Just kidding, if there really are a thousand red peony heavy artillery pieces, what are ten Japanese A-type divisions?
Total annihilation or not depends on a single thought.
What is the concept of a thousand red peony heavy cannons?
An artillery regiment is equipped with 24 artillery pieces, usually 75 mm caliber mountain field guns. If the Red Peony heavy artillery is installed according to the same artillery regiment organization, this means that the Eighth Route Army will have forty-one and a half artillery regiments!
A total of forty-one and a half heavy artillery regiments, in one word, set up their positions and bomb them for me.
Yu Hua didn't say anything after hearing this. He understood the boss's words, but it was difficult to do so.
If we want to achieve the target output of one thousand red peony heavy artillery pieces, it will take about four years if the industry in the base area does not suffer any interference or impact.
Increasing production capacity is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is a systematic project that requires the progress and complementarity of the entire industrial system to be achieved.
However, the biggest problem is that the enemy will not let you develop smoothly.
This ‘enemy’ is not just the Japanese invaders.
As time goes by, the changes and conditions in the base area will eventually be known to Nanjing. At that time, it is not difficult to guess Nanjing's reaction, including border friction, resource blockade, policy isolation, agent infiltration, stealing confidential technology, and secretly sabotaging factory equipment...
He was not stingy with his dirty tricks, and even dared to provide the Japanese army with the coordinates of important factories in the base area, using the hands of the Japanese invaders to destroy the industrial foundation of the base area.
This is not alarmist, but something that will actually happen.
Anyone with a little knowledge of history will understand the urinary nature of Brother Zhongzheng.
Can the industry in the base area have four years of stable development?
No.
Once the base area's ability to produce its own artillery is exposed, it will become the target of public criticism. If the electroslag resmelting furnace and oxygen top blowing steelmaking technology are exposed, it will be a disaster.
Looking at the excited leaders around him, Yu Hua remained quiet and did not elaborate on his thoughts. He had done everything he could. He could just wait quietly for what the future holds.
In any case, compared with the original history, today's Eighth Route Army has made a qualitative leap in weapons, equipment and the quality of its soldiers. Even if the industry in the base area has suffered a devastating blow and once again lost the ability to independently manufacture heavy artillery, it is still better than any time in the past.
After all, in this era, complete confidentiality is desired...
Not realistic.
Yu Hua only has one hope, that the electroslag remelting furnace and oxygen top blowing steelmaking technology will not leak out, that's all.
The prototype gun test continued. After completing the regular shooting test, Yu Hua issued an order for the prototype gun to undergo continuous shooting tests.
The continuous firing test is used to test the reliability and stability of the artillery, and evaluate whether it meets the design specifications based on the actual continuous firing performance.
The Red Peony Heavy Artillery requires the shells to be fired continuously for 10 minutes or 65 rounds under air-cooled conditions, and the barrel must not produce any physical deformation or scars.
As the order was issued, rhythmic gunshots resounded through the Nangou test site, spreading like ripples to the surrounding heaven and earth until they covered Yancheng.
The sound of gunfire can be concealed, but the unique roar of heavy artillery cannot be concealed.
…
"Teacher, the sound of cannons is the sound of cannons!" In the finishing workshop of the machinery manufacturing plant, Xu Jun heard the sound of cannons in the distance and shouted excitedly.
"Um?"
Zhuang Qianding was slightly confused. He stopped the machine and listened carefully to the loud sound of cannon coming from the west of Yancheng. When he heard the unique sound that was completely different from the Qiwu Mountain cannon, a smile finally appeared on his tired face.
Yu Hua did not disappoint him.
"Xu Jun, you do the work, I'm going to rest." Zhuang Qianding did not continue to hold on, stopped what he was doing, and walked towards the rest room.
The cannon went off, and the heavy cannon that he had been longing for finally sounded. Now, he could finally sleep peacefully.
Zhuang Qianding was full of expectations and could not help but imagine the scene of the red peony heavy artillery cluster firing at the Japanese army.
Hundreds of artillery fire were fired, and the blood of the Japanese was used to pay homage to the innocent people who died and the Chinese heroes.
"Yes!" Xu Jun beside him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He silently watched Zhuang Qianding's leaving figure, his eyes slightly moist, took a deep breath, his face was serious and calm, and stood at the operating position to start processing the second stick.
Heavy gun barrel.
The soldiers on the front lines fought bravely to kill the enemy, and they in the factories behind the scenes also had to work hard to make weapons.
This is the mission and responsibility of military workers.
Big cave dwelling.
"The sound of this artillery is really earth-shattering. I like this heavy artillery. It sounds powerful and powerful." Mr. Li, who had left the arsenal due to urgent matters, couldn't help but stand up when he heard the sound of artillery in the distance.
, with a kind and comfortable smile on his face, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and said to the elegant man beside him: "105 mm caliber, with a range of 14 kilometers, a true cannon."
"I can hear the sound of gunfire from such a distance. I can't imagine how shocking it is over there at the Nangou test site." The elegant man listened carefully and sighed in his heart: "I never thought that one day our base area would be able to produce our own products.
Large-caliber artillery, even now listening to the sound of the cannon, it already feels unreal in my heart, like a dream."
"With the success of this red peony heavy artillery, I think the establishment of the headquarters artillery force can be put on the agenda. Not long ago, Comrade Zhu Rui submitted a report, the general content of which was to establish an experimental force with reference to the Soviet artillery establishment.
Motorized Artillery Regiment." Mr. Li took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.
The elegant man fell into thinking: "Soviet-made motorized artillery regiment?"
"According to Zhu Rui's proposal, this artillery regiment fully uses Red Star III tractors as mobile vehicles to realize motorized combat. It has three artillery battalions, each artillery battalion is equipped with 12 105mm howitzers, a total of 36, one
The artillery is equipped with two tractors, for a total of seventy-two tractors."
Mr. Li smiled and gave the organizational structure of the motorized artillery regiment proposed by Zhu Rui: "If the actual combat effect is excellent, it can be used as a basis to expand into an independent artillery brigade or even an independent artillery division."
As everyone knows, firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the financial situation of the base area cannot afford to support such a luxurious artillery unit.
Luxurious, yes, he could only describe it with this word.
An artillery regiment is equipped with thirty-six 105mm heavy guns, and each gun is equipped with two Red Star tractors to meet the fully motorized standard. For the vast majority of the Eighth Route Army who still wear cloth shoes and single clothes, such an artillery regiment can only be described as luxurious.
I simply can’t afford it!
"This is what I think. This artillery regiment is going to be built. The number of tractors will be cut in half, and one gun will be equipped with one tractor. After all, it is impossible for field heavy artillery to be driven by mules and horses, so it will be semi-motorized." Mr. Li
He exhaled white smoke and expressed his thoughts: "The economy is indeed a bit tight now, but you can still get it if you bite the bullet. I have asked, and a 105 heavy cannon costs one thousand and fifty oceans."
The elegant man was suddenly startled and his mouth went dry: "The cost was only fifteen hundred oceans?"
Being extremely sensitive to economic figures, he instantly understood what the artillery cost data meant.
According to the current market conditions, it is no problem to resell a 105 mm caliber heavy gun for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and the profit can be as high as dozens of times.
He originally thought that the Red Peony Cannon would cost at least tens of thousands of oceans, but only now did he know that the cost of one cannon was only fifteen hundred oceans.
this……
"It's absolutely true." Mr. Li nodded affirmatively.
"In that case..." The elegant man quickly ran through the financial bills in his mind, silently calculated how much money he had left in his pocket, and his eyes showed his interest: "This semi-motorized artillery regiment seems to be really possible."
"Then it's decided, artillery is good. Only with decent artillery can we be qualified and capable of fighting a big victory." Mr. Li smiled, looking at the distant horizon with his eyes deep in his eyes.
Inexplicable colors.
The elegant man nodded, changed the subject, and said seriously: "The formation of this artillery regiment must be accelerated. I think we are not the only ones who heard the sound of cannons today. In up to three days, there will be news that northern Shaanxi is suspected of having large-caliber artillery.
It will be placed on someone’s desk.”
"The matter of building artillery cannot be hidden from Comrade Chairman. Just like the Yumen Oilfield, it can be delayed as long as it takes. If you really can't hide it, then you can claim to use electric furnaces to make steel to imitate the artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army and hide the true situation.
May delay."
Mr. Li gave his own opinion, and then said with a serious face: "However, information about electroslag remelting and oxygen steelmaking technology must be strictly blocked. This is what Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang Qianding have repeatedly explained. Information should be blocked externally and not publicized internally.
Then we use electric furnace steelmaking and home-made blast furnace steelmaking to cover up people’s eyes.”
The sound of large-caliber artillery firing is extraordinary. It is almost impossible to maintain complete confidentiality in a small place like Yancheng. However, due to the high confidentiality of the Red Peony Howitzer project, the spies hidden inside Yancheng cannot know all the situations.
And this gave us the opportunity to delay.
If you can hide it, hide it; if you can't, cheat it; if you can't cheat it, cheat it; if you can't cheat it, fake it to show weakness.
There are indeed large-caliber artillery, but as long as those spies have not entered the arsenal, it is impossible to know that these large-caliber artillery are independently produced in the base area.
If the Chairman cannot figure out the specific situation, he will not act rashly. As for knowing the specific situation later...
Let’s wait until we know later.
What the base area needs most is time. The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for the base area.
You know, one heavy cannon and a hundred heavy cannons are completely different concepts.
"I see."
The elegant man nodded.
"Today I have a long tassel in my hand, just waiting to tie the black dragon." Mr. Li took a puff of cigarette, put one hand on his hip, looked at the sunset in the distance, and smiled.
In Yancheng, the roaring sound of artillery from the Nangou test site was heard continuously. At first, the residents in the city thought something big had happened, but when they saw the orderly patrols on the streets, they immediately calmed down and became curious, asking about the artillery.
What is the situation at the source of the sound and what happens?
A hawker carried a load of dried beans and walked silently through the streets, listening carefully and recording key information. When he came to a crossroads and saw an oncoming patrol, he shouted loudly: "Come on!
Authentic Ganquan dried tofu…”
There was something wrong with the sound of this artillery. It was not the sound of Qiwu mountain artillery or field artillery, but at least a heavy artillery with a caliber of 100 mm or higher.
Tubal Road's heavy artillery...
I haven't heard of any fighting with the other side recently, so it couldn't have been captured.
If it wasn't captured, could it be that he made it himself?
Tubalu's own heavy artillery?
The combination of a series of information led to this extremely absurd conclusion, and the vendor himself subconsciously wanted to laugh.
