At 9 o'clock in the morning on May 28, 1940, the shooting range of the Tournai base in Belgium.

"Horn, Horn, Horn ......"

With a continuous burst of gunfire, the target fifty meters away was smashed into a sieve. Xu Jun and his officers all applauded vigorously. Hans calmly lowered his arms and walked towards the group of officers behind him, carrying his gun.

"Well done, Hans, you're the most accurate marksman in our group, haha. What do you think of this gun? Xu Jun shouted at Hans.

Hans walked up to Xu Jun and replied with a smile.

"My general, don't make fun of me, how could you think of this way of shooting if you didn't have good marksmanship? I really didn't expect the old guns in the last war to have such strong firepower after being improved. My luger is nothing short of a toy by comparison. It's just a little heavier and a little bigger, and it's a little inconvenient to carry. ”

Hans handed the Mauser Model 1932 automatic pistol to Xu Jun. Xu Jun took the heavy pistol, skillfully opened the chamber and looked at it, withdrew the empty magazine, and then stretched his hand to the side. Randolph on the side hurriedly handed over a new magazine, Xu Jun took it neatly, and then looked at the officers on the side.

"Who wants to try it now? What about the Chief of Staff? Don't want to take a few shots? ”

The chief of staff, Colonel Werler, waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile that there was no need. However, those civilian officers such as staff officers standing on the side jumped up one by one, and they usually did some desk work, and they couldn't fire a few shots a year, and now the commander gave them the opportunity to get over the gun, and now they all stood up one by one and said that they wanted to try.

"Haha, do you want to have fun? Don't worry, there's something for everyone. Lieutenant Hull, bring over the guns of the command personnel first. ”

"Yes, General." A young lieutenant agreed, and hurriedly ran towards the barracks behind with a few soldiers.

"Command with guns? General, you don't want to reload us with this pistol, do you? Wehrle was surprised. Isn't it a bit too big and too heavy for an officer. ”

Xu Jun turned his head and said with a smile: "Not only officers, but every soldier in my regiment will get a pistol of this kind."

Then he took two steps and turned to the bewildered group of officers.

"I think everyone has seen the power of Mauser 1932, and its instantaneous firepower has surpassed all the automatic pistols in the world today. And his range is satisfying. What our soldiers on the front line lack now is continuous fire in close combat. Don't you really want our brave German soldiers to fight the enemy with bayonets? Such pistols will be the last line of defense for our infantry.

As you can imagine, when our soldiers are facing enemies several times his size, a reliable and ferocious automatic pistol is much more useful than a single-shot 98k plus a bayonet. It's a little bigger and a little heavier, but if it can save your life at a critical moment, then what does it matter if you have these problems?

And it also strengthens the offensive firepower of our infantry squads, we don't have many submachine guns now, only non-commissioned officers and officers can get one, and this automatic pistol is simply a small submachine gun when it is connected to the holster burst. You've seen this before, so I don't think there's any opinion. ”

Colonel Weirle suddenly realized when he heard this, and nodded again and again, but he still had some questions, he asked.

"Now do we have so many of these pistols in the hands of every soldier? You should know that this pistol is not an army standard pistol. Was Mauser able to produce so many of these pistols in a short period of time? ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen this kind of pistol, I used a similar one in the last war, but it's a single-shot automatic pistol, and it doesn't have this burst function yet." Dougan on the side also raised his questions.

"You don't have to worry about that. In fact, these were all caused by the short-sightedness of the former head of the army's ordnance department, who believed that the weight and size of this weapon were related to its refusal to equip it with the German army. But what you would never have imagined is how popular this weapon of the Mauser company is abroad. Especially in Asia, where the army is mostly armed with such pistols. The largest customer is China, which has ordered hundreds of thousands of such weapons from Mauser. But as you know, we have cancelled the last few orders in China because of our relationship with Japan.

There is now a backlog of 130,000 such pistols in Mauser's warehouse, and its ammunition is innumerable. When I learned the news, I was ready to use this batch of pistols as soon as possible, and instead of keeping it in the warehouse to occupy space, it was better to give our soldiers an excellent self-defense weapon.

And after I studied the methods and experience of the Chinese in using this weapon, I found the correct way to shoot this pistol. As demonstrated by Hans earlier, the shot is fired at a 45-degree angle in a single shot, and the shot is fired across the body of the gun in bursts. This method can improve the accuracy of shooting this weapon, and the Chinese are indeed the people in the world who can use the power of this weapon, and their invention has made this weapon more perfect. ”

By this time Lieutenant Hull had already brought a large box with several soldiers, and then he opened the lid and stood aside to report aloud.

"Report to the general, the weapon has been taken."

Xu Jun walked over, picked up a pistol from the box and looked at it, then turned to the officers and said, "These are the Type 1932 that I asked the Mauser Company to customize specifically for my command officers, reducing weight and reducing the rate of fire during bursts. Since everyone is a staff officer, the average 10-round magazine is enough, so there is no need to issue a 20-round magazine. The soldiers will be given one ten-round magazine and two twenty-round magazines, depending on the situation. Now let's get your new guns, which you can use in normal times with your original pistols and use them on the battlefield. ”

The officers agreed, and they all stepped forward with great interest to pick out their guns.

At this time, Xu Jun stepped aside and said to Huer, "Lieutenant Huer, thank you for delivering the weapon I needed to me so quickly. When you returned, you also conveyed my thanks to your superior, the Minister of Ordnance. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, it is an honor to work for such a great commander as Your Excellency. I will certainly convey your thanks to Minister Trot, so please rest assured. ”

"Okay, when will the ammunition I want arrive?"

"At the time of my departure, several military factories were already shipping, and Minister Tóth had given them a death order that they must be delivered here today, and should arrive soon. Rest assured, General. ”

Xu Jun said solemnly: "You must know that this special batch of ammunition is very important for our next stage of operations. If it can't be delivered here today, the consequences will be severe. And you have to supervise those production plants again, now they must go all out to produce these kinds of ammunition, it doesn't matter if the rest of the production stops, but the production of these kinds of ammunition must be guaranteed, understand? ”

"Yes, General, I'll send a telegram now."

"Okay, there you go." Xu Jun saluted, and after returning the salute, Hu Er hurriedly ran towards the barracks of the communications company.

Göring's downfall left behind a large number of jobs and industries, which led to another battle among the Nazi elites. Since he returned to the front line after the meeting, he was not able to participate in the subsequent spoils distribution meeting. But what I didn't expect was that in the end, the biggest beneficiary was still himself, Goering's factories and enterprises were assigned to his own name, and the position of the fattest four-year plan general office also fell into his own hands.

When I found out the news the day before yesterday, I couldn't believe my ears. Later, I learned that the position of the general office of the four-year plan was left to him by Hitler, not to mention that he had never expressed his opinion on this position until now, so that several other high-level officials could not figure out their own path. If he is interested in this position, who would dare to touch this position, then Goering will be a specimen.

And those factories and enterprises are even more exaggerated, and before the others can speak out, their own secretary Martin. Borman had already quietly turned them around. When the other few people reacted, they couldn't help but lament, that guy really deserved to be a subordinate of "Cypraus", just like his master, his mouth was fast and ruthless. However, since Goering was defeated by himself, it is also appropriate to divide the lion's share, and there is no objection to this. And since there are many more industries in Goering besides these enterprises, especially a large number of works of art and jewelry, which are enough for the remaining few to share, the final result is finally happy.

Xu Jun couldn't help but look at his subordinate Martin, who he hadn't seen in person. Borman was curious. Historically, he was Hitler's secretary, but now he is his own secretary, and that man is a sinister and vicious conspirator in historical records, but he is also a well-known loyal dog. When the battle here is over, I really have to find a time to meet the head of the Nazi Party.

Now that he has the title of the General Office of the Four-Year Plan, the Ordnance Department has in fact become his subordinate unit. The Minister of Ordnance, Toth, has always been at odds with Goering, and this time he has done him a great favor by removing Goering from power, so he is full of good feelings for himself. As a result, when he made those special requests to him, he agreed without hesitation, saving himself a lot of trouble.

Now that the situation was clear, the British had restarted their "generator" program, they had cleared a small channel in the minefield they had laid, and had already sent three ships of supplies to Gort yesterday afternoon. But it was too late for them to try harder, and last night Guderian's Panzer Corps had broken through the flood lines of the Canal Zone and had reached Dunkerke's perimeter defenses this morning. Now the ports and docks of the British were within the range of Guderian's heavy artillery.

This morning, Guderian with his heavy artillery and with the help of artillery school firing planes had left the three small freighters on the docks in Dunkerke forever. On his own orders, Guderian stopped advancing. He was building strong fortifications, and the 19th Panzer Corps was ready to take a break while drinking beer and blowing the sea breeze, and if he had nothing to do, he could put a few cannons into the city to put a little pressure on the British and wear down their morale.

And the "Cyprus" regiment directly under his own command is also powerful on the Belgian battlefield, and now it has been deeply inserted into the back of the Belgians along the border between France and Belgium, separating the British from the Belgians. The Sixth Army also quickly broke through the Belgian defense line on the front, and was advancing parallel to the sea from the entire front. The Belgians' casualties were already approaching about 50,000 men, and they should have reached a critical point that he could bear, they were collapsing, and the surrender of the Belgian army would be only a matter of hours.

As soon as Belgium surrendered, the "Cyprus" corps would immediately take over the Belgian defense line on the right side of Dunkelke, and then the "Cyprus" corps and Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps would completely lock the port on both sides of Dunkerke. Coupled with the entire Second Air Force of the Air Force, those British will have no chance of escaping. Next, I can sit there and play slowly with those Englishmen.

He was going to use the British Expeditionary Force as bait, in fact, as long as he gave the British a glimmer of hope of escape, he could let the British Royal Air Force shed the last drop of blood in that sea area, and maybe even make their navy pay a price.

The fighting on the territory of France was also going well. Now Kleist was in high spirits with his armoured clusters to slice the French First Army into pieces, and encirclements of all sizes could now be seen everywhere on the map of the center line.

The British Expeditionary Force had been reduced to a small area near Dunkirk by the German attack, and they had been completely cut off from the French First Army.

The German Fourth Army, on the other hand, had surrounded the four British infantry divisions outside Arras, and they were now besieging the British, and at the same time they could send a few troops to the Weygand Line in France to scare the French.

I heard that the British had begun to contact the Fourth Army about surrender, they no longer had much ammunition and provisions, and the German ** team just did not attack, and did not even persuade them to surrender, this attitude of obviously wanting to starve them to death exhausted the last bit of morale of those British.

Now it is only a matter of waiting for the Belgians to surrender, when their own Ten Absolute Arrays can really be regarded as the final opening, and the suffering of the British can be regarded as the real beginning.

In the distance, a staff officer on duty ran over with a telegram in his hand. He stood still in front of Xu Jun and gasped as he reported.

"Feng. General Bock called, the King of Belgium sent messengers asking for a ceasefire, they were ready to surrender, von General Bock asked you how to answer. Then he handed over the telegram.

Xu Jun took the telegram and smiled slightly, and said to the staff officer.

"It looks like you need to exercise more, because from now on we may be several times busier than before, hahahaha, the fun is finally going to begin."
