Xia Fei's army did have some light weapons, but they had been fighting the Japanese for the past few days, so they basically did not have much time to rest. The soldiers were all exhausted, so Xia Fei could only let the Japanese go.
There was no need to pursue a cornered enemy. Even though he had the map in hand, there was still a chance that he might fail miserably in the gutter. For the sake of caution, Xia Fei did not need to chase after the enemy.
His current goal was to defend Ling Luo Town as his base camp. As long as there was an arsenal here, he could make any kind of weapon.
"Blind Xu!"
"Yes, Boss. Please give me your orders."
"Pass on my order. All personnel are not allowed to pursue the Japanese. Quickly clean up the spoils of war on the battlefield and pay attention to safety.”
"Yes."
By the time Blind Xu had given his orders, Xia Fei had already arrived at that heartbreaking place.
"My Type 97 150mm mortar, it's gone, it's gone, boohoo.”
Xia Fei arrived at the spot where his sniper rifle had destroyed the mortar shell. It was charred black, and the air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Eh, this is?"
Suddenly, Xia Fei seemed to have noticed something and quickly came over to take a look. A Type 97 150mm mortar shell was lying under the bloody bodies of the Japanese.
Xia Fei was overjoyed. As long as he had a sample, he could produce a weapon.
The Japanese were probably at the edge of the explosion zone and were preparing to release their artillery shells, but when Xia Fei's sniper rifle had blasted this area, the Japanese had subconsciously used their bodies to protect the mortar frame and artillery shells.
The Japanese would usually collect the corpses of their own soldiers, but with Xia Fei, the sniper god, around, he did not care about the so-called no-fire rule. There was no treaty with the Japanese. Basically, anyone who came would die, so the collection of corpses had never been successful.
Some of the shells that hadn't been blown up and the mortars that could be repaired were taken away by the Japanese at the risk of their lives. Only this one was covered by the corpses of the Japanese.
Awesome! With this Type 97 150mm Medium Mortar, he would have the capital to attack anyone.
Xia Fei brought the mortar back to the arsenal and went to the breakdown table that resembled a bar counter, placing the cannon on it.
Perhaps it was due to the dead bodies or the explosion, but the gun carriage was a little damaged and was not in perfect condition, so Xia Fei was not sure if the factory could produce a good one.
"Ding! System Message: The Munitions Factory has detected that this weapon is damaged.”
No way, what he said came true?
Fortunately, the system notification had not finished speaking.
"Ding! System Message: The Munitions Factory is repairing the original product for you. It will cost 50 Exchange Points. Do you want to repair it?”
Can be repaired? That's good, 50 it is. If he could get such a heavy firepower mortar, it would be better than anything else.
"Repair!"
"Ding, congratulations, the repair of the Type 97 150mm mortar has been completed. Would the host like to choose to manufacture it?”
"Yes, sir!"
Xia Fei pressed down the numbers on the counter and deducted the exchange points he had just earned.
This Type 97 150mm mortar frame could be produced at six exchange points, so the price was still acceptable. The cannonballs were also relatively expensive. Five cannonballs actually cost two exchange points.
After a war, he had used up a lot of ammunition, saving space in the crowded military warehouse. That was why Xia Fei was able to produce the Type 97 150mm Medium Mortar.
However, there were still some regrets. The Type 97 90mm light mortar that was convenient for the troops to move around, also known as the small steel cannon, Xia Fei could not find a single one that was in good condition, much less a shell of the same caliber.
After thinking about it carefully, Xia Fei realized that he had walked into the wrong path.
The weapons produced by his arsenal were indeed good, but they were not suitable for the army now because the army needed too many weapons.
His current military warehouse was too small and could only produce a limited number of weapons, so Xia Fei gritted his teeth and decided that the arsenal was only left with long ammo.
The arsenal was only so big. The number of weapons produced by the arsenal was limited by the exchange value and the arsenal's capacity. However, the seized weapons did not occupy the arsenal's capacity. Even if they were all stuffed into the arsenal, it would not be counted as its capacity.
Based on this relationship, Xia Fei considered the fact that ammunition was the most important thing when the war was getting more intense. Guns and whatnot were still better because the losses were not that severe.
Moreover, once a war broke out, what was the thing that they lacked the most? Of course, it was ammunition. Without ammunition, what was the point of fighting?
Xia Fei's military warehouse had another advantage, which was that he could carry bullets with him, making it very convenient for him to fight the Japanese.
As for weapons, they could just rob the Japanese. If the bandits wanted anything, they could just rob them!
A few days had passed since the Japanese were repelled, and no one had come to harass them. Xia Fei guessed that the Japanese were probably fighting with the national army in the city of Wu Han. According to his understanding of modern history, the National Army had already begun to retreat to Chongqing. The Japanese were also unable to supply supplies due to the long battle line. Moreover, there were many mountains in Chongqing, so they did not continue to chase after the Chinese army.
Although the Japanese did not continue to attack, the planes were still sent out to bomb many times. This pitied the people of Chongqing. It was said that they had to avoid the air strikes and caused a huge accident.
"Sigh, I still don't have enough strength. If I had enough manpower and guns, with the ability of the arsenal to produce ammunition, no matter how many Japanese there are, I would have made them bald!”Xia Fei thought to himself.
In the following days, Ling Luo Town returned to its daily life without the harassment of the Japanese. First, he gave a speech to his brothers who had left, engraved their names on the monument of heroes, and gave them a funeral that belonged to heroes.
After settling all these matters, Xia Fei went around recruiting experts who could make guns. Even though he had his own arsenal, there were restrictions on the production of these things, so it was still very useful to develop a firearms dealer.
He did not force these people to join his army, which was not conducive to the improvement of their weapon-making ability. That was why Xia Fei had his team form a purely strategic partnership with them. They could benefit from it, and once they did, they would throw themselves into it.
With the drive of profit, there would be motivation, which would allow Xia Fei's Ling Luo Town to develop in a positive manner.
