Chapter 222 Taihang Type 2 Light Machine Gun
"What happened?"
Seeing that the Ministry of Industry building was on alert, even the rifles and submachine guns prepared in case of emergency were taken out.
Zhao Tianyang asked as he walked towards the office.
"Twenty minutes ago, some reactionaries attacked the government building."
"Ten minutes ago, two people tried to throw a grenade into our Ministry of Industry building. Fortunately, the guard at the door spotted it in time and shot the thugs dead."
An official from the Ministry of Industry quickly recounted the major event that had just occurred.
"I have sent a distress message to the higher-ups. The troops stationed outside Ningxia will soon come into the city to support us."
"Ah."
Zhao Tianyang nodded, quickly returned to the office, picked up the phone on the table and made a call.
"Dudu..."
"Hello...is this Minister Zhao?"
"It's me, Chief. Have you received any news about what happened in Ningxia?"
Listening to the elegant man's voice, Zhao Tianyang asked hurriedly.
"Already know."
The elegant man consoled her, "The central government has activated the emergency plan, and a remaining division has already set out to support Ningxia."
"The remaining division?"
Zhao Tianyang was surprised and asked: "What happened?"
"It was a riot. The Kuomintang joined forces with Ma Hongkui and won over some officials and local hooligans."
"They are trying to plan an unprecedented riot in Ningxia, Lanzhou and other major cities to make the people lose confidence in us."
Then the elegant man said with some fear: "After we got the news, we took action."
"I just didn't expect that their main target would be you. It seems that your presence has been exposed. You should be careful when traveling in the future."
"I see."
Zhao Tianyang nodded: "Don't worry, I will stay in the Ministry of Industry building today. I will leave when you finish."
"Row."
The elegant man nodded: "I'll let you know when I have news."
"What happened, Minister?"
Seeing Zhao Tianyang put down the phone, Li Yuncai beside him hurriedly asked.
"Nothing, just some remnants who are unwilling to accept defeat."
Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and ordered, "Pass the order down. From now on, no one is allowed to enter the Ministry of Industry building but no one is allowed to leave."
"Everyone pick up your guns and keep a close watch on the surroundings. If you spot anyone sneaking around, give them a warning first and then shoot."
"Yes."
Li Yuncai saluted and turned to arrange the defense.
"Da da da......"
"Bang, bang..."
Inside the office, listening to the occasional gunshots outside, Zhao Tianyang smoked calmly and waited patiently.
Since he entered the Ministry of Industry building, the bastards outside have launched three or four attacks.
And as time goes by, the frequency of attacks continues to increase.
I don’t know how long it took, but the gunshots outside suddenly quieted down, and the next moment Li Yun ran in.
"Minister, the reinforcements have entered the city and the thugs have all fled."
"How many of us are injured?"
Zhao Tianyang asked.
"Most of the employees in the Ministry of Industry building are civilian staff. Although they have received firearms training, they do not have much combat effectiveness. Some casualties are inevitable."
Mr. Li Yuncai explained, and then replied: "A total of three people died and six were injured."
"Those who died were those who tried to suppress the grenades thrown in by the rioters."
"They're all good!"
Although he was already accustomed to death, Zhao Tianyang still said this with a hint of sadness.
"These people died because of me. Please write down their names. I will seek credit for them. Our Ministry of Industry will take care of their families."
"Yes, Minister, I'll go right away."
As the gunfire stopped, the time came to eight o'clock in the evening.
"Didi didi..."
When he heard the phone ring again, Zhao Tianyang, who was sitting on the chair, jumped up immediately and answered the phone.
"Minister Zhao?"
"it's me."
Zhao Tianyang asked happily, "Is there any result, Chief?"
"There is."
The elegant man said calmly: "The riots in various places have been quelled, and many traitors have been caught this time."
"Based on these clues, we have completely destroyed the intelligence bases arranged by the Kuomintang and Ma Hongkui in major cities such as Ningxia and Lanzhou."
"Great."
Zhao Tianyang was happy, but he also thought of the employees of the Ministry of Industry who sacrificed their lives for him: "Commander, there are several employees in our Ministry of Industry who sacrificed their lives to protect me."
"Do not worry!"
The elegant man was silent for a moment and assured: "Their sacrifice is worth it. I will report their merits!"
"Thank you!"
Zhao Tianyang said gratefully.
"You're welcome. You should also go to bed. It's already late."
...............
Light weapons research and development factory, at the main entrance.
“Do I have to take them with me every time I go out?”
Looking at the six soldiers surrounding him, Zhao Tianyang asked Li Yuncai helplessly.
"No way, Minister!"
Li Yuncai spread his hands and said, "Although the riot has been over for a few days, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking you, we can only strengthen your protection."
"Don't worry, Minister. We have always protected our leaders, so we will definitely be able to protect you!"
At this time, the captain of the team responsible for protecting him also hurriedly emphasized.
"Uh...I'm not saying that you are incapable!"
Zhao Tianyang sighed: "Oh... forget it, if you want to follow me, just follow me!"
"Minister, you're here!"
At this time, Liu Guifu ran out and looked at the soldiers surrounding Zhao Tianyang, wondering, "Who are these brothers?"
"Protect me, don't worry about it."
As Zhao Tianyang walked into the factory, he asked, "Didn't you say the light machine gun was ready? Take me to see it!"
"Yes."
Liu Guifu nodded and took Zhao Tianyang to the shooting range.
"Minister, please look, the light machine gun that the gun inspector is shooting is the one we just made."
Liu Guifu pointed at the light machine gun in the gun inspector's hand, which was constantly emitting flames.
“Are there any specific data?”
Zhao Tianyang asked.
"There is."
Liu Guifu walked to the table, picked up a form and handed it to Zhao Tianyang.
"Light machine gun:?"
"Total gun length: 1041 mm."
"Empty gun weight: 7 kg."
"Feed method: two 50-round non-dispersible chains."
"Caliber: 7.62X39mm."
"Theoretical rate of fire: 650 rounds per minute."
"Combat rate of fire: 150 rounds per minute."
"Effective range: 800 meters."
"Maximum range: 2000 meters."
"very good."
Zhao Tianyang returned the form to Liu Guifu with satisfaction: "If there are no problems after the test, it can be finalized for production. Let's call it Taihang Type 2 Light Machine Gun!"
"Row."
Liu Guifu nodded and asked, "Should we stop producing the Taihang Type 1 light machine gun?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and asked, "How difficult is it to produce this Taihang Type 2 light machine gun?"
"It's still a bit difficult."
Liu Guifu said frankly: "This light machine gun needs to use high-quality steel to ensure the strength and durability of the gun."
"At the same time, the processing technology of parts must be much higher."
"If it weren't for our workers, almost all of them have grown up, we really wouldn't be able to make this light machine gun."
"That's it!"
Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "The production of the Taihang Type 1 light machine gun should not be stopped for now."
"We were divided into two groups. The newly recruited workers were trained to produce the Taihang Type 1 light machine gun. When they were mature, they were sent to produce the Taihang Type 2 light machine gun."
"At the same time, we will also transfer the production line and technology of the Taihang Type 1 light machine gun to the arsenals built by the various military regions."
"Once they have the production capacity, we can stop producing the Taihang Type 1 light machine gun."
"That's okay too."
Liu Guifu agreed.
