Who can tell me something about the Japanese 92 heavy machine gun?

The gun that drinks the most blood among automatic weapons is the machine gun, and the heavy machine gun is the first to drink the most blood among the machine guns. Since the invention of automatic weapons by human beings, the name of machine gun has gained great fame in the battlefield, and machine guns have played an indispensable role in every war. Once the term "heavy machine gun" appears, it means that a massacre of human beings has begun! The reason why I talk about Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns here depends to a great extent on the massive use of such standard weapons by Japanese troops in China battlefield during World War II to kill our soldiers and civilians. Not only that, the Japanese high-level officials believe that during the whole World War II, as the main combat weapon of the Japanese Army, the 92-type heavy machine gun performed well, with excellent maintainability and considerable lethality. The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun was independently developed on the basis of the Three-year heavy machine gun. Since 1932, it has been in use until 1945, and its design concept is somewhat similar to that of the French Haskell machine gun. From the development direction of heavy machine guns, it is an advanced design concept to adopt air-cooled air guide in Type 92. Although the limitation of materials and technical level at that time led to the overall weight of Type 92 reaching 55 kg, it improved maintainability and reduced the protection of water tanks compared with water-cooled machine guns, thus improving the combat capability in harsh environments. In the way of ammunition supply, the metal plate is adopted, and the firepower sustainability of 3 rounds of ammunition plate is slightly insufficient, but the bullets are fixed well, and the jamming situation is greatly reduced. Moreover, the ammunition plate is beneficial to storage and transportation, and its adaptability to the environment is stronger than that of chain ammunition chain. It is more in line with the low ammunition consumption of the Japanese army. The 7.7-mm Sakamoto bullet with lethality basically meets the design requirements of the Japanese army, and the penetration of the bullet is no better than 6. 5 mm has a poor bullet, and it is more lethal. Compared with heavy machine guns with large caliber in other countries, the muzzle flame is smaller, which is beneficial to concealment and improves the battlefield survivability of machine gun groups. What I admire more is the hit rate of Japanese machine gunners. As we all know, as a heavy machine gun, fire suppression is an important purpose. On the battlefield, no one asks for a high hit rate of heavy machine guns. Compared with their ability to dump ammunition, heavy machine guns want momentum! However, the Japanese machine gunner has a high hit rate, and in general, the hit rate is above 3%. Even if it is used for fire suppression, it is easier to hit the target than other heavy machine guns. Because the Type 92 adopts an optical sight and the stability of the machine gun is good, the theoretical firing rate of 45 rounds per minute ensures the gunner's good handling ability. The relatively balanced performance made it easy for the Japanese army to use the 92-type heavy machine gun throughout World War II. [Transferred from the Iron Blood Community/] One, the battlefield in China. In the face of China's poorly equipped army, the Japanese can easily suppress our firepower on the battlefield with a small amount of automatic weapons. As an attacking party, the Japanese army obviously felt the biggest deficiency of Type 92, that is, it was too heavy and its maneuverability was poor. It can be said that the degree of mechanization in the Japanese invasion of China can be regarded as reciprocal compared with other axis countries. In addition, the terrain in China is rugged and changeable, and it is also common for people to carry horses. To a great extent, it restricted the maneuver of Japanese firepower. In contrast, if the Kuomintang army encounters the Japanese army, the ability of the 92-type heavy machine gun will not be fully reflected. Without the support of a fixed position, once the heavy machine gun is deployed, it will be hit by the enemy's firepower, and it will be difficult to transfer. It's easy to get rid of. Therefore, in the later defensive operations, the Japanese heavy machine guns brought us more obvious damage. In Songshan, a hidden machine gun position can often stop the attack of our company. After our army captured the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, it was mostly used for position defense. Compared with the Type 24 heavy machine gun, it was easier to survive in the war. After all, in that chaotic era, it was rare for people carrying machine guns to find water tanks. China's backward army can't even guarantee people's drinking water, so it is also a big problem to estimate the "drinking water" of machine guns. After several minutes of continuous shooting, the 92-type chip air-cooled gun barrel needs to be replaced to ensure normal use. However, in China, the actual firing rate of Japanese machine gunners can only reach 25 rounds per second. In wartime, it is generally not considered to replace the barrel. One is troublesome, and the other is unnecessary. A Japanese machine gun group consists of four people, and even if the war is damaged, two people can complete the shooting operation. In many film and television works, we usually see a Japanese shooter and a bomber operating a machine gun and killing them! It's hard to see an observer guiding the shooting. The overall quality of weapons and equipment in the Asian battlefield is not high, so that the 92-type heavy machine gun with ordinary performance can wickedly absorb the blood of our soldiers and civilians in Asia! 2. On the Pacific battlefield. After the Japanese army quickly occupied Malay archipelago, Philippine archipelago and other areas, it established excellent fortifications on the islands. The role of heavy machine guns as the king of position defense has gradually emerged. Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns are often seen in American TV series The Pacific. In Perisulfur Island, Iwo Jima Island, Saipan Island and other areas, the Type 92 heavy machine guns under semi-buried bunkers often give the landing American troops a head-on blow. Because of the small muzzle flame, by the time the US military engineers found the fire point, the US military was already dead everywhere. As an offensive force, the US military deeply realized how terrible the killing caused by heavy machine guns was. In the hot and humid environment of Taiping island, the Japanese bullet plate is more conducive to preservation and maintenance, which basically ensures the continuous use of machine guns. The heavy gun body may not be a defect, because the Japanese army has no intention of giving up or shifting its position except jade. Apart from Japanese snipers, the biggest headache for the US military is the hidden heavy machine gun emplacement. In the face of well-equipped American troops, Japanese machine gunners continue to shoot even if the barrel is red and deformed, and they are unable to use tools. It is also common for Japanese machine gunners to be burned by machine guns. In the face of such a group of fugitives, it is inevitable that the US military will pay heavy casualties. Because the Type 92 heavy machine gun uses pressing iron to promote firing instead of using trigger, it is difficult to continue to operate the machine gun once an arm is injured. Therefore, many Japanese soldiers are used to carrying out "long live" suicide charge after being injured. Compared with the Browning M2 of the US military, the Type 92 is really not much advanced, but in such a devilish army as the Japanese army, any poor weapon can cause terrible consequences. At least that's what the us military thinks. 3. The end of evil The life of Type 92 heavy machine guns is not long, and they are basically not used in production after the Japanese surrender. During the whole war, more than 4, pieces were produced, and at least 3, pieces were used in the battlefield in China. Our army also captured a lot of Type 92 heavy machine guns, which were found in the future liberation war and even the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Because Type 92 uses a 7.7 mm bullet, the versatility of the ammunition is poor, and the power of the bullet is also slightly insufficient, which is no longer suitable for further upgrading. Compared with the famous MG-42, it is really not at the same level. However, the special use background still explains the significance of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. Because I believe that behind every heavy machine gun of the Japanese army, there is a ferocious face of an evil Japanese Bushido soldier. Weapons have become a thing of the past, but we should always remember the evil and pain it caused!
