"Chief, let's go directly into the factory, and I'll introduce you as we go!" Li Yunshan quickly replied!
He walked in front and led the way, pointing to a production line that was being dismantled and introduced: "This is a bullet production line, 65-caliber rifle machine gun bullets. If the raw materials are sufficient, it can produce 10,000 rounds of bullets per day!"
"If we work overtime and keep the machines busy, the output can reach 15,000 rounds of ammunition per day!"
The daily output of ammunition is 15,000 rounds, which adds up to 450,000 rounds a month. Li Hao's face lit up with joy at that time, and he asked excitedly: "How many rifle machine gun bullet production lines does the ammunition factory have?"
"Three!" Li Yunshan answered without thinking!
"The Japanese usually only operate two production lines, and they only produce during the day, but their monthly bullet output still reaches 20,000, which is 600,000 rounds a month! If I remember correctly, the bullets the Japanese have hoarded in the Datong arsenal are basically
They were all produced after the ammunition factory was established!"
"In addition to the rifle machine gun bullet production line, there is also a heavy machine gun production line, a grenade production line, and a mortar production line. They were all captured by the Japanese from the Taiyuan Arsenal when Taiyuan fell!"
"In addition to the bullet production line, we also have a gunpowder production line and a propellant production line!"
The smile on Li Hao’s face became even wider!
If all these equipment are brought back and the production capacity is fully utilized, the arsenal after establishment can produce 45,000 rounds of light rifle bullets every day, which adds up to 1.35 million rounds a month, not to mention heavy machine gun bullets.
And cannonballs!
Immediately ordered: "Move back, move all the equipment back!"
Walking out of the factory, a rusty iron door covered with spider webs came into Li Hao's sight!
There is absolutely no way that there is garbage in the ammunition factory that is heavily defended by the Japanese and puppet troops. It must be something that the Japanese think is very important, otherwise it would not be locked with a big lock!
This was the first thought that came to Li Hao's mind after seeing the iron gate!
His eyes lit up and he asked: "What good things are in this warehouse?"
Li Yunshan frowned, shook his head and replied: "Chief, I don't know what's inside?"
"Since I entered the ammunition factory, the iron door has been locked and no one has touched it!"
"Open!" Li Hao ordered decisively!
"If my guess is correct, there must be treasures hidden behind the iron gate, and these treasures must be related to the original establishment of the ammunition factory!"
"Equipment, 80% of it contains military equipment that little devils think are useless!"
"Bangdang..."
The iron door was opened, and a musty smell came directly to my face and I rushed out of the warehouse!
"It's equipment, it's full of equipment!" Li Hao exclaimed excitedly as if he had discovered a treasure!
All kinds of equipment are piled up in a disorderly manner in the warehouse. Many of them are rusty and look like scrap metal, covered with spider webs!
Li Yunshan also dived in with excitement as if he had discovered a treasure!
Li Hao also followed in!
Soon Li Yunshan's excited voice came from the front: "Chief, these are equipment for producing mountain cannon shells. I just don't know if they are intact!"
"There is also a heavy machine gun bullet production line and a mortar shell production line inside!"
"Get rich...there is also a rifle production line, a machine gun production line, and a mortar production line here!"
Li Hao pinched his thigh hard before he recovered from the shock!
He looked at Li Yunshan's eyes and ordered: "Check it immediately!"
"Comrade Li Yunshan, immediately organize manpower to check one piece of equipment after another to confirm whether the equipment can still be used!"
"If it really works, our arsenal will be set up right away!"
"Yes, Chief!"
Li Yunshan's face was full of excitement, and then he rushed towards the factory not far away!
Li Hao has been staying here, watching a dozen workers busy in the warehouse!
"Chief, everything is cleaned up!"
Li Yunshan rushed over and reported. It could be seen from the excited expression on his face that there was definitely something good hidden inside!
"The mountain cannon shell production line is intact, but the equipment is too old and has been eliminated from abroad!"
"It must have been purchased when the Taiyuan Arsenal was established. After the Japanese occupation, they looked down on these equipment and then threw them into Datong!"
"You just need to tell me if it can be used?" Li Hao stared at Li Yunshan and asked!
"It can be used, but the output is very low!" Li Yunshan replied!
"If it were the Japanese's own mountain artillery shell production line, it could produce a thousand shells a month! But this production line in the warehouse can only produce 600 shells a month, and it cannot produce continuously. Production must be stopped every day!"
Li Hao reacted quickly and immediately asked: "Does this mean that the entire artillery shell production line can only produce 300 shells a month?"
"Yes!"
Li Yunshan affirmed: "The Japanese must think that this artillery shell production line is too old and the production capacity is too low, so they pile it up in the warehouse without assembly!"
"That's enough!" Li Hao shouted excitedly!
"Not to mention 300 rounds of artillery shells, even if we can only produce 200 mountain artillery shells a month, it is still a treasure for our Eighth Route Army!"
"Chief of Staff, arrange manpower immediately to bring all these equipment back!"
"Comrade Li Yunshan, please continue, can other equipment in the warehouse be used?"
"Everything can be used!" Li Yunshan replied with certainty!
"The reason why the Japanese did not put it into use must be the same as the mountain artillery shell production line just now!"
"The equipment is all obsolete from Western countries. Not to mention it is old, but the production efficiency is still very low!"
"Young devils must look down on these devices, and then they pile them up in the warehouse like scrap metal!"
Li Hao has a feeling of pie in the sky!
He shouted with excitement: "To the little devils, these equipments are scrap metal, but to our Eighth Route Army, these equipments are treasures, and they are treasures that even money cannot buy!"
"As for backwardness and obsolescence, it doesn't matter!"
"First send it back for production, and then refer to the current new equipment and modify it while producing to increase production capacity!"
"Come on, let's go to the repair shop now. An ammunition factory can bring us so many surprises, so the repair shop must be good too!"
"As long as we can build a few more rifle production lines, our arsenal will be complete!"
Li Hao was not disappointed. The weapons repair equipment in the arsenal alone was enough to set up a rifle production line and a machine gun production line!
After searching around the repair shop, Li Hao found a closed warehouse similar to that of an ammunition factory, which also contained a large amount of equipment!
Finally, after an old technician from the repair shop explained to Li Hao, he realized that the old equipment he found in the ammunition factory and the repair shop were all purchased when the Taiyuan Arsenal was established. They had long been eliminated by the West, and even the little devils looked at them.
Not pleasing to the eye!
After the Japanese army occupied the Taiyuan arsenal, all new equipment was sent to the Northeast. It was not cost-effective to dispose of the equipment that the Japanese did not like as scrap metal. In the end, it was directly distributed to several important military towns with arsenals and stored up for use at critical moments!
