"Commander, Chief of Staff, this is a great idea to replace the rifle!"
Zhang Henian slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Our First Division fought the most with the Russians with bayonets. In fact, many soldiers survived, mainly because the guns in their hands were not suitable. We Chinese are shorter than the Russians, but we are stronger
It is more flexible and has more endurance. Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the beginning, we can often kill with one blow, and we can last longer. It’s just that the Mosinna is too heavy and long, which seriously affects our flexibility.
Sexuality also increases physical exertion. A slight deviation can make a huge difference, and a slight deviation may be a life!"
Personal experience is more convincing. The officers present nodded frequently, and Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "In the past, we had no choice but to use Mosin Naga. Now that we have a certain industrial base, we must create it for all soldiers."
The most suitable weapon."
Zhang Tinglan looked at Tao Jiping and the others as he spoke, and Tao Jiping hurriedly said: "Commander, we in the military industry are fully confident in completing the design of the new rifle. In fact, we conducted research in this area more than two years ago. Last year's
At that time, a talented person joined the arsenal. He is now responsible for leading the gun design team, and has already achieved considerable results. As long as the commander needs it, he can come up with the final plan within half a year."
"Minister Tao, who is this great talent you are talking about? Can you please introduce him so that we can know a little bit about him?" Zhang Tinglan asked with a smile.
"Commander, this is the person I recommended to Minister Tao!" Zhu Qinglan on the side said: "His name is Han Linchun. He is a student of the sixth batch of the Japanese Military Academy. After returning to China, during the Qing government, he was specifically responsible for ordnance. He served as
He has served as a military attache stationed in the United States and has also been to Europe for military inspections. He is very knowledgeable about weapons shooting. Just last year, Han Linchun joined us and after understanding his talents, I recommended him to go to the arsenal."
Zhu Qinglan briefly introduced Han Linchun's situation to everyone. Zhang Tinglan closed his eyes slightly and thought about it. This Han Linchun was not an unknown person. In the original history, he was also a general of Fengjun. When he was in charge of Fengtian Arsenal, he imitated Mauser.
rifle, designed the Liao 13-type rifle, and now let him take the lead in developing a new rifle. There should be no problem.
In the past, a cadet student was definitely a treasure, but now that Fengjun has a big business, it is difficult for ordinary talents to attract Zhang Tinglan's attention. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan did not know about Han Linchun's defection to Fengjun. But since the factory had already
With preparation, it can be seen that they are very proactive, and Zhang Tinglan is also very pleased.
"Minister Tao, regarding the issue of rifles, I prefer to use seven-millimeter bullets. The Chinese can withstand the recoil, and the accuracy and power of the bullets are not bad. In addition, when designing firearms, you cannot just rely on designers to do it behind closed doors.
It is especially critical for them to remember that they are shooting weapons for soldiers, not designing weapons for themselves!"
In fact, this point raised by Zhang Tinglan is exactly one of the principles used by the Soviets in designing weapons. No matter how much later generations criticize Soviet-made weapons, one thing cannot be denied. Soviet-made weapons are truly designed from the perspective of soldiers and are the most suitable weapons for the battlefield.
.
Fengjun does not have such high industrial capabilities, nor does it have much financial resources to squander. Therefore, weapons must suit the needs of soldiers so that they can exert their greatest power.
"Commander, since you said it, I think it is better to let soldiers, workers, and maintenance personnel join in, and everyone can work together to ensure the power and adaptability of the weapon. At the same time, we must simplify the process as much as possible, reduce the cost, and maintain it as well.
Simple and easy." Tao Jiping's statement is equivalent to setting the direction for the new rifle.
Everyone present was eager to try it. After all, this was a brand new design model, and they also hoped to better meet their own requirements. The debate on the court became more and more intense. When Zhang Tinglan saw that the situation was getting out of control, he slammed the table: "
Don't argue anymore. Let soldiers participate in the design to make the weapons more suitable, instead of causing you trouble. Just take out 20 excellent shooting experts from the first division, cavalry, and special forces, and don't mix in the others.
.”
Zhang Tinglan made the final decision, and no one dared to argue anymore. Jiang Baili continued: "Redesigning the rifle means that the entire light weapons system must change. Light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and carbine rifles must all be prepared for replacement. In addition, in
In terms of main battle equipment, armored strength has proven its value. We must focus on development and develop more powerful tanks and armored vehicles. At the same time, we must also have anti-tank weapons, such as tank destroyers, self-propelled artillery, etc.
Research and development must also be put on the agenda. In short, we must create the most powerful Iron Fist."
If there were still disagreements on the development of tanks in the past, now, developing armored forces has become the consensus of the Fengjun Army.
Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "We currently only have one tank brigade, and we will expand it in the next step. Within three years, Fengjun will establish at least three powerful armored divisions. In addition to the existing troops, I will choose some performance
Troops with outstanding and excellent military qualities will be given priority to build armored forces."
Facing a huge scented bait, all the generals present were excited. They had seen the power of the armored troops, so they naturally aspired to become an armored iron fist. They also knew that to achieve this step, they must perform well and maintain strict military discipline.
It has also become inevitable.
Jiang Baili continued: "In addition to the army's equipment, the navy and air force must also strengthen their development. The air force must focus on developing fighter jets and bombers. The air force takes the commanding heights of the war and plays an extremely important role in the battle. The Russians
This failure was largely due to the lack of air superiority. In terms of navy, we have leased the right to use the Vladivostok port from the Far Eastern Empire, so the scope of naval activities has increased a lot. We need to develop torpedo boats, fast patrol boats and other near-shore
For defensive weapons, we will focus on the construction of submarines to ensure that we have the ability to counter enemy surface forces in offshore waters."
Fengjun had already obtained the blueprints of German submarines, and as cooperation with Germany deepened, Germany also handed over submarine technology to Fengjun and sent experts for guidance.
Just a month ago, Fengjun's first self-built submarine was launched. This submarine was modeled after a German U-type submarine, with an underwater displacement of about 700 tons. It is now being trialled in the Bohai Sea. Zhang Tinglan has already issued an order,
The quantity of production must be increased to replace the old submarines acquired from Russia.
Jiang Fangzhen clearly introduced the weapons update policy of the three armies, but there were too many specific operational details. There is no need to explain it too clearly in this kind of conference.
Finally, Zhang Tinglan made a concluding speech: "The upgrading of weapons is only one aspect. The most important thing is to have a sense of mission as a soldier. The more victorious you are, the less arrogant you are. From now on, Fengjun must set a rule for everything.
After the battle, you must first find problems, and then conduct targeted training to make up for your shortcomings. After three months to half a year, you can relax and rest. In everything, strike while the iron is hot. You must remember this and train your troops well.
"
After a few words of instruction, Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "In addition, I want to tell you that the main force of the border defense army will be expanded. From the original seven divisions, it will reach 13 divisions, which means that you all have the opportunity to advance one step higher. Brigade
The commander is expected to become a division commander, and the division commander is expected to be promoted to a corps commander. As for how to behave, you all know in your mind. I won’t say more. The meeting is adjourned!"
Zhang Tinglan turned around and left with Jiang Baili and the others, leaving these generals behind. They all felt excited. The commander-in-chief was really amazing. He was going to double his troops. It was great news. The weapons were updated.
, the military strength is greatly expanded, the combat effectiveness of Fengjun will definitely increase exponentially, and the appeal of the Fengxi group will also become greater and greater.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Every victory and every rectification made Fengjun more and more loyal to the leader Zhang Tinglan. These generals were thinking about the commander's request. After returning to the army,
, we must start training.
After leaving the venue, Zhang Tinglan, Jiang Fangzhen and Yang Yuting went to the small conference room at the back to discuss other matters.
"Honestly, in addition to exposing some problems with weapons, this battle also has a serious shortcoming, which is the lack of logistics support capabilities. This is manifested in two aspects. The first is the lack of delivery vehicles such as trucks.
It has greatly restricted the combat effectiveness of the armored forces. Another point is that the number of engineering troops is still lacking. For example, in operations such as repairing roads, building airports, warehouses, etc., it still seems a bit slow."
Yang Yuting pointed out this problem sharply, and Jiang Baili nodded frequently: "For the sake of low cost, we used a large number of prisoners of war as coolies. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is definitely not possible to rely on them all the time."
Zhang Tinglan also very much agreed with their proposal. If Fengjun wants to carry out mechanized construction, the first thing it must solve is the logistics problem. Without sufficient support, it is impossible to fight a modern war.
"I have also thought about the issue of transportation vehicles. Large trucks will be imported into production lines from Germany. I have also contacted the Americans and purchased production lines for pickup trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles from them. In addition, we are also stepping up efforts to break through the barriers of diesel engine technology.
A group of freight vehicles will appear soon."
"Self-developed and combined with foreign imports is definitely one of the best methods at present. I also agree very much. I just don't know what this pickup truck is and what's so great about it?"
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This thing is simple to say. It is the front of a car and the body of a truck. It is comfortable to drive and has considerable freight capacity. It has a wide range of applications. It can pull goods and people. It can be used to pull both goods and people.
It’s comfortable and off-road, and with a machine gun and cannon mounted on it, it can become a hit-and-run sneak attack weapon!”
In later generations, you can often see militants riding in pickup trucks on TV. AK47, RPG, and pickup trucks are almost the symbols of terrorists. They drive pickup trucks to appear and disappear, and they can carry any weapons and equipment on them. They have powerful flexibility.
Sex can cause even the most powerful armies in the world to suffer.
In the army, pickup trucks also play a very important role. A general pickup truck can carry a ton of cargo without any problems. It can be used as an artillery tractor, can mount anti-aircraft machine guns on it, and can transport supplies and wounded people. Just like a jeep, it is simply a
All-rounder.
After hearing Zhang Tinglan's introduction, Yang Yuting immediately became interested: "I'd like to say, if I really follow what you said, this pickup truck is a good thing. How can Americans sell it to us so easily?"
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Tiger also takes a nap. The pickup truck was just designed by the Americans. The main sales target is the cowboys in the American West. This kind of vehicle is more comfortable than a truck, has a larger cargo capacity than a car, and its off-road performance is also quite good.
. But it has just been launched, and Americans have not really realized the value. Our personnel in the United States have focused on this thing and bought the design patent and production line. It cost a total of 800,000 US dollars, which can be said to be a pick-up.
Got a big deal!”
Jiang Fangzhen also laughed: "It is not easy to take advantage of the Americans, but we must get the production line back quickly. We must produce it as soon as possible and equip the troops. Now the pace of war is getting faster and faster. We must
Just put wheels on the infantry!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
