Chapter Eighty-Seven: Anti-Tank Gun Reform

In World War II, because of the actual needs of the war, the Soviet army finally used Mosin Nagant as a mass-produced light weapon. Before the outbreak of the war, the Soviet military had envisaged equipping entire units with semi-automatic weapons, but the huge logistical attrition caused the Soviet army to abandon it.

Such as the SVT40 semi-automatic rifle, the Soviet army could only be equipped on a small scale. After all, the Soviet Union could not match the monster industrial capacity of the United States, and indeed only the terrible logistics capacity of the United States could support the entire army to replace it with semi-automatic weapons.

Yang Mingzhi led the two girls to the shooting range, where a group of militiamen was organizing shooting training.

Yevlov hoped that the militia units would quickly train into the new backbone of the troops, and that they would have to master good shooting skills. When he saw Berekov's sudden visit, he was about to say hello, only to find that the man was carrying a huge weapon.

Yang Mingzhi raised his right hand to say hello.

Yevlov was stunned, took another puff of his cigarette and asked: "I heard that you are going to change your girl with a new weapon, is your so-called new weapon an anti-tank gun?" ”

"That's right, it's this thing. The weak girl needs more violent weapons to fight her enemies and protect herself. Yang Mingzhi put the anti-tank gun on the ground and glanced at the girls behind him.

The wooden box containing the ammunition was placed next to the anti-tank gun, and Yang Mingzhi opened the lid of the box, took out a bullet, and very skillfully stuffed the huge bullet into the chamber of the gun, and he ordered a militia soldier to get out of the way. The bipod of the huge weapon had been unfolded and rested on top of the sack.

Yang Mingzhi's behavior attracted the attention of many people, and he simply wanted to shoot at the target.

"What? Do you want to try the weapon's performance now? Yevlov asked.

"Yes, try the blacksmith village reload. IF I THINK IT'S OKAY, LET THE GIRLS USE THIS ΠТРД IN THE FUTURE. “

Yang Mingzhi wanted to try it himself and try the strength of this anti-tank gun. He knew that this weapon had exaggerated power, and it must also have exaggerated recoil.

Of course, when Simonov designed it, it was to avoid anti-tank guns such as the First World War, where the huge recoil shattered the shooter's shoulder blades. He used a number of countermeasures, such as an efficient muzzle retractor and a barrel system capable of 65mm cushioning.

The weapon Yang Mingzhi held was not equipped with a scope, so he could only aim at the target from the mechanical point on the side of the gun.

Just as he was about to shoot, he immediately turned his head and ordered the onlookers to back off. Star fruit obviously showed a worried expression, and Yang Mingzhi made a victorious scissor hand, full of confidence.

"Well, now is the time to witness the miracle." Yang Mingzhi roared angrily, aimed at the target in a half-kneeling position, and gently pulled the trigger.

With a bang, the wooden plank that was the target was completely shattered. The recoil is indeed not small, and Yang Mingzhi himself felt that he was pushed hard by the butt of this gun. "It's a mat with rubber and springs, and it's just a piece of wood, and you might get hurt." Yang Mingzhi estimated that it was really difficult for the girls to use this thing.

He turned his head to look at everyone, only to find that his comrades were dumbfounded.

"It's barbaric, this plank is shattered. Is this bullet a bomb! Surprised, Yevlov crouched down to the ammunition box and examined the bullets made in the blacksmith village.

Yang Mingzhi put down the gun and withdrew the bullet case, this thing can still be used once. He stood up and shook the dust off his body, looking very satisfied, and said to the curious Yevlov: "Our friend, Guskov and his men in the village of blacksmiths do have a set. Due to the conditions, they could not produce tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, which are very reliable if they fight infantry. ”

"Could it be that this is what you are for, to fight the infantry with anti-tank guns?"

"Yes, this gun will have to be used by my girls sooner or later, but not to-day, I have to go to the blacksmith village, and I have decided to stay there for at least a day. For the rest, I asked Besica and Natasha to use SVT rifles and put the PU scope on. Yevlov, you should train our snipers well. ”

Yang Mingzhi asked the two girls a few more words, and the star fruit was obviously a little reluctant, and there were a lot of questions. Yang Mingzhi pinched her little face: "I have to go for at least one day, and maybe stay for a few more days." I'm going to have to design some new parts for you to mount on the rifle, and when I get back, you and Natasha will have to learn how to use and maintain SVT properly. ”

"Okay, husband, I take orders."

"Good." Yang Mingzhi called the two girls in front of him, "You two take care of each other when I'm away." Natasha, I command you to be with Besica at night when you go to bed, I'm afraid she's scared. ”

The two girls laughed, and all that was left was more rigorous shooting training.

In the afternoon, Yang Mingzhi and a few retinues went to the blacksmith village, and by the evening they had already arrived. Here in the blacksmith village learned about the situation by radio, and Rygushkov warmly welcomed the visit of friends.

He gave a batch of valuable gifts, all of which were rockets.

Yang Mingzhi confidently looked at these weapons, and they had made some improvements. The charge was replaced with a high-energy explosive obtained by disassembling the German artillery shells, so that the missile became smaller and more powerful, and in a better case, the missile flew more smoothly. But the ignition still proves that this thing is a monkey that can kill people on a large scale - it is still ignited by an external fuse.

Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied with these conditions, and he reported to the village the reloading of the anti-tank guns, and the results were gratifying.

Yang Mingzhi hurried up, he didn't drink any wine at dinner in the evening, and he also prevented the village chief from pouring himself into himself.

"This time, I'm asking you to make some parts."

"Parts? What parts? ”

"Parts on the rifle. I want a muzzle detractor for a new anti-tank gun, as well as a flame suppressor and reducer for a rifle. "What Yang Mingzhi said is a bit profound, after all, the workers here have no design experts, and the village chief refused at first.

Yang Mingzhi volunteered, "I am a designer myself, and I am very experienced in designing weapons. That night, he picked up paper and pen and gave an order to the head of the blacksmith village to start working according to the blueprints early tomorrow morning.

As a person with foresight and knowledge ahead of his time, Yang Mingzhi was very interested in changing the anti-tank gun to something like Barrett. Due to the conditions, he could only modify the original basis of the weapon, so he decided to install the kind of double-channel detractor on the anti-tank gun, which would inevitably have a better effect.

The SVT rifle did the same, and Yang Mingzhi was well aware of some of the disadvantages of this rifle, such as the fact that the muzzle flame was too large when firing. The flame suppressor and the brake were to be manufactured together, and the design scheme was very simple, which was the result of the invention of the Soviet Union thirty years later - that is, the kind of flame suppressor of the AK74.

Drawing drawings is Yang Mingzhi's old business, and the two drawings have been revised several times, and he did not complete the results until it was almost dawn.

The drawings were handed over to those masters to make, and Yang Mingzhi didn't care about the rest, and he fell asleep with a lot of energy.

Yang Mingzhi stayed in the blacksmith village for three days, and he was very worried about the impatience of his relatives in the catfish village, so he had no choice but to use the radio to communicate with the star fruit for a limited time. "Peach, my new parts will be completed soon, and the recoil of those two firearms will be negligible in the future, and a little girl like you and Natasha can operate it perfectly."

It is inevitably impossible to process only one workpiece, ten for each of the two weapons, and if the effect is outstanding, then mass production, and replace all anti-tank guns with new brakes.

Three days passed, and Yang Mingzhi walked with the convoy that delivered ammunition to the catfish village barracks. Several fighters carried wooden boxes, which contained weapon parts.

returned to Catfish Village, Yang Mingzhi was certainly hugging his wife. Both Star Fruit and Natasha were very emotional, eager to show off the shooting skills they had learned.

Seeing is still better than all praise, Yang Mingzhi watched the performance of the two girls with great interest. Right above the range, the two men shot in a lying position, armed with SVT rifles. The girls skillfully reload the magazines and stuff them into the chambers.

They performed very well, Yang Mingzhi watched while listening to Yevlov's words. In the so-called past few days, Natasha's performance has been very eye-catching, and Besika has come from behind.

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Natasha can get the title of Hero of the Soviet Union in the future, she just needs to cash in well." ”

The two children hit the target very well, their marksmanship was very good, and all the bullets hit the target accurately.

Yang Mingzhi beckoned them to stop, took out a special metal pipe from the wooden box and displayed it. "These are the special parts I am talking about, as long as this is mounted on the muzzle, it can greatly reduce the recoil and suppress the muzzle flame to a minimum."

He handed out two flame suppressors to the girl, and the two of them were surprised to find that they stuck well in the muzzle of the gun. After a new round of target shooting, a miracle happened.

"This one simply has no recoil, and the gunfire has been lowered a lot!" Natasha said in surprise.

"That's right! The flames don't seem to be at all. ”

The situation of the two was seen by the onlookers, and Yevlov saw it really. He pointed to the anti-tank gun on the side, "Berekov, it's time to show you another invention." ”

"Okay!" Yang Mingzhi hurriedly dismantled the original brake of the anti-tank gun and replaced it with a new one. He was so confident that he intended to make star fruit a shooter. Although Yevlov did not want a lovely girl, Carambola clearly trusted her husband.

Under Yang Mingzhi's hand-in-hand education, she shot in a lying position. Yang Mingzhi was lying next to the star fruit, with his arm around the girl, and a big hand holding the girl's small hand. "Now you don't have to be afraid of anything, relax your body and feel the charm of the weapon. Let's just pull the trigger together. ”

"Yes, husband." Carambola felt good in her heart, and the two pulled the trigger at the same time. The girl visibly felt a gentle shaking on her shoulder, and both of them saw it so vividly that the plank that was the target was smashed to pieces!

The onlookers were excited, shouting Ulla one by one. The fighters understood perfectly well that a skinny girl could operate an anti-tank gun, and all because the deputy division commander installed new types of parts. This new improvement shows that the recoil of this weapon has been minimal, and it is not what was previously called "the warrior can endure", and it is obvious that the attack on the enemy's tanks will be carried out later. In the absence of RPG weapons, the anti-tank gun will be a sharp weapon, but fortunately, its recoil is already minimal, and the fighters do not have to worry about anything more.

Yang Mingzhi distributed ten new muzzle brakes, armed ten anti-tank guns, and ordered the blacksmith village to continue production.

He knew that even if it could not produce RPGs, the "Sky Monkey", a bazooka copied from Bazooka's bazooka and a new type of anti-tank gun, had already made the troops have considerable anti-tank capabilities. Isn't it their powerful blitzkrieg and tank forces that are rampant in the Germans, and now new weapons have given ordinary infantry the ability to destroy tanks single-handedly.

He ordered the girls to continue training, and for this day's training, star fruit contacted SVT's shooting, while Natasha was ordered to run out of anti-tank gun bullets.

"You guys do a good job, and I'll cook a delicious meal for both of you in the evening."
