Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

The same thing happened the next day, except that this time the equipment was the Mauser pistol production line, and the team was led by Zhang Dabiao's first battalion.

In this way, time passed slowly and the hydropower station was successfully powered up, although the process was a bit tortuous and various problems arose.

Fortunately, everyone worked together and finally completed the power-on of all the standing equipment without any danger.

Now that there is enough electricity, the development of the arsenal has entered the fast lane and the construction speed will become faster and faster.

For example, major factories and construction sites used to light a large number of oil lamps and braziers at night. To be honest, the effect was very unsatisfactory.

Many soldiers in the army are basically leveling the land in the dark, and various accidents occur every day, but there is no other way because time waits for no one.

For example, the 7.92mm bullet production line can produce 50 rounds a month, which is equivalent to one round a day. This is enough for a main force regiment to fight a large-scale battle.

Although the Eighth Route Army has seized a large number of bullets at the train station, it only adds up to thirty bullets for each soldier.

The earlier the bullet production line starts mass production one day, the more urgently needed ammunition can be produced for the troops.

For example, the Ma Sihuan rifle production line could produce one hundred rifles a day, and the Eighth Route Army could use it to form a new infantry company, which means thirty rifles a day.

If our troops want to seize 3,000 intact rifles and 500,000 rounds of ammunition from the enemy, we will have to suffer at least tens of thousands of casualties.

This is the benefit of owning your own arsenal, and it is also the significance of the headquarters leaders working hard to develop military-industrial enterprises.

Since electricity has been available, simply pulling a few wires and installing electric lights on the construction site can illuminate the entire site, which can greatly increase the speed of construction.

The same thing happened on the fourth day. Kong Hao was either at the construction site or on the way to the construction site.

After a busy week, all the equipment obtained some time ago has been delivered, the bullet production line, rifle and Mauser pistol production equipment have been debugged, and we are just waiting for the production samples to be tested.

The 386th Brigade is currently conducting large-scale military training to prepare for future major wars.

The harvest at the train station was huge, and the Taiyue Military Region also received 200,000 rounds of ammunition. Brigade Commander Chen decided to take out 100,000 rounds of ammunition to use for live-fire training for new recruits.

It's pitiful to say that many new recruits of the Eighth Route Army only had the opportunity to fire live ammunition on the battlefield. They usually practiced shooting movements and simulated changing bullets.

No matter how well you train these movements, they are useless if you don't shoot directly.

After the bullet is fired, the feeling of the rifle recoil hitting the shoulder, the sound of the bullet being fired, and the real touch of the finger pulling the trigger are things that cannot be experienced no matter how many simulated shootings you do.

It's better now. In the past, new recruits had fewer opportunities to experience shooting. After all, even in the main force, each soldier only had three bullets on average. The emphasis was on killing one enemy with one bullet, and there were simply no extra bullets for the new recruits to consume.

Although the leaders all knew that the new recruits who had not experienced live-fire shooting would suffer heavy casualties once they went to the battlefield, the troops were extremely short of ammunition and there was nothing they could do about it.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army currently has two bullet production lines. If they are run at full capacity, they can produce about 900,000 bullets a month.

The leaders of the headquarters were also courageous. They directly took out 500,000 rounds of stockpile bullets and handed them over to various bases for live-fire shooting training.

As for the Taiyue Military Region, since it had the closest relationship with Kong Hao and gained the most, it directly took out 100,000 rounds of bullets for training.

If you are a new recruit, you must use up at least five bullets before you can go to the battlefield. If you are a veteran, you must use up three bullets according to the standard.

After all, the battlefield is too dangerous, and many times there is no time to experience the feeling of shooting. You can only carefully summarize the shooting skills after the battle, and then conduct summary and testing through live-fire shooting.

Three bullets can be divided into three training sessions, which means there are three opportunities to experience shooting calmly in a safe environment, which is of great help to improve the veterans' marksmanship.

However, Brigade Commander Chen seemed a little depressed today, mainly because of a telegram sent by Kong Hao.

"Political Commissar, what do you think Xiaolong Kong meant by sending this telegram?"

"Let us find two Cavalry quad rifles and three Spanish side-loading Mausers, preferably new and unfired."

"This really stumps me. When will our Eighth Route Army be rich enough to have new guns in stock, especially such unconventional weapons?"

"This kind of Ma Sihuan rifle is a rare and good gun. We captured some of them when we fought against the Central Army, but that was a few years ago."

"The corresponding bullets have long been used up, and the rifling of many rifles has worn out and is completely unusable."

"The only new guns our troops have now are the Type 38 rifles seized from the Japanese at the train station."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Wang smiled and said:

"Old Chen, this is great news. The transportation of materials at the railway station is really an eye-opener for me."

"This Kong Hao is really a talent. From personnel allocation to material mobilization, every aspect has been arranged very reasonably, and the result is almost the same as the plan made in advance."

"In recent days, I have been writing a summary and analysis report on this case. Every step was executed very brilliantly. We were able to complete such a large operation right under the enemy's nose."

"I guess that old man Shinozuka Yoshio has come to his senses now and is cursing at his headquarters, but it's too late."

"This is a great victory that can be recorded in textbooks. It not only solved a lot of difficulties for our Eighth Route Army, but also there are many details worth thinking about. We should incorporate these valuable experiences into our future work."

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen nodded, but he still frowned and said:

"Your ideas are very good and worth learning from, but they have nothing to do with my question just now."

"Old Chen, don't be impatient, just listen to me."

"We have obtained two sets of weapons production equipment at the train station. One set is made in the Czech Republic and is used to produce rifles, and the other set is made in Spain and is used to produce Mauser pistols. What do you think of it?"

Brigade Commander Chen thought about it for a moment, and combined it with Kong Hao's information, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old buddy, do you mean that our Eighth Route Army will soon have a rifle production line and a Mauser pistol production line?"

Political Commissar Wang nodded and emphasized:

"According to the time calculation, these two production lines should have been debugged and are ready to start mass production."

"I also heard from Xiao Kong that the output of these two production lines is quite high. In addition, there is also a 7.92mm bullet production line that produces rounds of bullets per year. Now I am a little suspicious that this is God's blessing on our Eighth Route Army. Whatever we want will come true."

"Political Commissar, if that's the case, then I'll go to the arsenal and get some weapons and equipment."

"I never thought that we would obtain a production line for Mazda3 rifles. Doesn't this mean that our troops can continuously obtain Mazda3 rifles, which are top-notch in the world."
