Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 1098 Chapter 1107, there are so many people on the eight roads?
Laogou Armory Factory is the closest to Jiuzhai Armory Factory, so it got a cheap advantage and put the firearms production line here.However, compared with the power conditions of the Jiuzhai Armory, the power of the Laogou Arsenal is not good.Although there is a river here, the water volume is so poor that it cannot carry the hydroelectric generator at all.Moreover, Hu Changyi has no chance to produce a hydroelectric generator again.

Therefore, relying on the steam boiler and the processing machinery driven by the steam engine, it has become the main production force here.Also because of the river water, the hydraulically driven rifling machines and drilling machines placed beside the canal in the back of Hujia Village also have a large stock in Laogou.In fact, if Hu Changyi hadn't opened it up, Laogou would have been able to make the simplest human rifling machine by itself.

Well, it is the kind of simple bore cutting machine that uses steel rails as the platform and the turntable of the grinding disc as the power, and can process two barrels in one day.This is also called "coil gun barrel" among the workers, which vividly explains the production process.Of course, such equipment also exists now, but it no longer occupies the main force of production.

After sending away the firearms production line, what Jiuzhai Arsenal still retains is the production of Bayi Black Star pistols.With the continuous production of pistols, the number of pistols owned by the Eighth Route Army is soaring.

In the past, at most, the company commander would have a pistol, which was an old-fashioned box gun with a fixed magazine, which was very laborious; later, with the speed machine and the box gun with 20 rounds of extended magazines, it became a treasure. .

Up to now, the company commanders, platoon leaders, and even the chief and deputy squad leaders and the commando captains of the main regiments all have a black star pistol around their waists.In regiments like Li Yunlong, a large part of the ordinary fighters are equipped with black star pistols.Don't look at the magazine of this pistol only has 10 rounds of bullets, plus the chamber also has at most 11 rounds of bullets, but it can't stand the fact that it can produce it by itself, and it can guarantee the stock!
Moreover, the production line of 7.63mm Mauser pistol bullets in Jiuzhai Arsenal has been running all the time. The production line with a daily output of 20 rounds, in addition to routine maintenance, also produces more than [-] rounds of bullets a month.And it is precisely because of the guarantee of bullets that these main groups dare to equip Black Star pistols and box cannons on a large scale.Well, these two use the same type of bullet.

"Minister Zhang, our submachine guns are very popular in Mao Xiong's house. Have we equipped some?" Hu Changyi asked Minister Zhang that day.

"Isn't your team equipped? Aren't those ammunitionists and assaulters also equipped?" Minister Zhang asked with some doubts.

"What I mean is, should the main force regiment consider equipping each squad with a submachine gun? Just like the Jinsui Army, a squad has two flower organs, which are more powerful than devils." Hu Changyi said.

"Hmm..." Minister Zhang looked at Hu Changyi, reached out to pick up the kettle, pulled out the roasted sweet potato from the hearth, and slowly peeled the skin while turning his hands back and forth.After a long time, when the sweet potatoes were a bit cold and the scorched sweet potato skin peeled off, Minister Zhang said, "We have been stockpiling pistol bullets, and the troops rarely use pistols in battle."

"Now, it's time to resume the production of submachine guns! At least, it is still possible to ensure that each class of your division has two submachine guns... Hiss..." Minister Zhang thought of something, and suddenly raised his head: "In this way, your division The main squad has at least two semi-automatics, plus two submachine guns, one squad machine gun, one grenadier, and at least three pistols... This firepower..."

"Hey, it's all thanks to the comrades and workers, it's nothing!" Hu Changyi said with some complacency.

"Okay, everyone will never forget your contribution!" Minister Zhang handed the sweet potatoes to Hu Changyi, and then said: "This time, your special forces, the 386th Brigade Special Forces, the Cavalry Battalion and the Assault Battalion have made great contributions. ! This matter, the chief said very vividly: just got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan with Monkey Sun, and caused a world upside down!"

"From this battle, everyone has also seen the importance of better troops and simpler administration, and also seen how important it is to improve the level of weapons and equipment to improve combat effectiveness! And this has given us a development direction, that is, to build on the existing force base First, create some small-scale but well-equipped and well-trained teams. Such teams only need to concentrate on training and fighting, and no longer participate in local affairs."

"Do you know how many troops our Eighth Route Army has now?" Minister Zhang asked suddenly.

"Probably, there must be 40 people?" Hu Changyi said the number he remembered.

"40? Ha... That was last year! In the past few days, the headquarters has asked the underground team to report the establishment, and the reported figures are actual figures, and no one can hide their secrets! When the figures are aggregated, everyone is shocked. 52 people!" Minister Zhang raised his voice, showing how shocked he was.

"Here, so many? How could there be so many? How could there be so many? How can we feed so many troops?" Hu Changyi felt that his little wings were flapping a little hard.

"This is the problem! Everyone wants to expand and develop the team, but there are only so many bases, and the productivity is there. Even if you promote your agricultural development measures, the amount of increased production will not be able to meet the needs of the team! "Minister Zhang is in charge of the logistics. He is too familiar with the things here, so he will inevitably get angry.

"Hasn't our division commander been pursuing a policy of elite soldiers? Why are there so many? Could it be the 115th and 120th divisions?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Your commander understands the importance of the policy of elite soldiers! But...you can ask Li Yunlong, how many battalions does he have now? His mother has 7 battalions, and they are still fully staffed! He can catch up with every regiment. The strength of the last brigade! Just like him, it is not a special case, but a common situation! What do you think he needs so many troops for?" Minister Zhang was angry.

"Li Yunlong can become a division commander in the end, and his ability to pull the team makes Commander Chu feel terrible!" This is what Hu Changyi thought in his heart, but he said: "Can he afford these troops? And the equipment Where did it come from? What did the headquarters say in the end?"

"Li Yunlong can really support so many troops! I have to say that this kid is also capable! Moreover, he is currently guarding Yangcun, and the surrounding area is wide. He can support the troops by sending them out! As for the equipment? Didn’t he capture enough? There’s also a lot he got from you! But there’s only one Li Yunlong in the whole army, and the other regiment commanders are capable, but where they are stationed…”
