Chapter 25: New Equipment

Looking at the airport runway clearly visible below the plane, Yan Wudao in the cabin was ecstatic, among the brothers who first followed Zhao Zhi to make a long-distance raid on Xiaozhangzhuang, most of them were seen in Zhangwu County, but Mo Lun and Zhang Jinquan did not see them, one of these two people was left by Zhao Zhi in Kunming to take charge of the base, and the other was busy training all day with the selected 200 reserve snipers. This is about to see them, and Yan Wudao, who has been separated for more than a year, can't help but be a little excited.

"Don't worry, I'll be able to see Mo Lun and Jin Quan soon" There was a lot of noise in the cabin, Yan Wudao and they could only communicate with each other in sign language, Zhao Zhi's sign language was very fast, and Yan Wudao understood it for a long time before he understood what Zhao Zhi meant. The plane landed and began to taxi on the runway, Yan Wudao was already a little restless, stretched his neck and looked out from the porthole, the plane was just steady, Yan Wudao opened the door of the cabin and jumped out first.

"Fifth brother, you can be regarded as coming back, you want to kill me" Mo Lun, who was left in Kunming by Zhao Zhi to be in charge of the affairs of the base, was out of shape, if he hadn't said hello to Yan Wudao first, including Zhao Zhi and a few of them, no one would have recognized this big fat man as the poor Belle Lord who couldn't even eat back then.

"My God, Lao Mo, why are you so fat?" Yan Wudao hugged Mo Lun fiercely, and slapped Mo Lun's back with his calloused palm, which made Mo Lun cough incessantly. Zhang Jinquan still didn't change his shyness, looking at Yan Wudao and Mo Lun's hug, he just smiled in return, but when Ye Kong pulled Luo Ying, who was airsick and vomiting, out of the cabin, Zhang Jinquan's eyes revealed a fierceness and fanaticism.

Ye Kong is the first person to sniper under Zhao Zhi, and he is also the first person to be equipped with a sniper rifle in the thunder, Zhang Jinquan is also a guy who does not admit defeat in his bones, don't look at him usually doesn't talk much, but in private he has long wanted to surpass Ye Kong in marksmanship. "Quanzi, I heard that those guys who were trained by you are about to become deserters, you kid is ruthless enough" handed over Luo Ying to the mercenary who came to pick up the plane, Ye Kong gave Zhang Jinquan a chest, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhi's urgent transfer of him to Shanxi to participate in the Taiyuan operation, I'm afraid he would have stood with Zhang Jinquan and waited for the pick-up.

"Quanzi is good, it looks a lot stronger and calmer, like a veteran" Yan Wudao put Zhang Jinquan's shoulder, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Jinquan was when Zhao Zhi took them to guerrilla Xiao Zhangzhuang, Yan Wudao personally lured into the thunder, this time a few years have passed, the ignorant boy of the year no longer exists, and now standing in front of him is still a fierce soldier.

"Let's go, let's go back first, the good wine and food have already been prepared, just wait for you to arrive, and the banquet will be opened" Mo Lun prepared the banquet early, and the name of the dish reported by Mo Lun alone was enough to make Yan Wudao, who had just returned to China, salivate. When the old brothers met, Zhao Zhi didn't detain everyone, Yan Wudao and the others naturally wanted to drink and returned drunk in the dark, and even Zhao Zhi was staggering when he drank.

"It's good to be back with everyone" Yan Wudao, who was lying on the bed with a cigar in his mouth, was very satisfied, Ye Kong, who was lying on the bed next to him, rolled his eyes and gave him, and said that this old guy went out and came back, why did he become sentimental. "Dazhi didn't come back with him, and I don't know what happened to him? That guy is too strong, I should stay before I can do it" Yan Wudao's chirping finally made Ye Kong unbearable, pulled up the quilt and covered his head and closed his eyes to sleep, leaving Yan Wudao, whose face was flushed, to mutter to himself alone.

"Sir, everything you ordered has been done, this is the list, 60 of the 200 snipers trained in Jinquan have been sent over with the new equipment, the specific effect of the actual combat depends on Dazhi's side, and all the things on my side have been done" When Yan Wudao was drunk and lying on the bed, Mo Lun, who was full of alcohol but had a look in his eyes, was meeting with Zhao Zhi, and what he handed Zhao Zhi was a list of new equipment, which Zhao Zhi asked him to do long before the establishment of Qinglongping Airport. The reason for the delay in reporting to Zhao Zhi is that this batch of new equipment still needs to be tested, and Mo Lun is the test officer of this batch of new equipment.

"The silencer for sniper rifles looks good, but the gunners under Jinquan generally report that after using the silencer, the range of the sniper rifle is more than 300 meters, and the target of the bullet can only be guaranteed to be 6 percent, more than 400 meters, and there are still forty percent of the accuracy left, even Jinquan himself can only guarantee 400 meters of 100 shots, and after more than 500 meters, Jinquan said that he can only be half sure" What Mo Lun was holding in his hand was the special silencer for sniper rifles mentioned in his mouth, which was as black as a section of iron sleeve about 20 centimeters long.

"There must be gains and losses, our current technology can make this thing is already very good" Zhao Zhi took the silencer and played, after entering Shanxi to fight with the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi's snipers have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the sound of the American sniper rifle when shooting is obviously different from the sound of domestic firearms, which also brings a lot of trouble to the snipers who should be fighting covertly, and causes a lot of casualties to themselves, if the sniper rifle can be like Zhao Zhi in his previous life, it can also be equipped with a silencer, this situation can be avoided, So adding a silencer to a sniper rifle has always been Zhao Zhi's dream.

"The specific effect of the silencer Jinquan has been tested, during the sniper training, Jinquan specially tested, when using this silencer, the distance of more than 50 meters can not hear the gunfire at all, and our Jewish engineers also designed flame suppressors on both sides of the silencer, even if it is shot at night, the gun flame is very small" Although it did not reach the expected range in Zhao Zhi's heart, Mo Lun was obviously very satisfied with this silencer, for this sniper rifle special silencer, the Jewish technicians in the arsenal were busy for more than half a year.

"300 meters is enough for now, Dazhi is just testing the actual combat effect, and when you really want to use this thing, you still have to use it in Myanmar, where the mountains are high and dense, and the Japanese can't use grenades and mortars at all. Once the evaluation of the effect of the actual combat on Dazhi's side is passed, you immediately order the arsenal to start processing this kind of silencer and individual bulletproof equipment in large quantities" In addition to the silencer, Zhao Zhi handed over to Mo Lun In addition to the silencer, there is also a thin steel plate filled body armor specially designed for mercenaries.

Individual bulletproof vest is another expectation of Zhao Zhi, according to the current technology, it is impossible to produce Kevlar or ceramic bulletproof armor, but Zhao Zhi has a local method. Although in order to reduce the weight of the body armor, only a thin steel plate with a thickness of no more than one centimeter can be used, but its actual bulletproof effect is still very good, at least at close range, the bullets of Japanese rifles and light machine guns cannot penetrate the thin steel plate.

The mercenaries are usually responsible for training up to 30 kilograms, and minus the mortar shells and rockets they carry for the gunners, the mercenaries are fully adapted to this kind of bulletproof vest stuffed with thin steel plates, and it does not affect the amount of ammunition the mercenaries carry. The mercenary force is the sword in Zhao Zhi's hand, Zhao Zhi, who retains the memory of his previous life, has more than ten years of experience than others, after the end of World War II, except for the Korean War and the Vietnam War, there are almost no large-scale battles in Asia, and the war conflicts during the Cold War are mostly small-scale wars, and the small-scale tactics of the mercenaries are just suitable for small-scale battles, Zhao Zhi is taking precautions to pave the way for the future survival of the thunder.

Every mercenary brought back by Zhao Zhi from Shanxi is a veteran of a hundred battles, Zhao Zhi has poured too much effort into them, it only takes half a year for Thunder to train a Jewish soldier, and it takes more time to train a qualified mercenary, and the mercenary who has been affirmed by Zhao Zhi still needs to go through the baptism of war. The appearance of bulletproof vests is precisely for the sake of Thunder's mercenaries, and Zhao Zhi's selfishness is also at work to save their lives, and Zhao Zhi has a bigger plan to need these mercenaries who follow him to life and death.

"What is this steel fortress? Isn't it said that the arsenal is now short of raw materials? Zhao Zhi had seen almost all the things on the list, but he hadn't even heard of the steel fortress at the end of the list. Some time ago, Mo Lun also sent a telegram saying that the arsenal needed iron, how could this make a steel fortress, since it is a fortress, it must be used as a raw material, and the amount of steel used in a fortress is definitely not very small.

"You mean this," Moren came to his senses again at the mention of the new thing, "This is a trick that a guy named Bell from the Arsenal came up with." Jin Quan and his snipers had several confrontation exercises with the base guards, and the base guards suffered heavy casualties each time, and then a guy named Bell from the arsenal came up with this steel fortress. In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, to hollow out the ordinary steel plate and then weld the screw, and use the principle of screw fixing to stack the steel plate layer upon layer to form a shooting fortress."

"Each steel plate is 50 centimeters long and wide, the thickness is 2 centimeters, each steel plate has four fixing bolts and four drilled holes, and the thickness of the fortress can reach 10 layers under the condition of ensuring that the shooting holes and shooting boundaries are reserved. Our Bazooka rockets can't do it, if we can guarantee the number of steel plates, we only need four skilled sappers to stack a steel fortress that can accommodate three gunners in half an hour."

"Does this thing work?" Zhao Zhi is also very interested, isn't this a mobile version of the bunker? If this thing really works, the Thunder will no longer be afraid of the enemy's mortar fire when fighting in positional warfare in the future, and this steel fortress can also be used in ambush warfare, with a Browning heavy machine gun in the fortress to make all enemies in the firing range become corpses.

"It's okay when the arsenal is tested, it depends on the results of the actual combat test on Dazhi's side, I guess it should be good, according to my agreement with Dazhi, within three days, the actual combat data will be sent back"
