On the last day of 1941, Yang Mingzhi spent his last days in the arsenal.
After the scrap metal arrived, the soldiers transported them all to the warehouse according to Liguschkov's instructions, including the two captured German cannons.
He knew the origin of these artillery pieces. As expected, the inside of the barrel was a mess, but part of the barrel was usable. He directly found the work studio that had stayed in the original design department, which is now called
Yang Mingzhi, who works in the "Pripyazi Arms Design Bureau", expressed his thoughts.
"Of course these artillery barrels cannot be used, but if we cut them off and smooth the rifling, they will become very good smoothbore cannons."
His words immediately attracted Yang Mingzhi's attention. Those heavy artillery and the medium-caliber artillery that had not been transported could all be used as waste according to Liguschkov's thinking.
In this era, artillery manufacturing has been completely industrialized and modernized. The barrel is the key to various artillery. It is made of dense alloy and has complex structure and technology in order to withstand the high temperature when the artillery shell is fired within a limited volume and mass.
High pressure, no doubt Germany's military technology is very superb.
They can make the barrel of the classic 88 cannon very thin, but it can still withstand the huge boring pressure. If this kind of artillery can be reused, it is reasonable to make it into a mountain cannon.
Yang Mingzhi immediately thought of the Battle of Nomonhan in which the Soviet army participated. He said: "Before this war, the Soviet Union fought with the Japanese in Mongolia at the Halaha River. That time, the Soviet army paid a huge price for victory.
Not small. During the battle, the Japanese used a lot of short-barreled artillery. Their structures were relatively simple, light in weight, and their range was about two to three kilometers. If Liguschkov, you have decided to waste the German gun barrels
Utilize it, just like we transformed a broken tank gun into a combat anti-aircraft gun. I suggest you imitate the Japanese Type 92 mountain gun."
"Type 92 mountain artillery? What is that?" Of course Liguschkov could not know very clearly about the war that took place in the Far East. He and the group of college students from the Communist Youth League who were present only knew that this war happened a few years ago.
Great war.
Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead. After all, these people knew very little about Japanese military equipment, unless they were professional war researchers. If they knew Japanese equipment well, it was because they knew the War of Resistance Against Japan too well.
The Type 92 Mountain Cannon was mastered by the Soviet Army. It is really a small cannon howitzer with high maneuverability in mobile combat. It is more powerful than a mortar no matter what. Not to mention that this kind of gun has been manufactured.
The horse pulled away and ran away.
"Okay, we can find a way to make some of these Japanese weapons. First of all, we must have the blueprints, and I will be responsible for taking care of this!" Yang Mingzhi said confidently, and this also explained that before, he and Li Gu
Shikov's research on building cannons now involves not only building pure cannons without recoil, but also some small howitzers.
Because of this decision, Yang Mingzhi had to become even busier.
For him, although he is busy, it is also fast. This is not only to produce weapons for the troops, but also to use his own design to equip this army with some equipment that other Soviet troops cannot equip.
There are many weapons that transcend the times. Originally, history was made up of many coincidences. Because of the interference of Yang Mingzhi’s little butterfly, the original history was that the German army first invented the rocket-propelled grenade, and then the Soviet army immediately developed its own. As a result, due to the quality
It was abandoned due to inferiority until the large-scale development after the war.
In the same way, after Yang Mingzhi explained the principle of anti-infantry jumping mines, the arsenal in Blacksmith Village immediately built them according to the instructions of cats and tigers, but the output was a scam.
So what else can be built? On this day, Yang Mingzhi thought a lot, and he also trusted his new subordinates. Lao Maozi also had a good imagination, so he was able to create a variety of black technologies in battle.
He and Yang Tao stayed in this office. The first task was to draw out the design drawings of the Japanese Type 92 mountain gun by relying on their own imagination. There was no other principle. This was a small barrel that could retract the cannon.
The caliber of the small howitzer is still used by the Japanese.
Just because of previous discussions with Liguschkov, since artillery shell casings are difficult to obtain, then artillery shell casings are not needed. Just use separate loading modes for the warhead and the gun, so the caliber issue is not a problem.
In order to design this new weapon, Yang Mingzhi worked late again, which really made Yang Tao worried. She still engaged in her own work, acting as a logistics worker to take care of the food and drink of her husband and his group of military workers.
Therefore, Yang Mingzhi, who was selflessly drawing, was suddenly disrupted by the tenderness of his life. Yang Tao placed a cup of black tea in front of her husband, "Brother, it's already ten o'clock in the evening, let's drink something and eat something."
"Really? It's so late?!" Yang Mingzhi rolled up his sleeves, and it was true as his wife said. "Time flies so fast! It will be 1942 in two hours!" He clapped his hands and greeted everyone: "
Comrades, please take a break for a while. Bessika is right, everyone is too selfless at work, only by taking a break can we work better."
Yang Mingzhi was halfway through the drawings. Drawing design drawings is not just a matter of drawing. He ordered that the work should end here and everyone should get off work. Due to the order, there was no need to stay up late today, although many people were still willing to continue working.
Gradually, this room became empty, and only Yang Mingzhi and Yang Tao remained here.
"Brother! Let's leave too. You see, they have all gone back to their dormitories to rest."
Yang Mingzhi did not leave his seat. He waved his hand: "Dear, come here."
"Um, Gaha?"
Yang Tao moved a chair and sat next to her husband. She never thought that she would just be hugged by him.
"Let's stay together like this and wait until 1942 arrives." Yang Mingzhi just kept hugging his wife, as if he could wait for the last two hours.
Yang Tao didn't know what was wrong with her husband, but she felt a little happy being hugged by him. She was a short woman, and compared to Lao Maozi, she was really just a child. Her husband was also very tall,
And trustworthy.
"It's been many days. I haven't had any military training, and I haven't had any medical training either." Yang Tao murmured.
"It doesn't matter, you and I are just waiting. The new year will come soon. When 1942 comes, it won't be too late for you to strengthen your training."
Yang Tao doesn't understand, what does 1942 say about the AD calendar, and why does her husband pay so much attention to it? Could it be that he has predicted that next year will be a crucial year for the war. Besides, it is celebrating the New Year, China's
The Spring Festival has not arrived yet! Nor has Christmas for the Soviets! The celebration must be at least seven days away.
She really didn't understand, but Yang Mingzhi knew very well. Some major events in history will not be changed beyond recognition because of the disturbance of time and space by a traveler. Some things are bound to happen.
On January 1, 1942, 26 countries including China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain signed the "United Nations Joint Declaration." From then on, the United Nations was formally established, and the Anti-Fascist International Alliance was also established. Originally, Japan did not declare war on the United States, which made the United States war against Japan.
Declaring war on Germany, this chain reaction caused the Republic of China government to formally declare war on Japan.
At this point, the anti-fascist alliance was established, and the "Atlantic Charter" was also established. The alliance between China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain, and France and other countries became an overall alliance. In Yang Mingzhi's previous speech to the soldiers, the so-called United States declared war on Germany, and the Soviet Union
To become an ally of the United States, the German army will fight on multiple fronts. The Soviet Union is not alone. This rhetoric is exciting, but it is somewhat subjective. More than 20 days ago, the United States declared war on Germany and Japan, and now it is declaring war on all fascist groups.
The international anti-fascist line will be fully established on a new day. All member countries will jointly defeat the fascist aggression of Germany, Japan and Italy. They will not accept the unconditional surrender of the aggressor country and will never negotiate a separate peace with the enemy country until the enemy is completely defeated.
This is truly God's blessing for China. It has encountered unprecedented changes since the Qing Dynasty. It is now a critical moment for the life and death of the nation and the country. But justice has finally arrived, and Japan will also be attacked from both sides and ultimately defeated.
Yang Mingzhi is looking forward to tomorrow, so he and his wife will stay together for the last two hours until the time reaches midnight.
At this time, Yang Mingzhi stood up and supported his dozing wife. "Let's go! Welcome to 1942, my dear, you are eighteen years old now and an adult. Let's go home."
"
Star Tao was actually asleep. When she was woken up, she was really confused. She pulled her husband's arm out of the room with her sleepy eyes. She heard her husband's words "You are already eighteen years old" in confusion and couldn't help but
I cheer up. For some reason, my husband keeps claiming that a girl is an adult when she turns eighteen, and that’s fine, as long as he is happy. But now that she is eighteen and has become an adult, shouldn’t she have to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife?
She just thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but get excited, and her fatigue was reduced a lot. Could it be that her husband was waiting like some kind of ritual just for her to be eighteen years old? In order to become husband and wife at the right time.
Things?
But the fact is that she was overthinking it. When she returned to the dormitory, Yang Tao ended up wearing only her underwear, even one leg was hanging down and rubbing against her husband, making her whole body feel tender, but her husband was indifferent.
"Silly girl, stop making trouble and sleep well!" Yang Mingzhi didn't think too much. He had a very fulfilling day, so his energy consumption was also very serious, and he almost fell asleep in bed.
In this case, Star Tao calmed down and continued to rest after extinguishing the oil lamp. (To be continued.)u
