Chapter 379: The Problem of Firearms

The situation between Bai Yi and Tang Jixian, where can he escape the eyes of the head of armaments, naturally he will not say the cow~~! ~~ The two words of forcing were from what Tang Jixian said just now, so under the deliberate guidance of the old Tang and the three silences of the head of the armaments, Bai Yi, the man who betrayed the pot, was born so brightly!

However, Bai Yi's depressed mood did not last long, and he was attracted by the tactical offensive drill connected by heavy firepower, and the 80mm recoilless gun and the 82mm mortar formed two firepower networks of long-distance direct aim and curved shooting.

The close-range 40mm individual rocket launcher and 40mm revolver grenade launcher seamlessly coordinate point assault with surface killing.

In addition, the long-range support of the 14.5mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun and the accompanying attack of the PD-27 light machine gun formed a cross-barrage.

It is no exaggeration to say that aside the support of artillery and aviation, as far as the infantry detachment is concerned, the firepower projection of the heavy firepower company has exceeded the firepower strike capability of the US infantry detachment of the same level.

But then again, it is precisely because of the super attack power of artillery and aviation that American GIs can be so relaxed, and in short, there is still a long way to go to cure the so-called firephobia!

"It's a pity that the production capacity of the Type 50 automatic rifle has never been able to be raised, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the company can be raised to a higher level!"

Lao Tang looked at the meticulous fighting appearance of his soldiers, his face was not happy, but with a little regret, most of the light and heavy equipment of the heavy firepower company was localized, but there were two firearms that had to rely on the Soviet Union, namely the PD-27 turntable light machine gun and the "Mosin Nagant" cavalry rifle.

After all, the number of ZB-26 light machine guns equipped by the Volunteer Army is not sufficient, and there has been no substantial progress in the field of light machine guns in China, so it is reasonable to equip this classic light machine gun from the Soviet Union during World War II.

The key is the "Mosin Nagant" riding rifle!

It stands to reason that the Type 50 automatic rifle began to be put into production in the second half of last year, and it has been a while now, and even once in the Sino-Soviet arms purchase negotiations, the Chinese side also used the 50 automatic rifle to put pressure on the Soviet side, but how did it still be equipped with the Soviet Union's "Mosin Nagant" cavalry rifle in the end?

The reason is simple: insufficient capacity!

Although the production process has been simplified and the manufacturing threshold has been greatly reduced, there are only three manufacturers in the country that can produce Type 50 automatic rifles, except for the Baiyun Factory.

Although the volunteers who entered the DPRK were given priority equipment, it was impossible for the elite troops stationed in the country to be left behind, such as the guard troops in the capital area, the garrison troops stationed on the southeast coast to face the remnants of the enemy, and the local garrisons in the northwest plateau region facing rebellion at all times.

There is an urgent need for the Type 50 automatic rifle, a high-performance firearm, to strengthen the combat capability of front-line troops.

In the face of such a large demand for equipment, the annual production capacity of 40,000 Type 50 automatic rifles is simply a drop in the bucket, so although Lao Tang went to his superiors to apply several times, he was ruthlessly beaten back.

He can only complain with Bai Yi, the creator of the Type 50 automatic rifle, but Bai Yi can't help it, although he knows that some military factories in China have begun to build and expand the production line of the Type 50 automatic rifle, but the construction cycle, personnel training, process running-in and other production things take time, unless the army wants low-quality defective products, otherwise there is no hurry.

Otherwise, why should Bai Yi take care of the production capacity of the Type 50 automatic rifle in the Baiyun Factory, and the light machine gun developed based on the gun is still on the drawings? And why just put forward the concept and direction of the universal machine gun, and not put it into the actual development?

Without him, he just didn't want to squeeze out the resources of the Type 50 automatic rifle, but despite this, the troops had to use the "Mosin Nagant" cavalry gun as a transitional product.

Just like the Chinese Air Force in the previous life, when the J-11 upgrade was frustrated and the J-20 was still in test flight, in the face of the gradual spread of the fifth-generation aircraft trend in the Asia-Pacific region, it could only introduce the Su-35 as a transitional model to slightly resist the threat of the fifth-generation aircraft to China.

However, when the J-20 is successfully put into service and a series of improved versions of the J-11 such as the J-16 are successfully developed, the Chinese Air Force naturally does not need the blessing of the Su-35.

And now the Chinese army's firearms are the same, when domestic products can not meet their own needs, with a mature and reliable foreign firearm as a transition is an inevitable choice.

Although it is not as deep as Bai Yi thought, Lao Tang still understands the truth, so he does not have a lot of grudges about firearms, but what Lao Tang will never forget is to have his affairs, that is, the tank that the deputy head of the Zhi Division promised him!

The match was matched to him, but before he could be happy, the baby-like tank was transferred away with an order from his superiors, on the grounds that after Lao Tang's pure infantry heavy firepower company joined the tank, the combat effectiveness decreased seriously!

This made Lao Tang almost crazy, indeed, after the arrival of the tank, he organized several infantry tank coordinated training is not very ideal, but it is the run-in period between officers and soldiers and equipment, some problems are normal, not to mention that with the tank, relying on heavy armor and mobile firepower, the attack of his heavy firepower company can only be sharper, how can it be possible to reduce combat effectiveness?

So Old Tang only said a few words about the firearm, but he began to talk about this matter: "...... Lao Bai, you say, what is the reason for this? It's a joke that tanks will cause our company's combat effectiveness to decrease, since you fiddled with that tank, the effect of that blow has ...... It's not that I'm talking big, it's just a hundred steps through Yang...... It turned out to be ......"

"Alright, don't nag around like a, crying and shouting for tanks, then I ask you what if the tank breaks down when you attack? On the march, how can a target the size of a tank be concealed once it is attacked by the US military? In addition, this offensive operation had to pass through a period of undulating mountainous terrain and break through several strong enemy lines. ”

Before Lao Tang finished speaking, he was dumbfounded by a series of questions from the chief of armaments on the side, and Lao Tang actually knew that tanks could become a drag on their heavy firepower company at some point, but he was a little unwilling in the face of such good equipment.

How could the head of armaments not see his thoughts, so he continued to say in a deep voice: "Combat effectiveness is not as simple as one plus one equals two, but to seek truth from facts, but also to know how to make trade-offs, this Xiaobai has done a good job, you have to learn hard!" ”

Although the ideological work of the old Tang Dynasty is quite easy, he is still very clear about the benefits and harms, although the nature of the two things is not the same, but the reason is figured out, so after listening to the chief of armaments' sentence "know how to make trade-offs", he reacted immediately, and hurriedly stood up at the chief of armaments: "Yes, chief, I understand!" ”

"Chief, Shiji is in a hurry!"

At this moment, a correspondent hurriedly ran over and handed over an urgent telegram to the chief of armaments, who opened it and frowned: "I didn't expect to do it so soon!" ”
