At the First Aircraft Factory of the Eighth Route Army, the representatives of the Allied Forces and the Air Force, accompanied by the leaders of the Eighth Route Army, visited the aircraft factory, and they were very shocked by the advanced management, processing equipment, and assembly process of this aircraft factory, which was even better than that of the American factory.

Just after the visit, there was a roar in the sky outside, and everyone knew that this must be the return of long-range bombers and fighters on mission.

The representatives of the Allied and Air Forces, seeing that all the planes had returned, were very surprised, because in their impressions, it seemed that there had not been a single combat mission, and many of them would come back.

Every pilot, especially the bomber pilot, carries out the mission with his head in his head, and there will be some losses.

But this time it turned out that there was really no loss of planes, didn't they complete the bombing mission?

After all these fighters and bombers have landed one by one, the answer will be revealed.

Several Allied pilots excitedly ran up to their representatives and gave a report on the course of the operation.

Suddenly, the expressions of the senior representatives of the Allied forces changed, and their mouths opened into an O-shape, they didn't expect that the fighters and bombers of the Eighth Route Army were so powerful that they could really achieve zero casualties, originally they heard the news before, and they didn't believe it, but now they have to believe it, it seems that these two planes are really worth buying.

Soon, the Allied high-ranking representatives made a decision to order 150 long-range bombers and 300 Fury fighters this time, and then they would definitely be able to place additional orders in the future.

Of course, if possible, another way can also be mapping, imitation, so that it does not cost money, but some troubles, in wartime is not too preferable, you can also buy out by buying a production license, or how much money is spent at a time.

So the next step is to negotiate.

When the leaders of the Eighth Route Army saw the high-ranking representatives of the Allied forces and officially proposed to buy 150 long-range bombers and 300 Fury fighters, they couldn't believe how much money they would make with so many orders.

And this is not over, the Allied high-ranking representative actually put forward a request to buy a production license, which is very easy to do, just give them the drawings, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Of course, in terms of price, it was not so easy to negotiate, and after a day of negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement, and the Allies ordered 150 long-range bombers and 300 Fury fighters, with unit prices of 360,000 US dollars and 50,000 US dollars respectively.

In addition, the Allies wanted to buy the production licenses of these two aircraft, and the price was quite a lot, reaching tens of millions of dollars respectively, and the total value of this contract reached an astonishing 110 million dollars.

With such a large contract order, it can be said that the Eighth Route Army will make a fortune.

Not only that, but the Chinese Air Force is also making additional orders, which are tens of millions of dollars.

This time the Eighth Route Army is really going to make a profit, Duan Qupeng has made a great contribution again, and as soon as the customer leaves, the leaders are very happy to give Duan Qupeng a big reward.

Now Duan Qupeng can be said to be a great hero of the Eighth Route Army, with so many orders, of course, the factory is going to start at full strength, and now the production task is indeed too busy, for which Duan Yunpeng also applied for special recruitment from his superiors, and thousands of workers joined.

At this time, the total number of people in the entire arsenal had reached 8,000 people, which was equivalent to a reinforced regiment.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, so when the New Year came, the first batch of twenty 122-mm towed howitzers finally completed production and were ready for delivery.

Today, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army are here again, as well as the artillery regiment of the Eighth Route Army that received these heavy artillery.

You must know that the artillery regiment was very poor when Duan Yunpeng had not yet come.

The earliest artillery regiment was still in the battlefield behind the enemy in North China, picked up more than a dozen field artillery pieces from the river, and later in the battle continued to capture enemy artillery, the number of artillery increased, the Eighth Route Army headquarters decided to form an artillery regiment.

Two years ago, when the artillery regiment was formed, there were only 12 mountain guns in the regiment.

Now, the artillery regiment is equipped with a large number of 80-mm field guns, 100-mm mortars, and Gatling guns.

Of course, the 20 122-mm howitzers that are about to be added to the list will become the main equipment of the artillery regiment.

You must know that the power of this large-caliber howitzer is not comparable to that of field artillery mortars.

An artillery wing of the devil is generally more than 30 to 40 guns, and it is generally 75 mm field artillery and 105 mm howitzers.

The 75-millimeter mountain artillery equipped by the little devil is mainly equipped in the infantry wing, of course, the artillery wing also has a small amount of equipment, this kind of mountain artillery is very light, two people can push and run, the weight is only 540 kilograms, the maximum firing range reaches 6,300 meters, and a shell weighs more than 5 kilograms.

As for the devil's 105-millimeter gun, it is actually very light, weighing only 800 kilograms, and the barrel is relatively short at only 1.3 meters, so the firing range is relatively close, only 7,500 meters, and the weight of a shell is only more than 12 kilograms, which is far less powerful than a 122-millimeter howitzer.

The devil's new 105-millimeter cannon has a range of 11 kilometers, and it weighs more than two tons, and a shell weighs 16 kilograms, which is relatively powerful, but it is not as powerful as the 122 howitzer made by Duan Qupeng.

The real heavy artillery of the Devil Artillery Wing is the Type 96 150-mm field gun, which weighs more than four tons, has a barrel length of 3.5 meters, a maximum firing range of 12 kilometers, and a shell volume of 30 kilograms.

However, it is still a little worse than the one-two-two howitzer, although the caliber is larger, but the firing range is insufficient, and the rate of fire is not comparable.

So now the artillery regiment of the Eighth Route Army is about to have heavy artillery, how can the leaders not be happy, this time the leaders and the artillery regiment came to the arsenal together, ready to receive these heavy artillery.

Twenty heavy cannons, but they were neatly arranged in front of the leaders.

The leaders saw that there were so many heavy artillery, they didn't dare to think about it before, but now it's different, the arsenal handed over the first batch, and then the second batch will be built, and when the time comes, it will be equipped with hundreds of heavy artillery, and the little devil must cry.

After all, with so many heavy artillery, you can form multiple artillery regiments.

In a solemn atmosphere, the handover ceremony was quickly completed.
