Chapter 199 Inspecting the Arsenal
The back mountain of Hujiacun has become a forbidden area in Jiuzhaigou. Whether it is the line of sky entering the valley or the Zhaojiading where the river flows out of the mountain, there are people guarding it.
In fact, entering the mountain from Hujiacun is a terrain all the way up. It looks like a cliff here, but when you reach the back mountain valley, it turns into a large valley surrounded by many foothills.
The bottom of the valley is actually about the same height as the cliffs in the mountains. The river in the valley makes a circle and then flows down from Zhaojiading to form a small waterfall. Then it gathers many streams and then flows out of Jiuzhaigou...
Some farmland in the valley of the back mountain belongs to the villagers of Hujia Village and Zhaojiading Village, but this is not the case in other villages. There are no cliffs in the back mountain of those villages, so you can directly follow the mountain road into the mountain.
Hu Yizhou led the people into the back valley, and first came to Luopo, a section of the Jiuzhai River where the water flow was relatively fast. The hydroelectric generating unit was located here, and a hydropower station was also built.
"Be sure not to touch the trees nearby. These trees are the natural cover of this hydropower station and cannot be discovered by Japanese planes!" Hu Yizhou said to the accompanying Factory Director Shi and others.
"We know! Didn't you see that the paths here are all covered? You're afraid of being exposed!" Director Shi replied.
"Well, let's go to the explosives factory and have a look!" Hu Yizhou continued to move forward.
There have been many more buildings in this valley, including workers' dormitories and family quarters, as well as various specialized factories.
For example, inside the cave is the factory building for all the equipment, the bullet production line is there, the precision machine tools are there, and the steam engine is there. The entrance to the cave is fairly bright during the day, but the inner part needs to be illuminated by electric lights.
Fortunately, we don’t have to pay for electricity in our home, so we can keep it on all day long without having to worry about electricity bills.
Factories such as explosives factory, artillery shell factory, gun assembly workshop, fuse assembly workshop, etc. are located in the valley in sequence and connected by a road.
The Explosives Factory is the farthest away, and there are basically no other buildings around it. This is to prevent excessive damage from accidents. The second is the Explosives Factory, which is even more empty around it.
There are quite a few buildings around the factories that produce detonators and flash caps, because the ones used here in Jiuzhai are not mercury fulminates, but other safer alternatives.
Hu Yizhou inspected these factories and workshops in turn, and also went into the cave to inquire about the use of the equipment.
What is gratifying is that the bullet production line has finally reached its peak daily output. Under three shifts, it can produce about 12,000 rounds of 792 rifle bullets a day. As for why it is still less than 1,500 rounds, it is mainly due to the problem of raw materials.
There are many workers in the factory, and there are hundreds of student workers alone. With the efforts of those professional students and old masters, a bullet production line that combines electric, hydraulic, steam power and labor is being formed and has been put into operation.
small-scale production.
The number of 3,000 rounds of daily ammunition is calculated not in 8 hours, but in 12 hours. Although it is a little less, it is also a supplement to the ammunition consumption of the security team.
In addition, there is also a small production line for customized shotshells for heavy-duty shotgun launchers. There are not many workers, but it is enough for the security team.
"That's called He Wenqing, right?" Hu Yizhou saw a student instructing workers to assemble shotguns and walked over.
"Hello, leader! He Wenqing reports to you!" He Wenqing said with a salute.
"Wen Qing, after this battle test, the custom shotshells you produced are of good quality and fully meet the tactical requirements! However, its weight is a bit too heavy and is not suitable for carrying a large number of people! What about increasing the number of ammunition carriers?
, will definitely make the team bloated!”
"So, I'll give you a task! Go to the factory's warehouse to pick up a heavy-duty shotgun launcher, and then try to reduce the weight of the custom-made shotshells! My requirements are to reduce the weight to about 800 grams, the range to 250 meters, and the dispersion
If the area is 15 meters and the number of projectiles with a diameter of 30 centimeters reaches 10, it will be enough.”
"You can experiment how you want to do this. There is a range here. The range is from 250 meters to 300 meters. The dispersion area is between 10 and 20 meters. The number of 30 cm diameter projectiles should not be less than 10. More is fine, but less
No! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Okay, I'll leave this task to you! You are responsible for developing this new custom-loaded shotgun! You can find the people who need it in the factory. Once this thing is built, it will be a big killer for our security team!"
"I understand, I won't let you down!" He Wenqing said.
"Okay! Keep busy!"
"yes!"
"Director Shi, we captured a lot of grenades in this battle! But there are not many special grenades for the grenades. Because we still need training, there are not enough!"
"I will give you two drawings today, one is the drawing of the Japanese special grenade, and the other is a new low-speed grenade, but it is direct-fired! You arrange for people to research the drawings and materials, and strive to complete them within two months.
The grenade grenade has been made and put into mass production, and the direct-fire grenade will be made for experiments in the first half of the year!" Hu Yizhou turned to Director Shi and said.
"Okay! I understand!" Director Shi replied.
"Let's go to the firearms workshop and have a look! Regarding the issue of shotguns, our arsenal has completely stopped production. We currently have 200 shotguns in stock, and the rest will be taken to Nan Weiquan in exchange for supplies!"
"In addition, our self-made machinery for processing shotgun barrels has also been prepared. I plan to hand over these to others!" Hu Yizhou planned to transfer all shotgun production to the Rabbits.
In fact, this is the best way to do it. There are not many people in the security team. After leaving enough shotguns, the equipment and other equipment will be given to the army rabbits and let them produce it themselves. The arsenal can also save some human resources and material consumption.
In addition, the shotgun rabbits can already be produced by themselves. With the addition of shotguns, the combat effectiveness of the army rabbits will always be improved.
In the firearms workshop, Hu Yizhou met the workers and students who were repairing the 38-year-old Gai and Hanyang-made weapons. These firearms were naturally the broken guns captured in the ambush battle. After they were repaired, they could be exchanged for the military rabbits!
"Wang Lindong!"
"arrive!"
"You performed well this time! After battlefield testing, the performance of the heavy machine gun is stable, and the failure rate is temporarily zero! Therefore, we can go into full production!"
"My request is to produce 50 general-purpose heavy machine guns and 100 light machine guns! I originally wanted to use heavy barrels for heavy machine guns, but we will have a batch of metal chromium delivered recently, so we will all use light barrels of the same specifications.
!The barrels are always chrome plated!”
Chapter completed!
