The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 301 Test firing of new weapons 1
A few days later, Fatty Ding, who was helping He Wei purchase new weapons, arrived as promised. He brought a small convoy and the new weapons ordered by He Wei to the secret service camp. To be precise, from this moment on, it should be called Army Assault. The headquarters of the Corps.

At the gate of the barracks at the camp, He Wei, who had already been notified, was already waiting outside the gate. Fu Chen, former deputy battalion commander of the special agent battalion and commander of the first infantry company, Fang Jing, commander of the second infantry company, and Fang Jing, commander of the third infantry company Company commander Hu Zhaowu, artillery company commander Chen Xinsheng, spy platoon leader Yang Biao, communications platoon leader Sun Xisheng and others also followed He Wei with great interest, looking forward to the upcoming new weapons.

Regarding his purchase of a batch of arms and equipment, He Wei did not hide it from his officers. Of course, He Wei did not reveal all the inside information. He carried out the matters purchased in the name of doing things in the style of Spring and Autumn.

However, now it seems that since He Wei has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Army Commando Corps and is very close to He Shaozhou, this bullshit is becoming more and more real.

In order to make the bullshit talk more real, He Wei had just quietly mentioned a few words to Tao Heiwa. When Na Ting Lunshi arrived, he would be promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Army Assault Corps. An incident appeared in front of Ding Lunshi to give He Wei more weight and authority over Ding Lunshi.

In fact, even He Wei himself did not expect that Fatty Ding could find the MG34 machine gun and Brand mm mortar so quickly. Originally, He Wei did not have % expectations when he bought these weapons. , to a large extent, there was an idea of ​​trying to hit three poles with dates but no dates, but this fat guy was really quite capable. In such a short period of time, he actually got the weapon.

He Wei thought about it, maybe it wasn't Minister He and He Shaozhou's tiger skin that he had played a big role in. In order to let this guy continue to do many things for him that he couldn't do in the future, let Fatty Ding see how powerful he was. Necessary.

"I'm coming!"

The messenger Tao Hewa watched two German Mercedes-Benz trucks slowly drive to the gate of the camp and said loudly in excitement. In front of the two trucks was an exquisite car, and Ding Lun appeared outside the passenger window. Fatty Shiding’s plump face.

"Brother He, Brother He!"

When the car stopped, before it could stabilize, Ding Lunshi hurriedly ran out of the car and ran towards He Wei with a big belly. He was greeted with a wave of extremely affectionate greetings.

"Brother He, one day is like three autumns after not seeing each other for a long time. I miss you so much."

He Wei looked at the funny Fatty Ding and said with a smile: "Haha, I miss Brother Ding very much. Speaking of which, I really want to thank Brother Ding this time. These weapons, whether they are machine guns or mortars, are rare. I really didn’t expect that Brother Ding would gain something so quickly. I really want to thank you.”

"Hey, brother, why do you say this? I am also Chinese and I am patriotic. You and Minister He are all soldiers. They serve the country and the people every day and protect the country. It is my duty to do the same. If you contribute, others can’t do anything, so you can help find some weapons and ammunition.”

Fatty Ding said with an expression of concern for the country and the people.

He Wei nodded. He was indeed patriotic, but he was making some "little money" while being patriotic.

He Wei gave Tao Heiwa, the messenger behind him, a look, then raised his hand to Fatty Ding and said, "Brother Ding is very righteous."

"Captain, let's go in!"

Tao Heiwa said, with He Wei's advance, he shouted the three words "captain" very loudly, and these three words were accurately captured by Fatty Ding.

"Oh, Captain?"

Ding Lunshi said with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing, it's just a small change in my position recently. Thanks to Minister He, I have been promoted to the lieutenant colonel of the newly established Army Commando Corps. The size of the army is not large, it is only a reinforced regiment level, and it is directly under the Military Commission.”

He Wei said calmly, but Ding Lunshi was extremely shocked, thinking that when he met He Wei not long ago, this young officer was only a major, but now he has been promoted to lieutenant colonel, and He also served as the chief officer of an army!

Of course, what really surprised him was that He Wei's position seemed to be recommended by Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Doesn't this mean that He Wei is Minister He's confidant?
Even Ding Lunshi began to doubt in his heart whether He Wei was a relative of Minister He. After all, the two had the same surname. He Wei was so young, promoted so quickly, and was a close confidant of Minister He. It really could not help but arouse the suspicion. People are suspicious.

As a result, Ding Lunshi valued He Wei a lot more.

Of course, He Wei never expected that his insidious remarks would make Ding Lunshi suspect that he was a relative of Minister He.

"Captain He, he is so promising at such a young age. He really has a bright future."

Ding Lunshi sighed to He Wei, his eyes flashed with light, and he showed a little more respect for He Wei in his words. He also called He Wei Captain He, which was obviously to put He Wei in front of him. assumed a major position.

"Brother, you don't have to call me that, just call me by my name. Let's get started quickly. I can't wait, and the brothers behind me can't wait to see the new weapons you brought."

He Wei said.

Ding Lunshi nodded repeatedly and shouted to the small convoy behind him: "Drive, drive in, and start displaying and test-firing immediately!"

Two trucks and a car slowly drove into the assault group's station, and under the guidance of He Wei, they drove to the training ground inside the station. Here, there was a large shooting range that had been leveled in advance. The targets have also been placed and ready.

After the two trucks were parked, the people who came with Ding Lunshi were busy carrying out several green boxes from the back of the truck. Then, under the leadership of Ding Lunshi, they took these few boxes. The box was carried in front of He Wei and a group of secret service officers.

"Captain He, this is the machine gun you want. Do you think you want to test the gun now?"

Dean asked, pointing to the box. He Wei waved his hand and said: "No need for now, open it and take a look."

"Okay, open it!"

The people carrying the boxes quickly used crowbars to pry open several boxes. As the boxes were opened, He Wei and the impatient officers stepped forward to take a look. They saw that in the first box, there was A black, slender machine gun with a slender sound and beautiful shape. The front of the gun body is a trumpet-shaped muzzle. The bipod is fixed on the front hoop of the barrel sleeve of the machine gun. There are dense heat dissipation holes scattered around the outside of the barrel.

There is a very beautiful wavy shape near the bolt and the bullet inlet. Both the workmanship and polishing are extremely sophisticated.

"Hey, this gun is a bit like the Sulotong general-purpose machine gun we used."

Fu Chen said curiously.

"Yes, and it looks similar to the machine gun mounted on the tank."

Hu Zhaowu also echoed.

Yang Biao, Fang Jing and others were also amazed at the box-heavy machine gun. Indeed, for these officers of the Chinese Army, such a machine gun is indeed very rare, and even exceeds the definition of a machine gun in many people's minds. .

However, He Wei is very familiar with the time traveler. He was not too shocked after seeing the true form of MG34. After all, information about this gun can be found everywhere on the Internet in later generations, and He Wei also used it in his mercenary career. I am very familiar with the original MG34 old gun and the MG3 general-purpose machine gun produced by the Federal Republic of Germany that fires NATO standard caliber bullets.

"The model of this gun is the MG34 general-purpose machine gun. If the two officers are right, the Sulotong machine gun should be the MG30 machine gun. The so-called machine gun mounted on the tank should be the MG13 light machine gun. These two machine guns It is indeed similar to the MG34 machine gun, and this MG34 is a derivative of these two machine guns.”

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit who was somewhat similar to Ding Lunshi came over and began to introduce the MG34 machine gun to the officers. He Wei looked at this man and guessed he was a manager or a second-tier comprador of some foreign company. some type of.

"Sirs, please take a look at these boxes."

The middle-aged man directed others to open several more boxes and continued to introduce: "This machine gun is actually the most advanced machine gun in Germany. It was successfully developed in 1935, the 24th year of the Republic of China. , however, the output of this machine gun is not high, and the German Army has not yet purchased it on a large scale, but its performance is excellent, and it has the functions of a light machine gun, a heavy machine gun, and an anti-aircraft machine gun. Please take a look ”

The middle-aged comprador pointed to the boxes and said: "There are two types of gun mounts inside. The first is a land tripod gun mount. When this machine gun is mounted on this kind of tripod, it can be used as a heavy machine gun. The second type is an anti-air shooting tripod, which can be used for anti-air shooting when mounted on this gun stand.”

At this time, the officers behind He Wei were completely attracted by the machine gun in front of them. Then, the middle-aged comprador successively told everyone about the various accessories and general functions of the mg34 machine gun.

From the most basic ammunition chain or saddle drum for ammunition, to the folding front sight for machine guns, folding rear sights with anti-aircraft sights, vertical rear sights, optical sights, anti-aircraft sighting rings, combat shooting The periscope and adjustable trigger were all explained to the officers in detail one by one.

Fu Chen, Fang Jing and other officers were obviously brainstormed. The MG34 in front of them had given them enough shock.

After the person finished explaining, He Wei stepped forward impatiently and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and fire a few shots with real ammunition."

Ding Lunshi also echoed and said: "Yes, yes, hurry up and start the shooting demonstration!"

Soon, dense and continuous gunshots rang out from the shooting range, and bullets were splashed out like rain. These test gunners affiliated to the foreign companies were obviously very professional. First, they showed everyone the MG34 combat in the light machine gun state on the shooting range. Expand method.

In this state, the machine gun adopts a bipod combat shooting method, and the ammunition supply method used is a fifty-round metal bullet chain or a saddle-type drum. At the same time, during the combat shooting performance, the test gunners also demonstrated Semi-automatic and fully automatic combat conversion firing modes of MG34 machine gun.

The trigger of the MG34 machine gun has two shooting modes at the same time. When the groove on the trigger is pressed (marked E), it is a single shot. When the groove under the trigger is pressed (marked D) or when the trigger is pressed with two fingers, it is a continuous shot. Shooting, in combat, once it is necessary to switch the shooting mode, the shooter can pull the different trigger positions, without having to rely on feeling to switch between bursts of fire like operating other machine guns.

From this point of view, the exquisite design of MG34 can be said to have greatly saved training costs. Taking the Chinese army as an example, many machine gunners actually lack the combat skills of short burst and single-shot shooting, and this skill can only rely on combat experience. and training to accumulate.
The exquisite design of the MG34 solves this problem very well. Even the follow-up model of the MG34, the MG42, does not have this device. As a low-end version of the MG42, the MG34 has an extremely high rate of fire. As a result, Germany equipped with the MG42 Soldiers can only adjust their rate of fire based on experience.

In addition, He Wei alone demonstrated the disassembly, assembly and use of the trigger specially issued for winter operations on the MG34, as well as the quick barrel replacement operation, which attracted the admiration of all the officers present except He Wei.

Then, the test gunners changed the MG34 machine gun into a heavy machine gun equipped with a tripod, and used a bullet chain as the ammunition supply method for long-term continuous shooting. After shooting a bullet chain in the open ground of the shooting range, the very professional test gunners They found another foxhole, placed the MG34 in heavy machine gun status in the machine gun bunker position, and performed concealed shooting combat methods for everyone with the periscope.

The so-called concealed shooting combat method is to use the shooting hinge on the tripod of the MG34 machine gun together with the periscope shooting. All the shooter's combat actions are hidden in the fortifications and hidden parts below the horizon. In this case, ordinary flat-fire weapons are simply unable to It effectively kills the MG34 machine gunners hiding in the fortifications, but the MG34 machine gunners can calmly hide in the fortifications and fire.

In this shooting show organized to sell machine guns, the final finishing touch was the operation of the machine gun in anti-aircraft mode. That is, the Mg34 machine gun was mounted on an anti-aircraft tripod and the anti-aircraft sight was used for anti-aircraft shooting. The firepower was very fierce.

It seems to be to show the firepower of mg34. When shooting in the air, the test shooters all used yellow and green tracer bullets. Dozens of dense ballistics flew everywhere, and the red and green machine gun ballistics were very spectacular in the sky. However, He Wei and the officers were not very interested in the extremely majestic air shooting.

Because this group of officers with rich combat experience all know that the effectiveness of machine guns for air defense is actually very useless. It can only be said to be better than nothing.

Of course, everyone is very satisfied with the overall combat performance of the MG34 machine gun. It can even be said that many people's understanding and concept of the machine gun as a combat weapon have changed today because of the MG34 machine gun.

So, after this battle performance that consumed nearly a thousand rounds of bullets, He Wei asked Ding Lunshi directly: "How much does this machine gun cost?"
