Making his own rifle is the task that Zhang Ran gave to Gai Heiliang as soon as possible!

Speaking of which, the detachment now has thousands of guns of all kinds, and it seems that there is no need to make guns in such a hurry at all.

But Zhang Ran doesn't see it that way!

Although the detachment has thousands of guns of various kinds, these guns are varied!

There are also good ones, such as the detachment's own three-eight big covers, medium formalities, etc., which can be regarded as good guns when placed there!

But in addition to these, the rest of the guns, such as those used by the guerrillas and militias, are a bit unsightly - Hanyang made Fengtian and Jin, old Mauser and old sleeve singles, everything......

These guns not only have a variety of calibers, but some of them have been smoothed out, and the bullets will not fly straight when they are shot!

With such a gun, how much combat effectiveness can be guaranteed?

If you can build guns yourself, you can not only improve the equipment level of each unit, but also reduce the pressure on ammunition replenishment after unifying the caliber, which can be said to be a few in one fell swoop!

Of course, in addition to these reasons, the most fundamental reason is that even if there are thousands of guns, the number of guns is still far from enough!

In the base areas alone, half of the militia still do not have their own guns, not to mention the guerrillas everywhere and how big a gap there is in the weapons in the hands of the militia in the guerrilla areas!

What's more, Zhang Ran will always remember one thing, that is, this war is a war for the whole people!

It is a war that every country that wants to live, does not want to be enslaved, and is oppressed should participate in it!

Now, half of the country has fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Although some people took refuge in the Japanese and became traitors and lackeys, this was only a very small part of all the ordinary people in the Japanese-occupied areas!

The rest of the people, they did not treat the Japanese as traitors and lackeys, but few of them stood up to resist - why?

It can be said that they are afraid of death, and it can be said that they just want to live in troubled times!

But the most fundamental reason is that they don't have weapons in their hands!

Without weapons, to stand up and face the Japanese who are armed to the teeth is to look for death!

Zhang Ran clearly remembers the plot of a movie he once watched!

Somewhere, under the oppression of a powerful lord, a group of people robbed the lord of the money and food and gave it to the villagers, but the lord just let the carriage go out for a turn, and the food that was given to the people was all returned to the lord's hands!

Why?

Because the common people are afraid!

They know that they have no ability to protect this money and food, and if they don't hand it over, if the master goes crazy, they will all die!

But later, when the group of people snatched the master's gun and gave it to the common people, the common people never handed it over again!

Because they have weapons in their hands, they have the confidence to resist!

It's okay not to push them into a hurry, but once they are in a hurry, they will take these weapons and fight hard!

Zhang Ran really wants to see if this scene will happen here!

He can be sure that once everyone has weapons and everyone participates in this war, even if the little devils have three heads and six arms, they will only be greeted by the end of the road!

Today's rifles, both in structure and appearance, are actually much the same, and they are all single-shot tethered rifles.

After firing, you need to manually exit the shell and kick up to fire again.

The real technological revolution would not be until a few years later when the European theater of war began, and the Yankees joined the crowd with the Garand rifle, at least, the first semi-automatic weapon to be massively equipped and used.

The Garand rifle abandons the traditional tethered upward structure, after the bullet is raised, the airflow generated by the firing is used to push the gun parts in reverse to complete the action of throwing out the cartridge case and stepping up for the second time.

In this way, the continuity of rifle combat firepower was greatly enhanced, thus helping the Yankees to show off their might on the battlefield of World War II.

It can be said that without the Garand rifle, there may not be the superpower that decades later, pointing fingers at other countries and no one can do anything about it!

But Zhang Ran did not ask Gai Heiliang to develop a semi-automatic rifle.

Because the semi-automatic rifle is indeed fierce and the rate of fire is fast, it can use up a magazine with a single shot from the tethered rifle, and it can carry out all-round fire suppression on the team using the tethered rifle at any time......

But!

The firepower of a semi-automatic rifle, which is piled up with bullet consumption!

The reason why the U.S. military was able to massively equip semi-automatic Garand rifles on the battlefields of World War II a few years later was because behind these American GIs there was a powerful industrial country to back them up, and they didn't need to worry about how much bullets were consumed!

But on the side of the detachment, it is obviously not good!

Not to mention that the output of the detachment's ammunition department cannot keep up with the ammunition consumption of semi-automatic rifles, let's just say that the detachment's small copper mine in Jianzi Mountain, coupled with the broken copper and iron looted by the surrounding villagers and teams...... The copper needed alone is not enough!

Therefore, what is in front of Zhang Ran is still a well-behaved and unsurprising rifle!

It has the meaning of imitating the little devil's 38 big cover, but it should be the quality of steel, and the reason why it is hand-forged rather than mechanical, the barrel is obviously thicker than the standard rifle, and the weight is slightly heavier!

Zhang Ran's first look is at the barrel chambering!

The mechanical tools of the detachment, Zhang Ran knows it well, and at present, it does not have the ability to bore rifling at all!

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have endured the urge to kill Gao Jin and the others, and the impulse to avenge Yang Xin, the intelligence officer of the intelligence group, would kill Gao Jin and other arms dealers, but instead cooperated with them generously, and the first request was to let them help buy a lathe for rifling!

Although the gun can complete the action of shooting and killing the enemy with or without rifling, the impact on the gun with or without rifling is fatal!

Yesterday's guns were not rifled, that is, smoothbore!

Therefore, in the early days, armies equipped with smoothbore guns often formed a firing phalanx, using a stupid-looking way of fighting, two groups of people lined up in an uncovered formation in the open space, banging and banging together......

The most fundamental reason is that because the smoothbore gun has no rifling, the flight trajectory of the shot cannot be controlled at all, and the shooting density can only be used to increase the lethality!

The appearance of rifling makes the bullet rotate forcibly to ensure that the bullet can fly in a straight line after being discharged......

This is where the modern rifle appeared.

As Zhang Ran expected, the rifling of the inner chamber of the barrel is a mess!

"It's Master Niu, Master Cheng, they have wasted all their strength, and they are almost completely out of a handmade car!" Gai Heiliang said with a moving expression.

Zhang Ran didn't have to think about it, and he knew how much time and hard work it took to manually turn out the entire rifling wire in a barrel that was nearly a meter long and only a few millimeters in diameter!

But this does not mean that he can tolerate the detachment's own rifles only at such a level!

"You can hit it, and the accuracy is not bad!"

Gai Heiliang hurriedly swore an assurance, and pulled in a sharpshooter waiting outside the door to testify against him.

"The trajectory deflection is less than three centimeters within 100 meters, and more than ten centimeters beyond 300 meters - if you are lucky, and if you are familiar enough with the gun, you can indeed use ......"

The sharpshooter swore that as long as Zhang Ran gave himself time to adapt to the performance of the gun and had enough control of the trajectory of the bullet's flight, it should still be easy to kill the enemy within 300 meters......

"Roll ......"

Zhang Ran kicked out the coaxing sharpshooter with his angry feet, and said in his heart that you are a sharpshooter, but do you think everyone can be a sharpshooter?

Also master the performance to correct the ballistic offset yourself......

If you really have this ability, then the little devil will come to China to die, and invade a yarn!

"Captain, we've really done our best......"

Gai Heiliang looked at Zhang Ran with a sad face that had failed to live up to his trust and said: "In other places, we can still change problems if there are problems, but in terms of rifling, with the current industrial level of the detachment, it is estimated that there is not much room for improvement......

“……”

Zhang Ran was depressed, and said in his heart, Lao Gai, you will also be a big man who will go down in history in the future, okay, don't you want to cry to me now, right?

Of course, Zhang Ran actually knows that even if Gai Heiliang really cries, it is not because he is crying, but because he feels sad that he has not made enough contributions......

People in this year are no better than in decades.

Decades later, everyone who has a little ability has run abroad, thinking that eating abroad is the same as fragrant.

If you don't have the ability to go abroad, you can't go abroad, so you envy on the keyboard, and look at the moon in another country as rounder than a pie, feeling that the country is simply not a place for people to stay......

In these years, people who are really capable, even if they are abroad, many of them have sharpened their heads and want to come back!

It's not that they don't know how bitter the country is, it's not that they don't know that the war in the country is raging, and they may die at any time!

But they still came back in every possible way!

Because they know that this is the time of life and death for the nation, and the motherland needs itself!

Gaiheliang is one of them.

In the chairman's army before, he couldn't show his ability, and he was about to suffer internal injuries all day long......

And now, in the detachment, I can finally show my strengths, but the result does not meet expectations!

How sad and sad I am, and how disappointed I am in myself, you can imagine it!

Zhang Ran sighed in his heart with the generosity and enthusiasm of countless people of insight like Gai Heiliang, he knew that if it weren't for them, the fortunate and beautiful world in the future would not have appeared, and which keyboard warriors would probably have no real ability to play the keyboard......

But Zhang Ran still doesn't want to see Gai Heiliang's current appearance!

He wants real heroes to look like heroes!

So he immediately snorted: "Gaigong, are you disgusted that the infrastructure of my detachment is too poor to meet your requirements for displaying your talents?" If you feel too wronged in my detachment, then you can leave at any time - I will not stop you! ”

"Captain, that's not what I meant!"

Gai Heiliang was taken aback, and repeatedly stated that he was by no means dissatisfied with the foundation of the detachment.

"Since it's not a grievance, cheer up!"

Zhang Ran said with a gloomy face: "If there are difficulties, let's solve them and face them, instead of hanging our heads and complaining about difficulties as soon as we encounter difficulties!" ”

Gai Heiliang nodded vigorously, as if there was some kind of determination in his heart!

"That's right!"

Zhang Ran saw that Gai Heiliang had woken up, and he changed his face when he knocked a stick to give him a radish way, and happily patted Gai Heiliang's shoulder and said: "In terms of rifling, you don't care, I'll find a way here, and you guys over there, make more barrel backups - not only rifles, but also machine guns, especially the Czech type, should also step up research and development!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Gai Heiliang was a stand-up again, and immediately went out to the back mountain, redoubled his enthusiasm for work, and continued to devote himself to work.
