I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 524 Souvenirs

"Mr. Liu, let me test the gun. You can just watch from the side." A soldier wanted to test the gun instead of Liu Gen.

Liu Gen shook his head directly. He chose to refuse. It is better for him to test the gun. The submachine gun was improved by him based on the British Sten submachine gun. He is the person who knows this submachine gun best.During the process of making the submachine gun, Liu Genyou carefully observed the actions of Kong Jue and the others. He could see that Kong Jue and the others were very hardworking. There shouldn't be any major problems with this submachine gun.

During the gun test, unless there are too serious problems with the gun, there will be no danger to life.With Liu Gen's ability, if something goes wrong during the gun test, he can dodge it as quickly as possible to ensure his own safety.

"No need, let me be the first to test the first submachine gun manufactured by our arsenal." Liu Gen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Kong Jue and the others had a hint of helplessness on their faces. They knew Liu Gen would do this. As members of the Artillery Department, they knew something about Liu Gen's character. As long as it was something Liu Gen decided, then Will not change easily.In the impression of Kong Jue and others, Liu Gen's decision has never changed once.

Now, Kong Jue and the others can only hope that Liu Gen will not have any problems during the gun test, otherwise they will really be to blame for this.

"Okay, let's go farther and keep a certain distance." Liu Gen said.

Under Liu Gen's order, even if Kong Jue and the others were unwilling, they could only obey Liu Gen's order and stay a certain distance away to avoid accidents during the gun test.Kong Jue wanted to stay. He wanted to stay by Liu Gen's side. The submachine gun was manufactured by him with the workers from the Artillery Department. If there was any problem, he would stand in front of Liu Gen.

Kong Jue felt that even if he sacrificed, Liu Gen would not have any problems. He clearly understood Liu Gen's ability and knew that Liu Gen could do more things than himself while alive.

"bang bang bang" "bang bang bang"

After carefully checking the submachine gun again, Liu Gen turned on the double safety and shot decisively. At the beginning, he didn't pull continuously, but pulled again and again. The bullets kept flying out of the muzzle and hit the stone 200 meters away. , leaving obvious potholes, the power is not weak.After emptying a magazine, Liu Gen reloaded, and this time he fired continuously.

During the continuous shooting, Liu Gen could feel that the recoil of this submachine gun was not too strong, and ordinary soldiers should be able to bear it. There was no problem with the barrel of the continuous shooting, and there was no jamming, which made Liu Gen very happy. satisfy.Compared with the MP40 submachine gun used by Liu Gen, there is not much difference, but the cost of the two is very different.

Of course, the high cost has the advantage of being expensive. If objective conditions permit, then he would definitely like all soldiers to be equipped with MP40s. Unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army does not have such conditions.

"Not bad! Let me play a few more magazines." Liu Gen praised.Just keep trying.

Considering the importance of this submachine gun, Kong Jue and the others prepared a total of [-] rounds of ammunition during the test, which can be said to be a big deal.In the future, after the submachine gun is manufactured, it will also conduct certain test firings, but it will not consume too many bullets. At that time, I am afraid that one magazine will be considered too much.The number of bullets used for the test shooting was a little less, but Liu Gen still felt that this kind of test shooting was necessary, as it could guarantee the quality of the submachine gun to a greater extent.

Liu Gen didn't use up all the bullets he had prepared for the test firing. After finishing a few magazines, he asked Kong Jue and others to take over and let them feel the power of this submachine gun.As the creators of this submachine gun, Kong Jue and others must want to feel the power of this submachine gun. Liu Gen naturally took this into consideration. He also wanted Kong Jue and others to find Discuss the shortcomings of this submachine gun and the areas that can be improved.

Half an hour later, the test firing was completely over. Overall, the performance of this submachine gun was very good, at least there was only one jam during the test firing.It’s just that the bullets used in the test shooting made Kong Jue and others feel distressed. The submachine gun is good and powerful, but the extremely high rate of fire of the submachine gun means that this is another big consumer of ammunition.

While the soldiers were cleaning up the scene and collecting the bullet casings again, Liu Gen gathered Kong Jue and the others together, wanting to ask them if they found any problems with this submachine gun.and where it can be improved.

"Mr. Liu, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this submachine gun, and it can fully meet the needs of our troops."

"Yes, there is no problem."

"..."

Kong Jue and the others failed to say anything. They had relatively few submachine guns, so it was difficult for them to offer constructive opinions.In this regard, Liu Gen also has nothing to do. He has the idea of ​​improving the knowledge of Kong Jue and others, but it will take time.

"There are many problems with this submachine gun. I hope you can observe carefully after you go back. This submachine gun still has a lot of room for improvement. I hope you can continue to improve this submachine gun and update it so that this submachine gun can keep up with it." The speed at which our Eighth Route Army is developing." Liu Gen said solemnly.

With Liu Gen's ability, he can clearly see the problems existing in this submachine gun, and there are corresponding solutions, but he has no intention of expressing it directly. Some things still need to be done by Kong Jue and the others.If Liu Gen is required to do everything, how can Kong Jue and others make progress?Only Kong Jue and others continue to grow up, which is what Liu Gen hopes to see.

Seeing the seriousness on Liu Gen's face, Kong Jue and the others nodded vigorously, with deep firmness in their eyes, "Mr. Liu, we will definitely not let you down!"

Liu Gen nodded in satisfaction, and he said to Kong Jue and others again: "Comrades, our conditions are very difficult now, but I believe this is only short-lived, and our future is infinitely bright. I hope to see everyone constantly growth, and in the future, any one of you can become an expert in all aspects."

"Maybe your current abilities are good, but in my opinion, you all still have a lot of room for improvement, and there are many things you can do. I hope you will not be immersed in the achievements you have made in the past, and continue to work hard to improve yourself. Everyone If you have any questions and needs, you can come to me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help everyone."

"..."

On this day, Liu Gen's speech was deeply engraved in the minds of Kong Jue and others. Whenever they were a little slack in their achievements, they would think of Liu Gen's words, which inspired them to keep moving forward.

When Liu Gen returned to the arsenal with Kong Jue and others, Director Qi could see that the mental outlook of Kong Jue and others had changed a lot, and he couldn't see much joy on their faces, which made Director Qi a little nervous. Suspected that he had got a fake news.

Director Qi learned that Liu Gen and others had successfully manufactured a submachine gun, so he wanted to take a look at the relevant results. However, the current situation made Director Qi worry about himself. Could it be that the submachine gun he made appeared in the test? problem?Otherwise, why wouldn't Kong Jue and the others see any joy on their faces?

"You guys go back first. You don't have to be so fast in making weapons and equipment. You must thoroughly understand these things." Seeing Director Qi, Liu Gen instructed Kong Jue and others.

Kong Jue and others left quickly, they were somewhat ashamed, and when Liu Gen asked if there was something wrong with the submachine gun, they couldn't say anything useful.Kong Jue and others can be sure that since Liu Gen asked such a question, there must still be some problems with the submachine gun, and there must be enough room for improvement.

Unfortunately, Kong Jue and the others didn't see anything, so how could they not feel ashamed at all?Before making the submachine gun, Kong Jue carefully checked the relevant design drawings, hoping to understand the submachine gun through this method. In two days, he felt that he had successfully understood everything.

But now, Kong Jue realizes that he is still far behind. If he really understands it thoroughly, then the previous situation will not happen.

After Kong Jue and others left, Director Qi became more and more worried. Could it be that something really went wrong?Director Qi's mood became a little heavy, and he couldn't help asking: "Foreman Liu, did something go wrong during the gun test? How is it? Can it be solved?"

"Our branch factory has everything. As long as you ask, I will get you even the emperor of Japan."

Liu Gen laughed. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Director Qi, I don't need the Emperor of Japan anymore. What use would I have him for? Waste of food! There is no problem with the test firing of the submachine gun, and the next step is to mass It has been produced, but I don’t know the situation of our branch factory. How much can it produce at most?”

Director Qi's face showed obvious joy, as long as the submachine gun has no problems, it will be fine, and it can enter the stage of mass production, which fully demonstrates this point.Just thinking about the situation of the first branch factory, the joy on the face of director Qi dissipated. If the submachine guns were really mass-produced, then I am afraid that not many can be produced, at most two hundred can be produced.

After all, it is impossible for the entire No. [-] branch factory to give up other production tasks in order to produce submachine guns. The steel consumed by the No. [-] branch factory every day is not a small amount.Even if two hundred submachine guns are produced, it cannot be produced in a short period of time. It will take at least a month, or even more.

"Maximum two hundred, and more is somewhat impossible. The steel in the arsenal is limited, and mass production is somewhat difficult." Director Qi said helplessly.

Liu Gen was a little silent. The number was still far from his estimate. To be honest, [-] guns were a little small. With so many troops, [-] submachine guns would be pitifully few if they were distributed among the troops. It is simply impossible to form enough combat power.But Liu Gen also knew that it was impossible to mass-produce submachine guns under the current conditions. If two hundred submachine guns were really counted, they could arm two or three troops.

"Understandable, let's produce two hundred for the time being. The advantages and disadvantages of this submachine gun can also be found in actual combat. It can be used as a reference for further improvement of this submachine gun." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Director Qi nodded and said that there is no problem. Such a quantity is still within the range that the arsenal can bear. As long as there is enough time for production, then enough submachine guns can be produced.In Director Qi's view, temporarily producing [-] submachine guns is also beneficial. The production pressure that the arsenal needs to bear will not be so great, and it will also allow the arsenal to become familiar with and accumulate relevant production technologies.

When the arsenal needs to mass-produce this submachine gun, the arsenal will be much more relaxed, without too much pressure, and a sufficient production scale will be formed in a short period of time.

"I don't know what the name of this submachine gun is?" After a moment of silence, Director Qi asked with a smile.

Liu Gen shook his head, "In two days, I plan to bring this submachine gun back to the division headquarters, let the division commander and bosses have a look, and let them name it."

After successfully manufacturing the submachine gun, Liu Gen knew that he would not stay in the arsenal for too long, and he needed to return to the division headquarters.Returning to the division headquarters earlier, Liu Gen can also do other things. During the time in the No. [-] branch factory, Liu Gen did a lot of things. Now the No. [-] branch factory doesn't have too many things for Liu Gen to do.

As for the problems that may arise in the first branch factory, it is better to leave it to Kong Jue and others. I believe that after Liu Gen's teaching, they also have enough ability to solve those problems.Unless it is a major problem that affects the operation of the first branch factory, Liu Gen will not easily come to the first branch factory.

"When is Engineer Liu planning to go back?" Director Qi looked at Liu Gen and asked.

Director Qi knew that Liu Gen was definitely going back to the division headquarters. After Liu Gen solved all the problems in the first branch, he felt that Liu Gen was going to leave, but he didn't expect Liu Gen to stay until now.Director Qi had the idea of ​​keeping Liu Gen in the first branch, but he also knew that this idea was unrealistic. Even if Liu Gen chose to stay, the teachers and bosses would not be willing to let Liu Gen stay.

In this regard, Director Qi can only hope that Liu Gen will return to one more branch factory in the future, so that one branch factory can solve many problems. Presumably with the artillery department, Liu Gen will come back more often.

"The day after tomorrow? Does Director Qi have anything to do?" Liu Gen asked with some doubts, not understanding what Director Qi wanted to do.

Noticing the doubt in Liu Gen's eyes, Director Qi quickly explained: "It's like this. When you go back, Mr. Liu, I hope you can bring some local products from our first branch factory to the bosses. These are all folks. What we want to give to the bosses."

"I haven't been to the headquarters for a long time. Now that you are here, I will go back soon. I hope you can take it back."

Liu Gen was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect this to be the reason. He hesitated, "Director Qi, you also know the style of our army. You can't take the common people's needles and stitches. Why don't you send these things back to the villagers? .”

Immediately, Factory Manager Qi smiled wryly, "Mr. Liu, it's not that I haven't done this before, but those fellow villagers don't want it. It's not that I have no choice, so I want you to be brought back to the bosses."
