Chapter 129 The Power of the Masses
Perhaps... you can try to change the 56 and a half design to turn it into a semi-automatic with a caliber of 65! In this way, the source of bullets can be more! As for the light machine gun...
You still have to use Czech style! Maybe you can strengthen the design of the 56 light machine gun and then fire 65-caliber bullets, but the barrel and bolt are still a big problem!
The Japanese didn't dare to use the full-load Youban rifle bullets to the wicked handle. Hu Yizhou felt that the arsenal could not produce gun machines and barrels with strength exceeding wicked handle...
Jiuzhai started a large-scale production movement, including the construction of canals, the construction of ponds and dams, and the land for wastelands... It was very busy!
However, Hu Yizhou stipulated that when the land was opened, the jujube trees and walnut trees along the ditches and weirs were not allowed to be destroyed, and he didn't know what to do.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the weather was clear.
Hujia Village is busy, and a small convertible hood was set up in the small square in front of the ancestral hall in the village. Uncle Hu San led the man to make wooden handles outside the convertible. Inside the convertible, boxes of grenade cast iron shells were placed on the ground, and boxes of explosives were scattered and packaged with explosives were also placed on the wooden table.
In the square outside the convertible, a college student named Peng Song was explaining to everyone how to assemble grenades. There was a blackboard behind him, and the sectional and assembly drawings of the grenades were drawn on the blackboard.
Peng Song carefully and seriously explained to the more than 30 women in front of him how to assemble the grenades. Hu Yizhou's eldest and second sister-in-law were also among them.
In Jiuzhai, there is no messy tradition of men and women who can not get along with each other. Women have to go up the mountain to work, so why bother to assemble some grenades?
After explaining it carefully several times, Peng Song demonstrated several of them for everyone, and then guided the women to assemble them themselves.
The assembly of the grenade is really simple. Put the wooden handle, detonator fuse, and explosives together and put them together. After seeing that everyone made one, Peng Song took over the made grenade and handed it over to the militia beside him to go to the test site outside the village for actual inspection.
The test ground is the practice ground where later generations of military rabbit recruits practice bomb drops. There are bulletproof craters and sandbag walls.
The grenades assembled by women are not the type of military grenade with a 9-two-weight meter-loaded fragments, but the civilian grenade with a 7-two-weight meter-loaded balance.
The person in charge of the experiment was an old man in his fifties named Hu Donghai from Sun Jiaji, who was also the militia captain in the village. Like Old Man Sun, Hu Donghai's family also herded sheep, and no one was more suitable for throwing grenades in Hujia Village than him.
Hu Donghai came to the test site with more than 30 grenades and began to drop bombs.
For an old man who has been holding sheep for a lifetime, it should not be too easy to throw more than thirty grenades. One day, you must not put a hundred or eighty stone wraps on sheep? Anyway, in the next time Comrade Hu Donghai demonstrated various fancy grenades to everyone.
The experiment ended, the explosion was not bad at 6 seconds, the explosion radius was 10 meters, and the number of fragments could not be calculated, but it was absolutely no less than 150 pieces (there were prefabricated fragment grooves on the shell), but what happened that you threw the farthest one by nearly 80 meters? Isn't this a magical drama, why don't you blow up the plane?
I tried it after a different person, and the results this time were more reliable, 50 meters, an excellent result.
After completing the experiment, everyone knew that the production of grenades in Hujia Village had officially begun.
After the pilot project in Hujia Village, the production of grenades began to be carried out in several other villages, but did not include Sun Jiaji.
The geographical location of Sun Jiaji determines that some more secret things cannot be carried out here, but it doesn’t matter if it produces some black gunpowder.
"Who doesn't set up firecrackers during the Chinese New Year?" This is the catchphrase of the Sun Family Militia. But what if you make black gunpowder into granular shapes?
In just three days, the grenade production work in Jiuzhai started smoothly. Although the main labor force is women, the more women know the importance of arms in this era of war. In addition, the natural care of women, the quality of grenades is absolutely guaranteed.
You should know that those who use these grenades are either their own men or their own dolls. Who dares to cheat and cheat?
Seeing that women were able to produce ordinary civilian grenades, the arsenal simply put military products in the village to produce them. Select those women who are quick-witted, bold and careful in their hands to divide the process and specialize in producing military grenades.
Some are specially filled with steel columns with diameters of 3 and lengths of 3 in the fracture interlayer, some are filled with sulfur or charcoal powder between the fractures, some are responsible for screwing the cover seal, some are responsible for installing the fuze wooden handle, and some are responsible for finalizing the glue seal...
In short, the grenade production procedures, which were not complicated, were completed by these women after the work was divided! Later, the cast shells and the explosives were placed in the village. It was just for the old men and uncles! In addition, there were also students responsible for supervising production safety!
Although these explosives are basically safe, especially TNT and Kaizi explosives. But isn’t there any black gunpowder? What if any old man wants to smoke a cigarette...
800 military grenades and 5,000 civil grenades are produced a day, which is the output of Jiuzhai. At first glance, there are quite a few, but there are really not many when they are dispersed.
In 8 villages, more than 200 women, and more than 300 uncles and uncles, on average, one person only makes a few grenades a day, which is limited to the lack of materials.
When the arsenal officially starts to operate, the production of tin and explosives is sufficient and full production is produced. This output... or the power of the people is infinite.
Hu Yizhou gave full responsibility for the production of grenades to students like Peng Song. They were enthusiastic and responsible, and regarded the rejuvenation of the nation as their burden! Now they have made grenades for the soldiers on the front line, and they have given great enthusiasm.
Of course, Hu Yizhou would not treat these students and villagers badly. It is necessary to manage food, and he has to eat better. Another person will pay another dollar a month. It is less? It is quite a lot. How much does it cost to be a soldier? It often doesn’t get it!
Hu Yizhou established militia teams in various villages. These militia were young and strong, and those old men and uncles who failed to join the security regiment. They were all descendants of the Qi family army, so it was easy to organize! However, they had no guns and ammunition, and their weapons were only cold weapons such as bows, arrows, spears, etc., and at most they added a few grenades.
However, the militias in Lijiazhai were very rich. They could cast tiger cannons. Not only did they cast 60 doors for the security regiment, but they also cast 30 doors for the militia in their own village. Men, women, young and old all came to the mountain with a few cannons and rain of rock bullets.
Hu Yizhou stipulated that stone eggs are used for the cannons of the Tiger Zun Cannon, so that lead bullets can be saved to be used as fuses. In addition, stone eggs can also be ground out using a special grinding machine, which is very convenient to produce.
