Chapter 166 Bullets are crazy, only bayonets are reliable (2)
There is certainly a reason why those senior army leaders are so stubborn.
Since its establishment, the Black Hawk Army has highlighted two basic skills in the army, one is the precise shooting of weapons, and the other is the so-called hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, and these two are used as a reflection of the samurai spirit.
The Black Hawk Army's rifles have high accuracy, long range, long gun body, longer bayonets, and even sacrifice performance such as stability and power to highlight these properties. Among the world's rifles, the Black Hawk Army's rifles shoot the farthest, shoot the most accurately, and are most suitable for stinging, but the power is the least and the stability is average.
Before the war, after going through many battles, the Black Hawks won a complete victory in dealing with this series of opponents that were much weaker than themselves.
Anyone will often be proud once they win continuously. The Black Hawk Army believes that its theory is completely free of problems and is completely in line with practical needs.
In fact, this theory was correct before the war began, but many battles in the later period had shattered this theory. The Black Hawk Empire was so arrogant because they did not fully intervene in the war, so they didn't understand it.
In the late stage of the Battle of Haicheng, hundreds of thousands of Black Hawks in Haicheng had exhausted ammunition for rifles and machine guns, and the Black Hawk Empire could not provide enough supplements for a short time, so it had to urgently second it to the Black Hawks in the north. The Black Hawks' company's existing demand for rifle and machine guns was not yet effectively coped with, so what else should we talk about submachine guns? According to the experience of other countries, once the submachine gun is equipped, the ammunition consumption will definitely not be less than that of light machine guns. In this way, the Black Hawks' logistics supply system will probably be destroyed.
However, the supply problem is always second-hand. If the Black Hawk Army wants to use submachine guns, there will always be a way to solve the existing problem over the years. The key is the concept of the senior management. Their thinking is still on the concept of "if one bullet can kill the enemy, why fire a bunch of bullets and consume resources."
The various infantry weapons of the Black Hawk Empire Army at that time were not only long-range, but also all of them could be equipped with bayonets, and even light machine guns and submachine guns were no exception.
Equipping submachine guns with bayonets is the only one in the world. The only other is the Stend submachine gun that was later equipped with bayonets, but there have not been many actual combat.
The Black Hawk Army executives even believed that submachine guns are small light machine guns that can be used by single players. They can first perform single-shot precise shooting at a distance and then fully automatic shooting at close range.
Obviously, this positioning is inexplicable and wrong.
Because the positioning of a submachine gun should be: melee weapons that exert power within 100 to 200 meters must have high firing speed, strong firepower and large loading capacity.
The positioning of the Black Hawk Army's senior management was actually the positioning of the automatic rifle later.
If an automatic rifle can shoot accurately in a distance, it must be required to have a long barrel and use rifle bullets. In this way, the first thing is that the entire gun is heavy and the ammunition is heavy, and it is difficult for a single soldier to carry it. Secondly, because long-range shooting is required, the bullet is powerful and the charge is large, resulting in obvious muzzle jumps and high recoil during continuous shooting. In other words, close-range firepower is greatly weakened.
For this purpose, the 100-type submachine gun is equipped with a tripod and a watch scale that can be aimed at 1,500 meters away. In fact, the effective distance between the submachine gun is 200 or even 100 meters. In addition to the 100-meter criterion, in the Black Hawk Army's close-range combat principle, bayonets must be used to conduct hand-to-hand combat to save ammunition. The 100-type submachine gun is installed with a bayonet seat, just like other Black Hawk Imperial infantry machine guns of the same period.
For these inexplicable designs, the Black Hawk Empire was not unusual at that time. When the Black Hawk Empire revised the "Infantry Practice", it clearly stated that "the way to determine the final victory or defeat of the battle is bayonet assault."
Ridiculous positioning and inexplicable design, but the Black Hawk Army still has an absolute advantage in front of the most elite troops in the kingdom.
First of all, in terms of equipment, the 30-type bayonet blade of the Black Hawk Army's main equipment is 50 cm long, and the total length of the rifle is 1.65 meters. This length even exceeds the average height of the Black Hawk Army of 1.56, and is also the longest bayonet combination in the entire war period.
The soldiers of the White Eagle Kingdom holding a submachine gun ridiculed this as a spear that could fire bullets, but it was this spear that could fire bullets that showed its might on the battlefield of the kingdom.
The reason is very simple. The 30-type bayonet is not only long, but also well-made bayonets. High-quality steel is selected, and the parts are finely processed and durable. Although it is limited by the lack of resources in the Black Hawk Empire, all use low-carbon steel is prone to rust, but as long as it is maintained regularly, it can be used for a long time.
On the other hand, what about the kingdom? That's much worse. Let's talk about the bayonets equipped with rifles. First, the short bayonet that everyone hates, with a total blade of only 30 cm. Later, because of the threat from the Blackhawk Empire, the long bayonet was developed. The length was basically the same as that of the Blackhawk Empire. It was only a few centimeters shorter, and it could barely be considered as a counter-attack. However, the steel quality was much worse, and it was easy to break, damage and deform.
Compared with the Black Hawk Empire Army's 30-type bayonet, the consequences are naturally worrying.
Besides, the rifles equipped by the main force before the Battle of the Kingdom Army were not long rifles like Type 38.
The barrel of the rifle is at least 15 cm shorter than a long rifle like Type 38.
