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

After saying that, he walked over and grabbed the backpack on the ground, wanting to see how heavy it was, because the special forces team not only ran five kilometers, but also carried all the weapons and equipment, which was even more amazing.

But maybe he overestimated himself, or maybe the bag was really heavy, he couldn't lift it up at once, and then, in order to save face, he gathered all his strength and put the backpack on his back.

This force bent his waist and he staggered every two steps. Kong Hao quickly took the backpack. It would be troublesome if someone sprained his waist at this time.

After taking off the backpack, the third battalion commander took a few deep breaths and asked with lingering fear:

"Captain Kong, why is your bag so heavy? I wasn't mentally prepared before I carried it, and I almost made a big fool of myself."

"Captain Zhao, our action team's backpacks are all specially made, with dozens of kilograms of supplies inside. Most people are not used to carrying them at first, so it's normal to feel a little tired."

"By the way, we eat different things, so you don't have to prepare meals for us."

It was not until this time that the third battalion commander understood the special nature of the special forces. They were not only ruthless to the enemy, but also to themselves. Only in this way could they easily defeat the Japanese.

At this time at the Jianghuai Military Region Headquarters, the commander-in-chief was talking with Commander Liu of the First Military Sub-district, mainly about the latest requirements issued by superiors.

"Old Liu, you have also read the document from our superiors, which asked us to develop various industries in the base to enhance our strength. Your division is the strongest in our military region, so let's start with you."

"Within three months, you must build a few decent factories. They don't need to be as large as the military repair shop, but they should at least look a bit industrialized. You can't fool your superiors with something like a soy sauce factory."

The commander-in-chief said this mainly because the Jianghuai Military Region had promoted it once before at the request of its superiors, but the effect was very poor, except for the fact that they gathered the strength of the entire military region and opened a small arsenal.

In fact, it cannot be called an arsenal. At most, it is a repair shop with only about a hundred people. At most, it can only produce some swords, bayonets, and grenades, and repair the damaged weapons of the troops. It can't even reload bullets, let alone produce explosives and guns and ammunition.

Other military sub-districts only set up some soy sauce factories, rice vinegar factories and rice mills. To put it in one sentence: it is better to have them than not to have them, but they are of no use at all.

When Commander Liu heard what the commander-in-chief said, he replied with difficulty:

"Old commander, you know our Division 1. Although we have two regiments of main forces, the area we defend is also large. All our supplies have been exchanged for supplies, so we don't have any extra supplies to open a factory."

"Besides, opening a factory requires equipment, and we don't have anything here. We don't have the conditions at all."

At this time, Political Commissar Yu took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Commander Liu.

"This is the information sent from the headquarters. It describes how to use some common materials around us to produce concentrated sulfuric acid."

"The commander and I have done some research and are planning to open an explosives factory in the military region. The concentrated sulfuric acid will be handled by your Division 1. You must provide 500 kilograms of concentrated sulfuric acid to the military region's logistics department every month. Take this process document back and study it carefully. You must build the workshop as soon as possible."

"Once our military district builds the explosives factory, we will have countless grenades to fight the Japanese in the future."

I have to say that the political commissar’s plan is very good, and it makes people excited just by hearing it.

The military district commander at the side also added: "It's not just your division. In addition to Chen Dalei's Sixth Military District, the other four military districts have also received their own tasks."

"The situation here is very dire at the moment. We cannot build large-scale arsenals like the Eighth Route Army. We can only disperse everything so that it will be easy to move even if the enemy finds us."

"Although the headquarters will occasionally send various supplies to the military region, Jin Province is too far away from us. Normally, it's OK, but once a large-scale battle with the Japanese devils begins, those supplies cannot be guaranteed to arrive in time."

"We have to rely on ourselves. Only if we have our own arsenal can we guarantee adequate supply. In addition, relevant equipment has been slowly delivered to our military region. We all have to be prepared."

In fact, these are also strategic plans specially formulated by the heads of the headquarters. After all, "it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Transporting various industrial products from Shanxi Province is too far away and there is always the risk of being intercepted by the Japanese. It may be okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, the Japanese are not fools and will definitely notice it.

It would be better to transport the production equipment. As long as one set is transported, it can be produced on-site in bases in other provinces.

For example, in the Jianghuai Military Region, a match production line, a steam engine power unit, a small cement production line, three stamping equipment, two lathes and two grinders have been delivered, and some military supplies can be initially produced.

As for the higher-level military region, it has obtained a small production line that can produce 500,000 rounds of ammunition per month, a set of thermal power generation equipment, and a set of imitation Ma Sihuan rifle production line that can produce 1,000 rifles per month.

The main consideration is the actual situation here, so we try to make all the equipment as small and light as possible.

In fact, the biggest function of the headquarters arsenal now is to produce a variety of equipment, especially various coal-fired steam-powered equipment, which are very popular in various bases.

As long as this kind of equipment is available, various factories can be set up, and then, based on the technology of the arsenal, various military products can be produced by copying the model.

For example, stamping equipment is used to produce helmets, lathes and grinders are used to produce various firearms parts, and they are used to repair damaged firearms.

It is even possible to disperse a production line, with each location producing some parts and eventually sending them to an absolutely safe place for assembly.

In the past, our military industry was weak because we had no channels to obtain industrial equipment. Even if we wanted to build a modern factory, it would be like a cook without rice.

Now, various mechanical equipment are produced and sent to major bases from time to time. Our industrial strength is also growing slowly. This is a very good phenomenon.

However, these things are not so good for Commander Liu and his division. After all, the raw materials and food for the personnel alone are a huge expense.

Just when he wanted to complain and ask the military district for some supplies, Chen Dalei pushed the door and walked in.

"Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar, good news."

"Hey, Lao Liu, you are here too."
