Chapter 366: Anti-aircraft guns

The transport teams sent by various units that are a little closer to Jinsha Town have already arrived in Jinsha Town yesterday, and since this morning, quite a number of transport teams have arrived in Jinsha Town, and many more will arrive in Jinsha Town today and in the next few days.

Some of these caravans drove horse-drawn carts, some led camels, horses and donkeys, some pushed wheelbarrows, and some carried poles and ropes.

They will use these tools to transport their weapons and ammunition through the vast rural areas and return to their own stations and base areas, which are now in North China, which are basically controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and are still relatively safe.

With Comrade Xiao Zhengguang's order, the staff of the Eighth Route Army began to distribute ammunition to various transport teams, and those transport teams that got ammunition were happy and immediately left happily, and it would not be long before these weapons and ammunition would be distributed to the hands of various units.

Zhang Yunfei saw that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were distributing ammunition in an orderly manner, Zhang Yunfei also nodded with satisfaction, and then, Zhang Yunfei said to Liu Xing: "Liu Xing, organize your people to immediately assemble the six 30mm anti-aircraft guns we transported from Datong this time." ”

After receiving the order, Liu Xing immediately led more than a dozen special combat team members to run over to unpack the boxes and prepare to assemble these anti-aircraft guns, and many soldiers from the guard company also went over to help.

The six two-mounted anti-aircraft guns that were transported this time were still in the state of parts, and they were packed in large wooden boxes with mouths, which had been moved off the plane with the help of the comrades of the Eighth Route Army.

Liu Xing's task was to assemble these anti-aircraft guns as soon as possible and then arrange them in the appropriate position at the airport, and the fighters of the guard company, in the next few days, would leave a part of these anti-aircraft guns to be responsible for the air defense of the airport.

Liu Xing led everyone to bring in large wooden boxes, and the special combat team members took these parts and skillfully assembled them, and it didn't take long for the anti-aircraft guns to take shape.

Liu Xing and the special combat team members assembled antiaircraft guns there, and it didn't take long for them to attract many comrades of the Eighth Route Army to watch, and no one had ever seen an antiaircraft gun, so they felt very novel.

When the anti-aircraft guns were almost loaded, the comrades of the Eighth Route Army who were watching had a heated discussion there, and although everyone did not know what kind of weapon it was, everyone had already expressed their opinions there.

"It's a heavy machine gun, it's really beautiful, and you can see that it's not a small power at a glance."

"Come on! I don't think it's a heavy machine gun, how can a heavy machine gun have such a large caliber, you see how thick his muzzle is. ”

"What kind of weapon is this, he has two barrels and a long chain?"

"Maybe it's an anti-aircraft machine gun! Yes, it is possible that it was a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun. ”

“……”

Hearing the heated discussions among the comrades of the Eighth Route Army around him, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile in his heart, thinking that if he hadn't participated in the 36th Group Army before, he was afraid that he would not have been able to come into contact with such a good weapon like these comrades of the Eighth Route Army.

Several special combat team members who usually do not smile next to them couldn't help but feel very happy when they heard the discussion of the comrades of the Eighth Route Army next to them, and a rare smile appeared on their faces.

The words of the comrades of the Eighth Route Army next to him have never stopped, everyone has been discussing for a few minutes, and there is no argument about what is famous.

In the end, there was still a comrade of the Eighth Route Army who asked Liu Xing carefully: "Chief, what kind of weapon is this, can you tell us in detail?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll explain this weapon to you well." ”

The comrades of the Eighth Route Army next to him, seeing that Liu Xing was about to explain, everyone stopped arguing, and the scene calmed down suddenly, and everyone looked at Liu Xing eagerly, waiting for Liu Xing's explanation.

Liu Xing looked around at everyone, coughed lightly, and began to explain, "Comrades, this weapon is called a two-pack 30mm anti-aircraft gun, which is a kind of artillery that shoots at air targets from the ground. It has a long cannon body, a large muzzle velocity, and a large firing range, and is mainly used to deal with the planes of the little devils.

Don't underestimate these anti-aircraft guns, he can hit planes 5 kilometers above the ground, and with optical sights, the rate of fire of hundreds of rounds per minute, with these anti-aircraft guns, our Jinsha Town Airport will be impregnable, and the plane that will be called the little devil will not return,......"

After listening to Liu Xing's explanation, the comrades of the Eighth Route Army next to them suddenly thundered with joy and applauded one after another, and everyone thought in their hearts that this weapon is too powerful.

Hearing the cheers and applause here, Zhang Yun flew here to take a look, only to see a lot of comrades of the Eighth Route Army surrounding these anti-aircraft guns and Liu Xing talking there.

Zhang Yunfei smiled with satisfaction when he saw it, and Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army next to him, at this time, also looked at Liu Xing's side curiously, and saw that in the crowd, several mighty weapons showed their slender barrels.

Seeing that Comrade Xiao Zhengguang was a little curious and puzzled, Zhang Yunfei immediately explained: "Those are a few antiaircraft guns that we have just shipped, which will be equipped at Jinsha Town Airport in the future and will be responsible for the air defense of the airport.

Hearing this, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang was also a little excited, but he did not expect that the 36th Group Army was even equipped with antiaircraft guns, and these antiaircraft guns must have been developed and produced by the 36th Group Army itself.

The surprises brought to him by the 36th Group Army and Zhang Yunfei were really one after another, and Comrade Xiao Zhengguang thought to himself, if he had a chance in the future, he must go to the 36th Group Army to have a good look.

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, who was also more interested in these antiaircraft guns, also walked towards the antiaircraft guns, walked in front of these antiaircraft guns, and took a closer look at them.

Zhang Yunfei only smiled slightly when he saw Comrade Xiao Zhengguang's actions, Zhang Yunfei thought in his heart, these anti-aircraft guns are still products produced before, these anti-aircraft guns have two wheels under them, and there is a big 10 mm thick steel plate on the front, which mainly plays the role of protecting the anti-aircraft gun shooters.

This kind of anti-aircraft gun is rarely produced now, and now, the anti-aircraft gun produced by Datong is an anti-aircraft gun after the improvement of engineering and technical personnel, and now the main production is 4-pack self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

This newly produced 4-pack self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, mounted on a light tracked armored vehicle, makes the anti-aircraft gun and the armored vehicle a whole, this is an attempt by Zhang Yunfei, first produce self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and later, Zhang Yunfei is also preparing to produce self-propelled howitzers.

The newly produced 4-pack self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, although it does not have a fire control system like a modern self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, there is no computer, but it has an optical sight, which can be aimed manually, and each self-propelled anti-aircraft gun vehicle is also equipped with an inter-vehicle radio communication system, with these things, in this era, it is already very advanced.

Zhang Yunfei's purpose is not only to defeat the little devil, in Zhang Yunfei's heart, there is also a dream of the rise of a great country, so Zhang Yunfei will be desperate to develop industry and strive to build the army.

Zhang Yunfei wants to rely on his experience and vision more than others, and strive to develop industry, especially the military industry, Zhang Yunfei wants to go to the forefront of the world, although this is difficult, but no matter how much the price is paid, Zhang Yunfei will not hesitate.

Zhang Yunfei knows the importance of the mechanization of the troops, so now, Zhang Yunfei is not in a hurry to march to the little devils in North China, Zhang Yunfei plans to realize the mechanization of the troops in the next period of time.

The establishment of large-scale armored clusters is necessary, so the development, production, and continuous improvement of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns cannot be slackened at all.

The construction of the air force must also be stepped up, although the aircraft produced by the air force can be better than the little devils, but their own scale is too small, and now, Zhang Yunfei is already expanding the scale of various factories, Zhang Yunfei asked Comrade Fangzheng, who is in charge of the construction of the base area, to grasp this as a key task.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Yunfei was in a hurry to regain Baotou and build a large steel plant in Baotou, because after the expansion of these factories, a large amount of steel was needed.

Zhang Yunfei stood there alone and thought about it a lot, so much so that he was a little distracted, Zhang Yunfei didn't feel it himself, but Comrade Deng Wenping next to Zhang Yunfei saw Zhang Yunfei's expression and knew that Commander-in-Chief Zhang must be thinking about some long-term plan.

About thirty or forty minutes later.

Almost half of the ammunition unloaded from the plane has been transported by various transport teams, and now, the busiest people in the entire Jinsha Town Airport may be these transport teams and the comrades of the Eighth Route Army who are responsible for distributing ammunition.

The comrades of these transport teams, all with their faces full of excitement, had carriages and wheelbarrows, loaded the boxes of ammunition onto the carriages and wheelbarrows, loaded them with ammunition, and did not stop, and immediately left happily.

The transport team members who did not have these things, some of them carried them with flat shoulders, and some of them carried them directly on their shoulders, and everyone seemed to have endless energy, and as soon as they received their own ammunition, they were so happy that they left immediately.

The transport team members who arrived first received the things first, and everyone left after receiving their things, and the transport team members who arrived later led the way, and in the back, there were many comrades of the transport team who kept coming.

Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone cooperated very well, and he was also quite happy in his heart, but he didn't think that the problem of transporting ammunition was solved by the comrades of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but think of two words, one is "ants move", and the other is "there is strength in numbers".
