Chapter 8 Reloading Bullets
Jiang Tao listened to the monkey's words, but instead of showing any angry look, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Tao, what are you laughing at, you say this guy is hateful?" The monkey was a little confused.
"Monkey, the reason why the manager raised the price was because he felt that he couldn't stay long, so he simply made the last payment. And the position of steward is quite oily, and I don't think a person who has anything to do with it behind him will not get this position. “
"Brother Tao, do you mean that someone above is going to give up Fengtian City? No, this is the base camp of our Northeast Army, and besides, Japan will not want our Northeast Army to withdraw from the three eastern provinces. We have more people than them, more guns than them, and more artillery than them, how can we lose? The monkey was a little incredulous.
In fact, the strength of the Northeast Army at that time was indeed far stronger than that of the Japanese army in the Northeast, and no one thought that the Northeast Army would abandon its base camp in the Northeast. Jiang Tao sighed: "Monkey, do you think our young marshal is tough enough, back then, the marshal was guarding the northeast, the Japanese, the Russians, no one dared to stretch out their claws to the marshal, and those who stretched out their claws were chopped off, but after the young marshal took the position, the battle with Maozi was broken by Maozi (on August 14, 1929, the Soviet Union attacked China along the Middle East Road, and also signed the "Sino-Soviet Boli Conference Protocol"). Little Japan is a wolf, and seeing you weak is like taking a bite. ”
"Hey, Brother Tao, since you say so, I believe that you will not harm me and Wei Gang, I will think of a way as soon as possible." The monkey gritted its teeth.
"Hey, monkey, last time you said that the Araba bandits wanted to order something, did you say we would sell them some bullets?"
"Yes, why not, their bullets are grabbed, and a gun that has finished shooting is worse than a burning stick. Just rely on me to go to the factory and get some gunpowder bullets for them, or it will be over."
"Then I have a way, so Wei Gang, you go to the shooting range tomorrow to get some bullet shells, monkey, you get some primer and warheads, I'll go find some propellants, I just happened to get a machine that can reload bullets, let's reload some bullets for those bandits tomorrow, I believe you can get a lot of money, and then you go and buy the machine with the steward." Jiang Tao said confidently.
"Cheng, that's it, come and eat together." Hearing Jiang Tao say this, the monkey was relieved and beckoned Wei Gang and Jiang Tao to eat.
The next day, the enthusiastic monkey and Wei Gang came out early in the morning, slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Tao got up, went to the factory leisurely, and got a lot of propellants in the name of experiments, anyway, the notice of his promotion to technician had already been posted, and no one was willing to embarrass this rising rookie. It was Jiang Tao who easily brought the propellant home.
In the evening, Monkey and Wei Gang came back one after another, and also brought back the shells, primers and warheads that Jiang Tao needed. The bullet casings he had just picked up still had residual gunpowder attached to them, so Jiang Tao first fetched a large bucket of water and asked the monkey and Wei Gang to soak the bullet casings in the water first, and add the soapy powder he had prepared to the water. "After an hour, you scoop out the shells, rinse them and dry them, and then give them to me." Jiang Tao instructed the monkey and Wei Gang.
Jiang Tao himself sat aside, carefully holding the small scale he wanted to buy from the pharmacy and weighing the propellant, each weighing was wrapped in kraft paper, the propellant can be said to be the most important link in the middle of the bullet reloading, the load is less, the power of the bullet is insufficient, the speed is slow, the range is short, the accuracy is poor, and it is easy to wear out the rifling when it is loaded too much, and even leads to the occurrence of the explosion accident, this step Jiang Tao really does not dare to fake his hands. Fortunately, I had a good night's sleep in the morning, and I was able to concentrate when I was full of energy to avoid mistakes.
The propellant was distributed, and the shells were dried (in fact, it took a long time). Jiang Tao carried another bucket of wheat bran, introduced the bullet shell into the wheat bran, and asked Wei Gang to stir vigorously to polish the bullet case, so as to avoid rough surface of the bullet case, and also to avoid the occurrence of wear rifling and explosion accidents.
This step is really a hard work, whether there is a mixing machine or not, it all depends on the two arms of the person. But Wei Gang's relaxed look startled Jiang Tao, "Brother Gang, don't you think it's laborious?" ”
"What's this, I don't need any strength for this." Well, you are born with divine powers, and I took it. Jiang Tao had already labeled Wei Gang as a natural god in his heart. Take out the bullet case that has been thrown away, and let the monkey grind the place where the bullet case originally met with the warhead with a sander in the reassembly system, because the bullet that has been hit, the bullet neck will be expanded when the warhead is launched, if it is not re-polished, the new warhead will not be able to be installed precisely, Jiang Tao will remove the original primer that has been excited through the machine, replace it with a new primer and press it hard, then pour in the propellant, load the warhead, and compact the warhead again, The reloading of such a bullet is basically completed (in fact, there are still processes such as testing and rifling distance, but because of harmony, everyone understands that I will not go into details). Because of Jiang Tao's machine, the most time-consuming and laborious work of installing the warhead did not take much time. As the proficiency of the three gradually increased, boxes of yellow and clear bullets appeared in front of them. The sky gradually brightened. The shells that Wei Gang brought back were rich by then, but the primer and the warhead were almost used. Everyone looked at each other, "Let's sleep first, after waking up, the monkey will go to the bun to trade, the 4,000 rounds of ammunition for a small yellow croaker is enough, monkey, you must pay attention to safety." ”
"Well, Brother Tao, don't worry, they don't dare to mess around in the city." The monkey swore by it. The three of them went back to their houses and went to sleep.
When Jiang Tao woke up again, the bullets piled up on the table were long gone, replaced by two golden gold bars. "Monkey, didn't you say that only one is enough, why take the risk and ask for more?" Jiang Tao thought that the monkey wanted to order more, and he was very dissatisfied when he was worried about the safety of the monkey.
"It's not what I want, but the leopard he has to give, you don't want it." The monkey waved his hand and proudly stated the reason. It turned out that the last time the leopard and their boss participated in the confrontation between the Japanese and the Russians, they said that they got a lot of guns and ammunition from the woolly bear, but before they came to their senses, they were retaliated against by the Japanese. Now that they are in charge, they dare not mix things on both sides, and they don't find that we can provide him with ammunition, so they want to ensure the stability of our supply, and another little yellow croaker is his sincerity.
So that's the case, Jiang Tao nodded, and had some calculations in his heart, "Okay, let's go and choose the machine tomorrow, now that we have money, it's better to get more good ones, it just so happens that I have come up with a new design, and we will use it on our own people when the time comes." ”
"Really, brother, you are really good, let's go together tomorrow, you are more knowledgeable than me, you know what is useful and what is not." The monkey seems to have the potential to become a fan brother.
The machine is there, it seems that we have to think of a way to do it together, Luneng and Wenda pull in to do it together, Jiang Tao knows that Luneng is a precision machining expert, and he can use inferior machines to process CNC machine tool products that are no less than those of later generations, this is a treasure. Wenda has studied metal materials, and the material problem of weapons will depend on him in the future. With these two men and his own designers, a small arms workshop is more than enough. But how can we pull them in? You can't dream that your own king's eight qi will explode! Jiang Tao fell into thought again.
