Chapter 30: Escape (1)

Zhou Laoliu's machine gun is a triple shot, after all, Yizhimei's cooperation is still a little unskilled, although he is very fast to load bullets, but the disassembly of the barrel is surprisingly slow, maybe it was once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope!

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Linghu was holding a light machine gun with a crooked handle, which could make up for Zhou Laoliu's paused firepower due to the replacement of the magazine and barrel, and the two machines cooperated with each other to create a firepower net with almost no gaps, so that those pursuing devil soldiers shrank their heads and hid behind various houses on the side of the street, not daring to show their heads, even those who dared to look would also be killed by Zhang Shun and Sha Wenhua's cold guns.

Lin was shocked to see Xiao Linghu operating the machine gun so skillfully, the crooked light machine gun produced by this kind of devil is not as good as the Czech light machine gun that is heavily equipped.

This machine gun is somewhat special in shape, because it uses a neck similar to the butt of a traditional rifle, and because its aiming baseline is biased to the right side of the gun surface, in order to avoid the user from crooking the neck too much to the right when aiming, the neck of the gun that is already very slender is deliberately bent to the right, so that the gunner can stick to the cheek, and the position of the butt can meet the shoulder of the gun aiming. It is this shape that is why it is commonly known in China as "crooked handles!" ”。

This machine gun also had a bad reputation among the Japanese army, because it was really not useful. Therefore, the Japanese later developed the Type 96 light machine gun in 1936, but because the Type 96 light machine gun had only been developed for a year at this time, it had not been equipped in large quantities in the Japanese army, so it was named the Taisho 11 Type "Crooked Handle" light machine gun, and it was still used in a large number of Japanese troops.

At this time, only two of the divisions and regiments sent to China had completely replaced the Type 96 light machine guns with 30-round magazines, and the other units were still equipped with Taisho 11 light machine guns.

The most distinctive feature of the crooked light machine gun is its ammunition feeding system, which uses a funnel-shaped chain feeding system. Because the original designers required this machine gun to have a universal infantry magazine, and the infantry magazine generally only contained five rounds, in order to meet the requirements of combat skills, this light machine gun may be loaded with six magazines at the same time, a total of 30 rounds. It's just that when it comes to loading magazines, it's a little complicated. In front of the loader, there is a spring-loaded bullet cover, when you want to load the magazine, first pull the bullet pressure cover plate forward and upward, then put six magazines into the loader, and then pull back the bullet pressure cover, so that the bullet in the loader is pressed by the cover. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the bullet does not fall out of the loader, and at the same time to keep the bullet firmly in the loading position. Just a skilled machine gunner, it takes thirty to fifty seconds, or even more than a minute, to change these six magazines, which is too much different from the Czech style magazine, which only takes two or three seconds to change magazines.

And when this machine gun is used, the principle of firing bullets is also very complicated. On the bolt frame of the light machine gun, an oblique guide slot was opened, and the lugging arm bump at the bottom of the loader was placed in the oblique guide slot. When pulling the bolt, the bolt arm bump is under the effect of the inclined guide groove of the bolt frame, and then does a transverse reciprocating motion, and the bullet tooth on the trigger arm continuously pushes the bullet on the magazine to the inlet, and when the bolt is re-entered, the bullet is loaded for firing. Because the magazine is limited by the walls on both sides of the loader, it cannot move left and right, so when the plucking arm is dialed into the gun, the empty magazine is left in the loader, and when the bullet of the most side of the magazine, under the pressure of its own mass and pressure cover plate, enters the loading position, the bottom empty magazine leaks out of the lower opening of the loader to achieve automatic dropping.

The coordination and coordination of the feeding process of this light machine gun is a very complex cyclic mechanical movement, and the actual combat has proved that the simpler the structure of the gun, the higher the reliability; Conversely, the less reliable it is. Because of the complexity of this machine gun, its failure rate has become quite high.

The crooked handle light machine gun also uses the 6.5 mm bullet made by the Devil 38 rifle, and this kind of bullet, Xiao Linghu and the others are not equipped, so what they can use at this time is also from those devils who were killed just now, after all, the time is limited, and the bullets they have collected are not too many.

Seeing Xiao Linghu playing the machine gun with great ease, those empty magazines had to fall down like rain, Yang Gensheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide, it was the first time he had seen this kind of machine gun.

"Don't be stunned, reload the bullets!" Lin Jinghan urged Yang Gensheng.

Yang Gensheng woke up like a dream, and quickly pressed the bullets that Lin Jinghan collected from the devil into the empty magazine, each magazine could only hold five bullets, and after a while, seven or eight magazines full of bullets were pushed in front of him.

"No bullets!" Yang Gensheng held an empty magazine in his hand and couldn't help but shudder at Lin.

"You go and search the devil's body over there again, and find more bullets!" Lin Jinghan pointed to the corpses of the thirteen devils who were killed by them in the west and said to him.

Yang Gensheng happily agreed, leaned over and ran towards the corpses of those devils.

At this time, Xiao Linghu's thirty rounds of ammunition had already been fired, he quickly opened the bullet cover and filled it with a magazine, and Lin Jinghan also took advantage of this time to take out the kettle and pour water on the barrel to cool down. The barrel of this machine gun is covered with threaded heat sinks, which allows it to be fired for a longer time than a Czech light machine gun, without having to change the barrel frequently.

When Xiao Linghu stopped, Zhou Laoliu's machine gun roared again, but at this time, he suddenly heard an explosion sound, which exploded near Zhou Laoliu's house, and it was obvious that a devil fired a grenade with a grenadier and was exploding there.

Zhou Laoliu's machine gun suddenly became dumb, and Xiao Linghu and Lin Jinghan's hearts couldn't help jumping, and they always felt that there was an ominous premonition.

But at this moment, a "bang" gunshot was heard, and the devil's grenadier was killed by Sha Wenhua's cold gun, and he was just about to fire a second grenade, but he fell.

The devil's camp made a noise behind them, and they obviously also found the existence of ** snipers, and no one dared to show their heads, because in less than a few minutes just now, they had already killed six or seven more people under the ** sniper.

However, one or two snipers were still unable to scare back the many devil pursuers, and their machine guns also rang out, and they swept towards the east entrance of the town like crazy, so that Zhang Shun and Sha Wenhua did not dare to shoot again.

The devil's striker finally dispatched, seven or eight people with guns, and the cat bent his waist to this side, and at this time, Xiao Linghu's machine gun had not finished changing the magazine, not that his method was not fast, but that one of the six magazines was reversed, and he had to take it out again to replace it, but the more anxious he was, the more he made mistakes, and the slower it was, and the time it took to change the magazine this time could make Xiao Linghu shoot another thirty bullets.

Seeing that the devil had rushed up, but at this time, the machine gun that stopped on Zhou Laoliu's side suddenly rang out again, and the two devils couldn't dodge, they were already hit by the flying bullets and fell to the side of the street, of course, at this time, Zhou Laoliu also changed the way of shooting, from three consecutive shots to a full-speed combo, and immediately suppressed the enemy in the street, not daring to raise his head slightly.
