Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 13 A Ship's Munitions?
You should know that before this, the German-equipped division used MP18/28 submachine guns in the Battle of Kunlun Pass not long ago.

The commanders on the front line concentrated a large number of MP18/28 submachine guns to equip the suicide squads.

Of course the effect is naturally good.

Now when he heard the word MP38 submachine gun, Zhao Qidong's eyes flashed with a strange light.

But shortly after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the channels for purchasing from abroad were cut off, domestic arsenals were damaged during the relocation process, and production capacity was sharply reduced. Every time a submachine gun was broken, there was one less.

Some troops even had difficulty in getting ammunition supplied, so when they ran out of ammunition they simply handed it over to third-rate troops like the security corps.

Without ammunition, this thing is just a fire stick. It is of no use other than showing off.

Now that Lu Yuhua has taken out a submachine gun that is more advanced than the MP18/28 submachine gun, people are naturally very curious.

When Zhao Qidong saw the MP38 submachine gun, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

And Zhao Qidong naturally knows what he is doing.

Pick up the MP38 submachine gun and start exploring its structure.

Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult and I figured it out in no time.

"Do you have bullets?" Zhao Qidong turned his head and asked.

"Yes." Lu Yuhua responded immediately and asked someone to bring over a magazine full of bullets.

He took the magazine, replaced it with an empty one, weighed it, and walked outside after feeling it was okay.

Soon, someone put up a target.

Zhao Qidong took off the safety and fired his gun.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
He fired three shots in a burst, then pulled the trigger to fire in a sweeping pattern.

I have to say that the accuracy of the MP38 submachine gun is quite good.

After finishing a magazine of bullets, Zhao Qidong felt a little unsatisfied, but thinking that bullets were precious, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing shooting.

After all, this was a gift given to him by others, and he was firing his own bullets.

"Okay, I've accepted all the gifts. Since you are so determined to go south and fight the Japanese to the death, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious contributions. If this situation happens again, I can't help you." A man should be grateful to his friend for his kindness.

After receiving the gift, of course he had to do something. Zhao Qidong thought about it for a while and decided to give the other party another chance.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua immediately felt relieved.

"Don't be happy too soon. The Battle of Kunlun Pass was nominally a tragic victory, but in reality we suffered a crushing defeat. Our casualties far exceeded those of the Japanese army. The superiors are furious and have arrested many officers recently, including some division commanders, army commanders, and so on." Zhao Qidong reminded again.

"It's just that your garrison regiment is not up to par. Otherwise, shooting you would be considered a light punishment for what you did this time."

"Still want to redeem yourself from your crimes?"

"Yes, sir, you are right. It is true that I let my subordinates down. However, I have already recruited 200 brave warriors before coming here. I believe it won't take long for us to be fully equipped and staffed." Lu Yuhua assured hurriedly.

Zhao Qidong was stunned when he heard this, but for the sake of these weapons, he still reminded him.

"It's easy to recruit soldiers, as long as you pay them. But weapons and equipment are not easy to come by. If you can't find any, go look at the defeated soldiers, maybe you can buy some cheap weapons."

In his eyes, how much wealth could Lu Yuhua, the head of a small security regiment, have?

Giving myself a generous gift, I guess I won’t have many weapons left.

I decided to be a good person and send the Buddha to the west. I directly pointed out that at the refugee camp outside Guilin, some refugees who could not survive were selling their old weapons. Although they looked shabby, at least they still had a few bullets.

It's much better than things like the Red Tassel Spear.

It has to be said that Zhao Qidong did consider Lu Yuhua.

However, he didn't know that what Lu Yuhua had in abundance now was weapons, and he wanted to sell all the weapons he had accumulated immediately.

"Thank you for your teachings, sir. However, I met a down-and-out arms dealer who had a batch of German equipment at a reasonable price. I just sold my property and bought a batch, enough to equip a platoon." Lu Yuhua scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

? ? ? ?
Zhao Qidong looked at the other person with a question mark on his face.

A down-and-out arms dealer?

Do you still have a batch of German weapons?
Is this possible?

It is absolutely impossible.

But looking at the MP38 charging period in his hand, he had to believe it.

If he wasn't a down-and-out arms dealer, how could he buy German weapons?

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the German equipment has been gone.

Otherwise, the German-equipped division would not have become the last one.

"Really?" Zhao Qidong couldn't help but ask.

"It's true." Lu Yuhua nodded quickly. He knew that the other party was doubtful, so he made up another reason.

"Speaking of this, this arms dealer named William is also quite unlucky. Two years ago, we were able to purchase weapons and equipment from Germany, but later, due to the invasion of the Japanese, our channels for purchasing arms from abroad were cut off."

"But the German thought that if he brought in a batch of arms at this time, he would definitely make a lot of money. However, he didn't know that the Japanese had already blockaded the sea area. So when his merchant ship came to our side, he found that even if he arrived in Shanghai, he couldn't sell it. He had no choice but to stop the merchant ship in Qinzhou Bay."

"The Japanese asked him to stop? Without checking?" Zhao Qidong asked in confusion, not fully believing it.

"Sir, have you forgotten? The Japs and the Germans are allies."

"Besides, the Germans are much stronger than the Japanese. How dare the Japanese messenger mess with them? And who can be an arms dealer? Don't they have people behind them?"

"The Japs are not fools. They also act according to the circumstances." Lu Yuhua's deception successfully convinced Zhao Qidong that German businessmen really came to Qinzhou Bay.

"What weapons are there?" Zhao Qidong asked curiously.

If it was just a rifle, he might not be that interested.

The Mauser K98 rifle is good, but it is troublesome to replenish bullets.

"In addition to rifles, there are Mauser pistols, submachine guns, and machine guns. Yes, yes, that's right, machine guns. They're called MG34 general-purpose machine guns. They can fire the same bullets as rifles and are said to be several times more powerful than the Japanese Type heavy machine gun." Lu Yuhua said, scratching his head.

"I think that's a bit too boastful. Is there a machine gun that's more powerful than the Japanese machine gun?"

Zhao Qidong had a solemn expression on his face. To be the head of the Guangxi Provincial Security Corps, he was certainly not uneducated and had a certain understanding of the weapons and equipment of various countries.

"Maybe I'm not bragging. Is there anything else besides these? These are just infantry weapons. Are there any cannons?" What Zhao Qidong was more concerned about was whether there were cannons. This battle made him realize that everything was useless without cannons.

If he had a few cannons when attacking Kunlun Pass, he would not have been bullied so badly by the Japanese.

He now hated the Japanese's grenade launchers.
