Chapter 315: M60 is born

-- Eternal repair

Hu Lian's gloves had turned black and brown, the windows in the temporary headquarters were closed to prevent the lights from being seen from outside and being shelled, and on the table of the Eight Immortals was the map of Yongxiu at this time, and the blue circle on it was surrounded by several red arrows, and only there was a way to survive in the west.

Bursts of artillery fire came from time to time outside the window, and Hu Lian's expression was sometimes solemn and sometimes resolute.

"Boyu, the brothers are in good condition, but we don't have many military doctors, and now the wounded soldiers are just simply bandaged and given an injection, but it's not a matter if the bullets are not taken out and investigated, thanks to our many medicines, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get a needle." Ma Weilong walked into the headquarters and said.

Hu Lian did not answer Ma Weilong's words, but said, "Yunfei, you see, the Japanese reinforcements have now occupied Aicheng, across the river from us, and the Japanese mechanized troops from Nanchang have also arrived at Mopanling, if we hadn't deployed troops in Huotougang and other places in advance, I'm afraid we would have rushed all the way, the distance between the two sides is less than forty miles, and all the positions of our army are within the range of the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army, which is really too dangerous." ”

Ma Weilong nodded and said, "Then what do you mean?" Childe sent a telegram saying that Xue Yue had sent reinforcements on the way, and it was absolutely impossible to retreat, in case we retreated ahead of schedule and the overall defeat of the campaign, it didn't matter if we were punished, it would be a big deal to let Childe's reputation be affected. ”

Hu Lian waved his hand and said, "Of course I know, but we only have mortars, the range is less than three thousand meters, long-range combat is not what we should do, I think we should fight street battles, fight close combat, put devils in to fight, and send a few small troops to the periphery to harass the Japanese army, I believe that the Japanese army should also guess that we will have follow-up troops, in short, try to delay time." ”

Ma Weilong had no opinion on this suggestion, and said in agreement, "Well, now the Japanese army is divided into two parts, although the Japanese army in the south is well-armed, but they are from Nanchang, whether it is ammunition supply or backup, although the Japanese army in Jiujiang in the north does not have many heavy weapons, but the reinforcements are endless, I think it is better to attack the south and defend the north." ”

Hu Lian nodded, turned his head to the communication soldier next to him, and said, "Call the various troops, I want to make a telephone speech, turn on the loudspeakers, and I want to cheer up our brothers." ”

Seeing the cynical smile on Hu Lian's face, Ma Weilong's heart was a lot more settled.

At this time, a group of people were also having a small meeting.

"Everyone who can come is here." In a ruined temple outside the Qiaotou Village position, four or five officers gathered together, all of them were company and battalion officers in the army, and there were two regiment commanders inside.

One of the leaders said, "For the safety of the organization, I only know a few of you, time is pressing, I will briefly say, this time the battle situation is not optimistic, in fact, we have been semi-surrounded, but for the sake of the whole battle situation, we must be nailed here, so in the end it is likely that the sacrifice is great, everyone goes back to organize the lottery, life and death lots, in the worst case, we must ensure that half of the comrades are sacrificed here, and the other half of the comrades have to endure the humiliation and go back, The surviving comrades must continue to secretly develop their organizational ranks in the youth army, and in addition, they must continue to make the youth army an anti-Japanese force, and not allow the youth army to be controlled by the reactionaries. Do you understand? ”

Several people nodded slowly, indicating understanding.

"Okay, let's draw first, remember, those who draw the lottery must live, for the organization, for the anti-Japanese, for the future"

After drawing lots, these people quickly ran back to their respective troops, Ye Qing dragged his pocket, there was a dead lot, although he didn't need to die immediately, but he understood that the battle situation had reached such a point, and there was little chance of going back alive.

"Battalion Commander Ye, you're back, it just so happens that the division is talking on the phone, let's listen together." A staff officer saw Ye Qing and hurriedly said.

I only heard a voice coming from the loudspeaker next to the phone, "The Han and the thief are not separated, and there is a clear precept in ancient times." Huayi must be strictly distinguished, the Spring and Autumn Period is righteous, the text is not, I guess there are many people who don't understand, to put it bluntly, brothers, the little devil is now attacking us on both sides, are you afraid? I'm scared too, but what are we? We are soldiers, what is a soldier? It was Guan Yunchang under the Tiger Prison back then, Zhao Zilong in Changban Slope, and Yue Pengju in Zhuxian Town, that is, heroes, brothers, sharpen your bayonets, leave everything behind Lao Tzu, come one to kill one, come to two to kill a pair, remember!! Kill one to return to the capital, kill two to earn one, who wants to go down if one is not killed, let alone Lao Tzu's soldiers, do you hear clearly? ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill!! The sound of killing was everywhere in the entire Yongxiu City, and a sinister aura rushed into the sky, making the Japanese soldiers not far away couldn't help but feel a chill.

The next day, the Japanese army in the south was surprised to find that the Nationalist Army, which had repeatedly fought with them village by village, no longer cared about these, as long as the Japanese army captured it, it would be ceded to the Japanese army, and it would no longer counterattack, which made the Japanese commander Shimizu Kishige a little suspicious, worried about whether there was a trap, and on the other hand, worried about whether the Nationalist Army here was retreating, but in any case, the progress of the Japanese army was indeed very smooth, and such a smooth operation made him want to stop, so he could only continue to urge the troops to advance, hoping to succeed with the Jiujiang troops as soon as possible.

On the other hand, the 49th Army, which received the military order, entered the Yunju Mountains from Shanggao, and the treatment of those from the Northeast Army in the National Army was not good, and the lack of ammunition and supplies was the truest portrayal of them.

But this unit was remarkable ten years ago, he was originally the guard unit of the Northeast Army, and at the time of the Xi'an Incident, it was this unit that captured Jiang Intermediary alive and blocked the attack of the Nationalist Army at Tongguan.

After the 77 Incident, this unit experienced many major battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Wuhan, and the soldiers have basically changed a round, the original squad leader is now the company commander and the battalion commander abounds, but the commander has always been the old man of the original Northeast Army. The commander of the army is Liu Duoquan, who was under the command of Zhang Xueliang's guards. He was also the general person in charge of the arrest of Jiang that year.

Liu Duoquan looked at the mountains with bursts of beast roars and birdsong from time to time, wiped his sweat and sighed, "Although there are not many high mountains in Jiangxi, the hills in this hilly area are endless, how long will this go?" ”

Wang Tiehan, commander of the 105th Division, pointed to the north and said, "According to our speed, it will take five or six days to arrive, and I don't know if the support of the Youth Army will live, our rescue is not easy to do, if we do it well, the credit is all the Youth Army, if we don't do it well, the above will take us under the knife." ”

Liu Duoquan sighed, "People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, Tie Han, you remember, after all, we are the ones who have arrested the chairman of the committee, and the young marshal is still locked up, it is impossible to let Chongqing treat us as descendants, we can only survive and master the troops, and wait for the young marshal to come back, as long as the young marshal comes back, we people will have real backers." ”

Wang Tiehan agreed in his mouth, but he didn't think so, he was different from Liu Duoquan, when he was 918 of that year, he did not obey the order and led the troops to resist, and it was also in this way that he could fight his way out of the encirclement and return to Guannei, in his heart, as long as it was anti-Japanese, no matter who it was.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, and after Jiang Cheng on the other side sent a telegram to ******, he immediately turned around and found Shacht to inquire about the situation.

Shacht saw Jiang Cheng and asked first, "How is it?" Why did you come back so soon? How is the war going at home? ”

Jiang Cheng explained, "The plane is naturally fast, it's okay, I thought at first that a friend of mine was seriously injured, but after I went, I found that it was not serious, so I came back, how is the Führer now?" ”

Schacht poured a cup of black tea for Jiang Cheng and said, "Goering didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he actually went to persuade the Führer to digest Czechoslovakia first, and I also told the Führer about the progress of the Roman plan, and the Führer had already said that he would not immediately start a war with Poland, no, he had already sent someone to negotiate with Poland, but I heard that the reply was not good, and our envoy was left in the room by the Poles for three days and did not come to receive him." ”

Jiang Cheng touched his chin, a little helpless about Poland, which was unscrupulous after hooking up with Britain and France, but what should be delayed had to be done, Jiang Cheng asked again, "Is there any news from Himmler?" ”

Schacht shook his head and said, "I haven't heard it, but he has been moving a lot lately, and that Heydrich is also making frequent moves, because of the Roman plan, the persecution of the Jews also has a legal basis, and it is said that tens of thousands of people have been thrown into prisons and graves, which is really a disaster." ”

Jiang Cheng knew that many of the people who were thrown into the grave were members of the resistance organization who secretly fought against the German army, Jiang Cheng didn't want to talk about this, so he pulled the topic back and said, "That's probably because I haven't found anything yet, it's okay, it's late, it's late, by the way, this is the new mining technology I brought, you see, it was originally said that it was going to be given to those giants, so I just gave you a copy, maybe you can use it." ”

Shacht hurriedly said, "Use it, definitely use it, by the way, I just got the news, the Führer is very dissatisfied with the delay in several companies coming up with new tanks, several companies have no choice but to use the absorbed technology first, it is said that new models are already being designed, and there will be new tanks from companies in about two or three months, and your factory will also refuel." “

Hearing that Germany had begun to design new weapons, Jiang Cheng was not ready to stay longer, and hurriedly drove to the Skoda factory with Chen Nan to see the research and development of new weapons.

When he came to the factory, Jiang Cheng came to the test site accompanied by Alder, and saw that all the experimenters were looking at him with stars in their eyes, Jiang Cheng only felt uncomfortable.

"What's going on? Why is everyone like this," Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice.

"Owner, it's really great, all the techniques you gave are correct, which country's technology and design drawings are this, this must be a master." Alder smiled and said, "All the new guns have been made by Brother Cheng, but the metal stamping you gave has not yet been fully mastered, but it is also very soon, you see, this is a sample made according to your design drawing." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the new guns handed over, picked up an M60 with one hand, threw it to Chen Nan next to him, and said, "Give it a try." ”

Chen Nan looked at Jiang Cheng with just one hand, and thought that the weight was not heavy, only to find that the gun weighed at least 20 pounds, and couldn't help but change Jiang Cheng's perception again.

Chen Nan first "popped" three bursts, and then held down the trigger, only to hear the sound of "puff puff" like an engine, and a puff of smoke came out, Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at the machine gun seriously, and found that the gun body basically did not move during the continuous firing, nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Alder also hurriedly said, "This gun is much better than the MG34, and the production cost is also much lower, I think it can completely replace the German machine gun in service." ”

Jiang Cheng was afraid that these people's brains would be hot, and said, "The army wants not only quality, but also quantity, only a few guns can't arm a unit, in addition, Mauser is deeply rooted in the German army, let's not think about killing it, okay, this gun is good, start producing it immediately, produce as much as you can, by the way, how about medium-power bullets?" ”

Chen Nan stood up and said, "Boss, this gun seems to be the kind of bullet you said now, you see, it's a lot shorter." ”

Jiang Cheng squatted down at this time, looked at it, and found that sure enough, the bullet was shorter than what he usually saw.

Alder explained, "With the standard, the production is still very simple, but it is not so easy to produce it on a large scale, and in addition, we have designed some small mechanisms considering that the main thing in the stock and the German army is now full power ammunition. ”

As he spoke, Alder picked up the gun and handed it to the designer next to him, who took out a few parts from a small box and took the M60 apart and replaced it, the whole process took less than five minutes.

Alder said, "You see, as soon as you change it this way, the whole gun can use full-power bullets, because the caliber is the same, so there are not many things that need to be replaced." But in this way, the practicality is much stronger. ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but give Alder and the others a thumbs up and said, "Yes, I thought of the front, besides, what about artillery and tanks?" ”

Alder spread his hands and said, "Owner, the manufacture of artillery is not so simple, especially that kind of heavy artillery, we still need some time, but we have made some breakthroughs in engine research, but it will take at least two or three months to fully master it." ”

Jiang Cheng calculated, and there was no time to do it, so he said, "Okay, then let's set up the production line of these light weapons first during this time, Chen Nan, take these weapons, let's go." ”

Alder hurriedly asked, "Boss, are you in such a hurry?" Why don't you take a break, it's only been a long time? ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Now that the German Air Force is choosing weapons, I'm really afraid that it's too late, okay, you guys should work hard and study, tell all the researchers, and if you succeed, I'll give you a red envelope." ”

Although he didn't understand what a red envelope was, Jiang Cheng's meaning of rewarding him was still spread. Skoda's R&D team cheered and watched Jiang Cheng leave. (To be continued.) )
