Although after testing guns, it was determined that all three guns were good guns.

But this time, not only the new regiment, but even the entire Eighth Route Army will all be equipped with this Type 56 gun family in the future.

So the decision to change guns should not be hasty.

In addition to test firing, it is also necessary to test its failure rate and actual combat performance under various complex conditions.

Three days later.

The new regimental headquarters.

"Report!"

Duan Peng's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Li Yunlong's expression moved when he heard Duan Peng's voice.

Duan Peng walked in quickly and gave Li Yunlong a military salute: "Report to the regiment commander, the sword squadron has returned from its mission!" ”

"Duan Peng, the mission is complete?"

Li Yunlong looked at Duan Peng and asked:

"How's it going?"

The task of the actual combat test of this gun, Li Yunlong handed over to the sword squadron.

Let Duan Peng bring the sword squadron, and the sword squadron will bring a company's five or six weapons, as well as 1 base number of bullets, and go to the devil to try a new gun.

At this time, on Duan Peng's back, he was carrying a Type 5 or 6 submachine gun.

As the captain of the Sword Squadron, Duan Peng's combat skills in all aspects are top-notch, and the new gun can be used quickly.

This Type 56 submachine gun can be fired in a single shot or in bursts, although it is a submachine gun, but the effective range has reached 400 meters, and it uses Type 56 rifle cartridges, which is very powerful.

After using the Type 5 or 6 submachine gun, Duan Peng didn't want to look at the MP40 submachine gun and M3 submachine gun he used before.

Duan Peng smiled slightly: "Regiment commander, I led the Sword Squadron to ambush a devil squadron 20 kilometers north of Taiyuan, and this devil squadron belongs to the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army. ”

"Fifth Division?" Li Yunlong's expression moved, "How is the battle going?" ”

Li Yunlong naturally knew the Fifth Division, and he was relatively familiar with it.

The Fifth Division is a well-known and well-known as the Steel Army.

At that time, the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division, under the leadership of its division commander Seishiro Itagaki, fought all the way from Pingxingguan to Zhongtiao Mountain, almost penetrating the entire Shanxi.

In addition to suffering losses in Pingxingguan, the soldiers were invincible.

In the battles of the past few years, the veterans of the Fifth Division suffered heavy losses.

Now it has been transformed into a mechanized division, and the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division is still not to be underestimated.

Li Yunlong had already received information that the Fifth Division had been transferred from the Southeast Asian battlefield to Shanxi.

Unexpectedly, this time the sword squadron went out to test the gun and met the devils of the fifth division.

Duan Peng's tone was full of disdain: "This fifth division is known as the Steel Army, it was ambushed by our sword squadron, and in less than 10 minutes of the battle, more than 200 devils were all killed, and our sword squadron did not have any casualties." ”

Li Yunlong nodded, the sword squadron could play this record, he expected.

The members of the Sword Squadron are all experienced in battles and proficient in special operations, and they are all top-level marksmen.

Coupled with the fact that it was an ambush and the firepower was superior, Li Yunlong was not too surprised to be able to play this record.

"How are these three weapons performing?"

Li Yunlong asked, this mission is not to eliminate the devil, but to try the performance of the new gun on the battlefield.

"Very good!"

For the performance of the new gun on the battlefield, Duan Peng gave a high evaluation:

"High precision, strong firepower, great power, and the guys in their hands did not malfunction in the battle, and the devils who were killed were basically shot in the head."

"Regiment Commander, when will our sword squadron be able to replace this Type 56 submachine gun?"

"I promise that the combat power in our sword will be improved!"

Duan Peng's tone was confident, as a sharpshooter, he was very sensitive to guns, a gun in his hand, basically he only needed a few shots to feel the quality of this gun.

Li Yunlong nodded, and suddenly his expression moved: "Duan Peng, why don't you sword squadrons be equipped with Type 56 submachine guns?" ”

Hehe, Duan Peng replied: "The firepower of this Type 56 submachine gun is much stronger than that of a semi-automatic rifle, and it can be fired in a single shot or in bursts, it can be used as a semi-automatic rifle for accurate shooting, and it can also be used for fire suppression in bursts, and the effective range is much farther than the MP40 and M3 submachine guns we were equipped with before, just equip this submachine gun, it can be used as a semi-automatic rifle and a submachine gun, how good is this?" ”

Listening to Duan Peng's answer, Li Yunlong's expression suddenly moved.

If the new regiment does not need the Type 56 semi-automatic, it will be fully equipped with Type 56 submachine guns and Type 56 light machine guns.

That firepower...

However, in this way, the firepower is stronger, but the logistical pressure of the new regiment is definitely not small.

Like the Japanese Army's five-round loaded Type 38 rifle, with 150 rounds of ammunition carried by individual soldiers, the rifle used for single shot can support a day's battle.

But 150 rounds of ammunition, submachine gun combat for automatic fire, could not withstand even an hour.

If the new regiment were now all equipped with automatic firepower, and the whole regiment would be put into battle, millions of rounds of ammunition would be fired every hour during the battle.

Even if Boss Chen reimburses ammunition and airdrops supplies on the battlefield, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the terrifying ammunition consumption of front-line soldiers.

"The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is enough to fight the devil's Type 38 rifle, plus the Type 56 submachine gun and the Type 56 light machine gun, the firepower is still overflowing."

"For the time being, the whole regiment will not be equipped with Type 5 or 6 submachine guns."

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong looked at Duan Peng with a satisfied expression:

"Okay, your sword squadron has successfully completed its mission, and when the whole regiment is replaced with new guns, your sword squadron will all be replaced with five or six submachine guns."

"Thank you, Captain!"

Duan Peng's expression was slightly happy, he gave a military salute, turned around and left quickly.

Subsequently, Li Yunlong called Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Wang Dehou to a meeting together.

It was determined that the soldiers of the new regiment would completely replace the five or six gun families, and if they wanted to change them completely, even the cavalry, artillery, and some logistics personnel would all replace the carbines with five or six half and five or six punches.

Even the sniper rifle is equipped with a scope of five or six types and is used as a sniper rifle.

Of course, there are snipers who do not want to change their guns, and they can also continue to use Garand sniper rifles.

The M2 heavy machine gun, the Bazooka, and the M1917 heavy machine gun continued to be used, and the Maxim, Garand, carbine, Czech, and Bren weapons were eliminated.

Boss Chen will not take back these eliminated weapons, so Li Yunlong is ready to use them to equip the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

Even if the independent regiment, the new second regiment and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the future.

They were also equipped with three-piece sets of five or six guns, and these American-style equipment could also be used to equip the militia.

In this regard, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou have no opinion.

At the same time, the data on weapons and ammunition reimbursed by the participating units have all been sent by the 129th Division, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

After the statistics of all the weapons and ammunition that needed to be exchanged and reimbursed were counted, Li Yunlong used a telegraph to call Boss Chen for settlement.

……

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

"Report to the Commander."

"The Fifth Division reported that an elite squadron of the Locust Army was ambushed 20 kilometers north of Taiyuan, and all the jade was shattered."

Chief of Staff Hanaya reported to Iwamatsu Yoshio in a solemn tone.

Kazuo Yamamoto and Masao Miyazaki stood aside, their faces a little solemn.

Although the 5th Division and two other divisions had already arrived in Taiyuan.

However, these three divisions were not under the command of Yoshio Iwamatsu, but under the direct command of the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji.

In addition, two divisions are stationed in Yangquan and Shouyang, and the engineers of these divisions are stepping up the repair of the Zhengtai Railway.

In the last operation, the Zhengtai railway suffered heavy losses.

"It's just a squadron of locust army jade, and it's worth making a fuss?" Yoshio Iwamatsu spoke in a leisurely tone.

Knowing that he was going to be dismissed, Yoshio Iwamatsu began to mess around, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and waiting for his retirement, and even the military aircraft of the First Army were handed over to Masashi Hanatani and Masao Miyazaki.

There are more than 200 people in one squadron, and the locust army lost more than 60,000 people in the last battle, which is equivalent to the loss of 300 squadrons.

The 5th Division lost a squadron, and it was just a drizzle.

Yamamoto Kazuki said in a solemn tone: "These soldiers with broken jade are all shot in the eyebrows, I suspect that this squadron was attacked by the new sword squadron of the Eighth Route Army." ”

After fighting with the Eighth Route Army in the past few years, Yamamoto also has to admit it.

is also a special forces, compared with the Yamamoto Special Forces and the Sword Squadron, the gap is very obvious.

And according to reliable intelligence, a number of mysterious special forces have emerged in the Eighth Route Army, and each special force is no worse than the special forces.

"Li Yunlong's special forces?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio's expression moved, and he finally paid attention to it, and his expression became a little solemn.

Li Yunlong's special forces won't come for themselves, right?

Knowing that you were leaving the First Army, you sent special forces to assassinate yourself?

Iwamatsu Yoshio also knew that he had done a lot of bad things when he was the commander of the First Army, and Li Yunlong would definitely try to kill himself when he got the information.

"Yes!"

Kazuki Yamamoto still said in a solemn tone:

"According to the autopsy report, the enemy is using a new gun, and the bullet model that appears is completely different from the previous one, and it is possible that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a new rifle with high power and high accuracy!"

"A new rifle with great power and accuracy?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio's eyes narrowed, but his tone was not much surprised.

The new weapons that appeared in the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army were not so surprising after more experience.

In this battle, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army used weapons of mass destruction covered by heavy artillery fire, as well as large-caliber heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 mm.

There is nothing surprising about the emergence of new rifles with great power and accuracy.

Even if the Eighth Route Army appears on the plane, don't be too surprised, it's expected.

If he is still the commander of the First Army, he will indeed have a headache.

But I'm about to be dismissed.

The Eighth Route Army had just finished a big battle and would not attack for a short time.

Let the next commander, Yoshimoto Sada, have a headache.

"Strengthen the defense of Taiyuan and beware of the infiltration of the enemy's special forces."

Yoshio Iwamatsu coldly ordered.

"Hey!"

Everyone bowed their heads in response, and their tones revealed deep helplessness.

……

Zhao Jiayu.

The new regimental headquarters.

The list of weapons and ammunition that needs to be reimbursed and the number of business settlements has been handed over to Boss Chen by Li Yunlong.

Now waiting for Boss Chen to arrange delivery, the Eighth Route Army just waits for the receipt.

Although after this battle, the new regiment did not expand by much, but the whole regiment was equipped with new guns with better performance, as well as a production line of new guns, and dozens of aircraft were earned.

This battle is bloody!

After the new regiment changed its guns, a large number of U.S. weapons and equipment were eliminated.

These American-style equipment can't be wasted, and Li Yunlong is going to take some to Ding Wei and Kong Jie for new recruits.

Other than that.

Li Yunlong was pondering how to pull Chu Yunfei's kid to his side.

Chu Yunfei graduated from the fifth phase of Whampoa, and Li Yunlong still appreciates this person.

He is educated, understands military affairs, can sympathize with soldiers to his subordinates, can faithfully carry out orders to his superiors, has a strategic vision, and has outstanding tactical command ability.

Chu Yunfei worked for Yan Laoxi and Principal Chang on the side of the national army, and Mingzhu secretly invested, which really buried talents.
