Bai Yi couldn't help being stunned when he heard that. Song Jixue, the party secretary on the side, also looked at Lin Bo with a confused look on his face and urged: "Old Lin, what artillery? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"I didn't expect my superiors to catch me so quickly. I thought it was just a development vision..."

Lin Bo took a sip of water and began to talk about the reason. It turned out that after the founding of New China, the central government attached great importance to the development of military equipment. After summing up the experience of previous civil wars, it proposed a series of weapons and equipment development plans. However, it has not yet

When it was put into practice, it was completely interrupted by the sudden Korean War.

In this truly modern war, on the one hand, China defends its motherland with its flesh and blood, and on the other hand, it is strongly aware of the huge gap between its own equipment level and the world's advanced level, especially in terms of firepower delivery.

, the two cannot be compared at all, and this is also the main reason for the casualties of the volunteer army.

Since the beginning of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Chinese army has been an army that is good at learning and summarizing, from the sixteen-character motto of guerrilla warfare to the opening of base areas behind enemy lines; from the classic infantry three-thirds tactical principle to interspersed outflanking and encirclement

Large corps movements and operations for reinforcements.

At almost every stage, the Chinese army will absorb the richest nutrients from the unpredictable evolution of war, thereby continuously growing its strength. The Korean War was no exception. The Chinese army also learned from the fierce confrontation with the United Nations forces.

There are two things that were not available before, which can be summed up in two: firepower!

This is something that the Chinese army has not experienced in previous civil wars. It is true that the Japanese invaders and the Nationalist government troops are stronger than our army in terms of firepower, but it is not insurmountable. Through flexible tactical movements and superb coordination,

It can still cause great damage to the enemy.

But in the face of the United Nations troops who were armed to the teeth, our army's traditional flexible tactics encountered great challenges, because this brand-new enemy not only had aircraft and artillery, but the regiment's first-level organizations were also equipped with very powerful fire support weapons, so that

Each infantry platoon is equipped with a 60mm mortar, and even each infantry squad is equipped with a "Bazooka" rocket launcher.

It is precisely because of this that the United Nations troops, whether attacking or defending, can move calmly and advance and retreat freely under the cover of dense fire nets. Although our army hates this, we can't help but envy the extraordinary. This will also enhance our army.

Firepower, especially infantry-accompanied firepower, is an important direction for future army construction and should be vigorously developed.

"When I held a meeting in Beijing, the responsible comrades of the relevant departments proposed to walk on two legs on this issue, thereby quickly strengthening the basic principles of our army's infantry firepower structure, that is, by introducing mature weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, our army's urgently needed firepower structure

Lay the foundation; at the same time, in view of the deficiencies in the Soviet equipment, we must concentrate our own technical strength to find out and fill in the gaps, especially in the artillery accompanying the infantry. We must put more effort into it and strive to find a set of equipment that is consistent with China's actual conditions during the development process.

Equipment system!"

Lin Bo was talking about what he had experienced when he went to the capital to attend the National Military Industry Conference some time ago. As he spoke, his weathered face could not help but smile ashamedly at everyone present: "Including me at that time

Almost all the participants basically regarded the first point as the key point

, after all, the Soviet Union has begun to provide us with formal weapons and equipment, and some equipment has even provided a full set of technical information. Many brother factories have already begun to imitate it, so they did not pay much attention to the second point, but they did not expect the superior leaders

Much more important than us..."

At the end, Lin Bo couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In fact, he couldn't blame Lin Bo and others for neglecting the self-research plan. In any case, the military industry conference Lin Bo attended was in the context of the Soviet Union's official implementation of large-scale military assistance.

It was held that since the victory of the second battle, the once arrogant United Nations troops were forcibly driven back to the 38th parallel by the volunteers.

Stalin, who was in the Kremlin in Moscow, began to become uneasy, because he never expected that the Chinese army with backward equipment would actually win. This made him look at the Chinese army with admiration, and at the same time he had to start to re-examine it.

This so-called new ally of comrades and brothers.

So a huge plan to hold back the United States in the Far East and buy time for the Soviet Union to develop gradually came into being in the mind of the revolutionary leader. He just wanted to implement this plan, but China's existing strength alone was obviously not enough, so Stalin ordered

The Soviet Army's World War II surplus materials previously promised to China were immediately shipped to China for use on the Korean battlefield where the fierce fighting was raging.

As for the related weapons and equipment technology introduction plan that he had not agreed with before, Stalin also opened his mouth for the first time, so the "Bobosha" submachine gun; dp-27 rotary light machine gun; sg-43 heavy machine gun and zis-3 76mm cannon, etc.

A complete set of technical data on a batch of classic Soviet weapons and equipment from the Second World War was provided to China.

An important topic in convening this national military industry conference is to allocate the imitation and production tasks of these equipment. Seeing such a golden opportunity, military factories across the country naturally focus on the task of Soviet equipment with red eyes.

In terms of distribution, as for the follow-up issues of self-research or not, many people didn’t even listen.

It's like putting a sweet big cake and a hard-to-peel walnut together for people to choose from. As long as people with normal thinking naturally compete to share the delicious cake, the hard and hard-to-kick walnut will not be kicked.

It's good to be in the garbage dump, but how can you stand up to these people's eyes?

Speaking of which, Lin Bo is also gearing up and preparing to compete. After all, the Baiyun Factory he leads has developed extremely rapidly in the past year, especially after the batch of "German scraps" obtained from the Soviet Union. Its basic technical strength is even more

Expand to new heights.

Although I dare not say that it is the best in the country, it can indeed be among the top. Especially after Bai Yi and others assembled several precision machine tools for processing fuzes and optical equipment, Baiyun Factory has the capital to be proud of the domestic military industry.

Because of this, Lin Bo can be said to be determined to win.

Unexpectedly, when the final tasks were assigned, he found that Baiyun Factory, which was at the forefront in terms of technical strength, did not get two jobs. This made Lin Bo very depressed. Even after returning to Baiyun Factory, he was depressed for several days.

, until he saw this telegram from the head of the General Logistics Department, he was relieved of his depression for many days, because he saw another possibility from this brief telegram...

So Lin Bo finally showed a long-lost smile and continued excitedly: "If imitation of Soviet-made equipment is one leg, then the so-called concentrated self-research plan by superiors this time is the other leg. The introduction of imitation is combined with independence.
Chapter completed!
