Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief suggested with a smile: "Comrade Yunfei, you see we have been riding a horse for a morning, and now it is almost noon, let's rest first, finish lunch, and then take a good look." ”

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch, really, time flies so fast, it's almost 12 o'clock, so Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Peng, then let's rest first, the soldiers may also be tired." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yunfei jumped off the horse, and under the leadership of Mr. Peng, he walked to the houses not far away.

There are nearly 1,000 comrades of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Huangyadong Arsenal, and outside the arsenal, there are also soldiers from this battalion, and this battalion is mainly responsible for the security of the arsenal.

The technicians and production workers of the Huangyadong Arsenal are all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and everyone is wearing the gray cloth military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

Due to the concealment of important surnames, these houses are relatively low, only one floor, on the roof, there are also a lot of tree branches, plus the tall trees on both sides of the house, it is difficult for the little devil to find in the air, this is the Huangyadong Arsenal has been established until now, basically almost two years, has not been discovered by the little devil reconnaissance machine an important reason.

Zhang Yunfei and others, after a short rest, had a simple lunch, around two o'clock in the afternoon, under the leadership of the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhang Yunfei began to visit the Huangyadong Arsenal with great interest.

As soon as you walk into this huge cave, there are a lot of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are busy there, this natural cave has obviously been repaired artificially, the ground has also been leveled, and there are some small equipment in the wide cave.

This Huangyadong Arsenal is divided into several workshops, the first workshop in the cave is a repair workshop, and these damaged guns are stacked on the ground, Zhang Yunfei looked at them casually, these guns are some relatively dilapidated things, and the soldiers are seriously repairing them.

The person in charge of the Huangyadong Arsenal introduced: "Chiefs, we mainly repair all kinds of firearms in this workshop, and our repair means basically rely on fitters to repair, due to limited conditions, some parts, we mainly rely on manual skills. ”

While listening to the explanation of the person in charge, Zhang Yunfei looked at the only few pieces of equipment here, as long as a few old small drilling machines and small lathes, relying on these small equipment and a few files, it is really not easy to repair these guns.

Continuing to go inside, the second workshop is the gun production workshop, which mainly produces imitation Chinese formal rifles, this workshop has a little more equipment, most of the equipment is relatively shabby, only two or three pieces of equipment, and it looks relatively new.

Zhang Yunfei looked at these relatively new pieces of equipment and immediately recognized them, these pieces of equipment were used to support the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, and the big words "Datong Machinery and Equipment Factory" printed on the equipment were clearly visible.

In this workshop, there are hundreds of soldiers, some are seriously processing the parts on the guns, several machines are also making a buzzing roar, and some are seriously assembling the guns on the platform on one side, and several guns are almost assembled.

Walking here, the person in charge of this arsenal proudly introduced: "Chiefs, this is one of our equipment production workshops, and now, every month, we have to produce hundreds of rifles." ”

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief next to him also showed joy, obviously, the deputy commander-in-chief was also very satisfied with this output, Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone's expressions, and smiled slightly.

In Zhang Yunfei's heart, such a production is too small, more than 100 rifles per month, for the nearly 300,000 Eighth Route Army, it is really too little.

For example, the Huanglongxia Arsenal of the 36th Group Army has produced more than 10,000 AK-47 rifles every month, and in addition, the Huanglongxia Arsenal also produces a large number of bullets, artillery shells, and a lot of mortars and other weapons.

The Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal, compared with its own Huanglongxia Arsenal, is really too small, the Eighth Route Army is really not easy, the output of more than 100 rifles a month, I am very happy.

Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone, sighing in his heart, but there was still a faint smile on his face, Zhang Yunfei couldn't hit everyone's mood and confidence.

Further inside, there is the bullet reloading workshop, which only needs to reload bullets and produce some "border grenades." In one corner of the workshop, there are also a lot of empty cartridge casings, some loaded bullets, which the fighters are wrapping in oiled paper and loading into ammunition boxes.

Zhang Yunfei watched in several workshops for more than an hour, and basically understood the situation of the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.

Back in the lounge outside the cave, Zhang Yunfei had just sat down, and the deputy commander-in-chief said happily: "Comrade Yunfei, how is the situation of our arsenal, do you think it's okay?" ”

For this arsenal, the deputy commander-in-chief was very satisfied in his heart, so when he asked Zhang Yunfei, he still had a little pride in his words, and after asking, the deputy commander-in-chief looked at Zhang Yunfei with a smile.

Zhang Yunfei saw the deputy commander-in-chief asking, thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Mr. Peng, you can still build such an arsenal under such difficult conditions, I think it is very difficult, although the output is a little small, but I personally think that it is still very good." ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's praise, the deputy commander-in-chief also said happily: "Comrade Yunfei, we also want to thank you for supporting several of our equipment, which have played a great role in the production of our weapons and equipment. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, nodded lightly and said: "Mr. Peng, just a few pieces of equipment, nothing, I have been thinking in my heart, our support for your arsenal is still too little, resulting in the current output of your arsenal still can't go up, and the output is so small." ”

Seeing Zhang Yunfei say this, the deputy commander-in-chief immediately said gratefully: "Comrade Yunfei, you have given me enough support, and we are very grateful to the entire Eighth Route Army. ”

Zhang Yunfei saw that the deputy commander-in-chief was satisfied with the output of more than 100 rifles per month, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Peng, if your Huangyadong Arsenal can produce thousands of guns and millions of bullets every month, what will happen?" ”

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief looked stunned, and immediately understood what Zhang Yunfei meant, but still asked in disbelief: "Comrade Yunfei, you mean?" ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Peng, there are still so many ordinary people in our motherland who are still struggling under the butcher's knife of the little devils, and the task on your shoulders is still very heavy, and we must drive the little devils out of China as soon as possible, so the development of the army will be our top priority in the past one or two years."

But I just looked at your arsenal, the scale is still too small, far from meeting the needs of the development of the troops, I am ready to help you expand the Huangyadong arsenal, and increase the output of this arsenal to a scale that can produce thousands of guns and millions of rounds of ammunition per month. ”

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief looked a little excited, and the person in charge of the Huangyadong Arsenal next to him obviously did not have such a good concentration as the deputy commander-in-chief, and after listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, his face immediately flushed with excitement, and his body trembled slightly.

When Zhang Yunfei said this, he actually thought that it would be better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish and help the Eighth Route Army build a large-scale arsenal than to support the Eighth Route Army with some weapons and equipment every month.

Zhang Yunfei had this plan a few months ago, and some of the equipment that Zhang Yunfei was ready to support the expansion of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal had also been manufactured in Datong Machinery and Equipment Factory.

Zhang Yunfei was ready to let the Eighth Route Army Arsenal produce Mauser 98K rifles, because, among some Jews in Datong, some were technicians or experts in this field when they were in Germany, and several Jews also brought several Mauser 98K rifles of German origin.

And, in China, Mauser rifles have also been imitated before, such as Hanyang-made and Zhongzheng rifles, so that whether it is a Mauser 98K rifle or a Hanyang-made or Zhongzheng rifle, bullets can be universal, and in the future, if there is a chance, Zhang Yunfei is also ready to help Huangyadong Arsenal launch a machine gun production line.

Zhang Yunfei saw that the deputy commander-in-chief's voice was a little excited, Zhang Yunfei said calmly: "Mr. Peng, I am going to produce Mauser 98K rifles in the newly expanded Huangyadong Arsenal, we have German Jewish experts in this area, and we are also working hard to manufacture the machinery and equipment used in the production, and at present, most of the equipment has been manufactured."

According to my plan, after the expansion, the Huangyadong Arsenal will produce about 5,000 Mauser 98K rifles and millions of bullets per month. ”

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief stood up, held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly, and thanked excitedly: "Comrade Yunfei, on behalf of all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, thank you. ”

Next to him, the person in charge of the Huangyadong Arsenal, seeing that the expanded arsenal will have such a large output, the production is actually the superior Mauser 98K rifle, you know, the current German [***] team is also using the Mauser 98K rifle.

Next, Zhang Yunfei began to tell his plan one by one, and when he heard the joy, the deputy commander-in-chief applauded again and again, and the two talked happily for an hour in the lounge.

When Zhang Yunfei and the deputy commander negotiated all matters related to the expansion of the Huangyadong Arsenal, an Eighth Route Army came in anxiously and reported: "Chief, outside our arsenal, less than 4 kilometers away from the intersection of the canyon, a brigade suddenly appeared, and it is estimated that there is a brigade. ”
