Rebirth of the National Marshal

Speaking of the Type 99 light machine gun, General Ogasawara was also very angry. At that time, the army discussed whether to imitate the Czech light machine gun or to manufacture this type of light machine gun on their own.

The army was divided into two factions. General Ogasawara's father was the one who tried hard to imitate the Czech light machine gun. At that time, the firepower was already very obvious. The Czech light machine gun was definitely much better than the Type 99 light machine gun, and the bullets rarely jammed. The most important thing was that it was designed to be sustainable. The Type 99 light machine gun needed people to put bullets into it little by little, and it required two people. Every extra person on the battlefield could greatly improve combat effectiveness.

Back then, it was because of those face-saving guys that the military industry must be domestically produced and cannot rely on other countries. But what does it matter? We are all imitations, so we don’t need to stop our research!

The Czech light machine gun is now showing its prowess on the battlefield. Many of our soldiers are using captured machine guns from other countries to fight. Isn't this a shame? No matter how good you brag about something, you still have to verify it on the battlefield. It is obvious that the soldiers now trust the Czech machine gun more and disdain our Type 99 light machine gun because they have long seen through the uselessness of this machine gun.

General Ogasawara was one of the few high-ranking Japanese military officials who noticed the shortage of weapons in the army. Even if other generals noticed it, they would not say it out loud, because General Ogasawara was originally a mechanical expert.

In General Ogasawara's view, as long as the shortcomings are recognized and slightly improved, it would be fine. But the problem is that the diehards within the military are too powerful, and there are many representatives of the financial groups among them. A rash replacement of the army's weapons would affect their fundamental interests. Soldiers are so cheap anyway, they are all nine cents a piece. Why should they replace machine guns?

General Ogasawara also had some impressive things, such as the grenade launcher. This thing was researched by Ogasawara's father, and it was not until General Ogasawara's generation that it was developed. Although the power of this thing is not as powerful as the mortar, it can be said to be the most powerful support weapon within a range of 300 meters. Due to its relatively low cost and easy to carry, it has a very important position in the Japanese army.

However, when he arrived at the Chinese battlefield, he found that the Chinese also liked this thing very much, but the technology they mastered was not good enough.

Looking through the telescope, there are more grenade launchers on the opposite security group’s position!

It was obviously something invented by our Great Japanese Empire, but you Chinese people came in and used it too. It's really infuriating. In fact, General Ogasawara only allowed the officials to set fires but not the common people to light lamps. They also imitated some things from European and American countries. Would people from European and American countries say the same about you?

"What the hell is this thing? Shoot it down." General Ogasawara was thinking when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound above his head. It could be an airplane, but it was so small.

Several soldiers around did not take action after hearing the sound, because they had taken similar actions before. Unfortunately, their weapons could not hit this thing at all, and the war had not started yet. If they opened fire rashly, it would alert the other side.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, our soldiers have taken action before. Unfortunately, this thing is very fast and it fluctuates, so it is not easy to shoot it down. Besides, a war is imminent, so we'd better not create unnecessary trouble." After hearing the words of the combat staff officer next to him, General Ogasawara nodded. He was a little out of control just now. How could he give such an order!

The Japanese devils thought they were hiding well, but they didn't know that several such small reconnaissance planes had appeared above their heads, exposing even their firepower equipment. Now their artillery has not even fired yet, but their position has been discovered.

"Hurry up, the Japanese devils are basically ready to attack. We must fire the first shot before them. Our artillery is ready. We must use all our strength to wipe out the Japanese field artillery regiment." Zhang Dashan began to patrol. The Japanese devils were indeed preparing to attack us at night, but you don't even look at what equipment we men are using. This kind of small reconnaissance plane is not something you can handle. Just fly a few of them and you will know everything around you clearly.

Regarding this kind of high-tech product, we have already given instructions that, except for our own army, other armies must not be discovered. Not even Zhang Fabai and other leaders are allowed to do so. Some of them have already walked around the camp several times and asked several times, but Zhang Dashan evaded the question every time. This kind of highest technology cannot be passed on to outsiders.

The soldiers on the frontline have already pulled back their curtains and piled up bullets next to all the machine guns. If any Japanese dare to come up, they will be fully fed.

Behind them stood two soldiers, one was responsible for delivering bullets to them, and the other was responsible for throwing grenades.

This is a three-man combat gun team.

There is one such group about every five meters, with three soldiers holding Garand semi-automatic rifles in the middle. This is the front-line defense.

A little further back are the soldiers holding grenade launchers. Their task is to wait and listen attentively to the position reported by the soldiers in front of them, and then fire fiercely. There are plenty of shells.

Although our security soldiers are not as skilled as the Japanese devils, it is mainly because they have been using this thing for a long time. Even if we have sufficient ammunition, some experience cannot be accumulated in a short period of time.

But we have another advantage, which is also envied by the Japanese devils. That is, we have almost unlimited ammunition. If we can't hit the target in one direction, we can fire several rounds in succession. That should be okay, right?

Generally speaking, two grenade launcher shells would be enough to defeat the Japanese devils in a battle against a machine gun position, and the soldiers of the security regiment would need more than six shells, but we had plenty of them to deal with.
