Chapter 553: Blowing Up the Tank
Hearing Liao Fan's words, Du Weize realized that he had made a mistake, that he was too carried away and didn't think about it at all.
Liao Fan didn't mean to blame Du Weize, after all, the successful production of the bazooka is indeed exciting enough. Liao Fan is also very happy about Du Weize's success in this regard, but Du Weize is not a soldier after all, and his sense of secrecy must be weak.
After talking to Liao Fan, Du Weize also realized the importance of the secrecy of new weapons, so Du Weize set a rule for the military factory in the future, that is, secrecy, so everything must be kept secret, and he can't talk to his wife and children.
"How is the production of bazookas now?" Liao Fan wanted to know the production of bazookas.
Even if the cavalry regiment was disbanded, Liao Fan still did not change his plan to go north out of Taihang Mountain, and now since there is no cavalry to deal with the cavalry of the little devil, then use the bazooka to deal with the tanks and cavalry of the little devil.
"Hmm...... Now there are only a few finished products, and I can have workers work overtime if I need to, but we need a lot of steel! ”
Steel is not an important resource for Taihang Mountain, but also for a country.
"Steel is easy to do, the abandoned tanks and vehicles we got from the little devils can be used, it's really not good, let Hu Guoshan find a way to supply us!"
Now Hu Guoshan's division has taken back three county towns from the hands of the little devils, and has mastered a lot of resources, which should be able to supply the production of the arsenal for a period of time.
"This time we fought in Lingjing Township, and blew up a lot of little devils' tanks and armored vehicles, I have already told Sun Boyong, when the time comes, he will dismantle these unusable tanks and transport them back, and supply the production of bazooka first!"
"If that's the case, we should be able to build three bazookas and the accompanying ammunition in one day, but the more skilled we are, we should be able to build five in a day!" Du Weize calculated carefully, even if they worked overtime, it would be impossible to create more.
"No, it's too little!" Liao Fan carefully calculated, if the weather is warm next year, they will act, Du Weize and they will produce more than 300 bazookas at most, which is completely insufficient.
According to Liao Fan's plan, each squad should have a bazooka, so that whether it is facing a little devil's tank or a strong pillbox, the soldiers can cope with it freely, and there is still wear and tear on the battlefield, and three hundred bazookas are completely insufficient.
"Brother Fan, how many do you need?" Du Weize asked Liao Fan if the gap was not big, he would think of other ways to make up for it.
"At least five times as much as the current one, maybe even six!"
Du Weize looked at Liao Fan with a somewhat wooden expression, which means that they have to make at least fifteen bazookas a day to meet the needs of the troops.
"Brother Fan, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, the number is too large!"
"Actually, it's not difficult, I'll teach you a way!"
After finishing speaking, Liao Fan picked up a bazooka and dismantled the bazooka skillfully.
"The components of the bazooka are only a dozen or so parts, there are not many sophisticated internal structures, you produce these parts separately, you don't have to worry about the assembly, I will let the fighters assemble them, anyway, repairing weapons is also a compulsory course for fighters, and there are not many problems for them to assemble weapons!"
"It's a really good idea, we just have to produce the parts, which saves us a lot of time!"
"However, I have a request for you, that is, each of the same parts is produced, and the size and length must be the same, in case there is a problem with the bazooka, we can replace it in time with the existing parts!"
Liao Fan put forward the concept of standard parts in front of Du Weize, after all, these things are often used, just like the barrel of a Czech light machine gun, which needs to be replaced, don't need to replace the parts when the time comes, this one does not match the other, and the entire bazooka may not be able to be used because of a spring problem.
"Brother Fan, this is a bit difficult!"
If you want each part to be the exact size, their output may have to be reduced.
"Don't discount me, since you are the director of this factory, you can find a way for me to solve this problem, not only to ensure the standard, but also to increase my output, you must know that the weapons you produce are related to the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers!"
For Du Weize, he quickly changed from a student to a teacher, and then was forcibly pushed from a teacher to the current position of factory director, he didn't know what the real life in the army was like, and of course he didn't think as much as Liao Fan.
Not enough to see Liao Fan's serious attitude now, Du Weize did not dare to slack off in the slightest, if it was really as Liao Fan said, if they had an error, it would probably lead to the casualties of thousands of soldiers.
"Brother Fan, I wrote it down, but I can't give too many bazookas to the troops in the early stage!"
The bazooka has just been produced, and the workers' skills are not yet skilled, so Du Weize needs to train the workers while manufacturing the bazooka, and the production speed in the first month will certainly not be too fast.
"I don't care how high your production speed is, but before the spring of next year, you must hand over 1,500 bazookas!" Liao Fan is now the commander of an army, he is only responsible for giving orders, of course, the specific things are done from below, if he cares about everything and interferes in everything, don't be busy with the big and small things of Taihang Mountain.
Since Du Weize became the director of this factory, of course he had to obey Liao Fan's orders, so in the first month, he planned to produce 300 bazookas for the troops to try the effect.
As for the secrecy of the bazooka, Liao Fan did not deliberately do it again, because there were too many people who saw the live broadcast of the bazooka experiment that day, and there was no way to talk to them one by one.
However, Liao Fan didn't do it deliberately, and the little devil's spies lurking in Taihang Mountain didn't take the bazooka to heart.
At that time, there were indeed spies of little devils who saw the bazooka experiment at the experimental site, but they thought that this weapon had no value, and the power was okay, but the range was too close, and they would blow themselves up if they didn't do it, so it was better not to have this kind of thing.
The Japanese spies mainly focused on the disbanded cavalry regiment, although the whole army had learned that the cavalry regiment had been disbanded, and the little devil's spies had to guard against whether this was a smokescreen deliberately thrown by Liao Fan.
In the future, once they fight, if these cavalry come out of an unexpected place again, it may be a sour surprise for the little devil's troops.
So their attention was diverted by the news of the cavalry regiment, and they didn't care about the bazooka.
Before leaving, Liao Fan took a bazooka and five grenades from Du Weize, obviously the bazooka was made, of course Liao Fan wanted to use them to actually fight, trying to try how much destruction power the little devil's tank had.
The experimental target that Liao Fan thought of was the two tanks of the special combat team, which were captured from the hands of the little devils, but they did not drive into Taihang Mountain, but in a remote mountain village on Taihang East Road.
Xiaoliangjiang has become the second station of the special combat team, and the reason why Huang Changsheng chose this place is because all the people in this village were slaughtered by the little devils when they were sweeping away.
The work of the special combat team requires a high degree of secrecy, so Xiao Liangjiang was selected by Huang Changsheng.
So Huang Changsheng ordered their only two tanks to drive into the Xiaoliang River, and arranged for a special operations brigade of soldiers to be stationed around the Xiaoliang River, and the most important thing was that they had to learn how to use tanks.
For the soldiers of the special operations brigade, they often see tanks, but there are not many who can really use tanks, and now that they have finally got two, Huang Changsheng of course has to hurry up to train his fighters to become all-round masters.
However, what Huang Changsheng didn't expect was that Liao Fan had already made up his mind when he gave them these two tanks, that is, to conduct experiments for his bazooka.
Liao Fan rode a war horse and came to Xiaoliang River with a bazooka.
Of course Huang Changsheng was happy to see Liao Fan, but they had been fighting from a trench to the present, and the relationship was naturally needless to say, just like brothers.
"Brother Fan, I heard that you disbanded the cavalry regiment?"
Of course, Huang Changsheng also got the news, he never understood why Liao Fan disbanded the cavalry regiment, even if the cavalry regiment suffered huge losses, but it also fell to the point of being disbanded.
Liao Fan glanced at Huang Changsheng and said: "In the future, the battlefield cavalry will only cook for the troops, so there is no need to exist!" ”
Huang Changsheng also understood what Liao Fan said, the truth is that it is indeed difficult to win when a war horse encounters an armored force, but the degree of mechanization of the little devil is not like that of Germany and the Soviet Union, where there are tanks everywhere.
The little devils are still mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry, and the armored forces are not very popular, and on the Chinese battlefield, the cavalry will at least be able to play a strong role in the next seven or eight years, at least there is no problem in dealing with the little devils.
"Brother Fan......"
"Stop, I'm not here to discuss the issue of the cavalry regiment with you today, I'm here to find you something!" Liao Fan took off the bazooka he was carrying and carried it in his hand.
"What is this, how have I never seen it!"
"You'll find out later, where are the two tanks of your special operations brigade now?"
"On the training ground! I'll take you right now! ”
If Huang Changsheng knew that Liao Fan was coming with a bazooka to blow up his tank, he would not have told Liao Fan that their two tanks were on the training ground.
After arriving at the training ground, Huang Changsheng ordered all the troops to assemble and wait for Liao Fan's lecture
"I don't have anything to say, I'm here today to experiment with our newly developed weapons and see how powerful they are, it just so happens that you are all here, and you have also seen the weapons made by our military factories!"
Liao Fan said briefly, and then ordered the soldiers to drive the tank to the designated position, and then Liao Fan took out the bazooka.
