The Bobosa or Popod equipped with ammunition is too heavy and does not have a foldable butt. Yang Mingzhi remembers clearly that the previous Balzen reconnaissance battalion preferred the captured German MP8 or MP40.
, for two reasons: it is lightweight and easy to replenish ammunition.
However, regular troops still like Bobosha with ammunition. The reason is also very simple. When a blockade or ambush occurs, all soldiers hope that their weapons and ammunition will be sufficient and the firepower strong.
.
But after all, submachine guns have the limitations of the times. The era of their use in field battles is soon over, and the era of firing full-power ammunition rifles is gradually coming to an end. From now on, the era of assault rifles will
The time has come.
It was not born inevitably as scheduled, but countless soldiers used their lives to verify which weapon was the most cost-effective on the battlefield.
The price is indeed high, but the development of military weapons is accompanied by horrific killings.
Just like more than 20 years ago, British soldiers generally believed that sharpshooters with perfect shots were the most efficient killing machines. As a result, a British and French army charged in Verdun that day and was killed by a German heavy machine.
Sixty thousand people were shot to death.
The reason for this is that the German army deployed a large number of Maxim machine guns on the battlefield. Each squad operated one. Thousands of machine guns fired tens of millions of rounds in a short period of time. Evenly divided, each British and French soldier
There are more than 500 rounds. The machine gun fires full-power heavy machine gun bullets. As long as one hit, the soldier will either be killed or severely disabled. In the no-man's land created by machine guns and cannons, injured people will just wait to die slowly!
The Maxim was still too heavy. Although general-purpose rifles were widely used in Germany, they still fired heavy machine gun bullets and still had a strong excess of firepower.
The troops sent by the Soviet army to fight street battles can have five submachine guns in a squad. Narrow environments require super firepower. Submachine guns can do it, but the farther away they are, the accuracy is lost, and the intimidation is lost.
No strength left.
If every soldier is a machine gunner and has strong firepower at close range, but can still ensure a relatively accurate hit rate from a long distance, then a compromise firearm is needed.
In two days, Yang Mingzhi drew ten pages on the blank pages of his notebook.
The firearm sample he painted was the AKM developed by the old man from this plane.
Yang Mingzhi doesn’t believe that the Soviet Union can quickly produce small-caliber bullets now, and even if it does, the military can instantly accept warheads of less than 6 mm? No! They are all superstitious.
7.6mm old guy.
The bolt mechanism and gas guide structure of the AK gun family are all the same, and the bullets used are universal.
It has a basic length barrel and a wooden stock, which is used by ordinary combat infantry.
Cut off the barrel and install a foldable stock, which is used by scouts, tank soldiers, etc.
The barrel is extended, a bipod is installed on the front section, and magazines or bullets can be used. This is a squad machine gun.
"When I arrive in Novosibirsk, these three weapons should be developed as priority projects."
He has completed the blueprints of the first two firearms and is working hard to outline the squad machine gun. He estimates that the current Soviet gun-making technology can produce a particularly heat-resistant barrel? It is better not to retaliate.
I really hope that some heat sinks can be painted on the barrel.
He gently put down his notebook, his face was solemn, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yang Tao turned her face slightly and asked in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong with you? It's very hot?"
"It's nothing, just a little nervous."
"Why are you nervous? The train runs so steadily. Why are you nervous?"
"Well, your husband and I should...should be making history again."
"What? You?!" She threw a third of the chocolate on the table and came over energetically: "What the hell is that?"
"They are some firearms. I finally finished the basic sketch, and it's in this notebook!" Yang Mingzhi was inevitably a little excited when he was excited. His voice was much louder, causing Yang Tao to get excited.
move.
He placed the notebook in front of his wife and said proudly: "Look at these pictures. When we get to those arsenals, I will order the workers to make them like this. Soon, a brand-new weapon will be equipped with the army."
, can you imagine what that scene is like?”
"What kind of scene?" Yang Tao wrinkled her forehead instantly for no other reason than that she couldn't understand the craft drawings and knew nothing about the symbols on them. "Brother... I, I can't understand this picture. But look at it.
Your paintings and the appearance of firearms are really beautiful."
"Ah, I forgot that I didn't teach you this. Now think about it, a gun with a shorter barrel than the SVT40, lighter weight, a magazine that holds thirty rounds of special bullets, and a smaller recoil. What do you think?
"
Having said that, Yang Tao, who is very sensitive to combat, immediately understood: "Oh! Then, wouldn't every soldier want to be like a paratrooper? No, they are even more powerful than the paratroopers."
"Yes, think about it, Tepunov and the others are all elites equipped with SVT40. The new weapon is more powerful than it. The paratroopers are no longer the paratroopers they are now, but more powerful beings. Listen, this
A notebook is a treasure. Now, I really want to get on the plane in Chelyabinsk and fly directly to my destination."
Yang Mingzhi shrugged and closed his notebook. The wife in front of him looked extremely adoring. What man wouldn't be moved and proud of her?
The couple spoke in Chinese the whole time, and they didn't pay attention to the fact that the wall between them had ears.
The two men appointed by Beria escorted the entire journey. The surveillance of General Berekov by these two men was a major task. Of course Yang Mingzhi knew this, but he would never have imagined that Felyudov's
To be active is to provide cover for the silent Castelliura.
As the saying goes, as long as you don't talk so much, it will be difficult for others to understand you.
Castelura basically understands and speaks Chinese, but he presents himself as a deep, melancholic and reliable person.
The luxury carriage is not large, and the wooden compartment walls have almost no sound insulation effect.
When Yang Mingzhi and his wife were talking in the carriage, Castelura naturally returned to his box, put his ear against the wooden wall, and wrote in his notebook.
On this day, he finally heard the big news. It seemed that General Berekov completed the design of the new gun on this military train?
He then took a look at the lobby of the luxury carriage and whispered to Filudov who had gotten a handful of sunflower seeds from nowhere and was eating melon seeds like a rat, explaining all this in a low voice.
"The general's notebook contains the secrets of the new weapons. I think we should learn about it quickly."
"This matter...this...should we take it over quietly? This matter is very difficult."
"Even if it is difficult, we must do it. We need any intelligence that will benefit the country."
"Then you might as well ask him directly. I don't understand Chinese characters, and I'm sure that the general's notebooks are almost full of Chinese characters. Our biggest task is to protect him. If the general learns that we stole him
Notebook, we... No! It's not just us, he will be very disappointed with our superiors."
"So you don't want to do anything?"
"Yes! Besides, you can guarantee that after you get the notebook, you can fully understand those strange words. Dear comrade, there are not many people in Lubyanka who understand Chinese characters, and you are just one of them.
Whichever is higher, please evaluate yourself, are you sure you can do it?"
"This..." Castelliola thought for a while and finally said: "Indeed, I don't understand some Chinese characters. They are simply ancient hieroglyphs! But we have a lot of time to go back and analyze it.
, we got the notebook and copied it exactly. Think about it, if we get the blueprints, maybe the new weapons can be made in the factories in Tula or Podolsk. You and I will be the country
Heroes, think about our future."
After hearing this, Feryudov suddenly became energetic. Apparently whispering in the luxury carriage was out of place, so he dragged Kastliura directly to the sleeper carriage of the ordinary soldiers to smoke out.
In the name of cigarettes, they continued to whisper.
…
Someone was planning his own notebook. Yang Mingzhi didn't know about it and didn't care about it. He kept telling his wife that the simple drawings in the notebook were of great significance. In fact, they were just sketches.
Picture. Through drawing, Yang Mingzhi has already sorted out his ideas in his mind. As long as he is given a piece of white paper, a ruler, a compass and a pencil, he can start immediately and draw the most standard process drawings.
The wife finally finished chewing the hard piece of chocolate. According to her description, it was indeed delicious, but it was very chewy. "Maybe if you bought me a lot, I would not be able to control myself, and eventually
The back teeth are also ground flat.”
Yang Mingzhi felt more and more that his wife was getting fatter. It had been more than ten days since she left the swamp, and a lot had happened in that not-so-long time. She also ate a lot of high-calorie and high-protein foods.
The fetus must be growing vigorously, and as a mother, her already round face will become even rounder.
After the excitement just now, Carambola lay down on his side and took a nap again.
"You look like this. You eat when you're full, you go to bed, and you wake up and continue to eat. It's hard not to get fat. Anyway, your life was too hard in the past."
Yang Mingzhi also lay down and covered himself with a blanket to take a nap. Suddenly, the closed door was lightly knocked on.
The conditioned reflex of being a soldier made him sit up suddenly.
"Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"It's me! Comrade General, Semyonov."
"Ah, it's Comrade Conductor, what's the matter? We're taking a rest."
"There is one thing I think I need to tell you. We are about to reach the mountainous area, which is the Ural Mountains. After passing the mountainous area, we will reach Asia."
"Oh yeah!"
Yang Mingzhi quickly moved the wooden table aside. He put his face close to the window and saw the appearance of mountains in the distance, with dark green mountains suddenly appearing on the horizon.
Yang Tao was also awakened by the commotion. She rubbed her eyes and saw her husband actually trying to open the car window.
"Oh! Brother, you are so cold, are you cold?"
"My dear, wrap yourself up in a blanket and come over to see the mountains."
The windows of all sleeper carriages can only be opened halfway. As the windows are opened, cold wind pours in instantly.
Yang Mingzhi didn't care anymore. He just put his head out and saw the army rushing towards the mountain. He could already see the details of the mountain clearly and couldn't help but let out an excited roar.
"Please close the window. It doesn't matter if my face is cold, but it won't be good if the child gets cold again."
"Okay." Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to quickly close the window and face his wife's displeased face.
"You're serious, what's so good about mountains? Aren't there mountains everywhere in our hometown?"
"Really?" Yang Mingzhi put his hand over his wife's smiling face: "Indeed, your face is very cold."
"It's not all your fault. It's you too. What's so strange about mountains."
"This mountain is different. It is the Ural Mountains. Do you know what it means to have passed this mountainous area?"
"What is it?"
"It's Asia. The German army is attacking the Soviet Union crazily, hoping to reach here. The enemy is eager to reach Asia so that he can join forces with the little devils. If this comes true, the whole world will be over.
Now! Now we are back in Asia, and after passing this mountain is the huge Siberia, you have to dress warmly. Soon, the climate will become as cold as back home in the Northeast."
"Hey!" Yang Tao grinned and curled up in a ball, acting like he was trembling in a very artificial way.
"But, if you're cold, just put on that coat. It'll be hot soon and you'll be sweating!"
The military column completely entered the mountainous area. Both sides of the railway track were surrounded by lush pine forests. The place was completely deserted. Apart from the railway tracks, there was no sign of human development. Finally, the military column passed some
It will not stop at small stations in mountainous areas where trains rush past.
Until now, the railway has been a two-way street. When you reach the transportation hub of Chelyabinsk, there is only a one-way street as you continue eastward.
For this reason, there are very few trains coming from the east, so there are not many trains meeting each other. Most of those trains go straight to Kuibyshev. As for what cargo they are pulling, Yang Mingzhi guessed
Maybe it's a new unit.
The military column passed through twelve towns in a row. It entered the mountains at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at seven o'clock in the evening, it quietly entered Asia in darkness.
Chelyabinsk is a large city built near the Ural Mountains. It was originally an important trading node for Tsarist Russia to the east, and is now also a very important industrial town with large-scale smelting.
Steel needs to burn coal, so the entire city has a certain amount of smog. The air condition is naturally much better than that of Ufa.
There are a large tractor factory and a large fertilizer factory in this city. During the war, the tractor factory began to build tanks, and the fertilizer factory also worked part-time in synthetic explosives. The entire city tended to be a military industry.
But in terms of industrial output, it is still not as good as Novosibirsk, the most powerful industrial city in the region.
Finally, when the train arrived in Chelyabinsk, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Yang Mingzhi did not wait until he arrived at a large station. The outdoor lights were very dazzling, and the floating steam also made the lights flicker.
dark.
"It must be extremely cold outside. It's definitely not the right time to go down for some fresh air."
Yang Mingzhi then covered himself with the blanket. It was late at night anyway, so he continued to lie down even if he couldn't sleep. There was nothing more comfortable than a warm nest. Besides, the train finally stopped and there was no vibration.
The feeling is extremely comfortable.
This is the first big city I arrived in after entering Asia... (To be continued)
