Chapter XVII: Italian Cannons
The equipment is okay, Duan Yunpeng has a way, but what about the workers and technicians, Duan Yunpeng also applied to the leaders of the Eighth Route Army, and hundreds of people will soon be transferred from other places.
The processing equipment that was transported over was also unknowingly mixed with the equipment that Duan Yunpeng carried out from the system space, and of course the materials were the same.
The workers of the Motianling Arsenal couldn't believe that the higher-ups would allocate so much equipment and materials over, and with so much equipment and materials, it didn't seem so difficult to process 100,000 rounds of ammunition within a month.
Of course, there will still be difficulties, and everything will be difficult at the beginning, after all, this is the first large-scale manufacture of weapons and equipment and ammunition.
The Motianling Arsenal, a considerable part of the factory buildings, are built by digging caves, which can prevent the enemy's bombing, after all, once the little devil discovers the arsenal, he will definitely try his best to destroy them.
But now there is no way, because there are too many equipment and materials, so the cave can't be piled up, so you can only build some simple factories along the mountain.
Although there is a danger of being exposed in this way, Duan Yunpeng still has a way, because he is now ready to create advanced air defense weapons, missiles are impossible, but air defense guns like Double 35 are still completely fine.
You must know that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army did not have anti-aircraft artillery, and even the regular National Revolutionary Army only had a very small number of anti-aircraft artillery.
For example, the 60 rapid-fire machine guns of 37 mm caliber purchased from Germany in the mid-thirties were very valuable.
The performance of this anti-aircraft gun was still good, the total combat weight was less than two tons, and the firing range reached 360 degrees horizontally and 85 degrees vertically.
The rate of fire was relatively low, only 160 rounds per minute, the maximum range was 6,500 meters, the effective fire height was 4,800 meters, and the muzzle velocity of the shells was 820 meters per second.
Now the double three-five anti-aircraft gun that Duan Yunpeng is preparing to develop is more advanced, because the set of anti-aircraft artillery technology rewarded by the system is later from the nine-zero type double three-five anti-aircraft artillery technology, but now it does not have the conditions for developing self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and there is no radar, so it must be manual and towed.
The double-three-five anti-aircraft guns are mainly used for medium and low-altitude defense, and the rate of fire of a single barrel can reach 500 rounds per minute, and the double-barreled salvo is 1,000 rounds per minute, which is much faster than the German 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, so that its actual combat effect of air defense is much better.
You must know that the Japanese attack planes or bombers at this time were very slow, only at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, and the bombing altitude was almost below 500 meters.
So as long as there are a few double-three-five anti-aircraft guns, you can protect the safety of the arsenal.
Of course, the consumption of ammunition in this way is relatively large, but the possibility of encountering an air attack by Japanese bombers here is not very large, and even if it is encountered, with this arsenal in terms of ammunition, the problem is not big.
On this day, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also came to the Motianling Arsenal to visit and understand.
The two of them, as soon as they arrived here, were attracted by the large amount of materials and equipment in the cave.
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Comrade Duan Yunpeng, there are so many equipment and materials, this time our new group must be the first to get it!" ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Regiment commander, of course there is no problem with this, after all, the new regiment is responsible for defending the arsenal, so the leader above also said that the new regiment should be equipped with good things first." ”
Zhao Gang said excitedly: "Comrade Xiaoduan, if there are any other good things, let's take a look!" ”
Duan Yunpeng took the two to the bullet workshop, only to see more than a dozen pieces of equipment, which were being operated by the workers, constantly producing Huang Chengcheng's bullets.
Li Yunlong grabbed the bullet and said excitedly: "Great, so many bullets, when the time comes, we can have a good fight with the devil, we can let go of the fight, hahaha!" ”
Indeed, in the past, there was a shortage of bullets, so every time I fought, I didn't dare to shoot hard, and when I was almost there, I had to rush forward and fight with the devil with bayonets, so the casualties would indeed be relatively large.
In the future, if you have enough ammunition, plus mortars and mountain artillery produced by the arsenal, then you don't have to be tied up at all.
The Italian cannon that Li Yunlong was thinking about was nothing at all.
After watching the production of bullets, Li Yunlong said eagerly: "Comrade Duan Yunpeng, what about the cannon I want?" With it, I don't even need Italian cannons! ”
The Italian cannon Li Yunlong mentioned was actually a French 75-mm field gun, which was introduced to China very early and copied.
Now Duan Yunpeng is also preparing to produce a more advanced 80-millimeter field gun, which is more powerful than the Italian cannon, and the range is also longer.
In the artillery production workshop, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were excited when they saw the artillery parts being produced.
In addition to the 80-mm field artillery, there are also 100-mm and 80-mm mortars, which are all very good actual combat equipment, and if the new regiment can be equipped with a large number of artillery, Li Yunlong will be confident that he will be able to defeat the most powerful devil wing.
During this time, Duan Yunpeng was indeed very powerful, designing so many advanced weapons and equipment.
Li Yunlong saw the double-three-five anti-aircraft gun in production, and said curiously: "Xiao Duan, what kind of cannon is this?" ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this is a double-three-five anti-aircraft gun used for air defense. Our new regiment is basically useless, mainly for the air defense of our arsenal. But if you really want to, you can also get a few, because this kind of anti-aircraft gun can actually be used for flat fire, tanks, armored vehicles, pillboxes and so on! ”
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Yes, then we have to get a few, the little devil's tank armored car is indeed a headache, if we have this kind of cannon, then we don't have to be afraid of him!" ”
Indeed, in the past, the only way to face the Japanese tanks was to use the soil method, and the soldiers rushed under the belly of the tank with cluster grenades to detonate it.
And the success rate of this tactic is very low, because the tank is accompanied by infantry, and it is too difficult to rush in.
Even if it succeeds, it is very tragic.
Double three or five anti-aircraft guns, there is no problem with fighting the tanks of the little devils, and the tanks of the little devils in this period are basically very weakly armored, strictly speaking, they cannot be called tanks, they can only be regarded as armored vehicles.
Everything is developing in a beautiful direction, Li Yunlong never dreamed of it, Duan Yunpeng still understands this, and it is really right for the arsenal to be handed over to him.
Zhao Gang was also very curious, how could Duan Yunpeng understand so much, wasn't he a farmer who knew martial arts?
