Wang Ping did not expect that the experience of manufacturing and using mines he summarized was promoted on a large scale throughout the Eighth Route Army in just one month.

In the entire North China, wherever there are Eighth Route Army, there will be mines, and the Eighth Route Army's large-scale use of mines was nearly a year earlier than in history.

In the face of ceramic mines and stone mines that are powerful, huge in number, and the mine detectors do not respond at all, the Japanese and puppet troops complained and suffered heavy casualties. Not long after, small-scale Japanese and puppet troops in the entire North China did not dare to leave their strongholds to go out for a sweep.

Of course, these are all later stories. Back to the temporary station of the arsenal, Zhang Ding had already taken more than 100 people selected from the absenteeism, used explosives to start opening mountains and building roads, and then built a huge underground factory on the hillside of a stone mountain!

The twelve students brought back by Professor Li Xuebin deserve to be from a mechanical background. They had never touched guns. After seeing the workers using parts to arm the rifle several times, they could understand the principles of the 38th large cover and the mid-formal rifle. Then, together with the workers, they assembled the damaged weapons on the battlefield.

The reactions of these students made Wang Ping realize that they were all a group of passionate young people they had loved, and also made Wang Ping more confident to keep them in the arsenal.

"Professor Li, the students you taught are indeed extraordinary. If there were no such damn war, they would definitely be pillars of the country!" Wang Ping sighed from the bottom of his heart when he walked to Li Xuebin, who was studying a heavy machine gun!

"Director Wang said it well, they are all pillars. If a country wants to grow, it cannot be separated from its strong industrial strength. If it wants to develop industry, it cannot be separated from them!" Li Xuebin was particularly proud when he said the last sentence. After all, these students were all educated by him.

But this inner pride disappeared for only a few seconds, and then he said helplessly!

"But now that the Japanese are fighting, there are wars everywhere. These students have only one skill but no place to use their skills!"

"No, they have a place to use their skills!" Wang Ping retorted with a firm look on his face.

"War cannot be separated from weapons and equipment, and weapons and equipment need talents like them to be produced. Without good weapons and equipment, our Chinese army will not be able to resist for such a long time when facing the Japanese invaders!"

"It's not easy to talk about!" Li Xuebin still had a helpless expression.

"The government has many arsenals, but many arsenals are controlled by bureaucrats. Even if they are sent in, they have no place to use their skills. And in the eyes of the government, making weapons by themselves is far from comparable to buying them directly!"

"There is a chance!" Wang Ping thought to himself.

After a smile that was unaware of a smile flashed on his face, he directly looked at Li Xuebin with a longing look, and then asked: "If Professor Li doesn't dislike him, he can stay in our Eighth Route Army, but the conditions are a little worse!"

"To be honest, although I am the director of the military arsenal, I am actually a commander who is a bare-headed commander. I have dozens of workers in front of me, and I can only assemble weapons and ammunition with used parts, and then I can produce some land mines and nothing else, otherwise I wouldn't have robbed the equipment of the Japanese coal mine!"

"But, our Eighth Route Army is really fighting the Japanese and really want to start an arsenal and produce its own weapons and ammunition!"

"Professor Li should know that our Eighth Route Army is notorious for its poor equipment, but even so, our Eighth Route Army has wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in nearly a year of expedition, of which there are no less than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops!"

"The equipment is poor and the number of Japanese and puppet troops has been eliminated. They were all soldiers for their lives. Many times, several soldiers died to eliminate a Japanese devil. In order to change this unfavorable situation, we decided to set up an arsenal from scratch and produce our own weapons and ammunition!"

"You Eighth Route Army said that it was this. I was caught by the Japanese and I heard a lot of your deeds in fighting the Japanese!" Li Xuebin, who had a touch on his face, couldn't help but sigh, and gave Wang Ping another thumbs up.

But not long after, this touch became helpless!

"But it's not easy to create an arsenal and produce weapons and ammunition by yourself."

"If you don't say anything else, you can't get all the equipment for producing weapons and ammunition. Director Wang, it's not that I, Li Xuebin, have a good idea, but it's almost impossible to do it!"

Wang Ping replied firmly: "It is impossible to do it. Only by doing it can there be hope. If you don't do it, the arsenal will never be built."

"As for equipment, we can buy it without us. If we can't buy it, we will make it ourselves!"

Speaking of this, Wang Pingyi asked with some advice: "Professor Li is a persistent in the mechanical aspects. Experts should know that the principles of many mechanical equipment are understood. As long as you can get a few of the most primitive equipment, many metal parts can be processed!"

"Take the equipment we seized from Baltouling for example, it should be converted into a stamping machine tool, a cutting equipment, and a drilling equipment. There should be no problem. The only thing we lack is technology, experienced engineers and technicians!"

At this time, Li Xuebin looked at Wang Ping as if he saw a monster, with disbelief and shock on his face.

It took a minute to answer: "Director Wang, you are right. After the equipment you brought back from the Bultoling Coal Mine, you can indeed assemble three of the equipment you just mentioned after the split. However, mechanical engineers without sufficient experience will definitely not be able to do it."

"If you don't know how to do it, you can do it!"

"Just based on what you said just now, there will be hope after doing it. I, Li Xuebin, decided to stay and help you assemble the three sets of equipment before leaving!"

"Thank you, Professor Li. On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I thank you!" Wang Ping felt even more confident in keeping Li Xuebin.

He continued to ask: "Professor Li, since he is interested in the formation of an arsenal in our Eighth Route Army, why can't he stay?"

Wang Ping could see the embarrassing expression on Li Xuebin's face at a glance.

As a patriotic intellectual, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to serve the country with such a good opportunity. The reason why he disagrees is that there must be something unspeakable.

Because Li Xuebin didn't say it, Wang Ping didn't dare to guess, but just continued to instigate him.

"It must be that our Eighth Route Army is poor and cannot afford the government's salary. If you help us Eighth Route Army, you can't go hungry by yourself, and you can't even make your family hungry!"

Li Xuebin still didn't say anything, but Wang Ping clearly saw that his brow frowned.

Wang Ping immediately understood that Li Xuebin was just worried about his family and that his treatment in the military arsenal would not support his family.

His eyes lit up and he immediately replied: "Professor Li, if it is really for this reason, you can rest assured. It won't take long for our Eighth Route Army to issue documents on the treatment of intellectuals. I promise that if we join the arsenal, even if our leading cadres are hungry, they will not let you go hungry!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping did not hesitate and directly explained the technician hierarchy system that had agreed to the headquarters and waited for the Yan'an to issue documents to explain.

Then he added: "Professor Li, although our Eighth Route Army is poor, it is like the current arsenal, poor and poor. However, we are working hard to change and have achieved results. Not to mention, the living treatment of many of our troops is better than that of the Central Army. For example, the independent regiment I brought out, soldiers can eat an egg in two days and three taels of meat in three days, which is impossible in the Central Army!"
