Chapter 543: Be cautious when modifying the production process
When the meeting ended, the comrades in the armored force looked happy. If the imitation of 5DL was successful and gave them a handy weapon, then this second-generation If the tank is built according to this plan, it will not be a matter of taking advantage, it will be far ahead!
They expressed their sincere gratitude to the designer of the tank and shook hands with them one by one. From the chief engineer to the ordinary designers, no one was left behind, especially Gao Zhendong, who rang the gong nine out of ten times. The command vehicle and reconnaissance vehicle not long ago were still looking for him.
When Gao Zhendong was leaving, the leader of the Defense Work Committee said goodbye to him and said with a smile: "The running on the ground is pretty much the same."
Think about it carefully, it is indeed the same. , except for artillery, a large number of army weapons have basically taken shape. As for artillery, ahem, it is still good now. With the help of Lao Maozi, these iron lumps are basically on the same level as the world's leading level. In other words, there are no obvious shortcomings and shortcomings.
Individual weapons, anti-tank weapons, and armored equipment have all been systematized, and with the help of Gao Zhendong, they are all 5 to 20 years ahead. Of course, others don’t know about this 5 to 20 years. Only Gao Zhendong knew it himself.
Even in terms of artillery, it is not completely unimpeded. At least in the artillery confrontation, the anti-artillery radar that has been activated can give the enemy's supporting artillery group a little shock.
The long-range support artillery has been suppressed, so the rest can be easily solved.
Although the fighting in the S1 trench was so brutal and lively, what actually determined the outcome of both sides was the artillery group that did not meet each other and could only greet each other warmly with artillery shells.
——Modern warfare is artillery warfare.
At least this was the case in 1960, with the Air Force unable to play a decisive role.
But when Gao Zhendong heard this, he felt something was wrong. Leader, what do you mean by this?
The Army is almost done. Are you suggesting that I look at the Air Force and Navy?
It’s going on, it’s going on, it’s not like you don’t know.
Although he didn't know whether the leader meant this, Gao Zhendong's own head turned in that direction first.
The reason is simple - the Army alone is not enough.
However, as typical high-tech arms, the navy and air force are not just burning money and resources. They are very difficult.
Coincidentally, Gao Zhendong's advantage lies in high technology. If the money is burned well, it can have unexpected effects and at the same time it does not cost too much.
According to Gao Zhendong’s own analysis, the window period is still there.
On March 4th, Saturday, Gao Zhendong, as one of the researchers, participated in the formal finalization meeting of the Type 61 gun family.
This finalization meeting went very smoothly. After all, after many tests, the Syracuse Experimental Center also gave a complete evaluation.
The language used by Syracuse is very objective, but it has excellent performance as a foundation. The more objective the language is, the more it can explain the quality of this gun family. As the old saying goes, you have to be strong to make iron.
As for the bullet, it goes without saying. Anyway, it is 7.62*39, and this cannot be changed.
"To sum up, the proportion of common parts of this gun family is as high as 75%, realizing the universal use of weapons and ammunition for the team. It has good accuracy within 400 meters and high reliability. It can be reliably used nationwide in our country and is easy to use in the vehicle. "Operation."
Professor Liu is giving a report. This sentence is used reliably across the country, which represents the hard work of the testers traveling all over the country, on the plateau, in extreme cold and heat, and in the Gobi desert. Oh, by the way. , and the classic quicksand river water.
At this time, there are many projects that Syracuse can test, but there are not enough. Sometimes, local methods and on-site tests are needed.
Fortunately, our territory is large enough, with various terrains and climates. Except for the fjord terrain, we have all the terrain in the world. However, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have the fjord terrain. We are here to protect ourselves. I don't want to invade others.
"...The gun-mounted grenade launcher supporting the gun family has a vertical armor-breaking performance of 65mm, a shrapnel killing radius of 10 meters, and an effective range of 100 meters against armored targets and 400 meters against personnel. It can effectively serve as an infantryman While supporting firepower, compared with rifle grenades, it has a longer range, higher accuracy, lighter weight, larger ammunition capacity, and easier operation..."
A middle-aged army comrade who participated in the meeting listened to the report. , while touching the Type 61 assault rifle in his hand fondly, he said with emotion: "This gun is good, and this gun can be hung with grenades. This is the cannon in the hands of the infantry! If I could have had this set of things, let alone attack the county town , hum..."
In addition to the report and introduction, basically no comrades raised any objections during the entire training meeting. Instead, middle-aged comrades from the Army made another request: "Professor Liu, the test results in Xuecheng We have all seen it, and we can see that the things are very solid. But this is a finalization meeting. How can we call it a finalization meeting if we don’t try it ourselves? Can you please make arrangements for us to try it out? Whether it’s a mule or a horse, I’ll just walk away.”
Hey, chief, don’t we know what you are thinking?
Normally, in this kind of shaping meeting, there is no need to shoot the comrades. The comrades who should be beaten have already been beaten until they feel like vomiting.
However, the preparations of Beijing University of Technology are very complete. Some comrades are just itchy because they cannot prepare themselves, so the shooting range has already been prepared.
Seeing that there is no problem with this thing being officially finalized, all the participating comrades also relaxed. Since there are middle-aged comrades who want to have fun, let's go and enjoy it together.
On the shooting range, all the comrades were shooting openly, but looking at everyone’s playful shooting style, it really didn’t have much to do with the final test.
On the contrary, the middle-aged comrade who proposed to have a good time was very serious. He tried assault rifles, machine guns, single shots, short bursts, long bursts, and continuous fires one by one. As he tried, the smile on his face became wider.
“Exciting!” “Enjoyable!”
“Hi, accurate! Accurate!”
“This is good, this is good!”
Such similar words never stopped coming from his mouth.
Under the guidance of the staff, he learned how to operate a grenade on a gun, and with one shot from a distance, he smashed all the balloon targets within a ten-meter radius of the target 400 meters away, with a smile on his face. Extremely big.
"Okay! Okay! Great! I didn't expect that we can also use this thing! It's very powerful and accurate. If you learn better, it's not too difficult to make perforations from a hundred meters away."< br>
Smiling, his laughter deepened again, his eyes sparkling, as if he remembered the figures holding explosive bags and blasting tubes in their hands, rushing or crawling in the hail of bullets.
Some of them succeeded, but many more fell in the short distance of 100 meters.
The comrade touched the still hot launch tube: "Okay, okay! It must be popularized, and it must be popularized quickly!"
A comrade next to him said softly: "Chief, this is also It can be mounted on a semi-automatic. "
"Okay! Professor Liu, you have thought carefully about this thing!"
Professor Luo, who made the gun grenade, did not dare to take credit, pointed out. He pointed to Gao Zhendong, who was shooting next to him, and the bullets were intact: "Comrade Gao Zhendong presided over and guided us to make this gun-mounted grenade."
The head of the army looked at it. Looking at Gao Zhendong, he smiled and said: "Well, he, I know, a soldier from the army! He's great!"
Although I have never met Gao Zhendong, I still know his reputation. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved. Look at that gun, it is really accurate!
The table tennis was lively for a while, and then everyone returned to the venue.
During the whole meeting, Gao Zhendong basically didn’t say much, and there was no need for him to speak. The facts spoke for themselves. He was just here to fight.
However, in the final follow-up work proposal, Gao Zhendong took the initiative to mention a requirement: "Each production factory shall not modify the manufacturing process of firearms without review and technical appraisal."
< br>The production process of the Type 61 has tried its best to consider production convenience, and made a lot of reasonable simplifications on the basis of the AK-47 and its imitation models.
What is not consistent with the popular reputation of "cheap and plentiful" is that in the early days of the AK-47, the price was not cheap at all. The production process was actually quite complicated, and the stock was still made of wood.
The really cheap ones are the later improved and imitation versions, such as ours.
The good reputation of the counterfeit version is put on the head of the original version. How can this be justified?
The craftsmanship of Type 61 has been simplified to a reasonable limit under Gao Zhendong's suggestion and Professor Liu's research. If it is simpler, problems will arise.
The suggestion made by Gao Zhendong has a clear direction. It is the sequelae brought to him by the gun that combined step and thrust in his previous life.
The foundation of that gun is actually good. Putting aside the slightly outdated combat ideas, at least the reliability should not be so bad in the first place. Even after a few decades, the precision shooter rifles that all countries have stuffed into their teams, in terms of their essence, , what's the difference between it and that gun?
Although Citigroup's M14 has long been retired, its descendants have never disappeared from their army. In fact, the roots are similar.
But the bad thing about that gun is the production process that was randomly "optimized".
Gao Zhendong, who was foresighted, took advantage of the opportunity of the 61 gun clan to be finalized and wrote this request into a formal document. He must not only completely eliminate, but at least suppress the occurrence of this phenomenon to a large extent. Made.
As for the request made by Gao Zhendong, at this time, everyone did not realize the seriousness of the matter if it really came true. However, they felt that Mr. Gao’s proposal was a good one and the production process had rules. How can this rule be broken at will?
Although I thought Gao Zhendong was a bit unfounded, I still agreed that this request was reasonable and appropriate, and it was written into the appraisal report.
The Type 61 rocket launcher and the Type 61 squad gun were later the legendary three treasures of the infantry. Now there is only the Type 61 individual anti-tank missile.
Gao Zhendong returned home happily, but Lou Xiaoe arrived before him.
As soon as she saw Gao Zhendong entering the house, Lou Xiaoe walked up happily, even putting aside the usual hot tea, and took out a stack of paper.
“Zhendong, what do you think I brought back?”
