It didn't take long for Wan Hu to come to Qiao Youhua's residence, and after the two shook hands, they sat down.

Qiao Youhua said: "Brother Wan, you and your brothers have worked hard this time. ”

"Where is the hard work, compared to Commander Qiao, you and the soldiers are fighting bloody battles against the Japanese invaders, we are only doing our best." Ten Thousand Tiger Road.

"What kind of commander is called me, it's really unaccustomed to being called like this, or calling me Brother Qiao sounds kind." Qiao Youhua pretended to blame.

Wan Hu smiled and said: "Okay, I'll call you Brother Qiao, by the way, there is something I have to report to you, and I can't say anything in the telegram." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded, indicating that he was listening.

Wan Hu paused and said: "I didn't ignore the formation of Long Yingwei after I returned to Tianjin this time, I already have a preliminary plan, and I have now found a group of suitable personnel, when do you think they can be transferred to the base area and receive training?" ”

Qiao Youhua pondered for a while and said, "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, now I have a more important matter that you need to do, which is why I am so anxious to find you." ”

"Well, Brother Joe, you just command." Ten Thousand Tiger Road.

"The Germans helped us get a batch of German-style weapons, which were much more advanced and powerful than the Japanese weapons we use now and the British weapons produced after the completion of the arsenal.

The Germans did not want to offend the Japanese on the surface, so they only agreed to transport them to Tianjin, and we needed to receive them as much as possible, and I wanted you to take your brothers to set off and return to Tianjin, so that these German-style weapons could be safely transported back to the base area. Qiao Youhua said.

Wan Hu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take people to set off immediately and rush back to Tianjin overnight." ”

"Brother Wan, how hard it has been for you and your brothers, when we have the ability to launch a counterattack and recover Pingjin one day, we will definitely treat you and your brothers well." Qiao Youhua said.

"Brother Qiao, what are you talking about, the brothers are just doing what they should do." Saying that, Wan Hu stood up and said to Qiao Youhua: "Without further ado, I'll go first." ”

"Well, be careful all the way and take care." Qiao Youhua also stood up and gave his hand.

…………

On the third day after Wan Hu left with his people, the arsenal finally completed the test and officially put it into production.

Qiao Youhua, Guo Meng and others were invited to the arsenal to observe the operation of the production line, and at the same time, Johnson also built a small coal power plant near the arsenal, and the equipment and equipment were shipped with Billy Lavis.

The arsenal itself includes steel smelting and machine tool processing, so the construction of another power plant can complete the production line, and now some of the equipment that needs electricity in the arsenal is still supplied by high-power generators brought by Billy Lavis.

This kind of generator burns diesel, not to mention the noise, and this diesel fuel alone is also an unaffordable consumption for the current dragon's tooth column, so it is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua readily agreed to Johnson's construction and instructed political commissar Guo Meng to organize manpower and listen to Johnson's command to prepare for the construction of a coal power plant.

There are already coal mines in the Pingshan area, so there is no need to worry about the resources of the coal power plant, and it is good to use local materials.

In order to ensure the safety of the arsenal, Qiao Youhua specially drew a company from the guard battalion and reorganized it into the arsenal garrison, with the deputy commander of the guard battalion Monkey as the captain, under the dual leadership and command of the guard battalion and Qiao Youhua.

The various roars in the arsenal sounded for a long time, and a British rifle was produced, because in order to show Qiao Youhua a sample, the whole factory was producing a rifle at full capacity, and the speed was relatively fast.

The production technology and equipment provided by the British were copied from the Lee Enfield Rifle Factory, so the rifles produced by the Hirayama Arsenal now are also Lee Enfield manual rifles.

The rate of fire of this rifle is similar to that of the Japanese 38 large cap, but the caliber is 7. 7mm, larger than the German Mauser rifle and the Soviet Union's Mosin Nagant rifle, it is the largest caliber rifle among manual rifles.

Therefore, this rifle has another Chinese-style name, that is, Ying Qiqi.

Johnson brought the first Chinese-made Ying Qiqi to Qiao Youhua, and said respectfully: "Dear Commander Qiao, please try the gun!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a magazine containing five rounds of yellow-orange-orange bullets and placed it on the table in front of Qiao Youhua.

Qiao Youhua glanced at each other with Guo Meng and the others, reached out and picked up the Ying Qiqi, and after looking at it carefully, he opened the chamber, loaded all five bullets, and pushed the bullet into the chamber.

He stood up, walked behind him, and when he was about a hundred meters away from a large tree, he stopped and raised his gun with both hands and began to aim.

Liu Jianhua, Zheng Yunshan and others all set their eyes on Qiao Youhua, expecting him to fire this shot.

Qiao Youhua aimed at a tree trunk about the thickness of a baby's arm, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang! A loud bang, a shot 7. The 7mm rifle bullet whizzed out and hit the trunk of the tree accurately, breaking it off on the spot, and the muzzle of the gun was filled with some green smoke.

Guo Meng, Liu Jianhua, Zheng Yunshan, Johnson and others applauded, and Johnson said with a smile: "Commander Qiao, your marksmanship is really good, in the words of you Chinese, it is a hundred steps through Yang!" ”

Qiao Youhua turned his head and said: "Mr. Johnson has won the prize, this gun is good, the recoil is not large, but the power is much stronger than the 38 big cover, if this shot is hit on a person just now, even if the leg is not dead, it will be half disabled, and there will never be a situation where the 38-type rifle passes through the target's body, but it cannot be killed." ”

Liu Jianhua stepped forward eagerly and said, "Commander, the power of this gun looks really good, and it also makes it enjoyable to shoot a few shots from the humble position!" ”

Qiao Youhua threw the gun directly at him: "No problem, in the future, we will use Ying Qiqi for rifles, and German weapons for submachine guns and machine guns, and the little devils who can definitely be killed!" ”

Liu Jianhua took the gun, threw it aside excitedly, and fired three shots in succession, even Zheng Yunshan, who was addicted to it and was in a hurry, couldn't help but step forward and said: "Battalion Commander Liu, don't fight, leave me a shot, I'm also having fun!" ”

Qiao Youhua looked back at the two subordinates with a smile, turned his head to Johnson and said, "Mr. John, are there any bullets?" Let my subordinates have a good time, the new guns, they are all very rare! ”

Johnson took out another ten rounds of ammunition from his body, Qiao Youhua took it with a smile, and threw it to Liu Jianhua and Zheng Yunshan, who were still fighting for the last shot.

Johnson smiled and said: "The two officers don't have to fight, soon our arsenal will be able to produce more new guns, and you can use them whenever the time comes!" ”

Qiao Youhua said: "Mr. John, with our current scale and manpower and material resources, how much can the output reach?" ”
