Chapter 227 Rocket Artillery
Seeing Zhang Yunfei standing there, motionless and a little dazed, the two women immediately stopped splashing water, walked to Zhang Yunfei, and asked with concern: "Yunfei, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, don't worry about me." Zhang Yunfei, who came to his senses, immediately smiled...
Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was really fine, the two women felt a little relieved and were happy to talk and laugh with Zhang Yunfei. However, Zhang Yunfei suddenly thought of the rocket launcher, and his heart was already full of passion. He thought of returning to Datong earlier and sorted out the knowledge about the rocket launcher in his mind.
So, the three of them played for more than an hour, and they saw that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, so Zhang Yunfei said, "Yu Xin, Xiaoying, get in the car quickly, let's go back."
Zhang Yunfei, who returned to Datong, sorted out the knowledge in his mind, and specially found a book, wrote down some of the knowledge he had thought of, and drew a few sketches, and was busy until late at night.
Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying saw Zhang Yunfei concentrate and keep writing and painting in the room, but did not disturb Zhang Yunfei. At around 11 o'clock in the evening, they saw that Zhang Yunfei had not stopped yet, and they also thought about serving Zhang Yunfei with midnight snacks.
He was busy until almost one o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief. He had a general plan in his mind. Zhang Yunfei decided to produce the rocket launcher as soon as possible as a secret weapon, which would give the Japanese a surprise attack.
After finishing everything, Zhang Yunfei, who was lying on the bed, was still thinking about the rocket launcher.
Rocket launcher is a multi-engine launch device that launches rockets. The rockets it launches rely on the thrust of its own engine. The rocket launcher is fast in a fast firepower, has good surprise and has strong maneuverability. It can launch a large number of rockets in a very short time and launch a surprise attack on large-scale targets at long distances to annihilate, suppress live forces and technical weapons, and give the enemy a great spiritual shock.
At present, a large number of trucks have been produced in the base area. Zhang Yunfei is preparing to produce vehicle-mounted multi-barrel rocket launchers, which is best to produce 40 rocket launchers, but whether it is feasible. We will have to wait for relevant experts to be convened tomorrow for exchanges and demonstrations.
As for whether rocket launchers can be produced, Zhang Yunfei is not worried. The Soviet Union should have produced rocket launchers several years ago. According to the current technical strength of the base area, coupled with his own "guidance", Zhang Yunfei believes that it can be produced.
Since the rocket flies with the thrust of its own engine, the rocket launcher does not need a bulky gun body and bolt that can withstand huge pressure, nor does it have a recoil device. Therefore, as long as the rocket engine problem can be solved, it can produce the rocket launcher that Zhang Yunfei wants.
Rocket launchers can launch multiple joint and launch rockets with large ejector diameters. They have fast firing speed, strong firepower and good surprise, but have large projectiles, so they are mostly used to carry out area-firing strikes on targets.
If on the battlefield, dozens of rocket launchers suddenly appear, each launcher car carrying 30 or 40 rocket launchers. Dozens of launchers quickly enter the battlefield. All launchers fire all rockets within a few minutes, and then quickly exit the battlefield.
Thousands of rockets were fired in such a short time, and the Japanese would definitely not be able to react. They could not only quickly eliminate the Japanese on a large scale, but also shock the Japanese to a great extent.
Zhang Yunfei, who became more and more excited as he thought about it, lay in bed for a long time before falling asleep. Early the next morning, Zhang Yunfei walked towards the command center with great enthusiasm. When Zhang Yunfei reached the command center, the others had basically not come to work.
Zhang Yunfei took out the book about rocket launcher knowledge he recorded last night, and looked carefully on the table. While looking at it, he also took out a pen to supplement and improve it.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, came relatively early. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zhang Yunfei writing and painting attentively. He immediately came over with great interest, looked at it with interest, and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, what is this rocket launcher."
Zhang Yunfei had long discovered Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of staff who entered the office. Now when Comrade Zuo Qingquan asked, Zhang Yunfei also stopped and smiled and joked: "Chief of Staff Zuo, I dreamed of our god of craftsmen Lu Ban last night. Comrade Lu Ban taught me a weapon of war and a method of manufacturing rocket launchers. As soon as I woke up this morning, I couldn't wait to record what I dreamed of last night."
Comrade Zuo Qingquan laughed after hearing this, and knew that Zhang Yunfei was joking, but he said with great interest: "Commander-in-Chief, tell me what kind of weapon is this rocket launcher?"
As soon as Comrade Zuo Qingquan finished his words, Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, sounded outside the door, "Commander-in-Chief, what new weapons are you talking about, so I, Old Deng, will also open my eyes."
Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly, and then talked to Zuo Qingquan and Deng Wenping, "The new weapon I envisioned is called a rocket launcher. It is mainly driven by a rocket engine to fly forward. I expect the range to reach more than ten kilometers. The caliber of the rocket can be designed to range from 100 mm to 300 mm, and its power will not be smaller than that of a heavy artillery.
The characteristic of rocket launcher is that it can fire hundreds or thousands of rockets, or even thousands of rockets, and it can be launched in just one or two minutes, covering a large area and giving devastating blows to the enemy... "
Zhang Yunfei talked and patiently explained to everyone in detail. Everyone's eyes were lit up. Even Liu Dazhu and Fang Zheng who came in from behind were sitting next to him silently, listening to Zhang Yunfei's explanation excitedly. Everyone thought to themselves that if there were such a powerful weapon, the Japanese would be in trouble.
After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone was still immersed in excitement and joy. It took a long time to come back to their senses. Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of staff of the General Staff with great strategic vision, said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, the weapon you are talking about is so good. We will arrange for experts from the Weapons Research Institute to design it. How about getting the time to produce it?"
The people next to him also looked at Zhang Yunfei with anticipation. Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and immediately said: "Then I will notify the relevant experts immediately. An hour later, a meeting will be held in the command center's conference room."
There were nearly 100 experts from all aspects including weapons, machinery, vehicles, etc., and there were a total of nearly 100 people. In the conference room of the 36th Army, everyone was very happy to hear that the leader was going to issue new weapons development tasks to everyone.
Not long after everyone arrived, Zhang Yunfei and several senior executives of the 36th Group, surrounded by several commanders, strode into the conference room. Seeing Zhang Yunfei waiting for him, the conference room immediately burst into thunderous applause.
After Zhang Yunfei sat on the rostrum of the conference room, the applause gradually stopped. Zhang Yunfei looked around everyone and then said majestic: "Everyone stood up, everyone revisited the confidentiality regulations."
Seeing this, everyone stood up with a "brush" sound, with a serious and serious face. Under the guidance of a combat staff member, everyone read the confidentiality regulations one by one, and the long confidentiality regulations. It took everyone several minutes to finish reading.
The Confidentiality Regulations were formulated by Zhang Yunfei instructed the Command Center to make a confidentiality system on scientific research and middle and senior military leaders. Every confidentiality personnel must comply with it. If there is any violation, they will be punished in accordance with the regulations. If they commit the crime of leaking secrets, they will be executed on the spot in serious cases.
Today, because the development of rocket launchers is of great importance, confidentiality must be done well and the Japanese cannot know. Zhang Yunfei does not want friendly forces to know that after the development of rocket launchers is successful, it will be the killer weapon of the 36th Army.
After everyone reviewed the confidentiality regulations, Zhang Yunfei signaled everyone to sit down and said seriously: "Everyone has read the confidentiality regulations just now. I hope everyone will remember that they will not leak the content of today's meeting.
Today I will ask you to come to our 36th Army Command for a meeting. The main purpose is to develop a new weapon. The name of this weapon is called a rocket launcher. After it is successfully developed, it will be a powerful weapon for war. Everyone here will make an indelible contribution...."
Next, Zhang Yunfei introduced the uses, basic structure, principles, etc. of the rocket launcher in detail, and sent several sketches he temporarily to circulate. After listening to Zhang Yunfei's explanation, everyone seemed confident and secretly made up their minds to do their best to develop the rocket launcher mentioned by Commander-in-Chief Zhang as the fastest speed.
After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, he asked loudly: "Do you have the confidence to develop a rocket launcher that the troops urgently need?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Nearly a hundred experts below answered loudly.
Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Director Yu of the Weapons Research Institute is out of the line and come up to receive the development mission."
The Weapons Research Institute was a newly established research institute that integrated resources six months ago, specializing in the development of various weapons and equipment. There are hundreds of experts and technicians of various types, including most Chinese, many Jews and Europeans.
With the development of the Datong base area, Zhang Yunfei, who knew that science and technology were the primary productive forces, improved and refined the original Datong Academy of Sciences. In addition to the Academy of Sciences specializing in scientific research, several research institutes have been established. In addition to the Weapons and Equipment Research Institute just now, there are also the Institute of Mechanical Equipment Research Institute, the Institute of Manufacturing Technology Research Institute, the Institute of Medicine, the Institute of Silicate Research Institute, the Institute of Petroleum and Rubber Research Institute, etc. Recently, the Institute of Agricultural Research of two or three hundred people has been established.
The current Datong base has been basically improved after so long development, and various military-industrial enterprises are basically complete, and various civilian factories have been completed and put into production one after another. It can be said that the current Datong base (including Taiyuan) base is small, but it has all the internal organs.
The director of the Weapons Research Institute named by Zhang Yunfei, walked quickly to Zhang Yunfei with pride, saluted a solemn military salute, and respectfully took over the rocket launcher development mission with both hands.
