Chapter 503: Chiyou Nine Soldiers

After the Germans occupied Belgium, they took over the FM company. Production of the M195 White Browning pistol began, renamed P6-40 (b), and was equipped with the German army. On the other hand, the Canadian company Inglis also continues to produce for equipping the Commonwealth army. In World War II, both opposing camps were armed with M1935 Browning pistols.

In the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Central Army in China was also equipped with some Canadian-made M1935s, commonly known as Canadian pistols, or 90 pistols.

After World War II, after some minor adjustments in Belgium, the new M1935 Browning pistol has become recognized as a world-famous gun as an ideal portable gun for elite troops. Bai Chongxi looked like something was wrong with the new gun, and Dai Anlan next to him had already seen something different. Although the internal structure of the original shaft shell hook was replaced by a sheet shell hook, the external changes can still be seen in the fact that the ruler has been fixed and the stock mounting card slot on the back of the grip has been eliminated.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, the central government ordered thousands of guns for officers, and later many soldiers of the Pioneer Army were each armed with an M1935 Bai Langning pistol, which made everyone more familiar with the original gun, but they did not expect the Pioneer Army to be modified. Originally, in the eyes of everyone, the M1935 was already great, and it was remarkable that the Vanguard Army could imitate it, let alone modify it.

Many of the guns are the work of gunsmiths who have repeatedly modified them. Personal guns may be able to further modify and improve the performance of guns, but if it is a large industrial production, a little change needs to involve a lot. The industrial manufacture of a gun can last a long time. For example, the same masterpiece of Browning, the Americans used the M1911 "for more than half a century in the military", but it was basically the same. There are a lot of things that could be improved, but no major adjustments have been made.

So there are no major defects, and generally no major adjustments will be made to the original gun.

However, "at this time, the pistol production of the vanguard army has just started, and this new, Meng Xiang, because of the guidance of the golden finger across time, directly adopted the new model that also lasted for half a century after World War II.

The Vanguard exchanged a batch of No. 4 tanks from the Germans for a production line of M1935 Browning pistols, as well as a group of engineers and mechanics who came to the service. With the help of these foreigners' door-to-door service teams, the domestic military experts built a new production line "for the production of these new pistols."

Because there is already a sample gun, just draw a scoop with a gourd. As for the designer, it was pushed on top of the head of a pig warrior clone named Bai Ning. Unlike TJ-37, which has been created by itself, this style of directly using it for engraving and stealing still allows Meng Xiang to print a white five-pointed star on the handle of the gun, which can be regarded as a commemoration of Bai Langning.

This pistol is distinguished by others because of this mark... The White Browning pistol, called the White Star pistol. It and two other pistols made by the Pioneer Army, and became three dazzling stars in the pistol world.

Another pistol was already in its infancy at the Vanguard Army's firearms research institute. Because Meng Xiang put forward the concept of the gun family early, the caliber of this gun is 7 mm and Q mm barrels, and Meng Xiang, who has been acquiesced to the title of White Star, has also left the name of Black Star for this highly penetrating pistol. Among its references are the 54 pistol, as well as its prototype, the Russian TT-33 pistol.

These two pistols are more penetrating, but the performance is not very good. Therefore, the reference object of the new black star is not only them" but the many famous guns that Meng Xiang was able to collect after World War II. The Ordnance experts of the Vanguard Army are busy combining the advantages of each firearm to design a better pistol.

"Not bad!" Everyone took turns to get through another gun addiction. They are all veterans of playing with guns, and they immediately realized the benefits of this gun, and they have a little higher regard for the vanguard army's ordnance manufacturing capacity.

"Brother Boqin, it's been a long time!" Bai Chongxi had already walked in front of a rifle at this time, "Holding a person's hands."

The man greeted Yang Jie and the others with a smile.

Yang Jie also looked at Li Zhichen in front of him and sighed.

Li Zhichen, who participated in the Wuchang Uprising that year and was a big bull in the domestic ordnance industry in the past few years, "At this time, he has also invested in the vanguard army, how can he not let Yang Jie sigh? And he heard that Li Chenggan also came to the vanguard army. Not only the famous Er Li, "some other military experts also ran to the vanguard army that gave them more opportunities." The words of the vanguard army fighting on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, coupled with the generous working treatment and excellent working environment, have become a place where soldiers and workers actively participate.

Yang Jie knew that the other person standing next to the rifle at this time was Zhao Guocai, who he had seen when he had designed the official rifle, but what was placed in front of him was not a formal one, but another rifle with a scope. Yang Jie knows, this is a sniper rifle. In the last world war, the British had already put forward the term sniper, but it was not widely used. However, there were many similar sharpshooters with scopes in the Vanguard.

"For sharpshooters?" Bai Chongxi smiled and pointed to the rifle, the sharpshooters of the vanguard army have already come out of their names, and many devil officers were shot in the head on the battlefield, and their deaths are unknown.

In the first half of the year, in order to prevent the sharpshooters of the vanguard army from headshots, the devil also specially ordered the steel helmet to be dealt with. Not only is the conspicuous red star on some helmets removed, but also because some steel helmets are exposed to the steel bottom after the paint is removed, they are also particularly conspicuous in the daytime, and they also need to be treated with mud and other methods.

In the early days of the war, the captain of the military god wing, Kunigoro Iizuka, who had been propagated by the devils, was found by the veterans of the Central Army who were stationed on the front line of Lushan because he was wearing such a helmet with an exposed steel bottom and was killed with one shot.

For the same reason, the conspicuous steel helmets were a good target for the Vanguard sharpshooters. The Type 30 steel helmet can't stop the direct drill bit of the 7.92mm bullet at all, and the headshot method of brain-splattering is really demoralizing, especially for a country like the devil that attaches great importance to the head. Hence the tactical guidance specifically for the sharpshooters of the Vanguard Army.

"Yes, it's a sniper rifle!" Li Zhichen turned around and picked up the rifle, and said with a smile...... 7 mm caliber, generally equipped with 25 times or 4 times the aim. "7 mm? Could it be that this was used to replace Mauser? Yang Jie looked at this rifle and immediately thought of the Mauser "kan98k sniper rifle" that was being used at this time in the vanguard army.

He thought again about the 7mm assault rifle he had seen earlier, and vaguely thought about the problem of universal logistics ammunition, "but it was not very clear."

"The effective distance is more than 800 meters? The range of the 38 big cover is even farther than this! The discussion between Bai Chongxi and Li Zhichen on the side interrupted his thoughts, and Bai Chongxi naturally meant that he did not pay too much attention to the performance of the 7mm caliber rifle. If it is said that the assault rifle, with the rain of bullets like a submachine gun, fights at close range, then the long-range sniper rifle is not suitable for using a smaller caliber. But he did not know that later generations had smaller caliber sniper rifles. The mention of the devil's 38 rifle is just to test other information.

"This is not an ordinary rifle, it is a specialized sniper rifle!" Li Zhichen was also a little helpless in his heart, although there were sniper rifles at this time, the German Mauser, the Soviet Russian Mosinagan, the British Lee Enfield, and the American Springfield, but there were no official specially designed sniper rifles, all of which were sniper rifles formed by selected rifles and scopes.

These non-professional sniper rifles, while just as sophisticated, have some parts that are not suitable for specialized sniping. It was precisely at this point that Meng Xiang specially designed a 7mm sniper rifle at the beginning while carrying out the 7mm gun family.

This is a truly domestic product. Li Zhichen studied mining and metallurgy at Harvard at the time, "He is very interested in metal materials. He also participated in the development and production of special alloy steel materials for these barrels on the basis of the use of German technology. This is all produced in Huaxia's own electric furnace. Even the sights were produced in the glass factory in Qinhuangdao.

He knew that Bai Chongxi might have only seen this sniper rifle, one side of the rifle, and ignored the word sniper in front of him.

As the standard weapon of the Vanguard, this sniper rifle "is only equipped with sniper teams, while the rest of the formation is equipped with assault rifles, and no one uses ordinary click rifles anymore." By this time, he had already heard that many troops had begun to replace with another 7.92mm assault rifle. However, he tested that "the 7.92 assault rifle has too much recoil, does not shoot accurately, and is somewhat complicated" and is not as good as the 7.62mm assault rifle. Even less inferior to the TJ-37 assault rifle of the Vanguard's own creation.

Similarly, the sniper rifle in his hand "is also a little better than the Mauser." Switching to a G-times scope, he was satisfied with the target deviation at 1000 meters. As for what Bai Chongxi said about the small caliber, it should be because he didn't know that the vanguard army also developed a large-caliber sniper rifle, and if he saw that powerful sniper rifle, he wouldn't say that it was small. However, even a 7mm sniper rifle is no less powerful than the Mauser 98K.

"Not bad!" Looking at the bullet holes that penetrated the 3mm bullseye steel plate on the 1000-meter target, it took a long time for Bai Chongxi to spit out these two words.

Although they used the special bullets of the sniper rifle, the thought of being shot in the head from a distance of thousands of kilometers made the people in the observation group feel a chill on their scalps.

This sniper rifle was also rejected by Zhao Guocai and other major developers from the naming right, but with the sniper's pinyin abbreviation "JJ" to represent, named JJ-37, to be called. Such a naming made Meng Xiang marvel at the breadth and profundity of the Chinese language, and once again couldn't control his associative ability, and his toothache occurred.

Thankfully, the Observer didn't stay in front of the somewhat fierce sniper rifle for long, and they didn't look too much into the meaning of the codename behind it, and they were quickly attracted by a machine gun next to it.

Everyone immediately saw that this was not the Storm machine gun of the MG-42 that the Vanguard Army was equipped with.

"Also 7 mm?" Bai Chongxi looked at Li Chenggan, who was personally directing and fiddling with these guns, and joked.

"It's exactly 7 mm." Fan Chong said lightly.

"Is the vanguard going to set up a weapon system of its own?" Yang Jie, who was accompanying him next to him, suddenly became open-minded, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and machine guns were all 7 mm caliber, which was already different from the mainstream weapon standards of 7.92 mm and 7.62 mm at this time. The re-establishment of the system is undoubtedly a new start in all aspects of the military industry. Everything has to be recalculated, and redesign is as difficult as you can imagine.

And the most critical thing is the production of 7 mm ammunition "There are almost no foreign countries, relying only on domestic production, can you guarantee a few holes?"

Yang Jie didn't have the heart to look at the general-purpose machine gun that everyone had gathered around Ran, and Li Chenggan introduced, "I just kept thinking about the difficulty of building a weapon system in my mind.

He was right in his guess, Meng Xiang was indeed building Huaxia's own unique weapon system, which was part of Chiyou's plan.

Chiyou Nine Soldiers. Chi You Ji Ge is divided into two parts to study.

One is light weapons. In the early stage of the Chiyou program, only nine types of weapons at the individual soldier and squad and platoon levels were selected as key research and development targets.

Respectively, assault rifles, pistols, sniper rifles, and general-purpose machine guns, these four are the main research objects of the 7mm gun family.

Of course, pistols and sniper rifles are also available in 9 mm and other calibers. The others are grenade launchers, grenades, 60-mm mortars, multifunctional bayonets, submachine guns. These are all things that can be relatively easily developed by the ordnance workers of the vanguard army at this time.

The Pioneer Army's military research has been carried out for more than two years, and it is not too difficult to develop it because there are various samples for reference and analysis of various drawings, and the content of scientific and technological components is not high.

Just like machine guns, in addition to World War II machine guns such as the MG-42, the squad machine guns of the Vanguard Army also have various general-purpose machine gun references after the war. Such as the American m60, the Soviet Russian rpd, the West German mg3, the Belgian maG, etc., except for the American m60, the others are classics.

Because of the short time, "the general-purpose machine gun that came out at this time was only an experimental prototype." The vanguard army has the MG-42 in its hands, and there is no hurry, the newly developed machine gun is naturally constantly being optimized.

The same object of reference, such as a grenade launcher, is small, and it is even more slow to break through. The gun grenade in the fifties developed rapidly, but the grenade launcher matured in the 70s.

However, it is more difficult, only there are gun grenades that fire empty cartridges, and the grenade gun still needs time to explore.

Just like the research of the 7mm gun family, and the formation of a 7*41 research system of angry bullets, along with the project of gun grenades, grenades are also being systematically studied. Technologies such as delayed fuses and semi-prefabricated fragmentation have also become the key technologies for the vanguard army to research and conquer along with those grenades in World War II and the M57 grenades after World War II.

Also absorbing the technology of the post-World War II era, 60 mortars, submachine guns, etc. are more difficult "There is only one prototype of it." Not much was shown to the Mission this time.

If it weren't for the observation group coming this time, even the few things in front of Meng Xiang would not have come out.

Although the purpose of the observation group this time was to touch the details of the vanguard army, Meng Xiang saw the big bulls in the observation group, and his heart moved to dig the foot of the wall again.

Bai Chongxi, he doesn't count on it. The Gui family can cooperate, and the people are not squeezed like Yan Xishan, and they will definitely not succumb to the tail of the ox. However, Yang Jie, Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaohui and other strategists and fierce generals made Meng Xiang excited. During the reception, the vanguard army's own military level was shown to them.

Some people in China have been preaching that the weapons of the vanguard army are all bought and not produced independently, and they are like duckweed without roots, once the supply channel is cut off, it will not last long. Moreover, the arms are controlled by others, and they do not know what secret agreement they want to accept to betray Huaxia's interests.

Some people are fueling the fire, and many people actually believe it. Meng Xiang launched this, which was a fierce counterattack. After absorbing most of the military engineering talents in China at this time, the vanguard army exhibited their research results and proved their strength.

Of course, these light weapons did not attract everyone's attention too much, and the research on heavy weapons, another part of Meng Xiang's Chiyou plan, made everyone very interested.

All local arsenals in China can produce light weapons, plus all kinds of imported light weapons, and their performance is not much different from that of devils. And when facing devils, the loss is often in the artillery.

Due to the relative simplicity of mortars, a lot of them can be produced in various parts of China, but excluding mortars, only 98 guns were produced in the entire 8 years of the Anti-Japanese War in the original history. As far as the steel output is only pitiful 10,000 tons, and the scale is less than 10,000 tons at the least, it is really helpless.

During the entire period of the Republic of China, more than 2,000 mountain guns were built in major manufacturing bureaus across the country, mainly 75mm mountain guns. A total of more than 500 75-mm and 88-mm field guns were built. The howitzers with a caliber of more than 100 mm were all produced in the Northeast, with more than 300 pieces, and even 21 howitzers of 150 mm were produced before 918, but they all became trophies of the Japanese themselves.

When Northeast China, Shanxi, Shanghai, Nanjing, and other places were occupied by devils, it was no longer easy for the central government close to Chongqing to maintain the production of light weapons, and how could it produce artillery on a large scale?

In this way, when the weapons accumulated in the previous period are almost consumed, the central army will no longer be able to fight with the devils on a large scale. Occasionally, when facing devils, you can only use death to fight the devil's cannonballs.

This obviously does not include the vanguard army, not to mention the heavy artillery positions that the vanguard army makes the devils helpless, but it is said that rocket artillery can also make the devils change their face.

However, the price behind this is to burn a lot of money.

A German-made 150 mm artillery shell costs about $50, and although the cost of a rocket shell is lower than that of artillery, the price of a rocket is higher than that of an artillery shell. A Katyusha went out 16 rounds in the blink of an eye, and a thousand yuan was gone, a typical waste of money. At the beginning, the vanguard army could not move one or two hundred Katyusha at every turn, and in a few seconds, more than 100,000 US dollars disappeared with the smoke of gunpowder and the earth-shattering roar.

The results are outstanding, but the cost is greater. Just like the day himself has already obtained the relevant information at this time, he is also looking forward to the money and sighing. Not to mention, the central army, which has a deflated money bag and does not have enough military salaries.

Even if the vanguard army did not have the cheap supply of the base, Meng Xiang would not dare to be so big. And the weapons that are actually produced are actually paid for.

Let Meng Xiang be cautious and cautious. Therefore, the heavy weapons program part of the Chi Lao Project is only research, not research and development like the nine light weapons.

The base had just been upgraded to the third level, and it took half a year for researchers to come into contact with post-World War II weapons. Small arms are well adjusted, but for heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks, there are too many things involved to be rushed into production.

However, this does not prevent Meng Xiang from exhibiting with the help of base products to show the strength of the vanguard army.

Some of the previous cooperation projects with the Germans were not revealed because they involved some secrets, and some people also took into account the copycat company. However, this time, Meng Xiang put out some more new weapons. These weapons are intended to be reserved for their own use, not for the purpose of an arms deal.

It didn't take too much, just some selective howitzers and anti-aircraft guns made the observer group feel emotional. Meng Xiang also immediately dispatched two armies to arrange an exercise to leave an explanation for the Central Observation Group that had not caught up with the actual combat observation.

"Wonderful!" Qiu Qingquan watched the majestic Tiger tank on the exercise ground drive past the water ripples on the vibrating table, and couldn't help but itch, "It's a pity that I didn't see the actual battle. ”

"This time the army participating in the battle needs to rest for a while!" Fan Chong explained, of course, there was still a word in his heart that he had not said in his heart, the vanguard army was about to stage a large-scale battle again. However, it is inconvenient to disclose these things for the time being.

"Actual combat? Isn't there fighting again in Europe? Xie Chengrui next to him said with a smile.! ~!
