Xinghua first year submachine gun

Caliber: 9X19 MM

Gun length: 815 mm

Gun weight: 4.17 kg (empty gun weighs 4 kg)

Ammunition feed: 20/32 round magazine

Rate of fire: 400 rounds / min

Firing range: 150 meters

The prototype of the Xinghua first year submachine gun is the German MP18 submachine gun, the gun adopts the principle of free bolt, suitable for the locking system is the 9mm caliber Pyra Belum pistol cartridge used in the Luger pistol, in order to effectively dissipate heat by using the open standby mode, the bolt is pulled to the rear position through the pull handle on the right side of the receiver, and is stuck in the card slot at the end of the pull handle groove to achieve safety.

This fixing method is not enough insurance, and the pull handle will come out of the card slot when it is accidentally subjected to some kind of vibration, causing the bolt to move forward and fire the bullet to misfire, but the Xinghua Yuannian submachine gun has been improved in this point, and there is no need to worry about this problem.

The most striking feature of the Xinghua Yuannian submachine gun is that the barrel is wrapped with a sleeve, and the sleeve is covered with heat dissipation holes, which is conducive to heat dissipation by continuous shooting, while the Xinghua Yuannian submachine gun can only shoot fully automatically, which results in a large amount of ammunition consumption, which will rely heavily on logistics and supply, and will also bring strong fire support to its own side.

A comparison between a submachine gun and a light machine gun reveals a huge difference between the two, the former is lighter in weight and smaller in size, but has a short range and low accuracy, making it suitable for close-range combat.

Because of its mobility, cavalry can quickly approach the enemy, so the battle mostly takes place in close combat, and when the infantry is in a close battle with the enemy when launching a charge or even into the enemy's trenches, this kind of fast rate of fire and sensitive submachine gun is also a very good weapon.

From such a comparison, it can be seen that light machine guns are more suitable for equipping infantry units than cavalry units, but submachine guns are suitable for both, but for the upcoming war, cavalry units are the main force, so submachine guns should be prioritized to equip cavalry units.

Consider a scene of war: when a group of cavalry rapidly approaches an enemy who is not ready, each cavalryman pours bullets at the enemy with a submachine gun, and the enemy is consumed by the bullets of the submachine gun before he can react.

As soon as the submachine gun fires, the submachine gun is like a heavy machine gun in a short period of time, although the submachine gun has very few bullets in a magazine, but how many enemies will there be, hundreds or thousands of submachine guns are fired together, what kind of enemy can still resist?

Therefore, the submachine gun is the best weapon for the cavalry, Zhao Gang, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, has asked the military logistics department to allocate 10,000 submachine guns, Zhao Gang wants to equip each cavalry division with at least 500 submachine guns, and on average, one out of every ten cavalry cavalry is equipped with submachine guns, but Zhao Gang's idea is that most of the submachine guns in each cavalry division are used intensively, and the real power of submachine guns will be shown when the cavalry troops charge.

The Chinese Empire was dominated by cavalry in the upcoming war, and the war would take place mainly in Russia under the leadership of the Chinese Empire, and the main content of the battle was positional warfare and siege warfare.

In the case of large-scale battles, the cavalry units of the Chinese Empire could conquer the positions or cities of the Russian army with the assistance of the air force bombing airships.

However, the number of airships in the Air Force is limited, and in a skirmish, it is impossible for the Air Force to send airships to participate, and the Russian army equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns will inflict considerable casualties on the cavalry units.

If you don't want this to happen, the cavalry units of the Chinese Empire need to be equipped with some offensive weapons.

Artillery is a fortified weapon, but the artillery of the Chinese Empire is heavier than one another, even the lightest 60 mm mortar, the weight is about to reach 45 kg, how can the cavalry unit be equipped with such a heavy artillery in order to maintain mobility, the cavalry unit needs a lighter artillery.

So the lighter Xinghua Yuannian 60mm mortar appeared.

Xinghua first year type 60 mm mortar

Caliber: 60 mm

Muzzle velocity: 203 m/s

Firing range: 175 meters ~ 1550 meters

Rate of fire: 30 rounds / min

Tube length: 830 mm

High and low emission boundary: 45°~80°

Directional firing boundary: 4° left and right

Weapon mass: 15.7 kg

Mass of shells: 1.33 kg

Effective Kill Radius: 8.7 meters

The latest Xinghua Yuannian 60mm mortar is lighter, has a longer range and is more powerful than the 60mm mortar originally equipped by the Imperial Chinese Army.

The two types of artillery are also 60 mm mortars, and there is such a huge difference in the steel of the barrel, with better steel, coupled with the advanced technology provided by Yan Xueyi, it is possible to produce a 60 mm mortar with a quality of only one-third of the original mortar.

The Imperial Chinese Army is ready to start a comprehensive replacement of the latest Xinghua Yuannian 60mm mortars, but now the Xinghua Yuannian 60mm mortars will be supplied first to the Suzaku Legion, followed by the Blue Dragon Legion and the Fire Phoenix Legion.

The cavalry units of the Suzaku Legion can be equipped with part of the 60-mm mortars of the first year of Xinghua, the mortar itself is divided into two parts, which are carried by two cavalrymen, and the shells of the mortars, other cavalry can help to carry, one person carries one or two, which does not affect the marching speed of the cavalry troops.

If the Xinghua first year 60mm mortar is equipped in the infantry unit, that one infantry can carry it.

The 60-mm mortar of Xinghua's first year type weighs only a little more than fifteen kilograms, which is relatively light among the light mortars, and in fact there are lighter than this mortar, which is called an ultra-light mortar, which can also be called a grenadier.

The caliber of the grenadier is generally less than 50 mm, not only the grenadier itself is relatively light, but the weight of the grenadier shell or grenade that can be thrown is also very small.

Light weight, easy to carry, can provide timely fire support, good power, low cost, this is the advantage of the grenadier, but the Chinese Empire will not be equipped with this weapon for the time being, and will not even be equipped with this weapon in the future.

Because this weapon has a big flaw, that is, the accuracy is too low.

Since the propellant at the bottom of the grenadier has not changed, it is necessary to adjust the angle of the grenadier to determine the firing distance and aim at the target, and only an experienced grenadier can accurately hit the target.

If the Chinese Empire had just produced a batch of grenadiers to equip its troops, how could it hit the target without experienced grenadiers?

Compared with rifles, light machine guns, and submachine guns, mortars also have a high degree of specialization, so the artillery of the cavalry unit will not choose those Mongols who have only changed from herdsmen for a long time.

Within a few months, the Mongols could learn to aim and shoot, but it was a difficult thing to learn to fire, and the artillery of the cavalry division was basically transferred from other units of the army.
