Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

It completely subverts the traditional artillery combat mode.

Traditional artillery requires setting up solid artillery positions. In order to achieve the required fire coverage density, several cannons are needed, firing continuously for several minutes.

When moving positions, the artillery pieces had to be put away and dragged along.

It's not just one gun that's being moved, it's the entire artillery position that's being moved, and it takes a long time to complete this action.

Therefore, once the location of the artillery position is detected by the enemy's long-range artillery, it will be extremely dangerous.

This is also why the larger the caliber of the artillery, the stronger its survivability.

The larger the caliber of the artillery, the longer the range. Even if the enemy detects the location of the artillery position, he will not be able to hit it.

Unless the air force is dispatched for bombing.

There is no need to worry about this problem when fighting against the Anlang Kingdom.

However, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the heavier it is and the more inconvenient it is to move.

It was difficult to keep up with the infantry advance.

Moreover, large-caliber artillery is generally military artillery. If grassroots combat units want to obtain heavy artillery support, they need to report to higher levels. On the ever-changing battlefield, this delay in time is extremely fatal.

Compared with traditional howitzers, the 82mm mortar is very light with a total weight of 630 kg.

It can be towed by small vehicles and mules and horses, making it highly maneuverable.

It is a piece of artillery that can follow the infantry company into battle.

Particularly suitable for urban street fighting and mountain warfare.

In view of the actual situation of the war on the southern front, Liu Hongyi has been trying his best to strengthen the fire support capabilities of the front-line infantry in the past two years.

It’s not his turn to worry about large-caliber artillery.

We have plenty.

What is lacking is the front-line infantry support firepower.

This light mortar will not only play a role in the upcoming war on the southern front, but will also play a huge role in the subsequent ten-year-long war between the two mountains.

The heavy, large-caliber howitzers could not climb the mountain, and the light, small-caliber mortars did not have enough firepower.

A mortar with moderate weight and powerful firepower is just right.

After disassembling, the soldiers could carry it up the mountain on their shoulders or in their hands. A cannon hidden in a pit could control a large area. It would be fine if the Anlang monkeys didn't show up, but as soon as they did, they would be bombarded with shells.

Direct and indirect shooting, conversion as desired.

Add to that the 35mm and 40mm howitzers invented by Liu Hongyi earlier, as well as the 60mm rapid-fire rifle, and the intensity of the firepower is simply unimaginable.

As long as there are enough artillery shells in reserve, the two mountain positions will be impregnable.

I'm afraid the entire mode of warfare will be changed.

Monkeys, come and eat the shells!

"What a big treasure..."

Looking at the 82mm mortar on the test firing range, Liu Hongyi was filled with joy.

Even Ai Xiaoyu who was standing by was a little "jealous".

When Liu Hongyi came to Factory 576, she naturally followed him. Since they were in love, they were inseparable.

Not only Liu Hongyi was delighted, but Duan Weimin, Zhang Chenghai, Jin Yunfeng, Gao Di, Tan Dexi, Song Anhua and others were also very excited.

Especially Zhang Chenghai.

He is the project leader.

After Liu Hongyi left, he was in charge of the mortar and howitzer research team.

After several months of hard work, we finally produced the first sample.

Now, he has grown into one of the pillars of the research institute, and his professional title has surpassed Liu Hongyi, and he has been promoted from senior technician to associate researcher. Once this mortar-howitzer passes the inspection of the higher authorities and is approved for mass production, he is expected to be awarded a second-class merit.

In any case, it fills a gap in our army's weapons and equipment.

This is not an improvement.

This is from nothing to something, from zero to one.

It is a qualitative breakthrough.

So even Duan Weimin came in person, which shows how much importance he attaches to this weapon.

Tan Dexi personally presided over the test launch.

After implementing the policy and returning to Factory 576, Tan Dexi's health was obviously much better than before. He was no longer the "old man" with a gray face. Although he was still thin, there was a slight blush on his cheeks. Most importantly, his spirit was incomparable to that at Yanggou Farm.
