In the twenties and thirties of the last century, the German weapons trained under the guidance of German military advisers could be described as the unique elite division of the Chinese army in the early period of the Anti-Japanese War. And speaking of the weapons and equipment of the German armament division, although it is far from the real German army, it is also very luxurious compared to other armies in the country at that time. Not to mention the formal, imitation Czech, and civilian 24-style weapons, just military uniforms, kettles, lunch boxes and other individual military equipment, which is not something that ordinary local warlords can match.
If the German armament division of the national army can be hooked with the German army the most, it is the M35 steel helmet that has to be said, which was officially finalized by the German Wehrmacht on July 1, 1935 and began to distribute troops M1935 steel helmet. The National Government purchased 315,000 heads, which was actually more than the German army itself equipped that year, plus the introduction of later, the total number of M35 helmets of the national army is about 400,000, although this number seems to be a lot, but compared to the number of millions of troops in the country, this introduction ratio can be described as more monks and less meat.
The most obvious logo of the M35 helmet of the National Army Armament Division is the blue sky and white sun logo on the left side of the helmet, and there is no logo on the right front. In fact, in addition to the German armament division of the regular army of the national army, only special arms such as artillery and armored troops have allocated funds, and although the warlord faction troops in various places also have a small amount of equipment, even if they are not elite or guards, and there are very few complete establishments.
In addition to the M35 helmet worn in battle, the German armament division also has a daily cylindrical military hat, a German-style military cap known as a military hat, which is said to be an improvement on the European ski helmet. However, this military cap has many differences from the original German army, its overall structure is a cylindrical shape, the cap is surrounded by a folding face cloth, usually folded up with two copper buckles fixed on the front of the hat, when the weather is cold, it can be put down to cover the face, ears or neck. The logo of this military cap is the blue sky and white emblem emblem embellished between the upper edge of the protective cloth and the upper brim, and the diameter of the cockade is standardized at 2.8 cm.
In the spring and autumn, the specifications of the soldiers' military uniforms are yellow-green camel wool jackets, grass-green khaki uniforms when the weather is hot in summer, and blue-gray cotton uniforms when the weather is cold in winter. However, the military uniform of the officer class is a four-pocket medium-mountain uniform of "A tweed", and it is also equipped with a tweed army coat for cold protection. Due to the lack of vehicles and the shortage of military budgets, even the soldiers of the German armament division adopted old-fashioned equipment such as leggings, and were issued with black rubber-soled shoes. The officer class was made of leather shoes, and high-ranking officers were issued tall leather boots similar to those of the German army.
In addition to military uniforms, the equipment of the German armament division soldiers is also modeled on the German Wehrmacht equipped with backpacks, bullet belts, water bottles, dry food bags, lunch boxes, shovels and gas masks, although the soldiers of the German armament division have a lot of leather bullet boxes, but the national army does not have so much money to equip every soldier with leather bullet belts, so cheap and strong canvas has become the first choice for assistance. Under normal circumstances, the bullet bag of the German armament division and the later Eighth Route Army are one specification, and they can carry 20 bullet clips. At that time, German military advisers once stipulated that individual soldiers should carry 160 pieces of ammunition and 40 to store their backpacks.
Except for a small number of military water bottles, most of them are domestic imitation German water bottles, with oval wooden plug covers and shoulder straps with Chinese characteristics. The gas mask equipped by the German armor division is Germany's 1930 type gas mask, most of which comes from the imitation of the domestic arsenal, and the storage equipment of the national army gas mask was also a round iron barrel at the earliest, and it was changed to a miscellaneous bag similar to a shoulder bag, in addition to placing gas masks, you can also put some personal daily necessities. As for the lunch box, it is made of grass-yellow Japanese lunch box, which is said to be stronger and more durable than that made by the German army, and it is not easy to peel off paint.
