Chapter 148: Crazy machine gun fire
"Dada......"
There was no need to aim, only the muzzle of the gun was slightly lowered, and it was pointed at the cavalry on horseback. The machine gun erupted a tongue of fire, and countless bullets poured out of the muzzle. Li Chu held his breath, and the whole person trembled with the recoil from the machine gun.
The group of cavalry that charged up first didn't even have time to react, and was shot in the body in an instant, and the body was blown up.
Arms were knocked out, chests were broken, hearts were blown out, and some heads were also blown out.
Countless blood mist burst out, just like dumplings, and in a breath of time, the first thirty or so riders who rushed up all fell off their horses in an instant, and there was no one left.
The air was filled with a bloody mist that had been blasted by the huge design force.
The horses were frightened and ran around.
On the ground, all the corpses were not humanoid, some were lucky enough to only be shot once, and some were unlucky, and their whole bodies were blasted into flesh by armor-piercing bullets fired at high speed.
On the anti-aircraft machine gun, the single bullet company was completely gone.
Li Chu hurriedly got back into the tank, quickly grabbed a few bullets from a wooden box at the position of the loader and put them on his body, quickly drilled out again, and put a chain of bullets back on the anti-aircraft machine gun.
"Dada......"
The time was too short, and the group of cavalry couldn't react at all, plus the targets were all staring at Li Chu, so they didn't look at their teammates next to them for a while. By the time the group of cavalry realized that something was wrong, Li Chu's bullets had already been reloaded.
The anti-aircraft machine gun again spat out tongues of fire.
While strafing and turning the machine guns, the group of cavalry rushing over could not dodge at all, and were directly hit by machine gun bullets.
Clouds of blood mist burst out of his body, and he was punched out one hole after another, especially the riders who rushed to the front, flying directly from their horses to their horses.
How did the power of the machine gun change?
This time, the power of the machine gun fire was not as great as it was just now, and the bullet hit the cavalry, but it only made a bloody hole, and it did not have the same effect as the bullet in the front of it.
What's going on?
Li Chu didn't have time to think about it, so he had to keep pulling the trigger.
Another bullet was emptied, and the front of the tank was cleared, except for the horse that had lost its knight, there was no cavalry in sight in front of the tank.
It was only at this moment that the group of cavalry reacted in horror. Seeing the river of blood flowing in front of the tank, it was simply hell, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head, turned around and ran back.
Different from the previous cavalry, this cavalry's equestrian skills and quality are obviously a notch higher, and when he sees that the opportunity is wrong, he does not tighten the reins of the horse and brake, but the whole person goes to the side of the horse and forcibly turns the horse sharply in the other direction.
When more than 300 horsemen rushed over, they immediately dispersed in both directions.
Li Chu reloaded the chain again and turned the machine gun around.
Each bullet chain has 100 bullets, just two bullet chains, Li Chu has already knocked out more than 150 rounds, looking at the lonely horses on the ground, there are about 70 horses, that is to say, at least 70 people have been killed just now.
This cavalry came and went like the wind, and by the time Li Chu turned the muzzle of the machine gun, most of them had fled to both sides.
"Da-da-da-da-da."
Although many of the cavalry fled, there were still some cavalry who could not see the front, and by the time they tried to turn around, they were too late to turn around, and they rushed directly past the tanks, and the bullets spit out at high speed from the machine guns burst out one bloody hole after another directly on their bodies.
This was the time when Li Chu's marksmanship was at its most accurate, and almost every cavalryman who whizzed past the tank was shot several times, and fell off his horse and fell to the ground before he ran a few steps and died.
Another bullet chain was gone, and all the cavalry near the tank had been knocked off their horses, and the rest saw that the opportunity was not good, and they had already fled some distance in a hurry.
Damn it.
Li Chu mounted the last bullet chain on his body on the machine gun, raised the muzzle of the gun a little, and fired again at the fleeing cavalry, who were still within the range of the machine gun.
The bullet chain was blessed, and Li Chu's hands were numb from the shock.
The effect of this hundred rounds was very poor, the hit rate was a little low, only twenty or thirty horses were hit, and several times the horse was also hit, and the rider fell in a pool of blood.
Li Chu stood on the tank, breathing violently and panting.
recalled that among the cavalry that was strafed just now, there was no old general of the Song Dynasty.
Originally, Li Chu planned to kill him first, but by the time he touched the machine gun, it was too late, so he could only sweep the cavalry rushing over, and this sweep forgot about this old thing.
At this moment, it is estimated that this old thing is far away.
After waiting for a while, he stood on the turret and looked at the fleeing cavalry, which was too far away to catch up. He turned around and beckoned in the direction of the city tower, and Ning Rong immediately understood and rushed to this side with his soldiers.
Li Chu got back inside the tank and re-loaded the anti-aircraft machine gun.
At this time, he found that there were several wooden boxes where the elastic chain was placed, and the English letters written on the wooden box were also different.
After counting the number again, there are currently 105 bullet chains left in this tank.
One bullet is 100 rounds, that is, there are 150,000 rounds left here.
Li Chu: ......
Last time, when Li Chu was looking for the magazine of the assault rifle, he didn't find the chains of these boxes, and Li Chu didn't expect that there were so many bullets in this machine gun, as high as nearly 10,000 rounds.
But soon, Li Chu discovered another problem.
The wooden box with the chain was printed in English, and the amount was the same for the two different English.
5,000 rounds each.
No, one has 5,400 rounds, and the other has 5,100 rounds.
This amount made Li Chu confused.
But soon, Li Chu found another bullet chain.
This chain was found at the gunner, placed in a side-by-side machine gun next to the barrel.
I see.
I see, when he saw this side-by-side machine gun, Li Chu understood that when he shot just now, the bullets fired from the back were not as powerful as those in the front chain, and the number of bullets in this magazine was different.
If you take into account the chain of ammunition on the parallel machine gun, plus the five magazines consumed, then the total number of secondary ammunition in the tank is actually 11,000 rounds, and the two different English on the wooden box represent two different ammunition.
One was armor-piercing shells for anti-aircraft machine guns, which amounted to five and a half thousand rounds.
One is the ordinary ammunition for parallel machine guns, which also has 5,500 rounds.
Later, Li Chu loaded the anti-aircraft machine gun with ordinary machine gun bullets, so the power dropped and was not as shocking as the armor-piercing bullet.
In the Leopard 1 tank, the models of the parallel machine gun and the anti-aircraft machine gun are the same, both belong to the German MG3 general-purpose type, and the bullet specifications of the two are also the same, both are 7.62mm and can be mixed with machine gun cartridges.
As for the reason, it has to be a logistical problem during World War II, unifying the caliber, one is to reduce costs, the second can make the compatibility of bullets stronger, one shot can be multi-bullet, so that the bullets are not finished and cannot be replenished, and the third can produce more bullets faster to transport to the battlefield.
After Ning Rong rushed over with people, he didn't need Li Chu's orders, looked at the war horses scattered nearby, and immediately led people over to arrest them.
Horses, this is the basis of his cavalry.
Ning Rong worked harder than anyone else.
