Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Within the next half hour, Huang He's study was filled with voices discussing the domestic and international situation. Even Captain Li would add a few words from time to time, but his views were a bit radical.

However, Huang He and the brigade commander understand each other very well. After all, one of them is from the Dabie Mountains and the other is a high-ranking member of our army. Considering what Baldhead did in that area of ​​the Dabie Mountains, who wouldn't hate him?

"In my opinion, the little devils are already grasshoppers after the fall. Don't look at their claws and teeth now. According to my experience, they don't have much chance to jump around."

"In the past, our Eighth Route Army was so poor that we could fight them back and forth. Now we have French equipment and will have artillery in the near future. Sooner or later these idiots will be pushed into the sea."

"Everyone here is the most important person to me, Li Yunlong. I won't talk about the situation. Sooner or later, our Eighth Route Army will have to fight the bald man with real swords and guns."

After hearing these words, both the brigade commander and Huang He turned their heads, showing interesting expressions.

The two of them looked at Li Yunlong together, waiting for what he would say next.

It's a pity that Lao Li still failed to live up to their expectations. Many of what Zhao Gang said just now were said by Zhao Gang before, and he had already finished the part that he understood.

Looking at Captain Li who was hesitating and almost blushing, the brigade commander smiled and shook his head, and then took out two more letters from his shirt pocket.

"Okay, you know how to learn from me. It doesn't matter if you can't explain it now. You can keep up the good work in the future!"

"Both of you, come here and take a look at these telegrams. I copied them from the division headquarters. The news this time is quite interesting. I think Baldhead will be furious when he finds out."

"We just talked about such a serious topic, let's relax now."

The content of this telegram has no formal word order and no uncommon words. With the level of Li Datuan, who graduated from the Republic of China primary school, he is fully capable of independent reading.

The first letter was sent directly by the commander of the First Theater Command to the rear through a high-power radio station on August 24. It was to inform them that the theater was preparing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the Hundred Regiment Campaign.

"The stubborn bandits are increasing their troops one after another in an attempt to sweep across North China and cut off our northwest international transportation.

My brother mobilized a powerful force to attack him head-on and smashed his conspiracy. I am deeply grateful to him. In addition to having ordered all ministries to move quickly to cooperate with your troops in combat and complete my brother's plan to annihilate the enemy, I would like to send you this reply. "

The second letter was still sent by the commander of the first theater, but it was sent two days later on August 26, and was sent directly to the commander-in-chief by name.

"Your department launched a hundred-regiment battle, not only to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, but also to give spiritual encouragement to the friendly forces.

Our department cooperated with your group's army and began to attack the stubborn local enemies on the 26th. In addition to stepping up actions to contain the situation, I respectfully reply. "

After the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War ended, respectable people from all over the country sent congratulatory messages.

But there are not many people who sincerely congratulate the victory of the war. Most of them are like bald people. They have to congratulate because of public opinion and justice. In fact, they feel as uncomfortable as eating dead flies.

There are even fewer generals who are willing to actively cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in operations, but the commander of the First Theater is one of them.

Since he joined the army, he has been implementing his original philosophy, which is to protect his family and country at all costs.

During his tenure in Yu Province, he had close contacts with the Eighth Route Army and even had a special office in Dongdu. Every time our top military officials came to visit, this man would warmly receive them.

So many people said that he had a tendency to turn left, and even Boss Dai had to come to Dongdu in person to collect the so-called evidence that the commander had betrayed the preserved fruit.

In terms of military capabilities, this person is much stronger than Holy Iron Wall Hu and Pig General Liu. He carefully deployed his defenses and set up a backwater formation in Zhongtiao Mountain to protect the mother river and protect North China.

In the endless Nakajo Mountains, many fortifications were built using rocks.

From the beginning of all-out war in 1937 to now, it has been defended for four years. Blocking several Japanese attacks, Xiaori did not advance at all and almost prevented the enemy from touching Yubei.

Some people even think that the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line was the Maginot of the Republic of China.

"How unlucky."

Moreover, the commander understood the righteousness well, and he was very repulsive to the bald man's certain pig-to-pig policies.

When friction experts asked him for help in the first half of this year, he simply refused to issue a rescue order. And after the incident, he still distributed pay and equipment to the Eighth Route Army, and even kept in touch with the commander-in-chief to avoid friction.

After the Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiment Campaign, the First Theater Department responded promptly.

The Central Army in Jinan and Zhongtiao Mountain actively cooperated with the Eighth Route Army's attack operations and successfully contained Shinozuka Yoshio's main division.

Starting from August 24th, they blocked the Japanese reinforcements near Jincheng, and for a time they achieved considerable gains.

After the 26th, the First War Zone even took the initiative to attack strongholds near Jincheng and Boai. Not only did it destroy several major lines of communication, but it also cut off the Japanese supplies.

Even though the scale and frequency of these battles were not as good as those of the three main forces of the Eighth Route Army, they still had a considerable impact on the Japanese. They did not leave the battlefield until the 28th.

After reading these two letters, Huang He was filled with emotion.

Rather than having a large area of ​​land occupied by the Japanese, Baldhead was more afraid of letting the Eighth Route Army take advantage. With this kind of intensity to cooperate with the Hundred Regiment War, even the Five Tiger Generals would have to be removed from their posts.

Li Yunlong also knew these skills. Although he did not like any generals who were brave, he still admired such soldiers who dared to fight.

"I guess the commander of the first theater needs to be replaced. I wonder what Baldhead is planning to send to Zhongtiao Mountain to defend."

"Old Huang, it's great to have you, otherwise we wouldn't even have the last bit of military pay."

————————————

After the small talk, the three of them set off from the laboratory together and headed to the logistics department's special shooting range for new weapons.

Starting from the second day after the production line was implemented, the MAS-38 submachine gun was produced one after another by the comrades in the arsenal. Everyone was full of expectations for this compact single-person melee weapon.

Only half a day later, the Military Industrial Zone mastered the technological process of the Hotchkiss M1914 heavy machine gun. After all, everyone has the foundation to shoot the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and weapons from the same origin and sect are not unfamiliar.

After the three people arrived at the shooting range, they saw several gun test shooters.

In order to ensure that every firearm sent to the army is of high quality, this new profession was born under Huang He's suggestion.

These gun testers are often held by gun repairmen in their thirties, and their main job is to test the quality of weapons by shooting.

With the current efficiency of the logistics department in producing bullets, there is no need to worry about running out of ammunition.

The requirements for this job are not low either.

One needs to be physically strong and able to withstand the impact of continuous shooting on the body.

Second, you need to have a certain understanding of various types of firearms, so that you can propose improvement plans based on the characteristics of a certain weapon and strive to improve the quality of the weapon.

For example, the batch of MAS-36 produced by the Logistics Department some time ago. The gun test shooters sampled 24 guns and fired 5,000 rounds each.

Not only did the reliability of the firearms be tested through samples of 120,000 bullets. Targeted improvements have also been made based on conditions such as jammed bullets, stuck shells, unextracted shells, empty chambers, cracked hammer springs and cracked machine handles.

Under the guidance of the gun test shooter, the three came to a less crowded area. Hearing the gunfire one after another in the shooting range, Captain Li suddenly felt his blood boiling.

For him, the attraction of new weapons is greater than marrying a wife, and the smell of gunpowder smoke is far more powerful than the fragrance of a woman.

Looking at the anxious Li Yunlong, the brigade commander held his forehead and waved his hand helplessly, signaling him to stop holding back.

After getting approval, Lao Li walked to a free shooting position. Then he opened the weapon box at his feet and pulled out a MAS-38 from it.

As a veteran who has crossed snowy mountains and walked through grasslands, he is no stranger to weapons such as portable machine guns.

However, the length of both the Thomson and the flower mechanism exceeds 800mm, and the MAS-38, which is only 635mm and weighs less than 3 kilograms, is like a toy.

Li Yunlong carefully looked at the submachine gun in his hand, exploring it gently as if he were stroking his little wife. His facial expressions and eyes revealed strong interest and satisfaction.

Even the brigade commander on the side had shining eyes, staring intently at the slightly worn MAS-38.

"Our Lao Li opened his eyes today. I completely understand why this thing is called a submachine gun."

"This thing can burst, and its weight and size have advantages over light machine guns. It is really suitable for commandos to use when charging."

As if he imagined himself leading three guards into the battle, Commander Li showed his big white teeth and couldn't help but look silly and happy.

At this moment, a gun test shooter more than ten meters away fired a burst of fire.

When Lao Li heard the news, he felt itchy and immediately opened the ammunition box on the side and grabbed a handful of yellow-orange bullets. Then he picked up the magazine on the table and pressed the 7.65mm bullets into the magazine one by one.

In a moment, all thirty-two bullets were loaded and inserted into the submachine gun with a click.

After getting ready, Li Yunlong put the gun on his shoulder and placed his right hand on his chest with his fingers ready to fire. Hold the butt of the gun close to your shoulder, muzzle slightly downward, and look straight ahead.

He posed in a low posture, ready to shoot, and had a good posture.

"Brigadier, Lao Huang, I won't be polite to you guys anymore, I'm showing my shame!"

After finishing speaking, Commander Li took a few steps forward with his gun in hand.

Then spread your legs and take a small step forward with your left foot, straighten your right foot to lock the bend of your knee, and keep your body's center of gravity leaning forward.

Keep the butt of the gun close to the inside of the shoulder joint, hold the handle of the gun tightly with your right hand and press the butt of the gun against the inside of the shoulder joint. The head is slightly tilted to the right, and the right eye coincides with the aiming line.

As someone who has used Jin Thomson and flower traps, Lao Li avoided beginners' mistakes.

He did not hold the submachine gun's magazine directly with his left hand, which would make the muzzle pointing unstable. Instead, he stuck his index finger between the bottom plate of the magazine compartment and the barrel.

After making all preparations for shooting, Li Yunlong pointed his gun at the human-shaped gun target in front of him and pulled the trigger, but there was no movement at all from the gun in his hand.

This embarrassing scene really made Lao Li anxious.

His right hand was on the grip, and his left hand was constantly groping for the gun. I even pulled the speed switch several times, but the trigger still didn't respond.

Li Yunlong looked at the two people behind him sheepishly, and he faced Huang He's teasing gaze.

"Hehe, this is not the first time for us to use a new guy and we have no experience. Please stop torturing me and quickly tell me how to use this gun."

In fact, it is not the fault of Captain Li. After all, in his inherent impression, French weapons are most likely to have no safety. Moreover, the safety of MAS-38 is somewhat anti-human, and it is understandable that he can't use it for the first time.

Huang He walked over, took the submachine gun handed over by the other party, and then pushed the trigger forward with his finger to turn off the safety.

He adjusted the center of gravity slightly forward and placed the butt under the armpit of his right hand. The forearms of both hands were roughly 30 degrees from the horizontal line, and the right eye was on the same vertical plane as the submachine gun aiming line.

Da! ×32

As the submachine gun bullets were fired, the shells flew to the ground from the ejection window again and again, splashing wisps of dust.

After firing a round of bullets, Huang He unloaded the magazine. He took out an auxiliary loader from the ammunition box, and then said to Li Yunlong: "It's fun, right? You know how to play it? Haven't played it before?"

No one can be indifferent to these three consecutive taunts. Old Li flushed and snatched the MAS-38, and pushed Huang He away.

"What are you talking about! Go! Go! Go!"

Da.

After firing a magazine in less than two seconds, Li Yunlong was confused.

"Has it started?"

"It's over!"

After mastering the correct usage, Li tried the shooting positions at waist, standing, prone and kneeling, and tested all the performance of the gun.

Even after firing four magazines, he still felt unsatisfied, so he played with dual wielding.

Even though he was not very proficient in the new weapon, the small recoil of MAS-38 hardly affected the shooting accuracy.

In the end, even the brigade commander could not hold back his excitement, kicked Li Yunlong away and fired a few magazines to satisfy his desire.

After testing the submachine gun, the three came to a Hotchkiss M1914 heavy machine gun. After firing hundreds of rounds, the brigade commander and Li left the logistics department with satisfaction.

Until now, Lao Li has not had the opportunity to say "What a good heavy machine gun, I can't bear to part with it", and he will never have the opportunity in the future.

Even after a duel with the Japanese fighter plane, the Type 92 was destroyed in the fortifications, but he was not sad, because now he had a comrade who could be trusted unconditionally.

————————

After returning to his laboratory, Huang He began to make plans for the next year.

Based on the current production capacity of the Logistics Department, as long as the military factories in the system produce for another half a year, the French rifles, submachine guns, and light and heavy machine guns can be equipped to the entire army.

This production capacity even includes the share of the Fourth Master.

There are two options next. One is to continue to develop the army and produce trucks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks.

This development route is very similar to our army in a certain period of time in the future.

However, the Republic of China has all kinds of terrain and landforms, among which the terrain of Shanxi Province is relatively poor, and the road conditions are very bad. Even light tanks have limited room for development here.

It will be relatively better to attack big cities in the future. After all, the road network is very developed, and any tank will do.

In addition, the reliability of tanks at this stage is far less than after liberation, so Huang He gave up this option and only retained the demand for transportation vehicles.

The development goal for the next year is the air force!

The training cycle for pilots is much longer than that for tank crews. Without a certain number of good instructors, soldiers need to spend a long time practicing driving.

Prepare now and pave the way for the future.

But whether it is motorized troops or air forces, there is one thing that can never be avoided, that is oil!

Thinking of this, Huang He concentrated on the research project that was being unlocked.

"Fuel storage:

When the oil workers roar, the earth will shake three times!

A large amount of stored oil requires a complex set of containers, pipes and valves to ensure that it is safe and convenient to use

Research time required: 70 days

Effect: Civilian factories in the system can produce oil storage tanks and transportation pipelines.

Fifteen oil producers with a professional skill level of first-level/senior technicians are obtained every month"

Although this research project is a bit strange and seems to be unrelated. It is "fuel refining", "oil processing" and "rubber processing" and pre-technical technology.

Extend the oil field! Here I come!

Another research option is the "Brand Mle 1937" 50mm mortar.

Here it comes!

Will people be rescued in Zhongtiao Mountain?
