Chapter 242 Qijiang Technical College 1

On January 10, 1941, Qijiang County, the headquarters of the 68th Division was provisionally organized

The KE7 light machine gun was developed by two designers, Kelari and Ender, and uses the principle of automatic with a short recoil of the barrel, so there is no conduit structure, instead of a long handguard under the barrel, the front end of the handguard has a collapsible bipod, the barrel has a heat dissipation guard with a large hole, and the muzzle has a short flame suppressor that is slightly flare-shaped.

Unlike most LMG guns of the time, which were top-fed, the KE7 used the same bottom-fed magazine as the Browning LMG, which made the gun look somewhat similar to some of the later assault rifles. It uses 7.5x55 mm ammunition, has an arc magazine capacity of 20 rounds, and has two firing modes: semi-automatic and fully automatic.

The whole gun weighs 8 kg, is 1.19 meters long, has an initial velocity of 700 meters per second, a theoretical maximum rate of fire of 450~550 rounds per minute, a maximum firing range of 2000 meters, and the actual combat distance is the same as that of light machine guns such as Zb26.

Because it is not welcomed in its own country and has no competitiveness in the neighboring countries of Europe, it is aimed at the overseas market after only a small amount of production, and China and Ethiopia in Africa have purchased it successively, and the production volume is average.

In the 30s, when China purchased a total of 3,025 Qilali KE7 light machine guns, and recognized its performance, the Huaxing Machinery Factory controlled by the warlord surnamed Liu in Sichuan Province measured and imitated it.

The imitation version of the machine gun changed the caliber to 7.62 mm, which was convenient for unifying the caliber with the rifle, and the magazine was changed to a capacity of 25 rounds, and it is said that a total of more than 6,000 units were produced, which became the standard light machine gun of the Sichuan army, and other local troops such as the Guangdong army were also equipped.

In this time and space, this thing has been used all the way up to the Changde Defense Tiger Division. These guns were still preserved in large quantities even after the Anti-Japanese War, and they also participated in the Goryeo War with the volunteers.

However, because the production and processing capacity of Huaxing Machinery Factory is not as good as the original factory, the airtightness of the guns is lacking, so the performance of the guns is greatly reduced, and the dispersion of the impact points is very scattered.

"Why the Triggerari machine gun? Aren't all the Czech-style trials in northern Shaanxi? Wang Yue didn't understand, since northern Shaanxi has started small-scale production of Czech-style, right? If you can solve the problem of creating a barrel, why not produce a Czech version?

"Not to mention, there is no complete set of production drawings, lack of standard fixtures and templates, the shooting effect of the Czech light machine gun we made can only be said to be average, and the failure rate is high, the parts are not universal, and there is no condition to support us for the time being, but Huaxing Machinery Factory is different, everything is ready-made, I also dug up a few dismissed masters, I want to try to make some pull-out light machine guns, smash the imported trademark, a minimum can be sold for five hundred oceans." Li Yunlong still had some regret in his tone when he spoke, according to Hans technician, it would take at least three months to solve all the technical problems and material problems, which was really a pity.

"What kind of Qilali light machine gun to make, Lao Li, I'll get you the technical information and equipment of the DP28 light machine gun, and when the time comes, let's go directly to the big plate." Wang Yue pouted, the Cheerali light machine gun is indeed good, but he always thinks that the most suitable for the War of Resistance at this stage is the DP28 light machine gun, the design is simple, the precision is not high, the rate of fire is moderate, the accuracy and range are very mediocre, Lao Li even used those light machine guns equipped with 100 cartridges to replace the combat units of heavy machine guns, but what Lao Li didn't know was that this thing had a bullet chain conversion module, as long as you add that thing, you can directly load the bullet chain, with a thickened and lengthened barrel, it is a heavy machine gun, I'm afraid it's not the lightest heavy machine gun in the world at the moment, right?

mG42? Don't be funny, that thing is really good, but how to say it, it's definitely not suitable for us to use, it's too heavy to use as a light machine gun, and in terms of the physical fitness of our soldiers, we can't find many suitable machine gunners at all? When used as a heavy machine gun, the continuity of firepower is not very good, just the barrel, in the actual combat after a while, you have to change, in order to avoid exploding, the secondary shooter generally changes the barrel in advance, so that the continuity of firepower is even worse.

There is also the terrifying rate of fire of mG42 and mG34, a bullet chain will be gone for a while, and the ammunition carried by a machine gun crew will not last long at all, but the poor logistics and traffic conditions cannot guarantee the replenishment of ammunition at all, but dp28 is different, the rate of fire is medium, it saves a lot, it is easier to control the rate of fire, and the point fire effect is better.

"Lao Wang, can you get the process data and equipment of Dapan chicken?" Li Yunlong's tone was full of surprise, and his eyes burst into light, Dapanji was not the best machine gun he had ever used, but it was the best machine gun to master, and the requirements for maintenance were not high, and it could be used to adapt to the complex battlefield environment, even if it was put in muddy water and dust, it could still be shot.

The 47-round cartridge disc is also very good for vitality and continuity, and in general encounters, one cartridge is enough in many cases, and there is no need to change the cartridge at all, which the devil's machine gun can't do at all, as for the Czech type, just the 20-round small magazine?

"No problem, I can get you a full set of process materials and production equipment in the near future, Lao Li, you just wait to count the money." Wang Yue smiled,Lolita control has a light weapons production base in Binzhou,Back then, it produced the country's 53 type light machine gun,Although time has passed,But,According to the style of Lolita control,Those process materials,Special fixtures,Templates or something must be sealed,As for the equipment,Stay,If you don't stay, let Lolicon help you save a set,There are so many arsenals in Binzhou,It shouldn't be a problem to get a set of machine gun production equipment。

I'm not afraid of Loricon's suspicions, in 2023, the big plate chicken thing will appear on the battlefields in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and even the matching 7.62mm rifle cartridges are about to be sold out, at best, the organization wants to produce machine guns on its own.

"But Hans's technician said that the quality of the workers we have trained at present is not good, and it is okay to meet the current production, but it is not possible to produce sophisticated weapons and equipment, even if you want to produce Kelari light machine guns, you must also use Hans technicians in key positions." Li Yunlong was also a little embarrassed, and the problem returned to the original point.

"Lao Li, in fact, the purpose of our organization of industrial production is not to make money, the ultimate goal is to train qualified skilled workers, just the light machine gun in my hand, you may not be able to make so many in a few years, as for other things, I can also provide unlimited quantities, so, we still have to cultivate talents, a large number of talents." Wang Yue also felt very helpless, the illiteracy rate is extremely high, and the level of education is low, which are undeniable facts.

"Hans technicians think that we should build a special technical training school on the basis of the current training courses to continuously train skilled workers, but I asked several experts from the Ministry of Education, and they all think that our conditions are not yet able to run a school." Li Yunlong's face was lost, his family knew his own affairs, the highest education in the industrial system of Qijiang County was junior high school students, here, the number of junior high school students who really graduated was dozens, the five-digit worker base, there were only dozens of junior high school graduates, not even a high school student,

As for the so-called lecturers trained by the Shancheng government, most of them are junior and primary school students with good skills, and some of them can't even read words.

"Don't we have Hans Technician?" Wang Yue asked puzzled, to the experts of the Ministry of Education, he didn't want to comment too much, there are different ways to do this thing in a technical school, when Wang Yue was in junior high school, his school had a technical school, there was only one teacher, leading dozens of poor students, playing every day, organizing students to learn simple machining, and 100% employment after graduation.

And what is the academic qualification of that teacher? On the surface, it's a secondary school, right? According to the old lady, in fact, the man caught up with the turmoil after graduating from elementary school, and he didn't even go to junior high school, but he was just such a person, and he didn't teach students the same, and he did a good job.

"The number of translators is limited, and they have to be close to the production line, and the quality of those translators is also average, many times they have to carry a dictionary with them, not only that, but those translators from northern Shaanxi do not know the local dialect, and sometimes they have to guess when communicating with the locals." Li Yunlong really wanted to say that the baby was bitter, and when the government cooperated with Hans, he trained a lot of Hans translators, but few of those translators could speak the local dialect, and there were none, so the vast majority of the workers from Hans could only be used as front-line workers, which was a waste.

"We can let Hanse workers learn Chinese and local dialects, their cultural level is not low, they should not be slow to learn, we can set a reward goal for them, anyone who masters the local dialect within a month, we can take their families over and help them settle in Qijiang, what is the situation in Europe now, you also know, they will not refuse." Wang Yue smiled, this is a misunderstanding, why do we have to learn Hans, let Hans take the initiative to learn?

"A month? Is the time too tight? Li Yunlong was a little hesitant, when he visited Europe, he took a pamphlet to learn Hans every day, but until now, he only knows a certain daily language, and he can empathize with the difficulty of learning a language.

"We only have a few Hans here, I will get millions of study manuals and Hans dictionaries, and send them to Europe, as long as you learn the Sichuan dialect and Chinese, you can get a visa first, you can rest assured, there are always a lot of language geniuses in tens of millions of people, you must know that in Europe it is not only Hans who is engaged in concentration camps, those countries, one by one, the practice is actually similar, and there are naturally many people who are eager to emigrate, not much, it is enough for 10,000 people to act as translators a month." Wang Yue doesn't believe that those guys will refuse a chance to live, as long as one person learns, the family can live, is there anything more valuable than doing this?
