Chapter 37 Heavy Machine Gun Test

Soon, Wang Tiezhu organized an expert jury.

This time, the military specially sent people to participate in the expert review panel. After all, the weapons and equipment developed are intended to be used on the battlefield and must be tested on the battlefield.

Only weapons and equipment that have been tested on the battlefield are qualified.

Furthermore, the outstanding performance of Panshan Machinery Factory is also worthy of the military’s expectations.

This time, the military representative was the division commander ‘Liu Changyou’ from the 40th Division. Of course, he didn’t just come alone, but came to the Panshan Machinery Factory with a company.

To this day, the militiamen of Panshan Machinery Factory still remain, and the entire Panshan militia battalion still maintains combat training and is ready for war at any time.

Liu Changyou arrived at Panshan Machinery Factory in advance to review the Panshan Militia Camp.

In the open space, the Panshan militia battalion was arranged according to the company lineup, with four militia companies, each equipped with weapons.

First come first served basis. As the militia battalion of the Panshan Machinery Factory, the Panshan Militia Battalion is equipped with 'Type 78' pistols, 'Type 78' automatic rifles, and 'Type 78' squad machine guns.

Liu Changyou looked at the well-equipped weapons and equipment of the Panshan Militia Battalion, and murmured to himself that apart from the lack of heavy weapons, in terms of firearms and equipment alone, many frontline troops could not compare with the Panshan Militia Battalion.

"Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, Chief!"

"Good job, comrades!"

"Serve the people!"

Liu Changyou inspected the Panshan Militia Battalion, and the Panshan Militia Battalion responded loudly.

After inspecting the Panshan militia camp, Liu Changyou said to Liu Tao: "Director Liu, your factory militia has done a good job. This can be brought to the battlefield for fighting!"

"Commander, our Panshan Militia Battalion follows wartime training and is ready to go to the battlefield at any time!" Liu Tao said.

Even now, the Panshan Militia Battalion is still responsible for the defense work in the surrounding area, and the 119th Regiment has not yet returned to its base.

"Very good!" Liu Changyou nodded with approval.

Although Liu Tao is young, he is young and promising. He has developed four firearms in a short period of time.

Nowadays, heavy machine guns have been developed. You must know that the army team highly values ​​the heavy firepower of individual soldiers. The Type 53 heavy machine gun and Type 67 light and heavy dual-purpose machine gun currently equipped can only be regarded as makeshift.

If Liu Tao really comes up with a heavy machine gun, the heavy firepower of the infantry will be greatly improved.

Near noon, Wang Tiezhu and others finally arrived at Panshan Machinery Factory.

There was no rush to conduct the review. Everyone drank water first. After taking a short rest, Liu Tao took everyone to the cafeteria.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining high.

At the shooting range, Liu Tao came here with a team of experts. At this time, four '78-type' heavy machine guns were already placed.

Originally, it was supposed to be in the conference room where Liu Tao first introduced the development of the 'Type 78' heavy machine gun. However, Liu Changyou proposed to test it first, so he came to the shooting range.

The first is a distance test. The first is a 1,000-meter distance test. This 1,000 meters is already the maximum range of the Type 67 light-heavy dual-purpose machine gun.

"Da da da~~"

A militiaman was manipulating a 'Type 78' heavy machine gun. The heavy machine gun was spitting out flames. The firepower was shocking.

A target was torn into pieces.

1000 meters, 1200 meters, 1400 meters, 1500 meters, 1600 meters. It is not until the distance of 2000 meters that the accuracy drops.

Effective range 2000 meters!

Everyone looked shocked. This effective range was already twice that of the Type 67 light and heavy dual-purpose machine gun.

The increase in effective range means that it can better kill enemies.

And when the armor-piercing ability was tested, everyone couldn't help but gasped when they saw a thick steel plate being penetrated by shooting at a steel plate from a distance of 500 meters.

This means that on the battlefield, if the enemy hides behind a brick wall, he will be shot!

And this is just an ordinary 12.7mm bullet, not an armor-piercing bullet!

There is no doubt that if this gun is hit on the body, then one shot will enter the soul, two shots will 'ascend to the sky', three shots will 'spell the soul away', and the continuous shooting will directly return to the universe!

On the battlefield, even if he was wearing a body armor, he would inevitably die if he was hit by this heavy machine gun.

Wang Tiezhu swallowed hard as he looked at the penetrated steel plate.

The power of this heavy machine gun is really terrifying.

This is simply a killer weapon on the battlefield. If a squad is equipped with one of this heavy machine gun, the firepower will be doubled.

If such a heavy machine gun is set up on a fortification, without tanks, the enemy's casualties may be doubled.

A 12.7mm bullet that big can penetrate a steel plate, and even an armored vehicle probably won't be able to stop it!

Sure enough, when the armor-piercing bullets were used, the power made Liu Changyou's scalp numb.

"Comrade Liu Tao is indeed a genius in firearms. He can develop such a powerful heavy machine gun, and soldiers can advance on the battlefield by carrying it." Liu Changyou led the 40th Division this time and had outstanding skills on the battlefield. Performance, as a Category A infantry division, it is the first to change equipment and start training, which makes the 40th Infantry Division's combat effectiveness significantly higher than that of its brother units.

In this military operation 'Roar of the Red Dragon', the 40th Division achieved the greatest results but the smallest casualties.

As a commander, he is more aware of the power of this heavy machine gun.

If a heavy machine gun is too heavy, the roads will be inconvenient, it will be difficult to transport, and it will not reach the battlefield. No matter how powerful the heavy machine gun is, it will be useless.

Heavy machine guns can only exert their greatest power on the battlefield.

One of the characteristics of the 'Type 78' heavy machine gun is that it is light. One person can carry the machine gun forward. It will be even easier if the gun body and gun frame are separated.

This is simply a movable heavy firepower point.

Not to mention the 'Type 78' heavy machine gun's effective range of up to 2,000 meters and its huge power.

Equipped with armor-piercing bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets and other special bullets, they are extremely powerful!

This reminded Liu Changyou of the achievements of those snipers armed with "Type 78" heavy sniper rifles during the "Red Dragon's Roar" military operation.

In addition to hunting down high-value officers and generals, these snipers also used special bullets to shoot at armored vehicles and armed helicopters, making a lot of gains.

Unless it is a very advanced tank, a normal armored vehicle will basically be scrapped if it is hit by a bullet from the 'Type 78' heavy sniper rifle.

Part of the 40th Division's results came from snipers.

"If the 40th Division is equipped with this heavy machine gun, the firepower can be improved to another level!" Liu Changyou's heart became excited.

Fear of insufficient firepower is common in the military.

Liu Changyou also suffers from the 'fear of insufficient firepower'. He wishes that his troops would have stronger firepower, the better!

At this time, Liu Changyou had already made up his mind. As long as the review was passed, he would use the division's funds to take the lead in purchasing a batch of 'Type 78' heavy machine guns, even if the entire division had to cut back on clothing and food.

After all, compared with the heavy machine guns currently equipped by the army, the performance of the '78' heavy machine gun is so excellent that the two are simply a generation behind.

Besides, Panshan Machinery Factory is still a military factory within its jurisdiction, so it can be more preferential than other purchases.
