The first artillery piece completely independently designed and produced by the arsenal has completed the experiment. In Yang Mingzhi’s view, this recoilless gun using black powder is not a weapon that is very suitable for modern warfare. Its biggest advantage is actually better than nothing. Based on
The current situation of the 284th Division really needs heavy weapons!
In terms of design, the caliber of the artillery made by imitating the Japanese Type 92 mountain gun is the same as this recoilless gun, which is 70 mm. For convenience, the shells of the two can be used in common.
In the foreseeable future, troops will be equipped with more heavy weapons.
All this is just a small beginning in Yang Mingzhi's view. In 1942, in the swamps of southern Belarus, the morale of the guerrilla war will be displayed. It will be a paradise for refugees and guerrilla fighters, and a place for resistance in occupied areas.
One of the important cores of the German movement.
In addition to manufacturing artillery, Yang Mingzhi also has more military plans. However, the steps are too big and it is easy to twist the hips. The road to military industry is better to be steady and steady.
News of the successful artillery test immediately reached Catfish Village. There, Yevlov had always had great trust in Yang Mingzhi. The artillery came off the production line and completed the test. Everything was within his expectations. But the good news was really
The news came, and he was extremely excited.
Just call in the artillery company commander Doronin immediately.
"I order you to lead people to the blacksmith village immediately and bring back the artillery." The order had just been issued, but Yevlov still felt that something was wrong. "Forget it, I will go with you, just tomorrow.
!I spent this Christmas there!”
Yevlov really wanted to see that recoilless gun. Experiments proved that it fully meets the needs of forest warfare. Its heroic appearance will definitely greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and even the enemy will face the astonishing artillery fire of the 284th Division in the future.
The next day, which was Christmas Eve in the Russian calendar, Yevlov had already made the decision to go to the blacksmith village in person. He temporarily handed over the military camp in Catfish Village to Fomin for management.
In this way, Fomin, a Ukrainian Jew and the deputy political commissar of the 284th Division, will have full authority to manage the military camp in the next few days.
Most of the army's troops were stationed here, and the group of captured Germans were also arranged to be heavily guarded here. Yevlov just happily patted his butt and left to see what Berekov had done.
Cannon Jelentina ran away a long time ago, and he is still the one to keep an eye on the messy matters during Christmas.
Fuming felt dizzy when he thought of this.
It is true that nothing major will happen these days, unless the group of prisoners starts a riot? No, as far as the current situation is concerned, the prisoners are still peaceful.
As for Catfish Village, even during the war years, the villagers were seizing the time to prepare for Christmas.
Christmas is originally a religious holiday. Since the Slavic people have accepted Orthodox Christianity for thousands of years, observing the time and traditions of Christmas has become a part of life. Even if the Soviet Union was established, Christmas is still Christmas, and the Soviet Union did not completely destroy Orthodox Christianity.
.With the popularization of education and the promotion of atheism, all previous religious rituals have disappeared, replaced by changing customs.
Just like a Chinese festival, Christmas in the Russian calendar is also a time for family reunions. On this day, people will have carnivals and have luxurious meals.
As for the military camp, the vast number of soldiers finally ushered in a happy moment after finishing the last day of labor in 1941 in the Russian calendar. Everyone had a good dinner, and everyone had fresh beef and mutton in this difficult environment.
.
In the past, during such festivals, the military camps of each army must hold some theatrical performances to entertain. However, the 284th Division had no such plan. During the war years, it seemed that there was no need to engage in cultural entertainment. The vast number of soldiers have been fighting, and there have always been a large number of
casualties.
The 284th Division originally had a strength of 15,000 men. After the brutal war, only more than 1,000 people survived and fled into the swamp. Now, after absorbing a wide variety of people who can fight, the force has increased to almost 8,000 men.
It is certain that the composition of the soldiers here is diverse. They must be elite soldiers who can withstand the most brutal German attack for six months on extremely complex battlefields!
Everything also proves the powerful combat effectiveness of the 284th Division after retreating into the swamp. A series of successful battles. According to incomplete statistics, the total casualties of all enemies (including the servants) may be as high as 20,000. This is five months.
Result!
Therefore, after finishing the meal, the soldiers in the canteen showed a sense of relaxation that they had not seen for a long time. The tension of war that they have faced for a long time is so overwhelming that everyone can be most relaxed during festivals.
Fuming walked among them very kindly. These soldiers basically knew what happened in the past few days, including the fact that the division commander suddenly brought the artillery company to the blacksmith village. It was all led by the deputy division commander who came up with new heavy weapons.
for the sake of.
A soldier stopped Fuming who was inspecting with great interest and asked directly: "Comrade Deputy Political Commissar, are all the rumors true? It is said that the deputy division commander has ordered our arsenal to produce individual rocket-propelled grenades and missiles."
Recoil rifles, and even a small howitzer."
Fuming nodded and said, "It seems you have heard the rumors."
At this point, he felt that he had to formally inform the soldiers of this exciting news.
Just like congratulations on the New Year, good news can undoubtedly greatly boost morale on this festive day.
This is a large canteen, enough for a thousand people to eat together. There are several other canteens as big as this one. Fuming called a few officers and asked them to maintain discipline and stop the soldiers from continuing to whisper among each other.
The soldiers suddenly became excited because the deputy political commissar had an important speech.
Fuming rolled the paper into a trumpet and held it in his hand. He faced two battalions of soldiers. He shouted enthusiastically and told everyone what happened in the blacksmith village in the past few days. As a result, he could talk about the entire
A deafening roar erupted from the canteen - the soldiers were so excited.
The increase in firepower of military equipment will increase the combat effectiveness of the troops. Compared with recoilless guns, rocket-propelled grenades are what surprise the soldiers.
After all, among these soldiers, the original 284th Division soldiers became junior officers one after another because of their seniority. These people are the soul of the army and have inherited the glory of their brothers who died in the battle. They said a lot to ordinary soldiers about the initial battle with the Germans.
What happened to the tank crew? A single soldier operating a rocket-like weapon completely destroyed a German tank in one go. The entire division destroyed a German tank regiment in almost an instant.
Now Fuming simply tells everyone that this kind of battle scene will reappear in the foreseeable future.
The soldiers cheered for five minutes. Finally, Fuming kept shouting for a long time before everyone quieted down.
His face was trembling, and he was shaking with excitement, and his legs never calmed down. Fuming held his breath, adjusted his mentality, and continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "Comrades! The division commander and deputy division commander have already
Order new recoilless rifles to be equipped with troops immediately, and nine more will be installed in the future. This is just the beginning! After you finish your meal, immediately tell everyone you met the good news. This Christmas, we must be happy
