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. The better weapons in the Munitions Department were all looted during the Dragon Boat Festival. If you wanted them again, you would have to fly them over from Nanjing.
But the air was blocked by the Japs, whose planes often flew to the outskirts of Nanjing. So how could weapons and equipment be airlifted to the battlefield ahead?
What's more, those German-style equipment are ridiculously expensive. The Gui Army purchased more than 50,000 German-style fast rifles. How much does each one cost? A 88-8 rifle costs 80 yuan, and a 98k rifle costs 120 yuan.
The Germans are just like stealing money.
Did the MP28 submachine gun sent to Dragon Boat Festival cost 200 yuan a piece? That's the price of a small yellow croaker.
Damn it, it’s no wonder that during World War II, the United States was neutral when other countries were at war. It was really profitable to sell weapons and equipment.
Duanwu said: "If you can't afford it, you can't make it yourself? MP18 can be copied, how far is MP28?"
Secretary-General Yang was speechless, because he wanted to do it too, but the existing technology was immature. Moreover, the requirements for steel for gun barrels were very high. With China's capabilities at the time, it was impossible to produce them independently.
And if you go to Germany to import parts and corresponding machinery, 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. Without good steel, you cannot make a good barrel.
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.
This is also the reason why there are many imitation submachine guns in China, but most of them are abandoned. Because if the barrel is imported, the cost is too high. If ordinary steel is used, it 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 barrel exploding.
But this is not a problem at all for the Dragon Boat Festival. If medium carbon steel is not suitable, you can use chromium-nickel-molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel.
Foreign countries keep secrets about gun barrels and the alloy composition of gun barrels, 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."
Secretary-General Yang felt like he had found a treasure, and Duan Wu might have said it casually. But in the eyes of Secretary-General Yang, these were the top secrets of all countries.
What is the most important thing in making firearms and artillery? It is the barrel and barrel.
A good gun barrel and gun barrel can increase the stability of shooting and its service life.
For example, if you make a submachine gun and its service life is only 300 rounds of ammunition, what do you do with it?
Therefore, only good 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 and said: "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: "Who is this little monkey? 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 the 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 little devil'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 the hell is that? He has 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, Duanwu quickly stopped and said to Secretary-General Yang: "I am not building guns now, I am building airplanes. Water from afar cannot quench my thirst for nearness. I want guns, airplanes, and 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 planes, just two fighter jets. When the time comes, I will give you my radio band, and you let them listen to my orders. I will let them appear and reappear. Without my order, they will never show up.
But as soon as my order comes out, they will kill them even if they die!"
Secretary-General Yang frowned, because he was really not sure about the air battle. In the air battle with the Japanese, the Chinese army had suffered repeated defeats. Secretary-General Yang could not count how many aircraft he had lost.
But two planes are acceptable. It's just that it's difficult to pass through the enemy air force's blockade.
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 thanking him at the Dragon Boat Festival, Secretary-General Yang put down the phone and began to dispatch troops and generals.
At the same time, everyone in the 48th Army Headquarters was pouting. Damn it, this guy in Dragon Boat Festival wants guns for guns and people for people. How can he still do it under such a tense situation in the Air Force?
Two fighter jets are coming.
"Military seat, it seems like this Dragon Boat Festival commissioner, we still need to have a good relationship with each other?"
Chief of Staff Wang on the side showed a sly smile.
Commander Liao nodded and said: "Well, we should have a good relationship. 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 give up your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf. People are going to build airplanes. I have something like this that people can't see or talk about."
"What the military commander said is very 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 confusing battle.
The most difficult thing to fight in this world is a confused battle. You don’t know who the opponent’s commander is, and you don’t know how many troops the enemy has. So how should you fight the next battle? Hold on to Yushan Mountain?
Then it’s haha. Because if you insist on insisting that the first word is true, then you will die.
Whenever an order is given, few people will survive if they stick to it.
Duanwu did not engage in this loss-making business. He was thinking about it. 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 somewhere and put it under his armpit, and limped outside the headquarters. He wanted to see where the shooting was.
But at this moment, Xie Jinyuan came in. As soon as he came in, he said angrily: "Your leg is seriously injured and you can't move around. What are you going to do?"
Duanwu accompanied him and said with a smile: "We are shooting outside!"
Xie Jinyuan said: "It should be that the Second Special Company and the Third Special Company are at war with the enemy's reconnaissance troops. We are taking advantage of the gunshots. We all have automatic weapons. As long as the little devils don't attack with a large force, we won't suffer."
."
"Yeah!"
Duanwu nodded twice, but still wanted to go out. He had to see it with his own eyes before he felt relieved.
He is different from those generals who are strategizing and winning decisive battles thousands of miles away. Those generals can command battles at the brigade level at most. But Dragon Boat Festival is precise enough to fight at the company and platoon level.
And this is one of the secrets why he often wins.
Generals such as Commander Liao, for example, can issue combat orders to the division, brigade, and regiment levels at most. If you give them tasks, it is your own business how to fight.
But at this time, once you encounter stupid or stupid subordinate commanders, then a battle will often be lost due to the mistakes of this unit.
But Duanwu is different. Duanwu has precise combat missions down to the company, platoon, and even squad level. He knows each of their combat units well. And once the team makes a mistake, he can make up for it in time.
Therefore, when the enemy faces an opponent like Duanwu, it is simply a nightmare. While the enemy is still commanding large corps, Duanwu has accurately targeted every tiny combat unit.
For example, the combat mission between Lao Shou and Xu Dazhuang this time was assigned by Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, he must always pay attention to it. If there are any omissions, he can make up for them at any time.
After leaving the headquarters, Duan Wu accidentally missed his footing and slipped out of the edge of the trench. He 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 well dug and was already about two meters long. People were hiding in it and their heads were not exposed.
go out.
The advantage of this kind of trench is that as long as the enemy's artillery shells don't blow away the floating soil on the front slope, the soldiers hiding in the trench will be unscathed. For this kind of trench, the enemy doesn't have a few tons of artillery shells, but it can't be blown flat.
