307th Maxim heavy machine gun

"Maxim heavy machine gun!" Yang Dongfang saw that the shooting fire was bursting with continuous flames, and the bullets rained down on the sandbag soil, soaring out a one-foot-high burst of dust, his eyes tightened, and his heart was shocked, with a surprise, and at the same time a little suspicious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Maxim heavy machine gun! It doesn't seem to have appeared so soon, at least after the 80s.

The first time the Maxim heavy machine gun showed its might was in 1890 in the war between the British army in Rhodesia, Africa, and the local Mactabili-Sulus, in a battle, a British unit of more than 50 people repelled dozens of charges by more than 5,000 Macbili with only four Maxim heavy machine guns, killing more than 3,000 people.

And now it's only been 65 years.

Whether it is or not, Yang Dongfang will not let go of this kind of good thing, let people stop probing, not shelling, but let people move to the factory and shoot flat with medium-caliber solid bullets.

"Boom!"

A cannonball passed, a wall collapsed directly, this is just an ordinary wall can not compare to the city defense wall, suddenly there was a big hole, the devil second regiment rushed over with a bead gun, the firepower is also lasting, where is the opponent of this gang of god-killing opponents, and it was defeated and surrendered at once.

At the first glance of the mysterious weapon, Yang Dongfang unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, and the southern army of the Second Devil Regiment was amazed at its strange gun, touching it.

"Sure enough, it's a Maxim heavy machine gun! And it's still a more mature type, no wonder there was nothing wrong with it just after playing for so long. In addition to sighing, his heart continued to rejoice, Yang Dongfang ordered: "Find the person in charge of the arsenal, find out who invented this thing, and don't move anything first, and the arsenal will not be dismantled for the time being." ”

Soon the person in charge of the arsenal and the person who invented this gun were brought over, and the person in charge of the factory was an old guy with thin hair, with a thief in his eyes, and pointed to the young man behind him and said: "This general, he is the inventor of our firearm." ”

Yang Dongfang asked, "You invented this gun?" ”

It was an extremely young man, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, of medium height and a little thinner, and he replied, "Yes, General!" But in fact, it's not like I invented it.,I just copied the things on the drawing.,Mr. White is in charge of production.,The person who really invented him wasn't here.,So we're also soldiers who didn't intend to hurt you.。。 ”

The young man was obviously afraid that Yang Dongfang would settle accounts with him and explain the situation clearly, Yang Dongfang asked with a smile: "What is your name and why do you say that." ”

White, the person in charge of the arsenal, seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly scolded: "Makqin, don't talk nonsense, this gun was designed and invented by you, be careful of yours. ”

The person in charge of the arsenal wanted to continue, but Yang Dongfang found that the young man looked panicked, and he also interrupted: "Shut up!" Take him down for me. ”

"Now you can say that the person who threatened you has been driven away by me."

After a moment's hesitation, the young man said, "General, my name is Hiram Stevens Maxin, and I used to work in my uncle's factory in Massachusetts, but suddenly one day White found me and brought me here saying that I could fulfill my dream of invention.

A few days later, a young man wearing a Halloween bat mask gave me a drawing of this gun and asked me to learn how to break it down and make a model according to the drawing, and it was strange that the person who gave me the drawing said that he had to name this gun after me. ”

"You are such an honest person, I don't know what the name of the person who gave you the drawings is and what they look like!" Yang Dongfang continued to ask, he was sure that the person in front of him was the original inventor, but the guy who gave him the drawings was probably the traverser, and this traverser obviously deliberately found Makqin in order not to reveal his identity, and directly built a heavy machine gun with a mature plate.

Makqin shook his head, saying that he had never heard of that person, let alone seen the true face of that person, because that guy was wearing a mask and he couldn't see clearly, and he also gave him a layer of dry shares for nothing, which also made Makqin hate, so he took the initiative to explain all this, thinking that it was a conspiracy.

Yang Dongfang was slightly disappointed, and at this time, the soldier came over to report that White who had just been dragged out had committed suicide, which further confirmed that the mysterious man was a traverser.

However, the clue is broken, and it is not easy to find him.

"A guy who can play Yin and can design ordnance and weapon drawings is not easy to deal with! Or are they simply two traversers? The damn system doesn't give any hints. "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, which makes Yang Dongfang helpless, but fortunately, this time it happened to end the arsenal invested by this guy.

If you have no heart, you will be cheaper, and you will be water-cooled! Flesh Blender, hey, hey, hey! Come on, scholars, copy the invention to your heart's content, it's all mine.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hiram Stevens Maxin, I won't hurt you, none of this has anything to do with you, but since you can copy the things on the drawings, you must have thoroughly analyzed the principles and construction of the entire firearm.

So you stay here and supervise the production, I'll send a few people to learn from you, and as long as you teach them, I can let you go and send you back to Massachusetts, how about it! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Makqin had to accept the reality, nodded his head, and agreed.

So Yang Dongfang asked people to immediately resume the production of the arsenal, make every effort to manufacture Makqin heavy machine guns and bullets, and arrest the families of the production technicians to control them, this time he wanted to move these technicians and the factory away.

Therefore, the Second Regiment of the Devil is responsible for arresting people on the one hand, and guarding the arsenal on the other.

Of course, in addition to the four Makqin heavy machine guns that have been captured now, Yang Dongfang also seized 500,000 rounds of other types of ammunition, 50,000 shells, and 2,000 long and short guns from the arsenal, most of which are short guns, and the rest are a bunch of machines.

Three days passed, the news of Philadelphia was captured by the navy, at this time the federal army was attacking Baltimore, suddenly heard that Philadelphia was occupied by the Confederate army, for a while the people's hearts were bright, seeing that this place was about to be captured, the defenders in the city were a little unbearable, I didn't expect the rear to be taken away, how can I not be in a hurry.

Even Washington was shocked and called an emergency meeting.

The meeting agreed on two options, one was to suspend the attack on Baltimore, change it to a siege, transfer most of it to Wilmington, and then join the New York side in remitting the enemy of the city.

The second plan was to take Baltimore first, eliminate the Confederate army here, and then attack the Confederate army in Philadelphia.

The first plan was supported by most of the population on the grounds that the Federation had more troops and could fight on multiple fronts, and Baltimore was less important than Philadelphia.

The advantage of the second plan is that it can consume a single southern army, and one less southern army is weaker.

Acting President Andrew Johnson supported the second option because it was similar to the wishes of former President Lincoln, who insisted on eliminating the living forces of the Confederate army.

The longer the war drags on in Baltimore, the more unfavorable it will be to the Union, and when the training of the New Confederate Army in Baltimore is completed, it will be more difficult to capture and pay a greater price.

"Johnson, what are you going to do, you Southern ghost, do you want to see Philadelphia, see the Delaware Valley Economic Belt destroyed by the Confederate Army? There are 40% of our manufacturing industry, there are countless factories, do you want to watch it become a ruin, looted by the Southern army before you are willing to send troops?
