Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter Twelve: The Beginning of the Military Industry

After much thought, Hu Weidong decided to designate those pistol players who have potential but have not yet met his requirements as "reserve members." Only those who pass the assessment and are recognized by himself and everyone in actual combat can they become official "reserve members."

"Pistol (Special Forces) Team", so all the original pistol team members were downgraded...

Since then, the militia company's enthusiasm for learning and training has been unprecedentedly high, and their attitudes have become even more serious. Coupled with the addition of Long Feibao, an outstanding combat and shooting instructor, the militia company has more than 400 military officers and soldiers, including reserve members.

Their literacy has improved by leaps and bounds. However, Hu Weidong does not allow everyone to practice too hard. After all, the enemy may attack at any time. If everyone happens to be exhausted from training, they will be dizzy. In literary and artistic works such as TV movies and novels, soldiers are asked to

The practice of practicing until the whole body is exhausted, or even injured and broken is only feasible in rear bases that are not easily attacked by the enemy. It would be too stupid for the current militia companies to do that...

However, Hu Weidong put forward almost harsh requirements for tactical training that requires more brainpower. This allowed many advanced tactics he knew to be applied to actual combat earlier, and he soon no longer had to lead the team in person every time.

The advanced, scientific and flexible tactics have largely made up for the lack of individual combat effectiveness of the militia company, and have gradually become one of its deep-rooted traditions. Hu Weidong has never given up on cultural education, especially those who were

Youngsters who he believed had potential were singled out to open small stoves in person, which paved the way for the establishment of three major mobile schools in the near future...

Although he pays close attention to training work, Hu Weidong does not agree with the statement that "bringing untrained soldiers to the battlefield is irresponsible for their lives." This is because it is not that the enemy will not survive if he does not fight them out.

Come over. If you only focus on training, the team will not be able to expand quickly. When the enemy's superior force comes, the militia company will still only have a few people. Isn't that waiting to die?

Hu Weidong believes that as long as we are more certain to win and the gains outweigh the losses, we should start fighting without hesitation. Through "fighting as training", we can not only train the team, but also seize weapons and ammunition to arm more troops.

, can build a powerful army as quickly as possible, and it is also the only way for a weak militia company to survive when surrounded by powerful enemies. As for how to ensure victory when the strength is not strong, it must rely on

He, and even the entire militia company, used their brains more while training and studying hard...

Due to the capture in the previous battle, the firepower of the militia company was greatly increased. In particular, the pistol team was greatly expanded and was able to disguise itself as a plainclothes team of district team size. It was equipped with more than 20 guns and 80 guns. Under the command of Hu Weidong, as long as

Gaining the upper hand at a relatively close range, it was easy to deal with hundreds of regular troops. The difficulty of attacking the mines suddenly dropped sharply. In the next twenty days, except for the two mines close to Xingguo County, no miners in the county dared to attack them.

All large mines with more than 50 people were ransacked by militia companies. A total of more than 800 mine protection teams, Rangers and even regular troops were killed and captured. More than 5,000 miners were rescued. A large amount of weapons and equipment were also seized, mainly including:

More than six hundred rifles,

73 pistols (including 12 twenty-gun guns),

18 flower traps,

4 Czech light machine guns,

2 water-cooled Maxim heavy machine guns,

2 60mm mortars and 60 rounds of shells,

More than 80 domestically made wooden handle grenades,

103 bayonets...

In addition, the militia company also seized a large amount of materials, including: more than 300 taels of gold, more than 5,000 pieces of ocean, more than 200,000 jins of grain, more than 5 tons of salt, hundreds of mules and horses, hundreds of carts, brass

More than 300 kilograms, more than 500 kilograms of crude lead, more than 20,000 kilograms of clean tungsten sand, more than 30 tons of coal, ammonium nitrate explosive (the most cost-effective explosive before and after the Anti-Japanese War, and it is more powerful than black powder at least...

...) more than ten tons, more than four hundred kilograms of high explosives (tnt, nitroglycerin, etc., including mixed explosives based on them.), more than 30,000 detonators, in addition to valuable industrial and mining equipment, and even spare parts

Hu Weidong had them all dismantled and taken away, and even tens of thousands of kilograms of "scrap" steel and "scrap" iron were taken away...

For a militia company that mainly implements an internal rationing system and does not have any external trading channels, the money, as well as certain materials (such as tungsten sand) whose only purpose is to be turned into money, can only be reserved for future use.

But the value of explosives, detonators, machinery and equipment, copper, lead, steel and other strategic materials is completely different, especially those tens of thousands of detonators are even more precious...

With these supplies, several materials needed for reloading bullets are available. Mercury, the main ingredient in detonators, can be made into a large number of bullet primers, while copper and lead are the main materials for making warheads. Although there is still a serious shortage in arsenals at present

He was a skilled worker, but with Wu Yunduo's experience and lessons as a reference, Hu Weidong successfully built a bullet reassembly production line with high production efficiency and that could be easily disassembled and assembled without much effort. January 1935

In the middle of the year, the first reloading bullet production line came into operation. More than 10,000 reloading bullets were loaded that month. According to soldiers who used it, the shooting accuracy of the rifle was not greatly affected after loading the reloading bullets. 100

You can hardly feel the difference within 100 meters. As for longer distances, currently militiamen generally wait until the enemy is within 200 meters before firing. (In an assessment at the end of January, the average hit rate for shooting humanoid fixed targets at a distance of 100 meters was

About 60%, the results of 200 meters and moving target are even less impressive. Although considering the current terrifying expansion rate of the militia company, a large number of recruits are holding back, it is not easy to train to the current level...

...), so the impact is not very big.

This proves that the arsenal management regulations formulated by Hu Weidong are indeed of great help in improving product quality. In terms of both output and quality, his arsenal has clearly surpassed the production line built by Wu Yunduo in history when he was in the New Fourth Army, and as the workers

As his skills become more and more proficient, the output and quality of reloaded bullets can be further improved. What makes him a little regretful is that although the quality of these reloaded bullets is already quite good, they are still semi-manual products after all and cannot be fully standardized.

If it is installed in a magazine or belt and used for automatic weapons, it will easily jam. Therefore, it can generally only be used for rifles, and it can only be loaded one round at a time.
