Although the conditions of the Eighth Route Army's border factories were not good, the factories in various places were also thinking about making firearms.
Before the production of the Type 55 and Type 81 rifles, the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan base also produced improved Zhongzheng rifles from 1939 to 1940. It was normal to forge guns in the north, but the accuracy and durability were problems. They could not be used after firing a dozen rounds.
All along, the Eighth Route Army had been trying to find ways to get machinery to make guns. During the Anti-Japanese War, a town in East China was famous for its ironware since modern times. Later, due to the lack of light machine guns in the New Fourth Army, the authentic ZB26 was copied by blacksmiths.
At present, the arsenal in the Taihang Mountains border region was imitating the German Empire's Mauser 98K rifle to develop its own " Type 54 " rifle.
The Kar98k Mauser rifle weighed about 4 kilograms, used a 7.92×57mm caliber pointed warhead, and had an effective range of 500 meters. It was a standard rifle equipped by the German Empire during the Second World War. It had been in service since 1935 and was the standard rifle of the German army. It was also one of the most produced light weapons during World War II.
In the 1930s, the German Empire rearmed and was selected as a standard rifle by the German Empire's National Defense Force. A large number of original Kar98b and Gew.98 rifles were sent to the factory to be modified into Kar98k Mauser rifles as the main rifles of the German Empire's army. They were used until after the Second World War. During this period, many design changes were made, mostly for ease of production.
It was not easy to copy, especially for the Eighth Route Army, which had a very weak military foundation. There were many problems.
Su Wen was led by Zhao Tianming to the Firearm Research Institute.
Instead of a research institute, it was actually just a few relatively good small bungalows.
At this moment.
A few older researchers, firearms personnel, and veteran military workers were looking at a pile of Mauser 98 rifle parts and discussing how to replicate the Type 54 rifle.
Seeing that Su Wen and Zhao Tianming had arrived, one of the middle-aged men in the lead welcomed them and said,"Factory Manager Zhao, you're here?"
"This must be the returning top student, Comrade Su Wen!”
"Hello, I'm Chen Zheng, the person in charge of the Firearm Research Institute!”
"Chen Gong, this is Comrade Su Wen, Little Su. The boss said that you studied firearms in Mao Xiong.”
"Whether or not we can replicate the Type 54 rifle depends on you, Chen Gong, and the other comrades working together. I believe we can definitely create a firearm that belongs to us!”
Su Wen and Chen Zheng shook hands and finally knew each other."Hello, Chen Gong.”
After a simple greeting, Su Wen began to invest in the development of firearms under Chen Zheng's invitation.
One had to know that manufacturing firearms was not a simple imitation. It required a lot of professional knowledge and some equipment support.
Especially now that the Eighth Route Army had limited equipment, it was very difficult to replicate firearms.
Su Wen looked at the gun in front of him, and his mind was filled with question marks. He really did not know anything.
After all, he wasn't a military professional.
Looking at the gun parts in front of him, Su Wen felt a headache coming on.
The gun body, accessories, accessory cylinder, accessory cylinder cover, butt, firing mechanism, recoil spring, body, and trigger pull knew Su Wen, but Su Wen did not know them.
Just as Su Wen's mind was in a mess, a voice sounded in his mind.
