Chapter 16 Oiled Paper Packets
In 1804, a French chef first invented canning, and then in 1862, the discovery of French scientist Pasteur brought canning up to sterile standards.
It can be said that canned food is something that was invented by the French and then perfected by the French.
As the birthplace of canned food, France has a wide variety of canned food, which is fully nutritious, and has become the standard supply of the French army as early as the Napoleonic era.
What was sent to Qin Zhiyuan included canned beef, canned soybeans, canned peaches and canned mushroom sauce.
"Eat quickly, don't eat too much, and don't drink too much milk, it will cause stomach discomfort when you run for a while." Qin Zhiyuan commanded, and then came to the captain's side.
"Mr. Captain, what is the size of our mission?" Now is not the time to be angry, since you can't escape the effort, you must make a good impression on people, and you can't do thankless things.
"100 boxes of ammunition, 150 boxes of grenades, and forty boxes of food, and two boxes of first aid kits." The captain seemed to have a good impression of Qin Zhiyuan, and called someone to bring over a military map: "Look here, can you understand it?" ”
After getting Qin Zhiyuan's affirmation, the captain continued to introduce: "We are here, Kapi, to send these supplies to the position five kilometers away, we have captured the first line of defense of the Germans, and now our position is the first line of defense of the Germans in the past, so there is a minefield arranged by the Germans on the road, but you don't have to worry, the avant-garde troops have opened a passage, as long as you follow the passage, there should be no problem." You have to pay attention to the planes, there may be German planes bombing in the sky, and you should be careful to avoid at that time. And the Germans, the Germans are very complicated, these have dug a full 40 meters down, and there may be some underground passages that we have not discovered, so you may encounter small groups of Germans on the way. But don't panic, as soon as we find a German, we'll come to your rescue. ”
By the time you show up, the daylilies are cold. Qin Zhiyuan couldn't put his hope on the French, so he made a new request: "Since it is possible to encounter the German troops, then we need weapons, at least until you arrive, we can have the strength to protect ourselves, and I need to take a longer time to urgently train my companions, they have not used weapons before, and may not use them." ”
"How long do you need to train, three months? I can't give you that much, the soldiers at the front can't wait that long. The captain refused Qin Zhiyuan's request, and he was impatient, it seemed that he thought that Qin Zhiyuan was deliberately evading.
"It won't take that long, two hours should be about the same." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want it that long, three months later, in December, the Battle of the Somme had been fought.
Two hours is still sufficient, at least to allow everyone to rest a little longer.
"What can you do in an hour? I don't think in an hour you can train them into qualified soldiers. The captain's face softened, but he still didn't agree with Qin Zhiyuan's request.
"They don't need to be trained to be qualified soldiers, as long as they can shoot, it doesn't matter if they shoot accurately or not, the important thing is to be able to fire the gun when we meet the Germans, and it is enough to tell the Germans that we have the ability to resist." This is Qin Zhiyuan's plan, he didn't think about training all Chinese workers into Rambo in an hour, as long as he could shoot and scare people.
"Well, I'll give you another hour, and in an hour, I hope you've done all your preparations." The captain agreed to Qin Zhiyuan's request, but only gave him an hour.
"Well, there is only one problem, weapons, and we need weapons." Qin Zhiyuan grabbed the captain who turned around and wanted to leave, and put forward the most important request.
"I don't have any extra weapons for you, if you need them, look for them yourself, and if you can't find them, take your shovels on your shoulders." The captain even rolled his eyes, weapons are all a turnip and a pit, there is no superfluity, even if there is a superfluity, it is all in the railway station square in Amiens, and it has not yet been delivered to Kapi.
"Over there." Qin Zhiyuan pointed in the direction next to the ammunition pile, and at the same time, the two gold coins slipped silently into the captain's hand, which the Chinese workers got from the sailors, and Qin Zhiyuan deliberately changed a few, just waiting for this time to be used.
There is a big pile of weapons there, and there are many weapons stacked in a messy manner, Qin Zhiyuan has noticed just now, G98, 98A, MG08, etc., all of which are German standard equipment, and it seems that they were captured by the French army in the battle some time ago.
"Uh-huh......" The captain peeked at the gold coin in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then became pleasant: "Go ahead, take whatever you want, the bullets are also over there, don't take too much, it will affect your actions." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Captain." After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and greeted the Chinese workers who had finished eating.
There are a total of 230 Chinese workers who came to Kapi with Qin Zhiyuan, of which about 70 have practiced martial arts, and these people are the main force that Qin Zhiyuan wants to teach.
According to Qin Zhiyuan's request, the laborers all went out and brought more than 100 rifles 98A rifles, that is, carbines with short barrels, more than a dozen boxes of ammunition, and more than 30 box guns.
The box gun, also known as the Twenty Shots, the Barge Gun, and so on, was it anyway, and this gun was so ugly and lovely that the German army was reluctant to use it. Qin Zhiyuan They are lucky, probably because there is no better replacement now, the German army is partially equipped, and all of them are cheaper than Qin Zhiyuan. It's a pity that there are too few bullets, and each gun only has a bullet of about a magazine.
Qin Zhiyuan already had the M1911 himself, so he first distributed the pistol, and then picked up a 98B rifle and began to introduce: "Mauser Type 98A rifle, with a length of 1.1 meters, a downward curved pull handle, limited time, I only teach how to use it, as long as it can be fired." ”
After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he began to explain, from loading to aiming, and then casually shot a German M1915 Prussian military helmet abandoned on the lawn, and the distance of the military helmet was about 100 meters.
"Beautiful!"
"Not bad!"
"Well done!"
Listening to Qin Zhiyuan's explanation, not only the Chinese workers, but also several French soldiers were also watching the excitement, seeing that Qin Zhiyuan really hit a shot, they applauded and exchanged good hands.
At a distance of 100 meters, hitting a helmet is not difficult, and many people in the army can do it, but it is still rare to raise his hand like Qin Zhiyuan and almost not aim. If you want to practice so accurately, it is simply impossible not to shoot one or two thousand bullets.
"I'll try it too......" Chen Kangjian can't see others in the limelight, and he jumps out to join in the fun when he sees the opportunity.
The sound of the gunfire was crisp and the echo was loud.
Surprisingly, Chen Kangjian actually hit.
"Not bad!" Qin Zhiyuan praised verbally.
"That's right, we've practiced before, although we haven't played this 98A, we've also played Mauser." Chen Kangjian was complacent.
Long before the First Sino-Japanese War, German businessmen bought the 1888 Commission-style rifle to China, and gave it the title of "Mauser" rifle, which later became the "old sleeve". In fact, this kind of gun has nothing to do with Mauser's half a dime, it is purely the hillbillies of the German profiteers and the Mongolian Qing Empire.
