The second update will be later May 7, 1909 AD, Anqing.
"It's incredible that such a heavy artillery was actually made by China itself," Captain Yang Lin excitedly touched the thick barrel in front of him, like stroking a lover's little hand.
Captain Yang Lin, whose pseudonym is Zimu, was from Hefei County, Luzhou Prefecture, Anhui Province.
He was not originally an officer of the People's Liberation Army, but a "liberation fighter."
He was engaged in business with his father in Hanyang, Hubei since he was a child.
Later, he was admitted to the Hubei Armed Forces Academy to study artillery.
After graduation, he served as the officer and company commander of the 8th Biao 3rd Battalion of the 8th Town Artillery of the Hubei New Army.
He was injured and captured in the Battle of Xingshan.
During the prisoner of war camp, he underwent political education, transformed his thinking, and joined the Kyodo News Artillery Corps.
After passing the cultural and skill assessment, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant and served as the deputy company commander of an artillery battalion.
Because of his proficiency in artillery and his outstanding performance in many subsequent battles, he was promoted to captain in June last year and transferred to the newly formed 2nd Battalion of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade as the artillery company commander.
In terms of understanding of artillery, this plane has completely inherited the original "big artillery doctrine" of the original time and space.
Unlike its biggest imaginary enemy, the Imperial Japanese Army, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's understanding of artillery is more similar to the current German Imperial Army and another The Soviet Red Army in time and space.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army does not rely on sparse super-heavy weapons to win.
Instead, under the guidance of the simple military philosophy of "quantity is quality", it concentrates a large number of heavy artillery to cause destruction to the enemy's fortress areas, heavy artillery, technical equipment and manpower. blow.
For heavy artillery above 155 mm, the People's Liberation Army adopts the form of heavy artillery brigades, with the exception of a small number of siege guns and fortress guns, which are individually assigned to military-level units or temporarily strengthened to a certain aspect.
At this time, the People's Liberation Army's heavy artillery force has established a total of 4 heavy artillery brigades.
Each heavy artillery brigade contains 2 heavy artillery battalions, each battalion has 4 companies, and is equipped with a total of 16 "1908 type" 210 mm heavy howitzers. 2 heavy cannon battalions, each battalion has 4 companies.
Company, equipped with a total of 16 "1907 Type" Each battalion has 4 companies of 155mm cannons and 2 heavy howitzers, equipped with a total of 24 "1907-type" 155mm howitzers.
There are a total of 32 210mm heavy howitzers, 32 155mm cannons, and 48 155mm howitzers.
The firepower is very powerful.
The prototype of the "Type 1908" 210mm heavy howitzer is the American Type 115 203 howitzer; the prototype of the "Type 1907" 155mm cannon is the famous "Tom Long Legs", the American Type 59 155mm cannon; the "Type 1907" 155mm cannon The prototype of the howitzer is the Soviet Union's D1 type 152 howitzer, which is China's Type 54 152 howitzer.
Yang Lin's artillery company is a heavy artillery company equipped with 210 mm heavy howitzers.
He has four 210 heavy artillery pieces.
This was something he had never dared to think about before.
When he was in the Hubei New Army, the largest gun he had ever touched was only the 75 Gruson field gun.
He had only seen it in books with a diameter of 100 mm or more.
At that time, only the 75 was produced domestically.
The production quantity of artillery is still very small.
There are only six Guanhuiguoshan fast cannons, so most of the cannons equipped by the Qing army are imported.
Like the current People's Liberation Army, not only can it produce all artillery under 210mm, but its output is also amazing.
I have heard leaders say many times that we need to strengthen the training of artillery novices, otherwise no one will use the built artillery.
"Hi, hello, Captain."
Just as Yang Lin was thinking about it, a greeting in German interrupted him.
Yang Lin turned around and saw that it was the German "suspender" who followed this time.
Oh, it was the observer Major Hans.
This time after the Socialist Party of Science and Technology went to war with Beiyang, several major powers sent observation missions.
The United States, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, the countries with the best relations with the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, mainly sent observation missions to the People's Liberation Army, while Britain and France The observation groups of Japan and Russia are mainly on the Beiyang side.
Because Yang Lin's German was relatively good, his superiors arranged for a German delegation to visit him and asked him to do some reception work.
Ever since he had been in contact with the German observers for a while, these guys had been coming to him often, especially the artillery officer named Hans, who came every day.
"Hello, Mr.
Major" Yang Lin gave him a military salute.
The two saluted each other and started chatting.
Hans also touched the cannon, looked at the cannon with envy and said: "This is really an excellent cannon.
According to my observation, it is quite excellent.

Not only it, but several other artillery pieces are also very good."
Before China, I couldn’t believe you had such great artillery.”
The old German artilleryman couldn't help but compare this artillery with similar domestic ones, and he felt a little ashamed.
The heavy cannon and the 1894 Type 210 heavy rapid-fire cannon are both products of Krupp.
But no matter what aspect of performance it is, it is not as good as the artillery in front of you.
"Haha, of course, China is the first country to use artillery.
We had artillery as early as the Song Dynasty in the 12th century," Yang Lin puffed up his chest and said proudly.
As for whether the "cannons" of the Song Dynasty are real cannons, he doesn't care.
Anyway, the ancient books say "cannons".
I'm not an archaeologist, so I'll just treat it as such.
Anyway, it's absolutely intimidating in front of the foreign devils.
Don't be cowardly "It was only later that the invasion of Manchu barbarians interrupted our country's technological development, so we once lagged behind the world.
But now under the leadership of Chairman Moon, we have stood up again.
Our country's science and technology are also under scientific socialism Under the guidance of his thoughts, there have been leaps and bounds of development, such as the cannons you see now."
Yang Lin almost blurted out.
His long-term political study made him almost casual about this kind of dialogue.
Hans also nodded and said: "Indeed, we must admit that your Excellency Wen is a very great leader.
He has revitalized this ancient country in a short period of time."
"Mr.
Captain, are your troops preparing to unify China in this battle?"
Hans asked tentatively.
Yang Lin replied without missing a beat: "I don't know about that.
It's not something I can know about such a big thing.
I'm just a company commander.
I only know how to obey the orders of my superiors.
We will fight wherever our superiors order us to fight."
"Oh" Hans asked without giving up: "Well, Mr.
Captain, can I see your command post?
I want to see how your computers work.
They are so outstanding.
Their calculation speed is simply amazing." incredible."
The People's Liberation Army seems to have a generous attitude towards these foreign observation groups, allowing them to see as they please, but the pass permissions given to them are very low and can only allow them to operate in unclassified areas.
Many places are blocked on the grounds of military confidentiality and cannot enter.
Go, can't see.
This made these foreign devils very depressed.
"No, that is a confidential area.
There are many military secrets in it.
You must have approval from your superiors to visit."
Yang Lin refused without thinking.
Are you kidding me?
Our advanced computers are there.
They are high-tech equipment and we cannot show them to you foreign devils.
He couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
None of these damn foreign devils were honest.
As soon as they arrived, they looked everywhere and asked questions, wanting to know our secrets.

I don’t know what the superiors thought and why they let them come.
It’s really unreasonable.
Hans chatted for a while and tried many times, but Yang Lin blocked them all, and finally had to leave with regret.
"I can't believe that China's military technology is so advanced.
The performance of the several self-produced cannons they use actually exceeds our active artillery."
As soon as Hans returned to the observation team's station, he told his superiors that this time the observation team Colonel Todman, the leading officer, reported.
Colonel Todman nodded: "Yes, I understand.
I also noticed that many of their weapons are relatively advanced, and their tactics are also very innovative."
Hans added: "In addition, Mr.
Colonel, I also found that their calculation speed of shooting Zhu Yuan is very amazing, at least ten times faster than ours.
I guess they must have used a new type of calculation equipment, otherwise it would be impossible It’s so fast, but their population is very tight, so I really can’t find out.”
Another officer said: "I remembered, I once saw a lot of boxes moved into their command post, as well as generators."
Todman's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, did they change the computer to an electric one and use it in the army?"
"Indeed, if you use an electric one instead, it will be much faster than a hand-cranked one."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Computers at this time were all hand-cranked mechanical computers, so they all thought so.
But in fact, the computers currently used by the People's Liberation Army have exceeded their imagination.
They are the second generation of electronic computers, transistor computers, that appeared 50 years in advance.
Originally, according to Wen Desi's idea, it would be best to go directly to the fourth generation computer, but the current manufacturing process is not yet able to stably produce large-scale integrated circuits, so he had to settle for the second best and use transistor computers first.
Although in Wen Desi's eyes, this kind of thing was lost, it was a super black technology in 1909.
Taudman added: "The country asked me to ask the South China government if it can sell us a batch of artillery."
"How did they answer?"
Hans asked eagerly.
Taudman said with a strange expression: "They agreed, but they said they wouldn't sell the artillery if it's missing.
At least 2 regiments of each type of artillery should be purchased at a time."
In the past, China bought artillery from Germany, but now it's the other way around, and it's even less.
Not selling makes him feel like things are changing.
"Then they need to add electric computers."
Todman nodded: "Of course, we can buy two regiments of artillery, but we must add the kind of electric computer they use."
The American observation group next door was also talking about similar topics.
"Buy it, you must buy it.
These artillery pieces are too advanced," said the head of the American observation group
