PS: First of all, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in the number of chapters a few days ago, and I will correct it in the future

About this Type 67 heavy machine gun...... It should be 67-1 to be exact.

The so-called Type 67-1 is the improved Type 67...... In fact, it is easy to know the time of development of China's weapons and equipment, for example, the Type 67 was designed and finalized in 67 years, and it will be equipped with troops in 70 years.

But......

Because the design and production of this Type 67 were all over the course of ten years...... As a result, there is a very serious quality problem, the main disadvantage is that after a period of time, due to the wear of the buffer, the gap becomes larger, the projectile walking area is also significantly increased, and the more serious is that the machine gun is prone to jamming and causing an explosion accident when firing continuously.

As you can imagine...... A heavy machine gun, which is used for fire cover, tends to jam and explode when firing continuously...... Then this heavy machine gun will definitely not be welcomed by the soldiers on the battlefield, so in the counterattack against Vietnam, the soldiers generally used the more backward Type 57 heavy machine gun, although the Type 57 heavy machine gun is 10 kg heavier than the Type 67.

But this Type 67-1 is different from Type 67...... Since the self-defense counterattack, our army has realized the extremely serious negative impact of backward equipment and shoddy manufacturing on the troops, so it has carried out comprehensive improvements and upgrades in weapons and equipment, and the Type 67-1 heavy machine gun is the product of improvement.

It's obvious...... It has eradicated the problem of jamming, and it has also greatly improved the shooting accuracy, so it naturally became our choice.

It is worth mentioning ...... This Type 67-1 was only completed this year, and it has not even had time to equip the troops.

Of course, this point is stained with Li Li's light...... When she brought this machine gun to our unit for the soldiers to try out. I couldn't help but sigh: "This shot came at the right time!" ”

Li Li couldn't help but glance at me: "Do you think it wasn't for me...... Can you get this gun in time? ”

"What do you mean?" I said, "Isn't our synthesis camp here to be guinea pigs for you?" ”

"That's because I know you're on a mission right away!" Li Li said: "Only a dozen of these guns have been produced so far. According to the original procedure...... It will be at least a few more months before I can give you a try! Are you in a hurry? ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod at Li Li in gratitude. But then he asked strangely, "How do you know that we will have a mission soon?" ”

"You think I'm a fool?" Li Li said angrily: "If it weren't for the task...... Can you use such desperate training and desperate elimination? And all running in the mountains? ”

After a pause, Li Li continued: "I guess...... Your next mission will definitely be to fight in the jungle, so this Type 67-1 should be useful, so I asked for a favor to find an excuse to get it in advance! ”

"I didn't expect you to be so careful!" Li Li's words surprised me a little, originally I thought she was a rough person.

"I'm a ...... for a purpose"

"For what purpose?"

Li Li smiled evilly and said, "You belong to me these few nights!" No problem......"

I only smiled wryly when I heard this...... What is this, it makes me look like it's all for sale...... But it seems that this business is still quite cost-effective.

So the Type 67-1 heavy machine gun was added to the equipment of the secret service company.

Needless to say, the equipment of the sniper company is, of course, a combination of SVD and AK74...... It's just that during training, I assigned the sniper team more to the agent company to train together. The purpose of this is obvious...... Agent companies often need snipers to provide cover and provide enemy intelligence in real time.

The mortar company uses light mortars of 60 mm and 80 mm calibers...... This is Chen Qiaoqiao's suggestion, according to her words: "The advantage of heavy mortars is that they have a long range and large firepower, but they rarely need to attack targets so far away in mountainous areas, and they do not need so much firepower for strong fortifications...... But the disadvantages are very obvious, the mobility of heavy mortars is not good, the rugged mountains are not convenient for setting up guns, and the number of shells that can be carried is also small! ”

When I think about it, it's really ...... If the caliber is large, the shells will naturally be heavier, and the heavier shells mean that the same capacity can carry fewer shells, so the firepower sustainability will be less.

So didn't think much about it. The mortars were replaced with 60 and 82 guns.

As a result, our army has a combination of light and heavy machine guns, SVD and AK74 in terms of guns, which are long and near, strong and weak firepower, and high and low accuracy, and in artillery from far to near, there are 82 guns, 60 guns, rocket launchers, and gun-fired grenades.

This is how a unit matches in terms of firepower...... From the combination of firepower of a detachment. It is often possible to see what kind of terrain this unit is more suitable for fighting in or what kind of mission it is going to accomplish. For example, these weapons used by our army...... At first glance, it is clear that it is mainly aimed at infantry, and in order to facilitate maneuvering.

The reason is simple, we lack anti-tank weapons in these equipment...... If such a combination of firepower is used in plain warfare, it is tantamount to seeking death...... Several enemy tanks were fired at us from a distance, and we had no power to fight back.

But then again...... We're going to Afghanistan in the future, and we're going to fight guerrillas, so it's really not necessary to carry a heavy and one-shot, and it's also a hand-guided anti-tank missile.

The next period of time is for the redressed soldiers to undergo the necessary training in the mountains, so that they can familiarize themselves with the equipment and the coordination between the various arms...... I don't need to ask about these trainings, Scar, Chen Qiaoqiao and the staff officers will naturally arrange all this properly.

All I have to do is wait for news from the Afghanistan mission.

Finally, more than a month later, Commander Zhang secretly called me to the headquarters......

"There's news from Pakistan!" Commander Zhang put a document bag in front of me: "Because of the limited time, the delegation only brought back the topographical information along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, and at the same time, we also took this time to negotiate with the Pakistani side, and the Pakistani side is very supportive of our assistance to Afghanistan and promised to do everything possible to assist us in our work!" ”

"Hmm!" Listening to Commander Zhang's words, I realized that Commander Zhang was not idle during this time.

But then again...... It would be too simple to obtain Pakistan's consent, not to mention that China and Pakistan are friendly countries...... This friendship is not an ordinary level of friendship, and during the earthquake in modern China, Pakistan, a poor country, even used its military reserves to donate all its tents to China.

On the other hand...... When we support Afghanistan, we are also supporting Pakistan...... The reason is simple, the purpose of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is not just for Afghanistan, but also for the purpose of reaching the sea......

If you look at the Shijie map, you can see that the geographical conditions of the Soviet Union are actually very similar to China's, that is, there are few coastal exits and they are easily blocked, and the Bering Strait is connected to Japan by the American Arras...... It's hard to get to the Pacific Ocean.

So the Soviet Union hoped to open a passage from the interior to oil-rich Africa...... The route is to occupy Afghanistan, a landlocked country, and then to occupy Pakistan or Iran...... You have access to the Arabian Sea.

It is precisely because of this that the Soviet Union has to work hard in the barren land of Afghanistan for decades, but the Soviet Union is also smart and other countries are not stupid...... As soon as the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan certainly understood what it was thinking, which means that the next attack of the Soviet Union is likely to be one of these two countries......

Now China wants to help Afghanistan...... Can Pakistan disagree?

"But the battle plan is a little different from before!" Commander Zhang said as he spread out a map in front of me: "Because of the relationship of interests...... Pakistan's borders have always been open, which has led to an influx of Afghan refugees, including guerrillas who have been encircled by Soviet troops......"

"Oh!" When I heard this, I understood that Pakistan is supporting Afghanistan in another way...... It clearly did not dare to oppose the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union had nothing to say when it opened its borders...... Sheltering refugees, also out of humanitarianism!

So the guerrillas were protected in Pakistan...... And those refugees, a whole bunch of refugees who have been taken out of their homes and are homeless, and who have nothing to do and need to live...... Naturally, it became a huge source of guerrillas!

"According to this situation...... Commander Zhang continued, "we discussed it carefully, and felt that we should not enter Afghanistan for the first time, at this time it is too conspicuous for a force to directly enter Afghanistan to fight the Soviet army, and it is difficult for a team of 500 people to play a decisive role in Afghanistan, and it is even very likely that it will be destroyed by the enemy before it can be used...... On the other hand, if we establish a base on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to provide the necessary training and assistance to the Afghan guerrillas, this includes the training and arming of the refugees. Then the Afghan guerrillas will continue to grow, and we can achieve our goals with minimal cost! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, this plan is really good, on the one hand, we can try not to clash with the Soviet army...... On the other hand, this kind of struggle is also long-term and sustainable, unlike our 500 people who are directly sent over and have one less casualty.

Merely...... How does this sound a bit familiar...... The next second I suddenly remembered: Isn't that what Americans in history did?!

"In addition......" At this time, Commander Zhang added: "I also want to remind you...... The United States is also interested in this program, so it ...... When you set up a base in Pakistan, you are likely to come across a group of advisers sent by the United States! I think you know what to do! (To be continued......)
