"What? A weapon across the ages? What weapons are capable of transcending generations? The two days passed quickly, and Marcos, the U.S. military liaison officer who arrived on Jeju Island by plane on the same day as Wesley, but was unaware, obviously did not believe Zhao Zhi's words. Although Zhao Zhi and the thunder he formed brought countless surprises and surprises to the US Congress, Marcos still did not believe that Zhao Zhi's description just now was true. Designing new weapons is not something anyone can do, especially when Zhao Zhi also said that the weapons to be displayed at the meeting are epoch-making, which makes Marcos even more suspicious, but he knows that Zhao Zhi has been fighting in China.

"Hehe" Zhao Zhi said with a smile, "Major Marcos, don't be so impatient, that's right, just now I said in front of everyone that the weapon that will be displayed will be cross-era, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this, because this weapon has been tested hundreds of times when it was first designed, and the test data is very satisfactory to me." Zhao Zhi's voice successfully attracted the attention of everyone present to himself.

"Gentlemen, whether you belong to the Thunder Force or the US Army, you all have a common identity, that is, soldiers, since you are soldiers, then you should be no stranger to machine guns, what I am about to show you is a new machine gun with cross-era significance." Zhao Zhi strode forward, and a wooden frame covered by a camouflage net had been placed in the open space in front of Zhao Zhi.

"In 1861, a doctor in the United States, Richard? In order to shorten the war and reduce the casualties of young people, Mr. J. Gatling began to develop a new and more effective weapon to defeat the warlords of the South, and finally in November 1862 he obtained his first patent for a machine gun, the Gatling revolver. This is the first automatic firearm in human history that can shoot bullets continuously, and it consists of five to ten barrels that complete the locking, firing and unloading according to the principle of a clock. However, this minigun also has a fatal weakness, it is too large, the ammunition supply system is not as good as the Maxine machine gun that appeared later, and the fire deviation is slow. So in 19o8, this weapon was gradually forgotten. ”

"But I think it's time for this weapon to shine again, and the new minigun that will be shown to you will have a startling rate of fire if you have a small electric motor on the gun. 2ooo rounds per minute, such a stormy rate of fire would be a nightmare for infantry. Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi grabbed the camouflage net on the wooden frame and opened it violently, and a huge iron guy appeared in front of everyone, in fact, this iron guy is not very big, but the thick barrel of the gun makes people feel that the gun looks huge, and the whole gun is like a thick iron rod.

Zhao Zhi came to everyone with a smile and said: "This new type of revolver gun is driven by external energy, and a small motor set up inside drives the piston of the rotating tube to move back and forth, and then drives the entire barrel group to rotate through the spiral groove on the receiver to complete the automatic cycle. The double-barreled sliding movement is a shot of gunpowder gas to drive two movements to reciprocate, respectively to complete the action of feeding and rejecting the shell, the whole movement is driven by gunpowder gas, and its rate of fire is faster than any kind of machine gun in the world. ”

Seeing that everyone looked disbelieving, Zhao Zhi smiled slightly and then gestured with his eyes, and Wesley, who was also smiling, reached out and snapped his fingers, and soon a guard carried a large box of bullets. Grabbing one end of the bullet chain directly from the ammunition box and stuck it in the ammunition supply slot, Zhao Zhi explained with a smile, "Here are 3,000 rounds, you can look at your watch and count the time to see if its rate of fire can reach more than 2,000 rounds per minute as I said." ”

"Now please pay attention, the shocking scene is about to appear." Zhao Zhi dropped the cigar in his mouth and pressed the button on the handle of the machine gun against the woods in the distance of the clearing. With the sound of the motor turning, everyone saw that the thick pipe began to turn, and as the gunshots rang out, a storm of bullets swept through the trees, and the woods that were still lush just now changed in a blink of an eye, and the trees in the distance instantly fell and fell. However, this only lasted for a little more than a minute, and the fire dragon in front of the machine gun stopped firing, but the thick barrel still rotated.

Everyone present looked stupid, "Crazy! A madman! Marcos muttered softly as he stared at the place that could no longer be called a wood. The forest with at least 200 trees was reduced to nothing in an instant, all the trees were broken by the rain of bullets that Zhao Zhi had just launched, and all you could see now was hundreds of wooden stakes exposed on the ground, and the upper half of the trees could be completely dragged back to be used as firewood for barbecue food.

Tapping the machine gun whose barrel had stopped rotating, Zhao Zhi said with a smile, "This is the Thor machine gun that our Thunder is about to equip the troops, which is specially used to carry out large-scale positional offensive and defensive battles with the Japanese army, of course, the speed at which it consumes bullets is also very powerful, the rate of fire per minute is at least 2,000 bullets, and after a battle, a Thor machine gun alone will consume at least more than 50,000 rounds of bullets." ”

Marcos and his officers also wanted to talk to Zhao Zhi about the idea of the US military purchasing this weapon, but when they heard Zhao Zhi say that Thor consumed bullets, Marcos had to give up the idea of buying Thor in large quantities, but it was very good to buy a batch of equipment for the Marines on the Philippine battlefield. Zhao Zhi is also a rabbit who doesn't scatter eagles, Marcos wants to take the goods first and then give the money, obviously it doesn't work, in the end, Wesley really can't stand it and make a peace, Zhao Zhicai agreed to Marcos's request to use a landing craft plus 100,000 rounds of ammunition for a Thor, anyway, Thor and Browning heavy machine guns are the same caliber bullets, Marcos They don't lack that bit of ammunition.

Wesley only brought 200 Thor machine guns, and after Marcos replaced 20 of them, Zhao Zhi placed the remaining 180 Thor machine guns on the Kurume line, and he had to wait for reinforcements sent by the Japanese government to rush over and send him to death. The tens of millions of bullets brought by Wesley seem to be a lot, but there are many Thor machine guns in Zhao Zhi's hand, and they are carefully distributed to each Thor, and each machine gunner can only get less than 100,000 rounds of ammunition, so Molun, who stayed in Kunming, has one more task, so that the Browning heavy machine gun bullet production line can increase productivity, and it is necessary to ensure that these Thor machine guns cannot be cut off from ammunition supply.

"Sir, why do we have to go to Kyushu Island, isn't it good to stay on Jeju Island? At least we can withdraw to Jiaodong at any time. "Ye Kong, who vomited in the dark in the landing craft, was very puzzled, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Japanese government would not let the Thunder occupy Kyushu Island, but why did his own husband personally go to Kyushu Island to command the operation, is it because of those Thor machine guns? With this question, Ye Kong, who vomited all the way, was carried to the Nagasaki Port dock by the escort mercenaries around him, and then was stuffed into the military car and went straight to the Kurume defense line.

The number of mercenaries transferred by Zhao Zhi to Kyushu Island has increased from the initial 2,000 to 12,000 people, which is almost the sum of all the mercenaries that Zhao Zhi has arranged on Shandong and Jeju Island. "Move the line of defense inland and leave all the coastline to the Japanese, so that they have a place to facilitate the landing of troops." After walking around the defensive line, Zhao Zhi began to adjust the defensive line.

The Japanese army will never only use ordinary fishing boats and merchant ships to transport troops, and the naval guns on the warships are not something that Zhao Zhi's defense line can resist, and the purpose of Zhao Zhi's trip is to test the practicality and inadequacy of the Thor machine gun in a large-scale position, and if there is not enough Japanese attack, he will not be able to test the real data. The retreat of the defensive line was not only to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, but also to leave a hole for the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could fall into the trap.

"In this battle, we must play the majesty of thunder, let the whole world know the name of our thunder, and let the Japanese army hear our name and dare not be our enemy." On July 18, 12 days after Zhao Zhi launched a large-scale bombing campaign against Nagasaki, the Japanese government and military finally responded to the thunderous landing on Kyushu Island. Two infantry divisions and a tank wing that remained on the mainland slaughtered the island of Kyushu with great vigour, and the ships transporting troops back and forth between the port of Moji in northern Kyushu and the port of Shimonoseki on the opposite island of Honshu were as dense as locusts, and in only half a day, the Japanese army transported one and a half divisions from Honshu Island to Kyushu Island.

In the face of the attack of a strong enemy, Zhao Zhi only moved the defense line slightly upwards to the line of Asakura and Hida, and arranged the second batch of mixed troops landing on Kyushu Island to be concealed and waited by in Mt. Hase, in Fukuoka Prefecture, north of Asakura. Zhao Zhi's immobility was quite surprising to the Japanese base camp, looking at Zhao Zhi's posture, this is to have a head-on duel with the reinforcements who landed on Kyushu Island, which happened to fall into the arms of the Japanese base camp, Zhao Zhi's troops are able to fight again, and his 10,000 regular troops and the 400,000 rabble are also difficult to resist the attack of the two regular divisions of the Japanese army, not to mention that there are other armed forces of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island to fight back.

"It's the mule or the horse that wants to pull it out and slip around knowing who is faster, and doesn't hit the head and break the bloodstream, how do they know that they will avoid us in the future." Seeing that the officers under him were starting to panic, Zhao Zhi simply took these restless guys around to find a fun place to relax. After two long days of waiting, the two Japanese divisions from Honshu Island appeared less than 30 kilometers north of the Thunder Defense Line, and Zhao Zhi's side was ready to meet them.
