It has been five days since Wang Ping returned to the arsenal station.

There were more than thirty people when they went there, nearly 2,500 people when they came back, and there were also many horses and carts.

Explosives, equipment, copper ingots, and half of the food and 80% of the gold and silver were all taken back by Wang Ping.

As for the nearly 2,500 transport troops, except for the escort troops of the Independent Brigade, all the others were absent from work who had just been rescued.

Although the Independent Brigade suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the Imperial Army captured on the battlefield was enough to make up for the losses. If nearly two thousand absentees were forced to be sent to the Independent Brigade, the Independent Brigade would be severely targeted and brought huge pressure. Therefore, at Wang Ping's suggestion, all two thousand absentees were sent to the military region, and no one in the Independent Brigade would be allowed.

Although Wang Ping is the director of the military arsenal and does not lead troops, he has a very bold idea in his mind.

There are many troops in the military region now, and all 50,000 or 60,000 people are definitely indispensable. However, they are all distributed in every county within the military region, confronting the local Japanese and puppet troops.

Wherever the bullet is attacked, the military region will fall into a dangerous situation of pulling the whole body.

Because no matter where the military region draws troops to reinforce the attacked troops, the enemy and our forces in the dispatched troops will lose balance. If the Japanese and puppet troops there take the opportunity to attack, the situation will become worse and worse.

One of the important reasons for this situation is that both the military region and the military sub-district below are used to expand the base area, and no one can mobilize mobile forces. In Wang Ping's view, this is very dangerous.

This time, Wang Ping brought so many absenteeism back, and planned to express his own opinions to the military region. He hoped that the military region could use these absenteeism to form a mobile unit. The scale did not need to be too large, and it was enough to be a brigade level.

The next day, Wang Ping was about to rush to the military headquarters, and an excited scream came to his ears.

Huang Yu, the instructor responsible for protecting the safety of the arsenal, rushed over happily: "Maintain, good news, Professor Li's machine has been completed, and the copper rod has been successfully punched into bullets, which is very fast. As long as the copper rod is ready-made, at least ten bullets can be stamped out in one minute!"

"So fast!" Wang Ping was stunned at first, and then a huge surprise appeared on his face.

The idea of ​​going to the military region disappeared in an instant, and without saying a word, he decided to say, "Let's go to the temporary arsenal!"

In addition to Professor Li, seven or eight students were lying around a small machine.

Next to the machine, a student was holding a copper rod that he had knocked out in advance and reached into the machine's feed port.

Amid the constant roar, golden bullets ran out of the outlet.

Wang Ping stood beside him and calculated silently, and in one minute he had twelve bullets.

At this time, Professor Li next to him finally saw Wang Ping with a satisfied look on his face, and then walked over with a proud look on his face: "Director Wang, fortunately, I have modified the machine that integrates stamping and cutting. It is perfect to use it to produce bullets."

"The principle of the machine is very simple. The feeding port sends the copper rod to the bullet mold made in advance. Under the drive of the motor, it is stamped into a bullet, and then the cutter cuts the molded bullet and copper rod to separate it!"

"The principle is very simple, and the equipment is also armed very quickly. The only problem is the steel mold for stamping bullets. We polished more than a dozen scraps in succession to produce such a qualified product! It's very difficult, but fortunately we solved the problem!"

"Professor Li, you have made a great contribution to our arsenal! There are ten to twelve bullets in a minute, and twenty-four hours without resting for a day and one night, which is 15,000 bullets in a month, and 450,000 in a month. If we get the bottom fire of the bullet and find a way to build a bullet reinstallation machine, then our arsenal can produce 450,000 bullets in a month, which is enough for a brigade to fight a medium-sized battle!" The excited Wang Ping praised Li Xuebin without hesitation.

"Professor Li, I happen to go to the military region. I will definitely ask you for merit from Commander Nie, the military region!"

Professor Zhou Wuzhou, who had just arrived at the arsenal, came over at some point and said dissatisfied: "Director Wang, I know the bullet bottom fire. If you give me three times, I will definitely get the bottom fire out for you!"

"Okay, I believe you, Professor Zhou. Like Professor Li, as long as you create a bullet fire, I will personally ask you for me. Also, if you have any needs, please tell Instructor Huang that he will satisfy you as much as possible!"

Li Xuebin was unwilling to fall behind and asked: "Manager, didn't you just say you wanted a bullet reinstaller? Now we have developed the most basic cutting machine, drilling machine, milling machine, grinding machine, and processing some basic parts. As long as you give me all the equipment you brought back yesterday, I promise that you will get a bullet reinstaller for you within five days. If the equipment is enough, build a bullet press to further increase the output of the bullet!"

"Give it all to you!" Wang Ping answered without thinking.

Then he stared at the two and asked, "What else is there? I'll solve it together!"

"I'm going to go to the military region. I can't solve the problem. I can ask Commander Nie to help me solve it!"

Li Xuebin did not hesitate and directly suggested: "Director Wang, there must be a problem. The biggest problem is the power of the arsenal!"

"Now, there are only two motors that provide power. The electricity generated is limited and it requires a lot of fuel, which is not cost-effective. When I was in Balding, the Japanese mainly used two steam engines to directly drive the equipment. There are too many equipment here, and it is unrealistic to use steam engines to provide power. Using fuel and electricity, the consumption is too high. Therefore, I plan to use the seized steam engine and motor to assemble two sets of motors driven by steam engines!"

"In this case, only the coal-fired arsenal can operate. However, there are too many things involved in it, and the steam engine is very large after it is finished, so it can only be used in fixed order. So, I hope you can provide the formal arsenal site and arrange an engineer to cooperate with me as the foundation!"

"Yes, instructor, please make arrangements!" Wang Ping agreed without thinking.

With expectations for the future of the arsenal, two thousand absenteeism and a large amount of supplies and gold and silver, Wang Ping, who had been traveling for nearly five hours, finally arrived at the gate of the headquarters.

"Director Wang, I knew that when you come to the military region, you will bring good things to the military region! This time I brought a lot of supplies, and there are so many absenteeism! Tell me what's going on!" The Chief of Staff was happy as soon as he saw Wang Ping's face, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"Reporter Chief, Wang Ping was lucky enough to save Professor Zhou and successfully rescued Professor Zhou. Now Professor Zhou has decided to join the arsenal and his students have stayed for the time being. I have arranged our cadres to do their ideological work and strive to keep them all."

"As for these absenteeism and supplies, we got it back when we were saving people!"

"I was going to be in the first division, but I thought that the military region had no other mobile troops except the guard regiment, so I discussed with the independent journey commander and brought them all back and sent them to the military region!"

"Mobile Force!" Commander Nie was not a fool, and he could hear something in Wang Ping's words. He frowned and stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"Yes, it's the mobile force!" After all, Wang Ping had advanced ideas from this era for decades. Since he saw the current loopholes in the military region, Wang Ping must make up for it. Without any hesitation or concealment, he directly expressed his thoughts!
