With sufficient raw materials, the monthly output is almost more than 20,000, which is close to the output of 30,000 bullets.
To be honest, this output is already very good. After all, how long has it been since Su Bei came to the arsenal? Almost half a month.
We have just set up a few production lines like this, and the output is quite good. Take the output of the M1 Garand rifle as an example, if we work hard.
One month's output may be able to reach 3,000 M1 Garand rifles. In this way, one month's output can be used to arm two ordinary regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
This is only when there are only six machine tools, if the leader later adds more machine tools to the arsenal.
So in the future, maybe the arsenal's monthly output of M1 Garand rifles can even be used to arm a brigade.
This kind of output may be barely adequate for other armies, but for the Eighth Route Army, it is quite astonishing.
You must know that up to now, the Eighth Route Army has only three formal divisions, namely the 115th Division, the 120th Division and the 129th Division.
Each division has two brigades, so there are six brigades in total, and each brigade has two regiments, so there are twelve regiments in total.
It is also the so-called main force regiment. Each regiment is fully equipped with 2,000 people, and its weapons and equipment are also the best among the entire Eighth Route Army.
If there are any good things, these regiments will be equipped first. Of course, this is only superficial, if only based on this configuration.
According to the output of the arsenal, if the commander gets a few more machine tools, it may only take half a year to arm the six brigades of the Eighth Route Army.
But this is only on the surface. In fact, the Eighth Route Army has more than just a few troops, like the so-called New Regiment.
The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are not included, just because the Eighth Route Army nominally belongs to the Central Army.
The Central Army only gave the Eighth Route Army the establishment of three divisions, so the twelve regiments of the Eighth Route Army were regular establishments in the Central Army.
As for the other New First Regiment, New Second Regiment, Independent Regiment, etc., they are all non-staff establishments. To put it simply, they are not recognized by the Central Army.
It's just that no one cares about this for a long time. As for the Eighth Route Army, they no longer care whether the Central Army admits it or not.
The two sides are almost at odds with each other. If it weren't for the little devil factor, perhaps the two sides would have gotten along in a different way now.
And it won't be long before the Eighth Route Army will launch the famous Hundred Regiment War, which is more than a hundred regiments, so the current output of the arsenal.
It needs to be further improved. If we want to truly achieve self-sufficiency in weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army, this output is completely insufficient.
............
In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this half-month period, the number of M1 Garand rifles in the arsenal had reached two thousand.
Logically speaking, they can only produce up to 1,500 pieces in half a month, but Su Bei didn't expect the five machine tools the chief gave them.
It was more advanced than he imagined. Only when it was put into production did he realize that the output of these five machine tools was not at all what Su Bei expected to produce twenty M1 Garand rifles a day.
Instead, twenty-three or four M1 Garand rifles can be produced in a day. It can only be said that Su Bei is really wrong about this.
As a result, the total daily output of these five advanced machine tools, plus the improved machine tool, is almost 130 M1 Garand rifles.
In addition, sometimes, the daily output will be a few more M1 Garand rifles, so within this half-month period.
The arsenal has produced a total of two thousand M1 Garand rifles. As for bullets, the output is about the same as Su Bei expected.
Nine hundred rounds of ammunition are produced in a day, and after half a month, the number is 13,500 rounds, which is average for each M1 Garand rifle.
Almost each M1 Garand rifle only has six or seven rounds of bullets. This number is completely insufficient, and regarding the raw materials for making bullets.
It is also gradually decreasing. If there is no subsequent replenishment, the raw materials for the bullets will be almost exhausted in more than half a month at most.
This immediately gave Su Bei a headache, because once the raw materials were gone, bullets could no longer be produced.
By then, it will be useless no matter how many M1 Garand rifles you have. Without bullets, these guns will be like fire sticks.
Just when Su Bei had a headache, the system's long-lost prompt sounded again.
"Ding~ The current predicament of the host has been detected, and the system has specially provided a solution to the host."
"In a week, there will be a train passing the Zhengtai Railway on the other side of the Little Devil. The Little Devil on this train only has a squadron of troops."
"The host only needs to let the Eighth Route Army hijack this train, and the host's current situation can be directly solved."
"Because this train contains ten tons of copper and various other raw materials. By taking this train, the host doesn't have to worry about raw materials."
Hearing this, Su Bei was very excited. Good guy, that's ten tons of copper. You know, one ton of copper can make about one or two hundred thousand rounds of bullets.
Then ten tons of copper are equivalent to one or two million rounds of bullets. In this way, in the past few months, Northern Jiangsu will not have to worry about the raw materials for bullets.
As for how many months later? The system mall would have been unlocked by then, and Su Bei must have produced more weapons and equipment through the system mall.
For example, various heavy machine guns, light machine guns, artillery, etc., once the Eighth Route Army is equipped, its combat effectiveness will skyrocket.
At this time, you can consider mining copper mines. As it is now, the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment are very poor and its combat effectiveness is not strong.
Even if the copper mine is mined, it may not be able to defend it, but it may not be possible until the Eighth Route Army discovers it a few months later.
After all, in the past few months, Su Bei has been able to operate well, let alone build out aircraft and tanks.
But at least the technical drawings of heavy machine guns, light machine guns, artillery, and howitzers can be produced, and then mass production can be achieved.
It can only be said that the little devil's train of supplies has directly solved Bei Subei's urgent need. Now what he has to do is to ask the chief to send troops to capture this train.
