Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

At that time, the military personnel of Zhengbai Banner developed a new type of bullet. This type of ammunition has excellent muzzle velocity and energy storage, and uses a bottomless design.

It also has good shooting performance on rifles and machine guns, and the recoil generated is relatively easy to control.

With the existence of the 7.5x54mm bullet, Zhengbai Banner's army leaders decided to use it to replace the original 8×50mm full metal jacket bullet.

And the top management also formulated a grand three-step plan:

First, they prepared to re-chamber all rifle machine guns to fire new ammunition.

As a result, the first step was not done. Those white-legged men holding old Lebel and Berthier were beaten to the point of being cursed by Santoku's 98K.

Secondly, a new semi-automatic rifle will be developed to equip the army in large quantities in the future.

The result is obvious. The semi-automatic rifle is still a semi-finished product at the time of surrender. Facing the offensive of San Dezi's No. 3 and No. 4 on the ground and Stuka in the sky, Zhengbaiqi directly clicked the surrender button angrily.

Final step in planning. Before the development of the semi-automatic rifle is completed, a large bolt can be developed quickly that can be used as a second-line weapon in the event of a large-scale war in the future.

This step was completed. At that time, the army's top brass had very simple requirements for this weapon. It is simple and convenient to disassemble, assemble and maintain, and is convenient for mass production.

So there is this complete gun plus bayonet only AS-36.

However, this does not mean that this gun is crude.

Thanks to the latest development, by analyzing the repeated trials of other countries, leaving only what is really needed, it became a pure rifle.

Now in the military factory of the Logistics Department, there are many veterans who have worked for many years.

They have a certain cultural background, are proficient in reloading bullets, and can rub bullets by hand. Almost everyone has experience in cleaning firearms.

Coupled with the fact that the system provided almost nanny-level instructions, under the leadership of the original director of the gun repair shop, the comrades built three MAS-36 prototype guns in just half a day.

In a sense, this is the first batch of new weapons made by the Eighth Route Army itself.

"The August 1st horse rifle did not start mass production until August 1940, and by 1945 a total of 9,000 were produced."

Li Yunlong drove to the headquarters that day, and before lunch, the vice president and the others received the MAS-36 produced by the military factory of the Logistics Department.

They tried the guns immediately after receiving the gifts, and the pushy Li Yunlong also performed a human semi-automatic.

After learning that the monthly output of this gun is not small and will become more and more, everyone's faces are full of joy.

After leaving the headquarters, Li Yunlong went to the brigade headquarters again.

Originally, according to Zhang Wanhe's wishes, one of the three guns was sent to the headquarters, one was sent to the brigade headquarters, and the other was kept for further testing of performance.

But after the brigade commander saw this gun, he was so happy that he immediately went to the logistics department to see the production line, so our factory director Li Da finally got his wish and became the brigade commander's driver.

After looking at the production line, the brigade commander went to the "laboratory" before he had time to rest. He did not forget who was the major contributor.

Because Huang He was still busy calculating a certain data, a researcher from the "laboratory" received the brigade commander and the others and brought the group to the office.

This office is definitely not tidy in the eyes of outsiders. Even the walls are covered with a lot of information that ordinary people can't understand.

But Huang He is used to arranging things this way, and he can always find what he needs as soon as possible.

Looking at the almost empty office, the brigade commander was very moved. He glared at Li Yunlong, who was somewhat smug. Compared to Huang He, his beloved general was still a little unstable.

After discovering that a guest had arrived, Huang He immediately cleared up a reception area, and everyone started chatting happily.

Ten minutes later, the brigade commander, who didn't want to disturb him anymore, was ready to leave the "laboratory" and go to see the FM-24/29 light machine gun production line.

The brigade commander asked casually before leaving.

"When can our troops use our own cannons?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Huang He became energetic. He pulled the brigade commander to the chair again and said.

"There will be some in the future, but the current environment in Europe is really bad. The number one army in Europe has been gone for more than 40 days."

Looking at the strange Yellow River, the brigade commander still didn't know what he meant, so he said angrily:

"You should have some moral integrity, it's not easy for others."

"Zhengbaiqi suffered 1.5 million casualties and 4 million casualties in World War I. For a country with a population of only 40 million, this was equivalent to wiping out a whole generation!"

"And during World War I, the northern part of the country, which had the most developed economy, became the main battlefield and was reduced to rubble."

The current brigade commander was still not familiar with the law, so Huang He could only say with some pity:

"Although the various types of tanks of the Gallic Chicken have more advantages in armor and firepower than the Sandoko tanks, the Sandoku tanks have radio equipment installed on them. This gives the tanks better mobility and also strengthens the strength of the tanks. tactical coordination capabilities.”

"Speaking of tanks, I really have to complain about Gallic Chicken's B1 tank. Its turret can only accommodate one person. Loading, aiming and shooting are all done by one person, and that person is even the commander."

"The most outrageous thing is that the tank's driving range is only three to five hours a day. It really has a Gallic chicken working style. Do they expect the enemy to attack only for such a small amount of time every day?"

"Most of these tanks were dispersed into infantry divisions, while Santoku concentrated the tanks."

"It is not advisable to mix gold shields. Comrades must keep pace with the times."

Huang He picked up the cup and took a sip of water. He really didn't think highly of the Gallic Chicken tank.

However, their artillery is still very good, whether it is anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns, mortars or barrel guns.

"Next, I'm going to start my own relationship and get some Gaul chicken guns back."

There are actually arsenals on the land of China that have capabilities that reach the level of European powers. These arsenals in Taiyuan, Fengtian, Jinling, and Hanyang may not be capable of self-innovation, but their achievements in counterfeiting are obvious to all.

For example, the 20-year-old 82mm mortar of the Republic of China has made great achievements in many theaters. Due to its low cost, small size, light weight, simple structure, and easy operation, our troops can no longer do without this excellent mortar. weapons.

Hearing the cannon fire from Gallic Chicken, the brigade commander suddenly became energetic, and he remembered what happened at the end of last year.

"Last year, the Japanese formed an independent second brigade and invaded our base area. As a result, the leader of the Japanese brigade was killed by our artillery. It was really a relief!"

"The artillery unit at that time used the 20-year-old 82mm mortar manufactured by Jinling Arsenal. This gun is a replica. Can you get this production line?"

Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Huang He nodded, counted on his fingers:

"Anyway, the Gallic chickens are all gone, so we don't need to worry about the production license now. After completing the heavy machine guns, their mortars will be my target in the next stage."

"When the time comes, I will get all the 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortars for us."

Hearing that mortars of so many calibers would be fielded in the future, Li Yunlong was so excited that his mouth watered. The brigade commander on the side also patted Huang He on the shoulder and said:

"Don't laugh at the Gallic chicken in the future. He has contributed to our cause of the Anti-Japanese War."
