Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

It was past five in the morning and dawn had not yet broken.

The people from the Ping'an County Brigade pulled the rails and finally returned to Lijiazhuang.

Along the way, they avoided the main roads and chose the rugged mountain roads, for fear of being discovered by the Japanese artillery towers.

The mountain road was winding and every step was full of hardships. After great efforts, they finally pulled the rails back to Lijiazhuang.

Gundam did not rest. He immediately led everyone to pull the rails to the Ping An Arsenal deep in the mountains.

The arsenal has now been renamed "Peace Arsenal", symbolizing their determination to fight to defend their homeland and pursue peace.

Inside the arsenal, thirty or forty military workers were busy.

When everyone pulled the rails into the cave, Meng Debiao immediately came forward.

His eyes sparkled with excitement. He rushed forward and said excitedly, "Captain, where did you get such high-quality rails?"

Gundam patted the rails beside him and said proudly:

"Director Meng, I led the soldiers of the county brigade to travel hundreds of miles last night, risking our lives to tear up a railway track of the Japanese. Only then did we get these rails.

Now that the rails are here, it's up to you to get started. I'm waiting for your cannon!"

After listening to Gaoda's words, Meng Debiao said, "Captain, since you have brought back such high-quality steel, I promise that the arsenal will go all out and start production as soon as possible."

Gundam was delighted as he watched the busy soldiers and machinery running in an orderly manner in the arsenal.

At this moment, Meng Debiao excitedly took out a drawing, with a proud smile on his face.

He said to Gundam: "Captain, after working day and night for the past few days, I have adjusted and optimized the parameters of the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun and successfully developed a new domestic infantry gun."

When Gundam heard the news, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.

He quickly asked, "Director Meng, how is the performance of this newly improved domestic infantry gun?"

Meng Debiao began to explain in detail: "Captain, this new infantry gun has undergone many improvements based on the original Type 92 infantry gun of the Japanese.

First, the caliber was increased from the original 70 mm to 75 mm, which significantly improved the power and range of the artillery shells.

Secondly, the length of the gun barrel reaches 2.9 meters and the weight is controlled at around 0.25 tons, which not only ensures strong firepower but also makes it easy to carry and deploy.

The maximum range is an astonishing 3600 meters, much farther than the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun.

He continued: “This new infantry gun not only has a long range and great power, but also has a variety of functions.

It can fire a variety of shells such as high-explosive bombs, smoke bombs and grenades to meet different combat needs.

In addition, we have increased the adjustment range of the shooting angle, making this infantry gun more flexible and versatile on the battlefield.

Most notably, it can be deployed very quickly and can be easily towed by just a few men and a horse, making it ideal for rapid maneuvers and fire support.

After listening to Meng Debiao's detailed explanation of the new cannon, Gundam's eyes flashed with a burning light.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and a strong desire surged in his heart.

Gundam's heart was shouting loudly: "Tannd, this is exactly my dream love gun, so awesome! Meng Debiao is worthy of being Meng Debiao, as expected, everything has to be done by professionals!"

“This is called professionalism!”

After Meng Debiao finished speaking, he noticed that Gaoda was in a daze with saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Gundam's eyes, and asked with concern:

"Captain, what's wrong with you? What are the parameters of this new domestic infantry gun? Is it to your liking?"

Gundam came back to his senses, quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

He held Meng Debiao's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Satisfied, satisfied, I am very satisfied! Director Meng, our infantry artillery will be produced according to this standard!"

"I believe that the domestic infantry artillery produced by our Ping An Arsenal will be able to shine on the battlefield, defeat those little devils and make great contributions to our anti-Japanese cause!"

Meng Debiao said: "Captain, how should we name this newly designed domestic infantry gun?"

"Director Meng, this year is 1939. I think this domestically produced infantry gun is called the Type 39 75mm infantry gun. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Meng Debiao nodded in agreement: "Captain, this is a good name. It not only reflects the year, but also highlights the specifications of the gun. The new domestically produced infantry gun is called the Type 39 Infantry Gun."

At this moment, Gundam's mind began to emerge with the magnificent scene of the county brigade artillery company equipped with Type 39 infantry guns.

He seemed to see that on the battlefield of the future, the soldiers of the artillery company would operate these cannons, firing hundreds of cannons at the same time, the artillery fire was like dragons, and the Japanese soldiers would be blown to pieces crying for their parents and fleeing frantically.

When Gundam thought of this scene, his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

He turned to Meng Debiao impatiently and said, "Director Meng, how long does it take for our arsenal to manufacture a Type 39 infantry gun?"

After a moment's thought, Meng Debiao replied:

"Captain, based on our arsenal's current production capacity and resource allocation, we will need about a week to produce a Type 39 infantry gun and ten matching shells without delaying bullet production."

After hearing Meng Debiao's answer, Gaoda frowned and looked quite anxious.

“Director Meng, I understand the current difficulties, but the production speed of this shell is indeed too slow.

I can still accept the production cycle of cannons, but only ten shells a week, such a speed is simply a drop in the bucket on the battlefield.

Only forty rounds in a month, not enough to support a decent counterattack. "

Meng Debiao also looked embarrassed and explained: "Captain, this is the current limit of the arsenal.

If we want to increase production, we must add more manpower, but at the same time, our machinery and equipment are seriously insufficient.

Even if we add more manpower, the maximum we can increase the output to is only 20 rounds per week."

"Director Meng, I understand. Then we will follow your suggestion and increase our manpower first. At the same time, I will find a way to get a few more sets of machine tools as soon as possible. In this way, the production capacity of our arsenal can be improved."

When Meng Debiao heard what Gaoda said, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said:

"Captain, if you can get some machine tools, our production capacity will be greatly improved."

Gaoda nodded and said, "Director Meng, don't worry, I will do my best. Now, the primary task of your arsenal is to produce a Type 39 infantry gun as soon as possible. This is of vital importance to our county brigade."

Meng Debiao answered loudly: "Yes, Captain! I guarantee that the mission will be completed!"

Afterwards, Gaoda conducted some inspection in the arsenal before leaving Ping'an Arsenal and returning to Lijiazhuang.
