Chapter 383 Large-caliber machine gun
Yu Xuezhong snorted his lips, this was completely backward in an ideological battle, the monks and soldiers of the brigade fell to the ground in the rain of splashing bullets, occasionally there were fish that slipped through the net, the sharp saber slashed on the iron sheet of the car, whether it was the driver of the car, or the soldiers in the car had a ridiculous expression on their faces. These uncivilized monks wouldn't want to hack this car to death with a saber, would they? What courage!
Even Yu Xuezhong looked a little sour, this is still a car, if those guys from the tank brigade go to the grassland, I don't know what kind of tactics these monks will use.
Boom Boom!
In the face of this group of terrifying cars, the White Russian artillery fired all the remaining shells in horror, but with the technology of the artillery at this time, it is completely a probability event to hit the moving target, and it can only rely on luck, not to mention that there are a large number of monks and soldiers entangled between the Russian army and the Bayan Lama outside the city.
Enchen was indeed a little frustrated, in fact, when he heard that the reinforcements of the Republic of China appeared outside Kulen City, Enchen was already a little hysterical.
Huge fireworks rose outside the city of Cullen. No matter how bad the luck is, there is a hit rate, two cars are overturned in the shelling, steel parts and blood are flying all over the sky.
"Zou Zuohua, you lead a team to intersperse the enemy army, and I will finish off Lao Maozi's artillery!" Yu Xuezhong shouted in the car and threw a grenade from the car. At that moment, more than 20 cars were divided and went straight to the artillery positions of Belarus. The rumbling sound is particularly obvious on the battlefield. It took little recognizance to find the right place. This is also the fact that after the White Russia knocked out a few cannons of Cai Rongshou in the city, he dared to get closer to the city without artillery in Kulun, but now it happened to be cheaper than Yu Xuezhong.
Two dozen cars scattered. Everywhere the rain of bullets spilled, the Mongolian army and the Russian army were all on their backs.
"Bastard, machine gun, shoot with a machine gun!" The few White Russian officers who reacted were demoralized.
The White Russians of the Enggen Department used Taisho three-year heavy machine guns supplied by Japan, and the eruption of fire quickly penetrated the cabs of the two cars. Out-of-control cars crash like headless flies on the snowy field. One by one, the soldiers above jumped down. On the spot, they used light machine gun fire to suppress the nearby Russian and Mongolian troops.
The reaction of the White Russian officers was undoubtedly quite swift, but a few Taisho 3-year heavy machine guns were undoubtedly a blow to the Xuezhong Department for the continuous firepower. There are more than a dozen Makqin heavy machine guns on the automobile team alone, and the number of light machine guns is even more terrifying. According to the practice in the Northeast, excellent weapons are usually equipped with front-line combat units, and this density of machine guns is the first time in the history of Asian warfare.
Despite occasional losses, the convoy continued to move at a high speed that was unstoppable. The White Russian army has experienced relatively modern wars. But the Mongolian monks and soldiers gathered by the Bayan Lama experienced the war when they went south with a large number of water beads and sabers from the early years of the Republic of China to the second year of the Republic of China. I haven't seen a war for nearly seven years, and I don't know how the times are changing. The casualties were particularly heavy under the sweep of the car team. So much so that when Zou Zuohua came back with a car team, these Mongolian people first collapsed, rode their horses and jumped around, and as for the Jeba Danbuzun who he believed in in the past, he was thrown out of the clouds at this time. Let's pick up a life first.
Hearing that the central reinforcements had arrived, including Chen Yi, all the princes of Outer Mongolia went to the city, just in time to see the scene of the car convoy raging among the rebels of White Russia and Outer Mongolia. And Yu Xuezhong took more than 20 cars to directly kill the White Russian artillery position.
"Damn it. Our reinforcements are coming, the Central Army is coming! Get out of town! "The hundreds of White Russians who had already killed the city of Kulen were cut off by the car team at this time, and became a lone army. At this time, there were many armed merchants in the city, and there were less than 1,000 Jin troops, and nearly 3,000 people were greatly boosted, and they rushed out of the city like chicken blood, accelerating the rout of the Enqin Department. Originally, the reason why the defenders in Kulun City fought hard was also because the Russian artillery suppressed the city and had no power to fight back, as for the Mongolian monks and soldiers gathered by the Bayan Lama, they could only be regarded as making up the number, and it was okay to fight a smooth battle. It's not much use to fight hard. It is still less than 5,000 White Russians under Engean's men who can fight.
But at this time, the White Russians had been beaten by an impenetrable bullet from the Central Army. It was also joined by the defenders in the city of Kulun, and the originally stable position could no longer stand.
"Quick. Evacuate! "At this time, small black dots of cars can already be seen on the artillery positions of the White Russians, and there are a large number of White Russian soldiers who have come from the panic and rout, and there is no doubt that the front line has been defeated. Otherwise, these guys would not have fled to the artillery positions without a head.
"Run, let's run too!" Most of the White Russian soldiers were also of poor peasant origin, especially in the Far East. There is also very little knowledge about cars. I don't understand why hundreds of people are chased by the two dozen or so guys behind them, but so many people can't be beaten, what can their more than 100 artillery help?
"Die!" When a heavy machine gun is mounted on a car, it is inevitable that it will be mislocated due to the shaking of the machine gun strafing, and it is difficult to rearrange the machine gun for correction. happened to catch the scene of these White Russian artillerymen scattering and fleeing in front of him, and Yu Xuezhong had no mercy for these guys who destroyed Kulen City. Directly ordered the machine gunners to open fire, the old White Russian army repeatedly caused trouble on the border, and it seems that the lesson to the other side on the Middle Road is not deep enough.
After chasing for more than 20 miles all the way, until he could no longer see the White Russian soldiers and the Outer Mongolian rebels who had been killed, Yu Xuezhong sat on the iron plate of the cold military truck, hurried along the way, and finally arrived before the city was broken, and defeated the White Russian army of Engean, and the high-intensity marching and fighting in the harsh climate also made these soldiers and officers urgently need to rest.
"I am Yu Xuezhong, chief of staff of the 1st Division of the Northeast Army, who of you is in charge here?" After a break in the war, Yu Xuezhong asked at Kulun, because the flag of the National Defense Force has not yet been distributed, Yu Xuezhong still uses the old title at this time.
"I, the director Chen Yi in Outer Mongolia, and the head of the Cai regiment were wounded, this is the deputy head Zhang Zhenfang, and now the Jin army in the city is under the command of Zhang Zhenfang." Chen Yi introduced it to Yu Xuezhong, and then said with palpitations. "Fortunately, the chief of staff led his troops to arrive in time, otherwise the White Russian army would have broken through the city, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"It's too late, the Jin army has more than 2,000 troops in a regiment and there are less than 700 people left, and the tragedy of this battle is shocking." Yu Xuezhong sighed and said.
Although Enchen retreated, tens of thousands of people of the White Guards Seminov still deployed troops in the Kyakhta area. If the army going north this time only has the 1st Division in the Northeast, there may still be doubts about the safety of Kulun. Most of the regiment was disabled, and the regiment commander was still injured, and Zhang Zhenfang was not in a good mood, so he asked directly, "I don't know how many people the central government sent over this time?" ”
"Yes, there are many White Guards, and if there are too few troops, I am afraid that they will have to face the previous predicament." Chen Yi said worriedly.
"You can rest assured of that. In addition to the 1st Northeast Division, there are still four mixed brigades in the army that went north this time. If the situation changes, the central authorities can redeploy troops at any time. Yu Xuezhong said.
Hearing that there was a Northeast Division and four mixed brigades, Chen Yi's blood surged when he heard it, if there was such a large army sitting in Outer Mongolia in the early years, what would be the matter with Belarus?
Fortunately, the current center is different from before. Even if Chen Yi is thousands of miles away, he can feel the change in the attitude of the Republic of China towards Mongolia at this time. In the past, it was just shouting slogans, but when the situation in Outer Mongolia really deteriorated, no one was willing to send troops north. However, since the Northeast Army entered the customs, its attitude towards the handling of border conflicts has become increasingly tough, first dispatching a regiment of the Jin Army half a year ago, followed by the most elite Northeast Army. It also gathered a coalition of troops from several provinces, except for when Yuan Shikai first ascended to the presidency, when the Outer Mongolian rebels marched south, there was no such grand event.

"Regarding the land warfare aspect, compared to the traditional ground forces. The current army is beginning to diversify. According to the results of several exercises of the ground forces, tank fighting vehicles are more suitable as a unit alone, and not as an auxiliary weapon for infantry. Therefore, infantry divisions need to develop diversified weapons such as air defense, anti-armor, and anti-chemical weapons. Sun Yue said.
"Yes, when Yu Shuai asked us to get us from Zhong Shuai, I really thought that we took a fancy to our ability to engage in military academy education, but after arriving at the Central Military Academy, I realized how shallow my previous knowledge was, artillery theory, tank cluster theory, long-range bombing tactics, and the latest paratrooper theory are all unheard of." Xu Yongchang said with emotion.
"Okay, no more emotion, it's here." Sun Yue pulled Xu Yongchang by the hand, through the car window, at this time, he could see Qin Yu's rake field in the distance, the two looked at each other, looking at the strange gun that was much bigger than Qijiu Makqin, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Yu Shuai!" Xu Yongchang and Sun Yue saluted Qin Yu at the same time.
"Well, it's early." Qin Yu nodded and smiled at the two, "Come and see, a newly produced firearm from the Changchun Arsenal, this designer Huo Guangyou." ”
"Yu Shuai, what kind of gun is this, so big? This caliber, no matter how big it is, can catch up with the machine gun. After getting to know Huo Guangyou, Xu Yongchang couldn't help but ask at first.
"Let Huo Guangyou tell you, he is an expert in designer." Qin Yu smiled, watching the Changchun Arsenal grow from scratch and now start to independently develop weapons, Qin Yu's sense of accomplishment in his heart was very strong.
"I USED TO BE AT WINCHESTER, WHERE THE COMPANY WAS ALSO DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LARGE-CALIBER MACHINE GUN, AND THE GERMAN HAD A 13MM MACHINE GUN IN EUROPE. Whether it is the firing range, the power has far exceeded the Wehrmacht active 79 Makqin, the caliber of the machine gun is 12.7mm, the net weight of the gun is 38.2 kg, the tripod weighs 20 kg, the V-shaped trigger is mounted at the end of the gun magazine, there are two grips for easy control, and the tripod is installed, the effective range can reach 1.8 kilometers, and within 300 meters, it can penetrate the side armor of the active tank of the Northeast Army. The theoretical maximum rate of fire can reach 520 rounds per minute. For military vehicles, war horses can achieve greater killing effect. ”
"Test shot!" Qin Yu beckoned the guard next to him.
The guard is a disciple of Gong Baotian, and he ran over happily, Qin Yu is always very keen on the new weapons developed by the arsenal, and he always has to take a look at it with his own eyes every time, as Qin Yu's identity, he naturally won't try these big guys in person, and it's not fun for this thing to malfunction. Naturally, let these guards do it, and in private, Wang Zhuangfei can boast to others that except for the plane in the sky, all weapons have been in his hands.
The engine gun, a roar much louder than Makqin's, suddenly rang out, and suddenly bullets shot out, and several wooden stakes that were used as rakes in the distance exploded in large pieces.
Xu Yongchang and the others looked at it bluntly, if this thing hits someone, it is estimated that it will be less hit, and even treatment will be waived.
"Yu Shuai, the range and power of Makqin are still insufficient, but this machine gun has completely made up for the shortcomings of Makqin machine gun and can be used as an air defense weapon to make up for the situation that the ground troops have no power to fight back against enemy aircraft air attacks." Xu Yongchang's eyes lit up and said.
There are still a lot of talents in the Republic of China, but the conditions in history are limited, and many people have been buried. Just by virtue of Xu Yongchang's ability to draw inferences from one case in front of him, and immediately link this large-caliber machine gun with air defense, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Well, it is indeed necessary to form an air defense unit in the division-level troops, and in addition, this machine gun can also maintain the suppression of the enemy's heavy machine guns, so it can be said that it is used in both the air and the ground." Qin Yu nodded, "I called you over this time, firstly, about strengthening the awareness of air defense in the military academy and increasing the process of air defense, and on the other hand, are you interested in leading troops?" ”
"What does Yu Shuai mean?" Xu Yongchang didn't quite understand what Qin Yu meant.
"According to the telegram sent by Yang Xing, the performance of the commanders of the Hubei army and the Anhui army is not satisfactory, and there are many slackness in military training, and the two of you have performed relatively well in military academy education, and there is still a fierce debate on the practice of military theory education in actual combat on the part of the General Staff Department, so we plan to use part of the research in actual combat, and plan to form two experimental brigades, and then expand them into division-level troops. I'm going to let you both get through. Qin Yu said.
"Thank you Yu Shuai for promoting!" Xu Yongchang and Sun Yue said in high spirits, the two of them had helped Cao Kun train recruits under Cao Kun before, and although the officers had made outstanding contributions, they were still far from leading the army alone. Originally, after Naoli was subdued by the central government, he thought that he was just changing bosses, but he didn't expect to get this kind of opportunity that a soldier dreams of.
"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, if it weren't for the two of you who have excellent papers and insights, they won't fall on your heads, work hard, the northern battlefield will need people like you in the future." Qin Yu smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, the contradiction between him and the old-school Beiyang soldiers is relatively deep, because a large amount of disarmament is needed, and it will inevitably touch the interests of the old Beiyang. It is Cao Kun, and Yan Xishan is also not without ideas in this regard. Shaanxi's Liu Zhenhua cannot be said to be completely convinced. If you want to smooth the transition, you must support a group of new generations with momentum and ideas to replace the influence of the old Beiyang in the army. Moreover, the old-fashioned thinking of the old Beiyang is outdated and cannot keep up with the times, and the development of the army, navy, and air force at this time is changing with each passing day, and even if the weapons are updated, the conservative thinking cannot achieve the effect of completely changing the appearance of the army.
