Chapter 805: Anti-tank rifles


Zhang Wei walked over and saw the "never-before-seen" weapon in He Kun's mouth.

The weapon lay in a long tin case, and the slender body, the dark barrel, the heavy plug-in magazine, the angular stock and handle, the left front sight and the door, the wooden butt baseplate, the down-curved grip, and the buckle were all shaped, making this weapon look extremely peculiar.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a Czech light machine gun, with a row of English and Arabic numerals on top of the loading case: Boysantitank 9 In the ammunition box on the side, there are hundreds of golden bullets, the caliber of the bullets is almost larger than all the guns in the national army's equipment sequence, there are children's arms, the bottom of the thick bullet has a layer of cartridge belt, the bullet head is close to silver, the bullet box is divided into a large number of grids, each of which has a bullet fixed in it, and in the ammunition box, there are also some things that are suspected of shooting tables.

They didn't recognize He Kun with this gun, but Zhang Wei recognized it, and like Bren and Lee Enfield, it was also British equipment.

It was the British-made Boyence anti-tank gun Although Zhang Wei recognized, this kind of anti-tank gun was not famous in World War II, and it was also very embarrassing among many anti-tank weapons, and it was an unpopular weapon, produced in the Royal Small Arms Arsenal in Enfield, England, and equipped with the British Army as an anti-tank weapon, with a caliber of 139 mm.

The bottom belt type armor-piercing bullet, the bullet is a hard steel core of the armor lead bullet.

The whole gun weighs 1632 kg, the ammunition supply is a five-round magazine, and at a range of 100 meters, it has a penetration power of 23 mm of armor at a zero degree angle, and at a range of 200 meters, it has a penetration power of 20 mm at a zero degree angle.

After the British army was equipped with the gun, it was sent to the infantry company platoon at the grassroots level to attack tank armored vehicles and fire points, in the early days of World War II, the German tanks were still mostly light tanks such as No. 1, and the Bo Yin Si could still be useful, and could achieve a lot of results, beating the thin skin tank, however, with the upgrading of the German tank, the armor thickness gradually increased, the Bo Yin Si anti-tank gun on the battlefield then looked very chicken, fighting and tickling in general, the attack effect was far inferior to the anti-tank gun and anti-tank projectile, so, hastily withdrew from the front line and was withdrawn in large quantities.

The Germans captured a lot of boynes anti-tank guns on the European battlefield, and they also abandoned them, thinking that the gun was useless waste, and this is indeed the case, in the European battlefield, this thing can't beat tanks, the weight is still large, and there is no need for this guy to attack fortifications, and there are flat-fire guns at the firing point, and there is no need for this guy, and the front-line troops of the British army have nothing other use than to increase the combat load, so they can only be withdrawn.

The British troops in the Far East are also equipped with a certain number of boyins anti-tank guns, don't look at this gun in Europe, but thanks to the lower combat intensity and combat intensity of the Asian battlefield, boyins get the Far East, but it is very easy to use, especially for the national army that is extremely lacking in anti-tank weapons and peace-firing firepower, 13.9 mm guns and bullets are more than enough to hit Japan's thin-skinned tanks and fortifications.

The gun had considerable lethality against civil fortifications and pillboxes.

If a large number of these things are put on the domestic battlefield, then the Japanese bean chariots, light chariots and armored vehicles rampant on the Chinese battlefield will inevitably not have a good life, and the troops fighting in the battlefield behind the enemy line will probably be in fear if they get Boyinsi, then the artillery towers in the Japanese blockade area will probably be in fear all day long.

In Europe, Boyence is a chicken rib, but in the Asian theater where firepower is weak, it is a panacea.

Zhang Wei didn't expect that Hou Teng was going to have a Bo Yin Si anti-tank gun among the weapons he was going to come, and it was a thief enough to fight the Japanese army with this thing, attacking the Japanese army in Burma, Zhang Wei now can't remember whether the fallen ground is equipped with tanks and armored forces, but he can be sure that even if there is a scale, it will not be too much.

These six anti-tank guns are enough to build an effective anti-tank firepower network for the whole regiment, and they can also be used as offensive firepower if necessary, even if they directly use this thing to hit people, Zhang Wei didn't mind at all, and the 139 mm anti-tank armor-piercing bullet hit the person and hummed It can be said that among this batch of equipment, the six Boyence anti-tank guns are the most valuable.

"Commander, what kind of gun is this, why is it so big" He Kun scratched his head and asked.

Zhang Wei: "Fighting tanks, the caliber is 13.9 mm, hitting people can break people in half, the usage is similar to that of rifles, one shot is back and one shot, inserted in it is a magazine, which can be loaded with five rounds at a time, the British can't beat this tank that fights the Germans, just give it to us, those thin-skinned tanks of the devils are very brittle, and they can be chiseled with two or three shots with anti-tank guns." ” He Kun looked at the thick bullet, and when he thought of the scene of the bullet hitting the human body, there was suddenly a cold whirring behind him, and a swishing feeling came.

"We've never used such a big bullet, and we're almost catching up with the 20 cannon."

Zheng Yiqun said.

Indeed, the current light and heavy machine guns and rifles of the national army are all 79 caliber, and there are almost no large-caliber machine guns, while the caliber of Bo Yin Si is 13.9 millimeters, which can also be said to be point 55 caliber, compared with it, the 79-step machine gun is a bunch of small water pipes.

"Then who is this thing for, six is not much, and it is easy to use, but this is also too big, a gun has to be served by several people, there are six, let alone a platoon, where do we have manpower now" Zhang Wei said: "Since this gun has fallen into our hands, we can't let them eat ashes, we must use them, otherwise I'm sorry for the wine I just drunk, I have my own plan for specific usage, He Kun, you first take someone to count the specific models and numbers of this batch of weapons and equipment, and report them to me."

The soldiers of the baggage company immediately began to count, and ten minutes later, He Kun reported to Zhang Wei the model and total quantity of this batch of equipment.

The weapons that Hou Teng applied for from the British army were: 150 Lee Enfield rifles, 150 Thomson submachine guns, 18 Bulun light machine guns, 6 Boys anti-tank guns, 2,000 British Mills Egg grenades, 100,000 rounds of 7.7 caliber rifle cartridges, 70,000 rounds of 11.43 mm submachine gun rounds, 1,300 rounds of Boynes anti-tank rifle rounds, 170 bayonets of Enfield rifles, and 150 grenade launchers for use on Lee Enfield rifles. and two hundred sets of carrying gear for the Lee Enfield rifle cartridge.

This is the result of Zhang Wei's wine in exchange, and it is also the first batch of supplementary equipment obtained by the Second Regiment in Burma. :。
