Sun Erwei rushed to the three stores to find Wang Xuexin after the supplies were evacuated.
The reason why he had to wait until the supplies were evacuated was because he was worried that the stubborn army would find an excuse to seize the equipment or part of it.
After all, some of the supplies used to aid the recalcitrant troops were traded with the Eighth Route Army, which is likely to intensify the conflict between the two armies.
If these two armies were to fight, not only would it not be in Yingjiang's interests, but if the Eighth Route Army did not receive sufficient equipment, it would be impossible for Wang Xuexin's viscous gasoline formula to be provided, and it would be Yingjiang that would suffer in the end.
So Sun Erwei stopped at Xi'an Airport, watched the arms being moved off the plane, and then watched the Eighth Route Army transport the arms away... there would be no problem.
You still need to borrow the stubborn army's car, because it is more than ten kilometers from Xi'an Airport to the outside of the city. You can't put the Eighth Route Army into Xi'an to transport it, right?
However, this was nothing to Sun Erwei. Although the director of the stubborn army camp looked unhappy, he could only follow Sun Erwei's request.
Sun Erwei didn't feel relieved until all the arms were emptied, and then he took a bag and rushed to the three stores accompanied by an interpreter.
For more than two hundred kilometers, riding on this saddle with almost no shock absorbers was torture for Sun Erwei.
Sun Erwei sometimes wondered whether he could send a jeep to the Eighth Route Army next time, so that he would not have to suffer the pain of running around.
But translator Zhou Shi quickly gave up this idea.
"This is a battlefield, Wilson!" Zhou Shi said: "And we don't have air superiority. If a jeep suddenly appears, what do you think will happen?"
Sun Erwei thought about it and thought it was right. When the time comes, he will definitely be regarded as the commander of the Eighth Route Army by the Japanese and hunted down along the way... The shoulder bag is much better, it is small and light, and can be hidden on the spot if a plane appears.
It can also be seen from this that Yingjiang did not have much combat experience at this time.
During World War I, they entered the war at the end of the war, and the war ended just over a year after they entered the war.
At this time, Yingjiang had not yet participated in the war, so he had almost no combat experience.
(Note: Eagle Sauce joined the war in 1917, and the First World War ended in 1918)
But there is no problem if you don’t have combat experience. The point is that at this time, Eagle Sauce’s GDP has far surpassed the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets to become the world’s largest industrial power, making it a very important and influential power in the world.
This is also the reason why modern times attach great importance to gdp ranking.
The full name of gdp is gross domestic product, which measures a country's industrial production capacity in money.
The industrial production capacity can show the war capability of the country... If the industrial production capacity is strong, it is likely that if one plane is shot down, two planes will fly into the air; if one warship is sunk, it is possible to build two and launch them.
Such a country cannot be defeated.
On the modern Internet, GDP is considered from a completely different angle, often compared to GDP per capita and then derived from happiness index and the like.
Just imagine, once a war breaks out, which country will use per capita GDP to measure its war capabilities?
This was the second time Sun Erwei came to Sanjia Store. The sentries at the entrance of the village already knew him. They even knew that Sun Erwei was the foreign devil who brought "big business" to the Eighth Route Army, so they let him go without any obstruction.
The bag stopped in front of the mud house where Wang Xuexin lived. At this time, Wang Xuexin was playing with his new rifle in the house...
After Li Yunlong received the rifle, he immediately sent one to Wang Xuexin and added another hundred rounds of ammunition.
Just kidding, these equipments were all bought by Xiao Dongbei, can you not let Xiao Dongbei use them first?
Although Li Yunlong is stingy, he still understands this human nature.
The Springfield rifle is similar to the Japanese 38 rifle in many places.
The reason is that both are imitations of Mauser rifles, but they are different in length, caliber, etc.
But it is these differences in details that lead to differences in combat performance:
The Springfield rifle has a large caliber and high muzzle velocity, 7.62 mm, with a muzzle velocity of 823 meters/second.
In comparison, the Sanba cap has a smaller diameter and lower muzzle velocity, which are 6.5 mm and 765 m/s respectively.
A large bullet caliber means a larger contact area when hitting the target, and a high muzzle velocity means a large kinetic energy, so the ability to reject the target is stronger... The enemy is charging with a bayonet, and a single bullet from the Springfield rifle can kill the entire upper body of the target.
Falling back and completely losing combat effectiveness.
The 38 caliber is small and has strong penetrating power. Its bullets will penetrate the target so that the kinetic energy of the bullet is not absorbed by the target. Therefore, the target cannot be blocked, that is, the enemy with a bayonet can still insert the bayonet into the gunner's chest.
This is also the reason why 38-year-old shooters tend to roughen their bullets.
The 38-year-old Gai puts too much emphasis on the range and the stability of bullet flight. In actual combat, such a long range is often not needed. High stability is sometimes a disadvantage.
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of this.
Usually, the Eighth Route Army's reloading bullets are all round-nose bullets. Although this type of bullet has insufficient range, its advantage is that its bullet penetration is poor but more powerful. If you are hit by it, you will either be injured or die, and you will basically lose your combat effectiveness.
But that is just helplessly looking for some advantages among the shortcomings.
Now, the Eighth Route Army is finally equipped with a long-range and powerful rifle.
Of course Li Yunlong was extremely happy.
Because they are uniformly equipped with Springfield rifles, apart from other things, there is much less logistical pressure.
In the past, the rifles in the regiment were all kinds of strange, including Hanyang-made, Jin-made, Zhongquan, 38-gauge... The 38-gauge also had reloaded bullets and original bullets.
Although grouping the same rifles into the same squad and platoon made things easier, supplying them during a battle was still very confusing.
Now, all these guns have been replaced with Springfields, and the bullets are all 7.62. The combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced in an instant.
All the soldiers were smiling from ear to ear as they held their new guns. Some soldiers even hugged their new guns when they went to sleep at night, for fear that others would take advantage of them and take the guns away accidentally.
Only the reconnaissance company is still equipped with Jin-made submachine guns, but it has also replaced the sharpshooter's 38 cap with a Springfield.
The replaced guns and bullets will be used by the frontline troops first.
This makes sense. The front-line troops were still fighting the Japs on the front line at this time. They were not familiar with the Springfield rifles. They could not go up and fight the Japs as soon as they changed their equipment. This was likely to cause problems.
If you replace old guns and bullets and use them to reinforce frontline troops, you won't have to worry about this.
At this time, Wang Xuexin heard the "rumble" of the motor coming from far outside the door, followed by another sound of braking.
Wang Xuexin stuck his head out the window and saw that it was Sun Erwei, holding a long leather box in his hand.
"King!" Sun Erwei looked at Wang Xuexin who opened the door, jumped off his shoulder and shouted: "I brought something for you!"
With that said, Sun Erwei raised the long leather box in his hand towards Wang Xuexin.
