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

When everyone heard that it was produced by their own arsenal, they were immediately overjoyed.

Being able to produce their own weapons, no matter how much, means that their troops have a steady supply of weapons and ammunition.

And judging from the instructor's tone today, our arsenal can also produce its own bullets, which is simply a double blessing.

There are five hundred of them. If each of them uses ten rounds, then five thousand rounds will be fired today, which is not a small number.

If they were placed in their previous troops, they would probably be able to fight a small-scale battle.

Liu Jinbao also stood up and said, "Good sharpshooters are all fed with bullets, except for those rare geniuses."

"Our training plan is to conduct rifle shooting and Mauser pistol training every two days. If you are a machine gunner, you will also conduct shooting training with the Czech light machine gun and the Type 99 light machine gun."

"In theory, a qualified special forces soldier needs to be proficient in operating all light and heavy weapons, including rifles, pistols, light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and even grenade launchers, mortars and Type 92 infantry guns."

"However, because this consumes too much energy, our Eighth Route Army cannot afford it for the time being. We can only choose to let everyone become proficient in the use of light weapons."

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. First team, prepare to shoot."

Then everyone took turns to conduct live-fire shooting. By the time they finished the training, it was basically noon.

Lunch is also quite rich, with cabbage with oil residue and rice to eat as much as you want.

The afternoon training consisted of back and forth running, frog jumps, push-ups and sit-ups. It took another half day, and then at dinner time we were served delicious food and drinks.

After dinner, all the special training team members were so tired that they didn’t want to move. They took a shower and fell into a deep sleep.

So for the next period of time, everyone was in pain and happy. Although the process was difficult, their strength improved very quickly.

A few days later, at the 385th Brigade headquarters, Brigade Commander Wang and Political Commissar Su were sitting together handling various matters.

"Political Commissar, I heard recently that the headquarters arsenal has launched a rifle production line, and it is the famous Ma Sihuan rifle. Did you get any news when you went to the division headquarters for a meeting last time? When will this good stuff be distributed to our brigade?"

"We have seized some Ma Sihuan rifles, but they are all old guns that have been used for more than ten years. The rifling is very worn out, and many of them are no longer accurate."

"If it's a brand new rifle that hasn't been fired yet, it's incredible. It can completely beat the Japanese Type 38 rifle."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Su raised his head from the pile of documents and explained in a low voice:

"Our 385th Brigade is too far from the Arsenal. It will probably take some time for the Logistics Department to get our turn."

"Unlike the 386th Brigade, which is right next to the arsenal. When anything good is produced there, they will be the first to be thought of."

Facing the jealous political commissar, Brigade Commander Wang also chuckled.

"Old buddy, there's nothing we can do about it. It's like the one who is close to the water gets the moon first."

"Besides, the only organized special operations team of our Eighth Route Army belongs to the 386th Brigade. Most importantly, Kong Hao, the chief consultant of the arsenal, is Lao Chen's favorite general. It is reasonable for him to take advantage of it in advance."

"Our brigade is relatively better off, but the troops of the other two divisions will probably have to wait a while to get new equipment."

"It's incredible that our arsenal suddenly has two gun production lines and two bullet production lines. Our troops are now living a good life waiting for weapons and ammunition to be delivered by their superiors."

Political Commissar Su also nodded in agreement and said excitedly:

"In the past, we had to snatch all our weapons and ammunition from the Japanese. We were very cautious in making any combat plan, fearing that unforeseen events would cause us to lose money and that the ammunition we fired would not be as much as what we captured."

"How many of our Eighth Route Army's main forces with great military achievements had to take a long rest after fighting a brutal positional battle with the Japanese, consuming a large amount of ammunition and excellent veterans."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Take our brigade, Crazy Wang's regiment, for example. Last time, they were ordered to stop a battalion of Japanese invaders. Although they completed the mission brilliantly, they also suffered heavy casualties and can only rest and recuperate in a short period of time."

"In that battle, Crazy Wang fired 20,000 rounds of ammunition and used up 50 mortar shells. He's such a loser."

"Fortunately, the logistics department has distributed 6.5 rounds of mm bullets to our brigade in succession during this period, which will enable our troops to have the ability to continue fighting."

"By the way, Lao Wang, what do you think is the production capacity of our arsenal's production line?"

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Wang immediately shook his head and said helplessly:

"This should be top secret. Neither you nor I have the necessary rank to know it. Apart from the lucky guy Lao Chen, at least the division commanders can know about it."

"Since we are not allowed to know, we won't try to find out. We can just do our own job well."

"Besides, judging from the amount of ammunition that has been distributed to our brigade, the production volume is bound to be considerable."

"Oh, right, our brigade has recently collected iron ore, various wires cut from the Japanese, and various materials that the arsenal urgently needs. These are all the items specifically requested by the arsenal. We must send someone to deliver them to the logistics department as soon as possible."

"As long as the arsenal is developed, it will be able to provide us with a steady supply of large quantities of weapons and ammunition, which is the most critical for our troops."

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and the guard pushed the door open and walked in.

"Commander, Political Commissar, the logistics department has sent us supplies. There are dozens of horse-drawn carriages, all of which are fully loaded."

Upon hearing the news, Brigade Commander Wang and the Political Commissar's eyes suddenly lit up. What they had thought was coming true.

A transport convoy from the Logistics Department has arrived. This is great news. We must go and take a look.

When the two arrived, they found that the person leading the team this time was a section chief from the logistics department.

"Xiao Sun, you are the one who led the team again this time. You have worked hard. Tell us how many good things you brought to our 385th Brigade this time?"

"Two commanders, on the orders of Minister Sun, we are to carry out routine material replenishment for the 385th Brigade."

"The supplies we brought back this time mainly include 300 Mauser rifles, 50 Spanish side-opening Mauser pistols, 3 Mauser pistol bullets, 6.5 8mm bullets, and 7.92 5mm bullets."

Hearing about these weapons and ammunition, Brigade Commander Wang couldn't help but admire:

"It's good that our own arsenal can mass-produce weapons. We have obtained 16 rounds of ammunition at once, which is enough to fight several large battles."

"If we add the captured ammunition, we can fight more battles."

Section Chief Sun continued to talk to the list: "This time we also brought in 10 tons of cement, sets of equipment for making seven-man grenade carriers, and enough explosives to make grenades."

"Oh, and there are 200 kettles."
