Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1150 Rear
Neiji Okamura was right in saying this, the AK47 is indeed not something that should exist in this world.

Because once a kind of equipment needs to be developed and perfected, it must first have an evolution process, secondly it needs time to verify, and finally it needs to be continuously improved after being tested in actual combat on the battlefield.

And the AK47 of the Eighth Route Army is perfect as soon as it comes out. Although it is simple and rough, it is easy to operate, high in safety, and its range can meet the combat requirements...

Although Neiji Okamura felt strange in his heart, but because of the psychological preparation for the previous things, he was a little calm to accept it now.

But acceptance is one thing, and problems still have to be faced.

Neiji Okamura stared at the map and fell into deep thought. After a period of choice and thinking, he finally made a difficult decision.

"Temporarily put aside the conflict with the Eighth Route Army!" Neiji Okamura ordered: "Keep bombing the Daqingshan Iron and Steel Works with 'human missiles' or 'cherry blossom bombs'!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied.

After Shinozuka Yoshio left, Okamura Ningji said to Kono Shinta again: "Kono-kun, you should mention this to Hans, I think we will also use this kind of rifle in the future, so... …Even if you can’t produce now, you can prepare for the future!”

"Yes!" Shino Kono replied.

Shinta Kono can actually understand Neiji Okamura's approach. What if the empire is able to produce it after obtaining this technology?
In fact, Kono Shinta didn't completely guess this idea correctly.

Neiji Okamura thought farther.

He was thinking about a question: If this kind of intermediate power bullet perfectly solves the problem of excess power and continuous firing of the bolt-type rifle, does it mean that this kind of rifle is the future?

That is to say, in the near future, all rifles in all countries will be replaced with this kind of continuous rifle.

Of course, this includes the rich and powerful Eagle Sauce... Eagle Sauce is for the purpose of destroying the enemy without considering the issue of ammunition. Therefore, if there is such a rifle, they will definitely want to equip it immediately.

And the main opponent of the empire in the future is Eagle Sauce.

So Okamura Ningji was thinking: If the empire successfully occupied the entire territory of Huaxia and transformed it into a base for defending Yingchan, but Yingchan was equipped with a bursting rifle but the imperial army did not... then what would happen? significance?Didn't the imperial army collapse like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves in the face of Eagle Sauce's firepower?
Therefore, in order to prevent the eagle sauce, it is necessary to master the technology of this gun and find a way to install it.

In order to prevent the empire from getting Hans' technology if the situation changes, the insurance policy is to get this technology from Hans now.

However, Neiji Okamura took it for granted.

Even if he could understand this, his superior, the Tokyo side, couldn't understand it.

At this time, the top management of the empire was still in a very stubborn and conservative tactical thinking. They were not even willing to equip the troops with submachine guns, which used pistol bullets, let alone assault rifles?

Therefore, if Ningji Okamura wants to successfully install an assault rifle, the first thing he needs to convince is his superior.

And to do this, I am afraid it is more difficult than obtaining high-precision machine tools.

Shinta Kono then asked: "Your Excellency, have you thought of a way to deal with the Eighth Route Army?"

After a pause, seeing that Neiji Okamura did not answer, Shinta Kono added: "What I mean is, if we put all our strength to deal with the recalcitrant army and put the Eighth Route Army aside first, will this be given to the Eighth Route Army to develop? Time? I’m afraid the Eighth Route Army will be even more difficult to deal with by then?”

Neiji Okamura sighed, and replied: "Kono-kun, why haven't I thought about this? But, what can we do now?"

Kono Shinta nodded slightly, the current situation is indeed a bit tricky.

In fact, it's not just tricky, it should be said that it's impossible to get started.

Fighting the Eighth Route Army or fighting the recalcitrant army, there must always be a focus, right?

If both are important, it means that nothing is important, and you will get nothing in the end.

If the Eighth Route Army is the focus...it means that the troops that attacked the recalcitrant army must be brought back, and at least a few divisions must be brought back.

Because with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, especially after being equipped with bursting rifles, it is estimated that reinforcements from few divisions will not be of much use.

But this means that the empire's offensive in the direction of the recalcitrant army will be destroyed, and the "No. [-] Plan" to open up the north-south communication line is basically impossible to realize.

If the focus is on the recalcitrant army... the Eighth Route Army will have bought time, and there will be more and more rifles and more fighter planes. By then, the empire may not be able to control it.

Shinta Kono prefers to focus on the Eighth Route Army, because he thinks the Eighth Route Army is too scary to let them develop like this.

Okamura Neiji seemed to see through Kono Shinta's thoughts, he said: "Actually, I put the Eighth Route Army as the focus and put them aside first!"

Kono really couldn't understand these words: "Your Excellency, since you focused on the Eighth Route Army, you gave them time to develop..."

Neiji Okamura pointed to the map and said, "Please look, Mr. Kono: The Eighth Route Army has occupied Daqing Mountain, Luliang Mountain, and Zhongtiao Mountain. These three mountains are connected to each other to form a natural line of defense on the north, east, and south sides. The base area. It is impossible for our army to enter the mountainous area to fight the Eighth Route Army, and there will be huge casualties and no results!"

This is reality.

The main reason is that this is China, and places like Luliang Mountain, Daqing Mountain, and Zhongtiao Mountain, which can be called almost barren lands, are particularly important whether they can get the support of the people on the mountains.

Of course the common people would choose to support the Eighth Route Army, so the devils would have difficulty moving an inch in the mountainous areas.

Neiji Okamura continued: "There are only two places that can be attacked, one is the Daqingshan Iron and Steel Plant, and the other is Yuncheng."

Shinta Kono continued: "But these two places are hard to be occupied by our army at this time, because the Eighth Route Army will send troops equipped with repeating rifles to garrison them!"

Neiji Okamura nodded: "Even if we can capture it, the Eighth Route Army has the advantage of continuous-fire rifles, and it may be very easy to take it back. So the battle will develop a tug-of-war. The defense line has not changed, only the enemy and ourselves have changed. The number of casualties of our army...and in the case that the enemy has repeating rifles, the casualties of our army will probably remain high!"

Shinta Kono agrees.

Although the empire had already transferred hundreds of thousands of troops from the country at this time, there was still a shortage of troops and it was impossible to "compete" with the Eighth Route Army.

"So!" Neiji Okamura pointed his finger at Xi'an and said, "If we can eliminate the stubborn army in a short time, we can go around to the rear of the Eighth Route Army..."
