The staff officers were a little skeptical about whether these two weapons were really so powerful, and asked whether these two weapons were in kind, of course, there were real things, from 12.7 to 35 mm, a total of 8 grades, all of which were in kind, and these were all firearms or small artillery, which was not too big a problem for the northwest, which had all kinds of complete processing capabilities. Among them, the ban on machine guns has been lifted, and machine guns have been detained, from 12.7, 14.6, 17.5 and 20.5 calibers, they can be tested by the staff officers one by one.

The experimental gun factory, which covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, has done a good job of clearing the field at this time, and the special sounding balloon, after calculation, rushed into a certain proportion of mixed gas, which can ensure that after he rises to a certain height, stop, the problem of air buoyancy is a very simple problem for the northwest where science and technology have developed in an all-round way.

There are a total of four sounding balloons, 800 meters, 1500 meters, 2500 meters and 4000 meters, which represent the range of these weapons.

The sounding balloon flew up, getting higher and higher, in fact, these sounding balloons are not big, that is, a few cubes are so big, they look not small on the ground, once they rise into the air, they will be very small, especially at an altitude of 4000 meters, almost a small balloon, with the naked eye, almost unclear. Although the staff officers who participated were not proficient in measurement, they basically understood the height when they looked at it. This is a scientific experiment.

4 anti-aircraft machine guns were placed in the test ground. Originally, according to anti-aircraft machine guns. It is a little more than the double and quadruple, and in later generations there even appeared eight companies of dense arrays, and only within a certain range can more firepower be concentrated to be able to erect a solid barrier for the air defense.

However, now it is an experiment, and it is only a single tube, and only the staff and some high-ranking military officials participate, but officers and staff officers who have experience in the army and are familiar with weapons can see it. This is a light machine gun that was turned over, it seems that the barrel is longer, and they also know that in the case of a longer barrel, it can bring a larger initial velocity, but is this okay, can it hit to such a high height, 800 meters and 1500 meters are still alive, but 2500 meters and 4000 meters. It was simply not an area that could be touched, and for them, it was hard to think of.

But one machine gun after another, especially the caliber is getting bigger and bigger. The barrel is getting longer and thicker, which seems to give them confidence. When the soldiers were loading the anti-aircraft machine guns with ammunition, they found the drag bullets. This weapon, which has been used more and more deeply from air combat, has become the standard for anti-air and air-to-air weapons. There are only clear light bombs. In order to be able to clarify the position and target, the vast air, when there is no reference, it is easy to hit the air, which is also the most suitable and simplest use of early air combat weapons.

The soldiers who can come here are definitely the elite of the elite, and may be inferior to the special forces in other qualities, and they are definitely tested in shooting, and the most senior tester has fired tens of millions of bullets, and the gun is almost the same as the hands and feet for them, and they are inseparable.

Sure enough, among the five bullets, according to the bullet point, you can find the location of the target, and after a maximum of 15 bullets, the balloon will be burst, and the special gas will be released by the balloon to inform the ground to hit the target.

The perfect display of 12.7 mm, then 14.5 mm, 17.5 and 20.5, successful hits again and again, so that many visitors are very happy, especially the 20.5 in the back, 4000 meters of height, almost can't see clearly, but the elite gunner, but can be about 10 groups of bullets, find the target to fire the target, with the rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun, it can definitely be called a miracle, showing the excellent accuracy of the tester.

The test gun finally ended successfully, and all the staff officers were relatively satisfied, they were all military talents, and it was natural to begin to discuss the use of these weapons in the military.

After seeing the role of European airships, some military officers once proposed that the airship should be re-equipped, and when the ban on airships was not completely lifted, but only when it appeared as a separate branch, only a small number of senior officers knew part of the role of airplanes, so the officers at the bottom would put it forward when they saw the role of airships.

The public opinion at the bottom, under certain circumstances, still affected the upper level, especially the technical simplicity of the airship, which has a wide range of uses, but this was vetoed by the high-level joint, the bottom only contacted the Northwest No. 1, the initial finalized aircraft, but after the emergence of more than 1000 horsepower engines, when the twin-engine and four-engine aircraft appeared, the future aircraft performance will only get stronger and stronger, and even now it has completely surpassed the airship. That represents a step backwards in history. So this one opinion was rejected.

Now the advent of anti-aircraft machine guns, among the low-ranking officers, may quell this trend and add another powerful weapon to the army, in terms of height, how much range and how powerful this weapon will be if it is placed in flat fire.

In fact, the tester really knows that in order to test the performance of a weapon, the anti-aircraft machine gun, although it is developed to attack targets in the sky, but all weapons can be used on the ground, but in this era, because the anti-aircraft machine gun made in the northwest is really too powerful, when the anti-aircraft machine gun is faster than the general machine gun, the more powerful anti-aircraft machine gun, when attacking ground targets, that kind of power, that kind of sweeping feeling, is really invincible, There is only one target of all the targets, and that is to smash.

The tester personally demonstrated that when the stormy 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun swept the entire field, a few inches of targets were directly shattered, and even metal targets would be tortured inhumanly.

All the officers were relatively happy to get such a powerful weapon, and even some staff officers were still discussing how long it would take for their troops to be equipped with these weapons, after all, powerful weapons would require more time to adapt, and it was necessary to give it a reasonable way to use it.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that the prototype of the anti-aircraft machine gun has been out for more than 2 years, even if it is a mature product, it has been out for a year, and it has been shelved until it was made, not many people knew. Although the current Northwest Army has a large number of new equipment, such as large-caliber artillery, armored vehicles and tanks, and even heavy four-engine bombers and attack aircraft, these are all within the scope of secrecy and are used in a small area.

This has also caused the confusion of many low-level officers, and the high-level already knows that the current Northwest Army is already the first in the world in all aspects, and the current light tank is equipped with a brigade, and the heavy and medium are each equipped with a regiment, as for the heavy-duty bomber, it has as many as 12 squadrons, but the bottom does not know, it is conceivable that when the northwest goes to the battlefield in the future, the northwest has the world's first-class military equipment, and has a variety of weapons that have surpassed this era for 10 years or even 20 years. However, it may not be able to cooperate tacitly, and some of these weapons will not be effective.

The unintentional words of the staff officers made Yang Yuanzhao suddenly wake up to the fact that in terms of military affairs, he is really just a little white, his vision and many aspects are the best in the world, but from the very beginning of the Baotou Defense War, he showed some ridiculous shortcomings in the military, but it was proven by history, the Baotou Defense War would not have been so tragic, but in the end it was like that, those horse thieves who died under the city of Baotou, although they deserved it, but if they could be reformed, it was not an important labor.

In addition, the later Beiyang War, if the northwest pays more attention to the military aspect, maybe it will not be so hard, the war against Russia is a special case, the development is too fast, the northwest moves quickly, but Yang Yuanzhao only issued an order to fight against Russia, and the only military deployment is almost all set by Cai Yi and other special soldiers.

Now with Japan in Shandong, with the Beiyang and the revolutionary party's secret war, even more so, based on many considerations, he hid the plane, so that the army chose a more difficult road, this, he does not regret it, the plane is too important, but he is so worried about the soldiers in the northwest, starting from the construction of the army, from the defense of Baotou, resisting the strong Beiyang army, crushing the Mongolian independence, and then not long ago, against the Russian army, although the Northwest Army has achieved a brilliant victory, so that the entire world powers, face up to the existence of the northwest, But it was the countless sacrifices of the Northwest Army, even if Yang Yuanzhao gave the Northwest Army the best weapons and the best training, but the non-stop fighting, there were still losses.

China has suffered too much in modern times, and the hope brought to them by the Northwest has given them the foundation to stand up straight, and it has also given them dignity, in a sense, the Northwest has given them rebirth, which is also the foundation for the soldiers to desperately defend the Northwest and maintain everything in the Northwest.

Countless feelings filled Yang Yuanzhao's heart, it seems that next, the matter of the secret base in Yinshan, appropriately let the military's high-level involvement, some things related to military equipment, he also interfered as little as possible, even if the Chinese are decades later, holding weapons that are ten years or even more behind, millet plus rifles, defeating the invincible United States, pushing the previous decades, China will definitely be able to, although it will not deliberately leak advanced equipment, but even if it leaks, the northwest now has this confidence to stand at the level of world synchronization, even if it is close, who can defeat the Northwest.
