Chapter 37 Heavy Machine Gun Test

Soon, Wang Tiezhu organized an expert review panel.

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

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

In addition, the excellent performance of Panshan Machinery Factory is also worth the military's expectations.

This time, the military representative was the commander of the 40th Division, Liu Changyou. Of course, he did not come alone, but brought a company to Panshan Machinery Factory.

To this day, the militia of Panshan Machinery Factory is still retained, and the entire Panshan militia battalion still maintains combat training and is ready to fight at any time.

Liu Changyou arrived at Panshan Machinery Factory in advance to inspect the Panshan militia battalion.

On the open ground, the Panshan militia battalion was arranged according to the company lineup, and four militia companies were equipped with weapons one by one.

The closer you are to the water, the sooner you get the moon. As the militia battalion of Panshan Machinery Factory, Panshan Militia Battalion is equipped with '78-type' pistols, '78-type' automatic rifles, and '78-type' squad machine guns.

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

"Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, commander!"

"Comrades, you have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

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

After inspecting the Panshan Militia Battalion, Liu Changyou said to Liu Tao: "Director Liu, your factory militia is doing well, and they can be pulled to the battlefield to fight!"

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

Even now, the defense of the surrounding area is still the responsibility of the Panshan Militia Battalion, and the 119th Regiment has not returned to the station.

"Very good!" Liu Changyou nodded and praised.

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

Now he has developed a heavy machine gun. You should know that the military team highly respects the heavy firepower of individual soldiers. The 53-type heavy machine gun and the 67-type light and heavy dual-purpose machine gun currently equipped can only be regarded as making do.

If Liu Tao really makes a heavy machine gun, it will greatly improve the heavy firepower of the infantry.

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

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

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

At the shooting range, Liu Tao brought the expert group here. At this time, four '78-type' heavy machine guns had been set up.

Originally, Liu Tao should have introduced the development of the '78-type' heavy machine gun in the conference room, but Liu Changyou suggested testing it first, so they came to the shooting range.

First, the distance test was carried out, starting with a 1,000-meter distance test, which was the maximum range of the 67-type light and heavy dual-purpose machine gun.

"Da Da Da~~"

A militiaman operated a '78-type' heavy machine gun, and the heavy machine gun was spewing flames. The fierce firepower was shocking.

A target was directly torn apart.

1,000 meters, 1,200 meters, 1,400 meters, 1,500 meters, 1,600 meters. It was not until the distance of 2,000 meters that the accuracy dropped.

Effective range 2,000 meters!

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

The increase in effective range means that the enemy can be killed better.

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

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

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

There is no doubt that if this gun hits the body, then "one shot into the soul", two shots "ascend to heaven", three shots "souls fly away", and continuous shooting can directly return to the universe!

On the battlefield, it is estimated that even if you are wearing a bulletproof vest, you will die if you are hit by this heavy machine gun.

Wang Tiezhu looked at the penetrated steel plate and swallowed hard.

The power of this heavy machine gun is really terrifying.

This is simply a killer on the battlefield. If a squad is equipped with one of this heavy machine guns, the firepower will increase exponentially.

If this heavy machine gun is set up in fortifications, if there is no tank, I am afraid that the enemy's casualties will increase exponentially.

Such a large 12.7mm bullet can penetrate steel plates, and even armored vehicles are unlikely to be able to stop it!

Sure enough, when the armor-piercing bullet was replaced, 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 the soldiers can carry it on the battlefield and move forward." Liu Changyou led the 40th Division this time and performed outstandingly on the battlefield. As a Type A infantry division, it was the first to change its equipment and start training, which made the combat effectiveness of the 40th Infantry Division significantly higher than that of its brother units.

In this "Red Dragon Roar" military operation, the 40th Division achieved the greatest results with the least casualties.

As a commander, he can better understand the power of this heavy machine gun.

If the heavy machine gun is too heavy, the road is inconvenient and it is difficult to transport. If it cannot reach the battlefield, no matter how powerful the heavy machine gun is, it will be useless.

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

One of the characteristics of the ‘Type 78’ heavy machine gun is that it is light, and one person can carry the machine gun forward. If the gun body and the gun frame are separated, it will be even easier.

This is simply a mobile heavy firepower point.

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

Equipped with special bullets such as armor-piercing bullets and armor-piercing incendiary bullets, it is extremely powerful!

This reminded Liu Changyou of the achievements of the snipers holding the ‘Type 78’ heavy sniper rifles in the ‘Red Dragon’ military operation.

In addition to hunting high-value officers and generals, these snipers also have special bullets to shoot armored vehicles and armed helicopters, and have made great 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 achievements came from snipers.

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

Fear of insufficient firepower is common in the army.

Liu Changyou also suffers from "fear of insufficient firepower". He hopes that his troops will have stronger firepower!

At this time, Liu Changyou has made up his mind. As long as the review is passed, he will use the funds of the division headquarters to purchase a batch of "Type 78" heavy machine guns first, even if the entire division has to cut back on food and clothing.

After all, compared with the heavy machine guns currently equipped by the troops, the performance of the "Type 78" heavy machine gun is too excellent. The two are simply a generation apart.

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