Chapter 214: Marksmanship
Then Ren Chao, Zhao Bin, Wang Jing and others had their own experience of this new machine gun, Wang Jing after a shuttle of bullets, excited only shouted, "Cool, it's so cool!" When will this new machine gun be officially equipped with troops? ”
"It's coming!" Zhu Song replied with a smile, turned to Ren Chao and said, "Dashuai, this machine gun has just been developed, and it hasn't been named yet, so let's give it a name!" ”
"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Our unit is called the Tiger Army, and this new machine gun will be named the Tiger Light Machine Gun!" ”
"Okay, that's a good name, it's going to be called the Tiger light machine gun in the future." Zhu Song said with a smile.
"Ding~! The system prompts that a new weapon has been added to the weapon list, the Tiger light machine gun! At this moment, a crisp system prompt sounded in Ren Chao's mind.
Ren Chao couldn't help but show a smile on his face, every time something new in the world was researched, Ren Chao would get such a notification. Naturally, they also included some things they had developed themselves, such as the Tiger machine gun in front of them.
Ren Chao turned his head to Wang Jing and said with a smile, "Don't you want to equip this new light machine gun as soon as possible?" I'll have you send a hundred when I get back. ”
"Really?" A flash of excitement immediately flashed in Wang Jing's eyes.
"Marshal, this new light machine gun has just been developed, and it has not yet been put into production! At present, only fifteen samples have been produced, where do you let me get these hundred? As soon as Zhu Song heard this, his old face immediately drooped.
Ren Chao smiled and patted Zhu Song's shoulder, "You don't have to worry about this, but since this Tiger light machine gun has been researched, let's put it into production as soon as possible!" But don't be proud, the world is changing with each passing day, new weapons are born every day, and you will continue to research and improve to make the Tiger LMG more perfect. Strive to develop more new weapons. ”
"Please rest assured, we will definitely redouble our efforts and never disappoint the high expectations of Dashuai!" Zhu Song replied loudly.
"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that a new pistol has also been developed?" Then don't hide it, take it out and let us see it! ”
"Yes!" Zhu Song replied respectfully, and then beckoned to a Tiger Army soldier in the distance. The Tiger Ben soldier immediately walked over with a wooden box, first saluted Ren Chao respectfully, and then put the wooden box in his hand on the ground, and opened the wooden box to reveal five pistols inside.
"That's right! It's this kind of pistol! "As soon as I saw this pistol. Ren Chao said excitedly. Because these pistols are too familiar to Ren Chao. It often appears in film and television dramas in later generations, and it is true that this pistol is not very popular in Europe, but it is loved by Chinese people. In China, he also has many well-known nicknames, such as barge guns, box guns, box guns and so on. Even if the directors of the anti-Japanese war film and television dramas in later generations are brainless, no one dares to ignore his existence.
The box gun, officially known as the Mauser military pistol, was patented by the Mauser factory on December 11, 1895, and has already been developed. It is in the experimental stage. Like the Madsen light machine gun, Ren Chao unceremoniously plagiarized it, and the experts in the arsenal lived up to expectations and successfully studied him. This famous pistol was put out of the line in advance on the land of China.
Of course, what has been developed now is still the earliest box gun, and the more famous 20-shot box gun that appeared in later generations is far from being developed. However, this early box gun was a very good pistol for its time.
"Bang bang!" Ren Chao couldn't help the excitement in his heart. Personally picked up a box cannon, loaded it, and emptied the ten rounds in one go.
"One shot with five rings, two with two rings. One shot, one ring, six shots off target! This is Ren Chao's first use of the box cannon.
After Ren Chao heard the target report, his face couldn't help but blush slightly, this result is too fucking miserable!
"That~! Maybe it's too far, move the target to a distance of ten meters and try again! Zhu Song said cautiously.
"I think it's safe to move to a distance of five meters!" Wang Jing muttered in a low voice.
"Why don't you die!" Ren Chao said angrily. Ren Chao wanted to try the box cannon himself, and Zhu Song also deliberately explained that he placed the target at a distance of twenty meters, but at such a close distance, Ren Chao still scored such a dismal result, and this kind of marksmanship is really a bit embarrassing.
"I think it's the first time the handsome man has used this gun, and I'm not used to it." Zhao Bin came over and comforted.
"Okay, Lao Tzu knows what level he is." Ren Chao said angrily, "But if you practice, you should still be able to improve a little." ”
"I'll give it a try!" Wang Jing couldn't help itchy, picked up a pistol, loaded the bullet and aimed it at the target twenty meters away, "Papapa~!" "It's ten shots, because I'm not very familiar with it, Wang Jing also has two shots off target, but they are the first two shots, and the back shot is better than the other, and even a ten rings and a nine rings are shot. In comparison, it is a grade higher than Ren Chao's.
"No matter how good the marksmanship is, Lao Tzu is still handsome, you can only be a soldier under Lao Tzu!" Ren Chao said indignantly.
"That's, that's! The marshal is the commander who commands thousands of troops, and it doesn't matter whether this marksmanship is good or not. Wang Jing said with a smile on his face.
Ren Chao tried again unconvinced, and the results were indeed much better than the first time, but it was still miserable, three shots missed the target, and one shot hit the eighth ring, and it is estimated that it was also blind. Ren Chao, who didn't want to be embarrassed anymore, just stopped stupidly, and went back to find a place where no one was there to practice marksmanship, so as not to come out again in the future to be embarrassed.
Zhao Bin, Wang Jing and others were still there fiddling with this new pistol, Ren Chao walked in front of Zhu Song, "This pistol should also be put into production as much as possible, and there will be a Tiger light machine gun, which must be produced in large quantities, the more the better, and it must be done as much as possible." ”
"Yes!" Zhu Song replied respectfully.
Later, Ren Chao and others tested the newly developed rifle, which was actually not a new rifle, but was only partially improved according to the 1888 committee rifle. The improved rifle is more reliable and performs better. At present, the Tiger Ben Army is basically equipped with this 1888 commission rifle, and after the new rifle is developed, the troops will naturally phase out the old rifle. The famous Hanyang in China is based on the 1888 type committee rifle transformation, but Ren Chao let this rifle come out in advance, but because the first to manufacture this rifle was the Jiaoao Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, so this infantry was named Jiaoao rifle, and later Jiaoao was changed to Qingdao, and this infantry also became a Qingdao rifle. It was only because the arsenal later developed a new rifle, and this Qingdao-style rifle was phased out in only a few years, so it was not as famous as the later Hanyang-made.
