Chapter 30 Inspection
This period of time was really tough for this old guy. Today he inspected the navy and air force non-stop.
Although the navy only has two gunboats, its members have grown to ten squads that take turns training and being on duty. Anyway, there are no combat missions, so they are training desperately.
The current commander of the navy battalion is Zhang Jiwei, Chen Lei is the political commissar, and the chief of staff is William.
The number of cadets in the Air Force has grown to more than 200, and many cadets are already very skilled in flying skills. Haoren was quite satisfied with this and immediately decided to form an Air Force Flying Brigade. He appointed Liu Lei as the captain of the Air Force Flying Brigade and Wang Wei as the political commissar.
, Lu Yuxiao is the deputy captain.
Before leaving the base, Kuang Haibin came to find him.
The first is that the wireless telegraph machine has been successfully trial-produced, and the technical department has passed the acceptance inspection, and mass production has been requested. The second is that some weapons and equipment have met the requirements of the technical department. The commander-in-chief is invited to observe the shooting effect on site, and if satisfied, request approval for mass production.
.
During this period of time, Haoren was almost spinning. No matter how good his body was, he couldn't withstand such a torment. I wanted to call it a day and go home early to rest. I also needed to express condolences to all the beauties, but it seems that it still doesn't work. Damn, so
Trouble is not a sin that people suffer from. In some ways, it is better to live in peaceful times!
After watching the technician's demonstration, Haoren went up to do the operation himself. He was so shocked that all his subordinates dropped their teeth and punched their teeth. We, the commander, know how to do this thing! But this guy kept muttering in his heart: What a crappy thing, and it's ugly.
It's stupid and big. I have no choice but to make do with it. The time and conditions are not there. Once the conditions are ripe and I open my golden finger, this piece of shit will get out of here right away. Pig's feet are not special.
What a thing, what kind of age is this? Standing and talking doesn’t hurt your back. I absolutely despise this guy!
Since wireless telecom machines have been put into mass production, it is inevitable to equip the troops. And the trainees trained in the school are almost trained, so it is time to establish a communications department. This guy might as well appoint Jia Xiaorou as the communications department.
Chief, Confidential Secretary. And ordered relevant departments to establish and improve the structure of the communications department as soon as possible.
Weapon samples include old and new types.
Old models such as the Xihua Type 25 are imitations of the German Mauser M98 rifle.
This rifle was designed by the German gunsmith Peter Paul Mauser (Mauser for short) in 1865. In 1868, the first rifle was patented in the United States.
.This is the world's first modern non-automatic rifle to use metal shell bullets, and it is also the world's most famous rotating bolt-action rifle. It initially fired black powder bullets with a caliber of 11mm. In 1872, the Boer (Africa)
The southern part of the country was adopted and named the 1871 style.
In 1988, the caliber was reduced to 7.92mm and fired smokeless powder bullets. In 1898, it was introduced to the market by the famous Mauser company, so it was called the 1898 model. The gun was strong and durable.
, reliable performance, firing 7.92mmm1898-style bullets. It was the main equipment of the German army before and during World War II, and was sold to many countries in different forms. Some countries also imitated it.
The machine gun uses a later British Bren machine gun, namely the ZB26 of the Czech Brno. The design of the Bren machine gun has several unique features that make its operation very reliable. First, the magazine is located above the gun. This design basically eliminates the problem of bullet jamming.
Secondly, the gun has an adjustable air valve. If you twist the air valve slightly, more explosive gas will enter the gun chamber and push the bolt, allowing it to overcome obstructions such as sludge, gravel, etc., eliminating most malfunctions.
Source. It is very easy to replace the barrel, it only takes 6 seconds. A red-hot barrel is thrown into the water to cool down, then put back in and continue firing, no problem. The Bren machine gun also has a buffer device, which makes the gun
The recoil is much lower than that of a **le rifle. As for accuracy, the Bren machine gun is absolutely top-notch. A well-trained machine gunner can easily shoot a magazine of bullets into the bullseye 500 meters away and hit the target.
It is not difficult to target a target 1,000 meters away. The only shortcoming of this gun is probably the 9 kilogram empty gun weight. In any case, many experts believe that the Bren is the best light machine gun in World War II. This evaluation is basically fair, but the premise is
Germany's mg-42 is not included in the comparison.
New weapons, such as the Xihua 1926 submachine gun. This gun is a patented product and is intended for use by field troops. It will not be mass-produced for the time being.
The new machine gun is the Xihua 1926 machine gun. The prototype is the German mg-42 machine gun. It is also a patented product. It is specially reserved for field troops.
In 1937, the Defense Ordnance Ordnance Department held a public tender for the design of an improved version of the mg34. The winning bidder was Groves Metal Company. Groves was a sheet metal processing company. Their engineers were not proficient in firearms, but they were familiar with them.
The know-how of standardized mass production, so a group of arms amateurs designed the best machine gun in World War II, which is the famous mg42. The mg42 is 122 cm in length, weighs 11.5 kg when empty, and uses a 50-round drum or a 250-round belt.
The muzzle velocity is 710 meters per second, and the effective range can reach 3 kilometers when using a tripod.
The mg42 uses a large number of stamped components. Its structure is simple and its performance is even more reliable than the mg34. In the cold Russian battlefield, the mg42 is one of the few infantry weapons that functions properly. Because the mg42 is an air-cooled machine gun, after firing 300 rounds of bullets continuously
You have to replace the barrel. Groves designed the replacement device to be very simple. Just pull a lever and the barrel will automatically jump out. It only takes a few seconds to replace a barrel. The most important thing is, the cost of mg42
It is only 70% of that of mg34, and the man-hour and material consumption is only 50% of that of mg34. Germany produced a total of 700,000 mg42 machine guns during the war.
The firing rate of the mg42 machine gun is as low as 1,200 rounds per minute and as high as 1,800 rounds. After the machine gun fire rate exceeds 1,000 rounds per minute, the human brain cannot distinguish individual gunshots, so the firing sound of the mg42 is not the "click-click-click" of an ordinary machine gun, but something like
The sound of high-speed rotating chainsaws, and some Allied soldiers described it as the sound of tearing long sheets of linen, all in all, it was extremely sad. It is no wonder that, faced with the firepower of the mg42 machine gun, Allied soldiers had to withstand 20 to 30 rifle bullets per second.
Shooting is indeed a thrilling experience.
The mg42 is recognized by later generations as the best machine gun in World War II, providing unparalleled fire support for the German infantry. After the end of the war, the West German army continued to equip this machine gun, and the model was changed to mg3, which has been installed to this day. mg3 is in the international market
It is very popular on the Internet, and there are more than a dozen countries that install mg3 machine guns.
Then there are infantry guns and mortars. Mortars are great. Infantry guns have many blind spots, and mortars can make up for this shortcoming. They are also light, easy to carry, and highly maneuverable, making them easy to equip with platoons and companies.
, battalion-level grassroots troops. Haoren requested that this weapon be equipped with troops as soon as possible.
