Major Cromlin conveniently put the bullet in his pocket. Qin Baoshan didn't say anything when he saw this scene. He knew that the other party would definitely be interested in this kind of bullet. Now that Qin Baoshan handed over the bullet to the other party, he was actually giving the other party a bait. After Major Cromlin returns, he will give this bullet to their military-industrial organization. Then the military R&D personnel in the United States will realize that this bullet has brought about a revolutionary impact.
You must know that the appearance of the assault rifle changed the whole world. In order for assault rifles to appear, bullets must be improved. The Eighth Route Army has already taken this step. The American military personnel must be very curious about this, and maybe they will send a special team here to investigate. If they came, how could they come empty-handed? Definitely have to bring some goodies.
All countries are now developing various weapons. Even light weapons are constantly changing. If they want to increase the rate of fire of their weapons, they have to think of different ways. The route the Americans take is the semi-automatic rifle.
Most infantrymen use bolt-action rifles, which are the kind of rifles that have to repeatedly pull the bolt to load each time a bullet is fired. This kind of rifle is undoubtedly more troublesome. On the battlefield, many people were killed before they could finish the five bullets in the chamber.
In order to increase the rate of fire, the military workers thought of automatically loading the rifle, which is the semi-automatic rifle. In this regard, the Americans have achieved the greatest results. They have many semi-automatic rifles, such as the famous m1 rifle.
The m1 Garand rifle, also known as the Big Eight, uses two rows of magazines, a total of eight bullets, all of which are stuffed into the chamber at one time. In order to achieve automatic loading, it uses the most common guide Pneumatic automatic principle. When the bullet is fired, a part of the gunpowder gas enters a small piston barrel through an air guide hole under the barrel, pushing the piston and the machine frame to move backward. Complete the ejection action, overwhelm the hammer into the standby state, load a new round of bullets, and at the same time, the recoil spring drives the gun chamber to recoil, etc.
The function of the automatic rifle is to save the gunner from pulling the bolt. As long as one bullet is fired, the next bullet will be automatically loaded, which seems to be an improvement, but it is a single-shot weapon after all. In terms of firepower, it is absolutely impossible to compare with a continuous-firing rifle.
During World War II, the United States completely switched to semi-automatic rifles. So on the battlefield, the little devil was suppressed so that he couldn't hold his head up at all. As long as there is an m1 rifle in an infantry squad, it can provide a steady stream of firepower. The little devil's 38 big cover can only fire one shot at most, and he will be killed by several American soldiers with m1 rifles. But if this kind of rifle encounters this kind of assault rifle in Qin Baoshan's hand, he can only stare blankly. This thing is equivalent to a machine gun. One can imagine the firepower of a machine gun in hand.
Can American semi-automatic rifles be upgraded to the level of fully automatic rifles? The answer is of course no, as long as they fire ordinary rifle bullets, the recoil force will be absolutely insignificant, and it is impossible to shoot with this kind of rifle. Otherwise, the bullets behind would have flown so far that even the shooter would not know where they went. Even if continuous transmission can be achieved, it is meaningless. Only by reducing the propellant and reducing the recoil can the value of continuous firing be realized. When the Americans see that the Eighth Route Army has this kind of bullet on hand, they will definitely come here eagerly, wanting to see the effect of using this kind of battlefield bullet on the battlefield.
Now that Qin Baoshan has released the bait, he is also waiting to catch big fish in the future.
At this time, Wei Dayong had already run over, and quickly ran back, shouting to Qin Baoshan, Li Yunlong and others: "The cavalry of the second battalion of our independent cavalry regiment appeared in front. They found that a large number of little devils are invading Shanxi area, so they wanted to ambush the little devil. They met us here."
Hearing that his main force had arrived, Li Yunlong's face was full of joy, and he immediately wanted to join the main force and lead his troops to ambush the little devils, but he looked at Qin Baoshan and the others again, and then asked Wei Dayong said: "Monk, take our cavalry platoon and escort them back."
"Head, where are you taking them?" Wei Dayong was a little embarrassed.
"That goes without saying, of course it was sent to our field hospital. Didn't you find any wounded here? His grandma, what are you thinking about?" Li Yunlong was very dissatisfied with Wei Dayong's performance . What is the question? Can we still take them to our Huangyadong arsenal? Or do you want to take them to the garrison of our independent cavalry regiment? These places are not allowed to touch them. Now there happened to be another wounded, of course they were sent to the field hospital.
? Wei Dayong nodded, and led Qin Baoshan and his party to separate with Li Yunlong's large army.Well, although Wei Dayong also wants to fight the little devil, but now he has no choice. Protecting Qin Baoshan and the others is also a very important task, and this kind of task can only be completed by Wei Dayong.
Now you don't have to worry about the little devil's pursuit, and wait until you are on the road again. Qin Baoshan said to Major Kromlin: "This time our troops are going out to stop the little devil. If we encounter our remaining companion, we will try to save him. But if the little devil sends him to We have no other choice for a city they defend heavily."
Four of the other five crew members have been rescued, leaving only the last one. It might seem unfair, but there are always sacrifices on the battlefield. Those who are alive can just avenge them. If that person can be rescued, of course it is the best. If they can't be rescued, they can only accept their fate. Qin Baoshan has tried his best by saying this now.
Major Kromlin nodded: "Let's move on!"
Just like that, the group continued on the road, heading towards the field hospital. As it gradually approaches the base of the Eighth Route Army here. It is also becoming more and more safe. Sometimes, when looking at the farmers who are busy farming on the road, the soldiers will greet them. Seeing this situation, Major Kromlin is also very curious.
This phenomenon has never been seen in the Kuomintang troops. The Eighth Route Army's ability to open up such a vast battlefield behind enemy lines is inseparable from their policy. They and the common people have become one with the current situation. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
