"The Choice of Wisdom: The Weapon Wisdom of the Eighth Route Army in the Scarcity of Materials"
Hi fellow military news fans, welcome back to my blog. Today, we will delve into the weapon choices made by the Eighth Route Army in the face of lack of materials during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which is a history full of wisdom and hard work.
First of all, looking back at the situation at that time, the Eighth Route Army faced a serious shortage of materials in the early days of the anti-Japanese war. The "Hanyang-made rifle" in his hand is not only cumbersome to operate, low accuracy, but also easy to explode, almost equivalent to bare hands. With the advanced weapons of the enemy, our army must strive for victory through clever tactics and heroic battles.
In this environment, the Eighth Route Army showed admirable perseverance and wisdom. Faced with a scarcity of supplies, they did not choose to give up lightly, but responded with flexible tactics and thoughtful military wisdom. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the lag of our army's equipment, the submachine gun with high cost and high consumption was not applicable, and the 38 large cover rifle became an ideal choice because of its simplicity, stability and adaptability.
Why did the Eighth Route Army prefer the 38 Dagai rifle to the submachine gun when picking up the enemy's weapons on the battlefield? There are many deliberate reasons for this. First of all, the high rate of fire of the submachine gun and the large amount of ammunition consumed in the case of a lack of supplies seemed to outweigh the benefits. Although submachine guns had advantages in close-range firepower, they were not the best choice at the time due to their high manufacturing costs and high bullet consumption.
On the contrary, the Japanese 38 large cover rifle performed well in a war environment. Its simple design, stable structure and strong adaptability make it more practical in actual combat. In the guerrilla warfare carried out by the Eighth Route Army, flexibility and precision strikes are crucial, and the 38 Dagai rifle meets these needs. Under difficult conditions, pragmatism became the guiding principle of the Eighth Route Army, which chose the most suitable weapons for their needs, rather than blindly pursuing the so-called "advanced".
However, the choice of weapons on the battlefield is not just a technical consideration. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army often did not easily choose submachine guns when picking up enemy weapons on the battlefield. This is not simply a technical issue, but a deliberate consideration of the consequences. The bullets of submachine guns are usually incompatible with our weapons, which makes picking up enemy weapons can cause a series of problems, such as friendly accidental injuries, confusion of identification, etc. In a war environment with fierce contradictions between friend and foe, it is necessary to be cautious in choosing to pick up the enemy's weapons, and the Eighth Route Army has effectively solved this problem through the training of soldiers and the establishment of a mechanism for identifying friend or foe.
These wise decisions of the Eighth Route Army played a positive role in the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. In the face of a serious shortage of weapons, they finally won the War of Resistance against Japan through methods such as actual demand orientation, flexibility and maneuverability, and clever identification. This history tells us that overcoming difficulties requires not only scientific and technological strength, but also wisdom and perseverance.
Of course, looking back on history is not only to remember the hard years, but also to remember that history and inherit that kind of bravery and responsibility. We should cherish today's peace, inherit the spirit of the martyrs, and work hard to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is the best tribute to history and the best preparation for the future.
