Speaking of this, the Minister of Social Affairs took out a German-made PPK pistol and two boxes of ammunition from the briefcase beside him, put it in front of Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, in addition to handing over Comrade Qingping's file today, I have one more thing to ask you, the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, for help. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Our Social Department is engaged in secret work, and the weapons we carry cannot be too large. At present, in addition to the captured Japanese pistols, our social department is equipped with Soviet-made combat pistols that have been reequipped by the troops, or some miscellaneous revolvers. The performance of Japanese pistols was too poor, and the power of the bullets was too small. Soviet-made combat pistols, in addition to being too large, are also somewhat excessively powerful. ”

"When the anti-special forces department arrested the Japanese puppet spies, it had already made many mistakes because of the problem of the pistol, and even led to the needless sacrifice of personnel. It wasn't that the southern pistol jammed, and it was shot first by the spies, which led to the sacrifice of comrades who should not have been sacrificed. ”

"Isn't it because the Soviet-style combat pistol I carried was too powerful, but the live mouth I wanted to keep turned into a killing. He even appeared in the house when the arrest sounded the warning, because of the ricocheting bomb that injured innocent people. At the same time, the shape of the Soviet-made pistol is also too large, and it is easy to reveal the identity of those who carry it on their bodies. ”

"Those miscellaneous revolvers have more than a dozen bullet calibers, and the amount of ammunition is too small, and some guns can't make up a hundred rounds. Except to scare people, it has almost no effect. With only a few bullets, he didn't even dare to shoot the target, for fear that the limited number of bullets would be exhausted and there would be no place to replenish them. ”

"After a long period of research with the Security Department of the Military Region, we finally wanted to ask the arsenal to help us manufacture a batch of pistols with moderate power, not very large shape, and the best accuracy is also good. After comparing a variety of pistols, we finally selected this German-made PPK 7.65 pistol. ”

"Short, lean, simple in structure, moderately powerful, and extremely accurate, hidden inside and outside the pocket, you can't see it at all. Although the penetrating power is slightly less, our comrades generally shoot at close range, which is not a disadvantage. The performance of this pistol is very suitable for our comrades on the secret front. ”

"But the number of such pistols in our hands is too small, and it can only be used by a small number of people who are engaged in the most secret work. Therefore, I hope that the Armament Department can help us to imitate a batch of miscellaneous pistols that were originally equipped for comrades on the secret front, especially the extremely unreliable southern-style pistols, as well as Soviet-style pistols with some excess power. ”

For this request, Yang Zhen did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while and said: "There is no problem with imitating this gun, but it takes a lot of time from reverse mapping to taking out products, as well as adjusting the production line of ammunition to producing qualified products." However, the use of guns in your social department is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. ”

"We don't have our own production line for seven, six, or five pistol cartridges, and we haven't produced such pistols that don't meet the needs of the battlefield. At present, middle and high-ranking cadres above the regimental level of the military region are equipped with guns, and they are generally German P38 military pistols obtained from the Soviet Union, or a large number of Browning pistols captured from the Japanese puppet army. ”

"The lower-level cadres are equipped with Browning 1935 pistols, and there is no special production of such small pistols for self-defense. In this way, in the warehouse of the logistics department of the military district, there is still a batch of German Sauer pistols that we got from the Soviet Union, as well as Mauser HSC pistols, Mauser 1934 pistols, and some finished products of this PPK pistol. ”

"This batch of self-defense pistols, which are not suitable for ground operations, was originally planned to be equipped with pilots and tank crews. However, considering that the power of the 7.65 pistol bullet was somewhat too small, and the number of P38 pistols obtained from the Soviet side was very large, which was enough to meet all needs, it was never issued. ”

"There were about 2,000 pistols in this batch, as well as more than 500 Browning series pistols copied by the Japanese, as well as original Browning pistols seized from the hands of the puppet Manchu officers and Japanese officers, all of which were allocated to the Ministry of Social Affairs. You guys swap out those miscellaneous pistols first. The excess is used as a reserve, and if the quantity is not enough, we are trying to find a way. ”

"When this pistol is copied, how about replacing it? As for this gun, you take it back first, we have the prototype firearm here. As for the imitation of this pistol, I will ask them to hurry up and do it, and ensure that a batch of pistols will be brought out to you on time and according to quality. ”

Yang Zhen happily agreed, which made the Minister of Social Affairs slightly stunned, and then nodded in agreement. After all, as a soldier of a big country with miscellaneous firearms, especially those engaged in anti-special work, he is no stranger to these world-famous brand pistols, and his own matching gun is a Mauser 1934 pistol.

He is still very familiar with these kinds of guns, and he knows that these guns are good guns, so he doesn't insist on them. But he didn't take the pistol that Yang Zhen pushed back, but said: "No. 1, the Equipment Department of the Military Region has this kind of gun, and I still know this." This gun is not for the armament department, it is for your brother and sister. ”

"Now that the Northeast has been completely liberated, the guards on your parents will be gradually removed. However, how many of the Japanese puppet spies have not yet been purged, including whether Chongqing's military commanders and central commanders will secretly make any moves, these are still uncertain factors. Her skills and marksmanship can make up for the lack of security forces. ”

"Wherever you put her, I suggest that you put her in the military district security department to put her in a name so that she can wear a weapon. If something happens, she'll be able to keep your parents safe in a short period of time. This gun was specially picked out by me and given to her to carry personally, and it can be regarded as a farewell gift for me, an old leader. ”

The suggestion of the Minister of Social Affairs made Yang Zhen slightly stunned, but he did not take this small and easy-to-carry PPK pistol. Instead, he resolutely pushed the gun back, and said lightly: "Brother, I have received your heart." But I still hope that my family, apart from me and Jicai, will not touch this thing until anyone touches it. ”

"Since she is married, it is better to take good care of her family and be a good wife and mother. These things should still be left to us men. If I, Yang Zhen, can't even protect my own family, how can I call him a man. If he Yang Jicai can't even protect his wife, he is not worthy of being a soldier. ”

Seeing that Yang Zhen rejected his kindness, knowing what the young number one in front of him was thinking, the Minister of Social Affairs did not persuade him. After pushing Yang Zhen back the gun, he put it back in the briefcase he was carrying. After talking with Yang Zhen about the anti-special work in the base area for a period of time in the future, he resigned.

Looking at the back of the Minister of Social Affairs, Yang Zhen, who was sitting in the chair, did nothing, but closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. For rejecting the suggestion of the Minister of Social Affairs, Yang Zhen has never regretted it. If you want to break some things, break them completely, don't do those things that are disconnected.

Judging from the fact that Yang Jicai's lover handed over the pistol without the slightest hesitation after Yuan Zhiruo talked to her. I'm afraid that in her heart, she doesn't want to return to the Ministry of Social Affairs. Whether you are determined or not has nothing to do with whether you want to make a second choice or not. Not everyone is willing to do the work of anti-special operations and intelligence gathering, which walks in the gray area all year round.

This kind of work is somewhat reluctant for a person with a somewhat weak personality. The fact that she joined the party and participated in underground work does not mean that she herself likes this kind of work. It's one thing to obey orders, but when there is an opportunity to choose a job, it doesn't mean that she will want to keep going.

Yang Zhen also hopes that his younger siblings, although they will be ordinary in the future, will still survive without wind and waves. There are too many rights and wrongs in the current Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security in a few years. It should be a lucky thing for her to quit now. This younger sibling, which Yang Zhen did not accept at first, was the only privilege he used for his family during his work in the Northeast.

However, this time with the Minister of Social Affairs, after a heart-to-heart conversation. His impression of this veteran who had made outstanding achievements on the anti-special front had greatly changed. After taking over as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, he was quite supportive of the social department's lukewarm attitude after the separation.

Of course, after the separation, he was not in charge of the Social Department, the Anti-Special Security Department in the army, and the Intelligence Department for intelligence. The main focus is on the military, and in addition to education and foreign negotiations, Yang Zhen, who is not involved in other work at all, has no way to talk about whether he supports or does not support it.

But after taking over as the first secretary, the situation is different. In accordance with the practice of the major strategic areas, the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs is accountable to the First Secretary. Whether or not he supports him is also directly related to whether or not the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs can be raised to a higher level. However, even if the Minister of Social Affairs does not make this trip today, the places that should be supported will still be fully supported.

After all, as China's largest industrial base, it is also the location of almost all heavy industry in the major strategic areas, at least for now. and the second economic construction plan, which has officially begun to be rolled out. In the Northeast, where the essence of China's industry is concentrated, the internal stability and security are directly related to whether the entire plan can be completed smoothly.

In addition to the top-secret military projects, which are directly under the responsibility of the Security Department of the Military Region Command. The Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security of the Northeast People's Government are responsible for all other anti-special and security tasks, and the Ministry of Social Affairs undertakes the most important anti-special affairs work.

Northeast China has always been a key area for Japanese infiltration, and I am afraid that no one but Tokyo will be able to find out how many spies the Japanese dispatched in Northeast China before the September 18 Incident. Even after the establishment of the puppet Manchurians, in order to suppress the so-called anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese activities, the Japanese also lurked or hid a large number of spies among the people.

Despite the continuous crackdown and strict prevention and control, the Japanese spy activities in the original North Manchurian base area have basically dropped to the point of negligibility. But if it is really a complete purge, I am afraid that no one dares to guarantee it. In South Manchuria, which was liberated after the liberation, the operation to purge the Japanese puppet spies was still in progress, and the activities of the Japanese puppet spies were still quite rampant.

On the fifth day of the liberation of Shenyang, a factory was set on fire and several machines were burned. At the tram terminal in Shenyang, more than a dozen trams were set on fire by spies at one time. Soldiers patrolling the city were also thrown grenades, causing a vicious incident in which three people were killed and two were seriously injured.

As for the whole of South Manchuria, there were even more incidents of shooting black guns at guards and soldiers, assassinating government workers and land reform workers who went to the countryside, and destroying roads, railways, and bridges. Even a 3,000-ton freighter in the Dalian shipyard was burned down in the dock by Japanese puppet spies when it was seized.

The Japanese puppet remnants carried out frequent activities and caused great losses. However, the anti-special work in South Manchuria as a whole was not carried out satisfactorily. Although the social minister mobilized the backbone of the Ministry of Social Affairs and personally sat in Shenyang City to direct the cleanup, the pace of progress was still relatively slow.
