This time, Liu Lang won't bother to build it anymore.
Just buy them directly, buy them off-the-shelf, and buy the best squad-fire light machine guns and submachine guns of this era. In this world, nothing that can be solved with money is a big problem.
Liu Tuanzuo, who was wealthy and waving banknotes, turned his attention to the West. Western countries that experienced the baptism of World War I and had stronger industrial strength have always stood at the pinnacle of the planet in terms of weapons design.
Although the war has not yet begun, Liu Lang, who is familiar with this period of history, is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of most of the light weapons that have been installed in various countries in this time and space. The MG42 machine gun that has been developed by the independent group in advance is undoubtedly the most awesome machine gun of this era. There is no
one.
Unfortunately, without the logistics capabilities of the Third Reich, not everyone would dare to use the MG42. Just like the bald man, when he learned about the exaggerated firepower of the MG42, he drooled at first, but after learning about its bullet consumption, his face immediately changed.
I won’t even mention this gun.
The rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute was certainly fierce, but even the machine gunners of the Third Reich never dared to pull the trigger for two seconds without letting go. In those two seconds, nearly forty rounds of ammunition were gone.
There are fourteen people in an infantry squad. The squad leader and deputy squad leader must carry pistols, submachine guns and bullets and cannot provide material assistance. A sergeant's precision shooter needs to carry enough ammunition of his own. The machine gunner has to withstand a machine gun weighing more than ten kilograms. The deputy shooter can only
Carrying 500 rounds of ammunition, the remaining seven infantrymen can only carry up to 300 rounds of ammunition excluding personal equipment, leaving 200 rounds for their own use. What can be provided to the machine gun team is 700 rounds, 1200 rounds of ammunition, and for a rate of fire of 1200 rounds
For every MG42, no matter how much you save on fighting, it will become a pile of scrap metal after half an hour of fighting. In fierce battles, the infantry squads on the front line rarely get resupply of ammunition in one battle.
Chance.
Therefore, Liu Lang could only reluctantly give up the MG42 as the squad light machine gun again. He set his sights on northern China. The current main squad light machine gun of the fighting nation, the Deggarev light machine gun, is also commonly known as the DP.
The prototype of the 56th light machine gun.
Although the DP light machine gun, which has been equipped with the Red Polar Bear Combat Troops since 1927, is not the most outstanding light machine gun in World War II, the weight of the gun body, including the gun frame and the magazine, is up to 11 kilograms. Even the quality itself is not very good to let the others
Troops from all over the world look down upon it at all, but as tens of millions of red combat troops equipped with up to 700,000 machine guns, its effective range is 800 meters and the maximum range is 3,000 meters. It can even be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun, but it is directly catching up with the MG42, a 47-round machine gun.
The capacity of the magazine is unparalleled by most of the main light machine guns in Western countries, which mainly use 20-round and 30-round magazines. The theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute. The rate of fire is definitely an instant kill of the Taisho Eleven currently used by China and Japan.
The young machine gun and the Czech-made ZB-26 have an effective range of 800 meters. Liu Lang even thought that he could add a scope to this machine gun and use it as a continuous-fire sniper rifle.
Moreover, the entire machine gun structure is very simple, with only 65 parts, making it very easy to modify and imitate. Liu Lang decided to purchase this machine gun as the main machine gun for the squad of the independent regiment. However, the machine gun shooter will suffer some losses in the future.
Marching while carrying a machine gun that weighed 9 kilograms without the tripod and bullet tray, the assistant shooter carried 500 rounds of ammunition and a 2 kilogram tripod and bullet tray, which was not a small load.
As for the submachine gun, Liu Lang's choice was even more surprising. He did not choose the MP34 currently equipped by the Third Reich, which is the "flower machine" most equipped by the national army. The performance of the MP34 is actually good, with a magazine capacity of 32 rounds and a heavy gun.
4.4 kilograms, with a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute and a range of nearly 200 meters. The Chinese army imported a large number of them because of the fierce war with the Third Reich and because of its excellent performance.
But Liu Lang knew that there was another submachine gun that was more powerful than the MP34. Although it is still not well-known, in three years' time, when fighting red polar bears in the ice and snow in winter, this submachine gun would satisfy the confident fighting nation.
After suffering a lot, he re-recognized the role of submachine guns in war. Not only did he invest a lot of energy in the development and production of submachine guns, but he also brought the tactical use of submachine guns to the extreme in the subsequent battle against the Third Reich.
The famous "tank knight" tactic "hangs" five or six soldiers equipped with submachine guns on each tank. Dozens or hundreds of tanks attack the Third Reich positions. Although the infantry exposed to enemy fire suffered heavy casualties,
When the tanks broke through the enemy lines and the surviving soldiers picked up their submachine guns and fired, it was the nightmare of the soldiers of the Third Reich. The rate of fire was as high as 500 rounds per minute, but the drum of the Bobosha submachine gun was as high as 71 bullets.
The soldiers of the fighting nation provided ample bullets.
And if it hadn't been for the Finnish M1931 submachine gun that taught the fighting nation a lesson in the Soviet-Finnish War, one of the most famous submachine guns in World War II, "Bobosa", would not have been equipped with a 71-round drum magazine, because of that,
It was originally a patent belonging to the Finnish Somi submachine gun.
That’s right, the strongest feature of the Finnish Somi 1931 submachine gun, which was designed and manufactured based on the Czech M26 submachine gun and was finalized in 1931 and began to be equipped with the Finnish army, is not its effective range of 200 to 300 meters, nor its high rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute.
It is not the highest shooting accuracy among submachine guns in the entire World War II, but its most powerful ammunition supply method is a 71-round drum, which is even larger than the DP light machine gun.
If fired at full speed, in five seconds, this submachine gun can pour out all the semi-automatic rifle firepower of an infantry squad in the independent regiment. However, the little devil who uses a bolt-action rifle like the 38 Dagai has to concentrate the entire squad of infantry at the same time.
Only fire has such a rate of fire.
Of course, in terms of bullet power, shooting accuracy and range, rifles are much stronger than submachine guns. But, what if it is within the range of a 200-meter submachine gun? It has a 71-round drum and can shoot 100 meters regardless of a single shot.
The Somi 1931 submachine gun, which has an impact point radius of R100 and an accuracy of less than 15 centimeters, can make the rifle unable to lift its head in a confrontation.
The 87-centimeter-long Somi 1931 looks more like a small rifle. Although its designer once claimed that the gun has an effective range of 500 meters, Liu Lang didn't believe it. One shot can shoot.
Can a submachine gun target a target 500 meters away still keep the rifle alive?
But Liu Lang is certain that this kind of submachine gun, with a barrel much longer than ordinary submachine guns, can definitely have an effective range of more than 200 meters. There is a submachine gun with such a short range that can provide uninterrupted firepower that is used as a machine gun in infantry squads.
As additional firepower, Liu Lang believed that any Japanese invaders who wanted to pass through the positions of his soldiers would have to pay a heavy price.
Even, this kind of submachine gun can be inserted with a 35 cm long triangular spur, and the overall length will reach 119 cm. It may be at a disadvantage against the 38-inch cover, but it is still capable of fighting. What's more, after the submachine gun is finished
Before the bullets were fired, how many Japanese soldiers dared to rush forward and fight hand-to-hand at the risk of their lives? A submachine gun with 71 rounds of ammunition could make them doubt their life.
If we have to talk about the shortcomings of the Somi submachine gun, it is that it is a bit too heavy. With the full drum magazine installed, the weight of the entire gun exceeds 6 kilograms. Even if the gun is empty, it is as high as 4.6 kilograms, and the weight even exceeds 3.9 kilograms.
semi-automatic rifle.
However, this is nothing to the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who have been raised for two or three years and are all strong and healthy. They run cross-country for five kilometers with a load of 20 kilograms every three days, and carry a full load of 30 kilometers every ten days.
Armed training is to make them stronger.
No matter in terms of military quality, physical fitness or weapons, Liu Lang wanted to make the Independent Regiment the strongest in China. Only in this way could he lead them to fight the Japanese invaders. That lasted for 8 years
The national war will continue until the death.
Liu Lang handed over the purchase plan of the two guns to Laura. It was not difficult to buy a Finnish submachine gun because the cost was high, and Finnish military factories were still selling their new weapons everywhere. It was just a little troublesome to go to the red polar bear, so Liu Lang said
The silver coin that Nicholas Caesar gave him was given to the little foreign girl. Liu Lang intuitively felt that the bear-like giant man was not as simple as he seemed. No one named Caesar casually. Perhaps,
That guy can help.
As long as submachine guns and light machine guns are purchased in place, in the independent regiment's infantry squad, the squad leader and deputy squad leaders will be equipped with submachine guns and Black Star pistols. By then, the infantry squad's firepower configuration will be 7 infantrymen equipped with 7 semi-automatic rifles, and a sergeant-level precision
The shooter is equipped with a semi-automatic rifle, the two machine gun shooters are equipped with a DP squad light machine gun and two Black Star pistols, the two rocket launchers are equipped with an individual rocket launcher, three rockets and two Black Star pistols, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader are equipped with
Two Somi 1931 submachine guns and two Black Star pistols. A total of 8 semi-automatic rifles, 1 squad light machine gun, one rocket launcher, two submachine guns, and 6 Black Star pistols.
Among them, rifles and light machine guns both use 6.5mm caliber Tomosaka rifle bullets, while submachine guns and Black Star pistols both use 9mm Luger pistol bullets, which makes it easier to replenish bullets.
With an infantry squad with such firepower, Liu Lang has every reason to believe that even if they face a small group of Japs, without the support of artillery from both sides, they can completely crush them with light weapons firepower. If it is scaled up to the platoon level,
An additional firepower squad, an independent infantry platoon with two 60mm mortars and two light machine guns, dared to challenge a Japanese squadron in the field.
Even a Japanese infantry regiment with 3,400 men, 4 mountain guns, 10 infantry guns, and 6 rapid-fire guns was no longer looked down upon by Liu Tuanzuo. The opponent in his eyes was a small Japanese brigade, or even more
.
The Japanese invaders, who have always relied on superior firepower to suppress Chinese soldiers, may be able to find confidence in other Chinese armies, but here in the independent regiment, they will definitely be beaten.
This is an elite army that Liu Lang spent two years earning money in European and American countries to create, an elite army that is armed to the teeth.
A year and a half later, it will be time to test them.
And time always passes surprisingly fast.
