Hu Changyi thought well, and Minister Zhang supported the construction of 120mm mortars. Seeing Hu Changyi leaving in a hurry, Minister Zhang quickly stopped him, but he didn't explain anything.

"Changyi, don't rush to leave. How much do you plan to build your heavy mortar?" Minister Zhang didn't ask if it could be built, but only asked how much to build it.

"This...Minister Zhang, let me tell you honestly. According to my opinion, whether it is the 82 force or the 120 force, you can create as much as you can, the more the better! My idea is that it is a group, and there must be such a 7 or 82 force as a gang. Let's give each battalion four or five 82 force?"

"Actually, there is also a 60mm caliber mortar, which is suitable for first-class equipment. But we have grenade launchers and the effect is also good, so I didn't go to trick in that! Minister Zhang, you also know my idea, that is, firepower is the first! The stronger the firepower, the better, and I am invincible within the range of machine guns and cannons!"

Facing the elders of Minister Zhang and others who are both elders and relatives, Hu Changyi never hides his thoughts. He knows that the elders all understand him.

"You guy, you really dare to think about it! There is also a regiment equipped with seven or eight gates. It would be so beautiful if your brigade commander had a few mountain cannons. If he knew what you thought, you could still build so many mortars. Do you believe that your brigade commander could build an artillery regiment?" said Minister Zhang.

"Hehe, then the relationship is good. It's best for our headquarters to directly form several artillery regiments, plus the anti-aircraft machine gun air defense forces, we can also fight the Japanese division!" Hu Changyi said.

"The idea is good, but we have to eat one bite and the road has to be taken step by step. Our road is still long. This time, if Li Yunlong and the others had not made great contributions and seized so many rails, according to our current production capacity, we would be able to cut off the meal immediately."

"So, you try to get this heavy mortar first, and then... build forty or fifty doors, let's try how the effect is. If possible, let's build more!" Minister Zhang considered the scale of the arsenal and then said a reasonable quantity.

"Okay, listen to you! However, when the comrades see the effect of this heavy mortar, hehe, I'm afraid they will cry and shout to us to build more!" Hu Changyi understood the desire of the front-line comrades to suppress and cover the powerful firepower. Well, who doesn't want to give the Japanese a shelling first when charging?

"You boy..." Minister Zhang shook his head and continued, "Even if there are mortars, you need so many artillery soldiers! Okay, I'll give you good news. Your artillery troops can be formed! According to your idea, your guerrilla brigade will form an artillery company, and then form an artillery platoon for each of the two main battalions. The size of the artillery company is set at 10 82 yards, and the artillery platoon is 4 82 yards, and the artillery platoon is 82 yards."

"Really? They have only been studying for a few days? Is it taking shape?" Hu Changyi was talking about Xin Lu and the artillery soldiers sent to learn from Director Zhao.

"Old Zhao is a magic gunner and a good teacher. Besides, the ones you sent have been trained in practice and have a certain foundation, so you can learn quickly. Of course, Lao Zhao said that you will have to graduate completely at the end of this month at the earliest. So, you have a month to pull up the shelf!"

"In addition, the leaders are quite satisfied with the production situation of our arsenal. When I went to the meeting, I heard the leaders and the regiment leaders praise you in my ears, saying that you can match the combat effectiveness of our regiment alone. However, I warn you not to be upset and work hard!"

Minister Zhang actually hopes that the guerrilla brigade has its own artillery unit. The reason is that the existence of the guerrilla brigade is the garrison of the arsenal. The stronger the firepower of the garrison, will the safety of the arsenal be guaranteed?

According to Minister Zhang's intention, it is best to increase the size of the guerrilla brigade to a large group of more than 2,000 people, and at least four main infantry battalions. However, Hu Changyi is a firepower-first person who advocates firepower and has been improving the equipment of the guerrilla brigade. This has dispelled Minister Zhang's willingness to expand the scale.

Thinking about it, it was also true that it was backed by the arsenal, with sufficient ammunition supply, all veterans were holding semi-automatic, there were machine guns, grenade launchers, shotguns in the platoon, machine guns, and a large number of precision shooters and snipers.

Such two battalions are more powerful than the traditional three battalions or even four battalions. Now, if you add some mortar force to the guerrilla brigade, the combat power of this guerrilla brigade is enough to have a large group of combat power.

"Don't worry, Minister Zhang, I will never be upset! Are you still in trouble? I'll start to build the framework of the artillery company now!" Hu Changyi also hoped to get the mortar company started soon. By the way, our arsenal has built more than 100 doors alone, so why should we use it yourself?

In fact, it is a miserable thing to think about it. Minister Zhang thought it was very good to have such a small amount of mortars and grenade launchers produced. Let’s look at Mao Xiong’s family in the north. During the entire war, the Soviet Union produced 834,000 artillery pieces, of which 348,000 were mortars.

Think about the Eighth Route Army again... It seems that the highest number of Eighth Route Army is only more than 400,000... It can't compare. Moreover, these people have developed from the first more than 40,000 people, and not all of these more than 40,000 people have entered here.

But what in the end? When these people were equipped, they showed great combat power. Just when the Henan, Xiang and Guizhou were defeated, we were recapturing the county town quite a while. Even if we did not recapture the county town, the Japanese would not dare to go out of the city to explode the thorns.

"If you have something, of course you have something to do!" Minister Zhang took a sip of hot water for soaking wolfberry, and then said: "I just received a telegram from the headquarters that the Japanese were working with the army of dried fruits in Sui County and Zaoyang!" Minister Zhang finished speaking, looking at Hu Changyi waiting for him.

"When the battle is Suzao? The Japanese still want to force the dried fruit to surrender through force... What instructions does the headquarters have?" Hu Changyi asked.

"The headquarters has no instructions, just to let you pay attention to your own safety and ensure the production of the arsenal. In addition, build more rocket launchers and rockets this month, which sometimes we need them!" Minister Zhang said.

"I understand... Is there any battle?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Well, there is no such thing for the time being, but whether it is the Jizhong Plain or the Shandong Mountain Area, they are all places that face the main force of the Japanese division. You will encounter the Japanese armored troops. Build more and send them to them, which is better than not when used!" Minister Zhang said.
Chapter completed!
