"General, at five o'clock this morning, an army has launched an attack on the Matsuoka United, and after two hours of fierce fighting, the Matsuoka Wing is defeated and has retreated to Shakou!"

"General Qiyu, Shakou has fallen!"

"Nani?"

Two telegrams in succession shocked the commander of the 107th Brigade, Fukutaro Nishiyama, "Matsuoka is a waste, and the three brigades can't hold their positions?" What kind of army is the Chinese army? ”

"It is the 40th Division of the 54th Army of China, and it is the 40th Division that defeated the Shangcun detachment in the Battle of Changsha before."

"The 54th Army of China?" Nishiyama Fukutaro's face was gloomy, "Send the Koga Wing to immediately reinforce the Matsuoka Wing, and be sure to block the Shina army north of Otsubo." ”

"Hey!"

The 104th Division obviously did not know enough about the 40th Division.

After capturing Shakou, the 40th Division, with the 118th and 119th regiments as the main force, launched a direct attack on Daping; The 120th Regiment and the Supplementary Regiment crossed the Beijiang River and headed south along the west bank of the Beijiang River.

This attack was undoubtedly risky, but with the arrival of the 198th Division, the 40th Division did not have to worry about the lack of troops.

Although the 198th Division is poorly equipped and weak in combat effectiveness, it is also an infantry division with eight or nine thousand men after all, and it can do something no matter how bad it is.

The soldiers of the two divisions of the 54th Army were very fast, which surprised the generals of the 62nd Army.

With an elite division and a miscellaneous division, they all dared to directly attack the Japanese army with three wings and almost one three-unit division of the Japanese army.

Of course, although the left wing of the Japanese army had three wings, compared with a real three-unit division, it lacked a lot of auxiliary troops, and there were still many gaps.

Even so, it surprised the 62nd Army.

However, this is also related to the fact that the left flank of the Japanese army is a unit of the 104th Division, and if it is replaced by the 18th Division or the Guards mixed brigade, the progress of the 40th Division cannot be so fast.

With a unit like the 104th Division, it is no problem to fight a smooth battle, but if it fights a very difficult battle, it may not be able to hold on.

Because these Osaka soldiers are not willing to fight to the death.

It was also for this reason that the 54th Army decided to attack the British and German Japanese troops with surprise troops, knock them back, and then deal with the Japanese troops in the middle.

。。。。。。

"Lieutenant Colonel Joseph, how is our gun performing? I think the military should have a good judgment, right? ”

In San Francisco, USA, Wang Lin and a white man and a yellow man stood in front of an officer wearing the uniform of a colonel in the U.S. Army, anxiously awaiting the results of the other party.

"To tell you the truth, your gun doesn't have as much firepower as the Thomson submachine gun." Lieutenant Colonel Joseph shook his head.

He was the officer in charge of the procurement of weapons for the US Army, which coincided with the expansion of the US army during this time, and a large number of submachine guns were needed to strengthen the army's firepower.

Although the firepower of the Thomson submachine gun is strong, the unit price of the Thomson M1928 submachine gun purchased before is 209 US dollars, and the United States, which is rich and wealthy, is not very interested in this submachine gun.

Although the army also purchased a batch as a standard submachine gun, the number was not very large.

"Joseph, I know this, but it's cheap, isn't it?" It was a white man who spoke, named William, the vice president of the San Francisco Small Arms Company.

The San Francisco Small Arms Company is a small firearms company that Wang Lin bought directly at the suggestion of her family, and then changed its name to this.

Although the price is somewhat high, it is better than a hassle, and the San Francisco Small Arms Company is already beginning to expand its production line to meet large orders.

Not only this submachine gun, but if a big war breaks out, the production capacity of those large arms companies cannot meet the needs of the military, and the military will also place orders for other small-scale arms companies to produce together.

If you don't take the opportunity to expand production capacity now, you won't be able to grab any orders later.

"It's pretty cheap, it's only $30." Joseph also admits that it is equivalent to one-seventh of the price of the Thomson submachine gun.

The cost of the Stern submachine gun was only $9, but it was definitely impossible to sell it like that, so they set a price of $30, and even if the cost came down, they could adjust the price to compete for orders.

"Joseph, as a standard weapon that can be used on a large scale in war, in addition to being cheap, needs to be suitable for mass production.

Our submachine gun is not only cheap, but also has a simple structure, which is very suitable for mass production, and is a very good weapon.

We think it's a good fit for the military. William, with his high salary, was naturally very concerned about winning orders from the military.

And if he wins the order, he can also get the corresponding bonus according to the number of orders.

Joseph nodded, he still agreed with this, if it weren't for the lack of a suitable submachine gun, the military would not be willing to purchase a Thomson submachine gun.

"I can make the decision to give you an order of 10,000 pieces, but it must be seized within a month, I don't know if you can complete it?

As for follow-up orders, we will decide whether to add them based on the use of the battlefield. Joseph thought about it and only planned to place an order of 10,000 pieces to test the water.

"No problem! I'm sure we'll have more cooperation, and the next time you come over, we at San Francisco Small Arms Company will bring you more excellent weapon designs. William laughed.

"It is said that this submachine gun is the patent of the weapon you bought from China?" Joseph thought of something and suddenly asked.

"Joseph, does this have an impact?" William said with a smile.

"No, it's just a little curious." Joseph looked at the two yellow men next to the pseudo-beam, who were obviously Chinese, and was a little surprised.

"Boss, you also saw it, 10,000 orders, seized within a month!" After seeing Joseph away, William had a triumphant smile on his face, "Lee, can we capture it in a month?" ”

Li, the Chinese next to Wang Lin, is an engineer and the general manager of the San Francisco Small Arms Company.

"It's definitely no problem a month, this submachine gun is produced by machine tool stamping, and we definitely can't produce 100,000 units in a month, but if we work overtime, it's still no problem to produce 10,000 units a month."

"Boss, as long as this batch of weapons satisfies the military, I can guarantee that there will be a bigger order. Just hope the boss doesn't forget the agreement we signed. William said confidently.

The agreement was that if William could secure an order for the company for no more than 10,000 submachine guns, he would receive 3% of the profit as a bonus; If it is between 10,000 and 100,000, you can get 5% of the profit; 100,000 to 300,000, 8% of profit; 300,000 to 1,000,000, 11% of profit; More than 1,000,000 pieces, 15% of the profit.

This will undoubtedly keep Willian motivated, and he will definitely do everything in his power to secure more orders.

Just like this order, William can get (30-9)*10,000*3% bonus, which is a bonus of $6,300.

This is not high.

But if William gets an order of 100,000 yuan this time, then what he gets is (30-9)*10,000*3%+(30-9)*90,000*5% bonus, which is a bonus of $100,800.

This share is step-by-step, apparently the more orders there are, the more William gets.

So there is no need for Wang Lin to urge the other party, William will try his best to win the order.
