Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The military port has been built like a fortress.

In addition to the necessary industrial facilities, military factories and chemical plants can provide self-supply of ammunition.

The production line of Soviet weapons, including the Goryunov heavy machine gun, can still hold up for the time being.

Although there was an MG42 production line in Manchuria, it was impossible to promote it throughout the army. It required corresponding logistics and mechanization of the troops, or at least motorized infantry.

The rest of the troops could not have such a unique opportunity as Manchuria.

It is still necessary to consider upgrading the Guoliunov heavy machine gun.

A large number of military weapons sealed in the warehouse were counted and cleared out one by one.

It was almost the same as Ding Wei expected. The main force of the so-called weapons and equipment equipped for the 30-strong army was still the water-fired rifle.

It is not a semi-automatic rifle at all, let alone an automatic rifle.

The artillery is mostly mortars and 76mm field guns.

A small number of howitzers were no longer of much use to Ding Wei.

The 122mm howitzers, 152mm howitzers, etc. produced during World War II were just so-so in quality.

With Manchuria's current military industrial capabilities, the imitation artillery is even better.

With a longer range and greater power, they naturally look down on these old cannons.

In addition, more self-propelled artillery and vehicle-mounted rocket launchers will be equipped in the future to improve mobility.

This type of towed heavy artillery is very heavy, so it is best to have as few of them as possible.

Just because Ding Wei looks down on something doesn’t mean others don’t.

Just over a thousand cannons are enough to excite an entire military region.

Even though the problem of Lilu Port has been solved, what Ding Wei likes most is the shipyard here, which has newer equipment, a larger scale, and is located in a good seaport.

It is not comparable to the small workshop on the inland river of Harbin.

If you want to build your own destroyers, you must first increase the scale of the slipway and shipyard, and consider building multiple destroyers at the same time.

Its shipbuilding performance, scale, personnel and facilities are more than ten times larger than that of the Harbin Shipyard.

The corresponding supporting facilities can be used once you take over.

I was originally thinking of modifying the destroyer in Su Port. But could such a small, shabby port satisfy Ding Wei's appetite?

Come on, even the harbor is frozen for several months a year.

Where is the Lianlu Hong Kong incense?

A large number of people poured in here, and the railway ran through Harbin directly to the port.

Along the railway line, Zhong Zhicheng arranged railway troops to block both sides with barbed wire, reinforce the roadbed, and repair old tracks.

This trunk road will be one of the important railway lines in Manchuria and must be renovated from north to south.

The coastal defense garrison forces are uniformly dispatched by the airport.

More than a dozen Tianshu-3 fighter jets carrying Yuheng air-to-air missiles were arranged to land nearby to strengthen its air defense capabilities.

After taking inventory of Soviet fighter jets, there were actually less than 300 of them, only 297.

Most of them can be used as training aircraft to train new pilots.

A small portion can be used directly to equip air forces.

Especially the shore-based torpedo bombers, which were fighter planes that Manchuria had never imitated, so they just used the Russian fighter planes first.

It took a month or so to clean up everything that the Russian bear left behind.

A thick stack of material lists was delivered to Ding Wei's desk.

According to conservative estimates, Lianlvgang is worth 10 billion US dollars.

The key point is that this is free, which is equivalent to giving Ding Wei a big mouthful of milk.

The plan to transform the destroyer can be put on the agenda now, there is no time to wait.

In addition, the construction of small and medium-sized ships such as missile boats, torpedo boats, coastal defense ships, and submarines must be carried out according to plan.

The research, development and testing of naval guns and anti-aircraft guns also need to be accelerated in advance.

The troops were on the move and tense, and the entire military industry in Manchuria was in a state of preparation for war.

As long as the equipment is not scrapped, it doesn’t matter whether you work hard or not.

Airplanes, tanks, warships, missiles, rockets, satellites, mushrooms, the research institute has basically never stopped research.

The reason why Ding Wei is so tough is not only because he has a lot of technical information at hand, but also because the domestic situation has improved.

Agriculture, industry and transportation have all stabilized, with agricultural output value increasing by 70% and industrial output value increasing by more than 200%.

Railways, highways and inland waterway transportation are connected.

Post-war recovery work has been basically completed.

Apart from the lukewarm war on the peninsula, all construction work has been progressing exceptionally smoothly.

Based on this situation, many risky attempts can be made by withdrawing funds from Manchuria and investing them in research.

In the past, people said that Ding Wei was a waste of manpower and resources, which he didn't like to hear.

The technology is provided by itself;

Research funds are brought in from outside.

Not a single cent was used, it was all paid out of personal pockets.

The purpose is to complete the post-war recovery work and put everything in order.

Let Manchuria's industrialization be upgraded and the factories and equipment left behind by the Japanese devils be renewed.

But from now on, he will start to use the value accumulated in Manchuria.

The industrial base that has been built with great effort, the power plants, hydroelectric power stations, steel mills that have been constructed, and the large equipment that has been introduced, should start to exert continuous force.

Manchuria entered a state of war readiness, as if a wind of militarized management was spreading around the city.

Hundreds of BT tanks were produced, and this type of light tank cannot be used as a main battle tank.

The process of imitating the T54 is nearing completion. In the short term, dozens of T54 imitation tanks will be built. Combining the tank advantages of art students, they will be named Siberian Tiger, the Tiger tank of the East.

Equip the armored division to verify the level of imitation.

On the original basis, increase armor, penetration and firepower.

Firepower is the advantage and strength of Manchuria. With the improvement of metallurgy and gunpowder technology, it is possible to create armor-piercing shells with stronger penetration and gun barrels with better performance.

In addition, the important composite armor also has better defensive performance than the T34's homogeneous armor.

The Russians' metallurgical level was not high, which forced them to compromise on many of their designs.

On the contrary, Manchuria's metallurgical level is fine, and its rare metal mineral reserves are also good. Moreover, there is Jin Xiaoer next to it, and the rare metals in the Northern Dynasty are extremely rich.

Ding Wei has already regarded this place as his back garden.

It was only a matter of time before rare metal mines were mined.

If the imitation technology is good and the metallurgical and artillery levels are up to par, then there will be no problem in building the Vostok Tiger tank.

Taking the T34 tank as an example, its main problem was that it was equipped with a Chris suspension and the engine could not be placed horizontally, which led to a series of design compromises.

The bottom line is that the metallurgical level of the Russian bear is not enough to produce a 35-ton torsion bar, and it is impossible to use torsion bar suspension.

These are not problems in Manchuria. Combining the strengths and weaknesses of the T54, the advantages of its design are brought into play and its disadvantages are reduced.

Increase the elevation angle of the gun to enhance firepower.

Standing on the shoulders of others, you don’t have to go through many detours again.

According to the feedback given to Ding Wei by the tank factory, a sample vehicle will be available for armored personnel to test within 2 weeks.

If there are no major problems, we can produce 50 vehicles first and equip a tank regiment.

In order to be efficient, everyone at the Tank Research Institute held their breath.

After all, they have achieved results in airplanes, missiles and warships, but they have been researching for two or three years before they came up with the T54 imitation tank, which is really a bit lame.

Fortunately, all the research was worthwhile, and the Oriental Tiger tank was built at the Harbin Tank Factory.
