Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 361 The Scared Chief (First Update!)

"Take a hair and move the whole body..." Hearing these words, Commander Nie's brows that were already frowning deepened even more now.

Then I suddenly thought of the last anti-encirclement and suppression campaign.

If Wang Ping hadn't sent three or four thousand repaired rifles to the military region in time, he would have quickly formed three new regiments and replaced the three main regiments on the front line as mobile troops in his hands.It is almost impossible for the military region to concentrate its forces to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops and sweep the troops all the way.

Because, at that time, the entire military region was full of Japanese and puppet troops mopping up troops, and every regiment had battles, and it was impossible to get away.

Under such circumstances, the military region had only one way to win the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, which was to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to drag the Japanese and puppet troops to death.

In the process of dragging the Japanese and puppet troops to death, both the troops of the military region and the common people paid an unprecedented huge price.

This shows how important the mobile force is to the entire military region.

Commander Nie had thought of this situation, since the day the military region was established, he wanted to form a mobile force in the military region.However, he didn't have the conditions to form a mobile unit at all.This is why the military guard battalion was expanded into a guard regiment until the last anti-encirclement and suppression battle, and the level of equipment was not as good as the newly expanded main regiment on the front line.

Although he was very moved, Commander Nie still shook his head helplessly and replied: "It's not easy!"

"Wang Ping, our Eighth Route Army is poor!"

"The following military divisions don't have enough equipment or supplies. How can they support the military divisions to form a mobile force?"

"Of course, as long as I give an order, the following commanders will definitely prefer to starve themselves and fight the devils with big knives and spears. I will send up the best equipment. However, I can't give an order. Just give this order. The combat effectiveness of the front-line combat troops will be affected, and the loss outweighs the gain!"

Wang Ping didn't want to give up on this idea yet, and was going to try one last time!
Although it would be a little overstepping for him to do so, Wang Ping couldn't control so much, and continued to insist on meeting Commander Nie's gaze on him.

"However, Commander, forming a mobile force is really important. If the Japanese and puppet troops carry out another encirclement and suppression campaign of the same scale as last time, and the military region has no mobile force, and several military sub-divisions have no mobile force, then they can only be beaten passively!"

Commander Nie frowned, but he was not angry.

After taking a deep breath, he asked Wang Ping, "Mobile troops, to put it lightly, where does the food come from? Where does the equipment come from? Where does the ammunition come from? It can be said that now we have nothing but soldiers!"

The anxious Wang Ping went all out, and in order to solve the loophole in the military region, he blurted out: "Chief, the equipment and ammunition arsenal can solve it!"

"As for food and pay, the arsenal can also help the military region solve part of it, but it will not be very stable!"

"You solve it, Wang Ping, don't be joking!" Commander Nie's frowning brows relaxed, and he stared at Wang Ping and asked back.

"The arsenal doesn't even have a factory building now. How do you solve it? I know you are doing it for the military region's good, and I know it's very important. Don't worry, as long as the time is right, the military region will definitely form at least one brigade of mobile troops. As for now, The conditions are not yet ripe!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping still did not give up on this idea, and met Commander Nie's eyes and said affirmatively.

"Chief, I got the news this morning that the arsenal will be able to reload bullets in five days. This is all due to Professor Li Xuebin, Zhou Wu's persistence, and the credit of dozens of their students."

"In the morning, I saw Professor Li's bullet stamping equipment at the temporary station of the arsenal. The speed is very fast. As long as there are enough copper rods, it can press [-] bullets a day!"

"Professor Li promised me that the bullet reloading machine will be built within five days, and if conditions permit, another bullet punching machine will be built!"

"Professor Zhou, who just joined the arsenal, also promised to get the primer out of the bullet within three days."

"When the bullets are available, the bullet casings can be collected by the front-line troops. There is no problem. The bullets will also have primers. It will be no problem to use high explosives for the propellant. As long as the raw materials are sufficient and the production is overtime for 24 hours, the arsenal can produce at least one month. Reload 40 rounds of ammunition!"

"Are you sure this is not a joke!" Commander Nie asked, staring at Wang Ping with bright eyes.

"I'm sure. At the same time, I also invite the chief to go to the arsenal in five days to witness the production of the first batch of reloading bullets!" Wang Ping invited with a confident face.

"Go, definitely go!" Commander Nie affirmed without hesitation.

No one is more aware of the importance of these bullets to the military region than Commander Nie.

According to statistics, due to the large-scale expansion of troops, except for the battles of annihilation, which were seized, other battles were only trenches without replenishment.

After a period of time, the seizures after the military region's last anti-encirclement and suppression victory have been almost consumed.

Not surprisingly, the ammunition in the hands of most combat troops can reach five rounds per capita, which is already very good.

If the arsenal can produce 40 rounds of ammunition a month, for the military region, it directly means that the average per capita of five rounds of ammunition can be increased to ten rounds at once, a full double, and there will be replenishment every month.This will definitely be of great benefit to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of all troops in the entire military region.

Glad to be happy, Commander Nie has not forgotten another problem of forming a mobile force!Weaponry!

"Wang Ping, even if we have the ammunition, what about the equipment? Now the frontline troops don't have enough equipment, so how can they hand over equipment to the military area to form a mobile unit! Don't tell me, now the arsenal can manufacture its own equipment! If this is the case, I will I will personally go to Yan'an to ask for credit for you!"

"Not yet!" Wang Ping readily admitted.

Seeing the flickering disappointed expression on Commander Nie's face, Wang Ping changed the subject and continued: "But, because of Professor Li, they modified a complete set of cutting machines, stamping machines, milling machines, grinding machines, and drilling machines... In addition to the barrel of the rifle, some basic accessories can already be produced in small batches in the arsenal. However, we are short of skilled technicians, and those who operate these devices are all students of Professor Li, and the output is not very high."

"But for the arsenal, this is already a remarkable achievement."

"A rifle, as long as the barrel is good, our arsenal can fix it!"

"Several military regions can now use scrapped rifle parts to reassemble armed rifles. The repair rate of bad guns is only [-] to [-]%, and the residual fire is less than [-]%. The remaining rifles, because of the lack of spare parts, they can only be treated as scrap iron. !,"

"But it's different now. The arsenal can process spare parts by itself. As long as the rifles they can't repair are sent to the military region, the arsenal can repair them. There are four military regions in total, and they can casually collect two or three thousand. Iron rifle!"

"Using the barrels of scrapped rifles, our arsenal produces other parts by ourselves. We have successfully armed five rifles with no problems at all!"

Undoubtedly, Commander Nie was frightened again.

After confirming that Wang Ping was not lying, a touch of firmness quickly appeared on his face.

"I have guns, ammunition, and soldiers. Now I have to pay for food and wages. The military area is so large, and it is not a problem to feed thousands of people. If it is not possible, just leave the base area and go outside to grab it from the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops~ Staff Officer Long, I think something is wrong!"
