Chapter 202 The Exclamation Caused by the New Type of Pistol
Of course, the difference in weapons and equipment between the two armies is also one of the reasons for their different performances. The performance of the weapons is different, and the considerations on the battlefield are also different. The advancing army guard regiment does not have weapons and equipment like the Anti-Japanese Alliance, no sniper rifles, and no armored vehicles.
, so the tactical considerations on the battlefield cannot be the same. I don’t have the sophisticated equipment of others, so I can only use my own equipment.
As a military expert, he could see Yang Zhen's troops at a glance as soon as they arrived. Not counting the infantry company Yang Zhen brought, the equipment was all the same as the ones they used to transport food for the advancing army. It had excellent performance.
In addition to automatic rifles and various machine guns, the guard platoon next to him alone had both long and short weapons on them.
It was not unusual for them to have automatic firearms with a weird appearance and a magazine inserted under the gun body. The anti-Japanese political commissar had seen automatic firearms as early as the year before last when he went to Yan'an. What interested him most was that this guard platoon was also equipped with
They had two Soviet-made sniper rifles. Each of their squads also had a gun. A strange, large-caliber weapon with unknown uses hung under the gun.
Although I don’t know what this thing is used for, apart from weapons, this well-informed veteran knows very well that no one would hang such a large number of big-caliber guys under the body of their guns. That would not only
It will damage the weapon, and it will also increase the difficulty of drawing the gun. If this kind of thing can appear in Yang Zhen's personal guard platoon, it is not only a weapon, but it is also very likely to be an extremely powerful weapon.
As for the rifles equipped by Yang Zhen's personal guard platoon, this veteran had already seen it once when he went to Yan'an for a meeting. But when Li Yanping went to Yan'an last time, it was because the Japanese army was launching an attack on Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province.
The military region was carrying out a large-scale sweep, but for the political commissar who could not leave his post and did not go to Yan'an for a meeting, this was the first time he had seen such a strange-looking weapon.
In addition to this weapon, each member of the guard platoon also has a pistol strapped to their so-called tactical vest on their leg, chest, or armpit. Although the location of the pistol is not a formal wearing method,
As a veteran, he can still tell at a glance that these pistols can be used immediately if needed.
Although this was the second time he had seen this kind of pistol wearing style on the anti-alliance troops. But every time he saw it, he always felt strange. Compared with the political commissar's curiosity about the way they wore their pistols, the commander was more curious.
The strange thing is that in their holsters, there are speed machines that are not popular among the security personnel of the domestic high command, and various shell guns.
It is not the Soviet-made pistol that I saw last time in Yan'an and is currently used as the standard combat pistol by their anti-league cadres, but a brand-new automatic pistol. The caliber should be nine millimeters, but judging from the shape of the grip
, a pistol with a magazine capacity that should be quite large. Even though he is well-informed and has a good understanding of the equipment of the major factions in the country, this is the first time he has seen it.
Already numb to the endless new weapons of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he is not greedy for other people's new weapons. For this veteran commander, although he hopes that his troops also have these weapons, they can play more effective roles in the battle.
Strong combat power, destroy more Japanese troops.
As a military commander, he hopes more than any of his subordinates to have modern and sophisticated weapons. Whenever he sees his troops who are short of guns, ammunition, and even bayonets, suffering heavy casualties under the suppression of Japanese firepower, he
Everyone feels sorry for him. But he is not greedy for others, especially the weapons and equipment of his old subordinates.
He believes that as long as he continues to persevere and try every means to build his own military industry, one day they will also have the equipment that the Japs have now. Even the equipment that the Japs do not have, they will also have it. If you are greedy for others, you might as well find a way.
Enhance your own strength.
Although he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Yang Zhen would definitely give him face. Not only would he agree to give in, but he would even oversatisfy the requirements of the internal troops. But he knew that he could not open his mouth, and this was not a big deal.
It's a question of being embarrassed to ask your subordinates because you want to save face.
For an army that grew up in a difficult environment and has never known what it means to have sufficient ammunition and complete equipment, the desire for new weapons and ammunition is much stronger than anyone else. But I can't say this.
Their body bones have not yet fully grown, so opening their mouths now will only weaken their nutrition.
The old commander just felt a little emotional that his subordinates were really different from what they used to be. Every time they met, he would always give himself a different surprise. Last year, he solved a large number of urgently needed equipment and ammunition for the major strategic areas in the pass. By the end of the year
Various instructors, as well as current tanks, aircraft, heavy artillery, and even the new pistols they are wearing now, which I have never seen in China. Each of these surprises is bigger than the last. Thinking about this,
The old coach couldn't help but sigh, this man is better than others.
In fact, it's not that this old commander is too strange. The pistol currently used by Yang Zhen's personal guard platoon is the latest Browning M pistol specially commissioned from the United States when the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade was refitting at the end of last year.
1935 pistol.
This Browning series of pistols was produced only in 1935. It was also the last batch of products designed by the Browning Company before the outbreak of World War II. The Nationalist Government, which has always been fashionable in ordering weapons, also once asked
Belgium has ordered a batch.
However, due to price, production and other reasons, as well as the outsourcing channels being cut off due to the outbreak of the European War, the number of arrivals was not large. These pistols were all equipped with direct lineage of the Central Army. Coupled with Belgian products, they have always been used in the country.
They are all high-end goods and relatively expensive.
Except for the Central Army, not to mention the miscellaneous troops in the Central Army that have no backing, even the local troops that generally have backings, do not have equipment. Because the goods arrived late, the quantity was not large. In addition, when the goods arrived, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had already reached an agreement
The agreement to stop the civil war and unanimously engage in foreign affairs cannot be captured.
Since this has not been captured, it cannot be said that it is equipment. Therefore, although the various units of the Eighteenth Army have a large number of Browning pistols, this latest Browning pistol is also the most powerful Browning pistol.
But I have never seen it. In fact, the troops in the customs are not completely without such pistols.
When Yang Zhen was in the New Fourth Army, he had seen dozens of such pistols in the New Fourth Army. He had also tested this pistol that he captured and used in later generations. Of course, this kind of pistol designed before World War II was used in
Although it has been improved many times in later generations, after all, the materials and technology have lagged behind, and its performance cannot be compared with the new pistols equipped in various countries.
However, its excellent original design means that this gun still does not lag behind in terms of accuracy and power. SWAT and special forces in many countries still use it as a combat pistol. As for some war-prone countries, it is even more because of its solid leather.
Its performance makes it a rare weapon compared to the Soviet-made Tokarev pistol.
It's just that this kind of pistol is a brand new pistol for the armed forces of various factions in the country, except for the powerful and wealthy Central Military Forces. Even among the Central Military Directives, they are mainly equipped with some technical arms and pilots.
Or officers and secret service personnel above mid-level.
Ordinary infantrymen are equipped with pistols, which are basically various shell guns or speed machines, as well as various original German-made and Belgian-made pistols. The dozens of Browning M193s that Yang Zhen saw in the New Fourth Army
The five pistols were purchased privately from Hong Kong by the army commander to solve the shortage of weapons when he was establishing the New Fourth Army.
Just because this kind of pistol was too expensive and the commander's personal financial resources were limited, he only bought a few dozen. The rest were Volkswagen revolvers and Spanish pistols. In addition to those purchased by the commander, the New Fourth Army's eastward march
At that time, a batch of such pistols were collected from ordinary people or purchased after the Nationalist Government's defeated army.
As a result, the New Fourth Army has the largest number of this new type of pistol in the entire army, and it was also the first batch to be equipped. It is just because of the distance between the two places, and these pistols are mostly assigned to cadres above the regiment, so the troops in North China have not come into contact with them.
Been there. Because when Yang Zhen worked in the New Fourth Army, he liked this kind of pistol very much.
The army commander gave Yang Zhen twenty guns when he returned to the Central Committee. Except for ten that he dragged to the Central Committee, Yang Zhen took the rest back to the northeast. Only the nine-millimeter bullets used in this pistol
, because it is not the mainstream pistol bullet in the country, so Yang Zhen did not bring back many bullets. Twenty pistols, only less than 200 rounds of bullets.
The pistols now worn by the security forces were commissioned by the Americans to import a batch of these pistols and some ammunition from Canada after Yang Zhen returned to the Anti-Japanese War at the beginning of this year, specifically for the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade. The reason for importing from the United States is
It’s not that this kind of pistol cannot be copied by the Anti-Union itself.
But at that time, the Anti-Japanese Alliance Arsenal, which was fully engaged in producing squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns, as well as various anti-aircraft weapons and recoilless rifles, had expanded its productivity to the extreme, and its production tasks were already fully booked. There was no urgent need for this kind of equipment at the moment.
There was simply no time to produce pistols. So I imported a batch from the United States for emergency use.
Due to price and ammunition reasons, currently only the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigades are equipped with tactical pistols, as well as some security units of the high command. General commanders below the regiment, including pilots and armored personnel, are still equipped with Soviet-made or anti-alliance weapons.
My own imitation of the Tokarev pistol. This veteran has never seen it, which is normal.
The reason why these pistols were specially imported for the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region is because the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region has great opinions on Soviet-made Tokarev pistols and their own imitations of the Anti-Japanese Federation. It turns out that the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region is equipped with Soviet-made Tokarev pistols.
Although the husband's pistol has a series of advantages such as high lethality, strong penetration, good reliability, and simple structure.
However, this kind of pistol grip specially designed for the Soviet army is obviously not suitable for Chinese hands. In an emergency situation, the accuracy of rapid shooting of this pistol is very unsatisfactory due to the grip. In many cases
, due to the inconvenience of holding it and hasty shooting, it is easy to cause the bullet to buckle or drift.
What makes the troops most dissatisfied is that this pistol has a small magazine capacity of only eight bullets. Compared with the Mauser pistols commonly used by the Chinese army, this ammunition capacity is still relatively small. Of course, this ammunition capacity
, it is sufficient as a self-defense pistol for general cadres on the battlefield.
As a general grass-roots commander or a battalion or company-level cadre, you can easily find rifles or submachine guns instead of pistols on the battlefield. As for the staff of the headquarters, the officers of the Political Department, and the associate coordinators of the Logistics Department, they are basically not on the front line.
Fighting. If the battle really hits these people and fights with pistols, then the result of this battle is self-evident. Therefore, the Tokarev pistol is enough for them.
However, for the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade, which has a pistol as a very important tactical weapon due to the special combat missions it undertakes, the capacity of this pistol magazine is still a bit too small. And due to the production process, a considerable number of
