Rise from the sword

Chapter 447 About the big business of tanks!
mid-June.

In the mountainous area behind Zhao Jiayu, Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory is located.

Compared with when it was just established, the machinery factory has changed a lot at this time.

The road at the exit has been widened, from a place where only one carriage could pass, to now it can pass two large jeeps or a ten-wheel heavy truck at the same time.

Along the hidden canyon, a series of cave dwellings were excavated, and a whole row of firebrick houses were built, some of which were dormitories, factories, warehouses, canteens and even simple laboratories and so on.

A batch of newly arrived reinforced concrete was also transferred to widen and strengthen the main factory building in the canyon cave.

Including workers, students, and technicians sent by the Anti-Japanese University, the total number of people exceeds 2000.The soldiers in charge of the guards have also increased to more than 200 people in a reinforced company, and more than twenty 20 and 40 anti-aircraft guns have been deployed on the surrounding high ground to guard the sky.

Nowadays.

Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng, Zhang Dabiao, Xing Guozhi, etc., a large number of members of the independent regiment gathered in the machinery factory. Ding Wei and Kong Jie were there, and even Zhang Wanhe rushed over specially.

Because today, for Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory, is a day worth celebrating.

"Captain."

Sun Desheng, the director of the machinery factory with a short cut head, led the crowd into the factory building.

The commander of the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment, after seeing the charm of machinery, stepped down as battalion commander and plunged into the machinery factory, determined to produce a tank for the troops.

The factory building in the wide canyon cave has been expanded several times than before, and it has been divided into several huge factory buildings. There are nearly a hundred machines in operation, and the sound of metal collisions can be heard endlessly. There is also a light rail track on the ground. .

Looking into the distance, you can still see two boilers that look like locomotives burning, and the smoke is discharged into the distance through long pipes.

"As of today."

"Our Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory has officially started production."

Sun Desheng's tone was cheerful:

"Today, the machinery factory has three high-power steam engines transformed from trains, and four generators provided by Boss Chen, with a maximum power generation capacity of [-] kWh."

"There is a self-made [-]-ton old-fashioned electric arc furnace, and a [-]-ton electric arc furnace that has reached the world's top level."

"Although the [-]-ton electric arc furnace has been taught by the master, our own technicians have mastered all the technologies, but we cannot produce important components such as electronic equipment, refractory materials, and electrode materials. The main reason is that the materials produced are not good enough. Guan, most of them can only be provided by Boss Chen, we only produced the frame and other unimportant parts ourselves, and then assembled them.”

"If there is enough scrap steel, our current production capacity is [-] tons of high-quality steel per day."

"It is estimated that by the beginning of next year, the expansion of the new plant will be completed, two new [-]-ton electric furnaces will be put into production, and skilled workers will be trained to reach a daily production capacity of [-] tons."

"Fifteen tons a day."

Hearing this number, Zhang Wanhe was deeply amazed.

Fifteen tons of steel per day is really a lot. A Type [-] horse rifle only consumes less than eight kilograms of steel, and [-] tons can produce nearly [-] pieces. Moreover, with the electric furnace, waste materials can be recycled Recycle.

If it reaches 2 tons per day, it will be more than [-] tons per year. What's more, the technology here is really the best in the world, as Director Sun said, and can produce high-quality steel.

It is a pity that the army cannot get so much scrap steel.

I am afraid that twenty tons of raw materials per day will not be enough.

Zhang Wanhe continued:

"The machinery factory has three small steel rolling machines, four steel pipe extrusion machines, five small forging presses, one medium forging press, three stamping machine tools, and a large number of basic machine tools such as lathes, planers, and boring machines. Provided by the boss."

"It can produce steel plates with a width of no more than two meters, a steel plate with a thickness of no more than ten centimeters, and seamless steel pipes with a diameter between ten and two hundred millimeters. In theory, all parts of light and heavy machine guns and mortars can be manufactured, but there is still a long way to go. It will take a while to train the workers."

"Currently, we are doing our best to produce the shovels and shovels needed by the construction brigade. There are stamping machines, which are much faster than before, and can produce [-] shovels per day."

At this time, a furnace of molten steel was released from a [-]-ton electric arc furnace, and was transported to the next production step by a molten steel transport rail car. Everyone, including Li Yunlong, looked at the scene in front of them, and a power that seemed to be burning came from the bottom of their hearts. surging out.

Everyone feels the power of the modern steel industry.

"We finally have a real machine shop."

Zhang Wanhe sighed with emotion.

Although the scale of Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory is small, with an output of only [-] tons per day, it would be a small town-level machinery city in foreign countries, but the sparrow is small and complete.

From scrap steel raw materials to final finished products, the technology is well-equipped and the steel produced is of high quality. There are various basic machine tools and various metal processing products can be manufactured.The technical materials provided by those top mechanical masters and that boss Chen are also very profound. Compared with large foreign machinery factories, the difference is only in scale.

As long as the troops strongly support it, after more than ten years of development, it will definitely become a world-class machinery factory with a top scale and a large factory that can produce heavy artillery.

In contrast, although the arsenal in his logistics department is large in scale, it is essentially just a large workshop, and its technical level is far inferior to that of this place.

Finally, Sun Desheng sighed:

"The only problem is that there is a serious shortage of technical personnel."

"Skilled workers and technical engineers are seriously lacking. Although technical training courses have been organized and the four master masters have personally taught them, so far, there are only more than 300 workers who can operate machine tools."

"Electric furnace steelmaking has very high requirements for the processing and selection of raw materials. Every steel that is put into the electric furnace must be processed and selected. There are also many operations with high technical requirements in the production process. The electric furnace must always be watched by a master. Others There are no technical engineers who can stand alone in the local area, and the operation of our machinery factory depends on those four masters, otherwise the quality of steel will drop a lot."

After speaking, Sun Desheng let out another long sigh.

The machinery factory now has nearly a hundred young students sent from the border area. Some of them are even graduates from top foreign universities, and some even worked in large foreign machinery factories. These people are very motivated to study. Apart from eating, they either Just get into the factory and can't come out, or just hold the book and study hard.

But the time is too short, the masters are busy, and many technical problems need to be dealt with by them. There is not much time to lead apprentices, and it is also a key core technology. It is not so easy to master it independently, and it takes at least one year. .

The shortage of talents has greatly affected the production efficiency of machinery factories.

"Take your time, don't rush."

Li Yunlong exhaled loudly.

After catching the last three spies, when Brother Chen transported the remaining 23 ten-wheel trucks for him, he also conveniently supported a large number of machinery and equipment for the machinery factory. Staff, so give more price tag.

This batch of machinery and equipment made Li Yunlong deeply understand why there is such a heavy word in the heavy industry.

Two generators, dozens of large and small machine tools, and the main parts of the electric arc furnace, including maintenance and backup parts, all weighed more than [-] tons.If all the equipment of the entire Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory is added up, the total tonnage will directly exceed [-].

And this is just a machinery factory at the level of a small foreign county in foreign countries.

"Yes, things take their time, we have plenty of time."

Ding Wei also had the same tone.

"I'll go back and find a way for you. There should be corresponding talents who have returned from abroad in the border area."

Zhang Wanhe narrowed his eyes.

The master can't leave the independent group. I don't know the reason, and the other party doesn't explain it, but these four people alone are comparable to a foreign engineer team. The theory and practical ability are top-notch super talents. They should not guard the production of equipment, but should To cultivate talents, teach technology, guide young people to grow, and only come out when necessary to solve technical difficulties, or lead technical research.

After everyone visited it, they left with some reluctance, and only Zhang Wanhe stayed.

He and Sun Desheng have a big plan to cooperate in the production of improved Czech machine guns.

The Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory produces the barrel assembly, the main body of the gun, the return spring lever, and the gas piston, four important parts with high technical requirements. The Taihang Mountain Arsenal produces other parts such as the bolt, connecting rod, trigger, and butt. Assembled in the headquarters armory.

"If these four parts are fully produced, starting next month, we can produce [-] sets per month."

The two immediately began to discuss production details.

According to the instructions of the master, this kind of production has the highest efficiency, but it needs to meet standardized production and has extremely high requirements for management.

······
a few days later.

Three or five hundred regiments are stationed.

"Li Yunlong is collecting scrap metal? And unlimited?"

Hearing the news from the deputy official's meritorious service report, Chu Yunfei's tone was strange.

"Correct."

Fang Ligong said:
"As long as it is metal materials, steel, aluminum, copper, and copper, the other party will buy them, and pay directly with food stamps, and the bids are quite high. Many businessmen from other places come to do this business."

"Food stamps."

Chu Yunfei tapped his fingers on the table.

The food stamps of the independent group can be exchanged for high-quality rice, cornmeal, white flour and other fine grains, boxed cigarettes, and even chicken, duck, pork, etc., as well as various cotton clothes in the independent group base.

Because the independent group exchanged them with clear codes, they were never short of money, and the food stamps were well-made, easy to distinguish between true and false, and could not be imitated. Nowadays, in Northwest Shanxi, this thing can be said to be the hardest pass, comparable to gold and silver.

Their three or five hundred regiments have begun to circulate, and the scale is not small, and even other Jinsui troops have also begun to circulate.

"Why do they collect steel on a large scale?"

Chu Yunfei was a little puzzled at this moment.

Fang Ligong guessed:

"It is said that Zhao Jiayu, an independent group, has a small machinery factory that can manufacture some shovels and shovel tools. The steel collected is used to make this, their road repair team."

His tone was a little uncertain, making some shovels and shovels, there is no need for such a fanfare collection.

"Command the troops."

Chu Yunfei thought for a moment, then said:

"Collect shell fragments, shell casings, excess iron, etc., and hand them over to the logistics team to go to the independent regiment to exchange for food."

Although the 5000th regiment is treated at the level of a son and has priority in supply, the food and drink of nearly [-] people is not a small amount every day. The food of ordinary soldiers is very poor. If there is this opportunity to improve the food of the soldiers, Chu Yunfei will naturally not let it go Pass.

Simultaneously.

Taiyuan, the First Army Airport.

Ito Kotaro also heard the news from the black market merchants that the independent group collected a large amount of steel, which made his heart dedicated to the god of commerce boil instantly. .

·····
In mid-June, one morning.

Li Yunlong held a meeting with a group of battalion commanders at the regiment headquarters.

"The little devils recently transferred about 2000 troops to reinforce Ping'an County, and more than [-] devils to reinforce Pan County. Now the total number of devils in Pan County and Ping'an County is about [-]."

Li Yunlong personally introduced the recent situation.

Hearing this and hearing the total strength of [-] devils, the faces of all the battalion commanders of the independent regiment did not change at all, and some even licked their lips, looking a little excited.

It's just eight thousand devils.

Now the new round of military expansion of the Independent Regiment has begun. The three main battalions add up to [-] troops, plus artillery units, air defense companies, recruit training camps, and transport troops, the number is already over [-].

Adding the new first regiment and the new second regiment, we went for [-] yuan.

Leader Li continued:

"These devils don't seem to plan to attack. Instead, they built a large number of fortifications centered on the county seat, and built permanent solid civil bunkers on the high ground near important passages, preparing to block our passage out of the tens of thousands of plains in the base area."

"Hey hey..."

Speaking of this, Li Datuan laughed:
"The little devil is scared of being beaten by us."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued:
"However, it doesn't need so many troops just to block the passage, but the brat is not stupid. He must know that attacking our base with such a small force is death."

"So, the little devils put up such a big formation, they must be planning to carry out small-scale interspersed infiltration, and send a large number of small troops to destroy our base area, just as I expected before."

"According to the scheduled plan, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion will go to the edge of the base area to deploy defenses to eliminate the infiltrated devil troops. The first artillery company and the third artillery company will also be deployed on the front line to provide artillery support."

The first artillery company and the third artillery company are equipped with Bofors mountain guns, while the second artillery company is equipped with four 120 heavy mortars after the 160 mortars are released to the battalion.Since he was going to train with the devils in rounds, Li Yunlong would naturally not spend all his money.

"Yes."

All the battalion commanders replied.

"At that time, the troop conference companies of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment will be temporarily organized into independent regiments under your command."

The steel and cement business only counts the independent regiment, which is not a problem for Li Datuan, who found a way from the experience of the air defense company.

Finally, Li Yunlong added:
"Our army has a lot of new recruits now, so let the new fighters get in touch with actual combat, but we must also pay attention to casualties."

"This time, in terms of ammunition, there is no need to save money."

After discussing the specific deployment of troops, it was already noon, and several battalion commanders left the regiment headquarters. Not long after, Zhao Gang also walked in, and at the same time, the iron communicator on Li Yunlong's waist rang again.

"tank···"

The two looked at each other and said in unison.

Counting the time, this time is the time for the tank business.

······
Predetermined point of contact.

Li Yunlong took the stack of materials that Chen Fan handed over, and at the same time, he and Zhao Gang listened to the requirements of the tank business.

"This business is from July 44st of this year to next year, that is, July [-]st of [-]."

Chen Fan eloquently said:

"During the twelve months, every time the independent regiment kills a devil, it can get a ton of tank quota. As many devils as you kill, I will give you as many tons of tanks. Only the troops under the command of the independent regiment, and the cooperative troops can only There are the new first regiment and the new second regiment."

"in addition··"

Chen Fan's tone was faint:

"The total number of kills exceeds [-]. During the business period, each devil killed will be given an extra [-] tons of food."

"More than five thousand, each devil will add another ten tons of fuel."

"More than [-], plus ten tons of reinforced concrete, and two medical kits."

"More than [-], I will double reimburse all the ammunition consumed during the battle."

"More than [-], food, fuel, and cement supplies doubled."

"..."

"More than [-], providing all the facilities of a large hospital, and [-] tons of various medicines."

"..."

"..."

Finally, with Li Yunlong's dumbfounded expression, Chen Fan took out a list:
"By the way, this is the list of weapons and equipment that will be unlocked after reaching the corresponding number of kills."

"This business is settled in real time. You can ask me to collect supplies at any time. Don't worry about losses. After reaching the quota, the corresponding supplies will be reissued."

It took Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong a long time to react after the entourage led Chen Fan away.

"What a big deal!"

The corners of Li Datuan's mouth curled up, carrying a strong breath of bullshit.

　I have to go to work overtime at night, and the next chapter will be updated tomorrow morning.
