishment still has to draw experience from actual exercises and daily management, so he has not yet been able to make a final decision "Captain, telegram in the army" On this day, in the regiment headquarters, while Zhang Wei was looking forward to the flat-firing guns, another telegram was sent to the Second Supplementary Regiment, Qiu Wei trotted to take the telegram to Zhang Wei, looking at the always steady Qiu Wei's happy appearance, Zhang Wei knew that there was good news in the army, and this good news was probably not ordinary.
"What's the news," Zhang Wei asked.
Qiu Wei read the telegram: "There is news from the army, captain, no, the regimental seat, absolutely right good news, this first, the official appointment of the captain you as the commander of the second regiment, second, the supplement to us, will arrive soon." ” "Oh" As soon as Qiu Wei took the two words, Zhang Wei snatched the telegram and quickly read the information in the telegram.
"I hereby order Zhang Wei, captain of the teaching brigade directly under the Fifth Army of the Army, to be the lieutenant colonel of the Second Field Supplementary Regiment of the Fifth Army of the Army, the situation of the regiment is relatively special, the regimental officers, for the time being, there is no deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel, only a major attached to the regiment, and the remaining officers are all assigned according to the establishment, and the appointment of the officers is left to Zhang Wei's own decision, so that he can appoint it on his own, and the teaching brigade directly under the Fifth Army will be merged into the Second Field Supplementary Regiment of the Fifth Army as a whole from now on, and the personnel and guns and equipment will be included in the regiment system."
"In addition, the regiment's advance application for supplementary ammunition and soldiers, has now been approved, and the allocation of surplus weapons and equipment of the regiment of the entire regiment shall be transferred and allocated by the weapons depots of the army stationed in Quanzhou, and the ordnance department shall be responsible for the allocation, and it is expected to be delivered to the garrison of the supplementary second regiment within seven days, and Zhang Wei's formal letter of appointment will be given, and the supplementary weapons and equipment will be allocated to the supplementary second regiment, and the application for the replenishment of 1,600 recruits shall also be prepared for allocation, preparation, and the new recruits will be transferred from the Guizhou Division to supplement the regiment 1, with about 1,500 soldiers, and from the Guangxi Wound Management Department. 600 wounded soldiers from the wounded management department were requisitioned, and the two departments worked together to replenish them, and the Guizhou supplementary regiment has now set off, the road is quite long, and its arrival date is to be determined."
After reading it, it was indeed good news, Zhang Wei sighed happily.
With the letter of appointment, Zhang Wei, the head of the supplementary second regiment, is completely solid from today onwards, and from now on, Zhang Wei will no longer be a black official, but a real regiment leader "Okay," Zhang Wei exclaimed.
"Captain, no, look at my mouth, Tuanzuo, not only have you been promoted, but this supplement is also strong enough, among our recruits, there are 600 wounded soldiers in the wounded management department, which are all wounded soldiers who have been evacuated and contained on the battlefield, those are all soldiers who have fought and been wounded, these soldiers, no matter what, are much stronger than those strong men captured in the division management area, and there are more than 1,500 soldiers who have been replenished to us from the division management area, and they have come here from Guizhou, according to the number of losses, I estimate that there is no problem with the remaining 1,000 people, That's just 1,600 people.
Qiu Wei said happily.
Zhang Wei also saw that there were 1,500 men in the supplementary regiment of the division management area starting from Guizhou, 600 people in the Guangxi Wounded Management Department, and 2,100 people in the two families combined, and the number of recruits Zhang Wei applied for replenishment was 1,600.
According to the usual practice, the number of strong men sent by the division is one number when they set off, and they deserted along the way, died, and lost some of their personnel, and when the supplementary regiment in the division area arrived at the receiving troops, it was another number, so the number of 1,500 people in the division area was equivalent to the number of losses on the road in advance, which shows that the army is very concerned about the supplementary second regiment, of course, this is really a helpless move of the backward and inefficient supplementary army system, but for the supplementary second regiment, this is a good thing Zhang Wei said with satisfaction: "Good news and good news in the past two days, this regiment will soon not be just a shelf, but flesh and blood, artillery, soldiers, guns and bullets, all are about to be there, good thing" ：。
