The Battle of Tai'erzhuang
A Chinese machine gun placement is trying to defend its location while their fellow comrades are charging towards the enemy during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
This scene didn’t made it into the final part my brickfilm about the Second Sino-Japanese War. The concept was later reused for another brickfilm of mine called: Lego WWII zombies: Unit 429, where this scene depicted ‘’The Battle of Tai'erzhuang ‘’. a battle of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1938, between the armies of the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. The battle was the first major Chinese victory of the war. It humiliated the Japanese military and its reputation as an invincible force, while for the Chinese it represented a tremendous morale boost.
The reason why this scene didn’t made it into the brickfilm about the Second Sino-Japanese War was because of the time and that the weapons used of that scene wasn’t impressive (I didn’t had a MG08 during that time). A lot of scenes didn’t made into that brickfilm and some concepts and scenes were reused for Unit 429.
The Chinese actually had their own version of the MG08 Because of the Sino-German alliance, the Germans supplied the Chinese with MG08s. In 1935, the Chinese began to produce the derivative Type 24 Heavy machine gun.
The Type 24 Heavy machine gun, was first introduced to the National Revolutionary Army in 1935, designed to replace the MG 08s. It was the standard heavy machine gun for all Nationalists, Communists, and Warlords from 1935. They were usually made in the Hanyang Arsenal. Like the original MG 08, because of transportation difficulties, the M1917 Browning machine gun and other machine guns slowly replaced the Type 24 for the NRA after the Chinese Civil War. The PM M1910, and the SG-43 Goryunov (or Type 53/57 Machine gun) slowly replaced the Type 24 Heavy machine gun after the Chinese Civil War, but it was kept in service with the PLA, KPA and the NVA until the 1960s during the Vietnam War.
Overall I’m glad that I could reused this concept in a future project, even though it was for a very short scene.
