It's just that interest is interest, but Wang Cheng did not directly reply to Li Ziyuan's request. just told him very calmly that this matter would be discussed after consulting his superiors. Looking at Li Ziyuan, who was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks in front of him, Wang Cheng smiled and said, "You kid jumped out of the outside line this time, it seems that he has made a lot of money." ”

"Three 'strong' Type 92 heavy machine guns, plus one 'strong' high-firing machine gun that there are few 'strong' in the whole military region, just to change someone, you kid is a big deal. You are a backbone guerrilla unit in a county, and you can come up with three 'strong' 92 forms in one go, but my backbone regiment can't do it. ”

"But you gave the captives to the men, and they were all Manlisya rifles. If I'm not mistaken, in the entire puppet army in the southeast of Jin, which is mainly made by Jin and supplemented by Gongzao and Hanyang-made weapons, only the puppet garrison brigade of Changzhi is equipped with this kind of gun. ”

"The pseudo-Jin Nanjian ** is all Jin-made weapons, and some of the pseudo-garrisons in each county are equipped with Japanese-made weapons. The rest are also miscellaneous, and this Manlixia rifle is only equipped with the Changzhi Pseudo-Garrison Brigade. You kid jumped to the outside line to fight this time, won't you run to the territory of Changzhi? ”

Hearing the ridicule of his old superiors, Li Ziyuan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "What kind of wealth did I make, I just picked up some cheap and got some weapons and equipment." The Japanese army blocked my route back to the mountain and looked for us everywhere in the western part of Hubei. I was so 'forced' that I had no choice but to temporarily jump to the territory of Changzhi and find a way to do something to mobilize the Japanese puppet army in the western part of Hubei, so that I could find a gap that I could use. ”

However, it didn't make much movement, that is, it solved a pseudo-garrison squadron stationed on the edge of Changzhi City, plus took the Japanese airfield in Jingjiazhuang with ease. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back when the entire Hubei territory was full of Japanese puppet troops at that time. ”

"It's just a pity that these high-altitude 'fire' machine guns of the little devils are too bulky. On the premise of not discarding other equipment, I can also bring back a 'stiff', and the rest will be blown up. If I had a formed regiment at the time, I would have given you at least an anti-aircraft machine gun company. Even aerial bombs that can dismantle explosives, I can bring back hundreds of them. ”

Although Li Ziyuan said that he was understated, Wang Cheng was slightly stunned at the same time, but he was a little happy and said: "I said that the devil's sweep 'sweep' seems a bit anticlimactic, how is it a little different from the previous sweeps." It took a long time for you kid to be in Changzhi territory, and you brought their airport to the end again. ”

"The Japanese troops of the 36th Division who participated in this sweep began to retreat on all fronts yesterday. The headquarters also gave orders to our sub-division and the third sub-district to investigate what was going on. Now that the situation has been thoroughly understood, it turns out that you kid made such a big move in Changzhi and transferred back all the troops of the 36th Division to participate in the sweep. ”

"You kid is really bold enough, last month a regiment of the main force hit the Japanese airfield in Jingjiazhuang and burned three Japanese planes. With the lessons of the past, the Japanese army will definitely blockade it with heavy troops. Far from being afraid, you kid did the opposite. Under the circumstance that the Japanese army is very likely to increase the blockade of the airport, they dare to poke the hornet's nest. ”

"It is estimated that there will be some news from the enemy Ministry tonight, if this news is confirmed, you kid can be regarded as a great contribution this time. As soon as the 36th Division withdrew like this, the other devils lost their cooperation, and now they have all begun to retreat. The devils terminated the sweep ahead of schedule, and the damage to our base area could be greatly reduced. ”

For Wang Cheng, who was rarely a little excited on his face at this time, Li Ziyuan muttered with some interest: "It is impossible for the superior to give any reward after making a great contribution, and if no one can agree happily, what is there to be happy about?" If I do send these people back, I'll have to get a bunch of guns. ”

"You have a military sub-district there, and it's a regimental structure, and there are enough military cadres. If it really doesn't work, we can also 'draw' the cadres of the basic battalions and independent battalions below to supplement them. Can I do it on my side? I finally cultivated one, and I sacrificed it before I could play a role. ”

"There is no shortage of weapons on my side, and there is a shortage of qualified military cadres. I can't just be a shrunken turtle in Hubei, just stay in the nest without doing anything. The requirements of you superiors are so high, we have no hope of weapons and ammunition, and we have enough food and clothing to do it ourselves. But you have to give me some backbone, this unit is not said to be able to pull out. ”

Li Ziyuan's muttering, although Wang Cheng didn't hear the content clearly, but Li Ziyuan's muttering made Wang Cheng very dissatisfied: "Where are you muttering?" Let me tell you, don't think that you kid has made another great contribution this time, so you can proudly your tail again, thinking about bargaining with your superiors. ”

"When it's time to give it to you, nature will give it to you. Muttering behind his back, like what a soldier should do? Three disciplines, eight attentions, how did you learn it? Obeying orders and listening to commands is the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, and it is not a matter of making a little merit that you don't have to abide by it. ”

Seeing that the old chief was a little dissatisfied, Li Ziyuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Old chief, how dare I mumble behind my back." I didn't think that if my superiors decided to send Lao He and them back, would all the guns I gave them be taken back. We don't dare to say anything about the decision of the superiors, but this involves weapons. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you give it to them, these weapons are all rags, and they don't match the six-five bullets and seven-nine bullets in our hands. We have enough calibers of weapons, there is no need to add one caliber. But although this mosquito's 'leg' is small, it's also a piece of 'meat', isn't it? Although it looks good to give them face, it's not a little 'meaty' pain for me?"

After Li Ziyuan finished talking about his complaints, Wang Cheng did not answer him. After calling the guards around him to 'confess' a few words, he turned his head and said: "Is this what you kid muttered just now, you know it in your own heart, I don't want to say anything." But there is one thing that you kid has made clear to me, you are a soldier, and it is your duty to obey orders. ”

"Are you really difficult, do you really think that your superiors haven't thought about it at all? I'll tell you plainly today, the company that Zeng Sheng personally asked me to transfer to you by the division commander. I have also made great sacrifices here in this anti-sweep 'sweep', and there is also a shortage of qualified military cadres. Transferred to you a complete formed company, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with? ”

Wang Cheng's words fell, and Li Ziyuan, who knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts, just smiled a little awkwardly and didn't say anything more. Wait until Wang Cheng's guard runs back with a Manlixia rifle. 'Handed' the rifle in his hand and the clip full of bullets made by Hanyang to Wang Cheng.

After receiving the rifle and bullets handed over by the guard, Wang Cheng opened the bolt of the Manlixia rifle, and placed the clip in his hand filled with Hanyang-made round-headed 79 bullets into the chamber of the Manlixia rifle. He aimed the muzzle of the gun at a big tree a hundred meters away, quickly pulled the bolt and fired all five bullets before returning the gun to Li Ziyuan.

didn't expect Wang Cheng to make this scene, and took over the rifle that was thrown over, Li Ziyuan was a little distressed. After firing five bullets of different calibers, this gun must not be scrapped. The bullet of the Manlixia rifle is eight millimeters, and the ammunition 'medicine' used by Hanyang-made is seven or nine.

Rifle bullets are strictly different, even if the caliber of the rifle looks similar, the ammunition 'medicine' can not be used. Just like the Italian rifle that I have come into contact with the miscellaneous military equipment in Chongqing, it is 65 caliber with the Japanese army's Type 38 rifle, but although this bullet is similar in caliber, it is definitely not universal.

Zhongguan and Hanyang are both 79 calibers, as well as Czech-made and Belgian rifles, and their ancestors were developed by one country. This is officially and Czech-made, and it is absolutely impossible to use Hanyang-made rifles. Hanyang-made rifles are not a small change, and they must not use medium and formal rifle cartridges.

These rifles of the same caliber were developed by the Germans, and their own ammunition 'medicine' could not be used universally, not to mention these two rifles of different calibers. Five rounds of different calibers were fired, and although there was no explosion, the gun was going to be scrapped, at least the rifling had to be polished.

Although this Manlixia rifle is not as good as the Hanyang-made and Yuannian style that is easier to handle bullets in his eyes, it is a rifle that is serious after all. Let's not mention the good or bad, is it easy to get these guns by yourself? It's not distressing to scrap it on the battlefield, but if it is scrapped like this, Li Ziyuan is absolutely reluctant.

It was only after he pulled the bolt that he unexpectedly discovered that although he had fired five rounds of ammunition of different calibers. There was nothing wrong with this gun, and there was no possibility of it appearing in his mind at all. He looked over and over for a long time, but he didn't find anything wrong with this gun.

Looking at Li Ziyuan, who was a little puzzled, Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "You kid, you always say that you are well-informed, but your eyelids are still too narrow. Let me tell you, although this gun is a little old, the direct-acting bolt is also a little complicated. But in terms of adaptation to bullets, it is much stronger than most of the guys in our hands. ”

"The 'precision' of the gun is also good, that is, the structure of the direct-acting bolt, and the 'firing' rate is a little slow. However, this is understandable, after all, it was Hanyang that made a weapon of an era. There is still a certain generation gap between the Chinese and Czech countries. For us, at least in terms of ammunition 'medicine' is a good gun. ”

"In addition to using bullets of the original design, you can also use bullets from Hanyang-made rifles. Moreover, it will basically have no effect on the 'precision' and reliability of the gun. The reason is very simple, because the predecessor of Hanyang, the old sleeve rifle, the Germans themselves referred to a lot of features and structures of the Manlisa rifle when they designed it. ”

"Look at the magazine of this rifle for yourself, is it almost the same as that made in Hanyang? It's just that this kind of gun can only use Hanyang-made rifle bullets, if you use Zhongzheng rifle bullets, tell you to blow up the chamber, don't blame me. However, it is not completely unusable, and it is possible to use such bullets if you don't need to spare the weapon when necessary. ”

"The Central Army on the side of this gun is not equipped, and some well-established miscellaneous armies are also not equipped. But there is still some equipment in some of the small miscellaneous armies, and I once captured this kind of gun. It's just that there are not many of those guns, not to mention that they have been used for too long, and they are not well maintained. When they were transferred from Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, they were all left to the troops that insisted on guerrillas. ”

"To say that this kind of gun, although it is not as good as the Yuannian type and the Liao 13 rifle, and there is no way to compare it with Czech and Belgian goods, it is much stronger than Italian goods and old sleeves, at least not inferior to Hanyang-made. If it were compared to the miscellaneous Hanyang-made guns made in those places, I would rather use this gun. ”
