"Reporting to the specialist. Our division has a total of 11,521 people."

"More than eleven thousand?"

"Yes."

"ah……"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

The system shows that there are only more than 10,900.

But Sun Yuanliang's answer was more than 11,000. There was a difference of more than 500.

"Is it full?"

"It's all full."

"How many people are there?"

"That's 11,521 people."

"oh……"

Zhang Yong couldn't help but think of free money.

The vacancies for five hundred people cannot appear for no reason. Unless someone has fallen into an old habit again.

However, Zhang Yong was not angry.

Numb.

This is what the national army is like.

Except for the expeditionary force, there is no one who does not receive free pay.

Note that there is no one, including Wang Yaowu's 74th Army. It is just a matter of more or less.

As far as the 88th Division is concerned, the difference of 500 men is already considered excellent.

Really. It’s probably a logistical difference.

The exclusive logistics department was abolished and civilian workers were temporarily recruited to replace it.

Exclusive logistics porters and coachmen are paid military pay. However, civilian laborers who are temporarily requisitioned are not.

Being able to do this is already pretty good.

In fact, it is almost acquiesced that dedicated logistics does not exist. It is put into the personal pockets of senior officers.

The national army's combat effectiveness is weak, its morale is low, and its logistics...

Are there any logistics?

almost none.

View artillery.

[French M1897 75mm field gun: 12 pieces (battalion level)]

Huh?

So familiar.

Could it be that...

Yes, it was probably the artillery battalion that I got.

In the end, it was allocated to the 88th Division.

There is another artillery battalion, probably given to the 87th Division.

Because I went to the northwest and later stayed at the Presidential Palace, the artillery battalion was robbed.

You don't move troops or anything, but you actually want to create an artillery battalion. It's too much. I have to accept the reality.

Everyone else is in the first phase of Huangpu. At least they are in the third phase.

How many issues does Cao Mengqi have? Nine issues? Ten issues? They are not on the same level at all.

Forget it, let’s take a look at Lao Wang.

View 51st Division personnel.

[51st Division: 8,625 actual personnel (including command organization and exclusive logistics)]

Oh, sure enough there are less people.

"Commander Wang, how many people are there in your army?"

"Reporting to the Commissioner, our department currently has 8,446 soldiers."

"More than eight thousand four hundred?"

"Yes."

"oh……"

Zhang Yong pondered secretly.

Is this considered super-edited by Lao Wang? Two hundred more?

It is estimated that Lao Wang is a pragmatic person. He does not fight uncertain battles and is relatively well prepared before the war.

Since he was transferred to Qingpu, I believe he can guess what the next step will be. Therefore, instead of having empty pay, the army has an excess of 200 troops.

Where did the military pay for these two hundred men come from? Lao Wang must have done it himself.

At this moment, the 51st Division is still a second-class unit. It is a miracle that the Ministry of Military Affairs can fully allocate funds according to the establishment.

According to later information, it seems that Lao Wang once ran a biscuit factory to make money and provide benefits to the officers and soldiers of the 74th Army. Therefore, during the Anti-Japanese War, the 74th Army fought in full force. Morale has always been good.

The first-class main force is not something that is trumpeted. It is tempered by actual practice. Counting from the beginning of the all-out war of resistance, the soldiers of the 74th Army may have been replaced five or six times. Countless sacrifices have been made.

"Commissioner, our department is not fully staffed yet..."

"knew."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Lao Wang is really down-to-earth. He only wants people.

Relatively speaking, Sun Yuanliang is a bit superficial and his work is not detailed enough.

View artillery.

result……

[Query results: None. (Only direct-fire guns are counted)]

Uh, that's kind of bad.

Wang Yaowu's 51st Division didn't even have a direct-fire gun.

I wonder if there are mortars? Even if there are, there are probably only a few. The supporting firepower is pitifully weak!

It is really dangerous to go directly to the battlefield with such crude weapons and equipment.

However, this was the reality at the time.

Except for a few German weapon divisions who are slightly better, the other divisions are almost cannon fodder.

"Commissioner, I'll take my leave first."

"Okay. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"please."

"please."

After seeing off Sun Yuanliang, Zhang Yong and Wang Yaowu came to Qingpu.

The 1,300 student soldiers have been assembled. Yang Buqing and Song Youming have arrived in advance to receive them.

The reason why Zhang Yong was invited here was simply to show that he was valued.

Military uniforms have been issued, but there are no weapons yet. Zhang Yong needs to deal with the weapons himself.

Properly bring your own dry food...

No. You are paid to work.

"Commissioner."

"Commissioner."

Yang Buqing and Song Youming came up.

Because of their meritorious service in escort, both of them have been promoted to major generals.

But the specific positions have not changed yet. Because they are from the Air Force and do not want to go to the Army.

Zhang Yong stood on the high platform and delivered a brief speech.
