Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Chief Engineer Wang was beaming with joy and was very excited: "This gun is great!"

"Judging from the drawings, this gun is very cleverly designed."

"If it can be produced, it will not only ensure efficient firing rate and powerful lethality but also stable accuracy on the battlefield."

"There's also this triangular bayonet, with a foldable design. It can be folded away when not in use, without affecting combat. When pulled out for hand-to-hand combat, it becomes a spear. The bayonet also has a triangular design, which prevents it from stabbing the enemy. It has multiple bleeding holes, reduces pressure, and allows for smooth withdrawal."

"Genius design"

With Chief Engineer Wang's affirmation, several platoon leaders were dumbfounded.

Several platoon leaders also understood that this triangular bayonet was worth using. When the Red Army fought hand-to-hand, they often used broadswords and triangular flat-headed red tassel spears. Sometimes they cut deep into the enemy and it was difficult to pull it out, which wasted time.

On the battlefield, a moment of distraction means a life

Such a good gun, that soldier doesn't want it

Several platoon leaders reacted immediately

"Company Commander, new guns are out, give them to our second platoon first."

"Lao Gao, why do you want everything? Lao Wang, we worked in the same arsenal before. When the new guns come out, give us a row first."

"Old Zhao, you're also being disrespectful to Old Gao. Let's reserve the third row first."

"What? Our machine gun platoon is the fire output. This new gun is used by our machine gun platoon."

"That won't do. Our logistics platoon is also very important. Without us, what will you eat and drink? You must first give us the logistics platoon."

Li Yan was a little overwhelmed: "Okay, stop arguing."

"Old squad leader, why are you the same as these rascals?"

The old squad leader smiled and said shamelessly: "Company Commander, the gun is the soldier's wife. If I don't take back such a good wife, those guys in the logistics platoon will definitely not let me go."

Li Yan was helpless: "Okay, we don't know if this gun can be produced yet, let's ask Chief Engineer Wang first."

Chief Engineer Wang thought for a moment and said, "With this blueprint and the machinery we have at our arsenal, we can definitely produce a prototype gun in three days at most."

“However, mass production is difficult. It’s not a process problem, but a raw material problem.”

"The barrel and bayonet of this gun have certain requirements for steel quality, and our craftsmanship is not up to par."

Li Yan smiled and said, "I thought it was some other question."

"Chief Engineer Wang, I have a method for making steel here. This method requires more than a dozen heat treatment processes, including quenching, hardening, high-temperature tempering, oxidation, etc. We have blacksmiths in our arsenal, let them try it."

This is the later generation 50A high-quality carbon structural steel, which is now used in AK47.

Chief Engineer Wang took the process steps handed over by Li Yan and looked at them. He said excitedly: "I don't know how to copy steel. I will ask the blacksmith to try it later."

"If this works, our Arsenal will be on a new level."

Li Yan saw that everything was explained and was ready to let everyone go back, but no one wanted to leave and just stared at him.

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Chief Engineer Wang smiled and said, "Company Commander, we are waiting for you."

"See if you have anything good left to show."

Li Yan immediately understood what everyone meant and said with a headache: "You think I'm a god, but these things are killing me."

"What else do you want?"

Zhao Wu said: "Captain, we are only first-year soldiers. I only know that you are good at fighting, but I have never seen you have these abilities."

Gao Xuan also said: "Yes, Captain, we have been sleeping together for such a long time, what else are you hiding from us?"

Only the stonemason and squad leader Zhang Dong remained silent. They had been in the company for a short time, but they were all very curious.

Li Yan saw that he had to explain this matter clearly, so he continued to lie: "Didn't I say before that when I was a child I met a master who could tell fortunes? In fact, my master was a hermit master who knew everything about astronomy and geography."

"I only studied with him for three years and only learned the basics."

Gao Xuan's eyes widened at this time: "Company Commander, you have encountered a miracle as the storyteller said, no wonder you are so powerful, this time I am convinced"

Zhao Wu and the stonemason nodded seriously.

Only Zhang Dong, Chief Engineer Wang, and the old squad leader were still a little skeptical. As for the things Li Yan brought out today, which one was not something that China did not have at present? How could a Chinese know all this? But he did not expose it.

Li Yan also saw that Zhang Dong, Chief Engineer Wang, and the old squad leader didn't believe it, but they had no evidence. However, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Has there been any change in our troops this week?"

The old squad leader smiled and said, "I thought you forgot that we still have a unit."

"Good things have been happening a lot recently. Let Comrade Zhang Dong tell us about it."

Zhang Dong also smiled and said, "Company Commander, you have been in seclusion for a week. We have dozens or even hundreds of people joining the Red Army every day. Now there are more than 1000 new recruits."

Li Yan thought he had stayed in the cave for too long and was hallucinating. He looked at the old squad leader in confusion.

The old squad leader smiled and said, "Company Commander, do you still remember the civilians who were evacuated from Anping Town?"

Li Yan was even more confused: "Didn't I tell them to go back now that our position has been exposed? What do all these new recruits have to do with the people of Anping Town?"

The old squad leader said: "It's a big deal."

"When the people of Anping heard that many innocent people in Shuangyang and Gutian were massacred, they were worried about the enemy's retaliation."

"Plus, the third platoon was fighting in the north at the time, and the people of Anping Town saw the soldiers fighting bravely."

"The people are moved by our soldiers and they believe we can protect them."

"The people of Anping County decided to stay and even sent their children to our Red Army."

"They said that we, the Red Army, are the people's soldiers. As long as we are here, we will not be oppressed by landlords, corrupt governments, and cold-blooded armies, and we can live a good life for a few days."

"Not only that, after the battle of Meishan, the news spread everywhere, and many people from nearby counties, towns and villages moved to the vicinity of Meishan. There are already tens of thousands of people."

After hearing this, Li Yan did not feel happy, but felt the pressure on him increased.

"Chief Engineer Wang, please don't worry about the rest of the time. Take your people and try to produce guns."

"Old squad leader, you should also bring back penicillin and battlefield first aid, and let the logistics platoon take the time to try them out and learn from them."

"In ten minutes, all officers above the platoon level will gather in the command room for a meeting."
