Second, it will be later

June 7, 19o9 A.D., Anqing.

"It's incredible, such a heavy artillery is actually made ......by us in China," Captain Yang Lin excitedly touched the thick barrel in front of him, like stroking a lover's little hand.

Captain Yang Lin, a native of Hefei County, Luzhou Prefecture, Anhui Province, was not originally an officer of the People's Liberation Army, but a "liberation fighter". He followed his father in Hanyang, Hubei Province since he was a child, and was later admitted to the Hubei Military Academy to learn artillery, and after graduation, he served as an officer (company commander) of the Eighth Standard Third Battalion of the Eighth Town Artillery of the Hubei New Army.

After passing the cultural and skill assessment, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant and served as the deputy company commander of an artillery battalion. Because of his mastery of gunnery, he was promoted to captain in June last year and transferred to the 2nd Battalion of the newly formed 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade as an artillery company commander.

In terms of the understanding of artillery, the pLa of this plane completely inherits the original time and space genuine pLaR spoon "artillery doctrine", and the largest imaginary enemy of the Japanese Imperial 6th Army, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's understanding of artillery is more similar to the current German Imperial 6th Army and the Soviet Red Army in another time and space. The Chinese People's Liberation Army did not rely on sparse heavy weapons to win, but under the guidance of the simple military philosophy of "quantity is quality," concentrated a large number of heavy artillery and inflicted devastating blows on enemy fortified areas, heavy artillery, technical equipment, and effective forces.

For heavy artillery of more than 156 mm, the PLA adopts the form of heavy artillery brigades, which are used intensively (with the exception of a few siege artillery and fortress artillery), and are separately assigned to military-level units or temporarily strengthened to a certain aspect.

At this time, the heavy artillery unit of the PLA established a total of 4 heavy artillery brigades, each heavy artillery brigade contains 2 heavy artillery battalions (4 companies per battalion, equipped with a total of 16 "Type 196" 21o mm heavy howitzers), 2 heavy cannon battalions (4 companies per battalion, equipped with a total of 6 "Type 19o7" 156 mm cannons) and 2 heavy howitzer battalions (4 companies per battalion, equipped with a total of "Type 19o7" 156 mm howitzers), a total of 3 21o mm heavy howitzers, 3 156 mm cannons, 156 mm howitzers 48 guns, very powerful firepower.

The prototype of the Type 196 "21O" heavy howitzer was the American N115 Type 2 howitzer; The prototype of the Type 19O7 "156-mm cannon is the famous "Long-legged Tom", the American M9 156-mm cannon;" The prototype of the Type 19o7 "156 mm howitzer is the Soviet B1 Type 15 howitzer, that is, the Chinese Type 54 15 howitzer.

Yang Lin's artillery company is a heavy artillery company equipped with 21o mm heavy howitzers, and he has 1omm heavy guns under his command. This is something he didn't dare to think of before, when he was in the Hubei New Army, the largest gun he ever touched was only a 75mm Grusen field gun, more than 1oo mm was only seen in books, and at that time only 75mm guns could be produced in China, and the number of production was still very small. For example, from 19o7 to 196, there were only six seven-life half-barreled retreat mountain fast guns manufactured by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, so most of the guns equipped by the Qing army were imported.

Where is the current PLA, not only can it produce all artillery below 21omm, but the output is also very amazing. On several occasions, I have heard the leaders say that it is necessary to strengthen the training of artillery rookies, otherwise no one will use the good artillery.

"Hi, hello, Mr. Captain......" Yang Lin was thinking about it when a German greeting interrupted him.

Yang Lin turned around and looked, but it was the German "hanging boot ghost" who came with him this time, oh, it was the observer Major Hans. After the outbreak of the war between the CSD and Beiyang, several major powers sent observation missions, and the observation missions of the United States, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, the countries with the best relations with the CSO, were mainly sent to the PLA, while the observation missions of Britain, France, Japan, and Russia were mainly sent to the Beiyang side.

Because Yang Lin's German was relatively good, his superiors arranged for a German delegation to visit him and asked him to do some reception work. Ever since they had been in contact with him for a while with the German observers, these fellows had been running to him all the time, especially this artillery officer named Hans, who came every day.

"Hello, Mr. Major......" Yang Lin gave him a military salute.

The two saluted each other and began to talk.

Hans also touched the cannon, looked at the cannon with envy and said, "This is really an excellent cannon, and as far as I can see, it is quite good. Not only it, but several other types of artillery are also very good, and before coming to China, I couldn't believe that you had such excellent artillery. ”

This old German artilleryman couldn't help but compare this artillery with its domestic counterparts, and was suddenly a little ashamed. The similar guns in service in Germany now are the Type 1885 21omm heavy cannon and the Type 1894 21omm heavy shooting cannon, both of which are products of Krupp. But in any way, the performance is not comparable to the gun in front of you.

"Hehe, of course, we in China were the first countries to use artillery, and we had artillery as early as the Song Dynasty in the 2nd century......" Yang Lin puffed up his chest and said proudly. As for whether the "cannon" of the Song Dynasty is a real cannon, he doesn't care, anyway, it is written in the ancient book as a "cannon", and I am not an archaeologist, so I just treat it as a good thing, anyway, I can't be coerced in front of foreign devils

"It was only later that due to the invasion of the Manchurian barbarians, the technological exhibition of our country was interrupted, so we fell behind the world for a while. But now, under the leadership of Chairman Moon, we are back on our feet. China's science and technology, under the guidance of scientific socialist thought, have developed by leaps and bounds, such as the cannon you see now...... "Yang Lin almost blurted out, and his long-term political study made him almost casual about this kind of dialogue.

Hans also nodded: "Indeed, it must be admitted that Your Excellency Wen is a very great leader, and he has rejuvenated this ancient country in a short period of time......"

"Mr. Captain, is your army preparing for the unification of China in this operation?" asked Hans tentatively.

Yang Lin replied without leaking: "I don't know about this." This kind of big thing is not something I can know. I am just a company commander, and I only know how to obey the orders of my superiors, and we will fight wherever the superiors order us to fight. ”

"Oh......" asked Hans, "then, Mr. Captain, can I see your command post? I want to see how your calculators work, they are so good that the calculus is unbelievable." ”

The PLA's attitude toward these foreign observation groups seems to be generous, allowing them to look at them casually, but the pass privileges given to them are very low, and they can only be allowed to operate in non-secret areas. This made these foreign devils very depressed.

"No, it's a classified area, there are a lot of military secrets in it, you have to have the approval of your superiors to visit......" Yang Lin refused without thinking about it. What are you kidding, there are our advanced computers there, and they are high-tech equipment, so you can't show them to foreign devils.

He couldn't help but be a little irritable, these damn foreign devils are not honest one by one, and as soon as they come, they will ask everywhere, and they want to inquire about our secrets. I don't know what the superiors think, why they let them come, it's really unreasonable.

Hans chatted for a while, and tried many times, but was blocked by Yang Lin without leaking, and finally had to leave with regret.

"I can't believe that China's military technology is so good, and the performance of their use of those kinds of self-produced cannons actually exceeds our active artillery......" Hans reported to his superior, Colonel Todman, the lead officer of the mission, as soon as he returned to the Mission's station.

Colonel Todman nodded, "yes, I see. I also noticed that many of their weapons are more advanced, and their tactics are very innovative.

Hans continued, "Besides, Mr. Colonel, I see that their calculations are astonishing, at least ten times faster than ours. I guess they must have used a new computing device, otherwise it wouldn't have been that fast...... However, their population is very tight, and they really can't find out. ”

Another officer said: "I remember, I once saw their command post move a lot of boxes into it, as well as motors. ”

Toddman's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, did they change the computer to an electric one for use in the 6th Army......

"Indeed, if you switch to electric power, the degree is much faster than that of hand cranking. When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads again and again.

The computers at this time were all hand-cranked mechanical computers, so they all thought so. But in fact, the computer that the PLA is using now is beyond their imagination, and it is the second-generation electronic computer -- the transistor computer, which appeared six years ahead of schedule.

Originally, according to Wen Desi's idea, it was best to go directly to the fourth-generation computer, but the current manufacturing process could not stabilize the production of large-scale integrated circuits, so he had to retreat and use transistor computers first. Although in the eyes of Wen Desi, this kind of goods is lost, but in 19o9, it was a black technology.

Todman added: "China asked me to ask the South China government if it could sell us a batch of artillery. ”

"How do they answer?" asked Hans eagerly.

Todman said with a strange face: "They agreed, but they said that if there is less, they will not sell it, and each type of artillery will buy at least 2 regiments at a time" In the past, China bought artillery from Germany, but now it is reversed, and it is not sold if it is less, which makes him feel like he is taking turns in feng shui.

"Then they need to add ...... electric computers"

"Of course, we can buy 2 regiments of guns, but we must add the kind of electric computer they use......"

The U.S. observer group next door to them was talking about similar topics to them.

"Buy, must buy, these guns are too advanced," said the head of the American observer mission.
