(Dingtian Novels.dtxsj.) The achievements of industrial and military construction in the Central Plains Border Region are far more than this. Taking 2037 as an example, although most of the new production capacities did not start formal production until the end of the year, the whole year was still
It produces 60,000 tons of steel, 100,000 tons of crude oil, 2 million penicillins, 3 million tons of cement, 200,000 tons of industrial triacids, and generates more than 300 million kWh of electricity. The military industry is even more fruitful, with a total of 300 million bullets produced throughout the year.
, more than 200,000 rounds of rifle grenades, more than 1 million hand grenades, more than 1 million landmines, more than 60,000 rifles (50,000 semi-automatic, more than 10,000 automatic. [.yzuuPoint] (searched nest.souduwo.)), submachine guns
More than 100,000 pieces, more than 1,800 mortars, more than 2,000 light machine guns, nearly 150,000 artillery shells (including mortar shells)...
In the military industry, not only has production increased significantly, a large number of new weapons have also been successfully developed, providing more and better enemy-killing weapons to the soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War. Naturally, the first to be completed was the 40mm anti-tank rocket launcher, which was used by Hu Weidong
The anti-tank weapon named "Changying-1 Type 40mm Rocket Launcher" is designed with reference to the classic 69-3 Rocket Launcher of later generations in history. Its combat effectiveness far exceeds this era. Its astonishing armor penetration depth of 180mm65° is enough to easily destroy
Any kind of tank during World War II, even the King Tiger heavy tank that Nazi Germany claimed to be indestructible later in history, is no exception.[]
Using such huge power to deal with Japanese thin-skinned tanks feels like killing a chicken with a knife. For this reason, many technicians believe that its excessive performance requirements needlessly increase production costs, but Hu Weidong pointed out, "The chairman taught us.
The world is moving and developing, and we are making progress, won’t the Japanese tanks make progress? If we are only satisfied with destroying the tanks currently in service of the Japanese army, we will study newer rocket launchers after their new tanks are equipped with troops.
How many of our front-line commanders and fighters had to sacrifice in vain during the intervening period? Not to mention that such a small thing, no matter how expensive it is, how expensive can it be? It makes sense to consider the cost of aircraft and tanks more...
"
Hu Weidong's speech dispelled the concerns of the technical staff. The idea of "advanced research" was therefore deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But at this time, perhaps only Taizu understood that this extremely sharp individual anti-tank weapon was not designed to deal with the Japanese at all.
. Its real imaginary enemy is actually the big brother in the north...
Precisely because Hu Weidong knew that the powerful armor-breaking capability of the "Changying-1 40mm rocket launcher" would not be used in the Anti-Japanese War, he also attached great importance to its supporting soft-kill rockets. Among them, the first to be successfully developed was the anti-personnel grenade, and more
To be precise, [.yzuu point] is a steel ball anti-personnel bomb. This bomb draws on the design ideas of some anti-infantry jump mines. After the rocket lands on the ground, it jumps to a height of more than 1 meter through the anti-throwing device and then explodes in the air. Its dense killing radius
Up to 20m, its power is equivalent to that of a 122mm cannon howitzer, with a range of up to 1500m, making it extremely powerful in field battles. The cloud-burst rocket (see below for details) that was successfully developed later is a great weapon against permanent fortifications.
It can also be used as an incendiary bomb. After the successful development of these two types of rockets, many Type 92 infantry guns captured in previous battles have become completely useless (the effect of direct-aimed shelling is not as good as that of rocket launchers, and long-range shelling is not as good as that of forced-fire bombs).
Artillery...). Soon they were all given to the Eighth Route Army by Hu Weidong (due to the rapid production speed of rocket launchers, the Eighth Route Army had all equipped them within a year, so all the infantry artillery was lost to the "Japanese Column"
...), another convenient favor...
In fact, Hu Weidong once thought about developing a one-time portable anti-tank rocket launch system similar to Nazi Germany's "Iron Fist" and later China's PF89 series individual rocket launchers. In terms of firepower density, it is definitely much greater than the RPG series rocket launchers that occupy the organization.
Fortunately, he soon discovered that this design idea was completely inconsistent with China's current national and military conditions and decisively gave up. The reason is actually very simple. In principle, one-time individual rocket launchers need to be manned by one person, and the target moves at high speed.
It is not easy to build a tank. Why does each soldier have to test-fire a few rounds before actual combat? Considering that it is almost certain that the number of squadrons will exceed 10 million in the latter part of World War II, if one-time individual rocket launchers are used, how many units must be produced?
?….
Hu Weidong knew very well that even if the industrialization of the border area went smoothly, he would never be able to produce so many disposable individual rocket launchers. Historically, Nazi Germany adopted the "Iron Fist" because of two reasons. First, Germany's population and army size were relatively small.
In terms of its industrial strength, it is relatively small. Secondly, the cultural quality of German officers and soldiers is generally very high, which allows them to generally master this new weapon quickly, thus greatly reducing the training consumption. These are the characteristics of today's China
and squadron did not have the conditions, so Hu Weidong had to choose to occupy the RPG series rocket launchers. In this way, each infantry squad only needs to be equipped with a dedicated rocket launcher. The demand for rocket launchers is naturally greatly reduced, and a dedicated rocket launcher is used to shoot.
The accuracy is certainly much higher than that of ordinary infantry who have simply been trained, which further saves ammunition, thus greatly reducing the pressure on military production...
What has a greater impact is the successful development of the 107mm 12-tube rocket launcher. In addition to its important role in guerrilla warfare and special warfare, as the world's first rocket launcher, it can also completely catch the enemy by surprise in large group operations.
Hu Weidong specifically raised the level of confidentiality and planned to surprise the Japanese when the quantity was enough. The 122mm 40-tube vehicle-mounted rocket launcher with a longer range and greater power also began to be developed immediately after Hu Weidong returned to China...
In addition, during Hu Weidong's visit to the Soviet Union, 105mm light howitzer (this is the official name, but soldiers are still used to calling it "105 Mountain Cannon", and will use this name in the future.) 122mm cannon howitzer, 25mm anti-aircraft machine gun, 37mm caliber
A large number of advanced equipment that transcended the times, such as anti-aircraft guns, aerial guns, and tank guns, were successfully developed. Coupled with the continuous improvement of auxiliary equipment such as radars and radio proximity fuzes, and the rapid expansion of border industry and military production capacity, 1938 was destined to become the history of the people's military industry.
A crucial turning point...
However, what Hu Weidong attaches most importance to is the cloud explosive bomb, which will be called "sub-nuclear weapon" in later generations. Its low price and huge power are already attractive enough, and the high temperature, high pressure and high temperature generated when it deflagrates
The negative oxygen suffocation effect has a miraculous effect on enemies hiding in fortresses that cannot be matched by any other conventional weapon. Sooner or later, the squadron will counterattack the Northeast. Without this kind of powerful weapon, the Japanese Kwantung Army has been building for many years.
It is really difficult to deal with so many strong fortresses. Large-caliber heavy artillery and heavy high-explosive aerial bombs may be effective, but the cost is many times higher than cloud burst bombs...
