Vice Chairman Zhou's eyes were fixed on the unique weapons in the arms of the guards working on the guards, and he asked Meng Qingshan very curiously: "Comrade Qingshan, what kind of weapons are these comrades holding in their hands, have they been seized from the devils?" ”

"Chairman, these fighters with guns in their hands are all independently developed by our arsenal, not captured from small devils, these are automatic rifles."

Vice Chairman Zhou was shocked by Meng Qingshan's answer, and asked for a KL-40 from a guard, looking at the weapon in his hand that was much smaller than the rifle he had seen before, and it was also very light, which was very suitable for carrying, "Is this an assault rifle?" ”

"Yes, compared with the devil's rifle, it has a short body and a shorter range, which is suitable for closeer combat, it uses a pneumatic automatic principle, the air guide tube is located above the barrel, and the bolt action is pushed by the piston, and the rotary locking bolt has a bullet capacity of thirty rounds, Vice Chairman Zhou, why don't we go to the shooting range over there to try our hands?"

Hearing Meng Qingshan's words, Vice Chairman Zhou nodded, and the generals who followed the chairman were also eager to stare at the new weapons produced by the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and they wanted to try it immediately.

Meng Qingshan took the group to the training ground of the headquarters to give each person a KL-40 and two magazines, and Vice Chairman Zhou pulled the trigger on the target, "Da Da Da!" After a while, a magazine was empty, and Vice Chairman Zhou was very excited that this gun was actually invented by his own people, which made him very happy, and the general who was testing the gun next to him was also full of joy.

Seeing Vice Chairman Zhou staring at the KL-40 in his hand with affection, Meng Qingshan smiled and said: "This gun has a simple structure and is easy to produce. It can be produced quickly and in large quantities in the shortest possible time. It's just that we don't have 7.62 mm ammunition on hand, and it's not enough to produce them in arsenals alone. So at the moment only improved Japanese eight-mm pistol cartridges can be used instead.

"We can't fight the little devils with bayonets, and fighting close combat is our biggest magic weapon to break the superior firepower of the Japanese army. So we designed this assault rifle. In order to use its dense melee firepower, it can offset the power of the little devil's white-knuckle combat, so that the losses of our soldiers can be reduced. This assault rifle is currently rationed to units engaged in special tasks such as guards, reconnaissance, etc. and other conditions will be used by the whole army. ”

After listening to Meng Qingshan's words, Vice Chairman Zhou sighed: "It is really not easy for you to find a way to set up your own factory under such difficult conditions to research and produce weapons that are tailored to the characteristics of the Japanese army. ”

"Where, this is not all forced by little devils, the situation here in the Northeast is grim, and the Japanese puppet army hardly gives the Anti-Union a chance to breathe. The various departments of the Anti-Japanese Federation fought with the Japanese puppet army once a day, and on average there was at least one battle of 1,000 men every half a month, and the ammunition consumption of the troops was far from enough to be captured alone. ”

"There are several in the arsenal, all of them are petty fights, and it is very powerful to be able to produce grenades, but there are almost no weapons like you who can produce weapons independently. I can't believe how big your arsenal has grown now. Comrade Kyungsan. Can you tell us more about the current scale of the Anti-United Nations Arsenal? You must know that this arsenal may, to a certain extent, be the first arsenal in the true sense of our army. We have to pay attention. Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"Report to Vice Chairman Zhou, Director Sun knows more about this matter than I do. Let's let Director Sun make a detailed report to everyone, if there are any problems. I make additions.... Meng Qingshan replied.

"Report Vice-Chairman of the week, commander-in-chief. Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the entire arsenal consists of five production lines for various bullets, two production lines for artillery shells, and three production lines for grenades. In addition, there are two rifle production lines, one machine gun production line, and one mortar production line, but because of the lack of steel, the iron materials needed by the arsenal are all produced by the rails on the Japanese railway, so the output is somewhat low. In the shocked eyes of everyone, Director Sun replied in detail...

"There are so many production lines, I heard you right!" Comrade Qingshan, our arsenal has so many production lines, so what about the output of the arsenal, can we guarantee the consumption of ammunition for the troops? Vice Chairman Zhou was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"Report Vice Chairman Zhou, because of the lack of various raw materials, three arms production lines are almost in a state of shutdown. According to the output of 10,000 rounds of ammunition per production line, the daily output of tens of thousands of bullets of various bullets, thousands of grenades, and hundreds of shells of various shells can be reached per day. Meng Qingshan continued.

"Well, for so many years, we have been looking forward to our army being able to have a real arsenal, but I really didn't expect that now this wish will come true. Comrade Qingshan, you must develop this arsenal well and make it even bigger. Vice Chairman Zhou said with a joyful face holding Meng Qingshan's hands.

"Yes! We have always hoped that our army would have an arsenal capable of producing bullets, so that there would be no need for every battle, and the troops would have an average of three rounds of ammunition per person, and in the middle of the battle, they would have to order the trumpeters to blow the trumpet. Now our party finally has its own arsenal, and it is still a very large arsenal. Now, I'm confident in the place I'm going to fight, and I think those guys in Kannai will envy me if they know it's here. However, there are too few raw materials. Otherwise, we would be able to produce our own rifles and machine guns..."Liu Yalou said happily.

"Yalou, the lack of raw materials, we can solve it slowly. As long as we have the equipment, other problems will not be difficult for us GCD people. In addition, I believe that with the vision of our comrade Qingshan, he must have been thinking of a way to solve the current predicament encountered by the arsenal for a long time..."Vice Chairman Zhou replied with a smile on his face. put his eyes on Meng Qingshan's body in front of him.

"Chairman of the report, we will indeed find a way to solve the current predicament encountered by the arsenal. First of all, through consultations with Comrade Jiangbei, I have ordered two sets of advanced iron-making equipment and one set of steel-making equipment. As long as these equipment can be transported to North Manchuria, we can immediately build an ironworks and steelworks. And at that time, our arsenal will have sufficient raw materials to produce all kinds of weapons...."Under the gaze of Vice Chairman Zhou, Meng Qingshan immediately replied.

"Oh! When did our big brother become so good at talking? Vice Chairman Zhou asked suspiciously.

"Chairman, the production equipment and raw materials that crossed the river with you before were not given for free, but we exchanged a whole ton of gold and the drawings of two new weapons that we had seized."

"If there were another choice, I wouldn't buy it from Jiangbei. They're dark enough. A ton of gold and blueprints for new weapons were exchanged for second-hand items that were about to be scrapped. Monopoly management is really hegemonic. We are still too weak, and everyone wants to take advantage of us, but as long as we get past this hurdle, we will have everything. ”

Meng Qingshan's remarks undoubtedly showed a trace of his heart to the central government, clearly telling the central government that he would not be controlled by Jiangbei. It is still an independent army under the leadership of the central government. For the people of Jiangbei, he doesn't trust him. And when he exchanged with them, he suffered a big loss, and Meng Qingshan didn't want to be settled by others.

After hearing Meng Qingshan's words, Vice Chairman Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and then under the leadership of Meng Qingshan, he successively walked into the arsenal of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Khormozhin Fortress of the Japanese Army, the Military and Political University of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and finally placed them in a village not far from the headquarters, of course, Vice Chairman Zhou and some generals were arranged to the headquarters.
