Chapter 19 Weapon Systems
This chapter is written for friends who love weapons, if you are not a weapon lover, then too much technical discussion in this chapter may bore you, please pay attention when subscribing, thank you.
By the end of June 1918, the weather was already quite hot, but the summer by the sea was crisp and humid, especially when the pollution was decreasing.
Men and women on the street changed into thin silk skirts and suits, but the Marines who had become almost the scene last year were still on the beach.
And the dense gunfire that came from the barracks every day also made the people wonder if there were foreigners who accidentally dragged Tang to kill him.
This is the "shadow" that Tang Yunyang has created in the hearts of some people after the previous "massacres". And these people have a "shadow" in their hearts, and the people who live diligently will see the sunshine in their hearts, so when it comes to Tang Yunyang's "murderous nature", the people will only say three words: "kill well"!
These reactions also solved the doubts in the hearts of Gu Weijun, Li Shizeng and others, and at least made them understand that the people were not really stupid, and they knew who was really good to them.
As for the kind of indifference shown by the policies of the rulers in ordinary times, they are just using silence to fight against power, if they have to say a result, they will naturally not perish in silence, but will break out in silence.
Now, after more than half a year has passed, it is obvious that the "Chinese National Defense Forces" have planned to spread this good living condition to the whole country. Therefore, the Chinese Defense Forces have already begun to change their equipment.
First of all, the "Death Scythe" has begun to equip the troops, although everyone likes to call them "tank nannies". It belongs to the tracked infantry fighting vehicle, which accompanies tank operations and provides equipment for light fire support.
As you know, tanks are often used in attacks because in complex battlefield environments, infantry must protect the flanks of tanks and assist tanks in resisting enemy infantry close-quarters attacks.
But with this kind of "tank nanny", when the tank charges, you don't have to worry too much about the opponent's "human bomb", or "dog meat bomb". The former is a trick often used by the Japanese against American tanks in World War II, and the latter is the method used by the Soviet army against German tank groups on the Soviet-German battlefield in the same war.
But when they face the tank nanny, this tactic is outdated.
The two 7.62mm turn-tube machine guns on top of the tank not only provide close fire support for the tank, but also provide the tank with a means of close air defense. As for the man or dog who tries to sacrifice himself to blow up the tank, unless he can rush through the two six-barreled machine guns on the Death Scythe, then give it a try.
The S-1 Grim Reaper was added to all tank units, and they numbered 1/3 of the tanks, i.e. each tank platoon consisted of three tanks and two S-1 armored vehicles. One salvo of such a tank platoon changed from 5 37-mm tank shells to 3 37-mm shells and another 16 50-mm rockets.
In addition, the new armament also includes assault guns equipped for assault regiments in hoplite divisions, replacing half of the tanks, with 75-mm cannons as the main armament. It uses the chassis of the Gray Wolf tank, the turret cannot be rotated, and is modeled after the Gepard self-propelled gun used by the German army in World War II.
Since the cost of manufacturing the assault gun was only 1/5 of the cost of manufacturing a tank, in order to maintain a strong strike firepower without increasing the number of tanks, this assault gun was put into use in the expansion of the second hoplite division.
As you know, when a tank attacks, its shells need high muzzle velocity and high penetration. And when bombarding enemy fortifications, trenches, and even firing at the enemy's artillery, tank guns were clearly not the best choice, which gave rise to this weapon. Of course, the S-1 armored car's modification "Reaper's Scythe-2", the S-2 armored car is not lacking in hoplites, and they have the same mission as the "Reaper Scythe S-1" in tank divisions, which has the mission of protecting the assault force.
The difference between these two armored vehicles is that in order to carry the infantry, the S-2 uses an armored vehicle chassis with a front-mounted power plant (the tank is rear-mounted). And only a 7.62 mm 6-barreled Gatling gun was used to provide fire support. As for the rocket launchers on both sides, they are exactly the same.
These machine guns were made with a modified barrel of the German Mauser rifle, which had been obsolete. In addition, there is a considerable stock of old 7.62mm rifle cartridges, so this machine gun has a very cost-effective ratio.
The 12.7 mm machine gun that will be reequipped in the future is indeed a bit too cruel to deal with the enemy who is also Chinese, after all, this is a civil war, and it is better to have fewer deaths. If it is to kill foreigners, it is a different matter.
Because of this equipment, it was shown once in the face of the anti-Chinese storm of the Indonesians, and it will not be elaborated on here.
You may say that the equipment of the "Chinese National Defense Forces" has completely surpassed all the equipment in the world at this time, and it is necessary to further strengthen their firepower?
I would say that this is a very stupid idea in the face of war.
In this era, generals still stuck in valuing the role of veterans. But just think about the wars in our world today, some countries have to maintain a large number of standing armies because of the low quality of individual soldiers, which has caused a huge burden on the economy.
And some countries, in addition to making ordinary infantry specialized, have been using science and technology to strengthen the ability of individual soldiers, which means is better?
For example, some say that a pilot is worth as much gold as he weighs, but others say that the best special forces are made of diamonds of his weight. This can only show that well-trained veterans who have experienced war are more valuable assets.
So sacrifice is not necessary, if it can be solved with money, without having to pay more soldiers' lives, then it is worth it. Using battle-hardened veterans to deal with the opponent's recruits has always had an intangible great value.
Therefore, the "Chinese National Defense Forces" are always striving to increase the intensity of the army's firepower, including the means of protecting the soldiers. As for the plasma, it has been taken on a large scale on the bodies of Japanese war criminals who are serving hard labor, and to put it bluntly, this gang of dogs is now cans.
Plasma, morphine, white medicine, and antibiotics being studied will be the four major battlefield life-saving weapons for the soldiers. And these last three components of personal ambulance supplies have been equipped with troops. It will give soldiers a greater chance of survival, and veterans on the battlefield will always be the most valuable wealth of the army.
To this end, in parallel with the replacement of armored units, the protective equipment on the infantry was also replaced. The original 5 mm thick armor steel plate on the front and back of the chest has also been prepared for the composite of steel plate and fiberglass. Between the two layers of 2 mm cold-rolled steel plate, a layer of 3 mm thick FRP is sandwiched, which reduces the reloading and increases the protection at the same time.
In addition, knee pads and elbow pads with FRP as the main material to protect soldiers' joints have also been equipped.
The improved equipment also includes the airship at this time, which has been changed from fuel oil to charcoal generator, and for more information, please see the clumsy work "Nanming Wind and Rain".
While this will slow down the airship, the advantage of using charcoal pellets on the airship is that it's something that can be used anywhere, anywhere in the world for emergency fuel.
Another big advantage is that compared to gasoline engines, the pollution is much smaller. In particular, Japan used timber to compensate for war reparations, and Korea also has almost inexhaustible forests, so it is a pity to keep them behind.
This also means that the application of airships in China will be more extensive and the number will be larger, why is this? It may take 10 years to find out.

The above is about the changes in heavy weapons, but what about light weapons? The biggest change in practice this time is light weapons, which will be phased out for use by regional security forces, or used by the German forces on Irian Island, which mainly engaged in jungle warfare.
As for infantry weapons, let's start with machine guns.
As an infantry squad, in addition to snipers, the squad leader is most valued by machine gunners. In the past, the machine gunner and the co-shooter were arguably the most tiring jobs in the infantry squad, but because they were responsible for the fire support of the entire infantry squad, they must have been trusted by the squad leader.
In the past, the "Chinese National Defense Forces" used the Lewis light machine gun equipped by the French army, and the thick gun body was equipped with a round disc ammunition feeder, and when it came to modern warfare, we had seen the descendants of this machine gun in the Soviet army. This kind of gun often flashes its figure in the course of engaging in US aid to Korea.
It was this heavy, sluggish machine gun that the CDF used. At that time, in wartime Europe, due to the urgency of time, it had to be based on the Lewis light machine gun used by the French army, and the emergency product was manufactured after preliminary weight reduction.
Even so, this bulky air-cooled machine gun also provided good cover for soldiers using submachine guns and M-1 short assault rifles in the operation of Thunder International's troops at the time.
Although the effectiveness of this machine gun is not bad, it still weighs an uncomfortable 12 kilograms, and if you add bullets, even if you have a machine gun crew of two, it is still a very hard job.
So, in Mike. After Lang began to preside over the production of the munitions factory in Batavia, all the new weapons began to be developed and produced at that time, and it has been a full year and a half since today, and you can see what kind of god it will take to appear in the next chapter!
