Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

In fact, the performance of the Sten, especially the poor reliability, is compared with famous World War II guns such as Bobosha, but it is not as good as the MP18, the world's first submachine gun that was born during World War I, and is now the main submachine gun of the 15th Red Army.

Compared with the Chinese copycat version of the "Flower Machine", its advantages are very obvious. Its compact appearance and light weight give it excellent flexibility, and its low recoil allows it to move and attack on the battlefield.

It is very advantageous. Its rate of fire and power are also higher than that of the "Hua Gai", but its production cost is only one-tenth of that of the "Hua Gai". This made Liu Ding, who is currently in charge of the technical work of the Soviet arsenal, immediately give up the original

Hu Weidong made a final plan to produce the "Flower Machine" and then devoted all his energy to the testing, inspection, finalization and production of this "new" submachine gun. However, Hu Weidong easily designed such a useful weapon without using any advanced technology.

Liu Ding couldn't help but admire him, and he borrowed a famous saying from someone: "It is a very simple thing to design a weapon very complicated, but it is extremely difficult to design a weapon very simple."

Complicated things." It has had a profound impact on young military trainees such as Wu Yunduo...

Although the successful production of the Sten submachine gun made the arsenal a joyful one, Hu Weidong didn't care much about it. He didn't even give it a name. He simply called it a "made in the border area" submachine gun. Because the Sten submachine gun had a history of

The design is very hasty and has many major flaws. For example, bullets are easy to jam and misfire, which can kill people in actual combat. In addition, the ammunition used in the Sten submachine gun is the 9x19mm Luger pistol cartridge, which is the most popular in Europe and the United States, but in the Chinese battlefield

, due to the popularity of box guns, the most common pistol ammunition is the 7.63x25mm Mauser pistol ammunition. Considering that submachine guns are large consumers of bullets, the seizure is still very important to the Red Fifteenth Army, so Hu Weidong hopes to use the Sten submachine gun

The caliber was changed to 7.63mm, and the design was adjusted accordingly to use 7.63x25mm Mauser pistol ammunition. It would be better if the twenty-ring magazine could be used directly. Since Hu Weidong is not a firearms expert, he handed over this important task to

Wu Yunduo was hired as his first test. However, considering Wu Yunduo's current age, Hu Weidong did not put too much pressure on him. Not only was the time relatively relaxed, but he was also allowed to reduce production costs without increasing production costs.

Under the premise of speed, any changes to this gun type give this young man a great degree of freedom...

Because the production process of the Sten submachine gun is too simple, if the Soviet arsenal devoted half of its manpower to this, it would be able to produce at least thousands of them every month. Unfortunately, the bullet production cannot keep up, and this type of gun is not available in the market.

Hu Weidong regarded it as a short-term transitional product, so in the end he only allocated a small number of manpower to produce 5-10 pieces per day. But even so, this "border-made" submachine gun greatly enhanced the close combat firepower of the 15th Red Army.

Especially obvious in street fighting...

Although the Soviet Area Arsenal has ushered in a blowout period since its establishment, Hu Weidong regretted that when he continued his efforts and wanted to build a production line for mass production of artillery shells of various calibers, he encountered several insurmountable difficulties.

First, there is a lack of necessary machinery and equipment. Currently, there are only a handful of domestic arsenals with this production capacity. Although the 15th Red Army is strong, it is not arrogant enough to dare to go wild in big cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, and Taiyuan; the second is the mass production of artillery shells.

The required explosives, mercury fulminate and other key raw materials are much more than the production of bullets, and it is difficult to meet the demand by seizure alone; third, there is a serious lack of talent. This problem also plagues the combat forces that have greatly expanded their troops. Although there is no talent to

However, the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi Soviet Areas were probably established relatively late and the environment was very dangerous. The leaders of the Soviet areas basically had no energy to popularize education in the base areas. Moreover, the dozen or so counties in the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi Soviet Areas were mostly barren and backward mountainous areas, and the people’s

The literacy rate is lower than the national average, less than 10%. If Hu Weidong wants to select talents, he must first teach those young people to read. This efficiency makes him really speechless. He has to go north to fight against Japan as soon as possible. This

Where can I get it in time?….

"It seems that when the Red Army lost the Central Soviet Area, it lost more than just a piece of territory..." Hu Weidong sighed, and was deeply grateful for his foresight in taking away almost all the educated youth in the old Soviet area. At the same time, he was even more grateful.

He has strengthened his determination to "rob" talents wherever he goes, "Even if I get a reputation for this, I must speed up China's modernization and industrialization as much as possible..."

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, was forced to order the National Army in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces to switch from offensive to defensive due to the huge losses suffered by the National Army, especially the Central Army.

Xue Yue, the famous general who made great achievements in defeating the Guizhou warlords, asked him about countermeasures, "Bo Ling, now the Zhu Mao Red Army is at the end of its rope, but the Gan bandits are back again, and they are making a big fuss. You should have heard about it? I am Fang Today.

We are pressing forward step by step. If we don't first defeat the Red Bandits, stabilize the country, and gather the strength of the whole country, how can we fight against the Japanese? But I didn't expect that the Red Bandits would be so difficult to suppress. I wonder what Boling has to say about this?"

In fact, there are few people in the top leadership of the Kuomintang who don't know that the rise of the Red Army was mainly due to political issues in the national government. However, as an important general in charge of an army of 200,000, Xue Yue is not easy to get involved in politics. He only talks about military affairs and gives his own opinions.

Analysis, "Commissioner, if the battle reports and rumors are correct, this Red Bandit is not simple. If fewer troops are sent, not only will they not be able to destroy them, but a large part of the captured national soldiers may be bewitched by them."

, and caused its military strength to expand rapidly like a snowball. Therefore, either not to fight at all, but to fight, you must be sure of victory. It is best to use the momentum of a lion to fight a rabbit and concentrate an army of 300,000 or even 500,000.

Destroy them in one fell swoop.”

Lao Jiang frowned at once. Although the total number of the national army was said to be several million, the imaginary number of them was not a small number. The actual strength was only more than 2 million, and more than half of them were not completely under his control.

There are local miscellaneous names, and among the one million Central Army, 200,000 elites followed Xue Yue all the way to pursue the Central Red Army in the Long March, and hundreds of thousands more were blockading the Hubei, Henan, and Anhui base areas, and at the same time blockading and suppressing Xiang who stayed in the Central Soviet Area

The Red Army guerrillas led by Ying, Chen Yi and others also occupied more than 100,000 troops. In addition, the Red Army base area in northern Shaanxi also attracted a lot of national troops. In addition, at least the central cities always need to station regular troops, and some must be left.

The military strength was to deter local warlords and prevent the Japanese from causing trouble again. In just a few months, the 15th Red Army wiped out more than 100,000 people. The national government now did not say 500,000, 300,000, even 200,000.

It is difficult to draw out tens of thousands of mobile troops immediately. Thinking of this, Lao Jiang tapped the conference table with his middle finger irritably, "Should we just ignore them?"
