Chapter Twenty-Three: Gaoping Dual-Purpose Heavy Machine Gun
Duan Yunpeng commanded the big guys to do a good job in the preparations for the test launch, and the test launch will be carried out later, but there can be no problems.
Although this machine gun can't be tested to hit airplanes, it can still hit ground targets.
Li Yunlong happily watched the testers prepare, wondering when he would be able to get a few back.
Although in terms of rate of fire, this Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun is not much faster than the most powerful Type 24 heavy machine gun that the Eighth Route Army has ever equipped, only six or seven hundred rounds per minute, but its range and performance are much stronger in all aspects.
After all, its armor-piercing ability can reach more than twenty millimeters, which is also lethal for a little devil's tank, not to mention armored vehicles, which can be exploded directly.
In a short time, the preparations for the test were ready.
On the test ground, many targets were erected, and now it is time to test the various properties of the machine gun, some of which are made of steel plates, which can test the armor-piercing ability.
There are also tests of the bullet dispersion area, which is also very important.
Li Yunlong volunteered to come and fire, and Duan Yunpeng naturally would not object, so he let Li Yunlong play in person.
Everyone gathered around to see Li Yunlong fire.
There's a huge ammunition box, already connected to a machine gun, and there's 300 rounds of ammunition in it, so it's definitely going to be a good fight, but it's going to cost money.
Li Yunlong is very painful, if this is used to fight devils, it will be too much.
Li Yunlong turned his head to look at Duan Yunpeng and said, "Xiao Duan, is this really going to waste so many bullets?" Can't you miss it? ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this new type of weapon must be tested a lot before it is put into equipment, if there is a problem with the barrel or any other problem, it will be used by the troops, so what if it is always stuck when the war starts?" So at this time, wasting some bullets is nothing. ”
That's right, although it is said that it is now a wartime state, and a lot of test work is done in a hurry, otherwise, if it is not tested for a year or two in peacetime, it will not be finalized and put into production.
Three hundred rounds of ammunition is enough to shoot down a devil's plane, and it is even possible to shoot down with only a few dozen rounds, it depends on luck and operation.
Duan Yunpeng shouted: "Regiment leader, let's fire!" ”
Li Yunlong nodded, turned around and put on the earplugs, and fired with a crane gun.
The roar of the heavy machine gun is very loud, and if the shooter does not protect himself, he may lose his deafness after the fight.
Seeing sparks coming out of the muzzle of the heavy machine gun, Li Yunlong hit very well, aiming at the target in the distance.
The target two thousand meters away was beaten into a sieve, and I have to say that Li Yunlong's marksmanship is still very powerful, and he can play with light and heavy guns.
If two thousand meters away, it is a devil's plane, it will definitely be shot down, but if it is a tank armored vehicle, then this distance will not work, and it will have to be shortened to a few hundred meters.
Next, Li Yunlong used a heavy machine gun to strafe targets 1,000 meters away and targets 500 meters away, and this time he hit them more accurately, of course, the penetration power will have to be brought back for inspection later.
This scene is really spectacular, Duan Yunpeng can't help but think of the scenes in the movies and TV series in his previous life, Li Yunlong is the same as Schwarzenegger, the fire is really fierce, and the fight is also very cool.
Seeing that the bullet was also finished, Li Yunlong was still in pain.
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Regiment Commander, now we have to check the effect of the strike, analyze how large the dispersion area is from the bullet holes on the target, and the penetration of the bullet, which can be measured from the target."
Li Yunlong ripped off the earbuds and laughed: "This machine gun is really cool to fight, if the new regiment has this thing in the future, I, Li Yunlong, will definitely beat the devil's armored car and tank into a sieve." ”
Indeed, the devil's tanks are very weak, most of them are light or ultra-light tanks, for example, the Type 94 has a total combat weight of only 3.45 tons, which is about the same as a truck, and the total combat weight of the Type 95 light tank is only 7.4 tons, and the armor thickness is only about 10 millimeters.
Even the Type 97 medium tank, although it is a medium tank, actually weighs only 15 tons, is equipped with a 57mm short-barreled gun, and the armor thickness is generally 25 mm.
So with a heavy machine gun, at a relatively close distance, it can also pose a certain threat to the devil medium tank.
Of course, if heavy machine guns can't solve it, there are also anti-tank rockets.
The targets were brought back, and Duan Yunpeng commanded the testers to measure the bullet holes on these targets, and the results were satisfactory, both in terms of dispersion area and penetration, which were ideal and within the design range.
This heavy machine gun, in all aspects, has improved its performance by a grade compared with similar machine guns in the world at present, and Li Yunlong is very happy.
Zhao Gang and they are the same, because the next new regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army have a big battle to fight, and with such good equipment, it will be much easier to fight, and they will have confidence.
In the past, there was no way to take the planes and tanks of the little devils, but now that it is good, Duan Yunpeng has come up with all the weapons and equipment to deal with them.
If this is on the battlefield, it can't overturn the little devils, then it is the problem of the Eighth Route Army itself.
Li Yunlong was very happy, and after he went back, he was preparing for a battle.
This time, Li Yunlong wanted to directly eat a brigade of the Japanese army, about a thousand people.
This Japanese brigade is not the Katata Wing, but another Wing, and if it can succeed, it will be a victory for total annihilation.
So for this goal, Li Yunlong still has to do a lot of preparations, and of course he has to wait for Duan Yunpeng to send Gao Ping dual-purpose heavy machine guns and other weapons.
At present, the Lutianling Arsenal has become the most important arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, and the production capacity of bullets has also been increased to 300,000 rounds per month, more than 3,000 rounds of various artillery shells, and the production of mortars, field artillery, and anti-aircraft artillery is being accelerated.
As for the materials, most of them are still obtained by Duan Yunpeng from the system, after all, the Eighth Route Army can't get so many raw materials now, and the most important thing is that some raw materials and processing equipment can only be used if they are obtained from the system, after all, what the Eighth Route Army can get is not good enough.
Now Duan Yunpeng's main energy is in the arsenal, that is, the special combat team, and he goes relatively little, but fortunately, Lao Zhang is here, so the training of the special combat team is still not left behind.
After the rotorcraft is manufactured, the special combat team will be like a tiger with wings and play a greater role.
Gyrocopters can be used to penetrate deep behind enemy lines and even directly carry out decapitation operations.
