After finishing speaking, Zhou Yong looked at Wang Ping and proposed: "Factory director, do you want to report to the military region and ask the nearby troops to collect materials for us!" ”

Wang Ping refused without thinking about it: "No! ”

"The Japanese puppet army is burning, killing and looting in the base areas, and every unit has a combat mission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWe must not distract the front-line troops because of these things, and we must not cause trouble to the military districts! We solve these problems ourselves! ”

"How to solve it, the raw materials needed for the production of weapons and ammunition are not a little, and the quantity required is very huge!" Zhou Yong reminded with a worried face

Despite the difficulties, Wang Ping still made a firm decision: "I will solve all these problems!" ”

"Political commissar, you organized all the workers in the arsenal who had no production tasks for the time being, and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was bombed at the station under the mountain, and there were millions of bullets of various calibers alone, not to mention tens of thousands of shells that were blown up!"

"Although these munitions have been blown up, a lot of scrap copper and scrap metal can still be collected. Tomorrow at dawn, all the workers who have no production tasks will be sent over! ”

The worried expression on Zhou Yong's face was not relieved, and he continued: "Even if you can collect a lot of scrap copper and rotten iron back, it will be a drop in the bucket, and you can maintain the production of the arsenal for a few days!" The fundamental problem of the lack of raw materials in the arsenal has not been solved! ”

Wang Ping didn't answer immediately, frowned and hesitated for almost half a minute before saying: "Political commissar, can the raw materials in our inventory plus the scrap copper and rotten iron collected by the Japanese puppet army garrison and battlefield under the mountain guarantee the arsenal for six days!" ”

"With the addition of the battlefield collection, it can last for eight days. Some time ago, the weapons and ammunition of the devil in the trenches of the battlefield were not less than those blown up in the station, and if they were all collected, there should be no problem in producing a million rounds of ammunition. ”

"That's good, in eight days, I will send the relevant raw materials to the political commissar!"

In the whole of North China, and Shanxi Province, which is the closest to the arsenal, can come up with a large number of raw materials for the production of weapons and ammunition at one time, except for the devils, the only one left is Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater.

It is not impossible to get raw materials from the hands of devils, but it takes time, a lot of time.

Therefore, Wang Ping subconsciously thought of Yan Xishan.

When Yan Xishan withdrew from Taiyuan City, he not only removed a large amount of arsenal equipment, but also removed almost all the raw materials and semi-finished products in the arsenal's inventory.

But there is a problem, the equipment that Yan Xishan moved can only produce ordinary light infantry weapons.

As for heavy weapons, even mortars are difficult to produce.

Although the Jin Sui army in his hand is well-equipped, the heavy weapons that have been lost in continuous combat and battlefield are not only few, but also very few.

As the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, Yan Xishan can ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to allocate weapons and ammunition to him, but the Ministry of Military Affairs and Lao Jiang are not fools, and Lao Jiang, who is good at killing people with a knife, will definitely not give Yan Xishan the heavy weapons that the Central Army lacks.

In this way, if Yan Xishan wanted to get heavy weapons, he could only find another way.

Seeing that the Jin Sui army was suppressed in front of the Japanese army because it did not have heavy weapons, it was becoming more and more unable to raise its head, and even its ability to attack and counterattack was getting worse and worse. Yan Xishan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. After all, the Jin Suijun is the foundation for his own life in this troubled era, if there is no Jin Suijun to support himself, Yan Xishan will definitely take only a few minutes Lao Jiang will step down from the position of commander of his second theater.

"Commander, several of the main divisions of the Central Army in our Second World War Zone have built a lot of mountain artillery from nowhere. Now each of the main divisions has a mortar company and a mountain artillery battalion directly under it. But what about us, many of the newly formed main divisions can't even get together a mountain artillery company! I have made several reports to the Ministry of Military Affairs, but all of them have replied that they have not. When it came time to equip their own Central Army, there was everything! The chief of staff walked up to Yan Xishan and shouted with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Whoever makes the family a descendant, we are a ragtag army!" Yan Xishan replied helplessly.

"Lao Jiang's idea of borrowing a knife to kill people can be seen by fools, I can't wait for our Jin Sui army to be completely consumed by the Japanese, and his central army will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman and directly take Shanxi, which Lao Han and I have developed for decades, how can it be possible to replenish weapons and ammunition for us!"

"However, without heavy weapons, the combat effectiveness of the troops will certainly be greatly weakened. We can't send our troops out to fight guerrillas against the Japanese like the Eighth Route Army! ”

"No! We don't have the political system of the Eighth Route Army, as long as we disperse the troops, the troops will be dispersed! Yan Xishan shook his head and refused. He was very aware of the difference between the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, and knew that the Jin Sui Army did not have the capital and confidence to fight guerrillas.

The chief of staff's brows furrowed even deeper, and he continued to insist: "If you can't fight guerrillas, you can only fight a positional war with the devils and hold southwest Jinxi." However, the troops did not have heavy weapons, and in the face of the attack of the Japanese puppet army, we could only be beaten passively, and there was no room to fight back! Commander, you're going to have to get some heavy weapons for the troops anyway. Not to mention too much, a division must ensure that at least one artillery battalion is fully staffed to reach the equipment level of the Jin Sui Army before the war. ”

Yan Xishan now regrets it very much, regretting that he did not listen to the advice of the Eighth Route Army and transferred the Taiyuan Arsenal to the southwest of Shanxi Province as soon as possible. If there is the Taiyuan Arsenal, all the problems in this are not a problem.

But he didn't stop, and he didn't think of transferring equipment until the Japanese were about to come to the city.

Because the time was too hasty, although he invested a lot of manpower and material resources, he was able to move less than forty percent of the equipment in the arsenal.

More importantly, the equipment that can produce heavy weapons, not a single one of them has been moved.

Just as Yan Xishan was frowning and thinking about a solution, a staff officer suddenly walked in.

Seeing Yan Xishan, who was not very good-looking, and the chief of staff, he hesitated for a moment before reporting: "Sir, the representative of the Eighth Route Army Liaison Office has come over and said that he has something important to look for you!" ”

"I must have come to ask us for weapons and ammunition again, and now we don't have enough weapons and ammunition of our own, where can we give them weapons and ammunition! Commander, I'll go out and send them away! The chief of staff frowned and scolded without thinking about it.

"Wait a minute!" Yan Xishan obviously has a lot of scheming.

"Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army cannot be offended. Now the Eighth Route Army is holding back the main force of the Japanese North China Front, and without them, the Japanese North China Front will be able to concentrate all its strength on attacking our southwest Jin. Do you think that just by being optimistic about the more than 200,000 troops in my hands, I will be the opponent of the Japanese in a positional war? ”

"No matter what, since the other party is here, I will definitely see him."

"Now the North China Front Army is heavily encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army must not be eliminated, at least not yet. Otherwise, we'll be done too. So, if they want weapons and ammunition, give them some of the gear we knocked out! ”

"Commander wise! What are you doing in a daze, call their representatives in! The chief of staff reacted immediately.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army was brought to Yan Xishan and the chief of staff.

The chief of staff who thought that the Eighth Route Army was seeking Jin Sui was very direct, and asked bluntly: "Say it!" What difficulties have you encountered in the Eighth Route Army again! Make a list of what support you need. As long as our Second Theater Command has it, it will definitely be given to you! ”
