readx; In December 1936, the snow did not fall in Wuhu in early winter as in the north, but the cold air in the air was slightly thicker, and people walking on the streets wore thicker clothes than in late autumn, and many of them were still wearing factory uniforms sent by major factories.

The city of Wuhu is a little different from other cities in China, it is a very pure industrial city, almost everywhere there are all kinds of factories, and most of these factories are related to steel ladders and machinery, benefiting from the rapid development of Wuhu's steel industry, Wuhu is currently China's largest steel base, but also China's most important machinery manufacturing base.

It is crowded with a large number of China's most important enterprises at present, among which Wuhu Iron and Steel is the second largest steel manufacturer in China and the largest special steel producer in China. Wuhu Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. is the largest heavy machinery manufacturer in China, mainly producing various special construction machinery. Wuhu Heavy Weapons Arsenal is the largest artillery manufacturer in China. Wuhu Special Machinery Co., Ltd., the original Wuhu Tank Factory, is China's largest crawler machinery production company, including civilian tractors, excavators, bulldozers, of course, its most important business is tanks, Wuhu Special Machinery provides almost all the tanks in China, the famous T6, T9 series tanks at home and abroad are their products, and the latest T11 and T12 series tanks of the Chinese Army are also produced by them.

Even the 1934 105 mm self-propelled gun, the 1935 155 mm self-propelled gun produced by Wuhu Heavy Machinery Company, and the T13 self-propelled anti-tank gun produced by Wuhan Heavy Machinery Company were all provided by Wuhu Special Machinery Company.

In addition to these large enterprises, there are actually many enterprises in Wuhu in the field of basic materials.

To put it bluntly, the city of Wuhu is the one that supports at least half of China's industry, and once Wuhu is gone, almost all of China's industry will come to a standstill, and it will not even be able to make tanks, planes, or warships.

Such an important industrial city naturally received great attention, and the army had deployed two divisions and a reading air defense regiment here, and if the scope was expanded, with Wuhu as the center, the Chinese army would be able to draw more than ten divisions of troops at any time in one day.

However, in terms of defense, Wuhu's defense strength is stronger than that of Nanjing and Shanghai.

Of course, these military forces do not appear in front of the people in normal times, and in the eyes of ordinary people, Wuhu is a city with thick smoke billowing all day long and the sound of machines constantly.

However, on this day, Wuhu, which is usually busy and calm, is much more serious, and soldiers can also be seen in some important places, and there are many soldiers with serious expressions at the train station, and these soldiers are a little different from the soldiers they usually see, the military uniforms on these people are not the brown and green military uniforms of ordinary soldiers, but navy blue military uniforms, and the cuffs are embroidered with gold edges, and the military ranks on each shoulder are very high, all non-commissioned officers, even an ordinary soldier can not be seen.

If there are people who are familiar with the [***] team, then they will recognize that these soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, but extremely special guard divisions.

And if you can recognize these troops as guard divisions, then it is easy to guess that President Chen Jingyun has come to Wuhu.

In the Wuhu railway station, Chen Jingyun, who had just gotten off the train, met the local municipal axe officials in Wuhu with a smile on his face, although the following officials also looked respectful, but they did not look very nervous like the local officials in other cities, and the reason was simple, because Chen Jingyun came to Wuhu more times.

Wuhu is the most important industrial base in China, and Nanjing is not far from Wuhu, so you can go back to Nanjing in the morning and in the evening, so Chen Jingyun has come to Wuhu more often.

It didn't take long for Chen Jingyun and a large group of high-ranking military and political officials to leave the train station, and then the president's inspection convoy began to leave the station.

Wuhu Special Machinery Company, the company's senior management carefully followed by his side, and the army's new weapons director, Lieutenant General Guo Hengsi, walked beside Chen Jingyun.

"Some of our weapons and equipment in the Spanish Civil War or withstood the test, the early T6 tanks we provided to Spain on both sides, although because they are old tanks and more troublesome to maintain, but in the face of the tanks provided by other countries still have a greater advantage, after actual combat has proven, the current Soviet Union and Russia are still equipped with a large number of active T26 series tanks and BT5 series tanks can not fight against our T6 tanks." Guo Hengsi said as he walked.

In fact, without the actual combat of the Spanish Civil War, the Chinese army knows that the surname of the T6 tank can outperform a large number of light and medium tanks in Soviet Russia, that is, against the latest KV series heavy tanks in Soviet Russia, the 57mm tank gun on the T6 tank is powerless. However, the KV heavy tank of Soviet Russia was designed not to fight against China's T6 tank, but to fight China's T7 heavy tank, but the KV tank has not been studied well, China's T9 medium tank made a grand debut, and further increased the gap in armor strength between China and the Soviet Union, at that time Stalin was ruthless enough, and suddenly abandoned the original multi-turret T-100 and other heavy tank research and development, and continued to develop KV tanks according to the existing research results, and successfully developed a prototype car in 1935It is said that Stalin was greatly satisfied after seeing this tank, and the Soviet Union and Russia claimed that the KV heavy tank was enough to crush all the active tanks in the world, and the Soviet army's satisfaction made the prototype of this KV tank quickly mass-produced after passing the test, and quickly deployed to the Siberian front.

However, they don't want to think about it, their KV tank has used more than 40 tons to achieve this kind of ability, and the artillery they are equipped with is only a 76.2 mm tank gun, and the power is not even comparable to the main gun on the T9 tank. However, since the Soviet Russian Army dared to say that the KV tank was enough to crush all the active tanks in the world, it was naturally because of its thick armor, which was 780 mm thick enough to make most tank guns below 75 mm caliber penetrable.

Soviet Russia designed more than 40 tons of KV tanks to fight against China's T9 series and T6 series tanks, but when their KV tanks were in service, China's T12 tanks and T11 tanks were also in service, and these two tanks were able to occupy an advantage if they were against KV tanks, especially T11 heavy tanks, the protection is better than KV, and the mobility surname is better than it, and the firepower is not a grade, and the T11 heavy tank crushes the KV tank is basically no suspense.

In the development and design of tanks in the thirties, the Chinese Army dared to say that it was the first, but other countries basically did not dare to say that it was second, and even the old industrial powers, Britain and the United States, could not compare.

So much so that today in 1936, China's T6 tanks have been in service for more than ten years, and many of them have been scrapped or retired at the end of their service life, but the T6 tank is still first-class among many active tanks in the world.

"There are not too many opportunities for testing heavy weapons, so the army does not plan to continue to supply advanced heavy equipment to Spain!" For example, the Chinese Army originally expected that Soviet Russia would provide Spain with their KV series tanks, otherwise it would not have sold a few T9 tanks to Spain, but I didn't expect that Soviet Russia was too stingy, and even their only little brother refused to give KV tanks, only a batch of T26 and BT5 tanks, and these tanks could be dealt with T6 tanks. T9 tanks are not needed at all.

As for other new heavy equipment developed by the Chinese Army, such as self-propelled artillery, such as self-propelled anti-tank guns, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, these things are basically the first to appear, and the price is not cheap, and more importantly, they can't find opponents in Spain at all. The combat target of China's T13 self-propelled anti-tank gun is the KV series of heavy tanks of Soviet Russia, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are equipped with armored units, and self-propelled guns are also used to accompany the rapid advance of armored troops, and the Spanish side does not use them at all, they do not even have large-scale armored forces.

"However, there are still a lot of opportunities in light weapons, and the 1935 submachine gun we sold to Franco has been tested in combat for the first time, and the effect is very good, and the surname can be regarded as first-class among the new submachine guns imported into Spain by various countries!" Guo Hengsi continued.

As soon as Chen Jingyun heard about this 1935-style submachine gun, he had some questions about when a new submachine gun would pop up again. Although Chen Jingyun is concerned about the development of armaments, most of his concerns are heavy equipment, such as tanks, airplanes and warships. As for some improvements to ordinary weapons, although I occasionally look at them, I don't pay much attention to them. After all, he has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to devote too much effort to paying attention to military equipment every day.

Seeing Chen Jingyun's puzzled face, Guo Hengsi immediately explained: "This is an improvement based on the 1928 submachine gun!" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded, the development of submachine guns began more than ten years ago, and now it is a normal improvement, and it is normal for the army to report to him as a major event.

Because technology is developing every day, the surname of military equipment can basically be a step every year, and it will have to be updated in three or five years, and the era of one gun 'all-encompassing the world will not appear during World War I and World War II, China's light weapons series have developed to this day, it can be said that there are many models, with the most basic rifle as an example, Starting from the first generation of 6.8 mm 1916 rifles, it has been improved five or six times, but the name remains the same after each improvement, it is still called the 1916 rifle, and several models of heavy machine guns have been developed, and light machine guns have developed almost ten models, although each of these many models of firearms cannot be equipped on a large scale, and there are only one or two large-scale reloads, but it is a fact that many models have been developed, and the army must select the best large-scale equipment from many models.
