"In the first batch, 100 Bren light machine guns have all been taken off the production line. According to the Young Marshal's request, each platoon of the Jinsui Army should be assigned at least one light machine gun.”
"This means that this batch of Bren light machine guns can arm more than 1000 people, the strength of two battalions!”
Liu Enqing said excitedly. He had been working overtime in the Jin Yang Munitions Factory for the past few days.
Now, the production of the Bren light machine gun had finally stepped into the official stage.
However, when he thought about the Young Marshal's extremely harsh requirements, Liu Enqing could not help but smile bitterly.
One had to know that it was an extremely extravagant thing to equip every squad with a light machine gun.
It wasn't until the Second World War that countries like the Eagle Nation, the Mei Nation, the D Nation, and the Big Bear Nation were equipped with a light machine gun in every squad.
If the Jinsui Army was really equipped like the young marshal said, then the soldiers would be able to fight.
Just based on the firepower of this scale of light infantry, the Jinsui Army could sweep through the entire Xia country.
"Have you told the Young Marshal about this?”
Liu Enqing said to his assistant happily.
"The young marshal is on his way to the Munitions Factory. He should be able to reach the Munitions Factory soon.”
"When we made the Mauser Kar98K rifle, the young marshal wasn't as excited as he is today.”
Liu Enqing's assistant said to Liu Enqing with a smile.
"In the First World War, Country D relied on Maxim heavy machine guns to deal a devastating blow to the infantry of Gaul and Eagle Country.”
"Although the firepower of light machine guns is not as good as heavy machine guns, if each platoon can be assigned one.”
"The fighting strength of our Jinsui Army will rise by several levels. No wonder the major is so excited.”
Liu Enqing explained with a smile.
Not long after he finished speaking, he heard footsteps approaching.
"Major!"
"Young Marshal!"
Yan Ziming nodded, and the group headed to Liu Enqing's office.
"Enqing, I heard that the first batch of Bren light machine guns has been produced?”
Yan Ziming's tone was filled with excitement.
The successful manufacture of the Bren light machine gun was definitely something worth celebrating for his army.
"Yes, Major!"
"Alright, alright!"
"Lü Ming, bring a squad of soldiers with you. Let's see how powerful this light machine gun is.”
After Yan Ziming gave the order, Du Luming and a squad of soldiers took ten light machine guns from the arsenal.
The weight of the Bren light machine gun was moderate, and the soldiers could carry the light machine gun directly and go into battle with light equipment.
Just this alone made the soldiers who went up to experience it feel quite good.
The group soon arrived at the training ground and followed Yan Ziming's order.
The soldiers of this squad raised their Bren light machine guns at the same time, aimed at the target not far away, and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da…"
"Da da da…"
"Da da da…"
Like a flame, a large number of bullets poured toward the target position as if they were free.
The violent attack force made everyone involuntarily widen their eyes.
The target was covered by the rain of bullets.
In just a few seconds, all the bullets in the magazine were used up.
Smoke and dust rose from the target's location. The entire scene was terrifying.
After the dust settled, everyone was dumbfounded and swallowed hard.
The target item was riddled with holes by the violent rain of bullets. There was not a single spot that was intact.
Imagine if an infantry or cavalry charged at a unit with this light machine gun.
Just by relying on this powerful light machine gun, he could give the enemy an unforgettable lesson.
Before Yan Ziming could speak, Du Luming, who had already swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, spoke first.
"Major!"
"Look at this first batch of Bren light machine guns. Should we give them to our 2nd Battalion to try?”
"We didn't get anything from this battle, so our equipment can't be any worse than Hu Zongnan's.”
"After Hu Zongnan's triumphant return, the Jinyang Munitions Factory will definitely be able to produce a lot of these light machine guns. Let's give these 100 light machine guns to our 2nd Battalion for now!”
Du Luming didn't care about his face anymore.
Back then, he had competed with Hu Zongnan for the mission to support Beiping. It was because he had placed too much emphasis on martial ethics that he had failed to win.
A fall into a pit, a gain in one's wits!
Du Luming would not repeat the same mistake.
"You fellow, good!"
"These 100 Bren light machine guns will be used to equip your 2nd Battalion first, so that you won't say that I'm biased in the future.”
"Sooner or later, these pieces of equipment will appear in every new army of the Jinsui Army. I don't know what you're so anxious about.”
Yan Ziming, who was in a good mood, looked at Du Luming and scolded him jokingly.
However, it was no wonder that Du Luming was so anxious. After all, if he were to equip these 100 Bren light machine guns, he would be able to use them.
The battle strength of the 2nd Battalion would definitely rise exponentially.
For a military officer, what could be more exciting and exciting than the increase in the combat effectiveness of his troops?
