Papa, the sound was crisp and continuous. After Wang Jinming installed the ak11, he shot several more experimentally. The result was of course satisfying everyone. Jiang Baili was interested in the firepower projection ability of the gun, and Cai E was concerned about its price and asked: "The performance of ak11 is so good, what about the price?"

As the most basic firearm in the army, there are the largest number in any army. Generally, there are many people in a unit, and there are basically as many guns as there are not many differences. For some special troops, plus some spare guns for replacement, this number is almost the same...23

When the Guangxi New Army was established, although he was not a major participant, he also knew that due to the rifle problem, he found many companies and finally found the German and American foreign companies. He only got the second-hand committee 1888 for a price of 52 yuan per sold. This gun, regardless of its strength in all aspects, should be above the committee 1888. If the price is too high, no one will afford it.

"The purchase price of Baotou Xinjun is 12 yuan!"

"12 yuan?" Cai E couldn't say a word now. The obvious performance of this gun is above the committee's 1888. Why is it so cheap? Cai E even asked: "Is it a pound?"

Wang Jinming's answer was the same calm: "It's not pound, it's silver dollars, it's also the eagle-yang!"

"This is impossible, what about the previous equipment committee 1888?"

"That, only 9 yuan!"

"9 yuan!" Cai E's heart seemed to have been trampled by 100,000 alpacas. They bought 52 yuan, or a second-hand one. It's only 9 yuan here. Is this kidding?

"The guns in the Asian market are high. Without three to five times the profit, how can we sell them? What we get is a fixed amount of profit. Of course, if the replacement is still handed over to the military factory for sale, a part of the cost will be refunded!"

"Songpo, don't say it anymore, this is normal in the world. A committee 1888, the ex-factory price of German foreign companies is around US$18, but the purchase price of the German Army will be reduced to about US$9. This is the difference. In Asia, it is almost impossible to produce its own products, so the price will be much higher!" Jiang Baili interrupted Cai E and said, "Are there any other products besides these?"

"Yes. Have you seen that the Maxim over there is also a new product from the Machinery Bureau. It was modified based on the original Maxim."

If you talk about rifles, you still surprised everyone slightly. You should know that Jiangnan Machinery Bureau and Tianjin Machinery Bureau can produce rifles, and the quality is still good. It is a little worse than the original ones, and it can also be used. However, the production volume is limited, and many parts still need to be imported, which has little impact on foreign products. Not only do you have two rifles, but even Maxim can produce them by yourself. What does this mean? Baotou is no longer an ordinary industrial base in the original meaning, but it already has the foundation of heavy industry.

Jiang Baili walked to Maxim in three steps and two steps. Sure enough, the same-looking Maxim was very different from the ordinary Maxim. It seemed that the steel was like a rifle, and the barrel was slightly strengthened and slightly longer. Overall, it was relatively thinner. When the Maxim was gently tapped, it was crisp and solid. Obviously, the quality of this Maxim was good.

Yan Xishan was very clear about the data of the entire Maxim and quickly introduced: "The new Maxim has a range of about 50 meters more than the original Maxim. The range has not changed much, but the reliability has been greatly increased. The original barrel can fire up to 1,500 bullets, and now it can fire 2,800 rounds, which is almost doubled."

The bullets that can be fired by the barrel are a hard indicator. The raw materials of some of the weapons imitated in China are a big problem. Compared with the original weapons, the performance indicators have been quite reduced. The lifespan of the imitated Maxim is only about one-third of the original foreign country. In this way, it is a difference of more than several times.

In Baotou, this is obviously different. All indicators seem to have improved on the original basis. Don’t underestimate the difference between this 1,300 rounds of bullets. On the battlefield, this represents the time of more than twice the firepower suppression. After continuous firing, Maxim needs to change the barrel. At this time, this Maxim is equivalent to being scrapped to a certain extent, but by about half of the time, to a certain extent, the barrel can be replaced more calmly and reasonably arranged, which represents the improvement of the strength of the weapon.

"The most important thing is that the weight of this Maxim is 10 kilograms lighter and can be disassembled. The caliber has been adjusted, from 7.9 to 7.0, which is the same as the caliber of our AK11 rifle, and the bullets are also universal." Yan Xishan continued to introduce.

Jiang Baili's eyes lit up. As a heavy machine gun, it is inconvenient to move. This is a flaw of the heavy machine gun. To a certain extent, Maxim's weight reduction represents the increase in the number of bullets that the Maxim team can carry. Not to mention how many more bullets it can carry in these 10 kilograms, just say that the bullets have been changed from 7.9 to 7.0. The number of bullets that the combat team can carry has increased by one 7. This is a significant improvement for heavy machine guns, and it can be disassembled so that Maxim, which can only be lifted by three or four people, can be divided into different parts. When crossing the rugged road with Chinese characteristics, its maneuverability and travel speed will increase a lot. This is definitely a stroke of magic for a unit.

"There have also been changed here!" Cai E finally came to his senses and observed Maxim carefully. He noticed that the Maxim's bullet links were changed to metal bullet links. The number of bullets in each bullet link was reduced, but the stability and firing speed were also improved to a certain extent. I know this without introducing it.

With a sigh, Jiang Baili let out a long sigh. Before coming to Baotou, he felt that China had no industry, but now, he found out that he was wrong. It was not that China did not have talented people, but because there was no condition for producing talented people. When a system was suitable for this, everything was natural. A rifle in the world can be said to be the most advanced rifle, at least the most suitable rifle for Orientals. A Maxim with increased strength, can be produced both rifle and machine gun. From this perspective, how will the entire army be improved?

"By the way, is the production of these guns large?" Zhang Xiaohuai, who had not spoken much, suddenly asked in an interrogation. He also asked the key point: whether a gun can be popularized or reduced the price. The key lies in speed. No matter how good the performance of weapons that cannot be mass-produced, they cannot be equipped with the army. After all, the army is a team combat and is based on quantity.

"Big, this production volume is really not small. We have five of them in total. Now, from this rifle, we have replaced our first division with three-quarters!"

"Three quarters changed?"

"How many people are you a teacher?"

"About 20,000 people, our platoon, company, battalion, and regiment are basically in the three-three system, but at the division level, it is the smallest independent combat unit, plus the special artillery regiment, heavy machine gun regiment, and logistics regiment, which are usually seven to eight regiment-level units!" Wang Jinming was afraid that he would not understand, so he said in detail.

During this period, Cai E quietly asked Yan Xishan. After Yan Xishan gave him a number, Cai E's face changed and he could no longer say anything.

Jiang Baili was very familiar with Cai E. This classmate had the style of a general, and few things could shock him so much. After pulling him, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you know, how long it took to be replaced? This weapon has only been less than 20 days since it was set to now. 15,000 rifles and 700 Maxim were replaced in 20 days."

700 sirs, Jiang Baili was also stunned. A new army division, in his sense that it was already good to have a Maxim of one or two hundred sirs. Unexpectedly, there were 700 sirs, which was only three quarters. Could it be that the entire new army, the number of Maxim of the first division, exceeded 1,000 sirs? This firepower is probably not so dense. (Real history, in the early stage of the German army, Maxim of a division, was only a few dozen sirs. In the battle, with the increasing role of machine guns, the number of light and heavy machine guns of each division of the German army reached nearly a thousand sirs. Yang Yuanzhao didn’t know what the German army was doing, so he got it right in one step. He knew very well that automatic firearms were improving the combat effectiveness of an army, so the firepower was almost arranged to the first level of the platoon, and some even popularized to the squad.)

Cai E and others, in their hearts, have already improved the combat effectiveness of the new army as much as possible, but they did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the new army is still above his imagination. Such an army really has no problem in confronting any Chinese army, one-on-one, or even one-on-two. Not to mention Beiyang, they are even much stronger than the Seventh German Army where Jiang Baili once stayed.

Next, Cai E and others were shocked one after another, four training camps. They saw a lot of novel things. Not to mention the Chinese team, the Japanese army, and even the German army, these targeted trainings were fascinated by Cai E who had actually performed them. You must know that these two completely different concepts are aimed at the trained soldiers and those who have not trained. These almost take into account the various situations on the battlefield. After special training, the soldiers will not have any problems when they go to the battlefield.

Step by step, Cai E and the others have already increased the combat effectiveness of the new army again and again. With the current strength of a division in the new army, it is no problem to fight against two or three towns in Beiyang. If there is another batch of heavy artillery, it is probably no problem to come to the three or five towns in Beiyang. Before Cai E asked, Sun Yue saw that the training ground here had been visited, and said, "Three seniors, it happens that our New Army Artillery Corps has training today. Why don't you go and have a look together."

"Architecture regiment, and artillery regiment?"

Wang Jinming nodded softly and said, "The artillery regiment trains every day, and today we go and see it in real ammunition!" Cai E and the other two all lit up their eyes and nodded immediately and said, "Okay, go and see!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
