Chapter 255 Mark Qin

Zhou Charter suddenly turned around, but saw Yao Xi's thief getting into the military tent, quickly walked to Zhou Charter, hurriedly loosening Zhou Charter, and urged while untiing the rope, "Brother, don't do anything about it. The opportunity has come. Run."

"Why are you here? They didn't shut you down. Have you bet it?" Zhou Charter asked.

"Shh..." Yao Xi said in a low voice, "These Qing soldiers are fucking cowards. They locked me in a grass room. The sentry at the door actually ran to warm the fire, so that I slipped out without any effort. Brother, the sentries outside the military tent also went to set fire. Damn, if these old soldiers meet the sun Personally, it's over! Brother, let's run before they find out!"

Zhou Charter threw away the rope on his body and knelt on one knee to the mantle.

"Brother, what are you doing? Time is running out. If the sentry finds out, we can't run away!" Yao Xi urged.

Zhou Charter scolded: "Yao Xi, you think you really have such good luck! The sentry of the straw shed can also light the fire, and the sentry of the Chinese army tent can also light the fire? Is this fucking called a military camp?"

"But they are really on fire."

"They let you go!"

Zhou Charter ignored Yao Xi, faced the mantle, bowed his head and said, "Guge, at the beginning of Tianjin Wubei School, the charter behavior abruptly offended Gege! Later, in Pyongyang, the Charter not only did not reflect on his mistakes, but also resented Gege, deceived Prince Duan, and once again embarrassed Gege! Now, the Charter knows its guilt! The crime of the Charter is unforgivable and dare not ask for understanding. When I capture Lushun, I will definitely come back to meet Gege and be punished by Gege! There is no complaint about the charter!"

The mantle shook slightly, but there was still no reply.

Zhou Charter continued: "Gge, Zhang Jun's trip is of great importance. Please keep your mouth shut. Charter is very grateful."

There was Minxiu's scolding: "Who is noisy and noisy outside, and no one wants to sleep!"

Zhou Charter stood up and strode out of the military tent.

......

In the military tent, Minxiu opened the curtain and looked at the black tent door in amazedly. Tears flowed down.

Minxiu has never cried since she was a child. However, tonight, she cried three times.

After hearing Zhou Charter's apology, she cried again. Through the cracks in the man, she saw a seven-foot man kneeling in front of her man.

Minxiu's heart is open-minded.

She finally understood that what she had been pursuing for so long was actually just an apology from this seven-foot man.

With this apology, everything seems to have passed, and the once-grave hatred is scattered.

The requirements of a grid are really not high!

However, her tears still couldn't stop.

In fact, Minxiu doesn't want to stop crying. She found that crying is also a beautiful thing. Tears can make her relaxed and open-minded. More importantly, her tears can be exchanged for Zhou Charter's sincere apology!

Cherry came in gently: "Guge, he has left the barracks."

Minxiu wiped her tears and asked, "Just now he said he was going to Xiaogu Mountain?"

"Well, he said that Zhang Zuolin borrowed 500 guns and waited for him there."

Minxiu whispered, "Cherry, take some personal guards, take things, and go to Xiaogu Mountain quickly. Remember, don't let Duan Qirui know."

"Cherry understands!"

......

Zhou Charter and Yao Xi came out of their military tents, and there was no one around them. In the distance, a bonfire was lit. A group of soldiers were surrounding the bonfire, and Duan Qirui's back could be seen.

Zhou Charter and Yao Xi left the barracks all the way, and there were no soldiers investigating along the way. The two went all the way south. Before they reached the Hushan Pass, they saw Feng Guozhang coming towards them with the brigade.

When Feng Guozhang saw Zhou Charter, he was overjoyed: "Brother, did you run out? That son of a bitch, Meng Mingshi didn't do anything to you, did he?

"You are the son of a bitch!" Zhou Charter scolded, "Why did you get out of the mountain pass?"

"I don't know what's going on," Feng Guozhang said, "He Zijun suddenly disappeared, and the fence and machine guns were withdrawn. Brother, do you know that Meng Mingshi?"

"This, that's right." Zhou Charter said.

The troops quickly went south, went up the path, and bypassed Jiulian City. At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright and they reached Xiaogu Mountain.

The lonely mountain is covered with snow and dense forests.

The troops came to an icy stream, and Zhang Zuolin came out of the mountain forest.

"Brother, it's all ready, just in the woods." Zhang Zuolin said with water vapor.

Zhou Charter nodded and followed Zhang Zuolin into the forest.

More than 200 sacks were piled up in the open space in the forest. Yao Xi hurriedly ordered someone to untie the sack. He pulled out a rifle from the sack beside him, took it in his hand, and pulled the bolt, but the bolt did not move at all.

Yao Xi looked down and cursed, "Well, you son of a bitch, Zhang Zuolin, this fucking bolt is rusty!"

The soldiers took out guns from the sacks. There were various types of rifles, and even birds. One-third of the rifles were rusty and worse than burning sticks. Instead, there were several sacks of big knives and spears in the back, which were bright.

The soldiers threw away their rifles and fought for the big knives and spears - on the battlefield, the big knives and spears are more useful than these rusty rifles.

Zhang Zuolin blushed and said, "Brother, there are only these things in the big group in western Liaoning. They still took out all the keepers, with a total of 600 rifles, 5,000 bullets, and more than 300 big knives and spears."

"Zhang Zuolin, we're not going to the fucking nurse, we're going to beat the Japanese!" Yao Xi threw away the rifle and scolded, "My brother took these things to die!"

Zhou Charter waved his hand: "Forget it, Zhang Zuolin has tried his best. This is still in Liaoxi. Zhang Zuolin has some face. If we change to other places, we can't even get these things."

Yao Xi was extremely depressed: "Brother, when we were in North Korea, although we were poor, at least there were some real guys. This is back to the Qing Dynasty, and we are not even as good as beglings! Damn, we tried our best to help the court fight Japan, but the court raised us as stepmothers!"

While talking, I suddenly heard a noise outside the forest, and someone shouted, "Who!"

"and the word army!"

"It's broken, they're catching up!" Yao Xi picked up the rusty rifle and fell on the ground.

Zhou Charter kicked Yao Xi fiercely: "Get up, the rifle in your hand can only be used as a fire stick!"

Zhou Charter quickly stepped out of the forest. Yao Xi hurriedly got up and followed Zhou Charter with Zhang Zuolin.

Five soldiers led three war horses and stood by the stream, led by a thin officer with a faint smile on their faces.

Zhou Charter greeted him and said, "Cherry..."

"My name is Huang Ying." Cherry said.

"Yes, General Huang, come here in person. I don't know what you can give me some advice?"

Cherry pointed to the horse and whispered, "General Meng said, let you bring this."

Zhou Charter noticed that there were two wooden boxes on the back of each horse.

"What did General Meng give us?"

"You will know when you open it." Cherry said.

Zhou Charter waved his hand, and Zhang Jun's soldiers unloaded the wooden box and opened the wooden box. There was a black thing lying in the wooden box.

At first glance, this thing looks like a small cannon with a thick barrel, while in front of the barrel, there is a muzzle slightly thicker than the rifle, and there are two handles at the tail of the barrel.

Yao Xi frowned: "What kind of labor is this? Is it useful?"

Zhou Charter said, "This is a heavy machine gun!"

"heavy machine gun?" Everyone is very confused about this strange name.

In the Qing Dynasty, the strongest infantry firepower is the Gatling machine gun. This is a multi-bun barrel wheeled infantry weapon invented by American Gatlin, which is controlled by a hand-handled handle. Gatling machine guns have strong firepower and can fire 600 bullets per minute. After Li Hongzhang's Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau successfully imitated Gatlin machine guns, they were widely equipped in the Qing army. The Qing army has never seen such a powerful weapon, and they favored and even relied on Gatling's machine guns.

The Qing army relied so much on Gatlin's cannon that it turned a blind eye to the defects of this heavy weapon. In fact, the weakness of the Gatling machine gun is also very prominent. Gatlin machine gun is very bulky and complex to operate, requiring four people to operate at the same time, which greatly reduces its mobility. In fact, the weight and operation complexity of a Gatlin machine gun are similar to that of a wild gun, but in actual combat, it cannot be played out. The role of wild guns. In addition, the Gatlin machine gun handle operating system is very prone to failure, and on the battlefield, it is easy to cause jam explosion and barreling.

Because of such defects, Western countries began to seek a lighter and practical infantry firepower as early as the early 1980s. Its basic requirements are continuous firing, light carrying and easy operation, which is the so-called machine gun.

In 1884, British-American Markin developed the world's first machine gun. This machine gun has a diameter of 11.43 mm, weighs 27.2 kg, and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. Its firepower is comparable to that of the Gatling machine gun, but its mechanical properties have been greatly improved, the operation is simpler, and the weight is only Half of the machine gun, in actual combat, only two people are needed to operate, one is responsible for shooting and the other is responsible for filling bullets. This is the famous Maxim heavy machine gun.

Maxim's machine gun made a grand debut, which not only improved the firepower of the battlefield, but also changed the idea of modern military tactics, and the armies of various countries competed for equipment. However, the two major countries in East Asia, Daqing and Japan, said no to Maxim's machine gun.

At the end of the 19th century, the Qing army was in the face of the rapid progress of the world's military industry, but the Qing army was indifferent. They thought that everything would be fine with the Gatling cannon.

However, Japan considers strategic resources. The powerful firepower of machine guns comes from the continuous firing of hundreds of bullets per minute. Most of these bullets are not fired into the enemy's body. For Japan, which is resource-poor, such a waste of bullets is a heartbreaking thing.

Therefore, after fighting for more than half a year in the QingJapanese War, there was no machine gun representing the world's military science and technology trend on the battlefield.
