When you first arrive in Novgomel, everything here is fresh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is not at all what Salinchkin imagined, the armed men and civilians here are not doing badly.

The threat of war is dozens of kilometers away, and even so, in the area controlled by the 284th Division, at least every citizen has food to eat, even if many people can only eat preserved potatoes. Having lived at the end of the Tsarist era, he understands that in horizontal comparison, everyone's life is still much better than twenty years ago.

If, as this Chinese said, the fertilizer factory was built by him and these various people, the future potatoes and other vegetables will be bumper. Novgomel, even if it was built on muddy swamps, can already be called a granary, and it is not a problem to feed 100,000 people.

Therefore, Salinchkin followed behind Yang Mingzhi and listened to his boastful introduction with great interest.

As for weapons, this wooded arsenal produced rocket-boosted grenades, rockets, and recoilless guns, which simply defeated all the armoured vehicles the Germans had ever used in battle. The lack of TNT was long-lasting, so they used black powder and old-fashioned yellow powder instead. It's a shocking way to try, and these Arsenal guys are so flexible.

"We have here a professor of chemistry from Minsk, who is responsible for making high explosives. Most of the inhabitants of the blacksmith village were former military workers, and even though most of their hair was gray, they were still adept at making weapons. From raw materials to manufacturing, we had no shortage of skilled workers and engineering and technical specialists, and later many university students and Komsomol members came here through enemy-occupied areas, so we also had no shortage of intellectuals. That's why I presided over the establishment of the Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau, which specializes in the research and development of mobile heavy weapons for infantry......" Yang Mingzhi's introduction Yelentina has already said yesterday, but the details of the woman can't be said very accurately because she is not in this business.

From the initial shock to the current acceptance of this incomparably favorable reality, Salinchkin fully understands the reason for the mountain of more than 6,000 German M35 steel helmets in the warehouse he visited yesterday.

He had to re-examine the back of this tall Chinese. If he and the weapons design bureau he had now set up, he would have been sent to the rear to serve as an instructor in all respects, and the entire Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would have learned a lot from him.

The two were talking and laughing, but they had already seen the white smoke coming out of the chimney of the arsenal, but Yang Mingzhi turned around.

"What? Didn't we go straight to the arsenal? Salinchkin asked.

"No, Comrade Commissioner, I'll have to go to the Weapons Design Bureau first and bring my boys with me." Looking back, Yang Mingzhi made a look, "After all, I am also the director of the design bureau, and those college students need to be personally educated by experts like me." ”

In this way, Popov and a group of young researchers from the design bureau followed Yang Mingzhi and went to the arsenal to grow in ranks.

……

For a period of time, the weapons design bureau has not invented any strange weapons, and the staff headed by Bobo has been constantly improving the performance of the weapons that have been designed, so that the combat effectiveness of the weapons will become better and better after they are delivered to the troops.

Therefore, they have also optimized some weapons, such as the warhead of the RPG to fly more steadily, and the steel pipe of the recoilless gun to withstand more powerful pressure.

It was enough to solve these problems, and Yang Mingzhi did not complain that their imagination was not rich after leaving him. At least RPGs and recoilless guns are the fist products of the current weapons design bureau, and they are the "fists" of the mobile units of the 284th Division!

The group soon arrived at the arsenal, and as soon as they entered the wooden gate, the roar of the steam machine came to their ears.

The arsenal was lined with low-slung wooden buildings, and many workers were doing their own thing.

For example, a dozen middle-aged men in casual clothes and labor aprons are sitting, holding clay in one hand and striking with a wooden hammer in the other.

"Hehe, comrade commissioner, look, this is our sand casting, the grenade embryo cast in batches has been completed, as long as we knock out all the molding sand, the embryo can take the charge to make the grenade." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand to introduce.

Novgomel has all the raw materials for sand casting, the sand is dug in the Dnieper and Pripet rivers, the clay is separated from the mud ponds, and the trace amount of coal dust used to make the sand core more stable is wood chips.

This seems to be the work that this arsenal does most often, not only for grenade embryos, but also for recoilless guns and RPG warheads, which are mass-produced in this way. It has to be said that the biggest reason restricting the fighting capacity of the guerrillas in various localities is that the weapons in their hands are too rudimentary.

As a result, the 284th Division is such a crazy mass-produced weapons and ammunition!

Salinchkin simply walked over, squatted down, and looked with great interest at the bearded man of his own age, watching him knock off the molding sand little by little, revealing that a group of ten embryos had been cast inside.

These embryos are hemispheres with huge dents, how do they end up being grenades? Salinchkin was not a man who knew nothing, he knew that as soon as the two hemispheres were merged together, by the most ordinary thermal welding technique, a hollow ball was completed. The flowering shells of old-fashioned artillery hundreds of years ago were made in this way, and these grenades were eventually filled with black powder, which is a real sense of retro.

However, even if these weapons are essentially the same as the grenades carried by Peter the Great's two-meter-tall giant-like panzergrenadiers in the 17th century, it does not mean that these weapons are less powerful.

One mold ended up making five grenades, and in order to compensate for the lack of power of black powder, it had to make a fuss about fragments. Scrap shells should be reused, but it is basically impossible to reuse them for the third time. These shells thus became the best fragments, and the lethality of the innovation under such extreme conditions was clear to Salinchkin with a little use of his brain.

"How? Comrade Commissioner? Yang Mingzhi said to Salinchkin, who had been squatting for a while: "You may not believe it, but the standard equipment of our fighters is four grenades per person. Considering that forest warfare always takes place at close range, when we suddenly encounter the Germans, we will always throw grenades desperately, so that the flying shrapnel can kill and injure the enemy in the first place! ”

"Yes! This very particular tactic was already mentioned yesterday by the commissar! That's why you're the kind of person who deserves to be called a real guerrilla expert! So I'm going to learn as much as I can about your tactics and report it to the leader, and I'm afraid the guerrilla movement as a whole will be adjusted. ”

Yes, it will definitely be adjusted! Yang Mingzhi did not doubt that these tactics of his would eventually be learned by the Soviet army. But so what, the various methods of guerrilla warfare are still the best for the Chinese Red Army, and the Soviet Union may have to learn for a while, no matter what, this is a particularly large country, and the war is still mainly positional warfare. Judging from the current state of affairs alone, all the victories achieved in guerrilla warfare are just icing on the cake.

If you visit the arsenal carefully, I am afraid that a whole day is not enough, and I will have to talk to this curious and baby-like commissioner comrade all day long, so that my throat will breathe fire!

Just as the two were grinding here, the interested worker immediately broke into the factory director's office and said to Ryguskov, who had just finished breakfast: "Oh no, the factory director! The deputy division commander is here, and there is also the commissioner sent by the leader! ”

“Что？ The commissioner is here again?! What a sudden, too sudden! ”

With that, Rygushkov hurriedly changed into his clean coat, and immediately picked up his wife's small dressing mirror and took a picture of his own face, for fear that his image would be sloppy. After confirming that it was correct, he hurried out of the office, and under the guidance of the workers, he directly found Yang Mingzhi and Salinchin himself.
