There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 142
"Da da da da..."

There is no need to aim, just lower the muzzle of the gun slightly, facing the cavalry on the horse.The machine gun spewed out a tongue of flame, and countless bullets poured out from the muzzle.Li Chu held his breath, his whole body trembling due to the recoil from the machine gun.

The group of cavalry who charged up first didn't even have time to react, they were instantly shot and exploded.

The arms were knocked off, the chest was smashed, the heart was blown off, and some heads were also blown off.

Countless blood mist burst out, like dumplings being dropped. In just one breath, the more than 30 riders who first rushed up fell off their horses in an instant, and no one was left.

In the air, there is a blood mist burst by the huge design force.

The horse was frightened and ran around.

On the ground, there were corpses all over the place, none of them humanoid. Some were lucky and only received one bullet, while some were unlucky and their whole bodies were turned into pulp by armor-piercing bullets fired at high speed.

On the anti-aircraft machine gun, all the bullets were fired.

Li Chu quickly got back into the tank, quickly grabbed a few ammunition chains from a wooden box at the loader's position and put them on his body. He quickly got out again and put a ammunition chain back on the anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Da da da da..."

The time was too short for these cavalrymen to react at all. In addition, the targets were all staring at Li Chu, and they did not look at their teammates for a while.By the time the group of cavalry realized something was wrong, Li Chu's bullets had been reloaded.

The anti-aircraft machine guns spit out tongues of fire again.

While strafing and turning the machine gun, this group of cavalry who rushed over could not dodge at all, and were directly shot by the machine gun bullets.

Clouds of blood mist burst out from their bodies, and holes were punched out one after another, especially the few riders who rushed to the front, flying directly from the horse to the horse.

How did the power of the machine gun change?

This time the machine gun fire was not as powerful as before. The bullet hit the cavalry, but only made a blood hole, and it didn't have the smashing effect of the previous bullet.

what happened?

Li Chu didn't have time to think, so he kept pulling the trigger.

Another round of bullets was used up, and the front of the tank was cleared. Except for the horse that lost its knight, no cavalry could be seen directly in front of the tank.

It wasn't until this moment that this group of cavalry reacted in horror.Seeing the river of blood in front of the tank, it was simply hell. I quickly turned the horse's head, turned around and ran back.

Different from the previous cavalryman, this cavalryman's equestrian skills and quality are obviously higher. When he saw that something was wrong, he didn't tighten the reins and brake. Instead, he moved to the side of the horse and forced the horse to go Take a sharp turn in the other direction.

When more than 300 riders rushed over, they immediately spread out to both sides.

Li Chu reloaded the belt again and turned the machine gun around.

Each chain has 100 rounds of ammunition. In the two chains just now, Li Chu has already destroyed more than 150 rounds. Looking at the lonely horse on the ground, there are probably more than 70 horses, which means that at least 70 people have been killed just now. .

The cavalry came and went like the wind, and by the time Li Chu turned the machine guns around, most of them had fled to the sides.

"Da da da da."

Although many cavalry fled, there were still some cavalry who couldn't see the front. When they wanted to turn around, it was too late, and they galloped past the tank directly. The bullets spit out by the machine gun at high speed directly burst into blood one after another Hole.

This was the time when Li Chu's marksmanship was at its most accurate. Almost every cavalryman whizzing past the tank was hit by several bullets. After running a few steps, he fell off his horse and fell to the ground dead.

Another bullet chain was fired, and all the cavalry near the tank had been dismounted, and the rest had already fled for some distance in a hurry.

Oh shit.

Li Chu installed the last ammunition chain on his body on the machine gun, raised the muzzle a little, and fired again at the fleeing cavalry, who were still within the range of the machine gun.

The bullet belt was stripped off, and Li Chu's hands were numb from the shock.

The effect of these one hundred shots was very poor, and the hit rate was a bit low. Only twenty or thirty horses were hit, and several times the horse was also hit, and the rider fell into a pool of blood together with the rider.

Li Chu stood on the tank, breathing heavily.

After recalling it, the old general Song Ting was not among the cavalry that was shot just now.

At first, Li Chu planned to kill him first, but when he touched the machine gun, it was too late, so he could only sweep the cavalry rushing over, and he forgot about this old thing.

At this moment, it is estimated that this old thing is already far away.

After waiting for a while, he stood on the turret and looked at the fleeing cavalry. The distance was too far, and he couldn't catch up.He turned around and waved in the direction of the city tower, Ning Rong immediately understood and rushed over with his soldiers.

Li Chu got back into the tank again, and took the ammunition belt again to load the anti-aircraft machine gun.

Only then did he discover that there were several wooden boxes for the bullet chains, and the English letters written on the wooden boxes were different. After opening them one by one, the bullet chains inside looked similar, with the same size, shape, and color. .

After counting the number, there are currently 50 ammunition chains left in the tank.

A bomb battery is one hundred rounds, that is to say, there are five thousand rounds left here.

Li Chu:......

Last time, when Li Chu was looking for the magazines for the assault rifle, he didn't find these boxes of ammunition chains. Li Chu didn't expect that the machine gun had so many bullets, up to nearly [-] rounds.

But soon, Li Chu discovered another problem.

The number of English printed on the wooden box with the ammunition chain is the same in two different English.

Five thousand hairs each.

No, one has 650 rounds, and the other has [-] rounds.

This amount confused Li Chu.

But soon, Li Chu found another bullet chain.

This belt was found at the gunner, placed in the parallel machine gun next to the barrel.

Understood.

It turned out that when Li Chu saw this side-by-side machine gun, Li Chu understood that when he was shooting just now, the bullets fired from behind were not as powerful as the bullets in the front chain, and the number of bullets in this magazine was different.

If the ammunition chain on the parallel machine gun is included, and the five magazines consumed are added, the total number of rounds of ammunition in the tank is actually [-] rounds, and the two different English words on the wooden box Then it means two different ammunition.

One is armor-piercing ammunition for anti-aircraft machine guns, with 750 rounds.

One is ordinary bullets for parallel machine guns, and there are also 750 rounds.

Later, Li Chu loaded the anti-aircraft machine gun with ordinary machine gun bullets, so the power drop was not as shocking as armor-piercing bullets.

In the Leopard 1 tank, the models of the parallel machine gun and the anti-aircraft machine gun are the same, both belong to the German MG3 general-purpose type, and the bullet specifications of the two are also the same, both of which are 7.62mm and can be mixed with machine gun ammunition.

As for the reason, it has to do with logistical issues during World War II. Unifying the caliber can reduce costs. Second, it can enhance the compatibility of bullets. One shot can be used for multiple bullets, so that the bullets cannot be replenished. Third, it can be faster. Produce more bullets to deliver to the battlefield.

After Ning Rong rushed over with his men, he didn't need Li Chu's instructions. He looked at the horses wandering nearby and immediately led his men to arrest them.

Horses, this is the basis of his cavalry.

Ning Rong worked harder than anyone else.
