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

After entering the headquarters, Gundam walked into his room.

He quickly squatted down and gently lifted the bed board. The 10 M1 Garand rifles he bought from the system were neatly placed underneath.

He shouted to the outside of the door: "Da Zhuang, come in quickly and help me move the gun!"

When Li Dazhuang heard the call, he almost ran into the room.

He saw Gundam busy taking out the rifles one by one.

"Captain, when did you hide the gun under the bed?" Li Dazhuang asked curiously.

"Why do you care so much? Come and move quickly. We are going to Ping'an Arsenal to find Meng Debiao now."

Seeing this, Li Dazhuang stopped asking questions and took quick action.

He slung the rifle over his shoulder and got his guns ready.

The two quickly packed their equipment and prepared to set off.

Gao Da and Li Da Zhuang rode on horseback to the Ping An Arsenal.

More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the arsenal.

Today, the Ping'an Arsenal has undergone tremendous changes. With the increase in the number of people and the need for production, Meng Debiao led the team to expand and renovate the cave.

The size of the entire arsenal has tripled compared to before, and the number of production workers has increased to more than 1000.

The roar of machines can be heard constantly in the cave, and the workers are busy with production.

Gaoda took Li Dazhuang into the arsenal and saw Meng Debiao at a glance.

Meng Debiao was busy shuttling between workshops.

When Meng Debiao saw Gaoda coming, he immediately came forward and said, "Captain, you are here! Take a look at the arsenal now. Do you think it has become bigger?"

Gaoda looked around and nodded: "Director Meng, it is indeed big, very big. I am deeply pleased that the Arsenal has developed so rapidly under your leadership."

After hearing this, Meng Debiao smiled even more brightly and proudly introduced:

"Captain, the current arsenal's output has achieved a qualitative leap. The 300 technical workers sent by the headquarters are all experienced and skilled workers. Their joining has greatly improved our production efficiency.

Compared to the workers we have trained ourselves, they are more efficient and accurate. As a result, the output of the arsenal has increased by 40% compared to before! "

After hearing this, Gundam's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said with satisfaction: "Great! The increase in the output of the arsenal means that our newly recruited soldiers will no longer worry about weapons and ammunition."

"Not only that, the headquarters also sent us a large amount of raw materials. Now we have sufficient reserves of raw materials. Workers are working overtime every day to ensure that the needs of the soldiers can be met."

"Director Meng, I just want to tell you something. I plan to equip all the members of the Jian Brigade with semi-automatic rifles to improve their combat effectiveness."

As he spoke, Gaoda turned around, took out an M1 Garand rifle from behind Li Dazhuang, and handed it to Meng Debiao.

Meng Debiao took the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle handed to him by Gundam.

"Captain, I know this gun. As the standard weapon of the United States, it is famous far and wide.

But, Captain, although this semi-automatic rifle has great firepower, its bullet consumption is also extremely alarming."

"With the existing production capacity of our Ping'an Arsenal, we are simply unable to meet the troops' demand for large quantities of these semi-automatic rifles. Even if I stop all other production lines and focus on producing bullets, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep up with the troops' consumption rate," Meng Debiao said frankly.

Seeing this, Gaoda smiled slightly. He knew that Meng Debiao's worries were not unreasonable.

But he had already made a plan: "Director Meng, you don't have to worry about the bullet problem. I heard from the grapevine that the Japanese will have a military train departing from Taiyuan in the next few days, loaded with two of the most advanced bullet production lines and a large diesel engine."

After hearing this, Meng Debiao's eyes flashed with surprise: "Captain, are you serious? If we can really get these two bullet production lines, then it will no longer be a problem for everyone in the county brigade to switch to semi-automatic rifles. The arsenal will be able to provide enough bullets continuously."

Gundam nodded and said, "Director Meng, your next task is to do your best to copy the M1 Garand rifle.

Other rifle production lines can be temporarily stopped. We must ensure that county brigades can fully replace semi-automatic weapons in the future."

After hearing this, Meng Debiao said loudly: "Yes, Captain! I will immediately arrange for workers to start production and ensure that the imitation task is completed as soon as possible!"

………………........

Inside the headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

The brigade commander stood in front of the map, carefully deploying the next moves of all troops.

"Chief of Staff, look at the northwest region of Shanxi. The Japanese have started a new round of mopping-up operations. It's really a headache."

The brigade commander pointed to the red mark on the map and said, "Now our jurisdiction is full of Japanese troops. They are like a pack of hungry wolves, searching for us everywhere."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Brigade Commander, these little devils are invading our base more and more frequently.

Ever since their commander, Tada Shun, introduced the so-called "cage policy," a large number of Japanese bunkers and strongholds have sprung up in various places.

Not only that, they also built a large number of roads in various places, trying to use these roads to gradually erode our base areas. "

The brigade commander snorted coldly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "Humph, these little devils are simply dreaming!

Do they think they can destroy our Eighth Route Army with a "cage policy"?

It's wishful thinking! The headquarters will definitely launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese, Chief of Staff, just wait and see!"

The chief of staff sighed and shook his head helplessly: "I hope so. However, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to us.

Many of the newly recruited warriors did not have guns yet and were still using swords and spears. This put us in a very passive position in the battle. "

The brigade commander was silent for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff, we cannot be intimidated by the difficulties in front of us. We must trust the decisions and deployments of the headquarters, and at the same time we must make our own preparations.

I will report our current difficult situation to my superiors and ask them to provide us with the necessary weapons and equipment as soon as possible.

At the same time, we must also strengthen training and improve the combat skills of our soldiers so that they can better deal with the attacks of the Japanese devils."

The chief of staff nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brigade Commander. We will definitely overcome the difficulties and resolutely strike back at the arrogant arrogance of the Japanese devils!"
