The Type 56 light machine gun is a kind of machine gun that is a kind of machine gun that is China's imitation of the Soviet Union's RPD light machine gun, finalized in 1956, and finalized in 1963 after improved design and finalization of Type 56-1, which is equipped with a large number of troops, and is a machine gun with the longest and largest amount of equipment in China. What kind of ** would it be if it appeared in World War II?
The Type 56 light machine gun adopts the principle of gas conduction automatic, the locking plate is open and locked, and the ammunition is fed by the bullet chain and the bullet chain box, which can only be fired in bursts, and the barrel is fixed. Bullets used: Chinese Type 56 762x39 mm rifle cartridges. It is best to shoot at a single target within 500 meters, and concentrated fire can shoot at aircraft, paratroopers and group targets within 800 meters, and the warhead can still be lethal when it flies up to 1,500 meters.
The main features of the Type 56 light machine gun are the following:
Safety device: Above the trigger, on the right side of the receiver, there is a safety with thumb pulling. Forward is the insurance, backward is the launch.
Unloading process: pull back the handle, pull the safety to the front, push forward the clamp of the bomb receiving cover, lift the cover, pull the bullet chain to the left side, put it back into the drum, check, confirm that the ammunition inlet and chamber are empty, and close the bomb receiving cover.

If the Type 56 light machine gun appeared in World War II, what effect and impact would it have on the course and outcome of the war?This is a difficult hypothetical question to answer because there are so many historical variables and assumptions involved. However, we can make some speculations from the following aspects:
If China is equipped with Type 56 light machine guns in the War of Resistance Against Japan, then the fire support capability of the squadron will be greatly improved, especially in complex terrain such as mountains, jungles, and cities, the Type 56 light machine gun can exert excellent performance and cause greater pressure on the Japanese army. At the same time, the Type 56 light machine gun can also be used as an anti-tank ** against the light tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army, increasing the defense capability of the squadron. In addition, the Type 56 light machine gun can also be used for air defense, against Japanese aircraft and paratroopers, and to improve the air defense capability of the squadron.
