Speaking of machine guns in this period, there were many famous ones, such as the MG34, which was not only a combination of light and heavy machine guns, but also an excellent anti-aircraft machine gun.
Later on, the MG-42 machine gun derived from the MG-34, the Sitler chainsaw, and the cloth tearing machine. Just hearing these nicknames meant that they were very powerful.
There was even the Gatling Gun that saved the dying and the wounded, and the Maxim that saved the world.
Shen Feng also wanted to do this, but there were two main reasons why he chose pkm.
Firstly, the machine guns mentioned above, not only were they difficult to craft and manufacture, but they were also powerful. Their high firing rate also required a very sufficient supply of ammunition. Now that the bullet production line had just started operating, it was not enough to support the consumption.
Secondly, even if there were bullets, the specifications of the bullets used by these machine guns needed additional planning. However, the bullets used by the pkm were exactly the same as the Mosinagan, 7.62× 54mm R ammunition.
Moreover, the performance of the Pkm was also outstanding. Its designer was the same as the Aka-47. This general-purpose machine gun should have only been introduced 20 years later, and it was equipped with a large number of big brother's troops. Some of them were even equipped in the mechanized infantry.
It could be seen that this general-purpose machine gun could withstand the test of actual combat. Otherwise, Big Brother would not have mass-produced it.
Secondly, the Pkm's status in the big brother's family was like the M24, M60, or MG3 of the Perylon countries. This also proved that its performance was excellent, so it was called the best general machine gun in the world by many military fans.
Including the Type 80 machine gun that was manufactured in China in the later stages, it was also copied from the Pkm.
First, imitate, then surpass. This was also Shen Feng's plan. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, pkm was very suitable for the current situation.
As for the Type-63 rocket launcher, since the boss and the chief of staff mentioned that they wanted to produce weapons independently produced by our country, they would be satisfied.
The Type-63 rocket launcher was produced in China in 1963. Like the Pkm, it was a product of the early 1960s. It was also related to Katyusha. To put it bluntly, it was inspired by Katyusha.
Just like the cannon without a conscience, its manufacturing technology was not high, and it was even very simple. However, it had been in service in our country for more than 50 years. Because of its simple and unadorned advantages, it was called the Akka 47 of the rocket launcher world. It had created many miracles and even spread all over the world!
With a 107mm caliber, 12 barrels, and a range of eight kilometers, it was like a Katyusha that had been taken off a truck. Once it was loaded onto a truck, it was basically no different from a Katyusha.
The most important thing was that it was simple to build. After they used it to conquer Wanjia Ridge, they could install it on the captured truck and Katyusha would come out!
In addition, although the Type 63 rocket launcher was not carried by a truck, it was a towing type. Although this design made it not suitable for mountain warfare, in a normal combat environment, a few soldiers could pull a weight of more than 300 kilograms. It was not difficult to transport it by carriage.
With these two weapons, attacking Wanjia Ridge would be suppressed by artillery fire from afar and machine gun fire from close range. With the addition of weapons such as the Heartless Cannon and Mosinaga, it would definitely be much easier than before.
With that in mind, Shen Feng picked up the blueprint and ran out of the laboratory. It was already late at night, but the monk was not around. He did not care much and immediately gathered the engineering company and soldiers from various departments to work overnight!
……
Taiyuan.
In the Japanese army headquarters, Miyano was not around this time. There was only Shinozuka Yoshio and a confused Yamamoto.
"Yamamoto, didn't you say that you had a Plan B for your decapitation?”
"Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" Shinozuka Yoshio questioned. Is this just an excuse to save your dignity in front of the chief of staff, Miyano?”
"No, I can't! General, I'm not lying!"
"To tell you the truth, not long ago, I had secretly planted an insider in the Eighth Route Command. The information about Great Summer Bay was provided by him. The other party is even someone from the Mountain City Army, but in fact, he is a double agent that we have trained, a high-level agent, codenamed Pangolin!”
"Nani?"
"You actually have such a plan?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked in surprise. You really make me look at you in a new light, but why didn't I know about it?”
"This humble servant originally wanted to give the general a surprise. A few days ago, I had already ordered the pangolin to begin its operation. There should have been good news today, but there has been no response so far.”
"Baka!"
Suddenly, Shinozuka Yoshio scolded,"Are you playing with me? That means that your mole has probably met with an accident. If he leaks the secrets of the Empire, who will bear the responsibility?”
"No, he won't. He's a death warrior that we've trained. You can rest assured about that. Moreover, he has made great contributions. For example, he obtained the truth about the recent changes in the weapons of the Eighth Route.”
Shinozuka Yoshio frowned." What truth?”
" Recently, a graduate from Jinling's Zhongyang University has joined the Eighth Route Army. He is proficient in military manufacturing. The heartless cannon that appeared in the Gray Cloud Ridge was created by him, and recently, the Eighth Route Army has also produced many new weapons..."
"Military expert?"
Shinozuka Yoshio was surprised." Go on, where is the engineer?"”
If they could find this engineer, they could either kill him or use him for their own use. This would solve the big problem. Without the support of the new weapons, the combat strength of the Eighth Route would decline. There was no harm in it!
" According to the intelligence, it's in the arsenal of the Eighth Route Border Region, and he's also the factory manager. However, the exact location of the arsenal is unknown. Such confidential information is not available to the pangolin's current status..."
"Baka!"
"The Border Region is so big, and that's all we know. Do we have to look for a needle in a haystack?”
Shinozuka Yoshio was furious. There was an eighth route arsenal in the border region. This was nothing new. They had long known about it. However, there were barren mountains everywhere in the border region. How were they going to find it?
At this moment, a signalman rushed over." Reporting to Your Excellency, we…have lost contact with the pangolin.”
Yamamoto clenched his fists. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt aggrieved.
"General, I think the most important thing now is to get rid of this engineer. According to the approximate location provided by the pangolin, we can send infantry or even aircraft to scout.”
" If we take action, there's still a chance of finding him," Yamamoto said bluntly." But if we leave him alone, we won't be able to find him. If we don't get rid of him, he will become a disaster for the empire!"”
"Send troops to find the eighth route arsenal?"
Shinozuka Yoshio was a little hesitant." Now is the time for the Empire to use its military strategy. I don't want the Chief of Staff to gossip anymore. You can leave first. You must reflect on your mistakes."”
"Ha Yi!"
Yamamoto left with a dark face.
Shinozuka Yoshio clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the flag on the wall."Engineer? I will never allow such a powerful (awesome) person to exist in the Eighth Route.”
