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

At this time, Kong Hao was sighing again. The merit points were really wasted. The weapons and ammunition he had just exchanged seemed to be a lot, but they were probably not even as much as a Type B division of the Japanese devils.

And these are basically light weapons. Heavy weapons like 105mm howitzers are even more expensive, not to mention large items like airplanes, tanks, and aircraft carriers.

There is still a long way to go, and the Japanese devils cannot be driven away in a day or two. We can only continuously improve the Eighth Route Army's weapons self-sufficiency rate.

"System, help me exchange a bullet production line with a 6.5mm caliber bullet and a monthly output of 30 rounds."

"Host, 2000 merit points are required."

"In addition, I need a set of equipment that can pull various rifling, five sets of coal-fired power generation equipment, a set of copper ore refining equipment, four lathes, five drilling machines, five milling machines, three hydraulic presses, and five grinding machines."

"Host, these require 1500 merit points, and the remaining merit points."

After doing all this, Kong Hao asked the system to set up the cave in a hidden place a little far away from their current location.

There is also a road covered with vegetation that leads directly to the gate of the arsenal, which is difficult to be found without special attention.

Next, he sent out a number of personnel to explore in all directions. This was the most basic training for the special forces, which was to stay alert at all times and not let the team be in any danger.

Half an hour later, Wu Tianzhen came back with a look of joy on his face and said mysteriously:

"Captain, please come with me quickly, we have found the treasure."

Looking at Wu Tianzhen who was in an excited state, Kong Hao also pretended to be happy and said:

"Let's go, call Captain Lu and go take a look together."

When everyone arrived at the door of the secret arsenal, they found that the location was very hidden, connected by a wide road that could accommodate two large trucks.

Perhaps because there has been no human habitation for a long time, the road has been covered with vegetation, even the door of the warehouse.

At this moment, everyone looked at the rusty iron gate in front of them, and suddenly felt an excitement of treasure hunting.

After everyone worked together to open the door, there was a deep space inside, and there was no end in sight.

Just when Kong Hao was about to lead people in, he was stopped by Wu Tianzhen who was standing beside him.

"Captain, once this dark space is opened, it could be very dangerous without knowing what's inside. I suggest you observe it for a while longer."

After saying that, he took out a candle from his tactical backpack, lit it with a match and placed it in the corner of the door.

Kong Hao didn't say anything when he saw this. He knew that before joining the Eighth Route Army, Wu Tianzhen came from a family of tomb robbers and was proficient in all kinds of mechanisms and lock picking.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Tianzhen was spotted by Kong Hao and recruited into the special operations team. This kind of talent is most suitable for the special operations team.

About ten minutes later, seeing that there was nothing unusual with the candle, Wu Tianzhen nodded at Kong Hao.

After everyone entered the cave, Wu Tianzhen found the lighting device immediately. After turning it on, he suddenly discovered that there was a different world inside.

I saw a large number of weapons and ammunition piled together densely. A large number of light machine guns, heavy machine guns and mortars were mounted directly on the ammunition boxes, and even a large number of mountain cannons were neatly placed on the ground.

When Captain Lu saw this, he was so happy that he shouted loudly:

"My God, how much weapons and ammunition are needed? Our 772nd Regiment is going to make a fortune now."

After he finished speaking, he found out that Kong Hao was not from their 772nd Regiment, so he quickly changed his words and said:

"Captain Kong, our 386th Brigade has also made a fortune this time."

Kong Hao just smiled and then said seriously:

"This matter must be kept secret for the time being. No information can be leaked before the main force arrives."

"Captain Lu, I suggest that we seal off this place first and gather all the troops to establish a defensive position outside the cave. We should not allow any enemy to approach this place."

"The other thing is to send reliable people back to the 772nd Regiment Headquarters and ask Commander Cheng to mobilize a large force to transport these weapons and ammunition."

"By the way, I will send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, hoping that the brigade commander can mobilize a large number of transport teams to transport weapons and ammunition."

"I just roughly estimated that these weapons and ammunition can equip tens of thousands of people. This is not a small amount. If the Japanese get to know about this, they will probably send troops to snatch it, and then we will be in trouble."

When Captain Lu heard the three words "telegram", he immediately exclaimed:

"Captain Kong, it's incredible that your small company-level combat unit has a radio. None of our regiments have one."

Kong Hao quickly explained: "Because our troops are special, this is a special approval from the brigade commander."

At this point, he remembered that he had forgotten to exchange the radio station just now, and this opportunity could not be missed.

Therefore, he exchanged 10 German-made Feld individual radios and 20 Japanese-made Type 200- radios through the system, spending merit points.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had previously purchased a large number of radio stations from abroad, so it is understandable that they stored some of them in secret warehouses.

Besides, the Eighth Route Army would definitely not let anyone know about such a huge bargain, and it was even more impossible for them to go to Yan Laoxi to verify it. This also gave Kong Hao the opportunity to exchange more things and put them in the warehouse.

Thinking of this, Kong Hao issued the latest instructions:

"Brother Tongzi, please help me exchange 1910 M500 Browning pistols and 10 rounds of bullets; 712 Mauser M1000 rapid-fire pistols and 30 rounds of bullets; 1000 American Townsend submachine guns and 40 rounds of bullets."

"And make these weapons 80% new and store them separately from the others."

Before the establishment of the Taiyuan Arsenal, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also imported weapons from various countries. These pistols and submachine guns could be disguised as equipment that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had replaced.

Yan Laoxi’s troops are not good at fighting, but their weapons and equipment are extremely sufficient. They are the type of “poor students with lots of stationery”.

However, this was a complete bargain for the Eighth Route Army. Instead of keeping so many weapons and equipment gathering dust in the warehouse, it would be better to use them all to fight the Japanese. This was a great value for money.

"As you command, host. The total merit points consumed are 475, and the remaining merit points are points."

Kong Hao saw the remaining merit points and resisted the urge in his heart. Sometimes too much is as bad as too little. There will be many places that will need merit points in the future, so he must not use up all the merit points at once.

After finishing all this, he asked the telegraph operator to give a brief report on the situation here.

After receiving the telegram, Brigade Commander Chen had a strange expression on his face.

"Political Commissar, do you think this Kong Hao is the reincarnation of the money-giving boy? I asked him to help out at the Logistics Department Arsenal, but after just one day, he discovered a secret arsenal of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"There are a large number of weapons and ammunition inside, including 75 12mm mountain cannons. This is the equipment of an artillery battalion. Although it was copied from the Taiyuan Arsenal, it is a rare treasure for our Eighth Route Army."

Political Commissar Wang read the contents of the telegram and replied happily:

"I don't know if Kong Hao is a money-giving boy, I only know that our Eighth Route Army is going to get rich this time."

"Given the wealth of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, if this secret arsenal really has enough equipment for a division, then the number of bullets must be more than two million."

"In this way, we can use the large number of weapons we seized from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army before. Since they are not compatible with other ammunition, they were left in the warehouse to gather dust after the ammunition was consumed. Now they can be put to good use."

The brigade commander thought about it carefully and it made sense. But no matter what, there was a division's worth of equipment and a mountain artillery battalion in the armory, which was exciting just to think about.
