Sixty-six villagers came one after another, and thousands of them returned throughout the afternoon! Their houses were safe and sound, and many soldiers were seen living in tents. They had done nothing wrong, and people were relieved and relieved.
It was late at night, and Yang Mingzhi had stayed in the hospital until eight o'clock in the evening. The two girls had arranged to rest, and he also went outside to relax for a while with a cigarette in his mouth.
The quiet night was disturbed by some noise, which was the roar of machinery in the arsenal.
Dark night is an important moment for arsenal production, as night can cover up the black smoke from the chimney. In the smelting workshop, the blast furnace needs charcoal to burn. In the current shortage of high-quality coking coal, charcoal with a slightly lower calorific value can still cope with it.
"You are still in production now. I really should pay you a visit tomorrow. Liguschkov, I have to ask you some questions." Yang Mingzhi stretched his body beautifully and looked in the direction of the arsenal. Those workshops are among the few
A few have electricity, and the lighting comes from a small motor, whose energy only supplies a few incandescent lamps.
This night, Yang Mingzhi no longer stayed in the hospital overnight. After saying goodbye to Natasha and her brother, he took his wife home.
"Honey, boil a kettle of hot water, I have to wipe myself." Yang Mingzhi said casually after entering the door.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
While she was busy, Yang Mingzhi sat at the desk, lit the oil lamp, took out a pen and paper, and made a plan for tomorrow...
After a while, Yang Tao returned with an iron kettle and a basin of well water, mixing the two into a basin of warm water.
"I really should take a shower, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance." Having finished writing, he put down the pen and paper and picked up the towel.
After long-term physical training, arduous military operations, and due to attention to food, Yang Mingzhi's body fat decreased a lot, but his muscles became more enlarged. He was originally a tall man, but when he took off his coat, he looked like a strong man with the back of a tiger and the waist of a wasp.
.
Even at that time, this figure was very tempting to many young girls. It not only represented health, but also a strong sense of security.
Yang Tao looked at it infatuatedly and said slowly: "Brother, turn your back and it won't be easy to wipe your back. Leave it to me."
"All right."
Yang Mingzhi sat upright on the wooden stool, and his wife wiped it gently. It felt very comfortable. "Logically, I should go take a bath in the wooden basin, but it turns out that military affairs are always busy. I am not busy today. I care about you and Natasha."
I spent a whole day in the hospital. I have something to do tomorrow and I can’t relax for three whole days.”
"Well, so I'm here to serve you." After saying this, Yang Tao increased his intensity.
"Harder! I'm so happy! What's going on? This linen must be full of mud."
"That's right!" Yang Tao burst into laughter, "You! You're like falling into the mud! You should really jump into the water and wash yourself off."
"Speaking of bathing, I do know a place to go. There is a hot spring near the sulfur mine in the south. Maybe it can be transformed into a bathhouse." Yang Mingzhi's delusion was aroused again, "You girls should also go there to feel comfortable, especially Na
Tasha, the hot springs will help her bruises heal faster."
"Actually, you want to take us both with you!" Yang Tao burst into laughter, "She and I are both yours, and we listen to you. But I don't want this matter to become known to everyone.
Since hot springs are good for the wounded, we can arrange for those from the hospital to go there."
Yang Mingzhi turned his head fiercely and saw that his wife's face was flushed. It was obvious what she was thinking in her little head. "That's fine. We can talk about this later. I have to go to the arsenal tomorrow to take my
Designers, let's talk to Liguschkov. Let's put off taking the mandarin duck bath with you for now."
…
The new day started with Chen Hao. Today was the second day of vacation. The soldiers who were used to getting up early got up. It was really unaccustomed to not run and exercise so early in the morning. After eating in the morning, quite a few people returned to their camps.
, either take a nap or get together to play cards and chat.
Yang Mingzhi first went to the division headquarters to report, and then he randomly asked a staff officer and said: "When the division commander comes, tell him that I have been here. If you want to find me, please come to the arsenal. Liguschkov and I will
We have something important to discuss."
He turned around and left, leading the group of people from the design department straight to the factory.
Due to the evacuation, the blast furnace workshop was temporarily suspended and all steam-powered machine tools stopped operating. The enemy's nearest airport was bombed, but the possibility of air strikes could not be completely ruled out. For safety reasons, all heavy weapons and artillery shells were stopped, leaving only
The next bullet reassembly workshop is working overtime.
Workers were rushing back and forth nervously. A large number of sacks were piled up in the open space outside the building. Some bevels on the bags caused the internal objects to fall out. They were red copper bullet casings!
"This time the troops consumed too much ammunition, and the reloading of bullets was enough to keep them busy for a while! What a pity." Yang Mingzhi sighed in a cryptic manner.
"Sir, what are you sighing for?" one of the attendants asked.
"What else can we sigh about? The arsenal is under too much pressure! Just for bullet reloading, we can collect millions of bullet casings, most of which can be reused. With the current manpower of the arsenal, I am very worried."
Yang Mingzhi waited outside and talked for a while. Liguschkov happened to pass by with his notebook under his arm, and the two met.
He didn't expect that the chief would suddenly arrive at this time. Something must have happened when he came!
Standing in front of Yang Mingzhi, the man slowly asked: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, is it about the inventory of ammunition? If so, I can take you to the warehouse to have a look."
Yang Mingzhi chuckled: "Actually, I just want to talk to you about some weapons. No, I even brought people from the design bureau. But the consumption of ammunition is indeed a big problem. I heard that the inventory of ammunition is
The battle has been very depleted, so you can lead the way and see the situation in the warehouse, so I have a good idea."
"Then come with me."
For safety reasons, the arms warehouse in Blacksmith Village is some distance from the arsenal. For transportation convenience, a rail car route was also built here. It is just a dense pine pole covered with iron sheets as a track, and a small mining truck drives on it, and its power system
It's very simple, just a horse.
Yang Mingzhi happened to see the car driving and there were several sacks piled on it.
Seeing that the commander was paying attention to this, Liguschkov immediately explained: "This car is loaded with the results of the workers' labor at night, and they are all reloaded bullets."
After counting, there were five large sacks in the car. Yang Mingzhi led everyone up to take a closer look. One sack was untied, and he saw that there were all large grains of rifle bullets. He took a look at the few and saw that
They are all blunt-nosed, and their slender bodies prove that they are derived from Mauser rifles.
Liguschkov hurriedly said: "Deputy Commander, I know that pointed bullets have the best flight effect, but due to technical limitations, I can only produce this type of round-nose bullets. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for soldiers to use these ammunition of worrying quality.
There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Throwing a handful of bullets back, Yang Mingzhi turned his head and looked into the middle-aged man's eyes. "In long-distance combat, pointed bullets have the highest accuracy, heavy pointed bullets have the strongest end kinetic energy, and round-nose bullets have poor long-range accuracy.
, the only advantage is that after hitting the enemy, it will roll violently inside the body, so there is no need to worry about passing through it. Furthermore, our landform here is full of forests, and troops often fight at close range, so the disadvantage of poor accuracy will be greatly reduced.
"
Liguschkov also complained about the bullets he produced. There was really no way to reload the ancient round-nose bullets. Now he is in a much better mood, "What the commander said makes sense. There are pros and cons to everything."
"Of course, this is called materialist dialectics. Looking at this issue from a dialectical perspective, we should no longer be pessimistic. Let's continue to lead the way, let's go to the warehouse." (To be continued.) 8
