The sun never sets in America

Chapter 340 Radio and Machine Gun Attack

Zizzizi————

A black box that looked like a suitcase was making sounds that sounded like circuits.

In front of the box, there is a young man wearing black headphones. The young man's left hand keeps tapping a spring device similar to a button. His fingers keep pressing down and lifting up again, looking like a funny "lying on his back" Sit up".

Beep beep beep! !

There was a faint vibrating sound from the side of the earphones, "Swiss." The young man wearing the earphones kept jumping on the white paper with the pencil in his hand. When everything was over, this not-so-secret call was sent to the people behind. In the hands of Dong Ziqin.

Looking at the "business is booming" in his hand, Dong Ziqin showed a faint smile, and then announced that "the test was successful", and there was a lively celebration in the entire office.

A few days later, news about the success of the 25th wireless telegraphy test was sent to Liu Peng’s desk. After reading it, Liu Peng gave instructions: “Block the news, immediately mass-produce, and develop a military model—— "

Although there are only less than twenty words, it can be seen that the emphasis on wireless telegraphy is given.

Even after learning that the Army had wireless telegraphy, the Navy listed the popularization of wireless communication command as the biggest "goal" of the entire army, even higher than the Qin-class warships currently in the design stage.

The essence of war is that the strong fights the weak, and the fast fights the slow. An information lead is often a military lead. After all, Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles! !
-

Da da da! ! !

On the shooting range, a series of tongues of flames are like lava ejected from hell. Once they hit, it will be a "horrible" thing to happen.

As the flames continued to shoot out, relevant data was also recorded. The data of up to 800 rounds per minute made people's scalp numb after looking at it. It was not the shock of the strength, but the terrifying bullet consumption.

Eight hundred rounds in one minute, eight thousand rounds in ten minutes, you know. Although Han is an industrial country, if you buy a machine gun, you can imagine how much pressure it will put on logistics.

Someone wanted to stand up and stop him, but was stopped by Dong Ziqin's words, "Military orders are like mountains."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people behind changed. All fools knew that running all the way while carrying a machine gun weighing hundreds of kilograms and being tested by artillery fire was no longer training, it was "torture."

"Click, click, click." The machine gunner tightened his grip on the gun again. The machine gun in his hand only "swayed" slightly on the firing port due to its weight. At other times, it seemed extremely "stable" because of the tires on the bracket.

"Crack!!"

After putting it down, he didn't bother to rest. He directly adjusted the muzzle of the gun to the left and loaded the gun quickly. Soon, the sound of "ta-da-da" came continuously from the front.

When the order was given, the machine gunner quickly pulled the trigger.

For the Han Army, which has always focused on mobile warfare, supplies are sometimes not a helper but a burden in mobile warfare.

The terrifying consumption of machine guns is a headache for almost all logistics personnel in Han. Among other things, such terrifying firepower must bring terrible ammunition consumption.

.............................................

When machine guns first came out, the Han Army planned to equip each team with two machine guns to form a machine gun squad.

"Da da da……"

However, the firepower of machine guns is difficult for the Han Army to give up. Since it is impossible to achieve the dual choice of firepower and resources, it becomes inevitable to make a choice in the middle.

Everyone was dumbfounded. In the end, the most experienced loader relieved the embarrassment by shouting "Follow me".

On the muzzle, tongues of flame flew up like a streak of fire. Because it had just been preheated, the flames erupted even more smoothly than before.

But in any case, the installation of machine guns has become inevitable. Dong Ziqin's "instructor" will be the first unit equipped with this type of machine gun, and it has become inevitable to experiment with the best use of machine guns for the entire army.

Dong Ziqin, who was in the rear, saw this scene and said nothing. He didn't say anything until the other party passed the artillery area:

"Cross shot!!"

Although this configuration is still considered a "luxury" in the eyes of logistics personnel, in the eyes of those officers who claim to popularize machine guns in their troops, it is a huge concession, and can even be said to be a "failure."

Dong Ziqin suppressed his "excitement" and made the sound of shooting again.

One machine gun was definitely not enough for cross-fire, and soon another machine gun entered the "drill field."

Dong Ziqin looked at the Type 20 water-cooled machine gun mounted on two wheels. He fell into a "fantasy". It was the first time that he longed to be a soldier.

Late at night, by the light, Dong Ziqin carefully looked down at the machine gun manual in his hand.

The main reason is ammunition consumption. The ammunition consumption of the latest 20-year-old water-cooled heavy machine gun is more terrifying than that of a hundred rifles in the army. However, in war, because people are more flexible, a hundred rifles must be Stronger than a machine, of course, this refers to mobile warfare. If it is an offensive and defensive battle, then the powerful firepower of the machine gun is an insurmountable barrier for the opponent's infantry.

"Experiment again!!"

When the chain was inserted and the door of the magazine was closed, the soldier lay on the ground, looking forward, with a loader squatting beside him.

Dong Ziqin watched for a few rounds before calling a halt. Then he recorded everything that happened today and went back to find someone to write a tactical manual for the use of machine guns.

Finally, when the machine gunners who were just about to take a rest were still panting, there was a "bang" in front, and a deafening burst of white smoke appeared, scattered and looking like an "S".

The scene of three soldiers carrying machine guns constantly shuttling on the winding road is like a comedy, making people want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Da da da………

"Click", when one string of bullet chains was finished, a new string of yellow bullet chains was inserted.

Therefore, reducing the proportion of machine guns in the military has become a primary issue.

He even imagined in his mind the scene of hordes of enemy troops falling under his "flaming sickle". It was an indescribable feeling, as if he had become the god of death who controlled life and death.

When Dong Ziqin in the rear heard this, he said nothing but asked for "simulated bombs" to disperse the shelling.

However, after weighing the consumption and the weight of the machine gun, it was finally decided to cancel the team-level organization and change it to the battalion level. Each battalion added a small machine gun team. Each team had five machine guns and a total of thirty people. According to the ratio of five people per five people. Maneuver and transport a machine gun, and the extra five are considered command and reserve forces, used as a supplement after casualties.

"Fire!!"

"Crack!!"

When the machine gun, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, was carried forward with difficulty by three soldiers, Dong Ziqin shouted again: "Move the machine gun position forward fifty meters, and the muzzle of the gun is to the left..."

When the three soldiers finally carried them to a place 200 meters away, they heard Dong Ziqin's urging from behind. They ignored the sweat on their foreheads and continued running. As soon as they reached the position of 50 meters, they immediately He put down the machine gun that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on his shoulders.

After several rounds of shooting, Dong Ziqin immediately issued the "termination order", but before taking a break, he issued the "charge with gun" order again.

In fact, there are "full of doubts" within the Han Army about the use of machine guns.

"Three rounds of rapid fire!!"

Two uninterrupted firelights continuously formed an "X" on both sides, giving people a "laser ray" feeling.

There is even a pencil drawing made by Y on it, which looks very much like a sketch comic.

"The lying position is the same as the crouching position, but in a real battlefield, except for special terrain, use the lying position as much as possible to reduce targets and prevent the opponent's gunner from observing..."

"According to my observation, mortars have a great restraint effect on machine guns, and can even be said to be natural enemies..."

"Stop the mortar launch or suppress the opponent's shelling space in advance as the primary goal."

The pen in Dong Ziqin's hand kept writing and drawing on this drawing.

There are some "experiences" among them.

Regarding machine guns, Dong Ziqin's view is "around".

What is around is to build an army around machine guns. The Han Army's style of play in the future should be based around machine guns.

Others are infantry artillery, which are bunkers for machine gun fire, or "machine gun priority."

This tactic is actually no different from the original Han Army's firepower supremacy. They all use stronger firepower to defeat the enemy. This was vividly demonstrated in the Black Sea offensive and defensive battle. The Han Army is because of you and the Russian army. This war was won with more artillery shells and a longer supply of ammunition. The so-called mortars were just the finishing touch.

As Zhao Longsheng wrote in his war memoirs:

"The Black Sea War is a victory of artillery, a victory of artillery theory, and a victory of barbarism!!"

Three victories revealed the importance of firepower in modern warfare.

In Dong Ziqin's eyes, machine guns are a new generation of firepower. In his mind, machine guns will serve as the base point of attack and connect the entire battlefield. Even in defensive battles, protecting machine gun positions has been written into the "manual" by Dong Ziqin.

In order to let the machine guns exert greater power, Dong Ziqin did not learn from those "old-fashioned" generals and gather the machine guns to form a so-called machine gun team. Instead, he dispersed the machine guns, or temporarily dispersed them.

(Subject to the number of machine guns)

In his eyes, the machine gun should be the sharpest longbow in the entire war and the real city wall.

And moving forward and retreating freely became his "goal". But it's not that simple, because the machine guns of the Han Army are currently centralized for use. This means that if Dong Ziqin wants to achieve what he calls "retractable and flexible", he must first decentralize the machine guns and get familiar with them in advance. OK.

Regarding this problem, Dong Ziqin's choice was to "decentralize" or "temporarily" decentralize.

Throughout the night, Dong Ziqin studied his so-called machine gun rapid tactics.

I worked until dawn, then lay down on my desk under the rays of the sun.

The sun shone on his face, and his eyes covered with gum trembled slightly, and then he snored loudly, like a thunderstorm.

.........

"Crack!!"

When the last piece of iron plate was welded, a so-called "chariot" appeared in the eyes of the employees of Xijing Machinery Factory.

Looking at the chariot with a tractor-like chassis in front of him, Dong Ziqin's mouth twitched a few times, and then he smiled and said to Factory Director Lu:

"Director Lu, this is your tank. I think it's better not to experiment. I've looked at several of these vehicles, but none of them are qualified!!"

Seeing the distrustful "eyes" of General Dong, Director Lu suppressed the "anger" in his heart and stated directly that this was the best product of their factory and there must be no problem.

Dong Ziqin looked at Director Lu, who was extremely "shaky", and said nothing. He just gestured with his hand that the experiment could be carried out.

"Gulu..."

Looking at the "beggar" chariot emitting black smoke, Dong Ziqin said nothing, but his helplessness could be seen in his eyes.

In the end, it was just as he expected. It worked fine at first, but after several "strict" tests, it stopped moving.

And the factory director Lu is still quibbling about the so-called "improvements will be more advanced than this one."

Regarding this blatant money fraud, Dong Ziqin said nothing. He just put the factory on the "blacklist" when he returned.

Click, click! !

As the train drove through the valley, Dong Ziqin looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling "preoccupied" all over.

I have been busy with "chariots" and machine guns these days, but except for the machine guns, everything else is "a mess."

Especially for internal combustion engine tanks, it is even further away.

Basically, it's the same routine, get an iron shell, and finally use a tractor chassis.

He approves of the tractor chassis. After all, this thing is indeed easy to use, but there is one thing that he does not agree with very much, and that is the control and battlefield trialability.

But most companies only know how to pile steel to make the tank bigger, just for the sake of being big, without caring about the control at all.

Dong Ziqin deeply hated this kind of "goofing around", but that was the case at the moment. The research and development of internal combustion engines by large ordnance companies basically belonged to the "primitive" stage.

The advantages of these companies are mainly concentrated in the manufacturing and research and development of weapon systems. As for power, except for Hongshan Machinery, there are basically not many qualified ones.

However, Hongshan Machinery mainly makes machine tools and other basic research and development equipment, and these things are not involved at all.

In this way, in the end, only one company caught Dong Ziqin's eyes, and that was "Tornado Tractor Company".

Dong Ziqin had heard about this tractor company that had just been listed in the technology sector recently.

He even knew about the other party's Tornado tractor.

But I know what I know, but I have never seen a real car, and I don’t know what the manufacturing level is.

These are the things that Dong Ziqin is most worried about right now.

At Tornado Company, when they learned that a "big shot" was coming to inspect, Huo Junling and Huang Shijun cleaned up early in the morning and even bought so-called "gifts."

But by three o'clock in the afternoon, no one was there, so Huang Shijun complained:

"If you don't come, we will be in trouble!!"

Huo Junling didn't say anything. He just asked his secretary to pour out the tea that had just been brewed and replace it with new tea.

Listening to Huang Shijun's complaints, Huo Junling turned around and said:

"I don't know if you can get off the pot, but I'm sure you won't be able to get off the pot today!!"

"how do you know??"

Huang Shijun wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. The secretary ran in in a panic and whispered, "Here we come."

Huang Shijun looked at Huo Junling who was already arranging his clothes and whispered "blind fortune teller" in a low voice, and quickly followed behind to prepare to meet the big shot.

When they came out, the secretary hurriedly said something in Huo Junling's ear, and saw Huo Junling shouting to Huang Shijun, who was still in "trance", and then entered the backyard.

As soon as I arrived in the backyard, I saw that several "tractors" that had been reserved were being caressed by a man in his thirties, as if he were caressing his favorite person.

When Huo Junling and Huang Shijun walked to the side, Dong Ziqin raised his head and looked at them, asking excitedly:

“How good is this tractor??”

"Can I experiment??"

Listening to the tone of the man in the black jacket, Huo Junling reacted the fastest and said directly:

"Okay, I'll go find someone now."

On a deserted pasture, a tractor was snoring.

Compared to the excited Dong Ziqin, Huo Junling and Huang Shijun were a little uneasy. After all, if something happened, they would have missed the legendary "great opportunity."

"Gululu!!"

Under the gaze of several people, the tractor moved, and drove out amid a burst of snoring and black smoke.

"Turn around and take a look!!"

Dong Ziqin saw that the black smoke was a tractor, and he was not "dissatisfied" at all. He even felt a little bit happy, because according to his observation, the tornado tractor had the least smoke and dust.

In the anxious eyes of Huang Shijun and Huo Junling, this machine that they had worked hard on was turning around in an orderly manner, even giving people a "silky" feeling. Although it was an illusion, this illusion undoubtedly deepened Dong Ziqin's understanding of the situation. tractor impression.

After everything was over, Dong Ziqin climbed directly onto the "tractor", which could not sell many units a month and was extremely expensive, and continued to perform "clumsy" controls.

When he got off the car, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.

"General Dong...Mr. Dong, what do you think of our company's products?"

Huo Junling looked at the young man who was said to have the status of a general in a flattering manner. He seemed to be asking for advice, but in fact he was testing Dong Ziqin's attitude.

"Mr. Dong, don't worry, as long as the purchase volume is large, we will definitely reduce the price!!"

Huang Shijun then said that although a large sum of money was invested after the recent listing, most of it was invested in the production line and the research and development of spare parts, so the price has not actually dropped much, which is the main reason why the price is still high.

Dong Ziqin, who was opposite, looked at the four "anticipating" eyes, relaxed a little, then smiled and stretched out his right hand:

"Congratulations to both of you. From today on, you are partners of the Army Procurement Department!!"

Huo Junling reacted the fastest, stretched out his hand and held it tightly, saying:

"It is our duty to serve the empire!!"
