Chapter nine hundred and eighty seventh layout of the arsenal
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, from now on until I go to Yan'an, I will be responsible for coordinating all the military and political affairs of the new regiment and division... Political Commissar, you are responsible for the arsenal, the logistics and ideological work of all troops, and Chief of Staff, you are responsible for the expansion and training of the troops. We mutually cooperate with each other.
Cooperate and strive to get these things on track within ten days. In this case, I can go to Yan'an with confidence!" After both of them had no doubts, Wang Ping made a decisive decision.
"Okay..." Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong replied without any hesitation.
Instead, Huang Yuanqiang showed a confused expression on his face: "Captain, I am responsible for the logistics and ideological work of the troops. There is no problem!"
"But I know nothing about managing an arsenal!"
"I'll teach you!" Wang Ping replied.
"As for the professional matters, the technicians and engineers in the arsenal will take care of it, just leave it to them. What we need to do is to protect the safety of the arsenal, be responsible for the logistics of the arsenal, find and provide raw materials for them, and give them some production direction.
guide!"
"We brought back three bullet production lines. The production capacity of each production line is 15,000 rounds of bullets. There are sufficient raw materials. If we work overtime, the output can be increased to 25,000 rounds. However, I have a way to increase the ammunition output of each production line.
To the level of 30,000 to 35,000 rounds!”
"How is that possible?" Although Huang Yuanqiang is not in the military industry, he still knows some common sense.
In the original Taiyuan Arsenal and now the Northwest Arsenal, so many technicians and engineers were unable to increase the output of the bullet production line. But Wang Ping, a layman, could actually do it. No one believed it when he told him.
Wang Ping did not refute and explained directly: "Nothing is impossible. I did it when I was in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region~"
"A bullet consists of three parts: bullet case, bullet head, and charge. The most difficult part to produce is the bullet case. A very important reason why the speed of the bullet production line cannot be increased in one day is that the output of bullet cases cannot be increased!"
"Captain, do you have a way to increase the production speed of bullet casings!" Seeing that Wang Ping's words were reasonable, Huang Yuanqiang became hot and stared at Wang Ping and asked!
"No way..." Wang Ping shook his head and replied.
As soon as Huang Yuanqiang showed a disappointed expression, Wang Ping followed up and said: "We don't need to increase the production speed of bullet casings at all...because we already have bullet casings!"
Huang Yuanqiang suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "Reload bullets..."
"Captain, you mean to add the bullet casings we picked up from the battlefield to increase the speed of the bullets and charges and increase the output... Is this possible?"
"It's definitely possible. The arsenal in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is now using this method to produce bullets. The reason why the original Taiyuan Arsenal and the current Yibei Arsenal don't do this is not because they didn't think of this method, but because they don't care.
Use reloaded bullets!”
"It is true that the yield rate of reloaded bullets is a little lower than that of new bullets. However, as long as we ensure that the bullet casings sent to the production line are intact and clean, the bullets produced will not be worse than new bullets at all. One hundred
There are at most two bullets in the round that can’t be fired!”
"Ninety-eight percent yield, Captain, this yield is already very high!"
"We also reloaded bullets when we were in Jinggangshan. At that time, at least one of the ten reloaded bullets failed to fire, but we still used them!"
"We can definitely guarantee the quality of the bullet casings. Now that there are more and more disabled soldiers in the army, it is difficult for us to arrange them. Now that we have an arsenal, we can send them to the arsenal to clean up the bullet casings collected from the battlefield!"
"They are all soldiers, and they understand the importance of bullets to a soldier better than ordinary people. With them checking and producing, there will definitely be no problems!"
Wang Ping felt admiration for Huang Yuanqiang again.
He is worthy of being an old Red Army and political worker who has gone to college. Not only does his brain work very fast, he also accepts new things very quickly. He can also think about problems with three birds with one stone and a broad mind.
Very satisfied with the answer: "This is a good idea, I support it~"
"There are a total of three bullet production lines, two of which produce rifle bullets, one for Type 38 rifle bullets, and one for Mauser rifle bullets. They are all the same as light machine gun bullets. You only need to produce one type!"
"The third bullet production line produces heavy machine gun and submachine gun bullets. The two types of ammunition are produced in rotation, every ten days!"
"I agree!" the political commissar said.
"The bullets of Jin-made submachine guns are common to most of the pistols we equip. In this way, the pistols and submachine guns equipped by the troops do not have to worry about running out of bullets without replenishing them!"
"At that time, the soldiers who sorted the bullet casings were divided into four groups. They selected Type 38 rifle bullets, Mauser rifle bullets, heavy machine gun bullets, and submachine gun bullets, cleaned them, and then went directly to the production line to improve the bullets and charges.
speed, increase production!”
"Yes, let's do it this way... In addition, the two most important raw materials for producing bullets are gunpowder and copper. We have both of these in our base area. Political Commissar, you have to open a copper factory, a copper mine, and a gunpowder factory together!"
"In addition, the arsenal must build a separate weapons assembly workshop!"
"During the transaction, I asked the war zone to add some of the simplest equipment for repairing weapons. With these equipment, the broken guns we have been hoarding can be turned into good guns. All the broken guns can be dismantled into parts and reassembled.
It's a new gun...some parts that are not particularly damaged can be repaired with those equipment!"
"According to my experience in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, as long as the weapons are not particularly badly damaged, two good guns can be assembled from three bad guns. At least two bad guns can be assembled, and one bad gun can be assembled from three bad guns.
Nice gun!)”
"Okay...leave this to me..." Huang Yuanqiang replied excitedly.
Zhong Chenggong also showed excitement on his face.
He hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Commander, political commissar! In this way, the bad weapons stocked in our warehouse can't be used to assemble at least a thousand good guns!"
"Definitely more than that!" the political commissar replied, shaking his head.
He knew the wealth of the New Regiment best and hesitated before answering: "The warehouse not only has a large number of rifles that were damaged on the battlefield, but also a large number of light machine guns and heavy machine guns. According to the assembly ratio just mentioned by the regiment leader, at least it can be equipped with
Come out, 1,500 rifles and 30 to 40 light machine guns!"
"In this case, the equipment for the three main battalions will be available!" Zhong Chenggong replied excitedly.
Wang Ping said: "Not only our new regiment, but also several other military divisions in the military region must have a large number of damaged equipment. Let them all be sent over. According to the degree of damage to the weapons, there will be two broken guns or three broken guns."
The ratio of the gun to a good gun is exchanged with them, and the extra good guns assembled will be considered as the income of our arsenal..."
"There are still bullet casings. We can contact the military region and ask the military region to send a telegram to all the troops below. As long as the bullet casings are sent over, there will be bullets that can be replaced. Three bullet casings can be exchanged for one bullet."
"After all, the extra bullet casings count as the operating cost of the arsenal. After all, arsenals, gunpowder factories, mines, and copper factories require a lot of investment every day. If there is no income, the arsenal is a bottomless pit. Even if we add a new group
I can’t survive even if my family’s fortune is completely emptied!”
I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs run away. Only a family as big as the Jinsui Army can maintain a Taiyuan arsenal. With a family as small as the New Regiment, it is definitely impossible to keep these ammunition production lines operating at full capacity.
Huang Yuanqiang hesitated and asked: "Captain, what about the ammunition we produced ourselves?"
"Of course it will be handed over to the military region for unified distribution, but the production costs must be allocated by the military region..." Wang Ping replied.
