Chapter 978 Corner Gun and Remote-Controlled Explosive Pack
Upon hearing this, the two regimental commanders immediately transformed from close friends who constantly exposed each other's shortcomings into brothers who could entrust their lives to each other.
One of these shotguns is enough for an infantry squad; the others are equipped with light machine guns, pistols, and submachine guns, which can completely rout the hiding enemy in urban warfare.
Next, Section Chief Lin took out an even stranger weapon from the box. When Commander Zhang saw it, he shouted exaggeratedly:
"This is really strange today. The weapons they've brought out are all bizarre. Everyone, come and take a look! This gun barrel is bent! How can it fire a bullet? Aren't they afraid of it exploding?"
Upon hearing this, others also gathered around to see what was going on, including Chu Yunfei and Chief of Staff Fang.
After all, they had never seen a weapon with a curved barrel before. Everyone likes to see novel things, especially since everyone present was a soldier, and their love for novel weapons far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Section Chief Lin picked up the weapon and began to loudly introduce it:
"Gentlemen, this is a new weapon developed in our base's industrial zone. We call it the corner gun."
"However, this weapon was only recently developed and is currently in the testing phase. It was originally intended for elite special forces, but since we are facing large-scale urban warfare here, twenty sets have been allocated for testing."
"This gun uses a bend system and a three-stage firing mechanism, offering four bend options: 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°, which can be changed according to battlefield needs."
"It is also equipped with a 'periscope + prism' aiming system, which allows the shooter to fire around corners and behind cover while completely concealed."
"In fact, this design concept has long existed in industrialized countries, especially in the United States. They designed similar firearms during the Blue Star Wars 20 years ago. Our technicians simply improved and upgraded the original design."
After he finished speaking, he arranged for someone to conduct a test, which actually involved setting up a few walls to simulate urban street fighting.
A soldier in camouflage, holding a curved rifle, leaned against a wall, extended the barrel, and fired at a target on the street, hitting it precisely.
This brilliant demonstration immediately won applause from everyone present, which broadened their horizons.
Everyone here is a battlefield expert, and they can immediately see the usefulness of this gun in urban warfare.
If the Japanese soldiers still relied on their past experience and searched the area ahead with their eyes, they would easily be caught off guard by this new weapon and probably wouldn't even know which side the bullets came from until they died.
This weapon relies on surprise, and there's simply no way to defend against it in a short period of time.
However, after seeing it, Chu Yunfei asked with a serious expression, "It is a good weapon, with obvious advantages, but it also has many disadvantages and cannot be used as a conventional weapon."
"Commander Chu has a good eye. This kind of corner gun was not originally designed for regular troops. It is mainly intended for use by special operations teams in special circumstances."
"The first drawback is that the barrel has a very short lifespan. If it is at a 90° angle, it will be worn out after about 60 rounds, and at a 30° angle, it will be worn out after about 300 rounds."
"The second drawback is that the production cost of a corner gun is very high, even exceeding that of a high-precision sniper rifle, which means that the production volume will definitely not be very high, and it can only be used in special circumstances."
"The last point is that operating this weapon requires long-term training by professionals, making it impossible to promote on a large scale. This time, it was mainly for performance testing."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost interest in the weapon. After all, a weapon that cannot be deployed on a large scale, no matter how good its performance, is of little use to a conventional force like theirs.
On the other hand, Chu Yunfei showed great interest in this weapon and even inquired about the details.
He plans to equip his meticulously crafted guard platoon with a set of equipment, which may prove surprisingly effective in future special operations.
Chu Yunfei still had high aspirations and always wanted to use his strength to build an elite small force to rival the Xingtian Special Forces of yesteryear.
Any good items we get should be prioritized for his guard platoon. The shotgun and strafe gun we just got are pretty good. After the battle, we can easily get a few back.
Next, Section Chief Lin took out another weapon and began to explain it in detail:
"What came before was just an appetizer. Next, I'll show you the weapons that will be used in this urban warfare."
"This is called a remote-controlled explosive pack. It contains high-performance explosives that our base has just developed, which are 30% more effective than ordinary yellow explosives."
"In urban warfare, if the enemy is stubbornly resisting inside a room, you can use this special explosive charge to blow down the wall, achieving a surprise effect."
"Moreover, the detonation device of this explosive charge is quite special, so there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring your own people."
Everyone was very satisfied with this weapon. In the past, they used defensive grenades, but grenades were mainly used for throwing, relying on the fragments produced by the explosion to kill the enemy, and the explosive power was actually not very great.
With this, things become much simpler, and these explosive charges can be directly stuck to the wall, which makes things much more convenient and time-saving.
Next, there are several special weapons, such as incendiary grenades and flashbangs suitable for use at night.
In short, this is an excellent opportunity to test new weapons. In the past, special forces were used to test them, but those situations were extremely special and made it impossible to conduct professional evaluations. Urban assault operations by conventional troops are more suitable.
Once everything was ready, the Jin-Sui Army launched an attack on Goose City.
When Tuqiao, the regimental commander, saw this, he was finally relieved, mainly because this period had been too difficult.
With no reinforcements arriving from above and the enemy failing to launch an attack, it was like a knife hanging over our heads, ready to fall at any moment – that was the most agonizing thing.
Now that the two sides have officially started fighting, there's no need to think about it so much anymore.
Meanwhile, our intelligence personnel inside the city breathed a sigh of relief; after so much preparation, it was finally time to begin.
If we don't fight soon, the morale of the gang forces we've gathered will plummet.
After all, this battle was mainly fought by regular troops outside the city, while those inside the city were just there to provide support. Otherwise, they would not have been able to defeat the regular Japanese garrison inside the city.
In the past two days, to be honest, the Jin-Sui Army outside the city has been slow to attack, and the traitors and detectives inside the city have become increasingly arrogant, causing several small-scale clashes with our people.
However, we were well prepared, with a large number of pistols and grenades, so the enemy did not gain any advantage.
