Chapter 150 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Lee-Enfield Rifle
In fact, this is what Captain Wang meant. Sophisticated weapons and equipment must be used in a concentrated manner to play their greatest role.
As long as their most powerful battalion was equipped with these four brand-new Czech light machine guns, plus some captured rifles and pistols, their combat effectiveness would be comparable to that of a squad of Japanese devils.
In this way, the Third Regiment finally had an elite force that it could show off, and it would be much easier to launch ambushes in the future.
It’s no longer like before, where the entire group would go into every battle together and not necessarily win.
"That's fine, but all of your battalion's light machine guns will be transferred to the Second and Third Battalions. The First Battalion will take the lion's share of the harvest, and the other two battalions will also get a share."
"Captain, that's absolutely no problem."
Battalion Commander Shi also knew that one should not be too greedy. If their battalion had seven light machine guns and the Third Battalion only had one, the Third Battalion Commander would probably curse.
Besides, the new guns are completely incomparable to the old guns, and this time their battalion has got a great advantage.
Captain Wang then asked Dong'an: "Xiao Huo, how many of these bullets are there?"
"About five thousand five hundred rounds."
"good, very good!"
"Our regiment has a total of eight Czech light machine guns, and the total number of bullets is almost 6,000. Now each gun can get about 800 rounds on average, so we don't have to worry about ammunition in the short term."
Instructor Huo then added, "Commander, Captain Shi, and fellow comrades, there are more surprises to come. Let's keep watching."
After saying that, he led his men to the other side of the room, where various captured rifles were placed, as well as military supplies originally from the warehouse of the rich man Wang.
"Captain, here we have 98 British 24 rifles, rounds of ammunition; Mauser K rifles, rounds of ammunition; Vz- rifles, rounds of ammunition; Hanyang rifles, rounds of ammunition; and Mauser pistols, rounds of ammunition."
Hearing these data, everyone present was shocked.
This is probably the biggest gain of their regiment in the past six months, especially the various types of rifles, each equipped with a large number of bullets, which is what everyone values.
Moreover, among the rifles seized this time, there are many famous guns, which are good things that you may not be able to buy even if you have money.
So, the next scene was chaos again. Battalion Commander Shi and the company commander picked up the 98K rifles. In their minds, German products were the best.
The second and third battalion commanders prefer the British Type 77, which is also a legendary rifle.
Captain Wang chuckled, picked up the inconspicuous Vz-24 rifle beside him, and said with a smile:
"You guys just don't have good eyesight. The Type 98 and Type 24K rifles are indeed good, but look at this Vz- rifle in my hand. It's the famous Ma Sihuan rifle."
"Even in our main force, only the most elite marksmen are qualified to use this type of rifle."
"Look at the workmanship and the materials used. This is an 24% new Mazda rifle from the Czech factory. It's really rare." Czech rifle, a very powerful Mazda rifle. "The Japanese Type rifle is known for its high accuracy, but the Vz- rifle is even more accurate."
"In addition, the effective range of the Japanese Type 460 rifle is 800 meters, while the effective range of the Ma Sihuan rifle is meters. This is a huge difference."
"The elite veterans and sharpshooters in our army are proud to own a Czech Vz-24 rifle." My regiment commander Zhong Bu La used the Ma Sihuan rifle. Hearing that this inconspicuous rifle was so good, the battalion commander said hurriedly:
"Captain, if that's the case, then distribute all these weapons and equipment to our battalion. I promise to lead a strong team in the future."
After hearing this, Captain Wang rolled his eyes at the battalion commander and angrily reprimanded him:
"I say, Captain, why didn't I notice this before? How can you be so shameless?"
"How shameless do you have to be to say something like that."
"We were so poor before, we didn't have anything. Now we finally got some good stuff, how can we give it all to the First Battalion?"
"If the second and third battalion commanders knew about this, they would definitely overturn the regiment headquarters."
Captain Wang was speaking in the front, but Battalion Commander Shi in the back didn't hear anything and instead muttered quietly:
"What is a face? Can you eat it or drink it?"
"If I could, I would rather sell my face in exchange for a few rifles to fight the Japanese."
When Captain Wang heard this, he was immediately furious.
But he knew exactly what kind of people his subordinates were, and mainly because he was almost the same.
In the past few months, in order to ask the military district commander and political commissar for ammunition and supplies, he almost lived in the military district headquarters with his bedding roll. He was a well-known scoundrel commander in the entire Taiyue Military Region.
Now his subordinates are doing the same thing to him. Do you think he will be angry?
However, he still patiently explained: "This kind of good thing is not the more the better. As the old saying goes, too much is as bad as too little."
"Take the British Type 77 rifle for example. Its scientific name is the Lee-Enfield rifle. It is the standard rifle of the old industrial powerhouse Britain."
"The magazine of this gun can hold ten rounds of bullets. A veteran who has undergone rigorous training can fire thirty rounds of bullets in one minute. It is known as the fastest-firing bolt-action rifle in the world."
"It is precisely because of this that such a high rate of fire is a fatal disadvantage for our Eighth Route Army. We do not have so many bullets to consume."
"The guns seized today are all good guns, but due to the ammunition problem, it is best to distribute them to the veterans of the various combat companies in our regiment."
"For example, if a company has one of these British Type 77 rifles, it is like having an extra light machine gun at a critical moment, which can completely catch the enemy off guard."
"We make the most of our limited weapons to improve the overall strength of the group."
Faced with the regiment commander's arrangement, the others had nothing to say. However, even if the rifles were divided equally among the three battalions, the improvement in the combat effectiveness of the first battalion would be visible.
With the addition of these weapons, their battalion will be able to compete with a squad of the Japanese in the future.
Instructor Huo continued, "This time we also obtained 400,000 kilograms of grain, 80,000 silver dollars, 500 taels of gold, and of course some other military supplies from Mr. Wang's family."
When Captain Wang heard that there were so many supplies, he said in surprise:
"Captain Kong and the others don't want these things?"
"Captain, Captain Kong said that they have no use for these things, so we will deal with them on our own."
Captain Wang now understood Kong Hao's intention, which was to do their military sub-district a favor.
These grains are not a big deal. Their Third Military Sub-district can keep them for use as military rations, which can relieve the pressure on the Logistics Department.
But 80,000 oceans and 500 taels of gold is a huge sum of money. Whoever seized it would have made a great contribution.
The special forces don't care about this credit. They have made many more contributions, but many of them cannot be made public.
