It also depends on the quality. The twenty DP light machine guns are far from comparable to the twenty crooked light machine guns of the Little Devil.
The former is a light machine gun with the strongest firepower, while the latter is a light machine gun with the worst overall performance, and is known as the king of bad guns.
The two sides are not on the same level at all. In terms of firepower, twenty DP light machine guns are at least equivalent to the firepower of fifty or sixty crooked light machine guns.
Su Bei's idea is that in the early stage when production has not yet increased, an ordinary regiment will be equipped with almost twenty DP light machine guns.
A main force group is equipped with thirty or forty DP light machine guns. What we have to do now is to use the DP light machine guns in a short time.
The equipment will be distributed to various units of the Eighth Route Army. After all units are equipped with DP light machine guns, more DP light machine guns will be manufactured later.
It is possible to adjust the DP light machine gun configuration of each regiment of the Eighth Route Army upwards. To put it simply, it is to first do it in the shortest possible time.
Equipping all units of the Eighth Route Army with DP light machine guns will ensure the combat effectiveness of other units of the Eighth Route Army.
But the premise is that there must be sufficient raw materials, so the next step depends on the subsequent mining conditions.
This is only the output of DP light machine guns. In terms of bullets, the output of one piece of equipment is two hundred rounds a day. Currently, there are forty pieces of equipment.
This will allow its bullet production to reach 8,000 rounds per day. In one month, it will be 240,000 rounds of bullets. This was compared to the former Eighth Route Army.
It is definitely a huge number, but with the arrival of Su Bei, this number is constantly reaching the upper limit.
From the initial monthly output of several thousand rounds of ammunition to the current monthly output of 240,000 rounds, there was only less than two months in between.
At this moment, Wang Ming on the side looked like he was hesitating to speak. He wanted to say something, but he seemed to be worried.
When Su Bei saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little curious, and then looked at Wang Ming with a funny face.
"Old Wang, I see you look like this. Do you have something to say? Just say it directly."
When the words came to this point, Wang Ming did not hesitate anymore and spoke directly.
"Director, it's about the search for mines in Taihang Mountains. For several days, no one below could find any information about the mines."
"So some people are already a little emotional. They feel that this is all meaningless things. Nearly a thousand people have been searching near Taihang Mountain for four or five days."
"They are all wondering if there are related mines here in the Taihang Mountains, so my idea is, should we let them find another place?"
.............
In response, Su Bei waved his hand without thinking.
"No, just look for it near Taihang Mountain. You can talk to the people below and work harder, and you will definitely be able to find it. This is related to the output of our subsequent arsenal."
"If these iron ore and copper ores had not been found, our production would not have been able to increase without raw materials."
"No matter how many machine tools and equipment there are, it's useless. I took a look two days ago and there aren't many raw materials left in our arsenal."
"Based on the current production, it can only last for two months at most. If the production increases later, it won't even last two months."
"Therefore, the iron ore and copper ore must be found in the shortest possible time. You let the people below work harder."
After hearing Su Bei's words, Wang Ming immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and said with a serious face.
"Okay, factory director, I will urge them to find it quickly."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I'll ask you, Lao Wang, to take more trouble these days."
There was no way, Su Bei only knew that in his impression, there was indeed iron ore in the Taihang Mountains, but he didn't know the specific location.
He saw this by chance in his later life, so when he only knew the approximate location, he could only conduct a blanket search.
Although it may be a little tiring, at this period, no one is not tired, and Su Bei is just a little stronger.
In this time of war, let alone being tired, as long as you can save your life, that is already a blessing.
You must know that during the entire World War II, that is, the Japanese war of aggression, a total of 18 million people were sacrificed on the Chinese side.
With such a huge number, many people's lives were lost during this period, so it doesn't matter if it's a bit tiring.
It was precisely because of this that when Su Bei heard some people below complaining, he didn't ask them to stop searching and take a rest.
Instead, let them continue to search the rest of the Taihang Mountains, just because there is not much time left for their arsenal.
When the corresponding copper ore and iron ore are found, a series of operations are required to process them into materials that can be used to make weapons and equipment.
Such as mining and smelting, etc. It does not mean that these copper ore and iron ores can be used directly as soon as they are found.
It can only be said that time waits for no one. Whether it is Su Bei or other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they are all racing against time.
The earlier the iron ore and iron ore are found, the earlier the arsenal can become truly self-sufficient in materials.
Then the casualties of the Eighth Route Army troops can be reduced. After all, as more advanced weapons and equipment are equipped, the combat effectiveness will be improved accordingly.
If the combat effectiveness is increased together, the losses will be much less. Of course, this is only for the Chinese battlefield. If it is placed on the European battlefield.
The two weapons developed by Northern Jiangsu are still not on the table in the European battlefield. There are no heavy tanks or anything like that, and they are just cannon fodder in the European battlefield.
In this way, under Su Bei's order, the workers and soldiers sped up their movements and began to search the map for other places in the Taihang Mountains.
Finally, after two days, a team of soldiers finally found some clues.
This group of soldiers happened to be the ones who had complained earlier. At this time, a soldier in their group picked up an ordinary-looking stone from the ground and shouted to the squad leader in front.
"Squad leader, look at this thing. Is it the kind of stone that Director Su said?"
When the squad leader in front heard this, he immediately came over. Not only the squad leader, but also several other soldiers gathered around him.
