The rifle body drawn on the drawing is elegant and slender, and the unique lower magazine for ammunition shows a huge difference between it and the current independent regiment standard rifle made in Hanyang.
If all the citizens of the future Republic who have attended university, participated in military training and fired live ammunition were here, they would definitely say in unison the name of this famous gun made by the Republic in the 1950s - the Fifth
Six and a half.
That's right, the standard rifle Liu Lang hopes to equip the independent regiment is exactly the rifle that has been in service the longest in the Republic - the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.
Drawing on 56 and a half of the SKS rifle that was shaped like the red polar bear in World War II, the gun body length is 1025 mm plus the bayonet of 1220 mm. The net weight of the whole gun is 3.75 kg. The magazine capacity of the gun is 10 rounds. The combat rate of fire is
It is 35 to 40 rounds per minute, the effective range is 400 meters, and the range of the ruler can reach more than 1000 meters.
The rate of fire of 51 rounds per second can smash the standard 38-gun rifle with a standard rate of fire of 10 seconds to smithereens. The ten-round magazine is twice that of all manual rifles on the Chinese battlefield with five-round magazines.
It can be said that if this kind of semi-automatic rifle were to face the Japanese invaders' 38-gun rifle, Liu Lang was fully confident that an infantry platoon's instant concentrated barrage coverage could exceed that of an infantry squadron of the Japanese invaders.
Of course, semi-automatic rifles are now very powerful on the Chinese battlefield, but they are actually not that new a technology. The world’s first semi-automatic rifle appeared and was equipped with the Mexican army 26 years ago. It is said to have the most powerful firepower.
American soldiers will also be fully equipped with the future famous M1 Garand rifle two years later, in 1935.
It was this famous rifle that made the Japanese realize on a small island in the Pacific that the 38-meter cover they used to show off their majesty on the Chinese battlefield was not much better than a fire stick.
A price was paid.
However, it takes several years for a gun to be developed and finalized, and the Japanese have no time at all. Liu Lang is not afraid that the Japanese will be taught a lesson by the independent group and then turn around to develop semi-automatic rifles to equip the troops. It will take several years.
After that, Japan's elite veterans had long been exhausted on the Chinese battlefield, and even equipping them with semi-automatic rifles could not change their fate of gradual defeat; secondly, the top brass of the Japanese Army had already proven their stubbornness in the past, and the National Army
The 300,000-strong army of German armorers was equipped with a large number of Thompson submachine guns, and it did not change their determination at all to refuse to include submachine guns, a weapon that consumes a lot of bullets, into the army.
The small island country almost melted its kitchen knives into bullets in order to fight China. The Japanese overestimated their war potential and underestimated the determination of the Chinese to fight to the death in the face of the destruction of their country and their family.
"This gun? Is it a semi-automatic rifle?" Xiong Zhen asked tentatively.
"Yes, it is the semi-automatic rifle that has been installed in Western countries." Liu Lang nodded.
"The firepower is extremely strong, but the length is not long enough, which is not good for stabbing! The Japanese Army's Type 38 rifle is close to 1.7 meters, and the spur is also a full 40 centimeters shorter! Moreover, the bullet consumption is too large, which increases logistics
In terms of burden, I think it is better to imitate the Russian Mosingana rifle. In terms of range and bullet power, it is enough to deal with the Japanese Type 38 rifle." Since Comrade Lao Ye began to consciously become the chief arms designer of the Independence Regiment, he has already
I started to study various types of ordnance materials and became an ordnance expert.
People who do physics can get started with these machines much faster than ordinary people.
"The stabbing is not enough because the firepower is insufficient. If there are guns with more firepower, our soldiers can kill all the enemy soldiers who try to stab on the way to their charge. I want the Japanese aggressors to defeat them according to their military regulations."
Make a note of this, never engage in a hand-to-hand fight with the Chinese Seventh Route Army Independent Regiment, because I have no intention of giving them this opportunity." Liu Lang replied domineeringly.
Including Liu Lang, everyone here did not expect that Liu Lang's words would come true. After being beaten several times by the independent regiment equipped with semi-automatic rifles, the Japanese frontline headquarters would actually attack.
A slightly bizarre military regulation similar to what Liu Lang mentioned.
In fact, the charging Japanese troops with bayonets never rushed within ten meters of the soldiers of the Independence Regiment who had jumped out of the trench and seemed to be stabbing with guns. The semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers of the Independence Regiment seemed to have bullets that would never be fired.
With hundreds of people firing at the same time, the terrifying barrage eclipsed the 96 light machine gun with a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute.
"Captain Liu, semi-automatic rifles are not bad, but why are the Western powers gradually replacing semi-automatic rifles, and why in Asia, the Japanese aggressors and our country still choose single-shot bolt-action rifles as their standard rifles?" said a man with a handsome face.
With his baby fat and his shirt buttoned tightly in the hot weather, Fatty, who looked not only young but also a little shy, mustered up the courage to ask Liu Langdao.
The voice is a little crisp, probably because it hasn't changed yet.
Liu Lang couldn't help but smile when he took a look at the youngest student who came to Guangyuan, whom Xiong Zhen and the others nicknamed "Su Xiaomei". Although Liu Lang didn't know how this 18-year-old little girl would fare in the sky of the Republic in the future.
His name flashed out, but just for the question he asked, this person's vision was not simple. No wonder Comrade Ye, after picking and choosing from dozens of top students, brought him to Guangyuan.
"This is a good question, and it hits the point." Liu Lang smiled, nodded, and glanced at "Su Xiaomei" who was blushing a little encouragingly. "Why do China and Japan have to fall one step behind the Western powers? They don't
Do you want to be enterprising? Obviously not. Because their own resources are poor and they are eyeing the rich resources of Asian countries, the Japanese dream of becoming the Japanese Empire. If our country has to import bullets because of its backwardness in various industries, it chooses to imitate the German Mauser 88 rifle.
If it is a last resort, Japan, which has always regarded our country as its number one target, was misled by their stinginess and our Chinese standard weapons, because they insist that the 38-type rifle is enough to deal with our country's Hanyang-made rifles, and there is no need to go any further.
Equip a semi-automatic rifle that consumes more bullets and resources.
Of course, weak logistics is also an important reason why the military departments of the two countries jointly chose single-shot rifles. Although the Japanese have cars and carriages compared to my country, compared with the Americans and Germans who have a large number of trucks and motorcycles, their logistics The transportation capacity is nothing, and if a war is about to start, our country is vast and the battle lines will be longer and longer, and their logistics, which is not so strong, will definitely be tight. Hehe, the dog-hearted Japanese have been staring at it since the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894. I've been drooling over the precarious China, all the army deployments are based on dealing with our country!"
"But, Liu Tuanzuo, when you chose this rifle, didn't you consider the logistics of the independent regiment?" "Su Xiaomei" although the blush on her face did not dissipate, she still chose to ask bravely.
"Haha, so this involves another issue. As for the caliber of the rifle, I chose 6.5*50 ammunition, which is common with the Japanese 38 rifles and Taisho 11 young machine guns." Liu Lang said with a smile.
