At the same time, after Li Yunlong's side had just finished testing, the headquarters agency on the other side came over.
We also started testing these reloaded bullets, and when the tests were almost done.
The leader looked expectantly at the soldiers responsible for the test and asked.
"How was it? What were the test results?"
When several test soldiers heard this, they immediately answered truthfully.
"Reporting to the chief, after testing by several of us, we found that there is no difference between this reloaded bullet and the original bullet."
"Whether it is range, accuracy or power, there is no difference between the two sides. If we hadn't known it in advance, we wouldn't have believed it was a reloaded bullet."
This test result made the chief very satisfied and he nodded in praise.
"Okay, okay! I didn't expect that this major difficulty that has been plaguing our Eighth Route Army would be solved so quickly by Comrade Xiao Su."
In response, the chief of staff on the side also echoed.
"Yes, the issue of bullets has always been a concern of our Eighth Route Army. Now Comrade Xiao Su has adopted a brand new processing method."
"Making the performance of the reloaded bullets almost the same as the original bullets will greatly increase the bullet production of our Eighth Route Army."
At this time, the commander of the 129th Division also agreed.
"Indeed, our Eighth Route Army may be short of raw materials for making bullets, but we are not in short supply of the shells of these bullets."
"Unfortunately, this brand-new reloading bullet technology is only applicable to M1 Garand bullets. If it can be used on 38-type bullets."
"It would be of great significance to keep the performance of the reloaded bullets of the Sanba Dagai consistent with the original bullets."
As soon as these words came out, several people immediately started to ponder, and even the chief began to think.
After all, what the division commander said was quite reasonable, even though the M1 Garand rifle produced by their Eighth Route Army was stronger than the 38 Gai of the Little Japs.
However, it is still in its infancy, and the output cannot keep up. It will be difficult to equip all the Eighth Route Army units in a short period of time.
Take the current situation as an example, let alone those units of the Eighth Route Army that are no longer being organized, even those main force regiments that are being organized.
They have not yet achieved all the equipment. So far, there are almost four main groups, close to five.
All are equipped with M1 Garand rifles. At this rate, we want all the main regiments to be equipped with M1 Garand rifles.
That is to say, it will take more than a month to form the twelve main regiments. As for the troops that are not organized, there will be even more.
There are many new regiments, new second regiments and independent regiments in each brigade. All added up, there are at least dozens.
Troops like these do not have numbers in the Central Army, which are so-called troops that are not organized.
............
Because the Central Army only gave the Eighth Route Army the regular establishment of three divisions, which were broken down into six brigades and twelve regiments.
Twelve regiments like these are organized in the Central Army, and they are the so-called main regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
Now even these main regiments are not all equipped with M1 Garand rifles, let alone the other new regiments, the new second regiment, etc.
Therefore, among these extra-staff troops, Sanba Dagai and Hanyang Zao are still the main ones.
Only when all main regiments are equipped with M1 Garand rifles will these extra-staff units be considered.
Of course, Li Yunlong's independent regiment is an exception. He can be regarded as the first group of troops to be equipped with M1 Garand rifles.
Taken together, there are only a handful of troops in the Eighth Route Army equipped with M1 Garand rifles.
More than half of the troops are currently using Hanyang-made and 38-inch Gaizi.
These two weapons are the most widely used in the Eighth Route Army, and the daily bullet consumption can be said to be an astronomical figure.
In the opinion of the commander of the 120th Division, if Northern Jiangsu can come up with a brand new reloading bullet reprocessing technology.
The goal is to reprocess the bullets made in Hanyang and the 38-gauge bullets.
The resulting reloaded bullets are indistinguishable from the original bullets, just like the current M1 Garand bullets.
If this step is achieved, it is no exaggeration to say that the Eighth Route Army's self-sufficiency in bullets has been satisfied to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, a flash of emotion flashed in the eyes of several people present, and even the chief felt that this matter seemed feasible.
But as soon as this idea came up, the chief dismissed it. The chief shook his head and said.
"Your idea is very good, but there is still something wrong. Comrade Xiao Su is currently thinking about more advanced weapons. It is not appropriate to distract him at this time."
"Furthermore, even though the M1 Garand rifle is currently equipped with only a small number of troops, the production is increasing every day."
"When I was talking to Comrade Xiao Su a few days ago, we talked about this production issue. Do you know what the current production volume of M1 Garand rifles in our arsenal is?"
"Chief, we really don't know this yet."
Several people shook their heads. Indeed, only the top brass and chiefs in the arsenal knew the specific production volume of the M1 Garand rifle.
This senior management specifically refers to the factory director in Subei and Wang Ming, the deputy director, as well as other workers.
They only know a rough idea, but they have no way of knowing what the specific output is, not just them.
Even the few people present were unaware of it, because this matter was not within their scope of responsibility, so they did not pay special attention to it.
Seeing everyone's confused looks, the leader also smiled slightly and then continued to speak.
"Now the output of M1 Garand in our arsenal has reached 500 pieces a day, which has increased from 10 pieces a day at the beginning to 500 pieces a day now."
"It only took a month and a half. Judging from the current output, according to this output, our arsenal can produce 15,000 M1 Garand rifles in a month."
"Everyone, think about what this concept is? Based on the main force regiment's full strength of 2,000 people, this month's output can arm seven main force groups."
"This is just the current production. As time goes by, this production will increase. If this continues, it won't be long."
"Our Eighth Route Army troops will all be equipped with M1 Garand rifles, so there is no need to worry about those Hanyang-made and 38-gauge bullets."
