Chapter 401: Stereotyped Production
AK11 is so finalized, the internal side of the army, the test is only a few aspects, not comprehensive, only the real army troops, can carry out a perfect and comprehensive test of AK11, when Feng Yuxiang proposed, Yang Yuanzhao did not refuse, directly approved 200 AK11, followed by nearly 1000 boxes of bullets.
Ordinary soldiers, will shoot 50 bullets a day, an average of 5 boxes each, according to a box of 1500 bullets, this is almost the amount of ordinary soldiers 150 days, soldiers of the new army, almost all of them are fed out of bullets, take the gun as an example, generally 3 months, to change the barrel, this is the original German barrel, replaced by domestic, I am afraid that half a month, will be changed once, 7500 bullets, almost an extremely harsh test of rifling, almost certainly to see the metal performance of the gun.
Of course, Yang Yuanzhao didn't think about it, let him finish it in one day, 7500 rounds of ammunition, even an iron man can't bear it, not to mention that not every one needs to use continuous shots, relative to the test items, single shots still account for the majority.
Feng Yuxiang is very happy to receive so many guns, the new army now has more than 100,000 soldiers, because Baotou pays attention to the training of military skills, there are a large number of bullets fed every day, skilled gunners do not know how many, some special gunners, more than 300 bullets fired a day, AK11 is a gun with outstanding performance, so that it can be tested in 20 days at most.
Half a month later, Feng Yuxiang came to the machine qì bureau excitedly, and after half a month of testing, almost all the top shooters were full of praise for this gun. The newly produced caliber of 7.0 mm is more suitable for the Orientals, the recoil is something that the Orientals can bear, and when shooting, the stability is very good, because the barrel, which is almost 5 cm longer than the barrel of the 1888, plus the high-quality rifling, the firing range of the entire gun is at least 50-100 meters more than that of the 1888, above the ordinary rifle, 50 meters is almost a very excellent number, and now the main lethal range is almost more than 250 meters, which is very important for the infantry, and this gun is almost overwhelming compared to 1888.
"We want to change this gun, I don't know how long it will take!" As soon as Feng Yuxiang saw Yang Yuanzhao, he didn't say anything, and asked straight to the point.
Looking at Feng Yuxiang with an anxious face, Yang Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the gun has not been completely finalized, we will come up with a first-class rifle!" β
These days, Yang Yuanzhao is almost soaked in the gun factory, first, the first batch of barrel steel is finalized, in terms of weight, it is a little lighter than the AK11 designed before, a gun, at least 600 grams lighter, that is, it is 100 grams higher than the previous order, it looks inconspicuous, for a single person, 100 grams less weight, you can bring more bullets, for rifle-based infantry, it is a big improvement, because the barrel strength is enough, the barrel is a little thinner, The entire barrel is almost 7 centimeters long, the simplified bolt is more reliable, the most critical time, the large magazine of 60 rounds, and the drum of 250 rounds, have been set successfully, such a large capacity, which is the key to continuous infantry firepower, in this sense, this is no longer the general AK11, he is an upgraded product, the range has been increased by 50 meters, the effective killing radius, increased by 100 meters, plus recoil, weight, and a barrel that has been lengthened by 7 cm, There were also considerable advantages to the bayonet, which combined to form a new standard rifle, which was eventually named AK11.
As usual, he took out 50 rifles and asked Feng Yuxiang to test them, and then gave Feng Yuxiang 5 Makqin, which is also an imitation, on the basis of the original, the material has been improved, so that the barrel has increased from the original 1500 rounds to the height of 2500 rounds, the rate of fire has been slightly improved, and the leather bullet chain has been replaced by a metal bullet chain, which is more stable, and the range and rate of fire have increased slightly. In order to unify logistics, the bullet is also 7.0 mm in terms of bullet power, which is slightly weaker than the 7.9 one, but with other improvements, it is a good improvement above a certain range.
Rifles are also upside down, machine guns can also be produced, this is really unexpected, Feng Yuxiang is knowing, the entire Baotou machine gun is equipped with very much in place, almost can be popularized to the squad of Cheng DΓΉ, according to the original town as the unit of the new army, in addition to the artillery regiment is 108 72 mm mountain guns and field guns, 36 108 guns and 155 mm heavy guns, almost has more than 900 Makqin, it was rare to see in the past, known as machine guns, in the entire Beiyang Army, I am afraid that 200 can not be taken out, but now a town, There are so many, the most important thing is that the factory in Baotou can directly produce Makqin, which is a huge improvement, imagine that when encountering the enemy, more than 900 Makqin, plus more than 100 cannons, even if it is the third town of Beiyang, which is known as a model town, I am afraid that in terms of firepower, it is far from the opponent of the new army.
Some other senior technicians, also under the knowledge of weapons experts, are familiar with the difference between weapon production and ordinary mechanical production, in the integration of weapons, as well as improving efficiency, the progress is rapid, especially some experts from abroad, for weapons production, put forward a lot of opinions, a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ, can be regarded as improving the production of the entire arsenal, technicians, It has also been improved from an ordinary civilian technician to a military technician, and the production efficiency of the machine factory has also been greatly improved on the original basis.
Now, when a large number of personnel and machine tools, are flooded in this factory, the efficacy of high-speed machine tools, began to show its power, can produce 900 KA11 rifles per day, 50 Makqin, with the increase of personnel and the increase of proficiency, the speed is still improving, in the future, when the second and third phases of the ordnance factory are completely completed, the production capacity of the ordnance factory will be expanded by 3 times.
Now Baotou has more than 100,000 regular soldiers, as well as three times the number of reserves and militia, 900 a day, almost more than 100 days, can complete the new army's redress, unified ammunition and compulsory situation, the new army's logistics supply, will be reduced by more than 3 percent, the strength of the new army, will be improved on the basis of the original, which will be of great help to the improvement of the strength of the troops.
Listening to Yang Yuanzhao's introduction, he asked with a fluttering eyebrow: "Yuanzhao, how much can you change clothes for us now, hasn't this been produced for almost half a month!" β
"It's a lot, but I'm thinking about whether to change the clothes of the internal guard or to you!"
Feng Yuxiang was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't mind, Yuan Zhao, we have a huge gap, you see I have a lesson here, it's all about the use of AK11 in the army, and there are some new tactical cooperation!" β
Yang Yuanzhao took the stack of texts, and sure enough, Feng Yuxiang valued it very much, and after he went back, he not only carefully implemented it, but also summed up a series of things, and even white-knuckle battles, but he was carrying a big knife, and the big knife tactics of the Northwest Army seemed to have something to do with Feng Yuxiang, and it began to enter the rudimentary form from now on.
"Everything else is easy to do, but there is a problem!"
"Where?" Feng Yuxiang was surprised and delighted, a little less surprised than happy, although in the past two years, Yang Yuanzhao did not interfere much in the construction of the new army, but every time he intervened, he could give an excellent proposal, which also made Feng Yuxiang pay more and more attention to Yang Yuanzhao's opinion.
"Here!"
Feng Yuxiang saw that Yang Yuanzhao was referring to the column of the big knife, he was a little anxious, and said: "AK11 is very powerful, but the bullet consumption is also large, once the bullet is consumed, it is difficult to use it as a burning stick, don't look at the big knife occupies a few catties of weight, but in contact warfare and melee, it has a great effect!" β
"Of course I do, but there's something better!" Yang Yuanzhao beckoned and asked Da Han to get an AK11 over, and by the way, he brought a bayonet.
When Feng Yuxiang saw the bayonet, he raised his eyebrows, this dagger is too short, and how much can it play in a melee, but under the command of Yang Yuanzhao, Da Han fixed the bayonet on the AK11, the sharp bayonet, and the perfect combination of AK11, his eyes lit up, the AK11 itself is not shorter than the committee 1888, or even longer, the thick body of the gun, can be very well grasped, plus the bayonet thirty or forty centimeters long, this weapon, even in white-knuckle combat, is not very outdated.
Excitedly took the AK11 with the bayonet from Da Han's hand, tried it slightly with his fingers, and the fingers didn't feel it yet, but the skin had been punctured, and the sharpness was enough, the special design, especially the blood groove, made Feng Yuxiang, who was old in the ranks, shudder, and hit the bayonet, with a crisp sound and a long roar, the material was very good, strong and sharp, better than the big knife he imagined.
"How? Are you still satisfied? β
"Satisfied, of course satisfied!" Feng Yuxiang Huang hurriedly said, the difference between before and after made Yang Yuanzhao laugh, and after laughing, Yang Yuanzhao said: "The potential of this gun is far more than that, by the way, how many top shooters do we have?" β
I didn't understand what Yang Yuanzhao was going to do, Feng Yuxiang thought for a while before saying: "There are almost more than 1,000 of them, Yuanzhao, why are you asking this, don't fight this idea, I won't give it!" β
Feng Yuxiang's appearance of protecting the calf made Yang Yuanzhao laugh again, and said: "I won't want you, but just ask, you come with me!" β
Yang Yuanzhao guided Feng Yuxiang to another room, where there was only a large row of boxes, Feng Yuxiang didn't know why, and muttered in his heart, what did Yang Yuanzhao come up with. R1152
