Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 628 Chapter 637, the beauty of Jiuzhaigou and the new killer

Looking at the entire base area, the people in Jiuzhaigou are the best place to live their lives.Well, none of them is the best.

In terms of agriculture, Hu Changyi obtained high yields of sweet potatoes and good varieties of potatoes from the system.Therefore, while keeping a small amount of pure grain crops such as wheat and corn, the people used a large amount of arable land to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the yield was considerable.

According to Minister Zhang's estimation, with Jiuzhai as the center, including the cultivated land in several surrounding towns, there is no problem in feeding the nine detachments and several main groups with the grain harvest this season.That's all, not including the rations left by the people themselves and the grain used to make wine.

brewing?Of course the sweet potatoes were burnt, what else can I say?The yield of sweet potatoes is so high. The excess sweet potatoes can be used to make sweet potato starch, and the starch can be used to make nitrated starch explosives, vermicelli, and sweet potato roasts, which can be exchanged with Mao Xiong.

As for the potatoes that are also high in starch?Except for the difference in taste, the use is not much different from sweet potatoes, right?At best, vermicelli can be called potato flour...

In addition to these, a lot of cultivated land has been newly opened on the mountain. Under the command of Sun Langzhong, a large number of Chinese herbal medicines have been planted in these cultivated lands.These Chinese herbal medicines can be used as wound medicine to stop the bleeding of the wounded, and can also treat various diseases, which are the guarantee of medical treatment.

In addition, those jujube trees, walnut trees and other fruit trees grafted in spring.These fruit trees take advantage of the original geographical environment of the rootstock, make full use of the root system of the rootstock to take root in the mountains and the nutrition of the sequels over the years to supply the new branches on the grafting.

As a result, the hillsides that were originally covered with wild tree species such as wild jujube, walnut, catalpa, prunus, etc. became Huaguo Mountain full of jujube trees, thin-skinned walnuts, apricots, and persimmon trees.Now is the time when jujubes are ripe, because they have only been grafted for a year or two, so among the jujube trees all over the mountain, there are only a few jujubes hidden in the emerald green leaves, which attract the hungry eyes of the children... ...Well, there are still persimmons on the persimmon tree over there?But still blue...

Although the weather is good this year, the comrades of the main regiments stationed around Jiuzhai still help the people build some water conservancy facilities for the farmland.For example, the Nanwei Quan River was fully utilized, and several irrigation canals were built for irrigation.

As the grain output increased, the aquaculture industry followed suit.The common people are industrious, especially when facing the land, the common people will show the greatest respect and effort to pay in order to obtain a year's harvest.Now, the land gives rich returns, so animal husbandry has followed suit.

For example, some are not suitable for planting Chinese herbal medicines, but there are inappropriate places for planting food. Hu Changyi also asked people to "find (produced by his own system)" to plant a lot of forage.The common people have never seen this kind of forage. Only Hu Changyi knows that it is called Huangzhu grass. It is a kind of gramineous forage with a growth period of up to 25 years. It is extremely nutritious and most suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

With these small areas of grass, plus all kinds of green grass cut by adults and children from the mountains, the pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, mules and other poultry raised by the common people grow exceptionally well.Of course, the pig farms of the Ninth Detachment are the ones that grow the best. After all, there are raised earthworms to increase protein intake for pigs.

Moreover, because of Hu Changyi's management, the Ninth Detachment also had their own army-reclaimed farmland, which was opened up by the soldiers after training.The most planted in these farmlands is the emperor bamboo grass. The purpose is to raise large livestock such as cattle, pack horses and donkeys, which are numerous in the Ninth Detachment. Pig farms also provide them.

别怀疑皇竹草的产量，它的亩年产鲜草4~5万斤，可喂4~6头牛，20~40头羊，200~400只兔子。

As for whether the source of pasture will cause doubts?Hu Changyi believed that he was able to rely on the abilities of the devils.For example, it is enough to replace the captured devil's food with a few bags.Of course, due to the season and climate, the output of Huangzhucao in Jiuzhai is not so high, but it is still possible to harvest more than ten tons of fresh grass per mu of land.

In short, under Hu Changyi's "secret operation", the animal husbandry industry in Jiuzhai and nearby villages has developed rapidly, among which Jiuzhai is the best.

Jiuzhai has a good life, not only in agriculture, but also in other aspects.For example, the teachers who follow the children to the fields every day will lead the children to learn knowledge, master characters, and master arithmetic. The benefits to the common people can be seen by everyone.

After entering the second half of the year, the village chiefs of the villages in Jiuzhai and the militia captains got together to discuss this, and they simply vacated some empty houses in the village, so that the children could have a safe place to go to class.Well, it's good enough, even though there's only half a day in class and the rest of the time you have to work.

Agriculture, education, and medical care are all guaranteed, and the common people still have places to work hard to earn money.The most profitable ones are naturally the grenade production teams in each village.The old and the young men worked collectively to turn the sand and cast the shell with pig iron.The older girls and the younger daughters-in-law gathered together to divide the process and assemble the grenade.

In addition to making grenades, there are also those who work in soap workshops, military ration workshops, clothing factories, lighter factories, cigarette factories... military shoes?This can be done at home after taking back the materials, and Minister Zhang will pay for it.

In short, the wages earned this month are enviable.In addition, there are many rare items that have been seized, and they can also buy them first.For example, which doll is born without milk, and can buy milk powder from the logistics department with the certificate issued by the arsenal.

That's right, the seized Japanese milk powder, in addition to supplying the wounded with nutrition, can also allow the common people to buy one or two cans, especially those with children serving as soldiers at home, and the price is very cheap.Milk powder is a good thing these days, at least you can rest assured...

Therefore, without knowing it, Jiuzhai, where the arsenal is located, has become a paradise under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders.Of course, this paradise-like existence is guarded by countless soldiers with blood, and the common people know that this peace is hard-won, and they are all working hard.

The common people are working hard, and the workers in the arsenal are naturally working hard, and they have redoubled their efforts.

For example, on the bullet production line, in addition to those seized (purchased by the system), those self-made production lines are also rolling off the production line one by one.Even if many processes require manual intervention and take up a lot of manpower, it is enough to make bullets, what else do you ask for?

The production of bullets has been increasing, the production of firearms has remained stable, and the production of artillery has become the focus, especially the production of heavy pressure.According to Minister Zhang, no matter what, a brigade must have 10 to 20 120 heavy pressures as support firepower, right?
As for the Eighth Route Army, with the increase of troops, many new brigade-level units are also increasing, and there are also more and more regiment-level units with various numbers.

In short, the various numbers made Hu Changyi dizzy, and I don't know how Minister Zhang can distinguish them so carefully...

There is also the 82nd force as regiment-level artillery fire. Minister Zhang means that a regiment will first come to 8 mortars to establish a mortar company. A company must have at least 800 rounds of shells as combat ammunition.Based on this requirement, the arsenal's monthly production capacity can only supply 5 regiments, and this is still the case when there is no battle.

Therefore, under the arrangement of Minister Zhang, the various arsenals below have also increased the production of artillery shells.Although they do not yet have the ability to produce fuzes, it is enough to be able to produce shells, tail fins, and explosives.The precise fuze was made by Jiuzhai itself.

In addition, according to the latest summary report, the Bayi-style horse rifles produced by the surrounding arsenals have already shown their presence in various units. Many newly formed regiments can always receive hundreds of new Bay-one-style horse rifles as The initial baseline weapon.Want more?Take it yourself...

There is also a shotgun, which is the favorite of the guerrillas, and the production volume is also increasing, because the weight is a bit high because of the material.

"So, the situation of our Eighth Road is very good! Not bad..." In Minister Zhang's office, Hu Changyi was also happy as he looked at the many documents.After all, all of these have his influence in it, so why not honor it?

"Yeah! This is not ignorance, it's shocking! Our arsenal's monthly output is added up, and it's no problem to arm a regiment. It's still the kind of large regiment with three main battalions and one supplementary battalion. !” Minister Zhang took a sip of tea and said confidently.

"Where's the ammunition? Can the ammunition be afforded?" Hu Changyi picked up which pot he didn't open.

"What do you think? Apart from your nine detachments and the 386th brigade, which has won a big battle, which unit in the whole army has enough ammunition? Let's put it this way, if the size of our ammunition workshop is tripled, it is still not enough! "Minister Zhang glared at Hu Changyi and said.

"So, we still need to work hard! Hey, Uncle Zhang, our grenades should be enough, right?" Hu Changyi laughed.

"Ha...of course it is enough! Let alone the militia ammunition made in our villages, those military ammunition are manufactured under low production capacity, so they can arm a brigade a month, right?" Minister Zhang has a lot of them, because The daily output of military ammunition is only 1000, which is 30000 a month, enough for a brigade.

Well, if the output is released, assembling tens of thousands of them a day is just a matter of tight hands.It's just because those high-explosive TNT, digested starch, Kaizi explosives, etc. need to be provided to the shell workshop, so the output can only be controlled.

The militia version is the one that adds granules of black powder to ensure that the fragments have sufficient lethality within 10 meters, and the number of fragments is controlled at 100 or more.

There are two military versions, one is a cast iron version with hundreds of prefabricated fragments, and the other is a double-layer wrought iron shell with hundreds of steel ball fragments in the interlayer.Explosive power?The manual states that it has an effective killing distance of 7 meters. It really exploded, and the fragments can cut through the skin at a distance of 70 meters.

"So, shall we still produce the militia version of the grenade?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Continue to make, even if you can make 5000 a day, you can arm a regiment if you send it to the front! I heard that although the guerrillas under us cannot guarantee that every guerrilla has a gun and bullets, they can guarantee that every guerrilla Team members have at least 5 grenades to use."

"Especially the militia grenade made according to the formula of the arsenal. After the explosion, there will be a burst of black smoke, and the lethality is not low. When the guerrillas were in an ambush, a row of grenades were thrown out and exploded, and a burst of smoke rose, which could also injure Blow up the devils around you."

"Then, the guerrillas charged up with red-tasseled guns and large blades, and shotguns together. The results were not bad! This year in Jizhong District, some devils went to the countryside to grab food. Those teams of 20 people who grabbed food were not uncommon. The guerrillas are in ambush!" Minister Zhang smiled triumphantly.

"Then, what happened to the Model Brigade, the Model Brigade you've always been playing with?" Hu Changyi asked cautiously.

"The 386 and 385 of your division have been completed, and now you are arming the 120 brigade for the 359th division. What's the matter, you are still interested in this? Looking at the entire Eighth Route, the firepower of your Ninth Detachment is the strongest, so don't think about other things." That's it." Minister Zhang laughed.

"I still think it's good to vigorously develop sharpshooters, use a large number of sniper rifles as the main part of the battle, and then fight devils sporadically! Minister Zhang, this month, I newly assembled 100 semi-automatic sniper rifles, and the scope is standard 3x mirror, you always want to pass it on." Hu Changyi said.

"The sniper rifle is a good thing... With that scope, comrades can kill the devil's machine gunner at a distance of 500 meters. It's a good thing! But if you come to my place today, shouldn't you take me to see you? Is that the big killer?" Minister Zhang changed the subject.

"I know that I can't hide anything from you! I was thinking of mixing more good tea with you!" Hu Changyi said.

"You hoo? There's no snarl? What's the matter, this thing doesn't work?" Minister Zhang knew that Hu Changyi had created the long cannon grenade.

"Things are naturally good things. I just want to ask, how is our oil field?" Hu Changyi asked.

"This thing has only been delivered for a month, right? It's only been a few days... Don't worry, we're running out of gasoline, let's go to the devils to change it!" Minister Zhang said.

"I heard that a lot of fat field powder has been exchanged?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Yeah, fertilizer powder is cheap. The little devils distribute it to the people for free in their occupied areas, so that the people can buy more food, so they can get more military rations. But the devils of the Fourth Division really have a way, ten tons and ten tons The fat field powder said that it can be exchanged for it, and the yen we seized will also be charged." Minister Zhang said.

"Hey... With Feitian powder, we don't need any explosives, right?" Hu Changyi laughed.

"Of course, fat field powder is a good thing. Let's go and see your personal weapon?" Minister Zhang laughed.

"No problem, at this moment, the shooting range should be set up, let's go!" Hu Changyi got up and said.

Soon, Minister Zhang took Hu Changyi, the guard squad, and the special warfare platoon to the shooting range of the arsenal.On the shooting range side, the testers have completed the layout of the proving ground for the long artillery grenades and air-burst salute cannons.

That's right, the newly completed long artillery grenade, which is a big killer for individual soldiers, has finally appeared after these days of trial production.
