See what the future of automatic rifles will look like.

Kong Jie has actually always had a dream of automatic rifles.

At the moment, it is necessary to realize that thousands of soldiers of the independent regiment have an automatic rifle in their hands.

With the current industrial level of the independent regiment, coupled with the strong enemy around, it is basically a fantasy.

The main thing is also impractical, even with a fully automatic rifle, it is impossible to rush like a machine gun, as if the bullet does not cost money.

If it weren't for the Eighth Route Army, why were there so few fully automatic weapons like submachine guns?

Without him, ammunition is too scarce, and he doesn't dare to use that style of play at all.

The Eighth Route Army even advocated that one bullet destroy an enemy, which stemmed from the helplessness and sadness of the scarcity of ammunition.

And the M1 Garand rifle mentioned in Kong Jie's order from John made Commander Kong one step closer to his dream of an automatic rifle.

The American-style M1 Garand rifle, as a semi-automatic rifle, is actually not uncommon in the Sino-Japanese battlefield.

The national army has a large number of orders from the US military government.

The M1 Garand rifle, because it is common to have a magazine fed by eight rounds, is commonly known as the big eight grains in China, and the gun weighs 4.73 kg.

In terms of weight, it is much heavier than the 3.95 kg Type 38 rifle and the 3.16 kg Hanyang-made rifle, which is a drawback.

However, as a semi-automatic rifle, the effective range is 500 meters, and the 7.62×63 mm rifle cartridge is used, not to mention the specific parameters and performance advantages of the gun.

At least from the aspects of range, accuracy, power, and ammunition capacity, it can crush the devil in all directions with an effective range of only 400 meters, a capacity of 5 rounds, a bolt-action manual rifle, and a Type 38 rifle that uses 6.5×50mm rifle cartridges.

The extra weight disadvantage can be ignored.

The devil's 38 big cover, in front of the M1 Garand rifle, can be said to be a younger brother.

The range is not far, and the power is not great.

The rate of fire of bolt-action rifles is far inferior to that of semi-automatic rifles.

You're still pulling the bolt after a shot, and people will kill you a lot.

"There are naturally disadvantages, one is that it is a little too heavy, and the other is that the eight bullets of this M1 Garand rifle can only be automatically ejected after they are all empty, which means that if you have a bullet in your magazine, you will not be able to continue to refill the bullet."

"But we soldiers don't want to say that it's a bullet, half a bullet is reluctant to be wasted. In addition, there is a certain metallic sound when the magazine is ejected, which can easily lead to exposure in some cases. ”

"Of course, for us, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, at least we can beat the little devils in terms of equipment with this rifle."

Detachment Command.

Holding a Garand rifle in his hand, Kong Jie demonstrated and spoke to the soldiers.

It turned out that John also knew the great attraction of semi-automatic rifles like the Garand rifle to the poorly equipped Chinese army.

So in the last batch of munitions, John sent fifty or sixty Garand rifles.

After these dozens of Garand rifles were distributed, they did usher in the amazement of the fighters.

In particular, those fighters who had only touched bolt-action manual rifles never imagined that the rifle could also shoot continuously by continuously pulling the trigger.

For this reason, many fighters who were not assigned to Garand rifles ran to find Kong Jie one by one, hoping to allocate a few such semi-automatic rifles as well.

This is also the reason why Kong Jie proposed to buy a Garand rifle when he met John this time.

Wang Leihu, the second regiment commander, said with emotion: "Regiment commander, if our main combat force can be equipped with such a semi-automatic rifle, then it is not like playing with little devils?" ”

Shen Quan on the side struck:

"What about dreams, this kind of firearm is also a treasure in the camp of the national army, we just bought some from the Yankees, and we want to equip a large number of teams, how is that possible?"

Monk Wei, who stood behind Kong Jie and didn't speak, smiled brightly.

It doesn't matter how many guns he has, anyway, good things must be indispensable to the guard company.

Who made me the pillow side of the head of the regiment...... What about the people around you!

Kong Jie said with a smile: "It is naturally not practical to equip the whole regiment, the bullet caliber used in this M1 Garand rifle is not common to the Chinese and formal Hanyang manufacturers that we commonly use, if it is really equipped in large quantities, it is estimated that we will have to get a special caliber bullet production line." ”

"This time I went to see John, but I placed another batch of orders to buy this Garand rifle, but the number should not be too much, about 1,000 pieces!"

As soon as Kong Jie's words fell, the eyes of the cadres at the meeting all became hot, and even their breathing became a little short.

"Commander, this time it's our second regiment's turn, right? You can't be the head of a regiment and take care of a regiment all the time, right? Wang Leihu shouted grievances.

Shen Quan glanced at Wang Leihu and said, "Regiment commander, I don't have much appetite, our three regiments have recently built an elite combat company, as long as we can match this company with a handful." ”

"Old Shen, what you think is quite beautiful!" Wang Leihu said.

Shen Quan didn't bother to deal with Wang Leihu, he just looked at Kong Jie with a blank eye.

Wang Leihu said: "Regiment Commander, if you say so, our second regiment will score at least two or three hundred." ”

As for the first regiment, since the head of the regiment is concurrently served by Kong Jie, Kong Jie naturally will not jump out to fight for himself.

However, the first battalion commander Lei Dasheng followed up and argued a few words, not to be outdone.

Who doesn't covet such a good semi-automatic rifle?

As a result, as soon as the head of the Kong regiment spoke:

"This batch of equipment has to be used on steel blades, compared to our base camp in the base camp, the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is even more severe, so let's send it to the fourth regiment first!"

Shen Quan: "......"

Wang Leihu: "......"

Lei Dasheng: "......"

As soon as Wang Leihu spoke, he said even more truthfully: "It's really a hell, this old king doesn't say anything when he is in front of him, and every time he benefits, he is indispensable." It's good now, no one is in front of him, and the benefits are still taken away by him. ”

Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, but he really didn't notice this, and then scolded with a smile:

"Look at your appearances one by one, you said that you are also the commander of the regiment, when did you see me and ask the brigade commander for equipment?

When did you see the brigade commander supporting the equipment of our independent regiment? ”

Shen Quan and the others were stunned and went through their memories.

That's really the case, Kong Jie really didn't say much, and asked the brigade headquarters what reinforcements he wanted.

In contrast, the leaders of their regiments also reached out and asked the old regiment commander Kong Jie for equipment, which was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Lei Dasheng muttered: "I'm the battalion commander, I need some equipment, isn't this quite reasonable?" ”

"First battalion commander, what did you kid say?" Kong Jie asked suddenly.

Lei Dasheng straightened up and replied loudly: "Report to the head of the regiment, I mean, who made the head of the regiment have the ability to you!" ”

"This is like a child from a good family and a child from a bad family, if the family is good, won't he be able to reach out to his parents!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu reacted and hurriedly echoed.

Kong Jie: "......"

Then he said: "Wang Huaibao led the fourth regiment and Han Feng to open up a base in Zhongtiao Mountain, which was the most difficult at the beginning, and this batch of equipment will support them, so don't think about it." ”

"But this Garand rifle horse will not be out of stock in the future, I forgot to tell you, I also bought a whole Garand rifle production line from John, although the output is not very large, if the materials are sufficient, there are still three or four hundred rifles a month."

Head Kong understated lightly.

The cadres were stunned for a moment, and then they admired the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, which was really like a surging river, endless......

A few days later.

John, who had reached a cooperation with Kong Jie, used American merchant ships to take the Yellow River waterway, and according to his usual habit, he had already dotted the wharf all the way.

Using all kinds of foreign vegetables as a cover, he secretly transported the arms purchased on Kong Jie's arms orders.

All the way to Shanxi.

After entering the country, Xu Fenggong, who was deeply trusted by the Japanese army, came forward to carry out some normal business cooperation with John on the surface, and then the independent regiment sent troops to secretly transport this batch of arms back to the base area.

More than 1,200 M1 Garand rifles were successfully obtained, plus boxes of corresponding 7.62mm caliber ammunition.

John was honest this time, and did not discount the arms order given by Kong Jie.

In addition to these Garand rifles, a batch of communication equipment needed by Kong Jie was also delivered.

In addition, there are seeds for various vegetables such as tomatoes, turnips, and cabbage that Kong Jie asked John for.

Using the seeds of these foreign vegetables, Kong Jie plans to expand the cultivation of vegetables on some of the newly cultivated wasteland in the root land.

In order to ensure that the soldiers can have a sufficient supply of vegetables in their daily meals, and there will be no lack of vitamins and some trace elements.

After the Garand rifles were delivered, Kong Jie left 300 rifles, and all the other was sent to the four regiments together with the transport team secretly through the transportation channel that connected the Zhongtiao Mountain area at night, plus some ammunition, food and other materials to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

Here we have to talk about the defense of the 47th and 41st divisions of the Japanese army in the area around Nakajo Mountain.

As time passed, after realizing that the Independent Regiment did not continue to send troops south, the precautions were much more relaxed.

Subsequently, in order to contain the strength of the Japanese army, Kong Jie reduced the pressure on the Japanese for the four regiments operating in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.

On several occasions, he sent teams south to attack and harass the Japanese army.

And tried to open up several secret transportation passages to Nakajo Mountain.

Therefore, the base camp of the independent regiment transported some supplies to the fourth regiment or something, and they all traveled at night through these secret transportation channels.

……

For the Japanese army.

Not long ago, after the disastrous defeat in the battle to prevent the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army from moving south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

They could no longer know exactly how many Eighth Route Army troops were hiding in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.

In order to prevent Zhongtiao Mountain from being developed into a second Taihang base by the Eighth Route Army.

The 47th Division of the Japanese Army originally stationed in Yuncheng and the 41st Division stationed in Linfen, and contacted the Japanese puppet army in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and launched a sweep in the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain again and again......
