Chapter 612 612 found the fleet

"Priority is to allocate the Thomson submachine guns in stock to the Navy." In the conference room, Alice did not raise her head, and ordered the officials on both sides.

"They don't have an urgent need for close combat. They are just standing weapons. Using a 56 submachine gun is the same as using a Thomson submachine gun." After she explained, she turned to the next topic.

Because Tang Moyuan was in charge of the battle in Anpu, the ones in Chang'an were the princesses You Lin and Alice.

You Lin, who graduated from the military academy, has been working on personnel, conscription and other work recently, and Alice is in charge of production and economics.

Alice, who was keen on this kind of affairs in Northridge, naturally did it with ease and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

"The armored forces will issue 56 submachine guns first. They have a demand for this type of weapon. One will be issued to each vehicle first, and then we will consider adding more when the production capacity increases." As she spoke, she was already looking at the 56 pistol.

The Datang Group has recently finalized 3 types of weapons, all of which are named after the number 56, which is also the standard answer for the follow-up naming of the light weapons of the Datang Kingdom.

The previous nondescript naming method with letters was completely eliminated, or it was corrected into a purely numerical naming mode.

In the future, the AKM assault rifle produced by Datang Group will be called the Type 56 assault rifle, the MP-5 submachine gun will be named the Type 56 submachine gun, and the Beretta 92F pistol will be named the Type 56 pistol.In short, the light weapons of the Tang Kingdom will be ruled by the number 56 in a short time.

"In terms of pistols, give priority to the units that need to be equipped with pistols, such as artillery, auto soldiers, logistics units... and officers, let's replace them with Type 56 pistols." Alice did not discuss, and directly finalized the pistol replacement plan.

When she handles things, she is very arbitrary, and she hardly considers other opinions, because she thinks her plan is the best.

In fact, she is indeed a good hand in overall planning, and she handles this complicated arrangement perfectly.

Because of the expansion of the army, the previous elite soldier policy of the Tang Kingdom actually began to fail to keep up with the needs of development.

Before the Tang Army issued pistols to all infantry, but later found that this situation was a bit too wasteful: most of the time, soldiers did not have the opportunity to use pistol weapons, because submachine guns were too popular in the Tang Army.

Therefore, in the subsequent formation of troops, the infantry is generally only equipped with main weapons, and does not continue to be issued with pistols.

This not only simplifies logistics, but also simplifies the training of soldiers: weapons are not just issued. Soldiers need two types of training to master two types of weapons, which also requires additional training costs.

In addition, in addition to training costs, maintenance costs are also required.All weapons require regular maintenance, oiling and wiping, which invisibly adds a burden to the soldiers themselves.

In addition, carrying two types of ammunition also adds more burden to soldiers. If they do not carry ammunition for secondary weapons and secondary weapons, soldiers can carry one or two more magazines for the main weapon, which also significantly increases the burden on the main weapon. The persistence of fire of the weapon.

Therefore, a soldier with a pistol on his waist looks handsome, but it may not be of much use in actual combat.There are benefits to wearing it, and there are reasons not to wear it.

Therefore, it makes sense for Alice to order that the new pistols be given priority to officers, as well as artillery, auto, and logistics personnel.

According to Tang Jun's own use experience, the secondary weapons of the front-line combat troops should actually be gradually removed.

After all, compared to M1911 and Beretta 92F, the fucking AKM is really delicious, isn't it?The firepower of the two is not at the same level at all, and the fool also knows that carrying two extra AK magazines is much more reliable than a pistol.

"The eliminated M1911 pistols should be used by the navy first..." Alice continued.

Anyway, naval combat is dominated by warships, and the demand for light weapons is not urgent.Relatively speaking, their logistical pressure is not that great.

According to past experience, the pistol and rifle bullets issued on naval warships are basically only used for training, so the inventory is generally very stable.

"Because of the need for secrecy, the deployment of the 56 assault rifle is given priority to domestic troops!" After talking about the submachine gun and pistol, Alice arranged for the deployment of the assault rifle.

The reason for giving to the domestic troops that did not participate in the war first is also very simple.In addition to the confidentiality reasons mentioned by Alice, there is another unspecified reason.

Tang Mo was very worried about the irrational decision made by the Dahua Empire and the Chu State, so he strengthened the combat effectiveness of the remaining troops in the country in advance.

Giving priority to equipping these new troops with new weapons and equipment, on the one hand, it can boost morale and improve the combat effectiveness of these troops, and on the other hand, it can also keep secrets, which is killing two birds with one stone.

……

On Long Island, in the outer waters, two flying fortress bombers were flying in formation under the clouds with their engines roaring.

This kind of patrol has now been normalized, because actual combat has proved that radio navigation is very effective, and the danger of aircraft going to sea has been greatly reduced.

However, to be on the safe side, all patrolling aircraft are Flying Fortresses and Stukas, and single-seat Butcher fighter jets are not involved in patrolling.

Because of the long range and low speed, the B-17 Flying Fortress is simply a magic weapon in the environment of long-range patrol and reconnaissance.

It can carry a large amount of fuel, and can cruise a lot of areas at one time, because it has a greenhouse-style nose, a reserved tail, and windows on the side fuselage, and the vision is also quite good.

Two planes flew across the sky one after the other, and soon an observer put down the binoculars in his hand, pressed the throat communicator and shouted loudly: "Fleet found! Fleet found!"

"3 o'clock direction! 3 o'clock direction!" He reminded his pilot anxiously, and then picked up the binoculars again.

On the surface of the sea, a ship emitting thick black smoke was advancing, and there was another ship following behind the ship.

They cut the sea surface, and the white waves rolled to the sides, which could be seen clearly in the sky.

With the reminder of the observer, the people on the other plane also found these targets: "We need to verify the identity! Control tower, call the control tower!"

"This is the command tower! This is the command tower!" On the other side of the radio, the officer in charge of commanding this patrol responded quickly.

Because the patrol missions are too frequent, everyone is too lazy to come up with code names for the missions.Words such as bees, flowers, dragons' nests, and the like have already been used almost.

"Eastern Patrol Team, coordinates 117, 219... found two unidentified ships, please check their identities! Please check their identities." On the plane, the radio operator received the coordinate information from the navigator and reported loudly.The flying fortress is so big that the occupants inside can even walk around.

"I'm checking the shipping watch! Follow this fleet closely." In the command tower, the officer on duty reached out and grabbed the shipping watch, and began to check.

"Find the third ship! This is a large fleet!" The two flying fortress bombers that had already begun to adjust their routes discovered the third ship.

The speed of the plane is definitely faster than that of the ship, so after adjusting the route and flying around in a targeted manner, more discoveries were made soon.

"The fourth ship! The fifth ship! A lot of ships! Lower the altitude! Maybe we can confirm whether they are battleships or not!" On the leading flying fortress, the pilot began to descend and passed the entire fleet again.

"Don't be reckless! Keep your distance!" In the earphones, came the commanding voice from the control tower: "I'm still looking for the shipping watch! It will take a little time!"

"I think...you don't need to check the shipping schedule!" On the plane that had already lowered the altitude, the pilot shouted through the intercom.

"They have deck guns! They have turrets! They are battleships! These ships are battleships! Damn them!" He passed a Cyric-produced battleship that was speeding up, and shouted loudly to the command tower.

"I also found the shipping information, there should be no transport ships at your location! Damn it! Sound the alarm! Sound the battle alarm! We have found the enemy fleet!" Because of the excitement, the command tower even forgot to close it. call.

"Follow them! I'll send a plane to replace you immediately!" Soon, the officer on duty grabbed the communicator again and ordered loudly: "Raise the altitude! Just keep in touch! Pay attention to safety! Don't be impulsive!"

"I'm a patrol plane! Sir! I'm not carrying a bomb! Repeat, I can't launch an attack!" The pilot explained helplessly, even if he wanted to attack now, he was powerless.Could it be that he was allowed to drive a plane to hit an enemy ship?What a joke!
Obviously, the fleet below their feet has also spotted these two bombers flying around repeatedly.On the deck, some personnel began to look up at the sky, pointing at the two flying fortress bombers.

"We've been spotted!" Inside the bridge, a Cyric naval officer looked at the commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom's navy beside him.

"Sooner or later, didn't the telegram say that they have a new type of weapon called an airplane, which is very fast... There is no reason not to use it." The naval commander of the Goblin Kingdom said with a wry smile.

He grabbed the binoculars and looked at the plane in the distant sky: "I have suggested three times to cancel this battle plan...but you don't agree."

"I have no choice..." Cyric's officer also smiled wryly: "After the accident with the airship unit, I also feel that this attack will not be so easy to succeed."

"The enemy's battleship is nearby! If we are discovered, we will be finished." The naval commander of the Goblin Kingdom put down the binoculars and pointed to the plane in the distance: "Unfortunately, now...we have been discovered!"
