Chapter 1438 Heaven-Defying Rifle
"Brother Yu, isn't the Type 95 the most advanced rifle in the world? We've been using it for so many years, and we haven't seen any problems. How come there is an improved version of the Type 95?"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Jiang Xiaoyu asked in doubt.
"This was developed by me and military experts recently. Because it is an improved version of Type 95, it has just come out, and its specific application in actual combat is still unclear. Therefore, the superior needs an actual combat to verify this. The performance of the gun, and our Dragon Shark Squadron is the first batch of test targets, if it really proves that it is better than the existing Type 95, it will be sent to the whole army to promote it.”
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said sternly: "Comrades, this is because the superiors value our Dragon Shark Squadron, so they will delegate the first batch of test places to us. Therefore, I don't want to hear any discordant rumors from anyone again." Do you understand the voice?"
A few days ago, there was a voice in the army that the Dragon Shark Squadron should not be taken seriously by the leaders.
"Yes!"
Everyone looked solemn and shouted loudly.
"Xiaoyu, hand out the guns to everyone!"
"okay!"
After a while, every soldier in the Dragon Shark Squadron got the latest Type 95 rifle.
In order to verify the performance of the gun in actual operation, when every team member got the gun, Lu Yu immediately ordered that all the team members go for a 20-kilometer armed cross-country.
After finishing the order, Lu Yu turned his head to Balang and said, "Remember, the timing of this armed cross-country should be compared with the previous cross-country time!"
Faced with the sudden order of armed cross-country, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others were startled, but quickly reacted and returned to their respective teams immediately.
"One row, three minutes, hurry up and get ready! Get moving!"
"Second row, go, go, go!"
"Third platoon members, why are you still dawdling? Do you want to be shot?"
Three minutes later, more than a hundred people from the Dragon Shark Squadron had assembled, and with Lu Yu's order: "Let's go!"
Baron pressed the timer in his hand, and the second hand flew by.
"Lu Corps, is this armed cross-country different from usual? Why do we need to count the time?"
After the fully armed team set off, Balang glanced at the timer in his hand and was puzzled.
Lu Yu replied lightly: "The purpose of this armed cross-country is to test whether the newly improved Type 95 will affect our marching speed when it is put into actual combat. This is crucial to the future battlefield."
After all the members of the Lonza Squadron had run the 20-kilometer cross-country, the test results would come out.
In the absence of other equipment changes, only the new 95 rifle was replaced. The time measured this time was more than ten minutes less than the usual training.
Lu Yu was still very satisfied with this marching speed.
After measuring the first result, Lu Yu led the Dragon Shark Squadron to the training range.
Lu Yu stood in the center of the shooting range and commanded everyone to say: "Now, forty training bullets will be issued to each of you, and you will shoot the target as usual. In addition to the regular distance shooting target, an additional long-distance target target is added, which is 950 meters away. !"
After finishing speaking, he ordered the soldiers to set a fixed target at a position of 950 meters.
Hearing Lu Yu's words and watching the operation in front of him, everyone was stunned!
"I'll go! Did you make a mistake? 950 meters?"
"Isn't the effective range of the 95-type automatic rifle 500 meters? Is this kid kidding me? 950-meter target, use the rifle as a sniper rifle!"
"The captain is crazy! Who can hit it at such a distance?"
"Is the improved Type 95 really so powerful??"
Listening to everyone's discussion, even Xiang Yu was puzzled by Lu Yu's approach, and asked, "Captain, this...are we really going to do this? As far as I know, the most advanced automatic rifle in the world now has the longest effective range. It’s about 650 meters! This distance is the limit that automatic rifles can reach, and the target is 950 meters, isn’t the bullet flying early?”
Zhang Chong who was standing next to him shook his head and sighed secretly: "I see Xuan! Just these little bastards who have just entered the barracks, let alone 950 meters, if they are asked to hit 500 meters, most of them are probably unqualified! Play! Woolen cloth!"
Jiang Xiaoyu showed concern, and asked in disbelief, "Brother Yu, it's so far... Can you really hit it?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Have you ever seen me talk big?"
"Um... not at all!" Jiang Xiaoyu scratched her head.
"Okay, everyone is quiet. Now each squad will take turns to shoot, and the target reporter will make a record." Lu Yu began to order.
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"Squad 1 get ready, lie down!"
The recruits lay down on the ground with their guns in unison, aiming at the bullseye.
"shooting!"
bang bang bang...
A series of bullets was fired quickly.
"Second class prepares..."
All the members of the Dragon Shark Squadron and the new 95 rifles took turns to shoot in full swing in the training range.
After all the team members completed the shooting task, the target reporter quickly counted all the data and handed it over to Lu Yu as soon as possible.
After looking at the data on the statistical form, Lu Yu immediately handed it over to Jiang Xiaoyu and the others: "Let's take a look!"
Jiang Xiaoyu took the form in doubt, and everyone surrounded him, all of them exclaimed when they saw it.
"I'll go! What's the situation, when did the shooting level of these little bastards become so high?"
Zhang Chong exclaimed in disbelief: "On this 200-meter target, there are several 90-plus rings, which is too heaven-defying!"
After speaking, he rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe the authenticity of the data in front of him.
"That's right, you see, not only is the 200-meter target shooting performance much better than the previous training, the other 300-meter target and 500-meter target scores have also improved significantly, and some people have shot more than 70 rings at this distance The results are beyond the reach of ordinary veterans.”
Lu Yan stared at the data sheet and analyzed it carefully, his eyes flashed with splendor.
"That's not the point!"
Jiang Xiaoyu seemed to have discovered something, and said in a deep voice: "Look carefully, the farthest 950-meter target has been hit by someone. Although the number of rings is not high, it is enough to attract our attention."
Hearing what he said, everyone also realized this, and while they were delighted, they were also filled with horror from the depths of their hearts.
It turned out that Lu Yu was not lying. This newly developed and improved Type 95 rifle really surpassed the farthest limit and hit a target 950 meters away.
The whispered discussions of several people were also heard by the surrounding soldiers.
Everyone is happy too!
When they were shooting the last 950-meter target just now, because it was a long-distance target that was temporarily added, there was no scope.
Many people only rely on their intuition to shoot this shot, but they didn't expect that this shot can hit so far.
However, under such circumstances, there were still a few people who hit the target. Although they only scored below fifty rings, it was still a huge breakthrough.
In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it, but they can shoot such a long distance with a rifle!
