Compared with the fierce battle between the Japanese and the National Army, the rear base of the militia column was also in a busy state of preparation. We know that after the major military towns in North China had fallen, the Japanese troops stationed in will definitely rule some of their subordinate villages and towns, which also means that the militia columns must have close contact with the other side.

Fortunately, after more than a year of hard work, the arsenal founded by the rear base was not only unable to produce heavy weapons such as cannons for the time being, but under the leadership of Zhao Tiechui, the former Northeast Army firearms technician, the rifle was able to independently produce rifles. Moreover, the rifles produced were advanced in this era, because the guns they produced were exactly what Deng Chenggong had spent several days plagiarizing according to the Type 56 rifle.

With the drawings provided by Deng Chenggong, Zhao Tiechui, who had originally disliked him, looked straight after seeing a few drawings. When he saw the rifle parameters listed by Deng Chenggong, Zhao Tiechui said with a little shock and said two words, "Good gun!"

After Zhao Tiechui and the arsenal recruited firearms from other places, it took nearly a month to produce the first imitation type 56 rifle. When the gun was taken to the shooting range for testing, the special forces team members responsible for live ammunition testing had their first reaction to throw away their original formal rifle that they thought was good. Because this imitation type 56 rifle must be stronger in terms of range and performance.

In addition, this rifle also has another function, which is to fire grenades through special guides, which means that in the future, the rifle can be used as a small mortar in combination with grenades. This undoubtedly increases a lot of life-saving opportunities for special forces that often go deep into the enemy's rear.

When he told the situation about the situation to several squadron leaders of the Flying Eagle Base, the squadron leaders knew that their captains had designed a semi-automatic rifle, but they did not expect that the performance would be so good. They hurried to the arsenal, spent all the imitation of Zhao Tiechong, and excitedly used this imitation of five- and six-type rifle that was ready to be designed and finalized. The 7.62-caliber bullets that the arsenal had finally produced were also in the design loading.

With the Flying Eagle team members who have personally experienced it, their first reaction was that this gun must be equipped with their special operations brigade unconditionally. After all, Deng Chenggong said before that the equipment of the militia column is given priority to the Flying Eagle Team.

But when he went to Deng Chenggong excitedly, the squadron leader felt a little guilty, and finally handed over this task to Wu Zhongyuan, who was usually closest to Deng Chenggong.

When Wu Zhongyuan arrived at Deng Chenggong's office at the base, Deng Chenggong saw Wu Zhongyuan's expression of being reluctant to speak but stopped, he smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, you came for that Min-style 37 rifle, right?"

Since it was a plagiarized rifle, he was naturally named again. Deng Chenggong considered the name with the code name of the People as the series.

Wu Zhongyuan, who was guessed, also felt a little hot on his face, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, we have all personally experienced the power of this rifle just now. I think if the Flying Eagle Brigade can be equipped with this rifle, the combat ability of the team members should be greatly improved. In the future, facing the Japanese's heavy firepower point, we are fully capable of relying on the performance of firing grenades to knock out the opponent. Therefore, we all hope to equip this rifle as soon as possible!"

Deng Chenggong smiled and said, "Actually, I told you that I have said before that you, Flying Eagle Brigade has the right to choose priority for any equipment. So, after this rifle is put into normal production, the first unit to be equipped must be your Flying Eagle Brigade. I originally wanted to wait for this rifle to be finalized and tell you this news. Who knows you are so anxious? And I can tell you that there is another model of this rifle under construction. When will the troops be finalized and you will feel that this rifle is not suitable for you. So, I'm a little patient to wait. When will my captain forget you if you have any good things?"

This is true. When plagiarizing, Deng Chenggong designed two types of guns. However, the latter fully automatic submachine gun is more troublesome under the current production conditions, but it seems that Deng Chenggong is still fine. As for this semi-automatic imitation of five or six rifles, it is the standard equipment for his next step to prepare to equip regular militia units.

It was just because the rifle design was still in the R&D state, so in order to surprise these special forces, Deng Chenggong did not say it clearly.

Hearing that a rifle that is more powerful than this rifle is about to be released, Wu Zhongyuan immediately asked in surprise: "Really?"

Deng Chenggong glared: "When did you kid, you don't even believe what I said? Let me tell you, even if that rifle can be produced in the future, there will definitely not be many produced under our existing conditions. Both the shooting accuracy and the bullet capacity will be higher than the rifle you see now, and it has two shooting functions: single shot and continuous shooting.

I named this rifle as the Min-style 37 assault rifle, which is very suitable for your special forces. So, go back and tell those kids, train me honestly. When this assault rifle is released, you will know what a good gun is. Listen clearly, right?"

Wu Zhongyuan, who made Deng Chenggong pretend to scold him, showed a rare smile and said, "Yes, captain, I will tell them this good news now. Haha!"

Looking at Wu Zhongyuan who was hurried out when he pushed open the door and hurried out, Deng Chenggong rarely smiled. In fact, Deng Chenggong also spent a lot of effort on how to improve the strength of the special forces team to a higher level as much as possible. Although he could not achieve the configuration he had when he joined the army in later generations, nearly half of the special forces team still used the rifle with five rounds of ammunition capacity in this era. Deng Chenggong still felt that it was a bit bad.

Once they perform a large-scale combat mission, they are easily attacked by the enemy because they are required to concentrate their firepower. For this reason, a good assault rifle is essential. After all, the combat missions performed by special forces are often close combat, and the strength of firepower can completely affect their chances of success in the mission.

Just when Deng Chenggong began to consider what other weapons could be used in this era, Xu Mingyuan ran in with a telegram and said with a bad face: "Commander, according to the information personnel from Xingtai, the Japanese troops stationed there will be a squadron of soldiers going to the countryside to collect grain tomorrow. How do you deal with this?"

He is so fast! He has just occupied some important towns in North China, and now he can't help but leave the city to prepare to harm the people.

Deng Chenggong, who sighed in his heart, said calmly: "Send a telegram to Brother Hu in my name and ask him to implement the plan we agreed on before, "showing the enemy to be weak". As long as the Japanese army does not exceed one brigade, we must let the Japanese come out and lose once.

The militia regiment is the reserve force. If the attack is carried out, it is enough to hand it over to the militia squads in each village. Tell the militia squad leader that it is enough to strike appropriately, and don’t destroy all the Japanese devils in a hurry. For the time being, we must develop in a low-key manner. Only when the Japanese army is dragged in the front can we severely hurt them. Now their main force has not left, so it is better to implement a safe strike plan."

In fact, Deng Chenggong was very clear that as long as a mere Japanese squadron dared to enter the village, as long as they dared to enter the village, based on the strength of the village-level militia squadron in the team, as long as they joined forces with a few militia squadrons, they would be unable to take advantage of it. But in this way, it would inevitably attract the encirclement of their army. Then he knew that the Japanese were unwilling to suffer losses. In order not to cause major losses to the base, Deng Chenggong proposed a plan to strike weakly at the previous combat meeting.

The meaning is that during the period when the Japanese army's main force did not completely leave North China, the militia column only attacked troops below one squadron of the Japanese army. If the opponent dispatched more than one brigade of troops, they would all evacuate the front line and retreat to a hidden place that had been built. The militia regiments were broken up and led the opponent around until the Japanese could not withstand it. This method could ensure that the base area would not suffer too much damage and reduce the Japanese's vigilance against them.

Xu Mingyuan, who received the order, quickly conveyed the instructions to Hu Guangzong, who was commanding at the branch base of the Yingzuiling Militia Column. Hu Guangzong, who received the telegram, felt that this style of fighting was a bit cowardly, but he also knew that if he wanted to wipe out the Japanese squadron in a hurry, what awaited them would be a large-scale sweep of the Japanese army in Xingtai.

Even if the nearly 10,000 Japanese devils in Xingtai brigade can deal with the other party with the strength Hu Guangzong has now, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese army. Anyone who knows military knows how dangerous it is to leave a militia column, an army that is extremely threatening to them. By then, the main force of the army stationed in North China will stop and continue to advance south and turn the guns to deal with them. That will be really troublesome.

In fact, why the Japanese in Xingtai were so anxious to go to the countryside to collect grain? It was mainly because Deng Chenggong demolished him in Xingtai at that time, and consumed a lot of Japanese supplies to improve his current resident. In addition, when Deng Chenggong left, he had already pulled away the food in the city.
