War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 389 The Military Repair Shop He Could Never Forget
Peking, headquarters of the 29th Army.

Song Zheyuan stood in front of the rockery and looked at the fifty MG30s placed on the ground, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Behind him, Zhao Dengyu and Tong Linge followed, and they couldn't stop smiling on their faces.

"Lao Ding, I told you, Chaoyang people are doing well (emphasis added), this time we didn't keep any of the newly copied MG30s, we sent them all to Beiping, which shows that the child's heart is with us."

Zhao Dengyu would definitely side with his old subordinates, and with these fifty light machine guns placed on top of a hundred ammunition boxes, who could say anything else?
When Song Zheyuan was left with only his own people around him, he said, "This Xu Chaoyang is good at fighting, but he's too greedy for money!"

"Whenever I make some money, I always think about putting it in my own pocket..."

"But then again, everyone has some problems."

This is a question of ability. As long as you have the ability, the people above you will make excuses for you themselves.

As Song Zheyuan spoke, he picked up the machine gun from the ammunition box. The light machine gun weighing only 12 kilograms was like nothing in Song Zheyuan's hand. He shook it in his hand, and the light weight did not weigh him down at all. After Song Zheyuan took off the safety, he pulled the trigger at the rockery in front of him - bang, bang, bang, bang!

When the gunfire broke out, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the rockery, and stone chips flew everywhere. The density of bullets was staggering, but...

In just the blink of an eye, the gun went out and there was a "click" sound of a blank shot.

At that moment, everyone was silent.

This group of people are used to using the Type 99 rifles they snatched from Xifeng. Their bodies tremble when they use that rifle, and they feel numbness in their arms after shooting continuously for a while. But this rifle is different. It's like a beggar who hasn't eaten meat for a long time and finally gets a piece of braised pork when begging for food. The meat slides down his throat without even waiting for him to chew. It always seems so unsatisfying to use.

But the advantages of this gun are also demonstrated in this situation. It has smaller recoil and is easier to control. Not to mention veterans who have been in the military for many years, even new recruits can easily master it.

Only the firing rate...

"217th Regiment..." This sentence was said by Song Zheyuan.

"Does the 217th Regiment usually use this?" This was said by Tong Lingge.

Zhao Dengyu smiled embarrassedly. He knew that the 217th Regiment usually used these troops. Otherwise, would he let the 217th Regiment be the first to go up to Xifengkou?

Not only does they have this, they also have the IG18 mini cannon!

"How many bullets are enough?!"

Song Zheyuan finally understood everything!

He finally understood how the 217th Regiment was able to stop so many Japanese troops from attacking on the Baitaizi slope. He also understood why in any battle, as long as the 217th Regiment went up, it would be sure to suppress the enemy's firepower. This thing was more than one level stronger than the Japanese Type light rifle, but the amount of bullets consumed was also not the same.

"No wonder Wang Changhai wanted to break into our military camp every day when he was in the 217th Regiment, asking me for bullets, just like I would give him bullets. I was so embarrassed that I scolded him many times..."

Hahahahaha!
Zhao Dengyu and Tong Linge were so happy!

How smart is Zhao Dengyu?

He knew Song Zheyuan's temper too well, so every time Wang Changhai asked him for bullets, Zhao Dengyu would give them to Song Zheyuan. Wang Changhai had no choice. Xu Chaoyang was such a good fighter, how could you not prepare bullets for him? He could only bite the bullet and go there. He was scolded every time he went there. But the result was always good. At least the number of enemies killed in the battle of Xifengkou had told him that the scolding was worth it.

"Old Ding, Xu Chaoyang has made great contributions this time. This guy is indeed a talent. If you let him be a company commander, he can fight a battalion for you in Rehe; if you let him be a battalion commander, he can win such a big victory for you in Xifengkou; if you let him send He Yingqin, he will get back to Dagu Shipyard and develop a replica of MG30..." Tong Linge couldn't help but speak up for Xu Chaoyang this time. He also wanted this weapon to be equipped to the whole army as soon as possible: "If you can make some money, then make some money. I heard that his brother-in-law is trying to make medicine. If it doesn't work, I can give him two travel permits?"

Song Zheyuan glanced at Tong Linge and asked, "Why would they use you?" "The road permit has already been issued by the Beiping Military Branch, signed by Deputy Director Li!"

"I have been to the Pingjin line where the 38th Division is stationed several times in the past few days... You said, Xu Chaoyang was in rags when he came here, and he didn't even have the qualifications to see me. How come he has so much power after entering Peking?"

Snapped.

Song Zheyuan threw the machine gun in his hand to Zhao Dengyu and said, "Order Dagu Shipyard to mass-produce MG30 as soon as possible and equip the entire army!"

"Old top!"

Zhao Dengyu then stopped her and said, "It's impossible to produce anymore..."

"No money again?"

Song Zheyuan was not stingy this time: "Tell our people to use the money in the account to help Dagu Shipyard first. Damn it, I just discussed with the government to increase the military fee to 300,000 a year. Now we are poor again."

In order to appease Song Zheyuan, He Yingqin asked the National Government for military expenses on his behalf. However, the National Government was busy with the encirclement and suppression campaign on the banks of the Chishui River and could not afford any losses here, so they had to agree. Therefore, the military expenses of the 29th Army increased from yuan a year when it followed Xiao Liuzi to yuan a year.

"It's not about the money."

Zhao Dengyu said: "Chaoyang asked someone to write a petition to report the situation of Dagu Shipyard. After receiving our iron sand, Dagu Shipyard has been replenished in steel, but the copper for producing bullets is still in deficit."

"copper?"

Song Zheyuan was also worried. He knew that Yan Laoxizi had this thing. Otherwise, how could the imitation Type 38 rifle produced in Southeast Shanxi be supplied with bullets? But this was a strategic material. Could it be sold just like that?

Zhao Dengyu came closer and said, "Lao Ding, do you remember what happened when Chaoyang and the others were in Chahar?"

Song Zheyuan looked at him and asked, "Is this the military repair shop?"

"No!" Zhao Dengyu almost couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "He and Wang Changhai cheated someone's mining company, the German one."

"Wasn't that done by bandits?"

"But the bandits saw people exploring for minerals on our land and said there is a copper mine in Laiyuan County, under Hunyuan County, near Baoding, not far from Peking!"

Song Zheyuan turned around instantly and stared at Zhao Dengyu with his eyes.

Zhao Dengyu's voice became smaller and smaller: "Let me suppress this matter. We can't do anything about it. After all, the Beiping Military Branch is still..."

Song Zheyuan's eyes widened and he stopped talking. Tong Linge had just lit a cigarette and took a puff when Song Zheyuan pulled it down and stuffed it into his mouth. He stretched his whole mouth to wrap it around, and when he took out the cigarette with his index and middle fingers, he bit the cigarette paper into pieces. The tobacco foam swirled around in his mouth for several times before he spat it out with a "Pooh".

"Damn it, why is this guy named He blocking my way when I'm trying to do something?"

"report!"

Outside the door, a soldier rushed in: "The 38th Division reported that Yin Rugeng from Tong County secretly smuggled opium in the name of the government. When he passed by the 38th Division's base, he was detained by the 38th Division!"
