Episode 152 Belated Automatic Rifle

Xiang Xiaoqiang has been wandering around the front line in Northeast Asia for a long time, which is very exciting, and several beautiful and confidants in Nanjing have also sent telegrams several times urging him to come back quickly, stop being greedy, and he will not command the war, and what to turn around outside. But on the one hand, Xiang Xiaoqiang is still very wild, and it is easy to go out, and he doesn't want to go back so soon, on the other hand, there are indeed some things that are not big or small, and he needs to take ideas and deal with them from Xiaoqiang.

This is mainly a non-military matter, involving the political level, and the local military commanders are not easy to make up their minds, so they must rely on Xiang Xiaoqiang to coordinate all aspects of Nanjing and deal with them more quickly. For example, the siege of Vladivostok and the problem of polluting the river water. This is the matter of the People's Guard, and now it is directly responsible for Xiaoqiang. This is certainly not easy for the purely military department to manage.

As the front continued to advance north and west, many concentration camps, or "labor camps" were found in the inaccessible forests and steppes. Some of these camps are farms, some are forestry farms, and some are mines. The work is mainly logging, mining and the like. The Soviet authorities imprisoned political prisoners and their families in these camps, where men and women were separated and slaved labored.

Sometimes the Soviet troops retreated more calmly, and they had time to take these political prisoners with them. Either they were dressed in military uniforms and joined the resistance against the Ming army, or they were forced to march with the troops in the dense forests, grasslands, and swamps. These people either died or fled and switched to the Ming army. More often than not, the Soviet army retreated quite hastily, or some Soviet officers and soldiers did not know that there was a labor camp in the defense area, so they threw the entire labor camp to the Ming army along with political prisoners.

With the discovery of these concentration camps, and the liberation of more and more tortured political prisoners, the Ming army realized that this was a good opportunity to write a big political article. And this kind of thing, naturally, he must come out to Xiaoqiang, introduce the situation to Nanjing, and even make some decisions directly on the spot.

But on the 20th, a telegram that seemed inconspicuous to others made Xiang Xiaoqiang "shocked", and he moved the idea of returning to Nanjing at that time.

This is a telegram sent by Wang Hexiang, director of the People's Guard's Uniform Training Department. Xiang Xiaoqiang opened it and caught the words "Qi Shunfa" at a glance. He was breathless, grabbed the newspaper with both hands, and eagerly looked down. Soon, Xiang Xiaoqiang's mouth opened:

"Ah...... Hahaha! ”

The fourteen grids next to him smiled:

"What's wrong? Qi Shunfa's submachine gun is a year late, why are you still so happy? ”

The telegram had been translated by Fourteen Gege, and of course she had already seen it. Xiang Xiaoqiang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but he still pointed to the message and smiled at her:

"Come on, come on, look at you, it's all said above, the transformation requirements I left for Qi Shunfa at the beginning, all met this time. The total weight of the whole gun is only 5.3 kg, most of the parts are stamping parts, the cost is low, and it can be interchanged, the caliber is still 7.62 mm, but the length of the bullet is shortened to 39 mm, the charge is reduced, the recoil is greatly reduced, and the continuous firing effect is also very good...... Also, guess how much the whole gun offered? ”

Fourteen Gege couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Well, I guess...... 185 Akeyo? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned:

"Huh? How can you guess so accurately? …… Yes? Oh, yes, yes...... Haha, this telegram is your translation...... Hahaha......"

Fourteen Gege smiled, but said in a rather skeptical tone:

"Xiaoqiang, 185 Mingyang, ten pounds of things, this is still good? The L-36 we use now is only a few dozen Mingyang, and it weighs only more than three kilograms. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Hehe, you don't understand this. Each has its own strengths. -36 That's a submachine gun, and I'll just follow the requirements of the submachine gun. The range is short and the accuracy is poor, but the weight is light and the cost is low. It's a different thing, we have to ask for it according to the standard of an automatic rifle. Although it is a little heavier and more expensive, it has high accuracy and long range. Hehe, I'm whispering to you, with this, the light machine gun is going to be eliminated. ”

Fourteen Gege frowned:

"There are general-purpose machine guns, and our light machine guns have not been eliminated?"

Wave your hand to Xiaoqiang:

"Alas...... I can't tell you for a while. What, the order, the convoy will drive back, back to Mudanjiang! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang is resolute, and when he gives an order, the efficiency is extremely high. The entire convoy immediately turned and headed southwest. After a day and a half of work, we returned to Mudanjiang Airport. On the afternoon of the 21st, the group took a transport plane and flew back to Changchun. That night, take the train back to Kannai.

On the morning of the 23rd, Xiang Xiaoqiang and his entourage got off the bus in Beijing, changed to a plane, and flew back to Nanjing in the afternoon of the same day.

The reason why Xiang Xiaoqiang went home so neatly was because he trusted Wang Hexiang very much. Wang Hexiang said in the telegram that after Qi Shunfa sent the sample gun, he did not send a telegram immediately, but took the expert group of the Armament and Training Department to the shooting range to personally test the gun, and then went to the experimental factory of the General Administration of Military Industry to disassemble and inspect every part of the gun, and carried out rough operation experiments, and carefully checked the battlefield reliability of the guns and every promise made by the Qi Shunfa factory. Wang Hexiang also tried the gun with his own hands, and it felt really good. Only then did this send a telegram to Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Fourteen Gege is really good at intelligence, and she only knows how to use weapons, and she is not as obsessed with it as a man. For the significance of a new weapon, she didn't have such a deep understanding of Xiaoqiang and Wang Hexiang. Needless to say, Xiang Xiaoqiang, as a traverser, has an innate advantage in this regard. And Wang Hexiang is not ambiguous. After all, the old man was an expert in weapons, and he quickly saw what this "automatic rifle" could bring to the battlefield.

Although Fourteen Gege is not good at weapons, she has her own place. On the plane back to Nanjing, she warned Xiang Xiaoqiang: If this gun is really that important, then it is best not to go to the test site as soon as you go back, let alone go to Qi Shunfa immediately. You should first rest in Nanjing for two days, be busy with other things, and then meet these weapons experts in a low-key manner in a few days. In short, it can't be seen that he came all the way back for this gun.

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought it was true, and he was even more impressed by the mind and intelligence of the fourteen grids. He listened to the advice of 14 Gege, and after returning to Nanjing, he never mentioned meeting with Qi Shunfa's representatives, let alone going to the test site. He also explained to Wang Hexiang, so Wang Hexiang also knew it, and he pretended to be nothing.

Xiang Xiaoqiang first rushed into the headquarters, reported to Tang Yunsheng the first-hand situation on the front line for so many days, and then actively participated in the planning of military operations. In addition, in the first few nights of returning to Nanjing, he was even more empty at night, first taking turns to "be lucky" with Qiuqiu and Xiuxiu, and then went to the palace to find Zhu Yourong for a date, and went to Yanping Wangfu to find Zheng Yuxuan for a date...... It really took a few days before the moon.

On the 28th, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt that it was almost over. The matter at hand has been almost dealt with, and it is time to "idle". So, he "remembered" Qi Shunfa and wanted to go to the shooting range to "relax".

Wang Hexiang is waiting for this sentence. The old man has also been very uncomfortable these days, and his heart said how can you be more calm than me, an old man. Don't look for the girls every night and leave them behind. Now it's so easy, he sent a message to Xiaoqiang, Wang Hexiang hurriedly arranged, and drove to the shooting range of the People's Guard barracks outside the city with Xiang Xiaoqiang. And Qi Shunfa's designers, company representatives and several other people are also waiting there.

Xiang Xiaoqiang jumped out of the car and immediately couldn't wait to see the sample gun first. He wanted to touch the belated automatic rifle so much.
