The most important thing is that the production of light weapons in the current anti-United Nations has been mainly concentrated on automatic rifles, squad machine guns, and general-purpose machine guns, which are mainly equipped with the troops. Moreover, in order to reduce the caliber of light weapons, in addition to manufacturing some submachine guns for the troops in the Guannai, the demand for submachine guns of the Anti-United Nations itself has been greatly reduced.

In fact, the number of such weapons manufactured and produced has been decreasing. Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the armed forces, the demand for standard weapons is also increasing. At present, a large part of the military production capacity of the Anti-Japanese Federation has to meet the needs of its own main standard weapons, and the remaining production capacity is quite limited.

As for the production of submachine guns, the German-made submachine guns exchanged by the troops in the Guannai have begun to enter the troops in large quantities, and they have been pressed again and again. To meet the needs of the Soviets, it was necessary not only to redeploy the production line, but also to reduce the production of its own light weapons.

At the same time, under the condition that the booty transferred by the Soviets had to be repaired, there was really not so much production capacity to satisfy the excessive appetite of the Soviets. 200,000 submachine guns, for the United States and the Soviet Union, may be a quarter, or even just a month's production.

But for the Anti-United Nations, it takes three to six months of production capacity to meet. This will only be satisfied if all other production of light weapons is halted. This has not yet taken the already very tight military raw materials to the losses caused by changing the direction of use.

Under the condition that the key direction of its own military production has been shifted, and most of the original reserves have been redressed by the troops in the Guannai. The figure put forward by the Soviets made Yang Zhen indeed quite embarrassed. Not only was it really impossible to come up with such a large amount, but Yang Zhen also felt that there was no obligation to do this for the Soviets.

Of course, if you tighten it, it's not that you can't take it out completely. If all the submachine guns currently equipped by the Anti-Japanese Federation are recovered, plus the submachine guns that are replenished to the internal team of the Guan, all of them will also be recovered. And it has always maintained an inventory of about 20,000 pieces, and half of the number in production is about the same.

But the problem is not so simple, and the gap left by these light weapons that have been transferred back needs to be filled by similar weapons. Moreover, even if the weapons sent to the troops are redeployed, they still need to be refurbished and repaired. This is also the same to occupy the Northeast at the moment, which has been used to the extreme, which does not count the consumption of military raw materials.

In addition, Yang Zhen believed that the Northeast had no obligation to do this for the Soviets. And Yang Zhen didn't want the Northeast Bureau and the Anti-Japanese Federation to become an arsenal for the Soviets to take whatever they wanted. Originally, the German-made equipment that was reequipped for the troops in the Guannai was all exchanged for grain by the Anti-Japanese Federation. At present, the Anti-Japanese Union has no obligation to produce light weapons for the Soviets.

It can be found that it is much less difficult to train a submachine gunner than a rifleman. At the same time, in the current situation of the Soviet-German battlefield, the submachine gun is a fairly cost-effective weapon for the Soviets. However, it insisted on the 200,000 submachine guns requested by the Anti-Japanese Union, and provided some similar weapons every year during the war.

The submachine guns with magazines manufactured by the Anti-Union are inferior to their submachine guns equipped with drums in terms of the number of ammunition carried per unit. But the structure is even simpler and the performance is more reliable. The most critical thing is the ammunition used, which is common to the ammunition used by the Soviet submachine guns. This is a great loss to the Soviets at the moment, and the temptation for the Soviets is quite great when the replenishment is insufficient.

After Yang Zhen rejected this request, the Soviets were also unceremonious, saying that if Yang Zhen did not agree, they would stop handing over the German-made weapons they needed to the Anti-Japanese Union, and directly seized a batch of German-made light weapons and artillery that they had planned to transfer. At the same time, he continued to put pressure on Yan'an, asking Yan'an to force Yang Zhen to agree.

This is a very large incident, no less than the incident of mutual seizure of aid and equipment. And it was so big that it even alarmed the Americans. In the end, under the coordination of the vice chairman, the acting chief of staff, and the heads of the US and British military missions to the Soviet Union, who came all the way.

After some quarrels, Yang Zhen finally conditionally agreed to the figure proposed by the Soviets, and agreed to transfer the Soviet-made light weapons in the inventory of the Anti-Japanese Federation, mainly among the weapons and equipment of the captured Outer Mongolian army that year, to the Soviet side after selecting and refurbishing.

In compensation, the Soviets agreed to cut some of the food supplies in order to ease the economic pressure on the Anti-Union. But in terms of the amount of coal available, the Soviets refused to make any cuts. However, the Soviets also agreed to increase the supply of cotton to the United Nations on the basis of what was already available.

As for the Soviets, the United States, which was also quite troubled by this practice of making some moves from time to time, promised to arrange for the Canadian arsenal to produce another 30,000 Browning M-1935 pistols and some 9-millimeter submachine gun ammunition for the Anti-Japanese Union before the second half of the fourth or third year.

At the same time, a batch of trophies from the United States and Britain on the battlefield in North Africa was provided, mainly machine guns and submachine guns, as well as corresponding ammunition. Plus 20,000 carbines, and 6 million carbines. All the weapons, necessary military raw materials and equipment produced by the Anti-Union for the Soviets were supplied by the Americans.

Moreover, this batch of weapons and materials is not counted in the share of aid to the Anti-United Nations, but on the heads of the Soviets. In other words, this deal was a small exchange of light weapons that the Soviets provided for the raw materials and produced and manufactured by the Northeast for them. Although the Northeast has occupied part of the already tight production capacity, after all, it has also replaced some machinery and equipment.

However, although the head of the US military delegation to the Soviet Union did not want Yang Zhen to use the American-made Thomson submachine gun, he supplemented the suggestion that he would leave a gap after supplying his submachine gun to the Soviets. But the suggestion of second-hand German-made submachine guns is somewhat confusing. But the generosity of the Americans finally alleviated the embarrassing situation at that time.

Under this agreement, the Anti-Japanese Federation transferred all the original stocks to the Soviet side. The central authorities also telegraphed to the major military regions that had been reequipped to confiscate all the self-made submachine guns provided by the Anti-Japanese Federation and transport them back to the northeast for refurbishment, and to wait for the German-made submachine guns handed over by the Soviets to be replenished.

In addition to the submachine guns equipped with the first ten divisions and a total of 4,000 units left as an emergency reserve, the rest of the carbines and pistols promised by the Americans were in place, and in the first half of '43, together with the stocks, all were handed over to the Soviets. The 2,000 self-made submachine guns handed over to the Shandong Military Region this time can be said to be the last stock of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

In addition to leaving part for their own use, all the 7.62 mm pistol cartridges in the stock were transferred to the Soviet side. In addition to the 10 divisions, which still retain some self-made submachine guns, the anti-coalition forces, starting from the 11th division to the newly formed units, have generally replaced German-made submachine guns with artillery and other non-front-line combat personnel.

Before this battle, in addition to the Shandong Military Region, there were also some submachine guns manufactured by the Anti-Japanese Federation. The submachine guns equipped by the entire Guannai troops are all German-made submachine guns. Moreover, in the entire Jin-Cha-Ji and Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan strategic areas, the main forces have all been Germanized, and the original Japanese weapons and old guns made in Hanyang have also been completely eliminated.

In the words of the acting chief of staff of the Central Military Commission, Chongqing has been working hard for nearly 10 years from the Great War in the Central Plains to the 77 Incident. As a result, in addition to steel helmets and water bottles, weapons and equipment can only be in caliber at most, which is called German weapons.

At present, the Eighteenth Army, which is the poorest equipped at the moment, almost all of the main forces, have borrowed light to become real German armorers. Except that the steel helmet is American-made British, and the military uniform on the body. Except for some Chinese-made Makqin heavy machine guns, the light weapons have basically been completely Germanized, and even the heavy weapons are equipped with some German-made ones.

However, compared to the anti-union self-made submachine guns with a faster rate of fire, but slightly less accurate, more emphasis on winning with firepower density. For these shots, the accuracy is quite high, and it can even be called a high-precision submachine gun, although the rate of fire is slightly lower, but it is more popular with the Kannai troops.

After all, the submachine gun with a rate of fire of nearly 700 rounds made by the Anti-Japanese Federation itself was, in the eyes of many commanders of the Guannai troops, like those German-made machine guns, a bit too wasteful of bullets. For the long term, it is necessary to rely on seizure and collection to obtain supplies. Commanders of the Kannai troops who have developed the habit of frugality.

This weapon, which was sprayed like rain, made a considerable number of commanders feel very distressed. Two submachine guns fired crossfire, and it was true that it could cover a street. However, within a few tens of minutes, these two submachine guns can deplete a company's ammunition reserves.

The submachine guns of the Anti-United Nations are all good, and the structure is simple. However, this high rate of fire also means that it is too much of a waste of bullets. It is not that the troops in the Guannai have not been equipped with submachine guns, whether it is the large and small arsenals of various factions back then, the imitation of the German-style MP18 submachine gun, or the Thomson submachine gun made by Jin.

However, even the best original imported German-made MP18 submachine gun has a maximum rate of fire of only 400 rounds. The rates of fire of the various factions in the places where they are most used are even lower for the uneven products they make of themselves. A submachine gun with a rate of fire of nearly 700 rounds made by the Anti-Union has really never been used.

Although the rate of fire of the German-made submachine gun was only 500 rounds, the shooting accuracy was extremely high. It can be within the effective range, which can not only meet the relatively accurate shooting, but also ensure the necessary firepower density, which is more suitable for the use of the troops in the customs that pay attention to destroying an enemy with one bullet.

Therefore, although Yang Zhen was not satisfied with this exchange, it was a happy ending after the US-aided carbine was in place and the second-hand goods transferred by the Soviet Union were in place. Although the Soviets were limited by the number of captures and could not achieve one-to-one exchange, the number was sufficient to meet the needs of the troops in the Sekinai.

However, the German-made 75-mm infantry gun handed over by the Soviets was purely a top account, but it was because of the special caliber. The performance is not much stronger than the Japanese-made 41 mountain gun, and at the same time, the weight as an infantry gun is a little large, so the Anti-Union is not equipped for use.

However, this kind of infantry artillery with an extremely fast rate of fire, much more powerful than the Japanese-made 92 infantry guns and 82 mortars, and a long range, which can fire both flat and curved fire, is very popular with the troops in the Guannai. Under the circumstance that the number of Type 41 mountain guns was insufficient, and the power of Type 92 infantry guns as brigade artillery was somewhat insufficient.

This kind of infantry artillery is quite good against fortifications such as Japanese watchtowers. The ballistics are also excellent when it comes to curved shots. The performance of the same rapid decomposition, as well as the weight of the disassembled parts, also made the Kannai troops quite satisfied. Although the firing range is relatively short, it is also very much in line with the operational characteristics of the Kannai team.

The most important thing is that many of the artillery instructors in the Guannai army were born in the former Chongqing unit. This artillery used to be an important piece of equipment for the Central Army in Chongqing, and the familiar equipment made the troops get started quickly. Therefore, this kind of German-made infantry artillery was asked for by the deputy commander-in-chief who came to the northeast for a meeting.
