On a bright morning, a team of Russian troops came to the village where Kamiya Kira lived, burning and killing and plundering everywhere, Kamiya Kira's parents, grandfather, grandmother and a young brother were all killed by the guns of the Russian army, and the reason why she was able to escape was entirely because of her long-term shepherding and fast running relationship.

Kamiya Kira has been shepherding sheep in the village since she was a child, and a ninja master saw her talent and taught her some ninjutsu, so that she practiced three things in her life as a sheep herd: one is the flying stone, Kamiya Zara can hit the horns of the sheep in the flock with pebbles at a long distance; the second is the lasso, which can quickly lassoe the sheep with a long rope; The third is running, she gallops, ordinary sheep and horses are not comparable, and over the mountains and mountains like walking on the ground. It was precisely because of this that she had to escape the pursuit of the Russian army and run to the village where the master lived. There, she was taught the "Thunder Flame Bullet" that the master had just developed, and at the master's order, she set off with this weapon and embarked on the road of revenge.

After listening to Kira Kamiya's story, Yusaku Uehara hated the Russian army even more, and at the same time, he was even more worried about the safety of Natsumi in Osaka.

After the two rested for a while, they continued to hurry, about in the evening, they rushed to the outside of Osaka City, and met a search team, at this time the news of Uehara Yusaku's disappearance has come out, people are very worried about his safety, Lin Yiqing specially sent several search teams to find the whereabouts of Uehara Yusaku, and now this search team has found Uehara Yusaku, and the team members are all very happy, as if they have found a priceless treasure.

The search team escorted Yusaku Uehara and Kira Kamiya into Osaka Castle, and although it was getting late, Yusaku Uehara rushed to the staff base camp as quickly as possible. Avoid teachers Lin Yiqing and General Saigo Takamori worrying about their own safety.

Sure enough, it was as Yusaku Uehara guessed. After learning that he was missing. Teachers Lin Yiqing and Saigo Takamori and Kirino Toshiaki all seemed very uneasy, Kirino Toshiaki even thought that "an enemy killed by courage is equal to a Satsuma army", although the defensive operation of Osaka Castle was successful, and the most ferocious siege of the Russian army was repulsed, but if Uehara Yusaku sacrificed, it would be worth the loss. And after seeing the safe return of Yusaku Uehara, Lin Yiqing and Saigo Takamori Kirino Toshiaki and others were very happy.

"The brave boy has finally returned safely, and the siege of Osaka has been lifted, so he should be a big white!" Saigo Takamori said happily.

"Celebration is a must." Lin Yiqing also said with a smile.

Kirino Toshiaki noticed the girl brought by Yusaku Uehara, and asked with some curiosity, "Yusaku, who is she, is she Iga's ninja?" ”

"Her name is Kira Kamiya, and we met on the battlefield. She helped me kill several Lucia ghost animals. "Yusaku Uehara couldn't help but be surprised to hear that Toshiaki Kirino had guessed the identity of Kiriya Kira." How did the shogun know she was Iga's ninja? ”

"Hehe, there are a lot of Iga ninjas who have come to join King Qin's army these days. And in the battle on the periphery, it played a big role, so I made such a guess. Kirino Toshiaki couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the battle he had fought for days.

"Oh? So, is everyone coming? Hearing that a companion had come to Osaka Castle, Kira Kamiya asked happily.

"There must be more than 1,000 people!" Kirino Toshiaki nodded, "They are all true samurai, with a bitter hatred for their enemies, and their courage to kill enemies even surpasses Satsuma's athletes. ”

At this time, Lin Yiqing did not listen to the answer between Kirino Toshiaki and Kamiya Kira, and his eyes were completely focused on the girl.

"You don't seem to have used a gun, what is your weapon?" Lin Yiqing suddenly asked Kamiya Kira.

"How did you know I didn't know I wouldn't use a gun?" Kamiya Kira looked at Lin Yiqing with some surprise.

"You can see it from the cocoons on your hands." Lin Yiqing smiled slightly, "You should be good at throwing something, right?" They're your real weapons. He gestured to the cloth bag around Kira Kamiya's waist.

Kamiya Kira nodded, stretched out his hand and took out a thunder flame bullet from the cloth bag and sent it to Lin Yiqing.

"My master said that this weapon of Lei Yan Bullet will be popular in the world in the future, and General Lin will definitely understand it when he sees it." Kamiya Kira said, "He asked me to show the Lei Yan bullet to General Lin. ”

Lin Yiqing carefully took the iron bullet in her hand, and her face suddenly became serious.

For this kind of thing, even if he is not a special soldier, but just a traverser, he will not be unfamiliar!

Isn't this just a grenade?

"It's really clever to use friction to get angry." Lin Yiqing took this thunder flame bullet and couldn't help but admire, "I really didn't expect to see ...... here" He realized that his thinking had been confused in time and space at this moment, and immediately shrunk the words behind him.

As early as the last century, grenades were commonly equipped with weapons in European armies, but at this time, grenades were about the same size as small artillery shells, mostly round, and large and heavy, and those who were not powerful could not be used. In this century, due to the rapid development of guns and artillery weapons and the large reduction of urban offensive and defensive warfare, grenades were once given a cold reception. For example, in France, although the grenadier regiment is still retained, the main weapon of this corps has been changed to guns, and grenades are rarely used in actual combat, and the name of grenadier is more of an honorary title.

But in this Southwestern War, which has now changed the course of itself, because of the increase in trench warfare, grenades - grenades will reappear and will be widely used!

As for the use of grenades, Lin Yiqing actually had a plan for a long time.

After the battle with the Russian army, the weakness of the Satsuma army's lack of artillery fire became more and more prominent, because the Russian army could continuously transport guns and ammunition from the mainland, and although the Satsuma army had made a certain reserve before the war, it had consumed a lot after such a long war, and was subject to the influence of the external environment (the great powers mostly maintained neutrality and forbade the sale of weapons to the warring parties). Lin Yiqing had no choice but to buy from foreign arms smugglers. As well as secret imports from the Qianguo. However, compared to the fact that Russia could produce domestically, the Satsuma Army's weapons replenishment sources were very limited, and the Satsuma samurai sometimes even needed to pick up the weapons left behind by the Russian army dead on the battlefield to replenish themselves. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Lin Yiqing was determined to increase the number of weapons that could be used to fight effectively and produce improvised weapons for the Satsuma army, and grenades were one of them.

The reason why the grenade was chosen as a weapon was that the most abundant weapon of the Satsuma Army was a large amount of explosives purchased from abroad in the name of a private mining company, which was an important raw material for making grenades.

In order to facilitate production and facilitate local materials. The grenade designed by Lin Yiqing is a porcelain bottle filled with explosives and iron steel ball lead bullets, and the bottom is equipped with a wooden handle to facilitate throwing, the explosion effect of this kind of grenade is very good, the only disadvantage is that it is not easy to fire, and the porcelain bottle is fragile, so it often does not wait for the explosion, it is broken.

But now the "Thunder Flame Bomb" produced by the master of the Iga Ninja Group brought by Kira Kamiya gave him a lot of inspiration!

Because he could see it at a glance, this "thunder flame bomb". It's rubbing and firing!

When he was a child, he loved to play "sliding cannons", and he was angry at this way. It's all too familiar......

Lin Yiqing looked at this thunder bullet carefully, stretched out his hand and twisted it a few times, and soon split the iron bullet in half and dismantled it.

Seeing that Lin Yiqing easily dismantled the Lei Yan bullet, as if this thing was made by him, Kamiya Kira's mouth opened wide in surprise, and Yusaku Uehara couldn't help but smile as if he guessed that she would be like this.

"No wonder it's so small, it turned out to be Western gunpowder." Lin Yiqing turned his head and glanced at Kamiya Qiluo, "It seems that your master is a great person!" ”

"It's also very remarkable that General Lin can crack the secret of the Lei Yan Bomb!" Kamiya Kira said loudly, "We all hope that under the leadership of General Lin, we can kill all the Lucia ghost animals!" ”

"I'm not going to let you all down." Lin Yiqing nodded and said, "Thank you for sending such an important thing, I promise you that there will be more Lucians who will die on this weapon." ”

"This is what I should do! It is also the master's wish! Kira Kamiya replied.

"By the way, can you tell me who your master is? How did he know about me? Lin Yiqing suddenly remembered something and asked again.

"I don't know the master's name, and I haven't seen him, but I know that he is an old man." Kamiya Kira's face turned red, "But General Hayashi's name has spread throughout Iga, everyone thinks that you are the reincarnation of General Takeda Shingen, and the master also said such a thing, after the master taught me the Lei Yan Bullet, he instructed me to give the Lei Yan Bullet to you, saying that you will understand everything when you see it." ”

Lin Yiqing paid attention to the expression of the girl in front of him, he knew that she should not be lying (a girl of this age, even if she has been specially trained, will show her feet when lying, even if it is a female ninja like Sister Mochizuki), she can't know too much if she asks again, so she didn't say anything more, just nodded.

"You've done a great job! It's getting late, so get some rest! Lin Yiqing said, turned his head to Yusaku Uehara and said, "Yongsaku, you should also go and rest!" Don't forget to check it out at home. ”

"Yes!" Yusaku Uehara replied respectfully.

"General Lin, I have a request, I hope you can grant it!" Kamiya Kira suddenly said with a flushed face.

Seeing the girl's demeanor, Saigo Takamori and Kirino Toshiaki, who had not spoken, immediately understood, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Oh? What is the request? Lin Yiqing asked with a smile.

"I hope to fight under Captain Uehara!" Kira Kamiya mustered up his courage and said loudly, looking at Yusaku Uehara with anticipation.

Yusaku Uehara didn't expect Kira Kamiya to make such a request, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Absolutely." Lin Yiqing didn't wait for Yusaku Uehara to speak, so he nodded and agreed, "You have a good understanding of attacking the enemy with explosions, and if you go to the combat engineer unit as Yusaku's assistant, it will be of great help, and I hope you can teach the combat engineer members to use this weapon." As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Yusaku Uehara, "Yusaku, Miss Kamiya will be handed over to you, I believe she will be of great help to you, you have to take good care of her." ”

Hearing that the teacher agreed to Kamiya Kira's request so happily, Yusaku Uehara was stunned again. Because the combat engineer unit he is in is a world of all men. There are no female members yet. But for the teacher's orders. He has always been unconditionally obedient. He immediately agreed: "Yes! ”

Seeing that Yusaku Uehara agreed, Kira Kamiya's face was full of happy smiles, but Yusaku Uehara didn't think much about it, he was indeed a little tired at this time, and he was thinking about Natsumi again, so that he could immediately say goodbye to Lin Yiqing and Saigo Takamori Kirino Toshiaki, and then leave with Kamiya Kira.

"Is this thunder bullet really useful?" After watching Kira Kamiya bouncing and following Yusaku Uehara away, Saigo Takamori looked at the ninja on the table with a grenade. asked.

"The bullet body she uses is smaller, although it uses Western gunpowder, the power is also a little insufficient, and it needs to be improved." Lin Yiqing looked at the Lei Yan bullet like a pigeon's egg that had been cut, and said, "The body of the bullet can be made larger, and it can be held with one hand, even if it is not used for fierce gunpowder, it is changed to black powder, and the steel ball lead bullet is inside it." The power is also considerable. And friction fire is easy to throw, regardless of offense and defense. All are sharp weapons. ”

"It's really gratifying that my Qinwang Division has another weapon to attack the enemy." Kirino Toshiaki also understood the value of this weapon, and was very happy, but when he remembered the recent battle situation, his eyes instantly became a little dim again, "It's just ......" He shook his head and didn't say any more.

"Liqiu, you're worried that this war doesn't know how to end, right?" Saigo Takamori seemed to have guessed what Kirino Toshiaki was thinking, sighed, and asked.

Kirino Toshiaki's heart was told by Saigo Takamori, his body couldn't help shaking, he looked at Saigo Takamori, then at Lin Yiqing, sighed, and still didn't speak.

"Now there are only three of us here, none of them are outsiders, Liqiu, if you have any ideas, just say it!" Saigo Takamori said.

"Sir, since the beginning of my army of King Qin, until the Lucia army arrived, there has not been a single defeat. However, the war was protracted, and not only did the elite soldiers suffer a lot, but their morale gradually deteriorated. Kirino Toshiaki hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, as you know, not long ago, the commander of the Navy, Heihachiro Togo, wrote a letter to me, hoping that Mr. 'for the sake of the common people in the world, find a perfect way, and quickly stop the war', otherwise Japan will be divided among the nations and there will never be a day of recurrence." ”

Kirino Toshiaki said, taking out a letter and placing it on the table.

Saigo Takamori sighed again when he heard this, he stared at the letter written by Togo Heihachiro to Kirino Toshiaki on the table, and after a long while, he reached out and picked up the letter, opened the envelope and read it.

After reading the letter, Saigo Takamori was silent for a long time before handing the letter to Lin Yiqing.

"Liqiu, do you think that Heihachiro and the naval officers under his command are war-weary, don't you?" Saigo Takamori asked.

"Yes." Kirino Toshiaki nodded and said, "Actually, not only Heihachiro and some of the naval officers, but also many people in the allied forces such as Tosa and Hizen now have the same thoughts, they all feel that the future of the war is unclear, the war is too protracted, and the sacrifices of the army and civilians are too heavy, and they hope to stop the war as soon as possible." ”

"What you said is that this war has indeed been fought for too long......" Saigo Takamori said, turning his head to look at Lin Yiqing, at this time Lin Yiqing had already finished reading Togo Heihachiro's letter, he folded the letter again and put it back in the envelope, and put the letter on the table again.

Kirino Riakihara thought that Lin Yiqing would tear up the letter in anger after reading the letter, but he didn't expect Lin Yiqing's performance to be very calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Hanpeng, what do you think of what Heihachiro said?" Saigo Takamori asked.

"What Dongxiang Jun said is indeed the truth, our army has fought so far, although it has not been defeated, and it has caused great damage to the Lu army, but the strategic disadvantage is self-evident." Lin Yiqing said, "Lucia is now fighting with our army with all her might, and she will not give up until she reaches her goal, and Lucia has a vast territory, a large population, and can produce weapons and ammunition on her own, although our army is elite, but the number is small, and the population of the land occupied cannot be compared with Lucia, and after a long war, it will definitely be devoured by Lucia's behemoth." ”

Some young Japanese military historians claim that this great invention, which ushered in the era of "intermediate-power guns", was the result of plagiarizing Japan's 6.5mm Ariazaka rifle cartridge. In fact, its actual prototype was the .250-3000 hunting cartridge developed by Savage during World War I, with a muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second when equipped with an 87-grain warhead. Chinese engineers have redesigned a more streamlined warhead, which weighs 117 grains and can reach a muzzle velocity of 2,652 feet per second, propelled by a bi-base spherical propellant. Compared with the 7.92×33mm bullet developed in Germany, the Type 1937 short rifle bullet is slightly heavier, but its ballistic performance and shooting accuracy are superior. The recoil is much softer than that of a full-power rifle, making it the most suitable bullet for fighting within 500 yards.

The Type 1939 automatic rifle, which fires 6.5mm short rounds, was designed by the prestigious Liu Qingen. The designer replicated the tried-and-true automaton of the Type 1905 submachine gun and the Liu light machine gun: a long-stroke gas-guided piston rotates the bolt through a half-spiral groove in the bolt body, enabling locking and unlocking. However, the air vents and pistons of the Type 1939 automatic rifle were moved above the barrel, leaving room under the barrel for a double-row double-feed magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds, and a firing mechanism containing a fast and slow machine.
