This is a situation that Yang Mingzhi did not expect!
"What? You just produced five flying fishes for me? Where's your promise?! The promise of two flying fishes a day?!"
"But! Commander! Because of the rain, the propellant we prepared got damp!"
"Affected by damp? Didn't the storage work in the warehouse be done well?"
"Yes! The warehouse keeper neglected his duty and failed to protect himself in rainy weather. I have asked those people to..."
"Don't shirk responsibility, now tell us the specific situation!" Yang Mingzhi scolded.
"Yes! Not only the medicine is affected by moisture, but the fuel is also affected by moisture! So much so that the production of molten steel has been reduced in the past few days! I thought... I thought you understood."
Yang Mingzhi once got furious in Liguschkov's office. After some explanations from this man, it turned out that he was also responsible for the oversight.
He lowered his head and muttered to himself depressedly: "It's really great. Before the war, my preparations were so bad! If the German army attacks in an all-round way, wouldn't we be finished?"
Liguschkov looked like he had done something wrong. He respectfully accompanied the commander and apologized: "I didn't do what the commander taught me well!"
"Of course you didn't do it well!" Yang Mingzhi suddenly raised his head and asked: "You just participated in the meeting, why didn't you explain the truth? You didn't even say a word! I thought you were ready."
"I'm sorry, Commander! Considering the situation, I'm afraid of my words..."
"Alas! It's too late to say anything now!" Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and sighed: "With just five ruins, we can't achieve much results! So, we can only use some crazy methods!"
Yang Mingzhi stopped chatting with Liguschkov in the office, and the two went directly to the warehouse where the new rockets were stored.
On April 25, the arsenal built 30 Catfish rockets. Before the research and development of the "Flying Fish" was completed, the arsenal had two full weeks to expand its armaments. There was only a short burst of rain these days, and the rest of the time it was windy.
As the sun shines, the impact of climate on weapons production tends to be zero.
In order to alleviate the commander's disappointment, Liguschkov first took him to a warehouse of independently installed Catfish rockets.
"Comrade Commander, these are all catfish. We have produced a total of 55 bombs. 40 of them are with ordinary charges and 15 are with cloud explosives."
This is a semi-underground warehouse, surrounded by cement. The warehouse is very neatly built, and it is perfect for storing pillar-like rocket launchers. However, these rockets are still missing one part - the collision fuse.
This will be installed unexpectedly before going into combat.
Yang Mingzhi's anxious heart calmed down a lot: "At least these rockets can allow the soldiers to easily defeat Slavdzic."
After leaving this semi-crypto warehouse, he entered another warehouse with a slope. The workers hung two kerosene lamps on the wooden wall, and several objects covered with gray linen appeared in front of him.
The five "flying fish" were covered with cloth, and their wings were really obvious. When the worker lifted up the linen, he saw the true appearance of the neatly arranged rockets.
"Very good!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands happily, "At least I still have five more!"
"No! Commander! The arsenal is still producing at full capacity today, I...I promise!"
"oh?"
"I promise, before the sun goes down tomorrow, I will produce five more for you!"
"Is this feasible?" Yang Mingzhi asked, "Don't make it shoddy for me just to keep up with the schedule!"
"I guarantee it with my life!"
Seeing him standing at attention, Yang Mingzhi believed it. Thinking carefully, the arsenal may have prefabricated some materials. For example, the fairing, the most critical part of the rocket, is like a body, and then the "viscera" is stuffed in one by one.
In this "body", the rocket launcher is finally completed.
Let's talk about these five "Flying Fish". The warheads of these five "Flying Fish" are loaded with twenty kilograms of Amato explosives. This explosive is also the most cost-effective explosive that the Guerrilla Republic can produce. The full power of twenty kilograms of Amato is about two times.
Fifteen kilograms of TNT.
As far as rocket launchers are concerned, the power of such a charge is still too small. In this era, aerial bombs can easily weigh 250 kilograms or even one ton. Especially the "heavy bombs" with a TNT charge
It can weigh half a ton and can be exploded so accurately that an aircraft carrier can be killed with one shot!
In such comparison, "Flying Fish" is really a small "Flying Fish."
This was not what Yang Mingzhi wanted. He immediately said: "Liguschkov, how much high-energy fuel do we still have?"
"Ah? You mean those disinfectants? They haven't been used yet because the cylinders are too thick. We..."
"No! I mean the chemistry lab inventory!"
"This... is less than twenty kilograms."
"So few?!" Yang Mingzhi pointed to these rockets without hesitation: "Then we will use Amato to bring over all the supplies for general ammunition and supply them here on a limited basis. After these five rockets have been loaded, we
Just use it to fight! Make the other five as soon as you claimed! Catfish rocket launcher, install the fuse for me immediately. You must make these preparations before the sun sets tomorrow! If you are not prepared well, you will have a huge responsibility for the action force, and the result will be
you know!"
This was a fatal order. Sweat dripped from Liguschkov's forehead. He stood upright and said, "Promise to complete the task! If I fail to complete it, I will commit suicide to apologize!"
Yang Mingzhi glanced at him: "As long as you have this awareness. Prepare now, RPG warheads, grenades, and recoilless artillery shells..."
The arsenal was a bustling scene, and Yang Mingzhi left here quite satisfied. To be honest, the model of the arsenal was a bit like that of a Japanese arsenal, with scattered small workshops performing primary processing, and the products being sent to the core factory area of the arsenal for further processing.
Today, there are more than 3,000 workers working in the arsenal. This huge group of workers is the guarantee of the military's combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, there is a serious shortage of machine tools and technical talents, and the relatively high-end weapons production capacity has always been unsatisfactory.
Since the arsenal could not produce so many "flying fish", it could only use its brains on charges. Using cloud bombs to attack densely populated cities was called an act against humanity by later generations. However, this was World War II. Ever since Yang Mingzhi saw that
The bloody and cruel "killing factory" has added a lot of inner beastliness. Of course he wants to use advanced weapons. Since the temporary high-energy fuel stock is too small (the chemical laboratory is mainly preparing Amato), he can make do with ordinary explosives.
Compared with the weapons production in the arsenal, Kavitsky's task is much simpler.
There are a large number of women in the blacksmith village. It is impossible to expect these people to fight, but almost all of them have tailoring experience. Due to national customs, they all like to braid hair, regardless of age. This skill is used in braiding ropes, and they are like a fish in water.
Kavitsky immediately ordered all the textile workshops in the village to stop working, and all workers devoted themselves to the braiding of the "ferrying rope".
How many people were involved in this work? Over a thousand!
A nylon rope is slender, with more than a dozen twisted into one, and its strength exceeds that of steel wire! Many women have never seen this kind of material. They marvel at the smoothness and flexibility of nylon, and instinctively think of braiding these nearly ten meters long thin wires.
Turned into a blanket, it is definitely an extremely comfortable experience.
