Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 193 Chapter 192, the bright red flag

It is not actually accurate to say that it is a wooden buttstock, because the wooden part of the Type 81 rifle includes the buttstock, bolt guard, handle, and barrel guard, forming a long strip-shaped structure.

It can be said that the most important part of the Type 81 rifle, apart from the barrel and bolt, is the wood. Carpenters select catalpa wood boards of appropriate thickness and saw them into the shape to be processed. Then, they use chisels and other tools to chisel out the part where the bolt is installed, the part where the barrel is installed, and the place where the magazine is installed. Finally, they polish and shape it.

Moreover, this chiseling is not just a random chiseling, it needs to be coordinated with the bolt, barrel and other parts, so that these parts can be taken and installed in just the right way. In short, the overall support of a gun depends on this piece of wood.

In the yard, everyone carefully watched the carpenters working diligently, and watched the apprentice carpenters using axe to polish the processed gun stocks until they were smooth, before continuing to observe the next process.

There were several furnaces burning in the yard, as well as several hammers and anvils. At this time, Zou Ming, the most incompetent squad leader of the guerrillas, was holding a small hammer and carefully hitting a thin steel bar, his face full of sweat. This steel bar was the rough blank of the bolt of the Type 81 cavalry rifle, which needed to be forged and tempered before it could be fine-turned on the lathe.

On Zou Ming's left, the other blacksmiths were hammering away, and it was easy to see that they were hammering away at the parts of the trigger. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the three-edged bayonet that was being forged. The three-edged bayonet had a solid structure, so it didn't require very good steel to ensure excellent strength. The material of the rails was an extremely good material for the three-edged bayonet.

Therefore, under the forging of the workers, a round steel bar of more than 20 centimeters was forged and stretched, and then beaten into a thick end and a thin end, and a three-sided groove was punched out with a punch, and finally put into the mold for forging. Then, quenching and tempering, adjusting the length, adjusting the angle... After a set of processes, the three-sided spike was formed.

Of course, it is also necessary to process the spring table on a lathe and drill the muzzle ring on a drill press. But no matter what, this triangular spike is not a very fine process compared to other parts.

No one said anything, just watching the blacksmith working with sweat on his forehead until a three-edged spike was transformed from a round steel into a finely forged part.

After being machined, the three-edged spike needs to be polished, and finally the flat tip at the top needs to be polished. Well, the tip of the spike looks like a flat screwdriver, but with the blessing of speed and power, it can easily break the Japanese uniform, pierce the Japanese muscles, push open the Japanese ribs, and finally pierce the Japanese heart and lungs, and then pass out from the back.

Because there are enough grooves to guide air into the body of the enemy, and the shape of the three-edged thorn is here, it can easily pierce the enemy and be easily pulled out. Then, the irregular wound will sizzle and bleed the enemy. Although this wound can be sutured, it is necessary to wait until the military doctor arrives before performing the operation. In other words, it is hard to say whether the wounded can hold on until the military doctor arrives.

After watching the forging process of the three-edged spike, everyone walked into the stuffy room. Then, they saw the lathe workers processing the blanks one by one into the desired shape, the drill press workers drilling holes in the gun barrels, and the rifling cutters cutting out little by little iron filings as they turned, outlining the rotating rifling on the inner wall of the gun barrel.

After watching all the parts processing process, the last thing to see is the final assembly. Under Lei Yan's command, two workers cooperated with each other to assemble various parts and finally installed them in each position reserved by the handguard. When a newest Type 81 carbine was assembled, Minister Zhang took it directly, held it in his hand, and pulled the bolt to check it.

"Not bad, not bad, really good!" After trying it a few times, Minister Zhang placed the rifle on the wooden rack beside him with great satisfaction. Then he turned around and motioned everyone to go out.

In the alley outside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at each other, feeling a lot more relaxed. This is our first arsenal that can make standard rifles. Although it is in the same yard and uses the oldest equipment, it is indeed making rifles, and they are uniform rifles. "A large part of our Eighth Route Army's future equipment will come from here! So, this is a banner of our Eighth Route Army's military technology, a bright red banner! The future development of military industry must be guided by this banner!" Looking at the yard that was still ringing, Minister Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

"Then we must protect this place well and never let the Japanese find us!" the brigade commander followed.

"The headquarters has ordered the 769th Regiment to operate in the east, and your brigade will soon take over the defense work of the 169th Division. Our military strength here is still very strong for the time being. The only thing is that this place is too close to the Japanese. Once the news leaks, the Japanese will spare no effort to attack our arsenal! Therefore, we must move away!" Minister Zhang spoke only when he saw the tight security around.

"When are we going to move? We are currently manufacturing the rifling cutting machine, and Comrade Peregrine has also designed new firearms. Isn't it inappropriate to move now?" Xiao Fengyun asked.

"Haha, of course we're not moving now. We still have a month to prepare! During this time, I will stay with your Beishan guerrillas." Minister Zhang turned and said to Zhao Danian.

"Is that so? Okay, no problem!" Zhao Danian felt a lot of pressure at this time. Minister Zhang was in charge here, so safety issues had to be taken seriously.

"Don't feel pressured, the 772nd Regiment will also come here secretly! By the way, didn't you dig a tunnel? Let's go and take a look together?" The brigade commander said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we have a tunnel! We have been digging and digging for a long time, and I feel like I have become a tomb robber! Brigade Commander, Minister Zhang, come this way!" Zhao Danian said quickly.

Leading the two leaders, they returned to the Liang family compound and entered the middle room of the east wing. With a whoosh, Zhao Danian pushed open a cabinet, revealing the underground hole behind it.

"Go this way, follow closely!" Zhao Danian took a flashlight and went down the tunnel first, and then everyone followed him.

The tunnel was more than three meters deep, and then there was a turn to the east, but this turn was relatively low, so one could only walk over it while squatting. After walking for more than three meters, the tunnel became wider again.
