Chapter 214 Selects General Purpose Machine Guns

"Hey!" Following Gao Hongsheng's sigh, Feng Laosi also let out a long sigh, and before he could turn his head to see what was going on, Hong Jincai also let out a longer sigh.

"I said, 'What do you sigh about?' I'm sighing for the fate of these people who will be in the crossfire network in the future, what are you making a fuss about? ”

"Hey! In the face of these monsters you took out, I wonder what is the use of my martial arts? I was able to dodge with a few rifles, but with this heavy machine gun that fires 500 rounds per minute, hey! Personal martial arts seem to be useless. And that damn side-firing firepower, it's simply impossible to prevent, it's really life and death. Feng Laosi sighed with regret that his always proud martial arts were frustrated by Yan Zòng in the face of Wang Da Beauty, and now he sees that the heavy machine gun that Gao Hongsheng took out is really useless, as long as three or five ordinary people have this guy, they can't even run in the face of the rain of bullets fired by them.

"Yes! The high shopkeeper, this heavy machine gun is too powerful, this thing is 500 rounds of ammunition a minute, it's not the same as rain, how to fight in the future, as long as you have this thing in your hand, it's really a fairy who is not afraid. Hong Jincai's eyes were full of golden light, and he was not afraid to sprinkle salt on Feng Laosi's wound at this time, it was really Feng Laosi who had been relying on his martial arts to clean up Hong Jincai from time to time, and now that he had such a good opportunity, he would not let go of the opportunity to hit him at all.

"Seeing the benefits of this thing, the heavy machine gun is indeed a good thing, since it is a good thing, then everyone will be equipped with this thing, what if we run into it?" Gao Hongsheng asked inspiringly.

Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai glanced at the four heavy machine gun crews arranged behind the side of the trench, and they couldn't help but restrain their thoughts, frowning, imagining what they should do when they led their brothers to face the fire net formed by this thing?

The four heavy machine gun crews are arranged behind the trenches, and if you want to hit them, you have to get closer, but there is a trench in front, and the soldiers in the trenches are not stupid, you must first beat the minions in the trenches before you can hit the heavy machine gun crews hiding in the rear, but if you want to fight the soldiers in the trenches, you must face the blockade of those heavy machine gun crews, and the infantry charge alone is obviously not enough.

The two of them looked at each other, and Feng Laosi opened his mouth first: "It seems that if you want to defeat the heavy machine gun team, it is best to use a cannon to bombard, and then use the same heavy machine gun to shoot at each other. ”

Not to be outdone, Hong Jincai said: "Also, even when you rush up, you can't send so many people to line up so closely, it's useless if there are too many people, you should spread out a little, half of them don't need to dodge, it's too dense to even dodge, it's best to find the best brothers in the team to hit their heavy machine guns, even if they can't hit, they can interfere with their shooting." ”

Gao Hongsheng looked at these two earth leopards with some surprise, but he didn't expect them to get to the point at once, you must know that the role of heavy machine guns was not valued until the First World War, but how did they think of the idea at once? Thinking about this, he asked curiously: "How did you think of it, this thing has not been used in large quantities by everyone now, how can you think of this?" ”

"Don't we have a Gatling cannon? Isn't that thing a big heavy machine gun, it's not that it hasn't been used, it fights like a rain of bullets, how many times have the brothers trained, but it's just that thing is too heavy, far less light than the things in these pictures of yours. Hong Jincai said disapprovingly.

Gao Hongsheng immediately understood, isn't Gatling just an enlarged version of a heavy machine gun? However, there is still a big difference compared with the Makqin heavy machine gun, and he hurriedly said: "It's different, that big thing in Gatling uses ** filled gunpowder, and when it hits, it emits black smoke, and it can be found from a distance." The Maxim heavy machine gun uses smokeless gunpowder, and there is not so much smoke to expose the target when it is fired, but because the Maxim heavy machine gun is water-cooled, after firing for a period of time, the water vapor will emit white smoke as soon as it evaporates, and it can be seen from a distance. The Hatch Chase is air-cooled, so it is not so obvious to the target, but because it is air-cooled, the barrel needs to be replaced after firing three or five hundred rounds, otherwise the shooting accuracy will be affected, and this is also the best time to attack it. ”

Seeing that Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai both nodded to indicate that they understood, Gao Hongsheng continued: "Since we all know that this thing is powerful, then everyone will kill it as soon as they find out."

But whether it is a Maxim heavy machine gun or a Hatch Chase heavy machine gun, the weight is more than fifty or sixty kilograms, and it is not easy to move this thing quickly, so once it is discovered, it means that it will be killed by others.

You must know that Makqin or Hatch Chase are not cheap, the price of one is two or three thousand silver dollars, not to mention the training of heavy machine gunners, which are all fed with bullets, and the price of a thousand rounds of ammunition is less than seventy or eighty silver dollars, and there are no eighteen thousand rounds of ammunition but they cannot be fed to the machine gunner.

In this way, a heavy machine gun group will need five or six thousand taels of silver to train it, and if it is bombarded by others, the loss will be great, and you can also see that the number of this machine gun is not good, so whether this thing can survive on the battlefield has become a big problem. ”

"But this Maxim heavy machine gun and Hatch Chase heavy machine gun are too heavy, the brothers can't run fast if they want to be discovered, they can only stay there and wait for death, but you look at the Bergman machine gun, it's fine, the weight is only a dozen kilograms, a brother can carry it everywhere, especially the bad road conditions in our place, the weight of the Maxim heavy machine gun and the Hatch Chase heavy machine gun need at least four people to carry before they can walk, and even long-distance transportation must be carried by mules and horses, where do we go to find so many mules and horses?

And the structure of the Bergman machine gun is similar to that of the Hatch Chase heavy machine gun, the parts are much less than more than a thousand parts of the Hatch Race, and it is more limited than the Hatch Cash, and the range and rate of fire are not low at all, but the continuous shooting ability is lacking in shortcomings, but we can use the quantity to find out, the price is estimated to be more expensive than the Maxim heavy machine gun, but we are not short of that money now, and the Bergman machine gun can be arranged with the pace of the brothers' attack, It doesn't have to be fixed in the back, it can only be used as long-range indirect fire, so that when we attack anywhere, we will have the close fire cover of the machine gun, and then the brothers don't have to take their lives to fill it. ”

The emergence of machine guns has had a profound impact on the way of human warfare, which makes each soldier who has it can fire hundreds of warheads per minute on the battlefield, and can kill an entire platoon of soldiers in just a few minutes, so that when facing machine guns on the battlefield, the number of people is no longer a decisive factor, and the dense charging formation is forced to die out under its power, and the distance between individual soldiers has changed from the original one or two meters to a more distant distance of five or six meters or even more than ten meters. Coordination between soldiers became more important, frontal attacks became a luxury, and flank attacks became the mainstream.

Around the machine gun weapon, people have invented countless weapons for restraint, in order to fight against the machine gun nest in a solid bunker, the invention of infantry artillery for close support of infantry, in order to resist the barrage of machine gun fire, the development of heavy equipment such as tanks.
