Chapter Eighty-Three: Tank or Airplane? New research options!
For the next half hour, Huang He's study was filled with voices discussing the situation at home and abroad. Even Grand Master Li would interject two sentences from time to time, but his views were a little radical.
However, Huang He and the brigade commander understood each other very well, after all, one of them was from Dabie Mountain, and the other was a high-ranking member of our army. With his bald head doing in that area of Dabie Mountain, who can not hate him.
"In my opinion, the little devils are already grasshoppers after the autumn, don't look at their teeth and claws now, according to my experience, they don't have much chance to jump."
"In the past, our Eighth Route Army was so poor, and we could fight back and forth with them. Now that we have a lot of French equipment, it won't be long before there will be cannons, and sooner or later these dogs will be pushed into the sea. ”
"Everyone here is the most important person in my Li Yunlong, I won't talk about the scene, sooner or later, our Eighth Route Army will have to fight with the bald head with real swords and guns."
After hearing this, both the brigade commander and Huang He turned their heads sideways, revealing a look of interest.
The two looked at Li Yunlong together, waiting for what he would say next.
It's a pity that Lao Li still lived up to the expectations of the two of them, many of the words just now were what Zhao Gang said before, and he had already finished saying the part of his understanding.
Looking at Grand Master Li, who was about to blush, the brigade commander shook his head with a smile, and then took out two more letters from the pocket of his shirt.
"Okay, you kid knows that I will already burn high incense when I learn. It doesn't matter if you can't say it now, keep up the good work in the future! ”
"You both come and look at these telegrams, which I have transcribed from the divisional headquarters. This time the news is very interesting, it is estimated that the bald head will be half angry after knowing it. ”
"We just talked about such a serious topic, let's relax now."
The contents of this telegram have no literary order, and there are no obscure words. At the level of Master Li's graduation from the Republic of China Primary School, he can read independently.
The first letter was sent directly to the rear by the commander of the First Theater on August 24 through the high-power radio, in order to inform them that the theater was preparing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the battle of 100 regiments.
"Cha Qiang has increased his troops one after another, trying to sweep North China and cut off international communications in my northwest.
The brothers and others dispatched a strong team, and attacked head-on to smash their conspiracy and poisonous schemes, and they were deeply admired. In addition to the swift action of all units to cooperate with your troops in the battle and complete the great plan of the elder brother to destroy the enemy, I hereby send a telegram."
The second letter was still sent by the commander of the 1st theater, but two days later, on August 26, and was sent directly to the commander-in-chief by name.
"When your troops launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, they not only dealt a fatal blow to the enemy, but also gave spiritual encouragement to the friendly troops.
In cooperation with your army, our unit began to attack the local stubborn enemy on the 26th. In addition to stepping up the action to contain it, I will respectfully recover."
After the end of the first phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, congratulatory messages were sent from people with heads and faces all over the country.
But there are not many people who sincerely congratulate the victory of the war, most of them are like bald heads, because of public opinion and righteousness, they have to congratulate, in fact, their hearts are as uncomfortable as eating dead flies.
There are even fewer generals who are willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, but the commander of the First Theater is one of them.
Since he joined the army, he has always implemented his original philosophy, that is, to protect his family and the country with all his might.
During his tenure in Henan Province, he had close contacts with the Eighth Route Army, and even set up a special office in the eastern capital. Every time the top of our army came to visit, this one would receive him warmly.
So much so that many people said that he had a tendency to turn left, and even Boss Dai had to come to the Eastern Capital in person to collect evidence of the so-called commander's betrayal of the preserved fruit.
In terms of military ability, this one is much stronger than the Holy Metro Bihu and the pig general Liu. He carefully set up a backwater array in Zhongtiao Mountain to defend the mother river and defend North China.
In the endless Nakajo Mountains, many fortifications were built using mountain rocks.
From the full-scale war in 37 to the present, it has been defended for four years. blocked several attacks by devils, so that Xiao Ri did not advance a bit, and almost let the enemy not touch northern Henan.
Some people even believe that the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line is the Maginot of the Republic of China.
"It's unlucky."
Moreover, this commander is well aware of the righteousness, and he is very repulsive to certain pig ratio policies of bald heads.
In the first half of this year, when friction experts asked him for help, he directly refused to give the order for help. And after the incident, he still issued salaries to the Eighth Route Army, and even kept in touch with the commander-in-chief to avoid friction.
After the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the First Theater responded in a timely manner.
The Central Army in southern Hebei and the area around Zhongtiao Mountain actively cooperated with the sabotage operations of the Eighth Route Army and successfully contained Yoshio Shinozuka's main division.
Since August 24th, they have been blocking the devil's reinforcements near Jincheng, and they have gained a lot for a while.
After the 26th, the first war zone even took the initiative to attack the strongholds near Jincheng and Boai. Not only did it destroy several major lines of communication, but it also cut off the supply of the devils.
Even though the scale and frequency of these battles were not as good as the three main forces of the Eighth Route Army, they still had a great impact on the devils, and they did not leave the battlefield until the 28th.
After reading these two letters, Huang He was full of emotion.
Compared with a large area of land occupied by devils, the bald man is more afraid of letting the Eighth Route Army take advantage. With this kind of strength, with the battle of the hundred regiments, even the five tiger generals have to be removed.
Li Yunlong also knows these doorways, although he lacks a good impression of any preserved general, but he still admires this kind of soldier who dares to fight.
"It is estimated that the commander of the first theater of operations will be replaced, and I don't know what the bald head is going to send to defend Zhongtiao Mountain."
"Lao Huang, it's good to have you, otherwise we wouldn't even have the "last bit of military salary". ”

After the chat, the three of them set off from the laboratory and headed to the new weapon-specific range of the Logistics Department.
On the second day of the production line, the MAS-38 submachine gun was produced by the comrades of the arsenal one after another, and everyone was full of expectations for this small one-man melee weapon.
Only half a day later, the military-industrial zone mastered the technological process of the Hatch Chase M1914 heavy machine gun. After all, everyone has a foundation of Type 92 heavy machine guns, and weapons of the same origin and origin are not unfamiliar.
When the three of them arrived at the shooting range, they saw several gun test shooters.
In order to ensure that the quality of every firearm issued to the army is qualified, this new profession was born at the suggestion of Huang He.
These testers are often gunsmiths in their thirties, whose main job is to test the quality of weapons by shooting.
With the efficiency with which the logistics department now produces bullets, there is no need to worry at all about running out of ammunition to use.
The requirements for doing this business are not low.
One needs to be physically strong and able to withstand the effects of continuous firing on the body.
Second, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of various types of firearms, so that we can put forward an improvement plan according to the characteristics of a certain weapon and strive to improve the quality of the weapon.
For example, the batch of MAS-36 produced by the Logistics Department some time ago. The gun testers drew 24 guns from them, each firing 5,000 rounds.
Not only through a sample of 120,000 rounds of ammunition, the reliability of the gun was tested. Targeted improvements are also made according to the conditions of jamming, jamming, non-drawing, hollowing, hammer spring cracking and handle cracking.
Under the guidance of the gun testers, the three came to a less crowded area. Hearing the gunfire one after another in the shooting range, Grand Master Li suddenly felt his blood boiling.
For him, the attraction of the new weapon is greater than that of marrying a wife, and the smell of gunpowder is far more powerful than the fragrance of a woman.
Looking at Li Yunlong, who was anxious, the brigade commander held his forehead and waved his hand helplessly, signaling him to hurry up and start not to suffocate.
After getting the approval, Lao Li walked to a free shooting position. He then opened the weapon case at his feet and pulled out a MAS-38 from it.
As a veteran who has crossed snow-capped mountains and walked through meadows, he is no stranger to hand-held machine guns.
The MAS-38, which weighs more than 800 mm in length and weighs less than 3 kilograms, is only 635 mm long.
Li Yunlong carefully looked at the submachine gun in his hand, exploring it gently as if he was caressing his little wife, his facial expression and eyes revealing strong interest and satisfaction.
Even the brigade commander on the side had glowing eyes, staring intently at the slightly worn MAS-38.
"Our Lao Li has opened his eyes today, and I completely understand why this thing is called a submachine gun."
"This thing can be abrupt, and it has an advantage over light machine guns in weight and size, so it's really suitable for commandos to use when charging."
It seemed that his brain had made up for the appearance of charging into battle with three guards, Grand Master Li showed his big white teeth, and couldn't stop being stupid.
At this moment, the gun test shooter more than ten meters away fired a shuttle shot.
Hearing this, Lao Li was itching, and immediately opened the ammunition box on the side and grabbed a handful of yellow-orange-orange bullets. He then picked up the magazines on the table and pressed the 7.65mm bullets into the magazines one by one.
In a matter of moments, all thirty-two rounds were reloaded, and they were inserted into the submachine gun with a click.
After getting ready, Li Yunlong carried the gun on his shoulder, and placed his right hand on his chest in the shape of a finger ready to be fired. Place the butt close to the shoulder, the muzzle slightly downward, and look ahead.
He put on a low-profile shot preparation look, and he had a good look.
"Brigade Commander, Lao Huang, I won't be polite to you, I'm ugly!"
After finishing speaking, Grand Master Li took a few steps forward with his gun.
Then take a short step forward with your left foot apart, straighten your right foot to lock the knee bend, and keep your weight forward.
With the butt pressed against the inside of the shoulder joint, hold the handle tightly with your right hand and press the butt against the inside of the shoulder joint. The head is tilted slightly to the right, and the right eye coincides with the line of sight.
As someone who has used the Jinzao Thomson and Flower Traps, Lao Li avoids beginner mistakes.
Instead of holding the magazine of the submachine gun directly with his left hand, which would make the muzzle pointing unstable, he stuck his index finger between the bottom plate of the magazine compartment and the barrel.
After making all the preparations before shooting, Li Yunlong pointed the muzzle of the gun at the humanoid target in front of him and pulled the trigger, but the firearm in his hand did not move at all.
This kind of embarrassing scene really made Lao Li anxious.
His right hand rested on the grip, and his left hand kept groping around the gun. Even the fill of the fast and slow machine was pulled several times, but the trigger still did not respond.
Li Yunlong looked at the two people behind him embarrassedly, and he stubbornly met the playful gaze of the Yellow River.
"Hehe, this isn't the first time we've used a new guy with no experience. Don't torture me, tell me how to use this gun. ”
In fact, Grand Master Li is not to blame for this, after all, in his inherent impression, there is a high probability that French weapons are not insured. And the insurance of MAS-38 is somewhat anti-human, and it is understandable that it will not be used for the first time.
Huang He walked over, took the submachine gun handed by the other party, and then pushed the trigger forward with his finger to close the safety.
He shifted his center of gravity slightly forward and placed the butt under his right armpit. The forearms of both hands are roughly at a 30-degree angle to the horizontal, and the right eye is on the same vertical plane as the line of sight of the submachine gun.
Da! ×32
As the bullets from the submachine gun were fired, the shell casings flew to the ground from the shell throwing window again and again, splashing wisps of dust.
After firing a shuttle of bullets, Huang He unloaded the magazine. took out an auxiliary loader from the ammunition box, and then said to Li Yunlong, "Fun, right?" Will you play, right? Haven't played it, have you? ”
No one could be indifferent in the face of these three consecutive taunts, and Lao Li snatched MAS-38 with a red face, and pushed the Yellow River away.
"What do you say! Go! Go! Go! ”
Da.
After firing a magazine in less than two seconds, Li Yunlong looked confused.
"Have you started?"
"It's over!"
After mastering the correct usage, Grand Master Li tried the waist, standing, lying and kneeling shooting positions respectively, and tested the full performance of this gun.
Even after firing four magazines, he was still a little unsatisfied, so he played with dual wielding.
Even because the proficiency in the new weapon was not yet very high, the small recoil of the MAS-38 barely affected the accuracy of fire.
In the end, even the brigade commander couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, kicked Li Yunlong away, hit a few magazines, and got over the addiction.
After test-firing a submachine gun, the trio approached a Hatch Chase M1914 heavy machine gun. After firing a few hundred rounds of ammunition, the brigade commander and Grand Master Li left the logistics department satisfied.
So far, Lao Li has not had the opportunity to say the sentence "What a good heavy machine gun, I can't bear it", and he will not have a chance in the future.
Even after fighting the devil fighter alone, he was not sad that the 92-style was destroyed in the fortifications, because now there is a comrade who can be trusted unconditionally.
————————
After returning to his lab, Huang He began to make plans for the coming year.
Based on the current production capacity of the logistics department, as long as it cooperates with the military factories in the system for another half a year, it can equip the whole army with French rifles, submachine guns, and light and heavy machine guns.
This production capacity even includes the fourth master's share.
There are two next options, one is to continue to develop the army, with trucks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks.
This line of development is very similar to that of our army at some point in the future.
However, there are all kinds of topography and landforms in the Republic of China, among which the terrain of Jin Province is relatively poor, and the roads are very bad, even if the light tank has limited space here.
In the future, it will be relatively better to hit big cities, after all, the road network is very developed, and any tank will do.
In addition to the fact that the reliability of tanks at this stage was far inferior to that after liberation, the Yellow River abandoned this option and retained only the need for transport vehicles.
The development goal for the coming year is the Air Force!
The training cycle of pilots can be much longer than that of tank crews, and in the absence of a certain number of good instructors, fighters need to spend a long time practicing driving.
Prepare now to pave the way for the future.
But whether it is a motorized unit or an air force, there is one thing that can never be bypassed, and that is oil!
Thinking of this, Huang He focused on the scientific research project that was being unlocked.
"Fuel Storage:
When the oil workers roar, the earth will tremble!
Storing large quantities of oil requires a complex set of vessels, pipes and valves to ensure both safety and ease of use
Duration of the study: 70 days
Effect: The system can produce oil storage tanks and transportation pipelines.
Fifteen oil extractors with a vocational skill level of first/senior technician are obtained every month."
Although this scientific research project is a bit strange, it seems to be unrelated. But it's "fuel refining", "petroleum processing" and "rubber processing" and cutting-edge technology.
Extend the oil field! I'm coming!
Another research option is the "Blund Mle 1937" 50mm mortar.
It's coming, it's coming!
Does Zhongtiao Mountain save people?
