Chapter 668: The Surprise Brought by the Arsenal (First Update!) )
At the arsenal weapons production plant, dozens of workers gathered around the machine gun production line, watching one machine gun part after another being stamped out by the machine tool!
Zhang Yancheng, the director of the factory, stood by the side, with a serious face!
Because it was the first time to modify the machine gun, every part that came out of the production line had to be inspected by him before it could be used!
Behind him, the ammunition supply parts of the two crooked handles have been removed!
The most conspicuous bucket of the crooked light machine gun is gone!
Not surprisingly, after half an hour, the original position where the bucket was hung will be replaced by a magazine!
"Director, all the accessories needed to modify the crooked handle have been stamped out!" The leader of the machine gun production team, who was also Zhang Yancheng's deputy when he was still the leader of the machine gun team, looked at the table of parts in front of him, and reported expectantly and nervously!
"Success or failure is here, I will assemble it myself, and you will be my deputy!" Zhang Yancheng decided to take it personally!
These workers and dozens of workers in front of them have basically been brought out by themselves in the past few months, and they are more than one level worse than themselves in terms of technology and experience! And the modification of the crooked handle is the first big project given by the regiment commander to the weapons factory, and there are high hopes, which can only succeed, not fail!
Only by taking action in person, Zhang Yancheng can rest assured!
"Yes, Director!" The team leader answered immediately!
He also wanted to witness this decisive moment with his own eyes!
Over the past few months, more than a dozen machine guns have been repaired by his hands, and he knows very well the shortcomings of the crooked handle!
If you can use your own hands to change the shortcomings of this machine gun, the performance of the crooked handle machine gun can be improved by at least two percent!
If the performance of the machine gun is good, the troops will be more comfortable to use, and the combat effectiveness will also rise!
The sound of "click......" keeps ringing on the console!
Two people cooperate with each other, and in ten minutes, more than a dozen parts of the size are loaded into machine guns!
"Click......"
Zhang Yancheng decisively pulled the bolt of the machine gun, and in an instant, the crisp and familiar sound of the bullet loading reached his ears!
Although he has not yet conducted a test firing, with his knowledge of machine guns, he can judge whether a machine gun is good or bad by listening to the sound!
A smile appeared on his face on the spot, and he shouted excitedly: "Eighty percent is done, and when the other machine gun is assembled, immediately organize people to conduct a test firing!" ”
"If you can, report to the regiment commander immediately, and then modify all the crooked handles of the whole regiment's equipment!"
At the first battalion in Liuji Town, the battalion commander He Jun is checking the training of the whole battalion company by company!
After coming out of the training ground of the second company, he was very satisfied, and his face was full of smiles!
Those absenteeism who came back from the mine are worthy of being veterans who have been on the battlefield and fought little devils!
After eating and drinking well for half a month, and after the body slowly recovers, it will directly become a little tiger!
In less than ten days of run-in training, the troops already have an elite shadow!
Compared with those recruits who were directly replenished from the guerrillas, the gap is very large, and it can be called a world of difference!
He Jun is confident that in more than half a month, he will definitely be able to train them into an elite army!
"Battalion commander, regimental commander order!" The battalion headquarters orderly suddenly chased after him and reported!
"What's the matter?" He Jun didn't think much about it, and asked directly!
"The regiment commander asked us to send half of the crooked light machine guns of the whole battalion to the regiment headquarters, the sooner the better!" The orderly replied!
Guns are the life of a soldier, especially light and heavy machine guns with powerful firepower!
Half of it will be withdrawn at once, and once the Japanese puppet army kills it at this time, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be sharply reduced by at least three percent!
He Jun's brows immediately twisted!
"Did the regiment commander say the reason, why so many machine guns were withdrawn, did he say when they would be returned!"
"Didn't say it!" The orderly shook his head and replied!
He Jun's brows furrowed even deeper, but he still quickly made a decision: "Execute the order!" ”
"Order one, two, or two companies to immediately send all the crooked handles to the baggage platoon, and let them march quickly to the regimental headquarters!"
"At the same time: order the third company to strengthen the vigilance to prevent the little devils from taking the opportunity to sneak attack!"
He Jun didn't know that a huge surprise was waiting for him!
In the blink of an eye, the six crooked handles have been taken away for three days!
For He Jun, these three days are tantamount to spending days like a year, and it is very difficult!
Even when you sleep at night, you have to keep one eye open, for fear that the Japanese army will attack you a few kilometers away!
Just when he was hesitating whether to send a telegram to the regimental headquarters to ask when these machine guns would be sent back, a dozen cavalrymen suddenly came outside the station!
The cavalry who took the lead jumped off his horse and rushed to He Jun to report: "Report to Battalion Commander He, I am the platoon commander of a platoon of the cavalry company, and I was ordered to send back the machine gun that was taken away from the regiment headquarters!" ”
"A total of six machine guns, please send someone to receive them! Then gather all the remaining crooked handles of the first battalion, and we will bring them back to the regimental headquarters! ”
"That's not right!"
Seeing several cavalry machine guns on the ground, the instructor immediately noticed the problem!
"The machine guns drawn by the regimental headquarters are all crooked, and the cartridges are fed! These machine guns are all magazine feeds, is it a mistake on the part of the regimental headquarters! ”
He Jun's brows were also twisted!
After picking up a machine gun and looking at it very carefully, he suddenly reacted and shouted excitedly!
"I've seen this machine gun in Datong, it's the latest machine gun equipped by the little devil, it's modified on the basis of the crooked handle, and it uses a magazine to feed the ammunition, and its performance and firepower are better than the crooked handle!"
"I understand, the regiment commander said in Datong that when we return to the base area, we will use the military equipment we captured in Datong to transform all the crooked handles of the troops' equipment into Type 96 machine guns! I didn't expect that it was only less than half a month, and the head of the regiment did it! ”
"Instructor, what are you still cold? Immediately notify the troops directly under the third company and the battalion, send all the crooked handles of the equipment, and let the cavalry platoon take it to the regimental headquarters for modification! ”
"You have never used this kind of machine gun, and if you have used it, you will know that the Type 96 is not only easier to use than the crooked handle we use now, but also has more firepower, and a machine gunner can operate it casually, and you can use it as a submachine gun in your arms!"
The cavalry platoon commander immediately replied: "Battalion Commander He, you are right, these machine guns are all remodeled from the arsenal!" ”
"According to the order of the regiment headquarters, each modified machine gun is equipped with three magazines, which can fully meet the needs of the battlefield, and the bullets used are still six or five calibers, the same as the three or eight big covers!"
When the arsenal was working at full capacity to modify machine guns, ammunition production was not idle!
Four production lines of reloading bullets were produced around the clock, and almost ten thousand rounds of ammunition were delivered to the regimental headquarters every day, a quarter of which were large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets!
The grenade production line also began to be put into production, and almost a thousand grenades were sent to the regimental headquarters every day!
What excites Li Hao the most is that the idea of using shells to produce mountain cannons has been achieved!
In five days, the ammunition factory actually produced fifty rounds of mountain artillery shells!
As the workers become more skilled, the output will definitely increase further! 2k reading web
