Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 876

After the gyroscope was shipped, it was directly sent to Yuanchang Airport for assembly instead of three stores.

The reason is that the three stores are located in the hinterland of the base area and in the Luliang Mountain area, so it is not very convenient to transport large things like "Gaohuo".

"High fire" is usually transported by car. In order to keep it secret, it needs to be packed in wooden boxes next to the transport, and occasionally it is transported by horse-drawn cart when the capacity is insufficient.

However, whether it is a car or a carriage, it is inevitable that there will be some problems if it is rickety all the way.

So another group of technicians were needed to follow the "high fire" to transport and adjust... At this time, Wang Xuexin really felt the embarrassment of the shortage of talents. Professor Su's group of researchers were so busy that they were engaged in research and development and worked as technicians. One person is used as two people, even Professor Su is no exception, he runs here or there every day.

But there is no way, they are the only educated people in the whole army... To be precise, the Eighth Route Army can find some educated people, but they are the only ones who can reach the level of "high fire".

The original Chang Airport was originally used for test firing, and now it is used as an assembly and reserve base for "High Fire".

The reason why Wang Xuexin chose Yuanchang Airport was because the recalcitrant army had built fortifications around the airport before, complete with bomb defense holes, underground warehouses, etc., and the entire fortification was tightly surrounded around the airport.

This also shows how backward the tactics of the recalcitrant army who are still in the state of warlords are.

The airport is a flat land, and the defense should be mainly on the periphery instead of directly building fortifications around the airport.

What is the point of building a tight circle of fortifications around the airport?

Isn't the airport to be able to take off and land planes safely?

If it is for this purpose, no matter how strong the stubborn army builds the fortifications around the airport, the devils can easily paralyze the entire airport by setting up a few mortars a few miles away.

Then, the stubborn army stationed in the airport fortifications were defeated.

Because they can't get foreign aid, one day they will run out of ammunition and food. The devils only need to surround them quietly, and then wait for the airport defenders to surrender.

The correct defense method should be based on the range of the enemy's artillery, and a defense line should be built at least a few kilometers away. If the defense line is breached, the airport has actually fallen, and there is no need to spend human lives and troops to defend it.

Wang Xuexin thinks that the reason why the stubborn army built such fortifications in the past is probably because the combat thinking is still in the era of warlords in melee, and the enemy is regarded as a warlord with outdated weapons and equipment, and has not yet jumped out of the thinking of plane warfare.

In the end, the fortifications that cost a lot of money to build didn't work at all... There have been too many things like this on the Chinese battlefield.

However, such fortifications were used by Wang Xuexin.

"High Fire" requires a lot of gunpowder.

One "high fire" has 35 kilograms of powder, and ten is 28000 kilograms... [-] "high fire" can be produced a day, which means that normally, [-] kilograms of gunpowder are needed every day.

Definitely a big gunpowder.

Fortunately, this thing does not require high quality gunpowder.

This is not like shells and bullets, which are for the safety of gunners and shooters. In addition, it is also a requirement for accuracy and equipment protection. It has higher requirements for the quality of gunpowder... The reloading bullets used by the Eighth Route Army used to clean the barrel after firing a few bullets. .

The "high fire" thing is not so arrogant. Its accuracy is not launched by the propellant, but by the self-regulation of the control system. As for the power... as long as the quantity is large enough, any gunpowder of any quality can exert enough power.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not lack gunpowder.

Not only is there no shortage, it should be said that there is excess capacity.

To be precise, it was after Wang Xuexin introduced the bullet production line and acid-making equipment of eagle sauce that the Eighth Route Army had the overcapacity caused by the production of high-quality gunpowder.

In the past, all members of the Eighth Route Army produced gunpowder. The people in the base area were at home in their free time. Shotguns are also a common thing... In this era, there is no problem of safety in production. The war ahead is so tense, and the whole country is about to be occupied by devils. Who cares about these.

However, as there are many places of production, and the methods used by the people for production are also different, the quality will inevitably be uneven.

But the Eighth Route Army at that time had such conditions, and it would be good to have this kind of homemade gunpowder. The bullets produced by this gunpowder were only ten rounds per capita.

However, after Wang Xuexin introduced equipment from Yingjiang to mechanize and standardize the production of bullets, these homemade gunpowder lost the market in an instant, and there was a serious overcapacity.

Let's say it is useful, the Eighth Route Army no longer likes to use this kind of bullets and explosives.

Say it is useless, many guerrillas still carry spears and broadswords.

As a result, this kind of homemade explosives is in an embarrassing situation. Many places are stored in warehouses and I don't know where to send them.

As soon as the "high fire" came out, this problem was perfectly solved.

But of course, considering the combat power and effect, "high fire" should also use good quality and powerful gunpowder.

But that's a matter for the future, when the industry develops to the point where the Eighth Route Army can afford it.

It might be a good thing to send tons and tons of these "surplus" gunpowder to the devils now.

These gunpowder will certainly not be transported to the arsenal for assembly there.

Just kidding, where is the arsenal?
Machines, equipment, and talent gathering places, where gunpowder is piled up in piles, and if something goes wrong, it will all be burned.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin’s operation of “High Fire” is as follows:
The gunpowder is packaged into bags of explosives and stored and transported separately from the "high fire".

Only when the "high fire" arrives on the battlefield or when preparing for the battle, bags of explosives are temporarily loaded into the "high fire" to prepare for launch.

Eight hundred kilograms, if calculated on the basis of a person's weight of 50 kilograms, it doesn't take much time to pack the weight of more than a dozen people.

Wang Xuexin believes that safety should be the first priority in this matter, otherwise one detonation will cause a martyrdom explosion, and the explosion will be a large area.

Usually, the gunpowder is stored in a warehouse a few miles away from the original airport.

The "high fire" was transported from the arsenal to the airport, and the gyroscope was also transported from Xi'an to the airport.

After installing the gyroscope, conduct a preliminary test first, such as putting it on the table to try whether the automatic control system is flexible, whether the operation is correct, and so on.

In wartime, the tested high fire and gunpowder are transported to the position together, as well as the rocket engine.

Temporary loading while preparing, then ready to launch towards the target.

These preparations are all managed by Professor Su, and they are methodical.

Fortunately, Wang Xuexin got a good assistant.
