In fact, the weapons made by the arsenal are not suitable for the current national conditions in a wide range of uses and cannot be equipped with a large number of equipment. On the contrary, weapons such as bolt-action rifles are more suitable for use by current troops.

In other words, the security regiment can provide a large number of bullets to be equipped with semi-automatic weapons of two battalions and three companies. For example, other troops are forgot, and they cannot be supplied at all.

Whether it is a grenade launcher or a body-barrel cannon with a larger caliber, it requires time and experience to accumulate, and even production equipment must keep up.

So after producing 20 qualified 37 cannons, Hu Yizhou asked Han Xiao to make "huhu cannons".

Although this Maxim's 37mm rapid-fire cannon is an old antique from World War I, if it can be made and equipped, it will definitely be a powerful tool to kill the enemy.

This cannon has the same shape as the Maxim heavy machine gun, and does not require manual recharge. They use canvas belts to supply ammunition. With a base, they can still achieve 360-degree shooting.

Strictly speaking, this thing is even more powerful than the later automatic grenade launchers, especially the infantry that deals with group charges, which is the harvester that harvests people's lives.

Well, the shells are consumed too quickly...

At this time, it was April 39, and the security regiment had not fought for a long time. Even the Hebei Militia Corps had not encountered any battles for a long time.

In Jiangjiadao Village, the houses that were originally bombed by Japanese bombers were rebuilt. However, in order to counter-sweep, these houses were not built as well as before, but as long as they could live in people.

But it is not the case. For example, those walls are still in a double-layer wall.

Here in Jiuzhai, 20 37 artillery pieces have been built and joined to the security regiment's equipment sequence. Among them, the second and third battalions have two gates, and the first battalion has only one gate.

The remaining ones, except for seven of them, were placed at various defense nodes in Jiuzhai, the other eight gates and 1,600 shells were traded to the Eighth Route Army by Hu Yizhou.

Hu Yizhou did not trade the 37th Cannon to the Central Army and the Jinsui Army because they did not lack this use, at least it was much better than the Eighth Route Army.

Correspondingly, those shotguns were also added to the security regiment's equipment sequence. Except for the special combat reconnaissance company, which was not equipped because of its special combat methods, the other companies had two shotguns installed in one company.

Because there has not been a long war, the security regiment's ammunition reserve has reached an astonishing number.

Except for the delay in production progress in winter, the production rate of 7.62mm is still at the level of 30,000 rounds in the middle of the Viagra rifle, 10,000 rounds per day, and 20,000 rounds per day in the other months.

Except for the training and the battles before and after the New Year, the rest were saved for emergencies.

Of course, Hu Yizhou is not a person who eats alone. After reserved a total of 2 million 7.92mm rifle bullets, he relaxed restrictions on the Eighth Route Army and could trade them for bullets.

This is amazing. The Eighth Route Army will trade a large number of bullets and equipment every month to various troops, so that the newly produced 7.92 bullets are almost never stored in the warehouse.

600,000 bullets a month were traded, and it seemed that there were many numbers, but compared with the nearly 300,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army, it was impossible to splash. In other words, the ammunition of the main groups could be slightly more abundant.

Well, now the Eighth Route Army's own arsenals have also been established everywhere. Some are specialized in making guns and some are specialized in bullets.

Hu Yizhou did not intend to expand the scale of the bullet production line of the security team, so he traded the bullet production line he later produced to the Eighth Route Army, and also sent some workers and students out.

Yes, since the Japanese had mastered the situation of Jiuzhai Arsenal, Hu Yizhou no longer continued to expand its scale, but began to divert it.

Eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and everyone knows the principle of cunning rabbits having three holes.

In fact, when things have developed to this point, the scale of Jiuzhai Arsenal cannot be expanded any further. No matter how big it is, once the Japanese soldiers are overwhelmed and even occupy Jiuzhai, the loss will be too great.

Time passed by, and it was April 10th in the blink of an eye. On that day, Hu Yizhou received a telegram, which was sent by Cui Geng, who had not appeared for a long time.

"My brother-in-law is coming. Do you have anything to bring to your parents-in-law?" Hu Yizhou asked Cui Yuepiao.

"My brother? How could he come?" Cui Yuepiao asked in surprise.

"I still want to know. It seems that my brother-in-law has a wide range of ways!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Actually... there is nothing to bring. Why don't we take a family photo to bring to parents? Don't you know how to wash photos?" Cui Yuepiao asked.

"Haha, that's fine! As the saying goes, the war is going to last for three months, and the letter from home is worth ten thousand yuan! You write another letter from home to your parents-in-law, and then send it with the photos!" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.

"Okay!" Cui Yuepiao agreed.

There is no hurry to write the letter. Now it’s time, Hu Yizhou quickly changed into a clean military uniform. Cui Yuepiao and Eryue also changed into clean new clothes for Xiaoshanzi and Xiaotingting, and washed the two children.

The boy from Xiaoshanzi doesn’t need to be dressed up specifically. Xiaoting is a girl. February even found a flower for Xiaoting to wear on her head.

A long stool was placed in the middle of the yard, and Hu Yizhou sat in the middle. February hugged Xiaoting on the left, Cui Yuepiao hugged Xiaoshan on the right, and the family looked at the camera.

"One...two...three...begin!" Su Laoliu, who was in charge of taking photos, shouted, Hu Yizhou and his two wives opened their eyes wide.

"Bang..." The spotlight of the old camera flashed, and a photo freezes...

In the afternoon, Hu Yizhou entered the dark room of the arsenal and began to wash photos. All the things used in this dark room were seized from Cixian, and now it is cheaper.

In order to get some good civil certificates for the people, the Japanese set up photo studios in various counties to take photos for the people. Of course, this is not free...

Just as Hu Yizhou and his family were taking photos, Cui Geng had already driven to Licheng with a convoy of three heavy trucks. Now that Wuhan is lost and traffic is blocked, Cui Geng can mobilize fewer and fewer vehicles.

Cui Geng's car was holding the materials needed by the arsenal, which was mobilized by the Military Control Commission. Cui Geng came this time to represent the Military Control Commission and Hu Yizhou to trade some general-purpose machine guns here.

In today's situation, there are too few places to buy machine guns. Although Mao Bear has aid, it is still not enough to see the huge number of troops.
