Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 161 A steady stream of new weapons!

Due to the unprecedented victory achieved in the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War, this greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of comrades in various positions in the Logistics Department.

 In the following days, both the military industrial zone and the civilian industrial zone maintained high-efficiency production.

The enthusiastic people even voluntarily started three shifts, using this shift system to produce the materials needed for the second phase day and night.

As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. As the supply base for the entire army, the Logistics Department plays a vital role in the fight against Japanese aggression.

With the production equipment and equipment brought back by the Yellow River, the headquarters and the rear area naturally provided full support. It can be said that people and people are asked to give things to people.

 In just one year, the Logistics Department has grown to 1,500 people.

If you look at the production capacity of rifles and light machine guns alone, it is almost comparable to the Fengtian Military Factory in August 1931.

 And it won’t be long before productivity in all aspects will improve dramatically. Because on June 28 this year, Huanghe unlocked assembly line production in the system.

The basic principle of the assembly line is not complicated. It is to split the repetitive process in production into several sub-processes.

 The previous sub-process creates execution conditions for the next sub-process, and each sub-process can be carried out simultaneously with other sub-processes.

 In short, it means breaking down the functions. They proceed sequentially in space and overlap in time.

It’s a pity that two months of training is not enough, and the technical level of the comrades is not yet up to standard.

 In the absence of skilled technical personnel, it is taboo to use a power assembly line.

 For example, a certain site is not efficient enough and does not complete its work. This will cause some unprocessed parts to flow to the next process, causing the entire line to collapse.

This is not the most serious situation. You must know that safety accidents can easily occur without qualified mobile personnel.

Huang He and Zhang Wanhe were not the black-hearted factory owners of later generations who should be put on the street lights. Naturally, it was impossible for their comrades to risk their work.

However, the progress of the training is generally pretty good. If it were not for the cessation of learning during the Hundred Regiment War, the first batch of workers would have been qualified by the end of August.

　　————

 In these busy days, the time has come to September 1st.

Today is a big day. Huang He was so excited that he had some insomnia last night.

He did not start theoretical study after lunch as usual, but stayed in the room waiting for the unlocking of new scientific research projects in the system.

 As the deputy minister of the Logistics Department, although Huang He is a bit of a homebody, he is always concerned about the needs of frontline soldiers and their feedback on new weapons.

 Almost every once in a while, he would send Wang Dexing to the troops at all levels to conduct research to see what kind of weapons the soldiers needed most.

 After the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War, many commandos of the main regiments hoped that the logistics department could solve the problem of insufficient firepower.

Due to the serious shortage of Jin-made Thomson and Qingdao-made MP18s, only a small number of elite troops were equipped with a few, resulting in the vast majority of soldiers having to use shell guns as replacements.

This is not to say that the box gun is not good. As a weapon that becomes a submachine gun with a wooden stock, it has many advantages.

It can be fired continuously or single-shot, has strong firepower, fast reloading, and powerful close-range firepower. It can be said that it is tailor-made for commandos.

 But the problem is that there are two types of shell guns used by soldiers, namely domestic products and imported products.

 Imported goods generally come from Dezi and Military Academy Spain.

 Among them, the German model has the best quality and is also the most popular among the troops. After all, the weapon itself was developed in Germany.

Spanish products are also good. After all, they were the first to develop the shell gun with a speed switch.

However, as a famous copycat king in Europe, the weapons they produce are a bit bold and the materials are not as good as those made in Germany, which sometimes causes jamming.

 However, there are still a small number of imported shell guns, and most soldiers use imitations from major domestic military factories.

 Since this weapon with mixed reviews was introduced to the Republic of China, a hundred flowers bloomed across the country.

 Hanyang, Gongxian, Taiyuan and other arsenals began to research and produce their own styles, and even Dagu Shipyard joined in the fun.

This makes it difficult to avoid uneven quality.

The shell guns of some soldiers in the army are of very good quality. Not only do they have a speed switch function, they also have a twenty-round detachable magazine, and their workmanship is even comparable to imported goods.

 But the quality of the guys in the hands of more comrades is questionable.

 They can only be used for single shots, and the failure rate is so high that they even need to be repaired after a few shots.

These bad conditions reduced the offensive efficiency of the commandos and also posed hidden dangers to the life safety of the soldiers.

 But start today! The Eighth Route Army is about to have its own submachine gun! With MAS-38, all problems are solved.

Although the Gallic Chicken was the victor after World War I, it does not mean that the weapons of the Zhengbai Banner Army were very advanced. Everyone knew what the French footmen were using at that time.

  The Allied Powers had a battle loss ratio of 1.39:1 with the Allied Powers on the Western Front. The frontline soldiers were almost psychologically affected by the weapons in their hands.

This is the reason why both sides are squatting in the trenches, otherwise the data would have to be increased.

 A large part of the reason why Germany was able to win the war was because Germany and Germany had limited resources, which were not enough to support them in continuing to wage war.

 So after the war, Gaul learned from the painful experience and determined to innovate light weapons.

Even the top brass of the army are making bold statements, saying they want all light machine guns, submachine guns, pistols, semi-automatic rifles and individual anti-tank guns.

 As everyone knows! The victors of the world war were a negative influence, coupled with the fact that after the war the Gallic chicken economy was in ruins.

The limited resources of the Army have to issue N+1 to Shaosha. In order to produce a new light machine gun as soon as possible, Gaul Chicken has spent a lot of effort.

Coupled with our old friend the indestructible Maginot, France can only get a MAS-36 with the little money in its pocket.

 The plan was clearly proposed in 1919, but it was delayed until 1921 before drafting it. It was not until 1938 that the new submachine gun was finalized.

  I won’t repeat the final result, the daily milk method is really boring.

In short, this gun took 20 years to come up with, and in the end it was cheaper than the Eighth Route Army, Vichy Gallic Chicken and Sandoku.

Huang He concentrated his attention and looked into the system. In the infantry light weapons interface, there was a very **** submachine gun placed there.

 Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by the strong visual impact.

The appearance of this weapon is really hard to describe. Just like Adrian's helmet, whether you like it or not is purely a matter of personal taste.

However, the MAS-38 is very recognizable because this gun fully embodies the romance of French men and the barrel is not straight.

If you place this submachine gun on the table, you will find that its barrel and receiver are not parallel, and appear to have a downward tilt angle of 6 degrees.

 Simply put, the barrel and the receiver are not in a straight line, but the receiver and the stock are on the same horizontal axis. The purpose of the designer doing this is actually to lower the aiming baseline.

 Normally, when a soldier shoots from the shoulder, there is a height difference between the eyes and the sight. This is why the butts of many rifles and machine guns are tilted downward.

  MAS-38 is a satellite that the Army has been tinkering with for nearly two decades.

In order to make a splash, the designer inserted the gun's recoil spring directly into the butt. This can reduce recoil, reduce the rate of fire, and enhance accuracy at the same time.

 Due to the through-type design, the **** and receiver must be parallel.

 That means that the usual method of tilting the gun stock downwards can no longer be used with the MAS-38.

Logically speaking, if the gun stock and receiver are on the same straight line, the aiming baseline should be raised.

Just like our Type 95 automatic rifle, get a handle, put the rear sight on the handle, and raise the front sight. This makes aiming more comfortable for the user.

 But Gallic Chicken is very stubborn and thinks that the design of raising the baseline is not beautiful.

Their weapon designers adopted another approach, which was to design an angle between the barrel and the receiver.

 When shooting, hold the barrel parallel to the ground, causing the receiver and **** to tilt downward.

 This allows the height difference between the eye and the sight to make up for the shortcoming of the receiver and gun stock being on the same axis.

 Although this design is a bit anti-human, it does not affect the accuracy of the weapon.

 Even because of the small recoil of the 7.65*20mm bullet, this new submachine gun is even better than the German MP40 in terms of accuracy.

And it is easy to control during bursts of fire, and the dispersion is relatively denser than that of submachine guns at the same time.

It’s a pity that the Gallic chicken surrendered too early. Coupled with the low production capacity, this weapon never had a chance to compete with the MP40 on the European battlefield.

On the contrary, after San Dezi occupied Zhengbai Banner, they made full use of the existing arsenal and equipment to produce this submachine gun.

  Eventually the name was changed and became brothers with MP40 in the name of MP722.

 It is worth mentioning that as a Gaul Chicken, his weapon is actually insured! However, the design of the safety is also a bit unusual, it is located at the trigger position.

The trigger of this gun can be pushed forward. No matter whether the bolt is in the front or rear section, it can be locked as long as the trigger is pushed up.

And the sight is also very romantic like a Gallic chicken.

  The front sight of a normal person is usually a relatively thin convex, but the front sight of this gun is a very thick concave.

But it is understandable. After all, a submachine gun is a weapon used at close range, and the crosshair is convenient for splashing water.

The rear sight is an aperture-type rear sight. The dual rear sight apertures with different ranges are cast on the receiver and can be folded when not in use. One aperture will not affect the use of the other.

 One is 100 meters, and the other is 200 meters. Stand whichever one you use, and fold them when not in use.

The Gallic Chicken really takes a lot of trouble in folding it.

It should be noted that neither the front sight nor the rear sight are in the center above the gun body, they are all to the left.

 Although there is rarely such a design on submachine guns, the intention is easy to understand. The **** of the gun is placed against the right shoulder to shoot, and the sight is set to the left to avoid tilting the neck to the right.

 Finally, there is the dust cover and speed switch.

 Influenced by Chauchat, all new Gaul Chicken World War II weapons were designed with dust covers.

On the outside of the gun's bolt handle, there is a dust cover that advances and retreats with the handle. It has the same effect as the Japanese 38 large cover.

The original MAS-38 did not have a speed controller, and its rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute exceeded many weapons of the same period.

  But the 32-round magazine is not durable at all and can be fired in less than two seconds. The nickname of the European typewriter is not for nothing.

 Taking into account the situation of the Eighth Route Army, the system thoughtfully added a speed machine function to this weapon.

 After browsing all the information about MAS-38, Huang He touched his chin with some unfinished content. When he was studying in Paris, this weapon had not yet been produced.

  In any case, it is a good thing that the army can install a new weapon. It is better than nothing. This system is so powerful, there may be MAT49 and FAMAS in the future.

 This complete set of equipment also includes a production line for 7.65*20mm pistol bullets.

In order not to waste resources, Huanghe decided to launch scientific research projects on the MAS-35 pistol in the future. At that time, it will be used for self-defense by officers and pilots above the platoon level.

The second weapon unlocked at the same time is the Gallic chicken's kiss of death, the Hotchkiss M1914 heavy machine gun.

 As the grandfather of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, this weapon is an old acquaintance of everyone.

 As the ancestor of air cooling, this heavy machine gun has relatively high requirements for steel. However, Huanghe has private factories within the system that can be used for trade, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

 When Guoju was purchasing weapons, he also ordered a lot of Hotchkiss M1914s. Because of this, San Dezi's military adviser was very unhappy. After all, Germany and France were feuding.

However, in a sense, air-cooled heavy machine guns have many advantages over water-cooled ones.

 First, northern China is very cold in winter, and water-cooled machine guns tend to freeze when not in combat, making machine guns unable to be used normally.

Second, there is a lack of water in the north, so the water-cooling type is not suitable for battlefields in the north, while the air-cooling type can cover both the north and the south.

And the Hotchkiss M1914 produced by the system provides a version fed by canvas belts. Although air-cooled heavy machine guns do not last as long as water-cooling, watering the barrel can be used when necessary.

 After these two heavyweight weapons are unlocked, the weapons needed by infantry at this stage are basically complete.

Everyone in the Logistics Department has long been accustomed to the various tricks of this logistics magician. Zhang Wanhe even re-planned a large area of ​​land near the arsenal to allow for the rapid deployment of new equipment and machines.

In order to see the new weapons produced by his logistics department as soon as possible, Huang He immediately set off to the idle factory building in the military industrial zone.

The MAS-38’s receiver is machined from a single piece of steel, with only a few stamped parts.

This level of production technology will not be difficult for military industry veterans who can roll bullets by hand.

Making a Hotchkiss M1914 heavy machine gun will be relatively difficult, but many technicians have experience in repairing the Type 92, which can provide more or less parallels.

 There are nanny-level instructions provided by the system, and the former director of the gun repair shop can quickly let everyone see the real thing.

 After finishing everything, Huang He came to the communications class.

“Brigadier Commander! There’s a new guy here, hurry up and bring someone to see him!”

Many people are not familiar with the Mas38 gun, so the introduction is a bit long.

In a few days, I will write a 2K free chapter to compensate everyone, bumbo
