The Shosha machine gun itself was not light, weighing 9.5 kg with magazines, and with the Japanese-made bayonet mount and bayonet, the weight was more than two figures. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info with a body of bullets and magazines weighing about 10KG, and a machine gun weighing more than 10 kg to fight a bayonet? What do you want? Although the Shosha machine gun is cheaper and worse, it doesn't make you fight with a bayonet, you want to fight with a bayonet to give you a wooden gun!

Another thing that puzzled the French was that in order to improve the ability of the Japanese army to clear trenches, the French planned to equip the Japanese with a batch of Mauser C98 automatic pistols copied by the Spaniards. The power of the MP series submachine guns equipped by the Germans in close combat shocked the French, and now the Entente submachine guns have not yet been made. Or rather, there was no large-scale equipment for troops, so a batch of Mauser fully automatic pistols was urgently imported. Originally, the French intended to help the Japanese with melee capabilities, so they also allocated a batch to the Japanese.

THIS MAUSER PISTOL IS EQUIPPED WITH A 20-ROUND MAGAZINE LONG-BARRELED MAUSER PISTOL, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS MAUSER PISTOL AND ORDINARY MAUSER PISTOL IS THE BARREL LENGTH, THE LENGTH OF THIS MODEL PURCHASED BY THE FRENCH IS 300MM LONG, WHILE THE BARREL OF THE GENERAL MAUSER PISTOL IS ONLY 132MM, AND THE LENGTH OF THE GUN IS ONLY 288MM. Coupled with the shoulder rest made of the barrel on the back of the pistol, relying on the long barrel, this pistol can be used as a carbine. Although it is the basis of the pistol after all, it can't be compared with the regular German MP series submachine gun, but it is still a good melee weapon.

But the Japanese apparently didn't buy it...... In the eyes of the Japanese, this weapon is too big as a pistol, and as a rifle, the effective range is too close, after all, the barrel length cannot be compared with a rifle, and the bullet is still a pistol bullet. Pistols can be used as a weapon of self-defense, and rifles are more accurate at long range, and a gunner who carries this Mauser version of the carbine will definitely not be able to carry a rifle. Therefore, the Japanese think that their soldiers are good enough to use long-range accurate shooting to clear out their opponents, so forget about this kind of "half-high, not low" firearms.

"Very well, we have saved a lot of money on procurement, believe me, brother, sooner or later those stubby dwarfs from the Far East will run into heads and bleed in front of the German lines! They think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, but in fact there is no use except for wasting some German ammunition, and by the way, they also waste our rations! "Lieutenant Pierre, who was in charge of liaison with Terauchi Shouichi's troops, mercilessly satirized the conservatism and stubbornness of the Japanese Army in his conversations with his colleagues!

What is the saying? Artillery is the god of war. At least in the First World War, this statement is absolutely true, so rifles, machine guns, and so on, in fact, did not have much weight on the scales of war. The most important thing is artillery. Originally, the French did not plan to allocate much artillery to the Japanese troops, but soon, when making the plan, it was discovered that they did not have enough tanks to provide cover for the Japanese, and then a French officer with a conscience suddenly said, "It is okay not to assign special tanks to the Japanese, after all, we are not many." But if even basic artillery cannot be guaranteed, then does the Japanese army have any other role than to send them to death?

And Robert. General Nevelle put it another way: "We have spent a lot of money on these mercenaries and have enough equipment for them, and if we throw them away like this, we will lose too much, both economically and politically, ...... a loss." At least it's worth the money, right? ”

After contacting the Japanese side, and after learning that there were many "old gunners" in the Japanese army who had served in the Russo-Japanese War, the French finally decided to equip the Japanese army with a larger independent artillery unit. In order to make the most of the "surplus value" of these gunners.

Considering the current situation of the French Army, the number of long-range artillery and heavy artillery on his side is not very large, so it is naturally impossible to match the Japanese, the gunner is definitely a technical class, this thing is not like a machine gun, it is given to you, and you can make do with it after a few weeks of practice. Rather, it was necessary to go through systematic training, and now, the French, apparently, did not have the time and energy to familiarize the Japanese with the complete French artillery system.

"Let's equip them with a large number of 75mm rapid-fire guns, which are numerous, and even if the Japanese use them as large rifles, they can play some role." General Pétain said.

"AS A DIVISIONAL COMBAT UNIT, IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOOD TO JUST HAVE A 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUN? THE 105MM LIGHT HOWITZER THAT SHOULD BE THERE SHOULD STILL BE SOME POINTS, SO LET'S GIVE IT TO TWO ARTILLERY BATTERIES FIRST. In addition, if the French Army is in difficulty, then we, the British Army, are willing to supply the Japanese Army with some tanks. A representative of the British army at the meeting said.

The French had 2 large-scale tear-offs in a row with the armored forces of the Bavarian Corps, and more than a dozen small-scale tear-offs. Even if the opponent is consumed enough, the armored forces on his side are about to collapse ....... After the prince returned to the Eastern Front with his troops, the French hurried to recover, but the chariot is almost the most high-tech guy at the moment, so what can be said to be restored? So the French still had a relatively low number of tanks, and of course, what was even more fatal was the heavy loss of personnel.

In this era, there are very few people who have driven a car, and even fewer people have driven a car and a tractor! And the one who has driven the tractor and will maintain the tractor is the gold in the beach! As for what does it have to do with driving a tank and driving a tractor? It's very simple, the Frenchman's FT10 gearbox is the tractor gearbox ....... The pull rod is scary, and it will definitely not work without the strength of the handle. Considering the stability of the current tank, if there is a tank license level 4 exam, how to drive a tank accounts for 3 points, how to fight accounts for 3 percent of the score, and how to eliminate various faults and maintenance accounts for 4 percent of ...... points. That's right, you read that right, learning how to maintain a tank is the equivalent of a written exam in the future!

THEREFORE, THE FRENCH CAN GIVE THE JAPANESE A LOT OF SHOSHA MACHINE GUNS, CAN GIVE A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF HODGCHAIS MACHINE GUNS, CAN GIVE REDUNDANT 75MM GUNS, AND EVEN IN THE SPIRIT OF HUMANITARIANISM AND FACE ISSUES, THEY CAN ALSO GIVE 105MM HOWITZERS, AND THE JAPANESE ARMY WITH A LARGER ESTABLISHMENT MAY ALSO GET 155MM HOWITZERS. But want a tank? Save it! France doesn't have enough of this stuff itself, and give it back to you? How many French divisions attacked without tank cover? As for the training of Japanese tankmen? Maybe in the next six months, there are plans for this, but now? Forget it, in the eyes of the French, these Japanese may be quite brave in the war, but it is unrealistic to fiddle with high-end things!
