As he said, Zhao Yun followed this old man Deng to the military camp in Xuancheng. After inspecting the equipment of the Hui Army, Zhao Yun can describe "dizziness" in one word!

At first, I thought that the Hui army was a strong army in China, but the weapons should not be much better, after all, didn't the history books say that China's weapons were backward?

It can be seen that when the Hui army is equipped, the wheelbarrow is a green cannon, and the small steel cannon of Krupp, Zhao Yun has an impulse to pierce people, who said that the weapons of the Chinese army are poor, this is the regular army, and the weapons are really not covered!

It is said that this is only the second-line army, and the first-line army has been transferred to the north. From Old Man Deng's words intentionally or unintentionally, Zhao Yun learned that this Old Deng didn't see the shape clearly! is ready to resist the direct forces entering southern Anhui, and Lao Deng is not the only one like him, many local forces left by Duan Qirui in Anhui are ready to do so, and they have already allied. That's why there is such a rush to expand the armament.

All right! Zhao Yun admitted that the Hui army in this era was very combative, but when he heard who their opponent was, he gave up on Lao Deng.

Sun Chuanfang! Their opponent is this direct titan. Zhao Yun seems to remember that this guy has the title of Governor of the Five Provinces! That must have been repaired by the Anhui system in history!

So where is this guy now? All right! Zhao Yun also had to say, I don't know why, this guy didn't fight immediately after the end of the Zhiwan War, but there is definitely not much time left for Lao Deng to do it.

But thinking about it, Zhao Yun still thinks that this is none of his business, he just wants to live a comfortable life, anyway, it's still early before World War II! I still have a lot of time to hang around in the Republic of China!

Don't blame! No one has a good life, but they just want to go to war every day! That's a war maniac, not a normal person!

Zhao Yun's mentality is like this, live a comfortable life first, and help if you can. Of course, in case it comes, this is not the case.

So, under the pretext of research, Zhao Yun was ready to borrow a batch of weapons in the army, and he still returned them when they got the guns, but there was always some interest on borrowing things, and Zhao Yun had to prepare some ammunition when he returned them.

Hearing that Zhao Yun could get ammunition, Lao Deng was even more polite to Zhao Yun, and even opened the arsenal in the barracks to Zhao Yun, and sent someone to introduce it.

There are still a lot of good things in the Hui army, far more than the above two. Let's take a look at the guns first, this old Deng Ke really tried his best, and there were all kinds of guns in the team, from "old sleeves" and "Hanyang made" to Mauser, including the German rifle 98a, the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle, and the French M1914 Hatch Chase heavy machine gun.

The German rifle 98a, which is the product of the Gew.98 fusion of the actual combat experience of the First World War, the barrel is shorter than the Gew.98 standard cavalry gun, the barrel length is shortened from the Gew.98's 29.1-inch barrel to 23.6 inches, one of the advantages of shortening is that the gun finally makes the gun no longer look like a spear, and the bolt handle also adopts a down-curved pull handle suitable for cavalry use.

Of course, there are fewer in this category, and more are Gew.98.

As for the Gew.98 rifle, that is, the predecessor of the Mauser 98k. It was a weapon used by the Germans in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, and now you can imagine the age of these Gew.98 rifles.

The Mosin-Nagant rifle was Lao Maozi's weapon, a very typical Russian-made light weapon -- cheap, simple, reliable, and able to meet the actual needs of the Russian army.

When Lao Maozi and the Japanese fought in the Northeast, there were many Mosin-Nagant rifles left in the Northeast, and this gun appeared relatively early, and more were sold to China.

This gun is very rough compared to the Mauser rifle, which is also the usual style of Russian weapons, but the overall handling feel is not as good as that of the Mauser. However, the advantage of the Mosin-Nagant rifle is that it is easy to produce and use, simple and reliable - this is extremely important compared to the Russian army, which has a low industrial base and low soldier education process, especially in Russia's harsh war period, which needs to increase the production of weapons in a short period of time to meet the needs of the front, and the large number of "crowd tactics" guides and a large number of supplementary personnel often lack training time. This is just right for Old Man Deng's current situation, a large number of soldiers recruited from the countryside, and the actual situation is similar to that of Russia.

In terms of combat performance, it has an effective range of 400 meters, with the assistance of a sight it can reach 800 meters, and the actual rate of fire is 5 seconds / round. Although the Mauser has a high accuracy of shooting, it does not have an advantage in real combat, this gun is not much different in the hands of a recruit and when using a Mauser, do you expect a recruit to fire ten shots in a row and shoot a hundred rings out? So Zhao Yun has to admit that this ginger is still old and spicy! Choose the right one, not the expensive one. However, Zhao Yun thinks that it is better for his team to use "made in Hanyang", after all, this gun is also good.

As for the French M1914 Hatch Chase heavy machine gun, the firing range is 2400m, but the angle of fire of the gun carriage can only reach 60 °. This machine gun is said to be the standard weapon of the Japanese army, which was widely used in the Russo-Japanese War in 1904~1905, and became famous on a par with the Makqin machine gun equipped by the Russian army. The gun is also a mature firearm, with a simple structure, a small number of parts, and high shooting reliability in various harsh environments.

Looking at the traces of use on this gun, Zhao Yun guessed that this thing was obviously second-hand that Lao Deng had picked up from the Japanese.

Finally, there is the king of war, the cannon. This is also the most helpless thing that Zhao Yun saw in Lao Deng, the French Type 1897 75mm field gun and 155mm GPF cannon.

1897 style! Well, this is just the style, it doesn't say how old the cannon is, but the 1900 logo on the nameplate indicates the year of its birth, and this era is now 1920, you can calculate how many years this cannon is.

As for the 155mm GPF cannon, it is quite powerful, and it was copied by the Americans after the First World War, the First World War! This cannon also has the label of the United States of America on it! At first glance, it is a product that the United States does not want, hey! Second-hand again. Zhao Yun estimated that this was because Lao Deng was too fierce to expand the army, but seeing these "good things" that Lao Deng didn't know where to get them, Zhao Yun could also appreciate Lao Deng's efforts.

But there is a return, looking at the condition of these weapons, Zhao Yun is very worried, the cannon is not just looking mighty, it must be hit when it is fatal, these are all second-hand goods, in case of fighting, will anyone make it, whether it can be beaten is really two words!

Originally, Zhao Yun's nature didn't want to say it, but on the one hand, for the sake of the cannon's face, and on the other hand, for the identity of Wang Yougui's ally, Zhao Yun felt that it was better to remind him.

"Boss, the juniors are here to disturb again!" Zhao Yun entered Commander-in-Chief Deng's office under the leadership of the guards.

Old man Deng was looking at the map, and when he saw Zhao Yun coming, he immediately got up to greet him, "Virtuous nephew!" How did the problem with weapons be solved? ”

When Zhao Yun heard this question, he could only smile bitterly, "Not yet, just want to ask a question?" ”

"You little guy, there are so many questions, you ask!" Old man Deng rolled up the map on the table and sat down with Zhao Yun face to face.

"Boss, the juniors don't ask where your cannons and those guns came from, the juniors just want to ask where your cannon maintenance staff is?" Zhao Yun knew that he was a dog and a mouse to meddle today, so he went straight to the point.

"Cannon maintainer? What's wrong? Is there a problem with my cannon? As soon as Old Man Deng heard that it was related to his cannon, his expression immediately became stern.

"Do you know the artillery situation in your ranks?" Seeing that Old Man Deng was surprised by the word cannon maintainer, Zhao Yun estimated that there was no special person in the army responsible for management.

"What happened to my cannon? Did the artillery break it? "This old man Deng is still more concerned about his own eating guys.

"It's not that they broke it, it's that it didn't work in the first place, did you test the cannon after you pulled it back?" Zhao Yun saw that this old man was fierce, and said carefully.

"Test guns?" When Old Man Deng heard Zhao Yun say this, he shook his head again and smiled bitterly, "Hehe, the virtuous nephew doesn't know my situation here!" In fact, the fact that the virtuous nephew can give his opinion today proves that he is not an outsider, and he still cares about my old bones in his heart. This cannon was entrusted to Shanghai Ocean Bank to purchase, but only 20 shells came with the cannon, and there was not even a base. ”

"20 rounds? Is this enough? "Although I don't know how much a base number of cannons means, but think about it, it's not more than 20 rounds!

"So you said I just had this shell, how could I test the cannonball!" After Old Man Deng finished speaking, he thought that this kid didn't know if there was a way to get some!

"Why don't you buy more?" Zhao Yun still thinks that the more the merrier! Isn't that all on TV?

Old man Deng is now more and more interested in this kid who can help him, "Hehe, virtuous nephew, you forgot the rules of the arms embargo." 20 rounds is already the limit, maybe other foreign companies have a way to get more shells, but the time is too late. Just now you said about the test gun, is this cannon not going to fire? ”

"Whether it hits or not, the juniors don't know, but this cannon looks very powerful, and the whole body has been repainted, but the inside of the cannon is that I, a layman, can see that something is wrong. There is a noticeable rust on the re-entry mechanism of the gun, which should have been caused by poor maintenance, and it was not formed in a short time. In addition, there are obvious traces of oil leakage in the rear half of the gun, and it will be troublesome if it cannot be reloaded. ”

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Old Man Deng was calm, "The old man already knew what the virtuous nephew said, but without this thing to support the scene, I'm afraid that the soldiers you just saw would have already run away halfway." ”

"Then skip this question, the guns of the predecessors are also very big, France, Germany, and Russia all have them, and the chief officer in charge of logistics is probably a headache!" Zhao Yun had a new plan when he saw the weapon.

Old man Deng is also very worried about this, the disadvantage of too many types of firearms! "Yes, now this chief officer is the third logistics chief appointed by the old man this month, this is still dragging you down, bringing a large number of "Hanyang-made" and its bullets, and he barely survived. ”

"Three? Where are the first two presidents, I want to ask them about gun maintenance! "This is also a problem that Zhao Yun is encountering now, or Wu Xiaoya, the maintenance of firearms in the lake is more important. If you ask the current logistics chief officer to be suspicious of exploring secrets, Zhao Yun wants to pull a few idle logistics personnel back to maintain himself and his allies' team, after all, the personnel here are professional, that is, what later generations called "experts".

"The first two? Then you probably have some difficulty finding them, they have already been engaged in our military law. "Engaged in military justice? Zhao Yun was shocked, isn't that just being killed! This old man Deng is no wonder that he is so angry.

Talking about some arms again, Zhao Yun didn't take a single weapon from the barracks, only took away a few shells of various types and bullets of different firearms, the weapon was not that Old Man Deng didn't give it, but Zhao Yun didn't want it. Now the guy in his hand can cope with the current situation enough, and any more will be a big move.
