Chapter 52: Tactical Equipment
What Hansen was talking about was that the day after Zhuo flew to Nanjing, he asked Hansen to find a tailor's shop and use a specially customized combat suit from fine canvas from the United States. It's only been 37 years now, and Germany has not yet developed a camouflage military uniform suitable for field combat, even with this camouflage military uniform, Zhuo Fei may not have the channel to get this kind of thing, so he can only use local methods to find a tailor to customize a combat suit for himself.
Hansen was originally looking for a Shanghai tailor shop in Nanjing, but Zhuo Fei was worried that the shrewd Shanghai tailor would leak the combat suit he had designed, so he found a few middle-aged women from the shantytowns in the city to handle the matter. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Zhuo Fei agrees with this sentence very much, for a warrior, when facing a life-and-death battle, it is an extremely cruel thing to not have good equipment and weapons.
Although Zhuo Fei knew that the scope he added to the rifle was not as good as the original sniper rifle, it was better than using an ordinary rifle, at least when he used the automatic gun aiming, the firing range had increased from the original 200 meters to more than 500 meters. For armored or artillery, the firing range of 500 meters is not worth mentioning at all, but if for ordinary soldiers in the infantry, 500 meters of shooting is already a mythical existence, even a good sniper in the army may not be able to guarantee a shot at a distance of 500 meters.
The scope from the black market in Xuzhou was painstakingly installed on the Mauser rifle by Zhuo Fei, and Zhuo Fei also used the rudimentary machinery in the hardware factory to make a metal butt for his fast and slow machine shell gun. I've always been unaccustomed to the wooden butt of the shell gun, and it's really troublesome to carry that thing around, so Zhuo Fei made a metal butt for his shell gun when making a silencer, so that he has a melee automatic weapon with a loading range of 20 and a firing range of about 100 meters.
A gun is a soldier's second life, and Zhuo Fei has also made great efforts to transform his weapon to the best, but he already has automatic gun aiming skills, but his actual dependence on weapons is not too high. Leaving the teahouse, Zhuo Fei and the others drove back to the residence, Zhuo Fei explained that the things that he had sewn had already been placed in the living room, and Angela and Vivien, who were very curious, were looking through those things, and these things were the first time they had seen them.
It is impossible for Zhuo Fei to obtain nylon fabrics in this era, and there are no such things as Velcro, so he can only choose to use thin canvas as the fabric of the clothing, but after the combat uniform is sewn, those women will first rub and wash the combat uniform several times, so that when Zhuo Fei wears the combat uniform, he will not feel the inconvenience caused by the thin canvas. "Boss, I heard that you designed these things with your own hands?" Angela didn't dare to ask herself, so she instigated Vivien to ask Zhuo Fei.
Zhuo Fei didn't have time to pay attention to Angela and Vivien at this time, Zhuo Fei's whole mind had already focused on these things on the table, or Hansen took the words to drive Vivien and Angela away, so Zhuo Fei was able to try on the sewn combat uniform. Zhuo Fei did not re-dye the thin canvas with an earthy yellow tinge, because if they encountered Japanese soldiers in the field, this color might make the Japanese soldiers think that Zhuo Fei was their companion.
Like the U.S. military combat uniform that Zhuo Fei wore in his later life, the combat uniform that Zhuo Fei is wearing now is also a small stand-up collar style, which immediately distinguishes this combat uniform from the military uniforms of the current armies of various countries, because including the German army and the U.S. army, no army of that country is equipped with a military uniform with a small stand-up collar. After pulling the zipper, Zhuo Fei opened his arms and did a few chest expansion movements, confirming the looseness and quality of this combat uniform top in turn, he didn't want to be in the situation that when he was fighting, the shirt would be too tight and affect the tactical action or the clothes would suddenly open the line.
There is no magic paste, so the pockets of Zhuo Fei's jacket can only use zippers, fortunately, there is such a thing as zippers in this era, otherwise Zhuo Fei's combat uniform may only use buttons instead of zippers. There are still pockets on both sides of the pants of the combat uniform, and there are more leg straps for pistols, which are different from the German breeches, but Zhuo Fei's pants are a little close-fitting. Squatting and jumping on the spot, Zhuo Fei, wearing a combat uniform, went downstairs and ran back and forth in the yard, and from time to time he would do a few actions such as rolling forward or imagining to draw a gun and aim forward.
"What's wrong with the boss? Could it be that there is something wrong with the brain? Among the onlookers, only Vivian was full of doubts, she was really a medical soldier when she was a soldier, and she didn't know the meaning of Zhuo Fei's tactical moves. Shhhh
"Yes, it's just that the left armpit of the jacket is a little tight, and the crotch of the pants is too shallow, wait until I try other things, tell them to pay attention to these two places when they make a new one." After running back and forth in the yard for a while, Zhuo Fei was quite satisfied with the combat uniform on his body, at least the sturdiness of the clothes had to be recognized by him. Zhuo Fei's tactical suit is not only a combat suit, but also a vest-style individual carrying gear made of thin canvas and a three-point gun belt made of canvas.
Zhuo Fei also wants special warfare combat uniforms, bulletproof vests, large-caliber sniper rifles and all kinds of special ammunition, but unfortunately in this era, he doesn't have any of these things, so Zhuo Fei can only use substitutes as much as possible to imitate self-made tools, such as individual carrying tools and three-point gun belts. Although it is an imitation, and the handmade craftsmanship does not look very good, but after Zhuo Fei is equipped with these things, he is still very satisfied, at least in the current armies of various countries, his own these things are the first in the world.
Hanging the grenade on his chest, inserting the magazine into the pocket of the carrying gear, inserting the M1911 pistol into the holster of the leg strap, and leaving the fast and slow machine barge gun hanging on the three-point gun belt behind him, Zhuo Fei, who is holding a Mauser sniper rifle in both hands, is a small arms arsenal that can be moved. Hansen and the others watched Zhuo Fei for a while, and Hansen, who seemed to have suddenly realized, suddenly reached out and patted his head, walked upstairs quickly, and took out a German-style steel helmet and a pair of cowhide military boots from a box in the study, "I said that it seems that something is wrong there, that is, there is a lack of steel helmet and military boots." ”
After changing into military boots and wearing a German-style steel helmet, Zhuo Fei himself felt that this feeling was much better now than just now, and he jumped on the spot to try the comfort of the cowhide military boots on his feet, and Zhuo Fei nodded with satisfaction. "Mr. Hansen, according to the current style and size, make me three more sets, and you can find someone to make me a pair of face armor that can cover my face below my eyes in hard leather, and I want a black one." Zhuo Fei's last request sounded a little weird, but Han Sen didn't have the words to agree immediately, and he didn't even ask.
"Boss, are you going to take us to war?" When Zhuo Fei changed out of his combat uniform, Angela, who had been waiting for a long time and was a little impatient, came up and asked urgently. Although Angela and Vivian are so short of money that they come to serve as Zhuo Fei's guards, acting as a guard and going into battle are two different concepts, before she figured out everything, Angela was eager to know what Zhuo Fei's intentions were, she didn't want to die in a foreign country with Vivian for some money.
Zhuo Fei has now completely adapted to Angela's frizzy personality, so he didn't have any aversion to Angela's question, just smiled and said, "If I pay you enough and generously, won't you ask me such questions again?" Didn't you tell me that different jobs need to pay you differently, so I decided to give you the best treatment and remuneration, how did you do it? ”
Zhuo Fei actually just joked with Angel again, but the latter immediately jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and shouted at Zhuo Fei, "Dream of your big head, when you came to us, you just said that you wanted us to be guards, and you just said that you wanted us to protect this residence and your safety, and you didn't say that you wanted us to go to war with you." ”
Zhuo Fei, who was yelled at by Angela, turned his head and squeezed his eyes with Vivian very vaguely, and then turned his head to look at Angela, "Miss Angela, I think it's too late for you to regret it now, unless you can spit out all the food you have eaten in the past few days and return it to me, otherwise you are in breach of contract." If this were in you America, you would be facing a trial and a verdict from the courts, so I personally think that you should do what I order, and I didn't say that I wanted you to help me go to war. ”
"Oh, you don't want me to help you fight?" Zhuo Fei's speed of speech was not too fast, and Angela finally heard clearly that Zhuo Fei did not mean to fight by herself, which could be regarded as quieting down, but Zhuo Fei's next words instantly broke her heart that had just calmed down.
"But Miss Angela, what you have just done reminds me that you are my bodyguard, not only to protect this residence, but also to keep me safe. This means that for the sake of my life, I must take you or Vivien with me when I go out, and if I am injured, I must have someone with experience in field care. ”
"Miss Angela, in the name of your boss, I now officially inform you that we will leave for Suzhou in three days. You'd better bring all your battlefield ambulance equipment and medicines, we may encounter Japanese troops in Wuxi, and maybe we will exchange fire with them. Zhuo Fei's decision made Angela instantly feel like falling into an ice cave, and the whole person immediately became bad, Wuxi is too close to Shanghai.
