"Hey, hey." Tang Hu really smiled, a few old foxes, "There is a batch, they set off from Hanzhong on February 2nd, and it is estimated that it will be almost there in another seven or eight days." ”

Huang Weigang narrowed his eyes, "How many guns?" ”

"There are still a lot of guns, but there are few bullets, and there are only 200,000 bullets!" Tang Hu was helpless, "It is said that the entire base has not yet been operational. ”

"Don't worry about bullets!" Huang Weigang patted Tang Hu on the shoulder, "Our Hanyang and Zhongzheng are both 7.92mm bullets, universal!" "You must know that over the years, the central government has been importing bullets from abroad, and its own arsenal can produce tens of millions of rounds every year, that is to say, before the July Seven Incident, the total amount of ammunition was always hundreds of millions of rounds.

"There are 10,000 rifles, about 200 machine guns, and 200,000 rounds of ammunition." Tang Hu smiled.

"Yes, Tang Laohu, you want to get rich!" Huang Weigang smiled, but he thought about it in his heart, before, I saw in the newspaper that the cost of this rifle is only 20 oceans, which is not expensive! The price of the equipment I bought from Germany was sky-high! The most important thing is that the quality of the rifles produced in the base of Liuba County is guaranteed, which can be seen from the use of Zhou Wen's regiment! This is by no means the equipment that the Germans deceived them about before!

10,000 is 200,000 oceans, and their 59th Army can make it together. And 200 machine guns, that's good guys! They are not as good as the devils in artillery, and they are not as good as the devils in machine guns, there are too many casualties, and it is very difficult for the fighters on the front line to fight, if they have this batch of equipment, they can more or less reduce the pressure on the fighters.

"Hey, Master, to be honest, self-denial, I didn't think about making a fortune by building an arsenal!" Tang Laohu sighed, "It's just that I didn't know what happened before until today, and the central side must have delayed the collection of this batch of equipment, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent someone to the front line to sell it!" ”

Huang Weigang nodded, "Indeed." But these problems have been around for a long time, and he is still too naïve to want to solve them as a young man! Now looking at the public opinion, in fact, he has been hated by many people, Mu Xiu Yu Lin! The most terrible thing is that now, the Japanese also know about it! Although Hanzhong is in the rear, but the devil spy, where to go in China, you have to remind him and let him be careful of the devil spies. ”

"I know."

"Well, as for this batch of equipment, if it arrives, you can keep it for me first! I'm going to talk to the military seat! If nothing else, our 59th Army has eaten it! ”

"Good!" Tang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, "As soon as the equipment arrives, I will notify you immediately." ”

"Hmmm! Remember! ”

"Good!" Tang Hu nodded.

……

"You're saying that this batch of equipment will be in our hands in a few days?" An army lieutenant general listened to Huang Weigang's report and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"It should be certain! The arsenal in Liuba County is Tang Laohu's son-in-law. Coupled with the scandal the other day, his gun was not procured by the central government. ”

"How much do you think you can eat this equipment?"

"300,000 oceans is definitely okay! Before, he said in the newspaper that the cost was 20 oceans for one piece, and counting 200 machine guns, I estimate that the price must be much cheaper than if we went to foreigners to buy it. ”

"That's for sure, now, how much money do we have in our army?" The lieutenant general looked at the other man.

"Junza, we still have money on our books now, but if we buy this batch of equipment, then in the next few days, the soldiers will have to tighten their belts."

The commander of the 59th Army, lieutenant general with the rank of general, Zhang Zizhong, frowned, "Buy!" If you don't buy it, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to tighten your belt in the future! ”

"Yes!"

During this period, the soldiers' salary, even if they were second-class soldiers, was almost 10 yuan/month, but during the national disaster, the military salary was 7 yuan/month. For example, the 15th Independent Brigade, in the hands of Tang Hu, has basically never been paid, and the military expenses of his brigade are still very poor for the soldiers to eat and drink, let alone pay them. This is also the reason why in Hanzhong, even if General Chen Xiu's salary is set at 1 ocean every month, the soldiers are still rejoicing! In addition, Chen Xiu tried his best to ensure that the soldiers had meat in their meals, even if they ate before, they were not so good, and for Chen Xiu, he naturally returned to his heart.

The military salary issued by the national army is naturally based on legal tender. At this time, the fiat currency is still quite strong. However, in the later period, due to the excessive printing, the fiat currency was greatly depreciated. The purchasing power of 100 yuan fiat currency is getting lower and lower in different years, two big cows in 1937, a big cow and a calf in 1938, a big cow in 1939, a calf in 1940, a pig in 1941, a ham in 1942, a hen in 1943, half a hen in 1944, a fish in 1945, an egg in 1946, a briquette or a third of the fritters in 1947, and four grains of rice in 1948.

Later, fiat money became almost waste paper.

……

"Third uncle, how many roads are there?" Tang Ning wiped his sweat.

"Hurry up, at the current speed, walk for two more days, and you'll almost arrive at Guzhen!" Di Feng looked ahead, all the way, they were marching in a hurry! The journey took about 20 days, saving one-third of the time.

Tang Ning looked behind her, the soldiers didn't speak, they hurried seriously, and nodded, she was familiar with these since she was a child, you know, in the past, they could only eat one bowl of porridge, and two cakes were good, and at that time, they also had to take on important military tasks. Now, at least everyone eats well, they can eat well, and they have oil and water in their stomachs! After more than a month, many people not only did not lose weight, but grew stronger under the harsh training.

Therefore, even if they marched all the way, everyone didn't say anything, and they all knew that the military situation on the front line was like fire!

"Okay, then move on!"

……

"Chen! OK! Copper-clad steel! Will happily ran to Chen Xiu, "Look! ”

Chen Xiu looked at a bullet in front of him, "It's just covered with a layer of copper on the outside?" ”

It has been 10 days since Tang Ning and the others set off, and the arsenal has already started. These days, Will has taken the newly joined Zhang De and others to constantly test materials.

"Yes, a layer of copper! After testing, I found that the performance is basically stable, and there is nothing different! Old! What a genius you have! Will was still a little excited, "It's just that such a bullet is lighter than an all-copper bullet!" Go for it? ”

"Good!" Chen Xiu nodded.

Then, Chen Xiu replaced the new copper-clad steel bullets, took out a gun, replaced them with bullets, and began to shoot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

His shoulders were numb from the shock, and Chen Xiu felt that there should not be much difference in power. Because it is true that the difference in power between an all-copper bullet and a copper-clad steel bullet is not too big.

Will also took a gun and started shooting.

After firing 4 magazines, that is, 20 rounds, Will put down the gun, "Chen, it should have been a success!" At least, just hit 20 shivering without getting stuck! ”

Chen Xiu nodded, "I'll let people continue to give it a try." ”

"Good!"

"If it works, it's great, I'll let the kitchen add food!"

"Good!" Will's eyes lit up!
