It had been five days since Wang Ping returned to the arsenal station.

There were more than 30 people when they went, and nearly 2,500 people when they returned, and there were quite a few horses and carts.

Explosives, equipment, copper ingots, as well as half of the captured grain and eighty percent of the gold and silver, were all brought back by Wang Ping.

As for the transport troops, which numbered nearly 2,500 men, all of them, except for the escort unit of a battalion of the Independent Brigade, had just been freed from absent labor.

Although the Independent Brigade lost a lot of people in this battle, the Imperial Allied Army captured on the battlefield was enough to make up for the losses. If nearly 2,000 absentees were forcibly stuffed into the Independent Brigade, the Independent Brigade would seriously exceed the standard and bring great pressure. So, at Wang Ping's suggestion, all the 2,000 absentees were sent to the military region, and no one from the independent brigade was needed.

Although Wang Ping is the director of the military region's arsenal, he does not lead troops. But there was a very bold idea in my head.

At present, there are a lot of troops in the military region, and all of them add up to 50,000 or 60,000 people. However, they were all distributed in every county town within the military region and confronted the local Japanese puppet army.

Wherever the bullets are attacked, the military region will fall into a dangerous situation where the whole body will be affected by one shot.

This is because, no matter where the military region sends troops to reinforce the attacked troops, the balance between the enemy and our forces in that place will be lost. If the Japanese puppet army there takes the opportunity to attack, the situation will become worse and worse.

A very important reason for this situation is that the troops, whether in the military region or the military subdivisions below, are used to develop and expand base areas, and no one has mobile troops in their hands that can be mobilized. In Wang Ping's view, this is very dangerous.

This time, Wang Ping came back with so many absenteeisms because he planned to put forward his views to the military region, hoping that the military region could use these absenteeism to form a mobile unit, and the scale did not need to be too large, just at the brigade level.

The next day, as soon as Wang Ping was about to rush to the headquarters of the military region, a cry full of excitement reached his ears.

Huang Yu, the instructor in charge of protecting the safety of the arsenal, rushed over happily: "Factory director, good news, Professor Li's machine has been completed, and the copper rod has been successfully stamped into a bullet, the speed is very fast, as long as the copper rod is ready-made, at least ten bullets can be stamped out in a minute!" ”

"So fast!" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then a huge surprise quickly appeared on his face.

The idea of wanting to go to the military region disappeared at once, and without saying a word, he decided: "Let's go, go to the temporary station of the arsenal!" ”

In addition to Professor Li, seven or eight students were pointing around a small machine.

Next to the machine, a student is holding a copper rod that has been hammered out in advance and sticking it into the machine's feed port.

In the continuous roar, golden bullets ran out of the discharge port.

Wang Ping stood next to him and silently calculated, and there were only twelve bullets in one minute.

At this time, Professor Li next to him finally found Wang Ping next to him with a satisfied face, and then walked over with a proud face: "Director Wang, fortunately, I have modified the machine that integrates stamping and cutting, and it is perfect to use it to produce bullets." ”

"The principle of the machine is very simple, the feeding port sends the copper rod to the bullet mold made in advance, and under the drive of the motor, it is stamped into a bullet, and then the cutter cuts the formed bullet and the copper rod and separates it!"

"The principle is simple, and the equipment is armed very quickly. The only problem was the steel mold for stamping the bullet, and we polished more than a dozen scraps in a row to produce such a qualified product! It was very difficult, but luckily we solved the problem! ”

"Professor Li, you have made a great contribution to our arsenal! Ten to twelve bullets a minute, 15,000 bullets for 24 hours a day and a night, or 450,000 rounds in a month. If we get out the primer of the bullet and find a way to build a bullet reloading machine, then our arsenal will be able to produce 450,000 rounds of bullets a month, which is enough for a brigade to fight a medium-sized battle! The excited Wang Ping did not hesitate to praise Li Xuebin.

"Professor Li, I am just going to the military region, I will definitely personally ask Commander Nie of the military region for credit to you!"

Professor Zhou Wuzhou, who had just arrived at the arsenal, didn't know when he came over, and said directly with an unconvinced face: "Director Wang, I know the primer of the bullet, if you give me three times, I will definitely get the primer fire for you!" ”

"Okay, I believe in you, Professor Zhou. Like Professor Li, as long as you make a bullet primer, I will personally ask the military region for credit to you. Also, if you have any needs, just mention them to Instructor Huang, and he will do his best to meet you! ”

Not to be outdone, Li Xuebin asked: "Factory director, didn't you just say that you want a bullet reloading machine!" Now we have made the most basic cutting machine tools, drilling machines, milling machines, grinding machines, and processing some basic parts is no longer a problem. As long as you give me all the equipment you brought back yesterday, I promise that I will get you a bullet reloader within five days. If the equipment is sufficient, another bullet press will come out to further increase the output of bullets! ”

"All for you!" Wang Ping replied without thinking about it.

Then he stared at the two and asked, "What else is the problem, I'll solve it together!" ”

"I'm just going to the military region, and if I can't solve the problem, I can directly ask Commander Nie to help me solve it!"

Li Xuebin did not hesitate, and directly proposed: "Director Wang, there must be a problem, and the biggest problem is the power of the arsenal!" ”

"There are only two generators that are powered, and they can produce a limited amount of electricity and require a lot of fuel, which is not cost-effective. When I was in Bald Head Ridge, the devil mainly used two steam engines to drive the equipment directly. We have too much equipment here, it is not practical to use all the steam engines to power the power, and the consumption of oil to generate electricity is too great, so I plan to use the captured steam engines and generators to assemble two sets of steam engine-driven generators! ”

"In this case, only the coal-fired arsenal can be operated, but there are too many things involved, and the steam engine is very large after it is completed, and it can only be used fixedly. So, I hope you can provide the official site of the arsenal, and then arrange a sapper to cooperate with me as the foundation! ”

"Yes, instructor, you can arrange it!" Wang Ping agreed without thinking about it.

With the expectation of the future of the arsenal, two thousand absentees, as well as a large amount of materials and gold and silver, Wang Ping, who had been on the road for nearly five hours, finally arrived at the gate of the headquarters.

"Director Wang, I knew that as soon as you came to the military region, you would bring good things to the military region! This time I brought a lot of materials, and there are so many absenteeism! Tell me what the hell is going on! The chief of staff was happy when he saw Wang Ping's face, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"Report to the chief, Wang Ping was fortunate to live up to his life and successfully rescued Professor Zhou. Now that Professor Zhou has decided to join the arsenal and his students have stayed behind for the time being, I have arranged for our cadres to do their ideological work and strive to keep all of them. ”

"As for these absenteeism and materials, we brought them back when we rescued people!"

"Originally, I was going to be in the first division, but I thought that there were no other mobile troops in the military region except for the guard regiment, so I discussed it with the brigade commander of the independent journey, brought them all back, and sent them to the military region!"

"Mobile Troops!" Commander Nie was not a fool, and he immediately heard the meaning of Wang Ping's words. frowned, stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"Yes, it's a mobile unit!" After all, Wang Ping has more advanced ideas than this era and decades ago. Now that he has seen the current loophole in the military region, Wang Ping will definitely fill it. Without any hesitation and concealment, I just said my thoughts!
