Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Brigadier, don't worry, I will not delay the mission." Li Jin said.

"Well, let's go, I'll take you to the arsenal to find someone." The brigade commander nodded, stood up and said.

"Looking for it now?! It won't affect some manufacturing in the arsenal, right?!" Li Jin said, he thought the brigade commander would be looking for someone to give him after a while.

"No, you will escort them when you go back tomorrow, otherwise I won't worry about having to be escorted by troublesome people then," the brigade commander said.

He was worried about letting others escort him, and the soldiers from the special operations battalion around him were unlikely to agree to leave him to escort others, so it was just right to let Li Jin escort him now.

"Okay." Li Jin nodded without saying anything more, and then he followed the brigade commander out of the conference room. The political commissar did not follow and was dealing with things.

"Actually, our arsenal doesn't make many things. We only produce grenades and bullets, or repair broken guns." The brigade commander said as he walked, followed by Qin Yuanxin and a soldier.

Their arsenal is not very advanced, but rather backward. Because it lacks many things, and more importantly, it lacks machine tools, some parts cannot be produced by their arsenal at all.

Although grenade bombs can be produced, their power is hard to describe. Some grenade bombs have their fuses pulled out and thrown out, and they may be dumb bombs.

But for them now, dumb bombs are better than no bombs at all. At least they can be thrown out so that the Japanese can see them and dodge them to delay the bombs for a while.

Even if the Japs knew that their grenade bombs might be dumb bombs, they didn't dare to bet that if they exploded, or if there were a few powerful grenade bombs, they could still be killed.

As for the bullets, many times, due to insufficient gunpowder filling and insufficient power, the effective range of the bullets is less than fifty or sixty meters, and the deterrent effect is not enough.

As for guns, it's even more difficult. They still can't make guns, let alone their own guns. It's impossible for them to produce Hanyang-made or Chinese-made rifles.

"Well, now that we have machine tools, it should be a lot better. The grenades and bullets we can make should be much more powerful." Li Jin said.

I remember when Li Yunlong went to get the grenade bombs, he said that the grenade bombs produced by their arsenal were very bad, and they only exploded in half and were very weak.

But even so, Li Yunlong had to have it, and was even willing to trade his wife for fifty boxes of grenades. There was no other way, it was better to have it than not.

"Yes, I sent you to Wuhan before, and it was really a party. Not only did I ask you to rescue Lavki, but you also bombed the Japanese airport.

Now, Lavky has sent advanced machine tools, giving us a foundation for development. "The brigade commander sighed.

If Li Jin hadn't chosen to blow up the Japanese airport, he probably wouldn't have met Lavky later, let alone saved him, and there would have been no need for Lavky to deliver the machine tool.

"It's all over now, let's think more about how to use machine tools to develop our guns." Li Jin said.

If I remember correctly, it will take another half a year for the Eighth Route Army's Type 81 horse rifle to be produced. That gun is quite powerful, but unfortunately the output is not large.

"This is natural." The brigade commander said. It was not easy to get machine tools and be able to make parts that could not be produced before. It would be a pity if we did not make good use of them.

The two of them walked and talked.

Not long after, we arrived at the logistics department.

"brigadier!"

"brigadier!"

After seeing the brigade commander, several soldiers guarding the door saluted him one after another, and the brigade commander nodded in response.

"Is Minister Zhang over there in the office?!" the brigade commander asked.

"Yes." The soldier nodded.

"Well, you can continue to stand guard." said the brigade commander.

"Yes!"

"Li Jin, let's go." The brigade commander called Li Jin to pass the checkpoint.

After some time passed, several soldiers began to discuss in low voices.

"Who is following the brigade commander?! Why does it feel like the brigade commander takes him seriously?" said a soldier.

He could still tell that the brigade commander valued the person next to him very much, and it was quite rare to walk side by side with him.

"I don't know, the brigade commander seemed to have called him Li Jin just now." Another soldier also said.

"Okay, stand guard and don't whisper to each other." The squad leader said, telling the two of them not to discuss these things.

However, he seemed to have heard Minister Zhang mention the name Li Jin before when chatting with others, but he couldn't hear it clearly. In short, he was a very powerful person.

Li Jin and the brigade commander were walking on the road, checking the terrain from time to time and subconsciously writing down the route.

"You kid are not memorizing the route, are you?" After the brigade commander saw it, he couldn't help laughing and said, why is this kid so cautious when he reaches his own territory.

"Hehe, I can't help it. I'm used to it. After all, you need to remember both the attack route and the retreat route in a war, otherwise I won't worry." Li Jin chuckled.

He is relatively cautious in this regard. The lives of the soldiers are related to it. If you are not cautious, let alone him, the soldiers below will be like this.

Because once you run the wrong route, you are likely to be in danger, so it is still important to memorize various routes before fighting.

"Well, this is also the reason why you reassure me. It is good to be cautious in fighting. Think more about something, that is, be responsible for the soldiers and let them reduce casualties." The brigade commander said.

Li Jin basically doesn't have to worry about fighting. Although this kid is young, he has commanded many battles and annihilated many enemies.

Now in the Eighth Route Army, the unit that has annihilated the most Japs is Li Jin's unit. You must know that in other places, the Japs are annihilated in regiment-level and brigade-level units.

Only Li Jin's special operations battalion, at the company level and battalion level, was able to annihilate many Japanese soldiers. This is a terrible statistic.

Not to mention the bandits that Li Jin suppressed. In just a few campaigns, the bandits he annihilated started out as tens of thousands of people.

Spread out evenly, every soldier is carrying dozens or hundreds of lives. Such an army is like an enemy-killing machine, how can it not be terrifying?

"brigadier."

"Meet the brigade commander!"

There were passing soldiers saluting the brigade commander along the way. These soldiers were basically veterans. The logistics department was still very important because their arsenal was also here.

"We're here." The brigade commander led Li Jin into a courtyard.

There are two soldiers here protecting Minister Zhang.

When the two saw the brigade commander, they were about to salute, but were interrupted by the brigade commander raising his hand. The brigade commander took Li Jin into the room.

At this time, Minister Zhang was checking the ammunition application approval slips of each unit.

"Old Zhang, you're busy." The brigade commander smiled as soon as he came in. Minister Zhang is a few years older than the brigade commander, so it makes sense to call him "Old Zhang."

"Brigadier! Why are you here!" Upon seeing this, Minister Zhang stood up quickly and planned to salute.

"No, no, no, don't go to such trouble." The brigade commander stopped him quickly.

Minister Zhang stopped and glanced at Li Jin, who was following the brigade commander.

"Who is this?!" Minister Zhang asked. The person who can be brought here by the brigade commander is obviously someone who is valued by the brigade commander.

"He is Li Jin, the commander of the special operations battalion. He is indispensable for our brigade's rapid development." The brigade commander introduced with a smile.

"You are Li Jin. I heard the brigade commander talk about you. This is the first time I have seen you. You are indeed extraordinary." After hearing this, Minister Zhang also smiled on his face.

He knew that the Logistics Department had recently acquired so many weapons, which was all done by Li Jin and others. They also relieved many troops who were in urgent need of weapons and ammunition.

"Minister Zhang was joking. This is what I should do. But Minister Zhang was worried about the ammunition problem of each unit before. He worked very hard." Li Jin praised.

As the head of the Logistics Department, ammunition must be distributed to other troops in a balanced manner. Many times, due to insufficient ammunition, the troops' requested quantities are not met when given.

For this reason, Minister Zhang also gave up a lot of effort, and probably urged the arsenal to produce ammunition faster.

"No, no, it's just a matter of duty. It's not so hard now." Minister Zhang said with a smile. This was thanks to Li Jin for getting so many things.

"By the way, Brigadier, you must have other things to do. Don't tell me that you just brought Li Jin here to see me. I am not a three-year-old child." Minister Zhang continued.

The brigade commander wouldn't do such a thing. He must have other things to do when he brought Li Jin here.

However, he really couldn't guess what the specific matter was. If Li Jin came to ask for ammunition, he wouldn't believe it.

Apart from anything else, Li Jin's special operations camp definitely has plenty of guns and ammunition, especially in terms of ammunition. There is probably a lot of it. You need to come to the logistics department to get ammunition, let alone the brigade commander coming in person. There must be a difference. Case.

"I'll take Li Jin to see the arsenal and transfer a few technicians from the arsenal to Li Jin," the brigade commander said directly.

"Ah?! Transfer technicians to Li Jin?!" Minister Zhang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He never expected that the brigade commander would transfer people to Li Jin, and he would also transfer technicians from the arsenal.

"Yes." The brigade commander nodded.

"No, brigade commander, there are not many technicians in the arsenal. If they are transferred, the ammunition produced by the arsenal will be reduced a lot." Minister Zhang said quickly.

There are not many technicians in their arsenal, and there are not many people who can make grenades and bullets. If they are transferred, it will definitely affect the ammunition production.

"Besides, brigade commander, what does Li Jin want these technicians to do? He doesn't want to build an arsenal, does he?" Minister Zhang continued, and he was stunned when he finished talking.

"What do you think?!" The brigade commander smiled.

"Ah?! No, doesn't Li Jin only have one battalion, and one battalion will build an arsenal?! By the way, have you found the materials for the arsenal?" said Minister Zhang.

They only built an arsenal for one brigade, and the ammunition they supplied was not only for the 386th Brigade but also for other units. Li Jin had to build an arsenal for one battalion? ! Is it that easy to do?

"Old Zhang, don't worry about this. I'm here to tell you another good thing. We have machine tools." said the brigade commander.

"Machine tool?! Did you buy a machine tool?! Which country did you buy it from?!" Minister Zhang said quickly, he was a little excited. He had been greedy for machine tools for a long time. With machine tools, the output of their arsenal can be Promoted.

Some parts that were not available before can also be made with machine tools. The most important thing is that they are likely to make their own guns. Being able to produce guns is the basis for the development of an army.

"I didn't buy it, it was given as a gift." The brigade commander smiled.

"A gift?! Brigadier, please don't kid me. Machine tools are so expensive. You may not be able to get them back even if they cost more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan. Who would give us such an important thing?" said Minister Zhang. , he looked unbelieving.

"Why are you lying to me? It's really a gift from someone else. The machine tool is now stored in the warehouse of the brigade headquarters. I'll have it delivered to you tonight," the brigade commander said.

"Who sent it?!" Minister Zhang asked immediately after seeing that the brigade commander believed it.

"For a German, speaking of it, it is Li Jinli's credit. The German was rescued by Li Jin, otherwise he would have been killed by the little devil.

Then the German, in order to repay us, gave us machine tools. "The brigade commander explained briefly.

"Li Jin! You kid, you are such a damn lucky star!" After hearing this, Minister Zhang couldn't help but cursed in excitement.

No wonder the brigade commander brought Li Jin here. The relationship has made a great contribution, so it doesn't matter how many technicians are left. It's not impossible to have a few more.

After all, with the advent of machine tools, things that were previously made manually can be replaced by machine tools, which can save a lot of time.

The quality of artificially made things is not good enough, and the output is still a bit low. Now, with machine tools, they can not only increase the output, but also increase the power of ammunition and be able to kill more enemies.

"Come on, come with us to the arsenal." The brigade commander smiled.

"Okay, let's go, Brigadier please." Minister Zhang nodded quickly.

Then several people walked towards the valley behind the logistics department.

"It's good now. When we make our own guns, we will definitely let the little devils have a taste of our power!" Minister Zhang said as he walked. He was very excited and could even think of them making such powerful guns. After coming out, the Japanese were beaten until they screamed.

In the past, I was suppressed and beaten by the Japanese, but it might not happen in the future.

"So, Lao Zhang, you have to make good use of this machine tool and don't waste it. This is a machine tool made in Germany. Although it is not the most advanced batch, it is definitely much better than what the national army bought." The brigade commander smiled and said that he expected Lao Zhang to be so happy.

Not to mention Lao Zhang, even he and the boss were very happy when they found out. I guess the commander-in-chief was also very happy.

"Don't worry, Brigadier! I will never waste it!" Minister Zhang said seriously. After the machine tool was installed and studied, he would stare at the director of the arsenal. He must make sure that the director takes a good look at the people below and prevents them from being lazy. .

"Yes." The brigade commander nodded. What Lao Zhang said was quite reliable.

"Brigadier, I don't think we need to wait until night for the machine tool. You will take people away later and have someone deliver it to you when you return to the brigade headquarters?! Or I can send someone over to pick up the machine tool." Minister Zhang said , he couldn't wait to see what the machine tool looked like.
