The foundation of the Eighth Route Army's military industry was still a little weak, so they needed to rely on the assistance of the Bear Country to develop their foundation. Only then could they develop on their own.
This time, the equipment and machines donated by the overseas Chinese compatriots in Yingjiang could alleviate the urgent need, but it was not a long-term solution.
After all, Yingjiang's overseas Chinese compatriots had limited abilities.
Su Wen stayed in the Eighth Route Army's military department for two days.
In these two days, Su Wen, Liu Ming, Li Chengpeng, and the other leaders of the military industry had a good chat about the military construction of the Eighth Route Army.
According to Su Wen's suggestion, he would gather the necessary manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build a mature industrial system in the rear area, build schools, and focus on building and developing the military industry.
Moreover, Su Wen also proposed to build the industrial foundation of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible through aid, purchase, and capture. This would create the basic conditions for the development of the military industry.
Su Wen proposed a feasible solution, which was to obtain assistance from the Furious Bear Country or purchase some industrial equipment from the Furious Bear Country to build an industrial foundation.
In short, Su Wen had given the Eighth Route Army a constructive suggestion for the development of the military industry. This was an eye-opener for Li Chengpeng and Liu Ming.
They realized that Su Wen was not just a military expert.
At the same time, Liu Ming also brought up a thorny problem that the Military Industry Department was currently facing.
Liu Ming looked at Su Wen and said," Su Wen, the technicians from the First and Third Departments of the Military Industry Department and the Liugou Iron Plant have dissected and surveyed the Japanese grenade launchers. They have analyzed and studied the raw materials, processing conditions, and difficulties they face. They believe that it is possible to produce the grenade launchers and ammunition, but they cannot be copied. They have to be modified according to the resources of the base.”
"Currently, we have two problems. One is the barrel and the raw materials for the projectile, and the other is the processing method. Do you have any solutions to this?”
Iron and copper mines had been discovered in Taihang Mountain, but due to production and technical constraints, they could only meet the needs of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal. Other arsenals and research institutes were still in short supply of steel and copper.
Su Wen thought for a moment and said,"The body of the grenade launcher needs thick steel, so I'll think of a way to replace it with the railway tracks demolished from the enemy's territory."”
"Yes, but this is obviously not enough."”
Su Wen was silent for a moment before saying,"How about this? Isn't Taihang Mountain rich in white pig iron as raw material?" We can combine the foreign "foreign" process of cast iron tempering with the folk fireworks technology to create a qualified missile.”
" The rifling of the barrel can't be made without special equipment, so we'll change the barrel into a smooth-bore structure and lengthen it appropriately to ensure the accuracy of the shooting. We can also improve the Japanese flat-headed cannonball into a curved cannonball by increasing the shooting distance.”
"These can solve the problem!”
Liu Ming pondered over Su Wen's words and nodded repeatedly in praise."Su Wen, you're really amazing. We've been troubled for so long, but you solved it in no time!”
Li Chengpeng could not help but exclaim,"Comrade Su Wen, you're really an all-rounder. I feel like there's nothing you don't know. You can make guns, cannons, anything!”
"I only know a little.”
This made Li Chengpeng and Liu Ming admire Su Wen very much.
After staying in the military department for two days, Su Wen returned to the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory.
At the same time, he also brought back a guard company to protect Su Wen.
The entire Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory was not dissatisfied with Su Wen, the newly appointed deputy factory manager. After all, Su Wen's Soyu-style AK rifle and Flying Thunder Cannon had already conquered everyone, let alone the RPG rocket launcher that had yet to be made public.
Conquer!
Su Wen's ability conquered everyone.
Zhao Tianming, Chen Zheng, and the others also expressed their congratulations.
In the following period of time, the 8th Route Army's military department also began to promote the Flying Thunder Cannon that Su Wen had created to make up for the lack of cannons in the 8th Route Army.
The Flying Thunder Cannon was easy to make, cheap, and powerful. It was quickly popularized in the 8th Route Army.
As long as the troops had the conditions, they would use the Flying Thunder Cannons.
Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory.
On the one hand, Su Wen was keeping an eye on the mass production of the Su-style AK rifle. At the same time, he was also distributing the resources of the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory to prepare for the mass production of the RPG rocket launcher.
At the same time, the first batch of Soviet-style AK rifles produced by Taihang Mountain was officially put into service.
Moreover, the first time this batch of advanced automatic rifles appeared was in the Hundred Regiment Battle…
