Chapter 197: An Old Gun That Is Not a Stranger
The little devils transported this kind of old gun from the mainland to only equip a group of puppet soldiers, could it be that they were full of food and supported for other reasons, didn't they think that there was trouble with supplies? Although this thing is also a Japanese-made rifle, it can not be used with Type 38 rifle bullets at all, and the complex structure of this gun will undoubtedly affect the already low combat effectiveness of these puppet armies.2.3TT.
If the devil already distrusts Wang Tieshi, then it is impossible to restore or even enrich their strength in such a short period of time, and re-equip them with weapons including heavy machine guns. The Japanese army equipped the garrison with weapons, and the number of machine guns was always small, and the number of heavy machine guns was even less.
This time, he gave the Hubei garrison nine heavy machine guns at once, although they are old guns, they are extremely rare. But if you still have to keep trust, what can you do with this old gun? At present, among the reserve arsenal of the First Army, which has nearly 100,000 people, can't it be possible to take out hundreds of Type 38 rifles? Or does the little devil have something else in mind?
However, for Wang Tieshi, a hardcore traitor who has been beaten repeatedly, and his vitality is strong, Li Ziyuan also admires it a little now. has been beaten by himself many times as a bare-pole commander, and he can come back to life every time. Let the Japanese not only replenish his losses, but also repeatedly replenish his weapons and ammunition.
This can't help but say that this guy's wrist is quite unusual. At least on the surface, the devil has not completely lost trust. However, Li Ziyuan also observed another point, that is, the number of so-called advisers sent by the Japanese army to the puppet garrison has increased significantly.
After observing this, Li Ziyuan also understood that Wang Tieshi, although on the surface he was still deeply trusted by the devil. But the devil's trust in him has also been weakened to some extent. With so many advisers, it seems that the devil is going to increase his control over the garrison.
As for the Murata Type 22 rifle, the Louis light machine gun plus the Meiji 38 Type rifle was equipped for the first time in the puppet army. But these weapons are not very strange to Li Ziyuan, who is also well-informed. The pre-Anti-Japanese War squadron, known as the International Arms Expo, has all kinds of weapons.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, among the armies of various factions in China, because Japan tried to disrupt China as much as possible in order to meddle in China's internal affairs and win over some powerful factions. At the same time, in order to earn economic benefits, a large number of Japanese-made light weapons were sold to various factions in China.
However, because of their low price, Japanese-made light weapons are much cheaper than those of European products. The performance is also quite good, and the most important thing is that it is easy to buy. In addition, since the Beiyang warlords opened the purchase record, the history of equipment in the squadron is very long. There are a lot of bullets, and bullets are easier to find, so there are also a lot of equipment among the various warlords in China.
In this era when having a gun is the king of grass, and the wife can not need a gun but cannot lose it. In order to ensure their own strength, the armed forces of various factions, large and small, are desperately buying weapons. Warlords with deep pockets and wealthy territories buy Belgian and Czech original goods or new Japanese Type 38 guns.
Whether it was the previous Beiyang Army, the Lao Feng Army, the Jin Sui Army, or the Old Northwest Army, there were a lot of Japanese-made weapons or imitation Japanese-style weapons. Among the squadrons, Japan's weapons are widely circulated, and the number of them is too large to be overt, whether openly or privately, but it is more than the weapons of any country.
Although the largest number of squadrons is German-made caliber weapons. However, among them, the pure German products are far less numerous than the Japanese weapons, and only German-caliber weapons occupy the mainstream position. Although the number of Type 38 rifles flowing into China is large, they are not a recognized caliber after all.
However, not only are the various factions armed with a lot of Chinese and Japanese weapons, but even some units of the Central Army are more or less equipped with some Type 38 rifles due to the historical reasons of the troops themselves. Even in the Qingma Army, which is entrenched in the northwest corner and has basically never been out of the northwest, the light weapons are mainly 38-type rifles.
In the battle against the miscellaneous army, the Red Army captured a large number of troops from all sides, and was armed with Type 38 rifles and crooked machine guns. Among the Red Fourth Front Army, which mainly fought against miscellaneous armies, the number of Japanese-style weapons and equipment was quite large. In particular, the crooked light machine gun once made a lot of contributions to the Red Fourth Front Army.
Compared with the big warlords who control the wealthy areas or have their own territory, or because the Japanese are deliberately co-opted, they can buy or imitate the Type 38 rifles in large quantities. Because the style is too old and because of the use of tubular magazines, the structure has seriously outdated. So the Murata Type 22 rifle is very cheap.
Although it is a little backward, because of the price, there are also many small warlords who buy a certain amount through various means. Especially the kind of armed forces that have no background, no financial resources and miscellaneous cards in the territory, or bandits that have been co-opted. Although the number of equipment is not much, far less than the Type 38 rifle, there is a certain amount.
Just because of the special caliber of this rifle, even in the squadron known as the Arsenal of Nations, there are not many bullets available for this rifle. In addition, the quality is not very good, the tubular magazine has seriously backwarded, and only diligent maintenance can exert a certain power.
But as long as it's not poor, or if there's really no replaceable weapon. Otherwise, as long as you get even an old gun like an old sleeve, you will immediately eliminate it. However, if you really can't get a replacement weapon, or if you can't even get a home-made firearm, then you can only use it.
As for the Meiji 38-year-old heavy machine gun, not only did Japan make many of it itself, but the Jin Sui Army and the Feng Army also copied a large number of them. And the Louis machine gun, which used to be equipped with a large number of original British goods Sichuan Army, and the Red Fourth Front Army, which had been fighting for a long time, also had a large amount of equipment because of the large number of captures.
It's just that because of the special caliber of British-made ammunition, the number of equipment in the Eighth Route Army is very small. Although the Japanese army's 77-caliber bullets were all 77-caliber bullets, they could not be used on this kind of gun. For a light machine gun, it is better to have no bullets than a rifle with a bayonet.
Although these guns are all unpopular, they are no strangers to Li Ziyuan. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the squadron had a wide variety of weapons, and most of the world's rifle machine guns made by some influential countries could basically be seen. Among the Red Army, which had already started and fought by capture, naturally there were all kinds of guns.
The only difference is that weapons that are small in number and difficult to handle are generally buried or destroyed after they are captured or when they run out of captured bullets. The number of Murata Type 22 rifles equipped the Red Army was small and not very long. But even Li Ziyuan, who was not very old and did not have a long military experience during the Red Army, was fortunate enough to see this kind of gun.
Especially in the final stage of the Long March, when fighting against the poor people in the northwest, who are located in the barren land, those poor jingle three rings. Li Ziyuan has even seen the older Murata 13-style rifle, as well as similar products such as the German Mauser's so-called 13 Taibao and Nine Bangbang. Therefore, for the pseudo-Hubei County Garrison Brigade, the current rifle Li Ziyuan is no stranger.
He just didn't know what the devil was thinking. Since it's your own dog, you have to count on them to help. But how can you dress up such an old antique? Even if you don't give the 38-type rifle, you can make a rifle or a Hanyang rifle, and the big 6 goods in the puppet army should still be given.
However, Li Ziyuan is still very clear about one thing, the devil is definitely not untargeted to redress this puppet army with this weapon at this time. Because at least in the case of many options, there is no need for the devil to make such a move. And Li Ziyuan also knows that in terms of the character of the Japanese, there will definitely be a deep-seated reason behind this.
Of course, Li Ziyuan, who is now sighing at Wang Tieshi's skill, does not know that the pseudo-Hubei County Garrison changed into Japanese-made weapons, and it was manipulated by his sworn enemy, Tsuruta Nuanan. Wang Tieshi, the captain of the pseudo-Hubei County Garrison Brigade, scolded Tsuruta Nuanan to death.
As for Tsuruta Nunan's great kindness this time, it is definitely not that he has a high glance at Wang Tieshi. The meaning behind Wang Tieshi is still very clear. In addition to more closely controlling the pseudo-Hubei garrison, and firmly controlling this garrison in their own hands, they will serve their own tactics.
In order to complete the garrison launched by itself, instead of the Japanese army with insufficient troops, it went east to the Taihang Mountains in the eastern part of Hubei, adopted the tactics of infiltration and encroachment, and gradually advanced the Japanese army's control area in Hubei to the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains, and finally completely dismantled the so-called Taihang Base Area Plan of the Eighth Road.
Moreover, after a long period of research, this guy has now become a reliable source of weapons and ammunition for the entire southeast region of Jinjin. In addition to the fact that these puppet armies are not strong in combat, they have become the target of choice for the Eighth Route Army when fighting. In addition to holding on to some things, if there is no support from the Japanese army in the field, almost every battle will be defeated.
And every time it is defeated, a lot of weapons and ammunition are lost. There are also a considerable number of puppet army officers who sell weapons and ammunition privately in order to make money. Although the weapon does not dare to sell too much at once, it has no scruples about ammunition. Selling ammunition to the Eighth Route for profit, almost the entire puppet army in the southeast of Jin Province is doing it.
This has led to a situation in which the consumption of ammunition for each battle of the puppet army is very large. Whether it is 79 bullets or 65 bullets, many times they even passed the Japanese army. And it is not realistic to replace all the puppet army generals, because the people who are replaced are not necessarily better than their predecessors, not to mention that there are not so many people who can be replaced for a while.
These puppet army officers did something out of the ordinary in private, and it was not unacceptable for Tsuruta Numanan to do something. As long as it's not too out of line, he will turn a blind eye and get some benefits for himself by the way. After all, these guys betrayed their country and compatriots and took refuge with the Japanese just for the sake of glory and wealth. With the Empire still needing these people, he didn't want to go too far.
But if the dogs they raise don't care about anything for the sake of money, and the weapons and ammunition that the empire uses for them to maintain law and order and cooperate with the overall strategy of the empire have become a source of weapons and ammunition for their opponents, then this is what Tsuruta Numan can't tolerate. Especially in the eyes of Tsuruta Nunan, the Eighth Road has almost become a problem in the southeast of Shanxi.
Therefore, after several considerations, Tsuruta Numan chose the puppet Hubei County Garrison as a pilot and adopted the method of changing outfits to replace all the weapons of the puppet Hubei County Garrison with single-caliber weapons. In order to keep this guy working for himself with tight control over his ammunition.
