Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Liu Guifu took the drawings and saw that the first piece of paper had a strange long barrel drawn on it that looked like a rifle but not a rifle. It was a bit like the Japanese army's grenade launcher, but different. It looked more like a small cannon. The entire weapon consisted of a launch tube, sights, handle, guard, shoulder strap, guards at both ends, grip, as well as a launching mechanism, firing mechanism, safety device, etc. It looked really weird.

Seeing the general description next to it, which said that the caliber of the ammunition was 40mm and the effective range was between 300m and 500m, Liu Guifu was suddenly confused. What on earth was this thing? It looked a bit like the Japanese grenade launcher, but not exactly the same.

Then he looked at the second drawing, which was also a strange cannon. The twelve barrels of the weapon were arranged in a 3*4 pattern on it. The whole gun looked like a box. The barrel was about 90cm long and was dragged by two huge tires. The caliber was 107mm, and it was required to be able to be disassembled and fired independently.

而且射程大概在8到10公里，要求能0到60度角度发射，整体重量大概在400千克，炮弹约20kg重。发射方式通过电激引信来激发。

Liu Guifu looked at the two drawings with a strange look on his face. After thinking for a while, he said to Zeng Jiwen.

"Brigade Commander, based on our current capabilities, the 40mm can be made on your blueprint, but the 107mm requires a small engine for traction, and we don't have the parts for that right now. And even if we could, the production volume would definitely be low. The barrel needs to be hand-polished by a craftsman, and you'll need to find the sight and electrical leads."

"Also, your cannon requires a lot of steel. One cannon is estimated to require 1000 kilograms of high-quality steel. The military factories currently don't have enough."

Zeng Jiwen couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Liu Guifu give a definite answer. The sight had many related accessories from the artillery captured earlier, not to mention the batteries. All the parts removed from Japanese cars and motorcycles were already in the warehouse.

As for the small engine, he had it secretly developed when he was in Delin. Although the production volume was not large due to the scale and confidentiality, there are still several hundred sets in reserve, and they have been secretly transported to the brigade headquarters.

As for steel, the Japanese army’s railroad tracks are ready-made materials.

So he said happily to Liu Guifu.

"Chief Engineer Liu, the materials you mentioned are fine. I'll have them delivered to the factory later. Let's see how many rifles we can produce if we stop manufacturing them and I provide you with the raw materials."

Zeng Jiwen said with anticipation.

Liu Guifu pondered for a moment and said, "If I stop the rifle team and add the remaining people, I can produce about 10 40mm caliber weapons and more than 50 rounds of artillery shells a day."

"But for this one, you might only get one every week. Even after you become proficient, it'll take at least two days to get one. As for the shells, you can probably get more than twenty rounds a day."

Zeng Jiwen became excited after hearing Liu Guifu's reply, and immediately said that the sight and battery should be delivered immediately, and the steel would be delivered in a few days. The rest of the shells could be put on hold for the time being, and priority should be given to the production of these two weapons and the rest of the light and heavy machine guns. The rest could wait until summer.

After listening to this, Liu Guifu agreed and said that he would adjust the arrangements later.

After finishing the job, Zeng Jiwen stopped bothering Liu Guifu and happily left the military factory with his men.

As for the weapon Zeng Jiwen requested from the military factory, it was two of the three legendary guerrilla weapons from the original time and space. Zeng Jiwen had no use for the automatic rifle at the moment, but the RPG rocket launcher from the original time and space would be a significant counter to the Japanese tanks and bunkers.
