Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"Oh oh oh!"

"Success!"

"Stop, stop," the cheers of Tang Hua and other researchers stopped, and then stopped their enthusiastic applause, "The low-altitude balloon shooting test is just a step in the development of anti-aircraft missiles. Next, we will analyze the film and consider Check if there is room for improvement. Then proceed to the production of the next batch of sample bombs. In December, conduct a target shooting test with a towed target drone at low and medium altitudes!"

Balloon target shooting in early November, and towed target drone shooting in early December. If it goes well, it can be finalized at the end of December. If it doesn’t go well, it needs to be improved, adjusted and tested again, wasting a working cycle, and finalized in early January.Then it is necessary to bring the General Administration of Ordnance Industry and the Equipment Department into the group for mass production, refitting and training of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment.When will it be able to form a combat force and enter the DPRK to participate in the war, it depends on how well the equipment department coordinates.

It was already 9 pm when the convoy returned to the city from the missile range.Fortunately, I insisted on first building a surface-to-air missile range near Beijing. If I chose a place in Inner Mongolia as the range, it would be compatible with future long-range surface-to-air missiles and even ballistic missiles, but it would take a whole day to get there from Beijing. , To do three rounds of range tests, 6 days will be wasted on the road, which will affect the development cycle too much.

"Tang Hua! Oh, I'm going to Dalian again."

After tossing about the missile test and just sat back at his desk, Tang Hua answered Liu Nai's call from his office in the morning.

"Old Liu, is there a problem with the supply of ammunition on the front line? I just came back for three days and went to Dalian to supervise the battle?"

"There is a problem that some ammunition is in short supply," Liu Nai said, "That is the 40 rounds, and now the frontline soldiers are crazy when they hit 40 rounds. On October 10th, I stocked up on rockets that can last for about 25 days. , It’s only been a week now, all of them have been distributed, and the border warehouses are basically empty.”

Tang Hua: ...

Well, it happens to be going to the General Staff in the afternoon, so let's ask about the situation.

……

"Yunshan has already been captured, right?" Tang Hua, as the person in charge of the computer of the 50th Center, flipped through the deciphered telegrams and battle reports from the intelligence center as usual. "What? Annihilate the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the [-]st U.S. Cavalry Division?"

"From the night of November 11st to the early morning of November 1rd, our army killed or captured more than 11 American soldiers," said Xu Shuai, who was on duty at the Beijing Intelligence Center today. Destroyed 3 vehicles, the command organization of their regiment-level combat team was wiped out, the commander was captured by our army after being injured, and captured the regiment flag of the 2000th Cavalry Regiment. Combining these conditions, there is no doubt that the designation of the US 8th Cavalry Regiment , has disappeared from the Korean battlefield.”

Looking at our army's combat briefing, Tang Hua knows why the supply of 40 fire is in short supply.

From the evening of November 11st to the early morning of November 1nd, our army broke into Yunshan in one fell swoop, tearing up the defenses of the US and South Korean troops. By dawn, the US military had only one stronghold in the south of Yunshan City. During the daytime on the 11nd, the 2th Cavalry Regiment learned that the reinforcements of the 2th Cavalry Regiment had been blocked, so they took the lead with more than 8 tanks and left Yunshan to attack southward.

The troops surrounded by the southern stronghold of Yunshan City were intensively bombed by the U.S. Air Force. Although they still held on to their positions and cut off some fleeing U.S. troops with their weapons, the remnants of the 8th Cavalry Regiment generally broke through and continued to drive south along the highway. In, collided with the 119th Regiment of the 357th Division.

In the two regiments in this area, Zhang Xinquan ordered the 343 regiment to face south to fight for aid, and the 357 regiment to face north to fight the enemy who broke through the encirclement. The 357th Regiment and the 8th Cavalry Regiment were the first to meet each other, and fired more than 20 rockets in one volley...

According to the configuration on October 10, each company of the Volunteer Army has 25 firearms and 3 firearms, and each regiment has 40 firearms. Relying on the foxholes and trench lines beside the road, the 27th Regiment entangled most of the tank battalion, half of the mechanized infantry battalion, and an artillery battalion of the 357th Cavalry Regiment here.The battle became fierce. Lieutenant Colonel Palmer, the commander of the 8th Cavalry Regiment, jumped onto a "Sherman" himself, spread out the formation and tried to break through the defense line and escape. As a result, the tank was hit by 8 concentrated fire and penetrated into the The jet of copper liquid in the tank directly burned his left ankle joint. Palmer fell headlong in the tank, and then was lifted out of the tank by our army and sent to the field hospital for emergency treatment.

"This 40 fire is not only powerful, but also accurate and far away," Xu Shuai said. "Within 300 meters, it means where to hit. If it is 600 meters, it means where to hit. If you can hit tanks, you can also hit. Bunker fortifications, so the ammunition consumption is very fast."

"Look, although Zhisi issued a circular criticizing the 360 ​​regiment's waste of ammunition, what was Zhisi's previous letter? It was a letter of praise," Tang Hua flipped through the telegram, "combined to understand the two orders, I think the front-line commanders understand: Look at the 360 ​​regiment. There was no rocket launcher in the past, and they would be driven around by tanks. Now as long as they don’t care about wasting ammunition, a tank and me can make them kneel here for a day. This is actually an encouragement When the front-line troops saw tanks, they would shoot rockets without asking for money.”

"Hehe, really." Xu Shuai also laughed, "Liu Nai should have left for Dalian by now, I think the production of the 40 fires will have to be doubled."

Tang Hua stared at a deciphered telegram for a long time.This is a telegram from Guy, the commander of the [-]st U.S. Cavalry Division, to his superiors.

"The Chinese army is almost entirely dominated by infantry. During the three days of fighting, my division did not find that the Chinese army had tanks, armored vehicles or self-propelled artillery. But their infantry showed extraordinary capabilities..."

"...the Chinese army is a master of the art of camouflage. During the day they are able to hide without being seen. They are able to march large numbers of troops across difficult terrain by night without being detected by the enemy. "

"... Contrary to the lack of heavy equipment, the firepower of the Chinese infantry is very fierce. All our troops who have fought against China have confirmed that the Chinese army all use semi-automatic rifles, and have a considerable number of submachine guns and automatic rifles (squad machine guns) .”

"There are anti-tank rocket launchers in the Chinese army. Judging from the sound of the launch, they are not captured or provided by the Soviet Union. Bazooka, super bazooka. These rocket launchers have caused great losses to our army in the past three days of fighting .”

"The grenade raid is the prelude to any attack by the Chinese army..."

Chapter 75, Shen Fei and Shen Dan

Now is the final stage of the first campaign.

After the Yunshan battle, Walker finally realized that the positions of the US and South Korean armies were extremely unreasonable.The various ministries are scattered in regiments in the mountains of northern Korea, and cannot directly support each other.In the past week, not only several regiments of the South Korean Army were beaten badly, but the 8th regiment of the [-]st U.S. Cavalry Division simply finished playing in Yunshan, and a division headquarters of the [-]st South Korean Division was also hired.

From November 11rd, Walker ordered the troops to shrink, and the Volunteers carried out a brief pursuit. All the troops of the Eighth Army that were too sudden retreated to the Qingchuan River, and regrouped on the south bank of the river that flows obliquely from northeast to southwest into the Yellow Sea.Walker plans to gather the 3nd, 8th, and 2th Divisions of the US Army, the 24th Brigade of the British Army, and the remaining two-thirds of the 25st US Cavalry Division on the south bank of the Qingchuan River. The remaining South Korean divisions on the line, South 27, South 6, and South 7, were responsible for covering the flanks.Next, it is the content of the second battle on the Western Front.

The volunteer army also needs to stop for a few days at this time, not because of too many casualties, but because of insufficient ammunition supply.

First of all, the 40-fire ammunition that everyone loves consumes a lot.If you want to continue to advance in depth, in addition to the amount of ammunition carried by the bazooka squad (the three-person team carries a total of 14 rounds), a base number of ammunition should also be stocked for military division-level supplies.But now, even though Anton's Volunteer Army Logistics Headquarters has emptied the warehouse, it can't meet the supply requirements.By November 11rd, not only did the military divisions have no ammunition reserves to supply the front line, but the frontline troops generally only had 3 to 4 rockets per bazooka. The three divisions that had just finished the Yunshan battle, and even many bazooka teams had only 8 rocket left. .

All semi-automatic rifles have also increased the consumption of bullets a lot.During the Battle of Yunshan, the 39th Army’s nighttime raid routine has evolved to be close to the enemy. The first round of grenade bombardment, and then all the short-range rifles at close range. It turned into shell casings that fell to the ground.Fortunately, after Liu Nai arrived in Dalian in September, he immediately adjusted the production of Jianxin Company, and stopped the Japanese, American and other miscellaneous bullet production lines, which greatly increased the output of 9X7.62 ammunition. At present, the supply of bullets is still no problem, that is, the transportation team After entering North Korea, marching is more troublesome.

"Tang Hua, I have an idea." Liu Nai made a long-distance call to Tang Hua the second day after he arrived in Dalian, "The demand for 40-fire ammunition on the front line is too great now, and I plan to reserve it for the workshop for the production of anti-aircraft missiles. Use it to expand the production capacity of 40 fires, and then transfer the production of anti-aircraft missiles to Shenyang, where there is the Fengtian Arsenal and the No.30 Eighth Factory of the Air Force.”

"The mass production date of anti-aircraft missiles is scheduled for January 1th. If the production adjustment in Shenyang can be completed at this time point, then it will be fine." Tang Hua said, "However, the workload of processing aluminum materials for anti-aircraft missiles is relatively large. It would be better to bring together Shenyang's Fengtian Armory and Air Force No.15 No. 30 Factory, ... but this matter has to be found in the Air Force."

"It's easy to find the Air Force. We cooperated with the Air Force to develop guided bombs in the first half of the year, and we cooperated very well."

Tang Hua put down the phone.

The Air Force is really happy to cooperate with the General Administration of Ordnance Industry and the Electronic Information Industry Bureau. Liu Yelou and Chang Qiankun come to ask if there are any secret weapons used by the Air Force...

Taking out the map of Shenyang, Tang Hua stared at Beiling District in the north of downtown Shenyang for a long time.

In the 20s, the Feng faction warlords ruled the Northeast.Zhang Zuolin, who likes fighting and loves farming, established the air force, oil depots, airports and aviation (repair) factories, laying the foundation for the aviation industry in the three northeastern provinces.

After the September 918 incident, all the belongings of the Feng family were taken away by Japan. In September 1932, Japan established Manchuria Aviation Co., Ltd. on the basis of the aviation (repair) factory. In 9, it moved to the current Beiling and changed its name to Manchuria Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Here, Japan has produced parts for "Zero", "Tianshan", and "Gale", and can carry out overhaul of Japanese fighter engines and aircraft.

In 1946, the government took over the factory. After the Liaoshen Campaign ended in 1948, it was taken over by our army. It is still called No.30 No. [-] Factory of the Air Force.

Now the No.30 No.15 Plant of the Air Force is mainly engaged in the production of parts and aircraft repairs. However, it has gradually evolved from overhauling the Japanese and American propeller planes in the uprising to repairing the MiG-[-].

Anti-aircraft missiles have a large number of aluminum structural components, and factories with the ability to overhaul aircraft must have the ability to process, assemble and rivet aluminum materials.

Therefore, Factory 38 must be brought in.

Therefore, the future "Shen Fei" will be split into two, one is Shen Fei who builds aircraft, and the other is Shen Fei who builds missiles. ... I don't know if there is enough land in Beiling District.

Shenyang South Railway Station.

While Tang Hua was drawing the land allocation of the two military-industrial complexes on the map of Shenyang, more than a dozen trains stopped at the South Station, and the 9th Corps of the People’s Liberation Army—now called the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army—disembarked here.

"Didn't you say that the train went straight to the border between China and North Korea? Why did it temporarily stop in Shenyang?" Zhang Xiangyi, commander of the 20th Army, asked the logistics department personnel of the border defense army who came to fight.

"Under Zhisi's order, you stay in Shenyang... for 36 hours," the chief of the logistics department in charge of quilts held a not-so-thin work record sheet, "Before entering the court, you must complete the change of clothes, from head to toe."

After the Battle of Penghu, Commander Su formed the 9th Corps to liberate Taiwan Island, integrating the three most capable armies under the command of Sanye: 20th Army, 26th, and 27th Army, and expanded each army of this Corps into four division. In September 1950, after instability in the Korean War, the General Staff transferred the 9th Corps to Shandong for training. It was also a two-handed preparation: if Taiwan was still liberated, it could return to the southeast coast via Shanghai; if it wanted to support the Northeast, it could quickly go from North China Rush to the northeast.

At the end of October, the 10th Corps of the Volunteer Army entered the DPRK, and the 13th Corps was ready to leave for the Northeast as the second Corps to enter North Korea to fight. On November 9, when the train of the 11th Corps passed through Shenyang, all the trains were stopped one by one, the heavy equipment remained on the wagon, and all personnel got off the train with light weapons.

"From head to toe, does this mean a complete change of military uniforms and firearms? Comrade, in fact, the 9th Corps has already worn winter clothes."

After Zhang Xiangyi finished speaking, he shook the thin cotton coat on his body.This is made by Sanye's quilt factory, anyway, it is not a big problem to wear it in the Yangtze River Basin.

"It's just your cotton padded clothes. When you arrive in North Korea, you will freeze to death." The head of the quilt section of the logistics department said.

"Hey, is there something so strange?" Yu Binghui, the chief of staff who got out of the car, came over and took out a map from his pocket, "We are in Shenyang now, right? This is the planned area for entering the DPRK, right? It’s almost the same latitude, isn’t it? I got off the bus in Shenyang, and I feel fine, there’s nothing wrong with my clothes.”

The section chief frowned and smiled bitterly: "Comrade Chief, this is your first time in Northeast China. Now in early November, in half a month, the weather will be even colder. When we arrive in North Korea, it will be more than ten degrees colder."

The army commander and the chief of staff were persuaded to leave, and all the soldiers of the 20th Army got out of the car and settled down together.
