In Fengtian City, in the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army, when Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan were studying the current war situation in the three eastern provinces. Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing's excited voice began to sound outside Liu Hua's office. Immediately after, Li Qing's figure appeared at the door of Liu Hua's office.

"Boss, political commissar, telegram from the Central Military Commission. The Central Committee has decided to transfer Comrade Zuo Quan, deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, to the post of chief of general staff of our Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Su Yu, chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, to the post of first commander of the mechanized corps of our Northeast Field Army. At the same time, the Central Military Commission has decided to send 800 commanders below the division level, political work cadres, and local cadres to serve in the Northeast Field Army from among the graduates of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. However, the central authorities asked us to send troops to Taiyuan City to pick up the people in person after 10 days in order to ensure the safety of these cadres..."

"Hehe, boss, you should really guess correctly, the Central Military Commission really agreed to your suggestion and transferred Comrade Zuo Quan and Comrade Su Yu. I really didn't expect that the two CEOs would be able to endure the pain of love...."After listening to the report of Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing, Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar who was in Liu Hua's office, said with a smile on his face to Liu Hua beside him.

"Commissar, this is to be expected. Lao Li, immediately call back to the Central Military Commission, thank you for the Central Military Commission's support for the Northeast Field Army. Half a month later, I will personally lead the special operations division to the local central station, report to the leaders, and bring back a large number of cadres from the party Central Committee to support our Northeast Field Army. Liu Hua nodded and ordered with a confident expression.

"Boss, you plan to go to the Party Central Committee to pick up these cadres in person, you see, isn't it a little too grand..."As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a shocked face.

"Of course, commissar. These people are all the elites and talents of our party, especially President Zuo and President Su. Both of them are the hearts of Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye. As the supreme commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, of course, I will personally greet the arrival of the two bosses and everyone at the highest level. So, when the time comes, I must go and greet you all in person. Liu Hua replied.

"Well, according to what you said, boss, it's really inappropriate for the rest of us to go except you in this matter." After a short period of thought, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said very approvingly.

As soon as the words of political commissar Luo Ronghuan fell, another excited voice reached Liu Hua's office. Immediately afterwards, Fu Chunsheng, who had just arrived in Fengtian City and officially served as the director of the Fengtian Arsenal, stood at the door of the office with an excited expression.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar, Deputy Chief of Staff. Good news, good news from the arsenal just now...."Under the puzzled gaze of several people, Fu Chunsheng, the director of the factory, said excitedly.

"Director Fu, what good news, so excited....Could it be that the three weapons I asked the arsenal to research and produce have already been developed by the arsenal...."Looking at Fu Chunsheng with an excited face in front of him, Liu Hua suddenly reacted from the shock, and his face also showed a trace of excitement, and he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief... According to the report of Wang Guoqiang, deputy director of the factory, all three weapons have been studied this morning. At present, the directors of the three branch factories have already arrived at the weapons test site with weapons. Now, they are waiting for the arrival of the chiefs, and then they will start testing the performance of various weapons...."Fu Chunsheng replied affirmatively.

As soon as Fu Chunsheng's words fell, a thick smile immediately appeared on Liu Hua's face. He said to the inexplicable political commissar and deputy chief of staff Li Qing beside him: "Political commissar, Lao Li, I am worried that in half a month, there will be no gift to the Party Central Committee as a gift for our Northeast Field Army. I really didn't expect that the arsenal would send me these three weapons, and I finally don't have to worry about this matter anymore..."

"Boss, what kind of weapon is it, so mysterious..."Seeing the two people in front of him with excited faces, political commissar Luo Ronghuan and asphalt, he still asked with a puzzled face.

At Liu Hua's suggestion, Factory Director Fu Chunsheng explained to the political commissar and deputy chief of staff who looked puzzled in front of him: "Report to the political commissar, deputy chief of staff, these three weapons were handed over by the commander-in-chief to our arsenal for development and production. Although no specific experiments have been conducted, I can guarantee that the performance of these three weapons will definitely exceed that of almost all weapons in the world today. ”,

Seeing the two partners in front of him with shocked faces, Liu Hua said with a smile on his face: "Political commissar, Lao Li, don't think about it too much for the two of you." Now these three weapons are waiting for us on the training ground outside the city, and when the time comes, you will be able to really feel the specific performance of these three weapons at a glance. ”

While speaking, Liu Hua ordered with a serious face to Director Fu Chunsheng at the door: "Director Fu, take us to the training ground immediately... In addition, I informed Commander Sun Xingbang in the city that he would immediately send a division of troops to block off all areas around the entire training ground and within 10 kilometers and designate them as military restricted areas, and no one would be allowed to enter without my orders. ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

In the midst of the mountains, which are about fifteen kilometers away from Fengtian City, a flat land with a radius of tens of kilometers suddenly appeared in the mountains. And this flat land is a training ground specially used by the Fengtian Arsenal to test the performance of various weapons.

Under the command of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, the strength of a main division, in the shortest possible time, controlled all the commanding heights within a radius of several tens of kilometers around the training ground, and classified this area as a military restricted area.

Under the leadership of Fu Chunsheng, Liu Hua and his entourage had just entered the command post of the training ground. A week ago, several people in charge of the arsenal branch who had had a few encounters with Liu Hua walked over to him quickly.

"Report to the chiefs, the director of the Arsenal Rifle Factory, the director of the Arsenal Artillery Factory, and the director of the Arsenal Anti-aircraft Gun Factory, successfully completed the task. After a week of hard work, we successfully researched three types of 'Chinese' weapons. At present, all samples of the three weapons have been made and are on the test ground, waiting for the inspection of the chiefs..."

"Okay, good job, Deputy Director Wang, I really didn't expect that in just six days, all the samples of the three weapons were obtained. Let's go to the training ground immediately and test the specific performance of these three weapons. Let's see if these three weapons really have excellent performance as they were said a week ago. Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered with an expectant look at Wang Guoqiang, the deputy director of the rifle factory in front of him.

"Yes, Chief. Then let's first test the three 'Zhonghua Type 1 semi-automatic rifles' that have just been developed. Wang Guoqiang nodded affirmatively, and took Liu Hua and his party to quickly walk towards the light weapons test site.

Within a few minutes, a shooting range appeared in front of everyone.

At Wang Guoqiang's signal, a soldier with a rifle ran over quickly. Taking the rifle in the soldier's hand, Wang Guoqiang introduced to Liu Hua and the others in front of him.

"Report chief, this is the first 'Chinese Type 1 Semi-Automatic Rifle' that my Fengtian Arsenal has just developed and produced in accordance with the drawings you provided, which took a week to develop."

Looking at Wang Guoqiang's hand, except for the caliber of the rifle, the entire body of the gun is no different from the MI rifle that the US Army will equip the troops with half a year later, Liu Hua's face immediately showed a trace of excitement. Facing Wang Guoqiang in front of him, he asked with an urgent expression.

"Lao Wang, quickly introduce to all of us, the specific performance of this rifle?"

"Yes, Chief...."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this rifle, called 'China Type 1 Semi-Automatic Rifle', is the first finalized semi-automatic rifle in China. According to the principle of production, this gun adopts the principle of gas conduction type operation, and the bolt rotary locking method. The air duct is located under the barrel. After the hammer strikes the firing pin to cause the bullet to be fired, part of the gunpowder gas enters a small piston barrel from an air hole near the end under the barrel, which pushes the piston and frame backwards. The guide protrusion on the bolt slides along the guide groove of the frame, and when the frame recoil drives the two locking protrusions on the bolt to be freed from the locking groove of the receiver, and rotates to achieve unlocking, and the bolt recoil process completes the action of throwing the cartridge case and presses the hammer into a standby state at the same time. The tail end of the bolt frame hits the rear end of the receiver and is driven by the reentry spring to start the re-entry. The guide protrusion on the guide bolt in the guide groove of the frame drives the bolt to rotate until the two locking protrusions enter the locking position. During the re-entry process, the bullet is loaded and the bolt is locked. The frame continued to re-enter into place, and the gun was again in a state of readiness. Compared with the contemporaneous back-pull bolt rifle (manual loading of bullets), the firing speed of the Zhonghua Type 1 semi-automatic rifle has been qualitatively improved. On the battlefield, its firepower advantage has been able to effectively suppress manually loaded rifles. ”,

Seeing everyone's faces, because of their own professional terms, they immediately showed a look of doubt. Wang Guoqiang continued to introduce.

"Chiefs, to put it simply, this semi-automatic rifle, as long as it is used properly on the battlefield, is worthy of a light machine gun. Its most important advantage is that in terms of performance, it combines the advantages of rifles and light machine guns. ”

"Deputy Director Wang, what you said is true, this rifle is really worth a light machine gun on the battlefield..."As soon as Wang Guoqiang's words fell, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a shocked face.

"Yes, Chief. Below I will introduce you to the specific specifications of this rifle. According to the design requirements, the specifications of this semi-automatic rifle are:

Caliber: 6.50 mm, can use all the 38 rifle bullets captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield.

Magazine capacity: 8 rounds, using magazine feeding.

Bolt: Gas-conducted, slewing locking bolt.

Overall length: 1.1 meters.

Barrel length: 610 mm.

Muzzle velocity: 865 m/s.

Empty gun weight: 4.37 kg.

Effective range: 730 meters. ”

"Okay..."Just as Wang Guoqiang's words fell, I don't know who was the first to shout loudly. This was followed by a round of applause. Every commander standing behind Liu Hua was like looking at a treasure, staring at the rifle in Wang Guoqiang's hand in front of him without blinking.

"Okay, comrades, Deputy Director Wang, after listening so much, everyone should have a certain understanding of the specific specifications of this rifle. However, if the rifle is not tested on the spot, no one knows the specific performance of this rifle. Look, let's go to the shooting range now and see what kind of semi-automatic rifle this is..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, who had been standing beside Liu Hua and did not speak, also looked at the rifle in Wang Guoqiang's hand in front of him with bright eyes, and proposed with an excited face.

"Report to the political commissar, before coming, Director Fu has already made a special explanation, the introduction is not as good as the real thing, and the real thing is not as good as the live demonstration. Now I'm going to take you to the shooting range to experience for yourself the power of this semi-automatic rifle. Wang Guoqiang hurriedly replied.

Rushing into the shooting range and following Liu Hua all the time, Commander Sun Xingbang, who had already been in love with this semi-automatic rifle in Wang Guoqiang's hand, was the first to rush to the firing point despite the opposition of the political commissars around him. From the hands of a fighter, the semi-automatic rifle, loaded with a bullet, was directed at a fixed target one hundred and fifty meters away, and the trigger of the rifle in his hand was pulled.

"Bang bang bang..." The eight bullets in the magazine, under Sun Xingbang's squandering, took less than ten seconds to shoot out of the muzzle.

Sun Xingbang, who finished firing a magazine, didn't seem to have enjoyed it, picked up another magazine next to him, loaded the bullet quickly, and continued to pull the trigger. Two magazines, sixteen bullets, in Sun Xingbang's hands, a lot of all envisioned a target one hundred and fifty meters away.

"Good guns, good guns... Commander-in-Chief, this is the best rifle I've ever used since I became a soldier... Commander-in-Chief, when will this semi-automatic rifle be able to equip the troops..."Reluctantly sent the rifle in his hand. Sun Xingbang could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, quickly rushed to Liu Hua's face, and asked eagerly.

As soon as Sun Xingbang's words fell, Li Qing, the deputy chief of staff, who had just finished firing a magazine, also rushed to Liu Hua with an excited face, and asked Liu Hua with an excited face.

"Boss, I dare to guarantee that as long as this rifle can be equipped with troops, the combat effectiveness of our Northeast Field Army will definitely have a new improvement. When the time comes, the strength of an army will definitely be able to face a main division of the Japanese army. Boss, when will this rifle be ready for the troops, and can you give me a sample of this rifle as a souvenir..."

Seeing the two people in front of him with eager faces, Liu Hua shook his head with a wry smile. Then, he said: "Old Sun, it is only a matter of time before this rifle is equipped with troops. However, when your first corps will be installed depends on the specific production of this rifle in the arsenal. In addition, for this semi-automatic rifle, with our current capabilities, it is simply impossible to carry out a full-fledged rearmament. So, I mean, at the moment, with our capabilities, this rifle can only be used with all squad leaders and deputy squad leaders in the whole army. Let each infantry squad of our army have not only one infantry suppressive light machine gun, but also two semi-automatic rifles of this kind. As for Lao Li, I can't agree to your request. ”,

Seeing Li Qing with a puzzled expression, Liu Hua explained.

"The samples of these three rifles can be said to be the first semi-automatic rifle in our country and have very important historical significance. Therefore, I will take these three rifles as a gift, and half a month later, as a gift from my Northeast Field Army, I will personally give them to Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the commander-in-chief of the Party Central Committee. ”

I saw a look of sudden realization on everyone's faces. Liu Hua's words turned sharply, and he asked Wang Guoqiang in front of him: "Director Wang, we are very satisfied with the performance of this rifle. When the time comes, I will certainly personally ask the Party Central Committee for credit. By the way, how is the production of this rifle now.? ”

"Report the chief, because the rifle factory is mainly engaged in the production of Japanese-style 38 rifles. Therefore, even if the workers were asked to work overtime, they would only be able to produce 100 rifles per day. Wang Guoqiang replied.

"With the production capacity of a hundred rifles, it takes half a month to produce 1,500 rifles. It's too little..."

As he spoke, Liu Hua slowly fell into deep thought. However, in less than half a minute, Liu Hua's eyes showed a hint of edge.

"Because of the continuous fighting, tens of thousands of rifles have been stored in the logistics warehouses of the field army. Therefore, for this type of 38 rifle, there will be no shortage for the time being. Director Wang, if the production of the Type 38 rifle is stopped, concentrate on the production of this semi-automatic rifle. How many sticks can you produce in half a month? ”

In the face of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's repeated questions, after a short period of thought, Wang Guoqiang replied affirmatively: "Report to the chief, if all the personnel and resources of the entire rifle factory are concentrated to produce this semi-automatic rifle, I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem with the 500 rifles produced per day. In half a month, we will definitely be able to produce at least 7,500 pieces..."

"Okay, I'll give you half a month, and you can produce seven thousand of these semi-automatic rifles and the corresponding magazines for me. When the time comes, I'll be useful..."Liu Hua's face immediately showed a satisfied smile, and he ordered affirmatively at Wang Guoqiang in front of him.

"Yes, please rest assured, the chief will ensure that the task is completed..."

"Well, Director Wang, this matter is decided. Let's go and take a look at the next weapon..."Get the results you want, get your goals." Liu Hua's mood can be described as very happy. Under the leadership of Fu Chunsheng in front of him, he quickly walked towards the artillery test site one kilometer away.
