Rise from the sword

Chapter 299 General Purpose Machine Gun
"Ding Wei?"

"Are you begging for food again?"

Li Yunlong was full of disgust.

Even if you think about it with your nose, you must know that there is nothing good about this dog day. If you are not here to ask for supplies, or you are here to ask for weapons and ammunition, you will definitely not be able to escape.Otherwise, what else can you do?

reminisce?

The three of them need to catch up?
There is nothing old to talk about!

"Let him stay alone in the reception room of the regiment headquarters for a while, don't worry about it, labor and management have no time to talk to him now."

Leader Li was thinking about the fifteen machine guns he had just acquired, so he had no time to talk to Ding Wei.

That's a general purpose machine gun.

Although he doesn't know what a general-purpose machine gun is, but!According to the full name of this machine gun, what is the 34 general-purpose machine gun, while the Czech style is called the Czech light machine gun, the full name of the Bren is called the Bren light machine gun, and the heavy machine gun capable of air defense is called the M2 Browning heavy machine gun.In other words, this general-purpose machine gun is called a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun.

A whole new type of machine gun.

Leader Li was very interested. As for Ding Wei, let's cool off.

"what?···"

The soldier who sent the message was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Is it true that a group leader is left alone and ignored?
The soldier who spread the word could only look at Zhao Gang, hoping that the political commissar would stand up and say a few words,

Zhao Gang touched his nose with a helpless expression.

He didn't want to get involved in the matter between Ding Kongli and the three of them. These three guys belonged to dogs.

Sun Desheng also learned from Baoyuan, good or bad, and got the new German motorcycle from Boss Chen, so he left the head of the political commissar aside.

"You go and tell Captain Ding that our Captain Li has something to do, so we can come to receive you later." Zhao Gang finally said.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang, did not speak, and continued to lower his head to think about the thought in his mind.

There are two types of machine guns, light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

Light machine guns have good maneuverability, but poor range and firepower persistence, and poor accuracy. Heavy machine guns have good continuous shooting performance. The tripod stabilizes the trajectory and has a long range, but it is too heavy and poor in maneuverability.The most commonly used Czech type and Min 24 type in the army use the same type of Mauser pointed bullets, but the effective range of the former is only about 500 meters, and the latter can reach 800 meters.

On the battlefield, with the decentralization of artillery firepower, especially the emergence of mortars, the mobility of machine guns has become more and more important, but the range, firepower continuity and accuracy are also the tireless pursuit of the troops.

Although with the development of manufacturing and design technology, rapid replacement of the barrel technology has appeared, and the belt feed can also be added to the light machine gun, and the firepower of the light machine gun has increased, but compared with the water-cooled heavy machine gun, it is still insufficient.Not to mention the shooting stability brought by the big tripod.

For a long time, all the front-line commanders had an idea. If there is a machine gun that can be used as a light machine gun to accompany the infantry to attack, and can also be used as a heavy machine gun as a stable fire support point, it would be perfect.However, just thinking about it, this is simply impossible, the structure of the two guns is very different, and the technical difficulty is too high.

So···
Will this so-called universal machine gun solve this problem?

universal, universal...
It means it can be used!

Think here.Leader Li felt more and more that this was very possible.

The combination of the two machine guns, as long as it is a grassroots commander, at the regiment and battalion level, has had this idea, but it is impossible to do it due to technical difficulties. As for myself, Brother Chen, he has absolutely no technical skills. The guns that come out are much better than the devil's quality.

"Wait..."

Suddenly, Li Yunlong stopped the soldier who was about to leave: "Let Ding Wei come to the shooting range, hehehe, let this dog see the new gun that brother Chen sent, and starve him to death."

"Yes."

The warrior nodded.

Zhao Gang immediately rolled his eyes.

······
range.

Everyone stared straight at a fully assembled machine gun.

"That's a good idea."

Ding Wei moved his throat, with an envious tone:

"It can be fed by belts or drums with 75 rounds. It can quickly replace the barrel. It is equipped with a heavy-duty tripod. It can be used as a light machine gun to accompany infantry attacks, or it can be mounted on a tripod as a heavy machine gun as a fire support point."

"Good gun."

"Good gun."

After finishing speaking, Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong, almost drooling.

want to······
really want.

However, Lao Ding also knew very well that Li Yunlong himself didn't have many of this new machine gun, so he would definitely not give it to him.

"This data, there is nothing wrong with it."

At this time, Zhao Gang was looking at the machine gun description he had just dug out and said, looking at the rate of fire on it, he felt a toothache: "The maximum rate of fire is 1000 two hundred rounds per minute, it must be a printing error, this rate of fire is impossible. "

He was happy just now, and gave away 15 rounds of ammunition with the gun. Seeing the rate of fire, he suddenly felt a shock. If the whole regiment is equipped with this kind of machine gun, the rate of fire is 1000 to [-] rounds per minute.

How long can 15 rounds of bullets last?

I'm afraid that 150 million rounds are not enough.

"1000 two hundred rounds per minute?"

Head Ding stared at him, subconsciously took a step back.

Really scared.

The Czech type is only [-] rounds per minute, which is more than twice as fast.If you don't pull the trigger, a dozen rounds of bullets are gone?It's better not to.His new group of possessions can't afford to use them even if they are given.

Don't talk about him, even a little devil can't afford it.

"Try the gun first."

Leader Li also twitched the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face was stiff.

Mislabeling is impossible, so this must be the actual rate of fire.

Although the combat rate of fire is completely different from the maximum rate of fire, such as the Czech style, the maximum rate of fire is 1 rounds per minute, but the combat shooting is all short bursts, about three rounds a burst, when the battle is fierce, the maximum is only [-] minute The rate of fire is around [-], and the magazine feed limits the upper limit of the rate of fire.The average combat rate of fire is two magazines per minute, which means about fifty rounds per minute.

According to empirical calculations, the rate of fire is 1000 or two hundred rounds per minute, that is, one burst is twelve rounds.

And this thing is still fed by a belt, with 250 rounds for a belt.

Damn it!
While Commander Li was muttering to himself, a machine gunner stepped forward to hold the machine gun, then loaded the ammunition chain, and pulled the trigger at a distant target. At the same time, the sound of Maxim's shooting, in the ears of the evangelists at this time, was a tearing sound, and the sound was almost practiced as a string.

"hiss······"

"It seems that there is no labeling error."

Looking at the empty bullet casings all over the floor, Zhao Gang's teeth ached.

It's really 1000 or two hundred rounds per minute, and the speed cannot be adjusted. One trigger will cause ten bullets to fly out. This is still an elite shooter.Who can afford this thing!

"Lao Li, do we need to equip this gun?"

Commissar Zhao felt a pain in his heart.

Although the Independent Regiment currently has more than 100 million rounds of ammunition in stock, it can't stand the waste of this machine gun. The Bren type is enough, and he thinks that this gun can be used without equipment.

Li Yunlong didn't answer Zhao Gang's question, but his eyes were serious with horror and deep thought.

Ding Wei also had the same expression.

Both of them are regiment leaders who have come from the front line. They have rich combat experience, and the term "hardened battles" is perfect. After a round of test firing, after a chain of ammunition flew out, the two of them recognized the gun at a glance. good and bad.

The speed of fire is fast, the disadvantage is the waste of bullets, but the advantage is also obvious, the firepower is outrageous.

Shorter intervals, larger bullet coverage, and more difficult to dodge bullet rain.That is, an ultimate goal pursued by all soldiers is more intense firepower.

It is not entirely true that recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of machine guns, but they are not wrong either.A machine gun with a super high rate of fire has a much stronger blocking ability than the Bren and Czech machine guns, and its shooting efficiency is also higher.

Although this terrifying ammunition consumption certainly cannot be equipped on a large scale, it is still no problem to equip a few with a small amount. At critical moments, the layout of key points will definitely come in handy.

This is a good gun.

"Lao Li, you don't care how I stand."

Ding Wei rolled his eyes and said.

"Fuck off."

Li Yunlong stared and scolded:

"The labor and capital are not enough for themselves, so give it back to you? It's a good idea."

"Hey, you just..."

Immediately, the two regiment leaders started, regardless of the soldiers around them.

Listening to the debate between the two, Zhao Gang also came to his senses. Although he was not as sharp as the two men in combat experience over the past year, he was not bad. He quickly realized that the high rate of fire of this new machine gun is both Disadvantages are also advantages, as long as they are used well, they can fully exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"Leave two machine guns for training, and put the others in the warehouse first."

Zhao Gang commanded the guard platoon soldiers who were in charge of testing the guns.

As for Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, the two guys have already hooked up.

······
"What is Captain Ding doing here?"

At noon, Zhao just saw Li Yunlong coming back alone with the smell of alcohol in his mouth.

Obviously, it was drinking with Ding Wei.

"Humph."

Li Yunlong curled his lips, sat down on the chair, and said cursingly:
"What else can I do? Come and ask for help."

"He, Ding Wei, is also expanding his army. He didn't have enough food, so he turned his attention to labor and management."

"food?"

Zhao Gang smiled immediately.

If it's weapons and ammunition, they might not be able to give them. Leader Li is very concerned about this, and the independent regiment will face the devil's attack in the future, and the pressure will be great.But the grain, the independent regiment that just got 180 tons of fine grain, has more stocks in the warehouse, which can fully support the brother troops.

"You promised?"

Zhao Gang asked.

Since Ding Wei came to ask for it himself, and the independent group was able to help, Li Yunlong would definitely agree.

"Well, he was given seventy tons of staple food."

Li Yunlong smiled: "The new group has also expanded, and now it is a large group of 2000 or [-] people."

Leader Li's tone was full of emotion.

After all, the new regiment is his old army, and it is he who led step by step from the weakest regiment with less than 500 people to the first-class main force regiment. Now seeing that this regiment is getting stronger under Ding Wei's hands, I am also proud Yan.

"Seventy tons of grain?"

Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows.

This quantity is much more than he expected. He thought that he could support twenty or thirty tons at most.

"What did Commander Ding exchange for?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Gang continued to ask.

With this amount, except for the brigade commander who asks for it, other people are not allowed to leave anything, can they take it away?

"Hahaha····"

Faced with Zhao Gang's unsuspecting tone of inquiry, Li Yunlong immediately laughed, and said in a cheerful tone, "It's that Wang Chengzhu, my former subordinate, who is finally willing to give it to me this time."

"The gunner who killed Sakata."

Zhao Gang remembered.

For this old subordinate, Li Yunlong had discussed with Ding Wei many times, but they were all rejected. He did not expect to exchange dozens of tons of grain this time.After all, Ding Wei has made a lot of money over the past year.

A gunner, in exchange for [-] tons of grain, no matter how cost-effective.

As for changing personnel to affect combat effectiveness, other regiments may still have the possibility, but this kind of thing does not exist in Xinyi regiment and independent regiment.

"Yes, it is to kill the gunner of Sakata with one shot. The command of this kid is not bad. When I was in the new regiment, I made an artillery platoon very impressive. This time when he comes, I can also prepare to establish the second artillery company. gone."

Li Yunlong was planning in his heart:

"Then, the motorcycle platoon on Sun Desheng's side can also be prepared. It just so happens that these fifteen general-purpose machine guns can be deployed to the motorcycle platoon. The combination of mobility and firepower can serve as a surprise soldier and play a role at critical moments."

"right,"

Zhao Gang agreed with this arrangement: "Those motorcycles are very maneuverable and have good off-road performance. After they are proficient, if they all use the road, they can quickly maneuver to a distance of [-] kilometers in one day if the weather is fine."

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Gang was very excited.

Two hundred kilometers a day, that is, four hundred miles. This is still the case when the road is in the hands of the devil. If you have mastered the road, or a part of it, with the mobility of a motorcycle, you can travel five hundred miles a day in plains and gentle slopes. not a problem.This is almost the distance from Yangcun to Shijiazhuang.With this mobility, it's easy to do something at that time.

"but··"

Zhao Gang paused:
"This requires the soldiers to have a good understanding of motorcycles and be able to repair and maintain them. But now the guys in our regiment can't install them after they are disassembled. Last time, they forgot to install a valve, and the engine burned later. gone."

"Go to your superiors for help."

Leader Li smiled and sighed helplessly.

As a technical talent, there is really nothing he can do about it.

Fortunately, he is also an organized person. He has a superior. If he has a problem, he can just ask the superior for help.

"There are not many such talents at the superior level. Will you give them to us?"

Zhao Gang's tone was full of deep meaning.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong chuckled: "As long as the price is right, there are no talents we can't find. Look, I'm going to get a few mechanical talents here, the kind of college students."

"This time, brother Chen gave me ten heavy machine guns, just right, to exchange for good things."

"I'll go to the brigade the day after tomorrow."
