Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 970 Buying and selling heavy artillery? (First update!)

Commander Chen replied with a wry smile: "If he really planned to keep these heavy weapons for himself, I wouldn't call you into the meeting room to discuss this matter in secret!"

"Wang Ping, what is he planning to do!" The political commissar frowned all of a sudden.

For Wang Ping, he hated and loved at the same time...

Love because he is too capable, not only has a vicious vision, but also is good at fighting.How long did it take to force a remnant regiment to become the most powerful in the military region... no, the main regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire Eighth Route Army.

Not only that, but in such a short period of time, he has built a huge base covering nine counties from scratch.

As for the hatred, it is because Wang Ping is too good at causing trouble.

Every time you make a great achievement, something will definitely happen, or something will happen!

Commander Chen hesitated for a moment and replied: "He intends to take out twelve heavy artillery pieces and ten tanks for the World War II zone, that is, the Jinsui Army!"

"No~ absolutely not~" the political commissar refused after thinking about it!

"The relationship between us and the World War II zone has become more and more delicate. If a conflict breaks out in the future, it is possible to become an opponent~Give them heavy artillery and tanks, wouldn't that increase the strength of our opponent?"

"Commander, I firmly oppose... I would rather blow up those heavy artillery and tanks than give them to the World War II zone, to the Jinsui Army!"

"I don't agree either!" the chief of staff added shortly thereafter.

Commander Chen shook his head and replied, "Don't rush to object, just listen to me!"

"Wang Ping, you don't know, is he the kind of person who suffers?"

"Twelve heavy artillery pieces and ten tanks can form a heavy artillery regiment and a tank battalion in the hands of the Jinsui Army. Wang Ping does not intend to give them for nothing, but to exchange something from them!"

"I still don't agree...heavy artillery and tanks can't be bought with money now, and I really can't think of anything that can stand up to those heavy artillery and tanks..." The chief of staff has long been envious of those heavy artillery, without hesitation Refuse!
"Two bullet production lines, one production line for mortar shells, one production line for grenades, and one thousand submachine guns..." Commander Chen suppressed his inner excitement as much as possible, and replied with his calm weapon.

The political commissar and chief of staff who were still opposed just now fell silent.

If it was a weapon, even if Wang Ping could exchange it for a brigade's equipment, the two of them would refuse without hesitation.

However, this is not a weapon, it is a device for producing weapons.

Commander Chen continued: "Wang Ping said at [-]:[-] that as our strength grows stronger, the devils also understand us more and more. Now that we are fighting the Japanese army, although we can still capture many weapons that the Japanese army has no time to destroy. But However, the seizure of ammunition is very small, and sometimes even the consumption on the battlefield cannot be made up."

"It can be seen that the Japanese have begun to guard against us now, knowing that we are using the discovery mode of war to support war, and intend to control our development from the aspect of weapons and ammunition!"

The chief of staff suddenly interrupted, his tone very serious!
"Wang Ping's vision is very vicious, that's right!"

"Last time, the brigade directly under the brigade cooperated with two military sub-divisions to fight two Japanese annihilation battles. Over 3000 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. The various weapons and equipment captured were enough for us to form a reinforced regiment of 2000 people. But the ammunition was a little short! "

"The ammunition carried by the Japanese army's supply troops was blown up before they died. The ammunition seized from the devil's combat troops, after replenishing the troops' combat trenches, there is basically nothing left!"

"Without ammunition, although those two thousand weapons have been equipped with troops, they are almost indistinguishable from firesticks!"

"If Wang Ping can really get these production lines back from World War II, he doesn't need these heavy artillery and tanks!"

"However, it is impossible for the World War II zone not to know the importance of the production line. They are becoming more and more defensive against us now. Giving us the production line is to increase our strength in disguise. Will they agree?"

"Also... As far as I know, when Taiyuan fell, the Jinsui Army did not remove too many equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, and most of the equipment was seized by the little devils. Those production lines are also treasures in the eyes of the Jinsui Army. Will they agree to an exchange?"

"Very likely~" On this point, the political commissar in charge of intelligence has the most say.

After thinking for a while, I answered: "Before the fall of Taiyuan, the Jinsui Army removed more than a thousand pieces of various equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, basically producing small equipment such as ammunition, rifles, submachine guns, mortars and light and heavy machine guns... "

"According to the information we sent from the inside of the World War II zone: Yan Xishan reorganized the Northwest Armory for these devices. There are ten light bullet production lines, three grenade production lines, four shell production lines, three rifle production lines, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, One mortar production line!"

"In the beginning, the arsenal was able to operate at full capacity because the Jinsui army transported a large amount of raw materials and semi-finished products from Taiyuan. However, as the raw materials were exhausted, the replenishment could no longer be opened. Now half of the equipment in the entire arsenal has stopped production!"

"Rather than sitting idle and rusting, these equipment might as well be given to the Eighth Route Army."

Commander Chen affirmed: "The political commissar is right. Wang Ping didn't know where he learned about this, and then he had the confidence to ask us for guns and change the production line from the World War II zone!"

"He also said in the telegram that a bullet production line in the Taiyuan Arsenal can produce 5 rounds of bullets per day if the raw materials are sufficient. It can produce [-] to [-] rounds of bullets, and the total number of troops in our entire military region is less than [-], which is equivalent to one bullet per person per day..."

The Chief of Staff's eyes shot out twice, staring at Commander Chen and said, "One bullet per day per person, that's more than 30 rounds in a month. And within a month, it's impossible for every soldier in the military region to have a combat mission..."

"Even if half of the troops have combat missions, and the bullets are averaged, the bullets in the hands of our participating troops can reach [-] rounds per capita. This is not counting the stocks and combat seizures of various military divisions. Although there are not many, there must be. It’s not too much to add it all up, there must be a hundred bullets per capita!”

"Commander, we must support Wang Ping in changing the bullet production line. If twelve heavy artillery pieces are not enough, even two more will do!"

The political commissar then supported: "Commander, I also agree to change~ But this matter must be reported to the headquarters, and I believe the head of the headquarters will definitely agree!"

"Agreed for sure... Our Eighth Route Army is not even equipped with mountain artillery. It is unrealistic to create two heavy artillery regiments at once!"

"Besides, the heavy artillery is too heavy, and it must be dragged by a car. There is no way it is not suitable for our Eighth Route Army to fight mountain warfare, guerrilla warfare, and mobile warfare. If this is the case, why not replace it with the bullets we need most!"

"As for how to change it, let Wang Ping do it. He has experience, so he will definitely not suffer."

"To tell you the truth, two production lines for bullets and one production line for mortar shells are only what Wang Ping promises to get. His original idea was three production lines for bullets, one production line for grenades, one production line for mortar shells, and one for gunpowder. Equipment, plus a set of all equipment for repairing weapons!"

"First the lion speaks loudly, then bargain!"
