Chapter 1032: Logistical Preparation
This is an unexpected situation for Yang Mingzhi!
"What? You just gave me five flying fish? What about your commitment?! A promise of two a day?! ”
"But! Commander! Due to the rain, the propellant we prepared was damp! ”
"Wet? Isn't the storage of the warehouse done well? ”
"Yes! The storekeeper was negligent in his duties, and the rainy day defense was not done well, and I have now let those people ......"
"Don't shirk responsibility, now let's talk about the specifics!" Yang Mingzhi scolded.
"Yes! It's not just the medicine that gets wet, it's the fuel that gets wet! So much so that the production of molten steel has decreased in the past few days! I thought...... I thought you understood. ”
Yang Mingzhi was furious in Rigushkov's office at one point, and after some explanations from this person, he was also responsible for his negligence.
He hooked his head and said to himself depressedly: "It's really the best, the big war has not yet arrived, and my preparations are so bad!" If the Germans attack in general, won't we have to finish? ”
Rygushkov looked like he had done something wrong, respectfully accompanied the commander, and apologized: "I didn't do a good job in this matter of the commander's lesson!" ”
"Of course you didn't do a good job!" Yang Mingzhi raised his head violently and asked, "You just attended the meeting, why don't you explain the truth?" You didn't even say a word! I thought you were all set. ”
"I'm sorry Commander! Given that situation, I am afraid that my statement will ......"
"Alas! It's too late to say anything! Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and sighed: "With only five ruins, you can't achieve many results!" Well, we're going to have to do some crazy tricks! ”
Yang Mingzhi stopped chatting with Rygushkov in the office, and the two went directly to the warehouse where the new rockets were stored.
On April 25, the arsenal built 30 Catfish rockets. Before the development of the Exocet was completed, the arsenal had two full weeks to expand its armaments. There was only a brief burst of rain on these days, the rest of the day was sunny and the impact of the climate on weapons production tended to be zero.
In order to alleviate the disappointment of the commander, Rigushkov first led him to the warehouse of catfish rockets that were independently housed.
"Comrade commander, these are catfish, we produced a total of 55 pieces. Of these, 40 are normal charges and 15 are cloud bursts. ”
This is a semi-crypt warehouse, surrounded by cement. The warehouse is neatly built, and it is perfect for storing column-like rocket launchers. It's just that these rockets are currently missing a part - the collision fuse. This will be installed in a surprise attack before it is put into operation.
Yang Mingzhi's anxious heart calmed down a lot: "At least these rockets can make the fighters easily step on Slavzich." ”
Out of this semi-crypt warehouse, he had burrowed into another warehouse with a slope. The worker hung two kerosene lamps on the wooden wall, and several statues covered with gray linen appeared in front of him.
The cloth is covered with the five "flying fish", and their wings are really obvious. The workers lifted the sackcloth, and the true face of the rockets neatly placed came into view.
"Very good!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands with satisfaction, "At least I still have five!" ”
"Nope! Commander! Today's arsenal is still in full production, I ...... I promise! ”
"Oh?"
"I promise, before the sun goes down tomorrow, I'll produce five more for you!"
"Is this possible?" Yang Mingzhi asked, "Don't you make shoddy work for me in order to catch up with the schedule!" ”
"I vouch for my life!"
Looking at his upright appearance, Yang Mingzhi believed it. If you think about it, the arsenal may have prefabricated some materials. For example, the fairing, the most critical of the rocket, is like a body, and then the "internal organs" are stuffed into this "body" one by one, and finally the rocket artillery is completed.
In addition, the warheads of these five "Exocet" were filled with 20 kilograms of Amato explosives, which can be regarded as the most cost-effective explosives that can be produced by the guerrilla republic. The full power of the twenty-kilogram Amato is about twenty-five kilograms of TNT.
As far as rocket artillery is concerned, such a charge is still too powerful. In this era, aerial bombs are 250 kilograms, or even a ton of jumboums, at every turn. Especially the kind of "bombshell", the TNT charge can be half a ton, and if the explosion is accurate, the aircraft carrier can be fired into the soul!
In such a comparison, the "flying fish" is really a small "flying fish". ”
This was not what Yang Mingzhi wanted, he immediately said: "Rygushkov, how much more high-energy fuel do we have?" ”
"Huh? What disinfectants do you say? They didn't work because the cylinders were so thick that we ......"
"Nope! I mean the chemistry lab stock! ”
"This ...... Less than twenty kilograms. ”
"So little?!" Yang Mingzhi pointed at these rockets without hesitation: "Then use Amato, and bring all the supplies for general ammunition to supply them here." Now that all five are loaded, we'll fight with them! The other five you claim are made in a hurry! Catfish rocket artillery, give me the fuse installed immediately. You have to talk about these preparations before the sun goes down tomorrow! If you don't prepare well, you have a huge responsibility for the forces of action, and you know the result! ”
This is a dead order, Rygushkov is already sweating on his forehead, and he stiffens his head: "Guaranteed to complete the task!" If I can't do it, I'll kill myself to apologize! ”
Yang Mingzhi glanced at him: "It's good that you have this kind of awareness." Now immediately prepare, RPG warheads, grenades, and recoilless shells ......"
The arsenal was a hot scene, and Yang Mingzhi left here quite satisfied. To be honest, the model of the arsenal is quite like that of the Japanese arsenal, that is, the scattered small workshops carry out primary processing, and the products are sent to the core factory area of the arsenal for deep processing.
Today, there are more than 3,000 workers working for the arsenal, and this huge group of workers is the guarantee of the army's combat effectiveness. It is a pity that there is a serious shortage of machine tools and technical personnel, and the relatively high-end weapons production capacity is always unsatisfactory.
Since the arsenal can't make so many "flying fish", it can only use its brains on charges. Attacking densely populated cities with cloudburst bombs was later called an act against humanity, but this was World War II. Since Yang Mingzhi saw the bloody and cruel "Killing Factory", the bestiality in his heart has increased a lot. Of course, he wanted to use advanced weapons, and since the temporary stock of high-energy fuel was too small (the chemical laboratory was mainly concocting Amato), he made do with ordinary explosives.
Compared to the production of weapons in the arsenal, Kavitsky's task was much simpler.
The blacksmith village has a large number of women, and it is impossible to expect them to fight, but almost all of them have experience as tailors. Out of national customs, they like to braid their hair, both young and old, and this skill is used in braiding rope, which is like a fish in water.
In one fell swoop, Kavitsky ordered the entire village textile workshops to cease work, and all the workers threw themselves into the braids of the "ferry rope".
How many people are involved in this work? More than a thousand!
A nylon rope is slender, a dozen twisted into a strand, and its strength surpasses that of steel wire! Many women have never seen this material before, and they are amazed by the smoothness and flexibility of nylon, and the instinctive association of weaving these nearly ten meters long thin threads into a blanket is absolutely comfortable and enjoyable.
