These well-known opponents have entered the Provincial Consultative Bureau, and the Consultative Bureaus of the following state capitals and counties are naturally easy to control.Most of the clerks who have just become clerks from various places are locals. They have entered foreign schools and become clerks again, and they can be regarded as famous figures in the local area.

Those who were originally the most famous people went to the provincial council bureau, and the county council bureaus below were naturally controlled by them.In fact, Zhao Shouhong used an empty Provincial Consultative Bureau to tie up many celebrities in the province, and then took control of the real power of the local Consultative Bureaus, which was equivalent to allowing him to take control of Zhongchuan one step further.

In addition to these, with the help of the railway construction, Zhao Shouhong devoted himself to the development of the three major industrial zones in the eastern part of Xijiang, Shudu and Ningyuanting, striving to strengthen his own strength.Thanks to the participation of many engineers from the Western Continent and the help of various blueprints of the world's best firearms, the Zhongchuan Machine Bureau quickly sent him good news.A new machine gun that is better and lighter than the Madsen light machine gun has finally been trial-produced.

This kind of light machine gun is very similar to the ZB26 light machine gun of later generations. In this era, this kind of weapon is very simple and light in structure, and can be manufactured without too much advanced processing technology.Generally, technicians who have received basic training can use less machinery for manufacturing, which is suitable for Hualan's national conditions.

The machine gun is very sturdy and durable. At the same time, in order to prevent the impact of aiming, the magazine of the machine gun is placed on the side, which becomes a curved double-row oblique magazine, which is enough to provide [-] rounds of bullets. This is enough for the fire support of the infantry squad. enough.

According to Zhao Shouhong's point, the machine guns designed by these inexperienced designers are very perfect, the ballistics of the machine guns are excellent, and the requirements for the shooter are low.In addition, it can replace the barrel at any time, greatly increasing the continuous combat capability, and there are very few problems of jamming and blasting.

This [-]-pound light machine gun only needs two people to operate, and its actual combat performance and maneuverability far exceed the Mark machine gun with the improved bolt mechanism, and it has become the favorite of the factory guard team.Zhao Shouhong also liked this machine gun very much after looking at it again. He immediately decided to name this light machine gun the Zhongchuan Type [-] light machine gun, and rotated the gun [-] degrees to reduce weight. Nine-type heavy machine gun, used to equip troops.

In addition, three types of artillery with a caliber of 75mm, 57mm, and [-]mm have also begun trial production. These artillery pieces are mountain cannons and howitzers. Although the range is not far, they are very practical in the mountainous Zhongchuan and are very popular among everyone. like.

Chapter 239 Secret Army Expansion

To say that the fighters like it the most is the Type [-] grenade launcher.This kind of small weapon weighs only a few kilograms, and infantry can easily carry it. When using it, only one person needs to operate it, and project special grenades or grenades to a distance of hundreds of meters.

This weapon has no sights and relies entirely on the feel of the shooter, but even so it is still a supplement between mortar and rifle fire, and it has become a veritable machine gun killer.When the production speed of various types of artillery was lagging behind due to the difficulty of producing seamless steel pipes, grenade launchers also became a powerful supplement to fill the gap in firepower. Therefore, Zhao Shouhong ordered the troops under his control to completely change their equipment and change all formations at the same time.

Without the court noticing, Zhongchuan's army began to make changes.Although the imperial court did not agree to Zhao Shouhong's application for military expansion, in fact the military expansion still proceeded.On the surface, the number of the new army in the Seventeenth Town does not change, but in fact, the Seventeenth Town already has four "Association" troops, and the internal designation of each association has become a division.

The [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd divisions in Seventeen Towns all belonged to infantry divisions, and they were all formed in a three-three system, becoming a new army organized with an advanced foreign military structure.The basic combat unit of these troops is the squad, each squad has twelve people, including one leader and one deputy squad leader, and they control two groups respectively.

The whole class is divided into four groups, each group has three people. The first and second groups are the rifle group. To open a distance of 40 meters, the two groups cooperate with each other, and can launch a charge in the form of a combination of a forward triangular formation and an inverted triangular formation.This method of combat can effectively reduce infantry casualties, but it requires high training, but it is not difficult for well-trained former independent regiment personnel.

One of the other two groups is also a rifle group, but in this group there is a sharpshooter and two bombardiers, who specialize in covering the troops' charge to deal with important figures or fire points of the enemy.The other group is the heavy weapons group. They are equipped with a Type [-] light machine gun and a Type [-] grenadier, which serve as the suppressive firepower of the entire infantry squad.

The organization above the squad is similar to the independent brigade of the patrol battalion, but the weapons have been greatly improved.In the firepower reinforcement squad of each platoon, in addition to two Type [-] heavy machine guns, there are also two [-]mm caliber mortars.

Even the machine gun platoon was replaced with four Type 57 heavy machine guns and three 75mm mortars.The battalion-level gun battery has six [-]mm short-barreled infantry guns.The regimental artillery battalion was changed to an artillery battalion with twelve [-]mm mountain guns.The organization above the regiment has changed somewhat. Each division is equipped with three infantry regiments, plus an artillery regiment with [-]mm howitzers. The division's direct team includes a reconnaissance battalion, an engineer battalion, a military police company, and a communication platoon. , a supply regiment, and a guard company.This configuration allows each division, or association, to have [-] soldiers, as well as a large number of artillery and machine guns, which are strong enough to support the new Beiyang army in three towns.

The fourth division is the artillery division. Zhao Shouhong specially equipped this division with a large number of [-]mm howitzers and [-]mm mortars, making this division super powerful.However, they are inconvenient to move and will not be used easily. They are only used to strengthen the long-range firepower of infantry divisions in major battles.In addition, Liu Hongkui was left alone outside and formed a cavalry regiment. As a supplement to the mobile force of Seventeen Towns, they were also equipped with a large number of light machine guns, grenades and other weapons, and their firepower was extremely fierce.

As a result, although the entire 6th town still bears the original designation, the internal strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the number of soldiers has jumped from [-] to more than [-]. stronger presence.Most of the weapons for these troops are still not in place, but as long as the production of the Machine Bureau continues, I believe it is only a matter of time.

Of course, the imperial court did not know about these strengths. Today's new army is still announced to the public under old names such as Zhenxie, and most of its numbers are hidden to avoid being criticized.In addition, Zhao Shouhong used the weapons and equipment manufactured by the Machine Bureau to replace the weapons of the Independent Brigade. From now on, the light weapons of his troops will all be unified to the [-]mm caliber.

Not only the Type [-] light and heavy machine guns, but also the Type [-] rifles, which relieved the pressure on logistics.Of course, there should not be too many people in the patrol battalion at ordinary times. Most of these people are hidden in the factory guard team, the basic militia and the newly established railway guard team.

Since then, Zhao Shouhong has controlled most of the troops in Zhongchuan, together with the local militia and the factory guard teams, he has the ability to aspire to the world.But Zhao Shouhong is a cautious person, he is unwilling to take risks for a moment of pleasure, and let his years of hard work go to waste.So he still forbears, while strengthening the training of the newly recruited soldiers, and at the same time stepping up the configuration of weapons and equipment, while waiting for the opportunity.

The merits of the first righteousness may not be able to make people flourish, on the contrary, it is more likely to be a great success. Zhao Shouhong must endure and wait until the time is right before launching a revolution, because his goal has never been a mere Hualan country.

At the beginning of April [-], Opiyin, a strongman from the White Eagle Kingdom, went to Guanghai to perform his skills. He even uttered wild words, saying that he would fight all over the Houjin Kingdom, which angered people in the southern martial arts circle.Afterwards, many martial artists from local martial arts gyms in Gwanghae competed on the stage, and they were all injured by Opiyin, who was very strong and strong in resisting blows.

Seeing that he had won consecutive victories, Opiyin couldn't help becoming more arrogant, and he even slandered the people of the Houjin Kingdom, which annoyed a person.This person is Huo Yuanjia, who is also a famous hero of Tianfeng City in later generations. He was born in a family of bodyguards and inherited Mizong Quan, a unique family tradition.

Because of his high martial arts skills, Nong Jinsun took him very seriously.Finally, when he was [-] years old this year, Nong Jinsun brought him to Gwanghae to take over the Jingwu Gymnastics Club founded by Chen Gongzhe and Chen Tiesheng.Huo Yuanjia wandered for half his life, finally fulfilled his father's wish, and opened a school in Guanghai City to teach apprentices.

Huo Yuanjia had just arrived here, and Huo Yuanjia was unfamiliar with the place. In order to frighten those colleagues who were not convinced by him, and at the same time want to teach this wild-mouthed White Eagle native, he resolutely decided to go on stage.

Huo Yuanjia was weak and sickly since he was a child, and had severe asthma, so his face was sallow, and he was also called the yellow-faced tiger.Seeing such a small Hualan man with tuberculosis jumping onto the stage, Opiyin was obviously very dissatisfied. He felt that defeating such a person would give him no sense of accomplishment.

2 Chapter Forty

The traitorous Chinese comprador who was the translator also laughed when he saw Huo Yuanjia: "Boy, you sick bastard is also here to fight in the ring, I advise you to go back to recuperate quickly, even if you want to die, you don't have to come to this kind of place , the feeling of being beaten to death is not good."

"You don't care if I go or not, I'm here to fight in the ring, you should take over." Huo Yuanjia was unmoved, standing on the ring, his eyes were fixed on Opiyin all the time.

Opiyin exchanged a few words with the traitor, then shook his head.Hua Jian nodded and muttered something to Opiyin, then raised his head and said to Huo Yuanjia: "Master Yang told you to go back quickly and stop making trouble here, or I will be rude to you."

Huo Yuanjia smiled slightly: "It's okay to let me go back, as long as this stupid big man kneels on the ground and kowtows to me three times, loudly saying that he has lost, and that the Hualan people are better than the White Eagle people."

Hua Jian rolled his thief's eyes, looked Huo Yuanjia up and down, and then muttered a few more words to Opiyin.The Hercules Opiyin rushed over immediately with a roar, and Huo Yuanjia didn't catch the opponent's powerful straight punch, and dodged it easily.

"Hey, big man, even if you don't sign the life and death certificate, I won't be responsible for killing you." Huo Yuanjia said with a cold snort.

"Oh, since you want to die with all your heart, let Mr. Yang fulfill you. Let's sign the certificate of life and death before going on stage to compete." Hua traitor mumbled a few words to Opiyin, and the other party signed the certificate of life and death.Huo Yuanjia also signed, and then the two parties came to power again.

Looking at Opiyin whose stride was a bit messy, Huo Yuanjia sneered and said: "Since you are looking for death, I will do justice for the sky today, and let you know that Hualan people are not easy to bully."

"FUCK." Seeing Huo Yuanjia's sneer, Opiyin also knew that what he said was not good. This proud White Eagle country strongman cursed and rushed forward with a punch.

Looking at the oncoming straight punch and listening to the whistling wind, Huo Yuanjia knew that the opponent's punch was definitely not something to be trifled with.He turned his feet and used the Mizong Fist handed down from his family, but he just turned his body and let it go, the wind of the fist could not even lift a piece of his clothes.

Of course, if Mizong Quan was so simple, it would not have become the Huo family's unique skill. When Huo Yuanjia turned around, he stomped hard on Opiyin's heel with his left foot.Opiyin's feet hurt, and he almost cried out. The audience saw the two pass by without any contact, and saw that Opiyin's feet staggered, and his face was full of pain. Only then did they know that Baiying was in pain. The Chinese suffered a dark loss.

There was a burst of applause and laughter from the crowd, and they laughed loudly at the incompetence of the White Eagle people.Opiyin immediately yelled at the Chinese traitor translator.The Hua traitor translated to Huo Yuanjia angrily: "Master Yang said, you are breaking the rules. In boxing, you are not allowed to attack with your feet, nor can you attack the area below the dantian." Huo Yuanjia understood, and tried to use Hualan's customary vocabulary.

"Look, the big foreigners can't beat them, and they are starting to play tricks." Someone from the audience shouted, and everyone booed.

Looking at Opiyin, and then at the Chinese traitor translator, Huo Yuanjia smiled and said: "Although I use martial arts, it has nothing to do with foreigners' boxing. But since you brought it up, I don't use my feet." Now, lest you say that I am invincible in victory. I will also show you that even if you follow your rules, foreigners still lose."

Huo Yuanjia's bold words immediately caused a burst of applause from the audience, and among the soldiers of the White Eagle Marine Corps watching the scene, some who could understand Hualan also gave them surprised looks.They didn't understand why this dwarf was so big, and where did he come from so confident in the face of the tall and strong Opiyin.

After getting Huajian's translation, Opiyin understood Huo Yuanjia's words, and now he had no worries, and rushed over with another shout.Huo Yuanjia made a gesture of holding the moon in his arms, and fixed his eyes on the Hercules of the White Eagle Kingdom.Mizong Quan originated in Cangzhou, which combined the boxing principles of Tai Chi and Bajiquan, which were relatively well-known in the Hebei martial arts circle at that time. Not much in the way.

Seeing Opiyin rushing again, Huo Yuanjia didn't attack, but quickly switched his feet and walked around lightly.Opiyin missed his opponent, his strong body rushed forward a few steps and almost fell off.The feeling of using the wrong force made Opiyin very uncomfortable. He felt that he was being played. In anger, he suddenly turned around and went up again, but was dodged by Huo Yuanjia again.

After repeating several times, Opiyin couldn't help panting a little. He could tell that this little man didn't want to confront him head-on at all, and he probably planned to make him tired before making a move.Opiyin was not a fool either, he immediately slowed down his pace, waved his hands rhythmically, intending to force Huo Yuanjia to the corner of the stage, so that he would have room to display his strength.

Huo Yuanjia, who had been through battle for a long time, couldn't see Opiyin's thoughts, he smiled coldly, and rushed forward with his feet touching his body, unexpectedly attacking on his own initiative.Seeing that Huo Yuanjia finally moved, Opiyin felt a burst of excitement. He thought that his actions made the opponent unable to retreat, so he reluctantly fought back.Facing such a thin opponent, he felt that he could kill him with a single straight punch. Opian's face was full of excitement, and he shook his hands back and forth, looking for a favorable opportunity to punch.

Seeing that Huo Yuanjia was already very close to him, Opiyin waved his right hand and punched.He wanted to slam his fist heavily on the opponent's temple, but Huo Yuanjia saw the opportunity so quickly, he dodged Opian's fist with a short body, and even slipped through his armpit.The moment he passed close to him, Huo Yuanjia bent the middle knuckles of his right hand, and slammed on Opiyin's weakness with an inch of strength.

"Ah." Opiyin couldn't hold back this time, and finally let out a pained cry, causing the audience to burst into laughter again.Opiyin was furious, he waved his arms, and shot at Huo Yuanjia again and again, his two big fists like iron mounds danced like a whistling wind, making everyone in the audience sweat for Huo Yuanjia .

"Lie down for me." Huo Yuanjia gave way to the opponent's continuous punches, and deflected the opponent's body with four or two strokes of a thousand catties. Then he stepped forward and smashed the opponent's chest hard with his elbow.Opiyin stepped back a few steps, then clutched his chest in pain, his body slowly fell limp, and then knelt on the ground.

"It's a promise." Huo Yuanjia didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't kill him.Seeing that the opponent had already been defeated, he did not continue to pursue him. Instead, he cupped his hands towards the stage and the audience, turned around and walked down the stage.

Chapter 241 I'm Not Here

"FUCK." Opiyin finally regained his strength. Seeing that Huo Yuanjia wanted to leave, he cursed again and threw himself on Huo Yuanjia's back.

"Hero Huo, be careful." Someone in the crowd reminded him, and Huo Yuanjia immediately became alert.Feeling the bad wind behind him, Huo Yuanjia didn't look back, he was short first, followed by two sliding steps to give way to the opponent.Opiyin attacked with hatred, and naturally used all his strength.At this time, the punch was gone, but he couldn't hold his feet anymore.Huo Yuanjia bypassed Opiyin, put his shoulder directly on the opponent's back, shouted loudly, and used a kung fu similar to Bajiquan sticking to the mountain.

Because Huo Yuanjia was annoyed at his sneak attack from behind, he used all his strength when his shoulder was pressed against Opiyin's back.In this way, it was equivalent to Huo Yuanjia and Opiyin working together, and as a result, the fat Opiyin flew straight forward, gliding in the air for two seconds, and then fell more than ten meters away from the ring. Suddenly fell unconscious.

Everyone was stunned, they thought that Huo Yuanjia had accidentally killed the foreigner, and a commotion broke out in the crowd.Huo Yuanjia was also a little surprised. Originally, he thought that it was enough to let this strong man from the White Eagle Kingdom know the power of Hualan martial arts, and let him retreat when he was in trouble.But he didn't want the opponent to sneak attack from behind, and he used a trick in a flash of his head, but now the opponent fell into a coma and his life or death was uncertain.

"He killed Mr. Yang, catch him quickly." The Chinese traitor translator came to his senses, and he pointed at Huo Yuanjia and shouted loudly.Some White Eagle soldiers guarding the ring immediately raised their rifles and surrounded the ring.These soldiers of the White Eagle Kingdom are all guards in the concession. Although there are quite a few guards in the concession, they belong to seven or eight countries, which is not too many for the people of the White Eagle Kingdom. At this time, there are only a dozen guarding the arena. Personal only.

Although the American soldiers are small, they are the army of the great powers. In today's post-golden empire, no one dares to provoke them easily.Seeing the soldiers of the White Eagle Kingdom raised their rifles, the crowd retreated one after another. They were all worried about Huo Yuanjia, but there was nothing they could do.

Huo Yuanjia was also a little nervous. Originally, he just wanted to suppress the arrogance of the foreign devils and become famous by the way.But now it's no problem for him to become famous, but he has gotten into big trouble.Looking at the white eagle soldiers around the ring, Huo Yuanjia clenched his fists tightly.He knew that he couldn't be kind no matter what today, if he clashed with these white eagle soldiers, he would probably die.If you give up resistance and allow the other party to arrest you, I am afraid that the end will not be much better than death.At this time, Huo Yuanjia's brain was thinking rapidly, but he still couldn't think of a reliable solution.
