Chapter Ninety-Three: New Machine Guns and Industry

In just two days, after being reprinted by dozens of domestic and foreign newspapers, Yang Qiu took charge of the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, and sent a nationwide telegram to persuade Yuan Shikai to cause a sensation in the north and south of the country, and even because of the first "Tianduo Daily" to report the battle situation at Wushengguan, he became famous overnight, and Dai Tianqiu became the hottest war correspondent in China (). 3∴35686688

Every time I see the classic photo in the newspaper, with the flames of war as the background, Yang Qiu leaning against the Flying Tiger Battle Flag, and his fingers jumping out of the trench to launch a counter-charge, I don't know how many people can't sleep.

The young people regarded him as an idol, because he was only 22 years old, and almost all the main officers in the Wehrmacht were young people who clapped their hands, calling him the reincarnation of Huo Hussar, because it was at this age that General Huo Quai, who was named a wolf, died young. Those who hated others gritted their teeth, believing that he supported the army and respected himself, brought disaster to the country and government, and was unkind, and he had a black hand against his internal comrades at the beginning of the war.

However, whoever it is, must face up to his saga.

It took more than 100 days for the Eight Towns Heavy Army, the Manchu Baturu, the 42 Standard Commanders, the Commander of the Right Route Army, and then the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Army. Seize Yangxia, the first battle of Liujiamiao, capture Ruicheng, defeat Zhang Biaofei to take Wusheng Pass, reverse the current of the small Northern Expedition, recover the whole territory, bloody battle Beiyang, to the surprise of the horse pistol outstanding military exploits, determined to bi. Countless rumors and deeds seem to have been added to the head of the new commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht at once. The expectations of the constitutionalists, the dreams of the party, and the deep curse of the north were all entangled in one person.

Tea liao, street corners, hotels and even Qinglou Ji Village, as long as it is a place where people gather, it is inevitable to say a few words, envy, jealousy or admiration, fame began to expand rapidly in the gossip in the streets and alleys.

It's just that everyone doesn't know that this commander-in-chief, who was jokingly called "young and golden" by Yang Du, was lying in the mud in the experimental target area of the Hanyang Gun Factory, and like ordinary soldiers, he was making a ZB26 light machine gun that had just been finalized ().

Ho ho

A tongue of fire erupted from the trumpet-shaped muzzle cap, and with a low, powerful hiss, the bipod mount dug deep into the earth, and the bullet casings kept jumping out of the receiver, and the heavy mén plate target on the opposite side was shattered.

After firing six magazines in a row, Hao Wenbao and several other guards and machine gunners who watched from the side thought that it needed to cool down and rest the barrel like Madsen, but unexpectedly, a pair of big hands with thick gloves suddenly reached out next to him, grabbed the fixing ring of the barrel and turned it upward, and the barrel instantly broke out of the groove of the lock, and then replaced it with a new barrel, and the whole process was less than half a minute before the machine gun resumed hissing. Device: No ads, full text, more

Hao Wenbao These machine gunners are the top of the best, not only memorized the "Machine Gun Tactical Regulations" written by Yang Qiu himself, but also fought in Wushengguan for many days, and in terms of experience, he is definitely the most top-notch in the current national defense army, so he immediately saw the value of this new light machine gun. The speed and firepower are comparable to Madsen, because it is a 20-round magazine, the firepower is a little worse, but the parts are less than half of the Madsen, and the manufacture is simpler, and more importantly, the design of this barrel change completely solves the problem that the machine gun needs to rest after the barrel is overheated.

But Yang Qiu was not satisfied, the most important thing was the heat resistance of the barrel, the normal ZB26 at least 200 rounds even shè need to be replaced, but here it is up to 150 rounds to be replaced, so the barrel must be thickened to increase the heat capacity, and the flared muzzle cap must also be changed to a dust-proof decompressor.

In addition, the gap between the loading port and the magazine was obviously too loose, the originally beautiful threaded radiator was simply unsightly, and the barrel locking ring shè fluttered when hitting, indicating that there was still a problem with the cutting process. In addition, there is a big problem, that is, when using Hanyang's imitation steel shell 7.92 pointed bullet, the six magazines are jammed three times, all because of the misfit, which shows how many defects there are in the processing of the bullet and the barrel, and the recoil of this bullet is too large, far less than his favorite 7.62*54R bottom edge bullet, as for the workmanship ...... of the whole gun.

It can only be said that QQ and BMW are both sedans

After giving the gun to Hao Wenbao, who was already itchy, Yang Qiu got up and smiled at Su Hongsheng next to him: "Old Su, you are really my timely rain this time." ”

Su Hongsheng's face was also a little proud, since Yang Qiu gave him the correct drawings that night, he immediately organized the best master to start making this machine gun with all his might, plus he himself pondered the drawings for more than a month and produced a few sets of parts, so this time he took out 10 new light machine guns at once. However, he didn't dare to ask for credit in front of Yang Qiu, and said with a smile: "This gun doesn't have a name yet, so let's give it a name." ”

"Since it is the first machine gun made in Hanyang, it is called the Han-1 light machine gun."

"The Han 1 type, which shows that it was made in Hanyang, is the first machine gun made by our Han people." Xiao Anguo applauded, picked up a machine gun and shook it a few times: "We consumed a lot in Wusheng Pass, and the heavy machine gun was lost all of a sudden. ”

"Light machine guns, they can't be compared with heavy machine guns." Yang Qiu didn't care about the magazine capacity, light machine guns and heavy machine guns were originally two different things, the latter consumption was too great, if it weren't for this war, he didn't even want to equip it, so he didn't even want to buy Makqin at all, but put forward strict requirements for production and follow-up improvement.

"This gun has few parts, after using the piecework system you said, the commander, now one can be produced every three days, this is still unskilled workers, and one per day for three or five months can also be guaranteed." A few people walked towards the gun factory while walking, and along the way, they could see the soldiers of the garrison battalion guarding with loaded guns and ammunition, because Yang Qiu attached great importance to this place, so Xiao Anguo also deliberately stationed a few new battalions nearby to take on night patrol tasks, just for fear that someone would sabotage.

Ten times a month speed is really nothing, but if Su Hongsheng hadn't done a similar Madsen, he might not be able to make it in three months, purely by hand and the first time to manufacture, this speed is already very good, and when the German equipment arrives, with Austro-Hungarian skilled workers as guidance, after the caliber of the bullet yào is unified, it can be upgraded to make a better Bren type.

Although the front line is tight, Yang Qiu has never forgotten the best equipment manufacturing base in China, so Huā has made great efforts to reorganize the modern factory according to his understanding, not only adopting the piecework system, but also subdividing each workshop, and recently it has independently created a research and development team composed of all masters.

Seeing that he was not as picky as he was when he first came, Su Hongsheng finally felt a lot more relieved, rubbed his hands and asked, "Commander, I heard Xiaohu say that you bought a batch of new machines from the Germans?" ”

Yang Qiu was slightly stunned, only a few core personnel knew about the matter of the German Jiāo Yi, especially the sale of British secrets, which must not be leaked, so he immediately looked at Zhang Wenjing, who hurriedly said: "I told Xiaohu that the commander bought machinery and equipment at a large price, so let Hanyang prepare it here, so as not to be in a hurry." ”

Hearing that he deliberately said that it was huā money to go through normal business channels, Yang Qiu was also relieved and said: "I bought some, and the total amount of equipment is about more than two Hanyang, all of them." ”

Before the words of "two Hanyang more" were finished, several stewards immediately jumped up, what is the scale of Hanyang? Zhang Zhidong worked hard and spent millions of dollars to get to where he is today, but Yang Qiu actually bought back two of them with an understatement, is he a relative of the German emperor? Su Hongsheng glanced at several German bodyguards who were following from afar.

"There is no problem with the machinery and equipment, all of them are the latest models, and Germany will send at least 200 technicians to stay for three years, as for whether you can learn them all, it depends on you." Yang Qiu said: "In addition, such a large scale is not something that Hanyang can fully roll out, so I have asked Ma Kui to go to Chongqing to select a site, and prepare to build a new factory there with the Sichuan Manufacturing Bureau as the team." ”

Su Hongsheng and others who went to Chongqing to build a new factory had no opinion, and everyone was very unhappy when they could use the Sichuan Manufacturing Bureau as the team, and immediately said: "Commander, the Sichuan Manufacturing Bureau has been out of work for a long time, and the guns and ammunition made before are all unqualified, and the workers and technicians are also useless. ”

They didn't tell a lie, the late Qing Dynasty in the modern industry is not stagnant, did open a lot of machine manufacturing bureaus, but the level is uneven, in general, Hanyang, Jiangnan and Dagu three strongest, Fujian Mawei is mainly shipbuilding, as for Jinling, Guangdong, Sichuan level is very poor, in recent years in addition to the manufacture of black fire yào has basically stopped, but he can't help it, this is the current domestic industrial situation, learning Pi máo is better than not learning.

Su Hongsheng was the most anxious, and he already had the posture of betting all his future on it, and said anxiously: "Commander, don't worry, I have sent a telegram to a group of old guys who stayed in Germany back then, many of them are willing to come, and several of them have already set off, if you think you can, you might as well give them to do it." ”

"Now the whole country is moving, Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang will sooner or later get up, especially the more foreign technicians in Jiangnan, we can take this opportunity to dig up a batch at a high price, and wait for the German technicians to arrive and follow the exercise for two or three years, and there should be a few people who are in charge of themselves." Zhang Wenjing also said: "In addition, I think the property rights of the Hanyang factory should also be started, now that the commander is in charge of the military power, the Wuchang side will have to endure it for the time being, so the restructuring should be completed as soon as possible, so that no matter who is in power in the future, it will not be able to take it away." ”

The two of them said these words to Yang Qiu's heart, he had long wanted to attack the Hanyang Factory and its affiliated steel factory, but because the party and the old fox were powerful before, they would inevitably be opposed after proposing, but now they have the military power in their hands, as long as the war is not over, they must compromise on this matter, and it is better to give a few dry shares, which is better than if Yuan Datou or Sun Dacang came to mortgage it to the foreigners one day. As for the skilled workers, he has also considered, but Shanghai is far away from Hubei, and the local consciousness of the Chinese people is very strong, so it may not be able to attract so many people, but this is also the only way at present. When this battle is over, the long-term solution is to set up technical schools and polytechnic universities.

"You can discuss these things with Shen Shukai, and as soon as possible, the Hanyang and Steel Yào Factory will be assigned to my name first, and it will be restructured into Hubei Industrial Company, and I will go to say hello to Li Du." As soon as Yang Qiu finished speaking, he saw Chen Zutao running over in a hot sweat, and Zhang Wenjing took the lead in asking, "Guofu, what's the matter?" ”

As soon as the headquarters was established, he was transferred back to the secretariat as military secretary, this young man is still a "little angry youth", and Wu Shengguan's experience made Yang Qiu an idol, and immediately saluted: "Commander Xiaogan reported that Beiyang began to attack Xiaochang." ”

"It seems."

Zhang Wenjing smiled bitterly: "The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is still not satisfied with Yuan Gongbao's appetite, he is showing loyalty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty." ”
