After all, the Eighth Route Army is the actual controller of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Although the intelligence network has not achieved the purpose of being deeply rooted, it is still very powerful.
It didn't take long for the military region to learn that both the Japanese and the National Government were looking for the military region's arsenal.
After reading the information sent by the chief of staff, Commander Nie immediately frowned into a big "Sichuan" sign, and then ordered with a serious face.
"Chief of Staff, order the security department to keep a close eye on me during this period. The arsenal is not only the hope of our military region's military industry, but also the hope of the entire Eighth Route Army and the entire party. There must be no accidents!"
"Contact Wang Ping. During this period, all weapons and ammunition in the arsenal will be sealed and will not be transported outside for the time being. The arsenal will be completely blocked and the arsenal will be cut off from the outside world!"
"Commander, please rest assured, the security department is ready!" the chief of staff replied confidently.
"A few days ago, the Japanese intelligence agency was frantically looking for our legendary heavy artillery group. Our security office took advantage of this opportunity to crack several Japanese intelligence points in the base area and arrested hundreds of people!"
"This time, the Security Department plans to crack down on a few more of their intelligence points! Let the Japanese know that our Eighth Route Army's intelligence network is not a vegetarian either!"
"Don't forget the intelligence network in Chiang Kai-shek's hands!" Commander Nie reminded!
"On the surface, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek is cooperating with us, but in fact, Chiang Kai-shek doesn't want to destroy us all the time!"
"Now they are looking for our arsenal with the Japanese, and they must want to destroy it! Maybe they have reached some secret agreement with the Japanese that we don't know about!"
"It's impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to cooperate with the Japanese!" the chief of staff asked with an expression of disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible. Since the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek has used the tactic of killing people with borrowed knives more than once in order to weaken us. It is not impossible to cooperate with the Japanese once to destroy our arsenal. We can't find evidence anyway! In a word, defend
We must pay attention to everything!”
The arsenal is located here. Today, the arsenal has developed into two factories. One factory specializes in the production of grenades and repairing firearms, and the other specializes in the production of reloading bullets.
Wang Ping has been in the factory for almost five days. The bullet stamping equipment and bullet reassembly equipment on the bullet production line were quickly developed because of his experience. Only the bullet case stamping equipment was troublesome. Professor Li and his students
After studying for several days, I still couldn't get the stamping die out.
Wang Ping is also very anxious. The bullet production line has been guaranteed by himself and the commander, and there must be no accidents or abandonment halfway.
Therefore, he stayed with Li Xuebin for several days, and sometimes used some things he had seen in later generations to give opinions.
Just when Wang Ping thought that today would be another day in vain, a cry of surprise suddenly came out of Li Xuebin's mouth.
"It's done, it should be done!"
"Director Wang, we'd better go test the machine now to see if the pressed bullet casings meet the standards!"
The test results are very good. There is almost no difference between the pressed bullet shells and the bullet shells delivered below, and they can be used directly.
The only thing that disappoints Wang Ping is that the efficiency of the bullet case stamping equipment is a bit low. It can only press out less than ten bullet cases in one minute. At this speed, even if it is produced day and night, it can only produce 10,000 bullet cases in a day.
, that is, 10,000 rounds of bullets, which is exactly 30% of the reloading bullet production capacity!
Yang Yong, the political commissar of the arsenal, was very happy: "Director, 300,000 rounds of ammunition a month are enough for our Eighth Route Army to fight a large-scale battle! And if we can build the first bullet production line, we will definitely be able to
The second one comes out, as long as you have the equipment!"
Li Xuebin, who looked excited, affirmed: "Commissar Zhou is right. As long as we have equipment from the mines, plus parts processed by our own machine tools, and a few bullet production lines, there will be no problem at all!"
Wang Ping's mood suddenly improved a lot: "Okay, I will figure out the equipment, and the political commissar you and Professor Li will be responsible for the production!"
"The superior leaders have high hopes for our arsenal. They want money to give money and people to give to people. We must not let down their high expectations!"
Zhou Yong immediately replied: "No problem. Now the arsenal can also produce bullets. I believe that with Professor Li and Professor Zhou, plus the equipment you have brought back, director, the production of artillery shells will not be a problem in the future!"
At this point, Zhou Yong suddenly changed his subject and continued: "The only regret is that we can't produce weapons yet. As long as the problem of barrels and riflings is not solved for one day, our arsenal can only process spare parts to repair firearms. There is no other way.
Production!"
According to the intelligence, the equipment for making gun barrels, or even gun barrels, and rifling can be found too far away.
Before the Anti-Japanese War, Taiyuan Arsenal was one of the largest large-scale arsenals in China. Although the Japanese army transported a lot of equipment outside the customs after occupying the arsenal, Taiyuan Arsenal still retained a lot of equipment.
According to reports from intelligence officers lurking among the mechanics of the arsenal, although the current size of the Taiyuan Arsenal is less than half of its original size, as long as the personnel are organized, there is no problem in producing rifles, machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and even mountain cannons.
As for ammunition, 75mm caliber artillery shells, ordinary mortar shells, and all kinds of bullets can be produced!
However, these equipment are all in Taiyuan City. If you want to get these equipment, there is no other way except taking Taiyuan City.
From the moment he received the information, Wang Ping became jealous of these devices.
As long as these equipment are obtained, and based on the existing foundation of the arsenal, it will not take long for the military region arsenal to develop into the largest arsenal in North China.
And with this arsenal, the overall development strength of the Eighth Route Army will definitely far exceed that in history.
However, he is the director of an arsenal. Even if he has a regiment in hand, if he wants to capture Taiyuan and snatch the equipment out of Taiyuan City, it is a fantasy and impossible to accomplish.
But facing Zhou Yong's longing eyes, and thinking of the expectations of his superiors for the arsenal, Wang Ping swallowed back his words of shirk and rejection as soon as they came to his lips.
Finally, he made a serious promise: "Political commissar, give me a month!"
At the arsenal guard regiment station, Wang Ping came over directly: "Chief of Staff, how is the training of the reconnaissance platoon directly under the guard regiment!"
"They are all trained according to our old rules in the independent regiment. But because the time is too short, compared with the independent regiment's reconnaissance platoon, their combat effectiveness is not even 30% of theirs!"
"Then ask Lao Cheng to borrow troops!" Wang Ping made a decision immediately.
"Go to the Independent Brigade in person and tell Brigadier Cheng that I asked him to borrow a hundred scouts. I want the Scout Company Commander Chen Hu to lead the team and bring a radio station to help me enter Taiyuan City. In ten days,
Tell me everything about the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City, and then lurk!"
"You pick 20 elite men from the reconnaissance platoon and hand them over to Chen Hu and let him command the operation in a unified manner!"
Chen Hu opened his mouth out of shock and didn't react for a long time.
He stared at Wang Ping for half a minute before tentatively asking: "Captain, you want to attack Taiyuan!"
