Chapter 780 The competition caused by the gun test
Tang Dao is of course very familiar with semi-automatic rifles, even if they are considered antiques for him who comes from the future.
The so-called semi-automatic rifle refers to a rifle that can automatically complete loading, ejection, and reloading, but can only fire one round when the trigger is pulled.
The rate of fire of this kind of rifle is naturally much higher than that of a bolt-action rifle because it saves the time of pulling the bolt to load the bullet.
Compared with the bolt-action rifles, which are currently the main rifles equipped by militaries around the world, the semi-automatic rifles that have appeared and begun to be gradually equipped with troops have not yet formed an overwhelming replacement. That is because both rifles have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The bolt-action rifle has a slow rate of fire because its longer barrel length gives the bullet a faster muzzle velocity and a greater range.
While a semi-automatic rifle fires fast enough, its faster fire rate requires a stronger gas guide system. Due to current technology, the gas guide system can easily interfere with the stability of the barrel and gun, thus affecting shooting accuracy.
Without being tested in the war, most countries, such as Asian countries, still adopted bolt-action rifles with more stable performance as the standard rifle of the army.
But the little butterfly from the future is very clear that the world war that is about to break out has proven that superior firepower is one of the key factors for soldiers to survive on the battlefield.
The confrontation between American cowboys and the Japanese on a small island in the Pacific fully proved that the bolt-action rifle will surely go into history.
The precise shooting skills that the Japanese are proud of have become a joke under the constant pull of the triggers of American cowboys. During the hedging process between the two sides, while the Japanese army shot one bullet to kill one of their opponents, the American cowboys had already pulled the trigger four or five times in succession. The dense flow of bullets knocked over the Japanese army who only had time to fire one shot. In the jungle two hundred meters away.
In the era of thermal weapons, fire coverage is the key!
The bolt-action rifle is destined to be used only by a small number of snipers who require range and accuracy.
In China, the famous 56-and-half was even used in the military for decades. It was not until China's economy began to develop greatly that the entire military changed its uniforms that it completely withdrew from the stage of history.
In Tang Dao's mind, the semi-automatic rifle is the most suitable standard rifle for his Four Lines Regiment in this era.
Of course, semi-automatic rifles consume much more ammunition than bolt-action rifles. This may be the main reason why senior officials in China and Japan did not choose them as the main rifles of the army.
Fire coverage is great, but it must be backed up by strong enough logistical supplies.
At this time, the level of logistics supply between China and Japan is that the Chinese side is lying flat, while the Japanese appear to be much stronger than the Chinese, but compared to Western countries that have entered the mechanization era, they can only It's hard to say in one word!
To put it bluntly, China is scum and Japan is scum!
Tang Dao also has to face this problem. If he wants the entire regiment to be equipped with semi-automatic rifles, guns second, he must first solve the problem of bullet production.
However, it cannot solve the problem of the whole country, and it must not be that difficult to solve the consumption of an infantry regiment.
The most important thing is to dare to think. If you don't even dare to think, human civilization will still be drinking blood! The ability to daydream may be the most important difference between humans and other creatures.
The list of weapons is very long, and even more equipment is shipped out of the warehouse. It cannot be accepted in a short time. Moreover, Zhuang Shisan is responsible for this, Gong Shaoxun is responsible for coordination, and Tang Dao, the highest military officer, is responsible for the coordination. At best, there is a mascot on the side.
Tang Dao, who had smoked several cigarettes but had nothing to do, simply asked the lieutenant colonel deputy commander of the 662nd Regiment of the 49th Army who was accompanying him to try this semi-automatic rifle from the Czech Republic that was equipped in a small amount in the Northeastern Army.
Tang Dao really wants to see how far this semi-automatic rifle is from his requirements. The 56-and-half he is familiar with is a good guy with an effective range of 400 meters, which is enough to compete with the 38-meter rifle.
Hearing that Tang Dao wanted to test the gun, the lieutenant colonel's regimental deputy did not dare to make the decision, so he quickly asked Tang Dao to wait while he asked the signal corpsman to ask for instructions from the regimental commander who had returned to the regiment headquarters.
After all, this is not an ordinary infantry regiment station. There are about 2,000 people guarding an arsenal that can be called a huge wealth. There are three infantry battalions, one guarding the interior of Dalinzhuang and two on the flanks of Dalinzhuang. If there is any trouble, the 662 regiment, which has long been authorized by the military, can take the initiative to attack.
This gun test is a trivial matter, but the three infantry battalions who are waiting must be notified to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. This is not something he, the regimental deputy, can make the decision about.
Tang Dao will certainly not be surprised. Each army has its own actual situation and its own rules. Just follow the host.
Perhaps it was because the Four Elements regiment had previously treated people with courtesy and won a lot of favor from them. Tang Dao's request, which was not excessive but slightly troublesome, was quickly approved. The regiment leader named Colonel Gu even brought a security squad with him for this purpose. Waiting for Tang Dao in his designated area.
"Sorry! Commander Gu, Tang Dao has caused trouble for you again." Tang Dao actually had a good impression of this slightly arrogant but straightforward army colonel, and his words were naturally polite.
"Captain Tang, you're so polite. Although you and I belong to two armies, your regiment's reputation on the anti-Japanese battlefield is so great that Gu Mou has always admired it!" The colonel commander had a cold expression on his face, but he was equally polite to Tang Dao. Not disrespectful.
After finishing speaking, his eyes turned to the guard squad behind Tang Dao, looking at the Qingyishui semi-automatic rifles carried on their backs, with thoughts in their eyes, "What do you think, Commander Tang?"
"Oh! I saw 150 semi-automatic rifles listed in the list. This gun is rare. I was thinking about how to allocate this gun among the units within our regiment to form the strongest combat effectiveness without wasting the performance of this gun, so I brought a guard with me. Come try the guns and see how they are actually used!" Tang Dao replied with a smile.
"Well! Commander Tang's idea is very pragmatic. No matter how good the weapon is, it depends on the actual use of it!" Colonel Gu nodded in approval, and suddenly the conversation changed. "Captain Tang, I have heard for a long time that your regiment is famous as the Sihang Regiment. Sihang, Songjiang, and Guangde have wiped out countless enemies. Needless to say, your regiment must have countless elites. Every time the officers and soldiers of our regiment talk about it, they are proud of it! I suddenly I have an idea, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not.”
"Commander Gu, please speak!" Tang Dao's eyes moved slightly, as if he already knew the little thoughts of the man in front of him.
The saying goes, "There is no first in civil service, no second in military service." This is especially true in the military. Once you become famous, challenges will follow.
The colonel commander in front of him obviously had this in mind. His 662nd regiment was also the main infantry regiment of the 105th Division of the 49th Army. It had outstanding achievements in the Beijing-Hangzhou Highway Defense War and even the commander of the regiment was killed in the battle. It can be seen that Their combat power is so strong that it is considered extremely normal to want to compete with the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment whose military exploits and reputation are far greater than theirs.
"Captain Tang, the officers and soldiers under your command want to test the rifle. This standard rifle is not familiar to the brothers of the New Rifle Four Lines Regiment, and the security squad under my command has always been equipped with flower traps, and has not used this rifle much. Both sides Half a catty versus eight ounces, why not let them compete? What do you think? Only by increasing the psychological pressure can you show your true skills!" The colonel smiled for the first time.
"In order to let the brothers show their true skills, I will personally take out 100 oceans to reward you and our two armies for participating in this shooting competition. The first brother will have 50 oceans, the second place will have 30 oceans, and the third place will have 20 oceans. Commander Tang what do you think?"
"This" Tang Dao did not agree immediately, but frowned slightly and hesitated.
"Captain Tang, if you can win one of the top three, I have a surprise for you!" Seeing Tang Dao's hesitation, the commander named Gu smiled even more and promised. "However, I ask for your forgiveness, Captain Tang. It's not that Gu is so mysterious. Since it's a surprise, it's even more satisfying to see his true face for the last time, isn't it?"
Obviously, he had misunderstood, thinking that Tang Dao was unwilling to participate in a competition where winning would be of no benefit and losing would be embarrassing. He even threw out surprise bait.
Actually, Tang Dao hesitated, but the man in front of him was a wealthy man who took out 100 yuan as a bonus, but he, the regiment leader, hadn't even received his military pay yet! But if he doesn't come out with something, let alone his own reputation, what will the soldiers of the 49th Army think of him? Tang Dao may not care about the name of the leader of the group, but it will affect the reputation of the Four Elements Group, right?
Turning his eyes slightly, Tang Dao thought of something on his body, and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay! Since Captain Gu has this intention, it's settled. However, Captain Gu will pay for the bonus, and Tang Dao is a poor man. Not a penny."
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Commander Tang, when you first established the Four Lines Regiment, it's time to use money!" Colonel Gu shook his head to express his understanding.
But the soldiers standing straight behind him, holding the handles of submachine guns in front of their chests, showed a little disdain on their faces.
In fact, who would believe a dignified army colonel and the commander-in-chief of a regiment who said he had no money? There is a saying in China: Poor temple, rich abbot! No matter how poor the Si Xing Tuan is, the poor are still ordinary officers and soldiers. How can they starve the officers to death? Who are you trying to fool?
"However, I can use this as a reward for the brother with the best shooting score!" Tang Dao took out an iron bar from the cowhide knife pouch tied to his calf and placed it in front of the colonel.
What is this? Colonel Gu and the soldiers in the guard squad behind him were all stunned.
“Hiss!”
Then, there was a sound of gasping air!
At first glance, this looks like an iron bar, or a pointed steel thorn. However, these people are all soldiers who have fought many battles. Soon, they discovered something different from this steel thorn.
The not-so-sharp thorn tip is not the point. For soldiers who have killed many Japanese soldiers, it doesn't matter if the thorn tip is not sharp, just use more strength. What catches their attention are the several thick thorns that run through the entire steel thorn. Bleeding tank.
They can all imagine how much damage this black steel thorn will cause once it penetrates the human body. What's more terrible is that the blood will flow unstoppably along these bleeding grooves.
Perhaps, in less than a minute, no matter how dark-skinned a person is, he will turn into a white-faced boy, just like applying powder. That's the paleness after excessive blood loss!
“This is this?” Colonel Gu held this human weapon with horror in his eyes.
“This is a military spur designed by Tang Dao himself. It is also called a three-edged military spur. Because there are no machine tools, it is made manually. It is still a finished product, which made the brothers of the 49th Army laugh." Tang Dao explained.
Yes, this is the world's first three-edged military thorn, made by Mr. He.
I can only say that there are reasons why some people are successful.
Tang Dao just gave him a rough design. Just three days after leaving the station and going to Xuzhou, Teacher Xiao He, who had the design in hand, led a group of top students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Physics without any machine tools. Based on a completely scrapped heavy machine gun barrel, using the earthen furnace of the only blacksmith shop in the town, it took two days and one night to make this gun that is almost 90% similar to the future. The triangular military thorns were created.
This kind of self-discipline, which is vigorous and resolute and does not want to waste a little time, may be one of the important reasons why this person will become one of the very few female scientists in the future.
This was a sample, but Tang Dao liked it very much and confiscated it on the spot.
Teacher Xiao He saw that his work was liked by Tang Dao, but he was not angry. He even gave Tang Dao a cowhide knife bag that he had sewn before he knew it.
For an engineer, what could be more satisfying than having his work liked by others?
What's more, for this scientific master, as long as one is successful, there will be more, and the quality will be better.
In her words: The steel of this three-edged military thorn is not very good, and it has not undergone real assassination tests. I don't know how effective it is in breaking the body and bleeding. It can be regarded as a semi-finished product at best!
Teacher Xiao He's meaning is very obvious. She needs to test. The subjects of the test are of course the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and Tang Dao is the one who does the test for her.
To put it bluntly, don't look at Tang Dao as someone who robs for pleasure. In fact, in the eyes of Mr. Xiao He, he is just a tool man.
In other words, the four-line regiment will have to march over a distance of two thousand miles and will not be able to see the test subjects for at least a month or two.
Holding this weapon with a somewhat weird shape but definitely revealing fierce flames, Colonel Gu looked at a wooden stake two meters away and threw it with all his strength.
With a "snatch" sound, the seemingly unsharp triangular steel thorn was inserted deeply into the wooden stake. He strode forward and reached out to pull it out, but it was not as laborious as imagined.
Colonel Gu's face showed shock!
Having been in the army for a long time, he certainly knew that this was not because the military thorn did not penetrate deeply enough, but because the military thorn in his hand broke through the wood with too much damage, causing the wood to be unable to stab the general and get stuck.
This is the same as piercing the human body. When it is pulled out, the muscles and bones of the human body cannot cause much hindrance.
Don't underestimate this obstacle. On the battlefield, a delay of less than one second may save your life.
He could fully imagine how terrifying the lethality this military spur would cause if it were placed on the head of a rifle. It was definitely not comparable to the Japanese 38-type bayonet.
The only shortcoming is that the function of this steel thorn is too single.
“Good stuff!” Colonel Gu, holding a three-edged military thorn in his hand, praised it endlessly. "Captain Tang's unique weapon is worth no less than 100 silver coins!"
After saying that, he looked at his soldiers: "I want this military thorn. You have to win it back for me. If you win it back, each person will be rewarded with a bowl of fat meat. If you can't win it back, then you won't have to eat it for dinner today. You will give it to me." I'll go to the village and hold the whistle!"
“Yes!” More than a dozen guardsmen roared in unison in response to their commander.
Tang Dao, who has been in the military camp for more than ten years, knew that they were confident enough without looking at their firm eyes and puffed-up chests. Just by listening to their voices, Tang Dao knew that they were confident enough.
That is the confidence brought by having experienced the battlefield.
Tang Dao has every reason to believe that the brutal battles these elite troops have experienced will never be inferior to those of his soldiers.
However, they are elites, so why are the soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment not elites?
Seeing that the commanders of the 49th Army had issued victory orders to their subordinates, Tang Dao smiled and turned his gaze to the guard squad following him, which was the original squad of Leng Feng's company.
Guard Class 1 is Leng Feng's sharp knife class. The squad leader and squad deputy are all veterans who have experienced the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. Its precision shooters, machine gunners and grenade launchers are also drawn from veterans of the 67th Army. After arriving, all the military ranks were non-commissioned officers, and the remaining spearmen were also selected from the Songjiang Security Regiment.
The Songjiang Security Group was not popular before the Songjiang War, but even if it is a pig, if it wants to survive after experiencing the continuous war, it must become a pig that can run fast and hide well, let alone these 3,000 people. The number of soldiers has been reduced to 500 security guards.
No matter how bad the marksmanship is, they have to be accurate on the battlefield where they are constantly on the verge of life and death. If they are not accurate, they will all die.
The marksmanship honed by the shadow of death on the battlefield, in Tang Dao's opinion, far surpasses that of the training ground!
The stray bullets flying around, the shrapnel with no traces, the splashing soil, the miserable screams of his comrades before they died, and even the broken limbs falling in front of me, I was in a **** that was extremely depressing. A true warrior is the one who can still shoot precise bullets at the enemy in his psychological mode.
His soldiers are this kind of soldiers!
In the Battle of Qinglong Ridge, Leng Feng's company had proven this. As a sharp knife squad, at least 50 Japanese infantry bodies were left behind in front of each platoon and squad.
That alone may not mean much. After all, a country has superior terrain, solid trenches, and continuous firepower such as submachine guns and shell guns.
The Japanese infantry relied on the tactic of "after the artillery blasted the infantry, and after the infantry charged the artillery bombardment", as long as there was no heavy artillery bombardment of the Chinese trenches, the faster and more determined the charge would be, the more difficult it would be in front of the Leng Feng Company, who had a tough enough mentality. Head-Giving Contest!
However, according to the records of the quartermaster stationed in the first company, one platoon and one squad killed as many as 7 Japanese soldiers in long-range fire from both sides 200 meters away, while only 2 of them were injured.
This record is incredible.
That almost means that in terms of shooting alone, the level of the squad can already match that of the Japanese infantry who are good at shooting, although they still take advantage of their geographical advantages.
So, although they are now the same as the soldiers of the 49th Army's guard squad, at least half of them have flower traps on their chests, in fact, they were the purest infantry a few days ago.
Rifles are their main business!
This infantry regiment commander who was a guard battalion commander may have used his own shortcomings against the strengths of others.
Tang Dao thought for a while, but finally did not want to take advantage of this person, so he smiled and said: "To be honest with the commander, my guard company was reorganized from the first company under my command during the expansion a few days ago. From the Jiaxing front line to the Guangde battlefield, they are all infantry fighting on the front line!"
"Oh?" Colonel Gu's brows furrowed when he heard what Tang Dao said, without any fear on his face. "It turns out that they are actually the most elite infantrymen under Commander Tang, and Gu is more enlightened. Commander Tang, please rest assured that these soldiers under my command are all from the most heroic troops on the battlefield, and they will never let the four soldiers down." The brothers in the troupe saw the joke!”
Although this man also showed kindness to Tang Dao's uprightness, as a former division-level security battalion commander, he also had some arrogance. No matter what, he was not allowed to flinch in the slightest.
What's more, as the commander of the infantry regiment who took office only two months ago, when he rebuilt the guard company that had lost most of its lives because of the charge with the previous regiment commander, he also drew elite infantry from each company to form an army that had fought hundreds of battles.
He has as much confidence in his soldiers as in Tang Dao.
“Then it's done, that's it,” Tang Dao nodded.
This person has said this, and he must stick with him to the end no matter what he says.
Turning his head to look at the row of guards standing upright behind him, Tang Dao also lectured: "Brothers, if you can't be first or second, remember to get third for me. 20 yuan is a lot of pigs. If you win, For the money of the leader, all of us here will get extra food tonight!”
“Yes!” The whole squad of guards also stood at attention and said yes!
The members of the 49th Army were all stunned!
Good guy, who in the military camp doesn't want to be first? But this man actually inspired his subordinates to take third place bravely.
Perhaps only Colonel Gu, whose eyes narrowed slightly, could hear Tang Daoyong's hidden confidence after finishing third.
No one can say that he can definitely win the third place. It is simply more difficult than fighting for the first place.
