Zhang Chi even remembers that the US military collapsed in an instant because it was rushed into the team by the Japanese army... The US military did not have the courage to fight with the Japanese army, which was related to the fact that the US military had almost never conducted sting training. They believed that the more useful weapon was bullets, and fighting with bayonets was something that only fools would do.

Therefore, although the US military has an absolute advantage over the Japanese army in terms of body shape and strength, it was frightened and ran away when they saw the "blank-legged dwarf" holding a bright bayonet rushing in front of them.

This is obviously very dangerous on the battlefield, because the Japanese always choose to make a desperate bet at the last moment, that is, to attack Yuzai. And this kind of attack has been upgraded to this day... In the past, the Japanese attack always picked up the gun and roared and rushed for a while.

Such an attack obviously would not work, because the firepower of the Sino-US coalition forces was strong enough to eliminate the Japanese before they rushed to the position. So over time, the Japanese "Yu Zhuo Offensive" developed... and some soldiers hid or disguised as corpses along the way. At the moment of the Jade Zhuo attack, these "corpses" would jump from the ground to create riots for the US military, and the large army also took this opportunity to follow up.

Of course, the Chinese troops don’t have to be afraid of the Japanese tactic.

The first reason is that the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force have good shooting skills and psychological qualities. Suddenly, a group of "corpses" jumped up from the ground, and the soldiers would raise their guns without blushing and "bang" and knock them down.

Another is that the Expeditionary Army soldiers dare to fight in close combat with the Japanese. If they don’t have time to shoot, they simply go up and fight with the Japanese. Even if the skills of the thorns are not as good as those of the Japanese, it is not a problem to entangle the Japanese for a while and let other people organize firepower to suppress the Japanese troops.

But the US military is not good. If this happens, they will be in chaos and then chased by the Japanese like ducks... This may very likely make the Japanese army reverse the entire battle situation.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Chi couldn't think of any good idea.

Practicing marksmanship is not a matter of one day or one night. Psychological quality and bayonet fighting will need to be cultivated for a long time.

"Peter!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi summoned Pit in front of him.

"Do you have that...shotgun!" Zhang Chi asked.

"You mean trench gun?" Peter said while making a unique way to put trench guns on bullets.

"Yes, it's a trench gun!" Zhang Chi knew that this meant that there was.

Sure enough, Pete nodded and replied, "Of course there is. But...why do you ask that thing for?"

"Of course it's useful!"

As he said that, Zhang Chi hung up a phone call to Major General Jack.

"General!" Zhang Chi said: "I hope to transfer one thousand...if possible, two thousand trench guns!"

"Trench gun?" Major General Jack asked a little strangely: "Col. You are planning to use trench guns to equip my troops!"

"Is there any problem?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Of course!" Major General Jack replied: "They are all old guns from World War I. Their range is too short. I don't think they will be better than the m1 rifle!"

"You're right!" Zhang Chi replied: "I don't think they will be better than the m1 rifle either!"

There is no doubt about this point. The power of the trench gun is very powerful, but the range is too short, only a dozen or twenty meters. Even if it can hit the target even further, it may not even be able to penetrate a piece of cardboard.

It is precisely because of this that the US military does not intend to bring this equipment to the battlefield.

To be precise, this kind of gun is a melee weapon when it is commonly used in the first battle... because it has a large capacity of ammunition, fast shooting (pumping is fast and 6-capacity ammunition), and has great power. In melee, there is almost no need to aim, and just pull the trigger toward the target... the bullet will be shot out like a scattered girl, which can effectively block the target.

The "blocking" mentioned here means that the bullet can prevent the target from advancing and even knock the target away after hitting the target... This is very useful in melee battles, because if the enemy is holding a bayonet and is close enough, an ordinary rifle may not be able to prevent the target from stabbing the bayonet into your chest regardless of whether it hits the target or not, but the trench gun can.

Therefore, trench guns were also called trench sweepers in World War I. It is said that during World War I, German soldiers were unable to bear the attack of this gun, so the government issued diplomatic documents to protest the use of shotguns, such as inhumane weapons in violation of international conventions. However, the effect of this protest document was equivalent to a successful commercial advertisement for the shotgun, which made the United States more determined to use this gun on the battlefield.

However, this was only the case during World War I.

Now, the US military has fully equipped the m1 semi-automatic rifle. The range and accuracy of the m1 are much better than the trench gun. The 7.62 mm bullet power is not weak, so the trench gun loses the market.

However, Zhang Chi believes that it also uses the value of use.

"General!" Zhang Chi continued: "I mean, we can use it to make up for the shortcomings of American soldiers' melee combat!"

"You mean..." Jack couldn't help but be stunned.

He also knew that the US soldiers had insufficient melee combat capabilities. In previous battles, there had been many cases of suffering losses because they were rushed to close by by the Japanese army. However, Major General Jack had no choice but to do so. All he could do was repeatedly warn the troops not to let the Japanese approach. At this time, when Zhang Chi said this, Jack felt that he might be able to give it a try.

"I mean..." Zhang Chi explained: "Why don't we let them partially equip trench guns, and soldiers equipped with trench guns can carry two types of guns at the same time, using an m1 rifle at long distances and a trench gun at close range!"

"Will it be possible to use two spears at the same time..." Jack was worried about the inconvenience of movement.

"No!" Zhang Chi replied: "There is no need to worry about this problem on the Pacific battlefield."

If it is a terrain like Vietnam or Myanmar, and vines are everywhere in the forest, it may be a bit unsuitable, because the spear on the back will always hook something, but the Pacific battlefields are mostly sandy terrain or thatched vegetation.

"Okay!" Jack nodded and agreed, "Anyway, it won't cost us anyway, so I'll apply to transport three thousand trench guns, so that the first regiment can allocate one thousand! If there is any excess, it will be used as inventory replacement!"

"Okay, general!"

After putting down the phone, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief. If the trench gun could be equipped in place, the shortcomings of the US Fourth Division would be well filled. (To be continued.)8
