After the meeting, the four bigwigs were still unsatisfied, and continued to discuss on the way to the staff headquarters hand in hand.

The infrastructure plan just proposed is only a big framework, and the specific details need to be supplemented by the collective wisdom of the staff to try to control the cost to the lowest range before the official implementation.

The three heroes of Dabie Mountain did not stay long at the headquarters, Zhang Wanhe said hello and drove directly back to the logistics department in the southeast of Shanxi.

The amount of tasks assigned to him by the bosses this time is not small, but fortunately, the support of the entire Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is extremely high, otherwise it will take a lot of time just to recruit enough workers.

Huang He and Li Yunlong left the Overseer's Mansion and walked northeast, heading straight for the Taiyuan Arsenal, the final destination of the trip.

"Lao Huang, why are you so axial now?"

"That arsenal doesn't have long legs and can't run, why do you have to go today?"

"In my opinion, let's hurry back to the garrison of the 1st Marine Regiment. Lao Zhao and Lao Xing have been very busy with work recently, and they may not have time to get together if they are late. ”

Recently, the parachute unit of the Eighth Route Army is being expanded, gradually developing towards the scale of brigade-level units.

The three chief officers of Li, Zhao and Xing have a clear division of labor, among which Lao Li stays at the base, mainly responsible for the daily training of new and old soldiers, and strives to improve the tactical literacy and coordination ability of teams at all levels.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo ran between the three major base areas and personally selected potential airborne troops.

When the two learned that Huang He was going to come to the base as a guest, they simply changed their original plan temporarily, but they still had to rush to the Jinchaji No. 1 Sub-district before eight o'clock this evening.

Looking at Lao Li, who was a little anxious, Huang He accelerated the pace of progress without saying a word.

"I used to be the deputy minister of the logistics department, and now I am the director in charge of the research and development of new weapons, so it is not very reasonable to care about the development of Shanxi's military industry."

"Besides, quite a few comrades from the arsenal have already seen me at the headquarters. If you don't go today, won't it be a dereliction of duty? ”

"What's more, I have to go to the field to investigate, and if the infrastructure and personnel quality there meet the requirements, I will give priority to placing the production line of new anti-aircraft guns in Taiyuan."

In terms of eloquence, ten Li Yunlong is not the opponent of the Yellow River.

His fellow countrymen listed the truths in an orderly manner, and Grand Master Li, who was a fully upgraded version of Rao, couldn't find a reason to refute it. And the anti-aircraft artillery just mentioned in the mouth of the Yellow River has already aroused his interest and diverted his attention.

In the past, when the 1st Marine Regiment was on duty, it was inconvenient to carry field air defense weapons most of the time.

After all, whether it is an air train transport plane or a Horsha glider, their carrying capacity is only enough to meet the needs of the infantry, and they have done their best just to send the soldiers to the battlefield, and there is really no spare energy to transport heavy weapons.

Take the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain as an example, if it weren't for the battlefield airdrop of Principal Chang, even if they could take the remnants of the fruit to block the fleeing devils, it is estimated that they would have to pay a certain price.

For the 1st Marine Regiment, every soldier is a precious treasure, and any sacrifice will make Li Yunlong feel distressed.

But now the situation has changed, and more advanced military transport aircraft and gliders are about to join the battle sequence. Thinking of the M22 cicada airborne tank, a bold idea arose in Li Yunlong's mind.

"A new anti-aircraft gun? The caliber of the tube must be larger than 25 mm, right? ”

"As is customary, our artillery comes from France. If I'm not mistaken, the caliber of the new weapon should be 37 mm. ”

"Lao Huang, see if you can dismantle the 37 gun on the cicada type and use its chassis to carry a medium anti-aircraft gun. According to what you meant before, is this called a medium self-propelled air defense vehicle? ”

Hearing the words of the Chinese air defense, Huang He's footsteps were stunned, and then he looked at Li Yunlong with surprised eyes.

Shibei was impressed in the third day, and Lao Li Xinqi's angle was indeed very interesting.

The feasibility of the idea of modifying self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with a light tank chassis is not low, and the specific details depend on the adaptability of the French gun to the ugly tank.

If it can really succeed, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Marine Regiment will soar again.

After all, an anti-aircraft vehicle that cannot be anti-tank is not easy to destroy, and who can refuse to flatten the anti-aircraft artillery.

"Well, the new medium anti-aircraft gun is indeed 37 mm."

"After the two production lines are completely implemented, I will personally take someone to study the plan you just proposed."

"Even if the weight of the air defense exceeds the limits of the Hamilcar glider, the average field unit will definitely be able to carry it. If this thing really happens, it will definitely be due to you Li Yunlong. ”

The cicada airborne tank, which itself has a certain potential for modification.

Because its engine is a variant of an aero engine, the power under the same weight can be called the small bully in the light tank. In its original history, it was even converted into an airborne tractor, which was specifically responsible for pulling the short-barreled 105 howitzer for paratroopers.

It also once carried 75 guns and appeared on the battlefield as self-propelled guns.

Also good is the new weapon Schneider 37-mm medium anti-aircraft gun, which has its full name 1936.

Although it is a weapon finalized in 1936, it is not at all inferior to the M1939 37-mm anti-aircraft gun of Maozi in terms of paper data.

Its theoretical rate of fire can reach 120~175 rounds per minute, and the combat rate of fire is also 85 rounds per minute.

The most valuable thing is that its total combat weight is only 1340 kg, which is more than 40% lighter than the weight of the M1939.

Light weight, but the maximum firing range and firing height have not been compromised, reaching 8500 meters and 6500 meters respectively, it can only be said that Schneider is worthy of being a well-deserved leading company in the French artillery industry.

It's a pity that with such a good weapon, France did not equip a few before surrendering.

At the last critical moment, the seven poor field air defense regiments were still using Hatch Kaiss 13.5 mm heavy machine guns, and 75 mm 32 guns.

In the face of Meyer's horrific bombardment, there was basically no ability to fight back.

Once the Cicada and Schneider 37mm anti-aircraft guns are successfully combined, it will definitely be an effect that one plus one is greater than two.

······

Ten minutes later, the two came to the gate of the Taiyuan Arsenal.

It's not too far from headquarters, and some offices even have secret tunnels leading to the Overseer's Palace.

At this time, the factory director was waiting under a gazebo, and when he saw Huang He and Li Yunlong appear, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Lao Huang, Lao Li, long time no see! Welcome to visit our arsenal, comrades have been looking forward to your inspection work! ”

"Come with me, let's go around the various factories and take a look at the existing weapons production lines."

"If you have any suggestions or opinions, be sure to bring them up in person. Everyone is an old acquaintance, so you don't have to save face for me. ”

In fact, many people don't know that even in the heyday of Yan Baichuan's rule in Shanxi, there were a number of hidden personnel of our army in the Taiyuan Arsenal.

The comrades were subordinate to the Northern Bureau, and as early as 1927 they infiltrated the arsenal to carry out clandestine activities.

Before the start of the all-out war of resistance, the vast majority of strikes were carried out under the leadership of the trade unions.

After the fall of Taiyuan, thousands of workers broke through the blockade lines set up by the devils with the enthusiasm of resisting Japan and saving the country. They threw themselves into the base areas without hesitation and became the backbone of the creation and development of the military industry.

These comrades can often be seen in the military industrial areas of the three main forces.

The current factory manager is also one of them, and he was previously in charge of the production line of Mas36 in the southeast base of Jinjin.

After the 129th Division regained Taiyuan, the bosses immediately recalled him urgently and asked him to take on the important task of integrating and rebuilding the arsenal.

"Lao Liu, if you say this, you will see the outside."

Huang He and the factory director are also old acquaintances, and after the two shook hands, they couldn't help but mention the past side by side with emotion.

"When I first came to the southeast of Shanxi to build a chemical factory, you helped me make up for the lack of manpower, otherwise smokeless gunpowder and two grenades would definitely not be able to catch up with the Cangyunling sweep."

"It's all your own comrades, just let everyone not be constrained to work normally."

"Okay!"

About two hours later, the trio finished their inspection of the entire Taiyuan Arsenal.

At present, all 18 factories have resumed production, and the main work is to be responsible for the production of various types of bullets, Mas36 rifles and Mas38 submachine guns.

On the whole, Huang He is still very satisfied with the factory configuration and personnel efficiency.

Before parting, he specially informed Director Liu that he needed to set aside a piece of land in advance to prepare the production line for receiving new weapons.

"Schneider 37mm Artillery: An anti-aircraft gun with stronger shells and barrels that can be used to target enemy aircraft flying at high altitudes.

Duration of the study: 70 days

Effect: The military factory in the system can produce medium anti-aircraft guns, and obtain the corresponding production lines and drawings."

When the Yellow River left the Taiyuan Arsenal, the awakening Yonghu system in his mind finally moved. After saying hello to Li Yunlong, he closed his eyes in the co-pilot's seat and looked at the new bonus.

First of all, of course, is the unlock of the artillery manufacturer, and the 15% production speed bonus has been officially activated.

The second is the increase in the number of factories, originally Huanghe thought that at most one military industry would be added, after all, the system did not give any prompts after coming to Taiyuan.

But I never expected that this time it was actually a small bumper harvest, and there were two military and five migrant workers in the account.

After calming down, Huang He still couldn't help his desire to complain.

To be honest, there are only seven factories in a single province, and they are more or less a bit of a decline.

No matter how Yan Baichuan has been operating in Shanxi for twenty-seven years, even if he is ransacked by the devils, it will not be a single-digit factory.

But after thinking about it carefully, the Yellow River was relieved, after all, in a game, the Jin Department started in 1936 with only one military industry and three civilian workers. By 1939, it was even more finished, and even the entire territory was taken over by mysterious forces.

Eight more factories can be regarded as an unexpected gain, and the disaster is greater than dissatisfaction.

Nowadays, there are 18 civilian workers and 24 military workers in the Awakening Yonghu system, and the overall number of factories has exceeded the number of bald heads.

The number of military industries is even close to that of Japan at the beginning of 1939.

The future is promising!

The Cicada should be able to carry a 37mm anti-aircraft gun
