Chapter 600 Open your eyes and talk nonsense
If no accidents occur, Hu Yizhou will no longer be in trouble with the Japanese in the next few months.
Although he wanted to kill more Japanese devils, the security team fought too many wars this year and wiped out too many Japanese devils. It was time to rest and rest.
Rest is not laziness or fear of fighting, but accumulating strength. Just like boxing, take back the fist, accumulate strength and then hit it out.
Currently, what restricts the development of security teams is the external environment, the second is technical equipment, and the third is resource materials.
The external environment cannot be changed. Even if the Japanese gave up Changzhi and defended Jincheng, Hu Yizhou had no choice but to do anything! Technical equipment cannot be created yet, so they can only work hard on resources and raw materials.
After a period of storage and use, the security team's copper ingots still have dozens of tons of inventory. Tungsten sand is useless at present, but it also has more than one ton of reserves.
These dozens of tons of copper ingots, coupled with the small copper mine in Qianzhao Village, can be turned into bullets and shells needed by the security regiment in a time, and cannonballs. They can also become electric motor copper coils, and can also become equipment that can be made by the current arsenal technology.
Of course, what the security team urgently needs most at present is bullets and shells. The shells are better, after all, the number of requirements is small, with tens of thousands or tens of thousands of rounds.
In addition to the sealing ring of grenade launcher grenade and the Thanoseven Rapid Fire Cannon under development, metal copper is required, for example, mortar shells are all made of gray iron as shells, which can save a lot of copper for making bullets.
As for the required raw materials, as long as the rifle is no longer built, the existing tinplate is enough to create several base shells.
The key is the bullet.
The bullet casings made by the security team are copper because they are easy to reinstall and use. In fact, since the shells fired from the Dabie Mountains were brought back, the arsenal began to reinstall bullets.
As for the warhead, it is a steel-core warhead. This thing is a bit abnormal, has a certain armor-piercing ability, and can save some copper resources.
By this calculation, these dozens of tons of copper ingots can be made of bullets that are enough for the security team to use for many years.
The key is the production capacity issue of the bullet production line.
After adjusting an automatic production line to an intermediate power rifle bullet, the production capacity will be only 10,000 rounds per day. Then the next step is to build the production line of the self-made bullets, and then build the bullet production line to prepare for the anti-aircraft machine gun.
Of course, at that time, the second battalion could only replace the second battalion with the semi-automatic bullet series of firearms.
In fact, strictly speaking, the combat ammunition consumed by bolting rifles does not consume much ammunition. A soldier's 100 rounds of bullets can be used for a long time. But the problem is that a general-purpose machine gun is a bullet-eating king of Hell, and its ammunition consumption is too high.
Moreover, for air defense, there is a dual-mounted MG42 universal anti-aircraft machine gun, a major bullet-eating company, waiting there.
But no matter what, as long as Jiuzhai is given a few months to half a year, the arsenal will be fully started, and it will be enough to accumulate bullets consumed by a major battle. It will be enough to play a battle with the Japanese with full firepower coverage.
Therefore, Hu Yizhou needs time to accumulate ammunition, technical equipment, and soldiers who can fight... and everything that needs to be accumulated.
In addition to metal resources such as copper and iron, Jiuzhai also has a certain source of resources to obtain in other things, and grain reserves are also sufficient to cope with the current population.
If the rifle production line and a bullet production line are handed over, the arsenal will reduce the number of workers by hundreds and save some food. As for how those workers handed over are doing, it is not something Hu Yizhou should consider.
Can the workers get such a large salary in Jiuzhai? Can the food be eaten with meat every meal? These are not problems that Hu Yizhou needs to solve...
Well, just give others a headache. Just do more ideological work!
So, hurry up and send out the rifle production line, and we can develop it with peace of mind.
In fact, Hu Yizhou still hopes to reach a deal with the Sichuan Army or the Jinsui Army. Even if he doesn’t make money, he will make money by just getting more resources. Hu Yizhou still knows the truth that he is empty-handed.
Hu Yizhou really hopes that Cui Geng can open a new material channel for trading, and it is even a good time. He just needs to transport the materials to the edge of the Yellow River, cross the Yellow River with a boat, and cross Zhongtiao Mountain, and then he can transport materials on the current territory without any obstacles.
With resources, even if Cui Geng has a way out to sell submachine guns, the arsenal can produce enough guns.
In terms of the troops, the second and third battalions had a total of 1,500 people, and the two guard companies and the special operations reconnaissance company had 618 people. In addition to the first new recruits, the artillery battalion, the logistics support battalion and the field hospital engineering company, the security regiment had a large number of people.
If the existing militias are regularized and all the militias in each village are added up, the number of people will be even greater.
If you take into account the elite barracks of Liu Gan, which has 1,029 people, then the number of troops that Jiuzhai can control will have to be calculated by more than 5,000.
However, the ones who are truly capable of combat are two infantry battalions, two guard companies, one special combat reconnaissance company and artillery battalion. Perhaps Liu Gan's battalion has not weak combat power, but it also takes time to train.
Hu Yizhou never forgot that Liu Gan's supplementary battalion is a battalion expanded by a company with few veterans. If you don't train well, your combat effectiveness may not be as good as the first battalion.
So, as soon as Hu Yizhou returned to Jiuzhai, he found Guo Junxu.
"Old Guo, do you know if my senior brother's camp in the south? The one with more than a thousand people?" Hu Yizhou asked.
"I know, what's wrong? We usually deal with each other a lot?" Guo Jinglie said.
"Well, you prepare a battalion equipment to send to the consignees! The rifle is made of the high imitation horse four rings made from our rifle production line, and the machine gun is a general-purpose machine gun."
"As for the equipment standard... the 12-person standard class, one squad, one light machine gun, two submachine guns; one platoon, one heavy machine gun, one heavy shotgun launcher, and two grenade launchers."
"Well, just give them this standard! Just give them the standard of 600 people. If there are too many, don't give them away!" Hu Yizhou said.
"Captain, are you?" Guo Junxu was puzzled in a company.
"Hehe, isn't their battalion commander my senior brother? I'll pull him over. In the future, the Japanese attacked Jiuzhai and they will be under our command!" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.
"Really?" Guo Junxu was shocked.
"Well, but this matter is a confidential incident and should not be made public. Just send it to the public. We can't suffer any losses!" Hu Yizhou was completely lying with his eyes open...
