Chapter 455 Delivery of weapons

Although these three arsenals were just new factories, they entered the fast lane after a little running-in because of qualified machines and workers. With the guns shot from the previous army, they were the simplest. They only used to come back and re-carve the rifle. After the boring machine, this portrayal was relatively simple. In terms of the material of the barrel, Baotou was more than the masters of the great powers. They were processed with drilling machines and used steel forged by high-pressure. There was a clear difference between the barrel made by other countries. Even if the rifle was re-carveted, it would not affect the performance of the barrel. At least it was much better than ordinary barrels.

The newly produced and re-carved rifled were a total of more than 100,000 rifles. The three towns that I promised to give were 70,000 rifles, and the weapons from the two towns that Yuan Shikai ordered temporarily, totaled 120,000. They started packing. They were packed in 12 boxes, and all of them were packed and then loaded into containers. There were four and three containers in total. Among them, guns occupied 8 containers, and the largest was 60-ton container, while bullets occupied the remaining one, all of which were light weapons.

Maxim and 75 cannons can be produced if they are stepped up, but this is a bit scary. The Northwest's production capacity in all aspects is extremely amazing. On the one hand, the Northwest has the most comprehensive and strongest industrial workers in China. On the other hand, it is also because of the machine tools, which adds the concepts of later generations and the cutting heads under powder smelting. The Northwest's machine tools are faster than the world's fastest, dozens of times faster. If it were not for the precise control of CNC machine tools, the Northwest could even perform high-precision and multi-faceted cutting operations, which was a machine tool operation that gradually emerged in the 1900s.

9 full-fledged military train cars followed the Baozhang Railway. They passed through Zhangjiakou and arrived at the defense zone of the third town. This was the first train that came here after the two armies started the war. The train was in Zhangjiakou, and the other cars were put down and they continued to move forward with only 9 cars.

Because of the communication in advance, a new army staff officer found the sentry in charge in advance, and when the train crossed the front line, it was not blocked and stopped directly in the small station.

The third town is set up in a small station. With the help of a camp formed by a small station, the train drove straight in and stopped in front of the camp.

Duan Qirui was prepared for a long time. When Yang Du contacted Baotou, Yuan Shikai also notified his confidant generals and a large number of weapons as soon as possible. There must be someone escorting and escorting them. By the way, you need to check the performance of these weapons. Even if they are free to pick up things, you can't take a piece of shabby iron.

Of course, not every test can be done, and 100 draws can be achieved by 300. It is already good, 120,000. It takes about 400 tests, and just find a company. Just conduct the test, and it won’t take much time.

Duan Qirui was waiting for the arrival of Baotou's arms. Although Duan Qirui was slightly surprised when he received a telegram from the old man. It is true that Baotou has huge military preparations and has the ability to face the Beiyang Army head-on in the defensive battle. But with such a big weapon support, aren't you afraid that the Beiyang Army will take the weapons and deal with him in the opposite direction? Isn't this a resource for the enemy? He isn't he afraid of shooting himself in the foot?

No matter what Baotou thought, as long as he got such a batch of weapons, even if he completed the task, Duan Qirui waited patiently. Finally, he received a report from the front line. He did not stop for much and rushed over with the guard battalion.

It took only ten minutes to ride his horse. The place where he was, about 3 kilometers away from the front line, was about 3 kilometers away. After running, he arrived at the place where the train stopped. The 9 cars should be equipped with the arms of this time. He walked forward and a young man in Northwest Army uniform walked towards him and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Wu Weishen, the staff officer of the 3rd Regiment of the 9th Division of the 1st Army of the Northwest Army, has met General Duan!"

Duan Qirui also knew that the Northwest Army in front of him had changed from the previous First Division to the Ninth Division. It was said that it was newly established, but when performing combat missions, it was impossible to see that the Northwest Army's training was so strict and strict, plus the weapons that were more powerful than the Beiyang, it was absolutely fine to defend it. Even in field battles, they might not be at a disadvantage.

Duan Qirui also knew that the so-called staff officer in front of him was a middle-level officer. Although he did not lead troops directly, he had a say in many things in the regiment. Duan Qirui had always been a stranger in the Northwest. With so many officers, he was not afraid of making too many. But what made him even more envious was that these young officers had a large number of officers. Unfortunately, there were no successors. Even after being trained by the officer team, there were not many talents and no successors. On the contrary, there were so many outstanding officers in the Northwest who had never heard of and were not good at military affairs.

Duan Qirui glanced and found that all the containers had seals, which seemed very tight. He asked in a deep voice: "Can you check it!"

"Of course, General Duan, please!"

Wu Weishen is irresistible. Even if the goods in Baotou are renovated, they have passed the strict inspection process. Each one is far higher than China's standards, and even compared with the great powers, it is not inferior. Such guns, even if they are inspected one by one, are fine, let alone random inspections.

"There are 70,000 rifles, 20 million bullets, and 100 Maxim, as for the 75 guns, it will take a week to wait." Wu Weishen pointed to the train car in front of him and introduced: "The eight in front are firearms, and the cars behind are all bullets!"

Duan Qirui was a very orthodox soldier, very familiar with various weapons. He casually asked the guard to take down a box, open it with a crowbar, and take out the gun with the smell of gun oil. This is a committee 1888.

Committee 1888 is also a part of Beiyang's guns, and even his guard battalion uses such guns. Duan Qirui is very familiar with it. He operates it a few times casually and pulls the bolt and magazine. He shows a satisfied expression on his face. Committee 1888 in front of him is obvious that they are all new guns that have just been produced, and even the rifle of the barrel has just been portrayed. Such guns are slightly a bit lacking compared to the finished gun, but they are also good things. When I picked up this gun, it is a little longer than the orthodox one, but the overall weight is relatively lighter. After Kaka moves the trigger, from the bolt to the excitation, it is basically complete. It can be said to be a perfect killing weapon. From the perspective of the eye, they are all excellent rifles, which are more than domestic ones. I don't know where the good path is.

There are 12 boxes, 70,000, a total of 6,000 boxes, and 20 million bullets. They are packed with densely packed throughout the car. After counting the numbers, they sign the number on a receipt form. As for the inspection results, they need to conduct random checks, which can be regarded as truly experiencing the power of these guns.

After seeing the quantity and the random opening, Duan Qirui was already confident in this batch of weapons. Especially when he saw Wu Weishen's expression and reaction, he knew that the quality of this batch of weapons would never be adulterated, but as a responsibility, he still needed to test it again and said to Wu Weishen: "That offends!"

Duan Qirui waved his hand and the guard battalion immediately rushed onto the train, but when it opened, there was a problem because no one knew how to open it. It was different from ordinary train cars. This was a container. Wu Weishen smiled and asked the conductor next to him to give some advice. Soon, he unloaded one side, a familiar long wooden box, and a strong smell of gun oil.

Of course, Duan Qirui did not choose the row in front. He moved about half of it and only chose 40 boxes among the eight carriages. According to 12 boxes, it was 480 pieces.

"Let's go to the shooting range!"

When Duan Qirui arrived at the shooting range, someone had already arranged the shooting range. The guard battalion with more than 600 people can be said to be the largest among the Beiyang military camps, and there is no empty salary. After all, the guard battalion directly protects the safety of the town government. Any leader will not care about this and add personnel to it in a different direction.

The crowbar was taken out and the boxes were pried open. As one of the aces of the Beiyang Army, the Third Town itself has high quality and the Guard Battalion is the ace in the third town. It is very skillful in movements. Soon he got the gun and began to test the gun at the target.

Before shooting, Wu Weishen's expression was relaxed, but when he was shooting at the real guard battalion, he focused his attention. As a member of the Northwest Army, Beiyang should be his biggest opponent, and the third town is the best in Beiyang. Seeing the quality and level of these soldiers at close range is also part of the collection of information.

I have to say that as Duan Qirui's guard battalion, their quality is good, but in Wu Weishen's eyes, there are minor problems. Compared with the strict training in Baotou, and even the training without setting casualties, the training of other Chinese troops is a bit like a house. Even the most powerful third town in Beiyang is constantly fighting and is cultivated in constant battles. When it grows in actual combat, the real battle will not be much worse than others. However, without strict discipline and infantry exercises, there are some obvious mistakes.

Of course Wu Weishen would not raise it. These are things that Baotou has slowly summarized in actual combat after searching from multiple sources. Almost all have bloody lessons. Of course, they will not raise it, the so-called enemy of Beiyang.

The acceptance was over, and even Duan Qirui fired a few shots. He was very satisfied with the precise setting and good feel. The most important thing was that the rate of fire was not slow. Putting down the rifle was almost subconscious. Duan Qirui asked: "The gun is good, it seems to be more comfortable than the committee 1888!"

Wu Weishen said proudly: "Of course, if you use a 7.0-caliber bullet, the recoil should be smaller, which is more suitable for East Asian races!"

Duan Qirui's eyes flashed in surprise, and Wu Weishen did not notice it. Next, he signed the receipt, and the first batch of gun funds would be paid directly through the Northwest Bank. Yuan Shikai did not discount this at all. Wu Weishen also completed the task and took the train to roam, while Duan Qirui stayed there and did not leave.
