Chapter 142: Shrewd Calculation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The crushing donkey in Leizi's mouth is actually the nickname of the gun in the box, and the scientific name of that gun should be called Thompson submachine gun.
As early as 1921, one of the earliest models of the Thompson submachine gun was put on the market, and it can be said that it is one of the first submachine guns in the world, along with the flower machine. And compared to the older flower machine, Thompson's performance is significantly superior.
As for why Thompson has such an indecent name as "crushing the donkey", there is only one reason, and that is that it is too heavy. Don't look at it short and concise, but the weight is not ambiguous at all, the whole gun weighs 4.7 kilograms, and it is even heavier with the ammunition supply, especially Thompson's early models are mostly large drum feeds.
The weight of more than ten catties is heavier than a Hanyang-made, especially the use of submachine guns is more than commandos, and a lot of running is required during the battle, which invisibly increases the burden on people, and it is no wonder that it has the name of crushing the donkey. Of course, the flaws are not hidden, and in general the Thompson can be called a world-class excellent submachine gun.
Lei Zi looked at the submachine guns neatly placed in the box, it can be said that he was in ecstasy, and he wanted to sleep on the pillow more than this, he was just worried about weapons and equipment, and there was immediately a batch of brand-new submachine guns here, and the corners of Le's Lei Zi's mouth were about to grin to the root of his ears.
Yue Siliang looked at Lei Zi's reaction and was also amused.
"Leizi, don't you always complain to me? Say that it's time to change the weapons of the guard platoon. You see, this American submachine gun can be redressed by your guard platoon first, are you satisfied? ”
"Hehe, satisfied, so satisfied."
Lei Zimei nodded, a pair of big hands were rubbing together, and they didn't know where to put it.
"Alright, you kid don't suffocate anymore, hurry up and try the gun."
After Yue Siliang's words, Lei Zi's big hands grabbed the box like an eagle and a rabbit, and after grabbing a Thompson, Lei Zi immediately skillfully disassembled the ammunition supply, checked the magazine, and moved the bolt ...... A series of actions were carried out.
Watching Lei Zi skillfully inspect the firearm, Yue Siliang nodded with satisfaction. Thompson is also a submachine gun that Chinese soldiers are more familiar with, presumably as long as it goes through a period of running-in, and after the guard platoon adapts to the new weapon, the combat effectiveness will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
"Huh?"
Yue Siliang was thinking like this, when the thunderbolt who was holding the gun suddenly stopped and looked at the gun in his hand suspiciously.
"What's wrong, Reiko?"
Yue Siliang asked casually, and Lei Zi's answer surprised him.
"Commander, this shot is not right!"
Lei Zi's shout attracted Li Yuncheng and Di Hanming in the distance, and suddenly all of them surrounded him.
"What? Any questions? ”
It was Li Yuncheng who spoke, and he sent these weapons, and if there was really a problem, he would be responsible.
Lei Zi looked at the gun in his hand and looked at the muzzle of the gun twice before speaking.
"The caliber of this gun is wrong, I'm afraid that it is not a serious United States to crush the donkey."
"Huh? Is there anything wrong with this? ”
Di Hanming and Li Yuncheng didn't react at first when they heard Lei Zi say this, but Yue Siliang narrowed his eyes after hearing Lei Zi say this.
"Leizi, you go on."
"Well, the caliber of the serious American crushing donkey is 11.43 mm, but this gun, I took a look, and its caliber is definitely more than 12 mm."
As he spoke, Lei Zi crossed the crowd and turned out the bullets of the submachine gun, and after reading them repeatedly, he confirmed them.
Hearing Lei Zi say this, Li Yuncheng was even more confused. Strangely looked at Di Hanming, and found that the other party's eyes were also confused, so he asked Yue Siliang.
"Head Yue, does this have anything to do with it? Maybe it's just the different model of the gun, right? Even if there is a difference in caliber, it shouldn't hinder the use of guns, right? ”
Yue Siliang also took out a gun when Lei Zi was looking for a bullet, and when he heard Li Yuncheng's question, he put down the gun and replied.
"Director Li, it's not that guns of special calibers can't be used, its biggest problem is that it will cause a burden on logistics. The 11.43 mm submachine gun used the 11.43 mm American Colt pistol cartridge, which is very common and easy to replenish.
Just like the flower mechanism used by the guard platoon now, the German 9mm Parabellum pistol cartridge is used, which is also easy to replenish.
However, this batch of submachine guns has a special caliber, so it is necessary to use special bullets of more than 12 mm. This inevitably places a burden on our logistics. Now our own arsenal is just getting started, and it is not destined to be possible to produce this particular bullet specifically for us. That is, when there are such bullets, they are submachine guns, and if they run out of bullets, then they are just a few dozen burning sticks. ”
Li Yuncheng and Di Hanming suddenly realized after listening to Yue Siliang explain these things in detail, and Li Yuncheng then said with some annoyance.
"Alas, it seems that this old Jiang really doesn't forget to guard against us at all times, and even when he sends equipment, he has to use ammunition to restrain us, and in the end he still has to rely on himself."
Yue Siliang shook his head.
"No, this matter really can't let Lao Jiang carry the black cauldron, I'm afraid it's Yan Laoxi's calculations."
After saying that, Yue Siliang pulled the two of them over.
"Many Thompson submachine guns have been copied in China, and one of the most famous ones is Yan Laoxi, and in terms of quantity, there are many imitations by Yan Laoxi. Another point is that it can be seen from the seal on the case that the box containing the submachine gun has been opened, which means that the submachine gun is likely to have been dropped. ”
Yue Siliang said firmly, looking at the nail eye on the lid of the box, he could clearly feel that the middle of these boxes had been opened and then sealed again.
"Ahh I remembered that this batch of weapons was transferred to us by the logistics department of the Jin Sui Army, so it seems that it should be the bag that was dropped when the Jin Sui Army passed over! ”
Li Yuncheng thought of this detail when Yue Siliang said this, and immediately felt that he had been fooled, and he stomped his feet with hatred, and something went wrong in the middle of the weapon, which made him, the person responsible in the middle, feel very uncomfortable.
However, Di Hanming did not react as seriously as Li Yuncheng, but calmly asked people to carefully check the other equipment. Upon inspection, it was found that none of the weapons had been tampered with, except for the submachine guns.
"No, if Yan Laoxi wanted to suppress us, he could have used all the weapons, but he didn't do this, what's the point of engaging in these small actions?"
There was a small mistake with the weapon, which obviously everyone didn't want, and it wasn't Li Yuncheng's responsibility. Therefore, Di Hanming did not dwell on anything too much, but began to analyze Jin Suijun's intention to do so.
"Yan Laoxi only did something to the submachine gun, which shows that he obviously doesn't want to make things too ugly. Moreover, in this, he is afraid that he has other ideas. ”
After analyzing it, Yue Siliang said slowly.
"As far as these guns themselves are concerned, they are actually well imitated, except that the bullets have to use the bullets of their Jin Suijun, there is no problem. In other words, Yan Laoxi didn't want to do anything to us, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to replace us with a batch of good guns, and he could have replaced us with a batch of broken guns. ”
"It makes sense, so what does he Yan Laoxi want to do?"
Di Hanming also thought about it after listening to Yue Siliang's analysis, and Li Yuncheng saw some eyebrows here.
Yan Laoxi has played his little abacus again, and as far as the submachine gun alone is concerned, it is completely insignificant. I can feel that Lao Xi'er doesn't want to tear his face, all he wants is to grab a small handle, what he wants is for us to use his bullets to restrain us like this. ”
"Director Li is right, Yan Laoxi's mixed brigade is about to come over, and he is doing this just to make an insurance, leave a reason for both sides to speak, and open the way for his mixed brigade."
Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Yue Siliang saw the crux of the problem at a glance.
"I have long felt that Yan Laoxi looks at his mixed brigade is not ordinary, and now when he looks at this brigade, it is really his heart. Now that everyone has sent the big baby over, then we really want to entertain them this time. ”
Yue Siliang said lightly, he is not a dumb loser, no matter what the reason, it is impossible for him to be calculated like this. The mixed third brigade has not yet entered Hebei, and Yan Laoxi gave him a dismount, and he simply used him as a soft persimmon to pinch.
"Commander, you can't come nonsense, we are now a united front."
Di Hanming was most familiar with Yue Siliang's temperament, and hurriedly took a preventive shot on the side. Yue Siliang just smiled at this, he was not a fool, he would not do anything too much.
"Regiment Commander, do we still use these guns?"
Lei Zi asked ghostly on the side, there were some small problems with this batch of submachine guns, which made him muttered a little in his heart.
"Yes, why not? People have brought guns to the door, why don't we use them? Didn't the 12-mm bullets get 20,000 rounds first? Let the warriors train with them first. ”
