Chapter 54: Not an Easy Bombardment!

"You're in such a hurry to urge tung oil, already... Have you started trial production? ”

Zhang Wanhe looked at Li Yunlong with hesitation in his tone.

The state government is also engaged in the production of potash tung explosives, and after he knew about it, he organized the technicians of the logistics department to tackle key problems, after all, tung oil is easy to obtain, and there are quite a few of them. In the end, it was found that the production of potash explosives was much more difficult than that of yellow explosives and Shimose explosives, and the technical requirements were high.

As far as he knows, the government has been preparing for more than a year, and even the trial production phase has not yet begun.

"The pilot production has been successful for a long time."

Grand Master Li smiled:

"Now there are a ton and a half of explosives in the warehouse, and you can bring it back when the time comes."

"So fast! That's a little five tons of stock! ”

Zhang Wanhe swallowed.

1.5 tons of explosives is really a lot, and the border area can produce 37,500 pieces of explosives with only 40 grams of explosives made in 1.5 tons, which is enough for a rich brigade-scale battle.

Moreover, the power of this explosive is only a little worse than that of yellow explosives, and the technology of cast iron prefabricated fragments of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal has also improved.

"How much explosives can you produce per day now?"

Zhang Wanhe was a little impatient.

So far, because of the ease of production and simple use, grenades are still the most consumed weapon in the troops, and there is no one, for the troops, the more the better, and no matter how much it is, it can be used up. Now hindering his production of grenades is the production capacity of explosives, Taihang Mountain Arsenal can't make steel by itself, but there is no difficulty in manufacturing pig iron for grenade shells, the earth blast furnace is very simple, and the iron ore has also been found.

"After one month, we can produce one ton per day, and after two months, we can achieve five tons per day."

Li Yunlong abducted a mouthful of white teeth.

"Shhh

Zhang Wanhe couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and almost knocked his teeth because he was too frightened.

Five tons a day, that is, 125,000 grenades a day, even if only half of the grenades are produced, it is enough.

The rest can also produce mortar shells and grenade grenades, and the technology of smokeless propellant has also broken through on his side, and the production capacity is not small, although the technology is not as good as that of foreign countries, and the range of the shells produced is lower, but it is enough to fight devils.

Moreover, it can reach five tons per day in two months, then...

"Can you really produce 50 tons a day here?"

Zhang Wanhe swallowed his throat.

When he heard Li Yunlong say that he could get a production line with a daily output of 50 tons of explosives, he didn't care, as the head of the logistics department, he knew very well that between the design capacity and the actual production capacity, there is no one thing at all, and sometimes the difference is ten times normal.

"Am I going to lie to you?"

Li Yunlong smiled, and his tone was proud:

"However, to reach the maximum production capacity, it will take at least a year and a half to train workers and technicians, and the raw materials are enough, depending on whether the tung oil provided by your kid is enough."

"Don't worry about raw materials."

Zhang Wanhe waved his hand:

"I'll give you as much tung oil as you want."

The more explosives, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops, the more painful the devils will be, and it can also deter those who want to make trouble from moving.

"I heard that the devils bombed your side, is there no problem with your factory?"

Zhang Wanhe couldn't help but worry again.

"Don't worry about this."

李云龙 says:

"The equipment of our production line is all small equipment, which can be dispersed into dozens of small factories and arranged in caves in the nearby mountainous areas, so there is no need to worry about bombing losses."

"However, the processing of raw materials needs to be in an open and ventilated environment, and a large area is required, although I have also done dispersion and strengthened air defense measures, but in the face of the devil bombardment, there will definitely be some losses."

"You can rest assured of this."

Zhang Wanhe is full of pride:

"I'll make sure you don't lack tung oil, I'll add as much as the devil fried."

This topic ended successfully, both of them were very satisfied, and they both got what they wanted, Li Yunlong issued an invitation:

"Let's go, hehehe, I'll take you to see our Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory."

Zhang Wanhe's eyes lit up, he came this time, mainly for this machinery factory.

The arsenal has received all kinds of gun parts produced by this gun parts factory under the Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory, and the quality of those firing pins is excellent, not worse than that of the devil at all, and the quality of the steel is still exceeding.

There are also those customized parts, and a large number of machine tools and equipment have also been repaired and updated.

That master can't leave the independent regiment, but the equipment produced by the master is no problem anywhere, and the problems encountered in other places can also be consulted remotely, and the life of the earth blast furnace is because of the words of this master has been tripled.

"That's right."

Zhang Wanhe said suddenly:

"I'm here this time and I've brought you a gift."

"What gift?"

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong looked over.

"Among the 120 outstanding and exemplary workers in the arsenals and repair shops in various places, many of them have worked in large foreign factories before."

Zhang Wanhe said.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, you've done a great favor."

Glancing at Zhao Gang, Grand Master Li was immediately overjoyed.

Excellent and exemplary skilled workers.

Being able to get this excellent means that the technical level is high, and you can repair, manufacture and even improve firearms with only sword intent equipment and even manual power equipment. And being exemplary can be more difficult than being excellent, which requires a strong will and enterprising spirit.

With this group of talents, the lack of talents faced by the repair machinery has been completely solved, and the production speed of the new board car can also be accelerated a lot.

Zhang Wanhe was also relieved to see Li Yunlong's expression.

These more than 100 people are the treasures of the troops, some of them are even the core talents of the border arsenal, and he can not decide to come to the independent regiment alone, as for the reason for coming, the independent regiment repair institute has shown amazing technical ability, and only by indirect inquiry, it has solved most of the mechanical problems that the Taihang Mountain Arsenal is currently facing.

Moreover, the talents who came out of it also increased their technical ability, so this group of technical backbones came over.

At noon that day, the camel was carrying more than a ton of explosives, and Zhang Wanhe left Zhao Jiayu with joy.

Li Yunlong was also full of joy to inspect the air defense position, in order to strengthen air defense, of course, and in order to bomb down the devil plane, he gritted his teeth and spent 300 tons of quota in exchange for 20 twin 40 antiaircraft guns, 10 quadruple 40 antiaircraft guns, and a large number of artillery shells from Chen Fan.

With ten-wheeled trucks, towing these heavy anti-aircraft guns is not a problem, and the road bridges near the base area are reinforced and can also be used by these guys.

"Fumino, how's it going?"

Coming to an air defense position, Li Yunlong looked at Wen Ye, the commander of the air defense company, who was tinkering next to a twin-mounted 40 antiaircraft gun.

"Commander."

Fumino walked out from behind a large sight frame, and his tone was excited:

"We should have asked Boss Chen for these multi-mounted anti-aircraft guns, these anti-aircraft guns are not only more powerful, but also equipped with several times more advanced aiming equipment than single-barreled, and the accuracy is much higher.

"Okay."

Grand Master Li's eyes lit up.

Although the devil's bombing has stopped, reconnaissance planes often come and go, and these planes fly at high speed at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and sometimes they will drop to an altitude of about 3,000 meters and pass at high speed, and this altitude of 40 antiaircraft guns can reach it, but the air defense has tried several times, and they have not even touched the hair.

······

Taiyuan.

First Army Flying Group, in the Operational Conference Room.

"Osa, General Yoshimoto ordered us to restart the bombing of the Independent Regiment, focusing on bombing the explosives factory facilities of the Independent Regiment, and be sure to destroy its production capacity."

The staff officer walked in and conveyed Yoshimoto's order.

Suddenly, the captain of the flying brigade frowned, obviously, this was not a good order.

"Hey..."

After the staff officer left, the captain sighed deeply.

This bombing, but it is not easy, not only the air defense forces of the independent regiment, but also those factories, it is really not easy to bomb.

After the independent regiment had a large number of antiaircraft guns, even 40-caliber antiaircraft guns, the bombing stopped, but the reconnaissance never stopped, and when the weather was fine, the reconnaissance planes swept by at a high speed of more than 3,000 meters and the safety of the reconnaissance was very guaranteed.

At this height, although the 40 anti-aircraft guns are threatening, the opponent is all single-barreled, and the firepower is limited, as long as the speed is guaranteed, it is difficult to shoot down.

Coupled with the intelligence officers on the ground, this army aviation chief is well aware of the situation in that explosives factory.

Different from the general industrial area, this explosives factory is very special, the whole factory is scattered, the production facilities are scattered between the winding mountain roads, most of the machinery and equipment are in the caves, and some are in the side rooms of the road halfway up the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, and the production lines are connected by the road.

This is the first time he has seen such factories scattered and hidden in complex alpine terrain, but he has to admit that although this will increase the cost of production and greatly increase the number of workers needed, it is extremely safe, especially in the face of air threats.

With the help of dense mountains and high-altitude bombing, the probability of hitting the factory building located on the mountainside or the edge of the road at the bottom of the mountain is pitiful, and hundreds of bombs may not necessarily hit one, and the scattered production lines also make one or two factories hit almost no impact on production.

Low-altitude bombardment, with high accuracy, can hit the plant, but the high mountains also make the dive bomb risk of hitting the mountain, not to mention the independent regiment anti-aircraft guns scattered all over every hill.

"It's a nuisance."

Glancing at Commander Yoshimoto's order handed over by the staff officer, the Osa sighed again.

The tasks assigned by the superiors must be carried out, but the problems in the tasks can only be solved by himself.

In addition to the difficulty of hitting the bombing target, he also faced a number of problems.

At present, there are only 30 experienced pilots in the First Army's flight group, and the remaining 70 are all novices who are seriously inexperienced, the kind that can just take off, and have not even been trained in instrument flight.

In addition, all the bombers are outdated Type 97 dive bombers, which are slow and have poor maneuverability. Fortunately, the reconnaissance plane was not bad, and it was very fast.

Glancing at the weather report, the sky was sunny and cloudy today, and he gave the order:

"Take off two reconnaissance planes to carry out low-altitude reconnaissance of the independent regiment."

"At an altitude of 1,500 meters and 1,000 meters, focus on photographing the factory area, pay attention to the speed, as long as you maintain enough speed and reduce the time you are exposed to the range, you can ensure safety."

"Hey."

Following his order, half an hour later, two reconnaissance planes took off from the Taiyuan airfield.

On the two reconnaissance planes that took off, there was not only a pilot in the front seat, but also a camera operator in the back seat.

And not long after the reconnaissance plane took off, this Dazuo received a message.

"Dazuo, ten Type 97 heavy explosive planes will arrive at Taiyuan Airport in a week, these ten planes, including the pilot, will belong to the First Army, and the general will make you ready to respond."

"In addition, thirty tons of aviation explosives will arrive in two weeks."

"I see."

It sounds like good news, but the devil Dazuo is not very happy.

These supports did not solve his core problem, how to effectively bomb the explosives factory of the Independent Regiment while avoiding heavy losses in the flight group?

The Type 97 heavy explosion aircraft has a strong bomb-carrying capacity and a long flight to the city, but what is the use of this? High-altitude bombing, I'm afraid that it will not set off fireworks for the independent regiment, low-altitude bombing, and the Type 97 heavy bombing will be completely targeted.

Could it be...

He thought of the seventy rookie pilots, as well as the Type 97 dive bombers that had been allocated to him in large numbers and had been retired as training aircraft.

An idea came to this Dazuo's heart.

The problems he is currently facing should also be known above·····
