After the dark horse Zhangzhuang battle, the 120th Division had no trouble with the Japs for the time being, and the Japs were unable to fight again. At this stage, it was time for each of them to be in a stalemate.

Therefore, the headquarters took advantage of this gap and asked the cavalry regiment to bring Jiuzhaigou's packhorse transport capacity, and traveled across the mountains and ridges day and night to deliver weapons and ammunition to this side to enhance their combat effectiveness.

Although the 716th Regiment captured a lot of money in the Black Horse Zhangzhuang battle, it also consumed a lot of ammunition. This time was a great supplement. Commander Huang was so happy that he was smiling all day long.

Now the main force of the division has been transferred from the west of Hejian to the Reclining Buddha Hall, Qihui, and Guoguantun areas on the east of Hejian. It is more than 40 miles away from Hejian City in the southwest and Renqiu City in the northwest.

Other county towns also have seventy or eighty miles of land, which is the middle zone of each county town.

It is worth mentioning that this place is very close to Baiyangdian...

In the blink of an eye, the time has arrived in April, the river has melted, the willow trees have sprouted young leaves, and the poplar trees have hung red on the treetops, making the greedy children want to climb the trees.

Poplar bamboo is actually the flower of a poplar tree. It grows on a special kind of poplar tree. The specific variety is not known. However, this one is edible...

At the end of March, Hu Changyi made some summary of the product output of the arsenal.

This month, the Civilian 24th manufactured 40 guns; 100 serial machine guns, 280 Kirali light machine guns, and 380 semi-automatic rifles. The output of these guns, including spare barrels, cannot be consumed.

Discount the output of gun barrels. Because the output of gun barrels is 2,000.

However, after sorting out the excess barrels with the best quality, they were all packed and sent to the arsenal and workshops below. As for how many horse rifles and shotguns could be made, that was not up to Hu Changyi's control.

Then, there was a breakthrough in the production of 82 guns this month. A total of 30 guns were built, and 300 grenade launchers were also built. Although this thing is called a cannon, its structure is simpler than that of a rifle. After solving the drawing process

After the problem, production increased rapidly.

What mainly affects production is actually the limitation of steel. The grenade can be made from rail steel. 82 Force Hu Changyi has been waiting for Luda's high-quality barrel steel. Whatever Luda can make here, the arsenal will make it.

How many.

The key is that this year, the 129th Division did not attack the Ping-Han Railway and other railways. The rails accumulated in the past are not enough. Moreover, the arsenal below also needs rails for production activities, and the number of rails Jiuzhai received is also much less.

.

Especially after the arsenal below produced shotguns and shotguns, the rails, steel and other materials obtained by the guerrillas were directly taken to the arsenal below to exchange for things. For them, shotguns and shotguns were more suitable for their battles.

, the Type 81 horse rifle is also good.

They are all ordinary people who have just put down their hoes and picked up guns to fight the Japanese. Their marksmanship... Sometimes it is better to give them shotguns than to give them horses and rifles.

And it is also because the grenade technology in the arsenal below is getting better and better, so the pressure on Jiuzhai Arsenal's grenade production is not so great. However, this month it still maintains the output of 60,000 military grenades.

60,000 may seem like a lot, but considering that the Eighth Route Army has reached the number of 270,000 and is still gradually expanding, this output is nothing. The key is that these outputs are placed among women in each village.

The production team comes to produce, and each team can only produce more than 200 products a day.

Well, the power of the masses is huge, this is true at all. If this is produced at full capacity, ordinary people can assemble tens of thousands of them a day.

With so few hand grenades manufactured, a lot of explosives were saved, right? It was indeed saved, but it was all filled into grenade grenades and 82 mortar shells.

The drill press and lathe of the arsenal was allocated to the artillery workshop, which produces an average of 300 grenades and 100 82 mortar shells a day. In this month, 3,000 82 mortar shells and grenade grenades were produced.

It's 9000.

The weight of the grenade grenade is about 600 grams, which is mainly due to the weight of the tail fin and the amount of propellant; while the 82 mortar shell weighs about 4 kilograms, so its lethality is enough to have a radius of 20 meters to 25 meters.

The combined weight of these shells would weigh several Li Yunlongs.

Well, if the chief exchanges 5 tons of artillery shells for one Li Yunlong, Jiuzhai can make several Li Yunlongs in a month...

Since he already had the 82 mortars, Hu Changyi planned to set up the artillery battery of the guerrilla brigade of the Zangzangchang. However, Minister Zhang opposed the establishment so quickly, and instead sent these mortars and artillery shells away.

Of course, Hu Changyi was not in a hurry about this matter, because with the approval of the headquarters, the artillery training class organized by the division headquarters started. The master artilleryman Lao Zhao, the director of the artillery headquarters of the 129th Division, finally had a place to use to train artillery for the troops.

.

How could Hu Changyi let such a good thing pass? This was originally his suggestion. Therefore, the artillerymen who had originally been selected to study with Zhuzi for a period of time were packed up by Hu Changyi and sent to Director Zhao to study...

After producing the products, sending them away, and bringing in raw materials, the arsenal has entered another busy month.

In the warehouse, Minister Zhang looked at the empty warehouse with some reluctance. The shells that were originally full were now sent to the front line.

"Changyi, when your artillery company and artillery platoon are formed, your regiment will be the best-equipped regiment in our Eighth Route Army!" Minister Zhang said when he saw Hu Changyi standing aside in a daze.

"What you said makes sense! In fact, without these mortars, our guerrilla brigade's equipment is also the best in the army, right? At most, it doesn't have long-range suppressive artillery fire! However, regiment-level unit operations, especially when encountering Japanese

The regiment, without suppressive artillery fire, is at a huge disadvantage!" Hu Changyi said.

"You still want to fight with the Japanese in a regiment? But after all, the number of mortars in your regiment is more than the number of artillery in a Japanese regiment. A Japanese regiment has 4 mountain cannons and 6 92 infantry

Artillery, the field troops also have rapid-fire artillery, which has plenty of firepower!" Minister Zhang said.

"Actually, when fighting in the mountains, we can still fight against the Japanese field regiment. Forget it in the plain areas, the range and accuracy of artillery can't match others. But our brigade can do it! There are a lot of mountains to run in.

!" Hu Changyi said.
