Not long after the "pop pop ......", a burst of gunfire rang out in the valley not far from the arsenal.

Ten fighters, one with ten rounds of ammunition, fired at targets of fifty meters, one hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, and two hundred meters. It didn't take long for the gunfire to stop.

As soon as Commander Nie's guard platoon commander rushed over, he reported: "Chief, there is no difference between these bullets and the new bullets that captured the devil. So the bullets are all on target, which is no different from the bullets I usually use, and the pass rate of the bullets is also very high, and there is only one dud bullet for a hundred reloading bullets! ”

"Yes, yes! Wang Ping, your arsenal has made great contributions, and after I go back, I will ask you for credit from the headquarters as soon as possible! The smile on Commander Nie's face became even stronger, and he praised him without hesitation.

"Thank you, Commander, this is mainly the credit of Professor Li and Professor Zhou, I suggest that when the headquarters sets a technical level for them, they can set an additional level as a reward, and at the same time, it can also encourage the enthusiasm of other people in the arsenal to learn!" Wang Ping said modestly.

"Yes, I'll suggest it to headquarters!" Commander Nie agreed without thinking about it.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and ordered: "Professor Li said that with the addition of one more bullet stamping machine, the output of reloaded bullets can be increased to 800,000 rounds a month." I ask the arsenal to increase the production of reloading ammunition as soon as possible, and if possible, to add one or two more reloading lines. For us in the Eighth Route Army, the more bullets, the better! ”

"Also, what are the requirements, just mention. I will be satisfied if I can meet the arsenal, and if I can't meet it, I will create conditions to meet it! ”

"There are a few requests!" Wang Ping did not hesitate!

"The first requirement is the bullet casing, which is definitely unrealistic and cannot meet the needs of the arsenal just by collecting it by itself!"

"On the battlefield, the Japanese puppet army can take away their weapons, but the bullet casings will never take away. I hope that the commander will mobilize all the main forces of the military district, local troops, and even partisans, to collect bullet casings as much as possible! In addition, the arsenal will not let them collect in vain, and anyone who takes the initiative to send the bullet shell to the arsenal can go to the arsenal to exchange two bullet shells for a reloading bullet! ”

"No problem, I promise, after this order is issued, the commanders and regiment commanders below will definitely go crazy!" Commander Nie directly agreed.

"The military region is so big, almost every day we have troops fighting with devils, and the little devils have enough ammunition, and they never consider ammunition consumption when they start a war. Often, we can attract more than a dozen, or even dozens, or hundreds of bullets from a single bullet. ”

"I'm sure, after this order is issued, the troops below will definitely take the initiative to find the devil's bad luck, if nothing else, just the bullet casings left on the battlefield after the devil retreats!"

Wang Ping assured loudly: "Please rest assured, the output of the arsenal will be increased as soon as possible." When the time comes, the reloading bullets of the arsenal will definitely meet the needs of the front-line troops! ”

Commander Nie was very satisfied with this answer, and at the same time believed that Wang Ping would definitely be able to do it since he said it.

Then he continued to ask: "What other requirements are put forward together?" ”

"Reloading also requires copper and gunpowder, and it's also a high explosive. Therefore, it is hoped that after the military divisions have seized these materials, they will be sent to the military districts! ”

"Also, copper ingots and gunpowder can't all rely on front-line combat troops, and the arsenal itself has to find a way!"

"My idea is to seize and produce it myself!"

"We can conduct small-scale mining around the copper mines proven by the devils, and then smuggle the ore back to the military region for smelting~"

"In terms of gunpowder, I will ask Professor Zhou to organize students to conduct research to see if we can produce it on a large scale."

"As for the seizure, in addition to relying on the front-line combat troops, our arsenal itself must also make targeted attacks, specializing in the devil's mines and the troops transporting ore. However, as a result, the defensive forces of the arsenal were insufficient. Therefore, I would like to ask the chief for two more companies! ”

"Do you kid want to fight again!" Commander Nie stared at Wang Ping and asked sharply.

"It's a bit of an idea!" Wang Ping didn't hide it!

"I agree to your request!" This time, Commander Nie thought for almost half a minute before agreeing.

Just when a flash of surprise quickly flashed on Wang Ping's face, Commander Nie changed his words and continued: "If you want to fight, I won't stop you. However, the development of the arsenal cannot be left behind. A month later, the monthly output of reloaded bullets exceeded 800,000 rounds, and half a year later, the production of reloaded bullets would reach 3 million rounds! ”

"If possible, the arsenal should also be able to produce its own bullets, mortar shells, and even rifles, light and heavy machine guns, artillery!"

In such a short period of time, the arsenal has made reloading bullets, and Commander Nie, who was not optimistic about the arsenal, is also full of confidence in the future of the arsenal at this time.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, before the chief of staff ran in front of the deputy commander-in-chief, a voice full of excitement blurted out.

"Good news, boss, from today onwards, we have our own arsenal!"

The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a look of incomprehension: "Arsenal? Didn't we have it a long time ago? ”

"That's the formation of the arsenal! Now it's different, we started mass production of ammunition at the arsenal in Wutai. ”

"This is a telegram from Lao Nie, and now the arsenal has begun to reload bullets, 15,000 rounds of ammunition per day, and after a month, the output can reach 30,000 rounds. This is only the output of a reloading production line, Lao Nie said, the arsenal is trying to find a way to get the second or even the third bullet reloading production line. At that time, the reloading bullets that came out of the arsenal would be nearly 100,000 rounds a day! ”

"What about the quality of the bullets? It's not like we haven't done it in the Soviet zone before, the quality is so poor that the fighters don't want to use it! ”

"Very good, Lao Nie said in the telegram, there is no difference between it and the new bullet, and the pass rate is more than ninety out of five!"

"In addition, Lao Nie also said that the arsenal will launch grenades next, and strive to produce grenades on a large scale within a month!"

"And then it's about producing bullets directly yourself, producing shells!"

"There is also good news, a rifle, except for the barrel, they can polish and produce other parts by themselves. Therefore, Lao Nie hoped that the intelligence department of the headquarters would pay more attention to where there was equipment to make gun barrels, and strive to carry it back a few times. This way, we will be able to produce our own rifles! ”

At this time, the boss had no other words to describe his current mood except shock.

It's only been a long time since an arsenal started production from scratch.

After the shock, the boss's face was covered with a huge surprise, and then he ordered: "Send a telegram to the troops below immediately, and in the future war, all the bullet casings will be collected for me." When the time comes, I will use these bullet casings to do business with Lao Nie and exchange bullets! ”

"Lao Nie said in the telegram that as long as it is a unit of the Eighth Route Army, two bullet shells can be exchanged for one bullet in the arsenal!"

"In addition, if the troops capture a large number of high explosives and copper ingots, they must be sent to Wutai, these are the necessary raw materials for reloading bullets, and the arsenal can be exchanged for bullets, and the troops will definitely not suffer!"

"This old Nie, the business has been done here. However, I like this kind of business! The deputy commander-in-chief affirmed directly.

"Chief of Staff, order you to give it. Although the output of reloading bullets is not enough to satisfy the whole army, it can already solve many problems for our Eighth Route Army! ”
