Chapter 482: A Real Surprise (First Update!) )
"Team Leader Liu, you're reloading bullets!" Looking at the bullet that had been completed in Liu Guoyu's hand, Li Hao finally couldn't help but ask, his face was full of excitement!
Political Commissar Wang Hong, Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng, Deputy Regiment Commander Luo Yun, and the three of them also stared at the bullet in Liu Guoyu's hand with a pair of big eyes, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to snatch the bullet in Liu Guoyu's hand immediately!
Liu Guoyu only found out at this time that the head of the regiment, Li Hao, was standing in front of him!
was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Hello regiment leader!" Everyone else in the repair institute has something to do, and I can't be idle, so I asked Director Jiang for a deputy to study reloading bullets! ”
"I'll do the propellant, just make it into granules from the captured explosives, and the most troublesome thing is the primer, the warhead, and the primer cap! It took many experiments to get ten qualified primer caps and warheads, and a lot of scrapped materials! ”
"The best raw material for the primer is thundermercury, and I also use it in the Taiyuan Arsenal. But I don't know chemistry, I only know the approximate composition of thundermercury, and I can't do it. So the primer used now is a local method that I heard in the arsenal at that time, nitrate crushing and realgar powder are mixed, the performance is unstable, a total of ten experimental bombs were made, but I don't know how the effect is! ”
"Experiment now, experiment now!"
Li Hao immediately ordered, very anxious.
Looking at the ten bullets handed over by Liu Guoyu was like seeing the piles of bullet casings in the warehouse all turned into yellow bullets, and his eyes were full of anticipation!
"Regiment commander, let the soldiers of the experiment pay attention, you must be prepared. I'm worried that the performance of these bullets is unstable and will blow up! Liu Guoyu followed suit and added!
The rifle is fixed on the ground, a rope is tied to the rifle trigger, and the person hides behind the earthen wall two meters behind the rifle, and pulls the trigger by pulling the rope, even if it really explodes, there will be no danger!
Chen Wei, the commander of the guard company, personally conducted the experiment!
The first bullet is loaded into the magazine, the bullet is loaded, and then the rope quickly hides behind the earthen wall, waiting for the order to fire!
"Let's start experimenting!"
Since Li Hao was nervous and excited, he ordered!
Pull the rope hard, and the rifle doesn't move anything!
"It's a dud, it must have been a primer that wasn't fired!" Liu Guoyu's face flashed with a touch of loss, and he analyzed.
A touch of disappointment quickly flashed on Li Hao's face, but he quickly reacted: "It's okay, when you make a mistake in doing anything, continue the experiment!" ”
"Even if only one of these ten bullets can be used, that is hope, which means that we can reload the bullets!"
The second bullet was muted, and the third continued to be muted......
Just when the last bit of hope in Li Hao's mind was about to be shattered!
"Bang ......"
The familiar sound of gunfire finally rang out!
Liu Guoyu's tense nerves also relaxed, and the whole person was so excited that he almost jumped up and shouted loudly.
"It's done, this bullet is useful......"
Li Hao rekindled his hope, stared at the rifle two meters away with a pair of eyes, and decisively ordered: "Continue the shooting experiment and shoot all the remaining six bullets!" ”
The fifth bullet was dud, the sixth bullet was successfully fired, the seventh bullet was dud, the eighth bullet was successfully fired, and the last two bullets continued to be dud......
"Regiment commander, a total of ten experimental bombs have been successfully fired three times, and the remaining seven are all duds!" Chen Wei reported excitedly!
Although the success rate of bullets is very low, if a bullet is successfully fired, it means that the idea of reloading bullets is feasible, and Liu Guoyu's method is also correct, and the independent regiment is one step closer to large-scale reloading of bullets.!
This can definitely be called a great good thing for the independent regiment, and if the news spreads, it will not be possible for the military division, and even the military district will be alarmed!
Li Hao was also very excited, and immediately ordered: "Go and check the target immediately to see if the three bullets hit the target, and how is the trajectory and performance!" ”
"Yes, Captain!"
In less than five minutes, Chen Wei hurriedly ran over with the target in his arms, and from the smile on his face, Li Hao knew that the result was not bad!
"Commander, all three bullets hit the target, and the bullets are completely embedded in the target!"
"Show it to Team Leader Liu, he is an expert!"
Li Hao immediately ordered, and then looked at Liu Guoyu who was seriously studying the target with an expectant expression!
Soon, Liu Guoyu showed an excited expression on his face!
"Regiment commander, the depth of the three bullets embedded in the target is about the same as that of ordinary bullets, which means that there is no problem with the projectile and warhead of the bullet, and the initial velocity of the shot is not much different from the original bullet!"
"But the probability of a successful primer is too low, and this primer is certainly not suitable for large-scale reloading!"
"My opinion is to abandon this earthen primer, and use the thunder mercury used in the original bullet!"
"The regiment headquarters will find a way to buy a batch of thunder mercury and come back!"
"The amount of mercury used in each bullet is very small, and you don't need to buy too much at one time to reload tens of thousands of bullets!"
Li Hao shook his head and denied without thinking about it: "This road doesn't work!"
"The blockade of us by the Japanese puppet army is too tight, and now it is difficult for us to even buy medicines, let alone mine mercury that can be used to produce bullets and shells!"
"And relying on purchase is not a long-term solution for us to massively reload bullets, the best way is to produce them ourselves!"
"Only in this way will we reload bullets and develop the military industry without being controlled by others!"
Liu Guoyu's face quickly flashed a touch of helplessness, and then he shook his head and replied: "I don't know much about chemistry, although I know the basic components of thunder mercury, but it must be more difficult to produce it than to ascend to the sky!" ”
Hearing Liu Guoyu mention the word chemistry again, Li Hao's eyes lit up and he seemed to think of something? Asked with an expectant face!
"Chemistry? Team Leader Liu, do you mean that as long as you find someone who understands chemistry to come and cooperate with you, you can get the thundermercury out? ”
Liu Guoyu hesitated for a moment and affirmed: "This person must be proficient in chemistry, not just a little bit of fur!" ”
"I'm relieved to have your words!" Li Hao's face was directly happy, and then he reassured.
"I'll solve this problem, and the person you want will come to you to report it the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
Liu Guoyu then promised: "Regiment Leader, if there is really such a person, I promise to get the thunder mercury out within ten days, so as not to disappoint you, the regiment leader!" ”
"In addition, in addition to thundermercury, we also need some simple equipment to make bullets and primer caps, especially stamping machines, and manual can do it if there is no power!"
"For the warheads and primer caps of these ten bullets, we worked in the forging team for three days to build more than 100 before selecting ten qualified ones, the scrap rate is too high, and the production speed is slow!"
"If the regimental headquarters can get some stamping machines back, even if it is manual, as long as we get the models of the warhead and primer cap, we can make thousands of them a day, and there will be basically no scrap!"
"OK with a manual press!" Li Hao stared at Liu Guoyu and asked.
"Okay, it's just a little slower, and it takes a little more labor!" Liu Guoyu affirmed!
Li Hao immediately replied: "It may be difficult to get hold of a mechanically powered stamping machine, but a manual one is no problem!" In this way, I will get you back in ten days at most! ”
Liu Guoyu's reloaded bullets today are very unsuccessful in the real sense, and the success rate is only 30%, and there is no chance to even equip the troops!
But on the way back, whether it was Li Hao or the political commissar, there was excitement on his face!
Although the yield of 30% is very low, it gives him hope for reloading bullets.
Especially the self-confidence that Liu Guoyu showed just now made them more confident about the successful reloading of bullets!
