After visiting these self-designed automatic rifles and general-purpose machine guns. After getting acquainted with the Tokarev 33 pistol that Jiangbei had just transported, Yang Zhen hung up the special bullet belt specially produced for that kind of automatic rifle, pinned the leg cover of the pistol he had just produced to his leg, and inserted the pistol he was familiar with diagonally. Picking up the 39-year-old version of the 81-bar rifle.

Just when Zhang Zhenhua, Liu Yandong, Li Mingrui, and Dong Ping, who were present, didn't know what Yang Zhen was going to do in such a dress, he had already come to a wonderful tactical exercise according to the memory of later generations, including shooting drills during the exercise, and gave Li Mingrui and Dong Ping a vivid lesson in what is called real special forces tactics.

Looking at Yang Zhen's accurate rifle pistol firing in the movement, as well as the dazzling tactical movements, Zhang Zhenhua and Liu Yandong didn't care, but Li Mingrui and Dong Ping, who were half experts, were dumbfounded. They finally figured out why the commander always called them half a bottle of water.

Although it is one thing that his own weapons are not suitable for these tactical applications, the accuracy of his shooting on the march and the use of the two weapons are really too far from the same as his own reconnaissance battalion.

Yang Zhen's wonderful tactical drills made them know for the first time that pistols can still be used in this way, and this kind of magazine, known as an automatic rifle, can also be replaced with one hand. It turns out that the bullet does not have to be loaded to pull the bolt, and the bullet can also be loaded by using the inertia of the gun.

After completing the tactical drill, Yang Zhen took off the bullet belt on his body, threw the rifle in his hand back into Li Mingrui's hand, and said to the two: "Do you see what I did clearly?" I told you before that this automatic rifle was designed specifically for your reconnaissance battalion. ”

"Our troops are currently unable to fully equip the ammunition consumption of this weapon, so the limited equipment produced is only available to your reconnaissance battalion. This combat pistol was also imported specifically for you to use as a scout when you need accurate rapid-fire at close range. ”

"These weapons are hard-won and cost a lot of money. Therefore, you should cherish and master and use these equipment to the best of your ability. Form shì nervous, I can only give you seven days. You must be proficient in seven days. Although weapons may not necessarily be produced, it is better to have personnel waiting for equipment than equipment to wait for personnel. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen took off the pistol leg sleeve tied to his leg and threw it to Dong Ping along with the pistol inside: "As for this kind of pistol sleeve, it is not necessary to tie it to the leg. It's just that you can use it as quickly as possible. You can also see the speed at which I draw my gun, and you should also practice this technique in a short period of time. Because many times, the speed of drawing a gun directly determines whether you can survive or not. ”

Dong Ping took the holster and pulled out the pistol inside, tested the feel, and said with a bitter face after firing two more magazine bullets: "Commander, this pistol has a simple structure and reliable action, but its magazine load is only eight rounds, and the 20 rounds of ammunition we are accustomed to using is not comparable in terms of firepower, and the range of 50 meters cannot be compared with the fast and slow machine." ”

"And the rate of fire in close combat is even more different. Look at this kind of pistol, we already have a fast and slow machine, is it still necessary to equip it? It is better to equip this pistol with cadres above the battalion level as a self-defense pistol, and I think it is better. There is also the 7.62mm pistol bullet used by this gun, which is not the same as the 7.63 bullet used by our fast and slow machine. ”

"Our individual soldier has a fast and slow machine, plus other weapons and ammunition, the load is already very heavy, is there no need to equip this kind of pistol, or is it better to continue to equip the fast and slow machine?" Dong Ping's meaning is obvious, for this kind of pistol with a rate of fire that is not comparable to the fast and slow machine, and the reload is even less than the pistol.

Yang Zhen shook his head as this guy made it clear that he didn't want it. He did not explain, but told Dong Ping with his actions that the benefits of this gun were there.

Yang Zhen took out a twenty-round magazine of fast and slow machines from the guards beside him, unloaded the bullets inside, and directly loaded them into an empty magazine of Tokarev's pistol that Dong Ping had just run out of bullets, and the loading was fired directly. And there is no significant reduction in accuracy.

After emptying a magazine, Yang Zhen threw the pistol in his hand back to Dong Ping and said: "The 7.62mm Tokarev bullet used in this pistol itself is improved from the Mauser 7.63mm bullet, and it can be used in a completely common way. This bullet inherited the advantages of the Mauser pistol bullet with high penetration, but the chamber pressure was slightly lower and the accuracy was slightly worse. But within the effective range of fifty meters, the accuracy is still sufficient. ”

"The reason why I got you this relatively good combat pistol is specifically for the shortcomings of the Mauser pistol, and the need for pistols in your troops. Although the Mauser pistol has high accuracy and firepower far exceeds that of ordinary pistols, it can be a small carbine when attached to the holster. However, when it fires continuously, the muzzle jumps up and down, and the weight is also on the high side. ”

"We are already equipped with a large number of submachine guns, and with the fact that this automatic rifle has been put into production, the situation of poor melee firepower has changed. Weapons such as fast and slow machines that cannot be high or low are no longer useful, and can be completely eliminated. ”

"Although the accuracy of the fast and slow machine is also good, its rapid-fire aspect can be completely replaced by automatic rifles, and the accuracy of continuous burst fire cannot be completely compared with this pistol. This pistol is intended for you when you need to shoot continuously in close combat. In this case, the advantages of fast and slow machines have become disadvantages.

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered the old-timers who had used these two weapons successively in later generations, their love for fast and slow machines, and their obviously disagreeable evaluation of the Soviet-made Tokarev pistol. After all, Dong Ping is a long-term user, and he still has a deep understanding of which weapon is more suitable for him.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, this pistol will still be allocated to you according to the number of people." As for which one to use in battle, you decide for yourselves. But you've seen the tactical moves I just made, do you think it's appropriate to use a weapon with poor continuous firing accuracy like a fast and slow machine in that tactical mode? ”

Yang Zhen's voice fell, and Dong Ping, who was a little dissatisfied with this pistol just now, was silent. For the advantages and disadvantages of fast and slow machines, he and Li Mingrui both understand. This short, lean weapon is perfect for melee combat when you need a lot of firepower. This is also the reason for the large amount of equipment of the Chinese army.

However, when continuous high-precision burst fire is required in close combat, the uncontrollable upward jump of the muzzle has become the biggest disadvantage of this weapon. Unless the holster is attached and used against the shoulder, even the most experienced veteran can hit the target when firing rapidly, but the second bullet will not know where it will go.

The combat pistol that the commander had just practiced was accurate and rapid-fire during the march, which was simply impossible for fast and slow machines. Even a veteran who has been using it for a long time can't do it. It's not that the accuracy of the single shot of the fast and slow machine is not enough, nor that its firepower is not fierce enough, but that when it shoots continuously, the uncontrollable muzzle jump cannot guarantee the accuracy at all.

Those who so-called use fast and slow machines to shoot accurately are almost always shot when the rate of fire is not required. If it is required to ensure both the rate of fire and the accuracy, the fast and slow machine will not be able to do it at all, even if the experienced shooter cannot do it.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two of them after listening to their words, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Every weapon has its own necessity. But this necessity is based on the overall tactical requirements of an army. The fast and slow machine is powerful and the single-shot accuracy is also high, but why is there no army in the world except the Chinese army that uses it as standard equipment? ”

"For the European and American powers, their firepower was sufficient to avoid close combat, hand-to-hand combat, and mainly to kill and injure their opponents with ground-to-air firepower. Moreover, they have the ability to mass-produce submachine guns with a longer range than fast and slow machines, and even more melee firepower than it. No one uses such a high, low, and relatively cumbersome weapon, which is either high or low. ”

"And for the Chinese army, which is weak in firepower, melee combat is the best option to avoid the opponent's firepower superiority. Under the circumstance that submachine guns are expensive, and self-production cannot be guaranteed in terms of quantity or quality, especially the large amount of ammunition consumed, the fast and slow machine can spread as a weapon with a fast rate of fire. ”

"And for us now, there is almost no need to store this kind of weapon. Not only you, but also ordinary troops have begun to replace submachine guns on a large scale, and our melee firepower is no longer comparable only to the time when it was fast and slow. That is, with the advancement of our equipment, the obsolescence of such weapons is already inevitable. ”

Anyway, Yang Zhen didn't care about the two of them. He knows that the change of thinking and concept needs to be a process. It takes time for a person to give up their favorite weapon and switch to another weapon that is completely unfamiliar to them. In fact, Yang Zhen was also a little reluctant to withdraw from the army for all these well-made weapons that could almost be said to be works of art.

But he knew that as a large number of submachine guns with simpler structures and easier control were put into production and equipped with troops, it was inevitable that weapons with complex structures and muzzle jumps that would affect accuracy during continuous firing would be eliminated. Otherwise, there are so many countries in the world, why don't any of them use it as a standard weapon? Not even Germany, where it originates.

Leaving aside these two people who had been so partial to fast and slow machines that they didn't look at the advantages and disadvantages that they wanted to think about it, Yang Zhen turned around and picked up a combat crossbow made of stainless steel that was placed with the Deshka anti-aircraft machine gun and looked at it carefully. In the absence of a silent pistol, this relatively easy to produce, and silent hand crossbow, became an excellent weapon for sneak warfare.

Yang Zhen experimented with this kind of hand crossbow equipped with a special scope for the VP sniper rifle imported from Jiangbei, and felt that although it could not be compared with the hand crossbow used by his later generations due to the huge gap in production materials and technology, it also at least partially met his needs. At the very least, the basic accuracy and penetration are sufficient.

Speaking of the sight on this crossbow, it's a joke. The scope on this crossbow was removed from the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle imported by Yang Zhen. Only some of the sniper rifles offered by Gangbei are new products that use new PE sights. The rest are still old items that use VP sights, which have a great impact on reloading.

On the contrary, the extra part of the scope provided according to Yang Zhen's request is all the latest PE model. In order to prevent the old scope from affecting the loading of the sniper rifle, Yang Zhen used those imported scopes to modify the old goods according to the style of the new product. The dismantled scopes were used on these crossbows.

And it is obvious that Liu Yandong obviously worked hard in the production of these hand crossbows. Although the production of crossbow strings is due to the raw materials, there is still a gap in tension, but the production of crossbow arrows has really put in a lot of hard work. The power of the produced hand crossbow, which can penetrate a five-centimeter-thick pine plank at a distance of twenty meters, is now sufficient.

Yang Zhen couldn't put it down, and after fiddling with this kind of crossbow for a while, he said to Liu Yandong: "You have suffered a lot in the production of this kind of crossbow. This thing looks simple, but the craftsmanship is very demanding. Without a certain process, it may not be easy to produce qualified products. ”

In response to Yang Zhen's inquiry, Liu Yandong smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, you are really insightful. In order to produce qualified products, we have indeed suffered a lot. Lang took a lot of material, too. If it weren't for the fact that you'd only ask for a hundred, I'd have had to ask to stop producing it. ”

"To produce a crossbow of this kind, you need enough high-alloy steel to produce an automatic rifle. Based on the standard of 20 crossbows per crossbow, the production of only 2,000 crossbow arrows is enough to use half a ton of steel. And that's not even counting the effort required to make a crossbow string with the required tension. ”

Regarding Liu Yandong's complaints, Yang Zhen smiled: "Anyway, you still made it out, didn't you?" And these weapons, didn't you all come up with them? You can't be overrewarded for producing these excellent weapons. It's just that I, the commander, am also very poor and have nothing. I just want to give you some rewards, but I can't get them. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's praise, Liu Yandong smiled a little reservedly and said, "Commander, this is not my credit alone, it is the result of everyone's efforts day and night. I don't want this reward from the commander, I only have one request. Let's see if you can award medals, even if they are medals, to some of the meritorious personnel of the arsenal if they meet the regulations. ”

"You don't know, when some of our personnel went down to repair weapons, they were envious of the medals and medals on the chests of the soldiers. I also know that we can't compare with the soldiers who are on the front line, and the medals and medals of others are all exchanged for their lives. ”

"You also know that our conditions are difficult, and there is no way to compare what we eat and use compared to when we were in the Puppet Manchurian Arsenal. But everyone also knows that the army has done everything they can to take care of the arsenal. No one has thought about this material reward, but the spiritual reward should not be given. After all, it is still good for encouraging workers' enthusiasm for production. ”

Regarding Liu Yandong cautiously saying his thoughts, Yang Zhen laughed and said, "What is this?" I do not have the right to award high-level medals without the approval of the Standing Committee of the Military Region, but the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Third Class and the Red Banner Medal are still allowed. ”

"You take the time to make a report and hand it to Political Commissar Li, and I will go and talk to him there. You and the political commissar of your factory come up with a list of meritorious contributions, and I will ask the political commissar and the senior director to study it and solve it for you. However, there is one thing that this medal and medal should be tilted towards front-line workers and technicians. ”
