Chapter 225 Black Heart Bullet
The Shengshicai team in front of us not to mention the Ma family army that had tens of thousands of people, even the regiment of Sun Dianying in front of us was probably difficult. Not to mention anything else, the Shengshicai team now counted the guns and bullets and found that the pistols and rifles were added together just over five digits - all the cannons were discarded or destroyed, and there was no need to count zero.
With more than 10,000 shots, Sun Dianying's regiment is not big or small, and there are still two thousand people. On average, five bullets have to kill an enemy - how close is it to shoot.
The regiment was still far away, and only looked at the Qinghai Guard Company in front of him. Not to mention, there were three heavy machine gun positions that formed cross-fire power. There were more than a dozen Czech light machine guns near the post and two groups of two were also set up muzzles that exposed black holes. Sheng Shicai didn't want to gamble on a gamble without bullets.
Sheng Shicai's request was transmitted to the regiment headquarters through the telephone number of the post, and the regiment headquarters sent it to Sun Dianying, Xining on the radio.
Sun Dianying, a strong man from the Xiling Mountain, thought for a while and asked: "I remember that group just changed their clothes."
A deputy chief of staff of the Qinghai Guard Command said: "The commander remembers it right. The old weapons he replaced were still in the warehouse of our regiment and had not been sent to Xining."
It is said that since the strong man from the Qiling Mountains, Sun Dianying, has been in high fortune in recent years. He first became the commander of the 40th Division. As soon as the Japanese entered the pass, Sun Dianying became the commander of the 41st Army. When he fought the Japanese on the front line of the Rehe Great Wall, he really made some contributions. His 41st Army was reorganized into the Qinghai Reclamation Corps. Although he was going to Qinghai to eat grass, he was also a commander.
Most of the treasures brought by Dongling were disposed of before leaving the Pingjin area - there was no popular place in Qinghai. In addition to the pension saved by Sun Dianying and his confidants and their old subordinates, a large number of arms were also exchanged for.
It was precisely through this batch of arms that Sun Dianying rushed to Qinghai from the encirclement and blockade of the Ma family army. He defeated the cavalry troops of the Ma family army traversing the northwest and seized the back garden of the Ma family army in the northwest. Although the Ma family army units in the northwest were unwilling to accept it, facing Sun Dianying's troops equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, those horses were powerless to kill them in pieces like cutting wheat.
At that time, the people of all ethnic groups in the northwest had been suffering from the tyranny of the Ma family army for a long time. The Ma family army ruled the northwest with three policies, which can be simply called rape, killing and robbing: women who are not their own tribe should be raped (Ma Bufang here said that except for their own mother and daughter, I should be raped), men who are not their own tribe should be killed, and business travelers who are not their own tribe should be raped.
These policies of the Ma Family Army were placed in the three northeastern provinces, which was the evil bandits among the bandits. After learning about the policies of the Ma Family Army, Sun Dianying did not think that he was fighting a civil war, but he was fighting an evil fork. The captured officers and soldiers of the Ma Family Army were all pushed forward and chopped their heads. The local people applauded - Did you eat the blood steamed buns today? Sun Dianying also took this opportunity to gain a foothold in Qinghai. The four-Ma coalition army dropped from more than 50,000 at its heyday to 30,000 to 40,000.
But what made Sun Dianying stand firm was the fact that the branch line of the Longhai Line was built from Lanzhou to Xining. Since the line of more than 200 kilometers was fully completed at the end of the three or four years, a large amount of supplies from Qinghai from various places to Xining, bringing a large amount of various daily necessities and the arms needed by Sun Dianying's troops to Xining, radiating from Xining to the entire Qinghai.
In 3004, Sun Dianying's control area was only half of that in Qinghai. After the Qinghai Reclamation Corps expanded its troops again in 3005, Sun Dianying completely drove the power of the Ma family army out of Qinghai. Non-cultural people from all ethnic groups from Ningxia, Gansu and other places moved to the rule of Sun Dianying in Qinghai. In a short period of time, Qinghai, especially near Xining, was prosperous.
Although the scissors gap between Sun Dianying, the commander of Qinghai’s settlement, and the central government is also quite fierce, it is much better than burning, killing, looting, and robbing. Of course, it is not too cheap to transport anything from thousands of kilometers away. Although Sun Dianying’s scissors gap here is quite powerful, it is still very cheaper than the goods brought by the Camel Caravan.
Speaking of which, Sun Dianying used some treasures brought from the Dongling to exchange for a large number of automatic weapons. Because these weapons were shameless, Sun Dianying did not hand over the old gun and brought them to Xining. When the Japanese entered Ningxia, Shaanxi, the Nanjing Central Committee considered that the Japanese had a certain possibility to capture the Ma family army and then advanced to Xining, Qinghai, and allocated a batch of weapons replaced by the Central Army to expand their troops and prepare for war to defend Qinghai.
The weapons, rifles, machine guns, light artillery were mainly used to arm about 15,000 people. According to the central government, it was just a trainer. At that time, the 300,000 direct Central Army was in Ningxia, Shaanxi, and there was no fear that Sun Dianying, the Central Army, would become stronger. After the First Army and the Seventy-first Army completed armorization, they would be even less afraid.
At that time, the Japanese were conquering Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Sun Dianying was anxious to take out all the arms in stock and armed all the local young and strong who were determined to join the army.
This time, more than 20,000 troops were expanded, and Sun Dianying's troops also increased from more than 60,000 to 90,000. If Qinghai hadn't had a slightly small population, Sun Dianying would have a little more excess weapon.
When the Tsarist Russians entered Xinjiang, Sun Dianying's troops completed the third change of clothing. This time, although they still picked up the remaining ones of the Central Army, the Qinghai Reclamation Corps was also equipped with a large number of second-hand light weapons such as official and Czech reform. The old guns sent to the expansion troops were replaced from Peiping that year.
Sun Dianying asked about this batch of weapons. It was something Sun Dianying wanted to see to give Sheng Shicai some of the weapons to compete with the Ma family army, which was something Sun Dianying wanted to see - driving tigers and swallowing wolves, which was not a great trick. But even this little weapon, Sun Dianying would not give it to him in vain.
As for food, mutton is a good thing in Donglaishun, Sijiucheng, but mutton is not worth the money in Qinghai. The breeding speed of sheep is relatively fast, but the water and pastures for herding sheep, herding horses and cattle are fixed. Even in the dry season, the pastures will dry up and shrink. When a snowstorm occurs in winter, some herders will have thousands of sheep frozen to death.
The two sides contacted each other and the regiment headquarters on the Qinghai border sent a battalion to escort more than 1,500 rifles and more than 1,000 sheep to the checkpoint - drinking goat milk when you are thirsty and eating meat when you are hungry. All of them are eaten and drunk.
The Shengshicai Department inspected the rifles and flocks sent by Sun Dianying's troops, and there was no big problem with the sheep. There was a little problem with the guns. Although the guns were made in Jin, Feng, Gongxian, and Hanyang, the 79 rifles were only 60% new, but they could still be fired at empty guns. However, Sun Dianying's troops seemed to have forgotten something, and there were no bullets for 1,550 guns.
The remaining thousands of rifle bullets in Shengshicai's unit were also 7.62 mm. There was a 7.92 mm rifle here, but there was no 7.92 mm rifle bullet. Is this a fire stick or a fire stick?
Sun Dianying's troops did not give a single bullet, and the nine-mm pistol bullet was 20,000 at one shot - but the main pistols equipped by Shengshicai's troops were Russian-made Tokarev 7.62mm pistols, and there were only nine nine-mm box cannons.
Now Shengshi can announce loudly that all nine-mm box cannons have enough pistol bullets to last a large battle.
But when you go to the Ma Family Army's territory with a fire stick and so many mismatched pistol bullets, it is not seeking death, but seeking to kill.
"Let's ask again, how can we give bullets?" Sheng Shicai had to ask the adjutant to contact Sun Dianying's troops again to see how to give bullets.
If people are under the eaves, how can we not bow our heads? I just said that eight thousand people can still rush to the position of more than 100 people in this post, and there is still hope. But after another battalion came, there were nearly a thousand well-equipped Sun Dianying's troops near the post and were on guard. Now that we are rushing over like this, we are seeking death.
Not long after, the adjutant came back. At this time, Shengshicai's army killed dozens of sheep and started to bury the pot and make rice. The adjutant said, "Sun Dianying's army said that this bullet was not blown by the strong wind. There was a ocean, one yuan, five rounds, but no ocean gold was calculated at one or two or fifty yuan. There was no credit."
Black is really too dark. How did Sun Dianying grow his heart? He even had gold and silver to exchange for a little bullet. This is what Sheng Shicai thought at this time. You should know when Sheng Shicai was there, let alone a little bullet, even the planes and cannons were given for free by Tsarist Russians. What Sheng Shicai had to do was sign a name on the white paper prepared by the Tsarist Russians. When did he spend money to buy things?
Although Sheng Shicai escaped from Dihua, he still had a batch of gold and the Animal Ocean. Xinjiang used to trade silver coins mainly based on the Animal Ocean. Later, after the Tsarist Russians supported Sheng Shicai, they began to change to the golden ruble and the Animal Ocean.
After Shengshicai rebelled against Tsarist Russia, he reorganized the Xinjiang Bank and exchanged the banknotes with the avatar of Shengshicai for silver and gold rubles on the market. If someone dared to refuse the new coins with the avatar of Shengshicai, it would be disrespectful to him, Shengshicai and dragged them out to shoot targets as usual.
Through this method, Xinjiang Bank got a large amount of yellow and white goods. When Sheng Shicai escaped from Dihua City, he swept all the gold and silver deposits in Xinjiang Bank - at this point Sheng Shicai did more than the gold and silver left by the prodigal Shaoshuo Zhang to the Japanese.
The black market price of this five-round bullet is really not cheap, but it can't kill the Ma family army with gold and silver and fire sticks. Not to mention five rounds of bullets per yuan, you have to buy even one yuan and two rounds. Shengshicai bought 100,000 7.92mm rifle bullets with great pain, and missed the days when Shengshicai was in Shengshicai. Although Shengshicai was just a sound tube and a puppet, there was no need to buy this black bullet.
More than 8,000 people, more than 2,000 rifles, and more than 500 pistols were not enough. The officers and soldiers under Sheng Shicai's army were not assigned guns but had a wealthy fortune. They all went to the guard post at the Qinghai border of Sun Dianying's army and used large and small yellow croakers or silver dollars to buy the guns and ammunition of Sun Dianying's army at a high price.
No matter how good gold and silver are, what's the use when they are useless? The officers and soldiers of Shengshicai Division all survived several times, and they were all slight money and heavy lives. Those who were not afraid of death had already died. These people even hunted two twenty-shot Czech machine guns from Sun Dianying's tribe before dinner.
