The temperature in the Jiangnan area is erratic, with light rain for a while, and bright sunshine for a while, just like the face of an old lady, it is cloudy and sunny, making it hard to figure out.

Hangzhou Bay Wharf.

At this time, it was drizzling and smoky.

The pier was heavily guarded, and German soldiers with submachine guns were stationed everywhere.

A convoy drove to the pier through the rain.

The car door opened, a pair of shiny leather boots stepped on the rain, and a young general stepped out of the car.

Immediately a lieutenant colonel held up an umbrella for him.

"Director, all the equipment of the two German mechanists has arrived at the pier, and they can be unloaded and loaded into the truck after the payment is cleared." Xu Tianyin said in a low voice.

"Have you inspected the goods?" Liang Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"It's been tested, there's no problem." Xu Tianyin said.

A flash of heartache flashed across Liang Xiao Lengjun's face. The equipment of these two German mechanists cost a total of 150 million US dollars.

"Has the munitions delivery vehicle of the detective brigade arrived yet?"

"Here we are, there are thirty trucks in total, all waiting at the pier." Xu Tianyin said.

"Go and see the German equipment." Liang Xiao said.

Accompanied by a group of officers.

Liang Xiao came to the pier, a total of six ships were docked at the pier, and the hulls of the ships were marked in German.

A big and round dé countryman stepped out of the cargo ship.

His name is Lesen, and he is one of the leaders of the underground arms dealers in the country.

"Mr. Liang from the East, we meet again〃〃." After seeing Liang Xiao, Lai Sen's face was full of excitement.

"Mr. Layson, long time no see." Liang Xiao smiled slightly.

The two met at the Brandon special training camp.

Lai Sen is the trainee instructor, and Liang Xiao is the trainee.

The two had spent several months together at the Brandon special training camp and had gotten to know each other a bit.

When Liang Xiao came back from Dé country, Laisen specially hosted a banquet to keep him, hoping that he could stay and develop in Dé country. He resolutely rejected Leisen's proposal and embarked on the journey back to China.

"Mr. Layson, I really didn't expect you to be the one who transported the ordnance this time." Liang Xiao said with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Mr. Liang, I didn't expect you to become a general of your country in such a short time after returning to China, and even bought German weapons and equipment for two divisions at once. It seems that you are really rich." Lesen laughed humorously.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "If I had listened to your suggestion and stayed in Berlin to hang out with you, I guess I could become a small boss now."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "If I had listened to your suggestion and stayed in Berlin to hang out with you, I guess I could become a small boss now."

"No... your teacher said that if you are willing to stay, he promised to make you one of our decision makers." Leysen said.

"Mr. Layson, if I take off my military uniform now, would you still want me?" Liang Xiao laughed.

"Using your words, our temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha." Lai Sen shook his head with a smile.

"Lei Sen, let's get down to business, I want to check another side of the ordnance." Liang Xiao said.

"No problem, please come aboard."

Laisen invited Liang Xiao and other officers to the ship full of munitions.

In the cabin, there are piles of wooden boxes.

Liang Xiao opened the box with his own hands, and there were brand new German Mauser 98 rifles inside, a total of twenty.

He took out a Mauser rifle from it and tried it in his hand. It was indeed a Mauser rifle. He had played this kind of firearm in Dé country for a long time, and he was very familiar with the structure of the gun body and the use of firearms.

"Mr. Liang, there are a total of 98 Mauser 75 rifles, 75 Maxim heavy machine guns, 105 light machine guns, ten German-made 100mm Krupp mountain guns, ten German-made 75mm Bofors mountain guns, two Ten 150MM howitzers with [-] million rounds of bullets and [-] rounds of artillery shells. In addition, we also kindly presented Mr. Liang with one hundred Maxim heavy machine guns, two hundred light machine guns, and five [-]mm Krupp mountain guns , two [-]mm howitzers, two thousand rounds of shells, how about it?" Lesen said with a smile.

"Thank you teacher, thank you Mr. Layson."

Liang Xiao expressed his gratitude to him, one hundred Maxim heavy machine guns, two hundred light machine guns, five 75mm mountain guns and two 150mm howitzers. These heavy firepower weapons are what he needs most at present.

"You are our big customer, I hope we can cooperate more in the future." Leysen laughed.

"There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Liang Xiao sneered in his heart. The dé arms dealer really regarded him as a fat sheep. If his arsenal was not too small to produce heavy weapons, he would never take money Purchase German weapons and ammunition.

"' 〃By the way, you requested an additional [-] German steel helmets in the telegram. We don't have much stock over there, so we only shipped [-] steel helmets. We will ship the remaining [-] steel helmets to you in the near future. Come. Laysen said.

"Why is Mr. Laysen coming to our country soon?" Liang Xiao's heart moved. It seems that someone from the military faction also got in touch with the dé arms dealer and secretly purchased arms from the dé arms dealer.

"The Guangxi Army of your government has ordered German weapons and equipment for a reorganized division from us. After I go back this time, I will come to your country again." Lesen said.

Gui Jun?

Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, it seems that they also realize that the wheels of war have been rolled over.

"Come here, show Mr. Layson the funds." Liang Xiao waved his hand.

Eight soldiers came in carrying four large boxes.

The box was opened, and it was full of the largest denomination of dollars.

(Okay) A happy smile appeared on Laysen's face: "Mr. Liang, you are so proud."

"Lei Sen, ask your people to count the funds. I'm going to unload the weapons and load them into the truck." Liang Xiao urged.

"no problem."

Leysen snapped his fingers, and immediately a dé countryman who professionally counted funds came over to count the four boxes of dollars.

After about half an hour.

After the funds were counted, it was exactly 150 million US dollars.

"After the funds have been checked, you can let your people unload and load the truck." Leysen laughed.

Liang Xiao turned around and nodded to Xu Tianyin, who immediately arranged for soldiers to board the ship to load and unload the ammunition.

"Your government ordered a piece of German armored equipment from our government for 90 US dollars, but you bought a German armored equipment with only 75 US dollars. Compared with your country's government, you choose to make a deal with us It's a wise move." Laysen laughed. .

Chapter 353 Troop Expansion

All the ordnance was unloaded from the ship and loaded onto the trucks transporting the ammunition, and the detective brigade was responsible for escorting the German weapons and ammunition to Nanjing for handover.

Liang Xiao sent a telegram to the committee member, saying that the armaments of the two German Armor Divisions had been shipped to Nanjing, and asked the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to send someone to take over.

Of course, the Maxim heavy machine gun and light machine gun, as well as the mountain cannon and howitzer presented by Leysen were withheld by him. After all, these were bonus gifts and were not included.

As for the [-] steel helmets, they were also included in the gifts.

He asked Zheng Baozhen to transport the helmet to the Songhu-Hangzhou Military Information Zone, and sent someone to dye the helmet with camouflage, and painted the blue sky and white sun pattern on the front of the helmet.

The defense of German-style steel helmets was of the highest quality during World War II, much better than the quality of Japanese-made steel helmets.

After everything is arranged properly.

He personally dialed Qian Dajun's phone number and asked him to mention it in front of the commissioner. The commissioner promised him last time that as long as he bought back the armaments of two German armorers for the government, he would expand the special operations group into a special warfare group. Brigade, now he has asked the detective brigade to transport the German weapons to Nanjing, and it is time for the committee to fulfill its promise.

Qian Dajun revealed to him that the Military Commission is currently formulating the defense system of the Songhu-Hangzhou National Army, and intends to transfer his troops to station in the area from Hangzhou Bay to Jinshanwei.

This is exactly what Liang Xiao meant. Hangzhou Bay and Jinshan 047 Guard are the key places for the Japanese army to land and operate. His troops can also ensure the flanks of the frontal troops of the national army.

Of course, the area from Hangzhou Bay to Jinshanwei is vast, and it is impossible for him alone to defend it with a special operations group. At least one reorganization division must be deployed.

Two days later, the Military Commission sent a telegram.

The special warfare regiment was expanded into a Type A special warfare brigade, with three regiments under its jurisdiction, three battalions under the regiment, and three companies under the battalion, and so on this time.

The staffing of the Special Operations Brigade is 2000 people, including the guard company, artillery company, pistol company, machine gun company, etc. directly under the brigade headquarters.

The Military Commission transferred a squadron from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, with a total of 800 people. These 800 people were all graduates and instructors of the Central Military Academy, and were incorporated into the special warfare brigade.

Another German Armor Regiment was transferred from the 98th Division of the Central Army and incorporated into the special warfare brigade.

The first security regiment and the third security regiment newly trained by the Zhejiang Security Department were incorporated into the special warfare brigade together.

There are a total of 600 troops, all of which are equipped with new German weapons.

The order of the Military Commission was to ask Liang Xiao to use the Lieutenant Colonel Military Academy's teaching group as the backbone force to quickly set up the framework of the Special Operations Brigade, and the troops quickly adapted and deployed (affi) to garrison in the Jinshanwei area.

Received the order of the Military Commission.

Liang Xiao went to the Special Operations Regiment to convene a meeting of officers. He planned to expand the three existing special operations battalions into two special operations regiments. The armed regiment disrupted the organization and added three regiments of the special warfare brigade.

Subsequently, artillery talents were selected from the whole brigade to form three [-]nd infantry artillery battalions, three mortar battalions, and three mountain artillery battalions.

As for the appointment of the officers of each regiment, it will be put on hold for the time being, and a decision will be made after the expanded troops go to Hangzhou.

The meaning of the Military Commission is very clear. The backbone of the special warfare brigade must be graduates of the Central Military Academy.

Liang Xiao didn't care much about these things. For him, no matter if it was a local army or a graduate of the Central Military Academy, as long as he didn't have a bad fight, he dared to use it with confidence.

a few days later.

The 98th Division German Weaponry Regiment was ordered to rush to Hangzhou for reorganization.

The squadron of the teaching team of the Central Military Academy was also ordered to come to accept the reorganization.

The squadron of the teaching team of the Central Military Academy was also ordered to come to accept the reorganization.

Zhejiang Security Group [-] and Security Group [-] went to Hangzhou for reorganization.

The meeting room of the military intelligence zone.

Liang Xiao presided over the reorganization meeting. Below him, besides Zhou Shiji, Sun Bing, Qi Ming, Cao Xian and other officers, there were also many officers with unfamiliar faces.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yang Kaiyu of the Fourth Squadron of the Low Vocational Teaching Corps." A Lieutenant Colonel officer with a military posture stood up and said.

"Colonel Chang Zhenguo, former head of the third regiment of the 98th Division."

"Bai Jingshan, the lieutenant colonel of the No. [-] Zhejiang Security Regiment."

"Cui Xingde, lieutenant colonel of the No. [-] Zhejiang Security Regiment."

Liang Xiao pressed his hand, signaled all the officers to sit down, and said solemnly: "This time, according to the order of the Military Commission, the Special Operations Brigade will be expanded into a Type A three-regiment system, and the original three Special Operations Battalions will be expanded into two Special Operations Regiments. , the first security regiment and the third security regiment were expanded into the third special warfare regiment, the original 98th division's German weapon regiment was disrupted and three special warfare regiments were added, and the fourth squadron of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps was disrupted and supplemented by special warfare Among the troops."

His voice just fell.

Chang Zhenguo, the former head of the 98th Division's German Weaponry Regiment, stood up and objected: "The subordinates are all veterans of the Northern Expedition Army with rich combat experience. If you want to expand, you can't mess up the organizational system. Please consider it carefully."

Chang Zhenguo, graduated from the eighth phase of Whampoa Military Academy.

The German Weaponry Regiment he led was expanded from the battalion directly under the Second Division of the First Army during the Northern Expedition. The troops were very clean, and all of them were graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Reasonably speaking, he shouldn't disrupt the formation of such a force with rich combat effectiveness.

But this German Weaponry Regiment obeys the orders of the Military Commission, not his Liang Xiao. Once the war starts, he must ensure that all the troops of the Special Operations Brigade obey his orders. Therefore, the German Weaponry Regiment must disrupt the organization and chaos. Ed.

"Commander Chang, Mr. Liang is just considering that your department has rich experience in combat effectiveness and is equipped with all German weapons. The purpose of disrupting the organizational system and mixing you up is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole brigade." Liang Xiao said with a serious expression.

"Traveler, please think again." Chang Zhenguo said.

"That's the matter." Liang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Leave the reorganization to Zhou Shiji, Chief of Staff of the Brigade Headquarters. All departments must obey the order and accept the reorganization."

"Yes."

All the officers got up and said.

"The second thing is the appointment of officers after the expansion. The Military Commission asked us to draw up a list by ourselves. Mr. Liang drew up a list of officers based on your resumes and military exploits."

"Special Operations Regiment [-], regiment leader Sun Bing, chief of staff Cao Xian.

"Second Special Operations Regiment, regiment leader Qi Ming, chief of staff Bai Jingshan."

"The Third Special Operations Regiment, head Chang Zhenguo, chief of staff Yang Kaiyu, and deputy head Cui Xingde."

"Do you have any opinions to put forward?" After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he waited quietly for the reaction of the officers below.

According to the officers he appointed, except for the original officers of the Special Operations Regiment who have not been adjusted, the expanded troops and officers have all disrupted the organizational system. The third Special Operations Regiment expanded from two local security regiments is headed by the former 98th Division. The head of the German Weaponry Regiment, one of the two security chiefs was transferred to the Second Special Warfare Regiment as the chief of staff, the other remained as the deputy head of the Third Special Warfare Regiment, and the chief of staff of the Third Special Warfare Regiment was taught by the Central Military Academy to teach Principal Yang Kaiyu is in charge.

In this way, the mixed formation is truly achieved, and the officers and troops are hardly familiar with it.

Of course, small-scale establishments still exist. .
