Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

After talking for a day without any substantive progress, the Chinese and North Korean delegations returned to Hwacheon from the pontoon bridge, the United Nations military delegation returned to Chuncheon by helicopter, and the journalists, eavesdropping groups, and secret filming groups on more than a dozen motorboats on the Bukhan River dispersed in a crowd. .

7 month 14 day.

Turner Joey: "...You should withdraw from all areas south of the Imjin River including Dongducheon, Yeoncheon, and Paocheon, and we will take over Dongducheon, Yeoncheon, and Paocheon. Huachuan and Yangkou is a demilitarized area, you should withdraw your troops from the above two cities..."

Nam Il: "Against the Kansas Line. A reasonable military demarcation line should be bounded by the Han River and the North Han River on the west side of the peninsula, and the current military-controlled area of ​​the two sides should be the demarcation line on the east side."

"Dismiss."

……

7 month 15 day.

Turner Joey: "The Ye Ting Line is a line that legalizes aggression for no reason. You should withdraw from all areas south of the Imjin River, including Dongducheon, Yeoncheon, and Paocheon..."

Nam Il: "We oppose the Kansas Line. The Han River was a common geographical boundary during the Korean separatist period in history. It is reasonable to use the Han River as the boundary."

"Dismiss."

……

Turner Joy: "Against Yeh line. Kansas line truce."

Nan Ri: "Against the Kansas Line. Ye Ting Line Armistice."

"Dismiss."

……

Turner Joy: "The Kansas Line."

Nan Ri: "Ye Ting Line."

"Dismiss."

……

By the end of July in 1951, the section of the Bukhan River from the source to Hwacheon became a motorboat race.

"Squad leader, our negotiation convoy has passed!"

On the hill next to Huachuan, the lookout posts set up at the commanding heights got up earlier, and began to be on duty at dawn.The little soldier saw our negotiating convoy, and then saw the helicopter group in the sky.

"Of course it's on time. Negotiations, no matter whether the talks can go on or not, you have to arrive at the venue on time." The squad leader said.

"Western journalists are here, and they're going to start rowing again!"

On the North Han River, more than a dozen motorboats were going upstream, and the propeller blades set off white fine waves.It took about a few minutes for the group of motorboats to arrive near Huachuan and Lavali, and the Chinese and North Korean delegations and the United Nations Army delegation that entered the negotiation venue had already concluded today's "three-sentence" negotiation, and each carried their bags from their own. Walk out the side door, the Chinese and North Korean delegation boarded the car, and the United Nations Army delegation boarded the plane.A dozen or so motorboats on the North Han River had already turned their heads skillfully, as if someone ordered them to restart their engines and head back.

Another thing that the squad leader and the little soldier wondered was: these reporters have been waiting for a whole day, just to go back and forth like this, how can they have anything worth reporting?

……

Dalian.

After arranging the one-ship-one-boat transformation of the Shipbuilding Industry Bureau, the next stop is Dalian Jianxin Company.

The first thing is the fuel air warhead - Yunbobo. Liu Nai has already gone from Shenyang to Dalian for a month after answering Tang Hua's call. When Tang Hua came to Jianxin Company, the chlorohydrin method produced ethylene oxide. The alkanes production workshop has been organized and is being tested in small batches. First, to see if the purity of the product is up to standard, and second, to check the safety of the production line.Most of the ethylene oxide and the raw materials and intermediate products for making ethylene oxide are flammable, explosive or highly toxic, and it is difficult to deal with production accidents.Wearing safety helmets and protective masks, Tang Hua and Liu Nai took a look at the workshop from a distance, and got the samples by themselves—a little bit of ethylene oxide in a sealed bottle, and the test results showed that the purity was not bad.I hope there will be no troubles in this production line, and the raw materials will be produced in a stable manner.

Parachutes and timers are not particularly difficult things to make. Fuze Dalian Jianxin Company has built countless shells, bombs, rockets and missile warheads, and there are enough engineers to complete this work.

The second matter took longer, and it was the flag that Tang Hua set in early January this year.At that time, Liu Nai asked Tang Hua, "Is there any way to make the rifle shoot particularly accurately?" Tang Hua thought that he could try to develop a high-precision spy. If there were no difficulties in the development process, it should be able to catch up with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea when it was produced. The cold gun stage of positional warfare.

In view of the fact that Dalian Jianxin Company has a large number of firearms and small cannon production lines with various models, there is no shortage of skilled technicians and processing machinery, and there is also an expert Liu Nai who has made guns, is a marksman, and is also the director of the General Administration of Ordnance Industry. hope.

When Tang Hua promised Liu Nai a "specially accurate rifle" in January, he sent the East German Zeiss a custom-made manual and an advance payment for the contract.However, the production of sniper scopes is time-consuming. In addition to the repeated orders for the optical components of the night vision device, the production date of the sniper scopes has also been postponed. Two weeks before Tang Hua arrived in Dalian, 1 500x scopes were shipped to Dalian.

"If you want to improve the accuracy of the rifle and then improve it to the limit, then many structures and parts of the rifle have to be redesigned." Tang Hua and Liu Nai walked into the workshop while talking, "The first part that needs to be replaced is the barrel. .”

The workshop where the two entered was the barrel production workshop for the 7.62X54R heavy machine gun.

Dalian Jianxin Company is now able to produce Guoliunov heavy machine guns, but there is still a job to produce a large number of heavy machine gun barrels for the transformation of old guns-our army is equipped with a large number of civilian 24/Maxim heavy machine guns and Japanese three-year-style heavy machine guns. /92 heavy machine guns, now it is necessary to unify the ammunition of the whole army and save money as much as possible, so it is necessary to use a new 7.62 barrel to change the caliber of these guns to fire Soviet-style 7.62X54R ammunition.

"Old Zhou," Liu Nai said, "there is a new assembly task, and I need to transfer 100 heavy machine gun barrels from you. I will be in charge of this project. If it goes well, after half a year, I will get you from you every month. Remove 100 barrels."

"Yes!" Lao Zhou, the workshop director, replied, "However, Director Liu, we have a heavy production task now. In order to meet the needs of the task, we have already adopted some overtime work to expand production."

"Then let's assume that you didn't expand your production so fully, and you missed 100 gun barrels every month." Liu Nai patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder, "Oh, I will personally select these 100 gun barrels, and they must be of the highest quality. Well, there's nothing wrong with the bore."

……

"When the bullet is fired, how does the reaction force or recoil force be transmitted from the barrel to the shoulder? Now this rifle has a raised or protruding hook under the barrel, which is stuck on the wooden butt-handguard correspondingly The position is dug in the hole. The wood fiber will be worn and deformed after a long time, and the engagement between the protrusion and the small hole will become loose. Moreover, the integrated handguard and butt will be slowly deformed by moisture or dehydration, and many rifles are now Those who are equipped with bayonets for hand-to-hand combat will become deformed after a long time."

Tang Hua, Liu Nai, and two technicians sat together. Tang Hua held a half-disassembled Chinese official and explained his thoughts to the three.

"I want to use a metal base structure to connect the barrel and the butt. The receiver is fixed on a rigid base, and the end of the base is the shoulder plate, which means that the base is the real butt that bears the force, and two pieces of plastic are pasted on the side. Or the wooden thing is just for the convenience of the shooter when carrying it, and it does not bear the force. Of course, this gun will never be equipped with a bayonet.”

"Pay attention to what I just said. The base is fixed to the receiver instead of the barrel. In fact, the barrel is suspended after it leaves the receiver and is not fixed by any additional things. It is also the same as the handguard below. No direct contact. The bipod is also attached to the handguard."

"So you have to pay attention to the processing technology when the barrel is fixed to the receiver. This is the only fixed point of the barrel. ... The rail above the receiver is also the same, with the highest level of processing technology, because this is where the scope is installed. .”

……

"Minister Tang, do you have to pay attention to bullets?" Liu Nai asked Tang Hua when he came to the bullet factory.

"Bullets matter."

In the middle of the production line, Tang Hua casually grabbed a handful of warheads that were not fitted to the shells, and used an analytical balance to weigh the mass of several of the bullets, and let Liu Nai see the errors.

"In addition to the error in weight, there is also error in the center of mass of the bullet, which affects the shooting accuracy even more. Whether it is a lead core, a steel core or a copper armor, it cannot be guaranteed that each bullet is exactly the same when it is produced on an assembly line machine. If the core is a little bit off, the center of mass of the bullet is also off. Filling the propellant into the shell is also automatically loaded by the machine, and the amount is also biased... It doesn’t matter if you use this kind of bullet for ordinary rifles. If you want to shoot particularly accurately, you need to find some Skilled labor organizes special workshops and assembles bullets by hand."

Liu Nai: "I just want to get a more accurate rifle...I didn't expect such a big movement."

Tang Hua: "I still want to change the bullets at the same time. Let's talk about this later. Lao Liu, after the prototype of this gun is manufactured, it will be called the Bayi-style sniper rifle, echoing the Bayi-style horse rifle of that year."

Chapter 178, the bottom line is that the two sides cease fighting on the spot

From Dalian to Shenyang, Tang Hua went through Yingkou, Anshan, and Liaoyang one by one.

Anshan is where Tang Hua must stop for a day.The reconstruction and expansion of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is underway, and more than 400 Soviet experts and a large number of equipment and materials are already in place.From now to 1960, Anshan Iron and Steel will carry out three phases of reconstruction and expansion projects, and finally reach the level of annual steel production of 320 million tons and steel products of 250 million tons.Of course Anshan Iron and Steel can also produce steel now, but more than half of the steel ingots released from the furnace are taken away by Dalian to produce weapons and equipment for Jianxin Company.In the future, after the increase in steel production, there will be surplus steel for construction.

From Dalian to Shenyang, at a glance along the way, you can see many military camps stationed with troops, roads outside the military camps, and various trucks transporting materials and personnel coming and going.Tang Hua also saw about a whole battalion of troops going out for training. All of them had put on the uniforms of the volunteer army, their morale was high, and they were singing the military songs of the troops.

From the military song, Tang Hua also distinguished that this unit belongs to the 67th Army of the People's Liberation Army/Volunteer Army, which is one of the third batch of units scheduled to enter the DPRK among the three rounds of units designated by the chairman.

The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has lasted for nearly 10 months. The first batch of troops to enter North Korea (later designated as the First Division) were 13 armies from the 6th Corps and 9 armies from the 3th Corps. The 13th Corps is the troops directly under Zhisi. The battle reached the fourth battle. After the second battle of the 9th Corps, half of the divisions rested and half of the divisions continued to fight.

In the second rotation, the 6 armies directly under Zhisi withdrew to rest, the 3rd Corps, the 19th Corps, and the 9th Corps, which returned to the front line after a break, fought the fifth battle.
