"I know you don't have an answer now, but when you stay in our lathe department for a certain amount of time and really understand the lathe department, you may have some ideas."

"You are still young, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, and you have enough time to learn and improve yourself." Looking at Liu Gen, Foreman Qi patted Liu Gen's shoulder and signaled Liu Gen to relax and not put too much pressure on himself.

Although he had just met Liu Gen, from Liu Gen's words and deeds, as well as his occasional frowns, Foreman Qi could see that Liu Gen was under a lot of pressure. The reason is very simple, some of Liu Gen's performances are very similar to most people in the arsenal, and everyone is under a lot of pressure.

If they could, the people in the arsenal would like to work 24 hours a day to make as many weapons and ammunition as possible to supply the front-line battles.

From the information fed back to the arsenal by the front-line troops, Foreman Qi knew that all the troops on the front line were in great need of replenishment of weapons and ammunition, especially ammunition. Except for a small number of troops, most of the troops were somewhat short of ammunition, and once the battle broke out again, the bullets that could reach the fighters were probably only about three.

It is precisely because of this that the arsenal will be under such great pressure, everyone knows the battle situation on the front line, the battle with the devil, and the victory is relatively large, but after the victory, the troops of the Eighth Route Army cannot be replenished sufficiently, and the capture from the devil cannot be replenished at all.

If this continues, there is not enough ammunition to replenish, so the front-line fighters will need to fight with the devils, I am afraid that they will need to engage in white-knuckle combat with the devils, and the casualties of the front-line fighters will be much larger at that time.

After the battle of Guanjiayuan, the devil was deterred to a certain extent, but the heart of destroying our Eighth Route Army was not extinguished. While Liu Gen was recuperating in the border hospital, the Japanese army in Licheng, south of Taihang, invaded the base area in the north, and the Japanese army in Xiangyuan attacked from Xiying in the direction of Panlong Town, in an attempt to sweep Dongtian and the area around the brick wall where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was located.

During this period, in order to cover the transfer of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division blocked the Japanese troops in the vicinity of Damo Village, and the battle lasted for a day and a night. In this battle, the 386 Brigade, which was already exhausted by a large number of battles, became more and more exhausted, and its combat effectiveness dropped again.

The headquarters also knew about the situation of the 386 Brigade and ordered the 386 Brigade to rest and recuperate, absorb troops, and restore combat effectiveness.

In the face of the devil's sweep, the units of the Eighth Route Army could only continue to block it to prevent the devil's troops from causing too much damage to the base area.

The frequent battles made the ammunition of the troops fighting the devils on the front line more and more scarce, and the arsenals in the rear were directly put into production after being transferred. If you want to return to the Yellow Cliff Cave, you will need to wait for a while, and the arsenal will temporarily stay in this relatively safe valley to avoid being discovered by the devil's sweeping forces.

A day passed, and during this day, Liu Gen followed behind Foreman Qi and kept the relevant situation of the lathe department in his mind. There are not many workers in the lathe department, less than 300 people, which is also due to the lack of equipment in the lathe department.

There is a lot of work in the lathe department, such as making bullet casings for bullets, knowing the cartridge casings of artillery shells, etc., all of which need to be done by the lathe department. Among them, some machine tools of the lathe department are also making bayonets, and not every soldier in the front-line battle has a bayonet in his hand.

Liu Gen had not encountered this situation in the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment before, and it was also because these two regiments belonged to the main force of the 386 Brigade, and with Li Yunlong, the regiment commander who could get weapons in every possible way, there would naturally be no lack of bayonets.

And in other units, the lack of bayonets on the rifles in the hands of the fighters is a normal thing, and not all fighters can get the three-eight cover in their hands. In the hands of other troops, the fighters had in their hands a variety of weapons such as old sleeves, medium formals, and three-eight big covers. It is even said that many soldiers hold cold weapons such as broadswords and spears in their hands, and it can be said that the demand for weapons in various units of the Eighth Route Army is still very large.

The bayonet produced by the Ministry of Military Industry is a three-edged bayonet, which originates from the Bayi type horse rifle developed by Liu Guifu, a technician of the Huangyadong Arsenal! The Type 81 horse rifle is shorter, lighter, more flexible, and has a longer life than ordinary rifles. The method of simplifying parts is adopted in the structure, which is convenient for production and processing under simple equipment conditions.

At the same time, the crosshairs of the Bayi horse rifle were praised as "the first crosshairs in the world" by Mr. Peng.

A three-edged bayonet was mounted on the Type 81 rifle, and the bayonet was attached to the underside of the barrel, and when used, it was only necessary to press the button and throw it forward to push the bayonet forward in front of the muzzle. The three-edged bayonet has high strength and has a bleeding groove on it, which is easy to pull out when assassinating, and will not be lost when marching quickly. On the march, there will be no obvious reflection of the blade surface, which is conducive to concealment.

Of course, the three-edged bayonet also has disadvantages such as a single function, but for the fighters, the three-edged bayonet is already quite good.

In the Huangyadong Arsenal, there is a professional production department of the Bayi Horse Rifle, but it is limited by the lack of supporting equipment and the lack of enough steel, so the production efficiency of the Bayi Horse Rifle is not high. But even so, for all units of the Eighth Route Army, it is still a matter of contention to be able to get some Bayi-style horse rifles.

At night, Liu Gen stayed in the room and met his three roommates, but because everyone was too tired, they fell asleep without much communication. Originally, Liu Gen also wanted to sort out his gains today, but due to the influence of his roommates, he was also a little more sleepy.

Liu Gen couldn't hold on for too long, so he could only briefly recall the harvest of following Foreman Qi today, and then fell asleep. He was injured, and he followed Foreman Qi for a whole day, which made him quite tired.

If Liu Gen's body is fine, then following Foreman Qi will definitely be able to follow Foreman Qi all the time. But there is no way, Liu Gen's injury will take some time to recover, but Liu Gen still wants to follow Foreman Qi.

After just following Foreman Qi for a day, Liu Gen found that Foreman Qi was quite knowledgeable, and he could learn a lot of things by following Foreman Qi. Foreman Qi said that he didn't want Liu Gen to put too much pressure on him, but in this environment, how could he not have pressure?

Foreman Qi and the others did not tell Liu Gen about the situation on the front line, but Liu Gen realized from the tense working state of the arsenal that the situation on the front line might not be too good. When he followed Liu Lao around the arsenal today, Liu Gen found that most of the workers in the arsenal were reloading bullets, which undoubtedly showed that the ammunition of the troops on the front line was a little tight.

At five o'clock in the morning, Liu Gen heard movement in the room, opened his eyes, and found that his three roommates were getting up. During this time, the work of the arsenal was relatively intense, even if the arsenal did not require the workers to work too long, everyone still spontaneously chose to work as much as possible, so as to produce more ammunition, so that the soldiers on the front line could better kill devils!
