49th Mediation
Chiang Kai-shek immediately stood up from his seat and greeted happily: "Hello, Yu Nong! As soon as you came today, you put on a good show for me, and you played well! Well played! His mouth was talking, but his eyes were always on the assault rifle in Han Xing's hand.
Han Xing had to hold his hands flat and deliver the assault rifle to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek took the assault rifle and looked at it while saying: "I have seen the power of this submachine gun, it can be fired in bursts or singles, it is very suitable for combat, how to say, this box of bullets also needs twenty rounds, right?" ”
"It's 30 rounds." Han Xing corrected.
"Excellent! Very good! Chiang Kai-shek praised again, saying, "Which country is this?" ”
"This is a weapon from our Liaocheng Arsenal." Han Xing said proudly.
"What?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little stunned for a moment, "This is a weapon produced by the Liaocheng Arsenal, and it is a weapon made by us in China!?" ”
"This ...... This...... How could I not know! Chiang Kai-shek criticized Dai Li, saying, "Yu Nong, this is your fault, you have never told me." Loyal and brave people, our army has never been lacking, what is lacking is good weapons! ”
Dai Li hurriedly said respectfully: "This is the fault of the subordinates. However, it was only today that I saw such a submachine gun, which is indeed much better than a pistol, much better than our medium rifle, and even better than the German submachine gun that little Japan took just now, it seems that it is not inferior. ”
"It's not that it's not inferior, but it's better than the German submachine guns, of course, that's just my opinion. Let the experts quickly test whether this weapon is the best or not, Yan Ji, hurry up and do this. ”
Chen Bui entered the house, respectfully held the assault rifle, and went to an expert to test it.
"Oh, since it was produced by Liaocheng Arsenal, which designer designed it?" Chiang Kai-shek asked again.
Chiang Kai-shek asked these words, Han Xing felt that it was difficult to answer, saying that he designed it himself, he must have a red face, he was obviously plagiarizing the works of later generations, how could he say that he designed it himself? But if it were to be said that it was designed by later generations, these words would not be able to be spoken! I can't say it. Han Xing thought about it, he had to give an explanation to the chairman, and he could only ask Zhao Hongwu to say this, just look at his wisdom.
Han Xing had no choice but to say: "My deputy stationmaster Zhao Hongwu, he knows better, why don't you call him?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek looked at Han Xing's eyes, and had no choice but to say, "Then please ask Stationmaster Zhao." ”
After a while, Zhao Hongwu came in, because he had never seen Chiang Kai-shek, and a person of his level could not have dreamed of meeting the supreme leader of the Kuomintang, so his face was flushed with excitement, and his body trembled slightly.
Chiang Kai-shek asked him: "Who designed this submachine gun?" ”
Zhao Hongwu stood upright: "The chairman of the report committee was personally designed by our Hanhang stationmaster. ”
"Are you telling the truth?" Chiang Kai-shek didn't believe it and asked him again.
Zhao Hongwu was upright again, and said respectfully: "Report to the chairman, I don't dare to tell nonsense if I am killed." ”
Chiang Kai-shek smiled, pointed at Han Xing's nose and said, "I said Han Xing, Han Xing, you are really good!" It's obviously my own design, but I'm embarrassed to say it, and I have to let others say it. Genius, genius, can not only lead troops to fight, but also design clever military products, it is really the luck of our party, our army, and our people!! ”
"Report to the chairman, what is this, Station Chief Han not only designed a submachine gun, but also designed a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun, and the heavy machine gun can also hit planes and tanks." Zhao Hongwu wasted no time in saying what he should have said.
"What, is this true?" Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback again, his eyes glaring at the boss, "If I can really deal with the Japanese planes and tanks, then I can sleep at night." Yunong, why didn't you tell me such important information? That's what's wrong with you. ”
Han Xing hurriedly gave Dai Li a round and said: "I really don't complain about Director Dai, this is also a product just produced by Liaocheng Arsenal, and the specific details have not yet been reported to the central government." ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said to Han Xing: "Listen, Stationmaster Han, quickly send five light machine guns and five heavy machine guns produced by you to Wuhan and ask the experts to appraise them." If it is really a good weapon, then our national government will cover it all, and the price will be favorable. ”
Han Xingxin said, I didn't expect that the good news would be in trouble, if all the good weapons are covered by your national government, then how can we resist Japan in Liaocheng? No matter how to deal with weapons in the future, we will have to find another way. But Han Xing thought about it in his heart, and he still had to say: "Yes, resolutely obey the orders of the chairman." ”
When everything is laid out, the things that should be said will be much easier to do. Han Xing had no choice but to say to Chiang Kai-shek: "Report to the chairman, we are here this time, in fact, there is a more important matter, I want to ask you for instructions?" ”
"What's the matter, will you just tell me?" Chiang Kai-shek politely said to Han Xing, "Based on my feelings, when you talk about things, you will always bring me unexpected surprises." May this be good news? ”
"That's right," Han Xing reported to Chiang Kai-shek, "and the plan of our southern expeditionary army has already been reported to the relevant departments. Our general operational plan is to open up the air passage from Jinan to Wuhan and use paratroopers to parachute into the combat area to attack key targets of the Japanese army. However, there are more than 100 Japanese planes near Xuzhou Airport, and our Jinan Air Base has only 40 planes, so please ask the central air force, and our two forces will join forces to defeat the Japanese Army Air Force at the Xuzhou base, open up the air corridor from Jinan to Wuhan, and then our Southern Expeditionary Army can hit Wuhan at once. ”
Chiang Kai-shek listened to Han Xing's words, lowered his head, thought about it, and thought for a while before he said: "Open up the air corridor from Jinan to Wuhan, paratroopers will be airborne in Wuhan, and key targets will be attacked...... This is indeed a bold and risky plan, Zhou Zhirou, quickly call Director Zhou here. ”
At this time, although Chiang Kai-shek was the chairman of the Aviation Committee and the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, after all, due to too many things, the main operations and training were in charge of Zhou Zhirou, director of the Aviation Committee and former commander-in-chief of the enemy.
The attendant hurriedly called Zhou Zhirou, and after a while, Zhou Zhirou came to Chiang Kai-shek's office.
Chiang Kai-shek said to him: "The Southern Expeditionary Army in Liaocheng has already sent a report on opening up the Xuzhou Air Corridor and striving for the main force of the National Air Force to participate in the air battle in Xuzhou. ”
Zhou Zhirou smiled and said: "The report has been received, but I think this report is unrealistic, it is all unrealistic and utopian dreams." ”
Chiang Kai-shek asked him: "Why is it unrealistic, you can tell me." ”
Zhou Zhirou said: "Let's talk about our current air force, since this year's 218, 429, and 531 air battles, it has eliminated dozens of combat planes of the Japanese army, but we must be cautious and see the current shape clearly. We have this little capital, more than 100 planes, once they run out, the consequences are unimaginable. As for the Japanese air force, because it has a strong industrial base and a strong regeneration capacity, the loss of dozens of aircraft was restored in a few days. As far as I know, there are more than 100 fighters and bombers at the Xuzhou base alone, and we are fighting hard with them, which is exactly what the Japanese army could not ask for. In the next step, the Japanese air force will attack Wuhan again and again, what should we do? ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Isn't it true that the Southern Expeditionary Army still has 40 captured Japanese planes, and they can also fight from the north?" ”
"That's a nice thing to say," Zhou Zhirou simply disdained the 40 planes of the Southern Expeditionary Army. "Not to mention how effective these 40 aircraft are! I am in the Air Force, and the training of pilots in the Air Force alone is not a matter of a year and a half, and it takes a lot of effort. Not to mention, an Air Force pilot is worth more than an airplane! Excuse me, how many air battles have you participated in, and how many enemy planes have you destroyed? ”
Han Xing hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Hongwu couldn't hold his breath, listening to Zhou Zhirou's contempt for the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army, he was already a hundred dissatisfied.
At this time, Zhao Hongwu puffed his chest and said confidently: "Report to the commander-in-chief, report to the former enemy commander-in-chief, since the Jinan airport was taken by us, the Southern Expeditionary Army has participated in three air battles, the first time it shot down 6 enemy planes, the second time it completely annihilated 24 enemy planes, the third time that is, we took a plane this time, parachuted into the sky over Wuhan, in the air, this transport plane shot down 2 enemy planes, a total of 32 enemy planes, and our Southern Expeditionary Army did not suffer a single casualty. ”
It's not a loss to engage in intelligence, but he knows it clearly.
"What?" This time it was Zhou Zhirou's turn to widen his eyes in surprise, not only was he surprised, but even Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li were very curious. One by one, their eyes widened and their ears pricked up, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
Zhou Zhirou said solemnly: "Please respect the commander-in-chief and me, on this occasion, if you lie about the military situation, you will have to go to a military court." ”
Zhao Hongwu stood upright and said confidently: "My subordinates don't dare to lie, if I lie about the military situation, I am willing to engage in military law." ”
Zhou Zhirou looked at Chiang Kai-shek, still a little unconvinced.
However, Dai Li's eyes showed a very proud look, and in Han Xing's internal secret telegram, he had already reported some clues of air battles to Dai Li, but Dai Li did not report to Chiang Kai-shek truthfully, and he was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would not believe it, so he had to report to Chiang Kai-shek at the appropriate time.
The time seems to be coming today.
So, Dai Li said to Chiang Kai-shek seriously: "Chairman of the National People's Congress, our agents have already verified the air battle, and everything is real. ”
"Real ......" When Zhou Zhirou first entered the door, he still looked down on this young man who was only in his twenties, and at this time, he had to re-examine the young man in front of him with another eye, and asked again: "Excuse me, Stationmaster Han, as far as I know, Japan's 96-1 or 95-1 is just equipped with 2 7.7mm machine guns, this kind of heavy machine gun has a limited range, can it be said that you have re-modified the plane and installed a powerful 20mm cannon." ”
At that time, the plane was equipped with a 20-mm cannon, which was still the most advanced weapon, and Zhou Zhirou was not a loser to the Air Force, so he said so.
