"What do I think I'm looking at? Do you think I don't know your little thoughts?" Commander Nie cursed without hesitation.

Commander Yang showed an embarrassing smile on his face.

You several team captains who had a big argument just now stopped at this time and saw Commander Nie with a guilty look on his face.

"Do you think I don't know? You all like the heavy mortars I sent from the military arsenal."

"To be honest, after these mortars fought, I was going to stay in your first military division. So, there is no need for you to go through a lot of trouble here to show me the exercise! But, I have a request!"

"In order to win this battle, the second division, third division, fourth division, and other Eighth Route Army troops have sent a large number of troops to fight aid, creating opportunities for us to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops. Now that the battle is over, you can't get all the benefits in the first division!"

"In terms of light weapons, each regiment and detachment, after I make up for the lost equipment, I will take away all the remaining ammunition. The same is true for ammunition, according to the standard of fifty bullets per capita, I will take away all the remaining ammunition!"

"No problem, Commander!" Commander Yang answered immediately.

In fact, there was still something in his mind that as long as the military region could keep the heavy artillery battalion, he would be willing to take away all the captured light weapons.

In his opinion, as long as the Japanese and puppet troops failed to fight in one day, they could continuously grab weapons from the Japanese.

But the heavy mortars in the heavy artillery battalion are different, and there is no one except the military region.

When Commander Yang looked happy, he seemed to have a 27 heavy mortars already belonged to him, Commander Nie continued to speak.

"Don't be too happy too early. That little light weapon cannot be replaced with a heavy artillery battalion!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops we wiped out were not only equipped with a lot of mortars and infantry artillery, but also a lot of mountain artillery field artillery, which seemed to have been seized. In addition, before the war, you also equipped a lot of infantry artillery and mountain artillery in the first division. The size of artillery for the military regiments, brigades, and military sub-district-level troops has been set. Since you want to leave heavy mortars, I can agree, but the scale and organization of the artillery in the first division must be based on the military region, and all the additional artillery will be handed over."

"In order to cooperate with us, other troops have suffered a lot of casualties. You should give them some soup when you eat meat in the district!"

This time, Commander Yang was not so cheerful and asked hesitantly: "Commander, what is the scale of the establishment formulated by the military region?"

Commander Nie did not hide it! He introduced it very readily: "The regiment directly belongs to a medium-sized mortar company, with a total of nine 81mm caliber mortars seized from the Japanese. In addition, a direct infantry artillery platoon is added, equipped with two Type 92 infantry artillery. In this way, when our regiment fights against a field infantry brigade of the Japanese army, at least he will not suffer any losses in terms of heavy firepower!"

"The brigade or brigade-level detachment is directly under an artillery battalion, including a heavy mortar company, with a total of nine 12o mm caliber heavy mortars. A mountain gun company, a total of six mountain guns, a flying thunder gun company, and a total of nine flying thunder guns!"

"You are all veterans in the mix of artillery battalions, and you should be able to see how they are!"

"Whether it is a heavy mortar, a flying thunder cannon, or a mountain cannon, it can be dismantled and transported directly by mules and horses. It can go anywhere, and it does not require much terrain. This only benefits but no harm for us in mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare!"

"Also, mountain cannons are mainly attacking artillery, and the power of heavy mortars is mainly reflected in the field battlefield. As for the thunder cannons, although the range is very close, they are very effective in dealing with the Japanese permanent fortifications and killing Japanese at close range!"

Seeing everyone nodding in recognition, Commander Nie continued: "The next step is the military sub-district. Because the number of artillery in our hands is limited, we will temporarily set an independent field artillery battalion. When there are artillery in the future, we will expand it into a regiment."

"However, whether it is a field artillery battalion or a field artillery regiment, they can only participate in the war when they encounter large-scale battles."

"The field cannons are too heavy. With the current conditions of our Eighth Route Army, transportation alone is enough for us to have a headache!"

After saying that, Commander Nie's eyes patrolled back and forth among several cadres in the district, and then asked: "How is it? I just asked you to agree. As long as you agree, I will stay in the heavy artillery battalion and take away the other extra artillery!"

"In addition, you are all senior cadres of our Eighth Route Army, and you can also know some things, so that you will be more confident in fighting in the future!"

Speaking of this, Commander Nie turned his attention to Wang Ping next to him: "You all know Wang Ping. After you came out of the division, you were appointed as the director of the arsenal and were ordered to form an arsenal. Now let him inform you of the current production capacity of the arsenal, and you will be happy!"

"Yes, sir!" This is a chance to show himself to himself. Of course, Wang Ping would not let it go and answer immediately.

"After nearly half a year of exhibition, our arsenal has become a comprehensive arsenal from scratch."

"If the raw materials are sufficient and two shifts are being produced, the arsenal can produce 3,500 rifles per month, 120 light machine guns, 40 heavy machine guns, 30 medium-sized 81mm caliber medium-sized mortars, and 15 heavy mortars with 12omm caliber heavy mortars."

"In addition, if nothing unexpected happens, the arsenal cannons can be built at most one month. There should be no problem with producing ten mountain cannons per month."

"As for field artillery, the arsenal has been launched for a long time now, and it can produce results in at most half a year!"

"In terms of ammunition, the monthly output of reloaded bullets and direct production of bullets is nearly 1.5 million, with more than 3,000 shells and 30,000 grenades. But there is one problem, that is, raw materials. Many times, many production lines in the arsenal will stop production due to insufficient raw materials. Therefore, I hope that everyone can get more raw materials for the arsenal in future operations to ensure that the arsenal will not stop production!"

Commander Yang knew two days ago that the arsenal could produce various weapons. However, after listening to Wang Ping's introduction, his expression was the same as that of several detachment captains, and he opened his mouth and looked shocked, but he didn't react for a long time.

"Wang Ping, you said just now that the production capacity is fine!" After finally reacting, he stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"There is definitely no problem, and I guarantee that it is only more or less!" Wang Ping answered confidently.

Commander Yang immediately turned his attention to several detachment captains: "Why are you still standing there? You have heard Wang Ping's words! In the future, in addition to fighting with the Japanese, you have another task, which is to help me grab materials from the Japanese. In the future, whoever pays more materials, I will give more weapons and ammunition allocated to the Arsenal in the future! You know everything!"

"Yes, commander!" Several detachment captains finally reacted and their eyes lit up and replied.

Commander Yang was very satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates. He turned his head and replied to Commander Nie: "Commander, I fully agree with the artillery equipment plan you just proposed. I will arrange the troops to clean the battlefield! Chief of Staff, please arrange the details. You can't leave any extra weapons and ammunition, and you can hand over all the extra weapons and ammunition!"
