Predator Reborn

Chapter 669 The advent of the Chinese Type 1 semi-automatic rifle

In Fengtian City, inside the Northeast Field Army headquarters, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan were studying the current war situation in the three northeastern provinces. Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing's excited voice began to sound outside Liu Hua's office. Following closely, Li Qing's

The figure appeared at the door of Liu Hua's office.

"Boss, Political Commissar, Central Military Commission telegram. The Central Committee has decided to transfer Comrade Zuo Quan, Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Eighth Route Army, to serve as Chief of General Staff of our Northeast Field Army, and transfer Comrade Su Yu, Chief of Staff of the New Fourth Army, to serve as the first Commander of the Mechanized Corps of our Northeast Field Army.

.At the same time, the Central Military Commission decided to transfer 800 commanders, political cadres and local cadres below the division level from the graduates of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to serve in our Northeast Field Army. However, the Central Military Commission requires us to ensure the safety of these cadres.

After ten days, send troops to Taiyuan City to pick up the people in person..."

"Haha, boss, you must have guessed right. The Central Military Commission has indeed agreed to your suggestion and transferred Comrade Zuo Quan and Comrade Su Yu. I didn't expect that the two bosses could bear the pain and part ways..." After listening to the deputy

Chief of Staff Li Qing's report, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, who was in Liu Hua's office, said with a smile to Liu Hua beside him.

"Political Commissar, this is expected. Lao Li, call back to the Central Military Commission immediately and thank the Central Military Commission for its support of the Northeast Field Army. In half a month, I will personally lead the special operations division to the central station and report to the leaders.

, take back a large number of cadres from the Party Central Committee to support our Northeast Field Army." Liu Hua nodded and ordered with confidence.

"Boss, you plan to go to the Party Central Committee to pick up these cadres in person. Do you think it's a bit too grand..." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked in shock.

"Of course, political commissar. These people are the elites and talents of our party, especially Mr. Zuo and Mr. Su. Both of them are the darlings of Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye. The two bosses can bear the pain and part with each other. As the supreme commander of the Northeast Field Army,

Commander, of course I have to personally welcome the arrival of the two bosses and everyone at the highest level. Therefore, when the time comes, I must go to personally welcome everyone." Liu Hua replied.

"Well, according to you, boss, it's really inappropriate for the rest of us to go to this matter except you." After thinking for a short time, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said with great agreement.

Just as political commissar Luo Ronghuan finished speaking, another excited voice reached Liu Hua's office. Immediately after him, Fu Chunsheng, who had just arrived in Fengtian City and officially served as the director of Fengtian Arsenal, stood with an excited look on his face.

At the door of the office.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, political commissar, and deputy chief of staff. Good news, good news just came from the arsenal..." Under the puzzled looks of several people, Factory Director Fu Chunsheng said with excitement.

"Director Fu, what good news are you so excited about... Could it be that the three weapons I asked the arsenal to research and produce have already been developed by the arsenal..." Looking at the excited Fu Chunsheng in front of him, Liu Hua suddenly changed his mind from

After reacting in shock, there was also a hint of excitement on his face, and he quickly asked.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief... According to the report of Deputy Factory Director Wang Guoqiang, all three weapons have been researched this morning. At present, the directors of the three branch factories have rushed to the weapons testing site with weapons. Now, they are

Waiting for the arrival of the leaders, and then starting to test the performance of various weapons..." Fu Chunsheng answered affirmatively.

As soon as Fu Chunsheng finished speaking, a thick smile appeared on Liu Hua's face. He said to the incomprehensible political commissar and deputy chief of staff Li Qing next to him: "Political Commissar, Lao Li, I am preparing for the meeting in half a month.

I don’t have to worry about giving any gifts to the Party Central Committee as a gift to our Northeast Field Army. I didn’t expect that the arsenal sent me these three weapons, and I finally don’t have to worry about this matter anymore…”

"Boss, what kind of weapon is it? It's so mysterious..." Seeing the two excited people in front of them, political commissar Luo Ronghuan and Bi Tu, they still asked with puzzled faces.

At Liu Hua's signal, factory director Fu Chunsheng explained to the political commissar and deputy chief of staff who looked puzzled in front of him: "I report to the political commissar and deputy chief of staff that these three weapons were given to our arsenal by the commander-in-chief for development and production.

"Although no specific experiments have been conducted yet, I can guarantee that the performance of these three weapons will definitely exceed that of almost all weapons in the world today."

Seeing the two partners who were shocked in front of him, Liu Hua said with a smile: "Political Commissar, Lao Li, you two, don't think too much. Now these three weapons are waiting for us at the training ground outside the city.

, when the time comes, you will be able to truly feel the specific performance of these three weapons at a glance."

While speaking, Liu Hua gave a serious order to Factory Director Fu Chunsheng at the door: "Director Fu, take us to the training ground immediately... In addition, inform Commander Sun Xingbang in the city to immediately dispatch a division of troops to attack the entire team.

All areas within ten kilometers around the training ground are sealed off and classified as military restricted areas. No one is allowed to enter without my order."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Among the mountains about fifteen kilometers away from Fengtian City, a piece of flat land with a radius of dozens of kilometers suddenly appeared in the mountains. And this flat land is a piece of land specially used by Fengtian Arsenal to test the performance of various weapons.

Training Course.

Following the order from Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, the troops of a main division took control of all commanding heights within a radius of dozens of kilometers around the training ground in the shortest possible time, and designated this area as a military restricted area.

Liu Hua and his team, led by Fu Chunsheng, had just entered the command post at the training ground. A few heads of arsenal branches who had met Liu Hua a few times a week ago walked over to him quickly.

"Reporting to all leaders, the director of the arsenal rifle factory, the director of the arsenal gun factory, and the director of the arsenal anti-aircraft gun factory, they have successfully completed their tasks. After a week of hard work, three "Chinese" standard weapons have been successfully researched. Currently, the three weapons

All the samples have been produced and are on the testing ground, waiting for inspection by the leaders..."

"Okay, good job, Deputy Director Wang. I really didn't expect that in just six days, we have produced all the samples of the three weapons. Come on, let's go to the training ground right away to test these three weapons in detail.

The specific performance of these three weapons. Let’s see if these three weapons really have very excellent performance as mentioned a week ago.” Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then faced Deputy Wang Guoqiang who was also the director of the rifle factory in front of him.

The factory director ordered with an expectant look on his face.

"Yes, Chief. Then let's go and test the three 'Zhonghua Type 1 Semi-automatic Rifles' we just developed." Wang Guoqiang nodded affirmatively, and led Liu Hua and his party to quickly walk towards the small arms testing site.

In less than a few minutes, a shooting range appeared in front of everyone.

At Wang Guoqiang's signal, a soldier quickly ran over with a rifle. Taking the rifle from the soldier's hand, Wang Guoqiang introduced it to Liu Hua and others in front of him.

"Reporting to the head, this is the first 'Zhonghua Type 1 Semi-automatic Rifle' that our Fengtian Arsenal has just developed and produced in a week based on the drawings you provided."

Looking at the rifle in Wang Guoqiang's hand, except for the caliber of the rifle, the entire gun body is the same as the MI rifle that will be equipped by the U.S. Army in half a year. Liu Hua's face immediately showed a look of excitement. Facing the man in front of him,

Wang Guoqiang asked back with a look of urgency.

"Lao Wang, please introduce to us all the specific performance of this rifle?"

"Yes, Chief..."

"Dear heads, this rifle named 'Zhonghua Type 1 Semi-automatic Rifle' is the first semi-automatic rifle in China. According to the production principle, this gun adopts the gas-operated working principle and the bolt rotary locking method. The gas tube is located

Below the barrel. After the hammer hits the firing pin to fire the bullet, part of the gunpowder gas enters a small piston barrel from an air guide hole at the bottom of the barrel near the end, pushing the piston and machine frame backward. The guide convex edge on the bolt

The guide groove of the machine frame slides. When the machine frame recoils, it drives the two locking protrusions on the bolt to be released from the locking grooves of the receiver. They rotate to unlock. During the process of recoil, the bolt completes the action of ejecting the cartridge case and at the same time overwhelms the hammer to the ready state.

.The rear end of the bolt frame hits the rear end face of the receiver, and is driven by the recoil spring to start the recoil. The guide groove on the frame guides the guide protrusion on the bolt to drive the bolt to rotate until the two locking protrusions enter the locked position. Recoil

During the process, the bullet is loaded and the bolt is locked. The frame continues to return to the position and the gun is ready to fire. Compared with the contemporaneous rear-pull bolt rifles (manually loaded bullets), the shooting speed of the Zhonghua Type 1 semi-automatic rifle has increased.

Qualitative improvement. On the battlefield, its firepower advantage can effectively suppress manually loaded rifles."

Seeing everyone's faces immediately showing doubts because of his constant use of professional terms, Wang Guoqiang continued to introduce.

"Commanders, to put it simply, this semi-automatic rifle, as long as it is used properly on the battlefield, can be as good as a light machine gun. Its most important advantage is that in terms of performance, it combines both a rifle and a light machine gun.

It is developed and produced to take advantage of the advantages of this kind of weapon."

"Deputy Director Wang, what you said is true. This rifle is really as good as a light machine gun on the battlefield..." As soon as Wang Guoqiang finished speaking, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked in shock.

"Yes, Chief. Let me introduce to you the specific specifications of this rifle. According to the design requirements, the specifications of this semi-automatic rifle are:

Caliber: 6.50 mm, can use bullets from all Type 38 rifles captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield.

Magazine capacity: 8 rounds, fed by magazine.

Bolt: gas-guided, rotary locking bolt.

Total length: 1.1 meters.

Barrel length: 610 mm.

Initial velocity: 865 meters/second.

Empty gun weight: 4.37 kg.

Effective range: 730 meters.”

"Okay..." Just as Wang Guoqiang's words fell, I don't know who was the first to shout loudly. Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of warm applause. Every commander standing behind Liu Hua was like

As if looking at a treasure, he stared unblinkingly at the rifle in Wang Guoqiang's hand in front of him with his big eyes.

"Okay, comrades, Deputy Factory Director Wang, after listening to so much, everyone should have a certain understanding of the specific specifications of this rifle. However, if no on-site testing is conducted, no one can know the specific performance of this rifle.

I don’t know. Look, let’s go to the shooting range now to see what kind of semi-automatic rifle this is..." Political commissar Luo Ronghuan, who had been standing next to Liu Hua silently, also looked at Wang Guoqiang in front of him with bright eyes.

With the rifle in his hand, he suggested with excitement.

"Reporting to the political commissar, before coming here, Factory Director Fu has already made a special explanation. It is better to see the real thing than to introduce it, and it is better to see the real thing than to demonstrate it on the spot. Now I will take everyone to the shooting range to personally experience the specific power of this semi-automatic rifle."

Wang Guoqiang quickly replied.

Commander Sun Xingbang rushed into the shooting range and followed Liu Hua. He had already fallen in love with the semi-automatic rifle in Wang Guoqiang's hands. Regardless of the objections of the political commissar around him, he was the first to rush to the shooting point. From the hands of a soldier, the result

The semi-automatic rifle was loaded with bullets, pointed at a fixed target 150 meters away, and the trigger of the rifle in hand was pulled.

"Bang bang bang..." A series of gunshots rang out on the quiet shooting range. With Sun Xingbang's squandering, all eight bullets in the magazine were shot out of the gun in less than ten seconds.

.

After finishing one magazine, Sun Xingbang seemed not satisfied yet. He picked up another magazine next to him, loaded the bullet quickly, and continued to pull the trigger. Two magazines and sixteen bullets were in Sun Xingbang's hands.

The few all imagined the target one hundred and fifty meters away.

"Good gun, good gun... Commander-in-Chief, this is the best rifle I have ever used since I became a soldier... Commander-in-Chief, when will this semi-automatic rifle be available to the troops..." Sun Xingbang reluctantly handed down the rifle in his hand. Sun Xingbang could no longer restrain himself.

Unable to control the excitement in his heart, he quickly rushed to Liu Hua and asked eagerly.

Just as Sun Xingbang finished speaking, Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing, who had just finished loading a magazine, rushed to Liu Hua with excitement and asked Liu Hua excitedly.

"Boss, I can guarantee that as long as this rifle can be equipped with troops, the combat effectiveness of our Northeast Field Army will definitely be improved. By then, the strength of an army will definitely be able to compete with a main division of the Japanese army. Boss, this

When will this rifle be put into service in the army? Also, can you give me a sample of this rifle as a souvenir..."

Seeing the two eager people in front of him, Liu Hua shook his head with a wry smile. Then, he said: "Old Sun, it will be a matter of time for this rifle to be installed in the army. However, when will it be installed?

Your First Corps also depends on the specific output of this rifle in the arsenal. In addition, with our current capabilities, it is impossible to carry out a full-army replacement of this semi-automatic rifle. So, what I mean is,

With our current capabilities, this rifle can only be equipped with all squad leaders and deputy squad leaders in the entire army. Each infantry squad in our army will not only have one infantry suppressive fire light machine gun, but also two such semi-automatic rifles. As for

Lao Li, I cannot agree to your request."

Seeing Li Qing with a puzzled look on his face, Liu Hua explained.

"These three rifle samples can be said to be the first of our country's semi-automatic rifles and have very important historical significance. Therefore, I will give these three rifles as gifts to my Northeast Field Army in half a month."

, personally presented to Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief of the Party Central Committee."

Seeing the expressions of sudden realization on everyone's faces, Liu Hua changed the topic and asked Wang Guoqiang in front of him: "Director Wang, we are very satisfied with the performance of this rifle. When the time comes, I

I will definitely ask you for credit from the Party Central Committee in person. By the way, how is the production of this rifle now?"

"Report to the chief, because the rifle factory mainly produces Japanese-style 38-type rifles. Therefore, even if the workers are allowed to work overtime, they can only reach a scale of one hundred rifles per day." Wang Guoqiang replied.

"With the production capacity of one hundred rifles, it takes half a month to produce fifteen hundred. It's too few..."

While speaking, Liu Hua slowly fell into deep thought. However, in less than half a minute, Liu Hua's eyes showed a hint of sharpness.

"Due to the continuous fighting, tens of thousands of rifles have been stored in the field army's logistics warehouse. Therefore, there will not be a shortage of this type of 38-type rifles for the time being. Director Wang, if the production of Type 38 rifles is stopped,

, concentrate on producing this semi-automatic rifle. How many can you produce in half a month?"

Faced with Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's continuous questioning, after a brief thought, Wang Guoqiang replied affirmatively: "Report to the head, if all the personnel and resources of the entire rifle factory are concentrated to produce this kind of semi-automatic rifle, I can guarantee that the Nissan rifle will be

There is absolutely no problem with hundreds of them. In half a month, we will definitely be able to produce at least 7,500 pieces..."

"Okay, I'll give you half a month, and you can produce 7,000 of these semi-automatic rifles and the corresponding magazines. By then, I'll be useful..." Liu Hua's face immediately showed a satisfied smile.

, he ordered firmly to Wang Guoqiang in front of him.

"Yes, please rest assured, chief, and promise to complete the task..."

"Well, Director Wang, this matter is settled. Let's go and take a look at the next weapon..." Liu Hua was very happy to get the results he wanted and achieve his goals.

Under the leadership of Fu Chunsheng in front of him, he quickly walked towards the artillery test site one kilometer away.
