Rise From Eight Hundred

Of course, Tang Dao was extremely familiar with semi-automatic rifles, even if they were considered antiques for him who came from the future.

The so-called semi-automatic rifle refers to a rifle that can automatically complete loading, ejection, and reloading, but can only fire one round when the trigger is pulled.

The rate of fire of this kind of rifle is naturally much higher than that of a bolt-action rifle because it saves the time of pulling the bolt to load the bullet.

Compared with the bolt-action rifle, which is currently the main rifle equipped by the world's militaries, the semi-automatic rifle that has appeared and begun to be gradually equipped with troops has not yet formed an overwhelming replacement. That is because both rifles have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Bolt-action rifles have a slower rate of fire because their longer barrel length gives the bullet a faster muzzle velocity and a greater range. The semi-automatic rifle fires fast enough, but because of the faster firing rate, its gas guide system needs to be stronger. Due to current technology, the gas guide system can easily interfere with the stability of the barrel and gun, thus affecting shooting accuracy.

Without being tested in the war, most countries, such as Asian countries, still adopted bolt-action rifles with more stable performance as the army's standard rifle.

But the little butterfly from the future is very clear that the world war that is about to break out has proven that superior firepower is one of the key factors for soldiers to survive on the battlefield.

The confrontation between American cowboys and the Japanese on a small Pacific island fully proved that the bolt-action rifle will surely go into history.

The precise shooting skills that the Japanese are proud of have become a joke under the constant pull of the trigger by American cowboys. During the hedging process between the two sides, while the Japanese army shot one bullet to kill one of their opponents, the American cowboys had already pulled the trigger four or five times in succession. The dense flow of bullets knocked over the Japanese army who only had time to fire one shot. In the jungle two hundred meters away.

In the era of thermal weapons, fire coverage is king!

Bolt-action rifles are destined to be used only by a small number of snipers who require range and accuracy.

In China, the famous 56-and-a-half was even used in the military for decades. It was not until China's economy began to develop greatly that the entire military changed its uniforms that it completely withdrew from the stage of history.

In Tang Dao's mind, the semi-automatic rifle was the most suitable standard rifle for his Four Lines Regiment in this era.

Of course, semi-automatic rifles consume much more ammunition than bolt-action rifles. This may be the main reason why senior officials in China and Japan did not choose it as the main rifle of the army.

Fire coverage is great, but it must be backed up by strong enough logistical supplies.

At this time, the level of logistics supply between China and Japan is that the Chinese side is lying flat, while the Japanese appear to be much stronger than the Chinese, but compared to Western countries that have entered the mechanization era, they can only It’s hard to say in one word!

To put it bluntly, China is scum and Japan is scum!

Tang Dao also has to face this problem. If he wants the entire regiment to be equipped with semi-automatic rifles, guns second, he must first solve the problem of bullet production.

However, it cannot solve the whole country, and it must not be that difficult to solve the consumption of an infantry regiment.

The most important thing is to dare to think. If you don’t even dare to think, human civilization will still be drinking blood! Dare to daydream may be the most important difference between humans and other creatures.

The list of weapons is very long, and even more equipment is shipped out of the warehouse. It cannot be accepted in a short time. Moreover, Zhuang Shisan is responsible for this, Gong Shaoxun is responsible for coordination, and Tang Dao, the highest military officer, is responsible for the coordination. At best, there is a mascot on the side.

Tang Dao, who had smoked several cigarettes but had nothing to do, simply asked the lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the 662nd Regiment of the 49th Army who was accompanying him to try this semi-automatic rifle from the Czech Republic that was equipped in a small amount in the Northeastern Army.

Tang Dao really wanted to see how far this semi-automatic rifle was from his requirements. The 56-and-a-half he was familiar with was a good guy with an effective range of 400 meters, which was enough to compete with the 38-meter rifle.

Hearing that Tang Dao wanted to test the gun, the lieutenant colonel's regimental deputy did not dare to make the decision, so he quickly asked Tang Dao to wait while he asked the signal corpsman to ask for instructions from the regimental commander who had returned to the regiment headquarters.

After all, this is not an ordinary infantry regiment station. There are about 2,000 people guarding an arsenal that can be called a huge wealth. There are three infantry battalions, one guarding the interior of Dalinzhuang and two on the flanks of Dalinzhuang. If there is any trouble, the 662 regiment, which has long been authorized by the military, can take the initiative to attack.

This gun test was a trivial matter, but it had to be reported to the three infantry battalions who were on alert to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. This was not something he, the regimental deputy, could make the decision about.

Of course Tang Dao wouldn't be offended. Each army has its own actual situation and its own rules. Just follow the host.

Perhaps it was because the Four Elements regiment had previously treated people with courtesy and won a lot of favor from them. Tang Dao's request, which was not excessive but slightly troublesome, was quickly approved. The regiment leader named Colonel Gu even brought a security squad with him for this purpose. Waiting for Tang Dao in his designated area.

"Sorry! Commander Gu, Tang Dao has caused trouble for you again." Tang Dao actually had a good impression of this slightly arrogant but straightforward army colonel, and his words were naturally polite.

"Captain Tang, you're so polite. Although you and I belong to two armies, your regiment's reputation on the anti-Japanese battlefield is very well-known. Gu Mou has always admired it!" The colonel commander had a cold expression on his face, but he was equally polite to Tang Dao. Not disrespectful.

After saying that, he turned his eyes to the security squad behind Tang Dao and looked at the Qingyishui semi-automatic rifles carried on their backs. His eyes showed thoughts, "What do you think, Commander Tang?"

"Oh! I saw 150 semi-automatic rifles listed in the list. This kind of rifle is hard to come by. I am considering how to distribute this rifle among the units within my regiment to form the strongest combat power without wasting the performance of this rifle. So I brought a guard squad to try the rifle and see how they actually use it!" Tang Dao replied with a smile

"Well! Captain Tang's idea is very pragmatic. No matter how good the weapon is, it depends on how people actually use it!" Colonel Gu nodded in approval and suddenly changed the subject. "Captain Tang, I have heard of your Sihang Regiment for a long time. Sihang, Songjiang, and Guangde have annihilated countless enemies. It goes without saying that your regiment must have countless elites. The officers and soldiers of our regiment are always proud of it! I suddenly have an idea, but I don't know whether I should say it or not.'

"Captain Gu, please speak!" Tang Dao's eyes moved slightly, as if he already knew the little thoughts of the person in front of him.

As the saying goes, 'there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts', it is even more so in the military. Once you become famous, challenges will come one after another.

The colonel in front of him obviously also He had this in mind. His 662nd Regiment was the main infantry regiment of the 105th Division of the 49th Army. It had made outstanding achievements in the defense of the Beijing-Hangzhou Highway, and even the commander of the regiment died in the battle. It can be seen that its combat effectiveness was strong. It was normal for him to want to compete with the officers and soldiers of the 4th Regiment, whose achievements and reputations were far greater than theirs.

"Captain Tang, your officers and soldiers want to test the guns. This standard rifle is a new rifle that the brothers of the 4th Regiment are not familiar with. And my guard squad has always been equipped with flower machine guns. , I haven't used this gun much. Both sides are evenly matched. Why don't we let them compete? Adding some psychological pressure can show their true level!" The colonel smiled for the first time.

"In order to let the brothers compete with each other, I will personally take out 100 oceans to reward you and my army for participating in this shooting competition. The first brother will get 50 oceans, the second place will get 30 oceans, and the third place will get 20 oceans. What do you think, Captain Tang?'

"This... Tang Dao did not agree immediately, but frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Captain Tang, if you can win one of the top three, I will give you a surprise!" Seeing Tang Dao's hesitation, the captain surnamed Gu smiled even more and promised. "However, please forgive me, Captain Tang. It's not that I am deliberately mysterious. Since it is a surprise, it will be more fun to see the real face at the end, right?'

Obviously, he misunderstood and thought that Tang Dao was unwilling to participate in this kind of competition that would not benefit him if he won, but would be embarrassing if he lost. He even threw out the bait of surprise.

In fact, Tang Dao hesitated, but the man in front of him was rich enough to give out 100 dollars as a bonus, but he, as the head of the regiment, had not even received his salary! But if he didn't give out something, not to mention that he would lose face, how would the soldiers of the 49th Army look at him? Tang Dao didn't care about being called a stingy head, but this would affect the reputation of the Four Lines Regiment, right?

Tang Dao turned his eyes slightly, thinking of something on his body, and smiled, "Okay! Since Head Gu has this intention, then it's settled. But Head Gu pays for the bonus, but Tang Dao is a poor man, with no money on him.

"It doesn't matter! It's okay! Captain Tang, your Four-Line Regiment is just being established, and it's time to spend money!" Colonel Gu shook his head to show his understanding.

But the soldiers standing upright behind him, holding the submachine gun handles in front of their chests, showed some contempt on their faces.

In fact, who would believe that a colonel of the army, the head of a regiment, said that he had no money? There is a saying in China: a poor temple but a rich abbot! No matter how poor the Four-Line Regiment is, the poor ones are ordinary officers and soldiers. How can they starve the officers to death? Who are you trying to fool?

"However, I can use this as a reward for the brothers with the best shooting results!" Tang Dao took out the cowhide knife bag tied to his calf. Pull out an iron bar and put it in front of the colonel.

What is this? Colonel Gu and the guards behind him were all stunned.

"Hiss!"

Then, there was a sound of people sucking in their breath!

At first glance, this is just an iron bar, or a sharp steel spike. However, these people are all veterans, and soon they found something different in this steel spike.

The sharp tip is not the point. For the soldiers who have killed many Japanese soldiers, it doesn't matter if the tip is not sharp, just put in more effort. What attracted their attention was the several thick lines running through the entire steel spike. Large bloodletting groove.

They can all imagine how big the wound will be if this black steel spike pierces the human body. What's more, the blood will flow unstoppably along these bloodletting grooves.

Perhaps, in less than a minute, even the darkest skinned people will become pale, just like they are powdered.

That is, the paleness after losing too much blood!

"What is this?" Colonel Gu held this human weapon with horror in his eyes.

"This is the bayonet designed by Tang Dao itself, also called the three-edged bayonet. Because there is no machine tool, it is made by hand. It is still a finished product, which makes the brothers of the 49th Army laugh. "Tang Dao explained.

Yes, this is the world's first three-edged military bayonet, made by Mr. He.

It can only be said that some people can succeed for a reason.

Tang Dao only gave a rough design drawing. Just three days after leaving the base to go to Xuzhou, Mr. He, holding the design drawing, led a group of top students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Physics. Without any machine tools, they used a completely scrapped heavy machine gun barrel as the basis and used the earthen furnace of the only blacksmith shop in the town to create this three-edged military bayonet that is almost 90% similar to the future in two days and one night.

This kind of self-discipline, which is vigorous and resolute and does not want to waste any time, may be one of the important reasons why this woman will become one of the very few female scientists in the future.

This was a sample, but Tang Dao liked it very much and confiscated it on the spot.

Teacher Xiao He saw that his work was liked by Tang Dao, but he was not angry. He even gave it to Tang Dao without knowing it, along with the cowhide knife pouch that he had sewn by himself.

For an engineer, what could be more satisfying than being liked by others for his work?

What's more, for this scientific master, as long as one is successful, there will be more, and the quality will be better.

In her words: The steel of this three-edged military thorn is not very good, and it has not undergone real assassination tests. I don’t know how effective it is in breaking the body and bleeding. It can be regarded as a semi-finished product at best!

Teacher Xiao He's meaning is very obvious. She needs to test. The subjects of the test are of course the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and Tang Dao is the one who does the test for her.

To put it bluntly, regardless of whether Tang Dao is trying to steal sex, in fact, in the eyes of Teacher Xiao He, he is just a tool man.

In other words, the four-line regiment would have to march over two thousand miles and would not be able to see the test subjects for at least a month or two. Holding this weapon with a somewhat weird shape but definitely revealing fierce flames, Colonel Gu looked at a wooden stake two meters away and threw it with all his strength.

With a "snatch" sound, the seemingly unsharp triangular steel thorn was inserted deeply into the wooden stake. He strode forward and reached out to pull it out, but it was not as laborious as expected.

Colonel Gu's face showed horror!

Of course he knew, having been in the military for a long time, that this was not because the military thorn did not penetrate deeply enough, but because the military thorn in his hand caused too much damage to the wood, resulting in the wood not being able to stab the general and get stuck.

This is the same as piercing the human body. When it is pulled out, the muscles and bones of the human body cannot cause much hindrance. Don't underestimate this obstacle. On the battlefield, a delay of less than one second may save your life.

He could fully imagine what kind of terrifying lethality this military spur would cause if it were placed on the head of a rifle. It was definitely not comparable to the Japanese 38-type bayonet.

The only shortcoming is that the function of this steel thorn is too single.

"Good stuff!" Colonel Gu, holding a three-edged military thorn in his hand, praised it endlessly. "Captain Tang's unique weapon is worth no less than 100 silver coins!"

After saying that, he looked at his soldiers: "I want this military thorn. You have to win it back for me. If you win it back, each person will be rewarded with a bowl of fat meat. If you can't win it back, then you don't need to eat it for dinner today. You will give it to me." I’m going to hold the whistle at the entrance of the village!”

"Yes!" More than a dozen guardsmen roared in unison in response to their commander.

Without looking at their firm eyes and puffed-up chests, just by listening to their voices, Tang Dao, who had been in the military camp for more than ten years, knew that they were confident enough.

That is the confidence brought by having experienced the battlefield.

Tang Dao had every reason to believe that the brutal battles these elite troops had experienced would never be inferior to those of his soldiers.

However, they are elites, so why are the soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment not elites?

Seeing that the commander of the 49th Army had given orders to his subordinates to win, Tang Dao smiled and turned his attention to the guard squad one following him, which was the former squad one of Leng Feng's company.

Guard Class 1 is Leng Feng's sharp knife class. The squad leader and squad deputy are all veterans who have experienced the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. Its precision shooters, machine gunners and grenade launchers are also drawn from the veterans of the 67th Army. After arriving, all the military ranks were non-commissioned officers, and the remaining spearmen were also selected from the Songjiang Security Regiment.

The Songjiang Security Group was not popular before the Songjiang War, but even if it is a pig, if it wants to survive after experiencing the continuous war, it will have to become a pig that can run fast and hide well, let alone these 3,000 people. The number of soldiers has been reduced to 500.

No matter how bad the marksmanship is, they have to be accurate on the battlefield where they are constantly on the verge of life and death. If they are not accurate, they will all die. In Tang Dao's opinion, the marksmanship honed by the shadow of death on the battlefield is far superior to that on the training ground!

The stray bullets flying around, the shrapnel with no traces, the splashing soil, the miserable screams of his comrades before they died, and even the broken limbs falling in front of me, I was in a hell that was extremely depressing. A true warrior is the one who can still shoot accurate bullets at the enemy in his psychological mode.

His soldiers are this kind of soldiers!

In the Battle of Qinglong Ridge, Leng Feng's company had already proved this. As a sharp knife squad, the bodies of at least 50 Japanese infantry were left in front of the platoon and squad positions.

That alone may not mean much. After all, a country with superior terrain, solid trenches, and continuous firepower such as submachine guns and shell guns,

The Japanese infantry relied on the tactic of "after the artillery blasted the infantry, and after the infantry charged the artillery bombardment", as long as there was no heavy artillery bombardment of the Chinese trenches, the faster and more determined the charge would be, the more difficult it would be in front of the Leng Feng Company, who had a tough enough mentality. Head-Giving Contest!

However, according to the records of the quartermaster stationed in the first company, in one platoon and one squad, the two sides killed as many as 7 Japanese soldiers in long-range fire from 200 meters away, while only 2 of them were injured.

This achievement is incredible,

That almost means that in terms of shooting alone, the level of the first squad can match that of the Japanese infantry who are good at shooting, although they still take advantage of the geographical advantage.

Therefore, although they are now the same as the soldiers of the 49th Army's guard squad, at least half of them have flower traps on their chests, in fact, they were the purest infantry a few days ago.

Rifles are their main business!

This infantry commander who was originally a guard battalion commander is probably using his own weaknesses to challenge others' strengths.

Tang Dao thought about it and finally didn't want to take advantage of him. He smiled and said: "To be honest with you, Captain Gu, my guard company was reorganized from the first company under my command when it was expanded a few days ago. They are infantrymen fighting on the front line from the Jiaxing front to the Guangde battlefield!"

"Oh?" Colonel Gu frowned when he heard Tang Dao say this, without any fear on his face. "It turns out that they are the most elite infantry under Captain Tang. Then I have seen more. Please rest assured, Captain Tang, these soldiers under my command are all the most heroic troops on the battlefield, and will never make the brothers of the Four Lines Regiment laugh at them!"

Although this man also responded to Tang Dao's openness, as a former division-level guard battalion commander, he was also arrogant. No matter what, he would not allow him to retreat at all.

Moreover, as the infantry commander who took office just two months ago, when rebuilding the guard company where most of the guards died in the charge of the previous commander, he also selected elite infantry from each company, which is also a battle-hardened army.

He has the same confidence in his soldiers as Tang Dao.

"That's fine, it's settled," Tang Dao nodded.

Since this guy said so, he had to follow him to the end.

Turning his head to look at the row of guards standing upright behind him, Tang Dao also gave a lecture: "Brothers, if you can't get the first or second place, remember to get the third place for me. 20 yuan is enough to make a lot of money. If you win the money of Captain Gu, everyone here will have an extra meal tonight! That's it!

"Yes!" The first guard squad also stood at attention and agreed loudly!

The 49th Army was stunned!

Good guy, who in the barracks doesn't fight for the first place? But this guy actually encouraged his subordinates to get the third place.

Perhaps, only the colonel named Gu, who narrowed his eyes slightly, could hear the hidden confidence of Tang Dao after he got the third place. Not everyone dares to say that he will definitely get the third place, which is even more difficult than fighting for the first place.
