When many people watch the anti-Japanese drama, they will be curious about the circle of bags hanging on the chest of the Eighth Route Army. The bag doesn't look big or small, the gun certainly can't fit, and it seems a little strange to take it for dry food. In fact, what hung on the chest of the Eighth Route Army was the so-called bullet bag. After all, the bullets in the magazine will always run out one day, if you don't prepare them in advance, once you run out, it will be dangerous. Therefore, the soldiers will use special bullet bags to pack the bullets and hang them on their bodies. When it is convenient for combat, feel free to take it out.
So, is the real bullet bag as delicate and small as in the play? In fact, the TV series is wrong. Those bullet bags with rich design aesthetics and materials or all kinds of new leather and cotton are deceptive. If you look at the real old photos, you will know that the bullet bags hanging on the chests of the Eighth Route Army are all tattered small cloth bags that have been sewn and repaired several times.
Why did the bullet bags of the Eighth Route Army look so vicissitudes? First, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we were not only short of troops, but also very short of materials; sometimes the living security of the soldiers was barely supported by the generosity of the common people. Even the unified guns and ammunition cannot be fully equipped like the Us Japanese army. A small bullet bag, it is impossible to distribute uniformly. Moreover, the old guns used by the Eighth Route Army had a limited number of bullets that could be loaded in the magazine, so the soldiers always carried bullets with them.
Second, we did not have any advanced things such as armored vehicles at that time, and the marching operation was entirely on the legs, encountering many dangerous terrain environments, and still needed to crawl over mountains and mountains. In the long run, the bullet bags have long been worn out and torn, but our soldiers cherish the material very much and will not easily discard the bullet bags because they are damaged.
Therefore, the bullet bags carried by the Eighth Route Army continued to hang on their chests after being repaired several times. In fact, the soldiers' bullets are not as bulging as they seem. A lot of warriors, one person equipped with a few bullets. The bullet pouch that surrounds the chest is actually stuffed with various fillings to confuse the Japanese army and create a momentum of sufficient ammunition for our army.
Therefore, the new and high-end bullet bags in the TV series are all deceitful. If it is only an ordinary cloth bag, it is slightly in line with history, if it is all leather material, it has seriously deviated from historical facts. Not only the bullet bag, but also the military uniform has been worn countless times, and the seams have been repaired and worn back on the body. Therefore, even though the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is over, the elders still educate us with the spirit of "thrift and thrift, hard work", in order to let us not forget our original intentions.
