Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 745

Chapter 745 Destined for greatness!

“What kind of gun is this?”

“Pistol!”

“Nonsense, I'm asking about the imitation model. Forget it, you like to hide your head and hide your tail and pretend to be mysterious, so I'm too lazy to ask you. I can figure it out myself!”

The genius girl was completely attracted by the several pictures of firearms sent by Erya. She lowered her head and studied each picture carefully.

Tang Dao saw that she was so addicted and did not rush her. He walked out quietly and asked Erya to find the boss to add some refreshments and a new pot of tea. He picked up a book of poems of the Republic of China that Erya brought and sat beside him to read.

Over the past two months, he has either been fighting or on the road to fight, and his heart has never really relaxed. Today is an extremely rare time to sip tea, eat snacks, and read.

What's more important is that he is accompanied by a young scientist who will shine brightly in the future. It is estimated that not many army colonels can get this kind of treatment.

As for how long such leisure time can last, Tang Dao believes that it will take some time.

He spent the past half month drawing every night, and he only drew the design drawings of three weapons. Although the design of the three-sided spur was genius, its structure was the simplest, and it was completed in less than half a night.

The other two weapons took him fourteen whole nights, but they were the two most important standard weapons he would design for all the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment in the future.

These two weapons were designed more than ten years later. Even with the current ability of the genius girl, it is not possible to understand them all in a short while.

But obviously, Tang Dao still underestimated the wisdom of the genius girl.

Within ten minutes, the genius girl took her eyes off the last drawing and cast her eyes on Tang Dao, who was on the other side of the table, drinking tea and reading a collection of poems.

Sensing that he was being watched, Tang Dao raised his head and looked at the confused genius girl with a smile on his face: "What, have you found the design flaws of these two firearms?"

“No, although the design style of these two firearms is rough and has the characteristics of our northern neighbors, the design is perfect enough. In terms of light weapon performance, it is definitely more than one generation ahead of the current individual firearms of China and Japan.” The genius girl shook her head.

You are indeed a great person! You can tell so much just by looking at the drawings, and Tang Dao can only give a thumbs up in his heart.

In the next thirty years or so, most of China's weapon designs will not deviate from the style of its northern neighbors. The two firearms painted by Tang Dao are still designs from the mid-1950s, so naturally they have more traces of them.

"But, I'm thinking about a question. Even if all our Chinese officers and soldiers get these advanced firearms, will they definitely be able to win the war? The teacher said that the reason why the Japanese army is rampant and the reason why our army has been defeated repeatedly is basically The reason is not the difference in firearms, but the fundamentals of the two countries' industries. The Japanese army is equipped with a large number of large-caliber artillery, but our army only has a few small artillery. This is the biggest gap in military strength between the two sides." Pain filled the genius girl's eyes.

Tang Dao understood what she meant. No matter how excellent the two firearms were, they still belonged to the category of light weapons and could not fundamentally change the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves.

The reason why she went to Germany to study in the past time and space was naturally influenced by this thought, hoping to use what she learned to change China's lack of heavy artillery manufacturing.

“Sister, I understand what you mean. Our army had the right time, place and people in the Battle of Songhu, but we still failed. The failure was caused more by our own lack of strength. For example, our army was far inferior to the Japanese invaders in terms of heavy firepower.

Our army will face the Japanese invaders on the battlefield in the future. This heavy firepower will still be a difficult hurdle to overcome. If we want to win, the military industry must develop heavy artillery, but the drawings I gave you are all light weapons.

From a military perspective, the development of new light weapons can strengthen the front-line firepower at the battalion, company, and platoon levels, which is the dream of any army. The development of heavy firepower can determine the outcome of division-level, corps-level and even legion-level wars. The last war that swept half of the world has shown that artillery is the **** of war and the key to victory. Without artillery, there is no victory. "Tang Dao squinted his eyes, lightly touched the table with his fingers, and replied.

"Yes! So, it is precisely because of this that I am particularly confused. On that day, there was a fierce debate at the Jinling Ordnance Factory over the establishment of the 150 heavy artillery project. When the war broke out, there was still no conclusion." The genius girl rubbed her hair vigorously, Red eye circles.

"Tang Dao, do you know? When I heard that on the front line, a Japanese artillery shell fell, and the entire infantry platoon position of our soldiers was wiped out, how sad was my heart?"

The ancients often said that repaying what they have done means repaying whatever the Japanese attack us, but we can't do it. In the Battle of Songhu, we only had two 150-caliber heavy artillery regiments, but Those are already the only two heavy artillery regiments in our entire army, but the Japanese also have larger-caliber naval guns.

In the Battle of Songhu, I don't know how many Chinese men died under the fire of the Japanese invaders! We, the so-called high-tech talents, can only watch from behind and listen to the casualty figures that continue to come from the front line."

Looking at this talented girl who was depressed because of self-blame, Tang Dao felt pity.

These are of course not her fault, nor even the fault of the entire scientific research community. The fault can only be attributed to the big shots who continue to benefit their families.

It is precisely because of their personal desires that China has never been truly unified in the more than 20 years since the overthrow of the feudal dynasty. There has been constant internal fighting and a rare period of development. A strong neighbor invades.

Fortunately, China has never lacked outstanding people who care about the world. They have ideals that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. They are willing to sacrifice everything for this land, just like the sad genius girl in front of us.

Every effort you put in will finally pay off!

It was precisely because of such a group of people that China finally straightened its back one day and declared to the Western powers with a deafening voice: "For hundreds of years, the Western invaders only needed to set up a few cannons on a coast in the East to conquer the country." But the era of occupying one China is gone forever.”

"So, no matter how powerful we design our light weapons, it's useless. The Japanese invaders can still suppress us with heavy artillery, and the soldiers will still suffer heavy losses. Perhaps, we should choose a new direction." The look of sadness on the genius girl's face became even heavier.

“Otherwise!” Tang Dao shook his head.

“First of all, our country's industrial base does not allow our army to prioritize the development of heavy firearms. Secondly, even if our country develops and can manufacture heavy weapons, senior sister, what should we do if our army's heavy artillery is attacked by the enemy from the air?”

"Of course it's a plane versus a plane." The genius girl answered hesitantly at first, then shook her head in pain. "This doesn't work either, we have no aviation industry at all!"

The sadness in his eyes, which was already somewhat sad, became even more intense.

Tang Dao didn't need to tell her the answer, she already had the answer herself.

As a researcher who has turned her research direction to the military industry, the genius girl understands better than anyone that although there are no heavy artillery, if enough financial resources are invested to purchase materials, China can actually imitate it with China's current research and development capabilities. However, aircraft are not. It is an extremely systematic mechanical product. It took the West twenty or thirty years to develop it. It was by no means an overnight success.

Even if China uses all its efforts, the best way at present is to buy.

Perhaps only Tang Dao knows this data best.

At the most critical moment in North China in 1937, China was equipped with 296 fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and bombers. After the war broke out, it purchased more than 1,200 aircraft from its northern neighbor. This sounds like a lot, but what about Japan? They have an aircraft manufacturing industry and can produce dozens of fighter planes every day. By the end of the war, they will have up to nearly 40,000 fighter planes, and only need to dispatch one-tenth of them, which is several times that of China.

In the Battle of Songhu, which Tang Dao personally participated in, it was 290 versus 3,000. With a huge numerical disadvantage, the Chinese Air Force was bleeding in the sky but was unable to save the day. Unknown how many soldiers suffered from the Japanese bombing and roared into the sky: "Our Where is the plane? "

The planes were all shot down.

It's not that the pilots are not brave enough, but that there is a huge gap in strength.

China's weak air force gained dignity at the expense of sacrifice, but failed to gain victory.

"Does it mean that it is impossible for us to develop artillery? We can only watch our soldiers being bombed?"

"Yes, with the loss of air superiority, all the heavy artillery on the ground will become medals on the chests of Japanese bomber pilots. Of course, in addition to this, there is also logistical pressure. Our army's logistics is still limited by manpower and horse-drawn mules. In the initial stage of carrying, even if there are a small number of cars, how many heavy artillery shells weighing tens of kilograms can be sent to the artillery in wartime? Will a heavy artillery without shells be able to shoot more bullets than a single shot? Is the rifle useful?" Tang Dao decisively shattered the genius girl's last illusion.

“As Professor Sun said, our army has suffered consecutive defeats. The defeat is not just about artillery equipment, but also the overall industrial capabilities. This cannot be changed by increasing efforts to develop heavy firearms.”

"But, without airplanes or heavy artillery, how can we win this war? Just bravery and sacrifice?" The despair in the genius girl's eyes is swallowing up the previous sadness.

The reason why she asked Tang Dao was that she hoped that Tang Dao, a soldier who had fought hard battles, would give her guidance when she was confused about the direction of scientific research. Soldiers undoubtedly had the most say in weapons, but she did not expect that Tang Dao would develop heavy firearms as soon as he came up. The road is blocked.

“That's not the case. Without planes and artillery, we may fail in the early stage, but that is temporary.

What is the fight between two countries fighting for? Is it national strength? Yes, and no. I think the competition is more about war potential. In addition to national strength, there is also a competition between the willpower of two nations.

Throughout the thousands of years of history of our Chinese nation, even if we were ruled by foreigners in a special period, we were the ones who assimilated and overthrew them.

This time, no matter how many years we fight, I, and I ask you and your students, must believe that we, China, will win in the end. "Tang Dao said loudly with a piercing look.

"The will of the nation! The will of the Chinese nation!" the genius girl muttered silently, her desperate eyes gradually gaining brilliance.

“This is also my original intention to vigorously develop light weapons. No matter whether one or more battles are won or lost, even if all the country is occupied, as long as there are still people alive in China, the war will not end and there will be battlefields everywhere.

Unless they never leave a house where they can hide from bullets, or if they are surrounded by armed groups wherever they go, there will be guns pointed at them and bullets flying towards them.

The whole of China has all the people as soldiers. We don't need any cannons or planes. If we just use them like this, we will be wasted to death. "Tang Dao's eyes showed a cold light.

This is also what history has done before.

During the war, China may not be like this all over the country. It was only done in the guerrilla zones. The result was that the Japanese army did not have enough scale to dare to go out and occupy the county. The Japanese in the gun towers did not even dare to squat too much to defecate. For a long time, otherwise you will probably get shot. Eat while it's hot.

Perhaps, in addition to China's performance of this kind of war, the best proof of this kind of people's maritime war is the battle between elephants and mice fifty years later. The world's second most powerful country faced the people with only light weapons. The war dragged on. It lasted for ten years, but eventually it completely brought the economy of the world's second most powerful country to its knees.

The will to resist never stops is a stronger weapon than airplanes and cannons.

　　Listening to Tang Dao's remarks, especially the last and most annoying words, the genius girl's almond-shaped eyes once again curved into two crescent moons.

"Okay! I understand and agree with all the points you made, but we can't be too ambitious for the time being!" The genius girl, whose expression became a little more relaxed, picked up the picture from the table that showed the overall structure of a pistol and various He decomposed the component design drawing and read the theoretical parameters written on it by Tang Dao:

“Look, the effective range is 100 meters, and the muzzle velocity of the bullet is 440 meters per second. This is data that even the famous Browning 1911 pistol cannot reach. How can you dare to give it such high expectations?”

Tang Dao smiled slightly, "As long as you can do it, believe me, it will be possible."

The black pistol drawn on the paper looks somewhat "honest". If any gun enthusiast from the future looks at it, he will know the famous name that belongs to it.

The 54-type pistol!

Tang Dao, who is proficient in various types of Chinese and foreign firearms, knows it very well.

As the first standard weapon to be officially equipped with the army after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future, it draws on the advantages of the Tokarev pistol of the fighting nation, fully considers the characteristics of Chinese soldiers, and is more suitable for the hands of Chinese soldiers. It is definitely a May 4th pistol. One of the most outstanding designs of the Chinese military industry of that era.

The simple structure and non-damage characteristics make the Type 54 pistol suitable for use in most harsh environments. Its long range, strong penetration and high power are other reasons why it is favored by Chinese soldiers.

Because of its muzzle velocity of 440 m/s, it can shoot through 3 mm thick steel plates, 10 cm thick wooden boards, 6 cm thick brick walls, and 35 cm thick soil layers at a distance of 25 meters.

Compared to the Japanese bastard-box Nanbu Type 14 pistol that may not kill a person even after firing a magazine of bullets, the May 4th pistol can kill them to the sky in an instant.

Such a gun will of course achieve stronger parameters than the Browning 1911.

Moreover, the biggest reason why Tang Dao thought about it and finally decided to produce a large number of Type 54 pistols for use by the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment is that the structure of this pistol is simple and easy to manufacture.

If Tang Dao remembers correctly, the 18th Army has enough TT1931 pistols, the senior brother of the May 4th Pistol, in use. It shouldn't be too difficult to get a few sample guns back.

With the prototype gun, his own drawings and the machine tools he will definitely have, Tang Dao believes that the elites headed by the genius girl will definitely come up with it.

Of course, Tang Dao did not copy the design of this classic pistol exactly. The current environment is even worse than that period. In order to increase the lethality of the May 4th pistol, Tang Dao Mo changed its magazine design and added ammunition to it. The quantity has been increased from the standard 8 to 13. This is the best that Tang Dao can achieve in balancing the performance of the gun. Naturally, the appearance is not as coordinated as the original version.

Just thinking about the Type 54 with a thirteen-round magazine, if it were equipped on the soldiers under his command, before fighting the Japanese aggressors with bayonets, each of them would first draw out the pistol and empty the bullets and then fight hard with the bayonet, Tang Dao's blood would be a bit The boy was excited, and he was no longer the only one to fight against ten.

The Japanese are afraid of the Chinese who are so ungrateful! No matter what you do, you are thinking of tricking us!

"I feel it! It was a mistake for the teacher not to accept you. He will definitely appreciate your inexplicable confidence." The genius girl rolled her eyes.

“There, I am confident in you, senior!” Tang Dao also smiled.

“Is this a compliment?”

"absolute!"

“Then I'll take it!”

"Because I must turn the designs drawn on the drawings into reality, including the semi-automatic rifle you copied from who knows where. The drawings belong to me! Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

After finishing speaking, he rolled up the pictures on the table and put them into his cloth bag, got up and went out: "In two days, I will give you a list of the materials and machine tools I need. I hope you can The purchase can be completed as soon as possible after arriving at the destination. ”

“Okay!” Tang Dao's scalp was slightly numb.

This person is more vigorous and resolute than he imagined. That is, he is still in the stage of making a big pie at the moment. Not to mention that he has no money now, even if he has money, where can he get a machine tool? Is there such a thing in the backcountry in the north?

“Also, as an upfront investment in hiring me, an engineer who is destined to be great, I'd like you to settle the bill, my junior!” Before leaving the house, the round-faced girl smiled brightly.

Tang Dao cheated her, and she cheated Tang Dao in return, and no one suffered a loss, even if it was a small tea fee! This is a small revenge from a woman who is no more than 21 years old.

　　However, the girl who boasted in order to stimulate Tang Dao did not know that in the future, she would do great things that she had never thought of.

Not to mention Tang Dao inviting her to tea and snacks, when all the Chinese people in the world saw her, they would willingly call her: "Hello, Professor He!"

Those who care about the world are destined to be great!
