Bang bang, the sound is crisp and continuous, after Wang Jinming loaded the AK11, he fired a few more shots, the result was of course satisfactory to everyone, Jiang Baili took a fancy to the firepower projection ability of this gun, and Cai Yi was concerned about its price, and asked: "The performance of AK11 is so good, what about the price?" ”

As the most basic firearms of the army, in any army, is the largest number, generally how many people in a troop, basically how many guns, not much worse, some special troops, plus some spare, used to replace guns, this number is about the same.

When the Guangxi New Army was established before, although he was not the main participant, he also knew that because of the problem of the rifle, he looked for a lot of homes, and finally found the German and American foreign firms, and only then did he get the second-hand committee 1888 at a price of 52 yuan a piece, this gun, regardless of the strength of all aspects, should be above the committee 1888, if the price is too high, I am afraid no one can use it.

"The purchase price of the new army in Baotou is 12 yuan!"

"12 yuan?" Cai Ye couldn't say a word at this moment, this gun obviously has all aspects of performance above the Commission 1888, why is it so cheap, and even Cai Ye asked: "Is it a pound?" ”

Wang Jinming's answer was the same calm: "It's not the pound, it's the silver dollar, that is, the eagle ocean!" ”

"This is impossible, what about the commission 1888 that was previously equipped?"

"That, it's only 9 yuan!"

"9 yuan!" Cai Yi's heart seems to have been trampled by 100,000 alpacas, they buy 52 yuan, or second-hand, this is only 9 yuan, is this a joke?

"The guns in the Asian market are high in themselves, and there is no three or five times the profit, how can they be sold, what we get is a fixed amount of profit, of course, the redressed ones still have to be handed over to the military factory, and if they are sold, they will return part of the cost!"

"Songpa, don't say it again, this is normal in the world, a committee 1888, the ex-factory price of the German foreign company is about 18 US dollars, but the purchase price of the German Army will be reduced to about 9 US dollars, this is the difference, on the Asian side, almost no self-production, so the price will be much higher!" Jiang Baili interrupted Cai Yi's words and said: "Baotou Machine Qì Factory, are there any other products besides these?" ”

"Yes, do you see it, the Makqin over there is also a new product of the Jiqì Bureau, which is modified on the basis of the original Makqin."

If you say a rifle, it still makes everyone slightly surprised, you know, Jiangnan Machinery and Tianjin Machinery can produce rifles, the quality is also OK, a little worse than the original, you can also use it, but the production is limited, many parts still need to be imported, the impact on foreign products is not large, not only have two rifles in front of you, even Makqin can be self-produced, what does this mean, Baotou is no longer an ordinary industrial base in the original sense, there is already a foundation for heavy industry.

Jiang Baili walked in front of Makqin in three steps and two steps, and sure enough, the same looking Makqin is very different from the ordinary Makqin, it seems that the steel is the same as the rifle, the barrel is also slightly strengthened, a little longer, and the overall weight is relatively thin, gently knocking on Makqin, crisp and solid, it is obvious that the quality of this Makqin is good.

Yan Xishan was very clear about the number of the entire Makqin, and hurriedly introduced: "The new Makqin, the range is about 50 meters more than the original Makqin, the range has not changed much, but the reliability has been greatly increased, the original barrel, which can fire up to 1500 rounds, can now fire 2800 rounds, which is more than doubled." ”

The bullet that the barrel can fire is a hard indicator, and the raw materials of some weapons imitated by China are a big problem, compared with the original weapons, the performance indicators are quite reduced, and the life span of the original imitation Makqin is only about one-third of that of foreign origin, so that in comparison, it is a difference of several times or more.

In Baotou, this is obviously different, all the indicators, it seems to have been improved on the basis of the original, don't underestimate the difference between the 1300 bullets, on the battlefield, this represents more than double the time of fire suppression, Makqin after continuous firing, need to change the barrel, at this time, this Makqin has a certain Cheng dù, it is equivalent to scrapping, but it has been extended by about half of the time, a certain Cheng dù above, you can change the barrel more calmly and more reasonably, This represents an increase in the strength of the weapon.

"The most important thing is that the weight of this Makqin is 10 kilograms lighter, and it can also be disassembled, and this caliber has also been adjusted, from 7.9 to 7.0, which is the same as the caliber of our AK11 rifle, and the bullet can also be universal." Yan Xishan continued to introduce.

Jiang Baili's eyes lit up, as a heavy machine gun, it is inconvenient to move, this is a hard wound of a heavy machine gun, above a certain distance, the weight of Makqin is reduced, which represents the increase in the bullets that Makqin group can carry, not to mention how many more bullets can be carried by these 10 kilograms, Let's just say that the bullet has been changed from 7.9 to 7.0, and the number of bullets that the combat team can carry has suddenly increased by one-seven, which is a big improvement for a heavy machine gun, and it can be disassembled, so that the Makqin, which can only be lifted by three or four people, can be divided into different parts, and when crossing the rugged road with Chinese characteristics, the mobility ability and travel speed will increase a lot, which is absolutely a stroke of genius for a force.

"It's changed here, too!" Cai Ye finally came back to his senses, carefully observed Makqin, he noticed that the Makqin bullet chain, the canvas bullet chain was changed to a metal bullet chain, the number of bullets in each bullet chain was reduced, but the stability and firing speed were also improved on a certain degree, which is known without introduction.

Sighing, Jiang Baili let out a long breath, before coming to Baotou, he felt that China did not have any industry, but now, he found that he was wrong, China is not without capable people, because there are no conditions for producing capable people, when a system is suitable for producing at this time, a qiē is logical, a rifle that can be said to be the most advanced in the world, at least the most suitable rifle for Orientals, a Maxim with increased strength, rifles and machine guns can be self-produced, from this aspect, What kind of improvement will it make the whole army?

"By the way, these guns are not produced in large quantities!" Zhang Xiaohuai, who had never spoken much, suddenly interjected and asked, he also asked the point, whether a gun can be popularized, or whether it can reduce the price, the key is speed, weapons that cannot be mass-produced, no matter how good the performance is, it cannot be equipped to the army, after all, the army is a team battle, based on quantity.

"Big, this production volume is really not small, we have a total of five, and now, from the production of this rifle, we have already reequipped our first division with three-quarters!"

"Three-quarters of a change?"

"How many people are in one of your divisions?"

"About 20,000 people, our platoon, company, battalion, and regiment are basically three-three systems, but at the division level, because it is the smallest independent combat unit, plus a specialized artillery regiment and a heavy machine gun regiment, a logistics regiment, and generally seven to eight regiment-level units!" Wang Jinming was afraid that he would not understand, so he explained it in detail.

In the middle of this, Cai Ye quietly asked Yan Xishan, and after Yan Xishan gave him a number, Cai Yi's face changed, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

Jiang Baili is very familiar with Cai Yi, this classmate, has the style of a general, there are few things that can make him so stunned, after pulling him, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you know how long it took to be reloaded, this weapon has only been in less than 20 days from finalization to now, and 15,000 rifles and 700 Makqin have been replaced in 20 days."

700, Jiang Baili was also stunned, a division of the New Army, in his feeling, there are one or two hundred Makqin, which is already good, but I didn't expect that there are 700, which is only three-quarters of the number, is it the entire New Army, the number of a division, the number of Makqin is actually more than 1000, this firepower, I'm afraid the German army does not have such intensive firepower (real history, the German army in the early days of World War I, a division of Makqin, but dozens of them, in the battle, with the role of machine guns is becoming more and more important, In the later stage of World War I, each division of the German army, the number of light and heavy machine guns reached nearly 1,000, Yang Yuanzhao didn't know what was going on with the German army, he directly got it in one step, he knew very well that automatic firearms were for the improvement of an army's combat effectiveness, so the firepower was almost arranged to the platoon level, and some were even popularized to the squad. ）

Cai Ye and others, in their hearts, have improved the combat effectiveness of the new army as much as possible, but they did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the new army is still above his imagination, such an army really has to confront any Chinese army, one-on-one, or even one-to-two, it is not a problem at all, let alone Beiyang, and even the German Seventh Army where Jiang Baili once stayed is much stronger.

Next, the consternation of Cai Ye and others one after another, four training camps, they saw a lot of novel things, these things, not to mention the Chinese army, the Japanese army, and even the German army are very few, but these targeted training, for the real Cai Ye who has been performed, it is simply fascinated by him, you know, specifically for the trained soldiers, and those who have not undergone targeted training, these are two completely different concepts, these almost take into account the various conditions of the battlefield, after special training, When the soldier goes to the battlefield, there will be no problems.

Step by step, Cai Yi and the others have raised the combat effectiveness of the new army again and again, and with the current strength of one division of the new army, it is no problem to fight against two or three towns in Beiyang, and if there is another batch of heavy artillery, I am afraid that it will be no problem for Beiyang to come to three or five towns. Before Cai Ye could ask, Sun Yue saw that the training ground here had been visited, and said: "Three seniors, it just so happens that today is the training of our New Army Artillery Regiment, otherwise, let's go and have a look." ”

"Artillery regiment, and artillery regiment?"

Wang Jinming nodded lightly and said, "The artillery regiment trains every day, and today is live ammunition to take a look!" Cai Yi's eyes lit up in unison, and they immediately nodded: "Okay, go and see!" ”R1152
