Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Yellow River = War Industrialist + Deputy Minister of Logistics

With sufficient materials, the laboratory in the logistics department began to operate around the clock.

In order to learn more new technologies, many technical backbones in the military industrial zone, including several responsible persons, almost live here, and as long as they have no work at hand, they will come to help.

Under the leadership of Wu Sixue, it took the comrades only a week to cast the first cannon barrel. Because of the size of the train axle, the caliber of the new gun was a full eight millimeters larger than that of the original product.

The weight of the shells also reached 4.5 kg, which was more than the weight of the 82-mm mortar high-explosive shells.

After the caliber was determined, the military industrial zone worked overtime to produce artillery shells in order to prevent delays in the time for test firing.

After lunch that day, all the managers of various areas of the logistics department came to visit the shooting range. Although only one component was developed and produced in-house, it was of great significance, and everyone did not want to miss this moment.

In order to test the practicality of this cannon on the battlefield, Huang He specially arranged for people to unload the cannon into a pile of parts.

In charge of this test launch was a director of the military-industrial complex.

It was really helpless to do such a thing as a technical soldier, because only these workers had more time in contact with infantry artillery, and at this time Huang He even missed Grand Master Li a little.

Looking at the dozens of comrades who were at a loss for what to do in front of him, the corners of Huang He's mouth twitched helplessly.

"Director Liu, how do I feel that you can't assemble? Wasn't you quite fast when you demolished it? ”

In the face of the doubts of their own people, the workers became even more scrambling. Director Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some embarrassment:

"Isn't there a structural diagram there, and then Wu Lao is still commanding next to him. Besides, it's always easier to destroy than to build. ”

A full five minutes passed, and the improved infantry cannon was still not assembled, and Wu Sixue in the crowd knew that he had to stand up.

Originally, he wanted to give his apprentices some hands-on opportunities, although it seemed a little unsmooth, but practice makes perfect in everything.

But I can't wait any longer.

The midday sun is a little poisonous, and an old man with physical problems can't stand such a sun.

Wu Lao walked to the side of the improved infantry gun, and used his crutch to command Director Liu, who was full of chicken feathers, and the speed of assembly was much faster with the naked eye.

A Type 92 infantry gun, the devil's skilled artillery crew can be assembled in almost five minutes.

However, since the comrades in the military-industrial zone were getting started for the first time, it took them almost twenty-five minutes, but fortunately there was not an extra part.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, a weapon that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared in the open space of the shooting range.

Even after successfully passing the first hurdle, Director Liu was still a little nervous, and Huang He joked in order to let him relax:

"I take the liberty of asking, this first shot won't kill us all. If something happens to our people, the logistics department will be shut down. ”

To be able to reach the top level of the logistics department, in addition to the technology must be hard enough, the emotional intelligence must not be too low.

Director Liu obviously understood the meaning of the Yellow River, so he followed his words.

"Then you have to be careful, our troops are in poor condition, and the infantry artillery has captured very little. I'm a production director, not an artillery battalion commander. ”

"It's the first time I've used this thing, so I can't find anyone who can use it, so let me try it."

"Everyone should be careful, I can't afford to be responsible for something."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the comrades in charge of testing the artillery were noticeably more relaxed.

Artillery is not a firearm, and in this era, direct aiming may not be able to achieve 100% hits, and they are all area kills. Huang He pointed to the sandbag that was more than 1,000 meters away and said:

"See that area? Let's try the accuracy of this cannon first. After all, the rifling is hand-engraved, and no one knows what the situation is. ”

Director Liu covered the dazzling sunlight with his hand and looked in the direction of the other party's finger. Then he began to direct his comrades to push the cannon and mount it in a place he saw fit.

Then he squinted his eyes at the sandbags in the distance, and began to adjust the height of the cannon barrel according to Wu Sixue's teaching to them.

It seems that I feel a bit sloppy and the aim is not stable enough. Director Liu changed several positions to observe separately, and finally lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly.

After doing all this, he turned back to the crowd and said, "Comrades! I'm ready to fire! ”

Now it's not suitable to shake the wit, Huang He looked at the artillery crew in front of him and said seriously: "Pay attention to safety!" Try to give us a little Chinese-style shock. ”

"Good!"

Director Liu opened the reloader, pushed the shell from behind, and then closed the reload port and pulled it violently.

"Bang!"

After the tests of the first shots, there were no problems with the barrel, and there were not even any changes at all.

In the distance, a shell exploded.

Everyone immediately looked at the sandbags in the distance, the area had been blown up in a mess, and the bomb point was almost twenty meters away from the sandbags.

This result was something that no one expected, after all, the gun body had no experience to follow in the design place, and it was completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.

At this time, when he looked at the hero, he saw that Director Liu was already more than 20 meters away from the cannon. He forgot to cover his ears when he was firing the cannon just now, and now he looks a little dazed.

The people present hurriedly gathered around to check his status, and Director Liu suddenly happily pulled up the people around him and shouted:

"I made it! And we succeeded! Not only is this cannon fine! Even more powerful than the original! ”

"When I first fired the gun, it scared the hell out of me! It's all buzzing in my ears right now. ”

The success of this cannon was further evidenced by the subsequent shells, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

——————————

Another week later, the brigade commander personally came to the logistics department with the convoy. Recently, various regiment-level units have attacked one after another and captured quite a number of enemy weapons and equipment.

A large part of this is damaged and needs to be sent to the military industrial complex for repair. He is here today in person because of two things to do.

The first thing was to retrieve those two infantry guns.

When he learned that the two guns had been successfully repaired and had become more powerful after improvement, Rao couldn't help but laugh out loud with the experience of a brigade commander.

The second thing is to send a new letter of appointment to Huang He.

Since coming to the base area in August last year, the contributions made by the Yellow River have been seen by everyone. The large amount of materials he brought not only improved the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also promoted the development of the base areas.

Not to mention that there are so many scientists, engineers, and teachers who have come here because of his presence, and these people have now become the baby bumps in the rear.

Although the life of the base areas and troops is better now, at best they are barely out of poverty, which is difficult to reward the Yellow River materially.

However, considering that the other party is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, otherwise he would not choose to stick to the front line of danger.

Therefore, according to the unanimous decision of the head of the headquarters, Huang He was first promoted to deputy director of the logistics department, and then he was added when the conditions were good.

When the brigade commander arrived, he first got down to business, sent all the damaged weapons to the military industrial area, and then asked the transport team to pull away the two infantry guns.

After doing all this, he took Zhang Wanhe to the laboratory and found the Yellow River under the leadership of Wang Dexing.

"Yo! Brigade! Sit down, sit, sit, what's going on today? ”

The brigade commander with a smile on his aunt's face took out the new appointment letter of the Yellow River from his arms, saluted a military salute and said:

"Comrade Huang He, because of your outstanding performance, the headquarters has decided to appoint you as the deputy director of the logistics department. The original scope of work remains unchanged, and it is still to assist Zhang Wanhe in carrying out his work. ”

At this point, the system in my mind suddenly starts to become active.

Originally, there was no avatar of the interface, but a photo of the Yellow River suddenly appeared, and after concentrating, he also saw a line of introduction.

"War Industrialist: The Yellow River

Advisor Effect: +10% production rate for Naval Dockyard and Arsenal."

I'm not satisfied with the writing of this chapter, and I haven't written the protagonist for too long, and I'm unfamiliar with it
