"Horn ......"

When the crisp and pleasant gunshots rang out in the backyard, everyone was staring at the target, curious about the marksmanship, maybe the commander was the governor of the three eastern provinces, but for the officials in the courtyard, it was their commander, just like now, the commander was even wearing a military uniform. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the gaze of everyone, thirty meters apart, Tang Haoran aimed at the target plate placed in front of the sandbag, and pulled the trigger one after another, without any accidents, the pistol shooting after loading the butt was extremely stable, and the back seat was almost not worth mentioning.

Tang Haoran, who knew about the Mauser pistol, naturally knew that in the regular army, the Mauser pistol was used by connecting the butt to improve the accuracy of shooting. In fact, this is also for the sake of tricks, after all, I don't often shoot targets and practice guns. But in front of these people, they can't lose this face.

After the first shot, it took only a few seconds for the remaining nine rounds to be dumped onto the target, and the superiority of the rate of fire of the semi-automatic pistol over the revolver was fully demonstrated.

When the empty warehouse hung up, Tang Haoran's right hand held the pistol tightly, the butt was still against the shoulder, the left hand took out a clip of bullets, and used the left palm as a "support" to jam the bridge clamp, and pressed the bridge clamp with his thumb to quickly complete the loading, only to appear more skilled than Ding Liqiang and others, they also needed to get off the gun and reload their hands.

Maybe Tang Haoran has no experience in using a Mauser pistol, but it does not prevent him from watching some "video teaching materials" on the Internet, this method of rapid loading of bridge clips was once the specialty of veterans using "box guns" in that era. Of course, this does not include box guns fed by magazines

In everyone's astonishment, the gunshots rang out again.

In less than 20 seconds of shooting, Tang Haoran fired 20 bullets in a row, and all the bullets fired in a very short time from 30 meters away hit the target position. And even more importantly, the pistol did not have any faults.

"It's a good gun!"

Looking at the pistol hanging up in the empty warehouse, Tang Haoran commented to everyone, the only fly in the ointment is that its hammer still has the color of the revolver era. So he proposed.

"The shape of this hammer will affect the speed of the shot, and it may hang on the corners of the clothes, but in my opinion, it can be changed to a ring ......"

It was the appearance of the historical box cannon hammer, and after this improvement, it was no longer much different from the box cannon in another time and space. Well, and the angle of the butt.

After putting forward suggestions for improvement one by one, when Tang Haoran handed the pistol back to Fidel, he nodded and said when he learned that he had fired 1,500 rounds of ammunition in a row without any faults.

"In this case, after completing these improvements, the Governor's Guards will first order 1,200 units, and as for the army......

Look at the officers who are eager to try. The corners of Tang Haoran's lips lifted slightly.

"After being tested by the Small Arms Committee, if it is qualified, it will replace the pistol, and the retained revolver can be handed over to the police department after repair......

The pistols used by the Northeast Army and the Police Department were all "Han-style revolvers" designed by borrowing Colt and Smith Wesson pistols as early as Seoul at the suggestion of Tang Haoran. Its shape is closer to the M1917 revolver of later generations, compared to the pistols of this era. Its shape is undoubtedly more "modern".

However, the revolver can still be used as a pistol for police or middle and senior commanders, and it is obviously not even competent, even if the "Fidel pistol" has been manufactured, then it can be considered as the standard equipment of the army.

"And, Mr. Fidel. I noticed that the upper receiver and barrel are one, so does this make it more difficult to manufacture? After all, if there is a wrong process, it will lead to the scrapping of the upper receiver and the barrel, is it possible to separate the two? This should reduce production costs......"

Learn from the experience of another time and space. Tang Haoran even pointed out that the grip that felt very poor in his hand needed to be improved, and after pointing out the areas that needed to be improved one by one, he watched the box cannon being packed into the wooden shell. For some reason, Tang Haoran only felt that his mind sank slightly.

frowned, even in the operational command room of the headquarters, Tang Haoran's brows still did not open.

“…… In addition to the existing fortresses based on civil fortifications, the headquarters plans to set up eight to ten fortified areas along the Ussuri River to the mouth of the Tumen River, and its reference to the naval fortress is mainly permanent fortifications, and the core of the fortress is 8 inch naval heavy artillery...... "Everything is not out of Tang Haoran's expectations, building a fortress to resist the attack of the Russian army, which is an extremely helpless choice when the strength is weak, and even the military command department has begun to deploy and form a survey team with engineers and experts in the whole army as early as last year, Received direct training from the Engineer Division of the Military Command Department for the construction of permanent works.

"So what is the planned investment? How many tons of cement, how many tons of steel are needed? ”

"The planned investment is 27 million yuan, 35,000 tons of cement and ...... steel"

A Jilin needs 27 million yuan to build a fortress, as well as North Korea and Heilongjiang, which means that in the next few years, the Northeast will have to invest 50 million yuan to build a land fortress, and this is only the "fortress project" investment, not including the large number of 8 to 4.2-inch rapid-fire guns and a large number of field guns and machine guns that it needs.

Staring at the fortress structure on the sand table, Tang Haoran's mind couldn't help but emerge that the Kwantung Army, which occupied the northeast in another time and space, had spent hundreds of millions of financial resources on building fortresses for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of troops who were supposed to play a role lost their mobility and were stationed in the fortress in the belly of the mountain. But what role did they play?

What will happen if they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on strengthening the armament of the troops, increasing the armored forces and firepower? And France, France's Macchinot Line is the pinnacle of human fortress history, but it is also a joke in the history of human warfare, and it seems that every line of defense has become a joke in the end.

Whether it is Maginot or Siegfried, or the fortresses of the Kwantung Army, they have all been defeated by the enemy one by one and become a laughing stock, and now this fortress is far inferior to the first three, what role can it play?

Perhaps, in this era, nothing is more effective than a fortress, after all, there is no siege artillery in this era, there is no air force, and any fortress is a nightmare existence for the attacking side, and it is not even necessary to have a fortress, just a World War I-level barbed wire and trenches, and a large number of machine guns. can put the attacking side into a nightmare......

Machine guns, trenches, barbed wire!

Suddenly, Tang Haoran's eyes suddenly lit up, why build that kind of permanent fortress built of reinforced concrete? Why can't barbed wire and trenches be considered? It is only necessary to equip the troops with enough machine guns, and with the current infantry dense formation, only a sufficient number of machine guns and barbed wire are needed to ensure that the important ground is not lost.

The most important thing - save money!

There is enough timber in almost every fortified area for the troops to build strong enough civil fortifications, and the primeval forests everywhere are the best materials for fortification, and there is no need to spend tens of millions of dollars on the construction of fortresses, and those funds should be used in more appropriate places, such as increasing the firepower of the troops, increasing the number of machine guns and rapid-fire guns in the troops.

"Knock, knock......"

His finger tapped on the edge of the sand table, and Tang Haoran, who had been staring at the sand table, suddenly turned his attention to another young young officer, Xu Zhiyuan, who was a civil engineering expert in the Engineer Department of the Military Command Department, and even the first systematic "civil engineering regulations" of the Northeast Army were drafted by him, although he was not a professional officer, just a graduate of the earth engineering major, but he was good at experiments, and it was through a series of experiments that he drafted the regulations.

Maybe I can give him a study of the permanent readiness of field fortifications, like the trenches of World War I in another time and space, isn't it a defense line composed of a large number of field fortifications and a small number of pillboxes? With the firepower of World War I, the two sides have not yet been able to break through each other, let alone in this era?

After paying attention, Tang Haoran did not immediately deny this request, but asked.

"The premise of the construction of these forts is that the railway is built, after all, a large amount of materials need to be transported, and the railway is not passable, and it is difficult to transport the materials through, but we can also start from scratch, for example, we can study the field fortifications......"

After a pause, Tang Haoran asked for a pen and paper, and spent more than ten minutes drawing a simple schematic diagram of the trench, including a zigzag trench up to two meters deep with a drainage ditch, and a bunker covered with a layer of soil nearly one meter thick. Of course, more important are the barbed wire fences and machine gun forts.

"You see, can we first build this kind of improvised fortress in the fortified area, which is a fortress made up of a large number of trenches and barbed wire......"

The officers of the Northeast Army are no strangers to trenches and barbed wire, and they are even very good at earthwork, but the fortifications in the past are more rudimentary, unlike the trenches painted by Tang Haoran, and even have bathrooms, generator rooms and other buildings with the color of permanent fortifications.

"Considering the winter here, a heating stove can be set up in the middle of each barracks, so that the soldiers can not only keep warm, but also drink hot water, eat hot meals, and usually store honeycomb coal ...... for 60 days."

Tang Haoran, who was brainy for a while, even thought of the lives of the soldiers in the trenches, and recalled the field fortifications of the Soviet and German armies in World War II to improve this "fortress system", and explained his thoughts from time to time.

"As for the rest room for a single person in the trench, it can be dug into the inner wall of the trench......"

The development of wars in later generations always gave Tang Haoran too much inspiration, and he believed that these fortifications alone would be enough to deal with the threat from Russia in a certain period of time. (To be continued.) )
