Section 400 Major Renovation of the National Defense Army
"Sergeant Major Zhang Tao, out of the ranks." A young captain was practicing on the playground in front of more than a hundred soldiers who were not a few years younger than him, and at the sound of a command, a non-commissioned officer at the end of the line quickly trotted forward and saluted the captain.
"Sir, Sergeant Major Zhang Tao has come to report, please instruct."
"Sergeant Major Zhang Tao, please disassemble the "repeater" semi-automatic rifle in front of you incompletely. ”
"Yes, sir." Zhang Tao didn't say a word, picked up the rifle on the table in front of him, turned off the safe, unloaded the magazine, pulled the handle, cleared the chamber, and quickly disassembled the rifle into several large pieces with a 7.6mm pointed bullet. Neatly placed on the table, under the arrangement of the captain, the squad began to observe the new standard* rifle, and then the captain began to assemble and explain at the same time.
The "repeater" semi-automatic rifle is the third standard rifle of our army, the gun is 1025 mm long, and the whole gun weighs 3.6 kg without loading. The barrel is 521 mm long, with 4 right-handed riflings, 20 short and 32 long magazines, and a fixed magazine for 10 rounds. Fired 7.6×39mm rifle cartridges, combat rate of fire 35~40 rounds / min, effective range: 400 meters, gauge range: 1000 meters, maximum range: 1500 meters, muzzle velocity: 735 meters / second, under normal circumstances, concentrated fire can kill and injure the enemy assembled within 800 meters, and a special 30 mm grenade launcher can also be attached. The gun is also equipped with a folding bayonet or an external detachable multifunctional single-edged bayonet. The squad leaders below will go to the front to receive the guns in turn, carry out dismantling and maintenance courses, and familiarize themselves with this kind of firearms as soon as possible. ”
After the squad leaders received the guns, the soldiers could no longer sit still, and the new rifles in the hands of the squad leaders became the focus of the soldiers' eyes: "Da Niu, this gun can really fire continuously, just like your machine gun?" ”
", didn't you listen to what Captain Song said? This is a semi-automatic rifle, what is called semi-automatic, if you can shoot a shuttle of bullets with a fire, then it is not a light machine gun. ”
"Well, that's a hook and a shot, but it's much stronger than pulling the bolt, even 20 bullets can do two Mosin Nagant, big bull, when the time comes, we'll have more hairs than anyone else."
"Well, you're looking for a cripple. I'm a light machine gun, that's for fire support, the enemies I hit can't raise their heads, so you can step them down one by one, compare with me, why don't you compare with Xiao Ding, the accurate Qin crossbow is enough to kill a company. "Chen Guangxin said that my riflemen and snipers have killed more enemies, and this is not enough to support. simply ignored the big bull, stared at the rifle in the squad leader's hand, it was easy for him to get started, took the "repeater" rifle, and felt that it was indeed very light as soon as he got started, two catties lighter than the nine-and-a-half-pound Qin crossbow rifle, the bullet was universal, pull the bolt and push the bullet, open the safety and aim, and a series of actions walked down, Chen Guang found that this rifle was simply too comfortable to use, although there was no bullet, but thinking about a hook of the finger is a bullet, it was so cool.
On the land of China, the same drama is being staged in every military camp. Soon the fighters will receive other new equipment. For example, in the barracks of the internal security unit of the current special forces command, everyone wiped the plumber submachine guns that had been with them for more than five years, and then lined them up in the transfer wooden boxes, filled with straw bags and sealed with butter, these weapons were about to be sent to the strategic material reserve, and the eyes of the soldiers had long been nailed to the dark green wooden boxes with eagle emblems, which contained their new weapons: "Shocker" submachine guns, This new gun, which is based on the classic German submachine gun of the MP40, still uses the 9×19mm Parabellum pistol cartridge, adopts the free bolt type, the theoretical rate of fire is 500 rounds / min, the muzzle velocity: 381m/s, the gauge range: 200 meters, the full length (stock open) 833mm (stock folded) 630mm, the 251mm barrel with 6 right-handed rifling lines, chrome plating in the chamber, and the barrel life can be as high as more than 30,000 rounds.
The "Impactor" does away with the traditional wooden fixed stock, handguard components and barrel guards and other bulky and bulky structures on the gun body, and the main parts are made of steel sheets, and even the only time-consuming wooden stock is replaced by a steel folding stock. Engineering plastics are used in the grip and other places, and high-strength aluminum alloy is used in the frame, lower receiver and magazine, so the mass of the whole gun (including the 32-round magazine) is only 3.47kg. There is no complicated process for the whole gun, and the steel sheet pressed gun body can be manufactured at will in the assembly line of the general factory, and the general junior technical workers can be manufactured by relying on tools; The lower part of the receiver is made of very lightweight aluminum. Among the assault weapons that were heavily equipped during World War II, the MP40 submachine gun had a high accuracy. Due to its low recoil, the MP40 is very accurate in shooting in the effective range, and its accuracy in sustained fire is unmatched. The previous "Plumber" submachine gun had a difficult time controlling the distribution of impact points when firing continuously, while any Wehrmacht recruit could control the "Impactor" during heavy fire. Provides dense firepower in closer combat. This is mainly from the design idea of the "impactor". It operates on a free-bolt principle, with the re-entry spring mounted in three sleeved tubes of different diameters, with the tip of the catheter being a firing pin. When firing, the bolt recoil drives the firing pin to move, and compresses the recoiling spring in the catheter, so that the reentry spring moves smoothly and reduces the recoil force borne by the shooter.
Along with the "Repeater" semi-automatic rifle and the "Shocker" submachine gun, the "Ruler" general-purpose machine gun will replace the old imitation Madsen light machine gun and the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun that was once heavily equipped, except for a small number of Maxim modified (air-cooled) heavy machine guns that are still in service, the "Ruler" will be the main machine gun equipment of the Chinese National Defense Forces, using the same 7.6 mm caliber, but the machine gun cartridge uses a 7.6 × 57 mm full-power machine gun cartridge with a weighted warhead and a lengthened body. The theoretical rate of fire of the general-purpose machine gun using the principle of short recoil of the barrel can reach 1200-1500 rounds / min, but this does not have much significance in actual warfare, in the "Chinese Defense Forces Army Teaching Manual", the shooter of the "ruler" machine gun is required to put it at a rate of fire of 500-650 rounds / min, although its theoretical rate of fire is 1200 rounds / min, but controlling the rate of fire is very important for the machine gun itself, and putting it in the hands of people who do not understand machine guns may lead to a greatly shortened barrel life, so, The training of experienced and mature shooters became an important part of the "ruler" machine guns after they entered service. The ammunition supply method is 50 rounds or 300 rounds chain, using iron ammunition boxes for transportation and storage, the total gun length is 1219 mm, the barrel length is 533 mm, the total gun mass (including bipod) is 9.1 kg, it can use mechanical sights or additional white light sights, and the effective range is 800 meters (light machine guns) or 1000 meters (heavy machine guns).
The light machine gun crew consisted of three people: an observer, an shooter and a loader, using a bipod that was easy to move quickly, carried little ammunition, and generally fought with the squad. During the assault, the "Ruler" light machine gun of the light machine gun group can quickly be replaced with 75 round assault drums and continue to provide fire support for the team members. Medium and heavy machine gun crews consist of four or five members, use triangular adjustable mounts, and are generally not equipped with assault drums. The difference is that the "rulers" of the heavy machine gun group are equipped with heavy barrels that ensure that the machine guns have a longer firepower. The shooter is the soul of the entire "ruler" machine gun group, so only soldiers with a strong will can take on the role, so the machine gun shooters and sub-shooters in the unit are professionally trained and familiar with the performance of general-purpose machine guns. However, the other riflemen and ammunition men had to learn how to operate the universal machine gun, so even if the troops suffered heavy casualties, there would be no machine gun without a shooter.
As for the "Daystar" pistol and the "Deer Hunter" pump-action No. 12 shotgun, which had already begun to equip the troops, the new equipment was also quickly replenished under the arrangement of the General Armament Department. What makes the grassroots troops even happier is the equipment of the "Fire Tongue" heavy machine gun, which is a 12.7 mm large-caliber heavy machine gun with a short barrel recoil working principle and a clamp iron landing locking structure. When firing, as the warhead moves forward along the barrel, the barrel and bolt recoiled simultaneously under the pressure of gunpowder gases in the chamber. After the warhead flies out of the muzzle, the locking iron leaves the locking bearing surface on the wedge latch, and the pins on both sides of it are pressed down by the unlocking slope on the shaping plate, so the entire locking card iron is separated from the locking groove under the bolt, and the bolt is unlocked. Subsequently, the barrel sleeve slammed into the hook-shaped accelerator set inside, and the upper end of the accelerator hit the tail of the bolt, accelerating the bolt recoil. The gun is equipped with a hydraulic buffer mechanism, when the barrel and the knot sleeve recoil, the piston of the hydraulic buffer is pushed backwards, compressing the oil in the buffer tube, so that it escapes forward from the gap between the inner walls of the oil pipe around the piston, and has a cushioning effect on the recoil. When the bolt is re-entered, the bulge at the tail of the bolt hits the upper end of the accelerator to make it rotate forward, and the accelerator releases the hydraulic buffer spring to push the barrel and the knuckle sleeve to re-advance. The locking card iron is forcibly lifted up under the action of the locking slope on the wedge latch, and enters the locking groove under the bolt, and the bolt is locked. The gun adopts a single-way ammunition delivery and two-way ammunition feeding mechanism, and the guide post at the end of the lever is stuck into the curve groove at the top of the bolt, and when the bolt is in reciprocating motion, the bullet feeding action is realized. The gun used a simple sheet front sight and a vertical frame ruler, both of which were mounted on the receiver.
The 12.7×99mmmm caliber bullets fired by the gun include ordinary bullets, armor-piercing incendiary * incendiary bullets, armor-piercing bullets, tracer bullets, armor-piercing tracer bullets, armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets, shell-out armor-piercing bullets, hard-core armor-piercing bullets, training bullets, etc. The 12.7 has a maximum range of 7.4 km (4.55 mi) when fired and 1.8 km (1.2 mi) on a dedicated tripod. The net weight of the "Tongue of Fire" large-caliber heavy machine gun is 38 kg, and its full weight is 20 kg (44 pounds) when it is equipped with a tripod, and the V-shaped trigger is mounted at the tail of the receiver and has two grips, the shooter can adjust the automatic or semi-automatic firing by locking or opening the bolt, and can carry out anti-aircraft shooting when pulling up the anti-aircraft gun mount, which is widely used, in order to cope with different equipment, it can be changed to the right side of the receiver in a short time without special tools, and it is simply the backbone of the first-level direct fire support fire.
Combined with the Type 1918 grenade launcher, Type 1914 60mm mortar, Type 1918 82mm mortar and 82mm recoilless gun that were gradually reequipped during World War I, the infantry of the Chinese National Defense Force after the comprehensive refitting has surpassed the equipment level of the most elite US Army Cavalry Division after World War II, and is not much different from the US Army during the Korean War in terms of equipment below the company level. After World War I, China's major arsenals not only did not reduce production and switch production, but stepped up the production of these new equipment, and finally basically met the needs of the Wehrmacht's field units in the summer of the 13th year of the Republic, and they were also actively stockpiling ammunition to provide sufficient ammunition for the training of the troops. The Wehrmacht was in full swing, and in the peaceful world situation, the hidden mystery resurfaced, and a storm in the Far East was already brewing.
