Chapter 1805 The first person to die from an assault rifle
The spy's body quickly fell into the smoke and dust, which was caused by the bullet piercing the body and hitting the wall. The dust was completely beyond Beria's expectation.
Although he was not an expert in weapons research and development, Beria found it very strange, where did so much smoke and dust come from?!
They are spies anyway, and they are here to investigate the results of the last German air raid. If these guys succeed and collect a lot of intelligence, Moscow will face trouble again.
Grishenko risked his life, and hesitation towards his enemies was despicable towards his friends.
"stop!"
Beria suddenly interrupted Grishenko's shooting. At this moment, only fourteen bullets were fired.
A spy has died, and his body is covered in blood.
"Sergei, your people take down the body. I want to inspect it myself."
"As you command!"
The sudden death of his companion left the other spy's mind blank. In a sense, this person was already in a vegetative state. Therefore, this person had no idea how terrifying his companion's body was.
When the body was pulled down, everyone present was stunned. Beria, who didn't even blink when he heard the gunfire, subconsciously took two steps back when he saw the bloody body.
Why?
Although the spy was beaten with a whip and his clothes were ragged and crooked, with a strip of cloth covering his upper body, and even though there were more than a dozen holes punched by firearms, the front of the body was still intact.
However, the back side was extremely ferocious. After seeing this scene, several soldiers bent over and vomited.
Beria's face couldn't stop trembling: "This is... what is going on! Grishenko!"
"arrive!"
"What have you done?! The corpse...the corpse is actually..."
"I..." At this moment, Grishenko was also in shock, his eyes wide open. He could conclude that the cruel scene of the corpse was caused by the smoke-emitting assault rifle in his hand.
He hesitated for a while before answering: "It's the gun in my hand. I have never used it to shoot human targets, not even a hare. How could this be?"
"Oh, that's crazy! Could it be that what was fired was not a bullet but a bomb?!"
If Yang Mingzhi were standing here at this moment, he could proudly tell Beria that the cavity effect caused by the bullet's crazy rotation would be extremely lethal to living targets.
The cavity effect is a bullet killing mechanism that every recruit understands in the 21st century.
In this regard, the effectiveness of the 7.62mm bullet is not outstanding, but the 5.54mm Аk74 bullet is amazingly effective.
There was only a small hole in the front of the person who was shot, and a blood hole as big as a bowl in the back.
The dead spy was hit by more than a dozen bullets, but he was still accurately hit in the torso. There was no back left on the corpse. Two brave soldiers approached and announced a crazy fact to their NKVD. The spine of the corpse and
The ribs were basically broken into pieces, and the red and sticky stuff was the internal organs of the corpse.
In fact, such tragic corpses can be found everywhere on the battlefield.
Why? When a 155mm howitzer hits, the shock wave easily tears everything within a radius of twenty meters into pieces.
It is not unreasonable for artillery to be the god of war. After each battle, both sides count the casualties, and the number of complete corpses found is always limited. They can always unearth a large number of broken limbs and bones on the battlefield, and the owners of the broken limbs can no longer be identified.
Therefore, based on this situation, the Soviet army directly and violently calculated a "permanent loss", which included a large number of missing persons. What about the traces of the missing persons? Most of them are still on the battlefield, in a mutilated state and distributed
The smell of gunpowder smoke mixed together...
But for the soldiers at the Ministry of Internal Affairs headquarters, and even the jailers, the prisoners they execute will inevitably leave intact corpses. Even if Beria and his predecessors intentionally allowed their subordinates to abuse these prisoners, the act of insulting the corpses is expressly prohibited.
They had never seen such a cruel corpse. If Grishenko hadn't been strong-willed enough, he would have vomited all over the floor like the young soldiers.
Beria stamped his feet several times. He had no idea that Berekov's prototype gun was such a strange thing. He also suddenly remembered the descriptions in the report. The bullet actually hit a wooden target 200 meters away.
into pieces.
Do bullets have explosive effects?!
Based on Beria's knowledge, he knew that there was a kind of bullet that shattered after hitting the target, but the bullet's warhead not only had a special shape, but the material was also very soft. Beria at least understood that such a warhead could not fly very far, and the range
Not even as good as a submachine gun.
His eyes immediately aimed at the prepared magazines and drums.
"Grishenko, give me a few bullets. Quick!"
"As you command!"
A warhead that was different from the past was placed in the palm of his hand. Beria felt that its biggest feature was that the cartridge case had a larger taper. The warhead was still pointed, and the report made it clearer that its core was a piece of steel.
The types of bullets shipped from Novosibirsk are exactly the same, and their performance must be exactly the same.
Although Grishenko fired more than ten bullets, Beria suddenly felt boring now.
Doesn’t the current situation prove the truth? Belekov’s prototype gun was so good that it gave Beria another idea.
But there is still a spy who has not yet been executed, and the matter must be completed today.
Beria had no intention of being merciful. He boldly picked up another assault rifle and installed the magazine very easily without a teacher. Everything went so smoothly.
He adjusted to semi-automatic mode and aimed a clean shot at the last spy.
The sound of gunfire aroused the vitality of the middle-aged man. Beria was immersed in the madness of having the power of life and death, so that he pulled the trigger faster and faster. At the same time, he also discovered that he had used Toca every year for many years.
I practiced shooting with a Lev or a revolver, but now I used a cutting-edge rifle, and I didn't miss the target.
The last spy died, and the ending was tragic.
Did anyone show mercy to the dead? No! Not one.
The death of a spy is very satisfying, even if some jailors have compassion for the prisoners and treat spies as if they would be executed if they were caught in the street.
Beria's senses were greatly stimulated. He gave the last spy thirty "peanuts". His eyes were bloodshot and he had a scary and strange smile on his face.
"Merkulov...you! Find someone to bring the shroud!"
"Yes! Next..."
"The mission was accomplished, and I got incredible results. I'm very satisfied, let's end it now."
There is no intention to operate anymore. After all, Beria just wants to get a key conclusion about the new weapon, whether it is a murder weapon.
The result is already very obvious, it is so astonishing. I don’t know why, but the bullet is always the size of a fingernail, forcibly giving the enemy a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl.
If the army is equipped with this kind of weapon and a bullet hits the enemy, the enemy's military doctors will be helpless. There is no way to heal such a terrible wound.
Belekov came all the way to Moscow with this weapon in order to sell it to Stalin. The general's intention was very clear. He was eager to popularize the new firearms to the entire army.
At this moment, Beria completely became a fan of Yang Mingzhi. He definitely had no favorable impression of Yang Mingzhi's personality or conduct. As a very pragmatic person, Beria was full of desire to own new guns.
Originally, the Soviet Army's SVT40 popularization plan was forcibly interrupted by the war. When the war was won, the Soviet Army still wanted to popularize automatic weapons.
Beria felt that the new gun was extremely effective. He didn't bother to worry about the effective range and accuracy. This weapon had the range of a submachine gun anyway, but just one shot of its bullets would definitely kill someone. Of course he was out of trouble.
Based on my own feelings at this moment, I have come to the above conclusion. There are many fallacies in it, and there are also many correct conclusions.
The new gun needs to be equipped with troops, and it cannot be instantly popular among the six million soldiers fighting on the front line.
As the saying goes, troops under the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be equipped first.
The security guards at the Lubyanka headquarters building should change their uniforms quickly.
This crazy thought flashed past, and Beria suddenly thought that Berekov had not only brought a batch of sample guns when he came back, but some design drawings were also sealed! All the boxes were opened, and the drawings were
In the box, I just pay more attention to the firearms. What's the meaning of a pile of papers?
Now that I think about it, those papers are priceless treasures.
Once a firearms arsenal obtains these drawings, will it still have problems mass-producing new firearms? For example, the Tula City Firearms Factory, most of the factory's facilities were evacuated to the rear city of Perm. When the Soviet army recaptured Tula, the Firearms Factory
The destroyed factory buildings were repaired and workers were recruited to resume production.
The talents left behind will make high-end svt40. Beria feels that Berekov’s new gun is not more complicated than svt40. Is there any problem with the factory switching to manufacturing this?
Thinking about it, there is really huge potential. When I personally put pressure on it, will any of those workers dare to be lazy? No, absolutely not. No fool would dare to disobey the orders of the NKVD.
Before the corpse was collected for burial, Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel took photos of it. Although the lighting was not very good and the black-and-white photos taken were blurry, the photos were able to retain important information.
Two spies bravely infiltrated into Moscow, hoping to obtain more information about the results of the bombing. The information they obtained immediately was immediately sent to the occupied areas via radio. What they did was already very secretive, and was still detected by the Soviet army as suspicious.
The radio waves, through triangulation, locked the target.
The two of them were indeed of no use anymore, so they were ordered to be executed immediately.
No. Thinking about it now, the two of them are still valuable in the end. The real assault rifle in this plane was born in September 1942, and the real shooting was completed on the last day of September. The dead are the enemies, in all senses
Even though Yang Mingzhi had completed his original intention of inventing the invention, he could not hear the gunshots in the execution chamber in the prison in the distance while he was sleeping, so he had no way of knowing that the first person to die from an assault rifle was actually a German spy.
After a while, two shrouds were pulled over, the bloody body was thrown directly on top, and the body was tightly wrapped.
"Then we should deal with it in the old way?" Merkulov asked.
Beria answered very simply: "Throw it on a truck, take it to the outskirts, dig a hole in the woods and bury it. You take action immediately."
"As you command!"
"Also, write me a report on this matter today."
Beria watched the body being taken away by Mimi, and then left the execution ground where many important figures in the Soviet Union were executed, with his hands behind his back.
He doesn't like this place, not at all, not only because of the smell of blood, but also because this place is poisonous.
Blücher and other Trotskyists died in this church. If he loses power in the future, will he end up with the same fate?
It is difficult for Beria to predict the future. In short, as long as he still holds power, the future will be bright.
He stood outside and smoked a cigarette in full view of the guards. Looking at his watch again, it was already very late.
"Strange...I don't feel sleepy at all."
Why aren't you sleepy? It's all because of the execution of the prisoners just now.
The shooting speed of the new gun is comparable to that of a submachine gun, and its power is actually more ferocious than a traditional rifle. The bullets don't look special, and the structure of the gun itself is not complicated, but the weapon they form together can easily beat the enemy into flesh.
Sauce.
Such an excellent weapon was not favored by Ustinov in the end. It must at least be equipped by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
From now on, this kind of gun will be used as a special firearm for execution.
Beria finally returned to his office and lay on the soft bed in the lounge, his mind still thinking about what happened in the prison.
"Berekov... you are really a strange person. Damn it, I will send this information to you directly after dawn, Stalin..."
Except for a few people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no one knew what happened in the prison.
Beria didn't sleep for many hours. He had already ordered someone to wake him up at seven o'clock in the morning.
He woke up and hurried back to his office to wait for an important person to walk in with an important document.
The person who was supposed to come arrived at the right time. Merkulov, the director in charge of leading the Security Bureau, approached Beria with a briefcase and took out a document from the bag.
"The materials have been written. Comrade NKVD, please take a look at them."
"Very good." Beria nodded. He took the document and looked at it and it felt good. "Good job. Now, follow me to the leader's villa."
Beria's decision was really abrupt, Merkulov was very afraid, and his face instantly turned ugly.
"Why, are you afraid of him?"
"No! No... Comrade NKVD."
Merkulov's hesitant attitude immediately made Beria very dissatisfied: "He is not a man-eating monster, he is a human being, not a lofty Tsar. Remember, your boss is me."
Merkulov was indeed very hesitant because he had never been to Stalin's villa in the suburbs. His previous meetings with Stalin were also formal meetings in the Kremlin. Those were purely work-related negotiations, not this time.
He didn't have the courage of Beria, who dared to go straight to Stalin's house without an appointment. Not only because it was impolite behavior, but also because he was afraid that if Stalin was offended, he would get some good results?
Merkulov is an ambitious man. Although Beria is his boss, he has already received a lot of infamy within the alliance. Besides, Beria is not young at all. Who can succeed the position of NKVD in the future?
If there are no accidents, then you are correct.
Now, Merkulov suddenly felt that Beria was trying to kill himself.
But Beria was simply angry, and his subordinates actually backed down.
"Forget it." Beria stood up holding the document, "Instruct the brothers to go back to the city to arrest a few spies. When the pedantic experts finish inspecting the firearms in the afternoon, the spies will be taken to the church to shoot targets one by one. This will be regarded as a practical test.
.”
"Ah?! How can we..."
"What? Come with me to meet Stalin, and that scares you? Is it harder to catch spies than this?"
Just when Merkulov was about to defend himself, Beria grinned and shook his head fiercely with disdain: "Forget it. I'll go find Stalin myself, and your spies will continue to arrest him. If they can't be caught, they'll start from the ten planned."
Two people were pulled out of the list of people to be killed in September. Today is the last day of September, so we will kill two people in advance."
