Section 114 The new army of Wuyi has new guns
"After the expansion of each standard into a mixed association, the following adjustments will be made to the station. The station of the First Association was adjusted to Dongchang Prefecture, and the scope of conscription was the Hebei region of Dongchang Prefecture, Linqing Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture; The second association was adjusted to Wuding Mansion, and the conscription scope was Wuding Mansion, Dengzhou Prefecture, and Laizhou Prefecture; The station of the Third Association was adjusted to Yanzhou Prefecture, and the scope of conscription was Yanzhou Prefecture, Caozhou Prefecture, and Jining Prefecture; The station of the Fourth Association was adjusted to Qingzhou Mansion, and the conscription scope was Qingzhou Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture, and Jiaozhou Prefecture. The scope of conscription for cavalry, baggage troops, and artillery is the whole province, and they are generally selected from the recruits who have completed their intensive training. ”
The commanders did not feel much about the changes in their own stations, and they were all wholeheartedly studying the establishment of their units, looking at the shortage of troops, and pondering how to adjust the allocation of officers at the grassroots level. Wu Chenxuan's greatest fear did not happen, and if there were any officers who raised objections to the garrison in any way, they would be the beginning of the idea of mountaineering, and this should be resolutely stifled, even if some talented officers were hired for this purpose. In fact, gangs are rampant in the current Qing army, and there are many mountains, even the same is true of Lao Yuan's three towns in Beiyang, sometimes Duan Qirui often complains that he will be an official in the Beiyang team than he can lead the soldiers. I really can't imagine that next time there is another Eight-Nation Alliance or something, what kind of bird the Beiyang New Army that the imperial court relies on as a dry city can become.
Wu Chenxuan knew that he was still the same until the Republic of China, and he didn't see any improvement. Although I know that the mountain-based position is a chronic disease in the army, several rules have been established since the insurance regiment, such as the unification of logistics, equipment, command, and personnel, and the generals of the iron-clad battalion, the exchange and transfer of middle and high-level officers are very frequent, and the officers in the new army are all young and promising cadets, and they all have the ambition to display their ambitions in their chests, and they have not been mixed up in other armies, and they do not have a trace of military ruffianism on their bodies, and their thoughts are mostly ambitions to make meritorious contributions. The salary they received also gave them a sense of pride in front of their families and peers, and naturally few people wanted to use the military for personal gain. Wu Chenxuan also knew that the sense of honor and responsibility brought about by high salaries and promotions was not reliable after all, but he looked down on the rather naïve revolutionary ideas of the revolutionary party, so how to establish the political and ideological line in the army became a problem for him, and if he did not make it possible for the new armed army, which seemed to be united and strong, it would be torn apart by ideological differences and annihilated in the smoke clouds of history. At present, Wu Chenxuan has to play the banner of "serving the country with loyalty, protecting the family and protecting the people", flickering, oh, it is to boost morale, fortunately, this is very consistent with the major policies of the imperial court and the traditional education received by the military cadets, no one thinks there is anything wrong, soldiers are also food and soldiers, and the idea of taking money to work, very simple to realize that the opportunity to be a soldier is not easy to come by, the owner, that is, the presidential system is concerned about everyone's clothing, food, housing and transportation, the salary is never deducted from arrears, and you can read and read on weekdays, and the double salary is also closed at the end of the year. The lord's family is so benevolent and righteous, and the soldier cannot say anything other than to repay him with his life. Even on weekdays, there are scales for officers to beat and scold, and those who violate military regulations and become officials are closed in a small black house, and the soldiers seem to have such a team that is already the best in the world, and the hard-working people can have this opportunity to be a soldier for a few years, either as a non-commissioned officer or as a buddy in the Chamber of Commerce, and they don't have to dig in the soil for a lifetime, if they can't endure hardship and can't stand the crime, they are second-rate, and no one will be pitiful to be killed.
The weapons of the Wuyi New Army have now been localized, and the standard machinery and the Laiwu Ziqiang Machinery Factory invested by Zhu Zhiyao and other cadres of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce have quickly put into the ranks of military production under the condition of a full set of production line design drawings provided by Du Niang.
Take the standard rifle as an example, the Mauser KAR 98K (Kar is Carbine) type, which is more suitable for Asian body types, but because it is a domestic-made rifle, the caliber naturally does not need to choose the original German Mauser's 7.92×57 mm full-power rifle cartridge, but chooses the 7.62×39 mm rifle cartridge that our army has used from the fifties to the end of the century. Laigang has also developed its own 50GrMnMotia alloy steel to adapt to the national conditions, and the bolt machine replaces the 30GrNi2Mova alloy steel imported by Rhine Iron and Steel with 30GrMnmotia alloy steel with nickel-free and less chromium, which improves mechanical properties while reducing costs. The mainstream rifles of this period have not yet adopted the chrome plating technology of the breech, so the barrel life is short, and many rifles can not be scrapped in advance if they do not hit the prescribed 6000 rounds, and the commission 88 rifle made in Hanyang is even more so, and some of the old guns used by some of Lao Yuan's troops have been beaten from 79 to 97, because they have no money and are reluctant to replace the new guns, in the words of Duan Qirui, "even if the elephant's butt is ten meters away from the muzzle, it will not hit the target", and after using 50ba gun steel to make the barrel, the flow chrome plating technology is also used in the chamber and rifle, so that the barrel life of domestic rifles has been greatly improved, and the barrel life of more than 30,000 rounds is proper.
During this period, most of the parts such as the front sights, gauge mounts and gas hoops of the rifles produced during this period were forged first and then machined into shape, or directly cut with bars, which not only had cumbersome processes, but also did not have a high material utilization rate, which was also the reason why the ex-factory prices of rifles such as Mauser, Li Enfei, and Manlixia remained high to a large extent due to machining problems. However, the standard machinery adopts the lost-wax precision casting process in the production of these parts, and as long as a small amount of machining is carried out on the key parts, it can meet the requirements, which greatly improves the production efficiency.
Most of the rifle barrels and receivers produced abroad are assembled by threaded connection and tightening, although the assembly process is relatively simple, but the processing and accuracy requirements of the thread are high, the scrap rate is high, and the repair is not convenient. The barrel produced by standard machinery adopts the connection mode of hydrostatic fit and fixed pin, and the size of the assembly hole on the receiver and the outer circle of the barrel tail can be assembled by the method of optional grouping, and then drilled into the positioning pin after assembly, and the rejection rate is very low.
The firing pin and firing pin cross-section shape of the Mauser rifle has been redesigned, and the size and angle of the firing pin head, as well as the internal angle of the firing pinhole, the shape of the shell hook and the material of the shell hook spring have been adjusted to meet the requirements of use and life. Similar improvements also have the improvement of the bayonet, instead of using the original German design of the sword-shaped double-edged bayonet, but all changed to the three-edged stabbing * cone folded under the barrel, and the length has also been increased from the original 312mm to 380mm, which has the advantages of good stiffness, large piercing force and strong lethality. This bayonet is a kind of variable cross-section bayonet, the front section is similar to the inverted "T" shape, the rear end is approximately cylindrical, and the tip is close to the shape of the flat screwdriver. Another advantage of switching to a triangular * bayonet was that the bayonet groove of the lower handguard was shallower than that of the sword-shaped bayonet, which favored the overall strength of the whole gun. It is said that this kind of stabbing cone design is very vicious, the cooking class uses it to kill pigs and let blood, a bayonet goes down, Bajie brother blood flowed like an infusion, at that time he collapsed to the ground, less than three or five minutes on a life whine, afterwards the medical staff saw the triangular wound, said that if the thorn cone stabbed himself, he would have been shot and cut off, and the province suffered more, because he was not saved at all. Under Wu Chenxuan's strict order, the troops gave up their plan to practice assassination with real guns, and the wooden guns of ash were used for training stabbing.
This rifle inherits the classic Mauser rotary rear pull bolt of the 98 series Mauser, and the bolt tail is a safety device. The bullets are staggered in two rows and have a built-in magazine, which is loaded with a five-round magazine, which is pressed into the magazine above the receiver and can also be loaded in a single shot. It adopts a down-curved pull handle for easy carrying and mounting of the scope, a curved ruler, a "V" shaped notched door, an inverted "V" crosshair, and a round shield for the front sight. The Kar98K rifle was once used as the standard rifle of the Nazi German army for a long time, and is one of the most widely used rifles, a reliable and accurate rifle in bolt-action rifles, and is considered one of the best rotary pull-back bolt rifles of World War II. The ammunition feeding system is a built-in double-row magazine in which bullets are staggered. And its bottom magazine can be removed so that the magazine spring can be replaced if necessary. When loading bullets, single round loading can be carried out, that is, the bolt is opened and a single bullet is loaded into the magazine; Disposable magazines can also be used. Each magazine is loaded with 5 rounds, which fills the magazine exactly. When loading, the magazine is inserted directly into the receiver guide slot, and the cartridge is pressed into the magazine, while the empty magazine is automatically discarded when the bolt is locked. If you want to remove a loaded bullet, simply pull the bolt (the safety device must be in the middle position, i.e. safe but the bolt is unlocked), or simply remove the bottom magazine.
This rifle was produced when a sample gun was sent to the German Mauser company's Asian general generation, from the Mauser company's feedback, they did not realize that this rifle was plagiarizing their own Mauser 98, but for the simple and sturdy integral bolt and double-row ammunition feeding system very admired, thought it was a very genius two designs. Since the owner didn't think that he had lost something, but felt inspired by it, and actually wanted to pay for the design patent in our hands, then we didn't need to be polite to them, in addition to transferring these designs that originally belonged to Mauser, but also got the imitation authorization of Mauser C96 automatic pistol, if it is used in China, there is no longer a limit to the number at all. Looking at the Mauser kar98k that had changed the caliber to a smaller one, I was thinking about how to name it, and suddenly remembered the invincible Great Qin Army three thousand years ago, their earth-devouring arrow array, the bow and crossbow with amazing precision, so I blurted out the name of the first national-made rifle of the Wuyi New Army "Qin crossbow", several generals and factory technicians here felt that the name was very appropriate, but no one thought that a series of nationally made main firearms named after bows and crossbows appeared from then on, And they have become heirlooms that various countries compete to imitate and buy.
