The teacher's evil hand did not strike, but in Wannan, a certain bald man actually stretched out his evil hand, and he was about to strike.

The bald man has a pro-Japanese minister, Minister He, who signed the Ho-Mei Agreement with Umezu, and can still hold the position of minister. Moreover, there are many factions under Minister He, and they have a lot of say.

He was forced at gunpoint to fight against the Japanese. He persisted for less than two years. Then he tore up the agreement in private and signaled his subordinates to create friction. Now it is even more blatant. Does he have elite troops under his command? Yes, there are quite a few, dozens in total.

Sure. But, these troops are either guarding the north in Xi'an, or they are... In short, they are never active in fighting the Japanese, but they are very active in fighting us.

Hu Changyi knew that what happened in Wannan would happen, and he tried to remind him of it, but he really had no ability to stop it. Perhaps the weapons sent before would add a little more vitality to the surrounded comrades.

Jiuzhai, new year and new atmosphere, the 2nd Brigade staying here led the village militiamen to conduct intensive training in winter, aiming to maintain the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of the militiamen. At the factory, the machining is still busy, and the bullet workshop is still

The most important thing is that the discontinuation of hydraulic power on the barrel had a certain impact. Therefore, the stock barrels were taken out to maintain production capacity.

The explosives factory, using fertilized field powder obtained from the Japanese, produced 100 tons of high explosives last year and is continuing to do so this year. 100 tons is a lot? A long gun grenade charge contains 4 kilograms of explosives.

How many can be loaded? 25,000 is a lot? But, what about the 120-weight mortar shells? What about the 82-weight mortar shells? What about the grenade grenades? What about the charge of military grenades? What about landmines? What about directional mines?

That is to say, we can seize or buy ready-made explosives from the Japanese, and we can also produce some other explosives. Only with a huge amount of black powder can we ensure that there is no shortage of grenades for hundreds of thousands of troops. We can ensure that every

The Men 82 mortar can distribute dozens of rounds of shells, ensuring that each brigade's 120 heavy mortars can be pulled out to blast the Japanese at critical moments.

Oh, and there is also nitrate starch, which is produced using sweet potato starch and nitric acid as the main ingredients, and has also achieved yields. Nowadays, a lot of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown, and these are crops with high starch yields.

Of course, the 386th Brigade is an exception. After all, it is separated by a mountain from the arsenal, so supplies are very convenient, and there are a lot of seizures... Ahem, the No. 1 brigade in the world is not just a boast, it is really strong.

In short, the production capacity of the explosives factory is still very poor, and we have to find ways to continue to strengthen it this year. We strive to... let the high explosive charge of militia grenades have a higher specific gravity.

Compared with the explosives factory, in fact, the firearms manufacturing in Jiuzhai Arsenal is no longer the most important to the Eighth Route Army. How can I put it? There are already 6 arsenals below that can produce Bayi-type horse rifles, and 3 more

One company can produce squad machine guns, and one can produce civilian 2 and 4 heavy machine guns.

After all, firearms have a service life, unlike bullets, grenades, and shells, which are all consumables and are gone after being fired. Although the earliest batch of August 1-type horse rifles had a service life of only 300 bullets and were accurate,

But this is enough to last 100 battles. And the later high-quality barrel steel increased the life of the barrel to 2,000 rounds, making it even less likely to break.

What's more, after this continuous battle, a lot of guns were seized, which filled a considerable gap in weapons for the Eighth Route Army.

To put it bluntly, there is an acute shortage of ammunition on the Eighth Route Army, but there is not much shortage of firearms. Oh, one more thing is that the arsenal below can make shotguns, shotguns, shotgun shells and shotgun bullets.

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army's demand for firearms is not very urgent. A shotgun team can have at least 3 people, but as many as 6 people, and even more can have 9 people in a squad.

For example, for the guerrillas trained by the 386 Brigade, when they left, they took away a shotgun, 50 rounds of shells, 3 rifles, 4 shotguns, a full 90 rounds of bullets, and 240 rounds of shotshells. This is enough for the size of the guerrilla group.

If you reach 20 people, you can form a battle group with the shotgun as the core.

In short, the demand for firearms is not very urgent, or the large-scale demand for firearms does not need to be met by the Jiuzhai Arsenal. Of course, high-quality semi-automatic, continuous machine guns, Ma Sihuan sniper rifles, etc., there are people who want them no matter how many are made, and they are even rushing to get them.

.So, this requires Hu Changyi to arrange and coordinate production capacity.

He doesn't care about the production of the explosives factory, and even Minister Zhang won't let him get closer than 1 kilometer away from the explosives factory. However, Hu Changyi also has the right to intervene and arrange the production of the explosives factory. For example, this month, Hu Changyi arranged for them to increase the production capacity of TNT.

, the arsenal will increase the investment in manpower and material resources in this area.

But no matter what, the current production cannot meet the needs of the entire Eighth Route Army, and this requires continued efforts.

After being busy for several days, Hu Changyi finally received the announcement about the incident in Wannan: why are you in such a hurry! Yes, just like in history, what should have happened happened. Of course, according to what Minister Zhang revealed

According to the news, the surrounded troops relied on a full 200 long artillery grenades and hundreds of grenades that had just been issued, but the elites suffered a heavy loss.

Of course, this is just the information disclosed by Minister Zhang. Hu Changyi doesn't know the specific situation, nor does he know at his level. Anyway, Bald Chiang, who is not doing business, does not fight the Japanese, but instead attacks his own people who fight the Japanese. Such a thing

He really dared to do it. Hmm... The following paragraph seemed to suit him very well: I am a gangster, who should I be afraid of?

January 1941 was a dark month. When they stabbed people in the back, the little devils did not appreciate the flattery of the bald head. Instead, they concentrated seven and a half infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade to control the preserved fruits in southern Henan.

District launched a three-pronged attack. Didn't you transfer the main force to attack the Communist army? I'm just here to beat you up and seize the territory by the way.

This operation of the Japanese made Guo Preserved's follow-up counterattack plan have to be terminated. After all, the position under the buttocks is still needed, and this cannot be lost.

I won’t go into details about how the Battle of Southern Henan was fought. Then the Japanese from East Hebei carried out a brutal and inhuman massacre of Panjiayu Village. 1,237 innocent people died under the butcher’s knife, creating the Panjiayu Tragedy.

But on the 30th, legal currency was officially banned from circulation in the border areas. This was a helpless move. You really can’t even afford a piece of paper with legal currency.

This was January of 1941, the twelfth lunar month of the lunar calendar. Cold weather and cold hearts made the good situation of the Anti-Japanese War become cold.

No matter what the outside world says, the Spring Festival here in Jiuzhai has arrived. The soldiers and civilians who have been busy for a year can finally celebrate the New Year.
