Chapter 108 Invite Li Yunlong and Kong Jie to dinner
On this day, after Zhou Weihan inspected the stations of each company of the New Second Regiment, he returned to the regiment headquarters and went straight to Huang Liang's repair shop.
After the New Second Regiment arrived at Chenjiayu, Zhou Weihan immediately asked Huang Liang to take his workers to set up a repair shop.
The repair shop now consists of three people: the workers newly found by Zhou Weihan, the workers from the repair shop at the brigade headquarters, and the soldiers from the temporary repair shop of the former New Second Regiment who serve as apprentices.
In the repair shop, everyone was in full swing.
Huang Liang was chatting with two elderly workers: "Master Cheng, Master Zhao, you have to be patient. No one can learn it right away. We are all apprentices. Repairing a gun is a technical job and there is no need to rush."
"Director Huang, I know what you are talking about. Just because this is a technical job and there is no room for carelessness. If the guns coming out of our repair shop break down on the battlefield, it will be fine." Master Cheng said seriously.
said.
Huang Liang saw Zhou Weihan coming over: "Okay, you are all experienced veterans. Take the apprentices in your respective groups and go to work."
"Captain, you are here." Huang Liang said.
"Well, how's the situation?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"We are currently undergoing firearms repairs. One-third of the more than 300 rifles have been reassembled, and the rest need to be repaired. We have been divided into two groups. One group is responsible for disassembly, classification, and assembly, and the other group is responsible for disassembly, classification, and assembly.
Blacksmiths and fitters are responsible for forging and polishing some small parts.
Fortunately, the workers from Taiyuan brought two vises, a manual grinder and some other tools." Huang Lianghui reported.
"It's very efficient. I'm a layman in this area. If you have any difficulties, just ask them and I will do my best to protect you."
"Now we can only forge simple parts. The gun barrel is impossible. Of course, it would be great if we could get a hand drill. There is also a grinding wheel that needs to be replaced. This needs to be replaced as soon as possible." Huang Liang thought.
He thought about it and said.
"You guys concentrate on your work, I will find the things as soon as possible." Zhou Weihan said.
For firearms, the most important component is the barrel, and the rifling in the barrel can be said to be the soul of the firearm.
Today's gun barrels are made by turning the raw material into a thin rod, then drilling a small hole with a drill, and then inserting it into the barrel with an expander. Then it is hammered repeatedly with a machine and processed by cold forging.
Method, process the barrel to the required length.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that China once had three famous black gun manufacturing brands, Qinghai Hualong Manufacturing, Guizhou Songtao Manufacturing and Guangxi Hepu Manufacturing.
People in these places can make guns with some extremely crude equipment and materials.
Hualong was once the site of Ma Bufang's arsenal. The gun dealers in Hualong were really good at craftsmanship. They only needed very simple tools such as hacksaws, files, hand drills, and vise to make rifled pistols.
After making a gun, you still need bullets. You must know that making bullets is more difficult than making a gun. Guns are completely mechanical and can be made by hand with simple tools.
However, it would be too troublesome to make bullets by hand. There is little point in making one. Mass production is difficult to complete by hand. The warhead needs to be cast, the eggshell needs to be stamped, and the propellant and primer are not the same.
The Kuomintang's arsenal had the "Old Copper Shell Factory", and the Eighth Route Army's arsenal needed bullet casings recovered from the battlefield to make bullets.
The history of gun-making by the Eighth Route Army can only be traced back to the Red Army period.
The "Unique Pout" during the Red Army period was a home-made pistol made by the Red Army to overcome the problem of lack of guns. Because it had to be opened to change bullets to fire a round, it was named "The Only Pout".
This thing has a simple process and can be cast with a mold. It is said that some gun barrels are rolled out directly from thick iron sheets. The key is that this kind of gun does not pick bullets, and rifle bullets can also be used directly, so it is very suitable for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the guerrillas in the central Hebei Plain were short of weapons, so they mass-produced the "Unique Pout" as weapons.
I hereby declare that this piece of information is purely fabricated by Sanshui. Don't be curious, don't..., Sanshui will not be held responsible if something goes wrong.
Zhou Weihan came out of the repair shop and immediately called for Li Da.
"The Independent Brigade can return to the base area. I will give you a new task." Zhou Weihan then detailed what was needed to repair the weapons.
"Whether we mobilize the power of cargo companies in various counties to look for it ourselves, or through Terauchi Isamu, these things should be found as soon as possible." Zhou Weihan ordered.
"Yes, leader, I promise to complete the mission." Li Dajeng said calmly.
The repair shop was established and the efficiency was pretty good. Zhou Weihan decided that business could be started. Of course, we couldn't call it business with the brother troops. It was too ugly. It was more appropriate to call it mutual help.
"Dong Jiang, send someone to the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment to tell Kong Jie and Li Yunlong that I, an old comrade, will treat them to dinner tonight and entertain them with good wine and meat!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
Zhou Weihan plans to expand his business from the Independent Group and the New Group first, starting with the acquaintances around him.
Dong Jiang's expression on the side was a little strange. After holding it in for a long time, he said: "Captain, what did you remember? This is the first time that I have invited Commander Kong and Commander Li to dinner!"
"Hey, if you give up, you will gain. If you want people to cooperate, you have to give some blood first."
"Captain, what if Commander Li and the others don't come?"
"Not coming? That's impossible. Can they come with good wine and good meat? Especially this guy Li Yunlong, who doesn't take enough advantage, will definitely be faster than anyone else!" Zhou Weihan said confidently.
New group.
"Dinner? You can entertain me with wine and meat? Come on, he, Zhou Weihan, has come to my place for a meal. This is the first time he has invited me to dinner. He must not be holding back anything good. He, Zhou Weihan, has no good intentions.
No, no." Li Yunlong's reaction was beyond Zhou Weihan's expectations.
"Captain Li, our commander has said that we must invite you. If you don't go, it will be difficult for me to do business!" said the correspondent of the New Second Regiment.
"Who else is going besides me?" Li Yunlong asked.
"There is also Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment. Our commander said that we haven't seen our old comrades for a long time. I'm so confused. Shouldn't I invite Commander Li to the banquet?" The correspondent is also a smart person.
Lord, I can't stop saying good things.

Exactly." Li Yunlong suddenly changed his face and said with a smile.
Li Yunlong was very upset at the moment because his superiors sent a political commissar Luo to the new regiment.
Political Commissar Luo was also from the Fourth Red Army. Although Li Yunlong had never worked with him, he had heard of him and his qualifications were no less than his.
He was fat, smiling all day long, and was kind to others. This was completely opposite to Li Yunlong's style. No soldier in the new regiment said he was not a political commissar.
Li Yunlong didn't know why, but he got angry when he looked at Political Commissar Luo. Of course, none of the political commissars he partnered with were pleasing to him. Sometimes he deliberately wanted to argue with each other, but in the end, Political Commissar Luo still had a full face.
Smile, people won't accept it.
Li Yunlong punched the cotton, feeling even more uncomfortable as he held back his breath.
Independent group.
After hearing the news conveyed by the correspondent, Kong Jie took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Okay, Lao Zhou invites me to dinner, I will definitely go."
Kong Jie is a simple and honest man.
After the correspondent left, Kong Jie knocked the cigarette stick in his hand and said: "Guard, take out two slices of pork that were seized from the ambush of the Japanese supply convoy a few days ago. I will take it to the New Second Regiment later."
"Captain, a total of four fans of pork were seized last time. After we returned, the whole group had a meat meal. Now there are only two fans left. Are they all going to be taken by the New Second Group?" the guard said with some reluctance.
"Take them all. When our independent regiment was in difficulty, the New Second Regiment provided food and equipment. Although they are brother troops, we can't forget this kindness. Now that life is getting better, we can't afford to pay back the equipment.
Okay, I'm still willing to give up this little bit of pork." Kong Jie said firmly.
