Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yunqing began to introduce some of the current conditions of the arsenal.

"Chief of Staff, this is our Garand semi-automatic rifle production line..."

"The current monthly production capacity is around 1100 pieces..."

Zhang Yunqing picked up a finished Garand semi-automatic rifle and said.

The chief of staff looked at the gun and felt it was very novel. He seemed to have never seen it before.

So he also took one and made signs with his hands.

"Yunqing, this Garand rifle is probably not made in China..."

"Chief of Staff, this is not a domestic gun. It is used by the Americans. However, many of our engineers learned from the United States... and they happen to know the structure of this gun..."

"This Garand semi-automatic rifle can hold a total of eight bullets. As long as the bolt is pulled, it can fire many times. It makes up for the lack of firepower of our ordinary rifles..."

"Although it is not as fast as a submachine gun and does not hold as many bullets, it has a greater range, so it still has certain advantages over rifles or submachine guns..."

Zhang Yunqing explained.

The chief of staff felt a little enlightened upon hearing this.

"You can now produce 1100 of these rifles per month, which is equipment to strengthen the regiment... Such powerful firepower has indeed made up for our lack of firepower..."

"Then what is this kind of gun called?"

The chief of staff pointed to the MG42 general machine gun on the ground.

"This is the MG42 general-purpose machine gun. It can be said to be a heavy machine gun or a light machine gun. The rate of fire is about 1000 rounds per minute. Now the Germans are also developing this kind of thing..."

"However, we have already advanced it..."

As soon as Zhang Yunqing said that the rate of fire of this machine gun was about 1000 rounds, the chief of staff immediately became energetic.

More than 1000 rounds, what kind of concept is that? Just keep firing. Even the little devil's Type heavy machine gun can't fire so many bullets...

The chief of staff suddenly felt a little itchy.

This is a kind of machine gun that he has never seen in the south. As a veteran for many years, he hopes to give it a try.

Zhang Yunqing also saw what the chief of staff was thinking.

Then he led everyone to an open space.

The chief of staff fell directly to the ground, next to him was a fresh bullet chain.

Ta-ta-ta... Ta-ta-da... Ta-ta-ta...

MG42 is like the reaper of death. The sound is not only harsh, but also shows its great power!

Soon, all the bullets were fired.

The chief of staff looked excited.

"Yunqing... this is a good thing... this rate of fire is the fastest among all the weapons I have come into contact with... If the Eighth Route Army were all equipped with this kind of machine gun, the firepower level would have to be improved. How much..."

The chief of staff was obviously so excited about the fight just now that he completely forgot that the machine gun with a fast firing rate is also the most difficult for logistics.

Just this kind of machine gun cannot afford to be fed without the nourishment of tens of thousands of rounds of bullets...

However, Zhang Yunqing didn't say much. He just wanted to give the chief of staff confidence so that his future development would be smoother...

"Chief of Staff, our current monthly output of MG42 general machine guns in the arsenal is 42 pieces..."

"Basically, it's the amount of equipment supplied to a regiment."

General-purpose machine guns like the MG42 are rarely equipped even in German troops.

German second-tier troops are generally equipped with Czech light machine guns or Maxim heavy machine guns. For example, the MG42 general-purpose machine guns are basically in the first-line troops, and the number is not very large...

However, the First Independent Division now basically only uses the MG42 as a heavy machine gun.

The light machine guns are mainly DP light machine guns.

"Just now I seemed to have seen a cannon that has been produced in the production workshop. It is larger than the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon..."

"How is your cannon production now?"

The chief of staff actually wanted to ask this. Cannons are a rare item nowadays, and the Eighth Route Army is famous for having a small number of cannons.

If Zhang Yunqing hadn't often given some away, I guess the artillery battalion of the 129th Division wouldn't have been able to be set up now...

Zhang Yunqing became interested when it came to cannons. He also liked cannons.

Not only is a cannon worth ten thousand taels of gold when it fires, but it also echoes the saying, "The truth is always within the range of the cannon."

"Chief of Staff, the current output of 75mm infantry guns at Juanyugou Arsenal is 4 guns per month..."

"The production of 75mm field guns is 5 pieces per month!"

"The production of Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns is 53 guns per month!"

"The production of 60mm and 90mm mortars is 40 units per month!"

Zhang Yunqing said a lot in one breath. Not only the people at the headquarters were surprised, but also other cadres of the First Independent Division.

"What! Nearly 10 75mm cannons a month..."

"Your Juanyugou Arsenal has already developed into this..."

The chief of staff was even more surprised. He knew that a Japanese infantry brigade had two Type 2 infantry cannons, and the number of cannons produced by Zhang Yunqing's arsenal was enough to form a 5000-man brigade...

This is an artillery battalion!

One artillery battalion per month.

That year there were 12 artillery battalions and 120 cannons!

The more the chief of staff thought about it, the more excited he became. 120 cannons. What a scene. Hundreds of cannons fired at once. They were not afraid even if two divisions of the Japs came...

"Your Juanyugou Arsenal is really the largest arsenal of the Eighth Route Army..."

"Based on this output, we can add one super brigade every month without any problem..."

"This year we can train an elite force of fifty to sixty thousand people!"

The chief of staff said loudly, and there was also excitement in his words.

However, Zhang Yunqing's next words made everyone in the headquarters freeze in place.

"Chief of Staff...actually..."

"Our First Independent Division now has dozens of cannons in one brigade..."

"The entire division has at least about 75 150mm cannons!"

"There are more than 100 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber above 40mm!"

"I can say without reservation that as long as we are in Shanxi, the rest of my independent division can defeat a Japanese division with just these hundred cannons!"

"Not to mention we still have armor and aviation!"
