Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 287 Founder of Dongfeng Express Company

Perspective Back to Jin Province, today the Eighth Route Army has two extremely important new weapons experiments.

Considering safety and confidentiality, Huang did not choose to directly use the shooting ranges around Taiyuan as a venue. Instead, he took the bosses back to the mountainous area of ​​the southeastern Shanxi base by transport plane.

Looking at Huang He who was leading the way with a mysterious face, the brigade commander could not help but curled his lips and said:

“What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? The sun is almost setting and you still want to take us to see new weapons.”

“I just saw Fang Ziyi’s 192 Hurricane in the escorting fighter formation. The new thing your Experimental Research Bureau has come up with this time should be an air-to-ground weapon, right?”

“Don’t be too pretentious, let me reveal some basic data to you first, so that we can make some mental preparations in advance.”

The brigade commander's guess is not unreasonable. After all, Fang Ziyi has always been known for his efficiency in ground attacks. In theory, escorting is not his strong point.

 At this time, the opponent appears in the formation, most likely responsible for the demonstration of new weapons.

Facing the curious eyes of everyone, Huang He smiled and told everyone to be calm, and then led the bosses across the runway to the hangar not far away.

After arriving at the destination, what came into view was a Spitfire fighter jet. Next to its fuselage, there were more than a dozen researchers making the last recording before the experiment.

 Seeing the real owner arrive at the scene, Zhong Lin led a young man and walked towards the bosses.

After saying hello, he first ordered the staff on site to take the deputy commander and his party to their seats, and then led Huang He to the side of the new weapons.

“Come on, come on, this is the basic data of the new rocket. We basically made it according to the drawings you left.”

“Based on the test results of the wind tunnel experiment, Corey’s comrades made slight modifications to the shape and material of the tail fin to improve the stability and range of the rocket’s ballistic trajectory after launch.”

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Xu Lanru. He just joined our Border Area Weapons Experimental Research Bureau last month. He is a college student recommended to us by Director Zeng."

After hearing the familiar name, Huang He put down the information in his hand, suddenly raised his head and stared at the other person's face for several seconds.

As a time traveler, he knew that the newly graduated college student in front of him would participate in a very important imitation project for China in eighteen years.

 In a sense, he can be regarded as one of the founders of Dongfeng Express Company.

However, in Huang He’s memory, the opponent should now lay a solid foundation in the arsenal in Xingping, doing some basic work on repairing guns and manufacturing grenades and other light weapons.

As if he noticed his director's doubts, Zhong Lin took out the backup file of his new colleague from the folder under his arm.

 After browsing briefly, Huang He took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Lanru and asked his doubts.

"Welcome to join the Border Area Weapons Experimental Research Bureau. From now on, you can stay in the first department and continue studying with Lao Zhong."

“I read in the file that you used to work at the 31st Arsenal in Guoli. What made you give up your pretty good salary and come to our base?”

 “Don’t be nervous, I’m just curious.”

 Theoretically speaking, the treatment and benefits provided by preserved fruits to Xu Lanru are not bad. After all, he is a college student who knows the basics and is a serious talent cultivated by his family.

According to the original development route, Baldhead will provide the other party with an opportunity to study abroad in three years.

Facing the sudden question, the young man was not nervous. Instead, he showed a sunny smile.

“Actually, I had the idea of ​​coming to the border area a long time ago. I participated in the December 9th Movement when I was in college, but I didn’t find a specific path when I graduated.”

“As for work, that is arranged by Guozuo. All graduates of the Ordnance Engineering Department of the Ordnance Engineering School will be assigned to internships in major arsenals for a period of time.”

This answer did not surprise Huang He. After all, smart people always turn left easily.

 In the original timeline, Xu Lanru would continue to earn money for the first eight years, and finally defect to the midfielder at the right time.

But it’s good to come now, as the scientific research conditions in the border area are better than those for preserved fruits. What's more, comparing the two sides, the border area is better in terms of teaching resources and security.

Looking at the two people with similar experiences, Huang He smiled from the bottom of his heart. Who doesn’t like capable helpers?

  ·······

 After a brief conversation, the three of them came to the tarmac together.

At this time, the Spitfire has completed its pre-takeoff inspection work, and the ground team is loading Type 41-7 122mm rockets under its wings. Compared with Type 41-1, the new rocket has a slimmer shape and has begun to look like a later-generation weapon. It is not light in weight, weighing a full 39 kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary adults to lift it.

 In the designated attack area in the distance, there are white circular targets prepared in advance on the ground. The range of each target is a circle with a diameter of twenty to thirty meters.

After getting close to the fighter jet, Huang He reached out and touched the Type 41-7 rocket, and then said to Fang Ziyi beside him:

“The next demonstration work will be left to you. You must improve the accuracy of the new weapon as much as possible so that it can be in sharp contrast with the second weapon.”

"I can give you an accurate answer for what you asked last time. In three months we will have new aircraft, including a professional close support aircraft, and its name is Typhoon."

 “Come on, perform well.”

 After learning the name of the new plane, Fang Ziyi's eyes lit up and he regretted that time passed so slowly.

 As the flight time increased, the Hurricane's small water pipe and bomb load could no longer meet his battlefield needs. It had long been his dream to own an aircraft with a large take-off weight.

 “Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!”

 Ten minutes later, the Spitfire was completely ready. Amidst a buzzing sound, its propeller began to rotate slowly and quickly. Then, under the guidance of the ground staff, it slowly drove to the runway.

After climbing for a while, Fang Ziyi had reached the designated height and area. The deputy commander and his team at the observation position also took out their telescopes and started observing.

As an experienced fighter pilot, Fang Ziyi circled briefly and then began to dive at a small angle.

As the flames flashed under the wings of the Spitfire, several aerial rockets flew towards the target with tail flames, and a sea of ​​​​fire suddenly rose on the ground.

The accuracy of these rockets is pretty good, the dispersion area is not too large, and only one of them left the designated attack area.

It's a pity that the big bosses have seen similar scenes countless times, and even the deputy general staff officer and deputy commander-in-chief who don't often go to the front line find it a bit boring.

Although everyone gave the new rocket a full round of applause, anyone could tell that the response was not as good as the first time.

"Huang He, this is the large-caliber rocket you mentioned last time. The destructive power does seem very good, but it seems to be a bit too powerful if it is only used to deal with the Japanese."

“What the new weapons can do, the red sun rockets can also do. To put it mildly, the enemies in North China don’t seem to be worthy of the big guys we just used.”

Hearing what the brigade commander said, Huang He nodded in agreement.

Whether it is the enemy's Type 95 light tank, various types of fighter jets, or artillery positions of various calibers, as long as the Red Sun rocket can hit it reliably, it will be a hit.

  122mm is really a waste of production capacity when placed on the Asian battlefield.

But if it were just a new type of rocket, then Huanghe would definitely not go to all the trouble to let the bosses fly to the mountainous areas of the base area in southeastern Shanxi.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, he took off the portable communicator from his waist and said:

“Old Zhong, the appetizer time is over, it’s time to bring out the hard dishes for everyone to take a look at. Take out all your belongings and perform a volley for the big guys.”

 “Fire!”

Just when the brigade commander was about to ask about the next arrangements, a series of strange and deafening sounds came from behind the crowd.

A few seconds later, pieces of red light that were more dazzling than the setting sun streaked across the sky above the airport and sprinkled on the planned attack area in the open space in the distance.

That unfamiliar attack method was as bright as a meteor shower, leaving everyone present stunned in place.

The target position in the distance was filled with fire caused by the explosion, followed by thunderous roars and air waves.

 After ten seconds, the attack ends.

The entire airport was silent. Even Huang He, who was watching a new weapon for the first time, didn't know how to describe his mood. The thick smoke rising in the distance seemed to remind that the scene just now was not a dream.

“Unstoppable! Unstoppable! What kind of weapon is this!”

“If this appears on the battlefield, it will only take ten seconds to severely damage a regiment of enemies! If the Japanese are unprepared, it is not impossible to completely annihilate them.”

It seems that the deputy commander opened the conversation. The new weapons that have not been seen before immediately triggered a series of discussions. Huang He heard several dialects from different regions. .

There is still one chapter left in the early hours of the morning. I can’t finish it without going to sleep.
