Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

When Yang Wei came to the living room, Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke had been waiting for a long time, Yang Wei stepped forward to shake hands with him warmly and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke, long time no see. w w. v m)"

This picture of warmth was entirely for Michio Ikeda who was passing by. Sure enough, Michio Ikeda gritted his teeth and left quickly after seeing the affection between Yang Wei and Hans Remke.

Before Yang Wei could finish his sentence, the adjutant Karl Schomme laughed and said, "Commander Yang, Mr. Hans Remke is no longer a lieutenant colonel."

After hearing Karl Schom's words, Yang Wei frowned suspiciously and forgot to glance at him. Karl Schom immediately said triumphantly: "Commander Yang has been promoted from regimental commander to commander. Can't relax."

Only then did Yang Wei breathe a sigh of relief. Hearing this, it seemed that Hans Remke had been promoted again. Although Yang Wei purchased weapons through von Box's firm, he needed Hans Remke to clear the way, so It would be a good thing for Yang Wei if Hans Remke was promoted.Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 140

Through Carl Schomme's proud showing off, Yang Wei knew that Hans Remke had been promoted to the first-class military attache of the embassy in Shanghai. Remke's current status is of great help to Yang Wei in purchasing weapons.

The servant brought the coffee, Yang Wei waved his hand and said: "This is the coffee just brought from Brazil, you two have a taste, I don't know what you two are here today?"

This time, before Carl Schom opened his mouth, Hans Schom, who has always been reticent, took the initiative to say: "I came to Hangzhou this time to ask about the performance of the mg26d general-purpose machine gun. Question, any machine gun can show its true "performance" only on the battlefield, I wonder if Commander Yang is satisfied with the mg26d general-purpose machine gun manufactured by the Mauser factory according to your drawings?"

The rigor of the Germans can not help but be reflected in the business negotiations, and they are also very conscientious about after-sales issues, which can be reflected in many brands of later generations.But Yang Wei vaguely felt that Hans Remke's trip was definitely not for such a simple reason, otherwise he would not have chosen such a sensitive time.

Yang Wei made a simple evaluation of the "performance" of the mg26d general-purpose machine gun lightly, but in the final analysis, what he said were all trivial issues. Hans Remke obviously didn't listen to it at all. Yang Wei can see Hans Remke was anxious, but his face remained calm.Sure enough, after a moment of stalemate, Hans Remke couldn't help but speak.

Hans Remke looked at Yang Wei solemnly and said: "Actually, we found that Commander Yang used a Swedish-made Krupp howitzer this time. I wonder if Commander Yang would be convenient to introduce the data of this howitzer and " performance."

Yang Wei suppressed a smile, it seems that Hans Remke really came here for another purpose.Yang Wei knew that the howitzer mentioned by Hans Remke referred to the new Swedish M1924 36-caliber [-]mm Krupp howitzer, and Yang Wei also used it for the first time in this confrontation with the Northern Expedition. This howitzer, I have to say, its "performance" made Yang Wei very satisfied.

It's just that the data of weapons can't be disclosed casually.

From Yang Wei's expression, Hans Remke immediately understood what he was thinking. He coughed lightly, and Carl Schomme immediately said very understandingly: "Commander Yang is fighting against the Northern Expedition this time. It used a lot of weapons and ammunition."

Yang Wei immediately nodded with grief and said, "It cost a lot of money."

Yang Wei's words accurately expressed his feelings. Among other things, it was just that thousands of shells were fired to frighten the Northern Expeditionary Army during the first artillery fire coverage. Looking at the dust and fireworks in the sky, Yang Wei wanted to cry without tears. Well, every hole on the ground was smashed out with his money, it was even more painful than hitting him.

Karl Schom suddenly laughed, shook his head helplessly and said: "It can be seen that Commander Yang is not a stingy person, but the military consumption in the battle is indeed very considerable. But Commander Yang, don't worry, our German side is willing to Help Commander Yang."

Even if there is no information on weapons, the Germans have already planned to help and support Yang Wei. Except for China, for any big power, the Northern Expedition will unify the country is not good news. Once the country is united, they will It will not be easy to get a share of this fertile land.

As far as Yang Wei is concerned, even if he refuses to provide it, it will be a matter of time before the Germans get weapons information. According to historical records, this type of howitzer will be officially produced in 1929 and entered service in the German army, and will serve as the standard artillery of the German Wehrmacht Accompany Germany through the entire process of World War II.

Moreover, the m1924 36-caliber [-]mm howitzer is not only used by Yang Wei, and it is not a loss for him to share weapon information.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei waved his hands very vigorously and said: "With the help Mr. Hans Remke has provided me in the past, it is also my duty to share weapon information."

Yang Wei, who got cheap and behaved, immediately talked with eloquence: "This Swedish-made m1924 howitzer has a caliber of 520 millimeters, a combat weight of 57 kilograms, and a pitch angle of [-] degrees. It can reach plus or minus [-] degrees left and right, seven shells can be fired per minute, the maximum range is ten kilometers, and eight personnel are required."

Hans Remke frowned slightly, and looked at Yang Wei intently, while Carl Schomme at the side had already seriously taken out a pen and paper to record, Hans Remke nodded while listening, Cautiously asked: "Then what are the "performance" characteristics of this Swedish-made m1924 36-caliber [-]mm Krupp howitzer when it is actually used?"

Yang Wei squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then seriously commented: "Mr. Hans Remke, I can assure you very responsibly that the performance of this Krupp howitzer made in Sweden is very superior. The firing trajectory can continuously carry out long-distance curved shooting to suppress shooting, and can also flexibly adjust the artillery trajectory. When shooting at close range, it also has the straight-shooting trajectory of an anti-tank gun. Yes, it can carry out effective direct-point shooting, especially after adding the muzzle brake, the performance is obviously superior. Whether it is close-range combat or long-range combat, this howitzer can flexibly Achieve the expected attack effect." Blood Quenching Mountain and River 140

Hans Remke was very satisfied with Yang Wei's description of the Swedish-made m1924 36-caliber [-]mm Krupp howitzer, and his extremely serious face also showed a rare satisfaction With a smile, he immediately decided to provide Yang Wei with weapons and financial assistance to strongly support Yang Wei's confrontation with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Compared with Tang Shengzhi's army whose purchase of weapons was restricted and blocked, and even with a lot of money, they couldn't buy a single shell, Yang Wei's situation was much smoother. After sending Hans Remke away, Yang Wei went to the Several guests were ushered in, including representatives from great power countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States and France.

This time the war between Yang Wei and the Northern Expedition attracted the attention of the great powers of various countries. I did not expect that there would be such a strong soldier as Yang Wei in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which has always been known for its lack of troops. This made the great powers full of confidence in fighting the Northern Expedition. One after another came to send funds and weapons to Yang Wei.

In just a few days, Yang Wei received financial assistance equivalent to more than three million U.S. troops. It can be said that it was the only harvest that made Yang Wei smile in the fight against the Northern Expedition. However, at the same time, Yang Wei and Tang Sheng The battle between Chi also reached its most intense moment.
