Chapter 672: The Shock of the Central Chief

The shock of the head of the Central Committee

It has been tightly sealed, under the protection of thousands of soldiers, like an iron barrel of weapons testing ground. In everyone's anxious waiting, today's protagonist is finally ushered in.

Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, Ren Bi, Liu Shaoqi almost all the central leaders who stayed in the central station. Accompanied by Liu Hua, he walked into the huge weapon test site with an expectant face.

"Comrade Liu Hua, there is such a big formation, even the Central Garrison Division has been mobilized by you. Today, if you can't give us all a little bit of the real thing. It's not just me, but all of us here, but we won't let you go" Looking at the surroundings of the test site, which can almost be called a tight blockade line of five steps and one post, the chairman who walked in the front said with a smile on his face.

"Chairman, these three weapons are too important for us. If you let the little devil spy know. It was a huge disaster for our party and for the entire War of Resistance, so I had to be cautious. Please rest assured, Chairman and leaders, that today's weapons test, with the three new types of weapons that I have brought with me, will certainly surprise everyone. ”

As he spoke, a group of people had successfully passed the inspection of the special operations division and entered the weapon test site. And under the leadership of a special combat team, they first came to the shooting range of the experimental semi-automatic rifle.

"Chairman, chiefs, let's first take a look at China's first truly qualitative semi-automatic rifle, the 'Zhonghua Type 1 Semi-Automatic Rifle', which has just been developed and produced by the Fengtian Arsenal."

As he spoke, Liu Hua had already taken a semi-automatic rifle handed over by a special combat member. Very skillfully took out a magazine and gently inserted it into the magazine hole. Immediately after that, the rifle of the quick opponent was loaded. With a crisp sound of bullet loading, the sound of loading rang out from inside the chamber. Liu Hua slowly raised the loaded rifle in his hand and aimed steadily at the target paper one hundred and fifty meters away.

And at this moment, several central leaders standing behind Liu Hua, under Liu Hua's reminder, also put their eyes on the rifle in Liu Hua's hand for the first time. And wait and see, get ready to see the specific power of the rifle in Liu Hua's hand.

"Bang Bang"

A series of crisp whispers rang out in the quiet weapons test ground. The eight bullets in the magazine, under the continuous pulling of Liu Hua's fingers, quickly flew out of the chamber. The target paper one hundred and fifty meters away from everyone, as well as the mound of dirt behind the target paper, were immediately dusted under the continuous blows of eight bullets.

Eight bullets, in the chamber of the rifle in Liu Hua's hand, like a light machine gun, were all fired at the opposite target paper in less than five seconds. Such a scene was actually completed by a rifle that looked like it was not significantly different from the Type 38 rifle, which was obviously beyond everyone's imagination. Just as Liu Hua put down the rifle in his hand, the leaders behind him were still immersed in the shock just now.

"Comrade Liu Hua, this is what you call a semi-automatic rifle that can fire continuously?" After a brief moment of shock, the chairman, who was the first to react, asked.

"Report Chairman, this is the semi-automatic rifle produced by the Mukden Arsenal. The gun has a capacity of eight rounds and is fed using a magazine. Among them, this rifle not only has the shooting accuracy of ordinary rifles. At the same time, it also has the heavy fire of a light machine gun when firing continuously. It can be said that it is the first semi-automatic rifle officially finalized in the whole of China. ”

As he spoke, Liu Hua ordered a special combat member behind him.

"Xiao Wang, immediately issue a semi-automatic rifle to each chief. Let the chiefs really understand the performance of this rifle from the front. ”

"Yes, Chief"

A semi-automatic rifle was quickly distributed to the hands of these battlefield veterans, and the leaders standing in front of Liu Hua, except for the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou, the remaining leaders immediately couldn't put down every part of the rifle in their hands. What's more, they have already received bullets from the hands of the special combat personnel around them, preparing to shoot live ammunition.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Another series of gunshots rang out in the field, and the leaders at all levels who were addicted to it were immediately completely attracted by the excellent performance of this semi-automatic rifle in their hands.

"Comrade Liu Hua, what caliber is the bullet used in this rifle. In addition, how many such rifles can the Mukden Arsenal do you have? "The commander-in-chief, who had just finished firing eight rounds in a magazine, was completely attracted by the rifle in his hand. immediately looked at Liu Hua, who was smiling in front of him, and asked a question that everyone wanted to know the most at this moment. "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Chiefs. In order to facilitate the replenishment of battlefield and ammunition in wartime, we have set the caliber of this automatic rifle to be 6.5 mm. In other words, the ammunition used in this semi-automatic rifle is the ammunition used in the Japanese-style Type 38 rifle. ”

"As for the specific production of such semi-automatic rifles. If the production of Type 38 rifles is abandoned, the Mukden Arsenal can produce 500 rifles per day with sufficient raw materials and two shifts. ”

"Okay" As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, an excited voice shouted out of the commander-in-chief's mouth.

Seeing everyone's eyes, they all focused on themselves for a while. The commander-in-chief said with excitement and confidence on his face.

"Chairman, Enlai, comrades. The performance of this rifle, I don't say, everyone knows. Here, I dare to guarantee that if all the units of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of our party can be replaced with such semi-automatic rifles, the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army will be increased by at least 50 percent."

"Increase the combat effectiveness of fifty percent, boss, you are not wrong" The commander-in-chief's words, like a stimulant, immediately caused a shock to everyone around him. Even the chairman, who has always been as steady as Mount Tai, couldn't help but tremble a little. Then, he asked the commander-in-chief in front of him with an incredulous expression.

"Chairman, there is absolutely no problem in improving the combat effectiveness of fifty percent" Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, the commander-in-chief replied with great certainty.

"Good, good, good" after calling three good in a row. The chairman immediately shifted his gaze back to Liu Hua in front of him. asked anxiously.

"Comrade Liu Hua, according to the current production capacity of the arsenal, how long will it take to redress the entire Eighth Route Army as a whole?"

Seeing the expectant eyes of the chairman and all the leaders, Liu Hua did not want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm. However, the capacity of the arsenal is placed there after all. With the current capacity of the arsenal, it will not be possible to do a comprehensive redress in a few years. Thinking of this, Liu Hua could only shake his head very helplessly and said.

"Report Chairman, Chiefs, I think that with the current capacity of the Mukden Arsenal and the limitations of the raw materials for production. A comprehensive refitting of the entire Eighth Route Army is basically an impossible thing to accomplish in a short period of time. Before coming to Taiyuan, the decision I made throughout the Northeast Field Army was; Because of the production of this rifle, this rifle was only equipped with all squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of the entire Northeast Field Army in a short period of time. This semi-automatic rifle is used as an additional support firepower for each infantry squad in addition to light machine guns. On this visit to Taiyuan, I brought a total of 4,500 semi-automatic rifles and gave them to the Party Central Committee."

After a brief silence, it was the Chairman who spoke first:

"As the saying goes, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite. To be able to equip all squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of the whole army with this new type of semi-automatic rifle in a short period of time is already great news for us. Comrade Liu Hua, you have done a good job, and you have made a very great contribution to our party."

"Report to the chairman, I am a member of the Communist Party. Do these things, it's all as it should be."

"Hehe, Comrade Liu Hua, appropriate modesty is good. It's your credit, it's your credit. In a word, I believe that the CPC Central Committee will remember every contribution you have made. Let's go, let's take a look at the next baby, see what other shocking treasures our Comrade Liu Hua has brought" For Liu Hua's answer, the chairman nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Chairman. The next weapon is also the first finalized individual rocket launcher developed and produced by the Fengtian Arsenal in China. This bazooka, for European and American countries, is already a widely equipped individual anti-tank weapon. However, in Asia, it is rarely seen."

"Comrade Liu Hua, you should show us the real thing. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, let's take a real look at what kind of weapon it is" with a semi-automatic rifle as a foreshadowing. The commander-in-chief is full of expectations for the next two weapons, so to speak. In front of him, Liu Hua, who was about to continue the introduction, asked anxiously.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief" Seeing the leaders with anxious expressions on their faces like the Commander-in-Chief, Liu Hua replied affirmatively. Immediately, two special combat soldiers appeared in front of everyone. Under everyone's surprised gaze, a special combat member, carrying a bazooka on his shoulder, quickly half-squatted on the ground, and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the target that was white meters away. At the same time, another special combat team member took out a slender rocket from his backpack and skillfully inserted it into the barrel of the black hole from behind.

"Report to the chief, the individual bazooka is ready for launch"

"Launch immediately, target, steel plate a hundred meters ahead"

"Whoosh"

Similarly, in the shocked gaze of everyone, an orange-red flame erupted from the barrel of the cannon on the shoulders of the special combat personnel. Immediately after that, the rocket that had just been inserted into the barrel of the gun, with a cloud of orange-red tail flame, quickly abolished the barrel of the cannon, and flew towards the target not far away.

"Boom" A fireball rose into the air on a steel plate nearly 100 meters away. The rocket, which flew out of the chamber for less than two seconds, accurately hit the target, and a violent explosion occurred. As the gunpowder smoke from the explosion slowly dissipated under the breeze, a steel plate that was still standing in front of everyone just now had been punched out of a large hole with the thickness of a bowl.

Looking at the shooting effect in front of him, the unusually light individual bazooka on the shoulders of the special operators in front of him. The commander-in-chief immediately perceived the tremendous impact that this weapon would have on the troops after equipping the troops. said excitedly to the chairman and others beside him.

"Well, with this individual bazooka, we no longer have to let the soldiers rely on their own flesh and blood to block the ironclad cars and tanks of the little devils. In the process of attacking, there is no need for the soldiers to use their lives to blow up the bag drops and turrets of the little devils."

"The commander-in-chief is right, with this individual bazooka, our fighters no longer need to worry about the armored vehicles and pillbox turrets of the little devils. At present, for this individual rocket launcher, the arsenal can reach a daily production capacity of 20 rockets and 200 rockets. My idea is to provide 300 rocket launchers and 3,000 rockets to the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Guannai every month. As for the remaining bazookas and ammunition, they will be equipped with the Northeast Field Army. As for this visit to Taiyuan, I brought a total of 150 bazookas and corresponding ammunition. I don't know what the chair thinks"

"Yes" Regarding Liu Hua's suggestion, the chairman, who reacted from the shock, didn't think about it and replied affirmatively.

"Three hundred in a month, three thousand six hundred in a year. It was enough to equip each infantry company of the Eighth Route Army with a bazooka. However, Comrade Liu Hua, my suggestion is that after producing a certain number of bazookas, the entire arsenal should concentrate its efforts on producing rockets that are urgently needed for bazookas. After all, a bazooka with ten rounds of ammunition will not last long at all in wartime. “

"Yes, Chairman, I see"

"Good. Comrade Liu Hua, next, let's continue to take a look at the last weapon you brought. Let's take a look at the final finale baby, what kind of weapon is it. The chairman nodded and said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Chair"

The finale weapon is the finale weapon. A nondescript MLRS, as soon as it was put out, attracted everyone's attention. And the next artillery experiment surprised and shocked everyone even more.

"Whoosh" swooped in a row, like the sound of a bazooka just being launched to everyone's ears. The rocket launcher standing in front of everyone immediately sent rockets with orange flames into the sky like fireworks.

Six rockets that fired bazookas at almost the same time, in the sky, were like six brilliant fireworks. Drawing a perfect arc, he quickly flew towards the shooting target a kilometer away.

In less than five seconds, all six rockets hit the target, and a violent explosion sounded sound. Immediately after, a kilometer away, dozens of scarecrows who were targets were completely enveloped in gunpowder smoke from the instantaneous explosion of six rockets.

In the shocked gaze of everyone, the smoke that enveloped the target finally slowly dissipated. However, half a minute ago, there were dozens of scarecrows standing in front of everyone. At this moment, it has long been gone, and as for the various hidden terrains set up around the target, at this moment, it has also been razed to the ground. ,

In a word, everything you see is displayed without exception. Standing in front of everyone, this nondescript multiple rocket launcher has great power when firing a salvo.

Seeing the faces of the leaders, they were still enveloped by a look of deep shock. Liu Hua opened his mouth to explain.

"Report to the chief, this MLRS is used as support firepower at the division level. Its salvo power far exceeds that of a single heavy gun. Not only does it cover a large area and the explosion effect is good, but also the short-term critical vacuum state formed by the simultaneous explosion of a large number of rockets increases the lethal effect. Suffice it to say that this artillery, against the infantry exposed on surface positions, as well as all light and heavy fire points, is very huge, almost devastating. ”

"Yes, this MLRS is good. If, in the course of the battle, dozens of such rocket launchers are hit, suddenly such a salvo comes at the enemy's position. I can guarantee that the enemy will be blown to the ground, Comrade Liu Hua, with the current capacity of the arsenal, is it possible to mass-produce this kind of rocket artillery? When will this rocket artillery be able to equip the troops? The commander-in-chief said with a look of surprise.

"Commander-in-Chief, according to the existing production capacity of the Mukden Arsenal, a hundred MLRS can be delivered to the troops per month. However, the consumption of ammunition by this rocket launcher is a very huge astronomical figure. Therefore, I believe that after a certain number of rocket artillery is in the army armament department, the arsenal should concentrate on the production of various rockets for rocket artillery. ”

"Okay, Comrade Liu Hua. I can say that I am here today with an eye-opener, and I was severely shocked by the three weapons you sent. On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, I have accepted these gifts from you to the CPC Central Committee. For the current construction of the Northeast Field Army and the entire arsenal, if there is any need, you can mention it. If the central government can help you, it will definitely help you," the chairman said.

"Thank you, Chair. At present, the biggest problem plaguing the entire arsenal is still the problem of raw materials. I will definitely try my best to solve this problem. ”

"In addition, after a week's hard work, the arsenal has made certain changes to the existing crooked light machine guns in the troops. Changed the bucket feed to a magazine feed. It not only reduces the frequency of machine gun shooting, but also increases the shooting accuracy and firepower intensity of the machine gun, and its power far exceeds that of the Japanese crooked light machine gun. ”

"Therefore, I hope that the chairman can give orders to all units of the Eighth Route Army to reequip the crooked machine guns used by each unit step by step. Within one year, we will strive to complete the modification of all the crooked light machine guns used by our army and equip the troops. Liu Hua said.

"Okay, it's modified. Boss, this matter will be left to you, and the entire army must be redressed in the shortest possible time. The chairman ordered affirmatively.
