Chapter 84 Firepower Configuration and Protection of Special Forces

Of course, he didn't know about the chat between Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong. There was no way Liu Xiu was seizing the time to train his special operations platoon!

That's right, since Liu Xiu expanded his second battalion into a regiment in the spring, he naturally began to select good seedlings who could become special forces members among the recruits of the two newly added battalions.

Liu Xiu has two plans for the selection of special forces members. The first one is naturally the selection of special forces!

For example, people who can throw grenades accurately and shoot guns accurately will be recruited into the special operations team by Liu Xiu.

The next day is the physical competition selection. Liu Xiu will organize a physical competition, such as long-distance running, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.

The purpose of this is naturally to select the people with the best physical fitness to join the special operations team. After all, the special operations team naturally needs to have a good physical foundation, so that they can carry out tasks such as long-distance detours and sneak attacks.

After such selection, Liu Xiu finally selected two classes of special operations team members from the two recruit camps. With the addition of the special operations team members from the original class, Liu Xiu also expanded his special operations team. Became a special operations platoon!

But what makes Liu Xiu a little embarrassed is the issue of equipment. Yes, since they have become a special force, they can't still hold rifles like ordinary soldiers!

You must know that the weapons of the special operations squad that Liu Xiu originally formed were only used when Liu Xiu killed eight imps in the battle against Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces in Chenjiayu, plus the two killed by other soldiers of the second battalion. The weapons and equipment left by Yamamoto Kazuki's special operations team members formed a special operations squad with all submachine guns.

However, although only ten of Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces members were defeated, it was still much better than the previous independent regiment in Yangcun. You must know that the battle in which Yamamoto Kazuki attacked Yangcun was a battle of two hundred. A score of zero!

In the Chenjiayu defense battle involving Liu Xiu, although about fifty people from the second battalion were directly killed, ten of the Japs also died, so the death ratio between the two sides directly changed from 200 to 0 to 5 to 1. Therefore, This is still something to be happy about!

It's just a pity that Liu Xiu's special operations squad has now become a special operations platoon, and the equipment left by the previous special operations team member Kazuki Yamamoto is not enough.

However, Liu Xiu had no intention of learning from Kazuki Yamamoto. All of them used submachine guns as weapons for the special operations team members.

Because such disadvantages are really too great. You must know that Yamamoto Kazuki's more than 80 special operations team members are all equipped with submachine guns. Although they have strong firepower for sudden attacks at close range, they will not be able to carry out critical battles or deal with enemies in the position. When it comes to the enemy, it will be blinded!

Because the effective shooting distance of Yamamoto Kazuki's submachine gun is only two hundred meters, so as long as this distance is blocked with machine guns and rifles, Yamamoto Kazuki's special force will not be able to survive!

As for equipping special forces members with light machine guns, such as the Little Devil's Type 96 light machine gun, which is a machine gun that imitates the Jack-type light machine gun, Liu Xiu had never thought about it. You must know that the weight of this thing alone is It’s nine kilograms! This is the weight without the magazine.

This is much heavier than a submachine gun that only weighs three kilograms. Of course, Liu Xiu couldn't ignore the shortcomings of the special operations team's lack of long-range firepower, so Liu Xiu finally decided to arrange a grenade squad for the special operations team!

And it’s the kind of grenade class with one person and one grenade class! The powerful firepower of ten grenade tubes is much better than that of a light machine gun. What's more, the weight of a grenade tube is only 2.7 kilograms. Even if Liu Xiu modified it with a muzzle brake and sight sight. The combined weight of the weapon and cotton cushion is only three kilograms, so it is much lighter than a light machine gun.

Of course, grenade howitzers are heavier, weighing 800 grams each. Therefore, the weight of a grenade launcher plus eight grenades is equal to the weight of a Type 96 light machine gun!

However, the combat effectiveness of the grenade is obviously not comparable to that of the light machine gun. When the special forces encounter a tough battle, they can directly suppress the grenade fire first, and then the members with submachine guns charge. This is much better than charging with a separate submachine gun. Got it!

Moreover, the team members holding the grenade can also be equipped with a submachine pistol, that is, the Mauser M1932 pistol to coordinate the charge!

But fortunately, the Mauser M1932 pistol can barely be used as a submachine gun with its wooden gun case that can be used as a butt, and the magazine capacity of this gun is about twenty rounds, which is barely enough!

Of course, Liu Xiu, the grenade squad of the special operations team, was only equipped with one. The remaining special operations squad Liu Xiu gave him the Mauser pistol as his main weapon, and he also helped the grenade squad carry grenades. There is no way, although now, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Little Devil submachine gun, it is a scarce weapon!

It has been more than three years since Liu Xiu came to the world of the Anti-Japanese War. Except for Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces equipped with submachine guns, he has never seen other little Japs equipped with submachine guns.

The individual weapons of the little Japanese soldiers are either light machine guns, grenade launchers, or Type 38 rifles! And Liu Xiu, who had seen the sword, also knew that the submachine gun held by Yamamoto Kazuki's special team was an imported American product.

However, although he can only use the Mauser M1932 submachine gun instead of the submachine gun, Liu Xiu is still very concerned about the protection of the special forces members. A bulletproof insert is an indispensable thing for everyone.

Of course, because there was no high-quality bulletproof helmet, the kind used by Kazuki Yamamoto's special forces, Liu Xiu could only get a bulletproof mask. Yes, in view of the problem that the face was easily shot to death, Liu Xiu still got a bulletproof mask. Come!

You must know that in a frontal charge, apart from the chest, which is the fatal bullet point, the rest is the face. No matter whether the bullet hits the forehead or the nose, the fatality rate is 99%, so the face Protection is naturally essential!

Fortunately, there was an old blacksmith in Liujia Village where Liu Xiu was stationed, and his blacksmithing skills were pretty good, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to make special protective equipment.

Of course, Liu Xiu's special operations platoon is not all equipped with submachine guns or pistols. There are also some who hold rifles, and the soldier in this special operations platoon with a rifle is Wang Xikui!

That's right, when Liu Xiu and Li Yunlong first joined the Independent Regiment and were arranged by Li Yunlong to be the platoon leader of a battalion, company and platoon, Wang Xikui was his subordinate.

Later, Liu Xiu became the battalion commander of the Second Battalion and wanted to form a special team. Naturally, he immediately thought of Wang Xikui and Wang Gensheng.

So he went to the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao to ask for someone. However, Zhang Dabiao naturally did not agree to let humans go easily for such a backbone of veterans.

In this regard, Liu Xiu had no choice but to grit his teeth and use two crooked handles to replace Wang Xikui and Wang Gensheng!

Liu Xiu saw that nearly one-third of the special forces members were holding pistols, and couldn't help but wonder when Yamamoto Kazuki would take action, otherwise where would they get their submachine guns!

Although the Capital Arsenal now not only has the ability to produce explosives but also has the ability to manufacture rifles, the manufacturing of submachine guns is still relatively difficult!
