Bright Sword starts with the grenade flat.

Chapter 6 The correct use of the Type grenade

Li Yunlong nodded after hearing Zhang Dabiao's words:

"We bumped into him today. It's unlucky for him. I was just thinking about venting his anger on my two old comrades! He's still here!"

When Zhang Dabiao heard what Li Yunlong meant, he probably wanted to have a fight with the Bantian United Team, so he immediately persuaded him:
  "Captain, they are the elite of the Japanese!"

In response, Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao with a dismissive look:
  "I don't believe in that evil, so I'm going to fight the elites! Pass my order, everyone fixes their bayonets and prepares to attack!"

But when Zhang Dabiao heard Li Yunlong's words, he said very differently:
  "Attack, commander, the enemy is attacking now!"

The difference between Zhang Dabiao and Zhang Dabiao is naturally because when faced with the enemy's attack, the normal approach is to first avoid the enemy's attack, take defensive measures, wait for the enemy's attack to be frustrated, and then take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, so Zhang Dabiao is different.

However, Li Yunlong faced Zhang Dabiao's doubts and said with a straight face:

"Didn't you hear the order? Listen carefully. At this point, we don't know anything else but attack!"

Zhang Dabiao saw that Li Yunlong had already said this, so naturally he couldn't say anything more. After all, Li Yunlong was the regimental commander, and he was just the battalion commander! It is taboo to disobey orders on the battlefield, so he immediately shouted loudly:

"Everyone, bayonets fixed and ready to attack!"

After hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, the soldiers of the new regiment did not hesitate to install the bayonets on their waists. After all, normal position defense does not carry bayonets when lying in the trenches and aiming guns, which will affect shooting. Precision.

Moreover, the addition of a bayonet makes the rifle too long and inconvenient to move.

Of course, Liu Xiu also heard Zhang Dabiao's words, so he immediately loaded the magazine of the Southern Fourteenth Pistol and pulled the bolt to make a posture ready for battle.

After all, Liu Xiu doesn't have a rifle, so he doesn't have a bayonet. What's more, Liu Xiu is only nine years old and only a little over 1.3 meters tall, not as tall as a rifle. You have to know that even a relatively short Type 38 rifle is not as tall as a rifle. The length also reaches 1.28 meters. If the bayonet is added, the length reaches 1.7 meters.

Such a length is naturally very inconvenient for Liu Xiu to use. This is why Liu Xiu did not choose to take the 38 rifle when he killed the Japanese team.

Liu Xiu saw that there was no order to launch an immediate charge, so he thought about it and took the only thin quilt he had taken before burning down the house.

According to the memory of the original owner, this thin quilt was specially made for him by his mother to cover his belly in spring and summer to prevent him from catching cold. It was similar to the blanket Liu Xiu used to cover him in the summer before he traveled through time.

But now Liu Xiu folded this thin quilt into the same width as the launch leg of the Type 89 grenade captured by the little Japanese team he destroyed before.

The Type 89 grenade is an improved version of the grenade in the Taisho decade. Its most critical improvement is the huge improvement in range, from the original maximum range of only 175 meters to a maximum range of 7 One hundred meters, the effective range is about five hundred meters.

Of course, if you want to reach such a range, you have to use the Type 89 grenade specially equipped for it. Because this grenade is equipped with a sealed copper tape, it can expand when it is fired due to the explosive explosion of the fired gunpowder, so that it can fit better with the wall of the tube. . This is similar to the minie projectile used in flintlock muzzleloaders, which uses the expansion of gunpowder to expand the bottom of the bullet, and the same goes for the grenade, so that the bottom of the shell is close to the wall of the barrel.

So this not only achieves high sealing, but also allows it to fit the internal rifling and allow the shell to rotate, so the accuracy is also higher.

This is much better than making do with the Type 91 grenade, and the grenade has a charge of 145 grams, which is even higher than the 110 grams of the 60mm mortar of the US Army. Three grams of powder is more, so the power of the Little Japanese fifty-caliber Type 89 grenade is no worse than that of a 60mm mortar.

Now all Liu Xiu had to do was to fold his thin quilt to the same width as the sole of the grenade tube, and then borrow a gaiter strap from Li Yunlong's guard Huzi and tie it to the grenade tube. under the soles of your feet.

Following Li Yunlong's order to stay by Liu Xiu's side, Hu Zi, who was protecting Li Xiu, was confused when he saw Liu Xiu's actions. He didn't know what Liu Xiu was going to do. You know, their new regiment had also captured the grenade. of.

However, the control skills of grenade cans are relatively high, so they are often inaccurate. You must know that in the team of little devils, only well-trained veterans can guarantee more than 85% accuracy of grenade cans. Hit rate.

It is still difficult for a novice to control a grenade without a long period of training. After all, controlling a grenade is not like shooting a rifle, where three points and one line are enough.

To control the grenade, you have to measure the range like a mortar, and then adjust the range ejector under the grenade according to the distance. Finally, because the grenade does not have a support frame, you have to hold the grenade with your hands to allow it to be thrown. The grenade must be kept at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground. If the angle is wrong, it will also affect the accuracy of the grenade. It is precisely because of so many troubles that the grenade can only be played by veterans. thing.

Now, Liu Xiu has tied quilts to the feet of the grenade for cushioning purposes, so that it can be fired over the shoulder like the M79 grenade launcher later developed by the US Army.

Of course, the reason why Liu Xiu tied him with a thick folded quilt was to slow down the recoil of the grenade launch.

You must know that the grenade has another nickname, that is, the leg-breaking cannon. The reason why this is so is because when the Little Japanese and the American army were fighting in the Pacific, after the American army seized the Little Japanese's grenade, see The sole of the foot under the grenade tube has a concave tile shape that fits better with the thigh, so I put the grenade tube on my thigh in a half-crouching position and used my thigh as a fulcrum to launch.

The consequences of this can be imagined. You must know that the muzzle velocity of the grenade when launching grenades reaches 100 meters per second. In addition, its single grenade weighs more than 800 grams, so the kinetic energy of its muzzle reaches More than four thousand joules.

You must know that the thighs and knees are relatively fragile. Sometimes during a boxing match, a whip can cause a fracture, and a forward kick can cause a reverse dislocation.

The reason why the M79 grenade launcher later developed by the US Army can be launched from the shoulder is naturally because of its low muzzle velocity of only meters per second. In addition, the mass of the grenade it launches is also light, only a little over grams. Therefore, its muzzle kinetic energy is only a mere joules.

It is precisely because the kinetic energy of the muzzle is so low that the protagonist in the movie Terminator can easily fire it with one hand, without even needing to shoulder it.

However, the Type 89 grenade will not work. The recoil force of more than 4,000 joules makes it impossible to shoot directly over the shoulder. Therefore, Liu Xiu can only learn from those anti-material sniper rifles and Liu Xiu’s favorite sniper rifle grenade launcher. There are some ways to reduce recoil.

Among them, the ones that are best at reducing recoil are naturally the Barrett M82A1 and MG6 Bobcat. These two anti-material sniper rifles have the best recoil reduction and control.
