Chapter 301: The send-off at Keelung Wharf
The security department of the Hantang Group was fully responsible for the security work of this operation, and they had made preparations in advance in terms of military equipment and personnel arrangements, and only waited for Guo Huaiyi's fleet to come here to suspend before making unified deployments.
In fact, Guo Huaiyi and other sailors in the crew had already been equipped with corresponding naval weapons, that is, the Ming version of the Type 49 waist knife.
At the beginning, this name was also said like this, because it was a combination of the advantages of the Yanling waist knife in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the advantages of traditional willow leaves. Actually, there are two kinds.
The Ming security team members had Type 1649 rifles, bayonets, and Type 1649 grenades, but Wu Hualong, Daru and other middle-level cadres of the Ming and indigenous security team members strongly demanded that they be equipped with waist knives, believing that it was indispensable on the battlefield.
The way they expressed their strong demands was to grind in front of Captain Wu Jianqiang, and there was no circumvention of Captain Sun Yu's intention here -- when they repeatedly made demands, they all said it in their daily lives, when they talked together about the experience of the Ming and the natives in rotation -- perhaps Wu Hualong and Daru instinctively felt that this Captain Wu Jianqiang was obviously better at talking than Captain Sun Yu, and people had a natural sense of closeness -
Captain Wu Jianqiang said: "Damn, you always think about hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat, I spend so much energy to train you, and equip you at such a large price, is it for you to cut against others?!" The operational thinking is more rigid than mine......"
Wu Hualong shouted aggrievedly: "On the boat, on the boat!" ”
At that time, Daru finally learned some simple Mandarin and exclaimed, "Bush, bush!" ”
The two of them always grind like this, but it also has a certain effect - Captain Wu Jianqiang and Captain Sun Yu discussed it, and felt that these two boys are really not for prestige, and the waist knife really has its role, compared with the bayonet, in some special occasions, such as naval battles, close combat is still very powerful - so he reported the relevant needs to the city of Gelanza, and proposed that when fighting in naval battles or special areas, the waist knife is really needed, but the number is not too much-
Before Director Lin of the Red Star Military Factory could say anything, a group of knife enthusiasts on the Internet began to come up with ideas, especially those who claimed to have played with knives when they were young, as if they had participated in the underworld.
At that time, Director Lin was also busy with his own design, so he didn't care about these things, let the people who like to worry about it get it by themselves, and then talk about it when the final shape is finalized.
Many enthusiasts first ruled out Western swords and Japanese swords, and then there was a dispute over lancets and wild goose knives, and it is not known what kind of mentality they had. It's a lot of noise anyway.
Many Western knives and Japanese knives were scoffed at by them, which can be seen that they are obviously not fans of the cartoon "Rhodes Island Wars", nor are they fans of the Western fantasy film "The Lord of the Rings", let alone watch Japanese comics - middle-aged people, they have probably only watched Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck at this age......
The lancet is the traditional knife type of Mingda 6, it is curved like a willow leaf, the narrow blade is long, the back is thick and the blade is thin, the whole is curved, the blade is narrower, and the tip is sharper. The blade is not equal in width, gradually narrowing from the root to the tip, light and flexible, and suitable for vigorous chopping.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the basic characteristics of the Yanling waist knife are that the blade is relatively straight, the tip of the knife is slightly upturned arc, and the tip of the knife is 15~2ocm at the back of the knife.
Its blade width is 4~m, the handle length is 15~2ocm, and the total weight of the knife is 1~1.5kg.
The difference between the Ming and Qing dynasties is that most of the blood grooves of the Yanling waist knife in the Ming Dynasty are one, and most of the Yanling waist knives in the Qing Dynasty have several blood grooves, and the shape of the blood groove is very complex.
The Yanling waist knife is fierce in battle, especially against Western swords and Japanese swords, and it is suitable for battlefield fighting. Compared to the Lancet, it weighs a little more.
The advantages and disadvantages of the lancet and the Yanling waist knife are distinct...... Everyone was happy for a while.
Director Li Ziqiang looked at it, looked at it and became annoyed, and said, "What are you fighting for?" Both systems are all on the top...... The ancients either made a soft and hard embedded steel structure, or a hard outer and soft steel clad steel structure, and made a heat treatment and quenching process still mysterious...... We have a horse hammer stamping, electric grinding and beating...... Red Star's own production of medium carbon steel plate can be done, and there is no need for heat treatment......"
There was silence on the Internet...... After a while, a technician said, "Isn't it popular science?" Isn't this popular science...... Anyway, a really good knife has to be handmade, right? ”
"55HRC is enough, right? I've heard that if a handmade product is added with a good quenching method, 62HRC can be achieved, so it takes a bit of work......"
Director Li Ziqiang said indifferently.
"Yes, this should be a private hobby...... Standard weapons are not very suitable. ”
In the end, both models of waist knives were machined...... Tested and found to be perfectly applicable to this plane...... As long as it is not cut against the best of this era, that is, the knives made under extremely accidental conditions...... It's already invincible...... It is a notch up from the previously processed sugarcane knives.
In addition to equipping the sailors with waist knives, the security department of the Hantang Group also has other arrangements.
Of course, they won't let these sailors, who are already proficient in handling soft sails, just set up their guns and carry waist knives to a messy Big 6 recruitment.
Who knows what kind of pattern this recruitment behavior will evolve into, or how it will complete the task...... Of course, acts such as robbing civilians will never happen, and this has long been made clear in the regulations.
After research, the security department of the Hantang Group decided to draw forty-three team members from the Mingren security team, and after being fully armed, Wu Hualong led the team to take these four red-haired plywood boats to go together.
Needless to say, in terms of weapons, all members are fully equipped for winter.
Cotton coats, cotton pants, cotton gloves, and cotton shoes are all available...... After the picture was posted on the Internet, someone said, "Damn, if they were not blue uniforms but yellow, the entire Japanese Kwantung Army would work......
The news was fed back to the Keelung training camp, Captain Wu Jianqiang didn't take it seriously, according to the standards of that world, this body is a little dirty, and it won't take much trouble to change it all to wool in the future...... Now I just want to be warm, in Wu Hualong's words...... It's okay to go to Liaodong with this outfit, and it's even more okay to go there in Shandong......
Wu Hualong has never understood well, does he need to go to Shandong to recruit workers in the winter? Is there a hurry to come back in the summer? Captain Wu Jianqiang could see his confusion, but he wouldn't explain it to him.
Ah, boy, let's do all the dirty work first...... It's better than you dying at the hands of the Dutch...... are all young, and it is a rare time to practice...... In the future, we will need to fight in the winter.
Winterization equipment on board is also available.
After cleaning up all kinds of soot, spread straw mats and all kinds of large quilts...... As long as you can keep warm.
The key is dietary needs, which is an important way to ensure calories.
The Hantang Group organized a part of the rations in advance, and calculated that according to 1,500 people, it could maintain at least 15oo kcal per day...... Cook it in a big pot, and with kelp soup, how can you stick to Keelung.
Keelung is now becoming the main place for the northern part of Taiwan to receive foreign population, especially for the northern region of Minda 6.
Of course, most of the supplies there still needed to come from the Tainan area...... If the Taipei Basin region wants to become a qualified supplier, it will take half a year......
After Guo Huaiyi's fleet arrived at the Keelung wharf, it first unloaded the goods and various supplies brought along the way.
In the office building in the dock area, the main leaders of the security department of Hantang Group assigned tasks to Guo Huaiyi and Wu Hualong...... The task is simple and straightforward, how many people can be recruited, and how much local information and information can be collected...... Protecting your own personal safety is the number one priority......
Guo Huaiyi and Wu Hualong haven't seen each other for many days, and the two of them met in Keelung, and the intimacy was ...... It's so touching that people almost hugged each other......
After listening to the task, Guo Huaiyi patted his chest and said: "My old Guo took this group of brothers north to Shandong, just like visiting the door, but there is a difference, my old Guo came to see him." ”
Wu Hualong snapped a military salute and said loudly: "You must complete the task!" ”
Wu Hualong's military salute was standard, and his voice was loud, which scared Guo Huaiyi...... Guo Huai said wholeheartedly, this is still his brother, and it has changed too much......
The remaining forty-three security personnel were carefully selected...... Most of them have been to the north.
Daru was angry that he didn't have the opportunity to participate in this operation, and he found the squadron leader Sun Yu and said, "Captain Sun, we are also members of the security team, and we have also sworn to the banner of the Hantang Group...... Why, why don't you let me wait and ......?"
Squadron Leader Sun Yu said, "You just learned to swim in the sea...... Is it possible to escape from the sea? ”
"Why, run for your life?"
"Do you understand that the enemy is lenient?"
"Yes, there are a hundred people in the enemy's stockade, and we will treat them as one hundred and twenty...... However, I have heard reports from the surrounding maritime powers, and no one can be stronger than us......"
"You can't say for sure, can you? But what if there is? Have you dealt with the dispute in the mountains last time? ”
"Just now, after dealing with it, those people are too uneducated...... One counts thirteen pheasants to twelve, and the other counts thirteen pheasants to fourteen...... Just fight for this ......"
"So, you almost died for a pheasant?!"
"For, for two."
"And how did you deal with it?"
"I asked them to send thirteen men, each carrying a pheasant, and then nodding their heads...... And they got it......"
“…… What about pheasants? ”
"They asked for too much, they just wanted to go to Geranza to sell it, I, I couldn't afford it at the time, so I only bought three and came back......"
"There are no pheasants in the cafeteria these days? It must be you and Wu Hualong who ate alone! ”
"No, I didn't eat alone...... On the way, I met the director of Han Lizi...... He bought them all......"
"Damn, you didn't say this is food in our barracks?!"
"I bought it with my own money, money......"
"Well, my three pheasants!!"
At the Keelung Wharf, in the low sound of military horns...... The banner of Hantang Group is slowly rising...... Captain Wu Jianqiang led the team, and the rest of the security team members also stood on the dock to see them off.
Captain Wu Jianqiang shouted at the time: "Salute to the teammates who are on a mission on the voyage!" ”
With a "snap", all the team members saluted with many students. Their movements were neat, and their voices seemed to drown out the salute of the send-off......
Guo Huaiyi's heart shook when he watched it on the boat...... Said loudly: "My old Guo will be like this......"
Wu Hualong stared at the gradually smaller dock, and it seemed that he could still see his teammates.
"No, big brother, your age is marked...... It's just that I'm too old......"
Guo Huaiyi was speechless for a while.
Thanks to the friends of the starting point, Zongheng Fat Horse 123 and Dahan Grass People for their support.
