[Anti-Japanese Iron and Blood King] Chapter 421: Li Lanqing's Question (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

Ma Zheng's evaluation of this new rifle greatly surprised the chairman, with the chairman's understanding of Ma Zheng, he attaches much more importance to the quality of the soldiers themselves than weapons and equipment, in his words, the most important key to determining the outcome of the war is people, not equipment, I did not expect that this time he actually raised a rifle to such a big concept as the whole people, which is really rare.

"Has this rifle been tested in actual combat, and how effective is it?" The Chair asked.

"It was used in the attack on Zhangjiakou, and the effect was surprisingly good, under the combined strike of assault rifles and rocket launchers, the Japanese defense line was as fragile as paper, and it almost collapsed at the first touch." Ma Zheng said.

"Is that an exaggeration?" The chairman said in surprise.

"No exaggeration, we have now assembled a powerful assault force, the chairman can take the time to inspect it, and you will understand the specific situation after seeing it with your own eyes!" Ma Zheng said.

"Well, since you've said so, I'll definitely take a look. It's just that what is the capacity of such a gun, and when will it be equipped throughout the army? The chairman immediately asked.

"Chairman, the production process of assault rifles is not complicated, and it can be produced on a large scale, but limited by the output of raw materials such as steel, the current monthly output of the Baotou Arsenal is about 6,000, that is to say, an average of about 200 per day." Ma Zheng said.

"200 is already a lot, it can equip two regiments in a month, and within a few years, all the troops of our Eighth Route Army can be equipped with this advanced weapon!" The Chairman said.

"Chairman, it's not as simple as that. The assault rifle is indeed powerful, but the consumption of ammunition is also extremely amazing, the theoretical rate of fire per minute is more than 700 rounds, if you keep shooting, you can fire more than 42,000 rounds of ammunition in an hour, which is almost an hour of ammunition consumption for an infantry company equipped with 38 big covers, even if we can equip so many rifles, we can't withstand such a terrible ammunition consumption. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "This is just one of them, more importantly, the production process of this rifle is very simple, simple means easy to copy, once this gun falls into the hands of the Japanese, they will be able to imitate it very quickly, with the industrial production capacity of the Japanese, they will complete the refitting of the front-line troops in the shortest possible time, and it will be a disaster for us at that time." ”

The chairman obviously thought of this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "Your consideration is very reasonable, and it is also very necessary, once this advanced gun falls into the hands of the Japanese, the consequences will be unimaginable!" In that case, then why do you need to equip the troops? ”

"Chairman, there are only two units in our unit equipped with new assault rifles, one is the mechanized infantry of the assault brigade, a total of 2,500 men. The other is the special combat team, about 1,500 people, and the rest are not equipped even by the military district guard units. The two units equipped with the new rifles not only kept the identity of the personnel secret by the military region, but also conducted their training in a closed state, and most importantly, all the soldiers underwent strict education, and at no time could the weapons fall into the hands of the enemy, even if they were blown up. Ma Zheng said.

"But war is not child's play, no one on the battlefield can guarantee that they will not be captured by the enemy, they will not be killed by bullets, how can you guarantee that guns will not be captured by the enemy on the battlefield?" The Chair asked again.

"This is just one of the precautions, and in fact no one can guarantee that the weapon will never be lost, but we can only do our best. Moreover, we must also be cautious in the use of these two forces, and do not use them unless we have to, and once they are used, we must strive for a complete victory. Ma Zheng said.

"This is also a solution, but the stakes are very high, and your military region must pay attention to it." The chairman repeatedly admonished.

"Don't worry, Chairman, I promise nothing will go wrong!" Ma Zheng said.

"I won't ask about the bazooka, and the situation is similar, just take the time to see the power of the weapon on the spot!" The Chairman said.

"It's good! Then the things I want to report are also finished, so please rest early, chairman! Ma Zheng said.

"Well, then you should go back early, and you will accompany us to inspect the training of the troops when you get up early tomorrow morning!" The Chairman said.

"Okay, I'll go back first!" After speaking, Ma Zheng got up to say goodbye and left the chairman's residence.

When I returned to my dormitory, it was already half past eleven in the evening, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw my little wife reading a book under the lamp. Seeing Ma Zheng push the door in, Li Lanqing immediately closed the book, then got up, and said as he walked: "Didn't dinner disperse a long time ago, why did you come back so late?" ”

Ma Zheng smiled and said, "I just went to the chairman to report something, so I came back late, by the way, why did you come back today?" ”

"This is my home, why don't you want me to come back?" Li Lanqing took the military uniform that Ma Zheng took off, and then said.

"What's the matter, I don't seem to be very happy looking at your expression, who messed with you?" Ma Zheng asked with a smile.

"Anyone, I ask you, are you going to send me to America?" Li Lanqing asked in a deep voice.

"How do you know, I only seem to have told the chairman about this?" Ma Zheng asked in surprise.

"You don't care how I know, I'm just asking if you're real?" Li Lanqing said with a serious face.

Ma Zheng was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I have this plan, I discussed this matter with the chairman just now, and the chairman means that I will ask for your opinion before making a decision!" ”

"Well, I'll tell you clearly now, my opinion is that I don't agree, I won't go to the United States!" Li Lanqing said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Ma Zheng immediately asked.

"Ma Zheng, Ma Maniac, I see if you are stupid to be a soldier, I am your daughter-in-law, why can you bear to let me go to the United States, which is thousands of miles away. Have you ever thought that the world is so chaotic now, if I go to the United States, we will probably say goodbye forever, and we may not have the opportunity to meet again in my lifetime! Li Lanqing said loudly.

"I know!" Ma Zheng said.

"You know? You know you're going to send me away? Is it easy for the two of us to get to the present, I am a lady who followed you all the way from Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi, and it was easy to get married, and you blew up your head, and you ran to the front line of resistance against Japan a little better, and your life and death are unknown within a few months of arriving, and once your Ma Zheng's name was on the list of missing persons, have you ever thought about my feelings? ”

Speaking of this, Li Lanqing's eyes were already soaked with tears, and it could be seen that she was very sad and sad at this time.

Ma Zheng can completely understand her mood at this time, anyone who knows that her husband does not miss the relationship between husband and wife and insists on sending him abroad, he will be extremely excited, plus endless grievances.

Going abroad today is not like traveling abroad in later generations, and there are only two kinds of going abroad now. One is people who can't get along in the country, such as those who are wanted by the government, or people who are poor and have a desperate purpose. The other is aspiring young people who go abroad to learn advanced science and technology, that is, international students, and there are few people who go abroad to do business and travel.

Just as Li Lanqing just said, the world has been so chaotic in recent years, there have been wars everywhere, and where wars have not broken out, financial crises are raging, and the people are struggling to make a living. Going abroad is gambling with your life, and the probability of dying in a foreign land is very high. Not to mention that it is none other than her beloved husband who is gambling with her life, this contrast is enough to collapse a woman with a fragile mind.

Fortunately, Li Lanqing is a surgeon with excellent psychological quality, although he is very sad and sad, but he has not reached the point of collapse. Of course, Ma Zheng also knows that if he can't come up with a convincing reason today, I'm afraid that with this girl's strong character, he would rather break off with himself and become a stranger than go to the United States. Because in this girl's opinion, her behavior is tantamount to a betrayal of marriage! (To be continued.) )
