Chapter 780 The competition caused by the gun test
Of course, Tang Dao was extremely familiar with semi-automatic rifles, even though they were considered antiques for him who came from the future.
The so-called semi-automatic rifle refers to a rifle that can automatically complete loading, ejection, and reloading, but can only fire one round when the trigger is pulled.
The rate of fire of this kind of rifle is naturally much higher than that of a bolt-action rifle because it saves the time of pulling the bolt to load the bullet.
Compared with the bolt-action rifles, which are currently the main rifles of the world's militaries, the semi-automatic rifles that have appeared and begun to be gradually equipped with troops have not yet formed an overwhelming replacement. That is because both rifles have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The bolt-action rifle's rate of fire is slow, but because its barrel length is longer, it can give the bullet a faster muzzle velocity and a greater range. The rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle is fast enough, but its faster rate of fire can lead to its
The gas system needs to be stronger. Due to current technology, the gas system can easily interfere with the stability of the barrel and gun, thereby affecting shooting accuracy.
Without being tested in the war, most countries, such as Asian countries, still adopted bolt-action rifles with more stable performance as the standard rifle of the army.
But the little butterfly from the future is very clear that the world war that is about to break out has proven that superior firepower is one of the key factors for soldiers to survive on the battlefield.
The confrontation between American cowboys and the Japanese on a small island in the Pacific fully proved that the bolt-action rifle will surely go into history.
The precise shooting skills that the Japanese are proud of turned into a joke when the American cowboys kept pulling the triggers. During the hedging process between the two sides, the Japanese army shot one bullet to kill each of their opponents, but the American cowboys continued to
After pulling the trigger four or five times, the dense stream of bullets knocked the Japanese soldier who only had time to fire one shot into the jungle two hundred meters away.
In the era of thermal weapons, fire coverage is king!
Bolt-action rifles are destined to be used only by a small number of snipers who require range and accuracy.
In China, the famous Wuliuban was even used in the military for decades. It was not until China's economy began to develop greatly that the entire military changed its uniforms that it completely withdrew from the stage of history.
In Tang Dao's mind, the semi-automatic rifle is the most suitable standard rifle for his Four Lines Regiment in this era.
Of course, semi-automatic rifles consume much more ammunition than bolt-action rifles. This may be the main reason why senior officials in China and Japan did not choose them as the main rifles of the army.
Fire coverage is great, but it must be backed up by strong enough logistical supplies.
At this time, the level of logistics supply between China and Japan was that the Chinese side was lying flat, while the Japanese seemed to be much stronger than the Chinese, but compared to Western countries that had entered the mechanization era, they could only
It’s hard to say in one word!
To put it bluntly, China is scum and Japan is scum!
Tang Dao also has to face this problem. If he wants to equip the entire regiment with semi-automatic rifles, guns second, he must first solve the problem of bullet production.
However, it cannot solve the problem of the whole country, so it must not be that difficult to solve the consumption of an infantry regiment.
The most important thing is to dare to think. If you don’t even dare to think, human civilization will still be drinking blood! Dare to daydream may be the most important difference between humans and other creatures.
The list of weapons is very long, and there are even more equipment shipped out of the warehouse, which cannot be accepted in a short while. Moreover, Zhuang Shisan is responsible for this, Gong Shaoxun is responsible for coordination, and Tang Dao, the highest military officer, is responsible for the coordination.
At best, there is a mascot next to it.
Tang Dao, who had smoked several cigarettes but had nothing to do, simply asked the lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the 662nd Regiment of the 49th Army who was accompanying him to try this semi-automatic rifle from the Czech Republic that was equipped in a small amount in the Northeastern Army.
Tang Dao really wanted to see how far this semi-automatic rifle was from his requirements. The 56-and-a-half he was familiar with was a good guy with an effective range of 400 meters, which was enough to compete with the 38-meter rifle.
Hearing that Tang Dao wanted to test the gun, the lieutenant colonel's regimental deputy did not dare to make the decision, so he quickly asked Tang Dao to wait while he asked the signal corpsmen to ask for instructions from the regimental commander who had returned to the regiment headquarters.
After all, this is not an ordinary infantry regiment. The 2,000 people are guarding an arsenal that can be called a huge wealth. There are three infantry battalions, one guarding the interior of Dalinzhuang, and two on the flanks of Dalinzhuang. If there is any trouble, early
The 662nd Regiment, which has been authorized by the military department, can take the initiative to launch attacks.
This gun test was a trivial matter, but it had to be reported to the three infantry battalions who were on alert to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. This was not something he, the regimental deputy, could make the decision about.
Of course Tang Dao would not be offended. Each army has its own actual situation and its own rules. Just follow the host.
Perhaps the Four Elements regiment had won a lot of favor by treating people with courtesy before. Tang Dao's request, which was not excessive but slightly troublesome, was quickly approved. The regiment leader named Colonel Gu even brought a security squad with him for this purpose.
Waiting for Tang Dao in his designated area.
"Sorry! Commander Gu, Tang Dao has caused trouble for you again." Tang Dao actually had a good impression of this slightly arrogant but straightforward army colonel, and his words were naturally polite.
"Captain Tang, you're so polite. Although you and I belong to two armies, your regiment's reputation on the anti-Japanese battlefield is so great that Gu Mou has always admired it!" The colonel commander had a cold expression on his face, but he was equally polite to Tang Dao.
No disrespect to etiquette.
After saying that, he turned his eyes to the security squad behind Tang Dao and looked at the Qingyishui semi-automatic rifles carried on their backs. His eyes showed thoughts, "What do you think, Commander Tang?'
"Oh! I saw 150 semi-automatic rifles listed in the list. This gun is rare. I was thinking about how to allocate this gun among the units within our regiment to form the strongest combat effectiveness without wasting the performance of this gun, so I brought a guard with me.
Come try the guns and see how they are actually used!" Tang Dao replied with a smile.
"Well! Commander Tang's idea is very pragmatic. No matter how good the weapon is, it depends on the actual use of the weapon!" Colonel Gu nodded in approval, and suddenly the conversation changed. "Captain Tang, I have heard about your regiment's Si Xing Regiment for a long time.
Dai Ming, Si Xing, Songjiang, Guangde, have wiped out countless enemies. Needless to say, your regiment must have countless elites under its command. The officers and soldiers of our regiment always feel proud when they talk about it! I suddenly had an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not.'
"Commander Gu, please speak!" Tang Dao's eyes moved slightly, as if he already knew the little thoughts of the man in front of him.
As the saying goes, "Civility is not the first, military is not the second." This is especially true in the military. Once you become famous, challenges will follow.
The colonel commander in front of him obviously had this in mind. His 662nd Regiment was also the main infantry regiment of the 105th Division of the 49th Army. It had outstanding achievements in the battle to defend the Beijing-Hangzhou Highway, and even the chief officer of the first regiment was killed in the battle. It can be seen that
Their fighting power is so strong that it is considered a very normal psychology to want to compete with the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment whose military exploits and reputation are far greater than theirs.
"Captain Tang, the officers and soldiers under your command want to test the rifle. This standard rifle is not familiar to the brothers of the New Rifle Group. The security squad under my command has always been equipped with flower traps and has not used this rifle much. Both sides
Half a catty versus eight ounces, why not let them compete, what do you think? Only by adding a little more psychological pressure can you show your true skills!" A smile appeared on the colonel leader's face for the first time.
"In order to let the brothers show their true skills, I will personally take out 100 oceans to reward you and our two armies for participating in this shooting competition. The first brother will have 50 oceans, the second place will have 30 oceans, and the third place will have 20 oceans. Commander Tang
what do you think?'
"This...Tang Dao did not agree immediately, but frowned slightly and hesitated.
"Captain Tang, if you can capture one of the top three, I have a surprise for you!" Seeing Tang Dao's hesitation, Commander Gu smiled even brighter and promised. "However, Commander Tang, please forgive me.
, it’s not that Gu is mysterious. Since it’s a surprise, it’s even more satisfying to see his true face for the last time, isn’t it?'
Obviously, he had misunderstood, thinking that Tang Dao was unwilling to participate in this kind of competition where winning would be of no benefit and losing would be embarrassing. He even threw out surprise bait.
In fact, Tang Dao hesitated, but the man in front of him had a lot of money and took out 100 yuan as a bonus, but as the leader of the regiment, he hadn't even received his military pay! But if he didn't bring something out, let alone his face.
If he can't get through, what do the soldiers of the 49th Army think of him? Tang Dao may not care about the name of the regiment leader, but it will affect the reputation of the Four Elements Regiment, right?
Turning his eyes slightly, Tang Dao thought of something on his body, and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay! Since Captain Gu has this intention, it's settled. However, Captain Gu will pay for the bonus, and Tang Dao is a poor man.
Not a penny.
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Commander Tang, when you first established the Four Lines Regiment, it's time to use money!" Colonel Gu shook his head to express his understanding.
But the soldiers standing straight behind him, holding the handles of submachine guns in front of their chests, showed a little disdain on their faces.
In fact, if a dignified army colonel and the chief officer of a regiment say that he has no money, who will believe it? There is a saying in China: the poor temple is rich and the abbot is rich! No matter how poor the Si Xing regiment is, the poor are ordinary officers and soldiers, and they can still be treated as soldiers.
Why did the official starve to death? Who are you trying to fool?
"However, I can use this as a reward for the brother with the best shooting score!" Tang Dao took out an iron bar from the cowhide knife pouch tied to his calf and placed it in front of the colonel.
What is this? Colonel Gu and the soldiers in the guard squad behind him were all stunned.
"hiss!"
Then, there was a sound of gasping for air!
At first glance, this is just an iron bar, or a pointed steel thorn. However, these people are all soldiers who have fought many battles. Soon, they discovered something different from this steel thorn.
thing.
The not-so-sharp thorn tip is not the point. For soldiers who have killed many Japanese soldiers, it doesn't matter if the thorn tip is not sharp, just use more strength. What catches their attention are the several thick thorns that run through the entire steel thorn.
Bleeding tank.
They can all imagine how big a wound this black steel thorn will cause once it penetrates the human body. What's more terrible is that the blood will flow unstoppably along these bleeding grooves.
Perhaps, in less than a minute, no matter how dark-skinned a person is, he will become a white-faced boy, just like applying powder.
That's how pale you look after losing too much blood!
"What is this?" Colonel Gu held this human weapon with horror in his eyes.
"This is a military spur designed by Tang Dao himself. It is also called a three-edged military spur. Because there is no machine tool, it is made manually. It is still a finished product, which made the brothers of the 49th Army laugh." Tang Dao explained.
Yes, this is the world's first three-edged military thorn, made by Mr. He.
All I can say is that there are reasons why some people are successful.
Tang Dao just gave a rough design drawing. Just three days after leaving the station and going to Xuzhou, Teacher Xiao He, who had the design drawing in hand, led a group of top students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Physics without any machine tools.
Based on a completely scrapped heavy machine gun barrel, using the earthen furnace of the only blacksmith shop in the town, it took two days and one night to make this gun that is almost 90% similar to the future.
The three-sided military thorns were made.
This kind of vigorous and resolute self-discipline and unwillingness to waste any time may be one of the important reasons why this woman will become one of the very few female scientists in the future.
This was a sample, but Tang Dao liked it very much and confiscated it on the spot.
Teacher Xiao He saw that his work was liked by Tang Dao, but he was not angry. He even gave it to Tang Dao without knowing it, along with a cowhide knife pouch that he had sewn by himself.
For an engineer, what could be more satisfying than being liked by others for his work?
What's more, for this scientific master, as long as one succeeds, there will be more, and the quality will be better.
In her words: The steel of this triangular military thorn is not very good, and it has not undergone real assassination tests. I don’t know how effective it is in breaking the body and bleeding. It can be regarded as a semi-finished product at best!
Teacher Xiao He's meaning is very obvious. She needs to test. The subjects of the test are of course the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and Tang Dao is the one who does the test for her.
To put it bluntly, don’t think Tang Dao is trying to steal sex, in fact, from Teacher Xiao He’s point of view, he is just a tool man.
In other words, the four-line regiment has to march over two thousand miles and will not be able to see those test subjects for at least a month or two. Carrying this weapon with a somewhat weird shape but definitely revealing fierce flames, Colonel Gu
He looked at a wooden stake two meters away and threw it with all his strength.
With a "snatch" sound, the seemingly unsharp triangular steel thorn was inserted deeply into the wooden stake. He strode forward and reached out to pull it out, but it was not as laborious as imagined.
Colonel Gu's face showed horror!
Of course he knew, having been in the military for a long time, that this was not because the military thorn did not penetrate deeply enough, but because the military thorn in his hand caused too much damage to the wood, resulting in the wood not being able to stab the general to death.
This is the same as piercing the human body. When it is pulled out, the muscles and bones of the human body cannot cause much obstruction. Don't underestimate this obstacle. On the battlefield, a delay of less than one second will
It might save your life.
He could fully imagine what kind of terrifying lethality this military spur would cause if it were placed on the head of a rifle. It was definitely not comparable to the Japanese Type 38 bayonet.
The only shortcoming is that the function of this steel thorn is too single.
"Good stuff!" Colonel Gu, holding a three-edged military thorn in his hand, praised him endlessly. "Captain Tang's unique weapon is worth no less than 100 silver coins!"
After saying that, he looked at his soldiers: "I want this military thorn. You have to win it back for me. If you win it back, each of you will be rewarded with a bowl of fat meat. If you can't win it back, then you don't need to eat it for dinner today. You will give it to me."
I’m going to hold the whistle at the entrance of the village!”
"Yes!" More than a dozen guardsmen roared in unison in response to their commander.
Without looking at their firm eyes and puffed-up chests, just by listening to their voices, Tang Dao, who had been in the military camp for more than ten years, knew that they were confident enough.
That is the confidence brought by having experienced the battlefield.
Tang Dao has every reason to believe that the brutal battles these elite troops have experienced will never be inferior to those of his soldiers.
However, they are elites, so why are the soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment not elites?
Seeing that the commander of the 49th Army had given orders to his subordinates to win, Tang Dao smiled and turned his attention to the guard squad one following him, which was the former squad one of Leng Feng's company.
Guard Class 1 is Leng Feng's sharp knife class. The squad leader and squad deputy are all veterans who have experienced the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. Its precision shooters, machine gunners and grenade launchers are also drawn from veterans of the 67th Army.
After arriving, all the military ranks were non-commissioned officers, and the remaining spearmen were also selected from the Songjiang Security Regiment.
The Songjiang Security Group was not popular before the Songjiang War, but even if it is a pig, if it wants to survive after experiencing the continuous war, it must become a pig that can run fast and hide well, let alone these 3,000 people.
The number of security personnel has been reduced to 500.
No matter how bad the marksmanship is, on the battlefield where they are constantly wandering on the edge of life and death, they have to become accurate. If they don't, they will all die. The marksmanship honed by the shadow of death on the battlefield, in Tang Dao's view, far exceeds that of the training ground.
!
The stray bullets flying around, the shrapnel with no trace, the splashing soil, the miserable screams of his comrades before they died, and even the broken limbs falling in front of me, I was in hell and was extremely depressed.
A true warrior is one who can still shoot accurate bullets at the enemy under his own psychological mode.
His soldiers are this kind of soldiers!
In the Battle of Qinglong Ridge, Leng Feng's company had already proven this. As a sharp knife squad, the bodies of at least 50 Japanese infantry were left in front of the platoon and squad positions.
That alone may not mean much. After all, a country with superior terrain, solid trenches, and continuous firepower such as submachine guns and shell guns,
The Japanese infantry usually relies on the tactics of "after the artillery bombards the infantry, and the infantry charges after the artillery bombardment". As long as there are no heavy artillery bombardments to collapse the Chinese trenches, the faster and more determined they charge. In front of the Leng Feng Company, who has a tough enough mentality, it will be more difficult.
Head-Giving Contest!
However, according to the records of the quartermaster stationed in the first company, in one platoon and one squad, the two sides killed as many as 7 Japanese soldiers in long-range fire from 200 meters away, while only 2 of them were injured.
This achievement is incredible,
That almost means that in terms of shooting alone, the level of the squadron can rival the Japanese infantry who are good at shooting, although they still take advantage of the geographical advantage.
Therefore, although they are now the same as the soldiers of the 49th Army's guard squad, at least half of them have flower traps on their chests, in fact, they were the purest infantry a few days ago.
Rifles are their main business!
This infantry regiment commander who was once a guard battalion commander may have used his own shortcomings against the strengths of others.
Tang Dao thought for a while, but finally did not want to take advantage of this person, so he smiled and said: "To be honest with the commander, my guard company was reorganized from the first company under my command during the expansion a few days ago.
From the Jiaxing front line to the Guangde battlefield, they are all infantry fighting on the front line!"
"Oh?" Colonel Gu raised his brows when Tang Dao said this, without any fear on his face. "It turned out to be the most elite infantryman under Commander Tang. Gu must know more about it. Please invite Commander Tang."
Don't worry, these soldiers under my command are all from the most heroic troops on the battlefield, and they will never be a joke to the brothers of the Fourth Army Regiment!"
Although this man also showed goodwill to Tang Dao's uprightness, as a former division-level guard battalion commander, he was also arrogant. No matter what, he was not allowed to back down in the slightest.
What's more, as the commander of the infantry regiment who took office only two months ago, when he rebuilt the guard company where most of the guards were killed because of the charge with the previous regiment commander, he also drew elite infantry from each company, which is also an army that has fought a hundred battles.
He has as much confidence in his soldiers as Tang Dao.
"Then it's done, it's settled." Tang Dao nodded.
This guy has said so. No matter what he says, he has to stick with him to the end.
Turning his head to look at the row of guards standing upright behind him, Tang Dao also lectured: "Brothers, if you can't be first or second, remember to get third for me. 20 yuan is a lot of pigs. If you win,
In exchange for Captain Gu’s money, all of us here will have extra meals tonight! That’s it!
"Yes!" The whole class of guards also stood at attention and said yes!
All members of the 49th Army were stunned!
Good guy, who in the military camp doesn’t strive for first place? But this guy actually inspired his subordinates to take third place bravely.
Perhaps, only Colonel Gu, whose eyes narrowed slightly, could hear Tang Daoyong's hidden confidence after taking third place. No one would dare to say that he would definitely take third place, which is simply more important than competing for first place.
