Chapter 31: Unexpected Weapons

As the miner's light line moved, more sealed boxes came into our view. It's an arsenal! Why did the Japanese scrap so much weapons and equipment here? The boxes were all arranged in a linear pattern along the railway, apparently taken down from a certain train.

It's too much to use so many weapons against those bugs, and something else must have happened here. But the urgency of the situation does not allow us to think too much. Immediately Talia and I pried open a few nearby boxes with a sapper shovel, and when I looked at the weapons in these boxes, I thought I was back in the war-torn era.

I remembered that the meteorological research institute where I first settled was in Chongqing. At that time, Beiping fell, Nanjing was massacred, China's two major capitals since ancient times, even Fujian was invaded by the Japanese navy, and most of the entire territory of China was ravaged by the Japanese army.

At that time, Chongqing could be said to be the last center of China, and I will never forget the Japanese bombing day and night. At first, our air force would fight back bravely, but with the increase in attrition and the lack of new supplies for our air force, the Japanese planes became more and more unscrupulous in the sky, and finally completely occupied air supremacy. Before the Flying Tigers from the United States came to support, we were passively beaten for a long time, and the only life supply line from the Qinghai-Tibet High Plains was almost cut off.

The Japanese Zeros, no longer in escort duty, all swooped down and fired aimlessly at the street. The terrifying sound of "tigers, tigers, tigers" has almost become a nightmare for all Chongqing people, and the air defense sirens hardly go off for a day. This makes me very sensitive to red lights and sirens. So when I was at the power plant, I thought about the alarm, and I subconsciously thought that there was going to be a plane flying over

Later, I reacted, this is deep underground, can there be a plane flying? If there were really airplanes, eighty percent of the Japanese would be able to bring down an aircraft carrier! But judging from the developments that followed, I did get my prediction right.

Before coming to Chongqing, I was a soldier for a short time. Of course, I haven't really held a gun or fought devils, I'm just a helper for heavy machine guns and bullets

Even so, I still have a certain level of understanding of the weapons used by both sides at that time, but the price I paid was really shaking my head vigorously, trying to expel these meaningless sadness. The most important thing now is to confirm whether these antiques, which have been encapsulated for more than 20 years, can be used.

These boxes seem to be all kinds of machine guns, and I am very familiar with them, and I have used many of them myself. Of course, when practicing, no matter how much the national government **, will not let a child who has just reached the age of ten go to the battlefield to die.

Czech light machine gun, crooked handle, Type 92 heavy machine gun. The treasures were lying intact in sealed boxes filled with hay inside, and the Japanese had done a good job of maintaining them, and all the weapons were wrapped in oiled paper with three inner and outer three layers. The number of damaged weapons is small, and they can be used almost instantly. Because I used to work as an ammunition handman, the search for bullets was my job.

But when it comes to machine guns, these three were very famous in China 20 years ago. There are a lot of people who can't tell the difference between the Czech style and the crooked handle, and the two do look very similar.

There's also an interesting history here. The Czech light machine gun, the whole ZB-26 light machine gun, is a light machine gun developed by the Brno State Arsenal of Czechoslovakia in the twenties of the twentieth century.

In 1927, the Dagu Arsenal was the first to produce the Czech-style 79 light machine gun. Later it was manufactured in almost all arsenals.

What is speechless is that when the Nationalist Government originally sent to the Czech Republic to discuss the purchase of firearms, only 5,000 were planned, which led to the fact that we only got a set of templates for the ZB26 school gun.

Until the Ordnance Administration obtained a complete set of drawings of ZB26, the domestic production of ZB26 was produced by drawing drawings in reverse, and each arsenal had its own stove. This leads to an inevitable result: the parts of ZB26 produced by different factories cannot be used in common. And the quality is also uneven.

But this can not change the excellent performance of this weapon, I have indeed seen the superiority of this weapon on the battlefield several times, the heavy weapons and devils can be said to be worlds apart, a small number of heavy machine gun positions that are difficult to move, often at the beginning of the battle by the devil's infantry artillery, grenadiers concentrated attack, so completely silent

And the Czech, which is light and can quickly transfer positions, has become a magic weapon in the hands of Chinese soldiers. In actual combat, the Czechs had the upper hand in firing at the crooked machine guns equipped with the Japanese army, which is quite ironic.

If it is not certain that the light machine gun will be destroyed, the Japanese will generally suffer heavy casualties during the charge. Even the poorly equipped Czech light machine guns of the Eighth Route Army or the ** guerrillas behind enemy lines made the Japanese army very vigilant.

The ZB-26 light machine gun can use ordinary rifle cartridges, and ammunition is not a problem. When charging, it can even be as flat-ended as today's automatic rifles. For the squadron at that time, the ZB-26 light machine gun was a rare weapon for offense and defense, and it was simply a perfect weapon.

This thing is simply a gift from God to us now, the light gun body, farther than our Type 54 automatic rifle, stronger range and firepower, can be disassembled and exchanged at will, plus the general, a lot of bullets, a little use can become a nightmare for these bugs.

As for this crooked handle, the official name is the Taisho 11 light machine gun, which is a 6.5 mm caliber light machine gun used by Japan after World War I, also known as the "11-year light machine gun", and Japan was named after it was finalized as a standard equipment in 1922. Because its butt is bent to the right to facilitate aiming against the cheek, it is commonly known as the "crooked handle" machine gun in China.

In World War II, the Taisho 11 light machine gun exposed a large number of problems in use, and could not meet the needs of combat, and was replaced by the 96 type light machine gun that was finalized in 1936 and fed with 30 rounds. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Taisho 11 light machine gun equipped by the devils was also captured and used by the guerrillas behind enemy lines, but it was never used in the regular army, which shows that its quality is extremely poor.

It turned out to be a Japanese-occupied area, and it was not surprising that there would be such a weapon that was obsolete at the time, but I was not going to use this thing, the Czech style was much better than this Rauschzi.

The Type 92 is definitely a good thing, the Japanese Army in order to increase the lethality, the three-year heavy machine gun was improved, and the weight was as high as 63 kilograms further than the three-year heavy machine gun, because its rate of fire was very good, and the Allies gave it the nickname Woodpecker.

In short, with these things, we will turn over and become masters! I once heard Chen Zaihai say that in a certain colony in Africa, dozens of colonial policemen relied on two heavy machine guns to defeat 3,000 local indigenous rebels. It sounds a bit bloody, but now we're not in front of a living person, and there's no discussion about feeding these disgusting bugs with bullets!

"Chen Zaihai! You divide me into a few engineers, I'm going to put this thing up! "When I found enough ammunition, I immediately yelled at Chen Zaihai, who was stabbing bugs near the barbed wire.

The Ninety-Two is too heavy for me and Talia to get it. I had to concentrate on setting up and feeding the bombs, and I didn't have the energy to move it.

"Holy shit! Lao Su, have you found your ancestor? Can you turn this thing out? As soon as Chen Zaihai turned around, he saw the thick and pitch-black body of the Type 92.

I still have to sigh, this thing is so perfectly preserved! The shiny chamber of the gun, the crisp sound of the trigger, and the smooth trajectory of the bullet feed, eighty percent of this thing was shipped over shortly after it appeared, and it was not unsealed in the middle.

"Don't talk nonsense! Before I get this stuff done, you're going to use some to hold me off! "I casually picked up a few handfuls of the loaded Czechs and threw them to Chen Zaihai and them.

"What is this?" Chen Zaihai hurriedly caught it after cutting off a ground lice, "Damn, Lao Su!" Isn't this Czech! Hahaha! You little cubs, with this grandfather, will I still be afraid of you! ”

Chen Zaihai's father was originally an anti-Japanese veteran, and it was impossible for him not to be familiar with these old-fashioned weapons. As a matter of fact, after the founding of New China, many of our troops were still equipped with such weapons.

Chen Zaihai simply taught how to use this thing, the engineers are originally soldiers, and their understanding of weapons is very fast, and it didn't take long to get started.

The situation was gradually reversed by us, and with the Czech style, Chen Zaihai was like a little daughter-in-law who had returned to her parents' home. He didn't worry about wasting bullets at all, because I had just thrown three boxes of bullets at him with the gun.

He stepped on a sandbag with one foot, like the five heroes of Langya Mountain, condescendingly and wildly strafing downwards. The Czech rate of fire had a tremendous effect on the tunnels in such a road, and in an instant several lice were swept away.

The rest of the engineers also followed Chen Zaihai's example, climbed to the commanding heights near them, and held machine guns to deal with the invading enemy. Before the fortifications, which had been densely packed with bugs trying to crawl over, they were now almost all corpses.

Obviously, things didn't work out that way. Within the range of the miner's lamp, we still can't see the end of this sea of worms.

"Old Su, you'd better hurry up, how do I think there are more and more of these bugs!" Chen Zaihai's voice became labored again.

Indeed, as he said, even with the help of the Czechs, it only slowed down the momentum of these bugs. How can there be so many? Could it be that all the lice in this tunnel have come?

However, with the assistance of the engineers sent back by Chen Zaihai, I also began to assume that the last Type 92 was here. The line was lined with sandbags in a ring, apparently intended for heavy machine guns. I've got three of them, and the last one is reloading!

I immediately explained to the returning engineers how to operate this old thing, and they also understood it very quickly.

Next to each Type 92 is two people, one bomber and one machine gunner. Talia and I ran to the middle one, and the reaction of this thing was so strong that I was afraid that he would not be able to bear it as a woman, so I became a machine gunner myself.

After many years, once again hold this cold trigger. I felt like my whole heart was chilling
