The machine gun is a suppressive weapon, it can shoot quickly and continuously, with strafing as the main attack method, through the dense fire network to suppress the opponent's fire point or cover their own attack, so the national army attaches great importance to machine guns is also very high, but due to the price problem, the proportion of machine guns equipped by the national army has not been very high.

Taking the elite 89th Division of the National Army as the standard, the two brigades and four regiments of the whole division are equipped with more than 300 light and heavy machine guns, and it can be said that the machine guns have been equipped to the squad level, but it should be noted that there are by no more than five units like the 89th Division in China, which is the most elite unit in China, but Chen Cheng now sees such a force in a security regiment.

Chen Cheng walked up to a soldier carrying a machine gun and said in a friendly voice, "Soldier, what model is the machine gun you are carrying?" How does it perform? ”

The soldier looked at Su Jin, who was standing behind Chen Cheng, and knew that this must be a big man, so he said loudly: "Report sir, I am carrying a German-made general-purpose machine gun, model MG34, with a rate of fire of 1,200 to 1,500 rounds per minute......

"General purpose machine gun?" Chen Cheng asked curiously: "This name is quite special, can you tell me what a general-purpose machine gun is?" ”

The soldier replied without hesitation: "This kind of machine gun is a light machine gun when it is pressed on a bipod, and when it is replaced with a heavy tripod, it is a heavy machine gun, and when we raise the tripod, it can also be used as an anti-aircraft weapon, so we call it a general-purpose machine gun." ”

"Oh...... And this machine gun? That's amazing, isn't it? Chen Cheng and the officers behind him were a little surprised, at this time the concept of general-purpose machine guns had not yet spread, and the military circles of various countries were still accustomed to dividing machine guns into two models: light and heavy. The MG34, a new machine gun, was not exported by the Germans, so the countries around the world did not know much about its performance, so everyone was taken aback after listening to the soldier's introduction.

Chen Cheng looked at Su Jin quietly and asked, "Commander Su, can you tell me the price of this machine gun?" ”

Su Jin said loudly: "Report sir, the purchase price of this machine gun is two hundred dollars each!" ”

Chen Cheng and the surrounding officers all twitched collectively when they heard this, and the exchange rate between the fiat currency and the US dollar was now 100:20. In the Central Army, a company commander is about 80 legal dollars per month, so such a machine gun is worth a company commander's salary for a year, which is a rhythm that scares people to death.

After listening to this price, the generals who were originally very interested in this machine gun moved their eyes elsewhere one by one, which is this machine gun, this is clearly a gold bar!

Everyone quickly walked around, and then when Chen Cheng saw the mortars in several rows at the end of the troops, he just took a deep breath and did not continue to ask, but signaled that Su Jin could disband the team.

Not for a while. Su Jin led everyone to a set up tent and let everyone look at the Japanese army materials and equipment they had captured, and saw the 38-type rifles, 11-year-old light machine guns, as well as the Japanese army's lunch boxes, belts, steel helmets, and the personal belongings of the Japanese soldiers, Chen Cheng and Zhang Fakui behind him glanced at each other, and a look of understanding flashed in their eyes. At this time, the two of them already believed that Su Jin had indeed won a battle, and there might be water in terms of quantity, but it was basically certain in terms of a big victory.

Zhang Fakui opened his mouth and said, "Commander Su, what about the prisoners you are talking about?" ”

"Sir, I've sent someone to bring them here."

As Su Jin's words fell, there was a sound of footsteps not far away. Then I saw three Japanese soldiers who were tied up with flowers and tied up and pressed by six heavily armed soldiers, these Japanese soldiers were still very excited when they saw so many people standing in front of them, and they rushed towards Chen Cheng and his party with babbling and shouting, how could those soldiers behind them be polite. One by one, he picked up the butts of his guns and smashed them all to the ground.

Looking at these people who were smashed to the ground and still shouting loudly, the generals who had been dealing with the Japanese for so long knew that these were genuine Japanese prisoners without asking a word.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng's originally grim expression finally eased a lot, and it seemed that what Su Jin said was very likely to be true. Even if there is some water, but the credit is real, and no one can erase it.

I thought about it. Chen Cheng said to Su Jin: "Commander Su, although I can't determine the number of enemies you have destroyed, I can be sure that you did win a battle in Happy Valley, and this should be certain." As the saying goes, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and punishments must be punished, you have made great contributions now, do you have any requirements to say? ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes showed a glint of envy, what kind of person is Chief Chen, this is the dignified commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, the confidant of the chairman, since he said so, as long as it is not too outrageous, you can just open your mouth!

Su Jin also showed a hint of joy on his face, and he immediately said: "Chief Chen, the department has been reorganized into a security regiment, but there are still too many shortcomings, plus the losses with the Japanese army in the Battle of Happy Valley Ridge two days ago, I don't know if the commander can give priority to replenishing a group of new soldiers for the department, it is better to have a group of experienced veterans, if it is artillery, it is better." ”

"This ......"

As soon as Su Jin's words came out, everyone's eyes looking at him changed a little, and even Chen Cheng's face showed a look of embarrassment. He pondered for a while before he smiled bitterly: "Commander Su, your request has made me a little embarrassed, the recruits are easy to handle, I can have someone to supplement you tomorrow, but where can I get those veterans and artillerymen for you, I think you still have to ask Chief Zhang to help you in this matter." ”

"I ...... Grass"

Hearing Chen Cheng lift the ball to himself, Zhang Fakui on the side was almost about to scold his mother. It is not difficult for these people to replenish new soldiers, one or two thousand or even three or four thousand recruits is a matter of one sentence, but those veterans with combat experience are the grassroots backbone of each unit, who is willing to transfer them to you. As for the artillerymen, hehe...... No kidding, these people are all fed with shells, which is not the baby bump of the military commanders of various units, transferred to you? What kind of international jokes, it's all given to you, how can we mix it up?

It's just that although Zhang Fakui secretly scolded his mother in his heart, the chief couldn't help but answer when he asked, and he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "This...... Chief Chen, our various units have very little artillery, and there is not much artillery at all, this ...... This ......" said this, Zhang Fakui couldn't go on.

Looking at Zhang Fakui's embarrassed appearance and the wandering eyes of the officers, Su Jin felt that he was still too naïve to think, none of these people who had been rolling in the oil pot for half their lives would have become old fritters. How could he do a stupid thing to weaken his own strength to strengthen others, it was a little cold for a while. (To be continued......)
