At present, the Russian army has begun to install a large number of advanced weapons, even if there is still a certain gap with the Chinese Imperial Army, but with the numerical superiority of the army, it will still cause huge casualties to the Chinese Empire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In particular, the Russian army was heavily armed with heavy machine guns, and the cavalry of the Chinese Empire would definitely pay a huge price if they faced such a target.

Therefore, the armament of the Chinese Empire had to undergo a revolution to suppress the Russian army, which was outnumbered.

On the road to the rise of the Chinese Empire, the research and development of weapons has never stopped, and with the help of Yan Xueyi, various weapons have been developed, which can be mass-produced and installed in the army at any time if necessary.

In the face of the upcoming war, a large number of new weapons were equipped into the Suzaku Legion, considering that the twenty cavalry divisions of the Suzaku Legion were the main force of the Suzaku Legion, so this time the new weapons were mainly light.

The rifle is the most common weapon for military soldiers, because it is cheap to build, can be installed on a large scale, the current Chinese Empire's China Type 1 rifle belongs to the world's most advanced rifle, and it is also an outstanding work in the bolt rifle, only when the semi-automatic rifle is installed in the army, the China Type 1 rifle will be eliminated.

In addition to rifles, there were also heavy machine guns, mortars, field artillery, etc., but these equipment, without exception, were very heavy and not suitable for cavalry troops.

Now in this world, the heavy machine gun has shown its power, and the cavalry troops are only slaughtered under its muzzle, and in this Sino-Russian war, the Chinese Empire takes the cavalry troops as the main force, and values the mobility of the cavalry troops.

The Zhonghua Type 1 rifle is a standard rifle, but some of the Zhonghua Type 1 rifles used by the infantry are not suitable for cavalry, and the rifle used by the cavalry is an improved model of the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle, which is specially used for cavalry combat, and the cavalry rifle is slightly shorter than the infantry rifle, and the position of the back ring is not the same, and the others are generally the same.

In fact, the effect of the rifle on the cavalry is average, and it is not easy for the soldier to aim when he moves at high speed on a horse, and the single-shot hit rate is very low! The cavalry must be equipped with a saber charging melee weapon, and when the cavalry quickly rushes in front of the enemy, it can directly swing the saber and cut people.

This method of warfare also meant that the cavalry unit had to pay a great price every time it wanted to win a battle.

Cavalry combat is to move forward bravely, whether it is victory or defeat, under normal circumstances, it will not retreat on the road of charge, even if it is victorious, the cavalry will have great casualties.

If you want to improve the combat capability of the cavalry troops, you still have to improve the firepower of the cavalry troops, and the best way to improve the firepower is to equip automatic weapons.

The Light Machine Gun, as the name suggests, is a lighter automatic weapon than the Heavy Machine Gun.

When the heavy machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun were first introduced, there were already people working on light machine guns, but the light machine guns of the Chinese Empire had already been successfully developed and mass-produced, first installed in the cavalry units of the Suzaku Legion.

Because this light machine gun was installed in the first year of Xinghua, it was named Xinghua first year light machine gun.

Xinghua first year light machine gun

Full gun length: 1161 mm.

Full gun weight: 9.60 kg.

Barrel length: 672 mm.

Automatic mode: pneumatic type.

Rifling: 4 strips, right-handed, 240 mm winding.

Muzzle velocity: 830 m/s.

Gauge range: 1500 meters.

Rate of fire: 500 rounds / min.

Barrel cooling: air-cooled.

Ammunition feed: 20 rounds/30 rounds magazine

Ammunition used: 7.62X51mm rifle cartridge (common to Chung Hwa Type 1 rifle cartridge)

(Note: The prototype is a Czech light machine gun with some minor modifications)

The working principle of the Xinghua first year light machine gun is the piston long-stroke gas conduction type, and the bolt deflection locking method is adopted, that is, the bolt is locked by the bolt tail end lifted up and snapped into the locking card slot at the top of the receiver, and can choose to shoot single or burst, when the trigger is pulled, the bolt moves forward, and the dust sheet under the receiver springs forward at the same time for the empty cartridge case to be thrown down (usually closed to prevent sand and dust from entering).

Xinghua first year light machine gun 7.62 mm caliber, firing 7.62X51 mm rifle cartridges, the gun uses a magazine to feed, the ammunition capacity is 20 rounds or 30 rounds, the magazine is located above the receiver, throwing the shell from below, because the magazine is on the center line above the gun body, so the sight is installed on the left side of the gun body, the gun sighting device adopts a mechanical sight composed of ordinary crosshair and worm gear notched gate.

When the Xinghua first-year light machine gun was delivered to the Suzaku Regiment, when the cavalry unit was just installed, there was a problem, the Xinghua first-year light machine gun weighed less than ten kilograms, which was much lighter than the heavy machine gun in the rainstorm, and the cavalry could carry and even barely use the Xinghua first-year light machine gun when riding, but for the cavalry in the charge, the Xinghua first-year light machine gun was still a little heavy, a little large, and inconvenient to use.

After several actual combat exercises, Zhao Gang, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Regiment, decided that the cavalry division could be equipped with a small number of Xinghua Yuannian light machine guns, and when the cavalry launched a charge, the machine gunner could cover the cavalry charge in the back, and there was no need for a coordinated charge.

Although cavalry units could not be equipped with Xinghua first-year light machine guns on a large scale, infantry units needed such weapons.

Xinghua first year light machine gun structure is simple, the bolt action is reliable, in the fierce battle and the harsh natural environment is not easy to damage, easy to use and maintain, in addition to accurate shooting, as long as the barrel can be replaced can continue to shoot, two-person machine gun team, greatly improve the actual combat performance of the machine gun, the general infantry can use the gun after simple shooting training.

Therefore, after equipping the cavalry units with a small number of Xinghua Yuannian light machine guns, the remaining large number of Xinghua Yuannian light machine guns were equipped into the two integrated divisions of the Suzaku Regiment.

Originally, Zhao Gang wanted each of the two integrated divisions of the Suzaku Legion to have a light machine gun, but considering that the number of light machine guns had been a wartime ammunition supply problem, in the end, only one platoon could be equipped with one light machine gun, even so, the firepower of the integrated division would be greatly improved, especially when charging, the soldiers could carry the light machine gun while shooting and charging.

The light machine gun is definitely a big killer for the enemy.

Although cavalry units cannot be equipped with light machine guns on a large scale, cavalry units can be equipped with submachine guns on a large scale.

Submachine guns and light machine guns are both automatic weapons, but submachine guns are lighter than light machine guns, have lower accuracy, and have a short range, but this automatic weapon is the weapon that cavalry needs most.
