Wang Demin didn't know what caviar was, which made Shi Zebo on the side laugh, he had seen it at a foreign instructor when he was at the Baoding Military Academy.

"Leader, this caviar is not our Chinese sauce, but a very expensive dish of Lao Maozi and Europe and the United States, even in Europe and the United States, ordinary people can't afford to eat it."

Wang Bin also nodded with a smile and said, "What Camp Chief Shi said is right. This caviar is not a sauce like our Chinese mish, it is a favorite and precious food of Westerners, and it is known as the three most expensive and delicious foods in the world in Europe and the United States and French foie gras and truffles. ”

Wang Demin was still a little puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Isn't it the Western sauce made of fish roe?" How could it be that good? European and American people still can't afford to eat? It's still the most expensive? ”

Wang Bin explained with a smile: "Caviar is indeed not a sauce, it is just an experienced maker who evenly coats the eggs taken from the belly of the live fish with a little salt. Moreover, the fish roe used to make caviar is not an ordinary fish roe. The eggs that can be used to make caviar are taken from sturgeon that have been grown for more than 12 years, and the eggs used to make the highest grade caviar are taken from sturgeon that has been grown for more than 60 years, and one kilogram of caviar is worth hundreds of oceans. ”

"In Harbin's Central Street, in the most famous Jewish-owned Minia Gyur restaurant, a small plate of ordinary caviar is worth a dozen oceans. The caviar we seized was packed in tin cans, one kilogram, and there were eighty cans. I've seen it, the origin of these caviars is the Caspian Sea in the USSR, where the caviar is famous. ”

"If these 80 cans of authentic caviar were to be sold at the Minia Ajur restaurant, they would be worth at least 30,000 oceans. These things can't be eaten by Lao Maozi's ordinary soldiers, this must be for Lao Maozi's senior officers to eat, if this is burned, it will be a pity. ”

Wang Bin's explanation also aroused Wang Demin's interest, he really didn't expect that this caviar was not a sauce.

Wang Demin laughed: "This old Maozi is really interesting, it is obviously salted and brine fish roe, and it is called caviar by them." If that's the case, our Shandong pancake rolls and green onions can also be called a Meiji similar to their sandwich. ”

Wang Demin's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Since it's a good thing, let's take it all away, and let the brothers open the meat tonight. Although the salary of our Fourth Route Army is very high, if the soldiers spend more than a dozen yuan to eat a small plate of fish roe, I am afraid they will not be willing to give it in this life. Also, since this caviar is so precious, ten cans of caviar will be sent to the brigade commander and division commander so that they can also taste it. ”

Wang Bin nodded in agreement, and turned around to call the staff officer to convey the order.

Shi Zebo hurriedly said: "Regiment commander, all the captured weapons and ammunition can't be blown up!" ”

Wang Demin said with some puzzlement: "Enpeng, this old Maozi's caviar is a good thing, we must take it away." However, this time we brought enough ammunition, and we didn't need Lao Maozi's weapons and ammunition. Besides, Lao Maozi's weapons and ammunition are not the same caliber as those we use. Lao Maozi's weapons will be regarded as treasures in other troops in China, and our Fourth Route Army will not look down on them. The weapons and ammunition we carry with Lao Maozi are not only useless, but also a burden. ”

"Moreover, there are too many weapons and ammunition for us to take away even if we want to. Although I also think it's a pity that it was blown up, but there is no way to do it, I can't let Lao Maozi take it back. ”

"Commander, I didn't mean to take them all."

Shi Zebo reached out and took a Soviet Depp turntable machine gun from the guard platoon commander.

"Regiment commander, Lao Maozi's 7.62 caliber light machine gun is very good, with strong firepower and large ammunition capacity. A little lighter than the ZB-26. Our ZB-26 and this machine gun are a bit of a loss, we should take this light machine gun away. ”

"Also, I just took it apart and looked at it, this light machine gun has a simple structure, there are only 65 parts in the whole gun, the requirements for accuracy are not high, the mechanism of the gun is very reliable, no matter how dirty it is, it will not have much impact on the shooting ability. Its disadvantage is that it can only be fired in bursts. There is also a fixed connection between the barrel and the receiver, which cannot be replaced at any time. However, his barrel dissipates heat very well, and I just fired two plates of bullets, and the barrel doesn't even feel much temperature. ”

"The point is that the ammunition used for this machine gun is the same as that of the Lao Maozi Water Lianzhu rifle, as long as we collect more disc magazines and carry enough rifle bullets from Lao Maozi. Among the ammunition delivered by Lao Maozi this time, there must be a lot of rifle bullets. ”

What Shi Zebo said about Shui Lianzhu refers to the standard rifle that the Soviet army is now equipped with by the regular army -- the Mosin Nagant rifle.

The time when the Mosin Nagant rifle entered China can be traced back to 1900 during the "Gengzi Rebellion", when Russia sent 180,000 troops to occupy the northeast and fought against the Qing army and the anti-Russian volunteers many times, and the Chinese [***] team captured some. Four years later, Northeast China became the main battlefield for Russia's struggle for hegemony in the Far East. During this period, a considerable number of Mosin Nagant rifles were lost on the battlefield, which was the beginning of the country's exposure to this weapon.

After the October Revolution, the White Russians, who fled to China, brought with them a number of Russian-style rifles, which were resold to various warlords. In 1924, Sun Yat-sen established a revolutionary political axe in Guangdong and actively prepared for the Northern Expedition. According to the agreement, in October of that year, the Soviet steamship "Vorovsky" arrived in Guangzhou and sent 8,000 Mosin Nagant rifles, with 500 rounds of ammunition each, to arm the student army of the Whampoa Military Academy.

In addition, after Feng Yuxiang withdrew from Yanjing, he went to the Soviet Union to investigate, and obtained the arms provided by the Soviet Union, including a large number of Mosin Nagant rifles, which could equip 100,000 people, and transported them to China through Outer Mongolia, so that Feng Yuxiang could swear in Wuyuan and join the Northern Expedition.

Some of the rifles imported from Guangdong to the Whampoa Military Academy were later used by the 20th and 11th armies of the National Revolutionary Army, who eventually participated in the Nanchang Uprising and fell into the hands of the Red Army.

By the end of the twenties, there were a considerable number of Mosin Nagant rifles obtained in China through various channels, and they were widely used, so the Shanghai Arsenal began to produce Russian-style guns and ammunition in 1927 to supply domestic needs.

Because when the Mosin Nagant rifle is fired, not only is there less smoke, but also the sound of the gun is crisp, especially the ammunition supply and firing action are crisp and neat, and it is like a splash of water droplets when it is fired continuously, which is very popular with the Chinese people, so it is vividly called the water bead by the Chinese people.

The commander of the second battalion also said at this time: "Enpeng is right, Lao Maozi's machine gun has a long shooting duration, and we changed the magazine twice, and it only changed it once, and our second battalion suffered a great loss just now." ”

"Is this machine gun really that good at Lao Maozi? It turned out to be better than our ZB-26? ”

Wang Demin asked in disbelief, as he reached out and took the turntable machine gun from Shi Zebo's hand.

Wang Demin shook it in his hand, fiddled with the strange-looking machine gun for a while, and then pulled the bolt with a "bang", picked up the machine gun flat, and pulled the trigger on the open space of the river beach.

"Da, da, da......"

Wang Demin's sweep swept so hard that the sand and rocks on the river beach flew wildly.

Without intermissions, it took about a minute to empty a drum, which was also in battle, because burst fire was often used, and it should take two or three minutes to change the drum.

Wang Demin was a little surprised that the Soviet army's machine gun fire lasted so long, and it was not until he ran out of drums that Wang Demin handed over the gun to Shi Zebo.

Wang Demin said with satisfaction: "It is indeed a good gun!" I didn't expect this old man to really have a lot of good things. Take all these machine guns and bring all the bullets with you......"

Before dark, Wang Demin led his regiment, escorted the poor and lucky 45 Soviet prisoners, drove the herd, and carried a large amount of booty, and safely evacuated the battlefield in the night, and hid in the reckless Hangai Mountains.

Behind them, the long convoy of Soviet troops lit up a raging fire, like a red dragon, reflecting the night sky.

Of the more than 100 light and seriously wounded of the Soviet army, Wang Demin did not take any of them with him.

Originally, the commander of the second battalion suggested that all these Soviet wounded should be killed, so that they would return to the Soviet army after they were wounded, but no one knew about it anyway.

But Wang Bin and Shi Zebo did not agree to do so.

The two of them reasoned that the shooting of prisoners of war, especially wounded and sick prisoners of war, was inhumane and contrary to the International Convention on Neiva. Moreover, it is very likely that the escort personnel of the Soviet army have slipped through the net, at least the cavalry platoon of the puppet Mongolian army that was the top soldier has slipped through the net, and this matter has a bad impact on the reputation of the commander-in-chief and the Fourth Route Army.

However, if you take these Soviet wounded and waste medicine, you have to assign fighters to take care of them. Although Wang Demin couldn't bear to kill the defeated Soviet soldiers without weapons, he let Wang Demin send people to take care of the wounded Soviet soldiers all the time, which made him somewhat unwilling.

In the end, Wang Demin decided to salvage all the corpses of the Soviet soldiers and place them on the river beach so as not to pollute the river. Then the wounded Soviet soldiers were properly bandaged, leaving some food, waiting for the Soviet troops to come to their rescue.

The rescuers of the Soviet army will not arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, and it will be easy to do during the day, but at night it is already minus five or six degrees in Beimeng, and this temperature is good for ordinary people, but it is very cruel to the weak wounded. However, Wang Demin can't manage it so much, whether these Soviet wounded can survive this cold night and wait for the rescue personnel to arrive, it is not something that Wang Demin can manage thoroughly.

The next morning, Soviet reconnaissance planes found the wreckage of the convoy still smoking and the corpses of Soviet soldiers on the river beach. The troops of the Western Front of the Soviet Army, which had advanced to the Great Tamir, also received a report from the cavalry platoon of the puppet Mongolian army that had slipped through the net.

The troops of the Western Front of the Soviet Army did not dare to continue their eastward advance because of the lack of baggage and supplies, and had to stop at the Great Tamir and wait for the rear to deliver baggage supplies. At the same time, the Air Force was urgently requested to search for the squadron [***] that was hiding behind them and threatening their lines of communication.
