Chapter XXVI Army Equipment

After the two finalized battleships, battle cruisers, cruisers, destroyers, gunboats, and submarines, Li Gang began to sell planes, tanks, and guns and artillery.

When Li Gang learned that Sun Hao's planet did not have real fighters, bombers and tanks, he was happy and recommended Kouguo's Douding tank, the French Renault FT-17 light tank, and the Czech 38T light tank to Sun Hao.

After Sun Hao heard this, he did not have the slightest interest in Kouguo's Douding tank and the French Renault FT-17 light tank, but was very yearning for the Czech 38T light tank. The Czech 38T light tank, which was definitely the strongest light tank in World War II, was used by the Germans to change countless artillery trucks, and finally disappeared with the obsolescence of light tanks.

The French Renault FT-17 light tank is 5 meters long, 1.75 meters wide, 2.29 meters high, with a maximum speed of 10 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 39 kilometers, with a main armament of 37mm guns or 8mm machine guns, a maximum rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute, and a vehicle weight of 7 tons.

Such a tank is not as good as Peewee, but it can be produced and sold to countries in World War I to make money. Sun Hao doesn't like such a tank at all, but it is a very good choice to use it to make money.

The Douding tank is called the Type 94 ultralight tank, with a length of 3.08 meters, a width of 1.62 meters, a height of 1.62 meters, a dead weight of 3.2 tons, a total combat weight of 3.45 tons, an engine power of 23.5 kilowatts, a maximum speed of 40 km/h, a maximum range of 208 kilometers, and a crew of 2 people. Its main armament was one machine gun, the Type 91 6.5 mm machine gun in the early days, which was later replaced by a 7.7 mm machine gun, and a few vehicles were equipped with 37 mm guns. There are hatches for both the commander and the driver, and a rear door at the rear of the hull makes it easy for the occupants to get on and off the vehicle and communicate with the towed vehicle.

Although the armor of this Peeding tank is weak, it has a very good speed and high mobility, and if it is used in World War I, it is definitely an excellent tank. Sun Hao thought that there were not many tanks during the First World War, and he could produce this kind of tank and sell it to Britain, France, Rakshasa or Germany.

As for the Czech 38T light tank, Sun Hao wanted to equip his army, and this tank can be said to be the best light tank in the early stage of World War II. At the moment, there is no need to equip yourself with medium or heavy tanks, and the Czech 38T light tank is a good choice.

In the end, Sun Hao finalized the purchase of 200 Czech 38T light tanks and production equipment, and purchased the production line of the Type 94 ultra-light tank (Douding tank), the production line and production technology of the French Renault FT-17 light tank, and purchased several prototypes.

As for the mechanics who produced tanks, Sun Hao planned to implant the women he bought from the Wuji Continent. In this way, you can not only ensure that the technology is not leaked, but also train your own technicians.

After the naval equipment and the armored forces were negotiated, the two began to discuss the equipment of the army.

Sun Hao has a unique love for the German 98K rifle, plus Li Gang also recommended the improved 98K, plus a 10-round magazine, such a 98K has become an automatic rifle, and the firepower is much more powerful. Originally, Sun Hao also wanted to add more magazines and expand the magazines to 20 rounds, which is equivalent to the power of ordinary submachine guns.

However, Li Gang said that this will not work, the 98K rifle is not a submachine gun or an assault rifle, and this kind of enlargement of the magazine will cause great damage to the 98K rifle. In desperation, Sun Hao had no choice but to give up, so he ordered a 98K rifle with a 10-round magazine.

The 98K rifle is a standard rifle equipped by the Nazi German ** team during World War II. It was the standard rifle of Nazi Germany from 1935 until the end of World War II, and the 98K became one of the most produced small arms during World War II. The 98k rifle was renovated and continued to be used by some countries after the war, and the Kar.98k, as a classic weapon, is still popular with firearms enthusiasts and is used for collecting, shooting sports, or hunting.

Sun Hao is equipped with this improved automatic 98K rifle, which can only be regarded as a strengthened version of the 98K, but after such modifications, it is undoubtedly much more powerful. The firepower of the real version of the 98K rifle on the battlefield is inferior to that of the Gardland rifle of the United States, because of the low reload and insufficient firepower. And Sun Hao just wants to improve this shortcoming, but even if it is not improved, it is a powerful rifle during World War I.

The army needs not only rifles and pistols, but also light and heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry guns, and heavy artillery.

Sun Hao's rifle is a 98K automatic rifle, and the pistol is a 20-shot shell gun, because this pistol is quite practical and has a lot of ammunition. In this day and age, a 20-shot barge gun is definitely a good pistol.

During the period of the civil war, Western countries imposed a military embargo on China, and the pistol was not included in the embargo, and the shell gun, as a pistol, had firepower similar to that of a submachine gun, and it was not surprising that it was favored by the warlords, and there were even such troops as the pistol brigade at that time.

The barge gun can be said to be one of the most equipped pistols during the Republic of China, and its powerful firepower is the favorite of various warlords and local tycoons.

The Mauser military pistol has played countless legends on the land of China, and the Chinese who have a deep affection for it have given it a variety of names, and different names reflect the vivid characteristics of the Chinese language. Northerners mostly call it box guns, and southerners mostly call them barge guns and box guns.

Looking back at history, the Mauser military pistol played a significant role in that particular era. It has both outstanding advantages and many disadvantages, and its unique shape and layout can be described as unprecedented, and it can be regarded as a classic of Mauser's generation of famous guns.

However, as a Chinese, the affection for the Mauser pistol will never be erased, because it was the Mauser military pistol that accompanied the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians through that difficult and difficult years, and it was no longer a lifeless weapon, but a historical witness of the spirit of the Chinese people.

In the later anti-Japanese war dramas, almost all of them had box guns, and some masters with guns performed the box guns to the fullest, firing two guns at the same time, constantly firing, and the chic and free action was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the status of the box gun pistol in China is self-evident. Even if it is not the most advanced pistol, it is a very good gun in the minds of the Chinese people.

Of course, Sun Hao is also among them, although there are many kinds of hand guns that are better than shell guns, but Sun Hao is also very fond of box guns, far more than other pistols. Therefore, it is not surprising that Sun Hao chose the barge gun.

The machine gun is the famous German MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, the performance of this machine gun is absolutely leveraged, and it has killed countless people in World War II, the key is that the bullet of this machine gun is common with the bullet of the 98K automatic rifle, which can reduce the transportation pressure of the logistics troops.

Later historians analyzed that when the eleventh allied forces invaded China, historians said that the weapons of the Qing Dynasty could even exceed the average level of the allied forces, but it was only because of the problem that the guns and ammunition of each unit were not uniform, resulting in quite chaotic logistics, and even the strength of a town would have several calibers of guns. Therefore, Sun Hao didn't want such a situation to occur in his troops, and tried to unify the caliber as much as possible.

The MG42 was developed and commissioned by Nazi Germany in 1942, and was basically based on a weapon that used 7.92mm bullets, and was intended to replace the MG34 general-purpose machine gun, but eventually the two machine guns were used together until the end of the war. Its biggest feature is its extremely fast rate of fire, and it is known as "Hitler's chainsaw".

The MG42 7.92 mm general-purpose machine gun was originally known as the MG34/41 machine gun. The Battle of Tunis in 1943 was the first time that the German army was equipped with this gun, named the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, and Dr. Gruno's main contribution was the extensive use of punching and riveting parts, which greatly increased the production efficiency of weapons, and by the end of World War II, more than 1.2 million guns had been produced. In the 50s, the Federal Republic of Germany improved the machine gun to use NATO 7.62×51 mm cartridges and renamed it the MG1 type. This model differed from the prototype only with some changes in the bolt structure and the ammunition feeding mechanism.

However, when the MG42 was first born and equipped with troops, it was actually a crude weapon, a patchwork of several pieces of iron and an iron pipe, to Western spies lurking in Europe. Snowflakes flew to Washington and London, and the content was the same: Germany was no longer good, they were desperately short of raw materials, and even the machine guns at the heart of their tactics were made with such rudimentary and crude manufacturing techniques.

However, when American and British gunsmiths learned of this situation, they were shocked. They were well aware that the Germans, with their stamping technology, were far ahead of them in terms of machine guns. In the actual combat later, this was also well proved.

Whether in the ice and snow of minus 40 degrees Celsius in the Soviet Union, or in the low scrubs of Normandy; Whether it was the hot desert of North Africa or the rubble heaps of Berlin, the MG42 was an absolute firepower pillar for the German army and a nightmare for the Allied soldiers. U.S. soldiers called MG42 "Hitler's chainsaw", while others viciously and rudely described MG42 as "Hitler's zipper."

Even the German soldiers called it "Hitler's saw" or "bone saw". The Soviet soldiers were more unpretentious, and they elegantly called MG42 "linen scissors". The British soldiers named it after the place where the MG42 material was manufactured, "Spendo".

The MG42, a German-made machine gun known as the best machine gun of World War II, was made "an infantry's nightmare" by the American GIs, who were unstoppable and domineering. It is the three superlative adjective phrases used by critics of light weapons: "the shortest time, the lowest cost, but the best weapon".

The most striking impression of the Allied soldiers on the MG42 is its gunfire, the MG42 machine gun has a minimum rate of 1200 rounds per minute and a maximum of 1500 rounds per minute, and after the machine gun rate of fire exceeds 1000 rounds per minute, people cannot distinguish a single gunshot, the MG42 shooting sound is not like the "click" sound of a Czech or Browning machine gun, but similar to the "snort" sound of a high-speed chainsaw (the sound is a bit like the M134 heavy machine gun of the American army), and there are also Allied soldiers described it as the sound of tearing a large piece of linen, the recruits don't have anything about it yet.

The last thing the Allied veterans want to hear is this diabolical voice, for them, this voice is the voice of the Grim Reaper, because of the high rate of fire of the MG42, the shooter can shoot 12 to 15 rounds every time he pulls the trigger for a short burst, if an unfortunate soldier is shot by the MG42, then he will be shot several times in an instant, and the possibility of survival is very small, in actual combat, MG42 because of its high rate of fire, not only can it be easy to deal with small group targets, but it is also very effective against group targets.

The MG42 is recognized as the finest machine gun of World War II, and it provided unparalleled firepower to the German infantry. After the war, the former Federal Republic of Germany continued to be equipped with this machine gun, and the model was changed to MG3, which has been installed to this day. MG3 is very popular in the international market, and there are more than a dozen countries that have installed MG3 at the beginning of the 21st century.

Sun Hao knows but MG2 also has many shortcomings, the MG42 rate of fire is too fast, the damage to the barrel is too great, the higher the rate of fire means the greater the body of the gun, the more obvious the muzzle flame, which is bad news for the machine gunner. In addition, a high rate of fire means high consumption. The MG42's drum ejaculated prematurely, and it had no vitality and continuity, so it was not a big problem when it was placed in the case of the short range of automatic fire in World War II.

In other words, premature ejaculation means early death. And when the people see those who are attacking the enemy with a large number of bullet chains wrapped around their bodies, it is definitely filming, and it is not suitable for combat at all. Now all use drums. If someone is tied to a large chain of bullets, stay away, and a bullet hits the body, and hundreds of bullets are fired indiscriminately.

Sun Hao knew that the high rate of fire was not necessarily an advantage, and the rate of fire of the MG2 must be reduced.

Guns with a high rate of fire are difficult to control, consume a lot of ammunition, and the barrel wears out quickly, which in turn affects the continuity of fire. Therefore, Sun Hao must improve.

The heavy machine gun chooses the M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun, which has been used in the 21st century, which shows the superiority of this machine gun.

The M2's large-caliber .50BMG ammunition has the advantages of high firepower, stable trajectory and extremely long range, with a rate of fire of 450 to 550 rounds per minute (600 to 1200 rounds per minute in the World War II version) and a recoil action system that makes it very stable when firing fully automatically, with a high hit rate, and the M2's support firepower is also reduced due to the low rate of fire.

The Browning M2 has a maximum range of 7.4 km (4.55 mi) when firing M2 ordinary shells, and an effective range of 1.8 km (1.2 mi) on an M3 tripod.

The Browning M2 weighs 38 kg (84 lb) net and weighs 20 kg (44 lb) on the M3 tripod, with a V-shaped "butterfly" trigger mounted at the tail of the receiver and two grips attached, allowing the shooter to adjust fully automatic or semi-automatic firing by locking or opening the bolt.

The gun can fire 12.7×99mmmm caliber bullets, including ordinary bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets, armor-piercing bullets, tracer bullets, armor-piercing tracer bullets, armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets, shell-piercing armor-piercing bullets, hard-core armor-piercing bullets, training bullets, etc.

As for the Maxine machine gun, Sun Hao gave up, but he could buy the production line himself, and when the time came, he would produce a large number of Maxine machine guns and sell them to those belligerents.

artillery, Sun Hao bought 60 artillery guns, 92 infantry guns,

There is absolutely no doubt that the 60 mortar is a must-have weapon for every army. Since World War II, there have not been many people who have really died from rifles, but there have been many people who have died from machine guns and mortars, especially 60mm mortars, because they are light and very easy to carry, can be operated by a single person, and are the most reliable suppressive firepower of infantry on the battlefield, so they are deeply loved by infantry.

The Type 92 infantry gun is a very excellent weapon in the Japanese army's armament, known as "one inch short, one inch dangerous". It was an "ideal" infantry battalion support weapon in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century. This is especially true for countries with very low levels of mechanization.

Plus, it's perfect for use on complex terrain. For example, for infantry battalion support in mountain warfare, it is very handy. Moreover, it has a wide range of tasks, and can cover almost all types of fire support required by an infantry battalion. Coupled with the simple structure, it is not only convenient for wartime production, but also easy to use and maintain.

The Type 92 infantry gun weighed only 0.212 tons, so the requirements for transportation were low, and in the absence of vehicles, untrained animal or manpower could be towed forward. Coupled with its ability to disassemble transportation, the requirements for road conditions in the war zone are almost minimized. It can be said that the Type 92 infantry gun is an infantry gun that can truly accompany the infantry battalion in combat unconditionally.

In addition, Sun Hao also purchased 105mm caliber howitzers, 155mm caliber howitzers, and 203mm howitzers.

The amount of this transaction has reached 2.46 billion yuan, and all the money that Sun Hao used to store in Li Gang's place has been squandered, and Sun Hao has to take out a large number of antiques from Fuming City to fill the amount, so as to complete the amount of this transaction.
