Chapter Nine: What to Submit and What to Leave Behind
However, these are the Japanese devils, so let's leave nothing for them! As Diao Qixian spoke, this devil had already been thoroughly cleaned out, leaving not even a piece of cloth to cover his private parts.
"What do you think we should keep as weapons for our guerrilla unit?" Zhao Fengnian asked
"The bullet pouch over here... and that's not an iron lump, that's called a grenade!" Wang Han corrected Diao Qixian while receiving items.
As for why you prefer the Czech style over the crooked handle, it is primarily because the crooked handle is of such poor quality that even the Japanese themselves do not like to use it
"Clean the gun; it can still be used if it's washed properly. Don't throw it away!" Xiang Dezhen, who was leaning against the side, spoke.
This guy should be called... Diao Qixian, right? It seems... the stick on my head was struck by him? This guy used to be a professional thug? I... damn, how many people must he have beaten to hone such skills?
Well, we need to hurry and find the regiment headquarters to hand over these unnecessary spoils, leaving only what we can use! I see the enemy still has quite a bit of military rations; we won't have to go hungry for the next few days!
Well, the enemy's puppet troops are carrying quite a bit of military rations with them, so we can have a few hearty meals! Additionally, this time we have captured two machine guns; we need to send one back to the regiment. The regiment will think of us when they receive the spoils, and we must not forget organizational discipline!" Zhao Fengnian said
Hu Changyi said here, leaving Zhao Fengnian and Xing Dezheng in a state of shock. Zhao Fengnian interrupted Hu Changyi: "Wait a moment, you say this crooked weapon is very poor? This is a weapon of the Japanese, how could it be poor? And what is this reduced charge? And the Czech style..."
"Not too many, not too few, exactly 10 pieces!" Zhao Fengnian said
Then, amidst a clattering sound, these fragments were tossed into a cloth bag held by Wang Han by Diao Qixian
Xiao Diao, your skill in searching for things while taking off clothes is quite impressive; I can't even do it as swiftly with my own clothes! Liu Chunsheng remarked from the side
This is not all; this fellow keeps tossing things while muttering: "Three oceans, one watch, one gold ingot, two bullet packs www.hetushu.com, one belt, two iron lumps..."
Hehe, Old Xing, this time we can make a fortune. Look, what I found in the enemy's backpack? A map! Although we can't understand it, it will definitely be of great use when sent back to the regiment. Zhao Fengnian is also scavenging for items, but the difference is that he is looking for things like maps.
Of course! Back in the day when I was in business, I was definitely decisive; otherwise, it would not have been good when people woke up. However, in our line of work, there are also rules: do not leave things completely undone; one must leave the customers with some clothing and a bit of money to return home.
"It will be useful! Wait for me to alter the size of these clothes and dye them a different color, then our guerrilla unit will have uniforms!" Not far away, a guerrilla fighter in his thirties was carefully folding the captured enemy uniforms, not even overlooking those stained with blood.
I will briefly explain: Firstly, the Japanese Type 38 rifle is quite good and very suitable for our guerrilla forces! The effective range of this rifle is 460 meters, and its length is 1,280 millimeters. Additionally, with the bayonet blade measuring 400 millimeters, the total length of the rifle reaches 1.68 meters
It is a pity that the clothes of those three in the backyard are simply too tattered, what a waste of those clothes!" The tailor sighed while folding the clothes.
Therefore, we will keep the Type 38 rifle and the Zhongzheng rifle, as well as the Mauser M1895. At the very least, we will not be at a disadvantage in close combat! Furthermore, the Zhongzheng rifle, Mauser M1895, and Czech rifle all use the standard Mauser 7.92mm pointed bullet. This way, our guerrilla unit will only need to have two types of ammunition!
"Oh... you don't find this disgusting? What do you want it for?" Liu Chunsheng pinched one corner of the cloth with two fingers, disdainfully tossing it aside
"Uncle Fengnian, the enemy's Type 38 rifles must be kept. A small squad of the enemy has 9 rifles, and sometimes they even add one for the machine gun ammunition bearer. How many have we captured this time?" Hu Changyi asked.
Oh, by the way, how many Czech-style bullets were captured? How many magazines are there? The barrel and the maintenance kit are still there, right? Also... over there is the middle formal, right? One, two, three... exactly five, plus the one in Uncle Dezheng's hand and the Ma Si Huan from the library, that's just enough!
"You are right, but have you thought about it? We have both the Type 38 and the Hanyang rifle, as well as this crooked handle and the Czech model. How are we going to send them back? What weapons will we use for combat in the future? In the past, we didn't have so many weapons; having a single gun was already quite good. Now, you really need to think carefully about this. Hiss..." said Xing Dezhen.
"Uncle Fengnian, I am listening!" Hu Changyi knew it was time for him to make his entrance and to somewhat alter the original character's persona. He couldn't be seen as a fool all the time, could he?
"Grenade, grenade, I know this is a grenade, but what’s wrong with me calling it an iron lump? Alright, strip off his military uniform, Chunsheng, lend a hand!" As he spoke, Diao Qixian's hands swept in front of the enemy soldier, and the buttons of the enemy's military uniform were undone. Then, with Liu Chunsheng's assistance, they helped the enemy soldier up, and in the blink of an eye, a military jacket was taken off.
In Hu Changyi's line of sight, Diao Qixian approached a Japanese soldier, his hands swiftly moving over the soldier's body, and then various small items hanging from the soldier were removed.
Alright, let me provide you with some information! Hu Changyi looked at Zhao Fengnian and the puzzled faces of the surrounding guerrilla fighters, thinking it would be better to explain a bit. After all, when he was a writer, he had memorized this information thoroughly, and it would be just right to share it with these novices in weaponry
"Ugh... tailor, if you don't speak, no one will consider you mute!" Just moments ago, Wang Han was fine, but he immediately ran out of the main hall and retreated to a corner to vomit
Then let them all stay, but the Japanese's crooked guns are truly inferior, send them away! Along with the specialized 6.5mm Yoshiba rifle ammunition! I see there is a Czech model over there, let's use that!
Did you see? The captain knows how to live! Let's change it up! Tailor, can we use these military uniforms?" Diao Qixian switched to a different tone and shouted into the distance.
"That's enough, stop worrying about these trivial matters and take a break. As for your question about how to choose, don't we have a weapons expert? Changyi, Changyi... wake up..." Zhao Fengnian called out to Hu Changyi.
It is said that an inch longer means an inch stronger. With this gun and bayonet, we will not suffer losses! If you don't believe it, compare this gun with those standard ones and see how much longer it is. Then compare it with the Hanyang rifle; the Hanyang rifle is too short and not practical!
