Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 343 Persuade to surrender
A few days later, the first batch of thirty engineering shovels arrived in Honggou Village.

Wang Xuexin took the engineer shovel to try the feel, and he was quite satisfied.

Its length is slightly shorter than the broadsword... At this time, most of the anti-Japanese broadswords used by the Chinese army were in the format of broadswords produced in Beiping, with a total length of 90 cm and a weight of 1.6 kg.

Although the weight is only a little over three catties, there are many Eighth Route Army soldiers who are chronically malnourished or young, and it is difficult to wield this big knife with one hand.

To be precise, it’s not about “playing” without moving. It’s okay to use this three-pound object to put on a stance. The problem is that fighting the enemy on the battlefield is not just like this, such as using a big knife to open a bayonet stabbed by a devil... If it takes effort to carry the knife, there will be no speed and no strength on the knife, so this life will be over.

Therefore, some strong fighters must be equipped with a broadsword on the battlefield. For example, a monk carries a broadsword on his back all year round.

Ordinary fighters really need to practice more and play more if they want to play well.

Wang Xuexin's engineer shovel has a total length of 60cm and weighs only 1.35kg. This weight and length are very suitable for ordinary soldiers, and it is not difficult to use even those who have not practiced.

In addition, after it is folded, there is only a 25cm long shovel surface, which can be stuffed into a satchel or carried directly on the back, without the inconvenience of a large knife and a wooden-handled engineer shovel... a long shovel will appear on the back of the large knife The long handle makes it inconvenient to walk through the jungle. Engineer shovels with wooden handles are usually buckled on the side and waist, and the wooden handle will restrict movement.

Sun Ming also tried it, and felt that it was very comfortable, so he folded it and carried it on his back, feeling a little strange in his heart.

The length, weight, and folded size should theoretically require long-term testing, repeated verification, and multiple revisions to know.

However, Xiaodongbei directly gave the data and drew the drawings, and after the production, it was perfect in all aspects.

How did he do that?
luck?

guess?

Or is it just a feeling?

What Sun Ming didn't know was that as a veteran in modern times, Wang Xuexin had already memorized all aspects of engineering shovel data by heart, so of course there was no need for testing.

However, Sun Ming was most concerned about the "flying claw" function of the engineer shovel.

After fiddling with it, he asked Wang Xuexin: "Company Commander Wang, this flying claw..."

Wang Xuexin didn't say much, grabbed the engineering shovel and folded the surface of the shovel to 90 degrees. Once the rivet was inserted to fix the handle, a flying claw with the surface of the shovel as a barb was formed.

Wang Xuexin carefully wiped the serrated teeth on one side of the spade with his fingers, and said: "These serrated teeth will increase the bite force when the spade surface hooks objects. It is not a big problem to bear the weight of a person. A rope is tied to the end of the handle..."

As he spoke, he raised the ring handle of the engineer shovel, and Sun Ming understood.

In fact, not only the side of the sawtooth, but the sharp blade on the other side will also get stuck into the barrier to increase friction when pulling back, especially for wooden objects.

Sun Ming couldn't wait to try it out, and the result was very satisfactory. He only needed to throw the engineering shovel on the roof or wooden beams, and he could climb to the commanding heights in three or two strokes, so the deployment of snipers could be completed quickly.

Not only that, but a sapper shovel makes an ideal gun rack...

After getting to the commanding heights, you only need to nail the engineer shovel to the wooden beam, or put it on the roof, and the rifle can be stably mounted on it.

In addition, it is also in line with the principle of snipers to leave a way for themselves at any time.

In the past, it is troublesome and time-consuming to leave a way out for yourself, and sometimes it is basically impossible to achieve.

But it's different with sapper shovels.

Soldiers only need to buckle the engineer shovel where they want to play, and they can transfer it at any time.

Looking at the engineer shovel, Sun Ming was convinced by Wang Xuexin.Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide his admiration for Wang Xuexin on his face.

Then Sun Ming came up with an idea: If there is the industrial foundation of the Jinsui Army and Xiaobei's whimsical ideas, wouldn't it be possible to produce more and more advanced equipment?

Unfortunately……

or……

Thinking about it, Sun Ming looked around, leaned up to Wang Xuexin and whispered, "Brother Wang, your ability is a treasure in troubled times! Brother Wang, have you ever thought that... maybe you can show your strengths in other places?"

Wang Xuexin almost sprayed his old blood on the ceiling. We still want to recruit Sun Ming, but this guy Sun Ming wants to poach the corner instead?

"Brother Sun means..." Wang Xuexin pretended to be confused.

Seeing that Wang Xuexin was interested, Sun Ming immediately went on to say: "Brother Wang, as the saying goes, 'make the best use of everything', the Eighth Route Army has nothing at all. Sun thought that Brother Wang was buried here! If Brother Wang is willing to switch to Jinsui Army, Mr. Sun can recommend Brother Wang to ensure that Brother Wang will be reused, and it will be easy to get promoted and make a fortune, and Brother Wang will be able to use what he has learned, which will definitely be of great benefit to China's war of resistance!"

What Sun Ming said really made some sense.

Although the military industry of the Jin Army is no longer as brilliant as it was in the Taiyuan Arms Factory, it has snatched 2% of the key equipment, including more than 1000 machine tools and more than 200 motors, and has the ability to produce guns and ammunition.

If Wang Xuexin can switch to the Jin army, he will probably be able to play a greater role.

but……

As a modern person, Wang Xuexin certainly would not be so stupid as to join the Jinsui Army who was either wiped out or surrendered to the Eighth Route Army in the end, although the situation of the Jinsui Army was much better than that of the Eighth Route Army at this time.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin asked without answering, "Brother Sun, do you think China can defeat the devils in this battle?"

Sun Ming was taken aback, and asked, "Brother Wang, why did you say devil?"

Wang Xuexin replied: "The result of this battle is nothing more than two possibilities. One is that China wins and the other is that the devils win. If China cannot defeat the devils, it does not make any difference whether Wang Xuexin is in the Eighth Route Army or the Jinsui Army. If China can defeat the devils, Brother Wang, do you think the Jinsui Army can compete with the Eighth Route Army?"

When Wang Xuexin said this about Sun Ming, he was speechless.

As an adjutant of the regiment, Sun Ming knew the situation of the Jinsui Army very well.

This army of more than 358 people could still maintain considerable combat effectiveness when they were fighting the war wholeheartedly, but now it is getting worse day by day.If there is any other unit that can fight, it is only Chu Yunfei's [-] regiment.

But how can only one 358 regiment turn the situation around?

Just like this battle, the 358th regiment really wanted to fight the devils to the end, but it couldn't stop the internal rebels from stabbing in the back.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army's morale was high and united.

This is still second, its biggest advantage is that it is deeply supported by the people all over the country, which enables the Eighth Route Army to quickly replenish its source of troops and grow stronger no matter where it goes... This is a source of water, and the more it can fight, the more it will be endless.

On the other hand, the Jinsui Army can only rely on strong men to maintain its scale at this time. How can such an army be an opponent of the Eighth Route Army?

Some gaps in equipment and industry are not worth mentioning in front of this combat power.

Thinking of this, Sun Ming felt a little embarrassed.

Because if Wang Xuexin understands this point, the so-called kindly persuasion just now is to lead Wang Xuexin into a pit.
