After controlling the weight of the barrel, the weight of the gun frame supporting the barrel is estimated to be about 25 kilograms, and then the gun base will offset the recoil of the shell about 10 millimeters, so the overall weight should be about 30 kilograms! "
With the words from these people, I quickly integrated the general design points of this mortar, that is, the three-in-one assembly method of tripod, gun barrel and gun base, and the caliber was scheduled to be 10 mm to 15 mm, and the overall weight was controlled by 100 kg.
At this time, this mortar has not even completed the detailed design, and it has already had its initial tactical positioning, that is, battalion-level support artillery.
"If this artillery is used to support an infantry battalion, it needs six doors to cover the entire battalion front!"
At this time, a young stereo got up. "If the caliber of this mortar is reduced to 50 mm to 60 mm, the weight is expected to be reduced to 40 kg, and it is not impossible to further reduce it to 30 kg! Can this meet the requirements of infantry platoon and company mobility? "
Zhao Dongyun heard these words, and his mind was lively. I haven’t even revealed the small caliber mortar. He just thought of it first.
I couldn’t help looking at the young man carefully. He is not a foreigner, but the only Chinese among the five engineers present today. At most, he is only twenty years old. He is not wearing a mandarin jacket and gown, but wearing a black braid behind his head to announce his identity to the world.
At this time, Zhao Dongyun noted that Zhao Chenbin, the young man he had brought with him, immediately leaned over to Zhao Dong Yuner’s ear and said, "This is the former Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau of xu lihua who was good at machines!"
Although I don’t know xu lihua’s true ability, today, since Kurt can be brought to Baoding as an assistant, obviously there are still some technical abilities. Considering that there are too few skilled people these days, Zhao Dongyun couldn’t help but fall in love and thought that if this person is really capable, he might as well give him a chance.
Said, "Oh, Mr. Xu, this idea is very interesting. Tell me!"
Li Xu listened to the excitement and said, "Although the mortar of about 10 mm is already light in weight, the formula can be further reduced to 50 to 60 mm, and it is very likely that the weight of the machine gun will be lower, so as to really accompany the rifle mobile attack!"
Zhao Dongyun nodded. "That’s true. You added the design of small caliber mortars to the plan!"
Although this xu lihua still doesn’t know what tactics the 60mm mortar has, he is also happy to hear that Zhao Dongyun agrees with him.
But then again, even Zhao Dongyun himself didn’t understand the tactical positioning of 60 mm mortar for a while, or he didn’t know whether this 60 mm mortar could meet the tactical needs today.
A weapon and equipment must be based on the overall tactical arrangement. For example, Zhao Dongyun wants machine guns, grenades and even 10 mm mortars. These weapons can easily find their own tactical positioning in Beiyang Army today. For example, heavy machine guns are designed to resist the enemy’s dense charge, and their tactical positioning is also very easy to find. That is, it is very easy to find a fire attack before melee, whether it is to charge the enemy with a wave of grenades or to throw grenades into the enemy trenches at the same time.
The tactical positioning of the 10 mm mortar in Beiyang army today is also quite accurate, that is, it acts as a medium-range fire support for battalion-level troops, which is strictly an artillery positioning.
However, the 60mm mortar was not carefully considered by Zhao Dongyun before. If this weapon is positioned according to the tactics of later generations, it belongs to platoon-level infantry support weapon, which is mainly used to attack enemy frontier shelters and fortifications.
In addition, the main tactics of machine guns in later generations were to clear the enemy machine gun shelters and suppress the enemy infantry firepower in World War II. However, tactical operations are all about establishing modern skirmisher tactics, and whether this tactic can be brought into play in today’s countries’ rampant charge tactics is another question.
Of course, something is better than nothing. It can be said that the effect is not as obvious as that during World War II.
In addition, if you can really get it out, I’m afraid Zhao Dongyun has learned how to deal with this weapon and wave many brain cells to write tactical guidance documents.
Chapter 57 The first order
Zhao Dongyun showed Yuan Shikai several rifles and grenades produced by Fuyuan Machine Factory as a gift after watching the test firing of several weapons by his own Fuyuan Machine Factory, saying that mortars are still conceptually produced on paper, and it is only after the samples are available that they can be shown to Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai looked at this style rifle in his hand for several times, and then looked at it for a long time with an original rifle imported from Germany. "It doesn’t seem to have changed much. If your Fuyuan Machine Factory can produce it in large quantities, then we won’t talk to the Germans!"
Yuan Shikai broke his heart when he learned about the ordnance needed by Beiyang New Army!
At one time, Yuan Shikai wanted to import a large number of ordnance from Japan, and also signed two orders before and after, ordering the required guns and artillery respectively for the Beijing Banner Standing Army and the Beiyang Standing Army Zuozhen.
However, after these two days, Yuan Shikai was forced to choose to import ordnance from western countries because of the tense situation in Northeast China and accelerated the pace of expanding troops and hoarding ammunition.
First, a batch of Manlixia bullets and a dozen guns were imported from the British foreign firm to supplement the Wuwei Right Army, but the price was so expensive that Yuan Shikai almost vomited blood.
However, there is no way for you to see the establishment of the Beiyang Standing Army Right Town is about to rise, and Zhao Dongyun’s third association has been compiling and practicing. However, all the guns and artillery needed have not been done, which forced Yuan Shikai to contact the Germans and want to import a batch of German guns and ammunition.
There is nothing to say about artillery, just find Krupp factory to import it, but Yuan Shikai is a lot more cautious about rifles.
At one time, the Germans also wanted Yuan Shikai’s latest German style, and 19 Germans in Mao Se also lowered their prices several times to try to get Yuan Shikai to buy Mao Se 19 rifles, but they didn’t know that Yuan Shikai didn’t want this Mao Se 19. What? One word is expensive!
Even though the Germans kept cutting prices, the Mao Se 19 rifle was still too expensive for Yuan Shikai!
Alas, it’s not that I don’t want this thing, but that I can’t afford to buy it for seventy taels of silver, and I can’t afford it either, because this Mao Se 19 is an S-bomb in the 792 rifle train of Mao Se, which is also commonly known as a pointed bomb.
There isn’t a factory or bureau that can produce this kind of ammunition in China now. If you want 19 rifles, you have to build a production line specially. You can’t always rely on imports!
At this time, Zhao Dongyun enlisted many people to set up a Fuyuan machine factory, and boasted that the trial production could be achieved in half a year, and the designed output would reach 50 pieces per day in two years, with a bomb production line and a fireworks production line.
In this way, Fuyuan machinery factory has rifles, ammunition and propellant. If it can really reach the design output, it can meet the demand of Beiyang New Army for rifles.
Moreover, Fuyuan Machinery Factory produces rifles in the same way, so it can produce the same rifle with the southern Hubei Gun Factory and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and then play the same gun.
This is very important for China to unify rifle models.
Whether Yuan Shikai is Zhao Dongyun or not, it would be better if Zhao Dongyun thinks that Beiyang needs an arsenal, while Yuan Shikai thinks that Beiyang needs an arsenal, but at the same time, the rifles and ammunition produced by this arsenal can meet the needs of the new army.
Here, the head involves a problem that was considered in 192, that is, the history of gun unification and caliber unification. Because Beiyang did not make rifle factories, it is easy to talk. Yuan Shikai directly suggested that small-caliber Mao Se rifles should be used, and the caliber of 6 mm should be chosen. Whether it is unreasonable for China’s human body, it is unreasonable for China’s military industry today.
Because at the beginning, the only weapon factory that could mass-produce 792 mm ammunition was the rifle, but the first thing was to let the factories stop rifle production and spend huge sums of money to ask the Germans to design a new gun and introduce this 6-caliber Mao Se 19 rifle production line. After this decision, there was no place to spend more money.
What China or Beiyang New Army needs today is a large number of cheap, uniform rifles and corresponding production lines, and it is only necessary for this rifle to be a new type of continuous rifle. From this point of view, it is not important whether it is a Japanese 30-year rifle or a German rifle. What matters is which rifle China has mass production capacity.
It is a false proposition to discuss which rifle is more suitable for China people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Because of the root, there is no choice of a rifle. Hanyang Zao has the ability of mass production, but you can’t get a rifle that he can mass produce.
If there is no Fuyuan Machine Factory, Yuan Shikai’s first choice is Japanese rifles, and his second choice is German second-hand rifles. However, since there is Fuyuan Machine Factory, he is naturally ready to wait for Fuyuan Machine Factory rifles.
"This is the trial-production of Z-type rifle, which is definitely better than the old-fashioned second-hand rifle in German hands, and better than Hubei Gun Factory and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but even so, the overall design is slightly backward, especially the design of barrel holster is extremely redundant. Engineers at Fuyuan Machine Factory have come up with a new design scheme, which will remove the barrel holster and protect the wood. In addition, the door and magazine will be improved with reference to the design of today’s new rifles. It is expected that new trial-production samples will be produced at the beginning of the year!"
Zhao Dongyun explained to Yuan Shikai in detail that this time he showed these rifles and grenades to Yuan Shikai not only as an identity, but also as an arms dealer, knowing that he is the big boss of Fuyuan Machinery Factory.
"Well, it would be better if we could have a better improved model, but we are not in a hurry to improve it. Now the focus of Fuyuan Machinery Factory is to put mass production in order to form mass production as soon as possible!" When Yuan Shikai said this, he saw Zhao Dongyun. "Now your third association doesn’t have a new gun to train in old Mao Se. If Fuyuan Machinery Factory can’t achieve rapid mass production, I’m afraid it will import rifles from Germans!"
Zhao Dong Yundao "I’m afraid it will take more than a year for the machine factory to finish mass production, but after the beginning of the year, the machine factory should be able to start trial production in small batches, and then it can gradually meet the needs of various ministries!"
Yuan Shikai also knows that this matter is urgent, and the whole Beiyang Standing Army Right Town is far from being an army. Even the Third Association has not recruited new recruits now. After recruiting new recruits and training in the old-fashioned single-shot Mao Se for a few months, it is estimated that Fuyuan Machine Factory will be able to carry out small-scale trial production at that time, even if the trial production period has a daily output of 15 units, it will be enough to produce rifles except those of the Third Association in half a year.
By the time Fuyuan Machinery Factory reaches the designed output, the whole Beiyang New Army should not be a problem.
After reading this rifle, Zhao Dongyun showed the Grenade to Yuan Shikai. Naturally, Yuan Shikai was not allowed to let the soldiers throw live ammunition. After reading it, Yuan Shikai was very interested and threw three grenades in person regardless of the danger. Finally, he said, "This Grenade is simple and convenient. If the price is as cheap as you said, it can be rationed to a large number of sergeants!"
"This thing can be attacked, retreated and defended. It is a sharp weapon for the two armies to fight. When the Huai army and the powers fought against each other for many times, our army often collapsed instantly when it entered the hand-to-hand combat stage. This shows that our army continues to have high hand-to-hand combat ability and grenades can greatly attack the morale and formation of enemy soldiers before hand-to-hand combat!" Zhao Dongyun said, "If the enemy lines up and attacks, when the enemy is 20 meters away from our army, our army will throw a Grenade, and one person can throw a bomb. When a hundred bombs ring together, the enemy will not collapse!"
"Can Fuyuan Machinery Factory mass-produce it? If so, please order two thousand trials first!" Anyway, grenades are cheap goods, and it won’t cost much to order thousands of grenades. Yuan Shikai soon reached the first formal order for Fuyuan Machinery Factory.
With the first one, there will be the second one. Yuan Shikai continued, "It is estimated that your rifle will be put into trial production in a small amount in a month or two. Set a trial of 200 first!"
Zhao Dongyun listened and laughed. "No problem, I’ll go to Tianjin later!"
Regardless of whether this order is more or less, it has been proved that there is no problem for Fuyuan Machinery Factory to enter Beiyang New Army.
After leaving Yuan Shikai, Zhao Dong Yun didn’t go to the East Military Camp but went back to the city residence. Since he presided over the compilation and training of the Third Association, he was less likely to go home because he stayed in the East Military Camp for a long time. Today, since the capital city is over, he naturally won’t go out of the city and go back to the military camp directly.
See Zhao Dongyun back Fang Relan is not much reaction is’ oh’ and then continue to see her as if Zhao Dongyun is not as important as the afternoon sunshine, she didn’t even get up.
At this time, she was trapped in the living room sofa with a blanket, and the sun shone through the curtains and glass windows in the living room. The sun shone on her face and showed a light yellow light.
Zhao Dongyun handed the coat to the maid and walked over. "What are you looking at? You are so fascinated!"
Fang Ruolian put her hand in the middle so that Zhao Dongyun could see the cover and said "Bible!"
Zhao Dongyun smiled after reading it. "You don’t still want to be a nun!"
Fang Ruolian asked, "Why not?"
