Commander Chen replied with a wry smile: "If he really planned to keep these heavy weapons for himself, I wouldn't call you into the conference room to discuss this matter in secret!"
"Wang Ping, what kind of trouble is he planning to do again?" The political commissar's brows suddenly furrowed.
He hates and loves Wang Ping at the same time...
I love him because he is so capable, not only has a vicious vision, but also knows how to fight. In just a short time, he managed to turn a remnant regiment into the most powerful group in the military region... no, the main group with the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire Eighth Route Army.
Not only that, he also built a huge base covering nine counties from scratch in such a short period of time.
As for hatred, it was because Wang Ping was so good at causing trouble.
Every time you accomplish something great, something will definitely happen, or something will happen!
Commander Chen hesitated and replied: "He plans to take out twelve heavy artillery pieces and ten tanks for the World War II zone, that is, the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"No, absolutely not," the political commissar refused without thinking!
"Our relationship with the World War II zone has become more and more delicate. If a conflict breaks out in the future, we may become an opponent. Giving them heavy artillery and tanks won't increase the strength of our opponent?"
"Commander, I am firmly opposed...I would rather blow up those heavy artillery and tanks than give them to the World War II zone or the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"I don't agree with that either!" the chief of staff added.
Commander Chen shook his head and replied: "Don't object in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say!"
"Wang Ping, you don't know that he is the kind of person who suffers losses?"
"Twelve heavy artillery and ten tanks can form a heavy artillery regiment and a tank battalion in the hands of the Jinsui Army. Wang Ping has no intention of giving them to them for free, but wants to exchange some things from them!"
"I still don't agree... Heavy artillery and tanks can't be bought now even if you have money, and I really can't think of anything that can match those heavy artillery and tanks..." The chief of staff has long been envious of those heavy artillery and did not hesitate.
Refuse!
"Two bullet production lines, a mortar shell production line, plus a grenade production line, and a thousand submachine guns..." Commander Chen tried his best to suppress his inner excitement and answered with his weapons as calmly as possible.
The political commissar and chief of staff, who had been opposed just now, suddenly fell silent.
If it was a weapon, even if Wang Ping could exchange it for a brigade of equipment, the two of them would refuse without hesitation.
However, this is not a weapon, it is equipment for producing weapons.
Commander Chen continued: "Wang Ping said at 1:30 that as our strength becomes stronger and stronger, the Japanese know more and more about us. Now we are fighting against the Japanese army, although we can still capture many weapons that the Japanese army has no time to destroy. But
, but very little ammunition was seized, and sometimes even the battlefield consumption could not be replenished."
"It can be seen that the Japanese have now begun to guard against us. They know that we rely on war to support war, and they plan to control our development in terms of weapons and ammunition!"
The chief of staff suddenly interrupted, with a very serious tone!
"Wang Ping's vision is very vicious, that's right!"
"Last time, the direct brigade cooperated with the two military divisions to fight two Japanese annihilation battles. More than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated. The various weapons and equipment seized were enough for us to form a reinforced regiment of 2,000 people. But there was insufficient ammunition.
point!"
"All the ammunition carried by the Japanese army's baggage troops was blown up before they died. After the ammunition seized from the Japanese combat troops was replenished in the troops' combat trenches, there was basically nothing left!"
"Without ammunition, those two thousand weapons have been equipped with troops, but they are almost the same as fire sticks!"
"If Wang Ping can really get these production lines back from the World War II zone, he won't have to give up these heavy artillery and tanks!"
"However, it is impossible for the World War II zone not to know the importance of the production line. They are now increasingly wary of us. Giving us the production line is to increase our strength in disguise. Will they agree?"
"Also... as far as I know, when Taiyuan fell, the Jinsui Army did not move too much equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal. Most of the equipment was seized by the Japs. Those production lines are also treasures in the eyes of the Jinsui Army.
Will they agree to the exchange?"
"It's very possible~" On this point, the political commissar in charge of intelligence has the best say.
After thinking for a while, he answered: "Before the fall of Taiyuan, the Jinsui Army moved more than a thousand pieces of various equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, basically small equipment for the production of ammunition, rifles, submachine guns, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns...
"
"According to the intelligence we received from inside the World War II zone, these equipments were reorganized by Yan Xishan into the Northwest Arsenal. There are ten light bullet production lines, as well as three grenade production lines, four artillery shell production lines, three rifle production lines, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns,
One mortar production line each!”
"At the beginning, because the Jinsui Army transported a large amount of raw materials and semi-finished products from Taiyuan, the arsenal was still operating at full capacity. However, as the raw materials were exhausted and replenishment was no longer possible, half of the equipment in the entire arsenal has stopped production!"
"Rather than just rusting there, these equipment might as well be given to our Eighth Route Army."
Commander Chen affirmed: "The political commissar is right. Wang Ping didn't know where he knew this, and then he had the confidence to ask us for artillery and change the production line from the World War II area!"
"He also said in the telegram that a bullet production line in Taiyuan Arsenal can produce 15,000 rounds of bullets per day if there are sufficient raw materials. If it works overtime, it can reach 25,000 rounds, or even 30,000 rounds. It is possible for two production lines to produce 15,000 rounds per day.
It can produce 50,000 to 60,000 rounds of ammunition. The total number of troops in our entire military region is less than 50,000, which is equivalent to one bullet per person per day..."
The chief of staff's eyes had already shot out two rays of light, and he stared at Commander Chen and said: "One bullet per person per day, which is more than thirty rounds per month. And within a month, it is impossible for every soldier in the military region to have a combat mission...
…”
"Even if half of the troops have combat missions, if the bullets are averaged out, the bullets in the hands of our participating troops can reach 60 rounds per person. This does not include the inventory and combat seizures of each military division. Although it is not much, it is definitely there.
If you add them all up, there must be a hundred rounds of ammunition per capita!"
"Commander, we must support Wang Ping in replacing the bullet production line. If twelve heavy cannons are not enough, even two more will do!"
The political commissar followed up and said in support: "Commander, I also agree to change ~ However, this matter must be reported to the headquarters, and I believe the head of the headquarters will definitely agree!"
"I agree... Our Eighth Route Army is rarely equipped with mountain and field artillery. It is unrealistic to create two heavy artillery regiments at once!"
"Moreover, the heavy artillery is too heavy and must be towed by a car. There is no way it is not suitable for our Eighth Route Army to fight mountain warfare, guerrilla warfare, and mobile warfare. In this case, it is better to replace it with the bullets we need most!"
"As for how to change it specifically, let Wang Ping handle it. He has experience and will definitely not suffer a loss."
"To tell you the truth, two bullet production lines and one mortar shell production line are only what Wang Ping is guaranteed to get in exchange. His original idea was to have three bullet production lines, one grenade production line, one mortar shell production line, and one gunpowder production line.
Equipment, plus a set of all the equipment needed to repair weapons!”
"First the lion opens his mouth, and then he bargains!"
