As the head of the Military Industry Bureau, Chen Kang sat in the main seat with a serious face and his eyes fixed on the document report in front of him. The title read "Military Industry Bureau Heavy Weapons Research and Development Plan". Obviously, the content of the report forced him to take it seriously.
Below the left hand are the first persons in charge of each department of the Military Industry Bureau, and on the left are the highest technical group positions. Zhuang Qianding sits quietly at the first position, followed by Yu Hua, and the next two positions are temporarily vacant.
Since the two team members Lin Wan and Zhao Zhangcheng are far apart, it will take some time to get here.
Before the meeting started, Lu Yuan and other department heads were chatting quietly, exchanging the recent development status and related issues of each department.
"Old Tang, can your gunpowder department increase the supply? Shenmu Iron Mine and Shenmu Coal Mine have begun to experience a shortage of explosives. Adding the Jingbian Copper Mine and various mines, the total shortage is about two hundred kilograms per day."
"I don't know about the mining department. Our ordnance engineering department is also short. The shortage of single-base propellants and yellow explosives is close to 100 kilograms per day."
"Lao He, Lao Hu, I know you are in short supply, but I really can't help it. Due to transportation capacity problems, the supply of cotton and toluene is seriously insufficient. I only have a small amount every day, so please bear with it for the time being."
"well……"
"Lao Lu, the transportation capacity problem is extremely serious. It has highly affected the movement of materials between various departments and factories. Even the troops have been seriously affected. All food and ammunition materials depend on the soldiers."
"Brothers, please don't look at me like that. I can't help it. If the transportation capacity is enough, I didn't mention it. He Yan, your mining department has a daily transportation quota of 1,000 tons, Lao Tang's gunpowder department has a daily transportation quota of 500 tons, and Lao Hu's soldiers have a daily transportation quota of 1,000 tons.
The engineering department has 2,000 tons, not to mention Lao Zhao’s engineering department, which has a daily transportation capacity quota of 5,000 tons, how about it?"
The four of them were speechless: "..."
Yu Hua, who was sitting across the conference table, laughed and shook his head when he heard the conversation between Lu Yuan and others. He did not disclose the good news that the 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine prototype was completed. After all, the Red Star tractor that solved the transportation problem has not yet been built in a real sense.
, the whole person continued to look at the notebook, holding the pencil in his right hand, and sketched standard lines.
On the blank page of the notebook, there is a creation that condenses the wisdom of the Soviet giants - the electroslag resmelting furnace.
The world's first electroslag remelting furnace was born in the United States in 1930, but it was not taken seriously. After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union conducted all-round in-depth research and development work based on the principle of electroslag remelting, and finally successfully developed a furnace with practical significance and
The electroslag remelting technology with industrial production value has turned it from an ugly duckling into a white swan. The electroslag steel smelted using electroslag remelting technology has greatly improved the shooting life and overall performance of the artillery.
Fortunately, Yu Hua, who is a hardcore military fan of later generations, has painstakingly learned the electroslag remelting technology. From a technical point of view, the principle of electroslag remelting is very simple, but from the perspective of future generations, the mature version of electroslag remelting
The melting technique is equally simple.
What Yu Hua has to do is to imitate it perfectly and copy homework as a genius academic master.
"The transportation capacity issue still has to wait for the Red Star Tractor. Please be patient. Professor Zhuang has not slept for a long time. Mr. Yu Hua has just come back. Please keep your voice down." Zhao Shu from the Engineering Department broke the brief silence and glanced at the meeting opposite the conference table.
Zhuang Qianding, who was resting with his eyes closed, and Yu Hua, who was studying with his head down, whispered.
"I don't know what the situation is like at the south entrance. Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division is the most elite unit in the Japanese army's combat sequence. Its combat effectiveness is very strong. I really don't know what Chiang Kai-shek thinks. With only Tang Enbo and Fu Zuoyi's 60,000 people,
How is it possible to defend the south entrance?" Lu Yuan nodded, then changed the topic and mentioned the ongoing battle of the south entrance.
According to the latest intelligence, the Japanese Fifth Division has arrived in the outskirts of Nankou, and its vanguard troops are engaged in fierce battles with the defenders.
As the gateway to and from the northwest, the south entrance is of great importance. Once it falls, the Japanese army can march straight in along the Pingsui Line and march to the northwest.
Regarding the Battle of Nankou, the base area and the Red Army attached great importance to it, ranking first in terms of attention.
There is no way, the geographical location of Nankou is too important, and the final result of this battle will affect the next series of arrangements and plans of the Red Army.
If defeated, we must be prepared to face the Japanese invaders.
If you win, you can continue to develop and hibernate for a while to accumulate strength.
However, the possibility that Tang Enbo could successfully defend the south entrance was too low. With a total force of 60,000, it was necessary to defend against an attack by 70,000 Japanese troops. Is this possible?
After hearing this, Hu Zhigang shook his head and sighed: "This Chairman is planning to bet on Shanghai to launch a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders and attract a large number of Japanese troops. The idea is good, but there is almost no danger in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Although the southern water network can slow down the Japanese troops
Tanks and cars, but we have warships and aircraft. It would be better if the strategic direction is in the north. Relying on the layers of defenses in the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River natural dangers, and with the benefit of the Central Army’s German weapons division, it may not be impossible to stop the Japanese invaders. Even if it cannot be stopped, then
It can also effectively consume the effective strength of the Japanese army."
Hu Zhigang, who once served as a combat staff officer, gave his own strategic insights.
Strategic direction to the north?
Yu Hua, who was lowering his head to draw a sketch of the electroslag resmelting furnace, was stunned for a moment when he heard Hu Zhigang's words. To be honest, he had not thought about the War of Resistance from this perspective.
Thinking of this, Yu Hua, whose thoughts had stopped, fortunately stopped working and started thinking.
If Zhongzheng Brother did not take the initiative to initiate the Songhu Battle, but instead placed the strategic focus in the north, and transferred the elites of the Central Army such as the German Arms Division and the Teaching Corps to the north for defense, what would be the result?
This question is very interesting.
The north is mountainous, has complex terrain, and is blocked by the natural dangers of the Yellow River. Historically, the defenders in the north were mostly miscellaneous troops, and the Central Army had very few elites. If Brother Zhongzheng really places the Central Army Group in his hand in the north...
As Hu Zhigang said, it is very possible to block the Japanese invaders' offensive steps. If not blocked, they can still kill a large number of the opponent's effective forces and severely damage Japan's national strength.
Lu Yuan said: "Look at the results. The north is better than the north, and the south is better than the south. It depends on how our chairman fights. If we can achieve the same effect as the first Songhu War of Resistance, it will be great. Japan
Although the enemy is powerful, it is by no means invincible. As long as it consumes a large amount of its vitality, China has a chance of winning."
The first Songhu War of Resistance ended with the defeat of the Japanese army. During the entire battle, the Japanese army changed their commanders four times and suffered tens of thousands of casualties. They still could not capture the national defense positions. The exchange ratio between the two sides was close to one to one.
If this Songhu Battle can have the same effect as the first Songhu War of Resistance, that would also be a good thing.
pity……
When Yu Hua heard what Lu Yuan said, he sighed softly. Although the Battle of Songhu broke the Japanese army's declaration of destroying China in three months, due to Brother Zhongzheng's micromanaging and hesitation, the main force of the millions of Chinese troops suffered heavy casualties.
, a serious military defeat, which ultimately left Nanjing in a situation where it had no troops to defend.
"Dong dong!" At this moment, the door of the conference room knocked, and Lin Wan and Zhao Zhangcheng appeared.
"Report, team member Lin Wan has arrived." Lin Wan was panting and quickly walked into the conference room, straightened her back, and raised her hand to salute Chen Kang. When her eyes glanced at Yu Hua on the right side of the conference table, her eyes immediately lit up, and she was a little surprised.
"Report, team member Zhao Zhangcheng has arrived." Zhao Zhangcheng followed closely and said seriously.
The two people who are mainly responsible for cement affairs have just returned from the Ansai Cement Plant, which is newly under construction. This cement plant is located in the Ansai area northwest of Yancheng. It has a designed annual output of 50,000 tons. It is based on rotary kiln technology as the core equipment and is currently under construction.
The state of laying the foundation.
Seeing Lin Wan and Zhao Zhangcheng, Chen Kang raised his head, nodded, and instructed: "I'll just wait for you, sit down."
"yes!"
The two nodded and came to their seats to sit down.
"Okay, everyone is here. Today's meeting is mainly to announce two things to everyone, which are classified as top secret." After the two of them sat down, Chen Kang faced everyone, looked around, and said seriously.
Everyone's expressions were condensed, their eyes were filled with anticipation, and all their eyes were focused on Chen Kang.
The main event is here.
Chen Kang did not delay, stood up, took out a top-secret red-headed document, and went straight to the point, reading the content: "Let me talk about the first thing first. The test furnace of Yulin Iron and Steel Plant passed the trial production acceptance at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and officially entered industrial production.
stage, it was announced that the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology was successfully developed. This technology is of immeasurable value to our base area and plays a foundational role in the steel industry in our base area. The Yulin Iron and Steel Plant based on oxygen top-blown converter technology is designed to have an annual steel output of
35,000 tons.”
"Bang bang bang!" In an instant, Lu Yuan, the head of the general affairs department, clapped his hands with joy on his face. Even though he already knew the news, he still couldn't help but be happy about it.
The successful research and development of oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology is of extraordinary significance. It has achieved a historic breakthrough in the field of steel and metallurgy in the base area from "zero to one" and built the most important cornerstone.
unprecedented heights.
The starting point of other people's steel industry is either the backward and old traditional converter steelmaking process, or the open-hearth steelmaking process at great expense. The steel industry in the base area is different, starting with the oxygen converter steelmaking process.
Birth is the pinnacle!
The rest of the department heads and the top technical team did the same. They clapped their hands and applauded, feeling happy for this incident.
"During the research process of oxygen top-blown converter technology, Yu Hua, an employed scientific and technical personnel, plays a leading role at all times, and Professor Zhuang Qianding wholeheartedly assists in research and development. In order to thank the two technicians for their dedication and efforts, after research and decision by the superior organization, this award is specially awarded
Technicians Yu Hua and Zhuang Qianding received the "Medal of Friendship of the Soviet Republic of China". In addition, they also fulfilled the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology buyout contract. Taihang Industrial Company paid a one-time technical buyout fee of 150,000 yuan to purchase Yu Hua and
The oxygen top-blown converter technology developed together with Professor Zhuang Qianding."
When the applause died down, Chen Kang continued to read out the contents of the top-secret red-headed document, his voice serious and solemn.
Medal of Friendship of the Chinese Soviet Republic!
Fulfill the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology buyout contract and pay the technology buyout fee of 150,000 yuan!
