Chapter Fifty-Eight: Another Weapon of Death in the Army

Of course, the changes that have taken place in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo cannot be hidden from the eyes of any force, especially the Japanese. For Mu Han, who is gradually coming to the forefront, he quickly entered the field of vision of the Japanese.

Of course, the Japanese special high school still doesn't know that Mu Han and Kihan Ichiro are the same person. Because Kihan Ichiro, who was disguised by Hou Chenfeng, after all, he appeared in various places in Mukden from time to time, and he was also very involved in the role of treasure hunting and senior staff officers of the Northeast Defense Agency. However, the Japanese still intensified their penetration into the northwest, and Japan paid great attention to the emerging forces that suddenly appeared in country Z. However, the spies they sent to the northwest were arrested as soon as they showed up as soon as they showed up, under the close supervision of the inspectors trained by Mu Han and Han Yun. You must know that Mu Han has most of the situation in his hands.

After the reorganization and deployment of the Longwei Army was completed and everything in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo was normalized, Mu Han was a little impatient to return to the northeast to prepare for the upcoming September 18 Incident, and it was now mid-August. Just as Mu Han was on his way, the visit of the German official corps and major arms companies forced him to continue to stay in the northwest.

On this day, Lieutenant Colonel Student and Major Shipper, German officers, led 500 German non-commissioned officers, representatives of well-known arms companies such as Mauser, Krupp, and Junkers, and 300 engineers and technicians finally arrived in Lancheng, Gansu Province.

"Dear Commander Muhan, it's such an honor to meet you! General Werner asked me to convey my best greetings to you! Saying that, Student and Shipper saluted Mu Han respectfully, and the 500 non-commissioned officers behind them were even more enthusiastic about presenting the German military salute to their idol "Oriental Magic Dragon" in a uniform manner.

Mu Han smiled and returned a German salute to them, "Thank you, General Werner, for your greetings!" Welcome to my homeland! I believe that you will miss this time in country Z very much in the near future. This will surely become the most precious memory of your life! ”

"Oh! We're seeing you again, and it's exciting to be working with you again! "Mauser, Krupp, Juncker representatives Boschi, Wilhelm, Crussier were very exaggerated and had a bear hug with Muhan.

Seeing these three people, Mu Han was also surprised, you must know that they are the top executives of these three companies with certain decision-making power. The fact that they were able to come to country Z in person made Muhan more confident in the comprehensive cooperation with Germany.

A sumptuous feast of country Z made these Germans, who were accustomed to Western food, drool for 3,000 feet, and the bellies they ate one by one were round.

After the banquet was withdrawn, the representatives of the German side, Student and Shipper, and the representatives of the German Fire Company, such as Boschi, William, Crusier and Muhan, came to the conference room.

"Commander Muhan, after receiving your invitation, the German Ministry of Defense attaches great importance to it, and General Werner specially instructed us that all the itinerary arrangements in country Z should be made by you personally, and we will obey it unconditionally!" Student said earnestly.

Mu Han praised the rigor and seriousness of the Germans, especially the Germans, and said, "Well, in the invitation letter I sent to you, I clearly pointed out that while you are studying special operations with me, you will also be responsible for training the grassroots officers of our army. In addition to special warfare tactics, I can also teach you some oriental martial arts to improve your individual combat ability. At the same time, I also ask you to pass on the advanced combat concepts and training methods of the German army to my junior officers without reservation. ”

Mu Han glanced at the newly appointed commander of the Dragon Eighth Division, Chen Shao'an, "Brother Chen, most of the recruits of the Dragon Eighth Division are recruits, and the Dragon Eighth Division now has no other combat missions except for security vigilance. When training in special operations, you can teach your German friends the syllabus of special training! Is there a problem! ”

Chen Shao'an originally never thought that Mu Han would let himself directly command a division, although he was also full of military books and tactics, but he had only commanded hundreds of cottage minions before, after studying at the Wolongshan Military Academy, he felt more and more that he was far behind, and now he had the opportunity to study and train with the elite of the German army, known as the first army in the world, Chen Shaoan was overjoyed, he immediately got up and saluted, "Everything obeys the commander-in-chief's arrangement!" ”

"Oh? Who is this? Major Shipper, the German officer, looked at Chen Shao'an with some doubts.

"Major Shipper, this is Chen Shao'an, the commander of my Dragon Eighth Division, he, you may not know. But Master Chen's master, Huo Yuanjia, you must have heard of it! After that, your officer corps will train with Commander Chen. ”

"What? Master Chen is the apprentice of Huo Yuanjia, a strong man who swept through the Eight Kingdoms? What a disrespect! Hearing Mu Han's introduction, Student and Shipper straightened up and shook hands with Chen Shao'an in turn. In the future, please give me more advice! ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say! Also ask my German friends to help train my recruit soldiers! ”

After the matter of cooperation with the German side was resolved, under the signal of Mu Han, Student and Shipper pulled Chen Shaoan out of the conference room.

"Three old friends, what gifts did you bring me this time!" Mu Han smiled and said to the representatives of the German Fire Company, Bosky, William, and Crusier.

"Oh, Mieshan, this time we have produced a sample of the drawing patent you left before returning to China, please check and appraise it."

"You mean, automatic rifles, howitzers, rocket launchers, and aircraft night vision systems?" Mu Han's face was moved, it turned out that Mu Han left behind the drawings and technical parameters of these weapons and equipment before leaving Germany.

Boschi, William, and Crossier all nodded.

"Qiao Yunpeng, you personally lead the Dragon Attendant Regiment, immediately martial law training ground, and no one will break in without my order and kill them directly!" Of course, Mu Han knew that these things would be commonplace in later generations, but now they are definitely epoch-making killing weapons, so they must be kept absolutely secret.

"Yes!" As the main general of Mu Hanlong's chamberlain, since he came into contact with Mu Han, it was the first time Qiao Yunpeng had seen Mu Han so serious, and he knew that the stakes were very high, so Qiao Yunpeng cautiously arranged it in person.

"Old friend, do you know, I thought these things would come out in a few years, you guys are amazing!" Mu Han said with some excitement.

"Miesham, without the drawings and technical parameters you provided, we don't know how long it will take us to study it ourselves! With these things, the military strength of both sides has risen to a great level. We're win-win, aren't we? ”

The Lancheng training ground where the Fifth Dragon Division was stationed, under the personal command of Qiao Yunpeng, had been surrounded by the dragon squire, and a cordon was set up within a radius of ten miles, and snipers were guarded at all commanding heights, and mobile posts patrolled various places from time to time.

Muhan and Boski, William, Crussier, and the arms developers of both sides opened tightly sealed boxes on the training ground.

The first thing to open was a case containing five automatic rifles and their various spare parts.

In fact, this automatic rifle was improved by Mu Han according to the famous Type 56 automatic rifle in the later Z** team, combined with the current technology and actual situation. The gun is automatically air-conductive, bolt-rotating locking, can carry out single and burst shooting, uses 762 mm bullets, feeds with a 30-round magazine, is equipped with a fixed grenade launcher, can fire 60 mm anti-tank grenades, can also fire 40 mm grenade series, and is equipped with a folding stabbing triangular military spur. Mu Han lengthened the rifling and body of the later Type 56 automatic rifle, and after being equipped with a scope, it is another sniper rifle with excellent performance at this stage. Full gun: length 1125 mm, gun weight 39 kg, magazine capacity 10 rounds, magazine feed 30 rounds, muzzle velocity 780 m / s, effective range 400 m, gauge range: 1500 m, maximum range 2500 m. At the same time, in order to solve the logistical pressure to the greatest extent, about 65 kinds of parts and components such as ammunition, automata, reentry machine, firing mechanism, gas conduction system, and ammunition supply equipment can be interchangeable with the MG34 machine gun improved by Muhan, and the common rate of other parts and components has reached 70%. That is to say, in the future, in addition to pistols, the Dragon Guard can only be equipped with one type of ammunition in terms of guns. This greatly reduced the production pressure of the already weak Longwei military enterprises.

Mu Han skillfully disassembled and assembled the gun, pulled the trigger of the empty gun with his right hand, felt that this index met his design requirements, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Yun Peng, you can try!" Mu Han instructed on the spot, and Qiao Yunpeng fumbled for a while and pressed the magazine into the gun.

"Da!" "Da!" "Da!" "Dada!" Qiao Yunpeng successively fired point shots and burst shots, and felt that this gun completely killed all kinds of guns in terms of recoil, rate of fire, and accuracy.

"Commander-in-chief! This gun is fantastic! In front of it, the rest of the rifles are simply rubbish! Qiao Yunpeng said ecstatically. The Germans on the side also cheered.

"There's an even bigger surprise!" Mu Han gestured to the grenade launcher on Qiao Yunpeng's gun.

So Qiao Yunpeng followed Mu Han's guidance just now, adjusted the tightness of his shoulder to the butt, stuffed a grenade into the grenade launcher, opened the sight, aimed at the target made of 50mm thick steel plate set up a hundred meters in front, took a deep breath, and then pulled the trigger.

In an instant, a flash of fire hit the steel target, and then a loud bang came, and I saw a hole with a diameter of half a meter being blown out of the thick steel plate.

Everyone except Mu Han was stunned.

Qiao Yunpeng looked stupid and said: "Commander-in-chief, with this thing, chariots, pillboxes, any defense is in vain!" ”

Mu Han shook his head and glanced at everyone in the circle, "The emergence of new weapons will inevitably bring new ways of fighting, the howitzer can destroy various lightly armored targets, permanent fire points and other field fortifications, which greatly improves the infantry's combat ability to deal with point, surface targets and anti-armor on the battlefield, but it is not unbreakable, individual soldiers must strike at the target at close range, which also gives the defending side an opportunity." Let's study and study carefully in the future, how to better defend! ”

In the next rocket artillery tests, the effect and shock produced are not to be said.

In fact, the prototype of rocket artillery still comes from country Z, and the earliest rocket burst devices and salvo devices were also invented by people in country Z. Mao Yuanyi, a native of the Ming Dynasty of the Z country, completed the book "Wubei Zhi" in 1621, and recorded that there are dozens of kinds of rockets and their launching devices, including a "swarm of bees" and "a group of leopards running arrows" that can launch 32 and 40 rockets at a time, a "hundred tigers running arrows" and "a group of eagles chasing rabbit arrows" that can be fired twice in a row, which can be regarded as the original prototype of modern rocket artillery.

The samples used for testing this time were improved by Mu Han on the basis of the later famous "Katyusha" rocket artillery. The weapon is mounted on the chassis of a truck, equipped with a rail-type orienter, which can be combined with 32 132-mm tail rockets with a maximum range of about 8,500 meters.

Now, for the sake of secrecy, Muhan had to adjust the range trajectory with his own hands with German technicians. After debugging, Mu Han turned on the transmitter switch with his own hands. I saw that when the rocket launcher in the field was launched, countless flying fire dragons covered the set target in an instant. The thunderous roar of the tiger, the momentum of the mountains and seas. It caused great fear and shock in the depths of everyone's hearts.

William, the representative of the Krupp company, took a deep breath and said with an unusually serious expression: "Miesham, with rocket artillery, are the other artillery all going to be eliminated?" Then our company will have to readjust a lot of industries! "After seeing the power of rocket artillery, almost everyone felt that the other artillery pieces had lost their effectiveness.

Mu Han smiled slightly, "Rocket artillery has the advantages of simple structure, fierce firepower, high rate of fire, long range, fast response, strong surprise attack, and large coverage, but it also has great limitations and drawbacks, its accuracy is poor, and it cannot carry out precision strikes; The amount of ammunition consumed is staggering, and the logistical pressure is extremely high. It cannot be used to attack targets that are too close to your forces, nor can it be used in areas that your forces are about to occupy or pass through. Therefore, its role is not as good as imagined, and it can only be used to carry out specific combat missions. ”

Seeing that everyone looked enlightened, Mu Han continued to Chen Shao'an, Qiao Yunpeng, and the German officials Stepent, Shipper and others: "I just said that the emergence of new weapons will inevitably bring new ways of fighting. In fact, each weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages, and all of them are uncrackable. In specific battles, this requires commanders to give full consideration to many factors, such as the disposition of weapons on both sides of the enemy, the quality of the troops, and the strategic objectives, and then adopt corresponding combat methods. In a word, weapons are not omnipotent. The key is to see how to use it and who to use it! Therefore, a good commander must always strengthen learning, analysis, and observation. ”

The shock brought by today is enough, enough for everyone to digest, plus the venue, security and other reasons, Mu Han did not immediately test the aircraft's night vision system. Instead, he waited until the evening.

In this period, a test flight at night is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide. The Germans, who are known for their rigor, are not lacking in adventurous spirit, but in order to cultivate the experience of young Dragon Guard air force fighters in all aspects, Mu Han still boldly made the decision to let the Dragon Guard soldiers of country Z take the first flight mission of night flight.

"Dear Commander Mu, it's not that I look down on your air force pilots, but it is undeniable that they are all students of Claire. Although Claire is excellent, in the Luftwaffe, he is not the best! The German non-commissioned officers who came to the northwest of country Z for special training this time are all the best non-commissioned officers carefully selected from all branches of our army. Therefore, I implore that this test flight be changed from single engine to double engine, in case of problems, there are two pilots to face together, and it can also play a good purpose of learning and exchange. Lieutenant Colonel Student, the representative of the German side, said very sincerely.

Mu Han was not ashamed of Student's somewhat disparaging words about the pilots of the Dragon Guard. So he knew that what Student said was entirely true. "Lieutenant Colonel Stockent, thank you for your sincerity, just do as you say!"

Thankfully, the night flight was a great success. After various tests and technical indicators, the two aircraft landed safely and intact. In fact, the ability to fly at night was indeed available when the plane first came out. However, this is all due to the pilot's own eyesight and excellent skills. Because at night, especially when there is no starlight, pilots have no way to distinguish between the sky and the ground, and there is no way to distinguish between the sea and the sky on a starlit night. There is no way to know the altitude, there is no way to observe the condition of the aircraft. The most important thing is not being able to know where you are. Therefore, during this period, the air force planes were dispatched at night unless they encountered an emergency, and they were also carrying out some flight and transportation tasks, and they did not carry out actual combat at all.

Although Mu Han is not a professional, as a military fan in later generations, he has rich knowledge and a wide range of knowledge, and he still put forward relevant concepts and design schemes and some simple data based on some introductions on the Internet and some journals and magazines. But I didn't expect the Germans to develop a real night combat system in such a short period of time. On the secret airport of the Dragon Guard Army, which was empty for a while, all the members of the Dragon Guard Army and the German ** official group broke out into warm applause and shouts. Together, they witnessed this great historical moment. Since then, the Air Force has finally been able to operate 24 hours a day, which is undoubtedly an epoch-making progress for the Air Force.

Mu Han looked at the excited crowd in the field, and said with a very cold face: "Brothers, German friends, after a whole day of testing today, I think everyone is very clear about the importance of these weapons and equipment. Therefore, I demand that everyone must strictly abide by the rules of secrecy, and if there is a leak and the consequences are unimaginable, then I will personally hunt down the leaker. At the same time, German friends, you must inform your Ministry of Defense that the night combat system of aircraft cannot be transferred to any country other than country Z for 10 years, otherwise all our cooperation will be terminated immediately. I also don't mind being an enemy of the German army. ”

"Yes! Follow the orders of the commander-in-chief (Commander Mu)! Everyone replied solemnly and respectfully
