Chapter 715 After the mine clearance equipment got off the train, they got on the military vehicle.
The military truck bumped along the muddy road for a long time, and finally delivered Lu Qingyang and the precious weapons boxes to a hidden command post and logistics supply point on the front line.
The atmosphere here is tense and busy.
The combat staff officer with a scar on his face who received them looked at the weapons box, then at the unusually young Lu Qingyang, his brows knitted into knots. "The superiors said they would send an expert to deliver a new weapon. Is it you? This... thing will work? It looks like a lump of iron, and it's shorter than our Type 56 assault rifle. Are you kidding me?"
Lu Qingyang didn't argue, but said calmly: "Commander, whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. Please arrange for the receiving troops and be responsible for the handover and training."
The new guns were distributed first to the most elite reconnaissance company and an assault platoon that was good at attacking strongholds in the division.
When the soldiers received their guns, their reactions varied.
Liu, a veteran of the reconnaissance company, weighed the new rifle in his hand and grinned, "Wow, it's quite light. This short and powerful thing must be very powerful for going through the woods. I wonder if it's powerful enough?"
A young soldier nearby muttered, "It's so short, it must have a short range, right? Can it be accurate? It doesn't look as impressive as the Type 56."
Assault platoon leader Wang Lei was a serious man. He carefully examined the gun structure, his brow furrowed.
"This feed port, this rate-of-fire selector... they're different from the previous ones. We're all used to this old guy, but will this temporary change of gun be smooth? Don't let it fail at the critical moment!"
Faced with doubts, Lu Qingyang didn't say anything unnecessary.
He chose a relatively safe temporary place to gather the soldiers.
"Guys, I know you all have concerns, and time is tight, so I'll only mention the three most important points!"
He picked up a gun and demonstrated its operation with smooth movements: "Look here, this is the safety, this is single shot, this is burst. Remember this order. It's similar to yours, but much simpler. Get used to it in ten minutes, and it's easier than riding a bike!"
Lu Qingyang continued to emphasize its core advantages: "It's short, not to save money or materials, but to allow for quicker maneuvers in jungles, tunnels, and rooms. In skirmishes, the competition comes down to who draws the gun faster and who has the most firepower. Try the grip. The center of gravity is positioned far back, and even shooting with one hand is more stable than with older guns. Try the trigger pull; it makes burst control much easier!"
He asked the soldiers to practice immediately, not pursuing accuracy, but to feel the recoil of continuous firing first.
"Feel it! Is the recoil softer than the Type 56? Is it easier to control? Imagine you're in the woods, suddenly encountering an enemy. Raising your hand, you unleash a barrage of bullets. Whoever reaches the enemy first survives."
"The south is humid, so remember to simply wipe the gas tube and firing pin every day. This latch, press down and twist it, and it will quickly disassemble the main body. Even if it gets muddy, it's quick to clean. Remember, it's afraid of mud and sand, but it's even more afraid of you not taking care of it!"
Everyone was thinking about it, and the warrior said, "Let's try it out first."
Liu, a veteran of the reconnaissance company, was the first to taste the sweetness.
He fired a short burst of shots, and the target thumped. His eyes lit up: "Hey, this recoil is so damn soft, it's so easy to control the gun!"
He tried holding it with one hand, simulated a quick turn and shot, and exclaimed in surprise, "This center of gravity is really good."
The young soldier who had been muttering about the range before adjusted the scale under Lu Qingyang's guidance and fired a steady single shot, which pierced the bull's eye in the distance.
"The accuracy is pretty good! This new optical sight is also very clear!"
He scratched his head sheepishly and grinned at Lu Qingyang.
Assault platoon leader Wang Lei didn't say anything, but his frown had already relaxed.
He silently and quickly emptied three magazines, experienced single shots and bursts, and even tried rapid shooting while lying or kneeling.
He put down his gun, walked in front of Lu Qingyang, and saluted solemnly: "Expert Lu, this gun is a good gun. Brothers, get familiar with it. It will definitely become a sharp knife. I'm sorry for being so doubtful just now!"
Lu Qingyang returned the greeting, his face still calm, but his eyes much gentler. "You're too polite, Platoon Leader Wang. The best way to show them respect is for the soldiers to familiarize themselves with the equipment as quickly as possible and develop combat effectiveness."
For the next half day, Lu Qingyang hardly stopped for a moment.
He shuttled among the soldiers, answering every minor operational question and repeatedly emphasizing maintenance points.
The training didn't take long, and soon the soldiers were ready to go out into the battlefield with their weapons.
Lu Qingyang was still worried. After all, the Vietnamese monkeys were cunning, and there were mines in many places in the rainforest, so mine clearance tools were very scarce.
Before coming here, he exchanged a mine-clearing tool from the space, but he didn't report it.
After all, the production process is complicated, and it will take a long time to wait for the factory to produce it.
The atmosphere at the front-line headquarters was solemn. He vaguely heard the combat staff discussing the troubles encountered by the reconnaissance company during its forward reconnaissance.
The cunning enemy laid a large number of booby traps and trip mines in the dense forests and trails. Most of the materials were difficult to detect plastic and wood. The effectiveness of the soldiers' traditional mine detection methods was greatly reduced, and the efficiency of advancement and reconnaissance was greatly affected.
Lu Qingyang listened with a frown.
He looked for Wang Lei, the assault platoon leader who was about to lead the sharp knife squad to open up a passage.
"Platoon Leader Wang, I heard the minefield ahead is very tricky. I want to go with you."
Wang Lei was stunned. Looking at Lu Qingyang's bookish face, he immediately shook his head and said firmly:
"No, absolutely not, Expert Lu, your mission is complete. That place ahead is no joke, it's a minefield. Bullets can be dodged, but mines are invitations from the King of Hell. You're a precious gem. If you bump into something, you won't be able to report it to your superiors, and you'll be sorry for the country's training in you."
Several veterans who were checking their equipment came over and started to advise:
"Yes, Expert Lu, that's not the place you go."
"We appreciate your kindness, but it's too dangerous."
"Your head is filled with knowledge, which is much more valuable than us. You rough guys step on landmines and admit defeat, but you can't take that risk."
