The biggest difference between rifles and submachine guns is their range. The best range for rifles is usually between 200 meters and 400 meters, while the best range for submachine guns is usually within 200 meters.
Compared with rifles, the advantage of submachine guns is that they can fire continuously. As long as the magazine is not empty, you can keep firing while holding the squad. It has a firepower advantage that rifles do not have.
The advantage of a rifle over a submachine gun lies in its range and power. If the advantage of continuous fire is not taken into account, then the performance of the rifle is undoubtedly superior to that of the submachine gun in all aspects.
In fact, it is doubtful how effective this continuous firepower is. Whether it is a rifle or a submachine gun, as long as it is hit, it will basically lose its combat effectiveness. The difference between being hit by one shot and being hit by two shots is not big.
Tang Jiading had always been very proud of the portable machine guns equipped by the Northeastern Army. Just like Duan Zhiquan's only unit equipped with steel helmets, this was a treatment only available to the most elite troops.
But now that Tang Jiading was shocked when he saw the rifles in the hands of these precision shooters in Lanfang that could fire continuously.
Tang Jiading really couldn't understand why it was clearly a rifle but there was no need to pull the bolt to load the bullet.
When shooting with a rifle, a very serious problem is that every time a shot is fired, the bolt must be pulled to load the bullet. This will affect the consistency of the soldier's shooting action, and it will also delay the fighter's opportunity because of the delay.
What if the rifle could be changed without pulling the bolt?
To be honest, Tang Jiading had never imagined this problem before.
With such doubts, Tang Jiading raised his own questions when meeting McTavish.
The weapons we equip are all designed and manufactured by Lanfang ourselves, and the rifles are of course the same. As for why you don't need to pull the bolt, I don't know. I guess it will take an engineer to answer you. McTavish was vague.
McTavish is an action officer and not a scientific researcher, so he certainly cannot give an answer that satisfies Tang Jiading.
Even if he knew the answer, McTavish would not tell Tang Jiading. Lan Fang still attached great importance to confidentiality laws.
MacTavish was not in a good mood at this time, because this attack was completely a performance for precision shooters. MacTavish did not even fire a shot, and the battle was over, which made MacTavish feel a little unhappy.
Of course, this is just one point. For MacTavish, the weaker the combat effectiveness of the southern military government's troops, the better, which means that it will be easier for MacTavish and the others to complete their mission.
Attacking a checkpoint or something is just a helper. Finding Huang Fugui and bringing him out is McTavish's real mission. This must be kept in mind.
Can I take a look at your rifle? Tang Jiading still refuses to give up.
No, this is the guy I eat with, and for now, just like my wife, I can let you see McTavish's outright rejection at will.
The Northeast Army probably does not have anything like a confidentiality law, so Tang Jiading has no awareness of confidentiality at all, so he made such a request. Of course, this may also be Tang Jiading deliberately pretending to be stupid. Let's see, he doesn't know how to do it anyway.
Drop a piece of meat.
No matter what Tang Jiading's starting point was, McTavish would not give his rifle to Tang Jiading. This was a taboo in the military. Even though McTavish was a Catholic, he was also taboo on this.
Find a few people to come out and continue to set up the jam here instead of those people. Rommel changed the subject. This desert fox is indeed cunning and cunning.
Tang Jiading was so convinced that he immediately forgot about McTavish's rifle and turned around to find someone.
It’s okay if you don’t forget it. MacTavish came back to get his backpack. Now he has already put on his backpack and continues to set off. It’s a waste to see that everyone is gone.
Arriving at the checkpoint of the southern military government, Tang Jiading was shocked again.
There were about fifteen or six soldiers of the southern military government on the entire checkpoint. They had all been shot dead and their bodies were scattered everywhere.
It can be seen from the location of the shot that almost all of them were killed with one shot. Only a few were shot in the neck or heart, and most were shot in the head.
This kind of filament is extremely miserable. Many of them have their heads exploded directly, and red and white flow all over the floor. Their original appearance cannot be seen at all.
Especially on the two Lewis machine gun positions, the machine gun shooter's hand was still on the trigger, but not even a bullet was fired. It was really a bit frustrating to die.
In fact, this is fine, at least it will be a painless death.
What surprised Tang Jiading even more was the integrity of the equipment of the southern military government soldiers. From the perspective of the placement of the corpses, Lanfang soldiers had checked and confirmed that every enemy was killed before stopping the evacuation.
It can be seen that the Lanfang soldiers were relatively careless in cleaning the battlefield. They basically had no awareness of body searches and did not inflict any more insults on the deceased.
This is actually a bit of a compliment to McTavish and the others. Tang Jiading has never seen the ferocity of Lanfang soldiers when they fought with foreign troops. They all wanted to open their mouths to see if they had gold teeth. What kind of respect should they have for the dead?
It's just a joke.
The soldiers of the Republic of China were still very pitiful. Most of them had nothing but weapons. Even if McTavish and the others searched extensively, they probably wouldn't be able to find much oil or water.
This was the main reason why McTavish and the others gave up the search.
The treatment of the 1st Lanfang Royal Brigade is still very good. Not only do the soldiers earn a lot of money, they still have no problem satisfying themselves and supporting their families. The logistics department of Lanfang Military Headquarters is not stingy, and the supply of various materials has always been good.
You can get whatever you want, so the soldiers in the first brigade don't have much regard for the small money.
One detail can prove Lanfang's abundance of supplies. Among the troops that went to Beijing to perform the mission this time, among all the Northeast Army soldiers who numbered 100, only Tang Jiading had a pocket watch, while all 36 Lanfang commando members had
Wearing a watch, that speaks volumes.
After a brief interlude, McTavish and the others continued to set off. This time they were not marching in formation with backpacks on their backs, but sent out vanguards, or vanguards in disguise.
There had been a battle here just now, so it would be reasonable if there were a few wounded, so five or six commandos wearing the uniforms of soldiers from the southern military government began to play the role of wounded soldiers, not only wearing bandages but also carrying stretchers.
The defeated troops looked like they were defeated.
As the captain, McTavish still has privileges. He lay on the stretcher majestically and hummed from time to time. He was really addicted to the performance.
It would be easier if they were disguised. Although the speed of these wounded soldiers carrying the stretchers seemed a bit abnormal, no one probably noticed these details. Even if they did, it would be normal. Those who can be carried on stretchers are probably injured.
It's not light. This is fighting for time with the God of Death. It's normal to go faster.
Since then, the speed has greatly accelerated. When Tang Jiading and the others even passed another southern military government checkpoint, they only saw five or six corpses on the ground. They didn't even hear a gunshot, and they didn't know that McTavish and the others
How is it done?
Such a commando brought more curiosity to Tang Jiading, and this curiosity was slowly changing to awe.
How should I put it? These people cannot be judged by ordinary people's eyes. They are not human beings at all. It is more appropriate to describe them as super human beings. Rommel explained Tang Jiading's doubts.
There is no concept of superman yet, but it does not prevent people from understanding the meaning of superhuman beings. Rommel's ability to say such words can be regarded as recognition of the Lanfang Commando.
Our requirements and standards are not low, and everyone is carefully selected. Why can't we practice like that? Tang Jiading is convinced now.
It has been a full seven hours since we left Dawu. Calculating the distance, we should have walked more than 40 kilometers. This area is a hilly area and the road conditions are good or bad. It is precisely because of the speed of the Lanfang Commando that Tang Jiading was driven
The people also gritted their teeth and kept up.
Soldiers bleed but not shed tears. It is more difficult to make them admit that they are inferior to others than to kill them. Therefore, although Tang Jiading's people are close to physical exhaustion, they are still struggling to hold on.
Relatively speaking, the Lanfang commando was much more relaxed. They were not very arrogant and just immersed themselves in the journey. Their breathing rate was steady and their strides were constant. There was not much difference from when they first set off in the morning.
Tang Jiading's people were a bit out of control. Many of the soldiers' equipment was already crooked, and their walking was not as strong as in the morning. There were even a few stragglers, which made Tang Jiading's face really difficult.
Almost every week, they will conduct such training, a forced march of about a hundred kilometers, then engage in a medium-intensity battle, and then return to the army over the mountains without carrying any supplies. This is for them
It's normal. If it was the Royal First Brigade, I guess it would be a 150-kilometer forced march. Rommel said it in a leisurely manner. It seems that this is someone who trains frequently. At least he can keep up with the team and looks quite relaxed.
Hey, Colonel, your information was from three months ago. We are all 200 kilometers away now. There are commandos nearby, and they will update the information with a smile right away.
Is it a blessing to have a 200-kilometer journey? Tang Jiading was really puzzled when he thought of the dozen or so cars of the commando team.
Hehe, I don’t know if I’m looking for trouble. Anyway, I’ve gotten used to it over time. At least I won’t fall in love in this situation and make people look down on me. The commando soldier answered quite proudly.
This answer is really a slap in the face, the subtext is: we really look down on you now.
Tang Jiading looked at the Lanfang Commando, who looked as usual and walked briskly, and then looked at the Northeastern Army, who looked earth-colored and walked briskly, and could only sigh.
There is no way, this is the fact, and it is natural to be looked down upon.
It’s just that I really can’t reconcile myself to this.
