Chapter 169 Bullets are crazy, only the bayonet is reliable (3)
The thickness of the human body of an ordinary person is only about ten centimeters. In other words, when you are stabbing, the 38 pose will almost pierce your body, and your bayonet is still piercing the air.
Of course, the military experts of the Nationalist Government were not all idiots. What to do with the 15 centimeters difference? It was easy to make up for it by lengthening the bayonet length. The blade length of the official bayonet was a full 5 centimeters longer than the Japanese Type 30.
But after adding the overall length of the gun body, it is still ten centimeters shorter.
It was only ten centimeters short, but it caused countless soldiers of the Chinese army to shed blood on the battlefield and died under the 30-type bayonets of the Japanese invaders.
It's okay that the performance is not as good as it is. What's even more frightening is that the production capacity of the national army's bayonets is not good either.
Many people see that the bayonet is just a steel knife and think it is easy to make. However, the structure of the bayonet is not simple, including spring, fixed lock, scabbard, blood tank, etc., and the bayonet has high sturdiness and toughness.
More importantly, the requirements for the standard bayonet are very high. If there is a slight deviation, it will not be effectively installed on the rifle for use, or it will fall off or shake when used, seriously affecting the stabbing.
Therefore, bayonets can only be produced on mechanized assembly lines, and the quantity and quality of manual workshop production cannot be guaranteed.
At that time, China's military industry capabilities were low, with only a handful of assembly lines and an even shortage of professional arms workers, which led to serious problems in bayonet production.
Not only the poor and clanking Red Army, but also the dominant Nanjing central government, the production of bayonets is almost all handmade in workshops. Eighty years later, handmade work is called high quality, but in this era, that only
Can be synonymous with poor quality.
Hardware doesn't work, let's talk about software, which is spelling.
As mentioned before, the Japanese army regards assassination ability as one of the most important individual abilities, and since the Meiji Restoration, it has invested significant human and financial resources to improve it.
An expert on Japanese assassination, he studied the world's assassination techniques and combined some characteristics of Japanese swordsmanship to introduce the so-called Oriental assassination technique.
At first glance, Oriental thorn is inconspicuous at all. Some people even say that it is not a martial art at all. It is just three movements of stabbing, blocking and pushing. It is so simple that even children seem to know it.
In fact, this is where the Japanese assassination skills became so powerful.
After Japanese recruits enter the army, they have to undergo a year-long recruitment training, of which assassination training is very important. The first five months of training include formation, assassination, shooting and training.
The so-called queue is a team, and training includes running and marching. These are all basic foundations. Needless to say, shooting is also a necessary skill, and assassination is actually given to recruits as a skill with the same status as these three basic skills.
The Japanese army is equipped with many assassination instructors at the grassroots level. These instructors are very high-level and the training is very strict. After about a year of hard training for recruits, the Japanese recruits have already repeated the simple movements of Japanese assassination countless times, and it has become a subconscious reaction without thinking.
Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, mentioned in his "Military Training Minutes" that as long as soldiers can apply "one-tenth or two-tenths" of the martial arts they have learned on the battlefield, they will be able to win in hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the power of the Japanese bayonet became apparent. Because it was extremely simple, it became a subconscious reaction of the Japanese soldiers. Therefore, when facing the bayonet of the Chinese army during the stabbing, the Japanese army reacted very quickly and shot quickly. In addition, the daily training was strict, and often
It can be fast, accurate and ruthless, and its strength is quite amazing.
The Japanese are very good at stabbing. Let’s look at the Chinese army on the main battlefield.
Because assassination training cannot be accomplished overnight and requires long-term training, it is not that the Chinese army does not attach importance to assassination training. On the contrary, it attaches great importance to it, and the assassination level of the veterans is not much lower than that of the Japanese army. However, in the Battle of Songhu, facing the Japanese army
With strong ships and powerful artillery, nearly 300,000 elite Chinese troops were exhausted, and the battle to defend Nanjing was once again defeated. There were not many veterans left who could fight with the Japanese army. Basically, half of the new troops were added after each battle, resulting in a rapid decline in hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
One-on-one, you really can't beat the Japanese.
Fortunately, many troops of the National Army still had some close combat weapons at that time, and they did not rely entirely on bayonets. The machine guns (German MP18 submachine guns) and box guns (Mauser military pistols) were all powerful weapons to restrain the Japanese bayonet soldiers. According to the generals of the National Army, they were more arrogant.
According to my son, the guy next door to Mala first used up all the bullets in his gun and then rushed up to fight with the stubborn little devil. He was going to die, so he saved Te Niang's bullets?
Let’s talk about another important anti-Japanese force - the Red Army. Its equipment is much worse than that of the National Army, but because of the poorness, it has to survive and develop hand-to-hand combat skills. The Red Army started with the bald principal.
When the encirclement and suppression began, it was a war between the poor and the rich. They had long been accustomed to fighting the national troops with rifles and big blades and red-tasseled guns.
From the generals to the soldiers, it can be said that they are all good at hand-to-hand combat. However, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the elite red troops who survived the 25,000-mile Long March could only compete with the Japanese army. The rest of the new recruits naturally
It was not an opponent, so it suffered heavy losses in many hand-to-hand battles with the Japanese army in the early stages of the war.
However, hand-to-hand combat is a double-edged sword. Although the losing side suffers heavy losses, the winning side is not unscathed. More importantly, hand-to-hand combat is not only about equipment and technology, but also about faith, blood, courage and courage.
A kind of spirit brought together!
Faced with the destruction of their country and their families, Chinese soldiers never lack this spirit of daring to sacrifice.
Even if this spirit does not necessarily bring victory.
The phrase "failure is success" must be tailor-made for the Chinese battlefield. If they fail, the Japanese will fall into a trap, and they will fall miserably. "Success" will not recognize them.
Before 1940, the Imperial Japanese Army was very powerful. It often took two or three Japanese soldiers to deal with a Japanese short leg. However, with the gradual loss of Japan's elite veterans, the Japanese army could later fight them one-on-one.
Picked.
However, that is the result of the sacrifice of countless officers and soldiers in the past three years, and it is not worthy of much joy.
No matter how many Chinese people there are, they should not be the victims of the Japanese bayonet. These things could have been avoided.
Liu Lang did not intend to be self-conscious about the triangular spurs that were not very strict in terms of steel material and manufacturing requirements. His plan was very simple. Not only did the thousands of independent regiment members need one, but five years later, the 300,000 people who came out of Sichuan wearing straw sandals to fight against the Japanese
Soldiers are also needed.
This thing can kill people, and it doesn't cost much money and food. Liu Lang can pay for it.
Of course, a few years later, Liu Lang would not provide this professional killing tool to the national army who were engaged in civil war.
The best products of the military industry of the Republic can only be covered with the blood of the Japanese invaders.
The setting sun outside the window was like blood, just like the dark red shining on the triangular army thorns in Liu Lang's memory.
