Chapter 329 Heavy Weapon Manufacturing System!
"Sir, why are you here?" The sun was shining brightly at noon. In the cave conference room, Chen Kang was welcoming the sudden arrival of guests, adding a cup of rough tea, and looking at General Liu with curiosity.

As far as he knows, the reorganization work is underway in the army, and the entire Red Army will basically be reorganized into the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army. General Liu and several other chiefs are all busy because of this.

Although the designation and organization have not been completely determined, the early preparations have been carried out, and General Liu will be one of the main military officers after the reorganization of the army.

Chen Kang is very clear about these news.

"The boss asked me to come over this time to see the production status of the mortars of the Military Industry Bureau, and talk to you by the way."

General Liu showed an elegant and easy-going smile: "The first batch of mortar class students have graduated, and the [-]-year-old mortars are officially installed in the army. Thanks to you, Cripple Chen, the boss gave me two mortar companies to serve as Directly under the mortar battalion, the firepower has been greatly enhanced. The performance and accuracy of the [-]-year-old mortar are very good. There is a back door here. In addition, various weapons and ammunition such as hand-loaded ammunition and grenades are also widely praised. The boss said that it is right to hand over the Military Industry Bureau to you.”

In the end, the words were full of praise.

The Military Industry Bureau under Chen Kang's leadership is obvious to all. It not only established major industrial categories for the base area, but also realized the independent manufacture of mortars and solved the most difficult ammunition supply problem.

What are grades?

This is!
Today's Northern Shaanxi Military Industry Bureau has fully surpassed the peak period of the Guantian Arsenal in the Soviet District and reached a height that the organization has never imagined since its birth.

"Chief, I don't have such great skills. Without the help of Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua, our Military Industry Bureau still has a headache on how to make mortars and bullets. At best, I am a big nanny." Chen Kang shook his head, but he did not dare to answer. Taking credit, the words revealed a sigh, and said softly.

Big nanny, this is the label and identity that Chen Kang has defined for himself. He will be responsible for any organizational and coordination issues involved. The purpose of this is only one - never to cause trouble to the highest technology team, and to ensure its smoothness. run.

One has to be self-aware.

In terms of fighting, regardless of actual combat experience or talent, he can be called the existence at the top of the pyramid of the army's commanders and fighters.

When it comes to technology, I'm not even as good as a leader.

"The self-awareness of being a great nanny is already stronger than that of [-]% of the people. In the field of technology, you are most afraid of a layman leading an expert, and even more avoiding a layman's blind command. You just need to have this awareness."

General Liu shook his head ineffectively, and joked: "How about the production of mortars? According to the latest information, after the Japanese army captured the Pingjin area, they planned to go south along the Jinpu, Pinghan, and Pingsui roads to attack the hinterland of China. The Japanese Fifth Division A total of 7 people from the regiment and other troops marched towards the south entrance, intending to occupy the south entrance and open the Great Northwest Gate, but there were only about 6 people from Fu Zuoyi and Tang Enbo's troops at the south entrance, and the situation was not optimistic."

Nankou, located about 45 kilometers northwest of Beiping, where the remnants of Yanshan and Taihang Mountains meet, is an important pass to the south of the Juyongguan Great Wall.

If Nankou falls, the Japanese army can use the Ping-Suiyuan line to drive straight in, and the troops will approach Suiyuan and point at Shanxi.

At present, there are about 6 troops stationed in the Nankou area. The commanders Fu Zuoyi and Tang Enbo, and their opponents are the famous Japanese generals who planned the September 7th Incident-Shengshiro Banhenge. The total strength of the Japanese army, mainly the Fifth Division, is about [-]. Cooperating with aircraft, the war situation is very serious.

A full [-] Japanese troops!

According to the results of the sand table deduction at the Red Army Headquarters, it is extremely unlikely that Fu Zuoyi and Tang Enbo will be able to successfully defend the Nankou area. The firepower advantages brought by the Japanese aircraft, tanks and artillery can offset the disadvantage of complex terrain when attacking Nankou. The Japanese have a [-]% chance of winning.

Yes, nine out of ten.

Although the Red Army Headquarters sand table deduction added the intelligence advantages provided by the previous red secret deciphering materials, this hard power gap between national power and national power still cannot be filled.

"Not long ago, our Military Industry Bureau held a high-level meeting and decided to increase the production of various types of weapons and ammunition by 40%. At present, it can produce 6 Sanqi forcing guns every day, and Nissan is equipped with 280 artillery shells." Seriously, frowning slightly, he immediately gave the current production data of mortars and shells.

General Liu thoughtfully said: "1.5 mortar batteries per day is not a small amount in an objective sense. It is much better than before, but I don't know why, but I always feel that it is not enough..."

The words fell, and some sighs.

A standard battery has four guns, and six guns is a half-gun battery.

General Liu didn't know whether he was greedy or lack of psychology. From a subjective point of view, he felt that there were six guns a day... very few. The Japanese army used howitzers and mountain guns of various calibers during the war in Pingjin, and the firepower was terrifying.

But from an objective point of view, compared with the predicament of the Guantian Arsenal, which was unable to manufacture mortars, the Military Industry Bureau has six guns a day by no means, and it can even be said to be unprecedentedly rich.

Six doors a day, a full 180 doors in January.

This feeling is too strange.

"..."

Chen Kang couldn't help laughing and laughing when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Sir, the main production resources of the Military Industry Bureau are currently supplied to industrial construction. When the goal of industrial construction is completed, the original production resources and new resources generated by industrial construction will be fully supplied to military production. According to Professor Zhuang Qianding According to the analysis report provided, it is estimated that the daily production capacity of the Panax notoginseng and its associated shells will be increased by more than five times."

"Five times? More than?"

This time it was General Liu's turn to be stunned, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes: "How could there be so many? Yan Laoxi's lifeblood, the Taiyuan Arsenal, has a monthly production capacity of only 150 to [-] mortars."

The base number of six doors per day is five times, which is equal to thirty doors per day, and up to nine hundred doors in 30 days per month!
This is nine times the mortar production capacity of Taiyuan Arsenal!
"According to Professor Zhuang's words, Yan Laoxi cannot produce high-quality gun steel. The raw materials for guns and barrels are all processed from raw materials. The only steel factory has low production capacity and cannot meet the needs of various ammunition production. Unlike us, Yulin Steel The factory can produce a variety of high-quality steel in large quantities, and has excellent metal processing capabilities, with two major advantages in metallurgy and metal processing."

Chen Kang explained with a smile: "We are not processing materials, but self-sufficient."

"I see... I forgot about this, I didn't expect us to progress so fast." General Liu heard the words, and then he realized the difference between himself and Yan Laoxi.

In fact, in the military industry of the Republic of China, apart from the Shen Bing in the early years, various arsenals such as Tai Bing, Han Bing, Gong Bing, Jin Bing, etc., all rely on imported raw materials for artillery barrels, which are of the nature of processing.

The low-quality steel produced by the Hanyang Iron Works can only be used for mortars.

"More than that, in addition to the increase in the production capacity of Panax notoginseng, according to the military planning of Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua, when the military production is fully transferred, we will start the 105mm towed howitzer project, the 120mm heavy mortar project, 40 Millimeter anti-aircraft guns and 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns achieve the core goal of transforming from a light weapons manufacturing system to a heavy weapons manufacturing system." Chen Kang continued.

"Chen Lame, what did you say?!" General Liu, who had already heard Chen Kang's words, had a ghostly expression on his face, looked at Chen Kang in disbelief, and couldn't help swallowing.

This time, instead of being stunned, he was simply stunned.

Take a look at what heavy weapons Chen Kang said about—

105mm towed howitzer,
120mm heavy mortar,

40mm anti-aircraft gun,
12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

General Liu was in a trance, feeling that today was April Fool's Day in the West, otherwise, he would never have heard the names of these heavy weapons from Chen Kang's mouth.

Senseless.

General Liu was really stunned, and his anger and anger were completely destroyed. He couldn't believe that these heavy weapons that Chen Kang said could be developed, because General Liu never thought about it before.

This is to test the imagination of cadres and challenge the psychological endurance of cadres!

"Chief, I was the same as you are now, but these heavy weapons are not what I said, but what Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua proposed. If it was me, I would have been secretly happy if I could make 60 bucks. It is impossible to propose anything. The idea of ​​a 105mm howitzer, but I don't have a say in the technical field."

Seeing this, Chen Kang reluctantly said, "Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua said if they can make it, then they can definitely make it. However, the premise of realizing the core goal of manufacturing heavy weapons is that the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant's test furnace successfully smelts steel."

calm down!

keep cool!

Hearing these words, General Liu was so dazed that he reacted, took a few deep breaths in a row, didn't care about his gaffe, and forced his mind to regain his composure.

No way, who can imagine that one day someone suddenly said that we will build 105mm howitzers and 120mm heavy mortars...

This object is the Red Army, which has always been called the poor ghost.

"Then how is the progress of the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant's test furnace? Is there anything I need help?" General Liu asked.

Chen Kang replied: "If nothing else happens, Mr. Yu Hua is conducting the first smelting test. 42 hours ago, the core units of the test furnace were all manufactured and shipped to Yulin for final assembly. There is no place to help. All we can do is wait. .”

Waiting quietly, standing by at all times, not to cause trouble, this is the only thing they can do.

Calculate the time, in a few hours, the first smelting test will start.

"Dong dong!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. The knock was rapid and loud, revealing a sense of anxiety.

"Please come in."

"Reporting to the head of the Sanchawan Emergency Power, the first smelting test of the test furnace was successful, and high-quality medium carbon steel was smelted. The first batch of round steel ingots used to make mortar tubes is being loaded and transported to Liushugou!" General Affairs Section Chief Lu Lu The figure of Yuan rushed in, holding an emergency telegram in his hand. After seeing Chen Kang and General Liu, he immediately informed the situation.

Chen Kang was stunned, with an incredible look on his face, and stood up abruptly: "What did you say, it has been successful?!"
