Text Chapter 138 Yang Zhen¡¯s Thoughts

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing several people looking at him expectantly, Yang Zhen was scratching his head as to how to explain.  I can never say that a world-class war will break out in Europe in September this year.  The performance of the German armored army in Poland that later almost swept across Europe shocked almost the whole world.

    It was through this battle that the whole world truly understood the great power of tanks, a weapon with extremely powerful attack power that had finally matured.  As for the big brother in the north whose western terrain is flat and is extremely suitable for large-scale use of tank tactics, the German tanks are an extremely fatal threat.  And that big brother will vigorously produce tanks and anti-tank weapons out of the idea of ??being prepared for danger in times of peace?

    And what should I say? The big brother across the street robbed his neighbor's land for so-called security reasons this winter. As a result, he was beaten to a bruised nose and face. The infantry was also under the attack of the opponent's large number of submachine guns.  , after suffering heavy casualties, did they truly realize the power of submachine guns and start designing and producing a large number of such weapons?

    According to Yang Zhen¡¯s own understanding, after the end of the Polish campaign, the big brother almost went crazy to expand tank troops and anti-tank troops.  All artillery produced must have anti-tank functions in addition to fire suppression.

    Although the requirements for raw materials are somewhat harsh, it is not a problem that is difficult to solve.  Although I can't give birth, it's not difficult for others.  The most important thing is that the process is simple, and the weapons that can be mass-produced in a short time are much stronger than the bulky anti-tank guns they produce.

    Although they killed a large number of outstanding commanders in their own counter-revolutionary campaign, Yang Zhen believed that the other party still had people who knew what they were doing.  There is still a market for this kind of weapon for the other party.

    As for the AK 47 rifle, it is even simpler. This weapon, which is extremely appealing to Big Brother, should arouse their interest after the small-scale war that made Big Brother almost a laughing stock around the world.  For Mosin Nagan rifles that have been produced for decades, the production line of this automatic rifle does not require large-scale changes.

    It is also suitable for 7.62mm rifle ammunition, but the ammunition production line with different lengths does not require large-scale changes to quickly produce output.  Big Brother, who already has two different 7.62mm bullet production lines for rifles and pistols, will not mind adding one.  As long as this weapon is applicable to them, it is also what they urgently need.

    The most important thing is that this weapon is simple in craftsmanship and easy to master.  It is simpler than their controversial SVT 40 semi-automatic rifle.  It is very suitable for the quality and training level of the current Soviet army.  As soon as this kind of rifle in later generations was put into production, it was a manifestation of the SKS semi-automatic rifle that had just been equipped for a short time and had the same excellent performance to be replaced as quickly as possible.

    The current Soviet army's mastery of weapons and training level should be inferior to those terrorists in Afghanistan who cannot read a word in later generations.  Yang Zhen really couldn't express these reasons.

    After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zhen did not tell them the answer directly. Instead, he smiled and asked a few people: "What do you think of these two weapons? Compared with the 38-type rifles, Czech-style rifles, and other weapons we are using now."  What are the advantages and disadvantages of rifles from various countries?"

    In response to Yang Zhen¡¯s rhetorical question, several people pondered for a moment.  In the end, the commander-in-chief who was fully involved in the trial production of this weapon answered first: "The automatic rifle you are talking about, although its range is a bit short compared to the rifles we use now, it has a fast rate of fire and fierce firepower. Its firepower is  The strength is no less than that of a light machine gun. From a pure point of view of the rate of fire, I think only two are needed, which is even enough to suppress the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun at close range."

    "This weapon uses short rifle bullets. Although the recoil is not small when fired continuously, it is still acceptable compared with various rifles and light machine guns used today, especially light machine guns.  Although the accuracy of its long-range bursts is somewhat unsatisfactory, the accuracy of burst fire is still good."

    "Although this kind of weapon has certain special requirements for raw materials, the actual production is very simple and easy to manufacture. It is also extremely easy for soldiers to master, which is very suitable for the actual acceptance ability of the illiterate soldiers in our country who make up the majority."

    "As for this anti-tank rocket launcher, although it also has some special requirements for raw materials, the production process is not complicated. As long as the raw materials are solved, it is still easy to manufacture. Although we cannot produce it, in industrially developed countries it is  Not a problem.¡±

    "I feel that this weapon can not only be used as an armored weapon to attack tanks and other armored weapons, but also to attack enemy fortifications. Although this thing cannot be compared with artillery in terms of power, it should be much lighter than a direct-fire artillery in terms of weight.  One soldier can do itoperate.  "

    "Deputy Commander Yang, if the two weapons you designed could be put into large-scale production, they would be epoch-making weapons. It's a pity that we don't have the conditions now."

    Regarding the commander-in-chief's regret, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, after all, our conditions are there. But it's just that the anti-tank rocket launcher cannot be produced, but although automatic rifles cannot be mass-produced, if we want to  We need to improve the process so that it can be produced in small batches, at least for the reconnaissance battalion. Tell those workers and masters that as long as they can extend the service life to 10,000 rounds, I will give them credit."

    "But don't use the barrel of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. Don't we still have some gun steel stocks? We will use these stocks for production. Although the life is shorter, it is still much better than nothing. As for the production of submachine guns,  We need gun steel, didn¡¯t those workers say, just use rail steel.¡±

    Yang Zhen was not too surprised that weapons like the AK 47 could not be produced.  The higher the rate of fire of a weapon, the higher the quality of steel required.  In addition to the gun steel made in Japan, which itself has less than ideal performance, I have high-manganese steel used in rails. Both of these steels are not suitable for making weapons with excessive fire rates.

    You must know that even the Type 92 heavy machine gun with the highest rate of fire among the Japanese army, this weapon should have a high rate of fire in theory, but in actual combat, it usually has a rate of fire of 250 rounds per minute.  If the rate of fire were higher, the barrel would be deformed within a short period of time.

    The nickel-chromium alloy steel used in AK 47 produced in the Soviet Union was not yet available for mass production after the founding of the People's Republic of China.  Domestic imitations of Type 56 submachine guns that use self-produced rare earth steel have deformed their barrels after firing a few thousand rounds, and simply cannot reach the designed service life of 10,000 rounds.  There is no way to compare with the ones originating in the Soviet Union.

    ¡°The gun steel I have on hand is made in Japan. Due to resource issues, the quality of steel is far inferior to that of the Soviet Union.  If the barrel produced in this way can reach the quality of the barrel used in the AK 47 rifle, it would really be hell.  Not to mention the quality of the Soviet-origin AK 47 rifle, the quality of the domestically produced Type 56, Yang Zhen was content with it.  After all, in terms of resources, no other country can compare with the behemoth that is the Soviet Union.

    However, Yang Zhen was not too strict with the quality requirements of the gun barrel.  Because this kind of gun itself has no plans for large-scale equipment.  Because he knew he couldn't afford it.  I just think it's okay to produce it in small quantities and use the equipment as a reconnaissance battalion for special forces.

    ¡° Moreover, there is no 7.62mm intermediate bullet used in the design of the gun itself, so it can only be replaced by modified Japanese 7.7mm heavy machine gun bullets. After all, this is not a long-term solution.  The use of weapons will also have an impact.  Therefore, Yang Zhen had no intention of mass production at all.  In Yang Zhen's heart, when the conditions are really right, it will be the Type 81 automatic rifle of later generations that will be replaced on a large scale, not the AK 47.

    At this point, Yang Zhen realized that he had gone off topic.  I should try to explain why these two weapons were not designed for myself, but were used to exchange supplies with the neighbor to the north.

    After thinking about it, Yang Zhen said: "The main reason why I want to design these two weapons is because although these two weapons are not suitable for us to use now, they are very suitable for the Soviets. You know, for the Soviets  In other words, they pay more attention to the intensity of firepower rather than accuracy."

    "Of course, the accuracy of their Mosin Nagan rifles is also excellent, no worse than the Type 38, which always emphasizes precise shooting. But for a battle, it is not just the shooting accuracy of the rifle that determines the outcome.  The degree of firepower delivered per unit time is an important aspect of victory."

    "In fact, except for this low-level war we are fighting with the Japanese, any developed country will no longer have such a war dominated by pure ground warfare, or even dominated by infantry weapons. Instead, it will be air-ground integration, with  Armored troops with a large amount of air cover are the main assault force, and the density of unit firepower is a criterion for victory."

    "In fact, the range of manual rifles currently equipped by various countries is no longer decisive for today's battles. Except for a small number of sniper rifles, no matter how elite your infantry is, no matter how accurate the individual soldier's shooting is,  High, but in most cases, the visual straight-line shooting distance will not exceed three hundred meters. In other words, the power of the rifle bullets we use now is somewhat excessive."

    "Modern warfare is different from the past. The consumption of resources and manpower is absolutely huge. This raises a problem. To achieve precise shooting, a rifleman needs a long period of training. But although the rifle he uses has a range of several thousand  meters, but he could only see clearly a few hundred meters away. And during wartime, it was impossible to have time to patiently train these soldiers.??¡±

    "This presents a contradiction. First, the training of riflemen takes a long time, and it is impossible to have a lot of time to train new recruits during wartime. This new recruit may have been a farmer, a student, or a worker.  , he may do a lot of things, but he has never used a gun, and he knows nothing about the use of guns.¡±

    "Although the rifles originally equipped had a long range, they had a slow rate of fire, and it took a long time to be used proficiently. However, during wartime, the actual range of the rifles was not that far, and it could not reach that far at all. How could this happen?  What to do? The rifle I designed is to solve this problem."

    "I have just said that modern warfare emphasizes the intensity of firepower. The range of a submachine gun is too close, and the recoil of a fully loaded rifle is too large. Once automatic shooting is adopted, the gun cannot be effectively controlled during fully automatic shooting.  The beating of the branches and the impact of the recoil. If the barrel is heavier and a bipod is used like a light machine gun, it will be too bulky and cannot be used as a weapon for infantry."

    "I shoot this kind of rifle within three hundred meters, and the accuracy is still good. It is also simple to use, and it does not take long to learn to use it. Its firepower is intensive, and it can completely suppress the opponent within three hundred meters.  A dozen manual rifles As for three hundred meters away, aren't there still light and heavy machine guns?"

    "The little Japanese are stingy, because they are too backward in terms of supplies and tactical thinking, and they pay too much attention to the accuracy of shooting and saving ammunition. But other countries are not so particular and are trying to improve the rate of fire of weapons. Especially  It is a big brother with very rich resources, and their production capacity is terrifying, which can fully meet the consumption of this weapon. I think this rifle will be very attractive to Big Brother."

    "Compared to this kind of automatic rifle, the anti-tank rocket launcher is more suitable for the military threat that Big Brother is facing now. What Big Brother the Soviet Union is facing is not what we are facing. It is only equipped with a few thin-skinned and large-filled tanks, which can be used in China.  The Japanese army is rampaging across the land. But it is the traditional powers such as Germany, Britain and France whose industrial development is far beyond theirs and can produce a large number of advanced tanks."

    "The current international situation is changing dramatically. Germany annexed the Czech Republic last year. Now its troops are directed at some countries in Eastern Europe. It can be said that the world war is now on the verge of breaking out. In the face of such turbulent international changes, our so-called  Big Brother is not a fool, they will make all preparations to go to war."

    "Foreign interference after the October Revolution showed that the Soviet Union, the first and currently only socialist country in the world, is undoubtedly a thorn in the side of the West. In other words, they have no friends in this world, as long as they are European and American  Developed countries may be their enemies."'

    "Whether it is against Britain, France, Germany, which is rapidly expanding, or even our current opponent Japan, they are all equipped with a large number of tanks. This means that while Big Brother is increasing the number of his own tanks, he also has to seek various countermeasures.  Tank weapons.¡±

    "To be honest, although the anti-tank rocket launcher I designed has relatively high requirements on raw materials, the production process is not very complicated. Although it is a bit harsh, it is very practical for the big brother of the Soviet Union. Think about it, once  When they go to war with Germany or Britain and France and face thousands of tanks, what threat will it bring to their opponents' tanks if every soldier is equipped with this simple-to-make, easy-to-operate individual anti-tank weapon?"

    "To be honest, the quality of the Soviet army's individual soldiers is not much better than ours. Many soldiers are illiterate or semi-illiterate. This requires that the weapons they equip should first be simple to operate and easy to maintain. Compared with the problems in equipment  Than, in terms of tactics, in addition to the sea of ????fire tactics, they also use the sea of ????human tactics. During the battle, they can form twelve or thirteen skirmisher lines."

    "This tactic will certainly bring huge psychological and tactical pressure to the enemy, but the loss of weapons will also be huge. This tactic not only requires the number of troops, but also requires the weapons used to be simple in craftsmanship and capable of being used.  Rapid mass production.¡±

    "So I think that in the face of the pressure of reality, Big Brother will definitely accept our two weapons. However, we still need to wait. It is not the time yet. Understanding new things always requires  a process."

    "As for why I designed these two weapons specifically for the Soviets, the reason is very simple. There is no free lunch in this world. We need a stable rear base that can accommodate the wounded. We need medicine and raw materials for making weapons.  and other necessary supplies. With all foreign aid cut off and our own inability to produce, we can only exchange things with them, our only close neighbor."

    "In addition to some Japanese military intelligence, we can exchange, only a few weapons I designed based on their future needs.  I can guarantee that when the time comes, they will need these two weapons.  "

    Yang Zhen is very shameless. I designed every one of them, Big Brother, according to their needs, which is very shameless.  What do you mean it will definitely be needed? These two weapons were designed and produced by others, right?  He stretched out his big hand and copied it directly. Instead of blushing, he actually gave people a feeling of pride.  If future generations saw it, they would definitely scold him for how he could be so shameless.

    After brazenly talking about the purpose of plagiarizing these weapons, Yang Zhen added: "There is no free lunch in this world. Just like what is said in the Internationale, there has never been any savior, everything can only depend on ourselves. Don't  It seems that our party and the Soviet Party share the same belief, but others have no obligation to support us."

    "We are now completely cut off from the central government, and we don't even have a number in the establishment of the National Government troops. Why should people offend a developed power because of us? For the big brother of the Soviet Union, they are too realistic  , at all times, their own interests come first. The so-called international obligations are just a slogan for them to strive for more interests for themselves."

    "In the current turbulent situation in Europe, they will not risk fighting on two fronts to offend the Japanese and provide us with large-scale assistance. But for us, this kind of assistance is often necessary  .What should we do to obtain necessary external assistance?"

    "There is only one answer, and that is an exchange of equal value. First, we use our strength to prove that the little devils will not dare to invade the north, and let the Soviet big brother know that supporting us is to stabilize his Asian defense line. Second, we can get some  Used to exchange materials and information to exchange needed materials.¡±

    "In the past, didn't the Seventh Army use intelligence in exchange for a small amount of support from the Soviet big brother? We must not only use intelligence, but also use weapons that are valuable to them, as well as some materials, and even gold, to purchase and exchange."

    "In the Lesser Khingan Mountains alone, there are several fairly large gold mines. Instead of letting the little devils use the gold they plundered from China's land to buy steel and oil, and in turn massacre the Chinese, it would be better for us to use it to fight against the Soviet Union  Big Brother buys some necessary supplies and equipment.¡±

    "With these things that can be exchanged, we no longer have to grovel to ask for assistance, but can exchange and purchase them as equals. Of course, complete equality is impossible. After all, our environment determines that we are still at a disadvantage for the time being.  . In the case of unequal strength, equality is just talk at best."

    "But at least we don't have to completely lose our dignity. We don't have to use all our strength to pray for such a pitiful help. For just tens of thousands of bullets, a little medicine. Or even hundreds of kilograms of grain, a few  Hundreds of cotton-padded clothes to sacrifice the blood and lives of soldiers."

    "This is why I know that these weapons are not suitable for the large amount of equipment we have now, and we have to design and even produce some of them. With the bargaining chip, we can strive for greater benefits for ourselves. No  If we lose the bargaining chip, we will have no choice but to let others take advantage of us.¡±

    At this point, Yang Zhen sighed and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I have marked out the types of alloy steel required to produce this automatic rifle. And the detailed information on the anti-tank rocket launcher is with you now.  You must keep it safe. You are proficient in Russian, so translate these materials first. Don¡¯t touch them now. I will tell you when you need them."
