Canteen System Assistance Notes

But unlike Liu Helian's extreme forgiving attitude, the members of the "Intermediate Power Bullets and Weapons" team had no intention of forgiving themselves so easily. Determined to avenge their humiliation, they spontaneously began working overtime to modify the rifle—exploring heat treatment parameters, conducting repeated experiments, applying for extruded aviation aluminum, and then milling it. Finally, after several months of repeated revisions, a significantly improved rifle was finally produced.

Although still known as the "Type 42 Experimental Automatic Rifle," this "A Bie Version" SCARM has clearly crossed the threshold of being considered "qualified," or even "good." After modifying the process and upgrading the materials, the rifle has overcome its numerous flaws and successfully passed acceptance and testing.

While the lack of a mature injection molding process prevented it from reaching the mere 3.5 kg of its original prototype, the Type 42 rifle was successfully reduced in size by modifying its overly automatic mechanism and eliminating the floating barrel, maintaining a weight of 3.8 kg with an empty magazine. Regardless of the cartridge, it maintains a straight trajectory at a rate of approximately 650 rounds per minute in full-auto at a distance of 400 meters, and with the aid of a sight, can effectively and accurately engage humanoid targets at a distance of 50 meters.

During the May 19th Incident in Xinjiang Province in May 1942, a special operations team equipped with a trial-installed .250 Savage version of the Type 42 rifle knocked down the guard platoon of Xinjiang warlord Sheng Jinyong almost as soon as they came into contact with him, successfully captured Sheng Jinyong, and sent him for public trial.

Of course, due to the limitations of technology, ammunition selection and structure, it also has problems such as strong vibration of the automatic mechanism, the need to adjust the sights regularly, and the aluminum handguard is prone to overheating during continuous shooting. However, these problems can be avoided through diligent maintenance, the use of small grips or heat insulation sleeves, etc.

After the tests, the troops' evaluations of the two types of ammunition were also very interesting. Veterans with rich shooting experience often said that the "big bullet .250 Savage version" was more in line with their experience, with the ability to defeat the enemy with a single shot and suppress half a Japanese squad by one person. The younger recruits, on the other hand, preferred the smaller caliber .2-250 version. They said this bullet was easier to control and could also "shoot (the Japanese) with it, and then they'd lie down" against the Japanese.

Eventually, the weapon entered small-scale production at the Fushi Arms Factory. With the help of the Border Region's industrial and aviation departments, as well as equipment, fixtures, and ammunition molds purchased from the Liuhe Company, approximately 5000 Type 42 rifles in both calibers were produced during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. These rifles equipped numerous reconnaissance and special forces units, and, as a pioneer of assault rifle tactics, became the standard issue rifle for some experimental "fully automatic regiments."

Although this "Ah Bie Version" SCAR was retired after the war with the development of new cartridges, its short-stroke piston-driven, rotary-bolt automatic mechanism has been a staple of the Eighth Route Army and People's Liberation Army's small arms research since 1941, remaining largely unchanged for decades. It's so classic that it has profoundly influenced assault rifles in many countries around the world.

In the surging national independence and socialist revolutionary movements in Southeast Asia after World War II, the "short piston bolt rotary locking rifles" with different appearances but similar structures, together with some foreign-aided "Type 42 rifles", killed many feudal, puppet and colonial regimes, and brought the glory of a new era to the local people.

To the extent that rifles of this structure were given a unified name by some Western commentators: "the cornerstone of the Far Eastern order."

New Campaign:

Eastern Front [Liberation of Rong City]

In the fight against fascist Japan, the Eighth Route Army, based in Shandong Province, was a vital force to be reckoned with. In 1943, as the war progressed, these brave Chinese comrades launched an offensive against the Japanese fascists entrenched in their last stronghold in Shandong Province. "City of Glory" served as a thrilling prelude and precursor to this campaign.

As one of the last few key strongholds of the Japanese army on the Chinese mainland, the Japanese "Kwantung Army" that crossed the sea from the three northeastern provinces will fight a final desperate battle in order to avoid being pushed into the ocean.

In the game "Enlistment," you'll have the opportunity to participate in this exquisite and intense battle. The battlefield is set in early winter, and you'll be able to see hills with mixed deciduous and evergreen forests, farmlands that have been harvested and planted with new crops, and Chinese-style towns covered with frost and dew.

We've recreated the battlefield environment and war sites recreated by our Chinese friends, drawing on valuable historical footage. Before the full-scale battle unfolds, you'll have the opportunity to experience the charm of old Chinese towns and coastal scenery.

In this new campaign, you will have the opportunity to experience the following elements:

Battles range from hilly terrain to close combat in Chinese towns, across the ocean and on mudflats. This campaign allows:

【旧日本帝国】陆军1-3级小队、【旧日本帝国】海军1-2级小队【根据地地方部队】陆军1-3级小队、【八路军野战部队】1-2级小队

Comrades who join the battlefield, choose the Japanese camp and win the game will have the opportunity to receive the "Imaginary Enemy" electronic medal.

This campaign will not be available in Scenario Mode and will not participate in the Historical Anniversary Event, but you can still select it in the Scenario Simulation section of a custom game. Best of luck in your battles!

Advanced Premium Team:

With the launch of the new version and the new campaign, a new advanced premium squad will be put into battle. The squad will consist of 4 commandos and 1 combat special forces soldier.

Using special weapons, they will be sharp spears or strong shields on the battlefield!

1. China - Base Area Local Forces - Level 5 - "Bohai Demon Snake" Assault Team

小队成员将手持'呀山"战斗卡宾枪的"弹筒"版本进行作战。"牙山"战斗卡宾枪作为中国鲁省根据地依托美制30卡宾弹研发的全自动卡宾枪，拥有650发/分钟的射速和100-200米的有效射程。而其原型的"弹筒"版本拥有更强的机动性和53发的弹容量，有着非常好的火力持续性、比冲锋枪更高的伤害。

Taking into account the overall game considerations, we've prepared a Type 41 bulletproof vest, known as the "Breastplate," for the special forces soldiers of the "Bohai Snake" assault team. It provides this warrior's chest and abdomen with protection against small-caliber ammunition, as well as limited defense against full-power rifle rounds—unleash their power! Comrade commander!

2. Nazi Germany - Air Force Ground Combat Force - Level 5 - "Parachute Hunter" Assault Team

Nazi Germany's parachute-dropped Jäger assault teams exemplified the defense of Monte Cassino during the Italian Campaign. Their impressive performance during the Battle of Monte Cassino was truly remarkable: armed with KSW-42 assault rifles, German troops inflicted devastating losses on the Allied attacking forces, leaving a lasting impression. The KSW-42 is a sophisticated automatic weapon, and its origins in China, the United States, or Germany remain a matter of debate, but this doesn't prevent you from experiencing it in-game.

In order to distinguish it from the Nazi German Tier 5 squad "600th Airborne Battalion", we have prepared impressive full-power automatic weapons for the "Jäger" assault squad's combat special forces, so that you can experience the difficulty and hardship of fighting against the fascists.

New season rewards:

1. China: Yashan Combat Carbine (Super Heavy Drum Magazine Version)

Level 5 weapons

This version of the Asan Combat Carbine features an experimental 120-round, super-heavy, paddle-operated drum magazine with a four-stack reload mechanism. Due to reliability issues compared to the original version, it was ultimately not officially fielded. However, you can experience its charm in-game.

This weapon can be used to adjust the organization of local forces in the China Base Area. Please note that only certain positions in certain squads can use this weapon, and equipping this weapon will lock the squad's level to level 5.

2. Soviet Union: "AR-2" Automatic Hunting Carbine (Lend-Lease)

Level 5 weapons

An American hunting carbine chambered for .220 Swift, it entered the Soviet Union through Lend-Lease in 1943. This version uses a 3-round magazine, fires very quickly, and has a high chance of leaving a large hole in the victim's body.

Due to the extremely high chamber pressure of the ammunition, it is prone to overheating during continuous firing.

This weapon can be used to adjust the organization of all Soviet troops. Please note that only certain positions in certain squads can use this weapon, and after equipping this weapon, the squad's level will be locked to level 5. 3. The former Japanese Empire: Trial Production of the Self-produced Small Unified Ding Type (later Type Kai II)

4 level

Like other Japanese experimental weapons, the Japanese army underwent a series of improvements to the 6.5mm experimental self-produced small gun to cope with the intense pressure of the Pacific and China theaters. This version of the rifle featured a 2-round drum magazine, a slightly reduced rate of fire, and the ability to fire automatically, but the traditional rifle structure still made it difficult to operate.

The prototype and data of this weapon have almost been lost in the dust of history, with only a few photos circulating. As a result of "comprehensive consideration", we added a bayonet, which was crucial to the Japanese army.

This weapon can be used to adjust the organizational structure of all units in the former Imperial Japanese Army. Please note that this weapon is only available to certain members of certain positions in certain squads. Equipping this weapon will lock the squad's level to level 4, even if other members are equipped with lower-level weapons.

4. Nazi Germany: Type 44 Wehrmacht Swamp Camouflage

A new camouflage pattern introduced in 1944, featuring a more blurred color block. You can apply this pattern to all German Army soldiers. It does not affect your squad's rating.

The camouflage doesn't bring any changes to your squad's detectability, but we think it's pretty cool - and it's also good for understanding historical changes.

In short, dear commanders and comrades! I wish you a happy time!

Sukabuli, "comprehensive consideration" again, and a reskinned weapon, how many AR-2s are there? (10.2w likes)

IP address: Fujian Province, People's Republic of China

Damn it, comrades, have you noticed that the two new squads sold by the stupid Russians this time can't be used in the new campaign! Also, historically, the "Yasan Squad" had full protective armor, how did you, a dead bastard, eat them up? (9.7 likes)

Chapter 745: Is it the weight or the equivalent that brings smiles?

"All company, target 103, 'enemy' exposed infantry, scale 327, reference direction 0-04 to the right, grenade, instantaneous fuse, 10 rounds rapid fire!"

A noisy repetition sounded, and as the gunners operated the sights to align with the target, the gunners quickly cranked the handwheel, raised the barrel high, and aimed it at the "exposed infantry" in the distance. The loaders shouted slogans, used the push rod to push the bullet and powder bag into the chamber, and loudly reported "Loaded!"

"Fire ready—fire!"

Almost at the same time as the word "release" sounded, there was the earth-shaking roar of artillery fire. The almost indistinguishable intervals of artillery fire were like a continuous dry thunder that echoed across the vast earth.

The blast wave emitted from the muzzle brake caused all the surrounding

The dust jumped and danced wildly; and the heavy warhead of about 44 kilograms left a whistling sound in the air that exceeded the speed of sound, flying towards the simulated target on the distant hillside.

Immediately, amidst the quiet wind, smoke and dust rose silently - after all, it would take at least 50 seconds for the sound to come from there.

Since the time traveler Liu Helian began to intervene in the historical river of this time and space in January 1937, the speed of the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment construction began to evolve at a speed different from the original time and space.

However, this *change "generally follows the law of diminishing marginal utility": as various construction projects were gradually implemented and began to produce results, when the war clock passed the end of October 1942, the speed of the Eighth Route Army's firepower evolution began to slow down to some extent.

Now, the heavy firepower in the hands of the Eighth Route Army soldiers has basically completed the "ultimate evolution" in the World War II environment.

The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, from squads to regiments, infantrymen can use the Turtle Fist launcher to fire traditional recoilless gun-style Turtle Fist warheads or "extended-range Turtle Fist" with rocket-assisted range extension components, which can call on 60, 82, and 100 mm mortars.

Or 82 and 107 mm recoilless guns for indirect and direct fire, and 45 and 82 caliber anti-tank guns for defensive operations...

Coupled with the widespread distribution of wireless and wired communication means, the infantrymen have a variety of ways to "call people" and it is very convenient. With such a configuration, even if different troops may make certain personalized adjustments due to their respective conditions and environments, in the East Asian battlefield

It can be said that he is "full of martial virtues".

However, various infantry weapons that can enhance the density of frontline firepower can be widely distributed in most units, but the Eighth Route Army's barreled artillery is very cautious and conservative when issuing equipment - before 1943, 122 mm

的M30被编制成54炮的大炮团，由野战军层面掌握使用; M1917型的1 55毫米火炮被编成24炮的小团，作为重点方向上的“攻坚重锤”集中运用;几乎全部发配鲁省根据地的“过

The 25-pounder Vickers-mounted artillery piece was considered the most valuable core combat force by the Shandong base, and was rarely deployed except to suppress enemy artillery.

Even Director Zhong, who had successfully escaped from the KMT and developed a certain type of 107mm rocket under the guidance of the time traveler Liu Helian, was regretfully informed in 1942 that this 107mm rocket had excellent performance and design, but if it was released

The reserve forces need to be supported by a large amount of transport capacity, and can only be equipped in a small number of division-level units. It is recommended to simplify the process and hand over the assets of the base area and use them for guerrilla warfare of local forces to replace the light rockets that the "Hangjian 82" also serves as.

It's really surprising.

Therefore, up to now, the Eighth Route Army can be said to have widely decentralized and generally equipped with barreled artillery, basically only the "US M1 75mm mountain gun". The rest of the 122, 155 artillery and even rocket launchers are basically organized into independent artillery.

Military units are controlled and used centrally by higher-level command organizations.

However, even if they can only be organized into independent units, these artillery pieces are still the "God of War" on the Chinese battlefield.

As we all know, as a political party that held a meeting to discuss the Huaihai Campaign during the Liaoshen Campaign, the Communist Party of China has always been far-sighted and accustomed to preparing for a rainy day.

As early as after the February Incident in 1940, the comrades headed by Commander Zhu Dunzhong, the commander of the artillery column, were satisfied with the M30, 25-pound and Mt.

When the mountain artillery was combined, the military industry system and Comrade Liu Helian expressed their opinions.

Your own needs:

It would be best to have a howitzer with a range of about 15 kilometers that can completely suppress the Japanese field artillery, as a corps-level artillery unit or as an independent artillery regiment... We need a corps-level cannon that can be towed by an AEC four-wheel drive truck, preferably with a longer range of about 18 kilometers, specifically for strengthening the main attack direction at the campaign level..."

They also supported their idea in this way: Next, the Eighth Route Army would inevitably counterattack the Japanese troops in North China, and when the counterattack reached a certain scale, the Eighth Route Army would have to face not only the First Army entrenched in North China and the troops stationed in Mongolia that had been repeatedly bled to extremely weak levels by the base area troops - as the second-stage state of the boss "Japanese invading China", the large-scale entry of the "Kwantung Army" into North China was basically a certain fact.

By that time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers would have to face the Kwantung Army, which was backed by the railway transportation line and used the Type 92 105mm cannon and the Type 96 150mm howitzer. If the Eighth Route Army really hurt the Kwantung Army, maybe those devils would not care about it and drag out the precious Type 89 150mm cannon from the fortress!

Okay, okay, the demand is reasonable and the argument is strong, so let’s get started!

The first half of this demand gave rise to the D1-Schneider 155mm howitzer equipped by the Eighth Route Army.

———M1927 type 22 times 155 mm barrel with double chamber muzzle brake, and then with

The Eighth Route Army obtained the M30 artillery mount, which weighed only 3.9 tons and had a long-range howitzer with a range of 15 kilometers.

The second half launched a scientific research program that began in 1940.

After discussion, the Eighth Route Army's military industry decided to utilize the French-made M1929 30.8-caliber 155mm howitzer barrel purchased by Comrade Liu Helian. The original French gun carriage for this barrel was extremely heavy, with the gun mounted, bringing the combat weight to 8.4 tons, and requiring a towing vehicle weighing over two tons. Naturally, the Eighth Route Army could not tolerate such poor quality and refused to copy it exactly.

After referring to a series of materials, they chose the Soviet D20 howitzer or the Type 66 howitzer as the imitation object, hoping to be able to cooperate.

While using a historical design significantly reduced the workload compared to developing a new gun mount from scratch, the Eighth Route Army lacked physical D-20 or Type 66 guns for reference, not even original blueprints. Consequently, relying solely on reference drawings, three-dimensional views of the gun, and other peripheral materials, the Eighth Route Army diligently undertook the entire process of developing a gun mount. By September 1942, they had completed the replica of the mount and its integration with the barrel, resulting in the "56-Ganaide" 155mm cannon.

By installing the same muzzle brake as the D1-Schneider 155mm gun at the end of the original 30.8-caliber 155 gun muzzle, its total weight has been controlled at around 5.8 tons. The entire gun carriage has also been designed to suit motorized traction and no longer has the animal-drawn front vehicle on the original gun carriage. The same warhead and powder bag as the two 155 guns already equipped by the Eighth Route Army allow it to deliver grenades, concrete-destroying bombs (semi-penetrating), air-burst arrows or smoke bombs at a firing rate of about 6 rounds per minute to a maximum distance of 18 kilometers.

In addition, since there were not too many French barrels, although the base could produce them, the cost would definitely be very high. Therefore, in order to save domestic production capacity,

The Eighth Route Army used precious foreign exchange to order the same type of electric slag barrel from American steel mills.

--Now, with the gun's range and firing table unchanged, the officially produced "6-Schneider" type 155mm cannon has better tolerance to harsh working conditions, which indirectly improves the gun's serviceability and reliability.

Unsurprisingly, this gun, while nearly half the weight of the original 8.4-ton model, still required towing by a motor vehicle. The Eighth Route Army Artillery Corps planned to follow the old model and organize this gun into an independent artillery regiment, which would be under the command of the Artillery Corps for coordinated use, with no intention of delegating it to regular field troops.

"It passed the acceptance, comrade, congratulations..."

“Congratulations, this is the result of everyone’s collective efforts…”

At the artillery acceptance test site, the Mediterranean researcher in charge of artillery research and the unit's Black Eyed Army representative shook hands, patted shoulders, and exchanged pleasantries. The recent artillery testing and acceptance phase had seen them staying up late and consuming numerous energy drinks and coffee.

"I'm going to sleep with him for three days and three nights when I get home..."

Looking at the workers who were starting to tie red ribbons on these mass-produced artillery pieces, several representatives yawned and prepared to go home early to rest and have a good vacation.

However, in this occasion where most people, despite being tired, were still jubilant, these thick and powerful pipes did not seem to bring much smile to the face of Zhu Dunzhong, the commander of the artillery column who was present to watch the ceremony. He simply maintained a polite smile and applauded, then circled around to Zhong Weilin, who was also present.

The two of them left the crowd in a familiar and tacit understanding and stood together. Seeing that there was no one around, Commander Zhu whispered in his ear:

"Wei Lin, 'that big thing' was also recently tested—has the vehicle arrived?"

"It's ready, it's already here." Zhong Weilin pointed to one side of the experimental field. In the warehouse over there, an American-made Mark-type carrier carrying eight large cylinders, covered in striped cloth, sat quietly, looking remarkably harmless. "Once this cannon is finished, it's time for 'that big thing.'"

"That's good."
