Chapter 76 Anti-Aircraft Machine Guns and Anti-Aircraft Guns

"What!?"

"You developed a new anti-aircraft machine gun!?"

Wang Tiezhu's hand holding the telephone receiver was shaking, and he couldn't help but yelled, his eyes were full of disbelief.

It had only been a short time since Liu Tao accepted the rifle grenade and sniper grenade launcher, and he actually developed another firearm, and it was a big killer.

Anti-aircraft machine guns are large-caliber machine guns designed mainly for aerial targets.

In the First World War, Germany and France manufactured the earliest anti-aircraft machine guns. Initially, heavy machine guns were installed on special gun mounts and used as anti-aircraft machine guns.

In the Second World War, anti-aircraft machine guns were widely used. The more famous ones were the Soviet DSHK 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and the ZPU-1 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun, which became the most important air defense weapons.

After World War II, due to the continuous increase in the altitude and speed of aircraft flights, the role of anti-aircraft machine guns weakened and developed slowly.

But this does not mean that China does not need anti-aircraft machine guns. On the contrary, China needs anti-aircraft machine guns very much.

Otherwise, they would not always want to continuously improve the performance of the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.

It is just limited by technology that the development of anti-aircraft machine guns is very slow and unsatisfactory!

Now Liu Tao suddenly called him and said that he had developed a new type of anti-aircraft machine gun.

You know, it is an anti-aircraft machine gun. It can be used for air defense and shoot down aircraft on the battlefield. It can also be used for flat shooting, becoming a nightmare for enemy infantry.

The Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office has just temporarily named the rifle-howitzer and sniper-grenade gun as the Type 78 rifle-howitzer and the Type 78 sniper-grenade gun, and submitted the materials to the Fifth Machine Department. Before they had a break, Liu Tao developed a new type of anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Director, two samples of this anti-aircraft machine gun have been manufactured. It is made of titanium alloy, with a range of 2,500 meters and a caliber of 14.5 mm." Liu Tao reported the basic parameters of this anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Anti-aircraft machine guns are just the first step. After all, our factory already had a complete set of design drawings for the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun. Improving on this basis is nothing." Liu Tao said without much concern: "My next goal is to develop anti-aircraft guns. By then, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns can initially form an air defense network!"

Anti-aircraft guns are mainly used to attack aerial targets such as airplanes, helicopters and aircraft. They were produced during the First World War and opened a new chapter in air defense operations in the history of war.

Although large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have been gradually replaced by surface-to-air missiles with the development of surface-to-air missiles, it does not mean that anti-aircraft guns have no place to use.

After all, surface-to-air missiles are expensive, much higher than anti-aircraft guns!

Liu Tao remembered that even after another forty years, many countries still equipped and developed anti-aircraft guns.

"Anti-aircraft guns? You are in the field of firearms, how could you study guns?" Wang Tiezhu didn't believe it at all.

Don't look at the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Look at them. You must know that one is a gun and the other is a gun.

Cannons and guns are completely different things.

Liu Tao is a firearms expert. He can make an anti-aircraft machine gun. Although Wang Tiezhu is shocked, he can accept it.

Because Liu Tao showed that he is a top firearms expert. It is normal for a genius firearms expert to develop any firearm.

But if Liu Tao is said to be able to develop a cannon, he will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

"Director, guns and cannons are ultimately the same. When I develop it, you will know." Liu Tao smiled and said, "This anti-aircraft machine gun will require you to organize an expert group for acceptance. At that time, you will also need to coordinate the titanium alloy."

"Okay, I will organize experts now and tell you when the time is set!" Wang Tiezhu said. Since it has been developed, it is natural to go to the scene to see it.

Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao put down the phone.

Looking at the map on the wall, he showed a thoughtful look.

Panshan Machinery Factory is here, and naturally there is also a production workshop for producing cannons.

It's just that Wang Tiezhu's reminder last time made him realize that the safety problem is that concentrating on one place is not conducive to safety prevention.

"It seems that the construction of other factories has to be put on the agenda!" Liu Tao said secretly.

Although the production area and production workshops of Panshan Machinery Factory are separated, with a considerable distance between them, trees are planted in the middle, and creepers are planted to cover the factory. Even if it is attacked by missiles, it is impossible to be destroyed all at once, but if it is bombed by bombers, it will be different, and the losses will be very heavy.

This possibility is very small, but not impossible.

This also makes him constantly think about the construction of branch factories.

Now Factory 991, Factory 9815, and Factory 9807 are merged into Panshan Machinery Factory, and the land belongs to Panshan Machinery Factory.

Moreover, after meeting with the leaders last time, the planning maps submitted before were approved. Each factory area is at least 100 square kilometers, and even the scope of Factory 9807 has reached 200 square kilometers.

These three factories were originally selected as the location of military factories. Naturally, the location is excellent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and hidden.

At that time, as long as two or three checkpoints are established, no one can reach this area.

Of course, due to funding constraints, it is impossible to build a large-scale factory area like the current one.

Large-scale construction is impossible, but phased construction is not a problem.

It won’t be long before the order to Egypt is completed, and the money can be settled at that time, which is a lot of money.

By the end of this year, this order can be completed, which is enough to support the construction of the branch factory.

"But now, we have to get someone to do the planning and design first!" Liu Tao is not like other people who think that planning and design are useless and build randomly.

He attaches great importance to planning and design, so that the construction will be more reasonable and he will know how much money to invest.

As for confidentiality, there will be no problem. The planning and design drawings of military factories will not be circulated.

"In addition, it is to develop anti-aircraft guns. When the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are combined with armored vehicles, the power on the battlefield will be greater!" Liu Tao not only wants to develop anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, but also to make a system platform.

At that time, it will be composed of search and ranging radar, enemy identification transponder, photoelectric coordinate meter and other equipment to form a combat system.

Such a system platform is a killer now.

Think about any infantry regiment, as long as it is equipped with one or two anti-aircraft guns, it will have a strong field air defense capability. How exciting it is.

Of course, it is not easy to get such a system platform, after all, there are many equipment involved.

Liu Tao contacted the provincial design institute and commissioned them to plan and design three factories. One of the factories was planned and designed according to the civilian field factory standards, and the other two were planned and designed according to the military factory standards.

Just as he was about to invest in the development of anti-aircraft guns, people from the railway system came to him.
