Chapter 887: Yin Mountain Visit
The huge orders and production caused by anti-aircraft machine guns have been popularized, and even because of the war in Europe, Germany's request for help and anti-aircraft machine guns, the changes caused by the income are still developing in depth, after adjusting all the production, all the generals of the army and navy above the lieutenant general, plus a part of the high-powered heads of government in the northwest, were invited to the Yinshan base, and a unique display began.
The Yinshan base, in a sense, is the largest and most tightly knit base in the whole of China, and even in the northwest, even in the most relaxed time, there are 3 divisions of regular troops stationed around him, and at the most time it even reaches 200,000 troops.
Rao is like this, the northwest is still specially for this base, set up a brigade-level special security force, this unit's individual combat capability, far above the ordinary troops, second only to the special forces, the most important thing is that this unit is good at protection, internal defense is carried out by this unit, and even this unit does not belong to the military department, he is only one of the three special forces belonging to Yang Yuanzhao, the other is the special operations division and the military intelligence bureau special forces.
At present, with the great expansion of the troops in the northwest, the number of troops has reached about 2 million, and most of the first-class divisions are major generals as the chief officers, and the second-class divisions are generally brigadier generals, and the army level is basically a lieutenant general, plus the functional departments of the Central Military Commission, plus the navy and some air forces, the number of officers above the lieutenant general level is almost more than 50, although not all of them have arrived, but they have already arrived, more than ninety percent. Together with a dozen or so heads of government, a total of more than 60 people, each took five buses. Head to the Yinshan base.
This bus is also one of the newest products in the Northwest. After concentrating some of the knowledge of later generations, the chassis was strengthened. After anti-collision, lightning protection and bulletproof protection, this bus in this era, even more fierce than the protection of armored vehicles, looks similar to an ordinary bus, but its weight has reached about 19 tons, which is almost the weight of a tank, all kinds of cutting-edge things, solid bulletproof tires. High-grade armor, explosion-proof and mine-resistant chassis, bulletproof glass and much more.
Yinshan base, as one of the most core bases in the northwest, only Feng Yuxiang, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and a few other people know, they understand, but they don't know what the Yinshan base has. I just know that this is a state-of-the-art base, and Cai Ye is still far away in Shandong, fighting against Japan. After entering a stalemate, the Japanese army did not have much threat for the time being, but as the main general. He had to sit in the town, but a few of his lieutenant generals would come back to visit. It can also be regarded as a link between the previous and the next, and they will take the things and spirits of the visit. Convey it to Cai Ye to know.
In every car, there is silence, some know, some don't know, such a large-scale formation, including Yang Yuanzhao, Jiang Baili, Feng Yuxiang, Liu Shu, these high-level military and political sides are all there, on the surface, it seems that it is a visit in the name of a visit, but everyone knows that this is a very special visit, in a sense, and even determines the fate of the entire Northwest Army, some people in later generations believe that the Yinshan Conference laid the foundation of the Northwest Army as the world's strongest army.
From Baotou to the nearest city of the railway at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and then go by bus, more than 30 kilometers away, the high-speed bus took more than 30 minutes, and it has been finished, but when entering the rugged hinterland of Yinshan, the speed slowed down.
The Yinshan base is built in a valley, and in a series of developments, even the mountains have been chiseled, forming a huge caves in the belly of the mountain, and the peripheral buildings are also one after another, plus the continuous increase of personnel and research projects in the entire base, and the level of protection is also an increase in geometric levels, so before entering the base, at least 12 checkpoints have passed through light and dark, although Yang Yuanzhao, Liu Shu, Feng Yuxiang, these high-level officials of both the military and the government are there, but the ID card, inspection certificate, and visit card must be checked one by one. I had to get out of the car every time, one-on-one, and even when I got to the inside, I even changed the car.
Although these generals and high-ranking officials are all high-ranking and powerful, but the three leaders are honestly following the inspection, and they can still get past them, but in their hearts, they are looking forward to this visit even more, what is there in this seemingly extremely large base. Entering the interior of the base, the high-level of the base had already been notified by Yang Yuanzhao and arranged the items to be visited, the first to appear was the anti-aircraft machine gun, which was shown to Germany before, at most a 20.5 mm machine gun, which was still the category of firearms, and this is a real machine gun.
Starting from 25 mm, all the way to 35 mm, there is even a 48 mm semi-finished product, the officers of the Air Force and the Air Force know very well, and they also understand that there are enough countermeasures for the aircraft, and the northwest also has enough countermeasures, and now the aircraft, the highest flight altitude, is only about 9000 meters, this altitude, it is already considered to be looking down on everything, but in the face of the 48 mm anti-aircraft gun, the limit of the range has exceeded 10,000 meters, at a height of 10,000 meters, the attack power is limited, However, it has a huge penetration effect on most simple materials, especially for unprotected aircraft.
Anti-aircraft guns are just a beginning, this is the simplest thing, next, 7 models of wheeled and tracked armored vehicles, 12 models, three types of light and heavy tanks, 4 heavy aircraft, these things that may only be heard of by some people, all placed in front of the generals of the army, navy and air force, they were slightly surprised, but more proud, originally thought that the northwest has been catching up with the footsteps of the world powers, but seriously, the northwest really has its own pride, In the area of weapons and equipment, it surpasses the whole world.
Yang Yuanzhao also began to admit frankly that he had made some mistakes in the past and hid some things too deeply, and now these are all finished products, so let these military high-level leaders discuss whether to equip the troops in batches and in batches, or to conduct joint exercises, and strive to increase the combat effectiveness of the northwest to a new level on the original basis, so as to achieve harmony and unity in combat effectiveness, rather than cobbling together the equipment of the troops.
Every newly acquired weapon has a special strategy and tactics, and it is easy to use it wrong if you join it rashly, Yang Yuanzhao is not a professional soldier, and some of his ideas will even be misleading, which need to be perfected by these generals.
The generals also know that in fact, when the war broke out in Europe, the current practice of the northwest, most of the military is looking at it, the constantly expanding army, and the constantly strengthening of equipment, all show that the northwest will definitely enter the war in the future, when and in what way, no one knows, but once the navy is established, and the northwest has its own fleet of capital ships, which can protect its own security, the war will naturally break out, and the direction is nothing more than a south and a north. Siberia in the north, vast and sparsely populated, is the best place for northwest expansion, and Southeast Asia in the south is rich in products and resources, and is a natural land.
Take the tank as an example, a 5-ton truck, the price is only about 1-15,000 yuan, but a 20-ton tank, the price is more than 90,000, as for the 50-ton heavy tank, the price is an astonishing 190,000, even if the northwest has a huge amount of wealth, it may not be able to withstand a large amount of equipment for these equipment, which requires funds, almost an astronomical amount.
Yang Yuanzhao asked them to come, just to let them know that the huge capacity of the Yinshan base is not a decision on the spot, and the military equipment of the whole of China in the future will continue to move forward after stopping these generals who are being discussed, or even arguing, and what is being shown at the moment is only a mature project that has been produced, and next, there are more conceptual projects.
Next, it is a more in-depth study, the first thing to visit is the sonar project, the prototype of sonar, in fact, appeared a few years ago, the British recently counterattacked the German submarine of the listener, in fact, it is also a part of sonar, Yang Yuanzhao does not understand the military role of sonar, but knows that the theory of sonar is based on the principle that the attenuation degree of sound waves in the water is very small, to create a principle of judging underwater items according to sound waves, with this, the rest of the problem is easy, in fact, the sonar of the northwest has long been used in civilian projects, Fishing projects for naval expansion, each with a nice sonar on it, can search for a certain size of fish underwater.
Of course, the military requirements are higher, and the northwest has provided enough reliable electron tubes for the sonar group, and even a small number of transistors, and the research on electronics has gradually deepened, which has promoted the development of sonar in reverse. At present, the most successful sonar in the Yinshan base can measure the depth of 1500 meters. For objects with a radius of more than 0.3 meters, it has a strong detection ability, and the most important thing is that the establishment of various sub-projects, the precise location of the underwater, the size, the number, and what speed to move, which are related to the very important direction of the submarine to be found, and also in it, with these, the sea water is no longer the protection of the submarine, and the depth charge, even the torpedo, can hit the target more accurately under the active guidance of sonar.
The sonar project has sparked a lot of discussion, especially the navy, but the next project is even more magical, the radar project, which is a radio-based positioning project, in principle, is based on wave reflection, etc., to accurately locate objects at a distance, in a military sense, it is more outstanding, and the discovery of submarines is at most to ensure the safety of the fleet, but the radar can capture and locate the trajectory of any activity in a certain area, which is militarily clairvoyant and downwind. With this, any sneak attack, ambush, or even the bottom of the kettle, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and so on, there will be nothing to hide, and even the role of reconnaissance aircraft will be greatly reduced, and such weapons will be incomparable for combat effectiveness, whether it is land or sea warfare, and it is too important.
