On January 10, 1941, the 68th Division was temporarily established in Qijiang County.
The Kirali KE7 light machine gun was developed by two designers Kirali and Ende. It adopts the automatic principle of short recoil of the barrel, so there is no duct structure. Instead, there is a long handguard under the barrel. The front end of the handguard has a foldable It has a bipod, a heat-dissipating sleeve with a large hole on the barrel, and a short, slightly trumpet-shaped flash hider at the muzzle.
Unlike most light machine guns at the time, which used top-feeding ammunition, the Kirali KE7 used the same bottom magazine as the Browning light machine gun to feed ammunition, which made the gun look somewhat similar to some later models of assault rifles. It uses 7.5x55mm ammunition, has a curved magazine capacity of 20 rounds, and has two shooting modes: semi-automatic and fully automatic.
The Kirali KE7 gun weighs 8 kilograms, is 1.19 meters long, has an initial bullet velocity of 700 meters per second, a theoretical maximum rate of fire of 450~550 rounds per minute, and a maximum range of 2,000 meters. The actual combat distance is the same as that of Zb26 and other light machine guns.
Because they were not popular in their own country and had no competitiveness in neighboring European countries, they only produced a small amount and then targeted the overseas market. Both my country and Ethiopia in Africa purchased them one after another, and the production volume was only average.
In the 1930s, our country purchased a total of 3,025 Kilali KE7 light machine guns and recognized its performance. The Huaxing Machinery Factory controlled by the warlord surnamed Liu in Sichuan Province measured and copied it.
The caliber of the imitation version of the machine gun was changed to 7.62 mm to facilitate the same caliber as the rifle, and the magazine was changed to a 25-round capacity. It is said that more than 6,000 of them were produced in total, and it became the standard light machine gun of the Sichuan Army. It is also equipped by other local forces such as the Guangdong Army.
In this time and space, this thing is used all the way to the Changde Defense Battle by the Tiger Guards. These guns were still preserved in large numbers even after the Anti-Japanese War, and they also participated in the Goryeo War with the volunteer army.
However, because the production and processing capacity of Huaxing Machinery Factory was not as good as that of the original factory, the air tightness of the gun was lacking, so the performance of the gun was greatly reduced, and the distribution of bullet impact points was very scattered. It is said that the Ordnance Industry Administration stopped production of the Kirali machine gun under this excuse. Later, , after the warlord surnamed Liu died, even covert production ceased to exist.
"Why did you choose the Kirali machine gun? Aren't they all in northern Shaanxi trying to produce the Czech style?" Wang Yue didn't understand. Since northern Shaanxi has started to produce the Czech style on a small scale, right? Why not produce the Czech style if it can solve the manufacturing problem of gun barrels?
"Forget it, there are no complete sets of production drawings, standard fixtures and templates. The Czech-style light machine gun we made has only average shooting effect, and the failure rate is high. The parts are not universal. We don't have the conditions to support us yet, but It's different at Huaxing Machinery Factory. Everything is ready-made. I also dug up a few laid-off old masters, so I wanted to try to make some top-loading light machine guns and slap them with imported trademarks. At least one can do it. Sold for five hundred oceans." Li Yunlong said with a bit of regret in his tone. According to technician Hans, it would take at least three months to solve all the technical and material problems, which is really a pity.
"What kind of Kirali light machine gun are you building? Lao Li, I will get you the technical data and equipment of the DP28 light machine gun. When the time comes, we will go straight to the market." Wang Yue curled his lips. The Kirali light machine gun is indeed good. , but he always believed that the dp28 light machine gun was the most suitable for the war at this stage. It has a simple design, low precision, moderate rate of fire, mediocre accuracy and range. Lao Li even replaced heavy machine guns with those light machine guns equipped with 100 bullet discs. combat unit, but what Lao Li didn't know was that this thing has a belt conversion module. As long as you add that thing, you can directly load the belt. With the thickened and lengthened barrel, it is a heavy machine gun. I am afraid it is not the best in the world today. The lightest heavy machine gun, right?
mG42? Don't be ridiculous, that thing is indeed good, but what can I say, it is definitely not suitable for us to use. It is too heavy to use as a light machine gun. With the physical fitness of our soldiers, there are not many suitable machine gunners at all? As a heavy machine gun, the firepower sustainability is not very good. The barrel has to be replaced soon in actual combat. In order to avoid the chamber exploding, the secondary shooter usually replaces the barrel in advance, which makes the firepower sustainability even worse. .
There is also the terrifying rate of fire of mG42 and mG34. A bullet chain will disappear in a short time. The ammunition carried by a machine gun group cannot last long, but the poor logistics and traffic conditions cannot guarantee the ammunition at all. In addition, the DP28 is different. The rate of fire is medium, which saves a lot of money. It is also easier to control the rate of fire and the burst fire effect is better.
"Old Wang, can you get Da Panji's process data and equipment?" Li Yunlong's tone was full of surprise, and his eyes sparkled. Da Panji is not the best machine gun he has ever used, but it is the best. The machine guns you master do not require high maintenance and are adaptable to complex battlefield environments. They can still shoot even if they are placed in mud, water and sand.
The 47-round bullet plate has good vitality and sustainability. In ordinary encounters, one bullet plate is often enough, and there is no need to change the bullet plate at all. This is something that the Japanese machine guns cannot do at all. As for the Czech style, Just that small 20-round magazine?
"No problem. I will get a complete set of process data and production equipment for you soon. Lao Li, just wait and count the money." Wang Yue smiled. Lolicon has a small arms production base in Binzhou. The National Type 53 light machine gun was produced back then. Although times have changed, but according to the stingy style of Lolicon, those process materials, special fixtures, templates, etc. must have been sealed. As for the equipment, if it is left, it will be left. Let Lolicon help you save one. With so many arsenals in Binzhou, it shouldn't be a problem to get a set of machine gun production equipment.
Don’t be afraid of the suspicion of lolicon fans. In 2023, the big chicken thing has appeared on the battlefields in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Even the matching 7.62 mm rifle ammunition is almost sold out. At best, it is the production of machine guns that the organization wants to be self-reliant.
"But Hans's technician said that the quality of the workers we have trained so far is not good enough to meet the current production requirements, but it is not possible to produce sophisticated weapons and equipment. Even if we want to produce Kirali light machine guns, they must be used in large quantities in key positions. Technician Hans." Li Yunlong was also a little embarrassed, and the problem was back to the original point.
"Old Li, in fact, the purpose of organizing industrial production is not to make money. The ultimate goal is to train qualified technical workers. Just the light machine guns I have in my hand may not be able to be manufactured in a few years. As for other things , I can also provide it in unlimited quantities, so we still need to cultivate talents, a large number of talents." Wang Yue also felt helpless. The illiteracy rate was extremely high and the level of education was low. These are undeniable facts.
"Technician Hans believes that we should establish a special technician training school based on the current training courses to continuously train skilled workers. However, I asked several experts from the Ministry of Education and they all think that our conditions are not yet sufficient. Run a school." Li Yunlong looked disappointed. His family knew about his family affairs. The most educated people in Qijiang County's industrial system are junior high school students. Here, the number of junior high school students who have actually graduated is only a few dozen. The five-digit worker base. There are only a few dozen junior high school graduates, not even a high school student.
As for the so-called lecturers trained by the mountain city government, most of them are junior primary school students with good skills, some of whom can't even read Chinese characters. If they expect such teachers to provide education and training, it's no wonder those guys from the Ministry of Education don't Take a good look.
"Don't we have Hans technicians?" Wang Yue asked in confusion. He didn't want to comment too much on the experts from the Ministry of Education. Technical schools have different methods. When Wang Yue was in junior high school, his school had one. In this technical school, there is only one teacher who leads dozens of poor students, who fight and fight every day, and then organizes the students to learn simple mechanical processing, and they are 100% guaranteed to be employed after graduation.
And what is the academic qualification of that teacher? Apparently it's a technical secondary school, right? But according to what I said, that person actually caught up with the turmoil after graduating from elementary school. He didn't even go to junior high school, but he just taught students and did a good job.
"The number of translators is limited, and they have to work closely with the production line. Moreover, the quality of the translators is also average. They often have to carry a dictionary with them. Not only that, the translators from northern Shaanxi do not know the local dialect, and it is difficult to communicate with the locals. You have to make gestures and guess." Li Yunlong really wanted to say that Bao Baobao felt miserable. When the government cooperated with Hans, it trained a lot of Hansi translators, but few of those translators could speak the local dialect. Some There are none, so most of the workers who come from Hansi can only be used as front-line workers, which is very wasteful.
"Hansi workers can be allowed to learn Chinese and local dialects. Their cultural level is not low and they should not be slow to learn. We can set a reward target for them. Anyone who can master the local dialect Chinese within a month will We can take their families over and help them settle down in Qijiang. You know what the situation is in Europe now, and they will not refuse." Wang Yue smiled, this is a misunderstanding, okay? Why does it have to be Let’s learn Chinese and let Hans take the initiative to learn, shouldn’t we?
"One month? Isn't the time too tight?" Li Yunlong was a little hesitant. When he visited Europe, he took a booklet to learn Chinese every day, but until now, he only knows a certain amount of daily vocabulary. I can relate to the difficulty of learning a language.
"We only have a few Hanse people here. Later I will buy millions of study manuals and Hanse dictionaries and send them to Europe. As long as you learn the Sichuan dialect and Chinese, you can get a visa first. Don't worry, tens of millions There are always a lot of language geniuses in the population. You have to know that in Europe it is not just Hans who is running concentration camps. In fact, the practices of each country are similar. There are naturally many people who are eager to immigrate. No need to It's enough that ten thousand people can act as translators a month." Wang Yue didn't believe that those guys would refuse a chance to live. As long as one person learns it, the whole family can survive. What else is more valuable than doing this? Of?
