Chapter 503 Chi You Nine Soldiers

After the Germans occupied Belgium, they took over the FN company and began to continue to produce the m1935 Browning pistol, renamed it to p640(b), and equipped the German army. On the other hand, the Inglis company in Canada also continued to produce to equip the Commonwealth army. During World War II, the two opposing camps were equipped with the m1935 Browning pistol.

In the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Central Army of China also equipped some Canadian-made m1935, commonly known as Canadian rappers, or 90 pistols.

After World War II, after some detailed adjustments in Belgium, the new m1935 Browning pistol became a recognized world famous gun with the ideal portable gun for elite troops. Bai Chongxi looked something wrong with the new gun, and Dai Anlan had already seen a difference next to him. Although the internal structure of the internal structure such as replacing the original shaft-type shell hook with a sheet-shaped shell hook, the watch ruler was changed to a fixed type, and the buttstock installation slot on the back of the grip was also cancelled, these external changes can still be seen.

Before the War of Resistance Against Japan, the central government ordered thousands of guns for officers. Later, many soldiers of the vanguard army each had an m1935 Browning pistol, which made everyone more familiar with the original gun. They just didn't expect the vanguard army to modify it. In the eyes of everyone, the m1935 was already great. It would be great if the vanguard army could imitate it, let alone modify it.

Many guns are masterpieces of repeated modifications by masters of guns. Personal use of guns may be able to further modify and improve the performance of guns, but if it is produced in large-scale industrial industries, a little bit of changes will involve a lot. The industrial manufacturing of a gun can last for a long time. For example, it is also Browning's masterpiece. Americans used m1911 and used it in the army for more than half a century, but it is basically the same. Many of them can be improved, but there has been no major adjustments.

So there are no major flaws, and there are generally no major adjustments to the original gun.

However, at this time, the production of pistols of the Pioneer Army was just beginning. Because of the guidance of the golden fingers, Meng Xiang directly adopted a new model that also lasted for half a century after World War II.

The Pioneer Army exchanged a batch of No. 4 tanks from the Germans for a production line of m1935 Browning pistols, as well as a group of engineers and technicians who were on-site to serve. With the help of these foreign service teams, the domestic armed forces experts built a new production line to produce these new pistols after exploration and adjustment.

Because I already have a gun, I can just copy it. As for the designer, I pushed it to the head of a pig warrior clone named Bai Ning. Unlike TJ-37 who has created it by himself, this style of using it to plagiarize directly is to let Meng Xiang print a white five-pointed star on the handle of the gun, which is just a commemoration of Browning.

Because of this logo, this pistol is distinguished from the m1935 Browning pistol, and it is called the White Star pistol. It is made with the other two pistols made by the Pioneer Army and has become three dazzling stars in the pistol world.

Another pistol was already in the prototype of the Firearms Research Institute of the Pioneer Army. Because Meng Xiang proposed the concept of the gun family early, the caliber of this gun uses two barrels of 7mm and 9mm. Meng Xiang, who has already acquiesced to the title of White Star, also reserved the name of Black Star for this pistol with extremely strong penetration. Among them, it referenced were 54 pistols and its prototype Soviet TT-33 pistol.

These two pistols have strong penetration, but their performance is not very good. Therefore, the reference object of the new Black Star is not only them, but many guns that Meng Xiang could collect after World War II. The military experts of the Pioneer Army are busy integrating the advantages of each gun and designing a better pistol.

"Not bad!" Everyone took turns to get addicted to guns. They were all veterans of guns, and they suddenly realized the benefits of this gun. They were a little more respectful of the vanguard's armed forces' ability.

"Brother Bo Qin, it's been a long time since we saw you!" Bai Chongxi had already walked to a rifle and held a man's hands.

The man smiled and greeted Yang Jie and others.

Yang Jie also looked at Li Daichen in front of him and sighed.

Li Daichen, who participated in the Wuchang Uprising, was a big bull in the domestic military industry in the past few years. At this time, he had already joined the vanguard army. Why didn’t Yang Jie feel sad? Moreover, he heard that Li Chenggan also came to the vanguard army. Not only the famous second Li, but some other military experts also came to the vanguard army that gave them more opportunities. The vanguard army used the words of fighting on the front line of the War of Resistance, coupled with the generous work treatment and excellent working environment, to become a place where soldiers actively participated.

Yang Jie knew another person standing next to the rifle at this time, Zhao Guocai, whom he had met when he was designing the formal rifle. The one in front of him was not the formal rifle, but another rifle with a scope. Yang Jie knew that this was a sniper rifle. During the last World War, the British had already proposed the sniper, but it was not widely used. However, there were many similar sharpshooters with scopes in the Pioneer Army.

"For sharpshooters?" Bai Chongxi smiled and pointed to the rifle. The sharpshooters of the Pioneer Army are already famous. Many Japanese officers were shot at the head on the battlefield and died inexplicably.

In the first half of the year, in order to prevent the Pioneer Army's sharpshooter from shooting, the Japanese specially issued an order to deal with the helmet. Not only did some helmets remove the conspicuous red stars, but some helmets exposed the steel bottom after they were painted, which was also particularly conspicuous during the day, and they also needed to be treated with mud and other methods.

In the early days of the war, the captain of the military gods' regiment, Iizuka Kiyogoro, who had been promoting the Japanese, was discovered by veterans of the Central Army guarding the Lushan front line because they wore such a helmet with a steel bottom exposed to show off in front of reporters and were shot to death.

For the same reason, those conspicuous helmets have become a good target for Pioneer Army Sharpshooters. The Type 30 helmets cannot stop the direct drill bit of 7.92mm bullets. The headshot method of brain splashing really hurts morale, especially for a country like the Japanese that values ​​brains. Therefore, there is a tactical guidance specifically for Pioneer Army Sharpshooters.

"Yes, it's a sniper rifle!" Li Tiechen turned around and picked up the rifle, and smiled, "7mm caliber, usually equipped with 2.5x or 4x scopes!"

"7mm? Is this used to replace Mauser?" Yang Jie looked at the rifle and suddenly thought of the Mauser kar98k sniper rifle that was being used in the Pioneer Army at this time.

He thought of the 7mm assault rifle he saw before, and vaguely thought of the issue of universal logistics and ammunition, but it was not very clear.

"The effective distance is more than 800 meters? The range of the 38th large cover is farther than this!" Bai Chongxi and Li Huichen's discussion on the side interrupted his thoughts. Bai Chongxi's meaning naturally did not pay much attention to the performance of a 7mm caliber rifle. If it were an assault rifle, relying on the rain of bullets like a submachine gun to fight at close range, then the long-range sniper rifle would be inappropriate to use a smaller caliber. But he did not know that there were sniper rifles with smaller caliber in later generations. The Japanese 38th rifle was just used to test other information.

"This is not an ordinary rifle, it is a special sniper rifle!" Li Daichen felt helpless. At this time, although there were sniper rifles, German Mauser, Soviet Russian Mosinnagan, British Li Enfield, American Chuntian, but there were no formal specially designed sniper rifles, all of which were made of selected rifles and scopes.

Although these non-professional sniper rifles are equally sophisticated, they have some parts that are not suitable for special sniping. It is precisely because Meng Xiang is here that while carrying out the 7mm gun family, he specially designed a 7mm sniper rifle from the beginning.

This is a real domestic product. Li Daichen specialized in mining and metallurgy at Harvard at that time and was very knowledgeable about metal materials. He also participated in the digestion and development of these special alloy steel materials for barrels based on German technology. These were all produced in China's own electric furnace. Even the scope was produced by the glass factory in Qinhuangdao.

He knew that Bai Chongxi might have only seen this sniper rifle, one aspect of the rifle, and ignored the word sniper in front.

As a standard weapon of the Pioneer Army, this sniper rifle is only equipped with a sniper team, while the other organization is to equip assault rifles, and no one uses ordinary click rifles anymore. At this time, he had heard that many troops have begun to replace another 7.92mm assault rifle. However, he has tested that the 7.92 assault rifle has too much recoil, low shooting accuracy, and a bit complicated. It is not as good as the 7.62mm assault rifle. It is even worse than the tj-37 assault rifle made by the Pioneer Army itself.

Similarly, the sniper rifle in his hand is better than Mauser. When he switched to a 6x scope, he was very satisfied with the target deviation of 1,000 meters. As for what Bai Chongxi said about the small caliber, it should be because he didn't know that the Pioneer Army also developed a 12.7mm large-caliber sniper rifle. If he saw that amazingly powerful sniper rifle, he would not be said to be small. However, even the 7mm sniper rifle is no less powerful than Mauser 98k.

"Not bad!" Looking at the bullet holes that penetrated the 3mm bullseye steel plate on the 1,000-meter target, it took a long time before Bai Chongxi spitted these two words on his lips.

Although I used a special bullet for a sniper rifle, when I thought of someone who could be shot at the head a thousand meters away, the people in the observation team also felt a chill on their scalp.

This sniper rifle was also rejected by Zhao Guocai and other major developers. Instead, it was represented by the abbreviation of sniper's pinyin abbreviation "jj" and named jj-37. This naming made Meng Xiang amazed at the depth of Chinese, and could no longer control his association ability, and his toothache.

Fortunately, the observation team did not stay in front of this somewhat fierce sniper rifle for a long time, nor did they too much seek the code name behind it. They were soon attracted by a machine gun next to them.

Everyone could see at once that this was not the heavy rain machine gun of the MG-42 equipped by the Pioneer Army.

"It's also 7 centimeters?" Bai Chongxi looked at Li Chenggan, who was personally directing and fiddling with these guns to quip Fan Zhongdao.

"It's exactly 7 mm." Fan Zhong said lightly.

"Does the Pioneer Army want to establish a weapon system?" Yang Jie, who was accompanying him, suddenly felt enlightened. Assault rifles, sniper rifles, and machine guns are all 7mm calibers, which is different from the mainstream weapon standards of 7.92mm and 7.62mm at this time. Reestablishing a system is undoubtedly a matter of all aspects of the military industry. Everything needs to be recalculated and redesigned, and the difficulty can be imagined.

And the most important thing is the issue of output.

There are almost no 7mm ammunition abroad. Relying solely on domestic production, can it ensure quantity?

Yang Jie didn't have the heart to check the general-purpose machine gun introduced by Li Chenggan, who was surrounded by everyone, and he was just thinking about the difficulty of establishing a weapon system.

He was right in his guess. Meng Xiang was indeed building China's own unique weapon system, which is part of Chi You's plan.

Chiyou's Nine Soldiers. Chiyou's plan is divided into two parts to study.

One is light weapons. In the early stage of Chiyou's plan, only nine individual and squad-level weapons were selected as key development targets.

These are assault rifles, pistols, sniper rifles, and general machine guns. These four types are the main research objects of the 7mm gun family. Of course, pistols and sniper rifles also have other calibers of 9mm and 12.7. The other types are grenade launchers, grenades, 60mm mortars, multi-function bayonets, and submachine guns. These are things that the vanguard army engineers could develop relatively easily at this time.

The military industry research of the Pioneer Army has been underway for more than two years. It has various sample references, various drawings and analysis, and the scientific and technological components are not high, so it is not too difficult to develop.

Just like machine guns, the Pioneer Army's squad machine guns, in addition to the MG-42 and other World War II machine guns, also have various general machine gun references after the war. Such as the US m60, the Soviet rpd, the West German mg3, the Belgian mag, etc., except for the US m60, the others are classic.

Because of the short time, the general-purpose machine gun I took out at this time was just an experimental sample gun. The Pioneer Army had mg-42 in hand, so there was no hurry. The newly developed machine gun was naturally constantly being optimized.

Similarly, there are few reference objects such as grenade launchers, and they have not made any breakthroughs. Grouts developed faster in the 1950s, but the grenade launchers matured in the 1970s. Meng Xiang opened his gold finger in advance, intending to fiddle with this grenade gun that is more convenient than grenade launchers.

However, it is quite difficult, but there are grenades that fire empty packages of bullets, and the grenade gun still needs time to explore.

Just like the research of the 7mm gun family, a 7*41-killing bullet research system has been formed, accompanied by the project of grenades, grenades are also systematically researched. Techniques such as delayed fuses and semi-prefabricated fragmentation have also become key technologies for the pioneer army to study and conquer with those grenades in World War II and m57 grenades after World War II.

It also absorbed the technology after World War II. The 60 mortars, submachine guns, etc. are more difficult, and they all have only one prototype. This time, not many people were shown in front of the observation group.

If it weren't for the observation group this time, Meng Xiang wouldn't have taken out even the previous few things.

Although the purpose of the observation team this time was to find out the details of the vanguard army, Meng Xiang felt the thought of poaching again when he saw the big guys in the observation team.

Bai Chongxi, he didn't expect it. The Guangxi regime could cooperate, but he would never be defeated by the oxtail if he was not as suffocated as Yan Xishan. However, Yang Jie, Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaohui and other advisers and generals were moved by Meng Xiang. During the reception, he showed off the vanguard's own military level and showed them the level of the vanguard's army.

Some people in China have always advocated that the weapons of the vanguard army are all bought and are not produced independently. For example, rootless duckweed, once the supply channels are cut off, it will not last long. Moreover, the arms are controlled by others, and I don’t know what secret agreements to accept to sell the interests of China.

With some people's support, many people actually believed it. Meng Xiang launched this as a fierce counterattack. After absorbing most of the Chinese military talents at this time, the Pioneer Army displayed their research results and proved their strength.

Of course, these light weapons cannot attract the attention of the public, and the research on another part of the heavy weapons in Meng Xiang's Chiyou plan made everyone very interested.

All local arsenals in China can produce light weapons, and the various imported light weapons have similar performance to those of the Japanese. When facing the Japanese, the losses are often caused by artillery.

Because mortars are relatively simple, many can be produced in various parts of China, but apart from mortar artillery, the output of only 98 units in the entire eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan in the original history. As far as the steel production was only 10,000 tonnes, at the very least, it was less than 10,000 tons, it was really helpless.

During the Republic of China period, major manufacturing bureaus across the country built more than 2,000 mountain cannons, mainly 75mm mountain cannons. A total of more than 500 field cannons of 75mm and 88mm were built. Howitzers with a caliber of 100mm were all produced in the Northeast, with more than 300. Even before September 18, 21 150mm howitzers were produced, but they all became the trophies of the *** people.

When the Northeast, Shanxi, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places were occupied by the Japanese, it was no longer easy for the central government close to Chongqing to only maintain the production of light weapons. How can we produce artillery on a large scale?

In this way, when the weapons accumulated in the current period were almost consumed, the Central Army was unable to fight against the Japanese on a large scale. Occasionally, when facing the Japanese, they could only use death to fight the Japanese shells.

This obviously does not include the Pioneer Army. Not to mention the heavy artillery positions that the Pioneer Army has made the Japanese helpless, but rocket launchers can also make the Japanese look disgusted.

However, the price behind this is to burn a lot of money.

A 150mm heavy artillery shell made by Dehuan is about 50 US dollars. Although the cost of rocket launchers is lower than that of artillery, the price of rockets is higher than that of artillery shells. A Katyusha in the blink of an eye gave 16 rounds, and a thousand yuan was gone, which was a typical spending of money. At that time, one or two hundred Katyushas of the vanguard army were launched at every turn, and in a few seconds, more than one hundred thousand dollars disappeared with the smoke of gunpowder and the roar that shook the sky.

The battle results were outstanding, but the cost was even greater. Just like the *** people had already received relevant information at this time, they were also sighing at the money. Not to mention, the Central Army was not paid enough with the shrunken military pay.

Even if the Pioneer Army did not have cheap goods from the base, Meng Xiang would not dare to make such a big deal. The weapons actually produced were actually paid for, making Meng Xiang cautious and cautious. Therefore, the heavy weapon plan part of Chiyou's plan was just a research, not just a development like the nine light weapons.

The base has just been upgraded to Level 3, and it took half a year for researchers to get access to weapons after World War II. Light weapons are adjusted well, but for heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks, there are too many things involved and are not suitable for rushing production.

However, this does not prevent Meng Xiang from using the base products to display the power of the Pioneer Army.

Some of the previous cooperation projects with the Germans involved some secrets and some people also considered the counterfeit company, so the Pioneer Army did not reveal it. However, this time Meng Xiang put out some new weapons. These weapons were intended to be reserved for himself, not to conduct arms transactions.

There was no need for too many, just some selective howitzers and anti-aircraft guns made the observation team feel very moved. Meng Xiang immediately dispatched two armies to arrange an exercise to leave an explanation for the Central Observation Team, which did not catch up with actual combat observation.

"It's wonderful!" Qiu Qingquan looked at the majestic tiger tanks on the exercise field passing by the vibrating table and couldn't help but feel itchy, "It's a pity that I didn't see the actual combat."

"This time the army participating in the battle needs to rest for a while!" Fan Zhong explained. Of course, he didn't say anything in his mind. The Pioneer Army is about to be staged again. However, these things are not convenient to disclose for the time being.

"Practical combat? Didn't the fight start in Europe again?" Xie Chengrui next to him smiled when he was talking.
Chapter completed!
