"Bah bang bang..." Not long after, a burst of gunfire rang out in the valley not far from the arsenal.
Ten soldiers, each with ten rounds of bullets, fired at targets of fifty meters, one hundred meters, one hundred fifty meters, and two hundred meters. Not long after, the gunfire stopped.
Commander Nie's security platoon leader rushed over and reported: "Chief, there is no difference between these bullets and the new bullets captured by the Japanese. So the bullets all hit the target. There is no difference from the bullets I usually use, and the passing rate of the bullets is also
Very high, there is only one dud out of a hundred reloaded bullets!”
"Okay, okay! Wang Ping, your arsenal has made great contributions. When I get back, I will ask you for credit from the headquarters as soon as possible!" The smile on Commander Nie's face grew wider, and he praised without hesitation.
"Thank you, Commander. This is mainly due to Professor Li and Professor Zhou. I suggest that when the headquarters sets their technical level, they can set an additional level as a reward. At the same time, it can also encourage the enthusiasm of other people in the arsenal to learn.
!" Wang Ping said modestly.
"Okay, I will make a suggestion to the headquarters!" Commander Nie agreed without thinking about it.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and ordered: "Professor Li said that by adding another bullet stamping machine, the production of reloading bullets can be increased to 800,000 rounds a month. I request the arsenal to increase the production of reloading bullets as soon as possible.
If possible, add one or two more bullet reloading production lines. For our Eighth Route Army, the more bullets, the better!"
"In addition, if you have any requirements, just ask. If it can satisfy the arsenal, I will definitely satisfy it. If not, I will create conditions to satisfy it!"
"I really have a few requests!" Wang Ping did not hesitate!
"The first requirement is bullet casings. Just relying on the arsenal to collect them yourself is definitely unrealistic and cannot meet the needs of the arsenal!"
"On the battlefield, the Japanese and puppet troops can take away their weapons, but they will never take away the bullet casings. I hope the commander can mobilize all the main forces, local troops, and even guerrillas in the military region to collect bullet casings as much as possible! In addition,
, the arsenal will not let them collect it in vain. Anyone who takes the initiative to send bullet casings to the arsenal can exchange two bullet casings for a reloading bullet at the arsenal!"
"No problem, I guarantee that after this order is issued, the commanders and regimental leaders below will definitely be crazy about it!" Commander Nie agreed directly.
"The military region is so big, we have troops fighting with the Japs almost every day. The Japs have enough ammunition, and we never consider the consumption of ammunition when fighting. Often we can attract dozens or even dozens of Japs with one bullet.
Hundreds of rounds of ammunition.”
"I'm sure that after this order is issued, the troops below will definitely take the initiative to seek bad luck against the Japanese, not for anything else but for the bullet casings left on the battlefield after the Japanese retreat!"
Wang Ping assured loudly: "Please rest assured, chief, we will increase the output of the arsenal as soon as possible. By then, the reloading bullets from the arsenal will definitely be able to meet the needs of the front-line troops!"
Commander Nie was very satisfied with this answer, and at the same time believed that Wang Ping would be able to do it since he said it.
Then he continued to ask: "What other requests are there, please put them all together?"
"Reloading bullets also requires copper and gunpowder, and it is also a high explosive. Therefore, I hope that these materials can be seized by the military districts and sent to the military districts!"
"Also, copper ingots and gunpowder cannot all rely on front-line combat troops. The arsenal must also find a way!"
“My idea is to co-exist with capture and production!”
"We can carry out small-scale mining around the copper mines discovered by the Japanese, and then secretly transport the ore back to the military area for smelting~"
"As for gunpowder, I will ask Professor Zhou to organize students to conduct research to see if we can produce it on a large scale ourselves."
"As for seizures, in addition to relying on front-line combat troops, our arsenal itself also needs to carry out targeted attacks, specializing in attacking Japanese mines and troops transporting ore. However, in this way, the defensive strength of the arsenal will be insufficient. Therefore, I would like to ask the chief
We need two more companies!"
"Do you want to fight again?" Commander Nie stared at Wang Ping and asked sharply.
"I have this idea!" Wang Ping didn't hide it!
"I agree to your request!" This time, Commander Nie thought for almost half a minute before agreeing.
Just when a hint of surprise flashed across Wang Ping's face, Commander Nie changed the subject and continued: "If you want to fight, I won't stop you. However, the development of the arsenal cannot be left behind. After one month, the monthly output of reloaded bullets will
Breaking through 800,000 rounds, in half a year, the bullet reloading output will reach 3 million rounds!"
"If possible, the arsenal should be able to produce its own bullets, mortar shells, and even rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and artillery!"
The arsenal has produced reloadable bullets in such a short period of time. Commander Nie, who was not optimistic about the arsenal at first, is now full of confidence in the future of the arsenal.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff blurted out an excited voice before he could reach the deputy commander-in-chief.
"Boss, good news, starting from today, we have our own arsenal!"
The deputy commander was stunned at first, and then asked with a look of confusion: "Arsenal? Don't we already have one?"
"It was about setting up an arsenal! It's different now. Our arsenal in Wutai has begun mass production of ammunition."
"This is a telegram from Lao Nie. Now the arsenal has begun to reload bullets. Fifteen thousand rounds of bullets are reloaded daily. In one month, the output can reach 30,000 rounds. This is just the output of a reloading production line.
Old Nie said that the arsenal is trying to build a second or even a third bullet reloading production line. By then, the arsenal will produce nearly 100,000 reloading bullets a day!"
"How is the quality of the bullets? We have done this in the Soviet area before. The quality is so poor that the soldiers don't want to use them!"
"Very good, Lao Nie said in the telegram. It is no different from the new bullet. The pass rate is over 95%!"
"In addition, Lao Nie also said that the arsenal will launch grenades next and strive to mass-produce grenades within a month!"
"Then we will directly produce bullets and artillery shells ourselves!"
"There is also good news. Apart from the barrel, they can polish and produce all other parts of a rifle themselves. Therefore, Lao Nie hopes that the Intelligence Department of the headquarters will pay more attention to where there is equipment for manufacturing barrels, and try to bring some back. In this way,
As soon as we come here, we can produce our own rifles!”
At this time, the boss had no other words to describe his current mood except shock.
In just a short time, an arsenal started producing from scratch.
After the shock, the boss's face was covered with huge surprise, and then he ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the troops below. In future wars, collect all the bullet casings for me. When the time comes, I will use these bullet casings and
Lao Nie is doing business and changing bullets!"
"Old Nie said in the telegram that as long as it is an Eighth Route Army unit, two bullet casings can be exchanged for one bullet at the arsenal!"
"In addition, if the troops seize a large amount of high explosives and copper ingots, they must be sent to Wutai. These are necessary raw materials for reloading bullets. The arsenal can exchange them for bullets, and the troops will never suffer a loss!"
"Old Nie, all the business comes to me. However, I like this kind of business!" the deputy commander directly affirmed.
"Chief of Staff, you are here to issue the order. Although the production of reloaded bullets cannot satisfy the entire army, for our Eighth Route Army, it can already solve many problems!"
