Three hundred and sixtieth chapters take the first step
It was already five days since Wang Ping returned to the arsenal.
There were more than 30 people when we went there, and nearly 2,500 people when we came back, and there were also quite a few horses and carts.
Explosives, equipment, copper ingots, half of the seized grain and 80% of the gold and silver were all brought back by Wang Ping.
As for the transport troops of nearly 2,500 people, except for the escort troops of one battalion of the Independent Brigade, the others were all absentees who had just been rescued.
Although the Independent Brigade lost a lot of people in this battle, the Imperial Army captured on the battlefield was enough to make up for the losses. If nearly two thousand absentees were forced into the Independent Brigade, the Independent Brigade would seriously exceed the standard and bring huge pressure. So, in
On Wang Ping's suggestion, all two thousand absentees were sent to the military region, and no one from the independent brigade was wanted.
Although Wang Ping is the director of the Military Region Arsenal and does not lead troops, he has a very bold idea in his mind.
There are now many troops in the military region, and the total number must be 50,000 or 60,000. But they are all distributed in every county within the military region, confronting the local Japanese and puppet troops.
Wherever the bullet is hit, the military region will fall into a dangerous situation that affects the whole body.
Because no matter where the military region dispatches troops to reinforce the troops under attack, the balance between the enemy and our forces in that place will be out of balance. If the Japanese and puppet troops there take the opportunity to launch an attack, the situation will become increasingly worse.
A very important reason why this situation occurs is that, regardless of the military region or the military subdivisions below, the troops are used to develop and expand the base area, and everyone does not have mobile troops that can be mobilized. In Wang Ping's view,
is very dangerous.
Wang Ping brought back so many absentees this time because he planned to put forward his opinions to the military region, hoping that the military region could use these absentees to form a mobile force. The scale does not need to be too large, just brigade level.
The next day, just as Wang Ping was about to rush to the military region headquarters, an excited cry reached his ears.
Huang Yu, the instructor responsible for protecting the safety of the arsenal, rushed over happily: "Director, good news, Professor Li's machine is ready, and it has successfully punched copper rods into bullets. The speed is very fast. As long as the copper rods are ready,
At least ten bullets can be punched out in one minute!"
"So fast!" Wang Ping was stunned at first, and then huge surprise quickly appeared on his face.
The idea of going to the military area disappeared immediately, and he decided without saying a word: "Let's go to the temporary base of the arsenal!"
Except for Professor Li, seven or eight students were surrounding a small machine and pointing.
Next to the machine, a student was holding a copper rod that had been beaten in advance and stretched it into the machine's feed port.
Amidst the constant roaring sound, golden bullet heads ran out from the discharge port.
Wang Ping stood aside and silently calculated, and found that twelve bullets were eliminated in one minute.
At this time, Professor Li next to him finally found Wang Ping who looked satisfied, and then walked over with a proud look on his face: "Director Wang, fortunately you have fulfilled your mission. I have modified a machine that integrates stamping and cutting, and use it to produce
Bullet, it couldn’t be more suitable.”
"The principle of the machine is very simple. The feeding port sends the copper rod to the bullet head mold that has been prepared in advance. Driven by the motor, it is stamped into a bullet head, and then the cutter cuts and separates the formed bullet head and copper rod!
"
"The principle is very simple, and the equipment is equipped very quickly. The only problem is the steel mold for stamping the bullet head. We polished more than a dozen scraps in a row before we came up with such a qualified product! It was very difficult, but fortunately, we solved the problem.
solved!"
"Professor Li, you have made a great contribution to our arsenal! Ten to twelve bullets per minute, 24 hours a day and night without rest is 15,000 bullets, and 450,000 bullets in a month
If we develop the primer for the bullet and find a way to build a bullet reloading machine, then our arsenal can produce 450,000 rounds of bullets a month, which is enough for a brigade to fight a medium-sized battle!" said an excited Wang.
Ping praised Li Xuebin without hesitation.
"Professor Li, I happen to be going to the military region. I will personally ask Commander Nie of the military region for your credit!"
Professor Zhou Wuzhou, who had just arrived at the arsenal, came over at some point and said with an unconvinced look on his face: "Director Wang, I know the primer of the bullet. Give me three times and I will get the primer for you!"
"Okay, I believe in you, Professor Zhou. Like Professor Li, as long as you come up with a bullet primer, I will personally ask you for credit from the military region. Also, if you have any needs, just ask instructor Huang and he will try his best to satisfy you.
!”
Not to be outdone, Li Xuebin asked: "Director, didn't you just say you wanted a bullet reloading machine? Now that we have developed the most basic cutting machine tools, drilling machines, milling machines, and grinders, processing some basic parts is no longer a problem. As long as we have
Give me all the equipment you brought back yesterday, and I promise to build a bullet reloading machine for you within five days. If the equipment is enough, we will build a bullet stamping machine to further increase the production of bullets!"
"Give it all to you!" Wang Ping replied without thinking.
Then he stared at the two people and asked: "If there are any other problems, I will solve them together!"
"I just want to go to the military area. If I can't solve the problem, I can directly ask Commander Nie to help me solve it!"
Li Xuebin did not hesitate and directly suggested: "Director Wang, there must be problems. The biggest problem is the power of the arsenal!"
"There are only two generators that provide power now. The electricity they can generate is limited, and they consume a lot of fuel, which is not cost-effective. When I was in Bald Ridge, the Japanese mainly used two steam engines to directly drive the equipment. Our equipment here is too
It is unrealistic to use steam engines to provide power entirely, and using fuel to generate electricity would consume too much, so I plan to use the captured steam engines and generators to assemble two sets of generators driven by steam engines!"
"In this case, only the coal-fired arsenal can be operated. However, there are too many things involved, and the steam engine will be very large after it is completed and can only be used for fixed purposes. Therefore, I hope you can provide the official site of the arsenal and then arrange an engineer
Cooperate with me to do the basics!"
"Okay, instructor, you can make arrangements!" Wang Ping agreed without thinking about it.
With expectations for the future of the arsenal, two thousand absentees, and a large amount of supplies and gold and silver, Wang Ping finally arrived at the gate of the headquarters after traveling for nearly five hours.
"Director Wang, I knew that you would bring good things to the military region as soon as you came to the military region! This time you brought a lot of supplies, and there are so many absentees! Tell me, what is going on!
"The chief of staff became happy when he saw Wang Ping's face, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"Reporting to the leader, Wang Ping fortunately fulfilled his duty and successfully rescued Professor Zhou. Now Professor Zhou has decided to join the arsenal, and his students have also temporarily stayed. I have arranged for our cadres to do their ideological work and strive to keep all of them.
.”
"As for these absenteeism and supplies, we got them all by hand while rescuing people!"
"Originally, it was supposed to be in the first division, but I thought that the military region had no other mobile troops except the guard regiment, so I discussed it with the independent journey brigade commander and brought them all back and sent them to the military region!"
"Mobile force!" Commander Nie was not a fool. He immediately understood the meaning behind Wang Ping's words. He frowned and stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"Yes, it's the mobile force!" After all, Wang Ping has advanced ideas that are decades ahead of this era. Now that he has seen the current loopholes in the military region, Wang Ping must make up for them. Without any hesitation or concealment, he directly expressed his thoughts
