    Although the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region had completely changed its equipment to imitate the August 1st rifle of later generations, Yang Zhen unexpectedly chose the Type 63 for the next generation rifle of the army, which was very scolded by later generations and was very unpopular in the army.  Rifles are not just for the hand-to-hand combat that is still unavoidable at the moment.  ¡¾.Com text /text//

    ???????????? This is because the performance of the Type 63 rifle is still excellent, and its shooting accuracy far exceeds that of ordinary rifles. Both its power and rate of fire were extremely outstanding in the era when it was designed.  Its performance is far from being as bad as imagined, and its performance is no less than the AK 47 automatic rifle and SKS semi-automatic rifle.  Moreover, burst firing has been added, which can achieve both continuous firing and burst firing of energy-saving ammunition.

    As for later generations, the reason why this rifle received such bad reviews is that this rifle was born at the wrong time.  When it was designed, it was catching up with the Great Leap Forward.  At the time of large-scale mass production, it was also catching up with the Cultural Revolution.  With large and small arsenals all over the country launching at the same time, there is no one to supervise the specifications and standards during design.  .

    ¡° Moreover, in order to keep up with the schedule, each arsenal not only made shoddy products, but also simplified a large number of necessary production processes on their own.  As a result, after being issued to the troops, accidents occurred frequently with this kind of automatic rifle with good performance.  As a result, almost no one in the army was willing to take them, and they even shouted retrograde slogans such as giving me semi-automatics.

    During the war against Vietnam, it also led to the re-equipment of the 56-type semi-automatic troops. When the Vietnamese army was exclusively equipped with the AK series and the 56-type automatic rifles that China had aided Vietnam in the early years, the individual firepower was completely at a disadvantage.  Later, another batch was produced urgently, and a batch of relatively standardized Type 63 rifles were withdrawn from the inventory after disassembly, and they were urgently reissued for some frontline troops.

    These Type 63 rifles were converted into Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, and they shone brightly in the later stages of the counterattack against Vietnam.  Once, two rifles fired cross-handedly, suppressing a machine gun fire point of the Vietnamese army.  Only his performance on the battlefield at this time restored some reputation, but there was no way back.

    In fact, the performance of this rifle is quite excellent. Its basic performance exceeds the AK 47 and M 14 automatic rifles widely equipped by the United States and the Soviet Union.  Yang Zhen once tried rifles produced before, during and after the Cultural Revolution.  I can only lament that this automatic rifle with excellent performance but untimely birth was not destroyed on the battlefield, but was unlucky in the production factory.

    The drawings that Yang Zhen submitted to the Ministry of Military Industry were the original drawings before the Cultural Revolution that were improved by his old troops during training.  It is an unforgivable crime for other troops to modify their weapons without authorization.  But in Yang Zhen's army, you can modify the guns according to your own needs.

    Moreover, Yang Zhen's army has quite a few firearms experts. The Type 63 rifle improved by these people, in addition to maintaining the original high-precision shooting level and reliable action, has long lost the previous loose stock, receiver, and  The barrel is easily deformed, and may even emit sparks backwards when shooting.

    In fact, there are not many designs that can be changed for the Type 63 rifle produced in strict accordance with the original drawings before the Cultural Revolution, except that the wooden stock is easy to crack and the 30-round magazine of the Type 56 automatic rifle cannot be used.  If the Type 63 rifles produced later were produced strictly in accordance with the original drawings, they might not have the fate they knew.

    When Yang Zhen's troops were performing secret missions, the officers and soldiers felt that the newly installed Type 88 sniper rifles had low penetrating power, and they did not like to use the Type 85 sniper rifles.  Then the scope of the Type 88 sniper rifle was installed on the Type 63 automatic rifle and used as a sniper rifle.  Because no matter how many shortcomings this gun has, there is one advantage that is difficult to match with ordinary rifles.  That¡¯s high accuracy at high rates of fire.

    When the Type 63 rifle was designed, the combat environment was very different from the war environment the squadron had experienced.  Countries around the world are generally equipped with short automatic rifles and even small-caliber rifles.  With hand-to-hand combat almost non-existent, the Type 63 rifle, which is designed based on a semi-automatic rifle and looks similar to a manual rifle, has lagged behind the entire world trend.

    But now, when fighting against the Japanese army, which has been strictly trained in hand-to-hand combat and whose close combat level can be said to be the best in the world, it is still difficult to completely avoid hand-to-hand combat.  This automatic rifle designed based on a semi-automatic rifle is absolutely suitable for the current battlefield situation.  Especially in close combat, compared with the manual rifles commonly equipped by the Japanese army, the firepower is fierce.  The lethality of its triangular bayonet far exceeded that of the sword-shaped bayonet used by the Japanese army.

    However, although this rifle has excellent performance, it is not the most urgently needed product right now.  For the troops, the most urgent problem now is to solve the shortage of anti-aircraft weapons and choose a weapon and equipment that can replace the outdated 37 anti-tank guns, rather than upgrading the rifles.

    Compared with anti-aircraft weapons and recoilless guns, Yang Zhen put the replacement of this weapon a year later.  And Yang Zhen doesn¡¯t plan to produce everything domestically.??Yang Zhen has decided to allocate 10 million U.S. dollars from the cash paid by the Americans to specifically order a batch of such rifles from the United States.  In the middle of next year, all the remaining deposits after the end of the contract will be used to order this rifle.

    According to Yang Zhen¡¯s estimation, this cash plus the contract deposit can purchase at least 600,000 Type 63 rifles.  The quantity is sufficient to ensure that the entire army can be refitted at one time and maintain a certain amount of reserves.  The imitation August 1 light machine gun that replaces the hybrid light machine gun currently equipped by the army, and the 7.62mm intermediate bullet used in this rifle will eventually be placed in the country.

    In order to equip the direct reconnaissance brigade, the imitation Type 81 light machine gun had been trial-produced before the end of last year.  Production continued until this battle.  It was not until the outbreak of the war that all production capacity was converted to ammunition production in order to ensure the supply of ammunition, and production was finally temporarily suspended.

    Now that the battle is coming to an end, once the steel materials provided by the United States such as this light machine gun and pk general machine gun arrive, large-scale mass production will begin.  When the Type 63 automatic rifles ordered from the United States arrive in the middle of next year, the entire army will be re-equipped collectively.  By then, the infantry firepower of the entire army will far exceed that of the Japanese army.

    After this battle, except for the small-scale production of 65, 77 and other Japanese-style caliber bullets to meet the needs of the customs forces, all Japanese-style bullets will be discontinued.  The troops' daily training will temporarily use the inventory.  As for the Polish-made light weapons imported from the Soviet Union, Yang Zhen has decided to airlift them all to Yan'an at the end of the year, together with the Japanese weapons seized in this battle.

    ??For the troops inside the pass, especially the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Taihang and Shandong military regions.  In order to obtain the cooperation of the troops within the pass, the land passage from the Jidong Military Region to the pass will be opened as soon as possible.  Yang Zhen is in great need of new recruits now.  Air transportation of all troops transferred from within the customs is not only extremely expensive, but also unsafe.  Establishing land connections as soon as possible is the ultimate solution to the problem.

    Without the cooperation of the relevant teams, it would be difficult to achieve this goal by relying on one's own strength alone.  Now Yang Zhen's men are lacking everything, but the most lacking thing is reserve soldiers.  In just three months of fighting, almost all men of appropriate age in the base area were conscripted.

    To open up the connection with the pass, it almost means to recover most of the Northeast.  The cost of conducting such a battle will be even greater, and it is simply impossible to achieve it with the strength of Yang Zhen's current troops.  This is also the reason why Yang Zhen disrupted his original plan and replaced himself with an automatic rifle in advance.

    But right now, Yang Zhen does not plan to produce in China.  Even if all the American equipment arrives, the construction of the arsenal will still take time.  Since the arsenal will be fully committed to producing enough machine guns for troops to replace and have a certain reserve, and the main focus will be on artillery production, Yang Zhen feels that ordering rifles from the United States is still appropriate.

    Peng Dingjie, who returned to Chongqing with the American business delegation and will return to the United States to supervise the execution of the contract and treat illnesses, as well as recruit talents, has already taken away the original drawings of this rifle.  The test here is just to come up with data that convinces everyone.  For this kind of rifle "designed" by himself, Yang Zhen still has confidence.  After all, this was the rifle he had used.

    ¡°And in Yang Zhen¡¯s view, his own arsenal now has neither the ability nor enough raw materials to produce all 600,000 such rifles that meet his needs within a year.  Except for countries like the United States, which can easily produce millions of rifles within a year with guaranteed quality and quantity, no other country in the world has this production capacity.

    Although I had to pay some precious foreign exchange, I gained time to change my clothes.  And for all weapons, the light weapons with the largest production volume and the largest number of equipment are the least in need of confidentiality.  Because such weapons can be captured at any time on the battlefield.

    Although a large amount of military equipment was ordered from the United States this time, especially a number of world-class cutting machine tools and stamping equipment.  But the growth of the military industry is a rather slow process.  To backfire will only make this rifle, which has also traveled through time, repeat the same mistakes in future generations.

    Even when sending Peng Dingjie on the plane, Yang Zhen quietly told Peng Dingjie that not a single pin in the original design of the rifle could be changed.  How you design it yourself will be produced by the Americans.  Although the Americans have not yet agreed to export weapons to them, Major Pearson has promised to let his father's family help mediate.

    Because Yang Zhen has promised that half of the 600,000 rifles, or 300,000, will be produced by the Colt Arms Company, in which his father's family holds a considerable share.  As for the others, Yang Zhen is going to order them from Winchester Company.

    There is already a long-term plan for the replacement of light weapons. For the Ministry of Military Industry, the replacement of the Sanqi anti-tank gun, especially when large-scale military construction is about to begin, soThe necessary air defense equipment has now become a top priority.

    Therefore, Yang Zhen was eager to urge the Ministry of Military Industry to quickly come up with a result.  In order to prepare for the war after the middle of next year, we can also protect the upcoming military factories, steel plants, automobile manufacturing plants, tank manufacturing plants, as well as aircraft manufacturing plants and oil refineries.  There are also a series of important targets and big cities planned for the future, such as oil fields and power plants.
