Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 161 Victory in the War of Resistance
Wang Gensheng looked at the more than one hundred Sten submachine guns and the whole boxes of nine-millimeter bullets.

Unlike the submachine guns used by the Yamamoto Special Forces, which used .45 caliber submachine guns, the Sten submachine guns used 9mm Parabellum bullets.

In terms of the kinetic energy of a single bullet, there is not much difference between the two. Although the .45 bullet has a large caliber and a heavy bullet head, its muzzle velocity is relatively low. On the other hand, the 9mm bullet has a small caliber and a light bullet head, but its muzzle velocity is relatively high. Therefore, the two are about the same in terms of power.

Moreover, because of its higher initial velocity, the bullet is less prone to dropping, resulting in a longer range. Of course, more importantly, a lighter bullet can carry more bullets of the same weight.

For example, a 9mm Parabellum bullet weighs only 12 grams in total and the bullet itself weighs only 8 grams, but its initial velocity can reach more than 370 meters per second.

This is different from the .45 bullet, whose bullet tip can weigh up to 15 grams and the total weight of the bullet can reach 25 grams, which is twice the weight of a 9mm bullet.

In other words, it can carry 100 rounds of .45 bullets, which is equivalent to carrying 200 rounds of 9mm bullets of the same weight.

Of course, 9mm bullets are not without their drawbacks. They have strong penetrating power, so if they don't hit vital organs, they are not as lethal as .45 bullets.

However, Wang Gensheng could only modify the 9mm bullet in the same way he modified the 6.5mm bullet. The method was very simple: grind down the rounded tip of the bullet to expose the lead core inside. This would increase the resistance when the bullet entered the body, thus forming a bursting bullet and increasing its lethality.

"Hey Commander Wang! This time, I was the one who used myself as bait to get Chu Yunfei to make his move, which gave you the opportunity and excuse to do so. So you can't keep it all to yourself! You have to leave something for your old commander!"

Just after Li Yunlong and Wang Gensheng left Chu Yunfei's Anhua County, Li Yunlong finally couldn't help but speak up.

Wang Gensheng was speechless at Li Yunlong's words, so he immediately took out the Browning M1910 pistol he had snatched from Chu Yunfei's waist and handed it to Li Yunlong, saying:

"Here you go! Chu Yunfei's sidearm, the Flower-Mouthed Rifle, is yours!"

Then, without waiting for Li Yunlong to say anything, Wang Gensheng waved his hand and led the cavalry regiment away.

Time flew by, and in the midst of training with the special cavalry regiment, August 15th arrived in the blink of an eye. Wang Gensheng received the Potsdam Declaration from the Japanese side via radio, which was followed by their unconditional surrender.

Wang Gensheng immediately summoned the special cavalry regiment and entered Taiyuan County. It must be said that the Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan County were very obedient and surrendered without warning.

Thus, Wang Gensheng took over Taiyuan City without firing a single bullet. Of course, after accepting the surrender, Wang Gensheng could no longer attack the surrendered Japanese soldiers.

Despite my deep hatred for it, the most basic rules still need to be followed.

However, unlike Wang Gensheng's side where no one was competing with him, Li Yunlong's territory was a different story. Because Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong were very close, Li Yunlong immediately sent Zhang Dabiao to receive the surrender of the nearby Japanese soldiers to prevent Chu Yunfei from accepting the surrender first.

After all, the Japanese equipment was still very useful. It should be noted that the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to exceed one million in its last year was inextricably linked to the acquisition of Japanese equipment.

Of course, relying on the speed of his special cavalry regiment, Wang Gensheng successively accepted the surrender of two regiments, acquiring tens of thousands of rifles. Unfortunately, Wang Gensheng didn't value the rifles at all, so he distributed them to other Eighth Route Army units.
"Negotiation! Negotiation! Commander, when do you think we're going to make a move against that old medaka?!"

At the headquarters of the Special Cavalry Regiment, Li Xiu looked at the newspaper in his hand and complained to Wang Gensheng, who remained silent for a while before speaking:

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the War of Resistance against Japan has just ended, and we've suffered huge losses. So, all the people of Huaguo want peace. Therefore, we can't rashly start a war, otherwise, all the people of Huaguo will criticize us! We can't lose our sense of righteousness, but Lao Jing certainly won't let this go easily! So, we just have to wait until Lao Jing makes the first move, then it will be time for us to fight back!"

However, just as Wang Gensheng and the core members of the Special Cavalry Regiment were discussing the peace talks between the two sides, Du Yiman took out a telegram and said to Wang Gensheng:

"Commander, the General Headquarters has sent a telegram ordering us to go to Yan'an!"

Wang Gensheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then he realized that this might be about discussing the reorganization!

In fact, Wang Gensheng was very curious about the reorganization, after all, his special cavalry regiment was directly under the command of the Eighth Route Army Command.

Therefore, Wang Gensheng was curious about how to reorganize it, since there were a total of four field armies in the war of unification!

The Third Field Army will not be mentioned, as it was reorganized from the New Fourth Army and was not one of the Three Lions of the Eighth Route Army.

The three lions of the Eighth Route Army were the First Field Army, which was reorganized from the 120th Lion of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the Second Field Army, it was reorganized from the 129th Army and was the direct superior of the 386th Army. Before Wang Gensheng was assigned to the Eighth Route Army, he should have been a member of the Second Field Army.

As for the Fourth Field Army, it was the 115th Army, where Ding Wei and Kong Jie were stationed. The reason they were stationed there instead of in the Second Field Army was mainly due to a transfer.

Of course, what Wang Gensheng was thinking about now was which field army he would be assigned to after he went to Yan'an. According to Wang Gensheng's estimation, it was very likely to be the Second Field Army, since the Second Field Army was reorganized from the 129th Army, so going to the 129th Army would be very reasonable.

This way, it could be considered a return to his maternal home. Although Wang Gensheng had many thoughts in his mind, he immediately ordered the entire army to move out, and they set off with their weapons and ammunition on their warhorses.

With two thousand men and four thousand warhorses, the horses were rotated for rest. Although Wang Gensheng was more than four hundred kilometers away from Yan'an, he still managed to arrive in Yan'an in the early hours of the morning.

This is the speed at which warhorses can gallop long distances, a speed that infantry cannot match.

Of course, driving 400 kilometers for more than 10 hours from morning to midnight is nothing for a car, but in this era, in an era without paved highways and high-speed rail, it is already considered very good.
