Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 146 Chapter 145, buy buy buy

"I'm afraid, am I the saddest time traveler? Washing your hair has become a big deal... In other words, hurry up and get some oil to make soap! Soap is not the purpose, neither is the wax in the middle, and the glycerin at the end That's what I need..."

After shaving his head, Hu Changyi's head turned blue, and he plunged into the warm water basin...comfortable!
As for the hair that has been saved for so long, Hu Changyi directly asked Lao Zhou to shave his head bald because he couldn't bear the pain of clipping his hair with a hand clipper.Not to mention, Lao Zhou's hand pusher is not good at playing, but the razor is sneaky, Hu Changyi only feels that his head is fighting with the principal.

As the first guerrilla to shave his head, Hu Changyi seemed to give the big guy a look. Under Lao Zhou's skillful hands, the entire guerrilla, including the workers, became naked, and the brightness of the guerrilla increased. Quite a lot.

After shaving his head, he rested for a whole morning. In the afternoon, the guerrillas started working directly. They built a simple factory shed at the east end of Shiguai Village and prepared to make grenades.

Because all the regiments in the division are helping to burn charcoal, cook soil and nitrate, and even help to get sulfur, the guerrillas no longer do these jobs themselves, but instead put all their labor in the sand making of grenade shells and wooden handles. above.

Among them, there are a total of twelve workers who found sand, and some local villagers were hired to work, and they could start work in the afternoon.The same is true for carpenters. The foot-operated woodworking lathes built by themselves can make handles very quickly.

The only troublesome thing is to make the fire fuse, which is the main reason why the division asked to start work quickly!It is very simple to pull the fuze, but it requires a certain technical strength to build it.The key is that the high-explosive version also needs a detonator, which needs to be filled with a special primer and a shell of the detonator.

In short, this is a small, troublesome product, and it is extremely dangerous. If you don’t operate it properly, you will blow yourself up...

Fortunately, Hu Changyi has helpers, and they are all veterans of the Red Army, each responsible for a job that can do a good job.As for him, he only needs to configure some detonating drugs such as lead azide (purchase the finished product directly from the system) and thundermercury (this one is prepared by himself).

In the blink of an eye, the new year arrived, and 1938 arrived.The guerrilla army, or the military workshop code-named Fine Breed Farm, has taken root in Shiguai Village for a few days, and production is on the right track.

Shiguai Village is a small village facing the west source of the Qingzhang River. Some time ago, an important Shiguai meeting was held, which has a special place in our history of the Anti-Japanese War.

But now, because of the temporary stationing of the military workshop, the historical significance of this village has become even more important.

"Pa-ta, pa-ta, pa-ta..." In the yard of a common people's house, the warm sunlight shone on several busy figures.A few of them cooperated to operate a manual machine, rushing out the caps and caps one by one.

In the room, some shell casings picked up from the battlefield were put together. Someone specially removed the old primer, someone put in a new cap, and then put the capped shell on a special punch for a light impact. , Punch out three dimples on the copper edge at the bottom of the shell to hold the flash cap in place.

Then, just swipe a layer of sealant and grease on the edge of the flash cap...

After installing the flash cap, some granular black powder will be put into the shell, and then a new bullet will be installed, sealed with glue, and a bullet will be reloaded.Of course, this is just a brief introduction, there are still many processes to be done, so I won’t say more.

And the above is a new product item added by the guerrillas - the reloading bullet production line.Simple machines, more than a dozen workers, plus Hu Changyi who is directing the inspection.

"Changyi, can the bullets we made with black powder be powerful enough?" In the room, a fat middle-aged man asked Hu Changyi.

"Okay? It's good to be able to shoot out! Old Zhu, what we are solving now is the problem of whether it is available or not. As for whether it is useful or not, that is a matter for the future! Actually, the bullets we reloaded can be used Use it as bullets and mines! You don’t need to blow up the devil’s feet, as long as you blow up a wound, that’s victory!” Hu Changyi said.

"That's true! But can you really get that propellant out?" Zhu Xingyu (Xingyu & Laozhu) wondered.

"It can be made! I have learned from adults before, and we can make it if we have the raw materials! In fact, even if we buy a single-base propellant like this, we are suitable! Buy a ton, and we can It will take a long time!" Hu Changyi said.

"Actually, what I hope is that we can make our own bullets! But it's not too bad now, you take everyone to familiarize yourself with the reloading of bullets and the manufacture of bullets. When we have a chance, let's find a place to look at those bullets. What is the operating principle of the bullet production machine, can it be followed!" Zhu Xingyu said.

"Bullet production machines? Where can I see them? The nearest ones are those in Yan Laoxi's house, but they let us see them? But the propellant you mentioned, that is, gun cotton, even if I can make it, I will die alone. No amount of work can be produced! And there are not many raw materials, so we can only tinker with about ten kilograms first!" Hu Changyi said.

"More than a dozen kilograms? That's a lot! Let me do the math, a bullet costs 2 grams of medicine, so the fifteen kilograms is... more than 7000 rounds..." Zhu Xingyu sighed.

"Well, that's all! You just watch here, I'll go to my little laboratory to tinker!" Hu Changyi asked Zhu Xingyu to continue to stare at the big guy for reloading, and he went to a room to make some fire. Cotton comes out.

Who is Zhu Xingyu?Ahem, this is the manager assigned to the guerrillas by the division headquarters, and Hu Changyi happened to put it on the reloading bullet.In the future, if you can really engage in the production of bullets by yourself, this will be a special responsibility.

Not to mention, there are still a lot of capable people on our Eighth Road side. What is lacking is technology, capital, and a stable external environment...

When Hu Changyi entered the room, he saw piles of bottles and cans, including nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and various necessary medicines, all of which were bought by the organization.As for Hu Changyi, he had already spent merit points to purchase the production technology of nitrocellulose from the system.

Now that there is no large-scale equipment, he can only do it himself, using these bottles and cans to make some.

It is worth mentioning that the logistics personnel and procurement personnel of the Eighth Route Army are currently very busy.

What are they doing?buy something!It is true that the Eighth Route Army is poor, but it can concentrate its efforts on major tasks and spend its money wisely!

So what is used wisely?Of course it is military industry!Soldiers can eat less and wear less, but there must be enough bullets in the gun and grenades in the waist!
Therefore, in Xi'an City, Changzhi City, Yuncheng...all the cities that our party can go to, those buyers have already started to spend money.

What copper slag from Yuanqu County, what salt from Yuncheng, what white iron cast iron nitrate cotton... Anything that can be used, one word - buy!

Where did you say the money came from?Didn't the principal pay some military pay?In addition, the Eighth Route Army fought very well in these few battles, and the battles were captured, and the reputation was spread. Some patriotic people also raised some money for the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, the Eighth Route Army also has its own means of making money. For example, some cigarette factories have relations with the Eighth Route Army.

Well, the Red Chicken cigarettes that have disappeared in Jinan for many years were produced by Division 115...

Although I don't smoke, I still miss...
