Chapter 42 Giving Guns

Wang Maoru listened to the opinions and said: "Okay, let's change the weapon first, in fact, I have already purchased the weapon, and put it in the foreign company, it is an E1 rifle produced by the American EAT Arms Company, 77 caliber, ten rounds of magazine automatic feeding, but it needs to be manually unloaded." ”

Officer Liu Jian suddenly shouted: "Captain, is it the fire refining bead used by the model regiment?" ”

"Fire Refining Beads?" Wang Maoru said curiously, "What fire refining beads?" ”

Liu Jian immediately expressed his erudition to weapons, and said: "This fire refining bead refers to the American 77 rifle, also called the E1 rifle, and everyone also calls it the American 77. However, many people call it the Fire Refining Pearl, because this gun has continuous firepower, the recoil is small, the veteran can fire thirty shots a minute, and this gun is rarely jammed, and the whole gun exceeds any standard rifle of the Beiyang Army after the bayonet, and the model regiment highly respects this gun. Liu Jian said with great interest: "The last time I went to the model group to see my little fellow He Anding, I touched this gun, but I didn't expect that this time it was our turn to refine the pearl with fire, it's really good, it's great." He rubbed his hands together as he spoke, his eyebrows fluttering.

Wang Maoru nodded and said, "Indeed, it is the standard rifle of the model regiment, after the training tomorrow morning, everyone will hand over the old rifle and replace the E1 rifle." ”

"Okay," everyone applauded.

Wang Maoru said: "Although our garrison is to supervise the construction of the airfield in advance, and the places we pass through are basically occupied by the Beiyang Army, but also to prevent accidents, we should also strengthen our firepower." This Liu ...... Liu: What's coming from? ”

Liu Jian hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Subordinate Liu Jian, from Licheng, Shandong." ”

"Well, listening to you, you're familiar with weapons?"

Liu Jian immediately said: "If you want to say that I am not as good as others in terms of training or anything, and I am not as good as others in terms of culture, but when it comes to weapons, I know more than everyone." ”

Wang Maoru said: "Okay, with your self-confidence, I will next set up a Makqin heavy machine gun fire squad, and you are the squad leader of the fire squad." ”

Liu Jian opened his mouth wide in surprise, his tone trembled, and he said for a long time: "Okay...... Good...... Yes" saluted again before sitting down.

Wang Maoru said again: "When the army sets out, there must not only be a firepower squad, but also a reconnaissance squad, who wants to be the leader of the reconnaissance squad?" ”

Several officers looked at each other, thinking to themselves the reconnaissance squad, which is a bit hanging, and the reconnaissance unit has always been the most dangerous unit.

A white and handsome little officer immediately stood up and said, "Captain, I am willing to serve as the leader of the reconnaissance squad." ”

Wang Maoru thought about it carefully and said, "Your name is Gong ...... Palace ......"

"The small flag of the lowly palace." The officer said.

Wang Maoru asked: "Gong Xiaoqi, by the way, do you know how to ride a horse without jumping words."

Gong Xiaoqi said: "The lowly will ride a horse." ”

"Okay, you and your squad are now scouting squads, and the scouting squad has two horses, and all you have to do now is to make everyone in your squad know how to ride horses." Wang Maoru said.

After hearing this, the others had a liver ache, and they lost a lot, one person and two horses, which ...... What a treat.

As for the sappers and logistics, now everyone has no combat missions, the sappers and logistics are combined, and the rest of the soldiers wear many hats.

That night, Wang Maoru took out all the E1 rifles in the warehouse of the foreign bank, and these days the E1 rifles stored in Zài Yihe Foreign Bank have been bought one after another, all of which are sold to the landlord Lao Cai to take care of the family's home. It stands to reason that this gun should be very easy to sell, but the price of this gun for 150 yuan Yingyang has discouraged many landlords. Wang Maoru was a part-time instructor in the model regiment, and only then did he come to the business of model regimental standard rifles, although the cadets of the model regiment were full of this gun, but the 1,700 rifles cost 250,000 eagles, which was converted into 150,000 taels of silver, which made many people in the Ordnance Bureau of the War Department angry, and it was no wonder that there would be a move to give him small shoes later.

The next day, the whole army gathered after the morning defensive drill, and each squad leader took two soldiers to be responsible for collecting guns. Is it difficult to arrest people? I wanted to communicate with the people around me, but when I thought of the strict military discipline, I couldn't help but speak. After a while, after the gun was handed in, Wang Maoru stood on the rostrum and waved his hand, and an American Ford truck drove in backwards, and all the guards of the brigade commander stood on the car. These guards are all from Baoding, Hebei, tall and strong, full of martial arts, with a double-box cannon pinned to their bodies, and a ghost-headed knife behind their backs, looking murderous.

After the car stopped, Captain Ergen and several members of the guard took down the box from the truck, which was full of foreign characters, like ghost drawings.

Wang Maoru shouted on the rostrum: "Two months ago, I asked for hundreds of guns at the War Department, and the Ordnance Bureau gave us a single one that no one else used to hunt, I knew that my brothers were resentful, I advised everyone at that time, calm down, we will have good guns, and now, it is my turn to fulfill my promise." Next, our standard rifle is the E1 rifle, this gun also has a name, called Fire Refining Beads, and now, each class begins to teach guns from one class, one squad leader"

"To"

"Take your class, pick up the gun."

"Yes"

The case was opened, revealing the pure black lacquer characteristic of the E1 type, which smelled of gun oil, and was heavy in the hand, slightly heavier than the singles, along with the three-edged bayonet of the E1 rifle. After the 36 classes were all replaced, Wang Maoru shouted on the rostrum: "Bayonet"

The soldiers reacted mechanically and immediately put on their bayonets, and in the sun, the silver bayonets were erected and the guns flashed with a terrifying light, and everyone in the guns suddenly had a special feeling, as if they could destroy a qiē, they were really strong troops. Murderous, some people think, yes, it's murderous, this is murderous

Wang Maoru saluted and said: "You are very good, I am proud of you, my soldiers, I am proud of you, you are the best soldiers, you are the best soldiers in China, all the enemies who stand in front of you, tell me, what should you do?" ”

The soldiers raised their steel guns in their hands and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill" For a while, all the emotions were excited, including the cadets, also raised the command knives in their hands and shouted with the soldiers.

At the end of the gun ceremony, Wang Maoru asked Niu Delu if he could get sixty war horses, Niu Delu laughed and said that the old brother is confused, the war horse can be bought with money, but it is not a high-headed horse in the East, Mongolian horses are all there, Zhangjiakou, ten taels of silver and a Mongolian war horse, how much does it cost. Wang Maoru laughed and said that he had forgotten, so he sent Zhao Jiacheng to take Gong Xiaoqi's class to Zhangjiakou to buy horses. Then he came to Jardine Matheson, he and Jardine Matheson have business contacts, this time he came to buy five Maxim heavy machine guns, the comprador of the foreign company laughed and said that there are five Maxim, the price is not high, 20,000 Yingyang, but we have other new machine guns here to see. Wang Maoru asked what kind of gun, and the comprador laughed and said that it was a Hatch Chase machine gun, Wang Maoru was taken aback, there was actually a Hatch Chase machine gun here? Isn't the Hatch Chase machine gun a French active machine gun? The comprador laughed and said that as long as there is money, not to mention the machine guns in service, even uninstalled machine guns can be bought, and we Chinese say that money can make ghosts grind, and the same is true for foreign masters.
