Li Yunlong would say this because he was sure that Zhang Wanhe could send something at this critical moment. It would definitely be able to put out the fire, otherwise it would not be a waste of manpower and transportation.
As expected, the things were delivered by the director of the hardware factory of the first branch. What he delivered was a freshly made and still warm 50 cannon and more than a hundred rounds of artillery shells.
Li Yunlong was immediately happy when he saw this artillery piece. The arsenal finally got the chance to make this artillery piece.
In fact, there are still many problems with this 50-gun cannon that have not yet been resolved, and it is not yet ready for battlefield use or mass production.
For example, the problem of volume expansion after toughening... This problem may not seem big, but the shell will expand as much as the barrel will expand. As long as there is a slight difference between the two, it will lead to insufficient air tightness, affecting the range and even the shell plug.
Not entering the barrel.
The reason why they were rushed into the battlefield was also related to Su Xin.
Zhang Wanhe said too much when the battle started: "The independent regiment is going up. This time we are fighting the village of Xue Quxu. I have been to this place. There are wall stacks everywhere, which is very suitable for the Japanese grenade operations. The five of us
If the Ling Xiaopao is ready, it will come in handy right now..."
Zhang Wanhe originally said this to encourage everyone in the arsenal to realize the importance of the 50 small artillery and let everyone work hard.
Unexpectedly, Su Xin became a little anxious when she heard this: "Director, our 50 cannons are still far away!"
"Don't worry!" Zhang Wanhe comforted him: "Little Northeast has many evil ideas, and Li Yunlong is not someone to be trifled with. As long as they are around, the unlucky ones will be the devils!"
Su Xin said nothing.
But I was thinking: If you have a lot of ideas, you have to have conditions. The independent regiment has no equipment, no troops and no geographical advantages. Why should it fight with the Japanese?
After thinking about it, Su Xin thought that it might be a way to put the 50 small artillery into the battlefield urgently to suppress the enemy's grenades, or at least it might be helpful.
However, at this time, although the arsenal had trial-produced more than 500 rounds of artillery shells and 20 guns, this was only to verify the feasibility, and the issues of shell size and barrel caliber adaptation had not yet been resolved.
After thinking about it, Su Xin said: "Director, why don't we use cannonballs to test the barrels, one by one, and number the ones that fit, and let the troops use them first!"
Zhang Wanhe couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said: "This is reasonable. I think Li Yunlong is too picky at this time!"
Then Zhang Wanhe stood up in a flash and ordered: "Comrade Su Xin, I will teach you this. Use the cannonball at the barrel immediately, but be careful!"
"Yes!" Su Xin responded and went to make arrangements.
This is actually to reduce the requirements to a minimum so that all problems will become non-issues.
For example, the problem of the adaptation of cannonballs and barrels... We don't require it to fit, nor do we require standard sizes, but if you use the produced cannonballs to match the barrels by luck, you can always match them. As long as they match.
After numbering, the No. 1 gun will fire the No. 1 box of shells.
Another example is issues such as range and accuracy. As long as the shells can be fired and pointed in the direction of the Japanese, as many rounds as they can be fired, the shells can be used as firecrackers.
Even if the barrel is not toughened enough and the barrel may explode, it is within the tolerable range... The explosion may indeed hurt one's own people, but it is better than being beaten by the enemy, right?
Su Xin is indeed a serious and rigorous top student. She does not just come up and do it, but designs a complete matching plan.
Initially, the cannonballs and barrels were measured separately, registered and classified one by one, and after comparing the data, they tried to match as many cannonballs and barrels as possible one by one.
The whole factory was busy for most of the day, and the result was that the seven cannons were matched with 113 rounds of shells.
Zhang Wanhe immediately sent these numbered artillery pieces and artillery shells to the front line without saying a word.
Su Xin also asked several times for her to send these artillery pieces and shells. Her reason was simple: "Director, the soldiers on the front line don't know the serial numbers. If they get confused, there will be big problems. Others will send them."
I'm worried!"
How could Zhang Wanhe not know what this little girl was up to? After Xiao Dongbei returned to the army, he took her heart away. Now he must be worried that she would be in danger on the battlefield.
Zhang Wanhe was only happy about this. His red string was very successful. The future of the arsenal depends on whether this girl has the ability to keep Xiao Dongbei.
Therefore, Zhang Wanhe was very happy with Su Xin's request.
But then I thought about it, I was not going to another place, but to the front line where the fighting was fierce. It was not appropriate to go to a girl's house.
Zhang Wanhe didn't point it out, raised his head and said: "Comrade Su Xin, just stay here and continue to pick out artillery shells. How many rounds can you pick? You may not be able to use them later! Just leave the delivery of artillery shells to Comrade Wu Weimin.
He keeps nagging about going to the battlefield to fight the Japanese all day long, so this time it’s time for him to see the world!”
Hardware jumped up with joy on the spot, his face turned red with excitement, and he immediately assured Zhang Wanhe: "Director... thank you, director! I guarantee... I will complete the task!"
Su Xin on the side pouted and looked unhappy.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Wanhe persuaded her with sincere words: "Xiao Su, this task of picking up artillery shells is very important. You must not have any emotions! This is related to whether the independent regiment can win the battle, and whether it can win the war.
The issue of life safety of every soldier in the independent regiment..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Xin raised her head and looked at Zhang Wanhe in shock, and then nodded heavily: "Don't worry, director, I promise to complete the task and do everything possible to match more shells!"
"That's right!" Zhang Wanhe smiled and nodded.
But I am happy in my heart, you little girl, you are still young enough to fight with me!
When I say "the life safety of the soldiers of the independent regiment", can you still think of Xiaodongbei?
If you think about Xiaodongbei... you won't work hard for me?
Li Yunlong held Hardware's hand tightly and said movedly: "Thank you, comrades! You were really in a hurry. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get in, so you brought the cannon up."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered: "Go and call Laojiu, and bring these cannons and shells up immediately for reinforcements!"
"yes!"
Wu Jin took this opportunity to make a request: "Captain, there are some problems with these artillery shells. I have to go up with you to supervise and guide them!"
How could Li Yunlong object? He patted Hardware on the shoulder and said, "No problem, but please pay attention to safety!"
When Wu Jin left, Li Yunlong added: "Go up and find Xiao Dongbei first. He is familiar with the battlefield and has many ideas. Listen to his opinion!"
"Yes!" Wu Jin responded excitedly, he had this plan in mind!
