The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 226 Round Battle
Panshan Machinery Factory.

Truckloads of weapons and ammunition are transported out, with weapons and ammunition being transported out during the day and production materials and daily necessities being transported in at night, staggering the peak hours.

The military leaders came to Panshan Machinery Factory, and Liu Tao accompanied them on the inspection.

"You, the Panshan Machinery Factory, are carrying a heavy burden. You will be responsible for providing most of the weapons, equipment and ammunition in the future!" the leader said in a deep voice, "You must ensure the production of weapons, equipment and ammunition. You must not let the soldiers on the front line be short of guns and ammunition!"

"Please rest assured, Chief, Panshan Machinery Factory will definitely complete the task!" Liu Tao said solemnly.

The fighting on the front line reignited. Zheyin Mountain, Koulin Mountain and Laoshan were connected into a line, with smoke rising everywhere. The garrison troops of the 41st Division repelled the enemy's attacks again and again.

It won't be long before the 40th Division sets out to replace the 41st Division.

Each unit will fight for about two to three months.

14军轮战完后，便是第13军，第13军同样辖三个师，分别是第37师、第38师、第39师！
After the 13th Division finishes its rotation, it will be the turn of the 49th Division stationed in Guizhou!
As the military factory closest to the front line, Panshan Machinery Factory shoulders the heavy responsibility of producing and supplying weapons and ammunition.

Afterwards, every rotating troop that has not completed its equipment replacement will be equipped with weapons and ammunition produced by Panshan Machinery Factory.

In order to ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition, Uncle Tie increased the number of railway soldiers to build the railway. The section of railway at Panshan Machinery Factory will be completed in half a month, and then the weapons and ammunition will be transported directly by rail.

Even the construction speed of railway lines built by other factories has been greatly accelerated.

"Is this the cannon of our infantry?" The leader came to a production workshop and saw the finished Type 80 rocket launchers being placed in boxes, with a little curiosity.

Since coming to Yun Province, he has heard of this weapon more than once.

Each infantryman can be equipped with one 80mm caliber rocket, which is called the infantry's cannon.

Although many people feel bad about the fact that this is a disposable weapon that is discarded after use, and think it is a waste, this weapon is indeed very useful.

Can greatly enhance the firepower of the troops.

Even the enemy's old tanks or armored vehicles could not withstand a single shell from the Type 80 rocket launcher.

Even if it is a bunker, there is no need to sacrifice yourself to blow it up. You can directly use this Type 80 rocket launcher to blow up the enemy's bunker with one shot.

"Yes, this is the Type 80 rocket launcher!" Liu Tao nodded and said, "So far, we have provided 80 Type rocket launchers and corresponding shells to the troops."

The production process of the Type 80 rocket launcher is now mature, with a pass rate of 95%, and Liu Tao does not need to participate in the testing.

The leader couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Two thousand Type 80 rocket launchers means two thousand 80mm cannons.

The increase in firepower can be imagined.

Leaving the production workshop, they came to Tianzhu Mountain.

Tianzhu Mountain is the base of the combined brigade. At this moment, all the battalions of the combined brigade are training intensively.

When the leader saw the Type 80 tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, his eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement.

Although the troops also purchased a batch of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks, a total of 5 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and 10 Type 80 tanks, and now the Panshan Machinery Factory has delivered them to the troops, all of them went to the north and did not stay in the two southwestern military regions!
The leader came from Chengdu. He had only heard of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and the Type 80 tank but had never seen them in person. But today he finally saw them.

The first impression is that it is mighty and tall, the second impression is that it is beautiful!

Both the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and the Type 80 tank are much larger than the Type 59 tank.

Watching the tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns running fast and the powerful roar of their engines, the leaders felt their blood boiling.

"Director Liu, are these the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and Type 80 tanks?" the leader asked impatiently.

Liu Tao nodded and said, "Leader, these are the most advanced self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks in the world!" At this time, Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping had already come over in a jeep.

The jeep stopped, and the two men got out and saluted: "Hello, Chief!"

The leader returned the salute.

"Leader, this is Comrade Li Fuguo, the commander of the combined brigade; this is Comrade Zhao Guoping, the political commissar of the combined brigade!" Liu Tao introduced.

"Comrade Li Fuguo, Comrade Zhao Guoping, I have just come to Yunnan Province and I have often heard your names!" the leader said with a smile.

The leader looked at Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, and was deeply moved. Li Fuguo was only 28 years old this year, but he was already a famous general in the army, leading the combined battalion to fame. Zhao Guoping was even younger, only years old this year, and was the political commissar of the combined brigade, with a bright future.

The combined brigade is not usually under the jurisdiction of the army, but when war breaks out, the combined brigade is under the jurisdiction of the army.

"Leader, do you want to try driving these self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks? They are very easy to drive. Even people who have never driven them before can do so in just a short while." Liu Tao looked at his leader.

"Okay, let me try it!" the leader said with a smile.

He used to drive a Type 59 tank and served as the commander of a tank division, so he was no stranger to driving a tank.

Li Fuguo stopped a Type 80 tank.

The tank driver opened the hatch and got out of the tank.

The leader climbed onto the tank and then entered it.

The leader's first impression was that the cockpit was spacious. With his current body size, he was able to enter the cockpit and was quite comfortable.

You have to know that the Type 59 tank has certain height and body shape requirements for tank soldiers. It is not easy for someone like him to enter the cockpit, and even if he does, it is not comfortable.

But this situation does not exist for the Type 80 tank.

Looking at the cockpit again, it is much simpler and clearer than that of the Type 59 tank.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~ This Type 80 tank is actually equipped with a refrigeration system!" The leader exclaimed secretly.

Although because it is located in a plateau, Kun City is not as hot as places like mountain cities even in summer, but it is different inside a tank. Due to the limited space and the influence of the tank in motion, even if the temperature outside is in the 20s, the temperature inside will be around 30 or 40 degrees.

But now the temperature in the cockpit is about 25 degrees.

Soon, the leader understood how to open it.

Even after driving for about half an hour, the leader drove the Type 80 tank at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

This speed is something that the Type 59 tank can never achieve.

Liu Tao was chatting with Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping about the current situation of the combined brigade.

The combined brigade is now seriously short of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, so in order to allow the soldiers to adapt and train, a 24-hour 12-shift system is adopted, with each crew undergoing two hours of driving training.

At present, the entire combined brigade has completed preliminary integration.

However, if you want to exert your combat effectiveness, you will need at least another half a year of training.

After all, there is tactical training involved, and all of this takes time.

To fully unleash the combat effectiveness of a combined force brigade, it takes at least three years of training.
