Chapter 130 Firepower Configuration
"Wang Yaowu? It's a good name." After hearing Wang Er's new name, Song Dinghan nodded and praised.
"Yes, I feel so too." Wang Yaowu sat next to Song Dinghan and said proudly. "Thanks to the boss, my name is worthy of the title of Minister of Military Affairs."
Looking at Wang Yaowu's appearance, Song Dinghan was a little amused and crying.
Ignoring the two people beside him, Luo Lun was reporting on Yan Guang's situation in recent times.
In fact, there is nothing to say. Even after learning that Yan Guang occupied Chongqing, some remote prefectures and counties also sent people to express their willingness to join the military government. Some of the people who were unwilling to surrender were directly tied up by their subordinates. Some of them wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and were also suppressed by the 12th Brigade who was left behind.
"Yaowu!" After listening to Luo Lun's report, Yan Guang called out to Wang Yaowu, who was chatting with Song Dinghan.
However, perhaps because he was too devoted to the conversation, or because he had not adapted to his new name, so Wang Yaowu had no reaction at all after being called.
"Yaowu? Yaowu?" He shouted twice in a row, and until Song Dinghan, who was talking to Wang Yaowu, pointed at him, Wang Yaowu reacted.
"What's the matter? Boss?" A little embarrassed, Wang Yaowu walked to Yan Guang.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about changing your name back..."
“…”
"How is the situation with Peng Xiu?" After signaling Song Dinghan on the side, Yan Guang asked about the serious matter.
Hearing Yan Guang ask about the serious matter, Wang Yaowu quickly replied. "Boss, after the selection of the Shu army prisoners you sent back, they have selected more than 12,000 people. Now they have been organized into four artillery regiments and two infantry regiments for training. That boy Peng Xiu is squatting there now. After one artillery regiment and two infantry regiments belonging to him are trained, he will take him back to his own station to be a division commander."
"That boy..." Yan Guang shook his head with a smile. "No wonder I didn't see him even when I came back."
Wang Yaowu and Luo Lun also laughed. "Boss, don't know. That kid is now focused on being a division commander, and he always says that he and Yang Shan came out together, so why should he be the brigade commander Yang Shan be a division commander?"
"Who made him unlucky? He captured the brigade commander when he was drawing lots." Yan Guang curled his lips and revealed a dark history.
"No matter what, that kid finally got what he wants." Wang Yaowu said with a smile. "It will save him from being upset in our ears..."
"You are so flirting with him, be careful that that kid comes back to settle the score with you." Tang Wei and Wen Jing, who were sitting aside, laughed "haha".
Wang Yaowu said "cut". "In terms of marksmanship, I am better than him. In terms of fists and feet, I am better than him. Even if he knows, how can he be with me?"
When the few people were almost laughing and making fun, Zhu Qinglan and Yang Shan happened to walk in.
"Ziqiao, Yangshan!" Yan Guang waved to Zhu Qinglan.
"Governor." Zhu Qinglan and Yang Shan hurried over and said.
"You are here just in time, and I'm going to tell you something."
After hearing what Yan Guang said, everyone else turned their attention to hear what Yan Guang wanted to say.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to talk about the distribution of the batch of arms I bought from the Germans and the British."
"Oh?" Now Wang Yaowu, Zhu Qinglan and Yang Shan all focused on it, especially Zhu Qinglan and Yang Shan. The direct users of this group of arms were them.
After all the people present calmed down, Yan Guang cleared his throat.
"You also know that at present, our Sichuan Army has a total of 2 and a half divisions, namely the 2nd Division in Yangshan, the 3rd Division in Ziqiao and the 12th Brigade of Peng Xiu. In addition, there are 2 and a half divisions under construction, namely the 1st Division and the 5th Division. After the formation, half of the division will be reorganized with Peng Xiu's 12th Brigade to form the 4th Division..."
"Except for the 3rd Division in Ziqiao, which is all made in Hanyang, other troops use weapons that are very diverse, such as the 2nd Division and the 12th Brigade, which use the Kuli gun and the old Mauser rifle, while the newly formed two and a half divisions use the Kuli guns produced by the arsenal and the older Lindenming and Martini..."
"This time, I bought 60,000 1888 committee rifles and 10,000 Browning 1900 pistols from the Germans and the British. This batch of arms will arrive in one month. After the arrival, I will allocate 40,000 pistols to Yangshan. Your 2nd Division has the remaining 3 divisions to change the clothes. The existing 5 divisions in terms of pistols will be replaced with Browning..."
The other people nodded, especially Zhu Qinglan. Now his third division is made in Hanyang, so there is no need to change his clothes.
"There are also 200 field guns and 100 mountain guns I ordered. It turns out that due to insufficient equipment, each division except for Ziqiao's 3rd Division was only equipped with an artillery battalion. After the light guns I ordered arrived this time, each division was changed to the 5th regiment system (4 infantry regiments, one artillery regiment)." Yan Guang smiled at Zhu Qinglan as he said. "Some of your artillery regiment's artillery regiment's artillery regiment are old, so let's change them together this time..."
"Thank you, Governor..."
"Also, the artillery regiment now adopts the 3rd company and 6-door system. After the guns I ordered arrive, all of them will be changed to the 4th company and 6-door system." During World War I, countries generally adopted the 3rd company and 4 guns in each company, and 3 companies were one battalion. At that time, the Chinese teams such as the Beiyang Army adopted the 3rd company and 6-door system, which is the number of 18 gates in a battalion, which is much stronger in terms of firepower and reaction speed...
"Really?" Zhu Qinglan and Yang Shan said in surprise. If it is really changed to the 6-door system of the 4th company, then each division can have 72 cannons.
"Of course." Yan Guang nodded and continued.
"The arsenal also seems to have begun to test the mortar. If the trial production is successful, you can also add a direct mortar company under each regiment..."
"oh…"
Compared with the 75mm mountain cannon and field cannon, Zhu Qinglan and others are obviously not interested in mortars, but it is no wonder that compared with the huge mountain cannon and field cannon, the mortars are too slim and do not look very powerful.
Shaking his head, Yan Guang knew that he needed to wait until the mortar came out and let them see the power before he could reverse their concept.
"As for the 3,000 Maderson machine guns and 400 Maxim machine guns I ordered..."
When it comes to machine guns, Zhu Qinglan and the others sat upright. After all, they have heard of the role of heavy machine guns in the Yangxia defense battle, although that role is only for the Beiyang Army on the attacking side.
"Each division is equipped with one direct machine gun battalion, and the regiment is equipped with one direct machine gun company. It also uses 6 4th company and 5 divisions, a total of 240 Maxim heavy machine guns, and Madson light machine guns. There is no need to do direct machine guns for each squad, and 2,160 in the entire army..."
After listening to Yan Guang's distribution method, Zhu Qinglan, Yang Shan and others could simply describe it as light-emitting eyes. Because if the five divisions of the Sichuan Army were really arranged according to Yan Guang's oral statement, then after the reorganization was completed, the firepower of these five divisions would at least be the strongest in Asia...
