    Although Yang Zhen's explanation was not fully understood by several people, they also knew that No. 1 had his own intentions in doing so. As the person present, in addition to Yang Zhen, who had the highest position, Wang Guangyu, who was a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Region Party Committee and deputy commander of the military region,  I already have basically unprincipled trust in Yang Zhen, so naturally I won¡¯t ask any more questions.

    As a veteran, Zhang Zhenhua naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask. Moreover, as a veteran of the Anti-Resistance Alliance who has fought under Yang Zhen since the Second Route Army was reorganized, he has experienced both the past and the present.  In comparison, Zhang Zhenhua's blind trust and obedience to Yang Zhen is no greater than that of Wang Guangyu.

    For Zhang Zhenhua, whatever decision Yang Zhen makes, no matter what the purpose is, he only needs to obey it. Anyway, it can only be a good thing for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and Zhang Zhenhua still has a clear understanding of his own abilities.  acquaintance,

    He knows that in terms of his own abilities, he is a good executor, but he is not a good decision-maker. Therefore, including when holding the Military Region Standing Committee, he has never made any remarks easily, let alone  He would have no doubts about Yang Zhen's decision-making, and he knew that the reason why No. 1 did this must be some special idea that needs to be kept secret.

    In fact, it is not just the two of them. The current Anti-League people, especially those who were born in the Anti-League themselves, are almost blindly convinced of Yang Zhen, the number one, although there are some internal adjustments.  The cadres who came here had some objections in their hearts, and some even privately criticized Yang Zhen for being dictatorial, but on the surface, they did not dare to speak out.

    Apart from Wang Guangyu and Zhang Zhenhua, Xiong Dazhen was the only one at the scene who opened his mouth to ask something. However, Zhang Zhenhua on the side secretly tugged his sleeve and stopped him from inquiring. In fact, Xiong Dazhen also knew that if No. 1  If I want to say something, I will tell myself a long time ago. If I don¡¯t want to say it, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t speak no matter how I ask.

    It's just that he is still a little bit unwilling to give up, trying to figure out what the mysterious No. 1 is going to do. Otherwise, curiosity will kill the cat. Everyone has their own curiosity, and as a top student in college,  Xiong Dazhen, a science and technology worker, obviously couldn't be refined, but his old friend stopped him from asking any more questions, so he couldn't say anything else.

    Although No. 1 always encourages himself to be curious, and often says that as a scientific and technical personnel in scientific research, he should remain curious about everything and have the decision to break the casserole and ask the truth, but Xiong Dazhen is even considered a nerd.  Qi, and also knew that the curiosity No. 1 mentioned was about military production, not about his decision-making.

    He also knew that he had just been reprimanded for a poor flattery. If he rashly went to get to the bottom of it, he might get reprimanded again. Therefore, Xiong Dazhen ignored Zhang Zhenhua's move to stop him secretly.  I was quite curious, but I didn't dare to ask again.

    The trials of new automatic rifles, squad light machine guns and recoilless rifles have been quite successful. Among the remaining anti-aircraft weapons, the twin-mounted 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine guns are capable of firing horizontally or in the air.  All showed extremely excellent performance,

    Although this kind of anti-aircraft machine gun is used in anti-air combat, compared with the Soviet-made 37-caliber medium-sized anti-aircraft gun, the range is still a little short and is not suitable for air defense in key areas, but the firepower density is higher than that of the Polish-made machine gun transferred from Jiangbei currently used by various troops.  The 20mm anti-aircraft gun is much larger and has much better performance.

    At present, in terms of ground support operations, in order to achieve the best accuracy, low-altitude dive bombing by light aircraft is still below 1,000 meters, and this altitude is within the 2,000-meter range of this machine gun.  The combat rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute is enough to kill all light bombers lacking effective armor that fall within its fire range.

    Except for the Americans who came from behind, no one in this era has the luxury of using medium bombers for ground support. During combat, every return artillery shell on the ground may attract a large number of B-25 and 26-type bombers from the US military.  Bombers carried out carpet bombing,

    Except for the twin-engine A-20 and 26 attack aircraft with a bomb load comparable to the medium bombers of other countries, as well as the Navy's carrier-based aircraft, the U.S. Army Aviation basically does not have ground tactical support aircraft.  In addition to the use of the fleshy P-47 and 38-type fighter jets for ground attack, basically medium-sized bombers are dispatched for carpet bombing operations.

    The Americans have great financial power and have the confidence and capital. Other countries would not have the capital to dispatch a group of medium-sized bombers to carry out carpet bombing for a tactical support. And for the 1997 and 99 bombers currently used by the Japanese army,  Type 8 and Type 99 are the three main light bombers. The power and range of this double-fourteen anti-aircraft machine gun are sufficient.

    This kind of anti-aircraft machine gun is not inferior to, or even surpasses the 20mm anti-aircraft gun.The intensity of its firepower is also much higher than that of the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns currently used by various countries, and it is also much lighter than the medium-sized anti-aircraft guns. The most important thing is that the quantity produced and designed by ourselves is  It is sufficient and can effectively change the previous situation of insufficient air defense firepower for troops below the regiment level.

    What makes Yang Zhen most satisfied is that the ground shooting ability of this machine gun fully meets his requirements. A Japanese machine gun fire point with a brick-concrete structure next to the shooting range is specially used as a target. During the shooting of this machine gun,  Next, within a few minutes, a big hole was made.

    Next, within an effective range of one thousand meters, a scrapped Japanese Type 95 light tank was beaten into a colander, and a row of half-thick wooden piles were all broken up. According to the Japanese army's standard field machine gun  The fortifications built at the firepower point were all penetrated, and the wooden piles used to replace people inside were all smashed.

    When it was shooting at the ground, it showed penetrating power and power. Even Wang Guangyu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was a little frightened when he saw it: "This kind of machine gun can deal with tanks so easily. If it hits a person, wouldn't it be a hit?"  It can cut a person into two pieces, my dear, this is as powerful as a small-caliber artillery piece.¡±

    "But a twin-mounted machine gun is comparable to a 37th War anti-artillery company when it comes to anti-armor and dealing with fortifications. If all regiment-level units in the army are equipped with this weapon, then  Coupled with the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun equipped at the battalion level, this little devil may be asking for blessings on the battlefield. "

    Regarding Wang Guangyu's somewhat shocked look, Yang Zhen smiled secretly in his heart: "The ammunition used in this machine gun was originally the ammunition used by the 14mm anti-tank guns that the Soviet army equipped in large quantities during World War II. This weapon  Of course, it has no armor capability. Although it cannot deal with the German Tiger, Leopard and Type IV medium and heavy tanks, it can definitely deal with the Japanese light tanks. "

    "And the biggest advantage of this machine gun is not only its firepower density, but also its huge lethality against lightly armored targets and civil fortifications when used on the ground, as well as its ease of use.  It has the advantages of flexibility and light weight compared with other anti-aircraft guns.¡±

    "Otherwise, the two largest users, as well as the development and production countries, China and the Soviet Union, have retired. Why are there so many countries in the world that have a large amount of equipment, even in their own armies, and there is still an irreplaceable  Although the main business of the weapon has changed from air combat to ground combat, it also illustrates the tenacious vitality of this machine gun. "

    When he thought of the power displayed by this kind of machine gun mounted on a pickup truck in some war-torn countries in later generations, which was more flexible and powerful enough during the civil war, Yang Zhen felt a little emotional. The existence of a weapon depends on time.  The length and service life can not only be determined by whether it is advanced or not, but also

    Rather, it depends on the existence and use value of this weapon, and whether it can adapt to the needs of the troops. In a word, the lifespan of any weapon depends on its adaptability, just like the AK 47 automatic rifle in later generations.  Because the leather is durable and powerful, the most important thing is that it is easy to operate. Although there are some regrets in terms of accuracy, the accuracy of continuous firing is too poor.

    But compared to the American-made M14 rifle of the same era, or even released later than it, its long service life and wide range of use are almost scary. Even in the 21st century when I traveled through time, this weapon is still  It is far from time to completely disappear and withdraw from the stage of history.

    Even with all kinds of new weapons emerging in an endless stream, their imitations are still the most widely spread light weapons in the world. Even though the light weapons of the same era have basically been retired, they still continue to be produced and have become  A considerable number of countries' standard small arms, even American soldiers, use them in large quantities when performing certain special tasks.

    The long life of this weapon only illustrates one problem, that is, this weapon is extremely adaptable. Its simple structure and easy operation can meet the needs of most countries. The M43 bullets it uses, although there are such and  Such shortcomings, but for most countries, the power is enough.

    The same is true for this 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun. In later generations, although most of this kind of machine gun has been retired in the Chinese Army, and even the reserve forces have basically been retired, it is so wide in distribution that it is almost  No less than the AK 47 rifle,

    Although in its birthplace, the Soviet army did not have the equipment for a few years and then retired, this cannot explain the performance shortcomings of this weapon. It is not suitable for the Soviet army that has been fully mechanized, but it does not mean that it is not suitable for other countries, or even  Many countries that do not use Soviet-style weapons as their standard equipment and have a large amount of US aid also have a large amount of equipment, which is enough to illustrate the excellent performance of this weapon.

    All countries in the world that are at war??, it is almost everywhere, and you can hear the howl it makes when shooting, whether it is in the sweltering Middle East or North Africa, or in that Central Asian country with harsh natural conditions and a large number of illiterates and semi-illiterates.  Demonstrating extremely high reliability,

    Later generations had used this kind of machine gun for training, and when they were performing secret missions in that war-torn country, Yang Zhen was beaten miserably by this kind of machine gun with extremely excellent shooting performance at a high elevation angle. The reliability of its performance can be appreciated.  To say that I appreciate it quite a bit,
