When Zheng Weiguo came back from Expert Wang, it was late, and Chief of Staff Guo and the others couldn't wait to leave early. Fortunately, the car and the driver were left, otherwise it would be really troublesome if you are not familiar with life. The car sped all the way to a street in front of the liaison office. Zheng Weiguo suddenly saw Zhang Changgui standing on the side of the road and beckoning vigorously. I thought something was wrong, so I hurriedly stopped the car.

Zhang Changgui said anxiously: "Oh no, Shiza!" We can't go back now, there are so many reporters that the gate has been blocked! ”

It turned out that the shooting case of the women's teacher had spread, and Zheng Weiguo, who was already a supernova in the military world, instantly became a popular fried chicken. The reporters of the big newspapers and tabloids chased after them when they smelled blood, and they had to interview Zheng Weiguo. At present, the front and back doors of the liaison office are full of reporters, and they are not small, and they cannot be forced.

Zheng Weiguo was very surprised and said, "Not really! ”

Zhang Changgui said: "If you don't believe it, take a look for yourself!" ”

Zheng Weiguo got out of the car and secretly went to the corner to take a look, only to see a large number of people crowded inside and outside the door, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his head.

Zhang Changgui said gloom: "What's the matter, I didn't lie to you!" ”

Zheng Weiguo kicked him angrily and said, "Grandma, how can there be so many people!" There's at least a reinforcement for this! "In fact, there are not only reporters inside and outside the hospital, but also many normal students and enthusiastic young people who come to vote. Of course, people with status and status generally don't do this kind of thing to block the door.

Zhang Changgui secretly looked at it and said, "Master, what should I do, do you want to go in?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "the fart!" There's no end to it. I'm entangled by them all day long, don't think about doing business! He slapped his head and smiled, "There you have!" ”

Zhang Changgui said curiously: "Master, what good idea did you come up with?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Come on, come on, let's change our clothes!" ”

After a while, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "General Zheng is here!" As soon as everyone turned around, they saw a man in a lieutenant general's uniform walking over. Just heard the hula, and the crowd squeezed over.

At the front was a reporter who shouted as he ran: "General Zheng, I am a reporter from the New Life Daily, what do you think of the shooting that happened today at the Women's Normal University!" ”

Another reporter said excitedly: "I heard that the five spies were all shot and killed by you, is that so?" ”

A female student from the Normal University squeezed forward and said excitedly: "General Zheng, I, I've finally waited for you!" ”

The reporter's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "General Zheng, what is your relationship with this beautiful young lady?" Did you go to the women's teacher because of her? ”

"Some people say that you went to the Normal University to find the person you like, may I ask ......?"

"General Zheng, may I ask why you are not married yet?"

"Excuse me......"

……

"Well, in fact, I'm not General Zheng, my surname is Zhang!" Zhang Changgui couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take off his hat. The reporter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out the newspaper and compared it with the photo above, and found that it really didn't look like it.

Zhang Changgui smiled proudly: "What's the matter, I'll just say I'm not!" Uh, that girl, what are you waiting for our teacher, if there is anything I can convey to you! ”

The girl blushed, stomped her foot and ran away. There was a good-natured laugh from the crowd.

A reporter had an idea and said, "This general, are you also from the 33rd Division?" ”

Zhang Changgui was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes! ”

The reporter hurriedly handed him a business card and said, "I am a reporter from Xi'an Youth Daily, and I will do an exclusive interview with you!" The other reporters quickly gathered around as if they had discovered a new continent......

Early the next morning, Zheng Weiguo and Zhang Changgui went to see Wu Dehai, director of the Xi'an office, in civilian clothes, to discuss the matter of getting arms. As soon as he walked on the street, Zheng Weiguo saw a tabloid that read: The woman behind the new star in the military world - remembering the second or third thing between Zheng Yingying and a certain woman.

Zhang Changgui glanced at it, was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Zheng Weiguo.

Zheng Weiguo looked at it suspiciously, but did not make a sound. Unexpectedly, I didn't walk a few steps and saw a tabloid that wrote: The shocking secret - the truth about the attack on the national hero in the female teacher turned out to be related to her! There is also a photo of a female student from the National Normal University posted under the title.

Zhang Changgui couldn't help but say: "Hehe! Master, I know this woman, and I came to you last night! ”

Zheng Weiguo scolded: "Don't be nosy! Let me ask you, did you say something to the reporter yesterday? ”

Zhang Changgui hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not!" ”

Zheng Weiguo took a newspaper, pointed to the name on it and said, "Do you dare to say that the insider surnamed Zhang on this is not you?" If you turn around, you will be punished for the crime of leaking military aircraft! He walked away with hatred.

Zhang Changgui hurriedly followed behind and begged for mercy, saying: "Master, teacher, don't be angry, I am also a reporter......

When I arrived at the office, Director Wu had been waiting for a long time. He smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, I guess you will come over early in the morning!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Did the senza say bad things about me behind my back?" ”

Director Wu said with a smile: "He is worthy of being a famous anti-Japanese general, and he is a genius!" The senator said that you are a quick temper, let us prepare as soon as possible, and we have cooperated in time. ”

Zheng Weiguo was overjoyed and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Wu!" ”

Director Wu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's all for the party-state, not to mention that this is Wu's responsibility." Brother Zheng, I don't know what weapon you want this time? ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "If you want a few 37-mm anti-aircraft guns and turntable light machine guns, you need to get more shells and bullets, and it is best to get all the 182 pairs of harnesses." ”

Director Wu smiled: "You are really greedy! Then he asked: "Machine guns only need turntable guns?" I've heard that this weapon is very crudely made, so it's better to choose one that uses a chain. What's it called, huh? I couldn't even remember it all of a sudden. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Is it the Maxim-Tokarev light machine gun? ”

Director Wu said, "Yes, yes, yes! Look at my memory! I heard that this machine gun is the same as the German MG34, called a general-purpose machine gun, which can be used as a light machine gun and as a heavy machine gun! In my opinion, you might as well choose this! ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Where did you get the gossip!" If this machine gun really wants to catch up with the MG34, can Maozi be willing to sell it to us? ”

The MG34 is a general-purpose machine gun, while Tokarev is completely non-machine-gun-free. At that time, the Soviet Union did not have light machine guns, so in order to save the emergency, the Maxim heavy machine gun had to be simplified, the water-cooled sleeve was removed, and the two-legged bracket was used instead, creating a four-like monster. You say it's a heavy machine gun, it doesn't provide sustained fire (the barrel is easy to heat up, and it's more troublesome to replace); Let's say it's a light machine gun, it can't be carried on attack (it's too heavy, twice as much as a Czech light machine gun).

A total of 2,500 of these experimental products were produced, half of which were given to Spain free of charge, and the rest were sold to China at a price that was not cheap. Due to the unsuccessful design, it was eliminated after only one year of production because the technology was too backward. And it was the Deg Galev (DP27/DP28) turntable light machine gun that eliminated it.

The turntable machine gun is a bit rough to make, far from being comparable to German weapons, but it is very practical. This gun has a simple structure, only 65 parts, and it is easy for recruits to get started with the operation (the structure of the Japanese crooked handle machine gun is complex, and ordinary soldiers can't shoot in bursts, so special training is required), and it can be used in almost any harsh environment, without careful maintenance, even if the muzzle of the gun enters the mud and other debris. This was of great significance in battle, and it was far more than the German-made weapons.

In addition, the DP light machine gun is very cheap, selling for only $220, while the Czech light machine gun, which is most commonly used by the national army, costs $300, and the Browning BAR1918 light machine gun in the US army costs $300. Although it is heavy and cannot replace the barrel, it uses a large 47-round cartridge disc with good fire continuity and good accuracy. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, in the Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Wuhan, this light machine gun played a huge role.

According to the recollections of the machine gunners of the Nationalist army who used the DP machine gun at that time, the performance of this machine gun was greatly superior to that of the Japanese crooked machine gun, especially in terms of firepower, it could effectively suppress the Japanese light machine gun, and won a certain advantage for the Nationalist army in the local area.

Hearing Zheng Weiguo casually talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the two machine guns, Director Wu said in surprise: "Brother Zheng, you are amazing!" I figured out the situation so clearly! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "You can't fight an unprepared battle!" ”

Director Wu also smiled and asked, "Did you bring the list?" The number can't be too much, and now the various departments are vying for popularity, but they want my brother's life! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "I brought it, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he handed him the list of supplies that had been prepared for him.

Director Wu looked at it and said curiously: "Is it just a little bit?" ”

The list included only four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 80 Dzhegalev (DP27/DP28) turntable light machine guns, more shells and bullets, and then 182 pairs of harnesses. Except for the harness, the rest is the share of a division, so Director Wu will feel that it is relatively small.

Zheng Weiguo explained: "The senator said that the general manager does not plan to ask for Russian goods this time, so it is our 33rd division's family. ”

Director Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it is a little bit like this, it will be easy to do, I will contact the logistics department as soon as possible, and strive to make a proper allocation before Brother Zheng leaves Shaanxi." ”

Zheng Weiguo was overjoyed and said, "That's great! Brother Wu, I heard that the Military Commission also imported a batch of German-caliber weapons? Can you reveal a thing or two? ”

Director Wu smiled and said, "Brother Zheng is really well-informed. I'll just say why you only need such a little bit to dare to wait for me here! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I don't have any news, these are all said by the senza." The audience felt that Russian-style weapons were stupid and coarse, not as fine as German-style weapons, and the caliber did not match, so they did not hesitate to give up Russian-style weapons and get more German-style weapons. ”

Director Wu said with some embarrassment: "The idea of the Senza is good, but this batch of weapons is more wolves and less meat, up and down, staring at all aspects, it is not easy to fight for it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Whether you can get it or not, you have to fight to know the way." ”

Director Wu teased: "What, Brother Zheng also wants to get a copy?" Now that supplies are in short supply, it's not easy to get two copies! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "It's because it's not easy that I want to ask Brother Wu for help!" Brother Wu, tell me, what kind of weapons are there in here? ”

Director Wu said: "There is a batch of 79 caliber rifles, three kinds of light machine guns, Czech, and Belgian, Czech-style heavy machine guns, and ...... cannons."

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the Czech heavy machine gun has arrived?" How many? "The Czech heavy machine gun, the ZB37, is the same brother as the ZB26 light machine gun. In terms of quality and performance, the ZB37 is probably the best heavy machine gun of the Second World War era.

Director Wu thought for a moment and said, "More than three hundred!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Forget about other weapons, you have to get some Cheerali light machine guns and Czech heavy machine guns!" ”

According to his plan, the Cheerari light machine gun was to be converted into an assault rifle, and the Czech heavy machine gun was excellent and could provide suppressive firepower for the troops.

Director Wu said: "Difficult! ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to take it!" It's a big deal to smash it with gold bars! ”

Director Wu shook his head and said, "It's a time of war, and gold bars are not necessarily good!" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wu is right! "Now there is a shortage of weapons in the ministries, and the Czech machine gun is very popular with the military, and it will not be easy to take it out of thin air. If you really want to commit public anger, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat and walk around. In this situation, the logistics department does not dare to go too far, and there are times when the strips are hot!

It didn't take long for the ordnance, logistics and other departments to suddenly have more rumors, saying that this Czech heavy machine gun was not easy to use, and it was not as good as the Type 24 heavy machine gun produced by the Jinling Arsenal. I don't know who first said it, anyway, it is spread that there are noses and eyes, some people don't believe in evil, and after trying it, I found that it really doesn't work.

It turned out that although the performance of this heavy machine gun was good, it had high requirements for the user, and it was very different from the Chinese Type 24 and 30 heavy machine guns at that time. Untrained soldiers can't even put on a chain. Coupled with the fact that people with intentions contributed to the fire and exaggerated it, the ZB37 was quickly hacked. Originally, the various ministries were vying for it, but now they are not so enthusiastic, and some people with active minds have begun to play the idea of domestic heavy machine guns again.

Director Wu secretly found Zheng Weiguo and said, "Brother Zheng, your trick is really good!" However, there is a shortage of weapons now, and no matter how bad the weapons are, there are people vying for them, and it is probably impossible to swallow them all. ”

Zheng Weiguo took out a small package and opened it to see that it was full of yellow gold bars. He pushed the package in front of Director Wu and said, "With a two-pronged approach, I don't believe that I can't take it!" ”
