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

Gundam was also shocked when he saw the power of the mortar.

He also didn't expect that the 120mm mortar in front of him was so powerful.

This is much more powerful than the Type 39 infantry gun in his hand. In an instant, he felt that the Type infantry gun in his artillery company was no longer effective.

Meng Debiao stood aside and looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd with pride. He knew very well the value of this cannon.

“Commendations, for this 120mm mortar in front of you, I have deliberately increased the weight of the shells in order to increase the explosive damage.

Although this sacrifices some range, if a lighter shell is used, its range will easily exceed 5000 meters."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.

They could hardly imagine that a mortar could have a range of this magnitude.

You know, even the Japanese mountain artillery has a range just like this.

Now, the mortar in front of them can actually be compared with the Japanese mountain artillery.

If the Eighth Route Army could be equipped with a large number of such mortars, then on the battlefield their artillery force would be able to completely crush the artillery force of the Japanese.

You know, in the Japanese camp, mountain artillery is a heavy firepower equipment that is only equipped at the brigade and division levels.

The Eighth Route Army's possession of such a powerful mortar will greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.

On the battlefield, the strength of artillery can often determine the outcome of a war.

The brigade commander looked at the 120mm mortar in front of him and was very satisfied.

This cannon is absolutely perfect for the Eighth Route Army as it is lightweight and can be moved quickly.

"Director Meng, this cannon is simply amazing, and our Eighth Route Army needs it very much.

Director Meng, how is the output of your arsenal? Can you increase the production of 120mm mortars? "

"Reporting to the brigade commander, with the current output of our Ping An Arsenal, we can produce three 120mm mortars and 30 rounds of ammunition every week."

The brigade commander was a little dissatisfied after hearing what Meng Debiao said. In his opinion, the output was too small.

He turned his head to look at the Gundam on the side.

"Gundam, I think the current output of the arsenal is still too limited. The 120mm mortar produced by the Ping An Arsenal is vital to our troops. The soldiers are in urgent need of such weapons. Do you have any way to increase production?"

"Commander, the current production capacity of the arsenal has indeed reached its limit. We are facing the dilemma of insufficient qualified workers, which is the main reason for the low production. We are actively recruiting and training new workers, hoping to increase production as soon as possible."

After listening to Gaoda's explanation, the brigade commander turned his gaze to Meng Debiao and said, "Director Meng, if I provide you with sufficient raw materials and deploy enough skilled workers, can you guarantee that the output of the arsenal will be significantly increased?"

When Meng Debiao heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He knew that this was a rare opportunity for the arsenal.

"That's absolutely no problem, Brigade Commander! As long as we have sufficient raw materials and qualified skilled workers, the output of our arsenal will surely increase significantly."

Gundam, who was standing by, was also delighted when he heard the brigade commander's words.

He didn't expect that the brigade commander attached so much importance to the arsenal's production capacity and was willing to personally step forward to solve the problem of shortage of skilled workers.

This will undoubtedly be a huge help to him and will greatly alleviate the pressure faced by the arsenal in expanding production.

The current arsenal's output has reached its limit. If we want to continue to expand the scale of production, we must have enough qualified technical workers.

However, training qualified technical workers is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires investment of time and energy.

But now with the support of the brigade commander, this problem seems to have been effectively solved.

Gaoda was excited when he knew that the Eighth Route Army Arsenal was full of talented people.

He thought to himself that if the brigade commander could mobilize a large number of skilled workers to the Ping'an County Arsenal, their production would surely usher in a qualitative leap.

By then, he would not only be able to recruit soldiers on a large scale and expand the size of the county brigade, but also provide the Eighth Route Army with a steady stream of firepower support.

"Director Meng, I promise you that I will immediately apply to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to have the headquarters arsenal send 300 highly skilled and experienced workers to your Ping'an Arsenal. When the time comes, you must go all out and increase the production of cannons and shells."

After hearing this, Meng Debiao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he answered confidently:

"No problem, Brigadier General! I promise to complete the mission and live up to your expectations."

After listening to Meng Debiao's answer, the brigade commander nodded with satisfaction and then turned to look at Gundam next to him.

"Gundam, did you hear me? This time I will personally apply to the headquarters to transfer a large number of skilled workers to your arsenal.

Are you satisfied now? Your county brigade didn't suffer any loss, did it? I asked you for a lot of weapons and equipment before."

When Gundam heard what the brigade commander said, a bright smile spread across his face.

"Commander, I am very satisfied, very satisfied! Thank you for your strong support to the county brigade.

With the addition of these skilled workers, we will be able to produce more cannons and shells, providing the Eighth Route Army with more powerful firepower support."

"Okay, Gundam, it's getting late. I'm going to take the team back now. You must remember to send all these equipment to the brigade headquarters early tomorrow morning. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Commander! Don't worry, I will personally supervise and deliver all these things to the brigade headquarters tomorrow morning."

The brigade commander nodded with satisfaction, and then, accompanied by Gaoda, left the arsenal and returned to Lijiazhuang.

Amid the farewell of the crowd, the brigade commander led his guards back to the 386th Brigade’s base.

The brigade commander was in a particularly good mood today. He did not expect that he could "harvest" so many valuable equipment here in Ping'an County Brigade.

Now, his 386th Brigade will become stronger.

Especially the arsenal in Ping'an County made him even more excited.

He wanted to immediately send technical workers to the Ping'an Arsenal to produce cannons for him.

The power of the 120mm mortar made him very envious.

The brigade commander's blood was boiling as he imagined that the 386th Brigade could have dozens or even hundreds of such cannons.

Then he dared to lead his 386th Brigade to compete with the Japanese th Brigade.
