One of the Japanese aerial units was lost in Yanzhou!
When this news spread, the Japanese army headquarters were in an uproar, the mountain city was in an uproar, and the entire world was in an uproar.
Everyone's attention was focused on Yanzhou. Whether it was the Wei Nation or Shancheng, even the big brothers of the Su Nation, the Americans, the British and French powers, the Germans, and so on, all had to look at Yanzhou in a different light.
What followed was the prying of the Eighth Route Army's secret weapons and curiosity about Yanzhou!
When Yamamoto Fukuda's flying group returned in a sorry state, the elite spies of the Wei Nation's Intelligence Department appeared on the way to Yanzhou the next day.
At the same time, the Red Room agents of the National Military Department were not to be outdone and quickly took action.
Not only were they curious about the secret weapon of the Eighth Route Army, but they were also curious about the various changes in Yanzhou.
He wouldn't know if he didn't look, but he was shocked when he saw it!
Who would have thought that Yanzhou, which was so remote and backward and so poor that it could not even afford to eat, would not only have a machine production line in just half a year, but even a steel mill had been built?
Moreover, the intelligence personnel who had infiltrated every nook and cranny had also discovered that a small amount of newly manufactured firearms, ammunition, and explosives had flowed out of Yanzhou's military factories.
All of this indicated that Yanzhou had truly undergone a major change. Although this change was not particularly eye-catching, they had to treat it with caution.
The Japanese Air Force had become obedient, but the army had made major adjustments. The Japanese, who had not taken the Eighth Route Army seriously, suddenly divided a portion of their military strength to attack Shaanxi, putting great pressure on the soldiers at the front line.
Fortunately, without the threat of the Japanese planes, the Eighth Route Army's steelworks and refineries no longer needed to be carefully concealed and were operating at full capacity.
At the same time, several factories in Yanzhou had also been merged and adjusted.
Chen Qi selected more than 3,000 technicians from the 18 small-scale arsenals in Yanzhou and made adjustments based on the Phoenix Mountain arsenals.
He abandoned the original production model of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal and began to build a professional and effective production team. He also implemented militarized management and turned Phoenix Mountain into a military base.
The headquarters was very concerned about this. They specially transferred a regiment of troops from the front line to set up military defenses with Wanhua Mountain as the center and build a military construction site on the spot.
With enough steel, Chen Qi led his men to frantically manufacture engines, weapons production lines, and rocket launchers.
In addition, Chen Qi abandoned the 38th rifle he had originally manufactured and began to produce a new type of firearm. It was a weapon that would last forever in the future, the AK-47 assault rifle!
The AK-47 assault rifle was an automatic rifle designed by the firearms designer of the Soviet Union, Mihail Kalashnikov.
" AK " was the initial-letter of the Kalashnikov automatic rifle, and " 47 " meant " manufactured in 1947." This was the first generation of assault rifles in the Soviet Union. It was an automatic rifle with a magazine, not a manual rifle that was loaded with bullets.
Compared to the rifles of the Second World War, the AK-47 was an assault rifle. It had a small body and a short range, suitable for close-range combat. He used the principle of air-guided auto-firing. The air duct was located above the gun barrel, and the action of the gun was driven by the piston-driven action. The gun was locked in a rotating manner.
Why did Chen Qi call the AK47 a big killer weapon?
This was because the AK47 assault rifle was the single weapon that killed the most people in the world. Since its birth in 1947, it had killed millions of people in the 50 - 60 years of the 21st century, and this number was constantly breaking records by 250,000 per year.
This was a weapon that was loved by most soldiers, and it was also the weapon with the highest appearance rate in movies and television. In the Middle East and other places, without an AK47, you would be embarrassed to call yourself a terrorist.
In addition, the AK47 was very easy to operate. In the 21st century Middle East battlefield, a seven or eight-year-old child could kill people crazily with it.
Other than the AK-47, Chen Qi also improved the production of bullets. He changed the copper bullets used in the original production to steel bullets. Only the bullets were plated with copper, and the rest were replaced with steel.
It was undeniable that steel bullets and copper bullets had huge shortcomings, such as the wear and tear on the barrel, the accuracy of shooting, and the fact that the shell could not be reused.
However, even in the 21st century, the Dragon Country was still one of the few countries in the world that used steel bullets. The reason was that the Dragon Country's copper reserves were too small.
This reason was even more applicable in Yanzhou.
The reason why the Eighth Route Army demanded that the bullet shells must be recycled and that copper coins and copper products must be collected was because of the scarcity of copper ore. The arsenal did not have enough copper ore to make bullets.
According to Chen Qi's budget, the newly built steel plant currently had two steel-making furnaces. It could produce about 15 tons of steel per month. Later on, he could build a few more steel-making furnaces, and this output could be increased.
This number was not small. In fact, this number was already very impressive. If Chen Qi had not optimized the steel mill, it would already be good if the two furnaces could produce ten tons of steel a month.
Fifteen tons of steel, which was 30,000 catties of steel, could be used to make 1,500 AK47s and 200,000 steel bullets.
In addition to the steel rails and other steel products sent by the army, the Phoenix Mountain Arsenal could produce 1,000 AK47s, 800,000 bullets, 200 rocket launchers, 3,000 rockets, and a number of grenades.
Of course, this was not the limit of the Munitions Factory. The reason for this was because of the limitations of raw materials such as steel. If there were enough raw materials, this number could at least double.
This was the power of machines and production lines!
Yanzhou, as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, was also the largest base of the Eighth Route Army. The army and the people were one, and it had long been tightly managed.
However, whether it was the Wei Nation's Intelligence Bureau or the National Army's Central Bureau of Integration, their infiltration of the Yanzhou Revolutionary Base had never stopped.
At the beginning of May, the Eighth Route Army garrison on Phoenix Mountain was fully armed with the new AK47 assault rifles and rocket launchers.
They had received orders from the headquarters to start a bandit sweep operation with Yanzhou as the center. With a thunderous momentum, they had cleared out all the bandits, puppet troops, spies, and other spies in Shaanxi, demonstrating the powerful combat strength of our army.
After that, he organized the army and civilians to repair the roads and connect the entire base area.
Boxes of weapons and ammunition were continuously sent to the front line, greatly relieving the pressure on the soldiers at the front line.
