Chapter 167: Bullets Are Crazy, Only Bayonets Are Reliable (1)

Of course, the most important thing is not that it is lethal, because the Type 56 triangular military spur has strong club-like support, it is just suitable for the current situation of backward metal smelting technology in China, unlike the Hanyang-made bayonets and even the Zhongzheng bayonets equipped in the future, which are prone to fracture and deformation.

It can be said that in terms of manufacturing and lethality against Japanese invaders, the Type 56 Triangular Army Thorn is the best choice for the independent regiment.

"Dear Liu, this kind of military thorn is powerful enough, but it is not a war now, since the submachine gun is introduced, how many troops will choose hand-to-hand combat?" Grunov asked suspiciously.

As a Germanic man, Grunov has a deep memory of the First World War.

As a well-known cold weapon, the bayonet has always been active in the equipment arena of countries around the world. It can be said that from the day of the birth of rifled guns that could fire quickly, the bayonet appeared on the battlefield as the most powerful auxiliary weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

However, the moment the European powers began to be widely armed with submachine guns in the latter part of the First World War, the bayonet had already been withdrawn from the mainstream, and a single magazine could kill five or six enemies at close range.

"Doctor, there's a famous saying you haven't heard of that bullets are a crazy thing, and only bayonets are reliable." Liu Lang shook his head and said with a smile.

Yes, since the beginning of World War II, the battlefield has been in full swing, and the European powers have basically not had a white-knuckle battle, but only one battlefield is an exception.

That is the Chinese battlefield, both China and Japan have no effective weapons at close range, submachine guns or anything, and neither side has a large number of equipped troops.

"Are you Chinese so profound in your speech?" Grunov shook his head with a wry smile.

From the depths of his heart, the Germanic people did not want this formidable military thorn to be unveiled, especially since he had the illusion that his homeland, under the leadership of the ambitious prime minister, might one day be confronted by the man in front of him, who was still a colonel, and would surely become a general in the future. The blood of the Germanic peoples would be shed under the terror army, and Grunov had no doubt about that.

"Your country's worst enemy, Japan, will not be weaker than our country's strong industrial manufacturing capacity, and they will be equipped with a large number of melee weapons." Grunov tried to convince Liu Lang.

Grunov didn't mention China at all, for the simple reason that he did. China's military industry is extremely backward, and looking at the whole country, only Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal can make hundreds of submachine guns every month, and other arsenals cannot make them.

If you buy it, since rifles, machine guns, artillery, and even tanks and planes are the main equipment, they are far more important than submachine guns, and it is obvious that it is impossible to buy submachine guns with only foreign currency to buy these things.

But Grunov did not know that millions of Japanese troops were not equipped with submachine guns on a large area from the very beginning until their defeat.

Japan obviously has this research and development capability and this equipment capability, but their standard submachine gun Bai-style submachine gun began to be equipped in 1940, and by 1943 it was only equipped with more than 10,000 units.

With the successive defeats of the Japanese army in the Pacific theater, more than 10,000 pieces of equipment were replenished. By the end of the battlefield, the entire Japanese army was armed with a total of 30,000 units, while the US military during the same period was armed with at least 1.5 million Thompson submachine guns and hundreds of thousands of M3 submachine guns.

In the face of the crazy bullets, the Japanese army's proud bayonet became a big joke.

"Thank you for the reminder, Doctor, but I'm still up to you for the creation of the Type 56 Thorn." Liu Lang stubbornly shook his head, making his insistence clear.

"Well, this military spur structure is very simple, and I will make a sample and give it to you soon." Seeing that he couldn't convince Liu Lang, Grunov had to reply with a wry smile. "However, I can ask, why is it called five or six styles? Instead of a three-two? Before leaving the door, Grunov asked Liu Lang a question that bothered him a lot.

"Because, five, six, thirty, doctor." Liu Lang showed a mouthful of white teeth, of course he couldn't say that this was a weapon designed and finalized more than 20 years later, 56 years later.

Fortunately, the multiplication table that I memorized in elementary school worked.

"Four-eight-thirty-two is the most accurate!" Grunov is a Ph.D. in science and engineering, and he is sensitive to numbers.

"Because death doesn't sound good, just as you Europeans don't like the number thirteen." Liu Lang's reaction was also very fast.

"Oh, well! Colonel, you won. Grunov shrugged and left Liu Lang's office with a wooden thorn.

Liu Lang looked at the disappearing back of Grunov outside the door, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

As he just read the famous words of the famous Russian general Suvorov: the bullet is a crazy thing, and only the bayonet is the most reliable.

Because Grunov did not know that the bayonet, a small weapon that could even be ignored under the huge threat of guns, was stained with the blood of many Chinese soldiers, including women, children and the elderly, on the battlefield of the Sino-Japanese duel.

Not to mention that the Germans do not know, even the current top level of China and Japan will not know that in the next ten years of fighting, there will be thousands of white-knuckle battles between China and Japan. It was also the white-knuckle battle that crowned all the battlefields of the entire two world wars.

Moreover, what makes foreign experts feel unbelievable is that many times white-knuckle battles do not break out when one side is short of ammunition, and even if the winning side is bleeding.

With Western thinking, it may be difficult to understand the thoughts of the Japanese, who like to show their strength, and the Chinese, who show themselves to fight to the death.

It can be said that the bayonet is a gadget that is dispensable on the European battlefield, but it is an extremely important weapon on the Chinese battlefield. It does more than just kill people.

The Type 56 Triangular Thorn will become an indelible nightmare for the arrogant Japanese invaders who meet it in this life.

Liu Lang firmly believes.

But there is one thing, Grunov is not wrong. Japan's industrial manufacturing industry is far beyond China's, so why not equip it with close-range firearms like submachine guns and avoid brutal combat like white-knuckle combat.

That was also because he didn't know that it was entirely a matter of extremely backward military concepts at the top of the Japanese army.

That's right, the top brass of the Japanese army, who defeated China's millions of troops one after another, were actually just a group of generals whose ideas were still stuck in the First World War.

If they weren't stupid enough, China, which is far from uniting as a monolith, might not have lasted eight years. This is a conclusion that many foreign military experts have come to after analyzing the comparison of the military strength and national strength of China and Japan decades later, and is not recognized by both China and Japan.

But in any case, in terms of not being equipped with submachine guns, after the war, even the most stubborn Japanese had to admit that their elite army generals were really full of.

China, which did not completely deal with the weakness, was still beaten by American soldiers.
