Chapter 49 Finalization of Self-Produced Light Weapons
After devoting himself wholeheartedly to the work of the instructor for a period of time, Ding Chenggong's fruitful work has been unanimously recognized by all the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yang Jingyu, Cao Yafan, Wei Zhengmin and other major leaders, who admired him very much, immediately decided to hand over a heavier burden to him at the request of the leaders of the arsenal.
Let him take time out of his training work to participate in the important work of designing and selecting homemade small arms in the arsenal while carrying out training work!
After getting Yang Jingyu's notice, Ding Chenggong rushed to the arsenal on the Japanese Mitsubishi three-wheeled motorcycle, which was still far from the gate of the arsenal, and Zhao Guangcai, a technical master waiting at the gate, greeted him eagerly.
"Mr. Ding, I'm looking forward to you!"
When you saw Ding Chenggong, Zhao Guangcai, the director of the arsenal, complained with a bitter face: "This time I made you miserable!" ”
"When did I hurt you!"
Ding Chenggong knew that Zhao Guangcai was joking with himself, so he immediately widened his eyes and asked jokingly: "I said Director Zhao, you have to say a word of conscience, what is my Xiaoding doing to your arsenal?" ”
"It's because you're so good to our factory that you made me miserable this time!"
Zhao Guangcai grabbed Ding Chenggong's hand, dragged him to the factory, and said seriously: "You brought us nearly 100 advanced machines and equipment, a large number of raw materials and parts this time. More than tripled the capacity of our arsenal in one fell swoop! ”
"What's wrong with helping you expand your production capacity?"
Ding Chenggong asked confusedly: "You are simply afraid of many customers when you open a store, it makes no sense!" ”
"You kid, expand the production capacity of the arsenal so much at once, so that the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the cadres and fighters have greater hopes on the arsenal!"
Zhao Guangcai snorted angrily and said: "Commander Yang, Secretary Wei, and Commander Cao have all given instructions, not only let us increase the production of bullets, grenades and artillery shells, as well as all kinds of existing bombs. We must also try our best to produce submachine guns, 40 rocket launchers, 82 mortars, and other weapons developed by ourselves! ”
"Didn't I already bring advanced equipment and processed molds?"
Li Junfeng said indifferently: "I have been around for almost a month, and the workers and masters are all skilled." Just increase production. Why are you worried? ”
Zhao Guangcai looked at Ding Chenggong's indifferent appearance and became angry, and said angrily: "If these things are alone, I won't worry!" ”
"You're saying that the leader has put an extra burden on you again?"
Ding Chenggong asked curiously: "What's the burden, worrying you like this?" ”
"Commander Yang specially proposed that our artillery branch go all out to produce the newly developed 70mm recoilless gun and 60 mortar at full capacity! All new mortars must be retrofitted with a pulling mechanism, and the mortars that were originally produced and captured must also be modified in batches! ”
Ding Chenggong understood the difficulties faced by Zhao Guangcai, took out the notebook he was carrying, picked up the pen, and asked while preparing to record: "What are the main problems and difficulties encountered in the production of these kinds of artillery?" Master Zhao, you just say it all, and I'll do my best to find a way to solve it for you! ”
Looking at Ding Chenggong's serious attitude, Zhao Guangcai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This gate is not the place to speak. Let's go to the office and talk slowly! ”
"Okay, let's talk as we go!"
The large-scale "crusade" of the Kwantung Army was just around the corner, and time was pressing, Ding Chenggong seized the time to ask: "Just hurry up and say it directly, what do you need me to do!" ”
"Okay, then you're welcome."
Zhao Guangcai said as he walked: "First of all, there is the problem of raw materials. The storage capacity of high-strength seamless steel pipes required for 70 mm recoilless is quite good, and the raw materials for the 60 mortar are too bad!
The use of seized rail steel to make the body tube, the material utilization rate is low, not to mention the labor and time-consuming, the strength of the body tube can not be guaranteed, because of the material limitations, the wall thickness of the body tube can not be very thin, resulting in the production of mortars are very bulky! ”
Ding Chenggong nodded seriously, recorded it in his notebook attentively, and said seriously: "The material problem is that high-strength 60mm seamless steel pipes are needed, right?" I'll go back this time, and I'll get as many batches as I can! Is 100 tons enough? ”
Zhao Guangcai thought about it seriously and shook his head: "What Commander Yang means is that the 40 bazooka, 60 mortar and the first submachine gun should be equipped to the platoon level of the field army, and the 82 mortar and the 70 no should be equipped to the company level. The infantry company of the main forces was also to be reinforced with an artillery platoon.
The field troops of our Anti-Japanese Federation have been officially expanded into nine infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, one engineer battalion, and one field artillery regiment. Add baggage, sanitation, logistics, guard troops and local troops, no matter how you need 600 doors, plus spare parts, you have to get 200 tons! ”
Heard good appetite. Yang Jingyu's preparation plan, Ding Chenggong couldn't help blinking slightly: This Commander Yang is really courageous!
This is the standard weapon establishment of the A infantry division of the People's Liberation Army in the seventies and eighties of the later generations!
However, in order to deal with such a well-trained, technically and tactically high level of the Kwantung Army, and armed to the teeth of a fierce opponent, you must have such boldness!
"That's it, Master Zhao."
Ding Chenggong seriously pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously: "At the moment, we are most lacking in the 60 mortar barrel, I will buy 300 tons." For other kinds of high-strength seamless steel pipes, I buy 200 tons of each! ”
"In that case, it'll be enough for us to use for a while!"
Zhao Guangcai nodded, and then said: "Making cannons is not just about having raw materials. All kinds of parts that need to be machined are the most headaches!
In addition, Commander Yang has requested that as many existing mortars be modified as possible to be capable of flat fire, our machining force really does not have the strength to complete the task......"
Seeing Zhao Guangcai's distressed look, Ding Chenggong immediately wrote down this problem in his notebook, and said angrily: "Don't give me a bitter face, leave this matter to me to solve." ”.
"Really? That's great! ”
Zhao Guangcai nodded again and again and said: "I know that you kid is capable, this kind of thing makes others anxious and unable to sleep." Find you, Mr. Ding, and there will be absolutely no trouble! ”
"You don't have to say pretty things!"
Ding Chenggong waved his hand disapprenosingly and said, "When you go back, you will find someone, and seize the time to list the types, quantities, and materials of the raw materials you need." Machined parts that need to be machined, detailed drawings.
With them, as long as the machined parts of the weapon are not very obvious, I can quickly get my hands on them and personally send them to the mountain! ”
"I knew that if you look for this matter, you will be right!"
Zhao Guangcai smiled gratefully, and said seriously to Ding Chenggong: "There is also the problem of chemical raw materials. The production of nine-millimeter pistol cartridges, the reloading of seven-nine rifle cartridges, six-five rifle cartridges, and the mass production of grenades, mines, and blasting canisters require a large number of explosives, and the demand for chemical raw materials is even greater!
The production capacity of our chemical branch plant is also a little unable to keep up with the demand......"
"I'll take care of this!"
Ding Chenggong said without hesitation: "For the matter of chemical raw materials, you open an order, and I will find a way to get it for you when I go back." If the production capacity is insufficient, I will try to find a way to solve it. ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ding."
Zhao Guangcai smiled gratefully, and wanted to say something, but he was a little embarrassed to open his mouth. I had to laugh awkwardly.
Seeing Zhao Guangcai's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Ding Chenggong thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "Master Zhao, is it that a big war is about to break out, and it is a bit difficult to expand the production capacity of the chemical plant now?" ”
"yes!"
Zhao Guangcai, who really didn't know how to speak, nodded hurriedly and said, "Commander Yang's instruction is to complete the task of expanding production capacity within ten days. It's hard for us to do it. ”
"I'll take care of this problem!"
Ding Chenggong thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "When I go back this time, I will find a way to buy you some ammonium nitrate and picric acid that can be directly used as explosives!" I'll try my best to buy more chemical raw materials for you! ”
Zhao Guangcai didn't expect Ding Chenggong to be so generous to take all the difficulties and problems on him, and said very gratefully: "Then this matter will be entrusted to you, Mr. Ding!" You're sorry! ”
"As long as it is to fight devils against Japan, I will definitely do my best, and it is my duty to do my best!"
Ding Chenggong smiled indifferently and said: "What kind of work can you talk about!" ”
At this time, the two of them had already arrived in the office area of the arsenal.
Coming and going, the busy staff and technicians saw that it was Ding Chenggong coming, and they hurriedly stopped and greeted with a smile.
greeted everyone very kindly, and Ding Chenggong followed Zhao Guangcai to his office.
When he arrived at the door, Ding Chenggong noticed that Zhao Guangcai still looked worried!
"Master Zhao, I promised to help you solve the matter of raw materials, chemical raw materials, and even finished explosives, why do you still look worried?"
Looking at Zhao Guangcai's sad face, Ding Chenggong asked very straightforwardly: "If there are any difficulties, you can tell me directly." I'll definitely figure it out for you! ”
Zhao Guangcai thought about it for a while, and then said embarrassedly to Ding Chenggong: "You have promised to help me so much, and I really can't open my mouth if you make this request again!" ”
Ding Chenggong immediately said disapprerovingly: "As long as it's a matter of resisting Japan and fighting devils, you just have to speak!" Don't be embarrassed! This is a big deal to fight devils! ”
Only then did Zhao Guangcai let go of his worries and said seriously: "Mr. Ding, Commander Yang has just given instructions to our arsenal to carry out the design and production of rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns as soon as possible!" Let's be sure to start mass production of self-produced rifles before the devils go on a large-scale "crusade"! ”
