Next, no one listened to what Dragon Boat Festival said. They asked for reinforcements and weapons, and if they asked for weapons, they needed airplanes.
Naturally, there were no more weapons, and the better weapons in the Munitions Department were all looted during the Dragon Boat Festival. If you want it again, you have to fly it from Nanjing.
But the air was blocked by the Japs, whose planes often flew to the outskirts of Nanjing. So how can weapons and equipment be transported to the front battlefield by air?
What's more, those German-style equipment are ridiculously expensive. The Gui army purchased more than 50,000 German-style fast guns. How much did each one cost? The 88K rifle costs 80 dollars, and the 98K costs 120 dollars. The Germans are just trying to steal money.
Did the MP28 submachine gun sent to Dragon Boat Festival cost 200 yuan each? That's the price of a small yellow croaker.
Damn it, no wonder the United States was neutral during World War II when other countries were at war. It was really profitable to sell weapons and equipment.
Duanwu said: "You can't afford it and you can't make it yourself? MP18 can be copied, how can MP28 be far behind?"
Secretary-General Yang was speechless because he wanted to do it too, but the existing technology was immature. Moreover, gun barrels have very high requirements for steel. With China's capabilities at the time, it was simply impossible to produce independently.
And if you go to Germany to import accessories and corresponding machines, the price will not be much different from that of a finished gun.
So that saying is correct, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. You can't make a good barrel without good steel.
The biggest difference between submachine guns and rifles is that submachine guns have a faster rate of fire and have higher requirements on the barrel.
And this is why there are many imitation submachine guns in China, but most of them have been abandoned. Because if the barrel is imported, the cost will be too high. Using ordinary steel cannot meet the high rate of fire requirements of submachine guns.
Therefore, this results in a very short lifespan of the submachine gun, and there is often a risk of the chamber exploding.
But this is not a problem at all for the Dragon Boat Festival. Medium carbon steel will not work. You can use chromium-nickel-molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel.
Foreign countries keep secrets about gun barrels and alloy compositions and will not tell the Chinese. Because the Chinese can make steel pipes, so who will buy them?
So how could the Chinese know this kind of secret?
Secretary-General Yang was confused after hearing this and said, "What is chromium-nickel-molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel?"
Duanwu said: "If this is too complicated, you can use chromium-nickel alloy steel. Stellite tungsten-cobalt alloy steel can also be used. The barrels of old American guns are made of this stuff."
"Okay, okay, okay, just wait, I'll write it down."
If Secretary-General Yang has found a treasure, he may come to Duanwu's mouth casually. But in the eyes of Secretary-General Yang, these are the top secrets of all countries.
Making firearms, artillery, what is the most important thing? It's the barrel and barrel.
A good barrel and barrel can increase the stability of shooting and its service life.
For example, if you make a submachine gun, its service life is only 300 rounds of ammunition, then what do you make it for?
Therefore, only good gun barrels and gun barrels are the cornerstone of weapons manufacturing.
After Secretary-General Yang finished memorizing, he took a long breath and said to Duanwu: "I will supervise the manufacturing of this batch of steel as soon as possible. But it will take a long time. And we also need to purchase the submachine gun blueprints from Germany."
Duanwu sneered: "You want to buy drawings? Give me the money and I will draw one for you when I have time. How big a deal is it?"
"Grass!"
Secretary-General Yang complained subconsciously and thought to himself: "Where does this little monkey come from? Not only does he know the high-end technologies of various countries, but he can even draw the manufacturing blueprints of firearms? Is this a genius?"
"Baby monkey, why don't you come back? I'll ask the committee to find you a director of armaments."
Secretary-General Yang was so excited that he actually decided to appoint an official for Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu waved his hands and said: "That's not my ambition. If I want to do it, I'll build a plane. I'll build a jet plane that can beat the kid's plane by several blocks."
"Fuck!"
Secretary-General Yang started to curse, thinking: This little monkey is really awesome, he wants to build a jet plane. What was that? He had never heard of it.
"Baby monkey, come back! The director of the airport is also under your control."
Secretary-General Yang kept asking, but he had no idea that Dragon Boat Festival was bragging!
He can come up with the blueprints for submachine guns, so he can save money on building airplanes!
So after whetting Secretary-General Yang's appetite, Duan Wu quickly braked and said to Secretary-General Yang: "Now is not the time for me to build guns or airplanes. Water from afar cannot quench my thirst for nearness. I want guns and airplanes. Weapons and equipment. Prepare as much as you can for me. If you can't send it to the front line, you can send it to me near the Xicheng Line.
But there must be airplanes, and two fighter jets are enough. When the time comes, I will give you my radio band, and you will let them listen to my orders. I asked them to appear and appear again. Without my order, they must not appear.
But as soon as my order comes out, they will fight out even if they die! "
Secretary-General Yang frowned, because of the air battle, he was really not sure. In the air battle with the Japanese, the Chinese army suffered repeated defeats. Secretary-General Yang lost count of the number of aircraft he lost.
But two planes are acceptable. Just passing through the enemy air force's blockade is indeed a bit difficult.
But in the end, Secretary-General Yang said: "Okay, there are only two. I will find the two best pilots to go to the Yushan position to support you."
"Okay, thank you, Lao Yang, thank you!"
After saying thanks at the Dragon Boat Festival, Secretary-General Yang put down the phone and began to mobilize troops.
At the same time, everyone in the 48th Army Headquarters curled their lips. Damn it, this guy in Dragon Boat Festival wants guns for guns and people for people. When the air force is so nervous, he can still ask for two fighter jets.
"Military seat, it seems that we should have a good relationship with this Dragon Boat Festival commissioner, right?"
Chief of Staff Wang on the side showed a sly smile.
Commander Liao nodded and said: "Well, we should keep in touch with each other. In this way, doesn't he lack men and guns now? Move my guard battalion over to support him."
Chief of Staff Wang shook his head speechlessly and said: "Sir, are you really willing to spend a lot of money? Your guard camp is equipped with all German equipment?"
Commander Liao gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf. People are going to build airplanes. People are still talking about what we have, whether they see it or not."
"What the military commander said is absolutely true. But I think just sending people and guns is not enough. We need someone who is eloquent and knows how to communicate emotionally to be the liaison officer. That is the best way."
Chief of Staff Wang spoke again, and Commander Liao nodded, and already had a candidate in mind.
There is a female liaison officer named Yan Wushuang in his 48th Army. She is 19 years old and has the rank of captain. There is nothing she cannot do and there is no man she cannot deal with.
Commander Liao felt that only Yan Wushuang could take on this important task.
With an order, the guard battalion of Commander Liao of the 48th Army and the liaison officer Yan Wushuang immediately set off and rushed to the Yushan position.
At the same time, Dragon Boat Festival asked for people and planes, and I still felt a little uneasy.
There are only more than 4,000 people left in the Yushan position. But the enemy has a brigade.
The exact number of people is unknown, and it is also unclear who the brigade leader is. So this is a confused battle.
And the most difficult thing to fight in this world is the stupid battle. I don’t know who the opponent’s commander is, and I don’t know how many troops the enemy has. So how should we fight the next battle? Staying on Yushan Mountain?
That's it. Because if you stick to it, if the first word is true, then you will die.
Whenever an order is given, few people survive who stick to it.
Don't do this kind of loss-making business during the Dragon Boat Festival. He was thinking that according to the time, Lao Shou and Xu Dazhuang should have returned. But at this moment, intensive gunshots came from the distance.
Duanwu found a Y-shaped piece of wood from somewhere and put it under his armpit, then limped outside the headquarters. He wanted to see where the shooting took place.
But at this moment, Xie Jinyuan came in. As soon as he came in, he said angrily: "Your leg is seriously injured, you can't move around. What are you going to do?"
Duanwu accompanied him with a smile: "We are shooting outside!"
Xie Jinyuan said: "It should be that the Second Special Company and the Third Special Company were at war with the enemy's reconnaissance troops. We took advantage of the gunshots. We all have automatic weapons. As long as the little devils don't attack with large forces, we won't suffer." .”
"Yeah!"
Duanwu nodded twice, but still wanted to go out. He had to see it with his own eyes to feel reassured.
He is different from those generals who are strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Those generals can command battles at the brigade level at most. But Dragon Boat Festival was precise enough to fight at the company and platoon level.
And this is one of the secrets why he often wins.
For example, generals such as Commander Liao can issue combat orders to the division, brigade, and regiment levels at most. Give them a task, and it's up to you how to deal with it.
But at this time, once you encounter a stupid or stupid subordinate commander, then a battle will often be lost due to the mistakes of this unit.
But Dragon Boat Festival is different. Dragon Boat Festival pinpoints combat tasks to the company and platoon level, and even to the squad level. He knew every one of their combat units inside and out. And if that team makes a mistake, he can make it right.
So when the enemy faces an opponent like Duanwu, it is simply a nightmare. While the enemy was still commanding large corps, Duanwu had already pinpointed every tiny combat unit.
For example, this time Lao Shou and Xu Dazhuang's combat mission was assigned by Dragon Boat Festival. So he should always pay attention, and if there are any omissions, he can make up for them at any time.
After leaving the headquarters, Duanwu accidentally missed his step and slipped from the edge of the trench. It also startled the soldiers who were digging trenches.
The soldiers of the 174th Division quickly stood at attention, saluted, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Commissioner, I dug this trench."
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, digging very well, keep working hard."
Duanwu laughed loudly. Although he was sitting on a buttock and his whole body was covered with dirt, he was very happy. Because the trench was dug well, it is already about two meters long. People are hiding inside and can't even show their heads.
The advantage of this kind of trench is that as long as the Japs' artillery shells don't blow away the floating soil on the front slope, the soldiers hiding in the trench will remain unscathed. Just like this kind of trench, the little devil doesn't have a few tons of artillery shells, but it can't be blown up! ...
