In addition to these essentials, the grenade, one of the individual weapons that Liu Lang values ​​the most, has already begun to show signs under the research of the research team led by Grunov. I believe that it will not take long to take long-term melon grenades with stronger blasting capabilities and more carry-on volumes, will completely replace the long-handled grenades currently equipped by the Independent Regiment and become the most powerful individual equipment for soldiers in close combat.

In fact, Liu Lang didn't want to equip the grenade launcher that each class had at first. It was a small caliber mortar with a range of only a few hundred meters. Except for the Black Hawk Empire who had poor support for light artillery, the whole world did not have to use it at all. It would be better to learn from the White Eagle Kingdom and the Zhouhui people to engage in the grenades that were popular in Xizhou.

However, considering that war is imminent and the doctor who has been squeezed out and is almost out of fuel, Liu Lang temporarily stopped this and could only suppress the grenade and develop it. In order to fight against the grenade launcher where the Black Hawk Army can close the fire point, Liu Lang could only throw the best imitation weapon of the grenade launcher to Dr. Ge, who was squeezed by capitalists with a high salary.

Grunov, who has gradually developed from a metal craft expert to a weapon manufacturing expert, has no regard for the simple and amazing grenade launcher. In just two or three days, he threw this prototype 32 grenade launcher weapon that he called a useless weapon to Liu Lang.

In two months, the 32-type grenade can fire special grenades with a distance of 450 feet was crazily made more than 200 poles. According to Grunov, the process is really too simple. Since the mold has been designed, don't waste it.

Liu Lang left more than fifty poles, and the rest was sold to his uncle Liu Runsheng. Although the 150-barrel grenade can increase some front-line firepower, Liu Lang knew that the way to win or lose was decided a long time ago, and it was definitely not something that these 150-barrel grenade can be determined. This batch of grenade can only be used by Liu Wei after unifying Qiu Tongzhou. It can be regarded as the equipment for the Qiu Tong army to attack the Black Hawk Empire Army five years later!

There is no MG42 in the warehouse.

The MG42 prototype machine gun was manufactured by Grunov a month ago. In the past month, the machine gun experimental team set up by Liu Lang secretly has fired more than 80,000 bullets with the prototype gun. Although Grunov has smelted and improved the steel material countless times, the machine gun steel pipe still cannot reach the ideal state of shooting 400 rounds before replacing it.

In fact, Liu Lang knew very well that with such a high firing rate of MG42, even the Zhouhui people could only shoot 300 rounds at normal temperature and then replace the barrel. That is, on the vast land of the cold polar bear that can freeze people's noses, MG42 could continue to shoot 600 rounds.

Liu Lang just wanted to use this to force Grunov to realize his genius design in replacing the barrel. Although Liu Lang knew that he had done well in the play, a simple wrench could remove the hot barrel, and a skilled machine gunner could replace a barrel in 4 seconds.

But Liu Lang believes that human creativity is infinite, and under pressure, perhaps Grunov can make more genius designs.

Liu Lang's gambling was right. Perhaps Grunov didn't have much confidence in the quality of steel in the independent steel mill at the beginning, and had already racked his brains to consider how to replace the barrel more quickly. The former genius design was released again, but Grunov added a small spring to help the barrel design to eject the barrel design, reducing the barrel replacement time by one second.

In just three seconds, the torrent of bullets that the MG42 constantly vomits can continue. Moreover, in March next year, the battlefield in the north of the Kingdom, the local ultra-low temperature can continue to shoot more than 500 rounds with three spare barrels of the MG42 can shoot out the Black Hawk Army's Type 90 heavy machine gun.

It only takes another month for the MG42 to be mass-produced, and the machine gun shooters of the independent group still have at least three months of adaptation time, which is enough.

Liu Lang finally chose the light machine gun of the first-class squad. Not only is the independent regiment now more than 30 stocks in stock, but if all use MG42, the exaggerated number of light and heavy machine guns required by the plan is not only a matter of the number of machine guns. Liu Lang is afraid that the fragile logistics system will be collapsed by a huge amount of bullets as soon as the battle begins.

The base number of bullets for each MG42 is almost 5,000 rounds, but that is not the final amount of a battle. You should know that the former Normandy butcher fired 10,000 rounds in one day. That terrifying number is just a devastating thing.

Thirty MG42s with 200,000 rounds of ammunition are almost the limit that Liu Lang can bear. A magazine with excellent performance with a capacity of 20 rounds can only be the first choice for squad machine guns.

Even so, the two infantry battalions with a number of up to 54 bullets in the planned number is as high as 50,000 rounds. On average, each infantry needs to carry 80 more bullets. With the 200 rounds specified by Liu Lang, each infantry must carry up to 280 rounds of bullets.

Of course, this small burden was directly ignored by the soldiers in the happiness of having a platoon of other kingdoms. A bullet weighs only 10 grams, and 80 rounds are only more than one pound. This weight is nothing for the happiness of having a light machine gun for about ten people!

Nearly 30 light machine guns in the shortage will be transported to the mortar purchased by Lu Cong in the military factory in Lizhou, Zhongji, in half a month. They will first be transported by Huaqing Road to Yili Town by railway, and then by Gou's family in Yili Town to the Independent Corps Base. Although the waterway can be faster, Liu Lang has reason to believe that even if it is a pass issued by the military boss, one-third of the batch of arms will be burning high incense when he reaches his hands. It is safer and more appropriate to go to Fuhongzhou and enter Tongzhou in Qiu. Liu Lang has also said hello specifically. Recently, he has taken Liu Lang many of the filial commanders Zhang, who have taken Liu Lang, will never do anything to fish in the dry pond.

At the same time, the sheepskin individual water bag that Gou family made at Liu Lang's request would also be transported with the guards, but the cost exceeded the estimated silver coin, reaching 1.5 yuan.

Liu Lang could feel the deep resentment of a long-legged girl from the letter written by the beautiful head of the Gou family. The soft sheepskin can be compared with the tenacity of the polymeric materials composed of countless high-tech technologies in later generations. It is absolutely necessary to have extraordinary wisdom to fill the sheepskin bag with water and can withstand the weight of an adult without breaking it.

I guess the beautiful female head was also trying to earn these thousands of silver coins during this period! So in the face of the female head's careful "blacklist", Liu Lang agreed generously, but only cut the freight by 20%, which was exactly 1,500 silver coins.

"Bastard." Gou Saiyu, in the Gou family compound in Yili Town, looked at Liu Lang's reply, and his nose was almost pissed.

In order to study the individual water bag that Liu Lang mentioned, she spent a lot of money to develop old sheepskin making craftsmen every day to study how to improve the pressure resistance of sheepskin bags. It took more than two months to find a way to make an adult man stand on a sheepskin bag full of water without overflowing. In order to reduce transportation costs, dozens of people were hired to rush to work day and night before the independent group transported from the capital needed goods. For this reason, countless manpower and financial resources were lost.

In order not to lose too hard, he took the courage to increase the price of 50%. Unexpectedly, Liu Lang slashed the transportation fee and got the money back.

Although the transportation fee of 7,500 silver coins seems not low, it is arms, which can make people lose their heads. The escort of 400 people is fully armed for nearly a month. Is there a lot of 7,500 silver coins?

"Not much, but you can't spoil it, so as not to make her feel that our Independent Group is rich, we are poor, very poor." Liu Lang said this to Liang Wenzhong, who is in charge of logistics.

"Shouldn't the seized silver winter melon be asked the Gou family to help exchange silver coins?"

"That is seized, taken from the people, and used for the people."

Liang Wenzhong nodded deeply and agreed. There is nothing wrong with Captain Lang’s reason.
