The officers and men of the Jiaolong task force were all on vacation, and the logistics staff began to replenish the fuel and recharge and torpedo the fifty XXI submarines. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Zhang Xinghan encouraged them, he and Jiang Baili took a plane back to Jilin City.

In order to maintain the mystery of the Jiaolong task force, Zhang Xinghan did not inform the Northeast Times of this brilliant result.

Therefore, on the territory of the Northeast Frontier Army, everything is calm as ever, and everything is as usual.

After staying in Jilin for two days, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Jiang Baili, came to Harbin, and then began to inspect and express condolences to the garrison troops in the North Manchurian region, especially the garrison units on the border line.

A few days later, Zhang Xinghan and his entourage took a train from Jiamusi to the Jixi area, which borders the Soviet Union and houses two heavy artillery regiments and two infantry regiments.

Coming to the position of the artillery regiment and inspecting it, Gao Chu reported and explained from time to time: "General seat, these are the two artillery regiments adapted from the first part of our 5th Artillery Brigade.

Inferior artillery units were deployed in all major areas along the border. ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this, and asked casually: "Have we had any major conflicts with Lao Maozi recently?" ”

Gao Chu hurriedly replied: "There are no major military conflicts, both sides are trying their best to restrain them, but small conflicts are constant.

Occasionally, we would engage in some artillery battles on both sides, and there were more cold guns on both sides. ”

"Oh? The result? Do we suffer? Zhang Xinghan asked.

Gao Chu shook his head lightly and frowned: "It's not a loss, but it's definitely not a advantage, Lao Maozi's 122 gun is much stronger than our 105mm gun, both in terms of power and range."

At the same time, they are also equipped with a considerable number of 155mm and 230mm large-caliber heavy guns. ”

"That's right." Zhang Xinghan looked around thoughtfully, took a few steps forward, and suddenly said, "It seems that we have to find a way to strengthen our artillery strength." ”

"The main seat means to expand the artillery unit?" Gao Chu asked puzzled.

Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said, "No, the scale of our artillery is not small. In such a small place as Jixi, it is quite a lot for one guy to deploy two heavy artillery regiments.

What we need now is to improve the performance of artillery, not the quantity, that is, the qualitative improvement. ”

"What does the general seat mean to equip the artillery units with new advanced artillery?" Gao Chu's eyes lit up.

"Well, I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible and replace our artillery units with more advanced and powerful artillery in order to increase the strength of our artillery units.

Ensure that there may be a conflict with Lao Maozi in the future in the artillery battle. Don't have the upper hand. Zhang Xinghan nodded to the east coast.

"That's great, when it comes to tanks and armored vehicles and planes, Lao Maozi is by no means our opponent now.

However, when it comes to artillery fire, there is still a considerable gap between us and the Soviet army, which believes in artillery.

After all, we are facing only one of their troops of the Far Eastern Military District, and not the entire Soviet army of the entire USSR. Gao Chu Dao.

"Lao Maozi's domestic situation is not very stable now, and Europe is currently turbulent, after suffering our two big losses, they are in a short period of time. Without the right opportunity, I don't think it would be possible to launch a large-scale offensive against us as we have in the past.

Perhaps, when the time is ripe, the opportunity comes. Lao Maozi will organize a large-scale attack that is far larger than the previous ones.

Whether this day will come or not, and when, we must be well prepared in case we are caught off guard when war strikes in the future. Zhang Xinghan said.

Gao Chu, Jiang Baili and the others nodded undeniably.

Two days later. A batch of new artillery pieces was transported to Jixi County through the railway line.

Jiang Baili had already returned to Youlin one step ahead and sat at the headquarters of the General Headquarters, and Zhang Xinghan was accompanied by Gao Junior and others. Next, the garrison in Manchuria and other places will continue to be inspected.

On the platform of the railway station in Jixi County, Gao Chu looked at the strange artillery pulled on the train, stepped forward to take a look, turned his head to look at Zhang Xinghan in confusion and asked: "General seat, what kind of artillery is this, why are there so many cannon tubes?" It's like an iron cannon barrel for an iron cannon. ”

Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "This is a multi-barreled self-propelled rocket launcher." ”

"Self-propelled rocket artillery?" Gao Chu was surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, it's a self-propelled bazooka, which has excellent maneuverability and cross-country ability." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Its official model is BM-13, which is a multi-orbital self-propelled rocket launcher. There are a total of 8 launch slides, a salvo can fire 16 rockets with a caliber of 132 mm, the maximum range is 8.5 kilometers, can be single, can also be partially fired, or a salvo, it takes about 5~10 minutes to load a salvo of ammunition, and a salvo only takes 7~10 seconds. The speed of the carrier is 90 kilometers per hour. The gun has fierce firepower and a large killing range, and is an effective weapon for destroying the enemy's dense forces in a large area, suppressing the enemy's firepower and destroying the enemy's fortifications. ”

"A caliber of 132mm? Sixteen rounds can be fired at the same time at one time?! The boss with Gao Chu's mouth open was surprised.

"Yes, how about it, such a large caliber is larger than our 105mm main model howitzer and Lao Maozi's 122 rocket launcher, right?" Zhang Xinghan said with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile.

"Big, absolutely big!" Gao Chu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "Especially its rate of fire, in less than ten seconds, a cannon fires 16 shells, how dense the firepower is."

One is equivalent to sixteen pieces of other artillery, and the rate of fire is also extremely amazing, if we can equip a battalion of this self-propelled rocket artillery, it will definitely have more power than our existing two 105mm howitzer regiments! ”

"Yes, it is a rocket artillery used to suppress the enemy with powerful fire from a massive salvo and kill the enemy's living force.

It is a big killer against large-scale enemy attacks and some simple fortifications.

As long as the troops of the Eastern Front defense line in North Manchuria can be equipped with more than 300 self-propelled rocket launchers, artillery firepower alone is enough to bombard all the old Maozi on the other side to the sky. Zhang Xinghan nodded.

"What does the general seat mean is that he intends to equip my troops on the Eastern Front with 300 rocket artillery?" Gao Chu was very excited, one is equivalent to 16 ordinary artillery, and 300 is equivalent to 4,800 artillery.

And the caliber of this gun has reached an astonishing 132mm.

Another good advantage is that it can be loaded by trucks, can quickly maneuver, can quickly support any location on the battlefield, and flexibly dodge possible enemy retaliatory strikes.

With 4,800 ultra-fast firing guns, plus the original artillery units of his own defensive unit and his own North Manchurian troops, the border line of the Eastern Front alone is almost equipped with seven or eight thousand artillery pieces of all sizes.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghan glanced at him angrily and said, "You think it's beautiful, do you know how expensive this artillery is?" Three months, a hundred doors a month! ”

It's not that Zhang Xinghan intended to do this, but the Katyusha rocket launcher, the XXI submarine, and the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber are all epoch-making products.

The price is very expensive, Zhang Xinghan's kill value is not much left, so he has to leave some preparations for a sudden war that may occur at any time, right?

Therefore, it is completely dependent on the killing value of the Jiaolong task force to annihilate a Japanese fleet this time in exchange for the production of this kind of Ka Qiusha rocket launcher in batches.

"Oh." Gao Chu was a little disappointed, but he was still overjoyed and said: "A hundred doors are a hundred doors, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat." ”

"I said Gao Chu, don't complain to Lao Tzu, this BM-13 rocket launcher is the first batch of troops in the Northeast Frontier Army, and the scorpion is the only one.

Other troops, even the 2nd Army, which was extremely strategically located, were not equipped.

Lao Tzu gave you absolute priority, just to help deal with the pressure of Lao Maozi's artillery fire that your side may face at any time. Zhang Xinghan shouted angrily.

Gao Chu immediately scratched his head and said with a smile: "Let's just say it, the head seat is still the best for us, who calls us the old subordinate of the head seat." ”

Seeing Zhang Xinghan raise his foot and want to kick himself, Gao Chu quickly changed the topic and asked: "By the way, General Seat, does this thing have a Chinese name, this is a number and Western Chinese, it's hard to remember, don't say it when you shout!" ”

"Yes, its Chinese name is Ka Qiusha rocket artillery." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Katyusha? Why is this name like a girl? "Gao Chu was a little surprised.

"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and let the troops unload, and when it's over, follow me to Manchuria and Hailar to inspect it.

The grasslands over there are all flat rivers, which are much easier to be broken through by the enemy than the eastern front, and the danger is greater. Zhang Xinghan waved his hand impatiently.

Gao Chu put away his smile and immediately stood up and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhang Xinghan stayed in Jixi for two more days to help the artillery unit study and learn how to use the Katyusha; although the artillery is different and the caliber is also different, the artillery is a thing that cannot be separated from its roots, and after two days, the officers and men of the artillery unit have been able to barely use it, and it can be regarded as basically mastered.

Anyway, there are artillery shells, so let them go to live-fire training as much as they want, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to practice.

After getting the Katyusha rocket, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Gao Chu and others, returned to Jiamusi by train, boarded a C-47 transport plane from the Jiamusi military airport, and flew directly to Hailar in the Hulunbuir steppe.

ps: The third change, tomorrow is going to practice driving, exam, if there is no update, it will be compensated for 15,000 the day after tomorrow, of course, I will try my best to make it updated. (To be continued......)
