Chapter 1474 Anti-Tank Rifle (Second Update, please subscribe)
The fall of Washington... er... the state of Washington fell,

The fall of Portland, the crisis in Oregon, the crisis in the west...all for the west, all for the United States!
Under the slogan "Everything for the West", all materials and everything tend to go west. Trains full of military supplies and soldiers are rushing on the Pacific Railway, just as President Cleveland did in Congress. As promised - we will build an unprecedented line of defense that will stop all enemy attacks.

In order to stop the attack of the Ming Empire, of course the most advanced weapons, such as the Maxim machine gun and the M1892 3-inch field gun, must be given priority to the west.

Garyble has a very deep understanding of this. After withdrawing from Portland, he and his troops were incorporated into the National Guard, and soon they added machine guns-a battalion was equipped with a full 6 machine guns.

In Portland, a regiment may not have so many machine guns. After having machine guns and mortars, they even used the mountainous terrain of Oregon to repel the Ming army's attacks many times.However, this did not stop the attack of the Ming army.

After the fall of Portland, Garibal's troops were fighting all the way, and of course they were constantly retreating.And most of the time, they are retreating.

Once again, the order to retreat came suddenly.Yesterday the division staff had just issued an order for the construction of fortifications - the establishment of a second line of defense.But in the morning they received a call asking them to blow up roads and bridges as they retreated to stop the imperial army from attacking.

When the engineers poured kerosene on the wooden bridge and were about to light it, Captain Harrison walked up to Garyble and asked.

"Major, do you know why we are retreating?"

Facing the inquiries from his subordinates, Garibal said.

"I heard that Daming invested tanks in Salem. There are hundreds of tanks. If we don't retreat, we may not have the chance to retreat immediately. After all, people cannot outrun tanks."

And it can't beat tanks.

Is there anything more telling about the situation than that?

It was only rumored that the Ming army had invested in tanks, and the division headquarters ordered to retreat. Tanks were almost everyone's nightmare.No one wants to die in front of a tank.

"Major, we must have anti-tank weapons. I'm not talking about Thor's Hammer. Not everyone has Remy's luck. Luck with grenades is very important, and the same is true with mines,"

When Harrison mentioned Remy, Garyble nodded and asked.

"Then what do you think we need?"

"We need a larger rifle with bullets that can pierce steel..."

"Large rifle?"

"Yes, it is a large rifle."

Harrison thought for a while and said.

"When I was a sailor on a merchant ship, I once went to the Qing Dynasty, and there I saw a large rifle with a caliber between 0.60 inches and 1 inch, and it was six feet long. , it takes two men to carry it and use it. I think we can make a rifle like this that fires this kind of cartridge..."

While speaking, Harrison took out a bullet from his bag, and gestured.

"We should design a 0.6-inch bullet with a steel core instead of copper and lead. This large bullet should be able to penetrate the armor of a tank. Well, for the shell, we can use a 20mm shell. The necking of the cartridge case made it..."

"You mean to make a rifle that fires big-bore wildcats?"

Garibal asked, wildcat ammunition is a self-made ammunition, which is usually remade from existing ammunition in order to obtain better ammunition performance.

Making bullets out of cannonball casings...

"Haha, my friend, you are really a genius. If you use it to shoot solid bullets, it will definitely be able to penetrate very thick steel plates. Naturally, it will be no problem to use him to hit tanks. Haha, in this case, we will never Need to worry about tanks."

After thinking about it, Garybur said.

"We will be withdrawing to Albany soon. There must be people there who can make... what kind of rifle? By the way, gun-carrying craftsman, we can try it. Maybe your invention can save the United States and the world."

Just a few days later, they found a gun shop in Albany. Facing the request made by this group of soldiers, the gunsmith Burek said in astonishment.

"A .0.6-inch-plus, six-foot rifle. My God, what are you going to shoot with it? Elephants? Can you handle the recoil with a gun like that?"

"Mr. Burlake, what we need is a rifle capable of hitting tanks."

"Tank?"

Burek asked puzzled.

Soon Burek understood what the other party wanted.

"Is it able to pierce steel plate rifles? For example, use this shell to shrink the neck to fire smaller steel bullets. Its speed is faster and its power must be more powerful!"

As the best gunsmith in Albany, Burlake thought about it, and then said.

"Then do you know how much his recoil is?"

……

Tank troops are on the move!
It should be said that a tank is advancing. In [-], the tank has become the most dazzling star on the northern battlefield. It is like the heavy cavalry on the ancient battlefield. When it wants to sweep everything on the battlefield, it also Gave people confidence.

As long as it appears on the battlefield, the enemy's defense will definitely fall apart, and the morale of the imperial soldiers will instantly rise.

It is not uncommon for a tank, an infantry company, or even a battalion of American troops to dare to attack.

"We'll be hitting California, we'll be hitting San Francisco soon."

"Haha, when we get to San Francisco, let's relax. Those white women have really fair skin..."

Zhou Kai, who exposed half of his body in the turret, listened to the infantry's words and looked at their light coffee complexion, muttering to himself.

"It's just a bunch of guys thinking about white people..."

Suddenly, accompanied by a burst of intense gunfire, two or three infantrymen who were chatting fell down.

"Assault, attack... partisans!"

When the infantry shouted, they lay down on the side of the mountain road and shot into the forest. As for Zhou Kai, he got into the turret immediately, closed the top compartment of the turret, and looked out through the observation hole of the turret.

"How is it, captain? Is there a lot of people?"

Zhou Kai, who was rotating the turret, pointed the muzzle in the direction of the gunfire and said.

"What's the point of not having too many? For us, no matter how many people there are, they are here to give away their heads..."

After all, they were protected by a layer of bulletproof steel. Zhou Kai pulled the trigger after seeing the muzzle flames behind the ambusher on the hillside.

Accompanied by the rapid gunfire of the machine gun, the red and green trajectories of light flashed across the air with dazzling brilliance.

But before he finished firing a belt, Zhou Kai suddenly fell headlong into the turret with a heavy knock on the steel plate.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

"Hey, what's going on here... Captain, Captain..."

After the driver saw a bullet hole nearly two centimeters in the turret steel plate, his wide eyes were filled with astonishment...

At this moment, he didn't even understand what happened. There was only one thought in his mind - the tank was shot through!
