143 Sniper rifles and howitzers
Lin Fei formulated the "Super Army Plan", and then prepared to return to Yanhuang City, deploy related weapons production matters, Lin Fei before withdrawing to Yanhuang City, armed the Chinese slaves on Cebu Island, the guns used were the Spaniards' Mauser M1893 rifles, and the bullets were also left by the Spaniards.
Since there were no decent towns on Cebu Island, Lin Fei did not set up an administrative office here, but instead belonged to Cebu Island Province and was under the jurisdiction of Leyte Island Province, and the armed forces on the island were called the "Cebu Island Garrison of the Chinese Empire".
Lin Fei also captured a large number of Spanish prisoners of war in the process of liberating Cebu Island, Lin Fei killed the most heinous officers in front of everyone, and then left ordinary soldiers as laborers and handed them over to the Chinese to take care of, these Spanish prisoners of war often bullied the Chinese on weekdays, so the Chinese said that they would also use the most vicious way to bully them, but the Chinese were very benevolent and kind, and they couldn't bear to torture them, so they were not bad for the Spanish prisoners of war.
Lin Fei also organized the Spanish transport ships obtained on Cebu Island and established the Cebu Island Shipping Company, which was responsible for transporting rubber to Leyte Island, Samar Island and other areas under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Empire.
According to Lin Fei's plan, Mindoro Island will be an important base for the north attack on Manila, Mindoro Island is a dense primeval forest, and the forest is inhabited by uncivilized natives, and there is no oil and water to fish on the island, so the Spaniards avoid it.
Lin Fei told his subordinates that after entering Mindoro Island, they mainly adopted the policy of Huairou and used small favors to win over the natives on the island, who lacked daily necessities such as cloth and water containers, so you should go with these things and give them to the natives.
The natives were very happy to receive these gifts, not only did they not harm Lin Fei's subordinates, but also helped them build various facilities, and Lin Fei's subordinates taught the natives Chinese and Chinese characters and brought them into the Chinese Empire.
Lin Fei finished arranging a qiē on Cebu Island, then led the troops back to Yanhuang City, back to Yanhuang City was already March 24, Lin Fei returned to Yanhuang City and found that the city was different from the original, there were more houses in the city, and there were also more than ten meters high buildings, this is because after the capture of Mindanao, got a lot of factories, and had the capacity to produce cement and steel for construction.
Lin Fei also saw a lot of carriages in the city, after the Sulu Sultanate became the autonomous region of the Chinese Empire, many merchants came to trade, and these merchants brought a lot of horses, which made Lin Fei very happy, in this era without cars, horses were the only means to improve the mobility of the army.
When Lin Fei returned to Yanhuang City, the first thing he did was to go to the arsenal and announce the "Super Army" plan, which was attended by army generals such as Li Mingming and senior craftsmen led by Ling Xue.
Lin Fei first said: "I learned in Cebu this time that the Spaniards have strengthened Manila's defense forces, and the advantages of our existing army equipment are no longer obvious, so we must develop another batch of advanced equipment." ”
Everyone was happy, and Lin Fei said: "The advanced equipment I designed is divided into two categories, one is small-batch production, and the other is large-scale production. ”
"I now have two special operations forces, the sniper team and the frogman commando, and these two units are currently equipped with the same weapons as the ordinary army, which is no longer suitable for the needs of the battlefield, so I decided to develop new weapons for these two forces."
"First of all, the rifle, our sniper team needs a rifle with higher accuracy, the shooting accuracy of the rifle is related to many factors, one of the factors is the length of the barrel, the longer the barrel length, the higher the shooting accuracy, our current LBQ-1 automatic rifle, the barrel length is 560 mm, this is a bit small, my newly designed rifle, the barrel length should be increased to 700 mm."
"In accordance with the "National Military Supplies Standard GJB-1894-001...... Army Weapons Nomenclature Code", the name of this rifle is 'LJB-1 sniper rifle', this rifle also needs to be equipped with a scope and a bipod, in the processing of the body parts, I need the most experienced craftsmen to process it personally to ensure the accuracy of processing. ”
Ling Xue said at this time: "If only the most experienced craftsmen are allowed to process, the production speed will definitely be slow. ”
Lin Fei said: "I have just said that this type of rifle is produced in small batches, and only fifteen are produced. ”
Ling Xue nodded, and Lin Fei continued: "The bolt structure and caliber of this type of rifle should be the same as that of the LBQ-1 automatic rifle, which is also convenient for the sniper team to change parts, the biggest difficulty in manufacturing this type of rifle is the scope, which requires the efforts of the master of the glass factory, try to make it, we can't make it, let's find a way." ”
The glass firing craftsman nodded solemnly, and Lin Fei continued: "The sniper team is equipped with special equipment such as sniper rifles first, and the underwater commandos have more things to equip with, the first is the oxygen cylinder, we can now use the method of decompression and cooling to obtain oxygen, and it is not a big problem to put oxygen into the cylinder, and we can also manufacture rubber tubes for breathing." ”
"The second is the wetsuit and fins, these two things we can use rubber zuò, first see the effect, if the effect is not good, we will find local fishermen, ask them to make zuò fish skin wetsuits, fins made of rubber zuò, not difficult, and finally the underwater gun."
There was confusion on everyone's faces, and Lin Fei asked, "What's wrong with everyone?" Why is it all this expression? ”
Liu Siming, the head of the smelter, said: "Can't our current guns be used under water? Do you still need a specialized underwater gun? ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "Of course, our current guns can't be used in water, I once tried, and now the guns, the bullets fly out of the water for one meter and have no lethality, so we need a special type of underwater gun, according to the naming convention, the name of this type of rifle is 'LSX-1 underwater rifle'." ”
"The biggest feature of this gun is that it is equipped with "arrow-shaped bullets", this kind of "arrow-shaped bullets" are like an arrow, the resistance under water is relatively small, and it can shoot very far. ”
Lin Fei took a sip of water when he said this, moistened his throat, and then said: "After talking about small-batch weapons and equipment, let's talk about weapons and equipment that need to be mass-produced." When Lin Fei said this, he looked at Ling Xue and asked, "How is our Vulcan plan being executed?" ”
Ling Xue said: "After using your 'self-tightening tube' technology, our body tube has never had a blow-up accident again, and the last few tests have also achieved the expected goal. ”
Lin Fei asked, "How is the test of the retraction machine going?" ”
Ling Xue replied: "The test results of the repulsion machine are very satisfactory, and the repulsion force and reentry speed have reached your design indicators. ”
Lin Fei said: "That's good, our large-scale weapons and equipment is equipped with a new type of artillery with a retractor, according to the naming standard, this type of artillery is called 'HP-2 howitzer', the caliber of this type of howitzer is designed to be 75 mm, the length of the barrel is 30 times the caliber, and the installation of a retractor is equipped with a fixed artillery shell, and the rate of fire can reach 15 to 16 pieces per minute. ”
"The rate of fire of this type of artillery is very high, and the consumption of shells is very large, which requires us to build a new artillery shell factory, and we must put the production task of this factory on a relatively high priority, and the propellant and explosives used in this type of artillery must be guaranteed by each factory first, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded one after another, and wrote down Lin Fei's words in the notebook, Lin Fei continued: "Let me emphasize the importance of this type of artillery entering service, the information I got on Cebu Island shows that the Spanish army has purchased a total of more than 60 mountain guns and field artillery, these artillery will be a serious threat to our army, and our HP-2 howitzer is the killer weapon to remove this threat..."
Lin Fei was talking, at this time, Zhou Yuanzhi, the craftsman in charge of machining, raised his hand and signaled to Lin Fei that he had something to say, Lin Fei stopped talking and said to Zhou Yuanzhi: "Master Zhou, what do you have to say?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "Your Majesty, I just estimated our HP-2 artillery in combination with a naval gun with a caliber of 120 mm and a barrel length of 40 calibers, and found that the weight of this type of gun may be more than 1.5 tons, I don't know if I am wrong?" ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "I have already estimated the weight of the artillery, I estimate that it is about 2 tons, is there any problem?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "The question is that this type of artillery is too heavy, plus the shells are even heavier, how can our troops transport it?" ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "When I entered Yanhuang City today, I found a lot of carriages, since those horses can pull carriages, they can also pull artillery carriages, isn't this problem solved?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "I know that I can use horses to pull artillery wagons, but the road conditions on Luzon Island are not very good, and the wheels of such heavy artillery will sink into the mud, and the troops will not be mobile." ”
Lin Fei smiled: "Didn't we take Cebu Island?" We've got the rubber from the island, and I've figured out that we can make pneumatic tires out of the rubber from the island, and use them as the wheels of the gun truck, so that the contact area will be five times that of a wooden wheel, and the probability of getting stuck in the dirt will be greatly reduced. ”
"Pneumatic tires? What's that? Zhou Yuanzhi asked.
Although the pneumatic tire has been invented by an Englishman in 1888, it is not widely known, Lin Fei said a lot of things today, his throat hurts, and he doesn't want to introduce more, so he smiled and said: "You will know when it is made." ”
Zhou Yuanzhi didn't ask anymore, after Lin Fei implemented the three pieces of equipment of sniper rifle, frogman equipment and new howitzer, he announced the dismissal of the meeting, and everyone got up and left, what they didn't know was that the three types of equipment that Lin Fei said were not available in the world at present, and the reason why these equipment was not produced was not because the industrial level could not be reached, but because no one thought of these equipment.
