Chapter 340 RPG
Ten days later, an offensive toward the north was launched.
Li Yunlong and Wang Meng immediately convened a meeting of cadres at the division level and above, and the chief officers of the seven armored divisions and the artillery division all attended the meeting.
"Everyone, you have been fighting and training very hard during this period, but we have no chance to breathe. We just finished fighting in Linfen, which can be regarded as a practice. Next, we have to continue to move north!"
Li Yunlong poked his fingers at Yangquan and Taiyuan, making a popping sound.
"Next, we will attack Taiyuan and Yangquan!"
The eight division commanders did not show any fear, but became excited instead.
Taiyuan is the largest city in Shanxi. If we can capture Taiyuan and hold it, it would be equivalent to occupying the entire Shanxi.
At that time, it can threaten Mongolia to the north and attack Hebei to the east. Its strategic location is extremely important.
Needless to say, Yangquan is extremely rich in mineral resources. If they take it, their independent column will have no worries about food and drink in the short term.
Next, Wang Meng announced the overall combat deployment.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Panzer Divisions were the Eastern Front offensive group, including:
Wang Huaibao's First Armored Division headed straight for Yangquan.
Zhang Dabiao's 2nd Armored Division was responsible for clearing the county towns around Yangquan.
The Shenquan 3rd Armored Division moved to the east of Yangquan as a reserve force, while preparing to block reinforcements from Shijiazhuang.
The 4th, 5th, and 6th Armored Divisions and the Artillery Division were the Western Front attack group, including:
Ding Wei's 4th Armored Division and Wang Chengzhu's Artillery Division also launched a blitzkrieg against Taiyuan.
Kong Jie's Fifth Armored Division bypassed Taiyuan and was on guard against reinforcements from Xinzhou.
Xing Zhiguo's Sixth Armored Division served as a reserve force, ready to support Taiyuan at any time.
Dai Anlan's 7th Armored Division was stationed south of Pingshun, feinting an attack on Xinxiang and Zhengxian to attract enemy firepower.
"All divisions, prepare yourself. Launch the attack on time in ten days!"
All the division commanders immediately stood up and shouted in unison:
"Yes!"
Each division commander returned to their respective bases to prepare, and then gradually moved towards their respective target areas under the pretext of drills.
Wang Meng was not idle either. He was pulled to the weapons testing ground by Zhou Ren from the Firearms Research Institute.
"Chief of Staff Wang, you are such a talent. Last time you drew a blueprint for us, and then we made this weapon!"
Wang Meng happily opened the wooden box, revealing a long, gourd-shaped individual rocket.
Wang Meng took the individual rocket and began to caress it lovingly.
The individual heavy firepower of ordinary companies in the independent column is insufficient, especially direct-fire weapons.
With this imitation "Type 56 40 Fire" we can attack the Japanese's thin-skinned tanks, vehicles and bunkers. It can hit wherever it is pointed and turn the target into ashes in minutes.
"How was the experiment?"
"The direct firing distance is 150 meters and can penetrate 200 mm of homogeneous armor."
Since the independent column's rocket jet technology is not mature enough, the first individual rocket launcher did not use rocket jet technology (that is, the projectile is pushed forward by the rocket at the tail).
Instead, it uses the explosive force generated by the explosion and combustion of gunpowder inside the rocket launcher to push the warhead forward, so in principle, it is not a rocket launcher, but it is more practical to call it a "handheld howitzer."
The rocket launcher imitated by the Firearms Research Institute has an 80mm caliber hollow charge shaped-charge warhead. The tail rod of the projectile is equipped with spring-leaf stabilizing wings, which open after being fired, allowing it to shoot stably at the target.
The launch tube is 0.65 meters long and weighs 2.75 kilograms. The caliber of the projectile is 82 mm and the weight of the projectile is 1.8 kilograms. The effective range is 150 meters and the maximum is 200 meters. It can fire 3-4 rounds per minute and has an armor penetration of 200 mm.
It is more than enough to defeat the Japanese tanks and individual soldiers.
"Come on, let's fire one shot!?"
Wang Meng immediately loaded the bullet, aimed at the target 100 meters away, and pulled the trigger.
"boom".
A huge explosion accompanied by a high-speed projectile flew towards the target, and in the blink of an eye the wooden target turned into debris all over the sky.
"Good! Not bad! Is the production line set up?"
"Well, the Mechanical Research Institute has helped a lot. We have already built a production line. Now we can produce more than 100 shells and more than 20 launchers every day!"
Wang Meng exclaimed, "Wow!" and ordered Zhou Ren's production line to go into full gear and immediately deliver it to the seven armored divisions, especially the 1st Armored Division and the 4th Armored Division, which were responsible for the attack.
"With this thing, we can attack the Japanese bunkers with one strike!"
Wang Meng left the Firearms Research Institute and then visited various research institutes to check the progress of various research projects.
The 101 Nuclear Bomb Research Institute, the 102 Missile Research Institute and the 103 Jet Fighter Research Institute have all achieved certain results.
In particular, the engine of the 103 Jet Fighter Research Institute has completed its preliminary design and is ready to be assembled and tested.
"Director Qian, thank you for your hard work! Once the jet fighters are produced, we will be completely ahead of European and American countries! Is there anything you need me to help you with?"
Director Qian also spoke frankly and requested the construction of a new supporting factory to process related equipment.
"Chief of Staff, I have a small request. Can you help me solve it?"
"I will take care of the factory's affairs. When the time comes, I will equip you with 100 lathes of various types to meet your die-casting processing requirements. What small request is that? Your request is a big deal to us!"
This sentence made Director Qian feel very relieved. After all, scientific researchers like them who were working on confidential projects would not be able to receive any honors in the short term, and some projects might not even be able to achieve any results and ended in failure.
"I just want to get some benefits for our scientific researchers. Can you increase the subsidies? Some other research institutes that have inputs and outputs receive bonuses, but ours..."
Ever since Wang Meng distributed some of the profits to various research institutes and factories, the enthusiasm of these researchers and workers has been very high.
However, for some purely theoretical research institutes or those in the pioneering stage, there is no such thing as an "incentive bonus".
"Director Qian, I was inconsiderate. We will correct it immediately!"
Wang Meng immediately checked out those purely theoretical research institutes, such as the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Mathematics, etc.
The opinions of the Pingshun Academy of Sciences Management Committee were also sought, and the lowest bonus among all the institutes will be paid to these theoretical institutes and the three confidential institutes.
At the same time, if significant results are achieved, you can also apply for additional bonuses.
Wang Meng has seen too many examples of people giving up theory and engaging in lucrative industries because their salaries were too low to support their wives and children.
Theoretical research is like the foundation of a house. It must be done and done well. To do this, we must ensure the treatment of researchers. The money must be given in place!
The "incentive bonuses" from previous months were reissued, and various research institutes were competing with each other to engage in "large-scale production."
The 201st Unit in Qingyang was also preparing to board the plane and return to Pingshun to prepare for the upcoming battle.
