  • Chinese infantry combat docterine dictates that rifleman should emphasize on accuracy and firepower, rather than rate of fire. As a result, aged but reliable semi-automatic rifles, like type 56 semiautomatic rifle (Licensed copy of Soviet SKS) are kept as standard issues for basic PLA soldiers well into the 21st century. In game, those semi-automatic rifles can indeed deal more damage per shot than M16s and AK47s used by rival forces.

abstract
  • Chinese infantry combat docterine dictates that rifleman should emphasize on accuracy and firepower, rather than rate of fire. As a result, aged but reliable semi-automatic rifles, like type 56 semiautomatic rifle (Licensed copy of Soviet SKS) are kept as standard issues for basic PLA soldiers well into the 21st century. In game, those semi-automatic rifles can indeed deal more damage per shot than M16s and AK47s used by rival forces. Their low rate of fire was countered by numbers, as they were trained in pairs at a Barracks or deployed in fireteams of eight with each Troop Crawler at the China War Factory. They could also garrison buildings and be trained to capture buildings at a Barracks. In groups of 5 or more, Red Guard would experience a 'Horde Effect' that greatly boosted morale and, by extension, fighting prowess. Note that General Shin Fai does not deploy standard Red Guard infantrymen. Fai equips his Red Guard with much more effective miniguns. These "Mini-Gunners" were more expensive, but could deal greater damage and attack aircraft. Due to the prohibitive cost of their weapons, only one was trained at a time.
