Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

The plan proposed by Zhou Yang also drew on the previous approach of the Fifth Machinery Department in handling the "Three Thousand Iron Cavalry to Nanyang".

At that time, the country was also facing the same problems now, and the most serious one was undoubtedly the Fifth Machinery Department, which was responsible for the research, development and production of tanks.

At that time, we received an order for 3,000 tanks. According to our country's tank production capacity at the time, this order would take at least five to six years.

What's more, foreign parties have continuously put forward more than a dozen technical improvements and 5 or 6 improved car models in subsequent orders. For example, they requested to add a simple three-proof device, a main clutch hydraulic assist device and an orientation indicator to the 69-IIA. The machine's turret steering gear, improved air compressor charging system, etc.

Even the later-delivered 69-IIA required the use of a laser range-finding and aiming range-finding scope and a smoke grenade launcher, etc., which made the subsequent technical research particularly difficult.

For example, previously delivered tanks were equipped with a simple fire control system. The laser rangefinder was large in size and was installed on the shield outside the turret, with poor protection performance.

Foreign parties proposed that the laser rangefinder be miniaturized and moved into the turret on the subsequently delivered 69-IIA tank, and integrated with the gunner's sight to form a laser rangefinder sight, with the range increased from 3000 meters to 5000 meters. , and required that the original structure and size of the tank should not be changed, and the sight scope could be directly installed at the original gunner's sight position.

This requirement is unprecedented for Soviet T-series tanks, and the task is very arduous.

All this put great pressure on the Fifth Machinery Department at that time.

But this did not scare our military workers. After the foreign parties raised these issues, the Fifth Bureau of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery immediately organized a battle to solve the problems.

To be on the safe side, they organized two teams to develop independently and select the best.

The two groups of factories and research institutes worked together and worked hard day and night. It only took a few months to come up with the prototypes on time. The live-fire firing results showed that both plans basically met the requirements, but some problems were also exposed.

The two groups worked non-stop to improve. In November, they conducted another comparative test, and all met the design requirements. Finally, it was decided to optimize and improve again based on one of the plans, and finally completed the design of the new tank.

The new tank not only meets export needs and improves the performance of the tank's fire control system, but also provides advanced and practical fire control systems for the transformation of a large number of active tanks in my country.

Also, in order to formulate a command tank communication frequency table, the research team broke the routine and completed three years of work in less than half a year.

In one and a half years, the improved design of six new tank models, the capacity expansion and transformation of the production line, and the preparation of process tooling were all completed on time.

The new tank did not live up to our expectations. Once exported, it quickly aroused great repercussions in the international arms market. It not only proved the strength of our country's defense industry, but also improved the international credibility of our country's ordnance industry.

More importantly, through this incident, we have also cultivated a group of outstanding military industrial enterprises and military workers.

During the entire production period, in addition to the final assembly plant, all cooperating units such as the artillery factory, engine factory, and fire control factory that are responsible for supporting tasks also regard the export as a top priority and go all out to overcome difficulties and never delay the final assembly. Factory hind legs.

Some even adjust their original production plans, preferring to sacrifice output value to ensure the completion of foreign trade tasks.

For example, Aviation Factory 133 undertook the production task of hydraulic components for the new tank project. After receiving the drawings, it immediately organized trial production. The chief engineer directed technical research in the trial production workshop for two consecutive days and nights, and produced qualified products within three months. Completed supporting tasks in an all-round way.

In the end, with the joint efforts of all parties, our country completed the largest tank export contract as scheduled within the three-year contract period, creating a new historical record in the history of the tank industry for short development cycle, quick finalization, and quick production. It not only won the country Honor has won credibility for the weapons industry and created considerable economic benefits.

It was precisely because there were ready-made homework to copy that Zhou Yang came up with such a solution.

However, compared to the method of the Fifth Machinery Department in the previous life, Zhou Yang's plan was larger in scale, involved more units, and produced greater effects.

According to Zhou Yang's idea, this big battle not only involves military industrial units with export tasks, but also includes scientific research institutes and military production departments across the country.

The goal is not only to complete the production tasks required for the order, but also to focus on "innovative design levels", "innovative process standards", "improving product quality" and other aspects.

In short, it is necessary to increase production capacity while also improving product quality.

According to Zhou Yang's idea, scientific research institutes ensure design standards, military industrial enterprises ensure production quality, and front-line employees implement "big shifts and continuous rotation" to work overtime to grab time and maintain progress, focusing on concentrating efforts to accomplish big things.

After listening to Zhou Yang's ideas, Mr. Jiang was overjoyed and immediately asked him to write these ideas into written materials, and then put them forward at the meeting when the time was right.

Zhou Yang naturally couldn't refuse, so he worked overtime to compile all his ideas into a plan.

When the meeting officially started, after the elder who presided over the meeting raised the issue, hundreds of military industry bosses participating in the meeting randomly started discussions.

However, in the face of such a complex problem, everyone can only put forward some suggestions based on the actual situation of their respective units. Although there are some merits, they are not of much help to the big problem at hand.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Zhou Yang came up with the plan for the "National War of Military Industrial Enterprises" at the instruction of Mr. Jiang.

After listening to Zhou Yang's plan, all the senior officials, including the Great Elder, felt that the plan was very feasible, and then asked the heads of participating scientific research institutes and military industrial enterprises to analyze and discuss the plan.

After several days of intensive discussion, everyone partially modified and optimized the original plan proposed by Zhou Yang, and finally formed a more feasible plan.

Subsequently, the plan was passed at the meeting!

At the beginning of April, the above officially issued a notice to launch a general war to the vast majority of scientific research institutes and military industrial units across the country, requiring each unit to focus on solving the problems faced by its arsenals and fields under the organization of each machine department. It is necessary to Guarantee the delivery of foreign trade orders.

In order to better implement the plan for this big battle, Zhou Yang was directly appointed by his superiors as the deputy commander-in-chief of the plan.

Although his rank has not been improved and he is still deputy military level, his influence has greatly increased.

Because the chief commander of this plan is the Grand Elder, the deputy commanders are Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang, and the ministers of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Machine Departments.

Zhou Yang himself didn't pay too much attention to this. He knew very well that what he was doing now was not for fame and fortune, but for this suffering country to realize its revival faster, to stand among the nations of the world, and to let our people If we can truly straighten our backs and conduct ourselves as a human being, those gangsters and robbers who covet us can sit down and reason with us.

Therefore, in the following time, Zhou Yang devoted himself to his work.

Under his guidance, the Sickle Plan, the Arms Overseas Plan, and the Military-Industrial War Plan... all progressed steadily in accordance with the established plans, and all fields were on the track of leapfrog development.

All in all, the future is promising...
