Chapter 563: Mass-produced Black Star Pistol

When Li Yunlong heard that his independent regiment was going to fight another big battle, he was immediately overjoyed. In recent times, the independent regiment had been acting like a nanny, which made him very depressed.

"Commander, please rest assured. As long as you send the independent regiment to the battlefield, I, Old Li, will definitely not let you down and will definitely take over Ping'an County in the first place."

After hearing this, the commander shook his head and replied: "Li Yunlong, I think you misunderstood what the leaders meant."

"Now our troops have caught up with the equipment. This campaign is to destroy the enemy's manpower on the one hand, and to train troops on the other. We must use this opportunity to train a large number of elite troops."

"If we attack Ping'an County, we don't need to win quickly. Even if we fight for ten days or half a month, there will be no problem. We just need to find a way to delay the enemy and destroy their manpower in the wild."

"To put it bluntly, if the Japanese want to launch a major campaign, they will have to spend a long time mobilizing troops and stockpiling food and ammunition. They have seized so much of our territory and are using troops everywhere. It is extremely difficult for them to launch a campaign with more than 100,000 people in a short period of time."

"But we are different. We have already clenched our fists. If we swing them, we can make the Japanese soldiers see stars."

"We must remember one principle in this battle. We must be flexible in tactics and aim to destroy the enemy's effective forces. Even if we cannot capture Ping'an County, it doesn't matter. As long as we destroy three to five thousand Japanese soldiers, it will be considered a victory."

"With so many of our troops working together, we can at least kill 40,000 to 50,000 elite veterans of the Japanese devils, and that will achieve the commanders' campaign goals."

At this time, Kong Hao interrupted and said, "In this case, our industrial zone has recently developed a lot of new weapons. I will take you two to have a look."

After hearing this, the commander's eyes suddenly lit up. In fact, everyone wanted to know how many new weapons the arsenal and Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone had researched, and they all wanted to equip their troops in advance, but unfortunately they never had the chance.

Now, we can finally uncover the mystery and see what good things are inside.

Then the three of them came to the firearms testing ground. Kong Hao had already asked people to collect a batch of various new weapons, and he would introduce them to the leaders in detail later.

First, the pistol. Li Yunlong picked up the pistol and looked at it carefully, then said in surprise:

"Xiao Kong, I seem to remember that when you first joined the independent regiment, you seemed to be wearing a pistol like this. I still remember the pattern on it clearly. It's a pity that you gave it to Kong Jie and didn't think of giving one to me, Lao Li. That's really not nice of you."

"Old Li, I only had one for self-defense at the time, and Captain Kong really liked it, so I didn't feel comfortable asking for it, so I just did him a favor."

"This time, based on the drawings we brought back from abroad, our technicians have successfully copied this pistol, and have also made improvements specifically for the hand shape, height, and habits of the Chinese people. I named it the Big Black Star Pistol."

"After all, the Browning pistols commonly used by our troops are basically tailor-made for their own people in Europe and the United States. Those people are tall and strong with big hands, so there will be no problem for them to use Browning pistols."

"But we Chinese people often don't have enough food to eat, and we have to use Browning pistols. Although they can be used, they always feel a little bit worse. So our technicians specially developed this big black star pistol."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a large Black Star pistol, unloaded the magazine, and continued to introduce it:

"This pistol uses 7.62x25mm pistol bullets, with a capacity of eight rounds, and uses single-row loading. Its advantages are high initial velocity, strong penetration, and relatively light weight. Even when fully loaded with bullets, it is only about two kilograms, about one kilogram lighter than the Browning High Power pistol."

Although the Big Black Star has its shortcomings, its simple structure and low cost are its biggest advantages for our troops.

"The most important thing is that this Big Black Star pistol has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. Its cost is also very cheap. According to a comparative analysis conducted by our industrial zone's technicians, if one Browning M1911 military pistol is produced, about three Big Black Star pistols can be produced."

Browning M1911 is handsome, but it can’t be used to make a living.

"Okay, I won't say much. Two leaders, you are all experts in this area, please help test the effect."

The commander and Li Yunlong had been itching to try their hand after hearing Kong Hao bragging for a long time, and this time they could finally have a chance to try their hand.

So the two of them fired two full magazines at the shooting range before stopping. If it were in the past, they would definitely be reluctant to do so, after all, one bullet was needed to kill one enemy, but now they could still afford this amount of bullets.

After Li Yunlong put down the pistol, he couldn't wait to praise it: "It's really a good thing. The feeling of holding it in my hand is different. It's very comfortable."

"I have decided that from now on, all officers above the battalion level in the independent regiment will be equipped with this large black star pistol."

After hearing this, the commander was a little amused and confused. This Li Yunlong really would not waste any opportunity to take advantage. But to be honest, he also liked this type of pistol very much. Its appearance design simply fits our hand shape very well.

"Xiao Kong, this Big Black Star pistol is very suitable for our intelligence officers. What is the current production capacity? Can you give priority to producing a batch and give it to our intelligence officers first? They need it more than us."

"Commander, that's no problem. I have this plan as well. The Big Black Star has been finalized and mass production has begun. We can produce about 3,000 units a month, and we expect to be able to produce 5,000 units in two months."

"That's enough. It's enough for all of us."

After hearing about the production volume, the commander was extremely satisfied. If there were 3,000 pistols produced a month, it would solve a big problem. After all, this type of pistol is generally used by intelligence personnel, senior generals and local staff.

For example, squad leaders and even company commanders in front-line troops prefer to use various Mauser pistols, mainly because of their strong firepower and the fact that they can be used as submachine guns at close range.

Next, Kong Hao asked someone to take out a strange-looking weapon from the box. It had a barrel on top and two brackets, but no magazine. There was only a large box underneath.

When Li Yunlong saw this, he immediately took a breath of cold air and asked in surprise:

"Xiao Kong, is this a light machine gun? But it's different from what we usually see. It looks a bit ugly, not as cool as the Czech machine gun."

It's cool to think about using this level of light machine gun to shoot the Japanese's Type 99 rifle

"Old Li, don't judge things by appearances. This is an epoch-making weapon that will completely overturn our previous understanding of light machine guns."

"Okay, enough nonsense, I'll show you two."
