Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 949 Decisive Battle (16)

Molotov, who was madly cursed by Zhukov and would not end well, had come to Berlin at this time and had a happy reunion with his beloved wife Zhemchuzhena and daughter Svetlana. And according to Yanik's promise, he will soon be allocated a piece of land to establish his own country; although this country will exist as a colony or a dependent country, it is much better than hiding under Moscow and waiting for the end of the world.

On the fourth day, the bombardment of Moscow continued. More and more people could not bear the terrible mental pressure and collapsed; some committed suicide, some self-mutilated, and some even committed extremely extreme and horrific acts. .

In the area where the American Expeditionary Force was located, a young soldier suddenly jumped up and yelled, picked up his Thompson submachine gun and started shooting wildly in all directions. Caught off guard, people around him were shot and fell to the ground, and heart-rending screams broke out one after another.

His submachine gun had a fifty-round drum. By the time people nearby heard the news and arrived, he had already fired all the bullets in the drum. More than twenty people fell in a pool of blood, most of them dead, and only Several people were still making feeble screams. But even though all the bullets in the gun were empty, the young soldier was still pulling the trigger frantically.

"Asshole! What are you doing! Put down the gun!!" The company commander who arrived immediately turned red when he saw this, and shouted angrily. However, he saw that the soldier's face was ferocious, his veins were exposed, his face was full of madness, and he was trembling. He took out the grenade and reached out to pull the safety ring.

When the others saw this, they screamed and hid in all directions. The company commander quickly drew out his M1911 pistol, pointed it at the soldier and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!" The 43mm bullet accurately penetrated the soldier's forehead, penetrated the entire cranial cavity, and then exited from the back of the head. Along with the bullet, a large amount of brain tissue and skull fragments were ejected. The soldier didn't say a word and fell on his back. The grenade rolled to the side before he could pull out the safety ring.

At this time, their battalion commander and regimental commander also came after hearing the news. "God, what's going on?! Someone, get these wounded people to the emergency room quickly!"

The company commander put away his pistol and sighed. "The bastard suddenly went crazy."

The battalion commander and regimental commander have received several reports of soldiers committing suicide, but this is the first time such a serious incident has occurred. "Report to Commander Eisenhower quickly!"

"What?!" Eisenhower was shocked when he received the report and jumped up. "How many casualties are there?!"

"Twenty-one people died on the spot and four were seriously injured."

"Damn it!" Eisenhower slammed the table, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to eat someone. The caliber of the Thompson submachine gun is also 43 mm. Although it fires pistol bullets, its power cannot be underestimated. If it is seriously injured, it is basically impossible to save it. These poor soldiers did not die in the battle with the enemy, but fell under the guns of their comrades. Is there anything more tragic, cowardly and ridiculous than this!

"This damn bastard, it would be too easy for him to die like this!" Although Eisenhower was filled with raging anger, he had nowhere to vent it. If that bastard was still alive, he would definitely use a flamethrower to burn him into cinders, but now that everyone was killed, what could he do? You can't whip the corpse, right? !

After huffing and puffing for a long time, Eisenhower gradually calmed down and the adjutant next to him suggested. "Commander, why don't you put away all the soldiers' weapons and ammunition first?" The crazy bombardment by the European coalition forces is unknown for how many more days. If the soldiers continue to keep their guns and ammunition, God knows what big trouble will happen.

Eisenhower thought for a while and nodded. "Go ahead and put away all the soldiers' weapons. Only officers above the platoon level can carry weapons. Tell the soldiers that if they feel they can't bear it, they can go to the chaplain to talk to them." Although the US military does not have political commissars, it never ignores the military. The morale of the officers and soldiers, the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, and the ideological work of the officers and soldiers. In fact, their military chaplains can be regarded as "political commissars." If American soldiers occasionally feel uncomfortable physically or have emotional fluctuations, the chaplains will provide psychological counseling to them, which is the ideological work of being a human being.

"yes!"

Although Zhukov also learned about this matter, he was not relaxed here and did not care about the internal affairs of the US military. Just yesterday, he received more than a hundred reports of soldiers committing suicide by swallowing guns. I'm afraid there will be more today. After hearing Eisenhower's measures, he ordered Minuk who was standing aside. "Go and collect all the weapons of our soldiers, and put them under special guard, and distribute them to the soldiers when the German army launches an attack." Although most of the Soviet soldiers are still Mosin Nagants, there are also many soldiers equipped with equipment imported from the United States. The lethality of the Thompson submachine guns and M3 submachine guns that came to support cannot be ignored.

The Soviet Union's own submachine guns only have PPD-34/38 and PPD-40.

This "Popod" PPD-34/38/40 submachine gun was imitated by the famous Soviet weapons designer Vasily Degtyarev based on the MP18 and MP28. The Tokarev pistol cartridge is based on the Mauser pistol cartridge. For imitation blueprint. The PDD can use a more flexible 25-round magazine or a large-capacity 71-round drum, which is copied from the Finnish M1 submachine gun.

The PPD became the first submachine gun of the Soviet army in 1935, named PPD-34. Just because of production problems, only 44 pieces were produced in 1934, and only a very pitiful 23 pieces were produced in 1935. The production volume was increased to 1,291 pieces in 1937. Subsequently, 1115 and 1700 were produced in 1938 and 1939 respectively. At that time, PPD was adopted by the internal troops of the NKVD and the border guards. However, in 1939, the PPD-34 was completely retired, and subsequent orders were canceled due to orders from the People's Commissariat of Defense Industry.

Although the decision was quickly reversed due to the good personal relationship between Deggarev and Stalin and the personal intervention of the two, it was too late. Due to previous directives, factories were unable to produce a large number of submachine guns in a short period of time, resulting in a serious shortage of individual automatic weapons during the Soviet-Finnish War.

The PPD was further modified and renamed PPD-34/38 and PPD-40, with minor changes introduced to make it easier to produce. Mass production began in 1940, with a total of 81,118 produced that year. (The production of Bo/Bosha PPSh-41 submachine guns can produce 3,000 units a day at its peak)

As for the famous Bo/Bosha PPSh-41 submachine gun of the original time and space, its designer George Sparkin was labeled as a counter-revolutionary as early as 1938. He did not even make it to Siberia and was shot there; And this is naturally Yannick's method.

"Yes." Minuk nodded, left the command room, and carried out the order.
