Of course, these things are just things for now. I had no idea that the looting of the Soviet army warehouse in Outer Mongolia would have so many consequences. I was currently sitting in a jeep commanding that the border had been breached, and Chaha was being set up according to the planned plan. Wang Guangyu, who left the Japanese and puppet troops in Seoul unattended and forcibly inserted outflanking troops into the territory of Xing'anxi Province in Manchuria, could not have expected it now.
At this moment, Wang Guangyu, who was playing with a strange-looking semi-automatic rifle that Ren Guang bought from the Soviet army warehouse in Hongdal, which was completely different from the Mosin Nagan rifle equipped by the Soviet army, was not even outside at this moment. This robbery in Mongolia will bring so much trouble to the headquarters and No. 1.
If he had foreseen that it would cause such trouble later, Wang Guangyu, who has always been stable, would never have agreed to Ren Guang's move. Don't say that Wang Guangyu is Ren Guang himself. No matter how much he wants to make a fortune, even if there is He was coveting the stuff, but he wouldn't do it. However, Wang Guangyu, who was currently very interested in the strange-looking rifle in his hand, didn't know that the headquarters would be in so much trouble later.
When Ren Guang robbed the warehouse that he thought was the Outer Mongolian army, he did not take away the Mosin Nagan rifles, Deggarev light machine guns and Maxi rifles that were both cumbersome and useless to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although there were more than 700 strange-looking new Soviet-made rifles inside, he took them out together with the hundreds of Tokarev pistols because they aroused his interest.
After a simple test firing by the troops, the soldiers of the Mongolian Internal Affairs Army who were responsible for guarding the warehouse did not know what model this rifle was. It was equipped with a ten-round magazine and a new rifle with a fast rate of fire, although its structure was larger than that of the Mosin-Nagan rifle. It seems complicated, but it has a long range and a fast rate of fire. Although the accuracy of the continuous shot is not as good as the Mosin-Nagang rifle, the accuracy of the single shot is not inferior.
When Wang Guangyu, who was very good at marksmanship, was on the march, he once shot down a group of people 300 meters away with five shots in a jeep that was not driving very fast. They were frightened and fled when they encountered the troops. For the three sheep among the yellow sheep, tests have shown that even if the accuracy of continuous firing is not as good as that of the Mosin-Nagant rifle, the decrease in accuracy is not obvious when shooting semi-automatically.
In Wang Guangyu's view, although the burst accuracy of this kind of firearm is not as good as the automatic rifles equipped by the Anti-Japanese Federation, the accuracy is at least above average, but its rate of fire, especially the reaction speed, is far from that of the manual Mosin. The Nagan rifle is comparable, and its mechanical performance adheres to the characteristics of Soviet-made weapons. It can be said to be quite reliable. Its range is also almost the same as that of the Mosin-Nagan rifle, and its weight is also higher than that of the Soviet-made Type 30 Mosin-Nagan rifle. Much lighter.
After firing three magazines at a time without stopping, the basic performance of the firearm did not change in any way, and the detachable bayonet used was much more flexible than the fixed bayonet of the Mosin Nagan rifle, and even Wang Guangyu also saw a base for mounting a scope on this rifle.
From Wang Guangyu's perspective as a veteran, this type of rifle has two disadvantages compared with the fully automatic rifles currently used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. First, it uses a fully loaded 7.62mm bullet, which has relatively large recoil, especially When shooting semi-automatically, the recoil is a bit too big for the Chinese size. Secondly, the first hit rate is relatively low, but the subsequent accuracy is still quite high.
Third, the magazine holds only ten rounds, which is less than half of the automatic rifles equipped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. According to the relatively fast rate of fire of this rifle, frequent magazine changes will inevitably affect the overall firepower of the army. Fourth, too. The biggest disadvantage is that the structure is relatively complex and it is difficult to wipe it after use.
Of course, there are advantages. The biggest advantage is that its effective range is the same as the Mosin-Nagan rifle, which is at least 800 meters away. With this effective range, this kind of gun can be fired within 600 meters in the hands of a well-trained veteran. It is quite powerful within a distance of one meter.
Coupled with the relatively high accuracy, semi-automatic rate of fire, and a range of 600 meters, it can be said to be an extremely powerful infantry weapon. This is a fully automatic rifle equipped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance itself, with an effective range of only 400 meters. It is incomparable, and its longer gun body is more suitable for bayonet use.
According to Wang Guangyu's estimation, if this kind of rifle is used by experienced veterans, three rifles within a long range, using an alternating firing method, can completely suppress the Japanese Taisho 11-type light machine gun, unlike the anti-Japanese war rifles. Like the automatic rifles equipped by the Allied Forces, it must advance within the effective range of 400 meters. If a squad of experienced veterans uses it, it is not impossible to even suppress the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun within the effective range.
After Li Mingfeng's repeated requests, and the fact that the rifles used the same type of bullets as those used in the anti-Union machine guns, and there was no need to increase the logistical burden, Wang Guangyu agreed to keep these rifles after consideration. , give the troops of a division a few rounds for each burst and give them to the veterans.
As a long-distance precision shooting weapon, it cooperates with the Mosin-Nagan sniper rifles, Type 38 sniper rifles and general-purpose machine guns equipped by the sniper platoons of each regiment to enhance long-range shooting accuracy by taking advantage of its long range, high power and high accuracy. , carried out sniper attacks on enemy troops from a long distance, and used continuous machine guns to suppress the Japanese machine gun firepower.
Although the current Anti-Japanese Alliance has largely replaced automatic rifles with intermediate bullets, for sniper rifles, the effective range of the automatic rifles currently equipped by the army with intermediate bullets of 400 meters is still too short, and the military area The semi-automatic sniper rifle directly under the reconnaissance brigade has never been equipped by the entire army because the price is too high and the production process is too complicated.
Under limited conditions, the sniper rifles used by the sniper platoons of each regiment are still mainly Japanese-style 38 rifles equipped with scopes and the originally imported Soviet-made Mosin Nagan rifles. As for the choice of guns, , there are no mandatory regulations for the entire army. It is up to each platoon to decide what kind of rifle the sniper platoon under each regiment chooses.
It's just that although these two rifles have long range and high accuracy, they are all manual rifles after all, and the rate of fire is difficult to increase. Fortunately, as sniper rifles, the main pursuit now is accuracy. If they can kill with one shot, the rate of fire will be The requirements are not too high. Whether it is a Type 38 rifle or a Mosin Nagan rifle, in addition to the rate of fire, whether it is range or accuracy, when equipped with a scope, it can meet the current needs of the troops.
Of course, this is enough for ordinary soldiers, but for a senior commander like Li Mingfeng who is very greedy and always covets the sight-equipped semi-automatic sniper rifles equipped by the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade, it is still very uncomfortable. Satisfied, this time with such a long range, firepower and accuracy, it is a rifle that is quite high. No wonder Li Mingfeng was jealous and repeatedly requested that all the hundreds of Soviet-made semi-automatic rifles he had obtained be used. Give it to the First Division.
It's just a pity that because they are fighting far away from the base area, there is no way to install sniper scopes on these rifles. Unless the scopes on the existing sniper rifles of the army are removed, these rifles can only be used as ordinary rifles for the time being. At best, they can only be used as ordinary rifles. Give it to veterans with good marksmanship for long-range fire support.
Li Mingfeng also considered disassembling the sights from the army's existing Type 38 rifles and installing them on this new Soviet rifle. This rifle itself has a sighting base, and it is not difficult to modify it on site. The troops themselves The gunner can do it.
However, considering the experience of snipers, the more proficient they are in using their weapons, the better. It is not appropriate to change the equipment hastily, and time does not allow for careful selection of these rifles to select the one with the best accuracy for use as a sniper rifle. , Li Mingfeng finally gave up on his idea.
Otherwise, Li Mingfeng would immediately use this semi-automatic rifle to completely change the equipment of the three sniper platoons of his first division. After all, a semi-automatic rifle with the same range as an ordinary rifle has a better rate of fire than a manual rifle. This will give snipers more advantages in battle, and in a latent position, they can kill more targets.
However, although Li Mingfeng's request was a bit greedy, it was not too excessive. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Guangyu finally nodded. In addition to leaving two hundred for the cavalry brigade, the remaining more than five hundred All the rifles were handed over to the First Division. As for how to use them, it is up to Li Mingfeng to figure out how to use them. This guy has a lot of clever ideas and should not waste these rifles.
It's just that although Wang Guangyu is playing with this new Soviet-made rifle in his hands, what he is thinking about is not how Li Mingfeng will use these rifles. What he is thinking about now is that the operation to break through the national border has gone smoothly. After unfolding, how should the next battle be adjusted?
The development of the situation when they broke through the national border was within Wang Guangyu's expectation. Stationed at the junction of East Ujimqin Banner and Outer Mongolia, most people did not know what a tank was. The one that rushes over can walk on its own and shoot.
The most important thing is that the 38-type rifle in his hand is completely powerless. Even the light and heavy machine guns hit it, and it has no impact at all on the steel monster that continues to rush towards him. After that, it is frightened and collapses on the spot. What the hell is that? Tuba Road, the Russians must have come here.
The rapid collapse of the puppet Mongolian army forced the remaining Japanese army to retreat southward. After all, the Japanese army captain was not stupid enough to think that he was alone. An independent squad capable of fighting a large armored and mechanized force.
Although the Japanese army has always been used to showing off, they still wisely chose to retreat when faced with the overwhelming tanks, armored troops and cavalry that rushed towards them. For them, the most important thing at the moment was to cut off the phone line After that, report the situation here to their superiors as soon as possible.
As for using the few troops at hand to fight head-on duels, without orders from superiors, these Japanese are not so stubborn. What's more, they are just an outpost. It's a pity that this infantry squad, Their ability to escape was much worse than those of the pseudo-Mongolian troops. Before they could run very far, they were overtaken by a cavalry brigade that had been prepared and killed them all with sabers.
