Professor Yuan's work was fruitful, and with the arrival of a Chinese master, the heat treatment process of the barrel was easily solved. In the more than half a month since Li Guang left, the first cannon barrel has now been produced on the Stone Statue Island, which is a huge leap.

The gun factory has already begun to produce barrels in full force. However, the production cycle of gun barrels is quite long, and it is generally only a month to produce a batch of gun barrels - 12 guns. In the first batch of artillery, Li Guang did not dare to directly produce anti-aircraft guns, but first produced infantry guns with slightly lower technical difficulty.

For the current Marine Corps, there are only four infantry guns, and even training is not enough. Replenishment of infantry artillery is already a priority.

Now for the artillery factory, the task has long been filled. In addition to the earliest anti-aircraft guns and infantry guns, there are now five types of artillery that are being designed (copycats).

The first, the German-made double-linked anti-aircraft gun. The 76.2mm caliber is an imitation of the German 105 caliber anti-aircraft gun structure and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun structure. (Similar to the 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun 70% parts)

The second German-made 37mm twin-gun anti-aircraft gun, and a 37mm anti-aircraft gun. (The barrels of the two guns are the same, and fifty percent of the parts are common.) ）

The third, the German-made 20mm twin-link anti-aircraft gun.

The fourth paragraph is called the 92 infantry gun. This cannon was sent by Xu Zhan from the trophies to Burma and thus to the Stone Statue Island. According to Xu Zhan's description, this cannon is not advanced, but it is practical, especially in mountainous and hilly street battles. The whole gun is no more than 200 kilograms, the caliber is 70mm, and the effective firing range is 2200 meters. Moreover, this gun can be disassembled and transported, not only can it be transported by horses, but it can even rely on manpower for short-distance transfer, and the combination speed is extremely fast, which is extremely suitable for domestic battlefields. For Xu Zhan, the role of this cannon is even more powerful than that of mountain artillery, and it is quite powerful for this devil to use this cannon to shoot at close range. Xu Zhan strongly demanded imitation. Li Guang knows that this cannon has seen too much in movies and television, and the bayonet tactics on the cannon of this cannon are quite famous.

The fifth, a German-made 20mm cannon. (Ready to be retrofitted to the P40.) For the time being, an order has been placed to buy from the Germans. ）

Li Guang didn't dare to take it for granted, he knew that Xu Zhanken spent such a big price to send this seemingly backward infantry cannon, which definitely made sense, and the experience gained from blood and life was the most real. The most important thing is whether the weapon is advanced or not, it is suitable for the battlefield that is the first element. So now this infantry gun, on the contrary, is in second place in the production order. This cannon has a simple structure and a short barrel, which makes it not difficult to manufacture. It's just that the parts are ordered in the United States, and the time cycle will not be too short, and it is estimated that the finished product will be able to be produced in three or four months.

For Li Guang's fleet plan, several anti-aircraft guns were the most important. At present, both the gunboats and the torpedo boats have a common weakness, and their air defense capabilities are insufficient. Not only was the number of 88mm guns insufficient, but there was not even a single small-caliber gun for defense at low altitudes. For a battleship, this is a huge hole. Li Guang hopes to close this loophole as soon as possible. But production is not fiction, it all takes time.

This time, the Naval Resistance Army gained a lot from the German battleships, and a G7A torpedo brought a technological leap forward to the torpedo factory. Although there are differences in power methods, the guiding device and magnetic induction fuse have reference significance for the Maritime Resistance Force.

Technology, especially after hybridization, has tremendous vitality. This G7A torpedo has an incomparable role in the development of torpedo technology of the Naval Resistance Army. You must know that the torpedo technology of the Naval Resistance Army, although it is not the most advanced, is not backward at present, and after absorbing the essence of German torpedo technology, it will definitely climb to a new level again.

Li Guang had engaged in magnetic induction guidance at the beginning, but the result failed, and after studying the magnetic induction fuze adopted by Germany, he found that the problems he had encountered had not been completely solved by the Germans. Magnetic induction fuses are too susceptible to the external environment. The German torpedo can not only improve the surname of the naval anti-aircraft electric mine, but also provide a lot of reference for the thermodynamic torpedo being developed.

Everything that was received from the Germans was of immeasurable value, and it is no wonder that the Germans blew up the battleship quite thoroughly, and many electrical appliances were dismantled and burned at the cost of manpower. And what Li Guang got was only a small part of the technology on that battleship, and this small part benefited Li Guang and the naval resistance army a lot.

At present, we have a lot of technology and production staff, and we are constantly improving it. In particular, the submarine manufacturing dock is now equipped with enough elite soldiers, and the keel of the medium-sized submarine has begun to be laid. And this time Li Guang was very bold, and did not try to produce one first, but started construction of three submarines together. Even the submarine design team led by Lippmann continued to absorb the technology of German submarines in the manufacturing process, designing as they built. In Li Guang's plan, as soon as the three submarines were completed, the construction of the small submarine would begin immediately, so Lippmann's design team was very busy right now.

It wasn't until the 40s that Li Guang really got out of production and scientific research. But the burden on his body is not lighter, but heavier. The organization of an army is definitely not so easy.

The first change in the army in January 40 was that the Naval Resistance Army finally had real artillery instructors. Xu Zhan lived up to expectations and found an artillery instructor for Li Guang, and not one, a total of three. The leading instructor is still Li Guang's Luoyang fellow, Cheng Zhongying. Cheng Zhongying, now in Chinese New Year's Eve, had both legs blown off during the Battle of Wuhan. This person has a lot of research on artillery, studied in Yueben, once taught artillery tactics at the Chinese Army University, and after the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to the 10th Artillery Regiment, the most important heavy artillery unit of the Chinese army, as a major staff officer.

When it comes to the operation and tactics of heavy artillery, he is considered a master in the Chinese army, and after being wounded, he is physically disabled and has to recuperate in his hometown.

The other two artillery instructors, Zheng Qiangwu and Xu Qingwan, one from Anhui and the other from Hubei, were disabled on the battlefield. In the Battle of Wuhan, the navy used naval guns removed from warships to fight against warships, and Zheng Qiangwu was seriously injured in that battle, and one arm was completely cut off by shrapnel.

Xu Qingwan has a lot of research on mortars, and he was also injured on the battlefield, one eye has been blinded, his face is full of scars, and he has six or seven wounds on his body.

The domestic economy is extremely poor, and the meager pension of these three people cannot guarantee the life of the family at all, and the life is difficult. In addition, these people and the devil are already in a sea of blood, and after Xu Zhan came to the door to invite them, he agreed to come to the sea to resist the army without hesitation.

Now Li Guang has a lot of artillery on hand, and there is a serious shortage of artillery instructors. In order to take care of the lives of these three instructors, Li Guang specially assigned a nanny for each of them.

With these three people, the artillery training of the Marine Corps finally came to formalization. More than a dozen 152mm guns and six 122mm guns were immediately organized into twenty gun groups.

There was no shortage of mortars in the Navy, and there were 50 or 60 mortars on hand, and Li Guang knew that the more technical arms were trained, the slower they were, so he directly set up 60 mortar artillery groups.

For anti-aircraft artillery, the demand is the greatest in the navy, and ten artillery groups have been organized, but now only one anti-aircraft gun can be allocated for them to practice.

Infantry artillery has not yet been produced, and Li Guang has also arranged for fifty artillery crews.

In addition to these three instructors, Li Guang arranged for four platoon commanders with good artillery skills to serve as the military commanders of the troops.

The enthusiasm of these instructors and platoon commanders for the training immediately rose, and in Cheng Zhongying's words, Li Guang now has one-tenth of the heavy artillery in the Chinese army. He did not know that the pickup had now gone to the USSR again to purchase a 152mm cannon and, by the way, a production line for shells. When these cannons are in place, it is not only equivalent to one-tenth of the Chinese army, but may reach one-third. Of course, the 152mm cannon is powerful, but it is difficult to transport, and it may not be as good as the dozens of German-made 150 howitzers led by the Chinese army.

But the range is powerful, and if used properly, it can completely compensate for the shortcomings of bulkiness.

After the arrival of these three instructors, Li Guang's courage on his shoulders finally lightened a little, and the artillery construction finally had some eyebrows.

For the artillery of the Naval Resistance Army, there is a huge flaw, weak transport capacity. If it is in China, small-caliber artillery and mortars can be checked in by horses, but not to mention horses on Shixiang Island, not even a donkey can be found.

In Li Guang's plan, the most suitable means of transport for infantry artillery and mortars was the American jeep, but it was a pity that Li Guang inquired many times and learned that the jeep, which made a great name in World War II, had not yet been born. At present, in artillery training, both infantry guns and mortars rely on manpower to complete the operation. Six 122 howitzers, which have not yet been installed on tank turf, also rely on manpower. Only the transportation of the 152mm cannon was mechanized, using the tank turf as a trailer.

Li Guang's readjustment caused a strange phenomenon to emerge in the Naval Resistance Army. A total of 2,200 troops, 800 navy, 1,400 army. However, among the 1,400 men of the army, there were more than 1,100 artillery and armored troops. The infantry was just over two hundred men.

It was clear that there was a serious shortage of infantry troops, which could only be hoped for in the new recruits who were being trained.

There has been one of the biggest changes in the army of the Naval Resistance Army recently -- the establishment of the General Staff of the Naval Resistance Army.

This staff is strange enough, though. Except for Cheng Zhongying, a heavy artillery instructor, who was born in the military, all the others are technicians, and none of them have gone to military schools.

This can be regarded as Li Guang's initiative, and Li Guang also knows that there are many problems in the middle, but he is also helpless. Not to mention suitable officers, there are no officers, Li Guang can only continue to talk on paper, and carry forward the paper talk.

The staff officers Li Guang was looking for were all young people, and they were all technicians. Li Guang believes that military officers are trained, and these people have a good cultural foundation, all of them have graduated from universities, and some of them are still engineers, so they should be able to learn military affairs relatively quickly.

There are a total of 16 people in the staff for the time being, and Cheng Zhongying temporarily presides over the work and serves as the chief of staff. These young people have majors in architecture, geography, electronics, mechanics, communications, navigation, medicine, and chemical engineering.

As for how to pass the test, Li Guang's method of judging was to let those captured officers of the Navy and the officers of the Navy and Marine Corps with combat experience confront these staff officers for the exercise.

Even if these staff officers do not have a good understanding of military affairs, as long as they conduct a large number of exercises, they will naturally be able to find the best defense plan. Even so, Li Guang doesn't expect to make a perfect plan, but what if Li Guang has a magic way?

He himself was driven to the shelves to command the troops. But one thing is very important, as long as you do it, there will definitely be gains, and for the Maritime Resistance Army, it is growth. There are a lot of military textbooks collected from various countries on Shixiang Island, and under heavy pressure, Li Guang believes that these staff officers will gradually grow up. As far as the Naval Resistance Army is concerned, talking about troops on paper is also progress, and now the Naval Resistance Army can't even get together a staff officer who talks about troops on paper.

In fact, Li Guang didn't understand it, but he knew the terms, such as blitzkrieg, electronic warfare, three-dimensional warfare, great depth, encirclement and reinforcement, and so on. These things are very fragmentary, but when a group of staff officers with no experience in war are gnawing on books, they penetrate these things into their thinking.

Speaking of these naval prisoners, they are still the devils on the Tenryu light cruiser captured by the Baxia in the battle in the South China Sea last time. Zheng Xuechang's style was quite a gentleman of the British army, and when he returned to the sea, he did not abuse these prisoners except for strict supervision. However, these little devils were dedicated to the emperor's loyalty, and they searched for death and life several times, and finally annoyed the soldiers.

Since they wanted to serve their emperor so much, they had no choice but to fulfill them. More than a dozen diehards were thrown into the vast sea. After arriving at the Stone Statue Island, these devils were originally exhibited by Li Guang as a monkey in the zoo for half a month. They were then sent to the mountains to begin digging fortifications.

The task was heavy, and he didn't have enough to eat, and in less than a month, the little devil was tortured and lost his courage. On the ship, these devils did not have the guts to commit suicide, and now they quickly become animals who only want a bite to eat.

At this moment, Li Guang threw out a bait. If you can defeat the Naval Resistance Army in the exercise, you can get a pound of fish and meat compressed biscuits.

The hungry devils are immediately ready to move, but this kind of treatment can only be obtained by the devil officers. From these captives, it can be seen that the navy is strong. Several ensigns and lieutenants are all graduates of regular naval academies, and more than 40 devils can actually gather all the arms of a warship. In terms of the technical and tactical level of these devils, it was obviously higher than that of the anti-Japanese army at sea during the exercise.

The naval officers of the Naval Resistance Army headed by Zheng Xuechang, in fact, only Zheng Xuechang and Liezhong were considered regular navy, and they were successively defeated by these devils during the exercise, and for a period of time, Zheng Xuechang almost vomited blood in losing. The devil captives were actually triumphant about this, as if Ah Q was a spiritual victory.

Shameful and courageous, Zheng Xuechang is also a captain at this time, and the highest military rank of the opponent is also a captain.

If there are no instructors, take the enemy as an instructor. This is how Li Guang cultivated the navy.

The exercise method designed by Li Guang is closer to actual combat than the war games commonly used by generals. The confrontation between the two sides included all the troops on the battleship. Each class's ability to fight is judged by its actual ability.

This kind of confrontation has enabled the Naval Resistance Force to have a deeper understanding of the training, armament, and combat effectiveness of the Navy.

The devils are not all fools, they also know that this kind of exercise is to train for the naval resistance army, but the hungry stomach can't stand it, and under the self-anesthesia of Ah Q's spirit, he gradually enters the role. As the technical and tactical level of Zheng Xuechang and others improved, these devils began to play higher commanders and command more powerful fleets. Captain Nakamura Ii, who had taken the lead in the boycott, became obedient after a non-violent clean room confinement, and no longer dared to resist at all, and took a group of Japanese military prisoners to participate in the confrontation exercise conscientiously.

Li Guang saw the benefits from the prisoners of the devils, and the commanders of the naval resistance army began to pay attention to the capture of prisoners, especially the officers of the devils.
