Chapter 193: Uninvited Guest
Lao Wu's name is Wu Yunzhe, he joined the Red Army in the thirties, because he had been an apprentice in the factory in his early years and knew some mechanical processing, so he was recruited by the arsenal of the base area at that time, and this work was 20 years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
from the 25,000-mile Long March to the opening up of anti-Japanese base areas; From the indefinite residence in the early days of the civil war to the leadership of the Northeast Military Factory to support the national battlefield operations during the final Armageddon, Wu Yunzhe can be said to have grown China's military industry from scratch every step of the way, and as for himself, he has watered this "towering tree" that supports the Chinese army with sweat and even blood......
In order to understand the structure of the mortar, he took the unexploded Japanese mortar shell back and disassembled it himself, as a result, an explosion occurred, resulting in the two fingers of his left hand being blown off; In order to refine the mercury needed for ammunition, he ignored the damage of this heavy metal to his body and came into contact with it for a long time, so that his nerves still have pain from time to time; In order to get a suitable fuse, he disregarded the opposition of his subordinates and personally went into battle to dismantle the delayed fuse on the American-made aerial bomb, and finally got the fuse, but the ensuing explosion seriously injured him.
It was precisely by virtue of perseverance and hard work, as well as almost life-threatening hard work, that Wu Yunzhe gradually completed the development and mass production of 60mm mortars, 75mm mountain guns, high-power hand grenades, new delayed fuses, and a large number of auxiliary ammunition under extremely difficult conditions, thus providing extremely favorable support for our army, which was backward in equipment at that time.
Because of this, when the situation in the northeast gradually became clear, the central government sent him to the northeast, sitting in Dalian, to focus on the military production of the whole northeast, and after the liberation of the country, he was ready to entrust him with important tasks, but he did not expect that the injury and illness of many years would recur, and he had no choice but to go to the Soviet Union for treatment.
Wu Yunzhe is a person who can't be idle, even if he receives treatment, he will squeeze out time to study the advanced military technology theory of the Soviet Union, go to the Chinese students to ask for advice when he doesn't understand the language, and when his condition improves slightly, he will find the Chinese embassy to apply to visit the Soviet military factory.
Wu Yunzhe's attending physician often complained to him, saying that his illness was not yet cured and he couldn't run around, whenever this happened, Wu Yunzhe would smile apologetically: "China is still very backward, so we must hurry up, I have been wasting three months on the hospital bed, since I can move, then I can't delay any longer......"
After coming and going, his attending physician had to give him a thumbs up in admiration while being helpless, saying that Wu Yunzhe was simply "China's Paul Kochakin!" ”
Wu Yunzhe only smiled at the attending physician's praise, but he didn't care if he was Paul Kochagin, because he knew that if New China didn't even know how real steel was made, even if he was Paul Kochagin, it would be useless.
Therefore, he put all his energy into the study of new technologies, just like a newborn baby, hungry and thirsty to absorb **, as much as possible to absorb the new knowledge that had never been heard of before, at the beginning Wu Yunzhe was also exposed to the new knowledge, the Soviet weapons and equipment he saw were shocked inexplicably, but when he had an in-depth understanding, especially after combining more than 20 years of experience in the border military industry, he gradually discovered that the Soviet weapons and equipment were good, but they may not be completely in line with the current situation of the Chinese army.
You must know that the territory where the Soviet army is expected to fight is the vast European plain, based on which the Soviet Union attaches special importance to the construction of heavy armored mechanized corps, because the plains of the Yima Pingchuan are particularly suitable for the vertical and horizontal galloping of the "modern iron horse", and therefore, the Soviet Union mainly focuses on heavy mechanized equipment in the development of weapons and equipment.
Not to mention a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, the same is true for various types of artillery, machine guns and ammunition, what stands out is nothing more than firepower and simplicity of manufacturing, in the words of the Soviets themselves, when a full-scale war starts, the consumption of weapons and equipment will be a bottomless pit, so strong firepower can give the enemy the greatest damage before being destroyed; The simplicity of manufacture in order to facilitate mass production in the rear and thus compensate for the ultra-high losses at the front is not the result of some expert calculations, but the lessons of our Great Patriotic War.
If it is an ordinary military industry expert, he may be infinitely envious when he sees the weapons and equipment and development ideas of the Soviet Union, but Wu Yunzhe, who has 20 years of practical experience, does not see it that way, it is good to pay attention to firepower and make it simple, but the equipment created is born for consumption, which makes it difficult for Wu Yunzhe to accept.
Weapons and equipment are all things piled up with real money, how much waste will it cause if they are consumed as soon as they come up? In those days, when they were in the base area, the bullet casings fired by the soldiers had to be brought back and reloaded, and the damaged rifles could not be thrown around, but had to be brought back to the factory for reconstruction.
Now that the People's Republic of China has been founded, the conditions are naturally much better than those in the base areas, but the nature of poverty has not changed, and all kinds of materials are also extremely scarce.
What's more, almost all of the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Union were developed based on heavy mechanized warfare, and the Soviets were burly and tall, so many weapons and equipment were very heavy, which was not suitable for the actual situation of China, a mountainous plateau, complex terrain, and thin body.
After all, the Chinese army at this time was still dominated by infantry, and it is difficult to reach the mechanization level of the Soviet army in the foreseeable future, so it is a long-term plan for the future to develop a batch of weapons and equipment that is in line with China's actual national conditions.
"What's more, I also saw that the weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union to us this time are basically the old equipment from the World War II period, which is 10 to 20 years worse than the new weapons equipped by the Soviet Union itself, so it is still the same sentence, you can't count on others for good things, you have to do it yourself, and the so-called iron has to be hard!"
Wu Yunzhe sighed and continued: "Because of this, I focused on artillery, we had less of this kind of equipment before, and the effect of supporting the infantry was immediate, and the most important thing is that we have a good start in this regard.
For example, the 35mm grenade launcher of the Baiyun Factory, the Type 50 102mm rocket launcher of the Bohai Factory, and the American 57mm recoilless artillery imitated by several factories in the Central Plains are all representatives of this kind of equipment. ”
"I have the same idea as you, and if we do it, we will not only improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but also enhance the overall technical capability of the military industry...... Jingle bell~~~"
The head of the General Logistics Department was saying that the phone on the table on Xing's head suddenly remembered, and the head of the General Logistics Department didn't think too right, so he picked it up, and before he could finish listening, a pair of heavy brows wrinkled deeply, and after putting down the phone, he didn't wait for Wu Yunzhe to ask, so he said very unhappily: "This Yaktoev is simply a ghost!" ”
At this moment, he was sitting on the train from the capital to Shencheng, looking at the white snow scene outside the window, and his old and fair face showed a little childlike smile, and then turned his head to look at the assistant Korolev opposite: "I didn't expect that the snow scene in China is also very beautiful, especially the feeling of being in the field, which makes me feel like I have returned to Pushkin's poetry, which makes people very intoxicated." ”
"Seriously, I love it too!" Korolev said as he handed the peeled apple in his hand to Yaktoev, and then continued with a meaningful smile on his face: "If those Chinese are as pure as the scenery outside, I think we will be even more intoxicated!" ”
Yaktoev was tasting the Jiaodong apples that China had specially provided for them, and suddenly listened to Korolev's words, and couldn't help but look stunned, and in a blink of an eye, the childlike smile disappeared, replaced by an extremely solemn expression, and even the apples in his mouth felt a little unpleasant.
"I don't know what they're trying to do!"
After a long time, Yaktoev put the half-eaten apple on the table in front of him with a "knock~~", a pair of emerald blue eyes flashed with a little puzzlement, but more of a hatred of iron and steel, so that even the tone of his voice trembled a little.
As if his own son had caused some trouble, he said angrily: "What can China do with this ability? With all this time, it is better to learn more basic knowledge from our great Soviet Union, and digest more of the existing equipment, but they have not even learned to climb, and they are about to run...... Ahem~~~"
It seemed that he was angry to the extreme, Yaktoev, an old man over sixty years old, almost didn't catch his breath for a while, coughed violently, Korolev on the side hurriedly stroked his back and fed medicine, and it took a long time for Yaktoev to ease up, stretched out his hand to stop Korolev, and then slowly continued: "If you get some tanks, artillery or something, forget it, but what are they going to get?" Light recoilless artillery, light rocket artillery, what do you listen to? They are already regular troops, so they should strive to achieve motorization and mechanization, but our Chinese comrades still can't get rid of the habit of being guerrillas, and I really don't know how they won the war in Korea! ”
Seeing that Yaktoev was so angry that his old illness relapsed, Korolev's eyes flashed a trace of smugness, but he quickly took away this smugness and replaced it with a look of anger with Yaktoev and said: "No way, our Chinese comrades have a strong sense of self-esteem, and a strong sense of national pride prompts them to have a strong urge to do something, just like a baby, just learning to crawl, thinking about walking as soon as possible, very uneasy with the status quo."
In particular, after the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun and the 35mm revolver grenade launcher were developed, these Chinese comrades burst into self-confidence, thinking that there was nothing in the world that they could not come up with, and even felt that they could be stronger than our Soviet Union in some aspects......
"Pride? Hmph, pride also has to have proud capital! ”
Before Korolev finished speaking, Yaktoev interrupted him with a cold snort: "I have also read the equipment you mentioned, the idea is very good, and there are some bright spots, but if you dig deeper, you will find that these two types of equipment are not practical at all, not to mention the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun."
It is nothing more than a bolt sleeve set up behind the barrel, and the recoil is counteracted by the bolt together with the bolt, plus two thick reentry springs, which completely dilute the powerful recoil released by the 14.5mm ammunition, which has to be said to be a good way.
But a good way is not equal to be able to make a good weapon, the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun is said to be an anti-aircraft machine gun, but the rate of fire of a single barrel is limited after all, but if it is used to make a heavy machine gun and it is too heavy, the most important thing is processing and manufacturing, in order to reduce the weight of this gun uses a lot of aluminum alloy components, and the processing of the internal workpiece of the firearm also involves a lot of precision machining links, not to mention the high cost, it is not conducive to large-scale production, whether it is a heavy burden on the army or the military factory produced in the rear.
The same is true for the 35mm revelor grenade launcher, the low-voltage launch principle is indeed eye-catching, but the launcher created is really flattering, not to mention the establishment, the firepower is not very high, and it is also time-consuming to reload, and its action space is not very large in real high-intensity actual combat......"
Yaktoev is worthy of being a senior professor at Moscow University, a well-known old expert in the military industry and technology in the Soviet Union, who has not touched the real thing, and only read the design drawings of the two equipment a few times, and then clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two equipment.
Fortunately, Bai Yi was not here, otherwise he would have to make Yaktoev angry, so he could only let Yaktoev tell how China's new equipment was, so that in the end he had to pour two sips of boiled water before concluding: "To put it bluntly, these two pieces of equipment are at most a verification product, and they are not mature at all."
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if these two pieces of equipment are mature, China does not have the ability to manufacture them on a large scale, so many aluminum alloy structures, does China have the ability to produce aluminum? With so many precision machined components, can China's precision machining really reach the world's first-class? Since it cannot be mass-produced, it is not weapons and equipment, but specimens that are not even works of art...... Dut ~~~~~ Dut ~~~~~ Shencheng Railway Station has arrived! "Since it can't be mass-produced
