The Third Reich in Desperation

All the observers nodded and praised, the precision shooter and the machine gun cooperated in combat.This is no longer simply one plus one equals two, the combination of the two increases the combat effectiveness for a while, which is incalculable!

The emergence of accurate shooters will completely change the German infantry squad tactics!

After receiving the G43 rifle that was passed around and returned to his hand, Rashid picked up the gun, glanced at the distance, and continued to add:

"Because the g43 is fed with 10 rounds of magazines, and the shell is ejected sideways, it is easy to install a scope on the gun body. Moreover, the 10 rounds of ammunition capacity has unparalleled firepower persistence for accurate shooting. Although the scope magnification It is not as good as our previous Mauser 98k sniper rifle, but the 3x lens can better match the G43 semi-automatic rifle to deliver accurate and rapid firepower delivery. As for the convenience of mass production, it is reduced to a smaller magnification, but it can In exchange for precision shooters, a larger field of view in the scope allows them to find and lock on the target faster. This is especially important in short-range street fighting!"

Street warfare is generally also called urban warfare, because street warfare is a street-by-street, house-to-house battle that usually takes place in cities or large villages.Its salient features are the first hand-to-hand combat between the enemy and the enemy, hand-to-hand combat, and great cruelty.The second is that the enemy and the enemy are mixed and intertwined, which is highly dangerous.

In this combat mode, it would be difficult to rely solely on snipers for support.As for precision shooters, intermediate products between snipers and ordinary soldiers, although it is difficult to do long-range sniping like snipers, in the specific environment of street fighting with hand-to-hand combat, its role is not inferior to that of snipers at all!

After speaking, Rashid motioned for the infantry squad to line up.Since then, the equipment introduction of the regular infantry squad has come to an end.

Just when the generals and marshals thought that this was the end, there was still something to say.Rasheed, like a magician who can always conjure surprises, called out a four-man combat team from the queue.

Among them, one of them was armed with an mp submachine gun, while the other three held a strange weapon, a bit like a flare gun familiar to generals, but it was much larger than the flare gun.

In this battle group, everyone wore a canvas vest, which was covered with ammunition like a large shotgun shotgun, a weapon that no one present had ever seen.

At this time, Rashid proudly pointed to their "flare gun" and said: "This is a 40mm grenade launcher. The idea comes from our flare gun. After all, as early as in previous battles, our soldiers This kind of weapon, which is mainly used to launch signal flares, is often used to launch grenades to destroy targets. And because our observation team got a batch of Japanese-made 50 grenade samples after the outbreak of the Nomenkan Battle in the Far East. After research, we found that the Japanese army’s The high and low pressure ammunition is very interesting, so I borrowed it."

Chapter 267 Why don't you guys laugh?

"Because the Far East Observation Group said that it was difficult to aim the Japanese-made grenade, and the hit rate depended entirely on the experience of the shooter, so we fused it with the flare gun to get a 40mm, which can be fired against the shoulder. It can be aimed with a mechanical sight and can be accurately attacked. 180-meter point target, 350-meter surface target weapon." Rashid took a 40mm grenade launcher and fiddled with it: "With this, our soldiers can use smoke bombs to guide the target like a flare gun, guide the shelling and Air strikes can also launch anti-personnel grenades to attack enemy soldiers. In addition, it can also launch white phosphorus bombs and armor-piercing bombs part-time.”

The white phosphorous bomb is an extremely dangerous and terrifying incendiary bomb. Once it touches the skin, it is difficult to remove in time. In addition, the burning temperature is extremely high, and it can even burn into the bone.At the same time, the phosphorus vapor produced by it has secondary harm hazards, which can cause bronchitis, pneumonia and severe bone damage in large amounts of inhalers.

The armor-piercing shell has a thickness of 50mm and is generally used to attack light armored vehicles. For example, some weakly armored tanks can also be destroyed.

The generals present are very clear that when their army has this kind of multi-purpose weapon, the future combat effectiveness will increase exponentially!

Seeing everyone's anticipation for the new equipment, Rashid also smiled happily: "Actually, our infantry squad rarely acts alone in actual combat. Basically, several squads or several platoons cooperate to carry out company platoon operations." Level of action. Therefore, we plan to strengthen a 4-person 40-grenade group, two 40-grenade launchers in the infantry platoon, and a team leader and a deputy team leader hold 2 MP submachine guns for self-defense. By the way, carry some 40mm grenades for the whole team. Of course, they have special grenade vests, and a vest can be filled with grenades.”

"However..." Rashid paused, and finally said bluntly: "Originally, our designer hoped to use high-strength aluminum alloy as the barrel and the launch shell. However, due to the relatively high aluminum resources in our country, In short, steel can only be used. In this way, the ammunition of the grenade vest plus a launcher is a bit too heavy, and we can only work hard for our soldiers.”

"Not bad!" Reinhardt also added in a timely manner: "I hope that the imperial commanders present can seize enough resources for Germany as soon as possible to reduce the burden on the soldiers."

After listening, the generals fell into silence for a while.The head of state's words reminded them once again that Germany is still a small country with poor resources. If it can't work hard, it can only fall behind and perish.

Just when everyone was deep in thought, Reinhardt, who was serious for less than three seconds, quickly turned his high-spirited face into a little twitching: "I heard that the French have a lot of supplies, let's discuss it later. When did you take this batch of supplies..."

It was obviously a blood-boiling historic battle that determined the hegemony of the European continent, but how it came out of Reinhardt's mouth made everyone dumbfounded.

In your opinion, the battle between us and the old enemy of France has become a battle for supplies? !

In the end, it was Rashid who resolved the embarrassing atmosphere, changed the subject and continued to explain: "By the way, this 40 grenade launcher can completely change our previous tactics. It will make our future combat mode more portable and flexible. Accurate. This thing is much better than the original grenadier of the Japanese army. With it, our low-level combat units have no blank surface fire coverage from grenades to grenade launchers to mortars.”

One thing that Rashid didn't mention is that the grenade launcher, a mobile and flexible weapon, is also quite convenient and useful in street fighting.Among other things, the fact that it can accurately shoot grenades into buildings is enough to be called a street fighting weapon!This is not easy for mortars.

Regarding mortars, Rashid also talked about some: "The original 50mm mortars in our army all use retractable barrels. The design is complex and large, and the 50mm grenades are very powerful for mortars. The firepower of the gun is too weak, and the range is too short. As a support weapon for the platoon-level infantry unit, the 50mm mortar can be completely replaced by the 40mm grenade launcher."

Speaking of this, everyone has more or less guessed the following content.Sure enough, Rashid soon mentioned: "We plan to downsize part of the original 50mm mortars of each unit and replace them with 50mm grenade launchers to enhance their mobility. It can be equipped to some defense divisions on the border for defensive operations that do not require high mobility."

This method of weapon allocation is indeed perfect on paper. In addition, the mortars are not completely replaced, but only partially replaced, so even if problems are found in actual combat, they can be adjusted in time.

In addition to the replacement of mortars, Rashid also mentioned another point: "Also, in our original establishment, there was an anti-tank team whose main weapon was anti-tank guns, and they used the T-type anti-tank guns from the last war. gun."

Speaking of this, Rashid made a proper joke: "This anti-tank gun, 13mm caliber, is old...maybe older than our soldiers."

It has to be said that Rashid's joke is not very funny.Except for a Reinhardt who deliberately smirked to cater to him, basically no one else laughed.

"Laugh! Why don't you laugh?!" Realizing that he was the only one smirking for the sake of the atmosphere, Reinhardt immediately forced a group of generals to do stupid things: "I'm all laughing, which one of you still doesn't laugh?"

Raising his arms, Reinhard smiled and encouraged: "Come on, laugh, laugh. Let's all laugh together."

In the end, even Rashid, who was telling bad jokes, couldn't stand it any longer, and simply changed the topic and said: "Ahem...... I think the armored officers present should clearly know that the development of tanks in the future will definitely It will strengthen the armor, and it is conceivable that this kind of backward anti-tank gun can be used. In addition, we have developed a better anti-tank weapon (Iron Fist Bazooka), and borrowed it from the Japanese army in the Battle of Nomenkan in the Far East. Hands tested its reliability. So we went ahead and planned to remove this anti-tank group."

Regarding the existence of the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher, most of the top generals of the Wehrmacht know something about it.

Previously, the Tekken bazooka had always been a patented weapon of the SS.Unexpectedly, the Wehrmacht will be able to use it soon? !And it's on a large scale!

"As for the replaced anti-tank guns," Rashid added meticulously: "We will sell all of them to friendly countries such as Spain, Italy, Romania, and Finland. While enhancing their anti-tank capabilities, the 'waste utilization' Earn a fortune back."

Text Chapter 268 Explanation Completed

After speaking, Rashid let out another soldier in auspicious uniform.

Auspicious clothing, the name of this kind of camouflage clothing originated from a Scotsman named Auspicious.This kind of clothing is generally used by hunters to help them obtain camouflage in the forest to avoid being discovered by other people and animals.

Many army veterans present had experienced World War I, so they were all too familiar with this kind of individual camouflage.

The rifle carried by this soldier also has a scope like the previous precision shooters.

But when Rashid asked the soldiers to show his weapons, all the veterans still got a small surprise.

Because the rifle carried by the soldier is neither the G43 semi-automatic rifle equipped by his comrades-in-arms, nor the current mainstream rifle Mauser 98k.It's an old Type 98 rifle, the Mauser 1898 bolt-action rifle.

It can be said that all the officers over the age of 35 present, whether they are old marshals with gray hair or young and vigorous school officers, the first rifle they enlisted in the army was the old Mauser 98 rifle.

This is a classic of a generation, and it is also the feelings of German soldiers, but is it a bit inappropriate for it to appear at the moment when new weapons are displayed?

Looking at the confused crowd, Rashid smiled and explained to everyone: "Originally we wanted to equip a high-precision sniper rifle. The g43 rifle is not suitable for this kind of long-range shooting work because of its semi-automatic nature. And we What I planned to equip at the beginning was actually a Mauser 98k rifle.”

Since it was said that it was the initial plan, it is naturally different from the final decision now.Obviously, the army generals present were very curious about the reason.After all, it is too unreasonable to discard the new and use the old.

Rashid didn't give a shit, looked around everyone and said: "But everyone knows that the Mauser 98k is a short-barreled carbine, and its accuracy is weakened compared to the boss. So a researcher from the Light Weapons Design Bureau suggested that we simply use the long-barreled carbine. 98. Later we found the Mauser company and asked them to carefully customize a batch of Mauser 1898 bolt-action rifles. Due to the improvement of production technology, and we also made some small changes, the performance of the new batch of old guns was very impressive. Satisfied. With the Zeiss 6x lens, they can immediately become a sniper weapon, and can accurately hit the chest target at a distance of 500 meters!"

One thing that Rashid deliberately did not say is that after the "SS Wars against the Stormtroopers", a large number of old Mauser rifles used by the Stormtroopers were seized, that is, the old-fashioned Mauser G98.On the one hand, the frugal Reinhardt is unwilling to just throw these weapons aside, and on the other hand, in the large-scale military expansion that Germany is currently undergoing, various weapons are in short supply.

Therefore, Reinhardt always wanted to secretly compile these weapons into the new expansion, and proposed the method of producing some improved versions of G98 and stuffing them with the old version of G98 for the Wehrmacht.

Of course, Rashid is now picking and choosing, only mentioning the improved version and ignoring the hoarded seized version: "The most important thing is that the Mauser company is not satisfied with improving the old version of the rifle. A batch of high-precision bullets dedicated to sniping. In this way, the accuracy will be improved to a higher level. With it, our snipers will be even more powerful!"

The G98 rifle was originally famous for its safety, simplicity, sturdiness and reliability.It was only because the gun body was too long that it was inconvenient to use and carry, so a carbine with a shortened barrel was developed later.If it is only from the shooting accuracy, the Mauser G98 rifle will not be inferior to the improved version of the 98k.

Next, Rashid continued to add to the distribution of this sniper rifle: "As for the issue of the sniper organization, because we have the accurate shooters organized into the squad, we will position the sniper's mission to kill high-value targets. Go up and be incorporated into a company-level unit."

Eloquently, Rashid spent more than 20 minutes talking about the arrangement of many details.

After finally explaining almost the same, Rashid said with a long sigh of relief: "Now, this is the end of the introduction of the new SS infantry company. Next, we will demonstrate the coordination effects of various weapons for you at close range. Since our SS The army soldiers have just changed their costumes for a week, so please forgive me if there is any negligence."

"Understand, of course I understand." Reinhardt originally favored the SS, and immediately "helped" the generals of the Wehrmacht replied: "The capital understands, and everyone will certainly understand."

Everyone didn't bother to pay attention to Reinhardt's nonsense style, so they simply acquiesced.Besides, everyone's focus is on the next demonstration, who cares about this trivial dispute.

Therefore, after the order was issued, the new SS company of the exercise quickly carried out a simulated attack on a position.

This time, the commanders who were spectators were very close, and they could clearly see the battle process: 60mm mortars suppressed from the rear, and then machine guns began to suppress.After a period of time, the infantry began to charge towards the predetermined target with their semi-automatic rifles. On the way, the 40mm grenade launcher stopped and accurately projected 40mm red smoke bombs towards the set target that simulated the enemy's firepower.But if it is on a real battlefield, what they project will be deadly explosive shells.
