CHAPTER XXXIX

"Today's delicious lunch at noon tastes so good, I'm so full now, it's better than last night." Zhao Heng took the mechanical cook, handed him a napkin, and wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm, what time is it?" Zhao Heng, who felt as if he had overeaten, found that he didn't have a timer like a watch, so he turned around and asked Tang Lina.

"Dear Commander, it's 12:35 on September 19, 1931." Tang Damei hadn't answered yet, and the electronic timer in the restaurant replied in its dull and lifeless voice at this time.

"Oh, it's still early at 13 o'clock in the afternoon. Well, what to say? So let's talk about our current use of equipment. Zhao Heng smashed it, smashed it, and thought for a while.

"To tell the truth, at that time, I chose the domestic 7.62x39 mm ammunition, the improved version of the Type 56, the variant version of the Type 56 of the 7x57 mm, the variant version of the Type 56, and the hammer medium tank system as the equipment of myself and the combat troops at that time. There wasn't that much time at the time, and it was just a contingency measure. Judging from the actual combat performance last night and this morning, the caliber of the firearm still did not meet my expected goal, and the ammunition performance is not too good, although the 7x57 mm heavy bullet we are using now certainly has the same straight trajectory and strong penetration as the Tomosaka 6.5 mm series bullet, but at close range: 200-500 meters, medium distance: 500-800 meters, long distance: 800-1500 meters The lethality and stopping force have greater advantages than the little devil's Tomosaka bullets. However, this type of ammunition has a non-negligible defect that cannot penetrate ordinary alloy steel with a thickness of 8-15 mm, that is to say, it cannot penetrate and destroy the thin-skin coffins of models such as Vickers armored vehicles used by little devils, and the recoil is moderate and relatively easy to accept. So these small-caliber bullets are not the caliber of ammunition I intend to choose. After Zhao Heng evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the 7mm ammunition purchased from the system in an emergency situation at that time, he could only shake his head at its performance.

"Commander, if you choose the caliber of an automatic rifle, you probably won't choose a small-caliber one, then the medium-caliber 8x57 mm and 6.5x50 mm, 6.8x43 mm ammunition also don't meet your expectations, and it's not within your choice, what kind of ammunition do you think is very suitable for automatic rifles now?" Is it an American-made 7.62x51 (NATO7.62x63) mm bullet? What about this Russian-made 7.62x54R mm bullet? So the British-made 7.7x56mm bullet line? And what about the Japanese-made 7.7x57mm bullet? Or a German-made 7.92x57 mm bullet? Donlina asked.

"Haha, are you talking about the models of bullets produced in these countries? It's not within my range of choices, so I won't need it, you must know that our combat system and logistics are different from those of these countries, and it is better to use ammunition not in these countries, and the unified use of one standard will reduce a lot of pressure on our logistics supply. It is better to choose the brand new 7x64 mm full-size heavy pointed ammunition that I just saw in the system. It is enough to change the caliber of the 7-mm caliber Type 81-1 automatic rifle produced by the system to this 7x64 mm ammunition. Zhao Heng proposed to use a 7 mm full-size ammunition marked by the system, and he hoped that this kind of ammunition with both high power and performance that was directly in his mind could become the standard equipment of his combat troops.

"THERE IS ALSO A SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE THAT CONVERTS THE 7 MM TYPE 56 SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIREARM WE ARE CURRENTLY USING INTO A 'ZOMBIE-HUNTERS' (ZOMBIE HUNTERS) APPEARANCE PRODUCED BY TWIN STAR WEAPONS IN THE UNITED STATES, RETAINS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE ORIGINAL TYPE 56 FIREARM, ADDS A TACTICAL GRIP UNDER THE BARREL, CHANGES THE BUTT TO A FOLDING TYPE, THE HANDGUARD IS MADE OF ALUMINUM ALLOY, THERE ARE PICKUP RAILS ON ALL SIDES, THE MUZZLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A FLAME SUPPRESSION BRAKE, AND THE GUN IS PAINTED IN MATTE BLACK. The ammunition load continues to be fed by a 20-round multi-row magazine for 20 rounds of 7x64 mm full-size ammunition and the same 150-round saddle twin drum. Then the name is set to the 1931 model 7mm semi-automatic rifle, so that the firepower of this firearm can maintain a high degree of continuity, not only become powerful, but also will not recoil, but will become small and stable. Zhao Heng still likes the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle all over his body, but he is very sorry for the 7.62x39 mm bullets produced by the Celestial Empire, and insists on changing the caliber of the 7 mm ammunition provided by the system.

"Our hands/guns...... The 11.43 mm Browning semi-automatic hand/gun provided by the original system was replaced with a modified version of the T/L/E-II pistol produced by Kimber: 11.43x23 mm caliber, the magazine was 20 rounds of extended magazine, the length of the gun was lengthened from the original 216 mm to 295 mm, and the muzzle was equipped with a flame suppressor. The model designation was set as a 1931-style semi-automatic hand / gun, and the ammunition of this caliber is very good, if you hit small devils...... Hey. Zhao Heng remembered that when the little devil was holding a 38-type rifle with a bayonet and preparing for a close-range hand-to-hand combat, the ammunition fired from the 11.43 mm caliber pistol drawn by his clone soldiers was hit one after another, and he fell to the ground with a shocked expression and laughed.

"The submachine gun is the 79 submachine gun developed by the Celestial Empire itself (the gun mainly kills enemy targets within 200 meters with single shot and point fire, and has the characteristics of simple structure, small size, light weight, good accuracy, strong close-range firepower, and easy to carry and use, and the original gun structure remains unchanged. ), cancel the original 7.62x25 mm Type 51 bullet, change the caliber to 11.43x23 mm, and the magazine can be used for 20, 30, and 50 rounds. The model designation was set as the 1931 Type A1 11.43 mm portable special forces submachine gun. In addition, at a distance of 200 meters, it is best to use the German Bergman M/P18 straight magazine submachine gun (gun length: 815 mm, gun weight: 4.17 kg, feed mode is a straight magazine: 20/32 round magazine, rate of fire: 400 rounds / min, muzzle velocity 520 meters per second. The firing range is 230 meters), and the original 7.63x25 mm Mauser and 9x19 mm Luger pistol rounds are replaced with 11.43x23 mm A/C/P rounds, and the magazines of 20, 30, and 50 rounds can be used. The designation of the model was set as the 1931 A2 11.43 mm infantry assault rifle. Ha, the hand/gun bullets and ammunition can be used universally, which saves a lot of trouble, and this will not cause adverse consequences to the logistics troops.

For light machine guns, just choose the classic American-made Browning M1918A2 automatic rifle. Empty gun weight: [7.2 kg (A1), empty gun weight: 8.8 kg (A2), total length 1214 mm (47.8 inches), barrel length 610 mm 24 inches (Browning-Automatic-Rifle abbreviated as BAR)] Light machine gun for the improved version of the system (design: Browning automatic rifle adopts the principle of reality, fires .30-60 rifle rounds, and is fed by a 20-round detachable magazine. A cylindrical flame suppressor is installed in the muzzle of the barrel. The receiver is machined from a single block of steel, so it appears stout and sturdy in appearance, and the lever is located on the left side of the receiver. The original 0.30-60 inch Springfield rifle cartridge (7.62x63 mm) was replaced by a 7x64 mm cartridge, and the original articulated non-detachable barrel design was replaced by a detachable mounting design, with 6 long grooves on the barrel as reinforcing ribs. The foldable bipod mounted on the muzzle flame suppressor was cancelled and replaced with a piston barrel, the rear of the butt with a folded butt plate and the prepared monopod were retained, the gauge of the same model used on the gun was retained M1919A4 the machine gun, the metal shuttle trigger ring was added to facilitate the replacement of the magazine, and the semi-automatic shooting was retained, in which the rate of fire in full automatic was adjustable in two gears, which was revised to 750-900 rounds / min and 1150-1300 rounds / min respectively, and the whole gun was made of space-smelted metal, The weight is reduced to 6.5 kg. In addition, a saddle twin drum with a capacity of 150 rounds of 7 mm ammunition is used. The designation of the model was set as the 1931 model 7 mm light machine gun. Better than the Z/B26 20-round magazine, even if the Z/B26 is replaced with a 30-round magazine, the firepower is still a problem, and the Z/B26 LMG can only use so much ammunition, which is far inferior to the M1931 7mm LMG that can use 150 rounds of drums.

However, the semi-automatic rifles of conventional infantry can choose from two very classic firearms: the first is based on the 7.62x51 mm M1 Garand rifle, the caliber is changed to 7x64 mm, muzzle velocity: 865 m/s unchanged, effective range: increased range of 270 meters to 1000 meters, maximum range of 2750 meters, firing mode: semi-automatic, full gun length: 1107 mm, full gun weight: 4.75 kg with bayonet reduced to 2.375 kg, ammunition capacity: use a 20-round magazine, Saddle double feed with 150 rounds of 7 mm ammunition. The model designation was set as the 1931 Type A2 7mm semi-automatic rifle. The second is based on the 7.62x39 mm S/KS semi-automatic rifle or the 7.62x39 mm Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, the caliber is changed to 7x64 mm (the original bullet is 7.62x39 mm intermediate bullet or Type 56 7.62x39 mm rifle cartridge), muzzle velocity: 735 m/s, combat rate of fire 35~40 rounds / min, effective range: 400 meters, gauge range: 1000 meters, maximum range: 1500 meters, firing mode: semi-automatic, full gun length: 1025 mm, full gun weight (unloaded): 3.85 kg, barrel length 521 mm, rifling: 4, right-hand rotation, magazine capacity: 10 rounds of magazine changed to 20 rounds of magazine, can be loaded with 150 rounds of 7 mm saddle double drum feed. The model designation was set as the 1931 Type A1 7mm semi-automatic rifle. Hmph, Hanyang-made and 1888 Commission 7.92mm rifle, German-made Mauser 98K-7.92mm rifle, Russian-made Mosin Nagant 7.62mm water-beaded rifle, British-made Lee. The Enfield 4 7.7mm 10-round short-magazine rifle is a bolt-action rifle that is not automatic, and it is difficult to match it in terms of firepower. Just Lee. The Enfield Type 4 is so-so and can compete with the S/KS and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles in terms of rate of fire, and I still keep the 1931 Type A1 semi-automatic rifle.

The medium-caliber heavy machine gun is the same classic Browning 7.62 mm M1919A4 air-cooled heavy machine gun is changed to 7 mm, and the large-caliber heavy machine gun is the legendary classic Browning 12.7 mm M2H/B heavy machine gun, I only think of these guns at the moment. Zhao Heng flipped through his mind, and it took him a long time to decide on the weapons and equipment to use, and then he selected a large number of 7mm firearms on the system interface in one go.

"So, the commander has selected these guns, and there is no squad, platoon, or company to support the artillery fire, what kind of firepower will our infantry use to cover?" Donlina asked.

"Ha, yes. Then the 60 mm caliber mortars of the squad, platoon, and company use the American M224A1 portable 60 mm mortar, you must know that this thing is an upgraded model of the original M224 type, weighing 16.1-21.1 kg (35.4-47 pounds), in order to be easy to carry, the M224 mortar can be broken down into several parts. It weighs 6.5 kg (14.4 lb) with a barrel, 6.9 kg (15.2 lb) with a tripod and 1.1 kg (2.5 lb) with a scope. The mortar of the M224A1 type has two bases. The standard base weighs 6.5 kg (14.4 lb) and the light base weighs 1.6 kg (3.6 lb). The 60 mm** weighs approximately 1.6 kg (3.5 lb) and has a range between 2,000 and 3,500 meters. The M224 mortar can use long-range shells (3500 meters), replace the Inconel 718 alloy barrel and tripod with space smelting metal alloy and a plastic manufacturing process, reduce the total weight of the mortar to 8.05-10.55 kg, the standard base weighs 3.75 kg, the light base weighs 0.8 kg, the barrel weighs 3.75 kg, the tripod weighs 3.45 kg, and the scope weighs 0.55 kg. In this way, there is support firepower for squad, platoon, and company combat infantry. Hmph, the little devils will have them better at that time. By the way, there's still a military kettle missing. Let's use the new 10-type kettle of the later rabbit P-LA. Zhao Heng thought for a while and came up with the new famous M224A1 portable 60mm mortar of the later American emperor, and then imagined that the little devil had the same caliber and far less range than his own garbage mortar, and he could only watch his soldiers go to hell in the dense ** rain. Even if the little devils took out their Type 89 50-mm grenadiers and Type 92 infantry guns with a short legged range, it was useless.
