If you want to treat firepower phobia, you must work how to improve firepower, and those staff officers who have been tempered by war naturally have Bai Yi's incomparable rich experience, for example, there are several staff officers who advocate the plan to strengthen artillery construction, and the importance of artillery support firepower is explained in simple terms, and the tactical use of the god of war is brought into full play.

There are also advocates of the development of aviation units, and the reason is very simple: Since the strength of the US military relies on extremely sharp air forces, why can't China build its own powerful air forces? Dropping bombs from the sky, whether in terms of power or accuracy, as well as damage effect and range, is much better than that of traditional artillery.

There are also some more conservative ones, proposing that heavy machine guns be the focus of equipment for front-line troops, so that the infantry units will become around heavy machine guns, so that the firepower of the troops will naturally increase exponentially......

And so on and so forth!

However, the chiefs of armaments are not very satisfied; building artillery and aviation is certainly an effective way to solve the problem of weak firepower, but the technical requirements of these two arms are high, the equipment development cycle is long, and the formation of combat capability is slow.

It is an immediate way to deploy a large number of heavy machine guns to the front-line troops, but the problem is that the heavy machine guns in the hands of the volunteers now weigh at least 30 kilograms or more, plus about two bases of ammunition, to say the least, it will cost 50 kilograms, and it is better to say that positional warfare is an offensive war and a movement war, with such a "heavyweight" equipment, an infantry squad does not need to do anything, just serve this guy directly.

After all, in the absence of motor vehicles, such a heavy machine gun seriously limited the flexible tactical advantage of the volunteer army that only relied on the soles of the feet to maneuver, so a large number of configurations were naturally undesirable.

After thinking about it, the plan proposed by Bai Yi is more reliable, there is no way, the two new infantry outfits really make the eyes of the head of armaments brighten.

And those two types of infantry equipment are nothing else, it is the 80mm recoilless artillery and the 40mm individual rocket launcher developed from the No. 1 and No. 2 recoilless guns.

Since the 40mm recoilless artillery launched in the Soviet shooting range after the first battle of Yang Wei, the country has quickly replanned the two recoilless artillery as the key equipment of the army in the future, so the original titles of the No. 1 and No. 2 recoilless artillery have been replaced by more appropriate 80mm recoilless artillery and 40mm individual rocket launchers.

As for the resources required for development, they were allocated sufficiently at the first time, so these two types of equipment, which were originally advancing at a rapid pace, finally entered the fast lane of development, and their progress can be described as a rapid progress.

As the former chief designer and the technical director of the two equipment production and supporting factories, Bai Yi still knows the movements of 80mm recoilless artillery and 40mm individual rocket launchers, although he did not equip the heavy firepower company that had been trained in the Baiyun Factory for the first time.

However, these two "heavy weapons" designed to improve the firepower of infantry have always been Bai Yi's killer tools tailored for the heavy firepower company, but the process in the process is much more complicated than Bai Yi imagined.

Needless to say, the 40mm individual rocket launcher has been fully demonstrated in the Soviet Union, and afterwards it was requested by many Eastern European countries to purchase a batch of 40mm individual rocket launchers.

East Germany, Czechoslovakia and other Eastern European countries with strong military industrial strength even hope that China can transfer technology and production lines, and for this reason they do not hesitate to exchange the same industrial technology, for example, East Germany is ready to exchange electronic industry technology for a full set of technical drawings and production lines for 40mm individual rocket launchers.

To this end, the two countries have agreed on the terms of the deal, and the first batch of East German experts have settled in an industrial planning zone on the outskirts of the capital, where they are preparing to build a modern electronic instrument factory.

Eastern European countries are so eager for 40mm individual bazookas that it's nothing, and the Soviet Union actually has eyebrows on this equipment, but because of the face problem, it can't be as direct as the little brothers in Eastern Europe, China is still very generous, since I'm embarrassed to say it, then I don't need to say it, just give it to you.

This touched the Soviets badly, not to mention, in the original help to China!! ~！！ Meng and Gan~~! ~~ On the basis of exploration, development and smelting of non-ferrous metals in Suzhou and Suzhou, we will also assist a modern steel research institute and a special steel production workshop.

It can be said that a small 40mm individual rocket launcher, before it has experienced actual combat, has already gained a world-famous power, and has achieved incredible economic benefits, which makes some domestic leaders ecstatic, ready to strike while the iron is hot, and launch an 80mm recoilless gun, so that they can once again exchange the much-needed industrial technology and production lines from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.

As for the reason is very simple, the 40mm individual rocket launcher in the Soviet shooting range is amazing, the kind of T-54 tank and tofu fighting the same brave performance, really make the military representatives of Eastern European countries unforgettable.

And the 80mm recoilless artillery, although the caliber is larger, the power is stronger, but in the eyes of these countries, it is just an upgraded version of the power of the 40mm individual rocket launcher, plus I have neither seen the test, nor experienced the actual combat, what is the actual situation, it is really heart-beating, after all, buying arms is not buying cabbage in the market, and it is not a shame to lose, but life, and even national fortune!

Therefore, from the point of view of the head of the General Logistics Department and others, it is very hoped that this equipment will be put into actual combat, especially on the Korean battlefield where fierce battles are raging, so as to gain attention and exchange for the required industrial technology again; However, the troops have some ambiguity about whether these two types of equipment are equipped with troops.

The 40mm individual bazooka is good to say, it can be delegated to a platoon or squad and become a powerful fire support weapon for infantry, but the status of the 80mm recoilless gun is a little embarrassing, and it stands to reason that this kind of recoilless gun with a caliber of more than 50mm should be classified as a divisional artillery regiment.

However, the firing range of this 80mm recoilless gun cannot meet the requirements of the divisional artillery regiment, if it is delegated to the front-line troops, the establishment of this mixed artillery is somewhat nondescript, and the requirements for the commander are very high, and the slightest carelessness will cause confusion in the command, and a bad result is more than worth the loss.

Therefore, the troops are still inclined to postpone the idea of equipping themselves with 80mm recoilless guns.

Bai Yi, who has been paying attention to this matter, to be honest, there is no good way, after all, the original intention of the development of this 80mm recoilless gun is to enhance the battalion-level firepower, but the problem is that in the troops, the concept of battalion-level support firepower has not yet been established, if necessary, regiments and divisions can implement fire support for the battalion, and there is no need for battalion-level units to be equipped with much heavy firepower.

In other words, the independent combat capability of the battalion-level troops at this time did not reach the ability to take charge of the situation in the previous life, and at best it was just a relay guide between the regiment and the company, so it was reasonable for the 80mm recoilless artillery as a battalion-level fire support to have such an embarrassing situation.

Until the chief of armaments consulted him about a treatment for his phobia of firepower......
