Lu Ming

Chapter 667 Sharing the Great Cause ([-])

In the early days, ignorant traversers faced the unfamiliar new world and responded accordingly, especially the choice of "imported materials" was based on the experience of the old world.

Most of these materials have been successfully used in the New World.

Of course, there are also some "losers" who have gradually revealed the characteristics of acclimatization. For example, 9mm pistols.

At the beginning, imported pistols were only distributed to the crossing people themselves and their guards.

Later, with the expansion of the national power of the Great Yan State, the users of imported pistols expanded to the intelligence agencies that needed fewer enemies and more enemies—a huge system like the military and police did not use imported pistols because there was not so much supply.

With new cadets comes attrition and corresponding live ammunition training.

In the end, in the face of the growing demand for ammunition, the cabinet had no choice but to approve the import of a batch of special equipment at the end of the previous year, and established a national special arms company to produce supporting imported ammunition.

The so-called special munitions factory is actually just a manual workshop, not only small in scale, but also has a long production chain.

Every time a bullet is produced, the national workshop starts with absorbent cotton and electrolytic copper, and climbs up step by step.In this way, after hundreds of processes, manual batching and manual molding, qualified copper shells, lead bullets and double-base gunpowder are finally obtained. Such efficiency can be imagined.

Half a year after the establishment of the National Workshop, the average daily output of 9mm bombs was less than 100 rounds.

This period is exactly the time for Zhou Yi to train in Lugu.This group of students began to come into contact with the new .45mm pistol.

The early imported pistols, whether it is the Beretta 92 series or the Glock series, all have their calibers derived from the international standards that someone casually chose when buying a gun for the first time.

After that, in order to save logistical pressure, the standard was carried over.The 9mm general-purpose Luger bullets that have been used for a long time by the crossing public.

Later, as time went by, people gradually discovered that the 9mm caliber was a little bit powerless.

The reason is simple: the environment is different.

9mm bullets, and even smaller caliber pistols, are generally classified as "small caliber defensive weapons".It is mostly used for security and law enforcement personnel, and the core design idea is "stop and defend".

In this way of thinking, the recoil of the 9mm pistol is reduced, the shooting accuracy is increased, and the ricochet rate is reduced, which balances the relationship between stopping effect and accuracy to the greatest extent.

In later generations, law enforcement officers spent most of their time shooting each other at close range.Using precision 9mm firearms, or even the smaller caliber .22, law enforcement officers can avoid harming innocent people as much as possible.

There are paid vacations for killing gangsters, but once stray bullets accidentally injure innocent people, it will cause huge pressure from public opinion, and the credit will become hard work.

In the seventeenth century, however, thinking changed.Whether it is the senior security personnel passing through the crowd or the elite agents of the General Intelligence Agency, once they decide to draw their guns and shoot expensive bullets, there is no taboo.

The time-traveling instructor taught them from the very beginning: be merciless, and quickly eliminate the opponent at the first time.

After all, in the seventeenth century, there was no need to consider off-site factors such as public opinion, reporters, downtown, innocent people, etc.

Saving the lives of the old men is the first priority.

In this environment, 9 mm is not enough. There were not so many densely populated cities in the seventeenth century for police and robbers to shoot each other at close range.On the contrary, in one-to-many places where there are no people, or even encountering enemies wearing various armors, this probability is greatly increased.

In the end, starting from the end of last year, all the imported pistols of Dayan Country were replaced with .45 caliber revolutionaryly.

To be exact, the HK45 pistol.

.45 caliber pistols, in later generations, were classified as "offensive weapons".Pistols of this caliber have high recoil, high power, and great stopping power, making them excellent battlefield pistols.

Thinking back to the U.S. imperialism after the Iraq war, they looked at the invincible opponents everywhere, so based on the experience of the Iraq war, they unified the caliber of the rifles in the army to 5.56mm.

However, reality soon hit the face.

Then in Afghanistan, American soldiers armed with modern 5.56mm guns were gnawed on naan bread, and the Taliban guerrillas who dared to drink cold water and smoke curly leaves in the plateau area used the old AK to teach them how to behave.

The highlands of Afghanistan are not the streets of Baghdad.There, there is not enough oxygen, stones run with the wind, tanks cannot move, and planes cannot be found.The gun battle mode is often separated by the canyon and the mountain top, and the two sides shoot each other at a long distance in the rock pile at the bottom of the valley.

After paying the price of blood and discovering the shortcomings of 5.56mm low penetration and weak long-range lethality, the U.S. military quickly modified various 7.62mm rifles to rescue Afghanistan.

In the bidding for the next-generation small-caliber weapons of the Ministry of National Defense, the U.S. military announced that: 5.56mm is not powerful enough, and it will gradually replace the general-purpose weapons with a caliber of 6.8mm in the entire army.

Look, it is as strong as the US emperor, and it also suffers from insufficient caliber in the primitive environment.

Thick is thick, one inch is thicker and one inch is stronger, the feeling of refreshment is different, and the laws of physics cannot be changed.Small-caliber bullets may not see much difference at close range. Once the distance is widened, or the opponent has protection, it will immediately be powerless.

-------------------------

Zhou Yi lowered his waist and reined in his horse, straightened his arms, and the HK45 in his hand fired all 10 bullets in a few seconds.

There are nine cavalrymen from Shaanxi 20 meters away.Due to the narrow dirt road, the nine people were in two rows at the front and back.Facing the five civilian travelers, the cavalry formed a loose zigzag formation.

The next moment, accompanied by a series of loud noises and lightning flashed across the retina, the powerful power of .45 knocked the four cavalrymen in the front row to their knees.

If it was on a battle formation, these nine elite Shaanxi cavalry must be heavily armored, set up in formation, and ready to charge at any time.

Today, however, the situation is different.The brothers are actually out of the big camp for a rotation. Their purpose is just to stroll around and see if they can get some wild food.Therefore, the group of nine did not focus on heavy armor, but uniformly wore simple leather armor.

I don't want to fight, the seemingly fat wild food becomes life-threatening, and the front row is instantly beaten to the ground.

To be honest, in fact, there was only one person who was shot this round.However, with Zhou Yi's shot, all the horses in the front row with huge targets were shot.The startled horse immediately jumped in pain, and the unprepared cavalry immediately lay down with their guns, some were thrown off, and some were crushed by the lying horse.

The Shaanxi soldiers in the back row who were attacked for the first time were terrified, drew their knives and beat their horses one after another, shouting and trying to force their way through the chaotic front row to fight.

The Ming army during this period was far from collapsing and corrupting in the later period.The core cavalry under He Renlong, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, are of tough quality. Even the unheard-of pistol shooting with full sound and light effects did not make them lose their fighting spirit.

However, the will is no match for the technology ahead of the times.When Zhou Yi's pistol hidden in his sleeve was replaced with a second magazine, the cavalry who didn't raise their speed still became targets.

This time, Zhou Yi calmed down, reined in the horse with one hand, and aimed steadily with the other.

A sudden encounter ended in just 3 minutes.When the last cavalryman finally turned around in fear and wanted to escape, Tian Da chased him from behind and killed him with a knife.

Afterwards, the perpetrator quickly fled the crime scene.Zhou Yi and the others rushed their horses, never resting at the prepared location, and rushed all night, ran out of the Xinzheng area and killed nine elites.

The fugitives along the way did not cherish horsepower anymore, because Xinzheng is only a hundred miles away from Xingyang, and a fast horse can be obtained in half a day.

In fact, before Zhou Yi and the others arrived in Xingyang, they had already connected with the organization.

In the morning of the next day, Zhou Yi and others rushed to Xingyang County 20 miles away, and encountered a sentry sent by Chuangwang Daying to investigate.And now, it's May 5th.

It should be noted that the "Chuang Wang" at this point in time is the 1.0 version of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang's nephew, Li Zicheng, is now just an inconspicuous "breakthrough general" among the camp leaders.

In history, Li Zicheng took over the title of "Chuang Wang 2.0", and he had to wait for Gao Yingxiang to defeat Ziwu Valley next year and be beaten by Sun Chuanting.

Seeing Chuang Jun who came to question him, Zhou Yi and others were overjoyed.

Immediately, Tian Da, who came forward to negotiate, reported the name and name of the camp.After the two sides talked in a few words, the inspector immediately confirmed his family, and then pointed out the location of General Li Chuang's camp to the visitors.

The current situation is that the entire outside of Henan, the official army commanded by Hong Chengchou is shrinking in all directions, gradually squeezing the peasant army in the province to the central and western regions.

Xingyang is in Henan Province.Inside and outside Xingyang County before, thirteen 72 battalions gathered, with a total of more than [-] peasant soldiers and horses.

When Zhou Yi and the others arrived in Xingyang at the end of May, the Xingyang Conference had actually ended.The leaders of the multi-route camps who had gathered here before have already left the camps one after another in accordance with the strategy set by the conference these days.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng, the head of the battalion, was going to go south to Fengyang to dig the ancestral grave of Old Zhu's family with Gao Yingxiang's camp, so he stayed in Xingyang for a few days.

Not long after, according to the guidance, Zhou Yi and others rushed all the way, and finally found Li Zicheng's camp head by the Suo River, seven miles west of Xingyang.

Seeing Brother Tian laughing and being surrounded by a group of sergeants into the depths of the camp, Zhou Yi smiled lightly, and gave a Taoist salute to the officer in charge of reception: "If you dare to ask this brother, there is a tent that can accommodate you." Shall I take a break for a day or two?"

Half an hour later, Zhou Yi, who had changed into a black Taoist robe, was sitting upright in the tent with his eyes closed.

The next moment, only three horns sounded.After a while, there was the sound of boots outside the tent, and a deep voice came in: "Mizhi Li Zicheng, please leave the tent for a while."

"Hehehe."

Zhou Yi, who opened the tent door, at this moment, finally saw the person he had worked so hard to find: "Zhou Yi, the contemporary disciple of the Iron Umbrella Sect, has met the general."

This year, Li Zicheng, a breakout player in his prime, was only 29 years old.
