Chapter 292 Arsenal Planning
After presiding over the memorial service for the martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Cheng soon started a week-long inspection of the Yulin factory, in which Zhang Zhongwen's Zhang's garment factory has become a cash cow in the Yulin base, which can bring 500,000 US dollars of considerable income to Zhangcheng every month.

As for the Lin's Pharmaceutical Factory, which can produce 2,000 sticks of penicillin per month, it was renamed the Bayi Pharmaceutical Factory after it was wholly owned and incorporated into the Eighth Route Army, and the penicillin produced by the pharmaceutical factory became a miracle medicine in the Eighth Route Army.
For this miraculous penicillin, whether it was the initiators Zhang Cheng, Lin Deli or the supreme commander of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, they all regarded it as the most powerful secret weapon of the Eighth Route Army, and secretly relocated the pharmaceutical factory to the inaccessible mountains and forests as soon as possible.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that Lin Deli, the director of the pharmaceutical factory who donated the pharmaceutical factory to the Eighth Route Army, plunged into the vast world of penicillin after developing ordinary penicillin, and according to the information provided by Zhang Cheng, he successively developed penicillin class G, penicillin class V, enzyme-resistant penicillin, broad-spectrum penicillin, anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa broad-spectrum penicillin, azaimipillin and other drugs with different efficacy.
After the pharmaceutical factory was merged into the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Cheng temporarily closed the door to penicillin export. Now that World War II has not broken out, if penicillin spreads to other countries early, it will be easily imitated by European and American countries with strong scientific research strength, and the value of penicillin will not be maximized.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng planned to make a fortune quietly, in addition to treating the wounded of the Chinese army, penicillin was stored in large quantities, once the outbreak of World War II, European and American countries found the miraculous effect of penicillin, Zhang Cheng then took out penicillin and reached an exchange of interests with European and American countries, in exchange for the industrial technology, equipment and even advanced weapons that China needs.
However, Zhang Cheng attached the most importance to the Yulin Arsenal, and he set the last stop of the inspection work at the Yulin Arsenal, which shows how much attention is attached to the Arsenal.
After the workers and equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal were put in place one after another, the production of other weapons at the Yulin Arsenal has come to a halt except for the two production lines of bullets and artillery shells, which are still being produced day and night, and a large-scale expansion is in full swing.
After inspecting the Yulin Arsenal, Zhang Cheng and Li Yulin, two leaders of the Yulin Arsenal, and more than a dozen directors of the Gao Yuan and Taiyuan Arsenals inspected the Yulin Arsenal, they held the first formal work meeting of the Yulin Arsenal in the large conference room of the Arsenal to discuss the expansion plan of the Arsenal.
In this blueprint, the Yulin Arsenal will be a super-large arsenal with 20,000 employees, more than 5,000 pieces of equipment, 150 light and heavy guns, 500 mortars, 5,000 rifles, 300 light and heavy machine guns, 20,000 shells, 15,000 mortar shells, 100,000 grenades, and 4.5 million bullets.
In addition to the main factory, the Yulin Arsenal will also have 18 branch factories, and the production scope will include machinery, submachine guns, artillery, rifles, machine guns, guns and ammunition, aircraft, ironwork, bombs, fuses, pressure medicine, smokeless medicine, acid production, electrical, artillery shells, shell pressing, smelting, carpentry, armor and other aspects.
In addition, in order to form the sustainable and benign development of the Yulin Arsenal, the Arsenal will also set up three military research institutes and two military technical colleges to train scientific research and technical personnel.
In the end, the meeting decided that Zhang Cheng would serve as the chief engineer of the arsenal, and because of Li Yulin's initiative, Li Mengshu, the former director of the Taiyuan Arsenal, would serve as the director of the general factory, and Li Yulin would serve as the deputy director of the general factory.
After solving a series of problems such as the future development direction of the Yulin Arsenal and the high-level framework and organizational structure, Zhang Cheng, accompanied by Li Yulin, Gao Yuan and others, changed into white chemical protective clothing and visited the newly established machine gun production line of the Arsenal.
"This is your replica Czech machine gun? What are the parameters? Zhang Cheng asked, wearing dust-proof gloves and holding a light machine gun.
Li Yulin replied skillfully: "This machine gun has been transformed by our technology, the caliber is 7.62 mm, the total length of the gun is 1.165 meters, the body weighs 8.5 kg, the aiming baseline is 562 mm long, the barrel is 602 mm long, the number of repetues is 4, the direction of the repetition line is right-handed, the entanglement of the repetulate line is 240 mm, the muzzle velocity is 830 m/s, the gauge range is 1,500 m, the rate of fire: 550 rounds / min, the loading style is a magazine, the number of ammunition loaded by the reload: 20 rounds, and the automatic mode is steam retreat. Cooling method: air-cooled.
According to the physical characteristics of our yellow race, compared with the original Czech machine gun, this machine gun has a caliber of about 0.28 mm less, weighs 0.5 kg less, and the recoil is greatly reduced, but the power has not been reduced, which can be said to be very suitable for us Chinese. ā
Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, he knew the Czech machine gun itself very well, this famous World War II gun was called ZB-26 light machine gun. It has the characteristics of simple structure and reliable operation, and is not easy to be damaged in the fierce war and harsh natural environment, in addition to easy use and maintenance, accurate shooting, as long as the barrel is replaced, it can continue to shoot. After a simple training in shooting, the gun can be used in combat.
Of course, the ZB-26 LMG also has a disadvantage, that is, the 20-round magazine is still too small for a LMG gun.
A reload of 20 rounds means that more often than not, it will inevitably cause a disruption in firepower. In battle, the machine-gun fire, which is the backbone of fire, should be spaced as little as possible, even if it had to be interrupted. However, due to the frequent replacement of magazines, the number of interruptions in fire was excessive.
In response to this, skilled and experienced machine gun shooters often change magazines suddenly and quickly when there are still three or four rounds left, so that the enemy cannot estimate the time to change magazines.
Historically, in the arduous all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the armies of the Workers' and Peasants' Party and the Kuomintang defeated Japanese imperialism by relying on backward weapons and equipment and the blood shed by millions of martyrs.
Among them, the Czech machine gun can be said to be an outstanding meritorious service, which made the Japanese invaders shudder, he brought huge casualties to the Japanese army, and was the mainstay of the Chinese army's support firepower, in actual combat, the Czech machine gun against the Japanese crooked machine gun can be said to have the upper hand, harvested the lives of countless Japanese soldiers, and is the most perfect weapon for the Chinese army to resist the Japanese invaders.
Zhang Cheng must develop and produce such weapons.
