Chapter 502 Shanxi Arsenal

"Yes, Chairman, all leaders, promise to complete the task..." The two men nodded quickly and replied.

"Well, in this case, it's getting late, so we should take a rest and reflect on the content of tonight's meeting. I think that tonight, I will be smiling in my dreams. Haha, I don't know how many of you seniors

Guys, is there anything else? If not, let's just break up!" The chairman continued...

Seeing several people shaking their heads with smiles on their faces, the chairman immediately announced the order to end the meeting...

After a night's rest, Commander Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan were still immersed in the excitement and joy of attending the *** Bureau meeting last night. However, the two excited people did not forget the Chairman's memory of last night.

The task assigned to them. After eating the simple breakfast that the guards had prepared, the two people came to the telecommunications room of the central station, preparing to borrow the central high-power radio station to contact the chief of staff in Taiyuan.

The detailed data of various materials in the reserve warehouse was sent as the contents of the telegram as a reference for the content of today's report.

While the two of them were waiting anxiously, the Central Telecommunications Room finally received a call back from Chief of Staff Li Qing in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Looking at the detailed list data just received in his hands, even Commander Liu Hua couldn't help but be impressed.

I was shocked by the variety of various types of supplies on the list and the huge amount of each item.

"Political Commissar, I really didn't expect that in less than two years, our strategic reserve would have accumulated so much ammunition. It is simply beyond my imagination. Especially the food and ammunition are enough for the entire Eighth Route Army.

It will take one to two years to build an army of one million people. The food problem is not bad. After all, the entire Shanxi Province is a huge grain-producing area. It is expected that there will be so much food. However, so much ammunition

Where did it come from? I'm very confused." After returning to his room and looking at the list in his hand, Liu Hua asked the political commissar in charge of logistics next to him in confusion.

"Commander, as the top commander of the Shanxi Military Region, you are busy fighting all day long. Of course you don't know these logistical matters. However, I roughly know a little. Because of the continuous fighting and the large number of seizures, each unit has nearly

The ammunition used in the past year has basically been captured. And our arsenal, after two consecutive years of expansion and development, to a certain extent, the output of the arsenal is no less than the scale of Yan Xishan Shipbuilding's Taiyuan arsenal. However,

, due to the lack of various raw materials, the arsenal did not produce a large number of various weapons. It focused its main energy, manpower, and material resources on the production of various bullets, mortar shells, 75 mountain guns, and field artillery shells...According to

My understanding is that the entire military factory has already prepared more than a dozen production lines for ammunition and artillery shells, and is now working overtime to stock up more ammunition in the reserve..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a proud look on his face.

….

"I was so busy that I even forgot about such an important thing as the development of the arsenal. I remember clearly that two years ago, the entire arsenal had less than four production lines, producing bullets, grenades and mortar shells respectively.

Now we can even produce shells for mountain artillery. Come on, political commissar, tell me what is the current daily output of our Shanxi military factory. In two years, we have stockpiled nearly 120 million rounds.

All kinds of bullets, and nearly one million rounds of artillery shells of various calibers... It’s simply unimaginable?" Liu Hua asked with an expectant look on his face.

"Commander, based on the calculation of the number of 20,000 rounds of ammunition that can be produced by a 1st-class ammunition production line working overtime every day, the 10-year-old ammunition production line of the arsenal can produce 200,000 rounds of ammunition every day. In two years, it will reach

Such a large scale is reasonable. As for artillery shells, the combined production lines can now produce five thousand rounds of artillery shells of various calibers per day. However, this is a hardship for the little devils in the entire North China region.

Because the production of so much ammunition requires a large amount of raw materials, the soldiers almost wiped out the entire railway line in North China..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan replied...

"It is not a long-term solution to just rely on the rails on the railway as raw materials. It seems that after we go back, we will build our own steelmaking plant. Fortunately, when we discussed business with the Americans last time, we purchased two sets of small ironmaking plants.

Various equipment and a set of steel-making plant equipment... After we return, as soon as the equipment arrives, we will set up our own steel-making plant..." Liu Hua said with certainty...

"Commander, this will all happen after we go back. I think our urgent need now is to complete the tasks assigned to us by the chairman and other leaders..." Luo Ronghuan said.

"Yes, let's finish the report to be handed over to the chairman in the evening first... Political Commissar, the two of us will split up immediately and prepare the materials together..." As they spoke, the two of them were in their room, surrounding the copy they had just received.

List, and began to write about the current situation of the Shanxi Military Region's strategic reserve, as well as suggestions for the future development of the strategic reserve...

Under the busy work of the two people, the day passed without realizing it. As the names of the two people were signed on the report, the sky outside the room had slowly darkened. Until this moment,

Only then did the two of them realize that they had been in the room for almost a full day, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch, and their stomachs started to ache...

"Commander, I really didn't expect that it would get dark so soon. I haven't eaten for a day, and my stomach has already started to ache. No, I must eat first, and then report to the chairman...

"After checking the report in his hand, political commissar Luo Ronghuan breathed a long sigh of relief, touched his stomach where he was having sex, and said with a smile.

"Me too, now my stomach has started to have sex..." As they spoke, the two people were about to leave the room to find something to eat. However, just when they stood up from their seats, there was a rapid knocking sound.

The sound of the door reached their ears. As the door was pushed open, Xiao Zhang, the security guard responsible for their safety and life, appeared at the door...

"Xiao Zhang, why are you so anxious? However, you came just in time. We haven't eaten for a day, and now our stomachs are feeling strong. Look, can you find something to eat for the two of us first?

No matter what food you eat, as long as it can fill your stomach, we still have to go to see the chairman, so the sooner the better..." Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Reporting to the two chiefs, the chairman is looking for you. The chairman knows that you two have not eaten all day, so he has specially prepared a meal and is waiting for you to go. In addition, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief are both at the chairman's home.

, Now we are waiting for the two leaders..." Faced with Liu Hua's request, guard Xiao Zhang shook his head in embarrassment and said.

"What, the chairman invited us to dinner, as well as Vice Chairman Zhou and Boss Zhu... Political Commissar, I really didn't expect that we are so proud that we have three leaders waiting for the two of us. Quick, get the report

, we will go right away, but we can’t let the three chiefs wait too anxiously..." Liu Hua reacted immediately and said anxiously...

In this way, the two people, led by the guard Xiao Zhang, almost jogged all the way, running as fast as they could to the small courtyard where the chairman's house was. Finally, a few minutes later, the two stood panting.

At the door. The Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the Commander-in-Chief were sitting around a table filled with various dishes, talking and laughing happily, and bursts of hearty laughter from time to time. It was obvious that at this moment

, several people were in a very happy mood….

"Report to all chiefs, Liu Hua, commander of the *** Division, and Luo Ronghuan, political commissar, have been ordered to report..." A loud report quickly reached the ears of three people from the door. For a moment, the three chiefs, who were chatting and laughing, immediately

He turned his head and focused all his eyes on Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan...

"Haha, our two comrades Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan are here, come in quickly. I heard from the guard Xiao Zhang that you were busy writing reports today and locked yourself in the room all day without even eating lunch.

, we were hurriedly called over by some old guys. Come on, your stomach must be aching now, come in and have something to eat first..." the chairman said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Chairman, heads. This is the report completed by the political commissar and I. Please read it..." Liu Hua walked into the room, stood in front of the chairman, handed the report to the chairman and said...

"Okay, good job. We three old guys will read the report first. You two must be hungry. Eat something first. Later, we have important things to ask you, so hurry up and fill your stomach..." Chairman

Taking the report handed over by Liu Hua, without any hesitation, he ordered loudly in a commanding tone...

"Yes, Chairman..." In the Chairman's order, the two of them were still a little restrained. However, faced with the temptation of delicious food and their constantly growing stomachs, they no longer had any hesitation and took it immediately.

I picked up a steamed bun and started eating the steaming dishes on the table. Within a few minutes, I had already eaten several steamed buns...

The Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief sat together and carefully read the report that Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan had just written. As the three people slowly delved into the contents of the telegram,

Their brows sometimes frowned, sometimes relaxed, and even worse, when they encountered something important, they would discuss it in a low voice.

Ten minutes later, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan had already had their fill of wine and food, and stood motionless in front of the three leaders. At the same time, the three presidents also slowly put down the telegrams in their hands, but from then on

On the expressions on their faces, Liu Hua saw a look of shock and excitement. In just a moment, the expressions of the three people were replaced by seriousness...

"Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Luo Ronghuan, you must answer truthfully what I am asking you now. Are all the contents written in the report true?" The chairman's eyes were fixed on Liu Hua's face stuck in front of him.

eyes, and then asked.

"Yes, Chairman, heads, there is no falsehood in the report. It is all true. I guarantee with my party spirit that all the contents are true..." Faced with the chairman's inquiry, Liu Hua answered affirmatively without any hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, political commissar Luo Ronghuan also answered with an affirmative look.

"According to the report, the various ammunition stockpiled in the strategic reserve are all produced by the arsenal in the past two years. I can't believe how big your arsenal has grown now. Comrade Liu Hua, you

Can you give us a detailed report on the current specific scale of the arsenal? You must know that this arsenal may be the first real arsenal of our army to a certain extent, and we have to pay attention to it," Vice Chairman Zhou said.

.

"Report to Vice Chairman Zhou. The political commissar knows more about this matter than I do. Let the political commissar give you a detailed report. If there are any questions, I will add them..." Liu Hua replied.

"Reporting to the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, the entire arsenal currently includes ten production lines for various bullets, four artillery shell production lines, and three grenade production lines. In addition, there are two days of rifle production lines and one machine gun production line. At the same time, the arsenal is equipped with gunpowder

There is one factory and one ironmaking plant. However, due to the lack of equipment, the entire ironmaking plant can only rely on local methods to make iron. Not only is the output low, but the quality of the iron is also very poor. It can only be used to produce various grenades and landmines.

." Political commissar Luo Ronghuan, in front of everyone's shocked eyes, answered in detail...

"So many production lines, did I hear you correctly...Comrade Luo Ronghuan, the arsenal has so many production lines, how is the output of the arsenal, can it guarantee the consumption of ammunition for the troops..." The commander-in-chief was shocked and quickly asked.

road.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that due to the lack of various raw materials, the three weapons production lines are almost at a standstill. However, the production lines of various ammunition are working overtime as required. According to the output of each production line of 20,000 rounds of ammunition, currently

It can reach a daily production of 200,000 rounds of various bullets and 5,000 rounds of various artillery shells..." Luo Ronghuan continued...

"Okay, for so many years, we have been looking forward to our army having a real arsenal. I never thought that now this wish has come true. Enlai, boss, we already have our own arsenal..." The chairman said

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said to the two partners beside him with a look of relief.

"Yes, our Eighth Route Army finally has its own arsenal, and it is a very large one. Now, our Eighth Route Army's weapons and ammunition no longer need to be restricted by others. However, there are too few raw materials.

Otherwise, we can even produce our own rifles and machine guns..." Vice Chairman Zhou replied...

"Well, we can solve the lack of raw materials slowly. As long as we have the equipment, other problems will not be difficult for our *** people. In addition, I believe that from the perspective of our *** division commander Liu Hua, he must have already

I'm thinking of ways to solve the current difficulties encountered by the arsenal..." the chairman replied with a smile on his face. He focused his eyes on Liu Hua in front of him...

"Chairman of the report, we are indeed looking for ways to solve the current difficulties encountered by the arsenal. First of all, I have ordered two sets of advanced iron-making equipment and one set of steel-making equipment in the United States through the U.S. Embassy. As long as these

Once the equipment can be transported to Shanxi, we can immediately set up iron and steel plants. And by that time, our military factories will have sufficient raw materials to produce various weapons..." in the chairman's speech

Under his gaze, Liu Hua immediately replied.

"Sure enough, my guess was not wrong. Our Commander Liu Hua has already made sufficient preparations... I believe that when all the iron and steel plants are picked up, the Shanxi Arsenal will be able to produce a steady stream of weapons and ammunition.

Continuously transport them to various units on the front line. From now on, our Eighth Route Army troops will no longer have to worry about ammunition..." the chairman said with confidence.

"Comrade Liu Hua, although the steel plant can solve the supply problem of raw materials after it is established, where will we get so much iron ore? As far as I know, in addition to a large number of coal resources in North China,

Basically, no iron ore has been found. Without iron ore, the steel plant has no production raw materials..." Vice Chairman Zhou asked...

"Yes, without iron ore, iron plants and steel plants would just become decorations..." the commander-in-chief also discovered the problem and said.

"Dear heads, although there is no iron ore in North China, the Ma'anshan area, less than a hundred kilometers away from Tianjin, has rich iron ore resources. As long as we can occupy the Ma'anshan area, then the iron ore resources there will be

It will be continuously transported to North China to support the construction of the entire North China region..." Liu Hua replied confidently.

"Ma'anshan... Northeast Ma'anshan... Old guys, after all, we are still talking about the Northeast. Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan happen to be here today, so we will solve some problems in front of them. For those problems that cannot be solved,

We can also ask the two top commanders of the Shanxi Military Region..." After hearing the words Ma Anshan, the chairman shook his head speechlessly and said with a smile to the two partners beside him.

"Ma'anshan, it seems that no matter what the considerations are, we must send troops to the Northeast in the shortest possible time. However, some problems must be solved by the two of them. Today we are at ***'s house,

Solve all the problems that need to be solved..." The commander-in-chief slowly put away the smile on his face and said with a serious face.
