Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Chapter 291: 3 Mortars

Li Yan said: "Okay"

"We, the Red Army, lack weapons"

"Even if there are weapons, they are made in various countries."

"The bullets are also of different types, and some are not compatible."

"Despite all the problems with this rifle"

“But it is easy to produce and low cost”

"If we can make this rifle a standard rifle"

“It can greatly reduce the logistical pressure.”

"At the same time, it enhances the mobility of the troops"

Chu Ming smiled

Then he uncovered another piece of red cloth on the table.

A brand new K98 rifle

Sharp and angular appearance, shiny gun body, light texture

Coupled with the three-edged bayonet that radiates a cold and murderous aura, the soldier looks so majestic and domineering.

Before everyone was surprised

Chu Ming took a deep breath

He introduced it again: "This is the gun diagram we drew in Meishan according to the captain's drawing."

"Imitation of Germany's 98K"

"Total length 1107 mm, weight 3.9 kg, 5 rounds of ammunition, manual bolt action"

“We were in Meishan at that time”

“Because of limited conditions and technology”

"We can't produce 50A high-quality carbon structural steel"

"The 98K produced is prone to explosion and has a short service life."

"But with the participation of those German engineers"

"We can now produce small quantities of 50A high-quality carbon structural steel."

Li Yan's body was trembling

He did not hesitate to split up the Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade

The purpose is to make the troops elite

In particular, the training of sharpshooter troops not only takes time, but also consumes a lot of bullets.

The 98K that is now copied is the standard rifle that was equipped by the German army in 1935.

The bolt is simple and reliable, and the whole gun is strong and safe

The key is high shooting accuracy and a range of 800 meters.

This makes it easier to train elite troops.

This time, Leopard did not wait for Li Yan's order

Pick up the 98K rifle

"Pa" "Pa" "Pa"

Towards a humanoid target 100 meters away

Continuous shooting

Until all five bullets are fired

After a while

The target reporter shouted excitedly: "All five hits!"

"Hit the center of the eyebrows, throat, chest, and eyes respectively."

Leopard also said at this time: "Instructor"

"This 98K is better than the 98K used by our sniper team."

"Both precision and stability are strong"

Leopard's final conclusion

Li Yan praised: "Old squad leader Chu Ming"

"Your military-industrial base is doing well."

"I want to report to the government."

“Give you a reward”

Then Li Yan took the lead in applauding

One time

Thunderous applause

After a while

Chu Ming said: "Captain, don't be anxious."

“What you just saw was just an appetizer.”

“The feast is coming next”

talking

Chu Ming clapped his hands again

In the spotlight

The stonemason directed five soldiers to carry a large box and place it in front of the crowd.

The stonemason saluted Li Yan and said, "The commander of the artillery battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese Vanguard Team, the stonemason, reports to the captain."

Li Yan was stunned when he saw the stonemason

Uncertainly, he asked the old squad leader: "Is this a cannon?"

Everyone was shocked again

The old squad leader nodded and said, "Don't you know this?"

"Have we already built the cannon when we were in Shanghang?"

Li Yan shook his head and said: "You did say it was a cannon."

"But cannon testing is extremely rigorous."

“It will take a long time.”

“I didn’t expect you to finish so quickly.”

Without waiting for the old squad leader to answer

The stonemason laughed and said, "Captain, you don't know..."

"Our artillery battalion is testing data"

"We've been firing so many guns lately that we're almost sick of it."

Chu Ming directly retorted: "I said stonemason"

"You just said you vomited from sex."

"Why don't you tell me how many shells you fired during this period?"

"How much has the artillery battalion's combat effectiveness increased?"

"That's not very kind of you."

Gao Xuan said: "Stonemasons are not good people"

"You're taking advantage of others"

Gao Xuan grabbed Chu Ming's neck.

He smiled obscenely and said, "Old Chu"

"Next time you test the artillery, call us the Second Battalion."

"I'll get you some game then."

Su Shan said dissatisfiedly: "I said Lao Gao"

"You're not a good person either"

"And Chu Ming"

"You are a little forgetful of your roots, kid."

"You are from our 72nd Regiment."

"Such a good thing"

"Why don't you remember me?"

When the stonemason saw Gao Xuan, Su Shan threatened and bribed him.

He quickly said: "I'm talking about Lao Gao and Lao Su"

"Who dares to compete with me?"

"Look at me and him being anxious"

Zhao Wu's eyes turned and he said, "Old Chu..."

"Don't forget"

"You drank a lot of my wine in Shanghang."

"I won't make it difficult for you to test the cannon."

"But once these guns are produced, give us one battalion first."

Gao Xuan Su Shan The stonemason was stunned at first

Then they all looked at Zhao Wu with contempt.

Then they started fighting for the supply of artillery.

Li Yan, the old squad leader, smiled bitterly and shook his head as he looked at these funny guys.

Li Yan said: "Okay, okay."

"You all should calm down a bit"

"mason"

“Go and try it out.”

The stonemason nodded

No nonsense

Waved to the five people carrying the box

Five people opened the box

Begin to assemble the parts inside skillfully

Chu Ming introduced: "This is our captain from the United States"

"The drawings of the American M2 60MM light mortar brought back"

"Made"

"It weighs less than 20 kilograms, has a maximum range of 1800 meters, and can be equipped with high-explosive bombs, flares, and smoke bombs."

"It is a platoon-level mortar, 4 per platoon."

Less than two minutes

A mortar is assembled

Stonemason using telescope to calculate target position

Issue orders immediately

Position one aims and operates the steering mechanism, position four and position five install the explosive package and fuse it, position three delivers the shell, and position two operates the elevation mechanism and prepares to load the shell.

When the stonemason saw that everyone was ready

A command: "Release"

Loading shells at position two

I saw the shells arcing into the distance

"Boom" sound hits the target

This isn't over yet, the shooting continues.

Boom boom boom, the sound of cannonballs continued until the fifth box of cannonballs ran out.

The people watching couldn't close their mouths.

What kind of speed is this? Less than 20 rounds per minute.

What does such intensive artillery fire mean on the battlefield?

Everyone knows it very well

Before everyone had digested it, Wei Dali brought a group of people
