Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 64 Brigadier: Gaul Chicken is such a good person

At that time, Zhengbaiqi’s military industry personnel developed a new type of bullet. This ammunition had excellent muzzle velocity and energy storage, and used a rimless design.

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

With the advent of the 7.5x54mm bullet, Zhengbaiqi’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 of all, they are preparing to rechamber 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 Bétier were beaten to the point of being cursed by Santoku's 98K.

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

 The result is obvious. The semi-automatic rifle was 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 plan. 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 the MAS-36, which has only 65 parts including the bayonet.

 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.

 At present, there are many veterans who have worked for many years in the arsenal of the Logistics Department.

 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.

This can be regarded as, in a sense, the first batch of new weapons made by the Eighth Route Army itself.

“The Type 81 horse rifle did not begin 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 Li Yunlong, who loves to show off, also performed a human semi-automatic skill.

 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 intention, one of the three guns was sent to the headquarters, one to the brigade headquarters, and one 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 driver of the brigade commander.

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.

Since 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, so he can always find what he needs as soon as possible.

 Looking at the almost empty office, the brigade commander felt very emotional. 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 out a reception area, and everyone started chatting happily. Ten minutes later, the brigade commander, who didn't want to disturb him anymore, was about to leave the "laboratory" and go see the FM-24/29 light machine gun production line.

 Before leaving, the brigade commander asked casually.

 “When can our army use the cannon produced by ourselves?”

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

"There will be some in the future, but the current European environment 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 be more eloquent, it’s not easy for others either.”

“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 killing a whole generation!”

“And during World War I, the northern part of the country with the most developed economy became the main battlefield and was reduced to rubble.”

 The current brigade commander is still not familiar with the law, so Huang He had to 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, and loading, aiming and shooting are all done by one person, and that person is even the commander.”

“The most outrageous thing is that the driving range of this tank is only three to five hours a day. It really has the working style of a Gallic chicken. 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.”

“The behavior of mixing gold shields is not advisable, 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 of the 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 2nd 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 the 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, and 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.”

“At that time, I will get all the 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortars for us.”

 Hearing that mortars of so many calibers would be installed 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 from now on. They have contributed to our cause of the Anti-Japanese War.”
