Red Alert 1895

Chapter 461: Army Trimmer (Part 1)

When Wang Guorui took out this new Chinese gun family rifle and general-purpose machine gun and showed it to the officers, the officers obviously couldn't put it down. Because this firearm is not only powerful, but also designed by his own people, this feeling is not ordinary. Any soldier hopes to use the weapons produced in his own country. This is not only related to the logistics security of national weapons, but also a matter of personal pride. Taiwan has always used foreign weapons before. The rifles used German Mauser rifles, while the machine guns used Maxine. As for the grenadier and the Sten submachine gun, they were designed by themselves. However, the rifles mainly used by the army at present are all foreign products, which makes many officers uncomfortable. Now that he has finally designed his own rifle, it is obviously very good.

"Master Wang, this is great. I didn't expect this rifle to be semi-automatic. You can continue to shoot without pulling the bolt after firing a shot. Even if the speed switch is removed, it can be used as a submachine gun. Use it!" Hu Wei said.

And Zhao Xi, the commander of the Taiwan theater, immediately said: "No, no, after removing the speed machine, not only is it not a submachine gun, it should be called an automatic rifle. Although our current Sten submachine gun looks like it can fire continuously, it is actually This Sten submachine gun uses pistol bullets, so the range of pistol bullets is too short. The effective range of pistol bullets is only 50 meters, and every time you want to suppress the enemy, you must let the soldiers charge in front, otherwise there is no way to suppress the enemy .And with this automatic rifle, the soldier can completely suppress the enemy. As long as the speed machine is dismantled, this can completely solve the problem.”

However, Li Fusheng, director of the General Office of the Military Commission, immediately said: "No, no, haven't you heard? Lord Wang requires strict control over soldiers not to allow them to remove the speed machine casually. Only with the permission of the squad leader can the speed machine be removed. Because once If you use an automatic rifle, then I am afraid that the consumption of bullets will be a huge amount, and our transportation capacity will not be able to keep up. Once the soldiers develop the bad habit of wasting bullets, then we will be very terrible. Bullets cannot be wasted, especially It’s because our current production capacity can’t keep up. Also, our transportation capacity can’t keep up. Our transportation capacity is not enough to transport bullets to the front line in a timely and effective manner. If we don’t save some bullets in the front line, I’m afraid we will also There will be heavy losses. A gun without bullets is worse than a knife!"

but. Although there are various shortcomings, everyone still agrees with it very much, because this is a rifle designed by ourselves. If there is no accident in the future, the army will gradually replace these self-designed rifles. They will adjust the army.

"Everyone, now that we have designed this rifle, it will soon be mass-produced. And we will equip the army with these new weapons in large quantities. We have completely independent intellectual property rights for these weapons. Don't worry about being controlled by foreigners. And the parameters of all aspects are obviously better than those rifles specially designed for Westerners, which is more suitable for the physique of our Easterners. Not only will the power of the bullet not become smaller, but it will be braked by the bullet The ability is very good, so the tumbling caused by it is very powerful. Therefore, it is planned to fully equip our troops with these weapons. What do you think?" Wang Guorui asked.

"No problem, I have no opinion, I think our soldiers will like this weapon very much!" Zhao Xi said immediately.

"Yes. As long as there are no serious quality problems, the army will definitely like these weapons very much. I think we can let soldiers use these weapons next, and then use our own weapons to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so that their morale will be certain It will be even higher." Li Fusheng also replied.

Everyone also expressed their agreement, because then everyone recognized the importance of these weapons, and the power of the weapons is also good. As long as these weapons can be equipped in the hands of soldiers. The soldier's combat effectiveness will be greater, and then the enemy will be killed more powerfully.

"However. After being equipped with these weapons, our army establishment must be fine-tuned to a certain extent. If we do not make fine-tuning, then we will definitely not be qualified for the next military duties. Therefore, I decided to discuss the fine-tuning of the army, especially It is the fine-tuning of the bottom-level organization. First of all, we have this general-purpose machine gun, and we can put the machine gun down to the platoon level, so that each platoon adds a machine gun squad and uses two general-purpose machine guns, which strengthens the firepower advantage of the bottom-level army.” Kingdom Ray said.

Generally speaking, according to the standards of later generations, there should be at least two machine guns in a class, that is, there should be two machine guns in a class of ten people. But Wang Guorui can't do this, let alone whether the army of this era needs such "luxury", even Wang Guorui is unwilling to spend this unjustified money. Even if Wang Guorui was willing to spend this unjustified money, he couldn't transport the bullets after he bought them! To give soldiers such a luxury of two machine guns per squad when transport capacity is insufficient is simply insane. So at present, Taiwan's army also said to set up a machine gun squad in the infantry platoon. Such a platoon has two machine guns, which is the only one in the world.

At present, although the use of machine guns has been increased all over the world, even rich countries such as Britain, France and the United States have begun to equip a large number of submachine guns. Submachine guns are no longer rare weapons because of Wang Guorui's butterfly effect. All countries with a little money have also begun to equip submachine guns so that they can obtain additional firepower. As for the old Russians, it doesn't matter if this is not mentioned, their infantry can't afford a rifle, and as for the submachine gun, I'm afraid only the Tsar's Guards can use it.

But when someone used a submachine gun, I immediately used a light machine gun. This level has really improved by more than one step! Therefore, maintaining a strong firepower is the basis for maintaining a strong Taiwan army. At present, the Taiwanese army also relies on weapons to win, but there will be no problems. In this era, the competition is about weapons, not personal willpower. So the human body is nothing before steel and fire. With these weapons, you must rely on weapons!

"Two machine guns in a row, this class is really great." "Yes! There are two machine guns, and there are semi-automatic rifles used by infantry. The firepower at the bottom has increased by more than five times!" "Yes Ah! The firepower has increased so much, it can be said that it is invincible." "Whoever dares to bully us, we will deal with him!"

All these officers were extremely excited. Foreigners have always used their superior weapons to bully the squadron. Now that they finally have more powerful weapons, they can completely bully the gringos. This feeling is really refreshing. So everyone started talking about it.

"Okay, since the firepower at the bottom is so strong, we can organize the supporting firepower. I plan to cancel the large-scale machine gun unit organization of the machine gun battalion. In the future, the infantry division can consider canceling the machine gun battalion as appropriate. , and then use the soldiers elsewhere."

"Also, we have integrated the machine gun company and artillery company under each infantry battalion into a new machine gun company. The machine gun company has two mortar platoons and two machine gun platoons. However, here The machine gun squad uses the 11mm Maxine large-caliber heavy machine gun. In the future, this heavy machine gun will be responsible for attacking the enemy's equipment, as well as light bunkers, and provide long-range cover. Generally, it will not be used to attack the enemy's infantry Suppressed. Their responsibilities will undergo a series of adjustments, allowing them to train well and change their combat thinking before they can adapt to their new responsibilities."

"And the machine gun platoon and artillery platoon under each infantry company will also be combined into a new machine gun platoon~www.readwn.com~ consisting of two machine gun squads and two mortar squads respectively. The squad uses a general-purpose machine gun and is equipped with a tripod, which is used to carry out short-range fire support for the troops and shock attacks to suppress the enemy's vital forces."

Wang Guorui planned to cancel the organization of the machine gun battalion. In the future, no army would use such a large machine gun battalion. Because the firepower of the soldiers at the bottom is already strong enough, there is no need to use such too many machine guns. The various units below will also undertake fire support tasks, and the machine gun company and artillery will be combined to reduce their establishment. After all, the firepower at the bottom is already strong enough, there is no need for them to continue to have so much support firepower. If you continue to maintain such a fierce firepower, it will not be necessary at all. According to the experience of later generations, the firepower at the bottom level is sufficient, and these combat firepower support troops are often not needed. The low-level soldiers that should be solved have all been solved, and there is no need for fire support from the superior troops. So since they are not needed, what are they doing to support them? Hurry up and abolish the establishment and let them transfer to other troops. The army is definitely not a place to live on empty pay for the elderly. Everyone must have his own role, otherwise it would be okay to let them eat empty pay here?

"Master Wang, I want to say something next. Since our firepower is so powerful, should our special forces still exist? It seems that our special forces are useless. These troops have enough firepower to dream of, and they have general What is the use of our special forces as a light fire support weapon like a machine gun?" Hu Wei asked. (to be continued)
