During Lu Xiaojia's inspection today, he found that the Anhui army soldiers were all wearing khaki military uniforms made of inferior fabrics.
Moreover, many soldiers' uniforms had holes and faded colors. From a distance, they looked like a group of "Country Garden five-star generals" without any soldiers.
So another 1.5 million silver dollars were spent to purchase 30,000 sets of M43 individual soldier field suits.
Regarding appearance, you must always trust the vision of an art student, it will never be bad!
The individual soldier field suit includes 2 sets of M43 "green pea" camouflage field uniforms, M43 "green pea" camouflage helmets, 2 sets of M41 reed green training uniforms, Y-shaped armed belts, gas mask suits, waterproof map bags, metal Lunch box, trench shovel, bayonet, backpack, canvas bag, type 31 camouflage triangle poncho, Damon square field flashlight...a single set sells for 50 silver dollars.
The guns and clothing have been purchased, and there are various types of artillery that have yet to be purchased.
The artillery purchase list is as follows:
The M19 60mm mortar costs 600 silver dollars each, and comes with 2,000 rounds of M49A2 60mm high-explosive shells. The total cost of purchasing 150 mortars is 90,000 silver dollars.
The M20A1 super bazooka is priced at 120 silver dollars each, and comes with 2,000 rounds of M28A2 88.9mm high-explosive armor-piercing rounds. The purchase of 150 units costs 18,000 silver dollars.
Each M1943 120mm mortar costs 1,500 silver dollars, and comes with 1,600 rounds of OF843 120mm anti-personnel explosive shells. The purchase of 90 mortars cost a total of 135,000 silver dollars.
The leFH18 105mm howitzer costs 5,000 silver dollars each, and comes with 1,200 rounds of FH.Gr.38 105mm steel ball high-explosive cannon. It costs 400,000 silver dollars to buy 80 of them.
Since it was necessary to form a division howitzer regiment, Lu Xiaojia set her sights on the large-caliber howitzer page.
Finally, the M1A1 155mm howitzer was selected. This artillery was successfully developed by Sam State in 1944 and was used to replace the old M1 155mm howitzer. The gun body uses a large amount of reinforced steel. In terms of steel quality, the M1A1 is much better than the old M1 155mm howitzer. It has a shooting life of 7,500 rounds and a range of 14.6 kilometers.
The M1A1 155mm howitzer costs 8,000 silver dollars each, and comes with 1,000 rounds of M102 155mm high-explosive grenades. The total cost of purchasing 60 guns is 480,000 silver dollars.

Of course, it is impossible to equip so many artillery with manpower and horses. After all, China's current transportation construction is very backward.
To move the M1A1 howitzer and leFH18 howitzer, it is very necessary to equip artillery tractors and trucks for transporting ammunition.
Vehicle purchase list:
90 Quad artillery tractors are used to tow leFH18 105mm howitzers. Each one sells for 4,000 silver dollars and costs 360,000 silver dollars.

60 M4 HST-18T crawler tractors are used to tow the M1A1 155mm howitzer. Each vehicle sells for 10,000 silver dollars and costs 600,000 silver dollars.
The picture shows the M4 HST-18T crawler tractor, which has strong off-road capabilities.
24 "Tornado" No. 4 20mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are used to equip air defense battalions. Each is priced at 20,000 silver dollars and costs 480,000 silver dollars.

100 SCR-300 FM walkie-talkies, with a communication distance of 15 kilometers, are priced at 100 silver dollars each, and cost 10,000 silver dollars.
700 SCR-536 handheld walkie-talkies, with a communication distance of 1 to 4.8 kilometers, each priced at 30 silver dollars, costing 21,000 silver dollars.
At this point, the account balance is only 270,000, and the 6.71 million silver dollars are gone in the blink of an eye.
Naturally, this money can no longer be used. It must be reserved for emergencies and used to improve food and supplement nutrition for the soldiers.
However, transport trucks, armored personnel carriers, jeeps, motorcycles, armored vehicles, tanks and other more expensive items have not yet been purchased.
Lu Xiaojia took a deep breath. It seemed that once the cannon went off, there would be ten thousand taels of gold. This statement was really not a rumor.
A few minutes ago he was a multi-millionaire, now he was on the verge of becoming a pauper.
