Regarding Niu Da's bad taste, Zhang Ran himself is also angry and happy.

After all, he has been injured like this, even if he puts aside the majesty of his captain, the comrades who fought side by side were injured, and such a joke was a bit too much.

can think about the place where he was hurt, and Deng Ying's heart for himself is in everyone's eyes, this guy is still crying next to him heartbreakingly, not to mention that it really hit the laughter in the hearts of men......

After all, for most men, in terms of bed, no one will obey each other, but in front of the eunuchs, the crushing sense of strength must be full......

After laughing, it is natural to talk about business immediately.

Niu Da hurriedly also put on an expression that I came to work but not to have fun, and took the first step to stuff all the stacks of lists, so that Zhang Ran hurriedly thought of a way.

On the list, all the items listed by the blacksmith department are planned to produce, the planned production capacity, and how much high-quality steel is still missing, etc.

Because of the arrival of Gai Heiliang, the trial production and testing of sample rifles and sample imitation Czech machine guns have been completed, and the imitation of artillery fire may be carried out in the future, so the restructuring of the blacksmith workshop has become imperative.

In the past, most of the things built in the blacksmith workshop were such as spears, grenadiers, and all kinds of bits and pieces, so although the blacksmith also designed some self-made equipment such as punching and forging machines, simple reamers, and blowers with the help of Zhang Ran, more of them were still in a relatively primitive state, which was no better than the old-fashioned blacksmith workshop that burned charcoal with a hammer.

But now it's different.

The appearance of Xu Kunjun, a mechanical expert, has brought more abundant machinery-related knowledge, and the detachment has a steam engine as a power machine, so his mechanical-related knowledge will be fully used.

As long as the blacksmith can use mechanical methods to replace the process, this guy can always rack his brains to design the relevant mechanical equipment!

At present, there are more than a dozen sets of various mechanical equipment in the blacksmith's workshop, such as hammering, bending, and perforation, and all of them have completed the test in actual use, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the blacksmith's workshop when carrying out related work in the future......

Although these homemade machines are crude and unsatisfactory in terms of precision, they are completely incomparable to those of those decades later.

But in any case, the primary mechanization of the blacksmith's workshop is indeed gradually being realized, and the detachment is fully prepared for the mass production of various machine guns, rifles, short guns, as well as artillery fire!

It can be said that now the production of weapons in the detachment has reached the point where everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed!

This east wind is naturally high-quality steel that can be used in the production of weapons!

"Captain, we've already counted!"

Niu Da pointed to a stack of papers and said to Zhang Ran: "As far as the existing personnel and equipment in our blacksmith workshop, as long as the captain can fully guarantee the supply of steel and produce five imitation Czech light machine guns, or twenty rifles and forty short guns every day, there is no problem at all - if necessary, we will produce more of the existing equipment, and the production quantity of various guns will be doubled, or even several times, then there will be no problem......

Looking at all kinds of data on the paper, the unaltered and neat handwriting, Zhang Ran knew that in order to meet him this time, Niu Da and other people in the blacksmith workshop had really put in a lot of effort!

Otherwise, with the cultural level of Niu Da, let alone such a production report that is extremely rigorous in terms of data and logic to himself, even if he is asked to copy it, I am afraid he will not be able to copy it!

Zhang Ran took the report, turned around and asked Niu Da: "The cutting machine is easy to use now, right?" ”

The previous trial production of grinding wheels was successful, but the cutting machine was very reluctant to cut steel because of the insufficient number of revolutions, and in his plan, there was only one way to get high-quality steel for making weapons - that is, to attack the little devil's railway!

It's very difficult to steal enough steel to produce weapons, but with the help of a good grinding wheel cutter, it's much easier......

Therefore, when it comes to the problem of steel, Zhang Ran's first thought is whether the cutting machine is ready.

"With the help of XCMG, the cutting machine is now very easy to use!"

When it came to the cutting machine, Niu Da's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he had endless words: "In the past, our blacksmith workshop wanted to cut off the steel, which was the strength of the old nose, but since there is a cutting machine, it is different......

Looking at this guy's excited spittle, Zhang Ran was also very happy.

After all, although he didn't work in the blacksmith, he also knew how much more work the blacksmith would have to do without the cutter......

Take the need to cut off a piece of steel as an example, according to the old method, there is only one, that is, first burn the steel red, and then the sledgehammer chisel goes into battle, and take advantage of the steel to turn red and cut it off without paying attention.

Often cut off a piece of steel, how many times do you have to go back to the furnace to burn red.

Now it's different, as soon as the grinding wheel cutting door opens, a piece of steel will be divided into two, not to mention, if needed, you can also directly mark the size and amount on the steel, and cut it into the desired shape and size as much as possible......

It can be said that this one cutting machine may liberate no less than two laborers for the blacksmith workshop!

With the appearance of such an efficient machine, if Niu Da was unhappy, Zhang Ran would probably feel that there was a problem......

"I have to admit that Captain, your brain is more brilliant than most of us......"

After being happy, Niu Da didn't forget to pat Zhang Ran, the hero who invented the grinding wheel cutting machine, to show his appreciation: "Just the grinding wheel, that is, it is formed with emery mixed glue, and you can cut the steel as tofu, which is not difficult to say, but so many of us have never thought about it, captain, you not only thought about it, but also made it - I, Niu Da, are convinced to the captain, you are convinced of the five-body throw......

"If you really admire me so much, you will watch Lao Tzu's jokes a few times less in the future!"

Zhang Ran scolded angrily, and then said: "With the grinding wheel cutting machine, the source of high-quality steel that can be used to make weapons will be easy to solve, but at present, the first task of the detachment is to deal with the devil's autumn offensive - when this battle is over, I will help you get as much steel as you want in the blacksmith's workshop!" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Niu Da was obviously a little disappointed.

But in the same way, he was also very aware of the situation faced by the detachment, so he didn't say anything, just sighed: "There are more than 80 people in our blacksmith workshop, but they are all holding back their strength to make our own guns as soon as possible, so that the soldiers can beat the devils with our own guns and cannons - this battle is estimated to be completed in a few days and months, and the steel that can be used in the warehouse now, including the steel of several tanks scrapped by the devils last time, is almost used for us, if it is a dozen months, won't the people in our blacksmith workshop have to be idle?" ”

Thinking that the people in the entire base area were fighting with the devils in their own ways, and his blacksmith workshop was idle every day, Niu Da's face twisted into a bitter melon, after all, he knew, no matter what he said, Zhang Ran couldn't see that they had nothing to do and send them to the battlefield.

Except for the last time when the state city was settled, no matter how difficult the detachment was and how short of manpower, Zhang Ran never thought of letting the skilled workers come to the front line in person - this is something written into the detachment's charter, and Niu Da would not think that Zhang Ran would violate it.

"If you want to be idle, then you have to have that life!"

Zhang Ran snorted coldly, and then explained to Niu Da: "Go back to Secretary Wang and ask him to help you pick dozens of clever young men, and carry out all-round training for these young men when the work task is not heavy-I don't expect you to train them into skilled blacksmiths in a short period of time, what I want is for them to thoroughly master the manufacturing technology of the firearms that have been sampled by each detachment!"

At the same time, all the drawings of the machinery we designed ourselves have been copied and backed up by dozens of copies for me! ”

Zhang Ran's idea was simple.

That is, when this battle is over, the detachment has its hands freed, and these young men have almost been trained, they will immediately be like the previous young men who have learned the skills of sulfuric acid purification, nitrification, etc., and let them go to various guerrilla areas and even the rear with the mechanical drawings designed by the detachment itself!

When the time comes, the detachment will be able to manufacture rifles, light machine guns, and pistols on its own, and all conditional guerrilla zones will also have the technology to manufacture these weapons!

Zhang Ran is very sure that as long as this plan can be carried out smoothly, the gap between the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas when facing the devils will be infinitely narrowed!

Now, the vast number of Chinese soldiers and civilians who are active in the battlefield behind enemy lines, in the case of an extreme shortage of guns and ammunition, can hold back the aggression of his little devil, Zhang Ran does not believe that with sufficient guns and ammunition, his little devil can still be so arrogant at this stage!

Although with the protracted war, the vitality of the little devils has been continuously consumed, and the various gaps between the Chinese side and the devils have gradually narrowed......

But Zhang Ran feels that this is far from enough!

He wants to spare no effort to shorten the time for this gap to be narrowed, and only in this way can he give the little devil more and a heavier blow!

Although the little devils in history were defeated, in the hearts of many little devils, they never refused to admit that they were defeated in the hands of the Chinese, and they even thought that if it were not for the Yankees, they would have won this war long ago!

Zhang Ran hopes that his appearance can convince the little devil to lose, and completely defeat in the hands of the Chinese themselves!

The enmity of the Chinese must be avenged by the Chinese themselves, then it will be enjoyable!

Winning the war in the way that history has done would be a shame for any Chinese! 、

It is a regret that every Chinese person cannot erase......

He hopes that because of his appearance, every humiliated Chinese can win without a trace of regret......
