The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 53 Special Forces Construction Plan
Leaving the heavy machine gun production workshop, Liu Tao came to the heavy sniper rifle production workshop.

When he had some free time, Liu Tao thought about participating in the manufacture of heavy sniper rifles.

When it comes to understanding this heavy sniper rifle, no one in the world knows it better than Liu Tao.

He made heavy sniper rifles much faster than others.

Next, he had to prepare to produce at least 200 heavy sniper rifles and nearly heavy sniper rifle bullets of various types.

This task is definitely not an easy one.

The current production of heavy sniper rifles is still relatively low, bullet production is not automated, and the factory does not have any extra bullet reserves.

Unlike pistol and rifle bullets, the production volume is already very large, not to mention that they can be purchased from other military factories. Let alone 6 million bullets, even if it's 60 million bullets, as long as the money is enough, he will find a way to get them.

As for heavy machine gun bullets and heavy sniper bullets, there is no way.

Prior to this, the caliber of machine guns used in China was 7.62mm, which was called a light machine gun in the West.

The 12.7mm heavy machine gun was not available before.

As for the heavy sniper rifle, it can only be said that it is beyond the imagination of the country bumpkins.

The production of these two weapons and bullets depends on Panshan Machinery Factory itself.

Whether it is weapons or bullets, the current production capacity is still very low.

This is when there is no fighting on the front lines. Otherwise, the bullets produced in a day might not be enough for one attack on the front lines.

"We have to think of a way to improve the efficiency of bullet production." Liu Tao muttered to himself as he watched the workers conscientiously producing various types of bullets.

Slow, too slow!
He even doubted whether, at the current rate of increase in bullet production capacity, he could produce all the bullets on order before October.

Guns and bullets must work together to unleash their power.

Having a gun without bullets is worse than a fire stick.

Liu Tao increasingly felt the urgency of assembling a semi-automated bullet production line.

The next day, around 10:.

The expert group has already arrived at Panshan Machinery Factory.

The commander of the 119th Regiment personally came with two snipers on this expert mission.

Compared with before, Captain Liu walked with more vigor and looked very proud.

During the "Red Dragon's Roar" operation, the 119th Regiment performed extremely well and was known as the ace regiment and the heroic regiment, with remarkable achievements and fruitful gains.

As the first unit to be re-equipped and an infantry regiment that always maintains training, the combat effectiveness of the 119th Regiment has been significantly improved.

Captain Liu, who had just returned to the 119th Regiment’s base, actively applied to participate as soon as he learned about it.

Previously, the entire 78th Regiment was equipped with six Type 119 heavy sniper rifles, which became like the god of death.

Many important military targets were inexplicably sniped at a distance of more than one kilometer.

Even within one month, the 1th Regiment created a miracle, that is, a sniper used a "Type 119" heavy sniper rifle to kill a commander 78 meters away.

This is also the longest distance at which the 'Type 78' heavy sniper rifle can kill a target so far.

At the shooting range, three snipers began testing their sniper rifles.

The expert group does not recognize Panshan Machinery Factory’s own gun test data.

"Director Liu, are the performance parameters of this sniper rifle true?" Captain Liu couldn't help but ask.

Liu Tao nodded slightly: "This was tested by our factory militia, it's absolutely true."

When Captain Liu received Liu Tao's confirmation, a look of joy appeared on his face.

When I think about having thirty or fifty snipers in my own regiment, I can hunt monkeys at will!
The 'Type 78' heavy sniper rifle is good, with fierce power and long range. It is simply a killer weapon on the battlefield.

The Type 78 heavy sniper rifle is great in every way, but it's just too expensive.

The current sniper rifle is nothing more than a 78-type automatic rifle with a scope installed. How expensive can it be? "Director Liu, you have to give us a few sniper rifles to try out when the time comes." Captain Liu said with a smile.

Liu Tao laughed, "No problem!"

You know, Panshan Machinery Factory is within the defense zone of the 119th Regiment.

Even before that, the security protection force of Panshan Machinery Factory was transferred from the 119th Regiment.

Since the establishment of Panshan Machinery Factory, the relationship between it and the 119th Regiment has been very close.

Any good equipment would naturally be provided to the 119th Regiment first.

During the lunch break, Liu Tao took out a booklet with "Special Forces Construction Plan" written on the cover.

The special forces that would become famous in the future did not exist in this era.

In this era, there are only scouts, no special forces!

Liu Tao wrote this booklet overnight last night because he thought that special forces could play an important role in the tropical rainforest in the next ten years.

Since there are no special forces now, let him push for the early construction of special forces.

"Director Liu, what's this?" Captain Liu was a little confused.

"Captain Liu, these are some of my ideas. Can you take a look at them for me?" Liu Tao handed the booklet to Captain Liu.

This was written based on the film and television works he had watched and the information he had consulted.

He is not a soldier, has not received systematic military command training, and does not know whether the film and television works and the information he has read are true.

But Captain Liu is different. He has received systematic military command training and is a mid-level commander of the army.

"Let me see." Captain Liu took the booklet and was stunned when he saw the cover.

Special forces?

What kind of army is this!?

He had never heard of the special forces before.

When I opened the first page, I saw the definition of special forces.

"A force responsible for attacking important political, economic, and military targets of the enemy and carrying out other special tasks! Great, a great special forces unit!" Captain Liu's eyes lit up.

Then look down.

The organization of special forces includes special battalion, special squadron and special team.

The more I look at it, the more fascinated I become.

When we look at the weapons equipped by the special forces, we see everything from ordinary light weapons to advanced electronic communication equipment, armed helicopters, missile patrol boats and even submarines.

Light weapons mainly include various pistols and machine guns, sniper rifles, silent submachine guns, dazzling grenades, anti-tank rifle grenades, light mortars, and directional mines.

Heavy weapons include armored fighting vehicles, attack helicopters, transport helicopters, various combat and transport ships, and submarines.

After reading the booklet, Captain Liu couldn't help but gasp.

At first he thought that this special forces was actually a slightly upgraded version of the reconnaissance force, but after watching it, he suddenly realized that special forces and reconnaissance forces were completely different things.

If such a special forces unit were really established, they would be like fish in water in the tropical rainforest and would be the enemy's nightmare.

A special forces unit can even play a decisive role in winning the battle.

But at the same time, Captain Liu also discovered that to build a special forces unit, even just a special brigade, the cost of weapons and equipment alone would be extremely terrifying.

After a rough estimate, Captain Liu found that the cost of building a special brigade was even higher than that of a Type A infantry division.

Captain Liu's excited heart and trembling hands showed how uneasy he was at the moment.
