At this time, the brigade commander had already started to feel worried.
Does the Eighth Route Army need machine guns? Of course you need it! The machine gun is a continuous shooting weapon, which can effectively provide fire suppression. The power of automatic weapons is very great. Qin Baoshan dared to run around Shandong and Hebei with hundreds of people, didn't he rely on automatic weapons and war horses?
The Eighth Route Army definitely needs machine guns. The number of machine guns in the Eighth Route Army's troops is seriously insufficient. These are objective facts.
However, if it is necessary to start making machine guns because of this, it seems to have entered another misunderstanding.
The Eighth Route Army lacks machine guns and also lacks bolt-action rifles! At present, machine guns are what the commanders of all troops look forward to the most. However, it may be more appropriate to use the resources for manufacturing machine guns to manufacture Bayi-style horse rifles. After all, if you want to win this war, you must manufacture With a large number of weapons, the Eighth Route Army must first solve the problem of quantity before considering quality.
As far as the present is concerned, some regular troops cannot carry a gun. At this time, is it appropriate to manufacture machine guns? Even if a machine gun is built, what about the bullets?
Li Yunlong's army needs more than 100,000 rounds of bullets a month. Who can afford it? Bolt-action rifles can also use reloaded bullets, but machine guns can only use original ones, otherwise the risk of jamming will greatly increase.
Who can satisfy such a demand? The entire Eighth Route Army in Shanxi can't just look at Li Yunlong and his independent cavalry regiment!
The brigade commander has already thought about this serious problem. To put it more bluntly, is the headquarters a bit drifting? Always think that your own military industry has developed, and you already have the confidence to produce machine guns?
Seeing that the brigade commander's face began to change after hearing Li Yunlong's words, Qin Baoshan knew that Li Yunlong had touched the brigade commander's heart. So, which aspect did he touch?
The superiors said that they want to trial-produce machine guns, so I will trial-produce them myself. After all, for the Eighth Route Army, machine guns are a necessary choice. How can an army fight without enough firepower? At present, the Eighth Route Army has been able to produce its own Type 81 horse rifles, but the machine guns are still captured, so it is obviously not as suitable as making them by itself.
"Our Eighth Route Army doesn't have that kind of foundation." The brigade commander said: "Li Yunlong, you have all the ammunition of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army in one regiment. How can the other Eighth Route Army fight?"
Li Yunlong didn't care about this sentence, he smiled on his face: "Others are other people's business, I will take care of my own troops, if my troops have enough machine guns"
"Old Li, don't say such words that don't have a big picture." Zhao Gang hurriedly pulled Li Yunlong aside. At this time, he already understood what the brigade commander meant. At this time, what Li Yunlong said would only offend the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong also seemed to see the ugly face of the brigade commander, so he didn't say any more.
"We don't have enough ammunition, so let's produce more ammunition." At this moment, Qin Baoshan said from the side: "Our Huangyadong arsenal is not enough, so we can build another Hongyadong arsenal. Pick up the little devil¡¯s railway, we don¡¯t have enough brass, so we¡¯ll find another brass mine and build a copper smelter. If we don¡¯t have enough propellant, we¡¯ll continue to build a gunpowder factory. In short, we¡¯ll build whatever is lacking. In short, If our Eighth Route Army wants to develop, and if our Eighth Route Army wants to fight devils, we must have weapons, if we don¡¯t have enough weapons, we will expand production, so why hesitate?¡±
If someone else said this, it would definitely be considered bragging, you boy, do you think it is easy to build a factory? Where does the machinery and equipment come from, and where does the personnel come from?
Others are bragging, but Qin Baoshan is not. Qin Baoshan got the equipment for the Huangyadong Arsenal. Qin Baoshan was built.
Others can't do it, but Qin Baoshan can!
What is the predicament the Eighth Route Army is facing now? If there are not enough resources or no foundation, then let¡¯s expand our foundation by ourselves. What¡¯s the problem? Everything here in Qin Baoshan is nothing to worry about.
"But where did the machinery and equipment come from?" asked the brigade commander.
Some of them can be mounted by the Eighth Route Army themselves, and some must be obtained from the outside world. Machinery and equipment are the most important among them. Without machinery and equipment, everything is useless.
"Get it from the devils." Qin Baoshan said: "We don't have it, the devils have it. Now, it is the time when the green gauze tent is at its peak. I suggest that we start a massive attack at this time. It's not just us in Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong. The big guys are fighting together. It just so happens that the situation is not particularly good recently. It's good to fight a big battleBoost the morale of the country. "
The Brigadier's eyes lit up.
This Qin Baoshan is simply amazing. This is also a military operation that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is planning. It is precisely because of the feeling that in order to complete this military operation, it is best to increase the firepower of some troops. The plan for a batch of machine guns came.
Now, Qin Baoshan is the cause and effect. If we want to expand the scale and improve the equipment of the army, then we should simply snatch it from the devils! Originally, I just wanted weapons to destroy the devil's communication lines, but now I changed it to obtain weapons and resources by destroying the devil's communication lines!
"Let's demolish the devil's railways on a large scale, such as Zhengtai Road, Pinghan Road, Tongpu Road, Baijin Road, these railways, let him have a good time!" Qin Baoshan said: "The rails that have been removed this time can at least be rebuilt. Let's use it for a year or two!"
Among other things, even in the current Huangyadong Armory, there are not many remaining rails, and the small ones are not enough at all, and the big ones must be made.
"The little devil's coal mine, for example, the Jingxing coal mine we went to last time, was not completely destroyed. This time, we went to completely destroy the coal mine, brought out the steam engine and the like inside, and the equipment was ready. By the way, Niangziguan will also be taken down, and there are equipments in Niangziguan Station. Or, if we are more courageous, we can go to Datong Coal Mine, there must be a lot of equipment there." Qin Baoshan said: "In short, this is the idea , among other things, it is no problem to build another arsenal similar to Huangyadong."
If one Huangyadong arsenal is not enough, then build another one, if it is not enough, then build another one!
In short, only by thoroughly developing the military industry can we fight devils better!
"What you said makes sense." The brigade commander said, "I will report this matter to the headquarters. This gun"
"Please send this gun to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army for testing." Qin Baoshan said, "It reflects the highest level of gun-making technology in our Huangyadong Armory Factory, which is no less than the military factories of the devils and the Kuomintang government. Already." (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
