Chapter 2348 The Second Arsenal (1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A large arsenal is being built deep in the mountains.

    The terrain here is very similar to that of Huangyadong Arsenal.  The outside is also a terrain where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, but the interior is very open.

    And there is iron ore nearby. The ore mined from the nearby mines is directly transported to the arsenal, and then it can be smelted into steel.

    Lu Da, a technical expert, also came all the way from Xiagou Iron Works.  When the steel plant was first established, he needed technical guidance.

    Looking at the towering steelmaking furnace at this time, Lu Da's eyes were full of envy.

    All kinds of equipment in Xiagou Iron Works are patchwork.  Some of them are made by their own methods, which are relatively crude and completely incomparable with the steel mills here.

    This steelmaking furnace was imported from Krupp.  It was almost the same as the steelmaking furnace that Lu Da saw when he was working in Krupp.

    "This furnace can produce high-quality gun steel." Lu Da said to Qin Baoshan: "It can completely produce cannons with a caliber of more than 100 mm."

    Hearing Lu Da's words, Li Yunlong's face was also full of excitement: "His grandma, from now on we can directly push the cannon to bombard the little devil."

    "Old Li, don't dream," Qin Baoshan quickly stopped Li Yunlong's fantasy, and said to Li Yunlong: "Although this military factory was established in the northeast region, it is your defense zone, but you only have the obligation to protect it.  There is no right to share its products. All weapons produced here need to be distributed by higher authorities."

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Li Yunlong's eyes widened.

    "His grandma, when I first came here, my superiors said that everything I seized will be assigned to me. Now those planes have been snatched by my superiors, and this military factory has been established. Anyway, we have to let Lao Li drink it."  Let¡¯s have some soup, how can there be nothing?¡±

    Li Yunlong began to complain again. Qin Baoshan had long been accustomed to his performance, so he didn't bother Li Yunlong either.

    It wasn't until Li Yunlong finished performing that he realized that Qin Baoshan and Lu Da had started talking again.

    "Yes, these gun steels can produce cannons with a caliber of more than 100 mm. Moreover, the equipment we seized also includes processing equipment for making large-caliber howitzers. But from the perspective of our Eighth Route Army, large-caliber cannons are still  inconvenient."

    In the world of artillery, caliber is justice.  For example, the 300-400mm caliber cannons of those battleships can destroy a solid concrete fortification with one shot, even if it is several meters thick concrete, it can be blown away with one shot.

    But the larger the caliber, the heavier the cannon. The current Eighth Route Army is still dominated by infantry, and there are not many cavalry. Except for Li Yunlong, the other armies are still poor in weaponry.

    So at this time, if large-caliber cannons are produced, it will be very inconvenient for the Eighth Route Army to carry them.

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Li Yunlong began to interject again: "Why is it inconvenient? The little devils are already grasshoppers after autumn. They only dare to stay in the big cities, and the entire rural area is our world."

    "Lao Li, we should not only focus on this war, but also on the next war. In that war, we should be on the strategic defense at the beginning. If we manufacture some large-caliber howitzers now, then wait until  When we started our strategic retreat, those cannons would probably have to be blown up."

    Qin Baoshan's vision has been extended, after all, the little devil's failure is inevitable.  He wants to see the future.  If it wasn't for the next war, then Qin Baoshan wouldn't need to move all the equipment from Fengtian Arsenal back. With Li Yunlong's current strength, even Fengtian City can be taken down.

    He moved the equipment of these arsenals all the way to the deep mountains, just to prepare for the next war.

    Lu Da took Qin Baoshan's statement very seriously, and he said to Qin Baoshan: "Then if we want to build artillery now, what kind of artillery do you think we will focus on?"

    Huangya Cave has been able to manufacture 50 mm caliber artillery.  It is this kind of artillery that is installed on the tanks they produce themselves.

    Therefore, if it is going to be produced here, it should produce artillery with a larger caliber, and there is no need to repeat it with Shanxi.  But Qin Baoshan's request is also very important.  It must be easy to transfer.

    Qin Baoshan's mind was also thinking rapidly, and then a special weapon entered his mind.

      "I think, in order to increase the power of our shells, it is more appropriate to set the caliber at 105 mm." Qin Baoshan began to talk about his own ideas.

    The 105mm caliber artillery is definitely not small, and this is already a medium-caliber howitzer.  Lu Da nodded, agreeing to Qin Baoshan's suggestion.

    Lu Da thought Qin Baoshan was talking about howitzers.  However, Qin Baoshan corrected his train of thought, and Qin Baoshan continued: "This kind of gun will be very light. It can be carried by two people when maneuvering in mountainous areas."

    Wait, Lu Da didn't react.  For this 105mm caliber gun, the barrel is already very thick.  How could two people carry it on their shoulders?  Unless it is the kind of bazooka that Qin Baoshan made, but that kind of thing has a limited range, and after flying out, it is already inaccurate beyond two or three hundred meters.

    Seeing Lu Da's doubts, Qin Baoshan had a smile on his face: "I wonder if you have heard of recoilless guns?"

    Ordinary artillery has recoil.  At the beginning, because there was no buffer device, it took a long time to fire the second shot after firing the first shot, and the artillery needed to be restored to its original position again.  It was not easy. It was not until the efficient hydraulic buffer device was available that it was able to shoot quickly. At the same time, this device also made the howitzer very heavy.  Now Qin Baoshan has proposed a new solution, which is the recoilless gun.

    In later generations, recoilless guns have disappeared, and various missiles have replaced recoilless guns.  But in the 1960s and 1970s, this kind of thing was quite common.  Especially when this 105mm caliber recoil gun is combined with a 212 jeep, it is simply a self-propelled artillery that can come and go freely.

    Any artillery has a recoil, and you have to think of various ways to reduce the recoil.  On a whim, an American could add an identical shell to the rear of the artillery, the front shell would fly forward, and the rear shell would fly backward, so that there would be no recoil.  However, the backward-flying projectile will pose a threat to the gunner, so after several improvements, it becomes a certain amount of gas sprayed backward to counteract the reaction force. This is the famous recoilless gun.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
