Chapter 624: The First Lesson of the Moon
Liu Yiyi was the first to shoot, asking Lu Xian'er and Lang Bute to observe, and then shoot on the spot. Liu Yiyi hit the bull's-eye with all six shots. Li Zhuangzhuang has a ring shot on the ring line of the bull's-eye. Liu Yiyi counted Li Zhuangzhuang as failing, and he had to continue practicing. Qian Yifan hit the bull's-eye with six shots. Lu Xian'er originally studied shooting training on Snow Goose Island, and hit the bull's-eye with 3 shots, 7 rings with one shot, 9 rings with one shot, and 4 rings with one shot, and failed. Lang Pot missed the target with 4 shots, 4 rings in one shot and 5 rings in one shot, and seriously failed. Therefore, Liu Yiyi asked Lu Xian'er and Lang Bu to immediately stop shooting and practice aiming. Li Zhuangzhuang and Qian Yifan helped and taught one-on-one, and Liu Yiyi effectively supervised and corrected the comments.
At 8 o'clock, Liu Yiyi, Qian Yifan, Li Zhuangzhuang, Lu Xian'er, and Lang Bute came to the shooting scene on time. After participating in the roll call, Du Ruolan shouted: Stand upright ——, take a break. We continued our shooting training in the morning. Before the training, though, who can answer me the question, why do we have shooting training?
There was silence for a while, but it was Princess Lang Bu who boldly replied: Report to the instructor, it is for the war.
Lan Junguo resolutely objected: The purpose of reporting to the instructor is to protect the family and defend the country.
Yang Momo replied suddenly: It is to defend justice.
Liu Yiyi shouted loudly at this time: Report to the instructor, it is for the sake of not war, for peace!
Good! You all answered correctly. Du Ruolan glanced at the team members with sharp eyes, and said with a very heavy heart: Actually, I hope that there will never be a need for shooting instructors in the world, just like Liu Yiyi said, the purpose of our training is not to war, for peace. However, there are always some people who are extremely selfish and cruel, representing some insatiable people, who carry out crazy plundering in order to achieve the interests of individuals or certain groups. It was they who brought war to the world, it was they who brought death and bloodshed to humanity.
Therefore, Yang Momo's answer is very important, in order to defend justice, the righteous people and righteous teachers who have been bullied and plundered must raise their swords and guns to fight against the unjust, that is, the robbers. That's what we're training for. What Lang Pot and Lan Junguo said is also right, it is for war, but war has justice and injustice, in order to protect the family and defend the country, in order to oppose aggression and plunder, we must take up arms.
Comrades! Friends! I would also like to tell you here that our ancestors, the ancestors of the most primitive times, did not take up stones and clubs for plunder and war, but for the defense of wild beasts. Therefore, even if humanity in our time is completely at peace, shooting training will still exist, because we will have to deal with the natural enemies of nature, which are all kinds of large animals, beasts that can threaten the safety of humans themselves. As a country, an army, and an individual, there is always someone in life who needs to maintain order and defend peace.
Therefore, shooting training is essential. Students, we should be proud that we are soldiers, because we are soldiers who protect the nation and protect national security. Next, you went through a morning of training, rifle training. Does anyone know where the rifle came from?
Ling Huaying said: Report to the instructor, it was made in a military factory.
Di Fanzhou said: The report to the instructor is produced by ourselves.
Du Ruolan looked at the team members, without a trace of smile, and continued to explain with a cold face: Your answer is not wrong. However, I asked about the history of the development of rifles. Here it is necessary for me to take some time to tell you that in the course of the development of the rifle, several eras have passed. First of all, the rifle as a lethal weapon belongs to the era of firearms, which is different from the cold weapons of ancient times.
In the 15th century, the first arquebuses appeared in Europe. Speaking of this, I can't help but feel sad and a little bit of pain in my heart. Gunpowder is the earliest invention of the Chinese on the earth, and the Chinese use gunpowder in medicine to cure diseases and save people; However, the invention of gunpowder of the Chinese nation spread to Europe, but it was used by bandits, who invented a weapon that could plunder and kill, that is, the earliest arquebus. We must understand the arquebus, which is a slow-burning arquebus that can be fired by igniting a slow-burning arquebus impregnated in a solution of potassium phosphate or other salts similar to potassium phosphate by loading black powder and lead pellets from the muzzle and turning a lever.
Since the arquebus uses a burning arquebus to ignite, it can be used continuously without stalling, and the gun is equipped with a trigger, so as long as the trigger is pulled, the projectile can be fired continuously. And because the soldier can always aim at the target, the arquebus has the advantages of fast firing, high accuracy and great lethality. At that time, arquebuses used projectiles were mostly made of stone, iron, copper ingots, lead and other materials, which were enough to penetrate the enemy's armor when fired at close range.
But here comes the question, students, think about it, does the arquebus have any shortcomings, what are the shortcomings? Du Ruolan asked with a serious and expectant expression: Please answer.
Lu Xian'er: Report to the instructor, can the arquebus still be lit on a rainy day? Complete.
Xin Ruofei: Report to the instructor, the arquebus is troublesome to operate, fighting at night, there is fire, it is a live target for the enemy. Complete.
Qin Liusi: Report to the instructor, the shooting is inaccurate and cannot be aimed. Complete.
Xiang Butong: Report to the instructor, the water battle cannot be carried out. Complete.
Well said you guys! Du Ruolan nodded with satisfaction and continued to explain: Since arquebuses have so many problems, European craftsmen are not fools. They had to make technical improvements for the sake of more profits and orders. Clever European craftsmen invented the idea of using small torches instead of fire folds to relight the fire. They added a small torch driven by a trigger to the rear of the arquebus, which burned all the time during the battle, and when it was time to shoot, the trigger was pulled to make the torch move forward, and the fire could be completed after touching the fire rope stuck in front of it. It has a range of up to 60 meters and up to 80 meters.
However, I would like to inform you that at this very time, in order to solve the shortcomings of the arquebus, a new rifle was born in Germany, that is, a trigger-fire arquebus with a spiral rifle. I would like to say a few more words by the way, the invention of the Germans brought great disasters to the world of the earth, the First World War, the Second World War, the Germans participated, and they were all initiators and vanquished. The two wars also brought great suffering to the German people. Continuing with the above topic, to put it bluntly, arquebuses are also called fire guns. There is a question, who can answer me, what other firearms were similar to firearms at that time?
Report to the instructor, there is! Liu Yiyi immediately raised his hand and replied: It is a bird gun invented during the Ming Dynasty of the Chinese nation. When the Ming Dynasty army was fighting against the Portuguese and fighting against the Japanese on the southeast coast of our country, they captured the arquebus, improved the arquebus, and invented the curved butt, which resembled a bird's beak, which was called a bird's beak gun at that time, also called a bird gun. However, there are many shortcomings in the bird, and it is troublesome to manufacture alone. It takes 5 kilograms, that is, ten catties of crude iron, to smelt 1 catty of refined iron, and it takes 11 months for a person to drill a pipe made of refined iron. Although this bird gun is durable, has a long range, and is not easy to burst, the production is very low. Unable to supply a large number of operational needs. Complete.
