After Julian Mauser's visit that day, he compiled the conversation with Wang Jiuling, and then gave a copy to each member of the family in Mauser, and then analyzed them one by one to convince the family members and gain their support.
, and then convince other employees, Julian Mauser also plans to find opportunities to feedback these issues to the Berlin government, so that Germany cannot repeat the mistakes of World War I.
On November 3, Wang Jiuling is going to visit Mauser's machine gun production line, which is of course the mg34 general machine gun.
The mg347.92mm general-purpose machine gun is the earliest general-purpose machine gun. It was designed by the German Mauser Company. It combines the characteristics of many previous machine guns and also has many characteristics. It is the first mass-produced modern general-purpose machine gun for light duty.
When the machine gun is used, the bipod is fixed on the front hoop of the machine gun barrel sleeve; when used as a heavy machine gun, the machine gun is installed on a light (aluminum) anti-aircraft tripod or anti-aircraft double bracket gun mount and a folding anti-aircraft support.
Can be fixed on 1 special anti-aircraft support
During World War II, many improved machine guns such as mg34s and mg3441 were also produced. The improved machine guns are shorter in size and barrel than the prototype machine guns; the firing mechanism can only fire continuously; they have better buffering effect and barrel recoil effect.
As for the level of equipment of mg34 machine guns, they have basically been equipped with the German army since Germany announced the abolition of the Treaty of Versailles in 1935. During the Anti-Japanese War, Hitler also provided some mg34 and a large number of mg13 machine guns to the national army. But in fact, in World War II, mg34 machine guns
It has never been able to replace the old mg08 machine gun and mg15 machine gun (these old weapons were heavily equipped to the left-behind troops and the SS), and the later mg42 machine gun also failed to replace the mg34 machine gun. Therefore, the German machine gun equipment during World War II was very messy, but the mg34 machine gun
It is indeed the originator of the general-purpose machine gun.
The mg34 machine gun was once widely used as the standard machine gun used by the German army on the ground and has now been withdrawn.
The mg34 was the main machine gun for the German infantry in the 1930s, and was also the main anti-aircraft weapon for tanks and vehicles. The original intention of the mg34 was to replace old machine guns such as the mg13. However, because the German army had too many fronts, it was not completely replaced until the end of World War II.
It also spawned the more famous mg42, while other old machine guns were still in service during World War II. It was improved from hurn1930) by changing the original magazine supply to a belt supply, adding a barrel sleeve and increasing the rate of fire to
With a capacity of 800 to 900 rounds per minute, the mg34 immediately became the main weapon of the German army. In the Spanish Civil War, German soldiers achieved good results when assisting Franco's troops in combat. At the same time, the mg34 also began to become the production demand for the initial model of the general-purpose machine gun mg34.
It takes a long time and the cost is also very high. Each gun requires 49 kilograms (108 pounds) of steel to be drilled to produce a mg34 weighing 12.1 kilograms. Due to the high rate of fire, the barrel is more likely to overheat and prone to accidents.
Fault
The mg34 can be directly fed by a belt, or a 50-round single-chamber drum loaded with a belt or a 75-round double-chamber drum without a belt can be hung on the left side of the receiver for feeding, but it can be modified into a 75-round double-chamber drum.
It is not possible to directly change the rebound chain supply. The barrel of the mg34 can be quickly replaced. Just open the fixed lock between the receiver and the barrel sleeve, and then rotate the entire receiver to take out the trigger of the mg34 barrel in the barrel sleeve.
The design is unique. There is a double semi-circular trigger in the trigger guard. The upper semi-circular trigger is in semi-automatic mode (printed with "e"), while the lower semi-circular trigger with a push-type safety is in fully automatic mode (printed with "d").
"Character)
In light machine gun mode, the mg34 with bipod weighs 12.1 kilograms, while in medium and heavy machine gun modes, a tripod weighing 6.75 kilograms or a larger tripod weighing 23.6 kilograms called ffette can be selected. In addition to an adjustable rear sight, the machine gun
There is another flip-up long-range rear sight on the left side of the box. A telescopic sight can also be added for long-range shooting. A periscope can even be added to allow the shooter to keep shooting in the trench without being exposed to the line of fire.
The biggest feature of the mg34 type is that the machine gun has a complex structure, is inconvenient to process, and the gun body is too heavy, so it later evolved into the famous mg42
Wang Jiuling is still clear about the gap between the two machine guns. He doesn’t know what harm the mg42 will bring to Europe and the world if it comes out ten years in advance. But that is not what Wang Jiuling cares about. China was the victor in World War I and World War II.
However, he did not get anything to live in, and instead lost a lot of sovereignty and territory. Therefore, Wang Jiuling wanted Germany to teach these white-haired pigs a lesson. At the same time, he could also please Germany. Then various aids would come in large quantities.
China can also take advantage of the situation. Even if it doesn’t get a lot of benefits, at least it doesn’t have to back down! What’s more, if it doesn’t do something that harms others but not itself, what else can it do? What’s more, it’s still China’s enemies that are harmed.
Julian now knows that Wang Jiuling is a firearms expert, and the mg34 general-purpose machine gun is not a secret. Wang Jiuling got his wish and saw the mg34 and visited the entire production process.
Wang Jiuling pretended to study for a long time, Julian and Heinrich, the designer of the gun; Vollmer had been standing by the side, Heinrich; Vollmer learned from Julian that the young man in front of him was interested in
He is very proficient in firearms. In fact, he also knows the shortcomings of mg34, but he can't find other methods. He hopes that Wang Jiuling can give good suggestions.
Wang Jiuling worked there for more than an hour, dismantling and reinstalling, reinstalling and dismantling. The left rear breathed a sigh of relief and said to Julian: "MG34 has a serious shortcoming. Its structure is more complicated. The complex structure directly causes
The manufacturing process is complex - it consumes more man-hours and materials. If a war like the last world war breaks out, according to the production capacity of mg34, even if all factories operate at full capacity, they will not be able to meet the needs of the front line.
It will waste a lot of precious manpower. In that kind of war period, manpower is the most precious."
Heinrich Vollmer said: "Then what does General General think we should do?"
Wang Jiuling said, "I think a large number of parts can be changed to stamping parts. There is a shortage of metals in precious countries, and the metal utilization rate of traditional manufacturing processes is only about 25%. Switching to stamping parts can save a lot of metal and improve metal production."
The utilization rate and cost are reduced. At the same time, the manufacturing efficiency of stamping parts is much faster, and the production capacity can be increased hundreds of times. Moreover, the structure of stamping parts is more compact. The new machine gun's ability to adapt to harsh environments should be higher than mg34." Then
Wang Jiuling looked at Julian and Heinrich; Vollmer, what do you mean?
Heinrich, Vollmer and Julian are veterans of firearms for many years. The stamping process is indeed much less troublesome than the traditional firearms manufacturing process, but the quality of the manufactured machine guns is not guaranteed to be better too early.
Heinrich Vollmer said: "The stamping process can indeed improve the utilization rate of metal, and German technology can fully meet the requirements. However, I will only know after experiments whether a better gun can be produced."
Wang Jiuling said: "I think it is better to find a metal stamping expert to see if it can work with his professional eyes. I hope to finalize the gun before leaving Germany. Our country is waiting for this machine gun to be installed!"
Wang Jiuling is really anxious. Xikang has no plans to produce Maxim machine guns or other machine guns. If it weren't for the fact that the 29th Route Army needs a large number of machine guns, it would be too expensive to buy. In addition, there are a large number of Czech ZB-26s in China.
For use, Wang Jiuling does not plan to build the ZB-26 production line in Xikang. He is waiting for the mg42 to be installed. When used as a light machine gun, the bipod is fixed on the front hoop of the barrel sleeve of the machine gun; when used as a heavy machine gun
When used, the machine gun is installed on a lightweight (aluminum) anti-aircraft tripod or anti-aircraft double bracket gun mount and a folding anti-aircraft prop. It can also be fixed on a special anti-aircraft prop.
With such a good machine gun, it is a waste of resources to produce machine guns that cannot keep up with the trend. Wang Jiuling clearly knows that the general-purpose machine gun is the trend of historical development, and countless medium-sized machine guns have evolved in later generations.
, but they are all based on the mg series.
So when I come to Germany this time, I need to set up several production lines and introduce a large number of stamping process machine tools. By then, mass production will be carried out. By then, we will not be able to hold the Type 92 heavy machine gun that can only shoot two hundred rounds per minute.
The Japanese beat him to pieces. Thinking of this, Wang Jiuling smiled obscenely and drooled out.
In the next few days, Wang Jiuling studied ways to improve mg34 with Heinrich, Vollmer, Julian and German stamping process experts until returning to Munich on November 7.
