Chapter 79 Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun Test
"Da Da Da~~"
A soldier sat at the tail of the anti-aircraft machine gun, with his feet on the iron frame.
The bottom of the anti-aircraft machine gun was a tripod. After firing a burst, it directly turned on the automatic mode. The hot flames continued to spurt out from the muzzle like a tongue of fire, splashing out a surging 14.5mm bullet, instantly piercing the cold and dense atmosphere and rushing towards a scrapped car in the distance.
In just a blink of an eye, the scrapped car was instantly smashed to pieces by the 14.5mm bullet rain.
Several experts couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Just when they looked at it, they thought the gun looked good.
But when they really tested it, the power of this anti-aircraft machine gun shocked them all.
This is just an ordinary bullet, without using tungsten core armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets!
They had no doubt that this anti-aircraft machine gun would become a nightmare for infantrymen on the battlefield. As long as there were one or two anti-aircraft machine guns, no matter how many infantrymen came, it would be difficult to capture important places.
A series of tests were conducted in a flat-fire manner, and the test data was recorded one by one.
The other anti-aircraft machine gun was conducting air shooting.
Of course, this kind of test would not be conducted by airplanes or helicopters, but by balloons.
The balloons were broken in the rain of bullets.
The more the expert group tested, the more shocked they were.
Because this anti-aircraft machine gun has much better performance than the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.
The range really reached 2,500 meters, which is nearly 1,000 meters higher than the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun. This improvement is amazing.
There is also the ammunition box capacity. The Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun has a capacity of only 70 rounds, while the ammunition box capacity of this anti-aircraft machine gun is as high as 150 rounds, which is three times the capacity.
Moreover, this anti-aircraft machine gun can be equipped with wheels, and then the wheels can be removed and converted into a tripod on the battlefield to facilitate battlefield movement. It can also be directly disassembled into several pieces, so that two or three soldiers can carry an anti-aircraft machine gun and assemble it immediately at the position.
Of course, if time is tight, three soldiers can carry a complete anti-aircraft machine gun to the position.
They don’t understand that everyone has worked hard to improve the 54-type anti-aircraft machine gun. I don’t know how many R&D personnel across the country have racked their brains, but the research results are far inferior to Liu Tao.
Is this the role of genius! ?
Is it wrong to say that genius is 99% sweat plus 1% talent! ?
Experts in the expert group fell into deep self-doubt.
At this time, Liu Tao was taking Wang Tiezhu to visit Panshan Machinery Factory and introducing some changes in Panshan Machinery Factory to Wang Tiezhu.
Unlike the previous factory area, Panshan Machinery Factory has established four production areas in the large jurisdiction.
However, two production areas are now under construction, and two newly built production areas are gradually being put into use.
"When the production area is fully built, the annual output of the Type 78 pistol alone will reach 200,000." Liu Tao introduced, "The annual output of the Type 78 automatic rifle can reach 500,000!"
The annual output scale of pistols and rifles is the most frightening.
These two weapons are the most in demand in the army.
Especially the automatic rifle, it has been clearly stated that it will be equipped as a standard weapon for the troops.
As for weapons such as light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and heavy sniper rifles, the number has dropped significantly.
Light machine guns are okay, they can be equipped to the squad. If a squad can be equipped with a light machine gun, the number should reach 200,000 to 300,000 light machine guns.
But for heavy machine guns, all the purchases are estimated to be only 20,000 to 30,000.
As for heavy sniper rifles, the troops have been stingy until now, and it is estimated that they will not exceed 1,000 at most.
This is because Liu Tao occasionally helps the troops and gives away some heavy sniper rifles!
Of course, the more powerful the weapon, the more complicated the manufacturing process, and the higher the technical level of the workers.
"Now Panshan Machinery Factory is worthy of being the largest military factory in Yunnan Province!" Wang Tiezhu sighed.
It has only been a year, and Panshan Machinery Factory has been transformed from a bird gun to a cannon, and has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Back then, Panshan Machinery Factory could not even pay wages on time, and had to delay wages for a few months. He had to cry poor to Wang Baoguo from time to time to get some funds to maintain the operation of Panshan Machinery Factory.
Since Liu Tao came to Panshan Machinery Factory, everything has changed.
The recent number of people arranged to produce 78-type automatic rifles has reached 10,000. It is conceivable that now that the construction is completed and the full production capacity is reached, Panshan Machinery Factory may have 50,000 to 60,000 people.
This is just one side, not including the construction of two other arsenals that Liu Tao is planning to build.
Wang Tiezhu said: "I think the working group of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building will be shocked when they come to Panshan Machinery Factory! If Panshan Machinery Factory cannot be upgraded to a large military factory, I am afraid there are few military factories in the country that can be called large military factories."
The development of Panshan Machinery Factory is not only about Panshan Machinery Factory itself, but also involves other supporting factories in Yunnan Province.
Because of the rapid development of Panshan Machinery Factory, many factories in Yunnan Province have also developed quite well.
This also prevents the third-line factories in Yunnan Province from falling into trouble all at once like the neighboring provinces.
"Comrade Liu Tao, can Panshan Machinery Factory merge two or three more factories?" Wang Tiezhu asked: "You also know that there are three third-line factories under the jurisdiction of our Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office that are in trouble and have almost no production indicators."
This matter also worries Wang Tiezhu.
After all, these third-line factories are under the jurisdiction of the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office, which is equivalent to the children of the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office.
As a parent, you can't just watch your children starve.
"Alas, Director, we have just merged three factories, and we have to digest them well. We really can't digest so many workers now!" Liu Tao smiled bitterly, "At least we have to wait until the New Year before we can accept more people!"
During this period, the personnel department of Panshan Machinery Factory has been training and digesting the workers from the three merged factories, allowing them to integrate into Panshan Machinery Factory and adapt to new jobs.
But this is just the first step!
You know, there are still many workers living in tents!
Many people's families are still in the original factory area and have not come to Panshan Machinery Factory, otherwise Panshan Machinery Factory will have to be blown up.
According to estimates, at least by the Spring Festival, all the workers of these three factories will have a place to live and their families will be settled in place.
Not to mention, during this period of time, he was busy with the hospital affairs. Seeing that the hospital was almost built, but the medical staff were nowhere to be seen, Liu Tao was anxious.
He tried his best to recruit females, especially single women, for medical staff, teachers, etc.
There are too many men of marriageable age in Panshan Machinery Factory now.
Marriage is a lifelong event. If there are too many bachelors, it will be a big unstable factor for Panshan Machinery Factory.
As the factory director, Liu Tao is particularly concerned.
