"To be precise, this new gun is a family of guns, including semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns."
"These three types of guns use the same type of bullets."
As Chen Feng spoke, he handed the information about guns in his pocket to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
As before, the information is on high-quality paper, with a unique paper fragrance, and is in duplicate.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang took the information and started reading it. Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou and Zhang Dabiao all came over.
"Type 56 semi-automatic rifle?"
"Type 56 submachine gun?"
"Type 56 light machine gun?"
Li Yunlong stared at the information with a somewhat surprised tone.
There is not much information, mainly photos of the gun and its performance parameters.
The three rifles use the same caliber of bullets, 7.62x39mm rifle bullets. Judging from the photos, this gun looks better.
Currently, the infantry and cavalry of the new regiment are also equipped with semi-automatic rifles, but they are US military standard Garands and carbines.
The Garand's firepower and power are quite satisfactory, but its weight of 5.3 kilograms is still a bit heavy for the Eighth Route Army.
However, the carbine has been system optimized and is very comfortable for cavalry to use.
The new regiment's light machine guns include Browning automatic rifles, Bren light machine guns and Czech light machine guns.
The heavy machine guns include the Maxim and the M1917 Browning heavy machine guns. Both are water-cooled heavy machine guns with different calibers.
The large-caliber heavy machine gun is the M2, which has never changed. This large-caliber heavy machine gun is very powerful.
It is very suitable for shooting aircraft, attacking enemy tanks, and attacking enemy bunkers and gun towers.
Although Boss Chen reimbursed the ammunition, the New Regiment had more types of bullets, and the pressure on the New Regiment's logistics department was always high.
Of course, Li Yunlong is not that picky.
Compared with the poor and miserable days before, the life we ​​live now is called a fairy life. What does it mean if the logistics department is under greater pressure?
It’s much better than nothing, right?
and.
The ammunition of the new regiment was reimbursed by Boss Chen. There was some pressure on the logistics department, but not too much, because there was sufficient ammunition. Even the ammunition transportation speed of the logistics department could not keep up with the ammunition consumption speed of the frontline troops.
Li Yunlong can also call Boss Chen for airdrops to airdrop supplies on the battlefield.
However, Li Yunlong has been on the battlefield for a long time and naturally understands the importance of unified bullet caliber to the troops.
"How accurate is this gun family?" Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng with a look of extreme interest on his face and asked.
Li Yunlong joined the Red Army in 1927 and fought in more than a hundred battles. He was a sharpshooter and his understanding of guns was natural.
He knows very well that when looking at a gun, you can't just look at its advantages in certain aspects, but also its performance on the battlefield.
"The accuracy is very high." Chen Feng said, "Compared with the Garand semi-automatic rifle, the advantages of this gun are good reliability, light weight, strong power, high accuracy, and low failure rate."
Seeing that Boss Chen highly praised this rifle, Li Yunlong immediately became very interested in this gun.
Boss Chen's vision and knowledge are much better than those of him and Zhao Gang.
Boss Chen has only unlocked a new weapon. It is up to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to decide whether to use this new weapon or not.
After all, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have to take responsibility for the more than 50,000 soldiers of the new regiment.
If this weapon performs poorly on the battlefield, soldiers will have to pay with their lives.
"Brother Chen, is this gun the standard equipment of which country?" Zhao Gang stared at the information and asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly: "This is a weapon independently developed by my arsenal. If your regiment plans to use it, your regiment can use the quota of 30,000 Japanese soldiers this time to equip 50,000 Type 56 rifles."
"In addition, I will also provide 5 Type 56 rifle production lines and 5 bullet production lines."
"From now on, this gun family is a weapon independently developed by your Eighth Route Army and has nothing to do with me."
"In future business, there will also be production lines for Type 5 and 6 rifles and bullet production lines, as well as corresponding technical information."
This gun is originally a product of the future, and it was developed by the People's Liberation Army based on the Soviet Union's SKS semi-automatic rifle. It is suitable for semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns used by the People's Liberation Army.
so.
It is the best choice to provide the rifle production line, bullet production line and technical data to the Eighth Route Army and let the Eighth Route Army produce rifles and bullets.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of heartbeat in each other's eyes.
The quota of 30,000 Japanese soldiers is exchanged for the equipment of 50,000 Japanese soldiers. This business is very worthwhile!
This is not the point. The point is that this time there are 5 production lines for Type 56 rifles and 5 production lines for bullets.
This means that in the future, all the Eighth Route Army can be equipped with Type 56 rifles.
In the past, due to the limitation of bullets, the weapons provided by Boss Chen to the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were all American equipment, such as semi-automatic rifles, large-caliber heavy machine guns and light machine guns.
The equipment given to the 129th Division in Southeast Shanxi is all Japanese-style equipment: Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 96 light machine guns, etc.
The weapons currently used by the Eighth Route Army can basically be said to be made by all nations.
But if all the Eighth Route Army is equipped with unified semi-automatic weapons, the combat effectiveness will be improved by more than one level!
"Brother Chen, to be honest, I am very interested in this Type 56 rifle."
Li Yunlong's expression looked very serious:
"Do you have samples of these three guns? Brother, I want to try the guns first."
Li Yunlong knows that Boss Chen must have standard equipment that can provide 50,000 people at a time. How can there be no samples?
"Of course." Chen Feng nodded, "I'll arrange a transport plane to send a company of weapons and ammunition later."
"Haha." Li Yunlong said in a grateful tone, "Thank you so much, brother Chen!"
Next, Boss Chen discussed other matters with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others.
After finishing the meal, Boss Chen took Yan Shuangying and left the Xinyi Regiment and headed for his military base.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others sent Boss Chen to the entrance of the village.
afternoon.
Chen Feng sent Yan Shuangying to send information about the aircraft that could be redeemed.
Yan Shuangying took the intelligence information and rode to Zhaojiayu Village, where the headquarters of the new regiment was located.
…
Zhaojiayu Village.
New Regiment Headquarters.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, if we choose this type 56 gun family weapon, we won't have much business in the future."
Xing Zhiguo analyzed.
In the future, the Eighth Route Army will have its own production line for rifles and bullets, and it will be a large-scale production line, so it will no longer need to exchange the credits of the Japanese killed for guns and ammunition from Boss Chen.
Of course, it can also be exchanged, for example, a new group can be expanded to include 20,000 or 30,000 people at a time.
The Eighth Route Army's arsenal could not produce so many guns and ammunition at once, so Li Yunlong could use the number of Japanese he killed in exchange for corresponding guns and ammunition.
The price for exchanging Type 5 and Type 6 firearms is the same as exchanging for American equipment.
"This is a great thing for our Eighth Route Army."
Zhao Gang looked thoughtful and analyzed:
"Our Eighth Route Army has the most advanced guns in the world and its own military industry. Even if Boss Chen stops assisting us in the future, we will not worry about weapons and ammunition."
"Besides, I have a hunch."
"In the future, Boss Chen's focus on assisting our new group will be tilted toward the direction of the military industry."
Li Yunlong nodded. He actually knew in his heart that Boss Chen was using the New Regiment as a bridge to indirectly assist the entire Eighth Route Army.
The standard gun and ammunition production line should be just the beginning. In the future, it may also assist supporting military and chemical industries such as heavy artillery, tanks, and even aircraft and battleships.
Wang Dehou said with emotion: "Boss Chen has become more and more generous in his actions recently."
