Chapter 151
Li Xiao was in Moscow, checking out the latest new equipment.
Pistol! Pistol with magazine.
With 7.62 mm ammunition, the intrusion performance is very good.
And it adheres to the consistent characteristics of the Ming army's equipment, that is, endurance.
There is absolutely no firearm malfunction just because of one or two bumps.
"The automatic mode has a short recoil with a barrel; The locking method adopts the barrel swing type, the safety device is a hammer safety, and there is also an empty compartment hang-up mechanism. ”
Li Lin was holding the latest type of pistol, which was named the May Fourth style by his father. Very happy with this new pistol!
This thing is much stronger than a revolver, not only that it can hold eight rounds.
What's more, this thing is a magazine structure. Reload, which is much stronger than a revolver.
And the receiver closure of this gun is better, and the ammunition is more powerful.
Li Xiao smiled and picked up a May Fourth pistol on the table, and dismantled the May Fourth pistol into parts without even looking at it.
Li Lin's jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he was sure that his father was touching this pistol for the first time.
Actually...... It was so easy to disassemble the pistol into parts!
"Dad, you're ......!"
"Boy, look at your daddy's skills."
Li Xiao smiled and took off the training hat of a staff officer next to him, and wore the hat to cover his eyes.
Then he touched the parts on the table with his hand and quickly assembled the gun.
Li Xiao was full of confidence and assembled the pistol in a few clicks.
Back then, I didn't put a lot of effort into this.
Although, Li Xiao also thinks that this is not much fucking use.
It is always said that this is to have the ability to assemble a firearm even if you have injured your eye.
But Li Xiao felt that this was purely an excuse that these people came up with!
I'm blind, and I want a pistol to be used.
However, this did not delay Li Xiao's showmanship.
"Dad......!" At this moment, all the officers in the entire room were shocked.
No one could have imagined that the handsome man would show this hand.
Because they all know that this batch of weapons has just arrived in the morning.
And it is the first batch of products, and there is no reason for Dashuai to know in advance.
Can...... This hand-loaded pistol ...... is really amazing.
"How?" Li Xiao was proud, picked up the pistol and weighed it twice, opened the treasure chest and shot three times outside the window.
Outside the window, three sparrows fell straight from the tree.
It's amazing marksmanship, and the take-off speed of the sparrow has been calculated.
At this moment, the staff officers in the room were very impressed.
Starting with a new gun, it can be shot so accurately, but not everyone can do it.
"This thing, don't look at the caliber worse than a revolver.
But because the receiver is fully enclosed, the gunpowder is even more powerful.
The projectile has a high muzzle velocity and strong invasiveness.
Here's what's on it!
The disadvantage is that it is ......, because of structural problems, it needs to be manually disposed of when encountering rotten eggs.
And with the revolver, you just have to keep pulling the trigger.
In addition, jamming is also a problem.
However, this pistol can also quickly change magazines.
What's more important is that the cost is a little lower. ”
Li Xiao glanced at Li Lin with a smile, and the May Fourth pistol used a lot of stamping parts. Both the production time and the manufacturing cost are much lower than that of a revolver.
"You know what? War also has a cost, and the lower the cost, the better. This is not much different from doing business. ”
"No!" Li Lin responded, but he still thought in his heart, how could his father be so familiar with this kind of gun.
These words should have been reported by him, an intelligence staff officer.
Li Xiao picked up another shotgun, which is also called a troll.
"Haha! Look, that's what the king of melee combat is called.
Eighteen .5 mm caliber, 10 rounds of ammunition.
With your small physique, one shot will kill you. ”
Li Xiao held the gun and looked Li Lin up and down.
Rao is muzzle is gun is pointing upwards, and Li Lin is also hairy when he sees it.
I kept saying in my heart, kissing my son, kissing my son.
"This gun has been prioritized for the Chechen battalion supporting Kursk, who are in good health and do not need to carry pistols.
According to the information coming back from the front, the actual combat effect was very good. Zhao Liangdong reported on the side.
"Chechen battalion?
Is that the army that even has to slap a dog twice?
How are they fighting in Kursk? ”
At the mention of the front line, Li Xiao immediately put down the gun in his hand.
Kursk played hard, which made Li Xiao a little helpless.
The first is that the equipment of the Israelites is comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty, and the second is that the fighting will and fighting quality of the Israelis are second only to the Prussian army and the French army.
The Russian army is not their opponent at all.
At one point, the Israelis occupied three-quarters of Kursk, and the Mongol battalion held its position for three days.
After the battalion commander was wounded and evacuated from the position, the first company commander, Hugjirile, took over the command.
When the Chechen battalion entered their position, Hugejizhil had eight broken bones all over his body and was unable to move. ”
Li Lin couldn't help but be moved when he read the battle report!
The Mongolian battalion commander named Bayan himself drank with him in Moscow.
The Mongolian battalion is the trump card of the Provisional Ninth Division, and it can be said that it is the number one main force.
In the division with the prefix of the Ming Dynasty, this is a unit whose combat effectiveness is second only to that of the Daming Field Division.
But such a number one main force was actually beaten to the death and death of the whole battalion.
If the Chechen battalion hadn't arrived at the battlefield 20 minutes earlier, the entire army might have been wiped out.
Li Xiao looked out the window, the winter in Russia has passed, and under the spring breeze in March, Moscow is already in full bloom.
On the ground outside, there was already muddy water.
Not to mention in the field, even on the dirt roads on the outskirts of Moscow, there are already trucks stuck in mud puddles and unable to move.
Kursk, which is further south than Moscow, is a few degrees warmer than Moscow.
The situation there is only going to be worse than here.
Li Xiao is more worried about Kharkov, because the temperature there is definitely higher than in Kursk.
More importantly, the rivers of all sizes in Russia will also enter the spring flood season because of the melting of snow and ice.
In three days, a new round of the Kharkov campaign will be launched.
Poor traffic conditions would greatly hinder the Ming army's offensive.
"The Mongolian battalion is fighting well, so that the original battalion commander and that Hugejiril can recover from their injuries.
The rebuilding of the Mongolian battalion could not be without them.
Assign the Japanese and Korean engineering divisions to Ao Ye and Manchu respectively, and no matter what method they use, it is imperative to ensure that the roads of the attacking troops are clear. ”
"No!" Military staff officer Zhao Liangdong responded to the promise.
"Telegraphed to the Ninth Division, no matter what, hold Kursk, and drag the Israelis in Kursk.
The battle was successful, and I counted them as the first merit. ”
Li Xiao knows that the first condition now is whether Kursk can hold on.
If Kursk could not be held, the Ming army would be plunged.
The next place to lose will be Omel and Voronezh.
There will be a huge gap in the central front of the Ming army, which will directly threaten the flank of the attacking troops.
Even the Israelis could go straight behind the flank of the attacking forces and cut off the supply lines of Ao Ye and Man Ye.
This is a matter of life and death, Kursk must be defended, and if Kursk cannot be held, the Ming army's front must retreat at least 200 kilometers.
This is a huge blow to the Ming army in terms of morale!
Since the beginning of the war, the Ming army has won all battles.
Although Tsaritsyn was a crushing victory, it was a victory.
What's the deal with a big retreat?
Seeing Li Xiao staring blankly out of the window, Li Lin waved his hand and motioned for the staff officers to go out.
Every day, Dad would be in a daze like this for a while.
Li Lin knew that this was Li Xiao's deep thinking.
This is similar to the state of meditation of an old monk, and often after meditation the result is nothing.
But there may also be a stroke of genius!
"Do you think we can win?" Li Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Lin, who had not gone out.
There were only the two of them in the house, and even Zhao Liangdong went to send a telegram.
"Dad, you're ......!"
Li Lin's heart was shocked, this was the first time Li Xiao doubted whether the war would be won.
No matter how difficult it was or how unfavorable the situation was, Li Xiao didn't seem to have said such a thing before.
"Don't worry, my resolve hasn't changed.
If the Chinese nation wants to rise, it must fight like this once.
Our generation has worked hard, and future generations will have at least a hundred or even hundreds of years of good life in the future.
As for a few hundred years from now, I can't control that much, and you can't manage that much.
A generation has a generational mission, and a generation has a generational responsibility.
Let's just do what we have to do. ”
Li Xiao paused in front of the huge map for two minutes with his hands behind his back.
"Let's go, go hunting!"
Suddenly, Li Xiao picked up the shotgun on the table and walked out.
"Dad, you're ......!" Li Lin didn't understand that a battle involving hundreds of thousands of elite Ming soldiers was about to start.
Dad actually said that he was going to hunt at this time, what is the situation?
"Huh! Hunting is also relaxing, and when it comes to first-line things, Man Ye and Ao Ye are in charge.
I'm handsome, it's not appropriate to go to them.
Stay in the line and have nothing to do, just go out for a walk.
Change your mind and think about how you want to fight next.
The stakes are so high that we cannot afford to lose it, and we cannot afford to lose it. ”
Li Xiao reloaded the shotgun as he walked.
Loaded into the chamber of the gun is a deer bullet with a green bullet, although the effective killing distance is only fifteen meters.
But, if it's really hit, don't say it's human.
Even a bear has to be scrapped!
Seeing the red-headed one-headed bullet on the table, Li Xiao also grabbed two and stuffed them in.
A single-headed bullet can be lethal within 200 meters.
Unfortunately, the shotgun's sights make it difficult for this thing to accurately hit the target at such a distance.
However, with Li Xiao's feeling about the gun, it is still no problem to hit a target such as a deer or bear within 30 meters.
But the problem is that ......, I don't think I can get that close.
"You bring an Acre rifle!" Li Xiao thought about it, and asked Li Lin to bring the Aka rifle.
As soon as the words came out, Li Xiao felt that what he said was a little redundant.
Go out on your own, and at least one guard battalion will follow.
Could it be that the Acre rifle will still be missing?
It is estimated that these boys can even bring a few MG-34s.
In the guard regiment, there was even an anti-aircraft artillery company.
Armed with a double-two-five high-speed anti-aircraft gun, towed by a tractor.
Where Li Xiao is stationed, there is an antiaircraft artillery position.
There is also the ability to shoot on the move!
However, because of the instability of the tractor, there are big problems with the accuracy of shooting.
Li Xiao hadn't thought about hunting with anti-aircraft guns, and the prey he got in that way was probably a piece of minced meat full of gunpowder.
"Dad!
From Kursk, there was news that Israeli soldiers at the front line were heavily armed with Aka rifles.
The sample gun will be sent back tomorrow! ”
Getting into the jeep, Li Lin said the news that he didn't have time to say in the morning.
"There's no need to make a fuss, we've been fighting the coalition for so long.
Excellent equipment is copied by others, and this is also something that cannot be helped.
Not only the Israelis, but also the British, the French, the Prussians, and even the Italians, should have the ability to copy the Acre rifle.
Do you know why the French and Prussians did not have a lot of equipment? ”
Li Xiao looks indifferent!
"I don't know!" Li Lin really didn't think about this problem.
Logically speaking, what Israel can imitate, the French and Prussians should copy.
At least, the industrial capacity of these two countries is no worse than that of Israel.
"Huh!
They can't afford to equip it! ”
Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Can't afford it?"
Li Lin was a little confused, although the Arca rifle was a little more expensive than an ordinary rifle, it was not to the point where it could not be equipped.
"Yes! I can't afford to equip it.
You do the math, the Aka rifle is a burst.
Some recruits were inexperienced, and the bullets that grabbed the trigger and flew out as soon as they were in the magazine.
Thirty bullets, out of the way in a few seconds.
How many more bullets did they spend on the million-strong armies of France and Prussia?
So, they can afford to be armed with guns, but they can't shoot bullets.
Relatively speaking, the current rifle is the most suitable for them.
In wars, many times it is resources and logistics that are fought. Who can last longer!
You know that I know that the May Fourth pistol has the problem of jamming, and it has to be promoted on the front line.
It's not because the May Fourth pistol uses a lot of stamping accessories.
The cost and man-hours are much lower than that of a revolver.
Don't look at a gun a little lower, we now have a million troops on the front line.
Together, that's a lot of money.
In a war of this scale, in fact, there are not many winners and losers on the battlefield.
In fact, both sides involved in the war are boiling, and when the country's manpower and material resources are exhausted, the war will be over. ”
Li Xiao felt that he had to let Li Lin know that there would be no good end for reckless use of force.
The front-line soldiers must fight well, and the common people in the back must also have food. The standard of living is not going up, or at least not down.
"That's why my father didn't recruit a lot of soldiers in the country. You want to ensure the stability of the country. ”
"Yes!
Maintain a sufficient ratio of soldiers to people!
The Ming Dynasty now has an army of two million, and almost half of its men and horses are in Russia.
Our soldier-to-civilian ratio is 400 to 1, which means that 400 ordinary people feed one soldier.
I dare to fight such a battle for ten years.
But ask Napoleon, ask Vins, or Prussia who just came to power.
Do they dare to say this?
Ten years, I'm afraid I've boiled their bones dry. ”
