The funny thing is that with powerful technology, almost any French power can abuse them once when they are angry, and the French are really not angry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment, the technology of the Hong Kong Arsenal cannot produce artillery, not even mortars!

However, at the moment, President Moe is requesting the production of grenadiers!

The Hong Kong Arsenal of the Chinese Army has mastered the technology of smokeless fire, and the simple cannon barrels required for grenadiers can also be produced, although the accuracy is far from enough, but it is almost used in the battlefields of Guangdong and Hong Kong in China in 1873.

Accuracy is not a big problem, there is such a thing, it can alleviate the situation that the Chinese army does not have shells.

It's all about the material.

The steel pipe required for the grenade barrel to be manufactured by itself requires a large amount of steel and a more complex process.

The steel produced by the Hong Kong steel mills could not meet this requirement, and President Meng came up with a way to dismantle the rails of the railway laid by the British.

"Dismantle all the rails and deal with the production of grenadiers first." President Meng decisively picked up the phone and said to Matthew McFaedens, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Huh?" Matthew McFellows sighed softly, he couldn't help it, I don't know how President Meng came up with it, and he was convinced. "President, how can this be?"

President Meng Qidao: "The quality of the rails is first-class, isn't it?" Isn't the quality up to par? ”

Matthew McFellows scratched his head, also reacted, and said: "The president is too smart, it's not that it doesn't match, we just thought, how could we not think of it?" Can you dismantle the rails and use them to make grenadiers? ”

President Meng said lightly, "Because you won't think of dismantling the things that have been made, you are all people who are used to living a rich life and not a poor life, do you know?" In poor homes, when there is no firewood for heating, even the door panel will be removed and burned first. ”

Matthew McFellows laughed: "It's still the president who knows a lot about things." ”

President Meng hung up the phone, he couldn't laugh, the war was fought to this extent, and now President Meng didn't dare to go to the front line to see it, and a large number of wounded soldiers were carried down every day.

The attack of the British is not ferocious, but it is very rhythmic, like dancing, coming around every day, which is long-term, the Chinese army and the construction corps can't stand it, this is still Hong Kong, and all the resources in the hands of President Meng are concentrated, and the war situation in Guangdong can be imagined.

Jie Gege looked at President Meng, a slight sweetness in his heart, these days, of course, Jie Gege's mood is not good, seeing that the streets are full of wounded soldiers, many wounded soldiers because of lack of medicine, there is no way to treat, it can be said that a bullet, even if it does not hit the vital part, can kill the Chinese soldiers.

But when Jiegege saw that President Meng was so calm, he was still a little calmer.

Because the Chinese army is now fighting against the British army, when fighting foreigners, Jiegege is still firmly on the side of President Meng, and Jiegege is also admired for President Meng being so smart.

"Geger, aren't you going in?" Princess Katrina Kafu asked suddenly.

Jiegege sighed, his face flushed, "If you don't go in, I'll see what the president is doing." ”

Princess Katrina Kaaf glanced at Geger, "You can go in if you want, the president likes you by his side." ”

"Not really." Geig returned to her place, and she was temporarily assigned to work in the President's Secretariat.

Princess Katrina Kafu smiled faintly, and immediately went to arrange for the use of rails to make materials.

Princess Katrina Kaf's heart is bigger, a bit of a female bandit, which is where President Moe is ashamed.

It was as if Princess Katrina Kaave could cope with her own injuries.

The demolition work was completed by the Construction Corps, the local militia and ordinary people in Hong Kong, and this source of raw materials was not easy.

The problem of cartridge material was solved, and the problem of ammunition material reappeared.

Due to the greater demand for raw materials for ammunition, we have a very limited number of rails, and it is impossible to use them as ammunition materials.

After careful consideration, the designers decided to use white pig iron as the raw material.

However, the traditional process of producing white pig iron is smelted by soil method, which has high carbon content and very brittle iron, and the projectile body will be broken once it is machined and cannot be used.

Metallurgical engineer and military engineer Matthew McFellows and a group of scientists, on the basis of repeated experiments, used foreign black-hearted toughening treatment technology and traditional simmering technology to solve the problem of fragile bombs, and produced 5,000 grenades in half a month to meet the requirements of President Meng and the needs of the front line as much as possible.

Among these grenades, poison is also added, it's not that President Meng is crazy, and he really doesn't have to be polite to treat the invaders, how many Chinese people have they killed?

The problem of raw materials has been solved, and the problem of processing technology has come to the fore again.

There were also many problems in the manufacture of grenade barrels, such as the lack of spot welding technology, and the inability of forged and bonded cartridges to withstand high temperatures, which were solved by designers with surprising imagination and accelerated production through many improvements.

The grenadier is rifled for increased accuracy, and the grenade also has a copper belt on it.

After research, the designers increased the length of the launch canister from 280 mm to 400 mm, and the walls of the canister were thickened accordingly, with a range of 500 meters.

The production of more accurate press-fire grenadiers, 60 mm caliber grenadiers, and even grenadiers that can be used to shoot pillboxes horizontally, in short, has become a series of products of its own.

One hundred grenadiers, five thousand grenadier shells.

This is a miracle in the history of industry, and it is also a miracle in the history of China's military industry, because it only took one month to complete the task assigned by President Meng five times.

The range of 500 meters is five times the power of a grenade, the key is the range and accuracy, the grenade is thrown by people, at most 50 meters, it can exceed 70 meters, and when you go to the Olympics, you have to kneel down if you throw a discus throw a shot put.

The grenadier is essentially a mortar, its main features are a large angle of fire, a curved trajectory and a short range.

It is mainly used to kill and injure the enemy hiding behind fortifications and concealments or to kill and injure the enemy's living force at a long distance, its killing effect is good, it is easy to operate, and can be accompanied by a single soldier to move with the first-line infantry to support the first-line infantry. It is highly concealed due to its individual portability and the ability to launch behind obstacles.

The army of this era, without grenadiers, could not form effective suppressive fire.

President Meng suddenly advanced the technology of the grenadier by 60 years, which is not half a century, because it has been more than half a century!

The role of the grenadier is approximately the same as that of the current gun-mounted grenade launcher, which can be carried by individual men against enemy firing points or enemy forces that exist in small groups.

In World War II and many subsequent wars, there were not many scenes of hundreds or thousands of people charging next to each other like in the movies.

The vast majority of the battles were fought in small detachments in squad or platoon units under the cover of their own artillery fire or armored vehicles; because of the small number of people and scattered in this kind of combat, it was relatively difficult to strike at these targets with firearms and weapons; in the Vietnam War, the US military fired tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition per Vietnamese soldier killed and wounded on average.

On the contrary, the grenadier is a very different weapon, which can fire a grenade at a distance of more than 10 meters (20 meters with a special grenade).

Due to the close firing distance and the high hit rate (the hit rate of Japanese veterans was as high as 95%), if it is a group target, a grenade can often kill and injure more than ten people.

In street fighting in Mogadishu, Somalia, the Black militia compensated for the frequent firing of RPGs due to their inferior firepower to the US Delta Special Forces and Rangers. The Japanese army could not solve the infantry platoon by conventional means, only by unconventional means.

As a weapon that can effectively enhance the firepower of infantry, the grenadier was used in the Chinese theater even until the Korean War, where it was used for a full third of a century.

The grenadier canister is lightweight, easy to carry, and provides timely fire support.

After the rails were removed, the problem of a serious shortage of steel was solved at once.

It should be said that there is a serious shortage of high-quality steel.

These short-distance railways in Hong Kong, as well as tram tracks, are all very high-quality steel, which can be used to make giant cannons, and there is no problem in making cannonballs.

Of course, President Moe won't let people use these steels, which are more valuable than gold, to make cannonballs, so he can only use them with grenadiers and cannonballs first.

"President, the British army has broken through the second line of defense!" Princess Katrina Kaaf couldn't control her emotions anymore.

Jie Gege and Qiu Yun, as well as a group of female secretaries of the president's secretariat, all stood up, and everyone knew what it meant to break through the second line of defense, which meant that the British army had attacked into Hong Kong's inner harbor.

President Meng just said lightly, "Got it." ”

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

The British charged fiercely against the third line of defense of the Chinese army.

Thousands of corpses have been thrown down on both sides of this line alone, and the British army has slightly more dead than the Chinese army, because the British army is on the offensive.

Artillery shells are awesome, and they are absolutely awesome, but no matter how awesome the artillery cover is, there must be infantry assaults, so wars are fought back and forth, one is to fight money, and the other is to fight people's willpower, the army's willpower, and the people's willpower.

President Meng is still the same principle, even if the bullets run out, it's a big deal to jump into the sea.

The British and Chinese Hong Kong garrison divisions engaged in fierce bayonet hand-to-hand combat on the third line of defense!

The position changed hands repeatedly, and finally the third line of defense and the second line of defense were recaptured by the Chinese army in succession!

Princess Katrina Kaf's voice was hoarse: "President! We've recaptured the second line of defense. ”

The female secretaries of the entire presidential secretariat hugged and cried.

President Meng just said lightly: "Got it." ”

The British army then attacked the second line of defense from the first line of defense every day, and the two sides attacked and defended each other.

The British gradually reduced their shelling.

As President Meng expected, no matter how awesome your industrial strength is, you have to transport shells from the British mainland, and how expensive are the shells?

The cost of shipping is high, not to mention the cost of the shells themselves, and no matter how powerful a country is, if it does not build a military factory near the battlefield, it will not be able to complete the crushing of artillery fire!

If the British army is allowed to build an arsenal in Guangdong, the British government will certainly not be able to make up its mind, because it is too dangerous and not cost-effective, and it will really turn into a full-scale war against China, which is not what the British government wants to do, because it will provoke the dissatisfaction of other powers and countries and break the military strategic pattern of the whole of Asia.

You are the eldest brother, but the eldest brother does not do whatever he wants, otherwise why would the British always pull France?

The eldest brother pulls the second brother, and he can't go too far, this is the international rule of this era.

On the one hand, President Moe actively contacted other powers to support, and on the other hand, he actively carried out weapons production.

Too nervous.

There is no need to mobilize, British scientists, France, the United States, and a small number of German scientists are all working intensively, and they are mainly moved by the high treatment of President Moe, who has always been very generous to scientists.

Not only is he financially generous, President Meng also goes every day, although he is a three-year-old President Meng, but President Meng goes in person, and it also invisibly promotes the production and research and development of grenadiers.

Originally, in history, mortars in the future generally exceeded at least 6 kilograms, but the grenadier produced by President Meng's Hong Kong Arsenal was less than 3 kilograms, which was much lighter than the weight of a rifle, and was very suitable for individual carrying.

Due to its light weight, the grenadier group will not be able to fight with the front-line infantry in time, as the mortar group due to the heavy load - unable to fight with the front-line infantry in time.

In real combat, grenadier groups can even charge with the infantry. (To be continued.) )
