At that time, the military engineers of Zhengbai Banner developed a new type of bullet, which has excellent muzzle velocity and energy storage, and uses a bottomless edge design.

It also has good shooting performance on rifles and machine guns, and the recoil generated is relatively easy to control.

With the advent of the 7.5x54mm cartridge, the Army Elite decided to replace the original 8×50mm all-metal shell cartridge with it.

And the top management has also developed a grand three-step plan:

First of all, they were ready to reload all rifle guns to fire new ammunition.

As a result, the first step was not done, and those men with white flag feet holding the old Lebel and Bettier, were beaten by Sandezi's 98K and were about to scold their mothers.

Secondly, develop a new semi-automatic rifle and equip the army in large quantities in the future.

The result is obvious, the semi-automatic rifle is still a half-finished product until surrender. In the face of the attack of No. 3 and No. 4 on the ground of Sandezi and Stuka in the sky, the white flag directly clicked the surrender button.

One last step to plan. Before the development of a semi-automatic rifle is completed, it is necessary to build a large bolt that can be quickly developed, and it can also be used as a weapon for second-line troops in the event of a large-scale war in the future.

This step was completed, and the requirements for this weapon at the time of the army leadership were simple. It is simple and convenient to disassemble and maintain, which is convenient for large-scale production.

So there was this MAS-66 with a full gun and a bayonet, and only 66 parts.

However, this does not mean that the gun is rudimentary.

Thanks to the latest in R&D, through the analysis of trial and error in other countries, only what was really needed remained, it became a pure rifle.

Now in the military factory of the logistics department, there are many veterans who have worked for many years.

They have a certain cultural background, and they are proficient in reloading bullets, can rub bullets by hand, and almost all of them have experience in cleaning firearms.

In addition, the system provided almost nanny-level instructions, and under the leadership of the original director of the firearms repair plant, the comrades only took half a day to build three prototypes of the MAS-36.

In a sense, this is the first batch of new weapons created by the Eighth Route Army itself.

"The Bayi Horse Rifle did not begin mass production until August '40, and by '45 a total of 9,000 units were produced."

On the same day, Li Yunlong drove to the headquarters office, and before lunch, the deputy general manager received the MAS-36 produced by the military factory of the logistics department.

They tried the gun as soon as they received the gift, and the showy Li Yunlong also performed a semi-automatic human flesh.

After learning that the monthly production of this gun is not small, and there will be more and more, everyone's faces are full of joy.

After leaving the headquarters, Li Yunlong went to the brigade headquarters again.

Originally, according to Zhang Wanhe's intentions, one of the three guns was sent to the headquarters, one to the brigade headquarters, and one was left for further testing performance.

But when the brigade commander saw this gun, he was so happy that he wanted to go to the logistics department to see the production line as soon as possible, so our director Li Dachang finally got his wish and became the brigade commander's driver.

After looking at the production line, the brigade commander went to the "laboratory" before he had time to rest, and he did not forget who was the hero.

Since Huang He was still calculating a certain piece of data without sleep or food, a certain researcher from the "laboratory" received the brigade commander and brought the group to the office.

This office is definitely not neat in the eyes of outsiders, and even the walls are pasted with a lot of materials that ordinary people can't understand.

But Huang He is used to arranging it this way, and he can always find what he needs in the first place.

Looking at the office where there was almost no place to stay, the brigade commander was very emotional. He glared at Li Yunlong, who was a little complacent, and his love was still a little unstable compared to the Yellow River.

After discovering that a guest was coming, Huang He immediately cleaned up a reception area, and everyone talked happily.

Ten minutes later, the brigade commander, who did not intend to continue to bother, was ready to leave the "laboratory" and go to see the production line of the FM-24/29 light machine gun.

Before leaving, the brigade commander asked casually.

"When will our troops be able to use their own cannons?"

Who knew that Huang He, who heard this, came to his senses, and he pulled the brigade commander back into the chair and said.

"There will be in the future, but the current European environment is too bad, and the first European army will be gone in more than 40 days."

Looking at the yin and yang weird Yellow River, the brigade commander didn't know what he meant, and he said angrily:

"You just accumulate some virtue, it's not easy for others."

"In World War I, 1.5 million people were killed and 4 million were wounded, which is equivalent to a generation in a country with a population of only 40 million!"

"And during World War I, the most economically developed north was reduced to the main battlefield and was reduced to ruins."

The current brigade commander is still not breastfeeding, and Huang He had to say with some pity:

"Although the various types of tanks of the Gallic chicken had superiority in armor and firepower over the Sandezi tank, the Sandezi installed radio equipment on the tank. This gives the tank better mobility and enhances tactical coordination between tanks. ”

"Speaking of tanks, I really have to complain about the B1 tanks of the Gallic chickens. His turret can only accommodate one person, and the loading, aiming and firing are all done by one person, and even that person is the commander. ”

"The most unfortunate thing is that the mileage of this tank is only three to five hours a day, which is really the working style of a Gallic chicken. Do they expect the enemy to attack only for so much time a day? ”

"Most of these tanks were dispersed into infantry divisions, and Sandezi concentrated the tanks."

"It's not advisable to mix gold shields, comrades must keep pace with the times."

Huang He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and he really didn't have a high opinion of the Gallic chicken's tank.

However, their artillery is still very good, whether it is anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns, mortars or body guns.

"Next, I'm going to launch my own relationship and get some Gallic chicken cannon back."

In fact, in the land of China, the arsenals that have the ability to reach the level of European powers, Taiyuan, Fengtian, Jinling, Hanyang, these arsenals may not be able to innovate themselves, but their achievements in imitation are obvious to all.

For example, the 82-mm mortar of the 20th year of the Republic of China, which has made great achievements in many theaters, is inseparable from this excellent weapon because of its low cost, small size, light weight, simple structure, and easy operation.

Hearing the cannon of the Gallic chicken, the brigade commander suddenly came to his senses, and he remembered what happened at the end of last year.

"Last year, the devils independently mixed into the 2nd Brigade to attack our base area, and as a result, the commander of the devil's brigade was killed by our artillery, which is really relieving!"

"At that time, the artillery used a 20-year-old 82mm mortar made by the Jinling Arsenal. This cannon is a replica, can you get this production line? ”

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Huang He nodded, and he counted with his fingers:

"Anyway, the Gallic chickens are gone, and we don't have to worry about the production license now. After finishing the heavy machine guns, their mortars were my target for the next stage. ”

"When the time comes, I'll get all the 60-mm, 81-mm, and 120-mm mortars for us."

Hearing that so many caliber mortars would be installed in the future, Li Yunlong was so excited that his saliva was about to flow out. The brigade commander on the side also patted Huang He's shoulder and said:

"Don't laugh at the Gallic chickens in the future, people have contributed to our anti-Japanese war cause."
