"It's been overhauled, you should know by looking at the title."

After making the decision to go to Taiyuan, Huang He immediately began to pack his belongings and prepare to leave for the border airport.

Although the location of the Weapons Experiment and Research Bureau is relatively remote, the organization has specially arranged a special car for the bureau to reach the destination in only half an hour's journey.

The two talked on the road, and the atmosphere in the whole cab was very lively. Looking at Wang Dexing with a smirk on his face, Huang He couldn't help but joke:

"I haven't seen you so energetic in training, why are you so happy when I hear that I want to go back to Shanxi."

"Could it be that you still have a good relationship in the southeast base area of Jin? Do you want me to come forward to help you talk about matchmaking, and try to solve your life's problems. ”

Treating his subordinates, Huang He has always been very gentle.

As long as the other side does not violate the discipline of the troops, everything is negotiable.

As his own guard, Wang Dexing's efforts are in his eyes. In the past two years, not only has the cultural level improved by leaps and bounds, but also reached the level of graduating from high school.

He also mastered a variety of military skills, and even qualified to participate in the entrance examination of the 1st Marine Regiment after assault training.

Such an excellent young man, if he really loves a girl, Huang He doesn't mind taking the lead.

Facing the ridicule of the leader, Wang Dexing shook his head embarrassedly. He quickly diverted the subject, trying to hide his shyness.

"Don't make fun of me, I can take care of my own business."

"But when will you solve the lifelong event, Director, you are indeed inferior to Director Zeng in this regard, and they have quietly taken down an eighteen-year-old female student."

"Huh?"

Originally, it was just small talk, but I didn't expect to eat a big melon.

As soon as he thought of the thick eyebrows and big eyes, he actually fell in love secretly, and the Yellow River hated it so much.

The director had been married twice, and the first one was separated due to the war. When the two reunited, the other party had already remarried, so they could only be forced to cut off contact.

The second was a German girl, and they met in the north.

Although the relationship between the two is very good, and they have also entered the palace of marriage. However, due to the woman's reluctance to come to the difficult border area, she had no choice but to break up.

The third is the current one, and Huang He only knows the name and age of the other party.

The matter of going to Taiyuan is of course important, but it will take time for the transport planes of the 1st Air Force Division to prepare before they take off. Taking advantage of the time difference to go to the Military Industry Bureau, there is absolutely nothing to delay.

"Let's go! Let's go find Lao Zeng! ”

After making up his mind, the Yellow River immediately asked Wang Dexing to change course.

Half an hour later, the two came to the military industrial area. Since the truck had the logo of the Bureau of Weapons Experiments and Research, the guards did not stop it and let it go.

"Yo, Director Huang!"

"Do you have any official business today? If you want to find Director Zeng, go straight to the shooting range, where he experiments with new weapons. ”

According to the guidance of an acquaintance, Huang He took Wang Dexing to the indoor shooting range of the Military Industry Bureau, which was used to test new weapons with small and medium power.

"Smack×8!"

"Ding!"

"Oops, I'll go! It hurts me! ”

In an enclosed environment, the sound of gunfire and crisp metal is pleasant. Combined with the painful cry just now, Huang He had already guessed that the new weapon should be the M1 Garand rifle.

This thing is a good thing, although it has not been introduced in China for a long time, but it has already made a name for itself.

This weapon is not weaker than the standard rifle of the Eighth Route Army at this stage in terms of effective range, accuracy and lethality. Judging from all the paper, it is far crushing the 38 big cover that the devils are proud of.

On top of that, the Garand is a semi-automatic rifle.

Its extremely fast rate of fire allows it to suppress enemies several times its own with firepower on the battlefield.

However, the problem is that in the impression of Huang He, this rifle has just undergone a major revision, and it was not until last year that it was officially finalized as the final version.

According to the urine nature of the ugly country, it is certainly impossible to sell the most advanced weapons.

But now there is a finished product at the shooting range of the Military Industry Bureau, which is more or less unreal.

Perhaps, an early version?

Thinking of this, Huang He trotted directly to the shooting position. Then, with his hairstyle, he accurately locked the director in the crowd.

"Lao Zeng, where are you doing good things?"

"This gun should be Garand of the Ugly Country, do you have a plan to reverse the deduction?"

"Have you drawn the first draft of the design, I still have a lot of experience in the design of rifles, so I don't need to take the handle."

Hearing a familiar voice, Trader Qiang turned his head sharply in surprise.

I haven't seen him for a month, his hairline has become more dangerous, and I don't know if it's because of a relationship or a job.

"You're here at the right time, and we're having a technical problem."

"It seems that you also know this new semi-automatic rifle from the Ugly Country, so let's try to feel it with a magazine first."

After receiving the unfamiliar weapon, Huang He took a deep breath and carefully began to reload.

While Garand has many advantages, it is difficult to achieve perfection with any one weapon. It also has an obvious drawback, which is pinching your fingers!

Whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, as long as you use this gun, you may be hit.

This is due to the fact that the rifle will be in an empty compartment before the magazine is loaded. However, once the magazine is loaded, the re-entry spring is often used too hard, resulting in a very rapid re-entry of the gun.

If the user's hand speed is too slow at this time, there is a high probability that the finger will be bitten.

After mentally ready, Huang He pressed the clip down with his thumb while pressing the back of his palm against the pull handle.

As it turned out, his luck was not bad, and the tragedy did not happen.

After nearly two years of training, Huang He is no longer the rookie dog with poor marksmanship before.

He raised his rifle on the left side of his body against the target, and pulled the trigger after making sure that he was aiming.

After the eighth bullet was fired, the magazine was thrown with a ding.

At a distance of 50 meters, a total of seven of the eight bullets hit the target. For a non-combat sequence researcher, it's not a bad score.

"How's it going, isn't it much more fierce than the big bolt?"

"This Garand was turned out of the warehouse in Taiyuan, and it is estimated that the First Army captured the weapons of the Jin Sui Army."

"After all, in the whole of Shanxi, there are only a few elites in Yan Laoxi who have the means and the economic strength to purchase American-style equipment."

After hearing the director's words, Huang He briefly reminisced about the feeling of shooting just now, and made a horizontal comparison with the Japanese weapon, the magic weapon, and the Soviet weapon.

In terms of the feel of shooting alone, Garand may not be the best. However, it is related to personal usage habits, and a different person may have different feelings.

But if you compare the overall smoothness of the firearm, it must be the best semi-automatic rifle.

"Very good, if the troops can be equipped with this weapon, there will definitely be a qualitative leap in firepower."

"With our existing production equipment, we should be able to build a Garand production line. Bring me the drawings and let me see where you have come in your derivation. ”

The director didn't ink, and took the first draft drawings directly from the orderly on the side.

Due to lack of research time, the reverse engineering of the semi-automatic rifle was only a third of the way completed, and many of the main parts were not drawn.

It was only at this point that Huang He remembered that there was also a replacement within the Awakening Champion system. This can't be blamed for his carelessness, mainly because there are too many weapons that can be studied in the scientific research slot.

What's more, the decision to "focus on the development of light weapons" was unlocked a year ago.

The reason why semi-automatic rifles were not named at the first time was not because of the shortage of resources, but because new weapons require a certain cost of learning.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army had not yet broken the blockade of the Japanese army's cage policy, and there was simply not enough time for the soldiers to get used to a new weapon that they had never touched.

Moreover, at that time, the literacy campaign in the army was still ongoing, and the military skills of the grassroots soldiers were not solid enough.

If you want to learn the maintenance and use of a semi-automatic rifle, it can be slow to master and take a long time to learn.

But now the situation has changed, and the Eighth Route Army has plenty of time to regain Jin Province.

After two years of silent development, both the Military Industry Bureau of the border region and the logistics department in the southeast of Shanxi Province already have sufficient productivity, and there is not much pressure to replace semi-automatic rifles.

Moreover, the Hatch Chase heavy machine gun was less portable, and it would not be able to follow the infantry at full speed. With the combination of Mas36 + Fm24/29 alone, it is difficult to fully suppress the infantry of the devils.

At this time, a semi-automatic rifle that is easy to carry and has a higher level of firepower is more suitable for the troops.

The decision is yours! Mas44！

After returning the drawings to the director, Huang He showed an unfathomable expression, and then patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"Don't study Garand, that thing bullet is 7.62 mm, even if it is deduced backwards, the caliber will have to be changed. What's more, we don't have a production license, and we may be collected for debts at that time. ”

"In a few days, I'll give you a French semi-automatic rifle, which is not only common to bullets and some parts, but also has a higher level of performance, and even has a special grenade launcher and sight."

"The old rules, or a full set of production lines and drawings. At that time, the new equipment will trouble your Military Industry Bureau, and I have something to go to Shanxi to stay for a while. ”

Looking at the confused crossing strong, Huang raised his eyebrows and continued:

"I heard that you hooked up with an eighteen-year-old female student, so I don't have to be responsible for finding you a wife."

"I really didn't see that you still have this kind of ability, you are thirty-six years old, and you are twice as old as others. In the face of such a little girl who is not in the deep world, how can she do it. ”

"Remember to introduce me next time, bye."

After pretending to be forced, Huang He didn't say a word and pulled Wang Dexing and ran, leaving only the director in the wind.

······

Fifteen minutes later, the border airport.

Originally, Huang He wanted to go straight to President Chang's office, but the fighters, Hurricane fighters and busy ground crew on the tarmac made him realize that something big was happening.

Under normal circumstances, the airfields in the border area are only partially escorted by warplanes and air train transport aircraft.

Drive the fighters back now, and that means there's a big battle to come. Even the 1st Air Division needs to go all out to replace the old biplane fighters with more advanced Hurricanes.

With speculation, Huang He found Captain Wang Hai from a group of pilots who cooperated with the ground service. Immediately after, the two came to a corner where no one was around.

"Captain, does the Air Division have a mission?"

"I just saw that all the fighters are fully loaded with weapons, is it the army aviation of the Kwantung Army attacking Shanxi from the direction of Suiyuan?"

In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the entire North China Front Army was wiped out by the 1st Air Division.

From the strategic perspective of the Yellow River, the only enemy that can pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army is the Kwantung Army. After all, the other party was a force that confronted Zhukov before, and it was reasonable to have enough fighters.

After hearing the question, Captain Wang Hai did not answer immediately, but looked around to make sure that no one spoke.

"Director, have you forgotten what day it is?

As soon as these words came out, Huang He directly blurted out the words Children's Day, but he soon discovered the problem. It's 1941, and Children's Day is a holiday that wasn't established until eight years later.

"June 1st, June 1st? What's so special."

Before he could finish speaking, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Four days later, a major event will occur, which will later be called one of the three major tragedies in China during the Anti-Japanese War.

"I almost forgot about Yamashiri, I damn it."

"No wonder the 1st Air Force Division wants to dispatch the whole army, it turns out that the opponent this time is the Zero fighter of the HNA. Then please, you must stop the enemy in advance. ”

Captain Wang Hai nodded very seriously, and from his slightly whitish knuckles, it could be seen that the other party's heart was not calm.

"Don't worry, it's just some early models."

"In terms of the performance of the Spitfire MK9, it's definitely more than enough to deal with those lighters. Hurricanes may suffer slightly, but as long as they don't fight hard, they won't be left behind by taking advantage of numbers. ”

"This time, the tragedy will not happen."

During the Battle of Nakajo Mountain, the bald head once sent a telegram asking for help to the desperate war fox and the army morale master.

In exchange for sending troops, the bosses demanded that the Fruit send planes to send the ideological crusaders back to the border areas. This campaign was led and arranged by Zhou in mid-May.

In the past, neither the preserved fruit nor the border areas were able to stop the bombing of the Japanese army and navy.

After all, the former has dozens of anti-aircraft guns, and they are also distributed in various industrial zones and strategic locations. The latter is even more bitter haha, there is hardly any field air defense.

But now that the Eighth Route Army has the 1st Air Division, there is no reason not to destroy the enemy entrenched in Central China.

As a friendly army, the desperate war fox also specially sent a telegram on June 1 to report the details of the bald head's battle plan. No matter how you say it, you have to fly over other people's territory, and if you don't say hello, it's a provocation.

But the border completely ignored the bald head's protest, and replied in an extremely domineering tone:

"I'm just informing you, not negotiating. If you keep it, I won't interfere. If you can't hold it, we won't sit down and the people will be killed. ”

"Kind, hit me with anti-aircraft guns!"

In the future, I will follow the fate of the full attendance, and there will be no similar situation again, sorry.
