LETTER FROM THE COMMANDER OF THE CHINESE 8TH ARMY, ZHU DE,
TO THE COMMANDER OF THE TRANSBAIKAL FRONT,
ON THE DISLOCACTION OF CHINESE TROOPS
Yan’an, September 14, 1945.
To the Commander of the Transbaikal Front,
Marshal of the Soviet Union Comrade Malinovsky.
From your representative, Lieutenant Colonel Comrade. We learned
that the Kuomintang troops and the troops of the 8th People’s Revolutionary Army will be able
to enter Manchuria only after a specially set deadline, after the evacuation
of the Red Army from there.
To meet your wishes, I have ordered individual units
8 HPAs that entered Mukden, Changchun, Dairen, Pingquan and other locations
Manchuria, immediately evacuate from the areas occupied by the Red Army.
After the start of the anti-Japanese war in 1937, parts of the 8th NRA were already operating
in the territory of the province of Zhehe and Liaoning, where they established bases (see
attached diagram*). In this regard, the parts of the 8th NRA operating in the above-mentioned
areas, please leave at the place of their deployment. (They were before and they stay there - Decard)
And in which campaign you will see them since we don’t have Chinese faction ? The Enlisted model dose not support such redistribution of weapons if it was focused more on small factions and early campaigns and pre WW 2 battles would be interesting however Enlisted is focused mainly on mid and late war campaigns and 4 faction model.
Well I think will be far better to limit such squads then continue expanding it. Its far more important to have more guns in the TT then having them as event weapons. Japan has very few options for weapons and the 4 faction model simply is beneficial to bring majority of Chinese equipment in the Japanese TT.
As you can see it can be perfect event squad or premium or even paratrooper squad for Japan. Since Japan has very few event squads so far the lowest of all the other nations and most of the times is just lazy squads. The only unique squad Japan got was the paratroopers only 1 squad and the worst ,the rifleman with the flags and the flame planes. All other event squads Japan got where lazy radio operators ,combat engineers, Apc squads and the Tiger 1 squad where all lazy ways the devs to say ohh look we are making squads for Japan but non of them where unique. So far Japan has the worst event squads.
its not even a Chinese rifle, its Manchurian.
Besides some communist spies being in the region doesnt change the fact that the rifle was NOT used by the Chinese People´s Liberation Army during the Second Sino-Japanese war, especially since most of the rifles were deployed elsewhere by 1945.
I dont get it, why do you want Manchurian weapons for Soviets so bad?
They make 101% more sense historically with Japan and its not like Japan does not the these guns more than Soviets. Even before Japanese occupation the Fengtian clique was closely aligned with Japan and hardcore anti-communist.
The claim that the weapon belongs to SU because Communist Chinese troops have maybe captured a handful of these rifles is just ridiculous on all levels.
Literally just two weeks ago I offered a bunch of guns on silver plate to SU faction, pick some other gun and stop your nonsense.
I like some good uniqe stuff for su. Chinese is closer allies. There was a joint operations with them - so gain hundreds of chinese uniqe guns is a great idea
A respectable point, but you laid your eyes on a bad gun.
There really is no point for Soviets to steal this rifle from Japan.
I have suggested other unique rifles for Soviets and I still have one up my sleeve, not to mention that the topic I linked {firearms used by communist forces} is full of interesting and unique guns.
not a good idea if they have Chinese weapons, we would end up with Chinese troops running around in Stalingrad or Berlin, unless thats what you want.
So far all Czech weapons got added to Axis, which is the most historically accurate choice.
in the Western Allies.
Unless you are also fine with adding Russian Liberation Army to Axis since Polish Army in the east is just controversial for Polish people.
Well here he has a point Polish army in the east was part of the war and its not controversial. History is what it is if we go to controversial part Churchill said “Poland is a greedy hyena of Europe” so you cant change history cuz its not fitting your political view. Poland participated in Berlin offensive :
