Chapter 65 Increasing the firepower of team support
Chen Zhen's words have explained everything, the military factory suddenly began to hoard raw materials, large-scale overhaul of machinery and equipment, this is an obvious signal to prepare for war, as a person who has been preparing for war since the 60s, Yang Limin is not unclear, but he is too focused on technology and does not pay attention to the subtle changes in front of him.
Therefore, Yang Limin nodded: "Since the country needs it, then I don't say it, it's just" As he spoke, Yang Limin's brows furrowed again:
"It's just that the development of our current gun-mounted grenade launcher, Type 78 submachine gun, muzzle silencer and other accessories will be forced to stop, these are all equipment urgently needed by our army, if it is cut off like this, isn't it?"
Yang Limin's stiff face tightened, and his eyes were full of a long-lost unwillingness, yes, this kind of unwilling eyes did have a long-lost feeling in Lu Jiadong's opinion, this feeling was as if the gray-haired old man had experienced countless similar interruptions and forced pauses, so that he couldn't let go even if he knew the reason:
"Our country's equipment research and development has been interrupted too much, and the reasons for each time are justified, but what about the timely recovery of that time? In the end, it is our army and our country that are lagging behind!"
"Old Yang, what's wrong with you today?" Chen Zhen looked at Yang Limin with an unwilling face and was very strange, in his impression Yang Limin was not a person who liked to complain, so he stared at Yang Limin in surprise and asked suspiciously: "It seems that you have participated in a lot of equipment research and development!"
Listening to Chen Zhen's words, Yang Limin felt as if he had been hit by an electric current, his eyes flashed instantly, but then dimmed, and then he waved his hand and denied:
"How is it possible, it's just that I've read too many books, and I'm just emotional, I'm just emotional"
Chen Zhen didn't take Yang Limin's abnormality to heart, he just thought that Yang Limin had finally become the deputy chief of the technical department, and he also had a project in his hand, so it was difficult to accept it when he was temporarily stopped, so he smiled and comforted:
"Don't worry, Lao Yang, I don't think it will be too long this time, and you will still be in charge of the project in your hand at that time, and no one will rob you!"
Listening to Chen Zhen's words, Yang Limin nodded noncommittally, and the face that had been alive just now also regained its expressionless stiff appearance again, Chen Zhen didn't say anything when he saw this, but turned his head to Lu Jiadong's side, and asked with a smile:
"Xiao Lu, how is the gun mounted grenade launcher tested?"
Lu Jiadong originally felt that Yang Limin had an unusual mystery, but now the long-lost unwillingness, as well as the seemingly reasonable complaints, made Lu Jiadong realize that Yang Limin is not just as simple as having a story, because of this, when Chen Zhen and Yang Limin were talking, he didn't say a word, so that now when Chen Zhen asked him, Lu Jiadong reacted violently:
"The results of the gun-mounted grenade launcher test are not bad, and the G Military Region has agreed to give us the task of producing 60 sets, which will be tested by the assault division! The official document estimates that it will arrive in the next two days!"
Fortunately, Lu Jiadong reacted quickly, Chen Zhen and Yang Limin, who were sitting next to him, didn't see it at all, but when they heard the news of getting the test of the trial, their faces were happy, in their opinion, although the gun grenade launcher is very good, but after all, it is a new product, and it is already very good to be able to test, as for the things that are accepted by the troops, they didn't even dare to think about it, but they didn't expect Lu Jiadong to take such a trip and bring back 60 sets of trial tasks, how can they not make Chen Zhen and Yang Limin happy.
Of course, Lu Jiadong was also very happy in his heart, but while he was happy, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he took back the smile he had just revealed:
"Director Chen, do we really want to stop the re-research project according to the requirements of the notice?"
Listening to Lu Jiadong's question, Yang Limin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Chen Zhen also turned his head, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked:
"What's your opinion?"
"I think we are bound to implement the requirements of the notice, but after the upgrading of our factory's machinery and equipment at the end of last year, as well as the current production of Type 78 firearms and bullets, the technical status is very good, and the 80% pass rate should be reached!" After Lu Jiadong said this, Chen Zhen couldn't help but nodded, then flicked the cigarette ash and motioned Lu Jiadong to continue:
"So I think we only need to maintain a maintenance team for daily inspection and maintenance, and the rest of us will use this time to speed up the development of new products and strive to create one or two new products!"
"I agree with what you said, but what is the new product? Now we only have the Type 78 submachine gun on hand" Saying this, Chen Zhen paused, then his face seemed to understand something, threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you won't have new ideas again!"
Listening to Chen Zhen's words, a little curiosity flashed on Yang Limin's stiff face, and he couldn't help pushing the black-rimmed glasses on his eyes, and put on a posture of listening to his ears, Lu Jiadong also smiled when he saw this:
"I can't talk about ideas, but the situation on the border is very clear to Director Chen and Lao Yang, and the direction of the notice of the provincial department is also very clear, a war is estimated to be unavoidable, as our military workers naturally can't charge into battle like soldiers, but we also have to do our duty.
Since we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, we can cast the sword that kills the enemy more sharply and make our shield stronger, so that our soldiers can kill more enemies, and their own casualties will be greatly reduced.
Lu Jiadong said and spoke, the original faint smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious and serious look, and what he said was really heartfelt, after all, the war is coming, Lu Jiadong still has too many things to do, and now there are only a few months left, how to make up for regrets, Lu Jiadong can only race against time.
"Forge the sword sharper and make the shield stronger!" After Chen Zhen heard Lu Jiadong's words, he kept repeating these two sentences in his mouth, then frowned, thought for a while, and then threw the matchbox in his hand on the table: "Xiao Lu, just say what you have, it's not your character to spit out!"
Hearing Chen Zhen's words, Lu Jiadong knew that he already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't hide it and said bluntly: "I suggest that we develop an automatic grenade launcher!"
"Automatic grenade launcher?" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Chen Zhen asked puzzledly: "Don't we already have a gun-mounted grenade launcher, and what is this automatic grenade launcher?"
"The gun-mounted grenade launcher is to increase the firepower of individual soldiers, while the automatic grenade launcher is to increase the firepower of the team!" Lu Jiadong looked at Chen Zhen and Yang Limin on the opposite side and explained slowly:
"I went to the assault division this time and found that the fire support weapons of our team are nothing more than machine guns and 40 fires, and when they need to be strengthened, they will be equipped with heavy machine guns, 60 forced and 82 fire, but the power of machine guns is relatively small, as for the power of 40 guns and artillery, the rate of fire is relatively low, the amount of ammunition carried is relatively small, and the preparation time is relatively long.
All these are in conflict with the mobility and rapidity emphasized by our army's infantry squads, and are not conducive to our army's traditional tactical advantages of rapid penetration, roundabout, and large-scale maneuvering, so at the squad level, it is more necessary to have a weapon and equipment with simple operation and strong firepower continuity for continuous fire support within 600 meters, and from the perspective of power and range, automatic grenade launchers are the most suitable equipment!"
Chen Zhen and Yang Limin did not question Lu Jiadong's analysis of our army's firepower system, after all, Lu Jiadong had just returned from the assault division's test, and it was reasonable to understand the weapons and equipment in it.
"Although our gun-mounted grenade launcher is simple and practical, after all, it is only a single support weapon, the range and rate of fire are relatively low, and the firepower of close support is not high, so it also needs an automatic grenade launcher to make up for it, just like a soldier is equipped with a rifle, but also needs a machine gun for fire support, the reason is the same!"
Hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Chen Zhen couldn't help but nodded, but Yang Limin on the side frowned: "I have heard of this automatic grenade launcher that Xiao Lu said, it seems that the US army was equipped during the Vietnam War, but although the firepower of that grenade launcher is very strong, it is too heavy, if we also make such a heavy guy, it is estimated that the army will not approve of it!"
Lu Jiadong knew that what Yang Limin was talking about was the US military's MK19, 40mm automatic grenade launcher, this kind of grenade launcher is more than 60 kilograms counting the tripod, and the US military that has achieved mechanization can place him on a combat vehicle or plane, there is no problem, but our army has not yet achieved mechanization, and all maneuvers still have to rely on the two soles under the legs, if you carry such a big guy of more than 120 pounds, let alone maneuver, it is difficult to walk, and it is not suitable for the current actual situation of our army at all.
"So let's build a light automatic grenade launcher!" As soon as Yang Limin's voice fell, Lu Jiadong blurted out.
"Light automatic grenade launcher?" Chen Zhen and Yang Limin couldn't help but look at Lu Jiadong in confusion, and Lu Jiadong nodded and said: "Yes, we must not only ensure the power of the grenade, but also meet the actual needs of our army's existing conditions, so we can only reduce the weight of the grenade launcher and create a high-power machine gun suitable for our army!"
"Little Lu's idea is good!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Yang Limin's brows furrowed even tighter: "But the automatic firing of high-power ammunition is different from ordinary firearms, and the weight is relatively large, not to mention the problem of recoil, so"
Yang Limin didn't continue to speak halfway through his words, but Chen Zhen beside him had already wrinkled his brows into a Sichuan character.
