blood of vietnam war

Regarding this Type 67 heavy machine gun... To be precise, it should be Type 67-1.

所谓的67-1式，也就是改进过后的67式……中国的武器装备其实很容易知道其研制的时间，比如这67式就是67年设计定型的，到70年就装备部队了。

but……

Because the design and finalization of the Type 67 and its production took place within a period of ten years... then there were very serious quality problems. Significantly increased, and more seriously, the machine gun is prone to jamming and causing an out-of-bore explosion accident during continuous shooting.

It can be imagined... a heavy machine gun, which is used for fire protection, is easy to get jammed and exploded during continuous shooting... Then this heavy machine gun will definitely not be welcomed by soldiers on the battlefield, so in the counterattack against Vietnam At that time, soldiers generally used the more backward Type 57 heavy machine gun, although the Type 57 heavy machine gun was 67 kg heavier than the Type 10.

But this Type 67-1 is different from the Type 67...Since the self-defense counterattack, our army has realized the extremely serious negative impact of the backwardness and shoddy equipment on the troops, so we have comprehensively improved the weapons and equipment , upgrade, the Type 67-1 heavy machine gun is an improved product.

Obviously... it has eradicated the problem of jamming, and it has also greatly improved the accuracy of shooting, so it was a natural choice for us.

It is worth mentioning that...the Type 67-1 was remodeled just this year, and it has not even had time to be equipped with troops.

This is of course Li Li's credit... When she shipped this machine gun to our army for the soldiers to try out, I couldn't help sighing: "This gun came at the right time!"

Li Li couldn't help giving me a blank look: "Do you think that if it wasn't for me...you would be able to keep up with this gun?"

"What do you mean?" I said, "Isn't our synthetic camp just to be your guinea pigs?"

"That's because I know you will have a mission soon!" Li Li said, "This gun has only produced a dozen guns so far. According to the original procedure... it will take at least a few months before you can try it out." ! Are you in a hurry?"

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but nodded to Li Li gratefully, but then asked strangely, "How do you know we have a mission soon?"

"You think I'm a fool?" Li Li said angrily, "If it wasn't for the task... would it take such hard training to get eliminated? And they were all running on the mountain?"

After a pause, Li Li continued: "I guess... your next mission will definitely be to fight in the jungle, so this 67-1 type should be useful, so I asked the favor to find an excuse to get it in advance Already!"

"I didn't expect you to be so careful!" Li Li's words surprised me. I thought she was careless.

"I have a purpose..."

"For what purpose?"

Li Li gave a wicked smile and said, "You belong to me these few nights! No problem..."

Hearing this, I only had a wry smile... What is it all about, it makes me feel like I'm selling... But it seems that this business is quite a bargain.

So the 67-1 heavy machine gun was added to the equipment of the secret service company.

Needless to say about the equipment of the sniper company, of course it is the combination of svd and ak74... It's just that during training, I usually assign the sniper team to the special agent company to train together. The purpose of doing this is very Obvious... Secret Service companies often need snipers to provide them with cover and real-time enemy intelligence.

The mortar company uses 60 mm and 80 mm caliber light mortars... This is after listening to Chen Qiaoqiao's suggestion. According to her words: "The advantages of heavy mortars are long range and high firepower, but it is very difficult to fight in mountainous areas. It is rarely necessary to attack such a distant target, and there is no strong fortification that requires such a large amount of firepower... But the shortcomings are very obvious. The mobility of heavy mortars is not good, and the rugged mountains are not convenient for guns, and the number of shells that can be carried is also small. !"

When I thought about it, it really is... the larger the caliber, the heavier the shell is, and the heavier the shell means that the same capacity can carry fewer shells, so the firepower will be less sustainable.

So without thinking too much, I replaced all the mortars with 60 and 82 guns.

Therefore, our army has light and heavy machine guns, svd and ak74 in terms of firearms, which have a combination of long and short range, firepower, and high accuracy. In terms of artillery, from far to near, there are 82 guns, 60 guns, rocket launchers, and gun-launched grenades. .

This is the combination of firepower of a unit... From the combination of firepower of a unit, it is often possible to see what kind of terrain this unit is more suitable for fighting or what kind of mission it wants to complete.For example, these weapons used by our army... It can be seen at a glance that they are mainly aimed at infantry, and for the convenience of maneuvering.

The reason is very simple. We lack anti-tank weapons in our equipment... If such a combination of firepower is used in plain warfare, it is tantamount to courting death... A few enemy tanks beat us from a distance, and we have no power to fight back.

But then again... we are going to Afghanistan in the future, and we are still going to fight guerrillas, so it is heavy and can only be fired once, and it is really unnecessary to bring anti-tank missiles that are manually guided.

The next period of time is to let the soldiers after the change of costumes carry out the necessary training on the mountain to familiarize them with the equipment and the coordination between the various arms... I don't need to ask about these trainings, Dao Scar, Chen Qiaoqiao and the staff will naturally take care of them It's all in place.

All I have to do is wait for the news from the Afghan delegation.

Finally, after more than a month, Commander Zhang secretly called me to the headquarters...

"There's news from Pakistan!" Commander Zhang put a document bag in front of me: "Because time is limited, the inspection team only brought back topographical data along the Pakistan-African border. The Pakistani side has made representations, and the Pakistani side is very supportive of our assistance to Afghanistan, and promises to make every effort to assist us in our work!"

"Hmm!" Listening to Commander Zhang's words, I realized that Commander Zhang was not idle during this time.

But having said that... It is too simple to get Pakistan's consent, let alone China and Pakistan are friendly countries... This friendship is not a normal level of friendship. During the earthquake in modern my country, Pakistan, a poor country, even The military reserves were used to donate all the tents to China.

On the other hand... Our support for Afghanistan is actually supporting Pakistan... The reason is very simple. The purpose of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan is not just for Afghanistan, but to reach the ocean...

Looking at the world map, you can see that the geographical conditions of the Soviet Union are actually very similar to those of China, that is, there are few coastal exports and are easily blocked, and the Bering Strait is connected to Japan by the United States' Arras... so it is difficult to pass To the Pacific Ocean.

So the Soviet Union hoped to open a passage from the interior to Africa, which is extremely oil-rich... This passage is to first occupy Afghanistan, a landlocked country, and then occupy Pakistan or Iran... then it can lead to the Arabian Sea up.

It is precisely because of this that the Soviet Union has worked hard for decades in the barren land of Afghanistan, but the Soviet Union is smart and other countries are not stupid... Once the Soviet Union invades Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan will of course understand what it is attacking Idea, that is to say, the Soviet Union's next operation is likely to be one of these two countries...

So now China is going to aid Afghanistan... Can Pakistan disagree?

"However, the combat plan is somewhat different from before!" Commander Zhang said while spreading out a map in front of me: "Because of the relationship of interests...Pakistan has always opened the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which has caused a large number of Afghan refugees to flow into Pakistan. , which also includes the guerrillas who were besieged by the Soviet army..."

"Oh!" When I heard this, I understood that Pakistan is using another method to support Afghanistan... It clearly does not dare to fight against the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union has nothing to say when it opens its borders... It is also a matter of accepting refugees. Out of humanitarianism!

So the guerrillas were protected in Pakistan... and those refugees, a large number of refugees who were taken away from their homes and homeless, and refugees who had nothing to do and needed to live... naturally became A huge source of soldiers for the guerrillas!

"According to this situation..." Commander Zhang went on to say, "We discussed it carefully and decided that we can not enter Afghanistan. At this time, it would be too conspicuous for an army to directly enter Afghanistan to fight the Soviet army, and a 500-man army It is also difficult for the team to play a decisive role in Afghanistan, and it is even very likely that it will be wiped out by the enemy before it can take effect...Conversely, if we establish a base on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to provide necessary training and assistance to the Afghan guerrillas, This also includes the training and arming of refugees. Then the Afghan guerrillas will continue to grow, and we can achieve our goals with the smallest cost!"

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard this. This plan is really good. On the one hand, we can try not to conflict with the Soviet army... On the other hand, this kind of struggle is also long-term and sustainable, unlike our 500 people. If you send them directly, there will be one less casualty.

It's just... why does this plan sound a bit familiar... The next second I suddenly remembered: Isn't that what Americans in history did? !

"In addition..." Commander Zhang added another sentence at this time: "I would like to remind you...the United States is also interested in this plan, so...when you establish a base in Pakistan, there is a high possibility that you will encounter the United States. Advisory Group! I think you know how to deal with it!" (To be continued.)
