The several mountains where the arsenal is located have been blocked by the garrison regiment layer by layer, even if Li Hao himself enters, he will have to go through layers of review!

After passing through the three checkpoints set by the guard troops in a row, the roar of the machine finally reached Li Hao's ears!

Follow the sound all the way to the halfway up the mountain, and the workers and guards you encounter along the way become more and more numerous!

Everyone is very busy and comes and goes!

"Hello regiment commander, Jiang Wenyu, the director of the arsenal, has been ordered to report!" As soon as Jiang Wenyu received the news that Li Hao was coming, he rushed here, and finally arrived before Li Hao entered the cave!

"Come here to ask you for help, things are a little urgent, you call Zhang Yancheng, the director of the weapons branch, and Li Yunshan, the director of the ammunition branch, together, we will go directly to the cave where weapons and equipment are produced, there is something for you to produce!"

"By the way, get a few more empty gas barrels, I'll be useful!"

"Boom...... Bang bang bang bang ......"

Walking into the cave, the roar of the motor and the sound of metal collision reached Li Hao's ears!

After walking through the cave more than ten meters long, a huge cave appeared in front of Li Hao's eyes!

In addition to bringing back a large amount of military equipment from Datong, Li Hao also brought back a lot of power generation equipment, which is used for coal power generation and hydropower generation, and they are all finished products, which can be used when installed!

The weapons factory was also assigned a set of power generation equipment, installed in another cave, and used coal to generate electricity, providing a steady stream of electricity here!

The cave was brightly lit, all kinds of machinery and equipment were placed in the cave in an orderly manner, and dozens of workers stood next to the equipment, processing the pre-cut iron plates into the parts they wanted, and then gathered them into the assembly team for assembly!

"Commander, this is a rifle production line!"

"We're taking the damaged weapon parts hoarded in the warehouse into good parts, and then sending them to the assembly team for assembly!

"Because the workers are not yet skilled, and we are limited by the shortage of raw materials, especially the raw materials for the manufacture of gun barrels, we have almost none, and all rely on the frightened barrels of the battlefield to manufacture!"

"The current daily output of the whole production line is only ten, three or eight big covers!"

"If the raw materials are sufficient and there is good steel for making gun barrels, I can increase the production capacity to thirty three-eight caps!"

"When you go inside, the gun production area is mainly focused on the transformation and maintenance of Type 96 light machine guns!"

"If you have raw materials, you can produce them sporadically!"

"Also limited by raw materials, the yield is very low!"

"But in order to verify the reliability of the entire production line, we obtained some raw materials by recycling waste weapon parts, and successfully produced three Type 96 light machine guns!"

"After experiments, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, we can produce three Type 96 light machine guns in two days! If you change to the production of heavy machine guns, you can produce a Type 92 in three days! ”

"Very good!" Li Hao replied very satisfied!

"The arsenal first uses up the waste parts in our inventory, repairs them if they can be repaired, and returns them to the furnace if they can't be repaired, and uses them as raw materials to produce new guns!"

"As for the raw materials, I promise to get them back for you within a month!"

Jiang Wenyu immediately replied: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment!" ”

"I have seen all the waste parts that the regiment headquarters has stocked in the past few years, and the quantity is very large!"

"If you go back to the furnace to make guns, it should be fine for a month!"

"I took a few branch directors to roughly calculate, and those waste parts are enough for us to produce 1,000 38 covers and 50 light and heavy machine guns!"

Li Hao's eyes lit up and replied: "Then produce as soon as possible!" ”

"Thirty-eight big covers, 96-type light machine guns, 92-type heavy machine guns, the troops are all lacking! We are limited to five days, and we will send it to the regiment headquarters once every five days of production to equip the troops directly! ”

Jiang Wenyu replied confidently: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, the arsenal will definitely not drag the garrison regiment back!" ”

"Produce as many weapons as possible in the shortest possible time and improve the equipment of the troops!"

As soon as Jiang Wenyu finished speaking, the voices of Zhang Yancheng and Li Yunshan sounded behind him, and there were several workers carrying three empty oil drums in pairs!

"Commander, we're here!"

Li Hao nodded and ordered: "Since they are all here, I won't talk nonsense......"

"Go straight to the artillery pit area!"

"What I want you to do today has to do with artillery!"

Because Li Hao didn't ask for artillery production equipment, there were only a few parts processing equipment in the small artillery maintenance area, and there were less than twenty workers, discussing something with each other around a few pieces of equipment and a few mortars and mountain guns that had been blown up!

After Li Hao brought everyone in, he went straight to the point and said: "Comrades, I came here today to let you use the tools and materials at hand to make 36 artillery pieces for me within ten days!" ”

"No, what I want is not so much a cannon as a grenadier, a thrower, maybe more appropriate!"

"The principle of mortars is well known, by firing an incendiary primer to produce a large number of proposals, pushing shells out of the barrel and flying towards enemy positions!"

"I ask you to rush out the grenadiers, the caliber should be the size of gasoline barrels, and the shells will be replaced directly by explosives packets!"

"As for the primer, the same explosives pack is used, just for safety, this explosive pack is much smaller!"

Zhang Yancheng was the first to react: "Regiment commander, do you mean to use gasoline barrels as cannon barrels and explosives bags as shells?" ”

"Let me think about it...... If you can solve the problem that the gasoline barrel is too thin and easy to explode! Then solve the airtightness problem between the gasoline drum and the explosive pack! Throwing a bag of explosives with a gasoline drum is feasible in principle, but the range will not be too far, and the shooting accuracy will not be too good for various reasons such as air tightness! ”

Li Hao immediately replied: "So I'll come to the arsenal to find you!"

"The walls of the gasoline barrel are too thin, and it is easy to explode, and I believe you can solve this problem!"

"Air tightness, I believe that with the existing equipment and technology of the arsenal, it should be able to solve it perfectly!"

"As for the accuracy of shooting, I don't ask for accuracy like artillery shells, as long as it is controlled within fifteen meters, and if possible, it is better to control it within ten meters, then it is enough!"

"The gasoline barrel is so big, the explosive bag thrown out must not be small, and the charge of twenty catties is less!"

"Such a heavy explosive bag smashed into the group of devils, with a lethality of at least twenty meters, and it was all through the shock wave to shock the enemy to death! Even if the impact point is 10 meters higher, with the powerful power of the explosive pack, it can still bring a fatal blow to the enemy, so the 10-meter shooting error does not have much impact on the results of the shelling! ”

Jiang Wenyu thought for a moment and said!

"Gasoline barrels are too thin and easy to blow up, we can increase the strength by coating iron cobalt and iron rings!"

"In addition, when arranging the gasoline barrel, you can half-bury it in the ground, and use the soil to offset the shock wave generated by some of the explosives, increasing the strength of the gasoline barrel!"

"What's more, we need to control the projectile!"

"Let's first calculate the limit charge that the gasoline drum can withstand!"

"As long as the charge of the propellant does not exceed the limit in peacetime combat. Safety is no problem! ”

"In addition, we have to calculate the number of shots that the gasoline drum can withstand!"

"Then make a rule that after how many shots each gasoline barrel is fired in a row, it must be sent back to the arsenal for remanufacturing and repair!"

Li Yunshan, director of the ammunition branch, said: "I'll solve the tightness!"

"It's too hard to get a seal out of an explosives pack?"

"In order to reduce the weight of the explosive package, increase the amount of charge, and ensure the power, the best way is to bundle the explosive package in the conventional way!"

"But change the shape of the explosives pack from square to round!"

"And the explosive pack can't be in direct contact with the propellant!"

"Otherwise, the flames and high temperatures from the explosion of the propellant are likely to detonate the explosive package on the spot!"

"I thought about it for a moment, and I can solve this problem in another way!"

"A barrier between the propellant and the explosive pack!"

"The size of the baffle coincides with the gasoline drum, and all the gas produced by the combustion of the propellant is enclosed in the gasoline drum, so that enough energy can be stored to throw the explosive package out!"

"In addition, the existence of the baffle can also isolate the gunpowder and high temperature generated by the combustion of the propellant, ensuring the safety of the explosive bag, killing two birds with one stone!"

For the flying thunder cannon in history, Li Hao had only seen it in the Military Museum before he crossed over, so he knew a rough idea!

Now after Li Yunshan's explanation, all the thoughts in my mind were opened up at once!

At the same time, you will understand the role of a round wooden board next to the gasoline drum in the museum!

Thinking of these, Li Hao couldn't help but sigh at the power of military talents in this era!

They just came up with a simple idea, and they immediately came up with the principle, which is almost the same as history!

His eyes lit up and he ordered, "Just do what you want to do!"

"I'll give you three days to study, and then make a finished product, if possible, divide the propellant into several types, the gasoline drum launch angle is the same, one propellant with a range of one hundred and fifty meters, one propellant with a range of two hundred meters, one propellant with a range of two hundred and fifty meters, and one propellant with a range of three hundred meters!"

"Of course, it would be better if we could make a longer range propellant and be safe!"

"After the grenadier was finalized, I named it the Flying Thunder Cannon, and then the arsenal concentrated all human and material resources for mass production!"

"Thirty-six flying thunder cannons will be produced within ten days, and each flying thunder cannon will be equipped with ten explosives packs, and then sent to the regiment headquarters, I will be of great use!"

"By the way, the production drawings and related data will also be sent to the regiment headquarters!"

"I will report to the military division in your name, promote this heavy weapon in the entire Eighth Route Army, and then ask you for credit!"

Several people's faces quickly returned to seriousness, and they replied in unison: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, we promise to complete the task!"

Jiang Wenyu then added: "We seized a large amount of gunpowder in the Datong Coal Mine, and we brought it all back!"

"Even if a thunderbolt cannon is equipped with fifteen explosives packs, we can produce it in ten days!"

"Then each Thunder Cannon comes with fifteen explosive packs!"

"Ten days later, all of them will be sent to the regiment headquarters, I will be of great use!" 2k reading web
