Chapter XXXI: Automatic Rifles

The stationing of the 1st Military Police Regiment of the Renqiu Barracks is a good thing for both the Cadet Brigade and the 1st Military Police Regiment. The contest between Zhang Dali and Shan Renxiong set the tone for the relationship between the two sides, and this directly led to a high enthusiasm for training among the officers and men of the two sides, and it was obvious that they both had the intention of comparing each other.

That night, Ouyang Yun returned to the barracks, saw an extra neat army in the camp, and asked Li Tieshu, "Are you here?" ”

Li Tieshu told the story of the martial arts competition with a smile, Ouyang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said, "Is there a reward for Zhang Dali?" ”

"Reward?"

"Of course it's going to be rewarded, and it's won glory for our cadet brigade!"

Li Tieshu touched his head: "It's just a competition between friendly forces, isn't the reward a disguised encouragement for everyone to fight and win?" If Zhang Zhen and the others know the truth, is there a suspicion that the villain is proud? ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Isn't it good to win a fight?" Don't you think this will increase everyone's enthusiasm for training? It's not okay to reward it secretly, but of course, at least let our soldiers know it. Prizes can be a little more special, like giving one of your signature pistols or something. ”

"My signature pistol, that's not going to be delivered to you, you're an 'anti-Japanese double', so let's decide. By the way, what about the steel plant? ”

"Yes, the quality of the steel is okay, there are a few workers who are very spiritual, and it will take me a few more weeks, and I can let go."

"I heard that General Zhang's team and the Japanese are in Tianjin, I don't know if there will be a war in Ludao."

"You can't fight, it's ......," Ouyang Yun said and suddenly laughed.

Li Tieshu looked at him in surprise and asked, "What is so happy?" ”

Ouyang Yun looked at the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the Military Police who were still training not far away, and said, "Isn't it stipulated in the Hemei Agreement that the national army cannot enter North China? This gendarmerie regiment is a national army, right? ”

Li Tieshu nodded: "It's still the elite of the national army." ”

"Do you say that Lao Jiang dares to start a war with the little devil now?"

"Don't dare, otherwise He Yingqin would not have signed the "Hemei Agreement."

"Then what do you mean by Lao Jiang sending a regiment of gendarmes to Renqiu at this time?"

"Maybe it's because of Renqiu's oil."

"The reason must be this, but the question is, can the little devil let him get his wish? Hehe, I can conclude that the main reason why Lao Jiang sent this elite army was to mix it with mud. Control the Cadet Brigade through the 1st Military Police Regiment, and then indirectly control Renqiu. If my guess is correct, in the next step, our Cadet Brigade may be used as a bargaining chip to get out of 29 independently, and you may have the opportunity to become a warlord. ”

Li Tieshu thought about it and felt that there was indeed this possibility, he smiled and said: "How could it be me, if there is really a warlord, it is also you." ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said: "Neither the Japanese nor the Nationalist Government will want me to occupy Renqiu, but if you do it, it will be different, but I don't know what Commander Song will do." But no matter what you say, Lao Jiang is destined to steal chickens and rice this time. ”

Outsiders don't know the real intention of the old Jiang of Lu Dao to send the first regiment of the military police to Renqiu, but the development of the current situation has confirmed Ouyang Yun's speculation, after the Nationalist Government, the Japanese Government and the 29th Army wrestled, the Cadet Brigade was indeed independent from the 29th Army and became an independent division, and Renqiu also became a "special economic zone" independent of the Yicha Political Committee.

At this time, more than three weeks had passed since the first regiment of the military police was stationed in Renqiu.

The establishment of the Yicha Political Committee was the result of the second compromise between the Nationalist Government and Japan. The day after the 1st Military Police Regiment entered Renqiu, Tu Feiyuan approached He Yingqin and issued a strongly worded protest, and in the afternoon of the same day, 15 planes were mobilized to spread a large number of leaflets demanding "autonomy in North China" over Pingjin. Then, on behalf of the North China Hoarding Army, Takahashi Tan proposed to Song Zheyuan the "North China Financial Emergency Defense Outline", demanding that the southern transportation of cash and silver be banned and that Zhang Zizhong be dismissed from his post, otherwise all the consequences of the Tianjin incident would be borne by the 29th Army. The next day, Nanjiro issued Operational Order No. 751, ordering the soldiers of the mixed independent brigade to Chenshan Pass, Gubeikou and other places, and to let the cruiser Qiuma and the destroyer Qingdao Won in Lushunkou sail to Dagukou in Tanggu, Tianjin, and sent two squadrons of fighters to take turns hovering over Beiping to show off their strength. At the same time, Japanese spies and gendarmes stationed in Peiping began to arrest anti-Japanese activists on a large scale.

For a while, the clouds of war were shrouded in Pingjin, and the people felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the war seemed to be about to break out.

Forced by the Japanese Yinwei, Song Zheyuan first made concessions and strictly ordered Zhang Zizhong to withdraw to the guard battalion; He Yingqin began negotiations with Tu Feiyuan with the help of British and American representatives, and the result was that the recognition of the autonomy of North China in exchange for the cancellation of military operations by the Japanese side and the release of the arrested people, the method of Song Zheyuan's application to slow down the fiat currency reform in North China, and the establishment of a separate special economic zone in Renqiu, where Japanese and British and American businessmen enjoyed the same treatment and could jointly participate in the development of Renqiu. On the selection of the commander of the Commander of the Cadre Independent Division and the Commander of the Independent Division of the Cadet Army, the Nationalist Government proposed that Zhang Zhen should be the chief of staff, and the 29th Army would of course support Ouyang Yun, but the Japanese did not know what Lu Dao thought, so they actually echoed the proposal of the 29th Army, and finally determined that Ouyang Yun was appointed Director of Qiu Jingsui and commander of the Cadet Division, Zhang Zhen was appointed Director of Discipline and Commander of the 1st Brigade, Ji Xingwen was appointed Chief of Staff and Commander of the 2nd Brigade, Li Tieshu was appointed deputy division commander and commander of the 3rd Brigade, and Guo Biao was appointed deputy chief of staff and commander of the Qiu Security Guard. Interestingly, Pan Yugui, whom Ouyang Yun hated the most, was also stuffed in by Song Zheyuan and the Japanese and took the position of deputy director of Jingsui.

Ouyang Yun's appointment was signed by the Executive Yuan and the Military Commission, and on the same day that the two letters of appointment were delivered to him at the same time, he went to Nanyuan to ask for a meeting with Song Zheyuan.

For such a result, Song Zheyuan's flesh hurt terribly, but the situation was stronger than people, and he had no choice but to meet Ouyang Yun with a smile.

No one knew Song Zheyuan's mood better than Ouyang Yun at this time, so as soon as they met, he showed his loyalty, saying that the shares of the 29th Army and the military seat in the Renqiu enterprise would not be less at all, and in addition, the armaments produced by the Second Ordnance Factory would also be given priority to the 38th Division stationed around Tianjin.

Song Zheyuan's most painful thing is actually this, listening to his assurance, his eyebrows and eyes stretched out a lot, and he encouraged: "Ouyang, Renqiu is now the territory of the apprentice division, which is conducive to you to let go of your work, you can do it well, I and all the officers and men of the 29th Army will stand behind you to support you." ”

Ouyang Yun nodded, thanked him solemnly, and then began to complain: "Junzao, what's going on?" Renqiu is our Chinese territory, why let the Japanese dictate it, that Pan Yugui is really the whole 'Japanese Friendship Economic Aid Group to China', what kind of economic aid group is clearly here to plunder our resources. ”

Pan Yugui is a puppet of the Japanese after all, Song Zheyuan can see his true face clearly at this time, and said with a smile: "Ouyang, you can sit in your current position, and you have to thank the Japanese for helping." In terms of economic construction, the Japanese are indeed stronger than us, and I have already inquired that those people in the economic aid group are indeed businessmen, and many of them have successful experience in setting up factories in Japan......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ouyang Yun: "Junzao, you know me, and you have always had an attitude towards the Japanese - you should be killed!" It's impossible for me to cooperate with the Japanese, hmph, that Tu Feiyuan was afraid that the Nationalist Government would control Renqiu's control of oil resources, so we picked up this bargain, where did he really want to help? Junzao, you know the way, they and Lao Chiang's people almost killed me in Hong Kong, but my life is big, and I am stunned that their wishful thinking has failed. ”

Song Zheyuan nodded and said, "You are right, if it weren't for the wrestling between the Japanese and Lao Jiang, we would not have taken advantage of this." Ouyang, I am relieved that the Xuebing Brigade and Ren Qiu will be handed over to you, but your temper needs to be changed, at present, our strength is too weak to defend North China, so at present, we should focus on patience and accumulation of strength, and for the Japanese, let's bear with it for the time being! ”

Ouyang Yun saw that he had re-used the title of us, and knew that he had recounted the cadet division into the ranks of the 29th Army, and smiled secretly in his heart, saying: "Thank you for the teachings of the military seat, with your support for me, I am much more confident." Then he turned around and shouted outside, "Adjutant Liu, bring things in." ”

Adjutant Liu is Liu Zheliang, he said yes and walked in with a cloth bag. Ouyang Yun turned the cloth bag, opened it, took out a rifle from it, handed it to Song Zheyuan, and said, "Military seat, take a look, this is the first automatic rifle developed by the Second Ordnance Industry Factory." ”

Song Zheyuan, the famous name of the automatic rifle, had heard of it, his eyes lit up when he heard this, he took it and looked at it carefully, and asked: "I heard that an automatic rifle can shoot continuously, how many times can this gun be fired with a single load?" ”

"Twenty times."

THIS GUN IS BASED ON THE G3A3 AUTOMATIC RIFLE OF THE FEDGER IN THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES, THE WHOLE GUN IS 1050MM LONG, THE EMPTY WEIGHT IS 4.5KG, THE USE OF 20 ROUND MAGAZINE, FOUR RIFLING WIRES WITH A RIGHT-HANDED WINDING DISTANCE OF 315MM, THE FIRING RANGE IS ABOUT 450M, AND THE RATE OF FIRE IS ABOUT 600 ROUNDS PER MINUTE. DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL GUN, THE CALIBER HAS BEEN EXPANDED, 7.92MM, THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE UNIVERSALITY OF AMMUNITION, SO THE SAME CALIBER AS THE CURRENT DOMESTIC ARMY IS USED.

Song Zheyuan figured out the performance parameters of this gun, and was pleasantly surprised, and said: "With such performance, when it comes to the battlefield, it means that the time for Japanese soldiers to fire one shot, we can fire five or six shots or even more." The more he talked, the happier he became, and finally completely forgot about the fact that the cadet division had become independent, and shouted that he would take credit for the cadet who developed this gun, and that he would make great contributions.

The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to move out this rifle on this trip was to dispel his vigilance, and when he saw that the goal was achieved, he asked him to name this gun at the moment.

Song Zheyuan thought about it seriously, and finally named it "Wei Qing", which was taken from the meaning of Wei Qing to resist foreign humiliation, and placed an order of 20,000 at one time-
