Chapter 139: Pushing the Boat with the Current
Lu Yuan waited all night, but the next day he didn't see any big people as Luca said, and the one who was brought to the manor by Luca was still the SS lieutenant named Hoffman. Unlike yesterday, Hoffman, who came to the manor again, came with a box of ammunition, "Lu, I'm here today to test your rifle, oh, I even brought ammunition, the Japanese Yusaka rifle cartridge is really hard to find." Hoffman was able to find a whole box of Tomosaka rifle cartridges, which somewhat surprised Lu Yuan, but after hearing Luca say that these ammunition were provided by the Japanese Embassy in Berlin, Lu Yuan's heart instantly regained his calm.
"Okay, you can test it casually, I also brought three spare barrels with me this time." Lu Yuan smiled and handed over the gun box that Schuhman took downstairs to Hoffman, and emphasized that the barrel of this modified rifle can be changed at any time. Hoffman's ecstasy made Lu Yuan realize that this thing was obviously a technical officer, and it was no wonder that he would show such interest in his modified rifle, which was like a peerless swordsman meeting a rare sword.
"Luca, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to have some big names come to the manor? Why am I still seeing you and Lieutenant Hoffman? When Hoffman tried to change the barrel, Lu Yuan turned his face to Luca and asked. Luca, I've come to Berlin to ask for help, but I'm also here to help you. As a result, I was just under house arrest in this manor, and I couldn't do anything. If you don't want to, I mean if you don't want to help me, then I can go back to China. ”
Lu Yuan's attitude was somewhat out of Luca's expectations, and there was a discussion in the upper echelons of the SS on how to deal with Lu Yuan. Let's not talk about the shooting drawings and data of the Garand rifle provided by Lu Yuan earlier, let's just say that the weapon drawings that Lu Yuan brought to Berlin this time are also bound to be obtained by the SS. It's just that they haven't figured out whether to work with Lu Yuan or just the drawings, after all, Lu Yuan is too young.
"Lu, don't worry, this matter is being discussed within our Party Guard, and it is not what we want to do to you, you can rest assured of this." Lukka was speechless, so he could only fight with Lu Yuan, trying to persuade Lu Yuan to dispel the idea of returning to China immediately. "It's better to do this, if you need any help, you can tell me now, as long as our party guards can help you, they will do their best to help you."
Luca's words made Lu Yuan secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart, Master, I have been waiting for you, Lu Yuan immediately pointed to the modified rifle that Hoffman was trying to disassemble, and said to Luka. "This rifle was modified by myself in the basement of my house when I was in Shanghai, and due to the constraints of materials and processing machinery, the performance of this rifle is actually not very good. Your German military industry is considered to be one of the leading in the world, and the main purpose of my visit to Germany this time is to recreate such a rifle with the best materials and equipment. ”
Lukka was relieved when she heard Lu Yuan's words, she originally thought that Lu Yuan suddenly turned his face and wanted to use those weapon drawings to take the opportunity to blackmail herself, but after Lu Yuan said his request, Luka found that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake. "Lu, there's no problem with this, I can promise you now. As long as it is the material you need, our party will provide it, and even if we don't have it, the SS will find a way to find it for you. ”
In Luca's opinion, the key to making a rifle is nothing more than steel, and the relationship between Krupp and the SS is not difficult at all. Lu Yuan and the two of them spoke, Hoffman had already disassembled the modified rifle twice in a row and then reassembled it, and after being familiar with the structure of the modified rifle, Hoffman couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"Lu, you are such a genius, I didn't expect such a brilliant idea in the world." Hoffman praised Lu Yuan without words, and his hands were already loading the empty magazine. After loading three spare magazines in a row, Hoffman walked out of the villa with a rifle and magazine, and Lu Yuan and Luka also got up and followed. On the lawn outside the villa, I don't know when a few wooden gun targets have been erected, Lu Yuan saw that these wooden gun targets were placed at a distance of 50 meters, 100 meters and 150 meters.
"Lieutenant Hoffman, my rifle can be equipped with a scope, these targets may be a little close, you can try to ask them to swing the target to a distance of 300 meters." After seeing the location of those targets, Lu Yuan suggested to Hoffman, who half-believed Lu Yuan's instructions, took out the scope from the gun box and installed it on the gun, but in this way, the shape of this rifle was even more peculiar.
"Pop" Hoffman tried to shoot at the target 50 meters away, and although the Tomosaka rifle with a straight trajectory was on target, it only had 9 rings. "Bang" "Bang"..., Hoffman, who does not believe in evil, fired several more shots in succession, although all the bullets were successfully targeted, but the ring number was not very ideal. Lu Yuan, who was holding back a smile, had to walk over and take the rifle back from Hoffman's hand, and after looking at the ruler on the rifle, Lu Yuan grinned even more.
Lu Yuan's laughter made Hoffman even more annoyed, and under Luca's comfort and persuasion, Hoffman had to viciously ask Lu Yuan to demonstrate it in person. "Okay, but you'll have to wait, I'm going to change my clothes first, and there's no way to show you in a suit." Lu Yuanzhi did not refuse Hoffman's request, but returned to the villa with some eagerness to change his clothes, and also took out some of the equipment he brought.
Lu Yuan, who took off his suit, changed into a pair of slightly loose and wearable pants, put on a carrying gear like a vest directly over the black sweater on his upper body, and put on high-top military boots on his feet. "This is my own design of individual equipment, whether it is field or urban combat, ammunition and some equipment can be carried directly, so that it saves the trouble of carrying a backpack to fight, at least in urban combat, which will greatly reduce the burden on soldiers." Lu Yuan inserted the magazine into the magazine on his chest, and at the same time carefully explained to Luka and Hoffman.
Lu Yuan inserted the four spare magazines into the magazine on his chest, and inserted the M1911 pistol diagonally in front of him, and then took out a few grenades to hang on the belt around his waist, plus the pistol magazines and short knives on the leg straps on both sides, Lu Yuan's body obviously attracted the attention of everyone present. Hoffman even said to himself, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it to be like this." ”
Lu Yuan took off the original magazine of the rifle, loaded a new magazine, pulled the bolt with a click, and then turned to Hoffman and said, "Look, I'm going to start." As soon as the words fell, Lu Yuan, who had already hung the rifle on the gun belt, stepped forward in small steps, "pop" and "pop" ......, Lu Yuan fired several two shots in a row, and several gun targets that had moved back to a hundred meters away successively erected small green flags representing the target.
The Hoffman people who were watching the battle couldn't help but applaud secretly, and then looked at Lu Yuan, but they didn't mean to stop at all, and continued to move forward with his rifle in his strange posture. "Papa" "Papa" ......, accompanied by a very rhythmic gunshot, the small green flag representing the target appeared continuously, and the target that had moved back to 300 meters also erected the green flag. Lu Yuan fired two shots in a row every time, so he quickly ran out of all the bullets in the magazine, and when Lu Yuan's empty gun hung up, two gun targets were suddenly erected not far from his side.
Hoffman and the others thought that Lu Yuan would stop on the spot to change the magazine, but when they saw that Lu Yuan was just turning around, he had already thrown the rifle hanging on the belt behind him. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan held a pistol obliquely stuck in his chest, "pop" and "pop" were two consecutive shots, and the two targets that suddenly appeared on Lu Yuan's side also showed green flags one after another, and the sudden attack by the SS soldiers under Hoffman did not make Lu Yuan panic again.
Lu Yuan's combination of rifle and pistol shooting method has actually completely subverted Hoffman's original cognition, and before today, they could not think of such a shooting method. The gun target in the distance was quickly recovered, and after seeing the traces on the gun target, Hoffman had to admit that he consciously underestimated Lu Yuan. Even within the SS, there are not many people who have the same marksmanship as Lu Yuan, not to mention that Lu Yuan is only 20 years old.
Lu Yuan's on-the-spot demonstration made the originally arrogant Hoffman honest, and Lu Yuan did not hide his secrets, and spent the whole day instructing Hoffman and his SS soldiers, before dark, Hoffman had roughly mastered Lu Yuan's way of shooting. "Lu, I want to know, is there a possibility of mass production of this automatic rifle you designed?" At dinner, Hoffman asked about something he was interested in, and Lukka pricked up his ears.
"Of course you can, that's one of the main reasons why I came to Germany, in fact, I also brought with me the design drawings of another Xinneng better automatic rifle, this new automatic rifle and Mauser rifle are of the same caliber, which is very suitable for you Germans." Lu Yuan secretly praised Hoffman in his heart that he was really a good teammate, if it weren't for the topic that Hoffman brought up, he might not have been able to take out the design drawings of the Bayi rifle that he had already drawn. Now with the assist of Hoffmann, a veteran boaster, the rest of the matter will be logical, and the plan will never cause the Germans to dig deeper.
