There are more than 700 people, and there are only more than 700 points in total.

And redeem equipment...

A person almost needs five points.

What is the concept of five points?

It is the equipment of the entire German army. This equipment is not a pieced-up equipment like the 88th Division or the 36th Division.

Actually, we need to correct it here.

There was not much German equipment in the German equipment division in the National Army. Take the 88th Division, the most elite at that time, for example. The light weapons used domestic formal rifles.

The official rifle is imitated by the German 98K.

But 98K is much better than the Miscellaneous Army or Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan Army also used old sleeves, made in Hanyang.

The official rifle was established in 1935 and in the 24th year of the Republic of China. It was named after Chiang Kai-shek.

What's more!

There are also MP18 submachine guns, Czech light machine guns, heavy weapons include civil 24 water-cooled heavy machine guns, civil 20, 82mm mortars. Except for MP18 submachine guns, the others are not produced in Germany.

First of all, it should be noted that, like in the film "The Eight Hundred", calling the 88th Division a German and Mechanical Division during the Battle of Shanghai is inconsistent with historical facts.

For a considerable period of time, the German Army troops were called the Adjustment Division.

Later, in order to distinguish between the troops that were equipped with Soviet and American equipment, the German equipment division was called.

The adjustment division originated from the Great Wall After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Military Commission of the National Government, in accordance with the proposal of the German military adviser, planned to form 60 standard infantry divisions, with the entire division staffing of 11,423 people (field cannon horse-drawn division) or 11,579 people (mountain cannon pack horse division), equipped with 12 field (mountain) cannons, 24 small cannons, 24 82mm mortars, 74 heavy machine guns, and 336 light machine guns.

These 60 standard infantry divisions are the adjustment divisions.

Its characteristics are: the infantry company is a mixed system of 9 squads, and the squad is added to light machine guns; the original regiment-affiliated mortar battalion was scattered to each platoon to enhance the firepower of the tactical units; the original battalion's small cannon platoon was concentrated into a company, which was directly under the regiment.

The troops that were not included in the adjustment division were selected from them and sorted out according to the "Interim Provisional Table of Army Divisions" issued in June 1932, which is called the sorting division.

In order to form an adjustment division, the National Government and the German government signed multiple arms purchase contracts.

As of November 1935, the National Government imported 10,000 rifles (including 100 million bullets), 5,000 light machine guns, 5,000 Mauser automatic pistols (commonly known as box cannons or trumpet guns), 20 anti-tank guns, 240 mortars and several other equipment, all of which were all allocated to the first batch of 10 troops selected as the Adjustment Division.

However, due to the limitations of the country's financial resources and the influence of years of continuous wars, no unit can truly reach the level of a planned adjustment division.

As for the 60 organizing men, they have become the Mirror of Water Moon.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, only the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 14th, 36th, 87th, 88th Divisions and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps (and the Tax Police Corps that are not part of the regular army sequence).

The so-called German-armed division refers to these troops.

The infantry squad of the National Army's German Armed Division was 14 people in full and equipped with a light aircraft.

Class 3 is a row (42 people), and row 3 is a row (126 people).

An infantry battalion consists of three infantry companies (378 people) and a machine gun company of more than 100 people. The machine gun company is equipped with 6 heavy machine guns and 2 82mm mortars.

Each regiment has three infantry battalions and one mortar company; two regiments are a brigade, and two brigades form a division.

The division headquarters directly under the jurisdiction of an artillery battalion, equipped with 12 75mm field artillery, 4 37mm anti-tank guns and 4 20mm anti-aircraft guns.

In addition to direct units such as engineering, baggage, communications, field hospitals, etc., the entire division has 110,000 people (there can be up to 140,000 people in the supplementary regiment during wartime).

Let’s take a look at the standard German military advisor.

According to the "German Infantry Manual: 1939-1945" (1991 edition), the German army trained the infantry divisions before World War II were 17,000, and were under the division headquarters, reconnaissance battalions (600 people), communication battalions (470 people), 3 infantry regiments (3,000 people per regiment), artillery regiments (2,900 people), anti-tank battalions (550 people), engineer battalions (600 people) and division-affiliated logistics teams.

Each infantry regiment has 3 infantry battalions (850 people), 1 artillery company (2 150mm heavy infantry artillery, 8 75mm infantry artillery), and 1 anti-tank artillery company, communication platoon, reconnaissance platoon and engineer platoon.

The infantry battalion has 3 infantry companies (12 machine guns, 2 anti-tank guns and 3 50mm mortars) and 1 machine gun company (12 machine guns and 6 81mm mortars).

From the perspective of squad and platoon level, there is not much difference between German armed division and German military advisor.

Each platoon of German equipment divisions generally has 3 light machine guns, 30 rifles, and several submachine guns. They can also obtain 2 heavy machine guns in the platoon of the company's machine gun platoon as support firepower.

A German infantry platoon was equipped with 5 submachine guns, 4 general-purpose machine guns, 34 rifles, and the platoon-level support firepower was a three-person mortar group and equipped with a 50mm mortar.

Although the German MG34 machine guns have better performance, the 30-section and 24-type heavy machine guns commonly equipped by the National Army are also quite good in actual combat performance. The only disadvantage is that they have a high dependence on cooling water (the German machine gun is air-cooled and does not require cooling water).

At the company level, each German company had a total of 16 submachine guns, 12 machine guns, 130 rifles and 3 mortars, and there were also reinforced anti-tank guns (the anti-tank guns were gradually eliminated after 41 years and replaced with anti-tank guns).

Each company of the German Armed Division has a total of 9 light machine guns, 90 rifles, and several submachine guns (submachine guns were called portable machine guns at the time, and they were not a standard weapon of the National Army's infantry troops, but they were generally equipped with a certain number of submachine guns in the squad, platoon leader, division's spy company, and army and division commander guards). The support weapon is an 8-person direct mortar squad, equipped with 2 82mm mortars.

From this comparison, the difference between the two is not very big.

However, starting from the battalion level, the gap between the German armed division and the German military division gradually became obvious.

Each battalion of the German military division has a machine gun company equipped with 12 machine guns and 6 81mm mortars. The regiment's 150mm heavy infantry artillery and 75mm infantry artillery can be used in the battalion.

However, the battalion-level fire aid unit of the German Armed Division is just a machine gun company with 6 heavy machine guns and 2 82mm mortars, and there are no heavy firearms such as infantry guns.

However, the three infantry regiments of the German military division were directly equipped with 6 150mm heavy infantry artillery, 24 75mm infantry artillery, 54 81mm mortars, and 81 50mm mortars. The artillery firepower of the regiment was as high as that of the German Armored Division.

This is not the case that the German division's artillery regiment is usually equipped with 12 150mm howitzers and 36 105mm howitzers.

In contrast, the German-Armed Division had only one artillery battalion, and the 12 75mm field guns equipped with were simply toys.

From the above, we can see that five points are very cost-effective.

Almost all German equipment.
