Yang Mingzhi was finally discharged from the hospital. In the early morning of June 11, he was allowed to leave the special care unit where he had been lying in bed for many days.
Being forced to "take a vacation" for several days gave him more time to think, such as the future development strategy of the army and the historical direction of this war. Many intelligence realities and the historical development of this plane are more conducive to international counterattacks.
The Fascist Alliance seems to have a force helping the Allies, and luck is on the side of justice!
Finally discharged from the hospital! It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work!
He first went to the headquarters and handed over the work to Yevlov, which ended Yevlov's full agency. He continued to serve as the commander of the group army. Of course, in this position, he was mainly responsible for the overall strategy
, the operation of the army is still the work of Yevlov and others.
Seeing that during this year's long rainy period in early summer, there was no major trouble in the army, Yang Mingzhi was completely relieved and went directly to the arsenal.
The rain has been going on for a whole week, and the entire Pripet Swamp has turned into a real mud pond. According to the current survey, Catfish Village is the muddiest, while Blacksmith Village and Black Earth Village are in relatively good condition due to their high terrain.
The production of all handicraft workshops has been severely disrupted, especially some granaries, which are inevitably affected by moisture. Granaries store almost all potatoes. In the current warm and humid state, many potatoes have turned green and sprouted. Potato sprouting is not a bad thing, even
It is a beautiful thing, so that these sprouted potatoes can be planted directly, and in September, the more enlarged roots can be harvested!
Yang Mingzhi insisted on rushing to the arsenal. Of course, the first thing he wanted to do was to see with his own eyes the construction status of many radar equipment. Similarly, being in the muddy land and seeing the black mud on his boots, he had to worry: "What if the ammunition gets wet on a large scale?"
, how can we fight this battle?”
In the previous talks, Yang Mingzhi did not ask about the situation of the Liguschkov ammunition depot. This time he not only wanted to ask questions, but also wanted to take a look for himself!
Under the protection of the guards, he came to the arsenal lazily wearing a leather coat.
At this moment, there is no smoke coming from the chimney hidden in the red pine forest, and the roar of machines from all around indicates that the lathe shop is working. The source of power for these steam lathes is dry peat, and this poor fuel has the worst consequences.
There was too much black smoke. The chimneys were modified and connected to a pool. The entire pool bubbled like boiling, and the water in the pool slowly turned into ink. This is the so-called smoke removal treatment in the arsenal. A bird's-eye view from the air
, the aircraft naturally cannot see the billowing black smoke from the arsenal. This processing method does indeed reduce production efficiency.
Yang Mingzhi inspected it with interest. The arsenal was still producing, so the ammunition must be in very good condition.
The most important thing about this trip was to check the radar situation. He quietly came to Liguschkov's office, but the old boy was shocked.
"Ouch! It's Comrade Commander! You! Are you discharged from the hospital today?!"
Liguschkov quickly closed his notebook and stood up from his office chair.
"Okay, no need to be formal. You should know the reason why I'm here. Now take me to see the situation!"
"It's a radar problem! Let's go to the workshop right now!"
With that said, Liguschkov took action, and continued to mumble: "Radar! Radar! Comrade Commander, our antennas are manufactured quickly, and we also have ways to manufacture transformers, and..." He muttered a lot,
Yang Mingzhi spoke too fast and didn't know what it was, so he looked at the old guy with his hands behind his back, quickly changed his clothes, and stuffed some documents into his briefcase.
"Comrade Commander, we can set off now! I will explain everything to you!"
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Okay! But now I have slightly changed my mind."
"What?"
"The radar still needs to be looked at. Before that, I want to go to the ammunition depot and check it carefully. You should understand that if something happens to our large amount of ammunition, it will be a disaster!"
When it came to the ammunition depot, Liguschkov's expression suddenly changed. Yang Mingzhi guessed that there must be something wrong here.
"How about it? Let's go to the ammunition depot first."
"Ammunition depot?! This..."
"Stop dawdling, are you trying to say that some of the ammunition is damp? I didn't ask you this before."
"this……"
"Give me a pleasant word."
Liguschkov really didn't want to say much about this matter. After all, if word spread about the moisture in the ammunition depot, it would be a huge blow to morale! Besides, it was indeed the fault of poor supervision that this happened. Faced with the commander's aggressive questioning,
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, admitting: "Yes! The ammunition depot...the ammunition depot is indeed affected by moisture."
After hearing this result, Yang Mingzhi was very calm and sighed: "Sure enough, it is really difficult to keep the ammunition from getting wet in continuous rainy conditions!"
Hearing what the commander said, Liguschkov breathed a sigh of relief. Then he raised his head as if he had made a huge mistake and said: "I didn't want this to happen. This is the result. There are 10% of the ammunition."
There is moisture. These damp ammunition are almost all our recoilless artillery shells, and these damp ammunition can no longer be fired!"
"It's actually like this, let's go see it quickly!"
Yang Mingzhi did not expect that the shells of the recoilless rifle that were severely affected by moisture were actually!
At present, recoilless rifles are not only the flagship product of the arsenal, but also a critical weapon in the army. Each platoon must be equipped with a recoilless rifle. The weapon has a maximum range of two kilometers, a 70mm shell caliber, and a fully activated hybrid automatic weapon.
The Amato explosives of TNT and chemical fertilizers are very powerful and extremely maneuverable!
10% of this type of artillery shells are affected by moisture. What is the concept? 10% means more than 2,000 shells!
With a trace of worry, Yang Mingzhi, led by Liguschkov, came to the largest arms warehouse.
This is a wooden building in a semi-crypt. The pit is surrounded by a layer of cement, and a large number of wooden boxes are neatly stacked. These wooden boxes are made by the blacksmith village itself, and a large number of cannonballs are stored in them.
Nowadays, the whole world is wet, and so is the arsenal. Who could have expected that this continuous rain could last for a whole week?! Although there are some hygroscopic charcoals stored in the warehouse, their existence cannot completely eliminate moisture.
.
Under Liguschkov's arrangement, the workers brought several artillery shells and displayed them in front of Yang Mingzhi.
"Comrade Commander! These are damp shells! What a pity, even with the protection of a layer of contact fuses, the explosives inside are still damp! Not only that, these fuses are also damp!"
This statement was so terrifying that Yang Mingzhi asked in surprise: "From what you mean, it seems that not only 10% are affected by dampness."
"No! It's true that 10% of the ammunition is affected by moisture. I mean, 10% of all ammunition is affected by moisture."
"You! Are you playing word games with me!? Tell me, how much moisture does our recoilless rifle have?"
The commander was furious. After all, he was a lieutenant general. Although Liguschkov had a deep friendship with him, he did not dare to hide it now. Liguschkov had indeed done a trick on the numbers, and he was talking about the mass-produced wireless
The weight of recoil gun shells affected by moisture is an astonishing 30%!
This is a shocking statistic!
Yang Mingzhi's expression turned grim: "Tell me the specific data, it must be true! How much moisture does this shell absorb? In addition, how much moisture does the RPG warhead absorb?"
