Unexpectedly, Wang Kefan attached so much importance to the stabbing technique, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the short five-six-style spear again, only to find that its shape was very unique, full of bloodthirsty atmosphere.

Five or six type spear stabbing has no ancillary function except for killing, but it has achieved the ultimate in lethality, a military general like Gu Zongfu who knows goods immediately saw its value, took a bayonet and looked at it carefully, and gently stroked the sharp edge with his fingers, as if caressing his lover's skin, his eyes flashed with joy, and his mouth was full of praise.

"This thing is not ordinary, it is estimated that even a single-layer mountain armor can be pierced, even if it is used to stab a horse, there is no problem, a shot is a big hole, and a thousand catties of healthy horses can't carry it......"

A hint of eagerness flashed in Wang Yi's eyes, and he turned his head to Wang Kefan and asked, "Isn't the competition of stabbing a marksmanship?" ”

Wang Kefan glared at him: "When the musket team was established, the sharpshooters of each battalion were all swept away by you, are you embarrassed to compare marksmanship with everyone?" ”

Everyone will not use muskets with bayonets to stab, of course, it is the fairest to compete on the same starting line, Gu Zongfu and others immediately clamored for help, agreed with Wang Kefan's decision, and accused Wang Yi of being too selfish and cunning.

Wang Yi's face flushed, and he defended: "I don't mean that, the musketeers should still focus on marksmanship, and only by hitting accurately can they give full play to the power of the flintlock musket, the formation of the musketeers is thin and loose, although this kind of bayonet can also be used as a spearman, but there is no corresponding battle formation." You can't exert your power......"

In this era, hand-to-hand combat required formation, and arquebuses used open flames. The soldiers carried all kinds of flammable materials, and in order to avoid accidents, the distance between the musketeers was relatively loose, and it was difficult to line up immediately after the shot, so it was impossible to exert the power of bayonets in white-knuckle combat.

In Wang Yi's view, this kind of bayonet is just a good thing, and it has no great actual combat value. A musket is a musket, and a flintlock pistol has a long range and great power. Reloading is fast, and it is natural that the musket team with the highest level of shooting should be given priority.

However, Wang Kefan's answer left him speechless: "The formation of the flintlock pistol is not too loose!" ”

Oh, yes! Wang Yi has seen many times how the Portuguese soldiers used flintlock pistols, because there are no flammable materials such as open flame primer fire ropes. The Portuguese soldiers were much more closely formed. In addition to being more intensely firepowered, it is also more convenient to form arrays...... He couldn't help but pick up a bayonet and put it on the flintlock pistol twice, judging in his heart the actual combat value of this weapon.

"The length of the spear is still too short, and the weight is too heavy, if you really face the pikemen, I'm afraid there is not much chance of victory." He didn't deliberately find fault, but was responsible for the musket team. Look at what Wang Kefan means. This bayonet was placed in great importance, and the tactics of the musketeers were probably to be adjusted accordingly. If this tactic itself has serious flaws, it will pay for blood on the battlefield in the future.

"You're right!" Wang Kefan admired his serious attitude and explained: "Even if the musket team is equipped with bayonets, it cannot deal with the pikemen in formation, so it will not be used to charge the formation, and the main role of this bayonet is also to defend, to deal with the Tartar axemen, shield bearers and cavalry, etc." In addition, I have also prepared a set of special stabbing marksmanship, which I will teach you later. ”

The People's Liberation Army's stabbing skills have been tempered thousands of times, not only practical, but also concise and easy to learn, the most suitable for this kind of flintlock pistol, in the white-knuckle fight, several soldiers combined to form a stabbing team, can resist several times the enemy's encirclement and attack, resist the fierce charge of the Qing army.

Speaking of which, everyone understands how much Wang Kefan attaches great importance to this fierce bayonet, and his expectations for it have been raised a few points.

But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, no matter how good the flintlock pistol with bayonets is, it can only produce more than 800 pieces a year, except for the lucky ones who won the all-army competition, the other battalions want to change their clothes, it seems that it is still a distant thing.

As if to see through their minds, Wang Kefan said again: "It seems that you still have some opinions on standardized production, and you always feel that this is six fingers tickling, isn't it an extra move?" But have you ever thought about it, after the implementation of standardized production, each craftsman is only responsible for one process of making flintlock pistols, a part, nothing needs to be hidden anymore, each craftsman can easily bring out dozens or hundreds of apprentices, and the scale of production will become larger and larger......"

His explanation was relatively beyond this era, some generals seemed to understand it or not, but Cheng Wen and Teng Shuanglin understood more, and asked Fang Zhengzheng in a low voice, with a look of excitement after enlightenment on his face. Assembly line operation, standardized production, is the essence of modern industry, even if it is pure handmade products, can also be used in this way to quickly expand the scale of production, greatly increase the output.

Tan Xiao was a rough line, too lazy to explore the meaning, only cared about the final result, and asked: "Listen to the meaning of the words of the military gate, the flintlock pistol will be made faster in the future, isn't it?" ”

Wang Kefan said: "Yes, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, this is the principle of accumulation, the beginning of half a year is slower, and it will be faster and faster in the future, and it is expected to enter the large-scale production period after a year." Another year to issue new guns to the whole army. ”

Tan Xiao nodded again and again, and said to Wang Yi seriously: "Oh, I understand, little Wang Yi, you only have to wait two years at most before you can use a new gun." ”

Wang Yi sneered: "At most, a year and a half, let's see you in the martial arts arena, I can always be at the front of the Yuezhou camp!" ”

Seeing the fighting spirit of the two of them, the generals laughed for a while, Wang Jing stepped forward and saluted Wang Kefan, and said: "Qiqi Junmen, although the flintlock pistol was not produced for a while, the repair institute also created another new gun, which is powerful and can make up for this gap." ”

Another new gun? Wang Kefan didn't know about this matter in advance, but it was really a surprise, with the flintlock pistol Zhuyu in front, the generals were also full of expectations for the new gun.

In order to strengthen the effect of today's treasure offering, Wang Jing kept the new gun strictly secret in advance, and also made a lot of preparations, seeing that everyone's appetite was hanged, he was secretly happy in his heart, and ordered his subordinates to rearrange the shooting range, and moved the target back by twenty steps.

So far! The target was now eighty paces away, and only a warrior with a strong bow could shoot at such a distance. (This is talking about the effective range of direct fire, that is, the "ballistic" height does not exceed the height of the target, so as to ensure accuracy and lethality, if you simply seek a distance, a strong bow at 45 degrees of upward fire, shooting two or three hundred meters is a simple thing.) ）

Wang Jing gave an order, and the two soldiers came up one after the other, carrying up a big guy, more than seven feet long, the barrel was thicker than a goose egg, and the huge butt looked very heavy.

Raise your gun! Seeing that unique appearance, Wang Kefan's heart immediately flashed a word, this is the favorite weapon of "my Qing Dynasty", and it was still used during the Anti-Japanese War.

Due to the limitations of technology, a hundred years later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty went into a misunderstanding in the research and development of muskets, blindly pursuing a long barrel to increase the range and accuracy, and making the gun thick and bulky to ensure that there would be no problems such as exploding.

This thing can be called a gun, can also be called a light artillery, the repair of the gun made of the gun weighs twenty-five pounds, the bullet is also two taels and one dollars in weight, like an oversized bird gun, because one person can not operate, to stand on the shoulder of the soldier in front of the shooting.

"Phew!"

At the sound of the gun, the target 80 paces away was accurately hit, and it could be clearly seen from the telescope that sawdust was splashed everywhere on the target, indicating that the power of the gun was very great, and all the generals widened their eyes in surprise, and praised this new gun one after another, praising Wang Jing with a smile.

Fang Zhengzheng was also very excited, and said, "Please give the military a name for the new gun." ”

Wang Kefan smiled faintly: "Let's call it a gun." ”

This name is very vivid, everyone agrees, as long as two people carry the gun, the mobility is not bad, but the power is very great, everyone is very interested in this weapon, and they ask Wang Jing about the production and use methods, etc.

The Repair Institute has been trying to improve the original bird guns last year, and the production technique of carrying guns has become relatively mature, and it can produce several hundred guns a month.

Wang Kefan poured a scoop of cold water.

"No, you can make some guns with guns, but you have to be behind the flintlock pistol, and you must not affect the production of flintlock pistols." He said: "The rate of fire of the gun is slow, and there is no means of self-protection after being close to the enemy, it can only be used as a kind of supplementary firepower, and cannot be equipped in large quantities in the Chu army......

There is a problem with the design concept of the lifting gun, it can barely be used in this era, but it is destined to be a weapon that will be eliminated soon, obviously there are more advanced flintlock pistols, Wang Kefan is unwilling to put limited resources into the production of lifting guns, and he does not want the Chu army to use this enhanced version of the arquebus.

"Yes! Be! Wang Jing's expression was a little embarrassed, he couldn't figure it out, Wang Kefan was not very interested in carrying guns, but fortunately, he was more or less allowed to produce some lifting guns, and the efforts of the repair institute were not in vain.

Wang Kefan also felt that his words were blunt, and he encouraged and exhorted a few words, Wang Jing's expression looked better, in the late Ming Dynasty, the bird gun was considered an advanced weapon, after all, it had its own advantages in carrying a gun, and the Chu army could be equipped with some.
