Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 424 Good News (Second Update!)

In any case, the Eighth Route Army is their real opponent.

After hearing the answer from the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Lao Jiang's gloomy face suddenly became much better.

He frowned and ordered: "Just do what you want. Tomorrow morning, I will see news about the Eighth Route Army's unfavorable news appearing in the newspaper. We must convince the people that the Nationalist government can defeat the Japanese. They are unreliable!"

"Yes, Chairman!" What Lao Jiang didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army headquarters would send out a clear telegram as soon as the unfavorable news about the Eighth Route Army was reported.

"After a bloody battle, the Eighth Route Army destroyed the Japanese army's Taiyuan arsenal at a heavy cost of more than 4 casualties, and cut off the way for the Japanese North China Front Army to be self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition, which greatly relieved the pressure on the entire North China Anti-Japanese Army. There were nearly 2 puppet troops, including six Japanese officers above the rank of major commander, and eight officers above the Imperial Association Army Corps, achieving unprecedented victories."

Lao Jiang, who had just been in a good mood for a few hours, was irritated again.

Ordinary people don't know how important the Taiyuan Arsenal is to the Japanese Army's North China Front Army, Lao Jiang knows it very well.

Losing the Taiyuan Arsenal, the Japanese North China Front Army would lose at least [-]% of its equipment and ammunition supplies. This would definitely have a great impact on the Japanese Army's combat effectiveness, and even affect the Japanese North China Front Army's fighting spirit and goals.

Of course, some people may say that no weapons and ammunition can be transferred from the northeast.

However, if you want to deliver weapons and ammunition from the northeast to the Japanese army in North China, you have to pass through the Eighth Route Army-controlled area, whether you take the road or the railway.

The Eighth Route Army, which is good at guerrilla warfare, will certainly not watch the Japanese transport equipment and ammunition from under their noses.

In this way, in a short period of time, the Japanese army in North China will fall into a dangerous situation of shortage of equipment and ammunition. In a short period of time, it is impossible to actively attack the Eighth Route Army, and they can only be passively beaten!This is indeed of great benefit to the anti-Japanese situation in North China!

"Mother Xipi, why didn't the Eighth Route Army report to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs last night for such a big victory. Now it is sent directly in a clear telegram, obviously embarrassing the government! The Eighth Route Army is too cunning!" Lao Jiang cursed out of anger. , not at all scruples about his status as chairman of the committee.

Perhaps to vent his anger, Lao Jiang ordered on the spot: "The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs temporarily withholds the military expenditures given to them! Yunong, immediately find evidence that the Eighth Route Army has expanded the army without permission. I will detain the Eighth Route Army for the reason of privately expanding the army." Military expenses. Without military expenses, I see how they can support the troops and continue to expand the troops!"

In the next few days, the Japanese North China Front Army seemed to be crazy. Reconnaissance troops, aircraft, secret agents, and intelligence personnel were all looking for the equipment lost by the Taiyuan Arsenal.

However, the devils obviously underestimated the ability of the Eighth Route Army ants to move.

Except for important equipment that cannot be disassembled, all other equipment is disassembled into the most primitive parts, and then compiled into numbers, carried by people on their shoulders, transported by mules and horses, and walked on mountain roads.

During this period, the devils also dispatched several bomber fleets to bomb suspicious targets they found and also bombed a lot of equipment.

However, after nearly ten days of day-and-night transportation, most of the equipment was intact.

"Director, a rifle production line has been established. Because we brought back a lot of raw materials from the Taiyuan Arsenal, including steel for barrels. As long as you agree with the factory manager, we can make guns now!" Political Commissar Zhou of the Arsenal Yong rushed to Wang Ping's room with an excited face and reported.

"So fast!" Wang Ping asked in shock.

You know, the equipment and the technicians from the Taiyuan Arsenal only arrived at the Arsenal three days ago.

More importantly, the returned equipment is a pile of parts, which need to be assembled into equipment bit by bit before being assembled into a production line.

In Wang Ping's opinion, without ten days and half a month, it is certainly impossible to produce results.

"It's all thanks to those technicians!" Political Commissar Zhou Yong replied excitedly.

"Factory manager, you don't know that the technicians we brought back from the arsenal are all talents. According to our current technician rating standards, at least 200 people can get the company-level treatment, and the lowest level is the fourth-level technician, who can enjoy To the political treatment of the squad leader in the army!"

"With them joining, all the equipment for a rifle production line was assembled in less than two days."

"I conducted a one-day test run yesterday, and the effect is good. As long as you give an order from the factory manager, we will be able to manufacture the first rifle in the arsenal immediately!"

"Where are the raw materials? Are there enough raw materials for making guns?" Wang Ping asked immediately with a flash of surprise on his face.

Zhou Yong immediately replied: "I asked a senior technician who made guns in the Taiyuan Arsenal. The raw materials we brought back from the Taiyuan Arsenal can make at least a thousand guns. Also, I asked specifically, we picked them up from the railway. Although the performance of the rails is not as good as that of the special steel used to make guns, it is not much worse. The life of a rifle made of rails is shorter than that of the special steel, but it does not affect its use.”

"My idea is to use the raw materials brought back from the Taiyuan Arsenal to make guns, and at the same time ask the Arsenal to make rails for us, and prepare to use the rails to make guns!"

"I asked the mechanic to calculate it, because a lot of materials are wasted when making guns, especially when making gun barrels. It takes about 25 to [-] catties of steel for rails to make a gun. I plan to ask the entire Eighth Route Army to give it to us through the logistics department of the military region. Find the rails, send a hundred catties of rails, and we'll give you a gun!"

After thinking about it, Wang Ping replied: "Yes, in this way, each gun can bring us three guns in profit. At that time, we can discuss with the headquarters, and two of the guns will be handed over to the headquarters for themselves, leaving one gun Selling it to the headquarters can bring income to the arsenal and feed more and more workers in the arsenal. If the income is more, it can also earn some military expenses for the headquarters!"

"In this way, I will report this matter to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to decide. However, the first rifle produced by the arsenal, although it is a copy of the little devil's [-] cover, is also a historical moment for us, and we must ask the superiors Come and witness!"

"I will immediately report to the headquarters and invite the chief to come and witness. You must hurry up and try to use the time when the chief is not here, and then build the production line of submachine guns and machine guns, and then give the chief a few more surprises!"

"Yes, factory manager!" Zhou Yong answered confidently.

With people in hand, equipment, and materials, for Zhou Yong, he has a lot of confidence in doing anything.

As long as he has time, Zhou Yong is confident that he can create any tone!
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy chief of staff had just finished reading a telegram from the Jinchaji Military Region, when he was overwhelmed with excitement, and then rushed into the war room with all his subordinates staring at him in amazement.

"Boss, good news, Lao Nie just sent it!"

The deputy commander-in-chief took over the telegram and began to browse. Soon, the deputy commander-in-chief also showed an unprecedented smile on his face, and shouted very happily.

"Okay, okay! It seems that Wang Ping was right to stay in Jinchaji as the director of the arsenal factory!"
