The first task that Tang Wan Yue set for herself now was to manually build a bullet production line, a grenade production line, and a 56 and a half production line.
She did not blindly pursue more advanced weapons.
Just like what Li Yunlong said, a weapon that could fight the Japanese was a good weapon. For the current needs of the Eighth Route Army, they had to first solve the problem of existence. The pros and cons would be considered in the future.
In the current situation, many of the main forces lacked weapons and ammunition, let alone those small teams.
Therefore, the first step now was to deal with the weapons and equipment of all the troops so that they could have weapons to use. On this basis, he would try his best to provide them with better weapons that were suitable for the current battlefield. More advanced weapons could be solved in the future.
The reason why Tang Wanyue chose the 56.5 was because this gun was a replica of the Soviet Union's Simonov SKS semi-automatic rifle. The prototype of the AK-47 was the Simonov SKS semi-automatic rifle.
Therefore, it could be said that 56.5 and AK-47 were of the same origin. The ammunition they used had similarities in other aspects. When Tang Wan Yue made AK-47s in the future, they could form a gun clan. Therefore, warriors who had used 56 and a half could easily use AK-47.
For the sake of An Li Yun Long's heart, Tang Wan Yue manually made 20 56 and a half so that he could test it tomorrow. This was also for the sake of the safety of the 3rd Battalion. They had to hand over all their weapons. The 200 soldiers had no guns. It was understandable how the soldiers felt. They were definitely very frustrated and anxious.
Making twenty of these sample guns first would make them feel at ease. Knowing that more advanced weapons would soon be available, this would stabilize the morale of the army.
The next morning, Li Yun Long and Kong Jie sent Zhao Gang away again. The reason was to let Zhao Gang gather supplies. It just so happened that he, as a political commissar, had nothing to do, so he asked him to think of a way to get some cotton and other supplies for the regiment.
After instructing Zhao Gang to leave, the two came to Tang Wan Yue's small arsenal. Looking at the 20 brand new and shiny 56 and a half guns made by Tang Wan Yue, the two of them drooled.
Not to mention the actual performance, just the appearance alone was much better than the 38 big cover. It looked comfortable.
In fact, this world had proven that appearance was a very important thing. Anything that was beautiful was basically a good thing.
It might not be a good thing if it was beautiful, but if it was not beautiful, it was most likely not a good thing. Of course, humans were an exception.
Tang Wan Yue smiled and looked at the two guys who were about to drool. She said,"How is it? This gun meets your needs, right?”
Li Yunlong wiped her saliva and said,""It looks good, but I wonder how it will be in actual use?”
"Won't you know when you go to the shooting range? I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the things I make.”
"Good! Let's go to the shooting range."
Tang Wanyue took out a box of bullets and said,"Take this box of bullets with you."
"What's this for?" Li Yunlong asked in confusion. There are bullets over there."
"It's different. The bullets it uses are different from the 38 big cover." The 38th Cover used 6.5mm by 50mm rifle bullets, while it used 7.62mm by 36mm rifle bullets. This kind of bullet had higher lethality and would not be as penetrative as the 38th Cover.”
Hearing this, Li Yun Long and Kong Jie couldn't help but frown. On the anti-Japanese battlefield, the weapons used by our country are also very miscellaneous. There are all kinds of bullets on the battlefield. In addition to the two types of bullets, there were also 6.7mm bullets, 7.7mm bullets, and many more.
But those were all non-mainstream bullets. 7.62mm bullets were commonly used in Europe, but there were relatively few in China.
Our army was fighting against the Japanese army, and what we seized was the other party's weapons and ammunition. Therefore, 6.5mm bullets were the most commonly used ammunition and the easiest to capture on the battlefield.
This is also the reason why our soldiers like to use the Sanba Cover. It was not because this gun was better than the Mauser rifle, but because its bullets were easier to obtain. Without bullets, a gun was like a fire stick. No matter how good the data was, it was useless.
Therefore, if Tang Wan Yue's rifle used 7.62mm bullets.，Then its use might be limited. Refilling ammunition was a bigger problem.
Tang Wan Yue looked at them and laughed: "What, are you worried about the ammunition? Have you forgotten that I make bullets?”
Thinking of this, Kong Jie slapped his thigh and said,""That's right. Our sister-in-law knows how to make bullets. There's no need to worry about that."
Li Yunlong was still a little worried,""After all, the bullets you made are still not as many as the Japanese. What if you finish fighting on the battlefield?”
Tang Wanyue smiled and said,"My big commander, if you can consider the problem, how can I, a military expert, not consider it?" I've already thought of a solution for you.”
"The 56.5 I made was modified to be compatible with 6.5mm bullets. As long as he changed the gun barrel in front of it, the problem of bullet compatibility would be solved.”
"Changing the gun barrel is so troublesome!" Li Yunlong said.”
"What trouble?" Tang Wan Yue took out one of the rifles. The barrel of this rifle was fixed by a slot, making it extremely easy to replace. In a few seconds, Tang Wanyue changed the gun barrel to a gun that was suitable for 6.5mm bullets.
"Good boy, so fast!" Kong Jie couldn't help but praise.
"Of course, what do you think?" Tang Wanyue explained. They thought that they were going to tear it down! Then, on the battlefield, do you want to die?!"
"I'm an expert in weapon making! In addition, the magazine did not need to be replaced. I've already made a small design. It can hold both 6.5mm bullets and 7.62mm bullets. How was it? The two great commanders should have no more doubts now, right?”
Li Yunlong nodded. Let's go to the shooting range and see if this gun works.”
When they arrived at the shooting range of the third battalion, Tang Wan Yue asked the third battalion commander to find the 20 people with the best shooting skills in the entire battalion and let them test these 20 guns.
