9.156 Light and heavy machine gun duel

Seeing Gao Lantian return the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle in his hand to the soldiers of the 4th Battalion with a dark face, Lu Sanqiang knew that this round was won by the Soviet-style rifle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFor this result, Lu Sanqiang was not surprised at all.

Next, it was the turn of the Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun and the Type 24 heavy machine gun, which was modeled after the German-made 7.92mm Type 08 Maxim heavy machine gun.

Based on the same principle as rifles, the Makqin heavy machine gun manufactured by the Chinese Arsenal once again lost to the Soviet Union in terms of manufacturing technology.

What made Gao Lantian feel even more embarrassed was that the Type 24 heavy machine gun produced by the Jinling Arsenal he took out was still the version of the Makqin heavy machine gun used by the Chinese army, which was more well-made! It is conceivable that at present, many local miscellaneous troops are still using those old Makqin heavy machine guns, how poor the quality will be?

It's really more popular than people, and you have to throw it away!

As the Soviet version of the Maxim heavy machine gun, the Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun was characterized by the addition of wheels and a shooter baffle, two improvements that also reflected the care of the Soviet military industry.

The increase in wheels has greatly improved the efficiency of the movement of heavy machine guns, and in modern warfare with a large amount of artillery input, the shortening of the transfer time of machine gun positions often means that the chances of receiving shells are much smaller!

As the most hated object of infantry on the battlefield, heavy machine gun shooters are often taken care of by enemy shooters, and with an iron plate that can block 7.92mm rifle bullets in front, the safety of machine gun shooters is greatly improved! Looking at the bullet marks on the Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun shooter's baffle in front of the 4th battalion headquarters, Gao Lantian could fully imagine that when the machine gunner was shooting, the Japanese army's crackling on the baffle kept crackling, and it sounded like a scene that made people's hearts tremble!

It can be said that these two designs unique to the Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun are very suitable for machine gun shooters! It is very much in line with the reality that machine gunners on the battlefield are prone to focused killing! How many machine gun shooters can be saved in this battle!

After seeing this Soviet heavy machine gun, even Gao Lantian wanted to go back and let the machine gunners in the regiment also get such a guard plate to block the front of the heavy machine gun! So this round, needless to say, it was the Soviet Union again!

Now only Czech light machine guns and Dzhegalev light machine guns remain!

At this time, Gao Lantian suddenly remembered that Lu Sanqiang really hadn't said anything big to him before. Due to the problem of production process, except for this Czech light machine gun, Gao Lantian's favorite German-style weapon really has nothing to handle!

Compared with the two German-made weapons on the field before, the bloodline of the Czech light machine gun seems a little less pure, in fact, except for the German caliber of 7.92 mm, the Czech light machine gun basically has nothing to do with Germany! As you can easily guess from the name, this light machine gun is of Czech origin.

The official model of the Czech light machine gun is ZB-26, after the First World War, Czechoslovakia in the European continent at that time with the help of France, the first military power on the European continent at that time, established a complete military industrial system, among them, the ZB-26 light machine gun is a classic of the Czech military industry.

The Czech light machine gun adopts the bolt deflection locking method, that is, the bolt tail is lifted up and snapped into the locking card slot at the top of the receiver to achieve locking. You can choose between single or burst shots. It has a caliber of 7.92mm, fires 7.92×57mm ammunition, is fed by a magazine, and has a capacity of 20 rounds.

This kind of machine gun has a simple structure, reliable action, and is not easy to be damaged in the fierce war and harsh natural environment, in addition to easy use and maintenance, accurate shooting, as long as the barrel is replaced, it can do continuous shooting, and is deeply loved by the Chinese army.

In the world, China is the country with the largest number of ZB-26 light machine guns, and the Nanjing government not only purchased a lot of ZB-26 light machine guns, but also let military factories copy ZB-26 in large quantities. By 1938, the Czech plant in Brno alone had shipped nearly 30,000 ZB-26 light machine guns to China.

It is precisely because of such a large number of imports that basically the Czech light machine guns equipped by the Central Army are all original imported Czech goods, and Gao Lantian now finally has something that is not inferior to Soviet weapons in terms of manufacturing technology to come up with!

"Battalion Commander Lu, our rifles and heavy machine guns are indeed inferior to Soviet goods, but this Czech... I don't think I will lose your Soviet goods again, right? ”

This time, Gao Lantian is full of confidence! The manufacturing process of the Czech military industry is quite hard, just from the appearance, the shiny Czech light machine gun is much more pleasing to the eye than the black and thick Deg Galev light machine gun!

"The performance of the Czech style is indeed good, but the 20-round magazine capacity, and the upright magazine, is really ......."

Although Lu Sanqiang's words were lightly spoken, they pointed directly to the Achilles heel of the Czech light machine gun!

The ZB-26 LMG has a 20-round magazine that still seems a little too small for a LMG gun. The 20-round reload meant that the Czech light machine gun had to change its magazine several times during combat, which would inevitably lead to an interruption in firepower. And in battle, the machine-gun fire, which is the backbone of fire, even if it has to be interrupted, the interval is as small as possible.

Another disadvantage of the Czech light machine gun was that it used the method of feeding ammunition with a magazine above the body, which affected the shooter's sight! It's very important for the Heavy to have a good line of sight!

On the other hand, the Deg Galev light machine gun has a very simple structure, with only 65 parts in the whole gun, which can be built even by an apprentice in the factory, which is very suitable for mass production. Moreover, the mechanism of the Dzeggalev light machine gun is very reliable, although it is a little too heavy, but due to the use of a cartridge for feeding, it can hold 47 rounds at a time, and since the cartridge is flat on top of the gun body, the shooter's sight will be better.

The surface of the Deg Galev light machine gun is wide and smooth, and no matter how much you get it dirty, it will not affect the firing performance much. Overall, the Deg Galev light machine gun is an extremely simple and reliable machine gun, and the power of the M1908R 7.62 mm bottom rim bullet is also large enough, it is really a very practical light machine gun.

With a 47-round cartridge plate, the Deggarev LMG narrowly outperformed the Czech LMG. This contest between German and Soviet-style weapons ended with Soviet-style weapons defeating German weapons 3:0!

Gao Lantian finally had nothing to say this time! However, Lu Sanqiang showed a very general demeanor, and he said to Gao Lantian and the others with a smile: "Lao Maozi's goods are more practical, and besides, these two batches of goods are different in age, which is really a little unfair in comparison... When the Military Council buys new gadgets from Germany, I'm afraid it will be the turn of the Soviet Union and no one will ask for it......"

Gao Lantian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that Lu Sanqiang was comforting him, according to the current relationship between the Wuhan government and Berlin, even if there was really a new German weapon, I was afraid that it would be the Japanese who got it in the end......
