So the deal between Wang Xuexin and Mao Xiong was concluded.
And because of Mao Xiong’s urgency for guns... Just like Wang Xuexin said, Mao Xiong hopes to equip this rifle before the next battle starts, or shortly after the start of the battle. Therefore, their time is very short, and it is likely that they will only have less than
Two months' time.
Wang Xuexin actually knew why Mao Xiong was so nervous.
In fact, Wang Xuexin may understand better than Mao Xiong... Mao Xiong only senses a possible crisis and only guesses that Hans will attack after the spring. But Wang Xuexin knows for sure and knows with certainty that Mao Xiong will next
The first battle was the "Battle of Stalingrad", a battle known as the "Meat Grinder".
In this battle, Hans invested 2 million men and suffered 1.5 million casualties, and Mao Xiong invested 3 million men and suffered 2 million casualties.
It can be said to be one of the most brutal battles in history.
In particular, most of this battle was fought back and forth in the ruins of Stalingrad.
In this kind of urban street fighting, the AK47 is undoubtedly the king. Even the famous "Bobosa" submachine gun in the hands of Mao Xiong cannot be compared.
The "Bobosha" submachine gun may have more ammunition than the AK47... The "Bobosha" submachine gun has a 35-round magazine and a 71-round drum. Both the magazine and the drum have more ammunition than the AK47.
But its weaknesses are also very obvious, which are the weaknesses of the submachine gun mentioned before: insufficient power and insufficient range.
Although urban street fighting often does not require high range, the theoretical range of "Poposa" is only 100 to 200 meters...the actual range is more than 100 meters. If it can still hit the target at 200 meters, it is all about using
The crazy output of the drum is purely a matter of luck with the number of bullets.
Therefore, in street fighting, we sometimes encounter situations like this: the enemy is in another building far away, or the city has been bombed into ruins and was originally covered by buildings and turned into an empty space. At this time, "Bobosha"
A range of more than one hundred meters is obviously not enough.
But the AK47 is different.
The shooting range is more than three hundred meters, which is basically the range that most people can achieve with their marksmanship... Whether it is buildings or ruins, there are few targets exceeding three hundred meters.
If so, even a bolt-action rifle would be difficult to hit.
Leave this kind of target to the sniper!
For most soldiers, the AK47 is an artifact that combines range, power and rate of fire.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that when the Battle of Stalingrad begins, Mao Xiong will definitely realize what a correct decision they made today, and will also thank Wang Xuexin for making this deal with them.
Wang Xuexin still pretended to be indifferent and said to Monrokov: "Comrade Monrokov, I think we can take our time on this matter. But for confidentiality reasons, so..."
Wang Xuexin spread his hands and said: "We can only hand the rifle to you after you help us set up a bullet production line and confirm that it can be produced. I hope you can understand!"
There is no excuse for coming to Monrokov, because it is common sense.
Establishing a production line is different from that of a rifle... There are actually no complicated technical issues in producing a rifle. Except for the rifling of the barrel, everything else is part design.
Once Wang Xuexin hands the rifle to Mao Xiong, there is no need to complete the transaction, Mao Xiong can already imitate it.
There are technical difficulties in establishing a bullet production line.
This is different from what most people think... Many people think that guns have so many parts and bullets are just that, so producing guns must be more difficult than producing bullets.
This is not the case.
The difficulty in producing bullets is mainly concentrated on the shell.
The cartridge case needs to be gradually formed from a whole piece of steel ingot after several stampings, so there are no seams, and the accuracy is very high... As long as the cartridge case and warhead are slightly larger, they will be easily jammed in combat.
There is also the production of gunpowder and so on.
This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army has been collecting bullet casings to make "reloaded bullets".
Until modern times, many countries have been able to produce rifles but cannot produce bullets. For example, Ah San, who has a heart as high as the sky but a life as thin as paper... Ah San is a very confident country. It cannot even produce bullets domestically and relies on imports. But he wants to become the overlord of Southeast Asia.
Wang Xuexin had even thought about whether the bullet production of Yingjiang could be changed to the bullet production line of assault rifles, because the two bullets are of the same caliber.
However, when I think about it more carefully, I feel that it is better not to do such a stupid thing... The precision of bullet machine tools is no joke. The allowable range of bullet error in modern my country is 0.01 mm.
This is simply invisible to the naked eye and cannot even be measured. If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to produce intermediate-power bullets, but the bullet production line provided by Yingjiang will also be destroyed.
The higher the technical difficulty requirement, the easier it is to cheat. For example, if Mao Xiong was given an unqualified production line, would Wang Xuexin be able to tell that?
The only way to verify this is that this line of production actually produces bullets, and then the Eighth Route Army puts these bullets into the troops for target practice. Only when there are no problems can the transaction be advanced to the next step.
Come to Monrokov and you will know that Wang Xuexin cannot be deceived in this regard.
In fact, Mao Xiong didn't intend to lie. Even if the general counsel said that they must support the Eighth Route Army regardless of immediate interests or long-term interests.
Lai Menluokov replied: "Don't worry, comrade leader! We will set up a bullet production line for you as soon as possible!"
Menlokov didn't lie when he came to Mao Xiong, who immediately shipped the bullet production line and technical personnel to China.
Transportation is relatively easy.
The reason is that at this time, Mao Xiong had established a firm foothold after winning the Moscow Defense War, and the factory moved to Siberia had also begun production. Therefore, the materials were transported from Siberia to the front line along the railway line, and when they returned, they were basically empty.
At this time, a bullet production line located in Moscow was transported to Siberia and then transferred to Mongolia and then south to China. Instead, it was necessary to seize the gap in transportation capacity.
In addition, the Supreme Deputy Commander gave the production line the highest priority, so the entire production line was shipped to China two weeks later and settled in a village called Xinheba.
Wang Xuexin did not pursue this matter personally, he handed it over to Zhang Zongping.
Zhang Zongping is a staff officer from the headquarters and has a lot of human resources. He knows how to arrange it to get the bullet production line on track and produce bullets as soon as possible.
The reason why the factory is located in Xinheba is mainly because it is close to the south, that is, in the direction of Yuncheng.
There's no way...making bullets requires copper, and copper mines are only found near Zhongtiao Mountain.
It is easier to transport bullets than ore, so the factory site can only be located near the mine.
