Chapter XVIII
The next morning, everyone got up and started to pack up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of everyone's busyness, Chen Xin took out a "Type 1 rifle" and began to test firing, tested a few rounds of live ammunition, let Lao Bai remember the ballistic characteristics, draw a scale on the ruler of all muskets, and make a small hole, so that the shooter can choose which small hole on the scale should be used according to the distance of the target, and then connect the small hole and the front sight in a line, and at the same time put the target into the small hole, you can achieve fool shooting.
"Let's stop and come here." Chen Xin beckoned everyone to come over, preparing to teach everyone the basic usage first, and then fire the gun.
Chen Xin shot while explaining, and hit the door panel 160 steps (1.2 meters in one step in the Ming Dynasty) several times in a row, and several people quickly ran over to lift the door panel back, looking at the several big holes above, everyone's eyes were about to glow.
"We have never stopped training muskets before, with the strength of everyone now, with this particularly heavy weight of the gun body, basically we can achieve the barrel stability when aiming, coupled with the cooperation of this ruler and the front sight, shooting unfixed targets basically do not worry about missing the target." Then he took out a lead bullet and said, "Let's talk about the bullet we use, with the weight of this large projectile, as long as it hits, the enemy will immediately lose its combat effectiveness, so we don't need to pursue accuracy excessively, just hit it." In the future, our main training direction in the field of firearms is shooting at active targets. ”
The big cat who got a Type 1 rifle fiddled back and forth and asked, "Big brother, aren't we using a shield array?" Will you have to change your way of fighting in the future? ”
Chen Xin smiled and shook his head, "Our tactics have never been fixed, they have been improving, and now they are just adding a long-distance shooting tactic, in my vision, in the future of the Jin country, even if the team is expanded, only our old brothers can be completely trusted, and our 20 old brothers must try to be complete and refined, and be able to adapt to any battlefield environment." Lay a solid foundation for rapid expansion in the future. ”
Zhong Da opened his mouth and said, "Big brother is right, this is just enriching our means of warfare, just like yesterday's battle, if there is this kind of firecracker, everyone can cover each other and quickly rush into the pier, but after rushing in, we will eventually have to rely on other means to break the enemy, the loading speed of this firearm is too slow." ”
Chen Xin nodded in agreement, "Yes, before having a large number of firecrackers or creating a burst of firearms, the battle is still inseparable from cold weapons, we must not relax, we must remember in our hearts that at this stage, the white-knuckle assault is our main means of breaking the enemy and winning." ”
Everyone said yes in unison, and then happily began to familiarize themselves with the launch, and when each person fired a few rounds, they were basically able to ensure that they did not miss the target within fifty paces, and a few wounded who were still a little weak followed on horseback, and the rest continued to carry the supplies on the horse's back and lead the horse away.
Next, Chen Xin carefully chose the target, and did not touch the village fort that he was not completely sure of, and specialized in the small fortress where the gold and grain were stored, and occasionally laid down one or two small-scale craftsman workshops to repair and transform the equipment. At the same time, it also constantly summarizes all the battle examples and improves the combat movements and formation changes of the people.
In 10 days, Chen Xin and others laid a total of 7 grain storage points, 3 artisan workshops, 5 villages, and 3 Jurchen aristocratic Tokso.
That night, in an iron-making workshop repaired by Chen Xin and others, Chen Xin began to count the recent seizures.
In the past 10 days, nearly 1,000 enemies have been killed, 7,000 taels of silver have been seized, 2 sacks of jewelry, and 4,000 catties of weapons and armor have been seized.
It can be said that he has gained a lot, but Chen Xin can't be happy, because he has money and no place to spend it, and then the Jindi realm is a slave system, that is to say, there are basically no free people, coupled with the massacre during the Nurhachi period, the entire domestic trade route is blocked, all industries are withered, materials are scarce, and there is no silver to buy things.
If you want to use silver to develop industry, it is even more impossible, Chen Xin is a Han Chinese, and now even his own identity is someone else's minion, so it is impossible to know whose factory he built in the end.
Chen Xin, who has money that can't be spent, is confused, is it useless to do this by himself, the food he has grabbed so far has to be recharged, and the materials in hand dare not be taken away, and they are all hidden in the old forest, it is really aggrieved, how did he travel to Liaodong in the first place, even the current northwest is better than this hell on earth.
Chen Xin, who was a little bored, simply put these aside and began to adjust everyone's equipment again according to the recent combat summary.
The bottom layer of the armor is all made of cotton armor style, but it has been greatly improved, the cotton is evenly compressed by Lao Bai, and the cotton used in the two cotton armors is now synthesized into one, and there is no iron sheet inside, and there is a 4mm thick strong compressed steel plate on the chest to protect the fatal parts of the chest and abdomen. In other places, high-strength steel is woven into small and thick rings, which are laid flat and fixed in cotton, covering the whole body, which not only reduces weight but also has a good anti-arrow function.
The shield is still the original specification, but the inside is completely high-strength steel, and the outside is covered with a layer of wood paint, this steel shield can resist the bird's shot at a distance, and it will still be shot through within 20 steps, but the lead bullet that has been slowed down by the steel shield has been unable to penetrate the steel plate inlaid on the cotton armor, although the strong kinetic energy will still cause some damage to the human body, but as long as it does not lose its combat effectiveness on the spot, then everything is easy to say.
In this way, it is much lighter than before, the protection power has increased, and everyone can charge faster.
As for weapons, first of all, the A-1 rifle, which has been improved after actual combat testing. Strengthened the strength of the wrench; Then based on a captured damaged flintlock pistol, the firing mechanism was improved; Finally, the rear of the barrel was changed to a threaded shape, which was easy to replace, and each gun was equipped with two long and short barrels, a long barrel for long-range single-headed bullets, and a short barrel for short-barrel shotguns at close range.
The knife with the shield was selected with a total length of 75cm, which not only has a straight blade, but also has a thick back, which can be cut and stabbed for easy use.
But in a hand-to-hand fight, only one knife is not safe, so it is equipped with a slender short knife with a length of 45cm.
Finally, bring an axe to take out the occasional heavily armored enemy.
Long-range weapons, now that everyone has muskets, and they are constantly learning the use of bows and arrows, the javelins are not the main force, and they are only equipped with short javelins used by falcons.
Then everyone brought a pack of hidden weapons, 9 heptagonal pyramids weighing half a catty each, this thing is cheap and easy to use, it was learned from the enemy in a previous battle, and it was suddenly thrown out in the battle, and it was impossible to prevent it.
The biggest improvement is the grenade, the grenade that was made by hand before, it was too big and too heavy, and now there is a lot of excess energy, so that Lao Bai purified the gunpowder, and then carried out high-precision granulation, the explosion power rose sharply, and Chen Xin spent a lot of energy, according to a little vague memory of the information let Lao Bai experiment out of the fuse, now everyone carries the grenade not only slimmed down to half a catty, but also no longer need to be lit with an open flame, as long as the top safety cover is opened, pull out the fuse can be thrown.
Chen Xin, who was bored waiting for Lao Bai to use existing materials to improve his equipment, suddenly heard an eagle's cry, and a black shadow instantly stopped at his feet, Chen Xin had a hunch that his good days of destroying everywhere in the Houjin country were over.
