"Phew!"

With a crisp gunshot, the target placed sixty paces away suddenly shook twice, Wang Kefan put down the flintlock pistol in his hand, knowing in his heart that this shot must have been there, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Ten Rings!"

The soldiers in charge of reporting the target climbed into the bunker, inspected the target, and then waved the flag to this side, and with a bang, the onlookers of the Gongyi battalion cheered loudly, smiled, and praised again and again, not praising Wang Junmen's marksmanship like a god, but congratulating the new flintlock pistol on the success of the imitation.

In the length measurement unit of the ancients, the so-called steps are all double steps, that is, the left and right feet take a step each, one step is about 1.3 meters, of course, this is also because the average height of the ancients is relatively short, if you change to a modern person, it is estimated that there will be 1.5 meters.

Sixty steps, about eighty meters away, has exceeded the effective range of the riding bow, and the ordinary foot bow is about the same, which means that the Ming army's imitation flintlock pistol has been able to replace the archers, with high combat value, the training and training of the musketeers considered is relatively simple, much easier than the archers, and the significance of the new flintlock pistol is even more important.

Wang Jing, the head of the repair office in charge of the flintlock pistol project, was surrounded by a group of people and asked various questions.

"Dr. Wang, can this shot go farther? How about seventy steps? ”

"Lao An, how many flintlock pistols can be made in a month? When will it be distributed to our Yuezhou camp? ”

"I heard that this flintlock pistol is not afraid of rain, is it true?"

……

Wang Kefan was concerned about something else, as he was trying out the bayonets for the flintlock pistol.

According to the existing technical conditions. These bayonets were copied from the Type 56 military stabs of our army, with a total length of 38 centimeters and a blade length of 32 centimeters. On the back side there was a 6-centimeter-long wooden handle that could be stuffed into the barrel of the flintlock pistol, and then the fastening of the bayonet was completed by tightening the buckle.

It was not impossible to nest the bayonet on the barrel, but the cost of each gun would increase significantly, and the stability of the bayonet would be affected. The effect was not ideal, and later reported to Wang Kefan for approval, and simply stuffed the handle of the bayonet into the barrel. The difficulty of the technique and the cost of manufacturing were greatly reduced, and the flintlock pistol with a bayonet was turned into a spear with actual combat effect.

It makes no sense to be too ahead of the times, and this flintlock pistol imitated by the Chu army belongs to the front-loading smoothbore gun, if the battle enters the hand-to-hand combat stage. Soldiers wield guns back and forth to fight the enemy. The gunpowder bullets inside will fall out of the chamber, and there is no possibility of firing again, so blocking the barrel will not affect the battle.

Wang Kefan played a little bad taste, this bayonet is also named the five or six type military stab, the appearance is very similar to the genuine type 56, the triangular blade is strong and strong, to make up for the lack of material technology in this era. Not only is the bayonet not easy to break, but it also pierces a hole. Wounds are difficult to bandage and heal.

There are three deep blood grooves on this bayonet, which can quickly introduce air after piercing the human body, forming a large amount of foam to block blood vessels, even if it does not hit the vital point, as long as the depth reaches about 8CM, the enemy can be killed immediately, and it can eliminate the negative pressure in the body cavity, and it is very easy to pull out the bayonet, which is a very practical killing weapon.

(After the Type 56 bayonet pierces the human body, it introduces air through the blood trough in a very short period of time, which will form air embolus in the blood vessels, block the blood vessels in the brain and produce circulatory disorders, which in turn causes the brain tissue to lack oxygen, and then quickly dies, well, that's basically the truth...... I specifically asked someone for advice, the Type 56 bayonet does not need to be stabbed in the heart, it is difficult to survive if it is stabbed in any place, it is a heavy hemorrhage in the upper artery, the stomach will bleed internally, the lungs are directly warped, and even the skull can be pierced, it is a very terrifying weapon. ）

After loading the bayonet, Wang Kefan tried a few standard assassination movements, and a familiar and intimate feeling surged in his heart. The only fly in the ointment is that this flintlock pistol is still too heavy, it is not very flexible to use, and some movements are deformed.

"It still needs to be improved, and the power of the bayonet must be fully utilized......"

Whether it is an arquebus or a flintlock pistol, it is a weapon with a short range and low rate of fire, and it is generally difficult to avoid entering white-knuckle warfare, so it must be protected by pikemen, and after loading the flintlock with a bayonet, the musketeer has also become a spearman, and has the ability to protect himself in white-knuckle warfare, and the tactics and tactics have become more flexible and more advanced.

In the previous battles, the formations of the Chu army were very complicated, with heavy weapons such as artillery in front, muskets and archers in the back, and cold weapons such as pikemen and shield bearers in the middle. If the soldiers of the Chu army were equipped with flintlock pistols equipped with bayonets, they could fight in a simple three-column horizontal column or two horizontal columns, and the soldiers fired a volley in a standing or kneeling position, and when they needed to maneuver in a roundabout way, they could quickly move to the best combat position and launch an attack on the enemy's weak points.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that mobility is one of the key factors that determine the outcome of a battle, and the invention of the bayonet changed the original tactics and provided the possibility of improving the mobility of the Chu army......

In the crowd, Wang Jing was answering everyone one by one.

"This flintlock pistol can hit a hundred paces away, seventy paces is of course not a problem, but the accuracy is much worse, seventy steps is thirty percent worse than sixty steps, so the first round of shooting is best placed at a distance of sixty paces."

"The repair institute is undergoing standardized production transformation, and it can only make more than 70 flintlock pistols a month, and when it can be distributed to the Yuezhou camp, this is not my business."

"The flintlock pistol is afraid of the tide and water, but after all, it doesn't need an open flame, so it's better to serve than a bird, and when it rains, you can shoot it."

With his answer, the generals were either happy or disappointed, and their expressions varied, the range of sixty steps could be satisfied, and there was a certain combat effectiveness on rainy days, which was even more unexpected, but only more than seventy flintlock pistols could be produced in a month, which was far lower than everyone's expectations.

Tan Xiao shouted: "Seventy guns, you can only make hundreds of guns a year, and your repair institute is too lazy!" When will we be able to use a new gun? ”

Of course, Gu Zongfu was indispensable for complaining, and he also shouted: "Yes, the seven or eight hundred people in your ordnance repair institute cost thousands of taels of silver a month, and the guns you make are too few, so what does standardized production mean?" ”

"This, I can't say this well, let's ask Supervisor Fang to explain it to the generals." Wang Jing's status was not high, and he couldn't resist the might of the two generals, so he had to invite Fang Zhengzheng.

Fang Zhengzheng coughed and explained: "The so-called standardized production, simply put, is to unify the specifications and size, take the flintlock pistol as an example, the length, weight, thickness, thickness and so on of various accessories have a unified standard, all craftsmen must work in accordance with the standard, and if the error is too large, it will be reworked and redone, or even scrapped directly, so the speed of production will be slower......

Gu Zongfu immediately interrupted him: "What's the use of this? Which craftsman does not work by his craft? Of course, the length and thickness are different, so why have to be such a dead frame and delay your work in vain! ”

The other generals also chimed in: "Yes! What standardized production, bells and whistles, must not be like the rules of craftsmanship, quickly let the craftsmen let go of their work, make hundreds of flintlock pistols a month, and replace them for everyone at the end of the year! ”

"Everyone, everyone! Standardized production is the meaning of Wang Junmen, there is absolutely no room for bargaining, I didn't know much about standardized production at the beginning, and I listened to Wang Junmen's guidance to be cheerful. Fang Zhengzheng said: "We have all used the bird gun made by the Ming Dynasty, the same bird gun, the weight dare to be a few taels and a half catties, each bird gun has a different temper, if it is not cooked, it is not accurate at all, and as long as a small part is broken, there is no suitable thing to replace, and the whole bird gun has to be scrapped." After the implementation of standardized production, all flintlock pistols are of the same specification, and they can be repaired by themselves if there is a small problem, which is much more convenient when fighting......"

With Fang Zhengzheng's explanation, everyone has a rough understanding of standardized production, the quality of the bird guns produced by the handicraft workshop is difficult to guarantee, and it is trivial to be inaccurate, and some will even accidentally blow up the chest, so Chu Jun will have more than a dozen people injured every month, and after the implementation of standardized production, these problems should be solved.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, since there are so many delicious products in standardized production, and it is an order given by Wang Kefan himself, no one questions this, but is worried that he will not be able to share the new flintlock pistol. The Chu army has 30,000 horses, but the flintlock pistol can only produce more than 800 pieces a year.

Everyone pulled and pulled around Fang Zhengzheng, Cheng Wen was also involved in the center of the whirlpool, the generals either smiled and pulled the relationship, or blackened their faces to intimidate, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, none of these generals could be offended, Cheng Wen and Fang Zheng Zheng couldn't provoke them, so they had to push Wang Kefan to the front again.

"We can't be the master of this matter, it depends on Wang Junmen's meaning."

Oh, yes! The distribution of flintlock pistols is such a big thing, of course, Wang Kefan needs a nod, and everyone flocked to his side, emphasizing how their troops need flintlock pistols, hoping to distribute them as soon as possible.

"I can't do this either, it depends on your own performance." Wang Kefan waved the flintlock pistol in his hand, and the five or six spears flashed a cold light: "Whether it is the Gongyi battalion or the firearms battalion, they are all treated the same as other battalions. (To be continued......)
