Yang Mingzhi opened his eyes and looked around. What was in front of him was a large desolate open land, and the ground he stepped on was the black soil that can be seen everywhere in Siberia. There were some targets directly in front. Looking at their positions, Yang Mingzhi could estimate,
The farthest target has been set five hundred meters away.
Hitting the bullseye five hundred meters away with a Mosin Nagant? Only people with rich experience and naturally superior eyesight can do it. Of course, they are masters at the shooting range. On the battlefield, due to the complex and changeable environment, they endure the ups and downs.
With its explosive sound, it can also accurately kill enemies five hundred meters away. It can be said that it is an excellent sniper.
Mosin Nagant can completely hit the target one thousand meters away. However, the military camp is not so optimistic. The farthest target is only five hundred meters away.
The farthest target is like this, the nearest one is only fifty meters, and the most commonly used target is the two hundred meter target.
Two hundred meters or one hundred meters, the most intense fierce battles in wilderness battles took place at this distance. Yang Mingzhi estimated that the military camp also came to a set of conclusions based on experience, so there was no plan or plan.
Enough time to train all new recruits into sharpshooters.
In fact, in order to train new recruits to hit the target with perfect accuracy, target practice must be strengthened during training. The Japanese soldiers at the same time were just monsters fed by bullets, but the heavy consumption of elite soldiers also caused the later troops to lose the ability to hit the target with perfect accuracy.
The war raged until the whole world was on fire. The elite divisions of the warring countries were consumed on a large scale in the early stages of the war. The tactical advantages that the soldiers' technical and tactical abilities could bring were very limited. Whoever has strong logistical capabilities will have stronger violent force capabilities.
, will determine the outcome of the war.
The Soviet Union only used a short period of time to train a large group of conscripts to fight. They could withstand a large number of casualties, but the German army could not.
Yang Mingzhi could conclude that the new recruits in the military camp only did shooting range training, and they had no idea of the real battlefield conditions.
Presumably, when he was in the swamp, he opened up a piece of land and concentrated on some simulated battlefield training, and even caused a loss of life. The measures did achieve good results. In future battles, the militiamen who trained in assault training have already experienced it at the training ground.
In the real rain of bullets and real battles, no one is a coward.
"Perhaps I should take the opportunity to teach them some unique training methods?"
Indeed, before the outbreak of the war, the actual combat training of the Soviet army was military exercises. After all, they were exercises, and the exercises also had a bit of acting in them.
Recruit training camps in various places do not conduct any simulated battlefield training at all. Daily running exercises and climbing up and down obstacles are all training for physical fitness and flexibility. Target shooting training also enables soldiers to have the most basic combat capabilities. In addition,
, it’s free fighting or bayonet training where Lao Maozi presses the bottom of the box.
When crossing an obstacle, the preset explosion point around the soldier suddenly exploded. When he was crawling forward, there were machine gun bullets flying overhead. There were no such situations.
After all, the shooting range is right in front of us, and there are some sandbags set up on the flat ground. That is the so-called prostrate shooting point. It seems that the military camp has indeed been prepared in advance.
The firearms were placed on the square table, and Yang Mingzhi summoned the other nine experimenters to gather in front of the table. Behind everyone, including the commander of the military region and his entourage, twenty or thirty people watched attentively, and even the people in the back row simply brought the wooden
Chair, just want to take a look.
"Okay, you are all here. Comrades in the military camp, I am very grateful to you for participating in the experiment of new firearms. I also learned that you are all instructors in the training camp and have experience on the battlefield. Now, I ask you to forget the past for the time being.
experience, because the new gun you saw is a brand new firearm..."
As Yang Mingzhi explained, he dissected an assault rifle into eight parts one by one.
Completely different from the svt40, the new gun is basically made up of several small parts. It has the feeling of children's building blocks. All the parts fit together and finally become a gun.
Without exception, the onlookers were knowledgeable about firearms, especially the commander of the military region, Medvedev. I had witnessed General Berekov’s demolition and robbery performance yesterday, and I still felt amazed when I watched it again today.
German submachine guns are made of all metal. The British used heating ducts to build a bunch of unreliable submachine guns that are also all metal. All metal has huge benefits. A machine processing factory with various lathes can manufacture all the firearms needed.
Parts, not to mention many parts of Berekov's new gun are simply stamped.
Medvedev's task is not only to train new troops, he also often goes to various arsenals in the military region to urge the factories to speed up the production of weapons. Therefore, he also knows a thing or two about the manufacturing of light weapons.
Some parts of Bobosha are stamped, especially the bullets used. The advantage of stamping is high speed and high efficiency. There is no doubt about it. Medvedev is still a little worried about its quality.
Let's talk about Yang Mingzhi's case. His explanation in public made the experimenters sent by the training camp quickly understand the structure of the new gun. As for the subsequent shooting posture, Yang Mingzhi didn't need to worry about it anymore.
After all, the so-called father of the АБ42 assault rifle is the Аk47. It has undergone some improvements and is still very pleasing in appearance.
In that dimension, Kalashnikov's invention of Аk47 did not happen overnight. In addition to the guidance of experts behind it, several research institutions in the Soviet Union that studied automatic weapons had already made a name for themselves. It was only because of Stalin's needs after the war.
The Soviet Union had its own assault rifle, and various institutions used their experience in developing full-power automatic rifles to develop assault rifles.
This time, Yang Mingzhi bypassed the long time consumption of research and development and improvement, and came up with a gratifying finished product in one fell swoop.
Its quality is absolutely high and its appearance is pleasing to the eye. It immediately won the favor of the experimenters at the shooting range.
Just talking about its appearance, without the banana-shaped magazine installed, it does have the charm of SVT40, but its barrel is much shorter, and it looks like a carbine version at first glance. So, how to operate it? Already
it goes without saying.
An experimenter named Semyonov picked up a gun, pulled the butt of the gun against his shoulder, held the butt of the gun with his left hand, and held the handle of the gun with his right hand. He had already tried to insert the magazine into the gun chamber, and the latch clicked crisply.
The chorus is so beautiful.
At this moment, there was no bullet in the magazine. He easily pulled the charging handle to load the bullet, then aimed at the target in the distance, arched his back and pulled the trigger.
"Wow! You are already self-taught without a teacher, so you don't need me to teach you reasonable design postures."
Semyonov smiled honestly: "Dear comrade general, I tell the truth. When I saw this gun, a strong impulse to try affected my body. I have never seen such a beautiful gun. I think
Since it is beautiful, it must have excellent performance. If there were bullets in the magazine just now, the result of me pulling the trigger should be continuous shooting like a light machine gun, right?"
"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi affirmed: "It can shoot wildly like a submachine gun, and you can also adjust the speed to enter semi-automatic mode, just like svt40."
“What a wonderful design!”
"I saw the Patriotic War Medal on your chest. You must have been on the battlefield."
"Yes. I participated in the Battle of Moscow, and my unit suffered heavy casualties. My left ear was also damaged by enemy shells during the battle, but the condition of my right ear was a little better."
"What a pity, but you are indeed a hero."
"You are serious!" Semyonov quickly said in awe: "You are the real hero. I am honored to stand with the heroes of the Soviet Union."
"Well, we are all heroes, and we have a lot in common because we were all soldiers at the grassroots level. I know soldiers very well and I know more about the battles ordinary soldiers will face, so I designed this special rifle
, designed for ordinary soldiers. Wait a moment, I will lead you right here to show others its excellent performance. Before that, we first fill all the magazines with bullets. Remember, each magazine can
Hold thirty rounds."
Medvedev was a little surprised when a general and a sergeant chatted in an approachable manner. Maybe General Berekov is like this. His Eastern introversion and reservedness are always present, and it is indeed a good thing to make friends with such a person.
It was this chat that made Medvedev very interested. "Designed for ordinary soldiers? Should I try it myself?"
This thought was suppressed for the time being, but Medvedev still joined in and worked with everyone to press the scattered bullets into the barrel of the gun.
In fact, there is a special arc-shaped mold for loading the magazines of firearms such as Аk47. It is a semicircular mold. The magazine is placed once, and the broken bullets are neatly put into the other side of the mold. Finally, the magazine is pushed on the other side.
Traveling in the mold, all thirty bullets may be inserted into the magazine in two seconds.
Of course, soldiers on the battlefield should just fill their magazines with bullets one by one.
Compressing bullets is something that active duty soldiers are self-taught. The SVT40 is equipped with a large number of detachable magazines. Compressing bullets is the job of soldiers.
The bullets were pressed in one by one, and no one complained about the difficulty of the whole process. Everything was simply effortless.
As for the reason for the ease, the actual structure of the magazine itself is not precise, which has a big advantage. The magazine can tolerate some sand, dust or mud, and it does not affect its use.
For soldiers, maintaining their firearms is a boring non-combat important task. Besides, no stupid soldier wants to see his firearms jam frequently during combat.
A total of twenty magazines were quickly filled, and it was time for the shooting experiment to begin.
"The ammunition is ready, how about we start right away?" Yang Mingzhi asked.
"No, we have to wait some more!"
Medvedev felt that there was obviously plenty of time. As for why those guys were lingering, they would not let go of the pigeons anyway. He would just wait a while, at least, to wait for the reporters from the newspaper. Today I personally touched it.
Assembling the new gun and loading bullets, Medvedev felt that the reporters would definitely be able to write a praising editorial, because at this moment, as the commander of the military region, he could conclude with his military intuition that it was
What a gun!
"Okay, wait a minute." Yang Mingzhi shrugged.
"Then wait a moment, comrade, would you like some black tea?"
"Forget it, you should arrange for my wife first, move her a table and chairs, and provide her with any tea. She must observe the whole process of this experiment."
"Okay, okay... I can provide some bread and jam, I hope she likes it."
"Oh, one more thing."
"Please speak."
"Get me some wire and a pair of pliers."
"Huh? What do you want this for?"
"Hehe." Yang Mingzhi smiled intriguingly, "Just bring it over and I will give you a beautiful show."
After all, Medvedev only met the legendary Belekov yesterday. This man is a strange man. The fact that he dragged his pregnant wife to the training camp shooting range to observe it is puzzling. Of course Belekova
Before she became pregnant, the gay man also made great military exploits for the alliance, and it was indeed reported in previous issues of Pravda. So, what happened to the pliers and the wire?
After a while, the soldier who had been ordered out came back with a coil of wire and a pair of iron pliers.
"Wow, so much wire?! I can't use it all."
Medvedev said curiously: "You didn't say how much you used. Anyway, the wire and pliers are here. Quick! Where is your beautiful performance?"
"Okay, I'll start right now."
This space-time transparent tape has been invented, but because it has not been popularized yet, there is no relevant manufacturing technology here in the Soviet Union, and it is not included in the transportation goods of the Lend-Lease Act. It will definitely not be available here in Novosibirsk in the foreseeable future.
It doesn't matter if you don't have transparent tape, just twist the wire and it will work.
In full view of everyone, Yang Mingzhi stacked two magazines filled with bullets in opposite directions, then cut out a piece of iron wire with pliers, wrapped the two magazines, and then twisted the wire joints together.
Following the same pattern, the locking from the four iron wires has caused the two magazines to merge tightly.
What this is intended to do is already self-evident.
I have to say that this was indeed a stunning performance. Medvedev excitedly slapped his head: "Oh! After you do this, one magazine will contain sixty rounds of bullets!"
Facing everyone's surprised expressions, Yang Mingzhi remained calm and composed: "I have said that my new firearms are specially designed for ordinary soldiers. On the battlefield, every soldier complains that the firepower of his weapons is too weak, especially when entering
In the street fighting stage, although the submachine gun is good, the power and accuracy of the bullets are very limited. The rifle is powerful and accurate. Once you fire a shot and pull the bolt once, there is no chance to refill the gun. You see, two magazines are put together, and one shot is fired.
, you can replace it with another immediately, and the soldier's continuous combat capability will be greatly improved. At any time, the soldier's combat effectiveness will be increased."
"Wonderful! But by doing this, doesn't the weight of the firearm also increase?" Medvedev asked this pointed question.
"The weight is still within an acceptable range. I measured it with a scale at the design bureau. A fully loaded magazine only weighs 900 grams. If I connect two magazines in parallel, the whole gun weighs less than 7 kilograms. According to reports
As far as I know, the weight of the Bobosha with the magazine loaded with bullets is also close to six kilograms. But in terms of combat performance, I dare say that my new gun beats the Bobosha."
Medvedev nodded. Although no formal experiment has been conducted yet, yesterday's gunfire incident at least proved that this weapon can operate like a machine gun without any problem.
"Well, everything depends on the results of the experiment. We are all soldiers, and we don't need too many theories. Whether a gun is good or not, you must first go through the most basic shooting range experiment."
