    ¡°Da da da da da da da¡­¡±

    On the streets of Zhu, a series of machine gun fires continued to sound.

    A Japanese soldier hiding behind a sandbag bunker was using a machine gun to shoot at the Wehrmacht soldiers who were rushing towards him.

    Under his suppression, the National Defense Forces soldiers who were rushing here could hardly move.

    "Hahahaha, how about it, you damn Chinese people"

    Looking at the Wehrmacht soldiers being suppressed by him, the machine gunner smiled wildly

    Of course, under the sound of machine guns, his laughter would definitely not reach the street intersection dozens of meters away, and the Wehrmacht soldiers dozens of meters away would not be able to hear what he was saying.

    But even so, the suppressed soldiers still tried to take down the bunker

    "Old Liu, go to the roof"

    After trying several times but being beaten back, Li Nan said to his comrades on the side:

    The Japanese machine gunner on the opposite side was hiding behind a bunker made of sandbags. The semi-automatic rifles in the hands of Li Nan and others could not pose much threat to him at all.

    As for the grenade launcher, although the range of the grenade launcher is longer than that of the grenade, the distance is still a little different. Mortars and rocket launchers require a certain amount of time to aim, and at this time they will undoubtedly be exposed to  Within the machine gunner¡¯s field of vision¡­

    Although so far, rocket launchers are still a secret weapon in the National Defense Forces, but if your enemy suddenly takes out a weird-looking weapon and aims it at you, I'm afraid your first reaction is not to wait for him to make some move.  , but kill him before he makes a move?

    Therefore, letting mortar crews and anti-tank soldiers with rocket launchers come out to attack the machine gunners behind the bunker is basically a matter of death.

    Therefore, Li Nan can only think of another way

    Fortunately¡­

    What is happening now is urban warfare

    "I see"

    Before coming to Taiwan, Li Nan and the others had conducted landing training and urban warfare training, so the soldier named Lao Liu somewhat understood what Li Nan was thinking.

    So Lao Liu took off all the equipment on his body, especially grenades and other equipment, and slowly climbed up to the roof along some railings and other things on the wall.

    After waiting on the roof of the second floor, after noticing that the machine gunner had not noticed him, Lao Liu handed over a rope and the soldiers below tied a rocket launcher to the rope and slowly let Lao Liu  Liu La went up to the roof

    During this period, in order to prevent the machine gunner on the opposite side from noticing this, Li Nan and the others launched feint attacks many times to attract the machine gunner's attention.

    In fact, the effect of this was good. Maybe the Japanese soldier was too confident, or maybe he and his companions were so crazy that they didn't even notice that there was a Wehrmacht soldier on the building in the upper right corner, holding a gun.  Only the rocket launcher was pointed at himself

    "okay¡­"

    Of course, the fact that the Japanese soldiers did not notice Lao Liu does not mean that Lao Liu will not take action.

    After spending some time aiming, he noticed that the Japanese soldiers behind the bunker did not notice him, so Lao Liu fired the rocket from the bazooka.

    After being shot out of the rocket launcher, the rocket pulled out a long white line in the air

    In addition, the speed of the rocket is not very fast, and its sound is not quiet, so when it first came out, it really attracted the attention of the Japanese

    It's a pity that the Japanese don't know much about this weapon. Even if they do, they only appeared during the battle on the beach. In addition, the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were not the defeated troops on the beach defense line, so looking at this  Something pulling a white line was flying towards him, but the Japanese soldiers were still pulling the trigger blankly

    "Bang"

    An explosion sounded that was not loud, but definitely not small either.

    ?????????????????????????????? Lao Liu, the instigator of this kind of thing, Li Nan and others, saw an explosion in the bunker made of sandbags

    Almost all of the Japanese soldiers who were very rampant in this explosion were sent to the west. Even their accomplice, the machine gun, was also the same. Of course, the power of the rockets was not very important.  , so the machine gun didn¡¯t suffer much damage.

    After all, no matter what, a machine gun made of steel is much stronger than human flesh and blood.

    "Okay, rush over"

    Seeing that the obstructive machine gun fortifications had been removed, Li Nan said to his companions:

    On the other side, as a hero?Old Liu, in a state of being forgotten, climbed down from the roof with a rope.

    In fact, he had other options just now, such as a sniper rifle or something

    In fact, in the National Defense Forces, the number of sniper rifle equipment is not small¡ª¡ªalthough it seems that not everyone is qualified to be a sniper.

    But even so, a sniper rifle with a scope is much more accurate than a regular rifle, especially when fighting at long distances. Of course, the same is true for special battles such as urban battles.

    However, after all, it is impossible for a sniper rifle to kill several enemies at once. If you do it one by one, it will be easy to alert the Japanese.

    Therefore, Lao Liu can only choose weapons like rockets, which can kill the announced enemy in one go.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In urban warfare, the firepower configuration of the National Defense Force is obviously more reasonable than that of the Japanese army

    As far as the Japanese army is concerned, the only weapons they have are Type 99 rifles and Type 38 rifles, as well as grenade launchers and general light and heavy machine guns - especially weapons like the Type 38 rifles.  *********, this kind of rifle with only 6.5mm caliber has surprisingly low lethality. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese will equip the 7.7mm Type 99 rifle.

    On the other hand, the National Defense Forces are not only equipped with semi-automatic rifles that are far more powerful than the Japanese army in terms of firepower, but also submachine guns, shotguns and rocket launchers, recoilless guns and mortars, and even a small number of automatic rifles used for testing.

    Even the m1911a Browning **** used by the National Defense Forces is much stronger than the Southern Type 14 **** equipped by the Japanese army.

    Japan's Southern Type 14 Type Gun is an improved version of the original Southern Type Gun. It was manufactured by the Nagoya Arsenal. It was listed as a standard weapon of the Japanese Army in 1925. During World War II, it was equipped with general-level officers. The gun is commonly known as the "Tortoise Box"  In the US military, this gun has the title of "Oriental Luger", but not because of the superior performance of the gun, but because the gun looks like the German Luger gun.

    This kind of gun uses the southern-style 8mm bullet to aim at a longer baseline and has higher accuracy. The damage of the bullet is basically the same as that of the DUM bullet. Unprotected personnel are hit, usually killing or maiming, but the penetrating power of this bullet  It is very weak and can be blocked with 5 layers of quilts. In addition, the design structure of the gun must be strictly maintained to ensure reliability. Otherwise, the second bullet may not be loaded properly after firing, resulting in the need to manually load the gun when shooting stops.  It became a "manual ****"

    The designer of this gun is Colonel Nanbu. The appearance seems to be imitated by the German Luger P08****, but the design is relatively failed. For example, the firing pin is not hard enough and brittle, the firing is weak, it is easy to break, and even suicide cannot be guaranteed. American soldiers often jam.  Due to errors in the design of the magazine clip, the magazine is easy to fall off when shooting, and the bullets are prone to misfire as the distance is far away. The penetration is extremely poor, and even thicker wooden doors cannot penetrate. Eighth Route Army soldiers say that even if the Eighth Route Army does not have guns  I don¡¯t want to use this gun even if I don¡¯t have one. It¡¯s really a poorly designed ****.

    Of course, it may be precisely for this reason that the Japanese later designed the Type 94 ****. However, even the Type 94 **** had many flaws and could not compete with classics such as the m1911.  ***compared to

    Although it has a great advantage in equipment, urban warfare is not like a fortified battle in the wild. In urban warfare, equipment is certainly very important, but the perseverance and combat effectiveness of the soldiers are also very important.

    Because of this, the National Defense Force soldiers who rushed into the city in Bamboo City were simply unable to move even an inch

    But even so, when the two armies conflict, due to equipment and training, more people from the National Defense Forces survive.

    Of course there are exceptions

    "What kind of weapon is this"

    In Take's headquarters, looking at a weapon on the table, Ichiro Hirata asked the staff officer next to him.

    "This is what the soldiers below just captured in a battle"

    "As he spoke, the staff officer picked up the weapon, and then clumsily removed the weapon's magazine, etc.

    "According to the reaction of the soldiers below, this weapon has very strong firepower and can even shoot continuously. It can basically suppress our soldiers during the battle. If it hadn't been for a soldier who rushed in with a grenade later.  In the room where the Chinese are hiding, if they die together with the other party, I am afraid that the entire small group of soldiers will be wiped out"

    "so¡­"

    In fact, it is not unheard of for the Japanese to commit suicide with grenades or die with the enemy. For example, when the Japanese were defeated in history, the defeated Japanese army's military doctors on duty often left the hospital before leaving.  Shoot all the sick and wounded or let them commit suicide with grenades

    So I heard the staff officer say this,Hirata Ichiro was not very surprised

    "Then this weapon is"

    ¡°¡­¡±

    The staff officer shook his head and said nothing. Instead, he took Ichiro Hirata out of the headquarters, loaded a magazine with bullets, and handed the weapon to Ichiro Hirata.

    Although it was the first time he came into contact with this kind of weapon, Hirata Ichiro was still relatively skilled in aiming at a target outside the headquarters. However, when he pulled the trigger, he only tapped it habitually.

    Seeing this scene, the staff officer quickly said to the side

    "You try to keep holding the trigger"

    Hirata Ichiro felt a little strange, but he still tried to do what his staff told him.

    Then¡­

    ¡°Da da da da da¡­¡±

    A series of bullets were fired from the weapon

    "This is"

    After releasing the trigger, Ichiro Hirata looked at the weapon in his hand in surprise

    "This is supposed to be the so-called automatic rifle?"

    Thinking about what he just saw, the magazine was definitely filled with rifle ammunition, Ichiro Hirata thought for a while and said

    Hearing Hirata¡¯s words, the staff officer also nodded.

    The Japanese are not country bumpkins. It is absolutely impossible that they have never heard of automatic weapons.

    Of course, let¡¯s forget about stg44 because it hasn¡¯t appeared yet

    But in fact, the so-called automatic rifle was actually born very early

    The world's first rifle capable of firing continuously was invented by American Christopher Spencer in 1860. The butt of this gun had a hole that went all the way to the chamber. The hole was the magazine, which held 10 rounds.  There is a spring in the Dong mouth, and the spring force pushes the bullet into the chamber.

    In 1866, Oliver Winchester also developed a repeating gun, called the "Winchester Rifle". However, the repeating gun at this time could only push bullets into the chamber one after another, unlock the lock, and eject the shell.  The action requires manual operation to complete

    The first true automatic rifle was a rifle invented by American engineer H.S. Maxim in 1883. When the rifle is fired, the gunpowder gas produced not only shoots the bullet out of the barrel, but also causes the gun to produce recoil. Maxim used part of the power of the gunpowder gas to make the rifle.  The gun completes a series of actions such as unlocking, ejecting the shell, feeding ammunition and re-locking, thereby realizing automatic continuous shooting of the rifle and reducing the recoil force of the gun's impact on the shooter. Maxim modified and tested the "Winchester Rifle".  Finally succeeded in producing the world's first automatic rifle in 1883

    And what was actually installed was the Browning rifle

    During World War I, the U.S. Army entered the war and found that they lacked intensive firepower in the harsh trench warfare on the European continent. In 1917, a weapon designed by weapons designer John Browning that could be semi-automatic or fully automatic  The rifle was quickly selected by the military, quickly put into production, and officially named m1918 by the military.

    Because it was developed too late, only a small number of Browning automatic rifles were in service at the end of World War I. However, it was still welcomed by frontline soldiers for its high reliability. By the end of 1919, a total of 100,000 Browning automatic rifles were produced.  The rifle was copied and produced in Europe in the 1930s. As a light machine gun, it was welcomed by some countries. It was mainly used in World War II. At that time, the infantry squad of the U.S. Army adopted automatic rifles for squads, with 3 rifles per row.  To build a fire suppression point, the firepower of the infantry squad was greatly improved. The infantry had great trust in this automatic rifle. During the war, a total of 200,000 Browning automatic rifles were delivered to the army.

    Therefore, when Ichiro Hirata saw the power of the automatic rifle, he quickly understood what kind of weapon it was.

    Of course, another point is that Hirata once studied in China as evidence of the honeymoon period between China and Japan. During his study abroad period, Hirata was also influenced by the concept of the National Defense Forces attaching importance to firepower. Unfortunately, this concept is completely inconsistent with  It is suitable for Japan, which is resource-poor, so people like Hirata are naturally useless

    "But I didn't expect that they actually made it"

    Looking at the automatic weapons placed on the table that were somewhat similar to the historical AK47, Ichiro Hirata was filled with emotion and at the same time he was no longer confident about whether this war could be won.

    but¡­

    "Go and send a telegram to Tokyo"

    After standing there and thinking for a while, Ichiro Hirata said to his staff:

    "Let them arrange a submarine to send this rifle to Tokyo"

    "yes"

    The staff officer who understood Hirata¡¯s intention quickly nodded and said

    After the staff officer left, Hirata continued to look at the rifle on the table and sighed.

    "The Chinese have already used such weapons, but we are still equipped with Type 38 rifles. Can we really win this war?"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Wang Yaowu and others did not know that an automatic rifle had fallen into the hands of the Japanese, or it should be said that they knew and did not care.

    Because unless you are completely unprepared to use this weapon on the battlefield, it will be a matter of time before you are exposed.

    ¡°For example, in Pakistan in later generations, the Americans have been hiding a hidden version of the Black Hawk. Wasn¡¯t it exposed when they killed Uncle Bin Laden?  There is also what is claimed to be a stealth drone, which was also captured by Iran during use

    Therefore, from the time they used this weapon, Wang Yaowu and others were already mentally prepared that this weapon would fall into the hands of the Japanese.

    Of course, there is another reason for being so indifferent, that is, Japan's lack of resources is not suitable for using such weapons at all, so even if such weapons fall into the hands of the Japanese, Wang Yaowu and the others are completely indifferent

    Now what Wang Yaowu and the others care about is when they can take over the whole of Taiwan

    After opening a breakthrough on the coast of Zhu, the 13th Army and the large number of national defense forces originally assembled in Fujian have all launched an offensive towards Taiwan.

    After a large number of the National Defense Forces poured into Taiwan, due to their absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, the Japanese could only hold on to the few towns in Taiwan and prepare to fight urban warfare with the National Defense Forces.

    "However, while abandoning other areas, the Japanese troops who held on to the towns were equivalent to being separated by the National Defense Forces. Of course, there was no way around this. After all, the Japanese army was completely unable to compete with the National Defense Forces in terms of military strength.

    However, in this case, Taiwan¡¯s fall is only a matter of time.

    Under the fierce attack of Wang Yaowu and Dai Anlan, Tainan, Zhu and other towns fell one by one. In about half a month, the two men had taken over the entire Taiwan, leaving only a few areas with remaining Japanese troops to resist.

    On the other hand, because of the submarine that Hirata arranged before Takeru's fall, the Japanese have now obtained the physical form of the automatic rifle

    However, after thinking about it for a moment, Tojo and others wisely did not imitate this weapon because Japan's resources are not enough to use this weapon, but

    They took him and planned to make a deal with the Germans

    They can¡¯t afford this kind of weapon, but the Germans can afford it To be continued)
