Tang Li, who had calculated the data in his mind, laughed and said to Li Yunlong.

"Old Li, according to the data provided by Zhao Zhengwei, the arsenals in the rear each produce about 20,000 rounds of ammunition per day. Even if there are differences in the size of the factories, the largest factory is estimated to produce only 50,000 rounds per day at most."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and asked Li Yunlong mysteriously.

"Guess how many rifle bullets my arsenal produces per day?"

Li Yunlong is still curious about such things.

After Zhao Gang finished talking about the data, he also roughly calculated that the six military factories in the rear could produce 120,000 per day together.

But no matter how frugal the soldiers were, a medium-sized battle would require 500,000 rounds of bullets, not to mention the consumption of other ammunition.

If it was just a small-scale blocking battle or encounter, the consumption of ammunition could be limited to 50,000 rounds.

Lao Li became more and more confident in his practice of plundering the enemy's weapons and ammunition.

After Tang Li asked this question, Lao Li thought about it carefully. Tang Li's arsenal had just been established, not even a week had passed. Even with the support of the United States, it could at most achieve the speed of a large arsenal. So he tried to speak cautiously.

"Fifty... fifty thousand rounds?"

Li Yunlong was a little worried when he said this number, fearing that it was too high and would undermine Tang Li's self-confidence.

Hearing Li Yunlong's answer, Tang Li chuckled and shook his head, then stretched out five fingers and said.

"It's five hundred thousand rounds!"

"24 hours a day, the soldiers work in three shifts and the machines never rest."

"We can produce 500,000 rounds a day!"

After saying that, Tang Li pointed at the boxes that the soldiers had just unloaded.

"More than ammunition, the production of this Type 81 automatic rifle is 1,400 per day."

"Based on the current number of troops in our army, we can upgrade and replace equipment for the entire army within a year."

At this time Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were stunned again. There was nothing they could do. What Tang Li said was too shocking.

The output of a newly built arsenal directly exceeded the total output of six old arsenals, and was nearly tripled.

Who would believe this if I said it out loud?

And not just ammunition, but weapons too!

The weapon just now, its accuracy, and its durability!

It makes me dizzy just thinking about it.

Tang Li ignored Li and Zhao who were still in a daze and continued speaking.

"This batch of supplies includes 7.62 Type automatic rifles and million rounds of ammunition."

"I emptied my family's fortune this time. I brought all the output from the past three days, except for the equipment for my own troops!"

When Li Yunlong heard Tang Li say the amount of supplies brought this time, he went from one shock to another.

Although Li Yunlong had a rough estimate of the amount of supplies when he saw more than 40 donkey carts, Li Yunlong was thinking about things like homemade mines or homemade grenades.

Those supplies looked like they were piled up like mountains, but there weren't actually that many.

But who would have known that there were only two things involved, besides the rifle and the bullets.

The rifle is a bit bulky, and the bullets are a little thing, forty carts... one million and a half rounds.

If we get some more howitzers, Li Yunlong will dare to attack Taiyuan now!

These are 1.5 million bullets, Li Yunlong said to Tang Li with a strange expression.

"No wonder you said that each person should be equipped with three magazines. It seems that your production is aimed at this arrangement!"

Tang Li said with a serious face.

"Our soldiers' lives are lives too! If we can solve the problem with bullets, we will solve it with bullets. If we can't, we will just use artillery fire."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he didn't care about anything else and just put his arm around Tang Li's shoulders and spoke.

"Hehehe, you are really a genius!"

Then he asked in a lower voice.

"That...cannon..."

Of course Tang Li knew what Li Yunlong wanted to ask, so he answered directly.

"Don't worry, my senior sister is an expert in explosives. The production line for howitzer shells is already in production, but the grenade launcher is still being designed. If we use the United States's directly, there will be international problems, so the weapon needs to be modified."

Li Yunlong had an expression that said, "I understand what you said." He looked at the small boxes piled up on the ground and began to think about how to divide the loot. "Pah, phut, phut, phut" crossed it out.

Started thinking about how to distribute it.

Li Yunlong finally understood why Tang Li said at the beginning that he couldn't eat so many supplies.

One million and a half rounds of ammunition and six thousand new automatic rifles.

This is indeed not something that he can keep all to himself. Tang Li’s arsenal will continue to produce weapons and equipment in the future.

If other troops knew that I had taken it all for myself from the very beginning, they would come and tear me apart and eat me up.

Moreover, the purpose of Tang Li's trip was to report to the division headquarters.

If I took all of them and only let Tang Li take the walkie-talkie to the division headquarters, even if Tang Li didn't say anything on his own initiative, and the division commander was interested in asking about the production of weapons, I would still have to go to the bedding factory to sew quilts!

So Li Yunlong still needs to figure out how much to cut off!

Tang Li saw Li Yunlong staring at the supplies with a troubled look on his face and knew that Li Yunlong's old habit of being stingy had come back again, so he whispered in Li Yunlong's ear.

"Brigade Commander! This is my output for those three days!"

"If you want more, can't I just call the base and send someone to get it?"

Li Yunlong suddenly realized, that’s right!

This is the arsenal of my subordinates, and it is my own place if you round it off. How could my share be missing?

So Li Yunlong waved his hand and said.

"Someone, come here! Take this batch of supplies back to the Second Battalion Commander!"

"We only need to keep 500,000 rounds of ammunition and 2,000 guns."

Li Yunlong thought that he would not be short of weapons and ammunition in the future anyway, so he decided to be generous for once.

Only leave one third of the supplies and send the rest away!

Tang Li saw that Li Yunlong did not treat him as an outsider at all and started to help Tang Li distribute supplies directly.

If you get closer, you can even hear Li Yunlong muttering over there.

"One thousand four hundred guns and five hundred thousand rounds of ammunition a day. Now I have four battalions and fifteen companies under my command. If I go to one company a day, I can reinforce them all in half a month."

"Hehehe, a company has 500,000 rounds of ammunition. Old Li has never fought such a rich war!"

Listening to Li Yunlong's mumbling, Tang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But isn’t this exactly what Tang Li expected?

Let the Chinese troops no longer suffer unnecessary casualties due to lack of ammunition.

Just as the soldiers began to busy themselves with moving all the supplies onto the vehicle, the walkie-talkie in Tang Li's hand suddenly rang.

Jingle Bell……

Looking at the ringing phone, Tang Li had a bad feeling in his heart.

This phone has just been activated once, and the only call made was to the command center, so this call must have been from the command center!

Hearing the phone ringing, everyone around looked at Tang Li.

Tang Li picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and the operator's voice sounded.

"Battalion Commander! Something bad has happened..."
