Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 599 Pickup Truck

"Commander, Chief of Staff, the proposal to replace the rifle is great!"

Zhang Henian slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Our First Division has the most bayonet battles with the Russians. In fact, many soldiers survived because the guns in their hands were not suitable. We Chinese are shorter than Russians, but we are more Agile and more durable, both sides have advantages and disadvantages. At the beginning, we can often kill with one blow, and we can last longer. It's just that Mosin Nagan is too heavy and too long, which seriously affects our flexibility Sexuality also increases physical exertion, and a slight loss can be a thousand miles away, and a slight deviation is likely to cost a life!"

The personal experience is more convincing. The officers present nodded frequently. Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "In the past, we were forced to use Mosin Nagan, but now we have a certain industrial foundation, and we must create for all soldiers. The most suitable weapon."

Zhang Tinglan looked at Tao Jiping and the others while talking, and Tao Jiping said hastily: "Marshal, we in the military industry are fully confident in completing the design of the new rifle. In fact, we conducted research in this area more than two years ago. Last year's At that time, a great talent joined the arsenal, and he is now in charge of leading the gun design team, and has achieved considerable results, as long as the commander needs it, he can come up with the final plan within half a year."

"Minister Tao, who is this great talent you're talking about, let me introduce you, and let us know a thing or two?" Zhang Tinglan asked with a smile.

"Marshal, I recommended this person to Minister Tao!" Zhu Qinglan said on the side: "His name is Han Linchun, and he is a student of the sixth period of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. He used to be a military attache stationed in the United States. He also went to Europe to inspect the military, and he has a lot of research on weapon shooting. Just last year when Han Linchun joined us and learned about his talents, I recommended him to go to the arsenal."

Zhu Qinglan briefly introduced Han Linchun's situation to everyone, Zhang Tinglan closed his eyes and thought for a while, this Han Linchun is not an unknown person.In the original history, he was also a general of the Feng army. When he was in charge of the Fengtian Arsenal, he designed the Liao [-]-style rifle after imitating the Mauser rifle. Now he is asked to lead the development of a new rifle.There should be no problem.

In the past, a non-commissioned officer student was definitely a baby bump, but now Fengjun has a big family and a great career, and it is difficult for ordinary talents to attract Zhang Tinglan's attention, so Han Linchun took refuge in Fengjun.Zhang Tinglan didn't know.But since the factory has already prepared, it can be seen that they are very proactive.Zhang Tinglan was also very pleased.

"Minister Tao. Regarding the rifle, I tend to use [-]mm bullets. The recoil can be tolerated by the Chinese, and the accuracy and power of the bullets are not bad. In addition, when designing a gun, you can't just rely on the designer to do it behind closed doors. Let them remember. It is especially critical that they are shooting weapons for soldiers, not designing weapons for themselves!"

In fact, this point proposed by Zhang Tinglan is exactly a principle for the Soviets to design weapons.No matter how much later generations criticize Soviet-made weapons, one thing cannot be denied is that Soviet-made weapons are truly designed from the perspective of soldiers and are the most suitable weapons for the battlefield.

The Feng army does not have such a high industrial capacity, nor does it have much financial resources to squander, so weapons must be suitable for the needs of soldiers, so that they can exert their greatest power.

"Marshal, since you said it, I think it's better to let soldiers, workers, and maintenance personnel join in, and everyone will work together to ensure the power and adaptability of weapons. At the same time, we must simplify the process as much as possible to keep costs down. Simple and easy." Tao Jiping's statement is equivalent to setting the direction for the new rifle.

Everyone present was also eager to try it. After all, this is a brand new design model, and they also hope to better meet their own requirements.The debate on the field became more and more intense. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Zhang Tinglan slammed the table: "Stop arguing. Letting soldiers participate in the design is to make the weapons more suitable, not to make you messy. Let's start from the first The division, the cavalry, and the special operations team draw out [-] outstanding shooters, and the others should not be mixed in."

Zhang Tinglan made a final decision, and everyone didn't dare to argue anymore. Jiang Baili continued: "The redesign of the rifle means that the entire system of light weapons must be changed. Light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and carbines must all be ready for replacement. As for the main battle equipment, the armor force has proven its own value. We must focus on the development of more powerful tanks and armored vehicles. At the same time, we must also have anti-tank weapons, such as tank destroyers, self-propelled artillery, etc. These Research and development must also be put on the agenda, in short, we must create the most powerful iron fist."

If there were still differences on the development of tanks in the past, but now, the development of armored forces has become the consensus of the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "We currently only have one tank brigade, and we need to expand it in the next step. Within three years of serving the army, at least three powerful armored divisions must be established. In addition to the existing troops, I will choose some performance Armored units with outstanding military qualities should be built first."

Facing a huge sweet bait, all the generals present were thrilled. They had seen the strength of the armored force, and naturally longed to become an armored iron fist. They also knew that in order to do this, they had to behave well and strictly enforce military discipline. It has also become inevitable.

Jiang Baili went on to say: "In addition to the army equipment, the navy and air force must also strengthen their development. The air force must focus on the development of fighter jets and bombers. The air force has the commanding heights of the war and plays an extremely important role in the battle. The Russians This failure was largely due to the lack of air supremacy. In terms of the navy, we have leased the right to use the port of Vladivostok from the Far Eastern Empire, so the scope of naval activities has increased a lot. We need to develop torpedo boats, fast patrol boats and other near-shore Defensive weapons, focusing on the construction of submarines, ensuring that we have the ability to counter enemy surface forces in the near sea."

Feng Jun had obtained the blueprint of the German submarine a long time ago, and with the deepening of cooperation with Germany, Germany also handed over the submarine technology to Feng Jun, and also sent experts to guide it.

Just a month ago, Fengjun's first self-built submarine was launched. This submarine was built on the model of a German U-shaped submarine, with an underwater displacement of about [-] tons.It is currently being tested in the Bohai Sea area.Zhang Tinglan has issued an order to increase the number of production to replace those old submarines from Russia.

Jiang Fangzhen clearly introduced the weapon update policy of the armed forces.There are too many specific operational details, and there is no need to make this kind of conference too clear.

Finally, Zhang Tinglan made a concluding speech: "Weapon updating is only one aspect. The most important thing is to have a sense of mission as a soldier. The more victorious you are, the less you can be arrogant. From now on, the Fengjun must set a rule, everything After the battle is over, you must first find out the problem, and then carry out targeted training to make up for the shortcomings. After three months to half a year, you can relax and rest. Everything should be done while the iron is hot. You must remember this and train your troops well. "

After a few words of instruction, Zhang Tinglan laughed again: "I'm telling everyone one more thing. The main force of the border guards will expand from seven divisions to thirteen divisions. That means you all have a chance to be promoted one step higher. The commander is expected to become the division commander, and the division commander is expected to be promoted to the army commander. As for how to behave, you all know it in your mind, so I won't talk about it. The meeting is over!"

Zhang Tinglan turned around and left with Jiang Baili and the others.These generals were left behind, and they all felt a sense of ebullition. The commander-in-chief was indeed amazing, and he wanted to double his strength all at once.It is simply great news.With the replacement of weapons and the substantial expansion of troops, the combat effectiveness of the Feng army will definitely increase exponentially, and the attraction of the Feng family will also become greater and greater.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.Every victory and every rectification made Feng Jun more loyal to Zhang Tinglan, the leader.These generals are thinking about the requirements of the commander in chief. After returning to the army, they must start training.

After leaving the venue, Zhang Tinglan, Jiang Fangzhen, and Yang Yuting went to the small conference room at the back, and they had to discuss other matters.

"To be honest, apart from exposing some problems with our weapons in this battle, we also have a serious shortcoming, that is, insufficient logistical support capabilities. This is manifested in two aspects. The first is the lack of delivery vehicles such as trucks. It greatly restricts the combat effectiveness of the armored forces. Another point is that the number of engineers is still lacking, such as repairing roads, building airports, warehouses, etc., and they are still a bit slow.”

Yang Yuting pointed out this problem sharply, and Jiang Baili also nodded frequently: "We used a large number of prisoners of war as coolies for cheap considerations. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is definitely not possible to rely on them all the time."

Zhang Tinglan also agreed with their proposal very much. If Fengjun wants to build mechanization, the first thing to solve is the logistics problem. Without sufficient guarantee, it is impossible to fight a modern war.

"I have also thought about the issue of transportation vehicles. Large trucks will import production lines from Germany. I have also contacted the Americans and purchased production lines for pickup trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles from them. In addition, we are also stepping up to break through the barrier of diesel engine technology. There will be a fleet of freight vehicles coming soon."

"Self-developed and combined with foreign imports is definitely one of the best methods at present. I also agree very much, but I don't know what this pickup is and what is so great about it?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This thing is simple to say, it is the front of the car, plus the body of the truck. It is comfortable to drive and has a considerable cargo capacity. It has a wide range of applications. It can be used to pull goods or people. Comfortable and off-road, with machine guns and cannons mounted on it, it can become a hit-and-run sneak attack weapon!"

In later generations, militants riding pickup trucks can often be seen on TV screens. AK47, rpg, and pickup trucks are almost the symbols of terrorists. Sexuality can annoy even the most powerful military in the world.

In the army, pickup trucks also play a very important role. Generally, pickup trucks have no problem with a ton of cargo. They can be used as artillery tractors, anti-aircraft machine guns can be erected on them, and supplies and wounded can be transported. Just like a jeep, it is simply a Generalist.

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's introduction, Yang Yuting immediately became interested: "Zhuoyan, if what you said is true, this pickup is a good thing. How can the Americans sell it to us so easily?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Tigers also doze off sometimes. The pickup truck is also just designed by the Americans. The main sales target is the cowboys in the western United States. This kind of vehicle is more comfortable than a truck, has a larger cargo capacity than a car, and has quite good off-road performance." It’s just that it’s just been launched, and the Americans haven’t really realized the value. The people we arranged in the United States focused on this thing, and bought the design patent and production line. It cost a total of 80 US dollars, which can be said to be picked up. What a bargain!"

Jiang Fangzhen also laughed loudly: "It's not easy to take advantage of the Americans, but we need to get the production line back quickly. We need to produce them as soon as possible and equip the troops. Now that the pace of war is getting faster and faster, we have to Just put the infantry on wheels!" (To be continued...)
