First of all, it has good lethality. It can almost defeat the enemy with one shot. In many cases, even if it cannot hit the vital point.
It can still restrict its movements to the greatest extent. Secondly, it has an advantage in terms of range. Its effective range is four to five hundred meters.
In mid- to close-range combat, this advantage of the 38-gauge will be maximized. In the end, the 38-gauge will be more accurate.
Compared with the rifles made in Hanyang and other countries currently made by China, the accuracy is higher.
Of course, there is one feature of the 38-gai that is very popular with the Eighth Route Army, that is, the gun body of the 38-gai is very long.
If a bayonet is installed, it can reach a full height of 1.7 meters, which is very suitable for fighting with a bayonet because at this time.
The Eighth Route Army's bullets are very scarce, so many times, battles are resolved by hand-to-hand combat.
As a result, this kind of 38 cap, which is very suitable for bayonet fighting, is deeply loved by the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Similarly, not only the chief was curious, but also the chief of staff on the side.
"No problem, Chief. I'm also curious about how powerful this new rifle made by Comrade Su Bei is."
As a result, the leader and chief of staff, along with a few soldiers, left directly and headed towards the location of the arsenal.
At this time, on the other side, in the arsenal, when Su Bei and others received the news that the leader was coming, they all began to get busy.
Just kidding, this is the chief. He came to test this M1 Garand rifle in person, so everything must be guaranteed to be foolproof.
Otherwise, if some small mistakes occur during the test, it will be embarrassing, so in order to welcome the arrival of the chief.
Su Bei sent greetings to the entire arsenal workers in advance to ensure that they would not make any mistakes.
The chief's trip not only made the entire arsenal busy, but even the surrounding troops were on high alert.
This is also normal. The safety of the leader must be put first, so he serves as the leader of other troops.
When he heard the news of the leader's trip, he immediately put the troops below on high alert, always observing every move in the surrounding area.
Once any disturbance is discovered, it must be reported as soon as possible.
Such movement also attracted the attention of the surrounding troops, even Li Yunlong who was stepping on a sewing machine in the quilt factory on the other side.
Everyone noticed that something was wrong, because he could clearly feel that the surrounding situation suddenly became serious.
After all, Li Yunlong is a veteran cadre and is very sensitive to this kind of thing.
When he noticed this situation, he no longer stepped on the sewing machine, but left the factory directly, and immediately found the logistics director.
"Lao Zhang, why do I feel that something is wrong with the surrounding troops? Could it be that the troops have taken some action recently?"
The Lao Zhang mentioned by Li Yunlong is none other than Zhang Wanhe, the head of the Eighth Route Army's Logistics Department. In the original work, Li Yunlong said that he would exchange a little Japanese girl for fifty boxes of grenades.
............
After hearing Li Yunlong's inquiry, Minister Zhang shook his head and chuckled.
"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I found that your senses are as sharp as a dog's nose. I just got the news, but you have noticed it."
"So, Lao Zhang, do you know what's going on? Is there really a big move? But didn't we just end a battle?"
"Logically speaking, the most important thing at the moment is to let the troops rest. Besides, if there is really a big operation, how can you forget me, Li Yunlong?"
When it came to the last part, Li Yunlong was obviously anxious. You must know that Li Yunlong's favorite thing is to fight the little devils.
When was he, Li Yunlong, not at the front in a battle with the Japs? So when Li Yunlong thought of it.
The other troops of the Eighth Route Army were fighting fiercely on the front line, but I could only work on the sewing machine and embroidery in the rear area, not to mention how depressed I was.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanhe, the head of the Logistics Department, stopped trying to keep it secret and spoke directly.
"Li Yunlong, you are overthinking. There is no big action at all. It is just because the chief wants to come to our Taihang Mountain Arsenal in person."
"The chief came in person? Is it about the international student?"
When Li Yunlong mentioned the arsenal, he thought of the international student incident that had been reported a few days ago. When this international student.
As soon as he returned to China, he was appointed by the commander as the director of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army. This was the largest of all the arsenals of the Eighth Route Army.
From this point of view, unusual things are revealed everywhere, which is why others are discussing who this international student is.
When Zhang Wanhe heard Li Yunlong's words, he also put away the smile on his face and immediately said seriously.
"Yes, it's about him. This international student's name is Su Bei. So far, he has been the director of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal for less than a week."
"But in such a short period of time, Su Bei used the knowledge he learned to improve the existing machine tools in the arsenal."
"I heard that the efficiency of this machine tool in making weapons can be greatly improved. At the same time, he also spent several days to come up with a new rifle."
"This new rifle was officially produced today. It is worth mentioning that it is more usable than the little devil's 38 cap. This is not what I said, but what Su Bei himself said."
"The reason why the surrounding troops are moving so frequently today is precisely because the leader wants to go to the arsenal in person to test this new rifle."
"Other troops have put the surrounding area under martial law for the safety of the leader to prevent unscrupulous people from threatening the safety of the leader."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yunlong took a breath and was very shocked.
"Old Zhang, do you mean that all this was caused by the international student?"
Zhang Wanhe nodded deeply and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, this top talent who returned from studying abroad is much more capable than we imagined."
"It's no wonder that the chief overcame all opinions and allowed Su Bei to take the position of director of the arsenal. Now it seems that the chief's decision was correct."
"If this new weapon test is really more powerful than the little devil's 38-year-old Gai, then it will be bad for our entire Eighth Route Army."
