Xia Nan asked Lin Weiye: "The essentials of this pistol firing are the same as those of a spear, right?" ”

"There is no essential difference, except that the caliber is smaller, the barrel is shorter, and the range is shorter. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Weiye introduced, "The blueprint of this pistol is the last flintlock pistol in the United States, the famous M1836, 0.54 inch caliber, the barrel length is 216 mm, the whole gun is 356 mm long, and the whole gun weighs 1.2 kg. It adopts a fixed sheet front sight made of brass, and the door is notched. Although the sight is simple, the accuracy is not bad, the projectile dispersion accuracy is 8 mm when firing at 250 meters. The size of the flint is smaller than that of the Qionghai rifle, but it is enough to support the intensity of about 50 shots, and to be on the safe side, I recommend that you have a spare flint for 20 shots, of course, all this is still subject to Captain Huang's actual combat test. ”

Except for Xia Nan, everyone has become accustomed to a series of incomprehensible terms in Lin Weiye's mouth, such as Wen Tianshu, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it anyway, you just need to know that this is a short gun that is more flexible than the Qionghai rifle.

Xia Nan looked at the pistol over and over again, and said with a smile: "The spear has a name, and this short guy must have a name, right?" ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "Please give the boss a name!" ”

"Let's just use the previous naming scheme, let's call it Qionghai five-year pistol!" Xia Nan said as he handed the gun to Huang Mengjia, "This gun will be handed over to your special combat team for trial, and if there are any deficiencies, feedback to Master Lin." ”

Huang Mengjia took the pistol handed over by Xia Nan with bright eyes, skillfully opened the hammer, and then raised the gun with both hands to aim outside the door. It's a pity that this is the general's mansion, otherwise he would want to feel it with live ammunition now.

"Very good, with this thing, the special combat team is like a tiger with wings, not to mention anything else, the concealment has been greatly improved, what's the matter with carrying the iconic rifle of our Qiongzhou battalion?" Although Xia Nan is not worried that the special combat team will be found out pretending to be mountain bandits, he can't carry the Qionghai rifle into the city to be recognized at a glance - after all, it is not a blatant rebellion, and the show must be done in a full set.

With the blessing of the pistol, there is no problem on the side of Chengmai County. Xia Nan said: "With the garrison force of Chengmai County, basically no one can stop the hundred-person special combat team from doing anything when it gets in. As for Changhua County, after all, there is still a thousand households, and no matter how dilapidated the guard station is, there is always some ability to resist, so let's transfer a company from the first battalion and the second battalion, remember to have a lot of recruits, it is considered a real combat exercise, put on the hundreds of rattan armor we made before to try the effect, and bring a few mortars by the way. ”

"As for the commander of the operation...... Chengmai is naturally served by Huang Mengjia, and Wei Lianheng will go to Changhua, you are from the Wei Institute, and you are more familiar with the situation of the Wei Institute. ”

Huang Mengjia and Wei Lian crossed out to receive the order. The fate of the two county towns was thus decided.

Because they had to wait for enough pistols to equip the troops, the special combat team stayed in Lingao for the time being, while the two companies that went to Changhua set out on the second day.

Now the ship transporting personnel is no longer a simple small cargo ship made in Lingao, but a new cluster of 400 material Guangzhou ship, although it is not from the Bofu shipyard, but it is built by several time-honored shipyards in Guangzhou, which is very sturdy, has good seakeeping, and runs quite smoothly offshore.

Judging from the distance by land, Changhua is not close to Lingao, and it takes five or six days to walk day and night, but if you take the sea route, you will arrive in two or three days.

On the third day after going to sea, they arrived at the mouth of the Changhua River, and the troops landed from Wunigang.

Just like when Nan and Lin Weiye came to inspect the Shilu Iron Mine in the summer three years ago, the Changhua River in the dry season exposed the riverbed, and they were greeted only by the ruins of the abandoned village on the shore, and not a single figure could be seen. From a distance, you can see the city deep in the plain -- this is the county seat of Changhua.

Although Wei Lianheng has been staying in Qiongzhou and rarely goes to the prosperous cities in the interior, among the two places he has stayed in for a long time, Qiongshan County is the location of the capital city, and the densely populated and prosperous shops are much stronger than the rest of the prefectures and counties. Now I suddenly saw such a decaying county town, and I sighed. He even felt that taking two companies in Changhua County was too much, and one company was enough, not to mention that there was a big weapon of destruction -- mortar artillery.

After landing, the troops went straight to the county seat. The guards who were lazily basking in the sun at the city gate inadvertently saw a team coming from afar, everyone had firearms, and there were two things that seemed to be cannons and not cannons behind the team, and they were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran into the city gate, shouting as they ran: "Close the city gate, come thief!" ”

Wei Lianheng saw the movement at the city gate from afar, and didn't pay attention to him, and marched slowly by himself, and came to the city to line up, and the city gate was closed at this time.

The little banner in charge of guarding the city gate cautiously poked its head out of the battlement of the city wall and shouted, "Which is the hero down there?" If there is a shortage of water or food, I can report it to the officials. ”

Wei Lian raised his head and said to him: "We are the Qiongzhou battalion, I heard that there are pirates in your county, and we are here to suppress the thieves." ”

Xiaoqi was confused for a while, he heard that Qiongzhou Mansion had built a new Qiongzhou battalion, and the imperial court also appointed a new general, but what happened to this thief, the county is good, I haven't heard of pirates?

"What do you call this adult? Our county hasn't been hit by pirates, this must be a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding is not misunderstanding, you open the city gate and then talk."

On the city wall, the soldier next to him asked, "Head, can you open the city gate?" ”

Xiaoqi slapped him and scolded: "Are you stupid? Not to mention whether this is the real Qiongzhou camp, even if it is true, such a vigorous person is not good, who knows what he has in mind? Hurry up and report to the Lord of the Thousand Households and the county and let them decide. ”

The slapped soldier ran away with his head in his arms.

The other soldiers looked at the troops under the city and hesitated: "It is said that it is the Qiongzhou battalion, why are you wearing such a strange dress?" Isn't this the clothes of our Daming battalion soldiers? ”

Xiaoqi was also puzzled: "This short dress, except for the color is also red, I have never seen it, and the officials do not wear armor, they wear the same as ordinary soldiers." I don't have iron armor, so I can put on leather armor, what's the matter with these rattan baskets......"

A soldier from a well-known Li background explained: "Head, this is the common rattan armor of our Li people, when hunting in the mountains, the lord of the mountain will generally wear it, and others can't afford to wear it - such a set of armor costs a lot of tung oil soaking. ”

Xiaoqi scoffed: "Poor haha thing, this Qiongzhou battalion is still a battalion soldier, it's not too cold to wear, it's not as good as our guard." (To be continued.) )
