Chapter 156: Build anti-aircraft guns and fight the Japanese!
Yamamoto Ikki is usually a guy who is decisive and has a very strong fighting will, but today in this office, he felt that he really couldn't stay there any longer.
I have experienced the firepower density of the independent regiment.
At that time, he and his special forces brigade had just appeared when they were pushed back by the powerful firepower of the independent regiment, and they didn't even enter the village.
Now you want me to fight the independent regiment?
Yamamoto Ikki really didn't know what to say in response.
Shinozuka Yoshio saw the difficulty of his subordinates, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that this matter is still quite difficult.
The Special High Police have been really derelict in their duties recently, so you should cooperate with them to collect intelligence about the Independent Regiment.
As for the Independent Regiment, we should mobilize the remaining air force in Jin to attack them now!
This time, the take-off and landing airport for our planes is arranged in Taiyuan city!
I just don’t believe it. No matter how strong his independent regiment is, do they dare to attack Taiyuan?”
After deploying these tasks, a rare hint of ferocity flashed across the face of the Confucian general Yoshio Shinozuka, and he slammed the table hard, making a loud noise.
It is ridiculous and shameful that the mighty Locust Army was forced to such a point by a small independent regiment of more than a thousand people!
......
Yu Ye didn't know that Yoshio Shinozuka had already slammed the table for the independent group.
He was now completely focused on the eight gun barrels. As the eight steel barrels gradually cooled down, his heart rose to his throat.
Yu Ye didn’t know what quality these eight gun barrels could have been cast in such a simple environment.
"Director, what are you doing by pumping water into this center of gravity mold?" Li Zhengang followed Yu Ye closely, and the notebook in his hand recorded almost every movement of Yu Ye during the operation, without any omission.
"This is to allow the barrel to cool down in stages during the cooling process, with the innermost layer of molten steel solidifying first, so that the inside of the barrel will be denser.
The outer steel tube will exert a force on the inner steel tube, which can greatly increase the life of the barrel."
Yu Ye explained patiently.
"Director, what kind of technology is this? Or what kind of principle is this?"
"It's a very simple and elementary self-tightening technology. Limited by current conditions, we can only do this. We can only hope that this method can reduce the probability of the barrel exploding."
Yu Ye sighed and said.
In fact, without various equipment such as X-rays, it is impossible to conduct nondestructive testing, and it is impossible to detect whether there are any cracks inside the barrel.
The solutions used by the industry are, first, the self-tightening technology of the gun body, and second, increasing the thickness of the gun barrel to a certain extent to minimize the risk of explosion.
"However, the Japanese haven't mastered the self-tightening technology yet. Some of their old fleets still use double-layer casting or wire rope winding to prevent the main guns from exploding."
While Yu Ye was using a small hammer to knock on the steel pipe that was gradually cooling down to room temperature, he was mocking the Japanese's technology with disdain.
As a small country, you are not worthy of being on the stage.
Listening to the crisp sound of the hammer hitting the steel pipe, Yu Ye turned his head and asked, "Zhengang, does it sound good?"
"It sounds good."
Li Zhengang was a little confused and didn't know what Yu Ye meant.
"Good sounding steel means good steel."
Aha?
Looking at the confused students, Yu Ye raised the corner of his mouth. This was definitely not a prank imitating a certain type of tea in later generations, but the best industrial products in the world all have a simple and harmonious beauty.
This gun barrel too.
I just hope that when this crisp gun barrel is laid flat in the future, the shells will still make a crisp sound when hitting the Japanese.
Li Zhengang and several comrades in the workshop were arranged to carry the eight gun barrels that had reached room temperature to the workshop and place them for a period of time. During this period of time, some of the stress on the gun barrels themselves could be eliminated.
During this period, Yu Ye needs to debug the boring machine in the workshop to ensure that it can achieve a certain level of accuracy and complete the processing of these gun barrels.
Decades later, even though China's industry has developed to an extremely high level, deep hole boring technology still requires top-notch craftsmen to produce.
Yu Ye can design it, but he is not confident that he can complete it with the current equipment.
However, before processing these gun barrels, Yu Ye still had some things to do, that is, he needed to process the chassis of the gun.
If the gun barrel is the fire output unit of the anti-aircraft gun, then the chassis that can flexibly adjust the shooting angle and direction is more like an extremely important central unit.
Yu Ye had already designed it, and now he started processing the workpieces one by one according to the drawings.
Yu Ye arranged for everyone else to process artillery shells. Nowadays, the speed of a propeller plane naturally cannot be compared with that of a jet fixed-wing aircraft, but its speed is also very fast.
Therefore, it is nothing short of a fantasy to want to keep up with the Japanese planes with ordinary firearms.
The purpose of anti-aircraft guns is to weave a fire network in the airspace where planes may pass, so as to shoot down Japanese planes.
Therefore, a huge amount of bullets are needed as reserves, otherwise it will be difficult to be effective.
Yu Ye was the only one in the workshop, and there was no other sound except the friction sound caused by the contact between the blade and the metal.
One workpiece after another is completed in the hands of the industry.
When Yu Ye completed the processing of the gear on the main shaft of the base, he suddenly heard an explosion.
Yu Ye was suddenly shocked.
The explosion was quite far away from here, but it was still clearly audible.
Yu Ye knew that the thing he was most worried about had happened. When the Japanese knew that the ground troops could not attack him, they would definitely use their most powerful air firepower at that time to harass him.
Li Zhengang ran in breathlessly: "Director, the Japanese planes are coming, and they are bombing all the villages along the way, almost indiscriminately.
The common people suffered a lot.”
A trace of pain flashed across Yu Ye's face. Before the weapon in his hand was made, with the current level of firepower, it could not pose any threat to the Japanese.
After calming himself down, Yu Ye knew that it would be futile to do anything at this time. He believed that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang would do a good job of evacuating the people. All he had to do was to forge an air defense weapon for the independent regiment as quickly as possible.
Yu Ye turned around and shouted to Li Zhengang, "Go ahead, start the furnace for me now, and keep casting cannon barrels according to the method I taught you.
I have to make sure these Japanese air forces never come back."
"Yes."
Li Zhengang did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly followed Yu Ye's instructions to speed up production.
He didn't even dare to look into Yu Ye's eyes, because at this moment Yu Ye was like a tiger waiting for its prey.
