Li Xiao was inside the cabin in Moscow, checking out the latest new equipment.

Pistol! Pistol with magazine.

Using 7.62mm ammunition, the penetration and cutting performance is very good.

Moreover, it inherited the consistent characteristic of Ming army equipment, that is, it is durable.

Firearm malfunction will never occur just because of one or two bumps.

"The automatic mode adopts the barrel short recoil type; the locking mode adopts the barrel swing type, the safety device is a hammer safety, and it is also equipped with an empty magazine and hook mechanism."

Li Lin was holding the latest model of the pistol, named the May 4th-type pistol by his father. He was very satisfied with this new type of pistol!

This thing is much stronger than a revolver, not only can it hold eight bullets.

More importantly, this thing has a magazine structure. It is much more powerful than a revolver when loading ammunition.

Moreover, the receiver of this gun is better closed, and the ammunition has more power.

Li Xiao smiled and picked up a May 4th pistol on the table and dismantled the May 4th pistol into parts without looking at it.

Li Lin's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He was sure that this was his father's first time touching this kind of pistol.

Actually...the pistol was dismantled into parts so easily!

"Dad, you...!"

"Boy, look at what your dad is capable of."

Li Xiao smiled and took off the training hat of a staff officer next to him, and put the hat upside down to cover his eyes.

Then he touched the parts on the table with his hands and quickly assembled the gun.

Li Xiao was full of confidence and assembled the pistol in just a few clicks.

Back then, a lot of effort was put into this.

Although, Li Xiao also thinks this is of little use.

Some people always say that this is to have the ability to assemble firearms even if your eyes are injured.

But Li Xiao thinks this is purely an excuse thought up by these people!

My eyes are blind and I need a pistol to have some use.

However, this does not delay Li Xiao's display.

"Dad...!" At this moment, all the officers in the room were shocked.

No one could have imagined that the commander would show such a hand.

Because they all knew that this batch of weapons had just arrived in the morning.

Moreover, it is the first batch of products, so there is no reason for the commander to know in advance.

But...this hand is loading a pistol...it's really amazing.

"How's it going?" Li Xiao was very proud, picked up the pistol, weighed it twice, opened the treasure box and fired three shots "bang", "bang" and "bang" out of the window.

Three sparrows fell straight from the tree outside the window.

What an amazing marksmanship, he has actually calculated the speed of the sparrow taking off.

At this time, the staff officers in the room were all impressed.

Not everyone can achieve such accuracy after buying a new gun.

"This thing, regardless of its caliber, is worse than a revolver.

But because the receiver is fully enclosed, the gunpowder is even more powerful.

The projectile has high initial velocity and strong penetration.

This is its advantage!

The disadvantage is..., due to structural problems, you need to deal with rotten eggs manually.

With a revolver, you just keep pulling the trigger.

In addition, jamming is also a problem.

However, this pistol can also quickly change magazines.

More importantly, the cost is relatively low.”

Li Xiao glanced at Li Lin with a smile. The May 4th pistol uses a large number of stamped parts. Both the production time and manufacturing cost are much lower than those of revolvers.

"You know? War also requires costs. The lower the cost, the better. This is not much different from doing business."

"No!" Li Lin responded, but he was still thinking in his heart, how could his father be so familiar with this kind of gun.

These words should have been reported by him, the intelligence staff officer.

Li Xiao picked up another shotgun. This thing is also called a troll.

"Haha! Look, this is called the king of melee combat.

It has a caliber of 18.5 mm and an ammunition capacity of ten rounds.

With your small physique, I can kill you with one shot."

Li Xiao held the gun and looked Li Lin up and down.

Even though the muzzle of the gun was pointed upward, Li Lin was also scared all over.

I kept saying in my heart, my biological son is my biological son.

"This kind of gun has been given priority to the Chechen battalion supporting Kursk. They are in good health and do not need to carry pistols.

According to the news coming back from the front line, the actual combat effect is very good." Zhao Liangdong reported from the side.

“Chechen camp?

The one who even slaps a dog twice in the face?

How did they fight in Kursk?"

When the front line was mentioned, Li Xiao immediately put down the gun in his hand.

Kursk played very hard, which made Li Xiao feel helpless.

First, the equipment of the Israelis is comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty. Second, the Israelis' fighting will and fighting qualities are second only to the Prussian army and the French army.

The Russian army is no match for them.

"The Israelis once occupied three-quarters of Kursk, and the Mongolian battalion held its position for three days.

The whole battalion suffered all casualties, including the battalion commander. After the battalion commander was injured and evacuated the position, the first company commander Hugjiril took over the command.

When the Chechen battalion entered their position, Hugjiril suffered eight fractures in his body and could no longer move."

Li Lin couldn't help but be moved while reading the battle report!

The Mongolian battalion commander named Bayan even drank with him in Moscow.

The Mongolian Battalion is the trump card of the Ninth Division, and can be said to be the number one main force.

Among the divisions prefixed with the name of Ming Dynasty, this is a unit whose combat effectiveness is second only to the Ming Dynasty Field Division.

But such a leading force was actually beaten to the death of the entire battalion.

If the Chechen battalion had not arrived at the battlefield twenty minutes early, the entire army might have been destroyed.

Li Xiao looked out the window. The Russian winter had passed. The spring breeze in March was blowing, and spring flowers were blooming in Moscow.

There is already muddy water on the ground outside.

Not to mention in the wild, even on the dirt roads on the outskirts of Moscow, trucks have become stuck in mud puddles and cannot move.

Kursk, which is further south than Moscow, has a temperature several degrees higher than Moscow.

The situation there will only be worse than here.

Li Xiao is more worried about Kharkov, because the temperature there is definitely higher than that in Kursk.

What's more important is that the large and small rivers distributed in Russia will also enter the spring flood season as the ice and snow melt.

In three days, a new round of the Kharkov Battle will be launched.

Poor traffic conditions will greatly hinder the Ming army's offensive.

"The Mongolian battalion fought well. Let the original battalion commander and Hugjiril recover from their injuries.

To rebuild the Mongolian camp, they cannot be missing.

Send the Japanese and Korean engineering divisions to Ao Ye and Man Ye respectively. No matter what method they adopt, they must ensure that the road for the attacking troops is clear."

"Promise!" Zhao Liangdong, the military staff officer, stood at attention and promised.

"Telegram to the Ninth Division to defend Kursk no matter what, and also to drag the Israelis in Kursk.

If the battle is successful, I will count them as the first contributors."

Li Xiao knew that the first condition now was whether Kursk could be defended.

If Kursk cannot be defended, the Ming army will collapse.

The next places to fall will be Omyur and Voronezh.

There will be a huge gap in the central front of the Ming army, which will directly threaten the flanks of the attacking troops.

The Israelis could even penetrate directly behind the attacking troops and cut off Ao Ye and Man Ye's supply lines.

This is a matter of life and death. Kursk must be defended. If Kursk cannot be defended, the Ming army's front will have to retreat by at least two hundred kilometers.

This was a huge blow to the morale of the Ming army!

Since the beginning of the war, the Ming army has won every battle.

Although it was a miserable victory at Tsaritsyn, it was still considered a victory.

What's going on with this big step of retreat?
