Chapter 162: The National Army is also reorganized

Some people questioned this, mainly because they were worried that the recoil of the 37mm gun would affect the stability of the aircraft, and even lead to flight accidents, but later Shiyan proved that the flight stability of the biplane was very good (the earliest 37mm gun on the Shijie was used on the biplane, but the later monoplane was not very effective after being installed). ), which can fully withstand the huge recoil of 37mm guns. Just in case, you can also add a fast and slow machine to the gun, and you can shoot a single shot in the level flight state, and you can fire in a burst in the dive state, because there is a falling momentum, and the recoil of the gun is insignificant. As for the Soviet-style monoplanes captured in Xinjiang, because they still use traditional fighting methods, there is no need to replace large-caliber aircraft guns

What many people did not expect was that only the caliber of the aircraft gun was enlarged by only 7mm, and the development process that had been stuck for a long time suddenly became smooth, and it took only a little more than a month to produce samples of acceptable quality, and mass production began in January of the following year

As everyone knows, Hu Weidong had presided over the design of a Shijie first-class 37mm anti-aircraft machine gun before the crossing, if it didn't need to make some detailed changes to be used as an aviation gun and tank gun, it would be no problem to start mass production in a month. It is precisely because of this that the 37mm anti-aircraft cannon produced at the same time as the 37mm aircraft gun surpassed the previous advanced level of shijie as soon as it was designed, and it became the strongest combination of shijie anti-aircraft guns during World War II in this time and space together with the 25mm anti-aircraft machine gun made by Hu Weidong a little later. Of course, the improvement of equipment conditions and the strengthening of the talent team are also important factors that cannot be ignored. If Hu Weidong hadn't gone abroad, the anti-aircraft guns with very high equipment conditions would not have been built at all.

In addition to the aircraft, Hu Weidong also designed an external 57mm six-tube rocket launcher for the aircraft, which can carry two or even four models with a larger load, such as bombers, and at least one with a smaller load. It can also hit tanks, and it is undoubtedly much safer to play with a rocket immediately after hitting it far away than dropping a bomb. This is of value to the 15th Army Flying Regiment, which is far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of both aircraft and pilots. In addition, with this baby. Fighter planes and even trainer planes can also take part in ground attacks, considering that the flight regiment of the 15 th Army currently has only 10 bombers, and with airborne rockets, the flight regiment's ground attack capability will be at least more than doubled. Of course, the high cost of rockets is still unavoidable, but due to the limited number of aircraft, the cost is still bearable

The affairs of the military industry department were complicated, and Hu Weidong was so busy that he didn't even have time to take care of the troops for a while, but fortunately, Su Yu had Su Yu in military work and Zhang Hao in political work. Even if he only does nothing in name, the 15 th Army and the Central Plains base area can still operate normally. However, Hu Weidong managed to make general arrangements for the military industry, but the central authorities suddenly ordered him to fly to Nanjing immediately to participate in the negotiations related to the reorganization of the Red Army into the National Revolutionary Army, because no one knew better than him what materials had to be purchased from outside the base areas. What are the priorities? And Hu Weidong's outstanding exploits in the Civil War and the War of Resistance in North China also had some deterrent effect on the Kuomintang, but no one expected that Hu Weidong did something that surprised everyone before talking about the main topic, and he actually suggested that it should be adapted together

"A fully staffed division in Japan is 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it may be further strengthened before the war. At most, there can even be 100,000 people, but the common people in China generally equate them with our division, and when they hear that one division of the Japanese army can defeat one or even several of our armies, it is easy to lose confidence in the war, and if the war of resistance is to be won, the confidence of the whole nation is very important. We can't get the Japanese to reduce the number of divisions and regiments, so we can only increase the number of our division-level troops, which should be at least about the same as the Japanese divisions, no, it's better to have more than the devils, after all, most of our troops have a big gap with the Japanese army," Hu Weidong said. …,

Hu Weidong's proposal is actually a kind of psychological warfare aimed at the characteristics of the devil's establishment, but Nanjing's old Jiang made a different interpretation of this, according to Hu Weidong's proposal, he can confidently expand his Central Army's descendant troops, even if the establishment remains unchanged, the strength can be doubled, or even more, and for the local warlords' troops, he can take the opportunity to abolish the understaffed number, and when the time comes, they will have to hate Hu Weidong and the Red Party, this is not his old Jiang's idea

As soon as Zhou Gong heard Hu Weidong say this, he felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately discovered the problem, knowing that this matter would somewhat worsen the relationship between the Red Party and the local powerful factions of the Kuomintang, and would be very unfavorable to the united front work. However, Hu Weidong's words have already been spoken, and if the Red Party makes any further negative statements, it will have a great negative impact on Hu Weidong's personal reputation and the credibility of the Red Party, so he only criticized and educated Hu Weidong in his personal capacity, reminding him that he must pay attention to his own identity and be cautious when speaking in public, especially at the negotiation table, but in public he strongly supported Hu Weidong's proposal in order to show outsiders the unity of the party.

In contrast, the Party Central Committee, which had just moved to Lanzhou recently, was more open to this, after all, Hu Weidong's proposal was also out of public interest, and the local powerful factions in this time and space were much weaker than the same period in history, among which some troops of the Sichuan Army and the old Northwest Army who were more affected by Hu Weidong's suggestion, even if they really held grudges, the Red Army, which was unprecedentedly powerful, was not afraid of them

Although Hu Weidong's seemingly abrupt suggestions may have caused some negative consequences that he did not expect, they played a real role in promoting the anti-Japanese reorganization of the Red Army. Originally, Lao Chiang had always been careful and refused to give the Red Army too much strength, but as soon as this proposal came out, while the Central Army benefited, the Red Army could also cram more troops into a smaller establishment, and the differences between the two sides in the negotiations were naturally much smaller.

In addition, Lao Chiang's attitude further softened after he found that even Germany urged him to negotiate with the Red Party as soon as possible, and remembered Hu Weidong's "help" this time and the idea of not killing Lao Chiang during the Xi'an Incident. The negotiators were instructed to make larger concessions, and the Red Party was also anxious to transport the large equipment that Hu Weidong had bought back into the Soviet area, and its attitude was not as tough as it was at the beginning of the negotiations. After the two sides made another concession, the negotiations suddenly became much easier (to be continued).
