Having said this, the Minister of Social Affairs took out a German-made ppk pistol and two boxes of ammunition from the briefcase beside him, placed it in front of Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, in addition to handing over Comrade Qingping's files, I am here today.
Apart from this, there is another matter for which I need to ask for help from you, the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau."
"Our Ministry of Social Affairs is engaged in secret work, and the weapons we carry cannot be too large. In addition to captured Japanese pistols, our Ministry of Social Affairs is now equipped with Soviet-made combat pistols converted from the army, or some miscellaneous revolvers.
The performance of Japanese pistols is too poor, and the power of bullets is too small. The Soviet-made combat pistols are not only too large in appearance, but also have excessive power."
"When the anti-special agents arrested the Japanese and puppet agents, they made many mistakes due to problems with the pistols, which even led to the unnecessary sacrifice of personnel. It was not that the Nanfang pistol jammed and was shot by the agents first, which led to the accident that should not have happened.
The comrade who should have died died."
“It was not because the Soviet-style combat pistol he carried was too powerful, but the life he originally wanted to spare turned out to be killed. There were even cases where innocent people were injured by ricocheting bullets when arrests were made in private houses and warnings were sounded.
At the same time, the appearance of the Soviet-made pistol is too large, and it is easy to reveal your identity if you carry it with you."
"Those miscellaneous revolvers have more than a dozen bullet calibers, and the amount of ammunition is too small. Some guns can't even get a hundred rounds of ammunition. Apart from scaring people, they have almost no effect. Only
I didn’t even dare to go target practice for a few rounds of bullets, for fear that I would use up the limited bullets and have no place to replenish them.”
"After a long period of research with the Military Region Security Department, we finally want to ask the arsenal to help us manufacture a batch of pistols that are moderately powerful, not too big in appearance, and have good accuracy. We have compared a variety of pistols
, and finally selected this German-made ppk 7.65 pistol."
"Short, compact, simple in structure, moderate in power, and extremely accurate. It cannot be seen when hidden in a pocket. Although the penetrating power is slightly smaller, our comrades generally shoot at close range, so this is nothing
There are shortcomings. The performance of this pistol is very suitable for use by our comrades on the secret front."
"But the quantity of this kind of pistol in our hands is too small, and it can only be used by a small number of personnel engaged in the most secret work. Therefore, we hope that the equipment department can help us copy a batch of off-brand pistols that are originally equipped for comrades on the secret front, especially those used by comrades on the secret front.
It was an extremely unreliable Southern-style pistol, and it was replaced by a Soviet-style pistol that was somewhat overpowered."
In response to this request, Yang Zhen did not answer immediately, but thought about it and said: "There is no problem in imitating this kind of gun, but from reverse surveying to taking out the product, and adjusting the ammunition production line to producing a qualified product, it is all necessary
A lot of time. But the use of guns by your Ministry of Social Affairs is an urgent problem that needs to be solved."
"We do not have a production line for 765 pistol ammunition, and we have never produced such pistols that do not meet the needs of the battlefield. Nowadays, the guns for middle and senior cadres above the military region and regiment are generally German P-38 military weapons obtained from the Soviet Union.
Pistols, or a large number of Browning pistols captured from the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Both lower-level cadres are equipped with Browning 1935 pistols. There is no such small pistol specially produced for self-defense. In this way, there is a batch of German Sauer pistols we obtained from the Soviet Union in the warehouse of the Military Region Logistics Department.
, as well as Mauser HSC pistols, Mauser 1934 pistols, and some finished products of this ppk pistol."
"This batch of self-defense pistols that are not suitable for ground combat was originally planned to be equipped with pilots and tank soldiers. However, considering that the power of the 7.65 pistol ammunition is a bit too small, the number of P-38 pistols obtained from the Soviet Union is large, which is enough to meet the requirements.
All the requirements are met, so it has not been issued.”
"This batch of pistols is about nearly 2,000, as well as more than 500 Japanese imitation Browning series pistols, as well as original Browning pistols seized from puppet Manchukuo officers and Japanese army officers, all of which are allocated to the society.
Ministry. You should replace those miscellaneous brand pistols first. The extra ones will be used as reserves. If there are not enough, we will think of ways."
"How about replacing this pistol after it is copied? As for this gun, you take it back first. We have the prototype firearm here. I will just ask them to hurry up and make sure they get it done on time.
, I will bring you a batch of pistols according to the pledge."
Yang Zhen agreed happily, making the social minister stunned for a moment before he nodded in agreement. After all, as a soldier from a country with a large number of miscellaneous firearms, especially someone engaged in anti-espionage work, he was no stranger to these world-famous pistols.
His own sidearm is a Mauser 1934 pistol.
He was very familiar with these types of firearms and knew that these guns were good guns, so he did not insist. However, he did not take the pistol that Yang Zhen pushed back, but said: "No. 1, the Military Region Equipment Department has this
I still know this about the gun. This gun is not for the equipment department, but for your younger brother and sister."
"Now that all the territory in Northeast China has been liberated, the security guard on your parents will gradually be lifted. But how many Japanese and puppet spies have not been eliminated, including whether Chongqing's military commander and central commander will secretly make any moves? This is still a question.
Uncertain factors. Her skills and marksmanship can make up for the lack of security guards."
"No matter where you place her, I suggest you give her a name in the military security department so that she can wear weapons. If there is any accident, she can protect your parents' safety in a short time.
This gun was specially selected by me and given to her to carry with her. It can be regarded as a farewell gift for me as an old leader."
The Minister of Social Affairs' suggestion made Yang Zhen slightly stunned, but he did not take the small, easy-to-carry ppk pistol. Instead, he resolutely pushed the gun back and said calmly: "Brother
, I accept your offer. But I still hope that no one in my family, except for me and Jicai, will come into contact with this thing."
"Since she is married, she should take good care of her family and be a good wife and mother. These things of killing and killing should be left to men like us. If I, Yang Zhen, can't even protect my family,
If he can't protect her well, how can I call him a man? If Yang Jicai can't even protect his own wife, he's not worthy of being a soldier."
Seeing that Yang Zhen rejected his kindness, and knowing what the young man in front of him was thinking, the Minister of Social Affairs did not persuade him. After pushing Yang Zhen back, he put the gun back into the briefcase he was carrying.
After talking with Yang Zhen about the anti-special work within the base area in the coming period, he left.
Looking at the back of the Minister of Social Affairs, Yang Zhen, who was sitting in the chair, did nothing but closed his eyes and meditated for a long time. Yang Zhen never regretted rejecting the Minister of Social Affairs' suggestion. Some things
If you want to cut it off, cut it off completely, and don't engage in those disconnected things.
Judging from the fact that Yang Jicai's lover handed over the pistol without any hesitation after Yuan Zhiruo came to talk to her, I am afraid that in her heart, she did not want to return to the Ministry of Social Affairs. Whether she is strong-willed or not has nothing to do with whether she wants to be the second choice.
It doesn’t matter if you choose to do so. Counter-special intelligence and intelligence collection are jobs that are always in a gray area, and not everyone is willing to do them.
This kind of work is somewhat reluctant for a person with a somewhat weak personality. Just because she joined the party and participated in underground work does not mean that she likes this kind of work. Obeying orders is one thing, but there are choices.
When she is given a job opportunity, it does not mean that she will be willing to continue working.
Yang Zhen also hopes that his sister-in-law will have a smooth and uneventful life in the future. The current Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security in a few years will have too many disputes. It will be better for her to withdraw now.
Said it should be a lucky thing. This sibling whom Yang Zhen did not accept at first was the only privilege he used for his family while working in Northeast China.
However, after a heart-to-heart conversation with the Minister of Social Affairs this time, his impression of this veteran who had made great achievements on the anti-special front was greatly changed. After taking over as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, he had a completely different impression of this veteran.
The Ministry of Social Affairs changed its lukewarm attitude after the separation and became quite supportive in all its work.
Of course, after the separation, he was not in charge of the Ministry of Social Affairs. There was a Security Department within the military to fight against special forces, and there was an Intelligence Department for intelligence. His main focus was on the military. Apart from education and foreign negotiations, he was not involved in other work at all.
Yang Zhen, it is impossible to say whether he supports it or not.
But after taking over as the first secretary, the situation is different. According to the practice of major strategic areas, the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs is responsible to the first secretary. The strength of his support is also directly related to the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs.
Can we move to a higher level? But even if the Minister of Social Affairs does not make this trip today, we still need to give full support where necessary.
After all, as China's largest industrial base, it is also where almost all the heavy industry in major strategic areas is located. At least for now, the second economic construction plan has officially begun to roll out. Northeast China, where the essence of China's industry is concentrated, is internally stable and safe?
, is directly related to whether the progress of the entire plan can be completed smoothly.
Except for top-secret military projects, which are under the responsibility of the Security Department directly under the Military Region Headquarters, the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security of the Northeast People's Government are responsible for all other anti-special and security tasks, with the Ministry of Social Affairs assuming the most important
of anti-special work.
The Northeast has always been a key area for Japanese infiltration. Before the September 18th Incident, I am afraid no one except Tokyo can find out how many spies the Japanese sent in the Northeast. Even after the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, the Japanese
To suppress the so-called anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese activities, a large number of spies were also lurking or hiding among the people.
Despite the continuous attacks and strict prevention and control, the Japanese spy activities in the original North Manchuria base have basically dropped to the point of negligibility. But if it is really to be completely eliminated, I am afraid no one dares to guarantee that. And then liberation
In Southern Manchuria, the operation to eliminate Japanese and puppet spies is still in progress, and Japanese and puppet spies activities are still quite rampant.
On the fifth day after the liberation of Shenyang, a factory was set on fire and several machines were set on fire. The tram terminal in Shenyang was set on fire by spies and more than ten trams were burned down. Soldiers patrolling the city were also burned down. Someone threw a grenade, resulting in a vicious incident in which three people were killed and two were seriously injured.
As for the entire southern Manchuria, there were even more incidents of shooting at guards, assassinating government workers and land reform workers who went to the countryside, and destroying roads, railways, and bridges. Even when a ship in the Dalian Shipyard was seized, it had already been built. Eighty percent of the 3,000-ton cargo ship was burned down in the dock by Japanese spies.
The spies left behind by the Japanese and puppets were active in frequent activities, causing great losses. However, the anti-espionage work in Southern Manchuria was not going as well as expected. Although the Minister of Social Affairs mobilized the backbone of the Ministry of Social Affairs and personally sat in Shenyang City to direct the cleanup, But the pace of progress is still relatively slow.
