"Hello, General Wang, I didn't expect you to come to Xuzhou so soon."
"Where, there is an urgent order from the superior department. The Japanese army is moving too fast. In addition, Han Fuqu retreats without a fight. I can't even think about it!"
Wang Zongyao had only been married for a few days when the battle situation on the front line suddenly changed, so he had to send officers to the front line in advance. When Han Ying left, she saw him off with tears on her face. Although Wang Zongyao was a soldier, facing this situation, she felt sad.
It was a complete mess. But the military order was like a mountain. Whether it was for yourself or the country, you had to go.
"Now that the Japanese army has reached this position, your troops are in front. Without orders from Commander Li Zongren, your troops cannot move a step!"
This task is to stay on the front line, which is not an easy task for a veteran, especially after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Japanese.
"Okay, I'll go down and get ready right away."
This is Wang Zongyao's first time seeing the new army, because this is not his own army, and he may not fight with all his heart. However, he is a commander after all, and if he cannot get along with the soldiers as quickly as possible, he may be the first to be attacked by the Japanese.
Positioned.
This time Wang Zongyao brought not only a change of clothes, but also 30,000 yuan. This money was entirely used to give these soldiers at critical moments. If he wanted to get these people to work together quickly, he could only let them
They have a goal and strive for it. Once they win, they will gain not only the 30,000 yuan, but also countless honors.
If he really cared, Wang Zongyao would not just be a division commander at this time, but would at least be promoted to a higher level. He is a veteran in the military, and he sees many people's promotions in his eyes, but
Too lazy to talk about it. We are preparing for the Battle of Xuzhou right now and have no time to take care of so much.
The national army has been weak for too long, and the normal way of leading troops takes too long. Only money can allow these veterans to contribute. Although there will be a few who risk their lives for the country, there are too few such people, and there are too many people who want money.
Too many. Just because a piece of money is not in place, a group of troops have already surrendered to the enemy before the war begins, which means they will be defeated before the war begins.
The battle of Xuzhou is already brewing. Han Cheng, who is hundreds of miles away, has no time to care about it at this time because he is working on bullets specially designed to kill the enemy. There are already sharpshooters in the army. Although the number is small, but
A prototype has basically been formed. Large-scale battles are unlikely to appear again in the near future. What is left is naturally to use cold guns to kill lone enemies, build up small victories into big victories, and annihilate the enemy's elite veterans.
"Bring me those bullet casings that can't be reloaded. I'll have some use for them."
There are more and more cartridge cases that cannot be reloaded, and it may not be long before these items will all be used.
In a small crucible, Han Cheng began to melt the cleaned cartridge cases. Next to them was the finished mold. In fact, the cartridge cases were made into a flat plate and then punched into the shape of the warhead. However, after all, it was an issue with the alloy. The actual use
Coming down is also problematic.
The life of the stamping mold will not exceed the time of a cigarette, but it can produce more than 100 rounds of warheads. After being filled with lead and sealed, it can be used perfectly. But gunpowder has always been a serious problem because of the
Many of them are black powder. When used as propellant for bullets, the power of black powder and smokeless gunpowder is not much different. The biggest disadvantage of black powder is that it produces smoke! There are many residues, so the gunpowder must be improved.
"Sigh... Let's count how many sharpshooters we have. Then they will need to redistribute bullets!"
"yes!"
The current military industry department is barely cobbled together in the battalion. Including Han Cheng, there are no more than 10 people in total, which is already a very large number. Among them, there are 7 people responsible for ammunition production, and the rest are auxiliary production
Personnel. These few people, plus Han Cheng, bear the ammunition consumption of the entire battalion.
Many cartridge cases are reloaded, and self-made cartridge cases rarely meet the requirements. Basically, this idea was abandoned. A large number of cartridge cases were found from various places for re-cleaning, testing and reloading. There is no problem in being self-sufficient.
, and there is still a lot left. If you want to expand the scale, self-made bullet casings are a must.
Sharpshooters will have to go through another round of selection before they can have special bullets, because not only must their marksmanship be accurate, but they also need to be able to use as few as possible so that they can be consumed. There is no other way. Special bullets are all made of metal, and ordinary bullets must be
The bullets are made of glass, this is a special supply.
Looking at the black gunpowder in his hand, Han Cheng could not think of any other way to reduce the appearance of smoke and residue. The final solution might just be to develop smokeless gunpowder. The biggest advantage of smokeless gunpowder is that it is smokeless and has less residue. If it relies solely on its power,
If so, it is called high-power gunpowder. There is potassium sulfide residue after the reaction of black gunpowder, which is inevitable. If it is to be completely gasified, it cannot contain metal salts, but it is impossible with the current technology.
Why do you dare to directly replace the smokeless gunpowder and use black powder? The reason is that throughout history, the current rifle bullets still use the specifications of World War I, but the gunpowder in them is replaced. It can shoot
If you go out and have power, this will already meet your needs.
The purpose of large-caliber ammunition is to accommodate more black powder, thereby making the bullet's range longer. As long as there are not many things in this frame, black powder can still meet the demand.
On a small scale, nitrate gunpowder can actually be used, but the current base is so poor that it is impossible to produce these chemical raw materials. If you want to produce it, you have to find another way. The more critical point is the output problem, and there is no way to produce it on a large scale.
The situation of the battle cannot be changed.
The black powder version of Mauser and Mahen has a muzzle velocity of 400m/s+, and the 7.7x56mm Lee Mekford has a muzzle velocity of up to 560m/s (its first-generation smokeless powder version only increased the muzzle velocity to a mere 600m/s).
Don't say that you can't kill someone. As long as it's produced up to standard, a wooden pole can stab someone to death.
What's more, now that gunpowder is added with materials, it will burn faster. In principle, if the mass is the same, the larger the total surface area, the faster the burning speed. The more important thing is to pay attention to the weight. If you add too much, it will be a grenade.
The loaded bullets are placed on the table. The current warheads are all made in the shape of heavy-pointed bullets. In the past, they were designed based on round-headed bullets, with low muzzle velocity, short range, and curved trajectory. The most common thing in anti-Japanese dramas is the opposite.
It is a heavy-pointed bullet that appeared later. Hanyang also fired heavy-pointed bullets. Hanyang 88-type rifle or its prototype gew 88, but it needs to modify the old rifle chamber or initially modify it on the gun-making machine to adapt.
Both types of bullets can shoot medium-sized rifles, Type 24 heavy machine guns, ZB-26 light machine guns and 30-knot heavy machine guns. Hancheng has already prepared them at the place of manufacture, so the guns equipped by the troops
Basically, both types of bullets can be fired.
The purpose of switching to pointed warheads is for better accuracy and longer range. These sharpshooters can kill enemies through long-distance shooting in one attack. This is also a new war of attrition and protracted war in tense situations in the future.
