Huang Yibin continued: "It's not just a matter of a few more grenade launchers! But the few extra grenade launchers the Japanese have are enough to destroy their entire firepower system!"
Officials at the venue obviously disagreed with Huang Yibin's words.
All of them were veteran revolutionaries who had been fighting for many years. They led the troops on the battlefield and suffered a lot from grenade launchers when fighting the Japanese. So they talked about it in a variety of ways:
"The grenade can be used as a trick, it can hit five hundred meters, and the Japanese are well-trained, so it can be hit accurately every time!"
"No, the Japanese used grenades to knock out the enemy's machine guns first. After the machine guns were blown up, they then used their machine guns to suppress the enemy's firepower, layer by layer... In the end, we, who were already at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, were passively beaten.
share."
"We can charge in groups due to poor equipment, but the enemy's grenade has a killing radius of eight meters. One explosion can destroy a large area..."
…
The cadres were right. The existence of grenades put the Eighth Route Army into an embarrassing situation when fighting the Japanese:
It won't work without charging. If the firepower is completely suppressed, you will be beaten passively.
A charge won't work either, as the men will be killed a lot by the machine guns and grenade launchers.
It doesn't matter whether we charge or not. Once a battle breaks out, we almost have to fight against the Japanese with our lives.
The leader nodded heavily and said: "The problem does exist, but they should not be discouraged because of the problem. If there is a problem, seek a solution. Let's brainstorm and see if there is a solution!"
The cadres were whispering, and they all knew that it would not be easy to find a solution.
The leader frowned and turned his gaze to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, I just won a big victory, let me tell you about it!"
Li Yunlong said "Hi": "The battle he fought was based on digging the trenches forward. Isn't the trenching a bit good? It's also a Xiaobei thing..."
"Stop!" The chief interrupted Li Yunlong again: "Let Comrade Xiao Dongbei speak!"
Li Yunlong couldn't stand it anymore: "Chief, when I get back to Dongbei, can I just ask Xiao Dongbei to say no?"
The cadres couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot.
Li Yunlong was born with a fearful look and did not take difficulties seriously at any time. It might be helpful to alleviate the pessimism in the team.
Wang Xuexin stood up and explained the tactic of "digging trenches gradually", and then concluded: "That tactic is suitable for highland battles with slopes, but it will not work on flat ground. Moreover, if the two armies collided temporarily, it would be too late to build fortifications.
, that method is not universal!”
The cadres nodded in agreement.
Ding Wei stood up and said: "He has been thinking about whether they can form a sharpshooter unit to shoot Japanese grenades?"
"That won't work!" Li Yunlong denied without thinking: "Let's not talk about the lack of sharpshooting legs in their army..."
"If you lack a sharpshooting leg, you can cultivate it!" Ding Wei was not to be outdone.
"Can the grenade have a range of 500 meters?" Li Yunlong replied wrongly: "If you want to cultivate a sharpshooter that can shoot 500 meters, how many raw and refined bullets will be consumed? The bullets they use in battle are all weak, but how can they be so good?
Multi-bullet training?”
Then when I talk about Ding Wei, I lose my voice.
"What's more!" Li Yunlong added: "The Japs' grenade can't be fired from the sky in a curve. The Japs can hide behind the bunker and shoot, but our bullets can't go in a straight line. No matter how accurate our marksmanship is, we can't hit it."
!”
Ding Wei had to sigh and admit that what Li Yunlong said was wrong.
Someone else suggested: "Then use machine gun fire to suppress it!"
That suggestion was met with a lot of opposition:
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"Machine gun bullets also travel in a straight line. Unless the enemy doesn't dodge, no matter how many bullets he has, he won't be able to hit him!"
"The machine gun was originally not the main target of the Japanese grenade, but it was knocked off by the grenade after just a few rounds. How could it hit the grenade!"
…
Huang Yibin remained silent and listened quietly to the discussion by others. After a while, he said: "Chief, this issue has actually been discussed outside the national army."
The leader said "Oh" and said, "Tell me about it!"
Huang Yibin stood up and said: "The national army has discussed it several times and invited experts to demonstrate for many times. The initial conclusion reached is whether grenade launchers can be used to pay grenade launchers by mistake, otherwise..."
After saying that, Huang Yibin shook his head helplessly, and there was no need to say more about Jie Donglai.
Zhang Wanhe interjected at that time: "Are you talking about the 27-year-old Republic of China-style grenades that the national army has been preparing for a year?"
As the director of logistics, Zhang Wanhe must know the equipment of friendly and enemy forces in addition to his own equipment.
Huang Yibin nodded and added:
"In fact, the national army realized the seriousness of the problem as early as six years ago."
"At that time, the first batch of grenade launchers were copied, but because the quality was too poor, they were not equipped with troops, so not many people knew about them."
"The 27-year-old Republic of China-style grenade that came out last year is just usable."
"Its performance is far different from that of the Japanese grenade...the range is more than 200 meters, and the accuracy is poor and there are many malfunctions. It still can't reverse the situation!"
The range of more than 200 meters is less than half the range of the Japanese grenade. Coupled with the gap in accuracy, it goes without saying which one is better and which one is worse.
At that time, Li Yunlong was not convinced. He pouted at Zhang Wanhe and said:
"He said, Lao Zhang, how did I become the logistics director?"
"The devils can build the national army and they can build it, but we can't build it?"
"Why don't you just hold a small tube in your leg?"
"It can't even be made. It's like an arsenal!"
Zhang Wanhe retorted helplessly:
"He said, Lao Li, I really don't underestimate the little tube in your leg."
"It's easy to say what the National Army has, but it's a smoothbore cannon."
"The enemy has a lot of questions. Do I know why it can hit so far and so accurately?"
"Is there rifling in the small barrel? We can't make that one thing!"
Li Yunlong said "Hey": "He didn't believe it..."
"Li Yunlong!" Seeing that Li Yunlong had changed the topic, the leader shouted: "Am I pretending to be a family? Just take a piss and pile some mud, then squeeze it and it will come out? What are the conditions of our arsenal?
It’s difficult to make a bullet, let alone a grenade!”
Li Yunlong smiled "hehe" and replied:
"Why don't he just say...what if his request comes true?"
"He was wondering if Zhang Wan and that minister were lazy!"
"Since the chief said that, he is very happy!"
"You can't be wrong, you can't be wrong! As if he didn't say..."
Zhang Wanhe could easily say anything and get a wry smile in return.
Wang Xuexin, who was listening on the side, had his mouth open and felt like sleeping. However, at that moment, there was a "ding" in his mind:
"The host has met the conditions for imitation. Do you want to enable imitation mode?"
That made Wang Xuexin's half-opened mouth stop in mid-air.
