Chapter 718 Too many new equipment is also a worry

Yan Yongnian’s question is basically a straight shot——

"This military parade is very nice. Can you let me go and see it too?"

In fact, according to common sense.

It's hard.

Because the term "military industry mouth" of the Science and Technology Commission basically refers to military equipment research and development personnel.

Chang Haonan was included because he was responsible for the research and development of the Taihang project.

Otherwise, at this moment, thirteen of the twelve military-industrial groups would like to be engaged in real estate as a side business, so the scope would be a bit too big.

But it's not completely impossible.

As Yan Yongnian said just now, the first production task of this die forging press is the J-11B body.

"Professor Yan, please don't worry."

Chang Haonan said as he wrapped the model and put it into a bag:

"The invitation list for the military parade is issued in batches, and the last batch should not be confirmed until the end of August or the beginning of September. So as long as we don't cause problems when we trial production to present National Day gifts, the chances should be great."

Yan Yongnian's eyes lit up.

During the 35th anniversary military parade, he was still working in the old Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Coincidentally, we are also working on a die forging press.

It's just that I didn't produce any particularly iconic results, so I didn't even think about being invited to the ceremony.

And if he waits another ten years, he will definitely have retired, and it is even less likely that he will be specially invited here.

Yan Yongnian still has this self-awareness.

So this year is basically his only chance.

……

at the same time.

Tongzhou, Zhangjiawan.

A convoy of more than a dozen HY4731 semi-trailers, with double flashes, slowly drove into the temporary camp that had just been set up.

At the end of the queue, there were two buses following.

Parade Village.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, since the military parade was held every National Day, but the scale was not large, the military parade troops were basically drawn from the surrounding areas of the capital, and training was conducted in their respective camps.

But later, as the frequency of military parades decreased, the scale increased accordingly, and review units began to be drawn from across the country.

So we need a place to put all the reference personnel and equipment together for joint training.

It also gives those foreign troops a place to station themselves.

So there were two parade villages located around the capital.

Among them, this one in Zhangjiawan is where the vehicle formation is stationed for training.

Another one for the foot troops is located in Shahe.

The nature of the air force formation is quite special, so it still adopts the mode of dispersed training during normal times, and then moves to the vicinity of the capital during the final joint training stage.

Under the command of the parade village manager, the escorting soldiers jumped down from the truck cab and quickly untied the cables holding the tank.

At the same time, the crewmen drawn from an armored division at the foot of Yanshan also stepped off the bus, found the tank with the corresponding number in groups of three, and climbed into their respective positions with unskilled movements.

18 vehicles in total.

About one-third of them were just pulled over from the test track, so the surface of the car body was covered with a thick layer of mud.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly smaller group of people in casual clothes got off another bus.

It is easy to see from their movements that they have not received any military training and should not be reference personnel.

The same groups came to the tank, but there were only two people in each group.

One of them came to the rear of the trailer and began to give instructions to unload the truck.

The other one was lying on the car body, watching the driver's movements closely, and giving some guidance from time to time.

The crew members during the test are all employees of research institutes or manufacturers, but the military parade will definitely still require the participation of the People's Liberation Army.

Therefore, the 54 selected training backbones have only operated this latest model of third-generation main battle tank on a simulator before.

This is my first time touching a real car.

In fact, they even had a fourth member of the vehicle crew in the original unit. However, with the continuous development of military technology, the two third-generation tanks that will participate in the parade no longer have a second gunner (that is, a loader). .

"Om-"

Soon, the first tank spewed out a plume of black smoke on the flatbed truck, and the low-frequency roar of the diesel engine almost echoed through the entire parade village.

For some experienced veteran tank soldiers, they can tell that the diesel engine used in this tank is quite powerful just from the movement at the moment of startup.

The perception of tank soldiers sitting in the car will be more obvious.

The first driver to engage reverse gear and release the brakes was immediately startled by the huge torque, and almost subconsciously pressed the brakes again.

The newly designed suspension and chassis allow the nearly 50-ton tank to stop stably on the trailer board in an instant, with almost no trace of nodding forward or backward.

But it hurts the trailer below.

The rated load of the Type 82 tank trailer itself is 50 tons. Now that the tank moves on it, the trailer suspension immediately makes an overwhelming and harsh sound.

Fortunately, it was finally removed without incident.

And such a big movement here has already attracted the attention of other troops being paraded who are also stationed in the parade village.

Even for most of the insiders, this is the first time this type of tank has appeared in front of them.

The impact brought by the King of Land Warfare is difficult to match with other equipment, no matter how advanced it is.

Not to mention anything else, just the tank gun, which visually measured about 6 meters in length, and the tank's clean and neat starting posture, are enough to show the extraordinary performance of this model.

Especially for the crew members of another tank formation originally stationed somewhere in Yanjiao——

Behind them, although the chassis also has six pairs of road wheels, the turret is still an 88B with a pot head shape, which instantly becomes unsightly...

On the simulated rostrum further away, several commanders were watching the unloading process through binoculars in their hands.

"This should be the last batch here in Zhangjiahe, right?"

General Li Liangxin, the commander-in-chief of the military parade, put the telescope aside and asked Yang Hong, the chief instructor of the vehicle formation next to him and the general person in charge of the Zhangjiawan Parade Village.

"It's the last batch of reference equipment."

The latter quickly put down his telescope and replied:

"There are two backup vehicles of 9910 engineering vehicles behind. Because they are still on the production line, they will not be delivered until next month."

"Ugh……"

Li Liangxin sighed, the joyful expression on his face had been replaced by worry:

"The equipment for this military parade... is really new."

He shook his head and continued with complicated emotions:

"When I received the document the year before last and was transferred to the Beijing Military Region, I made a list of the planned reference equipment in advance. I found that whether on the ground or in the air, the so-called 'new' equipment was the batch that was put into service in the early 90s. It has been in the hands of the army for several years, and it was at the best stage of running-in and stability. At that time, I was relieved and thought that the pressure of military parade command should not be too great. "

"Who would have thought that in less than two years, the contents of that table, except that the rifles of the foot formation were completely unchanged, have basically been changed..."

"The aircraft are new, the tanks are new, and the guided missiles are also new... Not only are they new, but many of them are prototype equipment that is in the finalization process. If something goes wrong on the day of the military parade, I'm afraid. I want to become a criminal in history..."

For the first time, Li Liangxin felt that equipment was updated too quickly, which sometimes was not necessarily a good thing.

"Commander, in fact, our air equipment is not new anymore..."

Zheng Liangqun, the only one next to him wearing an Air Force uniform, replied half-jokingly:

"Previously, comrades from the aviation industry told me that the latest improved version of Project 9910, which uses a new airframe, avionics and engine, is expected to begin test flights in the middle of this year. They asked me if I could also consider joining. In Project 12, there is also a 10-ton helicopter called Zhi-..."

"Don't……"

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Li Liangxin, who had already put on a mask of pain:

"Now these prototype equipment are causing me insomnia and hair loss every night. If there are two new ones, they will still be the most trouble-free aerial equipment. The Mediterranean Sea above my head will probably turn into the Pacific Ocean..."
