Chapter 27 Situation

How much is the annual output of 20,000 'Type 78' pistols and 120,000 'Type 78' automatic rifles?

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much at all.

I am afraid that more than 30 million 'Type 54' pistols have been produced so far, and you must know that there are ten special years. Even on average, 1.25 million 'Type 54' pistols are produced nationwide every year.

The ‘Type 63’ automatic rifle was put into production in 1969 and was discontinued in 1978. It was modified while being produced. As a result, five to six million ‘Type 63’ automatic rifles were produced, with an average annual production of five to six million!

Now, as the only military factory in the country that can produce 'Type 78' pistols and 'Type 78' automatic rifles, Panshan Machinery Factory naturally takes the lead.

As for bullet production, the order from above is to liberalize production and ensure timely supply to the troops.

Wang Tiezhu waited for a long time before he recovered.

After thinking about it like this, Wang Tiezhu discovered that Panshan Machinery Factory could really do what Liu Tao planned.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Tiezhu said: "Then let's hold a meeting and discuss it. If everyone agrees, we will do it!"

When Liu Tao heard this, he immediately laughed.

In a meeting, how could everyone disagree.

In the brand-new dormitory area, at least each leader can be assigned a suite first. This is very attractive to many people who are crowded at home now.

Sure enough, just as Liu Tao expected, all the leaders agreed at the meeting the next day.

As a result, a leading group was established, with Liu Tao directly serving as the group leader, a deputy factory director serving as the deputy group leader, and several leaders forming the leading group.

He took the lead and started preparing for this matter.

The 14th Army is holding a meeting.

Division and regiment leaders of the 40th Division, 41st Division, and 42nd Division all attended the meeting.

By now, everyone knows that the more than 300,000 troops gathered are definitely not just for sightseeing. Two frontline headquarters in Yun Province and Gui Province have been established, just waiting for orders to be issued.

"At present, our division has completed the installation of the 'Type 78' automatic rifle, and the soldiers have completed the prescribed shooting training and are ready to rush to the battlefield at any time to perform tasks." With a bit of pride, Liu Changyou, commander of the 40th Division, took the lead in speaking powerfully.

The 40th Infantry Division is a Category A infantry division, fully staffed and ready for battle at any time. It is also the ace division and main force division of the 14th Army. This unit is also a heroic division with an extremely outstanding historical record.

In the entire 14th Army, the 40th Infantry Division was the first to complete the replacement of the 'Type 78' automatic rifle. Panshan Machinery Factory is under the jurisdiction of the 40th Division, so there is naturally a sufficient supply of bullets.

"At present, our 41st Division has completed the recruitment of troops. Commanders at all levels have been equipped with 'Type 78' pistols, and all soldiers have received 'Type 78' automatic rifles."

The 41st Division and the 42nd Division are both Category B infantry divisions. After receiving the order, they immediately replenished their troops and expanded into Category A Infantry Divisions.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely not as good as the 40th Division.

Through this meeting, we will conduct a thorough survey of each division and regiment. After all, an enlarged meeting will be held soon to study the combat deployment plan, so we must have a good idea of ​​the situation of our troops.

Zhang Jinghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had found out some time ago, but he was shocked. The problem was quite serious.

Affected by the impact of the past ten years, the military training of the army has been at a low level for a long time. The two B divisions, the 41st Division and the 42nd Division, mainly perform production, construction, and construction tasks in peacetime. Military training time is very little, and some soldiers even enter The troops fired less than 5 bullets.

Fortunately, we now have enough guns and ammunition. We urgently conduct training and organize soldiers to conduct target training.

Now, finally, each soldier fires at least 120 rounds of ammunition, which is much better than before.

However, Zhang Jinghua knows very well that the combat effectiveness of the troops ultimately depends on their performance on the battlefield.

There is a huge difference between soldiers who have been baptized by the battlefield and soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.

But no matter what, there is not much time left for everyone. No matter what, you have to go to the battlefield. If the training is not good, just practice on the battlefield with real swords and guns. You can always train an elite soldier.

"This Panshan Machinery Factory has performed well this time." Zhang Jinghua secretly thought that among the military factories in Yun Province, the best performing one was not a large military factory, but a small and medium-sized military factory.

Thanks to the Panshan Machinery Factory, the 14th Army can let go and let the soldiers conduct live-fire shooting training without worrying about bullet consumption.

Otherwise, in the current tense situation, we have to prepare for the battlefield at any time, and we will not be willing to conduct live ammunition shooting.

Even Liu Tao, who was in the mountains, felt the tension of the situation.

The radio in the factory broadcasts news every day.

Liu Tao could see the tense situation in the news.

Every day, a large number of vehicles arrive at Panshan Machinery Factory carrying supplies, and then transport the guns and ammunition produced by Panshan Machinery Factory.

The guards of Panshan Machinery Factory have also been strengthened from the usual platoon to now a company. Each company is fully armed and on guard 24 hours a day.

Tightening his military coat, Liu Tao walked towards the production workshop.

The place that originally produced sniper rifles has now suspended production.

It is said to be a sniper rifle, but it is actually a 56 semi-automatic rifle. With an optical sight, it is a sniper rifle.

In the 1950s, China established its own military factory with the help of the Soviet Union. In 1956, the army finalized the Type 56 series of squad firearms, including the Type 56 submachine gun (imitating the Soviet AK47 7.62mm assault rifle), the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle (imitating the Soviet SKS semi-automatic rifle), and the Type 56 light machine gun (imitating the Soviet RPO light machine gun), which unified the army's weapons and equipment and changed the embarrassing situation of the army's guns and ammunition being "made in all countries".

But it is also sad to say that after so many years, China has not developed a sniper rifle.

What Liu Tao wants to do is a sniper rifle!

Sniper rifles are a magical weapon for hunting enemies.

How can we not have them!

If there is a sniper rifle with advanced performance, it will be much easier to hunt monkeys.

Hunting monkeys is not a short-term thing, but a span of ten years.

Liu Tao has no psychological pressure at all for the weapons he developed to become a killing weapon.

The weapons he developed will only become a weapon for the soldiers to protect China and the people. They are born to defend the country.

Then if possible, sell them for a little money.

Liu Tao is immersed in the development of sniper rifles. For him, as long as he does it, he can accumulate upgrade points to upgrade the sniper rifle.

In this process, he understands the relevant knowledge of sniper rifles and masters relevant skills.

After the development is completed, it is time to consider large-scale production, which involves production technology and materials.

As for this step, it is still a long way to go.

For this kind of sniper rifle, the industrial production requirements are much higher than those of pistols and automatic rifles.

Of course, the price is also much higher. In the international market, a good sniper rifle costs thousands of dollars, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

The bullets of sniper rifles are also special bullets.
