Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 369 Attack Again (Third Update!)

As soon as he made the decision to relocate the arsenal, Wang Ping refocused his attention on Zhang Ding in front of him.

"Comrade Zhang Ding, the scale of the arsenal will definitely become larger and larger in the future. One underground factory will definitely not be enough, and you still have to dig out a few warehouses dedicated to hoarding weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the task of building an underground arsenal cannot be stopped. continue."

Seeing Zhang Ding nodding his head to express his understanding, Wang Ping immediately turned his attention to the two political commissars.

"Political Commissar Zhou, Political Commissar Luo, without engineers, there would be no underground arsenal that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As I said just now, the scale of the arsenal needs to be expanded, and Zhang Ding's task is still very heavy. Therefore, I plan to set up a direct worker under the arsenal." The barracks, the arsenal, and the guard regiment are dual leaders, and Zhang Dinglai will be the battalion commander!"

"I agree!" The two political commissars barely thought, and nodded in agreement.

Wang Ping didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered Zhang Ding: "Zhang Ding, did you hear that, from now on you are the commander of the engineering battalion, and I will temporarily give you the establishment of 500 people, and set up the shelf of the engineering battalion for me within five days. .But there is one requirement, the progress of building the arsenal cannot be affected!"

In the next half month, the arsenal not only completed the relocation, but also directly expanded the production capacity of reloading bullets to [-] catties a month.

Not only that, political commissar Zhou Yong also built a small-scale iron-making furnace under the joint guidance of Li Xuebin and Zhou Wu. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, nearly 250 catties of pig iron can be smelted every day.

In this way, the raw materials for the production of grenades in the arsenal will be available.

Because the arsenal has a complete set of parts processing machines, Li Xuebin directly used rail steel to make a set of grenade body molds with grooves on the inner wall.In this way, the arsenal has another product, two hundred hand grenades per day!

Not only that, because of the existence of cutting, grinding, drilling and other machine tools, the mechanical group headed by Li Xuebin can make all the parts of five rifles every day except the barrel!As long as the barrel can be manufactured, the arsenal can imitate 150 [-] caps every month.

If there is a sufficient number of excellent technicians and a few machines to produce around the clock, [-] imitation [-] large covers can be easily produced in a month, and an infantry battalion can be equipped!

"Factory Director, we must find a way to solve the machine for making gun barrels as soon as possible!" Political commissar Zhou Yong found Wang Ping and said very anxiously.

"The damaged rifles sent by the front-line troops are basically blown barrels. As long as there are barrels, the rifle parts hoarded by the mechanical team can directly arm [-] rifles and equip a battalion!"

"Also, if possible, it's best to take down the devil's two coal mines and bring back some equipment."

"I asked Professor Li, as long as we can get all the equipment in the two ghost mines, he will definitely be able to duplicate all the equipment in the arsenal. In this case, our output of reloading bullets can be doubled directly!"

"In addition, Professor Zhou has already figured out the production method of smokeless gunpowder. I will be responsible for the raw materials, but you can only handle the related machinery and equipment!"

Wang Ping was more anxious than Zhou Yong. Whether it was the trust of the commander of the military region or the concern of the commander of Yan'an, Wang Ping was under tremendous pressure.

In the past few days, although he didn't go out, the information from the intelligence department of the military region was continuously delivered to him.

After a coal mine and a copper mine were attacked some time ago, the Japanese army directly strengthened the defense of these mines.It will definitely become more and more difficult for the arsenal to attack these mines again and again.Therefore, Wang Ping was thinking and choosing, and wanted to take down a mine from Devils in one battle, and then all the equipment in this mine could meet his needs.

After a few days, he still found a target, a large iron mine controlled by the devils.

However, this iron mine is too big. Although it is far away from the city where the devils have stationed heavy troops, it is not at all difficult for him to take it.

Because it was far away from the city, the Japanese army directly built this iron mine as a military fortress.

A reinforced squadron of the Japanese army, a brigade of the mine protection team, and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army were stationed inside, relying on several permanent firepower points around the mine to hold on.Whether it is a strong attack or a sneak attack, it is difficult to win it.

At the beginning, Wang Ping also thought about digging trenches to get close to the opponent's permanent firepower point and shorten the attack time.

However, Wang Ping gave up after the investigation platoon told himself the topography around the mine.

Because the whole mountain is a huge iron mine, the whole mountain can almost be called a stone mountain, and the surface is covered with only a few tens of centimeters of soil.Not to mention digging trenches, even the troops' offensive bunkers cannot be dug.

Because there was no way to attack, Wang Ping had been unable to make up his mind to send troops for several days.

Now seeing that Zhou Yong is so anxious, and he really wants to make some achievements in the arsenal to repay the commander and the commander in Yan'an.

After some hesitation, Wang Ping finally decided: "Half a month, political commissar, give me another half a month, and I promise to get back the equipment you want!"

That night, Wang Ping called Luo Wenbo, the political commissar of the regiment, and Yang Xiong, the chief of staff, to his room, along with a battalion commander, Hong Tao.

Due to the shortage of cadres, the three battalions of the guard regiment, except for the battalion commander Hong Tao, who was the original company commander, were promoted directly. , Until Wang Ping thinks that they can be battalion commanders before taking over as battalion commanders.

Wang Ping quickly introduced the situation of the iron mine around the sketches returned by the investigation platoon.

"Commander, it's just that we have less guns. If you are equipped with mountain guns or field guns, just call the devils one by one!" Luo Wenbo, the political commissar, spoke first.

Chief of Staff Yang Xiong directly denied: "The power of the mountain artillery is definitely not enough. I have seen the reinforced concrete towers and machine gun bunkers. When a field artillery fires a shell, it will hit at most one white spot. Unless the shell is directly shot into the firing hole. But the shooting distance of several hundred meters is almost impossible!"

"Unless you use the heavy artillery company of the independent brigade to borrow three 105mm heavy artillery and shoot directly at it, there may be hope to destroy it!"

"Don't even think about heavy artillery!" Wang Ping retorted without hesitation.

"It's so heavy, even if you borrow it, you won't be able to carry it up the mountain!"

Luo Wenbo, who was frowning, couldn't help complaining: "Using artillery is not enough, and digging trenches to shorten the attack distance is not enough, so what should we do! If it doesn't work, let's charge hard. I still don't believe it. The little devil can kill us with a few firepower points." Kill them all!"

To this complaint, Wang Ping didn't even have the thought of answering, and directly expressed his negation by ignoring it.

At this moment, Hong Tao, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly said: "Regimental Commander, when we were still in the Red Army, what we used the most was blasting with explosives. Even if the bunker cannot be destroyed, the powerful shock wave can still shock the enemies in the bunker." die!"

"It's just that I can't think of how to send the explosive package to the side of the devil's gun tower."

"If you let the blaster charge, the casualties of the army blaster will definitely be very heavy, and they may not be able to charge up!"

Chief of Staff Yang Xiong couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Lao Hong, you didn't say that!"

"If I can rush to the vicinity of the devil's bunker, I will use some explosives and throw a few grenades into the bunker through the shooting holes. No matter how many devils are hidden inside, I will be killed!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener does.An idea suddenly flashed in Wang Ping's mind, and he felt that he had found a breakthrough, but he just didn't think of a specific solution.

"Dynamite pack... Throw the explosive pack into the bunker to ambush, and use the shock wave to kill the devils in the bunker!" Wang Ping, frowning, couldn't help but mutter to himself.Finally, a clear idea appeared in his mind, and his eyes, which were dim just now, gradually became hot.
