In the previous life, it was not until after the initial stage of the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam was fought that the new military reform initiated by the Chinese army began, because the military confrontation exercise specially organized by Yang Weiping had too great an impact on the top level of the military and began ahead of schedule.

The restoration of the military rank system in the whole army has been unanimously approved by all members of the Central Military Commission. Several veterans even proposed to do it directly according to the 55-year-old set.

Since it has been decided to restore the ranks, the replacement of the Type 65 military uniforms in active service in the whole army has also been put on the agenda.

The members of the Central Military Commission never imagined that the bright red cockade and collar badge would actually become the best aiming reference for the enemy's muzzle during the battle, and if it were not for this exercise, if the troops were really allowed to go to the battlefield like this, they would inevitably cause serious casualties.

Whenever they think of this, the bigwigs of the military are all chilled and afraid.

What style of military uniform to use has become a hot topic among military bigwigs for a while.

Yang Weiping will certainly not miss such a major event as the army's award of titles and changing clothes.

Military uniforms are not only clothing, but also important equipment of the troops, and are the material basis for constituting combat effectiveness. Therefore, the issue of "dressing" our officers and men has always been a major issue in national defense and army building.

Military uniforms represent the image of the army and the "business card" of the country, and from the military uniform, we can see the military appearance, military discipline, spiritual outlook and the regularization level of an army.

Yang Weiping was secretly pondering what level of military rank the Central Military Commission would confer on him at that time, and at the same time he was thinking about how to design a set of modern military uniforms that suited the national conditions and could display the powerful military might of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's "majestic and civilized division."

In Yang Weiping's mind, the Type 55 military uniform is the best military uniform for the peak of the military rank and service symbol accessories of the military ranks and arms in the twelve different styles of military uniforms that our army has successively replaced, and even the Type 07 cannot be compared with it in this regard.

It's just that the Type 55 boat-shaped hat is not good, and the Asian race is not as tall and burly as the Western race, and the vast majority of officers and soldiers cannot wear that kind of mental energy.

Therefore. Yang Weiping used his skillful sketching and drawing techniques, and when the military bigwigs were still discussing and there was no result, he used the color and style of the 07-style military uniform as the blueprint. The collar of his lieutenant's regular dress was changed to a Zhongshan suit style and discipline button, and the training uniform was equipped with a special training belt, supplemented by the rank of the 55-style military uniform and the service symbol accessories of the military arms. It's just that the marshal was abolished, and the highest rank was general. The colonel was changed to brigadier general, and it took three days to design a new modern military uniform that he named the Bayi-style military uniform.

It is named the Bayi style. In addition to the commemoration of Army Day, Yang Weiping estimated that the current processing and manufacturing capacity of the textile and garment industry in China will change all the costumes of more than 4 million PLAs, including dresses, regular clothes, training uniforms, coats, winter clothes, and summer clothes, and it is estimated that they will all be completed in 1981.

In this Bayi-style military uniform, Yang Weiping specially adopted the navy's white regular uniform with the international traditional straight-collar uniform. The spring, autumn and winter uniforms of male non-commissioned officers have been changed to a straight-collar style, and the styles of female military uniforms and officers' spring, autumn and winter uniforms have remained unchanged. There is no collar flower, officers are reassigned to rank symbols, and soldiers are reassigned to rank armbands.

There is no doubt that the No. 1 chief, Xu Qianjian, Ye Jianxiong, Nie Zhenrong and other military commission bigwigs saw the August 1 military uniform designed by Yang Weiping, and they all raised their hands and unanimously passed. Clap on the spot, just use it!

After the military uniform was completed, Yang Weiping then cooperated with the weapon designers of the Light Weapons Research Institute to set up a line with the Tiangong HK Arsenal and introduced the HK-P7 series pistol as the standard pistol of the Chinese army.

In addition to this, a production license for the MP5 family of submachine guns was introduced. Considering that the Bayi assault rifle was only a transitional gun type, Yang Weiping handed over the design of the FN-SCAR rifle to the firearms designers in China, and planned to use this small-caliber assault rifle, which was the No. 1 in the world in later generations, as the standard weapon of the Chinese army in the next stage.

In addition, in view of the weakness of the Huaxia artillery's current lack of an artillery fire control system, Yang Weiping recruited Dr. Wu Gou, a computer genius who was designing a new numerical control program at the Computer Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, to develop a "rapid-fire" artillery light fire control system for use at the company or battalion level, which the Marconi Command and Control System Company had just begun to develop.

The rapid-fire system is a low-cost single-chip microcomputer-controlled all-round artillery fire control system, which is suitable for any battlefield terrain. Accommodates a wide range of firepower distribution methods including all types of ammunition, and can perform target data processing, target recording, and provide information about the location of friendly forces.

This numerical control program, which uses ballistic simulations to derive firing elements, is quite accurate in a variety of engagement situations.

In order to comprehensively suppress the Vietnamese artillery in the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam that will start at the beginning of next year, Yang Weiping put down other tasks at hand and set up a special artillery fire control system project team to personally lead the team to carry out a surprise attack on key problems from hardware to software.

The Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense naturally attaches great importance to this project under the personal command of Director Yang, and the artillery fire control system has always been the weak point of our army's artillery, and the war on the southwest border is about to break out, and all personnel and material resources are inclined to the development of the rapid-fire system.

After a month and five days in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Yang Weiping developed this rapid-fire system programmed with GB1978 Chinese code.

When Defense Minister Xu Qianqian learned of this, he immediately rushed to the Computer Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Seeing the haggard face of Yang Weiping and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, Xu Qianqian didn't care about listening to the research results, but directly ordered Yang Weiping to go to sleep immediately.

This is the fifth time that Yang Weiping has not slept for three consecutive days and three nights during the development of this project. Although he felt tired physically, Yang Weiping's heart was extremely excited.

Because this is the first set of artillery general fire control system independently developed in China, it is at least one generation ahead of the fire control system now adopted by the United States, the Soviet Union and other military powers!

The most important thing is that this is another successful application of GB1978 Chinese code in CNC programming.

"Grandpa Xu, I'm not sleepy, I'm really not sleepy. Yang Weiping carried an aluminum alloy suitcase with a size of 316 * 290 * 71 mm and a weight of only 5.6 kilograms in his hand, and said excitedly: "Now that our army's artillery finally has a special fire control system for our army, this time it will definitely allow the Vietnamese monkeys to try to offend our Huaxia Tianwei What are the serious consequences!"

Xu Qianqian said in a deep voice with a hint of indignation in his eyes: "On June 29, the Vietnamese authorities announced that they would join the Soviet-led Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. For the purpose of containing China, the Soviet Union formally signed the "Soviet-Vietnamese Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation" with Vietnam in the nature of military assistance, supporting Vietnam's expansion in the Indochina Peninsula. ”

In my memory, it seems that this "Soviet-Vietnamese Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation" was signed only in early November 1978, and it seems that because the United States responded to the arms purchases, it had prompted the Soviet government to increase and speed up military aid to Vietnam.

"Hehe, that's to be expected. Yang Weiping pouted contemptuously and smiled: "Now that our army has this good treasure, I promise to give the Soviet old Maozi and the Vietnamese monkeys a big surprise." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Weiping patted the aluminum alloy suitcase in his hand.

"Is it really so amazing?" asked Xu Qianqian solemnly.

"Of course!" Yang Weiping nodded without hesitation and said: "This fire control system, I call it 'Houyi', it can be used as a forward observer, a command post or as a fire display device.

The system consists of three structures: the forward observer data group, the company/battalion computer component, and the artillery display component. By replacing the entire front panel, this fire control system can change from one role to another.

In the role of the forward observer, the system's matrix provides pre-arranged information that enables the forward observer to send all information instructions for target engagement and report the location of himself or other friendly forces directly to the command post via the military radio network or wired telephone. The artillery display component can also receive and display response information.

Company/battalion computer components complete all necessary geodesy and ballistic calculations and help command and control artillery. Every information from the forward observers and artillery can be automatically entered and displayed.

The staff officers of the command post carry out full control through data entry and verify the results of calculations. The output information is automatically transmitted under operator control and via the radio network.

The company/battalion computer component can receive 32 meteorological data of any standard, taking into account the muzzle velocity of different guns, and can simultaneously process 100 target data, 10 friendly areas and 10 firing areas for peacetime training, and if required, generate firing instructions for both missions at the same time.

Towing artillery, self-propelled guns, multiple rocket launchers all have their own artillery display components, which can display all input data sent from the command post and act as a transponder.

The artillery display component can first select the various gun firing elements of the display, including the type of ammunition, charge, fuse, bearing, height and level, firing mode and ammunition volume.

The forward observer data unit and artillery display unit have a power of 2.8 watts, and the company/battalion computer component has a power of 6.5 watts. The system uses digital pulses to transmit firing commands, maximizing the use of the radio network and significantly reducing the total time it takes to kill a target. ”

Hearing that the inconspicuous suitcase in front of him was so powerful, Xu Qianqian didn't care about urging Yang Weiping to rest, and immediately asked Yang Weiping to take six sets of "treasures" and drive to the artillery brigade of the 38th Group Army of the Beijing Military Region to conduct live-fire exercises.

After the live-fire exercise, the artillery brigade commander repeatedly exclaimed that this "Houyi" fire control system is definitely an invincible weapon of our artillery, and it is more than 10 times more powerful than the previous artificial artillery aiming firepower and accuracy.

When the officers and men of the artillery brigade at the scene cheered and congratulated our army on the addition of another powerful secret weapon, Yang Weiping leaned on a pile of empty artillery shell boxes and fell asleep with a "whirring" snoring. (To be continued.) )
