"I know you don't have the answer now. After you stay in our lathe department for a certain period of time and truly understand the lathe department, you may have some ideas."
"You are still young, so you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. You have enough time to learn and improve yourself." Looking at Liu Gen, Foreman Qi patted Liu Gen's shoulder, signaling Liu Gen to relax and not put too much pressure on himself.
pressure.
Although he had just met Liu Gen, from Liu Gen's words, deeds, and occasional frowns, Foreman Qi could tell that Liu Gen was under a lot of pressure. The reason was very simple. Some of Liu Gen's performances were related to the arsenal.
Most of the people are similar, and everyone has a lot of pressure on their shoulders.
If possible, everyone in the arsenal would like to work 24 hours a day to manufacture as many weapons and ammunition as possible to supply the frontline battles.
From the information fed back to the arsenal from the frontline troops, Engineer Qi knew that all the frontline troops needed to be supplemented with weapons and ammunition, especially ammunition. Except for a small number of troops, most of the troops were somewhat short of ammunition. Once the battle resumed,
If the gun is fired, then there will probably only be about three rounds of bullets that can be delivered to the soldiers.
It is precisely because of this that the arsenal is under such great pressure. Everyone knows the fighting situation on the front line. In the battles with the Japanese, there are more victories. However, after the victory, the Eighth Route Army troops cannot get sufficient supplements. From the Japanese
The seizures obtained cannot replenish consumption at all.
If this continues, without enough ammunition to replenish, the frontline soldiers may have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, and the casualties among the frontline soldiers will be much higher.
After winning the battle of Guanjianao, the Japanese were deterred to a certain extent, but their determination to destroy our Eighth Route Army remained. While Liu Gen was recuperating in the border hospital, the Japanese army invaded the base area in Licheng, southern Taihang, and the Japanese army in Xiangyuan moved from Xiying to Xiying.
They attacked in the direction of Panlong Town, attempting to sweep away Dongtian and the Zhuanbi area where the Eighth Route Army headquarters was located.
During this period, in order to cover the transfer of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division blocked the Japanese troops in the Damo Village area. The battle lasted for a day and night. After the Eighth Route Army headquarters was successfully transferred, the 386th Brigade withdrew from the battle. In this battle,
The 386th Brigade, which was already exhausted from experiencing a large number of battles, became more and more exhausted, and its combat effectiveness dropped again.
The headquarters also knew the situation of the 386th Brigade and ordered the 386th Brigade to rest and reorganize, absorb troops, and restore combat effectiveness.
The Japanese raids on the base areas made it impossible for the Eighth Route Army units that wanted to keep a low profile again. Facing the Japanese raids, the Eighth Route Army units could only continue to block them to prevent the Japanese troops from causing too much damage to the base areas.
Frequent battles have made the ammunition of the troops fighting the Japanese on the front line more and more scarce. After the arsenal in the rear was transferred, it was directly put into production. If you want to return to Huangyadong, you still need to wait for a while. The arsenal is temporarily
Stay in this relatively safe valley to avoid being discovered by the Japanese's mopping up troops.
A day passed. During this day, Liu Gen followed Foreman Qi and kept the relevant situation of the lathe department in his mind. There were not many workers in the lathe department, less than 300 people. This was also
Because the lathe department has too few equipment.
The lathe department has a lot of work, including making bullet casings, making artillery shell casings, etc. These things all need to be done by the lathe department. Among them, some of the machine tools in the lathe department are also used to make bayonets. Not every soldier fighting on the front line
There are bayonets in each hand.
Liu Gen had never encountered this kind of situation in the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment before. It was also because these two regiments belonged to the main regiment of the 386 Brigade. In addition, with Li Yunlong as the regiment leader who could do everything possible to obtain weapons, it naturally would not happen.
Missing bayonets.
In other troops, the rifles in the hands of the soldiers lack bayonets. This is a normal thing. Not all soldiers can get the 38 cap. In the hands of other troops, the soldiers have old sleeves in their hands.
, Sanba Gai and other various weapons. It is even said that many soldiers hold cold weapons such as swords and spears in their hands. It can be said that the Eighth Route Army units still have a huge demand for weapons.
The bayonet produced by the Ministry of Military Industry is a three-edged bayonet, which originated from the Type 81 horse rifle developed by Liu Guifu, a technician at the Huangyadong Arsenal! The Type 81 horse rifle is shorter than ordinary rifles, lighter, more flexible, and has a longer life. It adopts a simplified structure.
The method of parts is convenient for production and processing under simple equipment conditions.
At the same time, the front sight of the Type 81 horse rifle was praised by Mr. Peng as “the best front sight in the world”.
A three-edged bayonet is installed on the Bayi-type horse rifle. The bayonet is linked to the bottom of the barrel. When using it, you only need to press the button and flick it forward to push the bayonet to the front of the muzzle. The three-edged bayonet is
It has high strength and has a bleeding groove on it. It is easy to pull out during an assassination and will not be lost during a quick march. During the march, there will be no obvious reflection on the blade surface, which is conducive to concealment.
Of course, the three-sided bayonet also has shortcomings such as single function, but for soldiers, the three-sided bayonet is already quite good.
There is a professional production department for the Type 81 horse rifle in the Huangyadong Arsenal. However, due to the lack of supporting equipment and insufficient steel, the production efficiency of the Type 81 horse rifle is not very high. But even so
, for the various units of the Eighth Route Army, it is still a matter of competition to be able to get some August 1 horse rifles.
At night, Liu Gen stayed in the room and got to know his three roommates. However, because everyone was too tired, they fell asleep without much communication. Originally, Liu Gen wanted to sort out his gains today.
, but due to the influence of his roommates, he also felt a little more sleepy.
Liu Gen couldn't hold on for too long. He could only briefly recall what he had gained from following Foreman Qi today, and then fell asleep. He was injured, and he had to follow Foreman Qi for a whole day, which made him quite exhausted.
exhausted.
If Liu Gen's health is fine, then he can definitely stay with Foreman Qi. But there is no way. Liu Gen's injury will take some time to recover, but Liu Gen still wants to follow him.
At the side of Engineer Qi.
Just following Foreman Qi for a day, Liu Gen discovered that Foreman Qi was quite knowledgeable. He could learn a lot by following Foreman Qi. Foreman Qi said that Liu Gen should not be too big again.
pressure, but in this environment, how could he not be under pressure?
Foreman Qi and others did not tell Liu Gen about the situation on the front line, but Liu Gen realized from the tense working conditions in the arsenal that the situation on the front line might not be very good. When Liu Gen was walking around the arsenal with Mr. Liu today, Liu Gen
It was found that most of the workers in the arsenal were reloading bullets, which undoubtedly meant that the ammunition of the frontline units was somewhat tight.
At five o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen heard movement in the room. He opened his eyes and found that his three roommates were getting up. The work in the arsenal was relatively intense during this period. Even though the arsenal did not require the workers to work too long, everyone still
Spontaneously choose to do as much work as possible so that you can produce more ammunition so that the frontline soldiers can better kill the Japanese!
