Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, and several other members of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, as well as dozens of veterans of the training team, went to the artillery training ground of the Central Military Commission. It is located in a hilly area a few kilometers north of Vladivostok.

The weapons test site of the arsenal is next to it, and in order to better accept the weapons, the technical department of the arsenal chose the location of the acceptance of weapons at the artillery range of the Military Commission. After all, when the artillery training ground was first designed, the needs of actual combat were fully considered, and the battlefield environment was the standard for all terrain and landforms.

It is not only a simple artillery training ground, but also a training place for troops to conduct coordinated infantry and artillery training. Company and platoon offensive and defensive drills can also be conducted here. The actual combat environment has a very obvious effect on the training of troops.

When Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, and others arrived here, the experts and technicians of the technical department of the arsenal had already arrived first, and they had been living and eating at the weapons test site next to them during this time, and they had been constantly collecting various kinds of weapons, looking for the shortcomings of the weapons, hoping to revise them before they were finalized.

Zhang Jiang, director of the arsenal, saw Gao Jianguo and his entourage, and greeted him with many technicians from the arsenal.

"Lao Zhang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting......

"It's early for us, haha...... We came early this morning, mainly to fire a few more shots, to find out as much as possible the problem with the weapon, and to try to keep the equipment in the best condition and in the hands of the soldiers. ”

Zhang Jiang led Gao Jianguo, Li Ming and others to the front of several weapons, and introduced them to everyone: "We have brought a total of five weapons this time. The first is the Type 1629 75mm mountain gun, which everyone should be familiar with, and we discussed it together last year.

However, in the process of production and development, the progress of the Type 1629 70mm infantry gun was very smooth. However, in the process of developing the 75mm mountain gun, there have been continuous problems, and all the numbers have not met our requirements, and several key components have always had problems and hidden dangers. We changed our thinking this year, we have a lot of new ideas, and now this cannon has finally been developed.

We equipped this mountain gun with two types of ammunition. They are grenades and grenades. We have fired no less than 100 rounds of each ammunition in different environments, and the table has always been very stable. ”

He walked in front of the two mortars again, stroked the barrels, and said with a smile: "You are also very familiar with 60 mm and 82 mm mortars. The performance is much worse. For the threat we are facing, the performance of these two guns is still enough to meet the current needs of the troops. The ammunition is equipped with three types, which are high-explosive shells, smoke grenades, and flares.

The performance of these two types of artillery is very stable, and it is also due to Li Ming's reminder last year. If it is developed according to the number of prototype artillery, it will be good to be able to equip the troops next year. In the next step, we will also develop a 105 mm short diameter light infantry support artillery, and we will sacrifice range in order to increase the power of the artillery. In order to reduce weight, we prefer to reduce accuracy. It is to increase the intensity of fire of the forward troops.

Now that the design work has been completed, the ammunition has been developed, and most of the components of the gun have been produced, it is just waiting for the production of a prototype gun. Once this gun is developed. The intensity of the troops' firepower projection will be greatly increased. ”

Zhang Jiang led everyone to the front of a table again, where a young man was standing with a gun. Zhang Jiang said with a smile: "This is Wei Wenpeng from the technical department of our military factory, a young man with a lot of ideas. The idea of this equipment was the first one he proposed, so let him introduce it to everyone. ”

Wei Wenpeng was holding a double-barreled shotgun in his hand. He explained: "The equipment I am introducing to you below may be very familiar to everyone, but we have shortened the length of the gun and further simplified the design, making it a simple and reliable tool. And very durable weapons.

When I went to the grassroots company to investigate, I chatted with the soldiers of the mountain battalion. It is understood that everyone is not satisfied with the appearance of the Type 1628 short rifle in the jungle environment, and the mountainous jungle environment is more complicated. The maintenance requirements for firearms are higher, so I came up with the idea of designing a simple and reliable equipment for soldiers to fight in special environments. ”

He broke the barrel of the gun, took out two cartridge shotgun bullets from the two barrels, and then said with a smile: "These are the two bullets of this equipment, 12 caliber, and one is a single-headed bullet, with a range of 100 meters and powerful power." One is a scatter bomb, with a range of 60 meters, a large dispersion area, and can cover an area of about two square meters on the opposite side. In a complex environment, the fighters can flexibly use both types of ammunition to fight.

This Type 1629 double-barreled shotgun is also available in three models: long, medium and short, and the fighters can choose according to different environments. The battlefield environment of mountain warfare and street warfare is complex and changeable, and the battles basically take place within a very close distance, so the 1629A short rifle still has certain limitations in such an environment, in addition to being easy to carry.

And this Type 1629 double-barreled shotgun can play a greater role in such an environment. Moreover, this shotgun is simple and reliable, suitable for any environment, and can accompany soldiers in all kinds of bad weather for a long time in the field. ”

After listening to Wei Wenpeng's introduction, Gao Jianguo and Li Ming were interested in this equipment, and they picked up the three models of shotguns on the table and fiddled with them one by one.

All members of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission are also full of praise for this equipment, saying that the more advanced the weaponry, the better.

In this era their opponents were not very threatening, there was no Kwantung Army, and even less the SS. There are only Tartars, peasant rebels, Ming soldiers, and at most only a group of white-skinned pigs with arquebuses, so the right equipment is what they need most at the moment.

Gao Jianguo sighed with emotion: "It's really a good piece of equipment, it's so timely." This kind of equipment is not only suitable for mountain troops, even when other troops are fighting in special environments, each squad can be equipped with two, and at some times, rifles and even heavy machine guns are not as useful as it. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "I can only say that in the right era, the right battlefield, and the right enemy, this is the most appropriate equipment." Xiao Wei, how much does this shotgun cost? Is the manufacturing process complicated? ”

Wei Wenpeng said with a smile: "The cost is very low. The manufacturing process is simpler, and an apprentice can now assemble it proficiently. If it is said on the battlefield, two damaged guns, as long as the damaged parts are not the same part, ordinary soldiers can quickly load and unload, and then use two, or even several damaged gun accessories, to easily assemble and continue to fight. ”

At this time, a group of technicians from the arsenal came over from a distance, a group of people leading a dozen horses, and a few people dragging several two-wheeled vehicles. Their arrival also aroused everyone's interest.

Each horse and two-wheeled cart was loaded with weapons or ammunition boxes and supplies. When they came to everyone, Zhang Jiang began to introduce everyone.

"This is a few kinds of horse carrying equipment developed by the technical department of our factory for everyone. These include 60 mm and 82 mm mortars, water-cooled heavy machine guns, 70 mm infantry guns, and a series of special carrying equipment for weapons, as well as ammunition and supplies.

With the continuous growth of the troops, our army will inevitably face the situation of long-distance marching and long-distance running operations in the future. After all, we don't have many vehicles, and the road conditions of this era also determine the future march of the troops, and the troops' weapons, equipment, and material supplies will still be mainly carried by horses.

In order to meet the needs of the troops in the future, we have developed these sets of horse-carrying equipment. For example, the 70mm infantry gun, if the troops need to climb over complex environments such as mountains and jungles, the artillery can no longer use war horses to drag the march. After our optimized and reasonable design, only three war horses are needed, and they can be disassembled and installed on the body of these war horses. Coupled with three horses loaded with ammunition, a gun crew can travel through any complex environment with only six horses, reach the designated position faster, and quickly enter the battle.

There is also a series of ammunition and material supply carrying equipment, after our optimized and reasonable design, using our set of carrying equipment, each war horse can carry nearly one-third more materials than other war horses. It is also safer and easier to load and unload quickly, which can save a lot of time.

We have also equipped these sets of carrying equipment series with all kinds of outer cloths that are rainproof, cold-proof and even moisture-proof and fireproof, so that no matter what weather and any environment will not affect the march of the troops. Of course, this is a systematic project, and in the next step, we will work our army's ammunition boxes and supply boxes, and try our best to standardize and unify the ammunition and material supply of the troops.

Don't underestimate this little change, in the end, when combined, the troops' logistical supply can be more, faster, and more meticulous. The better we do our logistical work, the higher the combat effectiveness of our troops, and the stronger the sustained combat effectiveness will be. ”

After listening to Zhang Jiang's introduction, even Gao Jianguo, who has been in the army for many years, has to be convinced, and the technical department of the arsenal is really powerful. Those of them who came from military backgrounds are very aware of the importance of the logistics of the troops.

In the future, in the face of a long front hundreds of kilometers long, the importance of logistics can be imagined, and even if you bring one more shell, the effect on the troops is immeasurable. There are also these sets of weapons and equipment, so systematically designed that troops can march and fight in any conditions.

Once the troops are attacked by the enemy, in the face of a sudden attack, the time for the troops to change from a marching state to a combat state will inevitably be shorter. At this time, even if it is a second faster, there may be a few fewer deaths. (To be continued)
