Chapter XXIII Research and Development of Weapons
In the following time, Sun Hao opened schools, military schools, factories, and hospitals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although these people who came over the transaction all spoke Mandarin, their knowledge was not high, and after a period of verification, Sun Hao found that they could only reach the diploma of the primary school in the future.
Sun Hao traded the factory equipment, but no one knew how to use it, so he had to throw the technical information and instructions to those workers, and then traded a large number of parts with Li Gang, so that they could slowly learn to assemble them and let them slowly explore by themselves.
The gun factory and the military academy, Sun Hao focused on it, because Sun Hao was quite familiar with guns.
Two months later, Sun Hao successfully converted the 98K rifle, which was originally a single-shot rifle, into an automatic rifle with a 10-round magazine, which can be fired in a single shot or in bursts. As for AK rifles, Sun Hao also wants to make them, but he doesn't have the industrial strength.
At the same time, the box gun and Maxine machine gun at the top of the Daimyo were also developed by Sun Hao.
The prestige of the box gun was created in China, and during the warlord melee of the Republic of China, 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. At that time there were even such units as pistol brigades.
The Mauser military pistol has played out 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, it is fair to say that 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 military pistol can never be erased, because it was the Mauser military pistol that accompanied the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians through those difficult and turbulent years, and it was no longer a lifeless weapon, but a historical witness of the spirit of the Chinese people.
In the dramas of the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, almost all of them had box guns, and some masters with guns performed the box guns to the fullest, firing two guns at once, constantly firing, and the chic 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 good gun in the minds of the Chinese people.
The box shell magazine made by Sun Hao is also in the number of 20, which can be fired in a single shot or as a submachine gun burst.
If you want to make these artillery, with the current industry, it is impossible, Sun Hao has to exchange parts for workers to assemble, and slowly learn experience in the assembly, so as to build a hero foundation for artillery and shells in the future.
It's the same with guns, they all buy parts to assemble. However, the box cannon was restricted by the trader and could not trade parts, but Sun Hao taught the workers to make it himself. Similarly, rifles and machine guns were restricted, but Sun Hao taught the workers to assemble and transform them.
The box gun was named the Huaxia Type 1795 pistol by Sun Hao, the Maxine MG08-15 model was named the Huaxia Type 1795 heavy machine gun, and the 98K rifle was named the Huaxia Type 1795 automatic rifle.
The power of the Maxine machine gun is self-evident, and in the First World War, the widespread use of the Maxine machine gun greatly changed the combat pattern of the ground battlefield. For infantry on the battlefield of World War I, each charge was a "fatal rendezvous" with death - waiting for them was a rain of bullets and bullets from the flames of a machine gun, so much so that some people compared the machine gun to "the sickle in the hand of death".
In 1893, in Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe), Africa, 50 British colonial troops used 4 Maxine machine guns to stop a fierce attack by 5,000 Zulus. It is said that after the battle, 3,000 corpses were left on the battlefield. In 1898, during the Battle of Omdurman in Sudan, 20,000 Islamic dervishes were massacred by the British invading army, and an estimated 15,000 fell in front of the Makqin machine gun position. During the Boer War, which began in 1899, the Boers were also devastated by the Maxim machine guns as they charged. In fact, it was not so much a "war" as a one-sided massacre with the Maxim machine gun.
It was the Battle of the Somme in World War I that really gave Europeans a first-hand taste of the lethality of machine guns. In late June 1916, in order to break the strategic stalemate in the war against Germany and at the same time reduce the pressure on the German army in the Verdun direction, the British and French forces launched an offensive against the German positions in the Somme region in northern France.
However, the German defenders relied on carefully arranged defensive positions in large depth, with an average fire density of one Maxim MG08 machine gun per 100 meters, to fire wildly at the 14 British divisions that were the main attack on the 40-kilometer-wide frontal battlefield. During this period, the highest record for the Maxim machine gun was 60,000 casualties on British soldiers in a single day.
It can be seen that the power of the Maxin heavy machine gun is extraordinary, and the Maxin machine gun is considered to be the most murderous firearm of all time, and at least more than 1 million people have been killed by the Maxin machine gun. When the Maxim machine gun appeared, people realized that human beings were so terrible that they could kill each other in such a terrible way. Thousands of soldiers sacrificed their young lives in the First World War, and an entire generation of young women was deprived of the usual opportunity to marry and become mothers. In Britain, there are two million single women who die alone, which shows the horror of the Maxim machine gun on the battlefield.
The Maxine heavy machine gun that Sun Hao got is not an ordinary Maxine, but an improved Maxine MG08-15 model that the German army was looking for experience in a major war, reducing weight, easy to carry and carry on the battlefield, and setting up a quick point of fire, the machine gun has a total of 69kg of cooling water, 65kg of cooling water, 26.5kg of gun body, 4kg of water, and 38.5kg of tripod.
As for artillery, Sun Hao directly developed and assembled French rapid-fire guns, and 75mm caliber, 105mm caliber, and 150mm calibers are all being assembled. At the same time, Sun Hao is also developing Type 92 infantry guns, grenades, and mortars.
The Type 92 infantry gun is a very excellent weapon in the armament of the Kou army, 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.
There is no doubt that mortars are a must-have weapon in 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 grenade is a small hand-thrown ammunition that can attack and defend, and it is also a widely used and large-scale ammunition. It can both kill and damage living targets, as well as destroy tanks and armored vehicles. Hand grenades have played an important role in previous wars because of their small size, small mass, and easy to carry and use.
The grenade has a simple structure and is inexpensive. Due to the large amount of grenade equipment and consumption, under the premise of ensuring the safety and reliability of use, the general structure is very simple, only two parts, the projectile body and the fuse, the projectile body is made of cast iron or thin steel sheet, iron sheet or plastic, and the cost is low. Easy to operate and easy to use. The grenade is the easiest of all weapons and ammunition to operate, it does not require any throwing device, nor does it require any complicated operating procedures and additional conditions, as long as you know the simple operation method, you can use it.
