Chapter 1361 A new era (Part 2)

Although what he brought was a practical infantry squad light weapons configuration plan that has been proven in actual combat in the 21st century, that is, the combination of "assault rifle + precision marksman rifle or sniper rifle + squad machine gun".

But Malashenko is still a little worried. This weapon configuration plan that is useful in modern warfare may have other variables if it is directly applied in World War II.

Being easy to use in the future does not mean that it was easy to use in the past, because this is just a configuration plan for the future, not a piece of future equipment, at least it is not a piece of equipment that spans an era and is so large that it can directly defeat the opponent and defeat the entire equipment.

Comrade Political Commissar's rich experience is not limited to political and ideological work. Before going to the Party School to study and become a political commissar, he was also a grassroots commander who was promoted from an ordinary soldier.

With many years of military service and rich experience in working from the grassroots level in the past, the principle of "a family with an elder is like a treasure" is clearly stated here and couldn't be more obvious.

It is true that Malashenko can also realize that comrade political commissar is gradually letting himself take over more things, starting to slowly not intervene in major decisions, allowing himself to make decisions alone, and stepping up his efforts to cultivate his independent leadership ability. , prepare for what will happen after his death.

However, whether it is out of habit or other reasons.

Malashenko sincerely hopes that he can get help from his political commissar in this decision-making.

Worrying that the plan he made may go wrong is just one of the reasons. What Malashenko is more concerned about is the feeling of loneliness without any help. It's like something familiar that was by your side suddenly disappears one day.

Human hearts are fleshy and have all kinds of unspeakable complex emotions, even the hero of the Soviet Union Malashenko is no exception.

The relationship between Malashenko and the political commissar comrades has long reached the point where they know each other and are very familiar with each other.

Therefore, the political commissar can naturally see the little meaning hidden in Malashenko's words. To be more specific, he "understands and understands it very well."

This time, Comrade Political Commissar chose to do what Malashenko wanted. Not everything has to be done in a hurry and require the necessary results.

"If you're interested in this, um, assault rifle, that's the right name."

"If your description of the performance of this assault rifle is correct, then I think the solution and plan you have formulated are feasible.

"Although ordinary bolt-action rifles are accurate, they have obvious shortcomings in the rate of fire. It is difficult to suppress the enemy at medium and long distances and outside the effective range of submachine guns. I thought about a problem when I was a commander in a grassroots combat unit. , can we create a lighter and more portable light machine gun? Soldiers can solve this problem with one hand. "

"But unfortunately, I was just a deputy platoon commander at that time. My company commander reprimanded me and said, "Everyone should have a light machine gun. Such an idea should not even exist. It is extremely ridiculous!" ". That night I returned to the barracks, lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about things, and finally felt that maybe I was too whimsical, so I had such unrealistic ideas."

"Even now, I still can't forget that day, always."

Comrade Political Commissar's words were quite emotional, and Malashenko could see that this incident had indeed had a considerable impact on Comrade Political Commissar.

After bringing up the old events today, it seemed that the path that had not been realized a long time ago was being re-extensioned. Malashenko suddenly felt that he was even more looking forward to what Comrade Political Commissar would say next.

"Usual infantry squads need to be able to cope with various combat missions at near, medium and long distances. If its performance is real and reliable, then there will be no problem with crossfire and fire suppression at medium and short distances."

"You just said that you want to retain the configuration of bolt-action and semi-automatic sniper rifles. I agree with this. The precise long-range firepower of the rifle coupled with the long-range range firepower of the light machine gun can complete the firepower strike mission at long distances. Done.”

"In this way, there will be no problem at the three firefighting distances of near, middle and far. This is a more perfect firepower configuration plan. The important thing is that it can greatly increase the firepower density and rate of fire, and I think the shape of this magazine, use The ammunition should be more like machine gun and rifle ammunition, and its ballistic performance and shooting accuracy should be better than that of submachine guns. Am I right to say that? "

After a simple inspection, he could see so many things. After listening to what Comrade Political Commissar said, Malashenko instantly felt that he had asked the right person.

"Yes, although I haven't seen what the actual bullet looks like, this thing does use a brand-new ammunition."

"Shorter than the usual rifle sub-cartridges and longer than the submachine gun bullets, it is a pointed bullet, which can be called an "intermediate power rifle bullet." This kind of bullet is currently not in stock. I asked Kogin to let him Help me find a way to trial-produce a batch. He has much wider connections and connections than me. He also has old acquaintances at the Tula Arsenal. Since he agreed, he should be able to get it done. "

Karamov, who knew that Comrade Political Commissar and Comrade Division Commander were definitely going to talk, did not come in at all and kept standing outside. Malashenko was not afraid that a third person would hear what he said, and it was impossible for Comrade Political Commissar to do so. There is no harm in my mind, so I just open my mouth, but it doesn’t matter.

"So that's it. I always feel that it's a bit inappropriate for you to bring Ke Jing together to do this. The gamble is too big and too dangerous. To be serious, you are just kidding your own future."

"However, based on what I know about you, even if you decide to take a risk, you will have corresponding reasons and be fully prepared. I believe it will be the same this time. Then I have no reason to doubt the feasibility of your plan. Well, I hope everything goes well, Malashenko.”

"If it is as perfect as what we just talked about, then this is a brand new light weapon with epoch-making significance. Both intuition and experience tell me that it must be like this."

Comrade Political Commissar has already said this, and the personal emotions and profound meaning contained in it naturally need no more words. Malashenko, who understands all this, just nodded slightly and began to take the next step.

"Karamov, come in!"

Karamov, who was standing guard not far from the door and squatting in a corner smoking a cigarette, could of course hear Malashenko's shouts as he poked his head out of the tent and ran over quickly to the horse's door. In front of Rashenko.

"Comrade Commander, what else can you do?"
