Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief smiled and suggested, "Comrade Yunfei, look at us riding a horse for a whole morning. It's almost noon now. Let's take a break first, finish lunch, and have a good look."

When Zhang Yunfei looked at the watch, it was really, time flies so fast that it was about to 12 o'clock. So Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Peng, let's rest first, the soldiers may be tired too."

After saying that, Zhang Yunfei jumped off the horse and, under the leadership of President Peng, walked towards the houses not far away.

These houses are mainly office and living houses. There are nearly a thousand Eighth Route Army comrades in the entire Huangyadong Arsenal. Outside the arsenal, there are also soldiers from this battalion stationed, which is mainly responsible for the safety of the arsenal.

The technicians and production workers of Huangyadong Arsenal were all Eighth Route Army soldiers, and everyone was wearing the Eighth Route Army's gray cloth uniforms. These houses were either office buildings or everyone's dormitories.

Due to the importance of concealment, these houses are relatively low, with only one floor. There are many branches piled up on the roof. In addition to the tall trees on both sides of the house, it is difficult for the Japanese to find them in the air. This is an important reason why the Huangya Cave Arsenal has been established for almost two years and has not been discovered by Japanese reconnaissance aircraft.

Zhang Yunfei and others, after a short rest, had a simple lunch. At around 2 pm, under the leadership of the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhang Yunfei began to visit the Huangyadong Arsenal with great enthusiasm.

As soon as you walk into this huge cave, there are many Eighth Route Army soldiers busy there. This natural cave has obviously been manually repaired and the ground has been leveled. There are some small equipment in the large cave.

This Huangya Cave Arsenal is divided into several workshops. The first workshop into the cave is a repair workshop. These damaged guns are piled on the ground. Zhang Yunfei took a look at them casually. These guns are all relatively worn things, and the soldiers are seriously repairing them.

The person in charge of Huangyadong Arsenal introduced: "Dear leaders, we mainly repair various firearms in this workshop. Our repair methods basically rely on fitter repairs. Due to limited conditions, some parts are mainly based on manual skills."

While listening to the explanation of the person in charge, Zhang Yunfei looked at the only few equipment here, only a few old small drill presses and lathes. It is really not easy to repair these guns with these small equipment and a few files.

Continue to walk inside, the second workshop is the gun production workshop. It mainly produces formal rifles in the counterfeit production. The equipment in this workshop is slightly more, most of the equipment is relatively worn, with only two or three equipment, which looks relatively new.

Zhang Yunfei looked at these relatively new equipment and immediately recognized them. These equipment were his former support for the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, and the big words "Datong Machinery Equipment Factory" printed on the equipment are clearly visible.

There are hundreds of soldiers in this workshop, some are carefully processing parts on the guns, several machines are also making buzzing sounds, and some are carefully assembling the guns on the platform on one side, and several guns are almost assembled and formed.

Walking here, the head of the arsenal proudly introduced: "Chiefs, this is one of our equipment production workshops. Now, every month, we have to produce hundreds of rifles."

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief next to him also showed joy. Obviously, the deputy commander-in-chief was very satisfied with the output. Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone's expressions and smiled slightly.

In Zhang Yunfei's mind, such output is too small. More than 100 rifles per month are really too few for the Eighth Route Army, which is nearly 300,000.

For example, the Huanglongxia Arsenal of the 36th Army, the production of AK-47 rifles per month has exceeded 10,000. In addition, the Huanglongxia Arsenal also produces a large number of bullets, shells and a lot of mortars and other weapons.

Compared with its own Huangyadong Arsenal, the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal is really too small. It is really not easy for the Eighth Route Army. It is very happy to produce more than 100 rifles a month.

Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone and sighed in his heart, but there was still a faint smile on his face. Zhang Yunfei could not hurt everyone's mood and confidence.

Going further inside, there is the bullet reloading workshop. This workshop only needs to reload bullets and produce some "border grenades" and there are also many empty shells piled up in one corner of the workshop, and some loaded bullets are wrapped in oil paper and loaded into the ammunition box.

Zhang Yunfei looked at several workshops for more than an hour and basically learned about the situation of the Eighth Route Army Huangya Cave Arsenal. After coming out of the cave, Zhang Yunfei felt full of emotion and admired these Eighth Route Army soldiers who could still produce these things under such harsh conditions under such difficult conditions.

Back at the lounge outside the cave, Zhang Yunfei had just sat down, and the deputy commander-in-chief said happily: "Comrade Yunfei, how is our arsenal? Do you think it's okay?"

The deputy commander-in-chief was very satisfied with this arsenal, so when asked about Zhang Yunfei, he still had a little pride in his words. After asking, the deputy commander-in-chief looked at Zhang Yunfei with a smile.

When Zhang Yunfei saw the deputy commander-in-chief ask, he thought for a while and said truthfully: "President Peng, you can build such an arsenal under such difficult conditions. I think it is very difficult. Although the output is a bit small, I personally think it is still very good."

After hearing Zhang Yunfei's praise, the deputy commander-in-chief also said happily: "Comrade Yunfei, we also want to thank you for supporting several of our equipment. These equipment played a great role in the production process of our weapons and equipment."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly and nodded slightly, "Mr. Peng, there are only a few equipment, nothing. I kept thinking in my heart that we still have too little support for your arsenal, which has led to the output of your arsenal still not being able to increase, and the output is so small."

Seeing Zhang Yunfei say this, the deputy commander-in-chief immediately said gratefully: "Comrade Yunfei, you have enough support to me. Our Eighth Route Army is very grateful. As for the issue of our arsenal, I think the monthly output of more than 100 rifles is already a lot."

Seeing that the deputy commander-in-chief was satisfied with the output of more than 100 rifles per month, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "Mr. Peng, what would happen if your Huangyadong Arsenal could produce thousands of guns and millions of bullets per month?"

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief was stunned and immediately understood what Zhang Yunfei meant, but he still asked in disbelief: "Comrade Yunfei, are you saying?"

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Peng, there are so many ordinary people in our motherland who are still breathing under the Japanese butcher's knife. The task on your shoulders is still very heavy. We must drive Japanese Japanese out of China as soon as possible, so developing troops will be our top priority in the past one or two years.

But I just looked at your arsenal. The scale is still too small to meet the needs of the development of the troops. I am going to help you expand the Huangyadong arsenal and increase the output of this arsenal to a scale of thousands of guns and millions of bullets per month."

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief looked a little excited, and the person in charge of the Huangyadong Arsenal next to him was obviously not as determined as the deputy commander-in-chief. After hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, his face was flushed and his body trembled slightly.

Zhang Yunfei said this, in fact, it was better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish and help the Eighth Route Army build a large-scale arsenal, which is much better than supporting some weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army every month.

Zhang Yunfei had this plan a few months ago. Zhang Yunfei was preparing to support the expansion of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, and has already completed more than half of the manufacturing of the Datong Machinery Equipment Factory. Zhang Yunfei also thought about what kind of weapons to produce after the expansion of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal after the expansion.

Zhang Yunfei was preparing to let the Eighth Route Army Arsenal produce Mauser 98k rifles, because some of the Jews in Datong were in Germany, some of them were technicians or experts in this area, and several Jews also brought several Mauser 98k rifles native to Germany.

Moreover, in China, Mauser rifles have been imitated before, such as Hanyang and Zhongzheng rifles. In this way, bullets can be used for both Mauser 98k rifles, Hanyang or Zhongzheng rifles. In the future, if you have the opportunity, Zhang Yunfei is also preparing to help Huangyadong Arsenal launch the machine gun production line.

Seeing that the deputy commander-in-chief was a little excited, Zhang Yunfei said calmly: "President Peng, I am going to produce the Mauser 98k rifle in the newly expanded Huangyadong Arsenal. Our base has German Jewish experts in this area. Our base is also working hard to manufacture the machinery and equipment for production. At present, most of the equipment has been manufactured.

According to my plan, after the expansion of Huangyadong Arsenal, the monthly production of Mauser 98k rifles will reach about 5,000, with millions of bullets. If the raw materials used for producing guns are shipped from our base area in real time every month."

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief stood up, held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly, and thanked him excitedly: "Comrade Yunfei, on behalf of all the Eighth Route Army soldiers, I thank you."

Next to it, the person in charge of Huangyadong Arsenal saw that the expansion arsenal would produce such a large output, and the production of the Mauser 98k rifle was actually the Mauser 98k rifle. You should know that the current German team also uses the Mauser 98k rifle.

Next, Zhang Yunfei began to tell his plans one by one. When he heard the happy moment, the deputy commander-in-chief applauded repeatedly, and the two of them happily talked for an hour in the lounge.

When Zhang Yunfei and the deputy commander agreed to all matters about the expansion of the Huangyadong Arsenal, an Eighth Route Army came in anxiously and reported: "Chief, outside our Arsenal, less than 4 kilometers away from the intersection of the canyon, a brigade of Japanese troops suddenly appeared, and there was probably a brigade."
