Chapter 417: A few years ago, we had nothing, but now we have everything
Compared to Fengtian, Ding Wei may prefer Harbin.
The sound of steam whistles along the Songhua River broke the early morning. The north freezes early, and a thick layer of ice forms on the river surface.
But the water on the shipping company's side remains ice-breaking, making it convenient to test the newly built inland gunboats.
It’s too cold, it’s too cold in the north.
I really don’t know how the Japanese survived the cold winter. How many people would freeze to death?
Hundreds of people, or thousands?
It’s not that Ding Wei felt sorry for them, but even if a thousand people froze to death, another thousand would have to be replenished to ensure that the Russians and the Japanese continued to lose blood.
The more deaths the better.
Ding Wei has been thinking about suppressing the guerrillas recently, so that they can keep lingering on and continue to bleed the Far East Army.
I can maintain a good relationship with Maozi and get some support.
If we take the enemy as our imaginary enemy, the first obstacle we cannot overcome is tanks. North Manchuria, which can only produce BT-7 fast tanks, has no ability to compete with T44 and IS3 tanks.
Even though the T34 was a tank with major defects, Ding Wei was unable to produce it with the military industrial capabilities he had.
You need to develop a lot of skills and at least develop some technology trees before you can compete with others.
Which bridge should be blown up?
Or which section of railway was dug up?
There is an urgent need to make breakthroughs in military technology to make up for the gap in strength between the two sides.
It’s a pity for the tank and aircraft factories. They should first achieve self-production and then consider other performance.
The only thing that might be gratifying is the arsenal. After mastering the artillery steel technology, it also absorbed the artillery manufacturing technology of both the Japanese and the Russians.
The 122mm howitzer and 155mm howitzer were successfully copied.
Why was 155mm caliber chosen for the large-caliber howitzer?
Because a 152mm shell with a belt may be able to be fired. But if a 152mm howitzer captures a 155mm howitzer shell, you can only dismantle the mixed gunpowder.
Only men can understand the charm of caliber justice. Ding Wei is already a top figure who controls hundreds of thousands of troops, but he still feels satisfied when he sees the gun barrels displayed in the arsenal.
Needless to say, the technical difficulty of mortars is lower than that of conventional artillery.
大口径迫击炮240mm、160mm、120毫米、107毫米、82毫米、60毫米全套均可生产。
The most skilled are rifles, with semi-automatic rifles and fully automatic rifles completing the production line.
Ding Wei had both Japanese technicians and technical workers from Dezi. He combined the technical characteristics of both sides and plagiarized some of the skills of the Russians.
Gather everyone's strengths, optimize your own weapons and equipment, and adjust them. Only those that are suitable for your own use are good things.
Performance is just data on paper. A good weapon is one that is suitable for the troops.
Accompanied by Zhou Weiguo, Duan Peng, who was from the special forces, also wanted to fire two shots with the mortar.
Ding Wei stopped him. The shells were hard to come by, so why waste them?
After coming out of the arsenal, Ding Wei questioned the factory's production capacity.
With the current capacity to produce artillery and firearms, how many people can be equipped?
The monthly production of heavy artillery is about 20 pieces, and the monthly production of automatic rifles is 8000.
He had hundreds of thousands of people under his command, and the number of guns and ammunition he needed was enormous, which was far from enough relying solely on the military factories in North Manchuria.
It’s time to make a breakthrough in core technology, and we must dig up the railway lines.
He turned around and told Zhou Weiguo:
"I still have a large number of grenade launchers. These things should have been eliminated long ago. Throw them to Zhou Zhujun to strengthen their firepower."
"There's been a lot of commotion along the Outer Xing'an Mountains. Contact Wang Yong secretly to see if he can launch a sabotage operation on the Siberian Railway. No matter the cost, take away a few kilometers of railway for me."
"Not so good, we just got on better terms."
Ding Wei laughed and said, the railway destroyed by the Japanese has nothing to do with me, Ding Wei.
We should do what we need to do. Only by destroying the other party's railway line will they place more orders with the North Manchuria factory.
Compared with transporting materials from the distant Midwest, isn’t it more convenient to purchase from the Northeast?
Perhaps we can strengthen cooperation and promote the issue of industrial assistance.
Zhou Weiguo nodded vigorously. He would arrange these two things personally to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
After coming out of the military factory, he suggested that Duan Peng and I go for a stroll and take a look at Harbin.
During this year or so, Ding Wei had been leading assaults in the army and had eliminated a large number of elite troops. He was physically and mentally exhausted.
It's a rare sight to see snow, so I want to walk around the streets and feel the human touch of Harbin.
The weather is getting warmer every day after the New Year, but people on the streets still have to wear thick coats.
Not everyone can withstand the severe cold, and frostbite is enough to kill many people.
……
The people of Greater Khingan Range acted quickly. The severe cold could only bother the lazy but not the brave. As long as they could cause damage, large numbers of soldiers would go out in the cold.
Even if you put your hands on the railroad tracks, they will stick to the railroad tracks due to the freezing cold.
Do not hinder the group of people from moving around. Move out in batches, focus on large sections of railroad tracks, and remove them smoothly.
It doesn't have to be transported away, you can just throw it away.
It would be fine to find an ice hole and sink into the water, but as long as the railway was damaged, it would inevitably cause logistics tension in the Far East.
The Far Eastern Army's logistics are tight, so they can spend a comfortable winter.
Planes were dispatched from North Manchuria and secretly airdropped large quantities of winter supplies and combat supplies to the Greater Khingan Range.
These days, without satellites and effective anti-reconnaissance means, we can really take advantage of loopholes and do whatever we want.
Ding Wei was in a good mood today. He stood on the balcony enjoying the breeze and picked up a glass of wine, sipping it slowly.
Then he frowned,
“I don’t know how to taste wine.”
When I put down my wine glass, I received an effective and reasonable reminder sound.
[Sabotage the continental bridge, accidentally obtain 1 piece of jet fighter production data, 1 piece of rocket launcher research data, 1 piece of fire control radar technology, and 1 piece of new gunpowder technology. ]
There was no large amount of weapons and equipment rewarded as before, but instead three very useful research materials were obtained.
In particular, the research data on fire control radar and jet fighters were enough to fill the gap in military technology in North Manchuria.
At least we can produce cannons and tanks domestically, and regardless of their performance, they can be supplied to the troops for use.
However, there is a large gap in the aircraft sector, and propeller fighters are becoming obsolete. If a jet fighter can be built, it will at least be able to support the Far East.
The news of the railway being attacked spread to the two Far Eastern fronts. Several kilometers of railway were torn away. Who was supposed to repair it in the ice and snow?
A vicious curse immediately spread within the army, cursing the culprit to give birth to a child without a butt.
Ding Wei didn't care whether the Japanese children had butts or not. He just wanted to pay attention to whether the research data on rocket launchers was feasible or not.
When we wanted to ask the Russians for rocket launcher technology, they kept it secret and were unwilling to give it to us.
The other is gunpowder technology, which requires both technology and production conditions.
The greater the power of the gunpowder, the greater the blessing it will naturally provide to the weapon.
This is a debugging process. If too much gunpowder is added, the barrel may easily explode.
There is not enough gunpowder, the artillery's range and power are not enough.
No matter what, Ding Wei's military technology will definitely reach a higher level because of this award.
