Chapter 391: Wu Tianming's Surprise
In the battle of the Hairpa Mountain, the portable rocket launcher played a decisive role, so that Wu Tianming, who led the main attack battalion at that time, won the main position of the fortified Hairpa Mountain in one fell swoop, because of this, when the new tank leading group was established, Wu Tianming had a natural good impression of Zhao Rusong, an old expert who had participated in the initial development of the portable rocket launcher and presided over the follow-up improvement, so he had more contact with Zhao Rusong.
If it were an ordinary officer, Zhao Rusong would be a general friend, but Wu Tianming was different, he had a lot of whimsical ideas about weapons and equipment in his head, and the development of the Type 78 assault rifle and the supporting gun-mounted grenade launcher that he participated in during his tenure as a military representative in the Wanshan Factory also laid a certain technical foundation for him, coupled with the actual combat experience in the border war in the past few years, when it comes to weapons and equipment, he often points to the root and hits the nail on the head, which is not possessed by many military industry experts, including Zhao Rusong, so they come and go, and Wu Tianming and Zhao Rusong have also become friends who have nothing to talk about。
Because of this, Wu Tianming knows Zhao Rusong's temper very well, especially the kind of words that can make people choke half to death when they are angry, which impresses Wu Tianming even more, but in ordinary times, Wu Tianming will also use the excellent adaptability and control ability he has trained in the battlefield to easily resolve Zhao Rusong's choking words, but at this moment, Wu Tianming's easy coping methods on weekdays cannot be used in any case, the reason is very simple, because now he is very overwhelmed by the decisions of Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong。
Because not long after he arrived at the inspection test site, Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong found him and discussed with him about the composite armor test.
I thought I could just follow the plan step by step. Unexpectedly, after Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong read the plan, they proposed to use the supporting ammunition of the new tank that had just been manufactured for testing, Wu Tianming was shocked when he heard this proposal, you must know that the ammunition equipped with the new tank has not yet been finalized, not to mention that the new tank gun has not been produced, and the most important thing is that no other 120mm caliber tank guns can be found at the test site or the entire G Military Region.
And so it goes. Even if there is ammunition, it cannot be fired, but what he did not expect is that Zhao Rusong proposed to use the British-made "Chieftain" MK-5 main battle tank allocated to the Wanshan Factory for the study and reference of the new tank development team to conduct target shooting experiments, because the tank gun on the modified tank is exactly 120mm.
After listening to Zhao Rusong's words, Wu Tianming couldn't believe his ears, although he was not very proficient in military technology, but he still understood the basic knowledge, and it was very clear that the ammunition transferred to the smoothbore gun could not be fired by rifled guns, but it contained relatively large risks. In particular, the ammunition fired by tank guns is prone to the danger of burning, destroying ammunition or even exploding the chamber under the action of high muzzle velocity and high chamber pressure.
Because of this, when he listened to Zhao Rusong's proposal, as the person in charge of quality and safety of the entire leading group, Wu Tianming's head shook like a rattle, but even so, Zhao Rusong still insisted, even Lu Jiadong, who has always been cautious, vaguely supported Zhao Rusong's opinion, which made Wu Tianming, who was worried about the possibility of safety and quality problems, very embarrassed. So much so that after listening to Zhao Rusong's words, he didn't know what to say for a long time. After a long while, he frowned tightly and continued to Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong:
"The ammunition for the new tank has not been finalized at all, and it was originally designed to be developed in accordance with the requirements of smoothbore guns, but now the test is to use rifled guns, and if one is not good, you will need it."
Wu Tianming's words were not finished, but his meaning was already beyond words. Both Lu Jiadong and Zhao Rusong were experts in this area, and they didn't understand Wu Tianming's worries, in this regard, Lu Jiadong turned his head and just wanted to explain to Wu Tianming, but saw Zhao Rusong, who was standing beside him, raised his eyebrows. Facing Wu Tianming, he preemptively asked:
"I said Xiao Wu, you haven't been to the Guinan Precision Machinery Factory, which develops ammunition for tanks, once or twice, do you only see anti-tank ammunition for smoothbore guns?"
"The new tank is a 120mm smoothbore gun, and I, the person in charge of quality, don't look at the smoothbore gun ammunition to look at the others, what's the matter?
Wu Tianming said it rightly at first, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, after all, he was also a cadre who had been trained in the army and the military industrial system for many years, although he was still a little worse than those old foxes who had become elites, but he was also a person who had entered the fox club, so after listening to Zhao Rusong's words, Wu Tianming immediately reacted, and his eyes opened in an instant, and then said in surprise:
"Could it be that Professor Zhao, you have also developed anti-tank ammunition that is transferred to a 120mm rifled gun?"
"This, you have to ask our Chief Master Lu!" Looking at Wu Tianming with a surprised face, Zhao Rusong did not answer, but looked at Lu Jiadong beside him with a smile, seeing Zhao Rusong selling Guanzi, where can Wu Tianming wait, just like Zhao Rusong, he looked at Lu Jiadong opposite, and Lu Jiadong, who was standing in place and waiting for the train to stop at the station, was stunned at first, and said in his heart When did this Zhao Rusong learn to sell Guanzi, but this is fine, after all, a little cold humor is much better than being serious and indifferent all day long
Just when Lu Jiadong was stunned, the anxious Wu Tianming hurriedly stepped forward and asked Lu Jiadong eagerly: "Jiadong, what are you doing in a daze, when you say something, is it possible that our new tank should be equipped with two tank guns?"
Hearing Wu Tianming's words, Lu Jiadong also broke free from his thoughts, and an indifferent smile appeared on his face: "It's not two tank guns, but two kinds of ammunition!"
After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Wu Tianming was even more puzzled: "With two kinds of ammunition?"
"That's right!" As soon as Wu Tianming's words fell, Lu Jiadong nodded affirmatively: "The British 'chief' MK allocated to our new tank leading group― The Type 5 main battle tank was provided to us by Iran, in order for us to give them spare parts and other related supporting equipment for the production of modified tanks, most of which were assigned to the northern factory with rich experience in the production and manufacture of tank armored vehicles, but one was still assigned to other factories, and the production of supporting ammunition was entrusted to the Guinan factory by the superiors to complete!"
"It just so happens that the ammunition for the new tank is also 120mm, so Xiao Lu suggested that based on our newly developed ammunition, we should improve an anti-tank ammunition suitable for 120mm rifled guns, so that it can be exported to Iran and other countries equipped with such anti-tank guns!" As soon as Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Zhao Rusong immediately took over the conversation, and then pushed the glasses stuck on the bridge of his nose, and his face was also filled with a smile that was rarely seen on weekdays, and he continued to Wu Tianming:
"Therefore, we take the supporting ammunition of the 120mm smoothbore gun as the benchmark and improve it according to the specific requirements of the rifled gun, and the specific method is to adopt a structure that Xiao Lu calls the 'sliding cartridge belt'!"
"Sliding the cartridge?"
"When you went to the Guinan factory two days ago to check the quality, didn't you see an armor-piercing bullet with a 'sliding bullet belt' structure, it's only been a few days, Xiao Wu, you won't forget it so quickly, right?"
"Professor Zhao, do you mean" Listening to Zhao Rusong say this, Wu Tianming then remembered that a few days ago he did go to the Guinan factory to check the quality, and did see a few armor-piercing bullets with two spiral rings on the butt in the trial production workshop, at that time he thought it was some kind of measuring mold, so he didn't care, and now listening to Zhao Rusong, Wu Tianming woke up like a dream, the two spiral inner and outer rings are not the cartridge belts that are converted into rifled gun configurations, thinking of this, Wu Tianming couldn't help but "snap" with his hands slapped his head:
"Alas, you look at my head, I don't say a few more words when I see the difference, I think it's what kind of mold, my heart is boundless, this is really alas"
Wu Tianming was annoyed by his carelessness, you must know that he is the director of the Military Quality Inspection Office of the New Tank Leading Group, and when he saw the ammunition that did not match the specifications, he just took it for granted and gave a conclusion, and did not go to the careful exploration at all, fortunately, this is the ammunition improved for rifled guns, otherwise the consequences are absolutely unimaginable, thinking of this, Wu Tianming is not only annoyed, but also has a deep fear, although it has entered the depths of winter, but his back is still rolling cold sweat
"So in the future, you must keep your eyes open, but you can't take it for granted!" Just when Wu Tianming regretted his carelessness, one shoulder was suddenly gently patted, and then a kind and familiar voice came from his ear:
"The military quality certification system is only to ensure the quality of the system, serious inspection and verification is also essential, the so-called two hands to grasp both hands are hard, only the combination of the two, complement each other in order to complete the production of military products with quality and quantity!"
"Jiadong, I remember!" Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Wu Tianming's blazing eyes flashed with shame and courage, and his resolute face was even more resolute, and even the nods several times were unusually solemn, Lu Jiadong didn't say anything about it, just patted Wu Tianming's shoulder again, after all, with the continuous rise of status, some words are inconvenient to say so bluntly, as long as the point is enough
"Tut~~Tut~~Tot~~~" Just as Wu Tianming's voice gradually fell, several train whistles came into the platform of the test site, and then a train spitting billowing smoke and dust slowly drove towards Lu Jiadong and others (to be continued. )
