Bai Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and Song Jixue, the party secretary on the side, also looked at Lin Bo with a confused face, and urged urgently: "Lao Lin, what artillery?" How come we haven't heard of it? ”

"I didn't expect my superiors to grasp it so quickly, and I thought it was just a development vision......

Lin Bo took a sip of water and began to talk about the reason, it turned out that after the founding of New China, the central government attached great importance to the development of military equipment, and after summing up the experience of previous civil wars, put forward a series of development plans for weapons and equipment, but before it could be put into practice, it was completely interrupted by the sudden Korean War. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this modern war in the true sense of the word, on the one hand, China defended the motherland from aggression with its flesh and blood, and on the other hand, it was strongly aware of the huge gap between its own equipment level and the world's advanced level, especially in the area of firepower projection, the two could not be the same at all, and this was also the most important reason for the casualties of the volunteers.

From the beginning of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Chinese army has been an army that is good at learning and summing up, from the 16-character proverb of guerrilla warfare to the opening up of base areas behind enemy lines; From the classic tactical principle of the three-three system of infantry, to the movement of the large corps that is interspersed with outflanking and encircling points to send reinforcements.

Almost every stage will allow the Chinese army to absorb the richest nutrients from the unpredictable evolution of the war, so as to continue to grow its own strength, the Korean War is no exception, from the fierce confrontation with the United Nations army, the Chinese army has also learned something that it did not have before, summed up in two: firepower!

It is true that the Japanese army invaded China, and the army of the Nationalist Government was also stronger than our army in terms of firepower, but it was not insurmountable, and through flexible tactical movement and superb coordination, it was still able to inflict great casualties on the enemy.

However, in the face of the United Nations army, which was armed to the teeth, our army's traditional flexible tactics encountered great challenges, because this new enemy not only had aircraft and artillery, but also the regimental formation was also equipped with quite powerful fire support weapons, so that every infantry platoon was equipped with a 60mm mortar, and even every infantry squad was equipped with a "Bazooka" rocket launcher.

It is precisely because of this that the United Nations Army, whether in attack or defense, can calmly advance and retreat freely under the cover of dense fire nets, and our army can not only hate this, but also cannot help but envy the extraordinary, and thus will also enhance the firepower of our army, especially the accompanying firepower of infantry, as an important direction of future army building, and vigorously develop it.

"When I held a meeting in the capital, the responsible comrades of the relevant departments proposed a two-legged approach on this issue, so as to quickly strengthen the basic principle of our army's infantry firepower structure, that is, to lay the foundation for the firepower structure that our army urgently needs by introducing mature weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union; At the same time, in view of the deficiencies in the Soviet Union's equipment, it is necessary to concentrate its own technical strength to check and fill in the gaps, especially in the artillery accompanying the infantry, and strive to find a set of equipment systems that conform to China's actual conditions in the process of development! ”

Lin Bo talked about what he had seen and heard when he went to the capital to participate in the National Military Industrial Conference some time ago, but as he spoke, his face full of wind and frost couldn't help but smile ashamedly at everyone present: "At that time, almost all the participants, including me, basically took the first article as the focus, after all, the Soviet Union has begun to provide us with weapons and equipment, and even some equipment has provided a full set of technical information, and many brother factories have begun to imitate, so they don't care much about the second point. But I didn't expect that the superior leaders would pay much more attention than us......"

In the end, Lin Bo couldn't help but be full of emotion, in fact, he can't blame Lin Bo and others for ignoring the self-research plan, anyway, the military industry conference that Lin Bo participated in was held in the context of the Soviet Union's formal implementation of large-scale military aid, since the victory of the second battle, the once invincible United Nations Army was forced back to the 38th parallel by the volunteers.

Stalin, in the Moscow Kremlin, began to be uneasy, because he never expected that the poorly equipped Chinese army would actually win, which made him look at the Chinese army with admiration, and he had to start to re-examine this new ally of so-called comrades and brothers.

So a huge plan to hold back the United States in the Far East and buy time for the development of the Soviet Union gradually came into being in the heart of this revolutionary leader, but to implement this plan, China's existing forces alone were obviously not enough, so Stalin ordered that the surplus materials of the Soviet army in World War II that had been promised to China be immediately sent to China for use in the Korean battlefield, which was in the heat of the fierce battle.

As for the plan for the introduction of relevant weapons and equipment technology that he did not agree with before, Stalin also made an unprecedented opening, so the "Bobosha" submachine gun; DP-27 turntable light machine gun; A complete set of technical materials on a number of classic weapons and equipment of the Soviet army during World War II, such as the SG-43 heavy machine gun and the ZIS-3 76mm cannon, were provided to China.

Seeing that there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, military factories all over the country are naturally red-eyed and focused on the task distribution of Soviet equipment, and as for the follow-up issues of self-research and non-development, many people have not even listened to it.

It's like a big sweet cake and a walnut that is difficult to peel together for people to choose, as long as the normal thinking naturally scrambles to share the delicious cake, the hard and difficult walnut is not kicked into the garbage heap, how can it be like these people's eyes?

After all, the Baiyun Factory under his leadership has developed extremely rapidly in the past year, especially after the batch of "German scrap" obtained from the Soviet Union, its basic technical strength has swelled to a new height.

Although I dare not say that it is the first class in the country, it can really be among the forefront, especially after Bai Yi and others assembled several precision machine tools for processing fuses and optical equipment, it made Baiyun Factory have the capital to be proud of the domestic military industry, because of this, Lin Bo can be said to be determined to win.

But he didn't expect that after the final task was assigned, he found that the Baiyun Factory, which ranked in the forefront of technical strength, did not get two skins, which made Lin Bo very depressed, even if he returned to the Baiyun Factory, he was depressed for several days, until he saw this telegram from the head of the General Logistics Department, he swept away the depression for many days, because he saw another possibility from this short telegram......

So Lin Bo finally showed a long-lost smile, and continued excitedly: "If the imitation of Soviet-made equipment is one leg, then the so-called self-research plan of the superior is the other leg, the combination of imitation and independence, in order to make the development of our equipment fast and stable, haha, I just say, the superior will not forget the ...... of our Baiyun factory."
