#110 - Zhang Dabiao was shocked
But that wasn't the end of it. Ren Zhong moved the gun and fired at the row of targets opposite him, one after another. The targets fell down at a rate of about 5 or 6 seconds each!
Although Ren Zhong's performance was a bit off the mark the first time he fired an AK, after Saiyid's demonstration and a lot of target practice, Ren Zhong had mastered certain marksmanship skills and almost never missed the target in Dala Town.
Now, the Type 56 SKS had less recoil and higher accuracy compared to the AK, making it a real pleasure to shoot these human-shaped targets.
While he was enjoying himself, Zhang Dabiao next to him was completely stunned!
What kind of sharpshooter was this? He could take down 10 targets in less than a minute! This speed and accuracy were simply unmatched!
"Boss Ren, Boss Ren, can I try your gun?" Zhang Dabiao said impatiently.
"No problem. Today, the three of us will try it and give some suggestions for improvement to see how we can modify this gun to make it even better," Ren Zhong said with a smile, pointing the gun upwards as he handed it to Zhang Dabiao.
"Huzi, go set up the targets. You can try the gun later too and see if it's good. We'll equip you with it first!"
"Okay, Boss Ren!" Huzi's eyes had been glued to the gun for a while. Hearing Ren Zhong say that he would be the first to use it, he was overjoyed and no longer felt reluctant about parting with Li Yunlong!
This job was better than being a company commander!
Zhang Dabiao aimed at the target and easily knocked down the first one with a single shot. Then, after a few seconds, he took down the second target. He got faster and faster, and in less than 30 seconds, he had knocked down all ten targets!
Not only was he hitting every shot, but he was also almost twice as fast as Ren Zhong!
"Phew," Zhang Dabiao exhaled heavily. He was determined to have this gun!
With this thing, the Type 11 light machine gun was nothing! With the Type 56 SKS, Zhang Dabiao dared to take on a small squad of Japanese soldiers!
With this level of accuracy, hitting a Japanese soldier with one shot from a hundred meters away, and equipped with a 30-round magazine! Heavens, carrying this gun in the Taihang Mountains, even if he encountered a small squad of Japanese soldiers, as long as he had two magazines, Zhang Dabiao could run circles around them!
"Boss Ren, how many of these guns can you provide?" Zhang Dabiao asked in a low voice while Huzi was setting up the targets, "You see, my First Company of the First Battalion doesn't have any heavy weapons in Heyuan. Most of the machine guns have been taken away by the regiment commander, and now my First Company only has three Type 11 light machine guns. The firepower is seriously insufficient. Can you give me fifty of these guns?"
50 guns?! Ren Zhong glanced at Zhang Dabiao. As expected of someone who followed Li Yunlong, he was thick-skinned and greedy!
"Dabiao, what are you dreaming about? A company asking for 50 guns, you really dare to think," Ren Zhong scolded with a smile. These people in the Independent Regiment, especially those close to Li Yunlong, were even more thick-skinned than him. You had to walk their path before they did.
"The production capacity of this gun is limited in the early stages. By August, it'll be good if we can equip one per squad."
Ren Zhong was talking about the Independent Regiment. According to his estimate, the Independent Regiment had almost a hundred squads when everyone was gathered.
Ren Zhong needed to transport too many goods now. Seeds, machine tool parts, generator parts, copper plates, radios, Type 56 SKS rifles, and seamless steel tubes were all piled up in the small courtyard in the main plane. And that didn't even include the machine-processed products from Hong Kong Island!
These were all important. The seeds were related to this year's grain harvest. He had to ensure the planting of 1500 mu of improved corn varieties no matter what. Just this alone would require Ren Zhong to transport for 50 days! That meant half of April, May, and June would be spent transporting seeds.
The remaining time had to be allocated to so many things. The Type 56 SKS had a lower priority than the seamless steel tubes. It would be good if he had 10 days to transport them. Based on the current quality of the Type 56 SKS parts, he could only bring about 25 sets at a time, so the maximum production capacity of the Type 56 SKS was 250.
Huzi's guard team was related to his life and safety. In case the Japanese launched a large-scale mopping-up operation and he needed to find a safe place, Ren Zhong naturally had to prioritize equipping them to ensure his safety. He would only feel safe if at least half of them had Type 56 SKS rifles.
After all, if they were just circling around in the mountains, the biggest enemy Ren Zhong's team would encounter would be a Japanese company plus a puppet army company, about 300 enemies. The automatic firepower would likely be around 12 machine guns, and they wouldn't be in the same direction. So, if they mainly encountered Japanese squads or puppet army platoons, Huzi's guard team would have 15 Type 56 SKS rifles, which would give them an overwhelming advantage in firepower!
Anyway, Ren Zhong's goal was to escape, not to annihilate the enemy. With such a strong and capable team protecting him, Ren Zhong would feel at ease.
So, at most 100 would be left for the Independent Regiment to strengthen the firepower of each squad, and the remaining 100 or so would definitely be taken away by the brigade commander with congratulations and good fortune. After all, in the brigade commander's opinion, one flower blooming alone is not spring. He now had more than a dozen regimental-level units under his command, and four or five of them were main force regiments, which needed to be further strengthened for important use.
Each main force regiment could probably get 20 or so, enough for them to create 2 or 3 fierce assault platoons, which might be decisive at critical moments.
"Boss Ren, don't! We're at least close to the water, so we should have priority," Zhang Dabiao was still unwilling to give up.
"Ah, there's such a good thing? I didn't know," Zhang Dabiao opened his eyes wide. Yang Village's production of the 82mm Type 20 mortar had not been told to him. This started after Zhang Dabiao left, so it was naturally not good to talk about these things on the radio.
"Prepare quickly. Pick a few promising candidates to learn from Zhu Zi. This thing is relatively complicated and can't be learned in three or two days. Just the thumb ranging is probably enough to learn for a month. Mortars and mortars are the regiment's heavy weapons, and they will definitely be popularized on a large scale in the future," Ren Zhong continued.
In fact, according to the information he had learned from the real world, 60mm mortars should be deployed to the platoon level, and 82mm mortars should also be available at the company level. After all, under the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese devils, maintaining a company-level establishment is considered a large force. Without 82mm mortars, the company will be unilaterally beaten when encountering Japanese infantry artillery, which is very passive.
Even with an 82mm mortar, the flexible shifting of positions can completely contain a Japanese infantry artillery squad. For the troops, this greatly reduces the pressure of enemy heavy firepower suppression.
At that time, it would not be so uncomfortable for a company to lead a Japanese battalion by the nose.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. Although the technology has been realized in the Bright Sword world for assembly and production, Ren Zhong's ability to bring goods is limited. Within three months, I am afraid that at most five or sixty large pipes will be brought, after all, at most 6 pipes can be brought at a time, this time is really wrong!
