Facing the visiting Hu Biao and his party, the director of the arsenal also said excitedly: "Sir, the rifle you asked us to develop last time has already produced several experimental rifles. I asked the testers to try it, and it can already be used. Your request has been met!"

"Really! It seems that I came here this time, and I really came here! I have worked so hard, and I am really sorry for inviting you to such a difficult place! If there is any need in the factory, you can tell the logistics minister !"

"Don't dare! The treatment given by the officer is many times better than what we used to. Besides, our family has moved here, and we are now living very well. If it weren't for the benevolence of the officer, I'm afraid we still don't know where to beg for food and do odd jobs. !"

In order to prepare for the construction of this arsenal, Hu Biao, in addition to hiring corresponding experts and technicians with high salaries in Menia and Southeast Asia, did not forget to ask the intelligence team and military command to recruit domestic military production and R&D personnel for him.

As long as it is confirmed that these people have real materials, Hu Biao will give a high settling fee.If the whole family is willing to move to the southwest, Hu Biao will provide them with accommodation and land.All in all, provide them with a worry-free working environment.

Perhaps because of this, these experts obtained the drawings drawn by Hu Biao himself, as well as the rifle qiāng qiāng customized from abroad, and worked day and night to develop them.The results of the first two trials were somewhat unsatisfactory.

But after several failures, the new rifles produced later fully met the performance requirements put forward by Hu Biao.Even if Hu Biao does not come this time, I believe that the arsenal will inform Hu Biao of the good news.

When he came to the test gun shooting range built outdoors and looked at the three test guns placed on the table, Hu Biao also felt quite friendly.Although Hu Biao didn't use this gun much in his previous life, he knew that it was a very practical and reliable rifle.

Most importantly, this rifle has continued to be used as a practice gun in later generations.Compared with the current rifles produced by various countries, this semi-automatic rifle will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of troops once they are equipped with a large number of troops.

Picking up a new-style rifle that hadn't been painted yet, Hu Biao skillfully broke it down into individual parts. After careful inspection, he said, "Can these parts be mass-produced at present? I see many of them. should

Is it handmade? "

"Sir, you have good eyesight! Except for the gun machine, which is a little troublesome, other parts are currently mass-produced!"

Regarding the factory director's answer, Hu Biao didn't say much.It takes a lot of time for any factory and a weapon to be mass-produced.It is extremely rare for the arsenal to produce experimental guns in such a short period of time.

This also shows that the level of Chinese craftsmen is really good.As long as they are provided with sufficient funds and time, and given corresponding reference materials, the reverse derivation level of Chinese craftsmen is enough to shock the world.This point has also been demonstrated in later generations.

Looking at the people standing beside him, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "San Dao, you guys will try this new rifle with me. If you think it is good, I will let the factory give priority to special guns for you. Send the detachment to change into this new type of rifle!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

As the most elite unit in Hu Biao's hands, the treatment enjoyed by the task force is undoubtedly the best.In Hu Biao's view, a new type of weapon also needs to be tested in actual combat from research and development to finalization.Find out enough to make it truly reliable and trustworthy.

In the final analysis, a gun is the second life of a soldier, and a good gun can also reduce the chance of casualties of a soldier on the battlefield.Correspondingly, if there is a problem with the new weapon in combat, the wielder will often pay the price with his life!

Text Chapter 52 Money or Life!

Just when many people thought that the Japanese army had just been defeated in the battle of Xingcheng, and it would have stopped for a while, the Japanese army showed its ferocious side again and dispatched a large number of main forces of the navy and air force to cooperate with the army to raid Qinzhou Bay.

To the surprise of the landing Japanese army and the defenders, the joint fleet dispatched by the Japanese army had just entered the waters of Qinzhou Bay, and someone reported the news to the local garrison commander.But the final result still ended with the defenders retreating.

The reason is very simple. Facing the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese army and a large number of landing troops, the garrison in charge of defense is no match for the little devil at all.In this case, even if they resist tenaciously, the final result can only be heavy losses.

After receiving the telegram from the front-line reconnaissance unit, Hu Biao also said helplessly: "In the final analysis, any conspiracy is a paper tiger in the face of absolute strength. This time, the little devil seems to be really determined! "

"Langtou, let's stay here, don't we go to Qinzhou?"

"With our little force, what can we do over there? Don't look at our army has expanded a lot, but if we really fight a positional battle, even if we can win in the end, what price will we have to pay?

Besides, the little devils are in full swing right now, so let's not touch that bad luck lightly.For the Gui army, if we provide them with a little more timely information, we can also count as a friendly force.As for participating in the battle, just wait and see! "

Considering that the little devil is only launching an offensive in the Qinzhou area at present, and its fundamental purpose is to cut off the Gui'an international supply line.Although they did not dare to attack the colonial port for the time being, the Japanese army hoped to destroy this southwest supply line.

Without the rear of transshipment materials, even if the national government takes back the materials, how can they be transported back to the country?Compared with raiding Qinzhou, which was defended by the Guangxi army, it is undoubtedly better to bully the former to attack Haiphong Port, which is currently controlled by the colonial army.

Although the war in Europe has already begun, at least as far as the current situation is concerned, the contest between the Anglo-French Allied Forces and the German Allied Forces is somewhat uncertain.Even if the little devil wanted to do something, he had to let them see hope.

At least one thing Hu Biao knew very well, that is, after the British and French allied forces lost successively in the European battlefield, the little devil would definitely not mind being the one who made things worse.These colonies in Asia will all become spoils of war for the Japanese army.

Facing the [-] to [-] elite Japanese troops, even the Guangxi army, which had been prepared for a long time, was still unable to stop the Japanese army.The defenders deployed in the forward defensive positions were still unable to resist the fierce Japanese artillery fire and air strike force.

As a bystander, although Hu Biao was impatient, he still didn't make a move.After seeing the Japanese army occupying Qinzhou, they began to divide their troops to raid Nanning and surrounding counties.In particular, Longzhou, which was previously used as a material transfer station, was also in the plan of Japanese occupation.

After receiving the intelligence sent by the reconnaissance team, Hu Biao quickly said: "Notify Longzhou, and prepare for evacuation quickly! Find a way to get the supplies left in Longzhou that have not been transported away. First hide them, and then Find a way to transfer it!"

"Yes! Langtou! Then we are here in Longzhou, shall we fight the little devil?"

"This is natural! Let the task force attack! These bastards have just changed their equipment and military uniforms, and they can't wait to come. Find the right opportunity and give the little devil a fatal blow. Let the little devil know, Gui Province It's not peaceful!"

"understand!"

In order to ensure the safety of Xilong, most of Hu Biao's troops assembled in the southwest at the moment are deployed at the junction of Nanning and Baise.There, Hu Biao has already built permanent fortifications in advance. As long as the Japanese army dares to invade, Hu Biao will resolutely stop it.

In addition, the two newly formed independent regiments under the command of Lei Xiong will hide in the occupied areas successively occupied by the Japanese army and wait for orders.Once the Japanese army launches an offensive against Baise, Hu Biao will also instruct Lei Xiong to disrupt the Japanese army's combat deployment behind enemy lines.

Seeing that the Japanese army had completed the occupation of the entire territory of Qinzhou in less than three days, Bai Chongxi, who returned to the town after hearing the news, was also extremely shocked.In his view, the Gui army had taken precautions in advance, but they still couldn't stop the Japanese army from invading.

Although he was dissatisfied with the results of the frontline defensive troops, seeing that most of the troops lost troops, Bai Chongxi also knew that the troops had tried their best.Compared with the Japanese army's careful preparation and excellent equipment,

The defensive combat troops of the Gui army are indeed much inferior in strength.

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Bai Chongxi said with a little joy: "Sure enough, General Feihu was right. The little devil will not let us get international support materials from Haiphong. This time, we have also brought disaster. Already!"

"General, look at the way the little devils behave, they should be heading towards Nanning next. How should we deal with it?"

"What else can we do? The little devils are calling at the door, we can only fight them to the end! If the little devils drive straight in, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, we have prepared in the early stage, and we did not catch the little devils by surprise. .”

With Hu Biao's early warning, Bai Chongxi also deployed many elite troops around Nanning in advance.On the left and right wings of the south guard, other elite troops of the Communist Party of China were also assembled.Its purpose is only one, hoping to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to invade in Nanning.

If possible, Bai Chongxi even hoped to severely injure the Japanese army and drive the Japanese army back to the sea.It's just that this kind of thinking is somewhat unrealistic in Bai Chongxi's view.How could it be so easy for the Japanese army, which controls the air and sea power, to be driven away?

Looking at the telegram sent by Hu Biao, Bai Chongxi immediately said: "Order the front-line combat troops to stop the Japanese army steadily, delay the Japanese army's marching speed, buy more time for the rear to strengthen the fortifications, and first frustrate the little devil's spirit.

Secondly, order the troops stationed in Baise to obey the deployment and command of the special operations team during the war.There is General Feihu sitting on one side of the town. If you want to come to Baise, we can rest assured and focus on deploying defenses around Nanning! "

Listening to Bai Chongxi's words, some subordinates quickly said: "General, is it wrong to hand over our troops to the other party's command? The most important thing is that the number of troops stationed in Baise does not seem to be large. ah!"

"It doesn't matter! Since General Feihu took the initiative to take on this task, I believe he will definitely stop the Japanese army from invading. Although Guangxi Province is our territory, General Feihu knows the Japanese army's every move better than us right now.

If there is no accident, General Feihu should also have arrangements behind the Japanese army.Although there is no movement now, I believe that once he starts to do something, the little devil will definitely feel uncomfortable.With him taking care of me, I can feel a lot more at ease! "

Although it was already known that Hu Biao had moved many troops from the inland, Bai Chongxi also knew that these troops under Hu Biao had not seized the territory belonging to the Guangxi Clan except Xilong.On the contrary, after Hu Biao arrived in Shillong, the Baise area changed a lot.

In the past, Baise was also known as a bandit rampage. Since the appearance of Hu Biao, the bandits have almost been wiped out.Relying on the material transportation line from Longzhou to Nanning, many goods are being transported to Shillong one after another.

Some counties and towns where the goods pass through can collect a lot of taxes just by receiving these caravans, and the business of some inns and restaurants is much better than before.The income of the people in the territory is also much higher than before.

What really reassured and curious Bai Chongxi was that he had received some secret reports that many of the troops Hu Biao had dispatched from the interior had now entered the colonies controlled by the British and French, and even planned to stay in the British and French colonies for a long time.

Although I don't understand the significance of Hu Biao's actions, it can be seen from Hu Biao's judgment that the Japanese army will invade Guangxi Province that Hu Biao knows the Japanese army very well.Deploying military forces in Southeast Asia in advance has its own intentions.

Hu Biao also felt very relieved to learn of Bai Chongxi's temporary authorization.Judging from Bai Chongxi's statement, his cooperation with the Guangxi faction was still very successful.In a short time, he shouldn't have to worry about Gui Clan turning his back and stabbing him in the back.

With Bai Chongxi's authorization, Hu Biao immediately said: "Send a report to the old wolf, and deploy the two regiments of the first division that have not yet been re-equipped in the counties in Baise, temporarily take over the urban defense fortifications of these counties, and step up training. city ​​defense force."

"Yes, wolf head!"

As the first division commander appointed by Hu Biao, Qin Tianyou also became Hu Biao's agent in Guangxi province.Hu Biao also handed Qin Tianyou full responsibility for the defensive operations in the Baise area.What Hu Biao has to do is to direct behind the scenes.
