Zhang Chi even remembered that in the Battle of Tarawa, the U.S. army also collapsed in an instant because they were rushed into the ranks by the Japanese army...... The fact that the U.S. military did not have the courage to fight bayonets with the Japanese had anything to do with the fact that the U.S. troops had hardly been trained in stabbing and that they believed that the more useful weapon was bullets, and that fighting bayonets was something that only fools would do. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, although the U.S. military had an absolute advantage over the Japanese army in terms of size and strength, they were so frightened that they ran away as soon as they saw the "short-legged dwarf" with a bright bayonet rushing in front of them.

This was obviously very dangerous on the battlefield, because the Japanese would always choose to make a last-minute gamble, that is, to launch a jade crushing attack. And this offensive has escalated to this day...... Usually, the Japanese jade crushed attack always roared and rushed blindly with their guns raised.

Such an attack obviously did not work, because the firepower of the Sino-American coalition was strong enough to wipe out the Japanese before they rushed to their positions, so over time, the Japanese army's "jade shattering attack" developed into a ...... Let some soldiers hide or disguise themselves as corpses along the road, and at the moment of launching the Jade Crushing attack, these "corpses" will jump up from the ground to cause a riot for the American troops, and the large army will also take this opportunity to follow.

Of course, the Chinese troops did not have to be afraid of this tactic of the Japanese army.

The first reason is that the soldiers of the expeditionary force have good marksmanship and good psychological quality, and suddenly a group of "corpses" jump up from the ground, and the soldiers will also raise their guns and "bang" them down without blushing and heartbeat.

The other is that the soldiers of the expeditionary force dare to fight melee combat with the devils, and if they don't have time to shoot, they simply go up and fight with the devils with bayonets, even if the stabbing skills are not as good as the devils, but it is not a problem to entangle the devils for a while and let others organize firepower to suppress the follow-up troops of the devils.

But the U.S. military can't, if this happens, they are more often in a mess and then chased after by the devil like a duck...... This will most likely allow the Japanese to turn the tide of the battle.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Chi couldn't think of any good way.

Practicing marksmanship is not an overnight thing, and psychological quality and bayonet fighting are even more important for long-term training.

"Pete!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi summoned Pete to the front.

"Do you have that...... Shotgun! Zhang Chi asked.

"You mean trench guns?" Pete said as he made a peculiar way of loading a trench gun.

"Yes, it's a trench gun!" Zhang Chi knew that this meant that there was.

Sure enough, Pete nodded and replied, "Of course." But...... What the hell is that, you ask? ”

"Of course it works!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chi hung up the phone on Major General Jack.

"General!" Zhang Chi said: "I hope to transfer a thousand ...... Bring in 2,000 trench guns if you can! ”

"Trench guns?" Major General Jack asked a little strangely, "Colonel, are you planning to equip my troops with trench guns?" ”

"Any questions?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Of course!" Major General Jack replied: "They are all old guns from the First World War, their range is too short, I don't think they will be better than the M1 rifle!" ”

"You're right!" Zhang Chi replied: "I don't think they will be better than the M1 rifle either!" ”

There is no doubt at this point that the power of trench guns is great, but the range is too short, only ten or twenty meters, and even farther away can hit the target, but it may not even be able to penetrate a piece of cardboard.

It is precisely because of this that the US military does not intend to bring this equipment to the battlefield.

To be precise, this gun was a melee artifact when the pull-bolt rifle was still commonly used in World War I...... Because of its large ammunition capacity, fast rate of fire (pump rapid reload and 6 rounds of ammunition), and high power, it almost does not need to aim in close combat, and casually pulls the trigger on the target...... The bullet shot out like a celestial maiden, which can effectively stop the target.

The "stopping" here refers to the bullet that can stop the target from moving forward or even knock the target away after hitting the target...... This is useful in close combat, as if the enemy is holding a bayonet and is close enough, a regular rifle may not be able to stop the target from plunging the bayonet into your chest, whether it hits the target or not, but a trench gun can.

Therefore, trench guns are also called trench sweepers in World War I, it is said that in World War I, German soldiers were beaten by this kind of guns a little unbearable, so the government issued a diplomatic document to protest against the United States in violation of international conventions to use shotguns this inhumane weapon, but the effect of this protest document is equivalent to a successful commercial advertisement for shotguns, which made the United States more determined to use this gun on the battlefield.

However, this was only the case during the First World War.

By now, the U.S. military has been fully equipped with the M1 semi-automatic rifle, which is much better than the trench gun in terms of range and accuracy, and the 7.62 mm bullet power is not weak, so the trench gun has lost the market.

However, Zhang Chi believes that it still uses the value of use.

"General!" Zhang Chi continued: "I mean, we can use it to make up for the lack of melee combat of American soldiers!" ”

"What do you mean......" Jack couldn't help but be stunned.

He also knew that the American soldiers lacked melee ability, and in previous battles, there had been many situations where they suffered losses because they were rushed to close range by the Japanese army, but Major General Jack had nothing to do about it, and all he could do was to repeatedly warn the troops not to let the Japanese approach. At this time, hearing Zhang Chi say this, Jack thought that maybe he could try.

"I mean......" Zhang Chi explained, "Why don't we have them partially equipped with trench guns, and soldiers armed with trench guns can carry two guns at the same time, M1 rifles at long ranges and trench guns at close range!" ”

"Wouldn't it ...... to use two spears at the same time," Jack worried, not being able to move.

"No!" Zhang Chi replied: "There is no need to worry about this aspect in the Pacific Theater. ”

If it's a terrain like Vietnam or Burma, where the forests are full of vines, it may not be a good idea, because the spears on your back will always catch something, but the Pacific theater is mostly sandy or thatched.

"Okay!" After thinking about it, Jack nodded and agreed, "Anyway, it's not worth us to try, so let's ...... I will apply for the delivery of 3,000 trench guns, so that the first regiment can allocate 1,000! If there is any excess, prepare to replace it as stock! ”

"Okay, General!"

After putting down the phone, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief, if this trench gun can be equipped in place, the shortcomings of the Fourth Division of the US Army will be well filled. (To be continued.) )
