Chapter 157: The Depressed Dean

The two future marshals of the Soviet Union fell hopelessly in love with the new weapon in their hands, and for nothing else, its tiger-like appearance alone made people want to stop getting their hands on it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Rokossovsky, loaded!" Lin Jun had to remind the two guys who had lost their minds a little.

After a 10-minute introduction, Rokossovsky and Malinovsky had a basic understanding of the AK47's operation methods and performance characteristics, and they were eager to go to the academy range to test the gun.

The Military Academy of the General Staff has its own standard firearms shooting range with a depth of 1,500 meters and first-class facilities. Lin Jun asked Leonov to inform the academy that he was going to the shooting range to test the gun, and that he needed the academy guard to provide a first-class secrecy defense.

Dean Ivan Timofeevich Shremin, who received the notice, was a little confused: "Don't poke any basket for me!" ”

Although Shi Remin is the dean of the college, this special refresher class is a mixed bag, and almost all of the guys who come have a background. The dean has his own power, and it is impossible for the students to challenge his authority, and the average student has nothing to do with the academy no matter how high the military rank is, and the dean here is the boss! But this time the situation is really different, because there is an Andre in it.

Shi Leming's military rank is only brigade commander, and he can control a group of division-level and army-level commanders from field units, but the first deputy political commissar of the General Armament Department is not among them.

The cadets informed the academy that they were going to test their guns, and that they were also required to defend themselves in secrecy -- not to mention the Military Academy of the General Staff, which is estimated to have not occurred in any of the military academies of the Soviet Union.

There was a first time in everything, and Shi Remin immediately notified the guards to arrange and ran to Comrade Andrei's dormitory to see what was going on.

Lin Jun's position gives him access to the latest weapons, and the dean is responsible for the academy and must go and see it (according to the student's private test of the gun, it is a serious violation of the academy's rules. )。 Originally, I wanted to learn something about the situation from Leonov, but soon Shiremin once again understood the simplest truth at present - you can do whatever the senior agents of the "Cheka" want you to do, don't ask why, even if you ask, you won't get any answer.

Fortunately, there were only three cadets led by Andrei in the dormitory, but there were also 5 staff officers guarding the door with loaded guns. Deggarev had dealt with Shremin before, and the arrival of the famous designer made the dean think he understood why the test needed a first-class secrecy defense.

"Alright, comrades, it's time to come, go to the shooting range." Lin Jun was already a little impatient.

"Deggalev, what's going on?" Shi Lemin asked privately.

"Don't ask, Level 1 Secret." Deggalev put out a score, "Since Comrade Andrey didn't say anything, you can go and see it together, but this time it is a top secret, just read it and don't ask, you understand the rules, my old friend." ”

Of course, the dean understood the meaning of the first-class secretβ€”that is, he didn't want to know the safest thing, but Deggalev said so, and he went with him in the car.

"What kind of gun is in the box?" Shi Lemin thought.

、、、、、、

Skillfully handling the gun and shooting, the familiar sound of gunfire made Lin Jun feel like returning to his previous life: holding Type 56 in his hand, he did not panic no matter what kind of danger he was in.

Today, Lin Jun is not a student, but an instructor, Rokossovsky, Malinovsky, and several other security personnel are all students of Lin Jun, and the fierce firepower of the AK47 immediately left a strong impression on everyone - this new weapon with a powerful appearance is the same as it is on the outside!

Shremin, who was silent on the sidelines, was even more shocked: he had seen only a small number of PPD34 submachine guns in production (designer Digtyaev, the first successful submachine gun in the Soviet Union. On this test-firing effort, the dean has come to the conclusion that except for the drum with a feeding capacity less than the PPD34, the PPD34 is simply an ugly toy compared to the new submachine gun in front of him!

"No, this is not a submachine gun, nor is it one of those fully automatic rifles made abroad in the intelligence!" Shi Remin thought to himself.

As an experienced veteran with access to the latest equipment, he knew that the brand-new firearm in front of him could no longer be classified as any kind of familiarity, and even the ammunition used was the first time he had seen it: not pistol cartridges or standard rifle cartridges.

Due to Lin Jun's suggestion to "attach importance to the production of submachine guns" in the past two years, the production of the basic model of PPD34 is no longer a pitiful 67 units in history, but it is also pitiful, and the output of the Mosin-Nagant rifle is almost negligible. Although it was only a short period of time, Shi Lemin was sure that if the weapon in front of him could be adapted to large-scale production, it would have an earth-shaking impact on the development of light weapons in the Red Army and even in the world.

The AK47 has the problem that the muzzle is easy to jump up, Lin Jun knows it, and the officer who tested it also knows, but no one cares about this little problem - add an anti-jump device to the muzzle? Lin Jun didn't have that kind of effort, and he would get used to it after a few more times. Switching to AKM's direct support? Lin Jun has only seen but never used AKM, and he has no time to study it, so he can only rest assured that he has the Type 56 that his father trusted on the battlefield in Vietnam!

Lin Jun's father was able to hit the wild pigeon parked on the cliff 150 meters away with the Type 56 submachine gun, Lin Jun in his previous life had this marksmanship before entering the Air Force Academy, which was piled up with more than 100,000 rounds of bullets! The accuracy of the AK47 is not the best, but it is sufficient, and the most important thing is that it is easy to manufacture, simple to operate, reliable and reliable, even people who have never touched it will quickly learn to use it, just like the current Malinovsky, who has only tested a few magazine bullets and is already like an old shooter.

"Andrey, this is the weapon that a soldier needs! It was just perfect! Malinovsky said happily with Lin Jun.

The firing range is longer than that of a submachine gun, the power is greater than that of a submachine gun, the negative effects and mobility caused by bursts, and the weight is in the perfect balance, and the reliability is according to Deggalev: you can use the butt of the gun to smash the big lock on the door if necessary, and you can still hit it even if it is soaked in muddy water!

Rokossovsky here has more insight when holding the folding support: "It can be used not only to equip ordinary troops, but also to artillery, airborne troops, armored troops and logistics units, and this folding support model is suitable for any environment." If combined with a small number of sniper detachments, the infantry units equipped with it are invincible to engage the same amount of infantry! ”

The two were right, the AK47 was perfect, it wasn't delicate but reliable, and it was a warrior's most trusted companion, as countless battles throughout history have proven it to be, whether it's the jungles of Southeast Asia or the scorching deserts of the Middle East and Africa.

"Comrades, it is like my children, and the war will change because of it." Taking the gun handed over by Rokossovsky, Lin Jun said with some affection, "The next thing to do is to give it enough room for development." ”

It was not difficult to get Stalin to agree to mass production, but it is not known how difficult it would be for the hardcore supporters of the high-powered rifle to get it.

"Deggalev, if it is mass-produced, how much do you estimate the annual output will be?"

"If only Izhevsk is fully produced, according to our estimate of difficulty, we can produce 30 to 400,000 units this year, and next year I can guarantee an annual production of 1 million units. The ammunition aspect is also basically enough to meet the demand. ”

"If by 41 the front-line infantry of the Red Army can be equipped with 2 million AK47s, with other equipment, I will see how you can hit Moscow!" I thought viciously in my heart.

"I'll fight for the production target, and you go back to prepare for mass production. If there is any outside interference, come to me directly, or call Comrade Alexander. ”

Lin Jun ate the scales and was iron-hearted.

"Comrade Andrey, I would like to use it as a prototype to design a light machine gun with the same ammunition as a group of squad weapons."

I didn't expect that Deg Galev could find an extension point from the AK47 and creatively put forward the concept of "squad weapon", knowing that the RPD light machine gun (the prototype of the Type 56 light machine gun) used with the AK47 in history. It's the work of Deg Galev, but now the designer's inspiration is a few years ahead.

"I have a request, give up the cartridge disc and use the cartridge chain, and the detachable cartridge box can be used for ammunition."

"One more thing, I also designed a 70-round drum for it, but the weight is a bit large, I didn't bring it this time, do you think you want to make a batch in small batches?"

Lin Jun patted Deggalev on the shoulder: "Forget about playing the drums, it will complicate the logistics, and history will prove that it only needs magazines." ”

It's not about robbing a bank, why do you want to get a drum for AK47, that will only complicate things. Later, some arms companies designed the high-capacity drums used in the AK47 and put them on the market, but this was as rushed as the lace news - it seems that no country has equipped its army with drums on a large scale, and there is a reason for this.

"Instead, the design of light machine guns should be tightened, so that the new infantry squads will have the right weapons. According to my estimates, even if it is mass-produced equipment, and in a few years there will be a large number of troops armed with old single-shot rifles and DP light machine guns of your original design, and the production pressure on Izhevsk will be unprecedented, so you have to withstand it. ”

"Serve the USSR!"

、、、、、、、

The test gun was successfully completed in this way, consuming more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, but leaving a small problem: Lin Jun and all the officers began to pick up cartridge casings everywhere, but after being busy for more than half an hour, there were still more than a dozen cartridge casings that could not be found.

"Comrade Dean launched a thorough search by the comrades of the guards, and every shell must be found."

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

After speaking, Shi Lieming realized that something was wrong, "I'm the highest official in the academy, right?" ”

Leaving the shooting range, Lin Junyi Rarokossovsky and Malinovsky called Deg Galev again: "Later, we will go to the Kremlin to meet Comrade Stalin, and tell Comrade Stalin all your feelings and thoughts about the trial production and test of the gun, brother, I will rely on you." ”

The opportunity to meet Stalin was not available to every high-ranking officer, and Lin Jun was the only one who treated the Kremlin as his grandmother's house. Just as he was about to leave, Shi Remin came to Lin Jun with the last 15 bullet casings.

"Comrade Andrey, I have already issued a gag order to the guard troops, you can rest assured, except for the people at the scene, no one will know about today's incident."

"Thank you, Comrade Dean." Lin Jun thought for a moment and asked: "What do you think of this new weapon********* it will greatly affect the existing infantry combat methods, and it can even be said to be a revolutionary design." ”

"Well, Comrade Dean, let's go to the Kremlin together and report to Comrade Stalin about the feeling of testing the gun. You want to make your point from a tactical and strategic perspective. ”

In this way, Shiremin was pulled onto the thief ship.

The three people who were dragged onto the boat by Lin Jun were a little frightened, especially Rokossovsky, who had only returned from a labor camp in Siberia for more than a month, and it was not a joke to go to the Kremlin.

"Just explain what you really think, and I'll take care of everything."

Arriving at the Kremlin, he handed over the two AK47s to Snornik, the captain of the guard who is now Stalin, and after more than an hour of audience, Lin Jun got the quota of first trial-producing 5,000 basic models and 2,000 folding pallets to be sent to the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs for trial.

Stalin seemed to be as interested in the two new rifles as everyone else, but the special gift made by Izhevsk for Lin Jun was confiscated by Stalin - until Lin Jun and the others left Stalin's office, he had no intention of returning the sample gun on his desk to Lin Jun.

"Assault rifle, very imposing!" Alone, Stalin looked at the AK47 in his office and said, "Little Andrey, how much more surprise do you want to bring me?" ”

"Comrade Andrey, tonight's train is going back to Izhevsk, and I can't accompany my comrades." Deggalev said after walking out of the Kremlin.

"So fast? Or go back after May Day, and I'll get you a good seat on the viewing platform. ”

"No, I'm not a little worried about the trial production work in the factory."

Lin Jun also had to go back to the equipment department, and asked Rokossovsky and Malinovsky before leaving: "Tomorrow every class, who will have time to go horseback riding together?" ”

If you don't have time, you have to be free, although both of them originally wanted to go home to spend time with their wives and children.

It's only a few days since May Day, and I still have to go to the racecourse. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
