    The four Chinese mixed armored brigades in the four mechanized armies need to be equipped with 536 fd18 pioneer light tanks, 1104 fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicles, 1008 dodge one and a half ton military trucks and 208 fj18 humvee off-road multi-purpose  car.  "

    ¡°As he spoke, Jiang Hongyu, chief of staff and logistics commander of the coalition, looked at the data on the report in his hand. A group of Chinese, Japanese and federal generals in the conference room exclaimed at the data he just reported, and then said,

    "Currently, there are only 560 fd18 pioneer light tanks produced in July and shipped to the front line, 890 fd17ii wheeled armored combat vehicles, 980 dodge one and a half ton military trucks, and 880 fj18 hummer off-road utility vehicles.  "The gap can only be filled by waiting for the second batch of tanks, armored vehicles and American-made Dodge trucks to be shipped to the rear in mid-to-late August." Jiang Hongyu cleared up his current family fortune in one go.

    "Chief of Staff, you have forgotten that the mechanized group army has four heavy artillery regiments. Each heavy artillery regiment has three 150mm heavy howitzer battalions. Each battalion has three six-gun artillery batteries. One heavy artillery regiment has one  There are 54 150mm heavy howitzers. The heavy artillery regiments of the three reorganized divisions of the Chinese 4th Army are assigned to the first three armies. The 10th Mechanized Infantry Army still lacks one regiment of 150mm heavy howitzers! "Qian Tianfu is here!  While reminding his chief of staff.

    "I have not forgotten that the 75mm mountain guns, field guns and 150mm heavy howitzers copied by the Yekaterinburg Arsenal in July will be shipped to Samara in two days. This gap has been filled. Not only that, 6  The Siberian Infantry Division in the infantry group army, plus the 4 Siberian and federal infantry divisions in the 4 mechanized group armies, a total of 720 75mm caliber mountain guns for the artillery regiments of ten divisions. The part with insufficient domestic production capacity has also been passed from  It was collected through temporary transfer and misappropriation by other domestic troops.¡±

    Jiang Hongyu obviously did not serve as the logistics commander for nothing. Wang Geng next to him sighed inwardly after hearing this. Although the production capacity of the Xuanhua Arsenal continued to increase, it could never keep up with the needs of the army's expansion. For example, as early as April 1918,  The artillery workshop of the Xuanhua Arsenal achieved a monthly production of 36 75mm mountain guns, 36 75mm field guns and 24 150mm howitzers. With the increase in production equipment and the training of skilled workers, the output doubled in May, reaching 72 75mm mountain guns.  , 72 75mm field guns and 54 150mm howitzers.

    Throughout June, the production capacity of the gun workshop of Xuanhua Arsenal continued to expand astonishingly, reaching a rate of 144 75mm mountain guns, 144 75mm field guns, and 108 150mm howitzers.  Production capacity doubled again in July, but it is almost the limit in the short term. In July, the gun workshop of Xuanhua Arsenal produced 288 75mm mountain guns, 288 75mm field guns and 216 150mm howitzers.

    But this is already the limit of the production capacity of the artillery workshop of the Xuanhua Arsenal. At this time, the number of workers in the Xuanhua Arsenal has reached an astonishing 20,000 people. With some senior technical backbones rushing to Yekaterinaburg to build a new workshop of the arsenal,  China's domestic gun production capacity will remain at the level of monthly production of 250 75mm mountain guns, 250 75mm field guns and 180 150mm howitzers.

    The production capacity of the artillery workshop of the Yekaterinaburg Heavy Industrial Base Arsenal in Western Siberia has just started from a monthly production of 36 75mm mountain guns, 36 75mm field guns and 24 150mm howitzers.  Fortunately, Japan's domestic arsenals are not idle either. The huge orders placed by the Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces Command have caused Japanese ordnance companies to grit their teeth and increase investment in increasing the production of artillery. The Japanese arsenal can now deliver 72 75mm mountain guns every month.  72 75mm field guns and 36 150mm heavy howitzers.

    You must know that after the Battle of Ufa, only eight artillery regiments of the Siberian Infantry Division, which were fully armed in accordance with Chinese division equipment standards, plus two artillery regiments of the 1st Federal Ufa Infantry Division and the 4th Samara Division, were formed.  This requires the deployment of 720 75mm mountain field guns, and the total artillery production of China, Japan and Ekaterinaburg in May, June and July is enough to equip the artillery of 14 Siberian and federal infantry divisions.

    There are still 6 army groups in the entire Volga Federation that have joined the Southwestern Front and the Southern Front. This is the gap for a total of 1,296 75mm mountain field guns belonging to the 18 artillery regiments and infantry regiments. In addition, there are also the Don River and the North Caucasus Republic.  With the two newly joined federal armies, there is another gap of 432 cannons in the six artillery regiments.

    If each group army will be equipped with 54 150mm heavy howitzers, then the 10 group armies belonging to the Volga Federation will also need 540 150-caliber heavy howitzers. Wang Geng, who is determined to arm the Allied forces to the teeth, is actually better than Pei Pei.  Pelyayev is also anxious to establish joint venture arsenals in places such as Tsaritsyn, Samara, Saratov, and Voronezh to produce weapons, equipment, and ammunition. Otherwise, people, horses, and chews will be transported from the Far East and burned.  The coal and water are probably heavier than the munitions!

    At this time, the only production capacity that can fully meet the needs of the front line is the easily manufactured 60mm caliber platoon mortars, 81mm caliber battalion mortars, m191837aa anti-aircraft guns, m191837at anti-tank guns and m191837ag tank guns, various types of shells,  Aerial bombs and 7.62mm stepsThe production capacity of gun bullets and 12.7mm machine gun bullets is barely sufficient.

    Of course, there is no need for these families to tell the following generals so clearly. Among the four mechanized armies, the fd18 Trailblazer light tank has the smallest gap, with a full strength of 712 units. Only 560 units have arrived, leaving 152 units short of the fd17ii wheeled tank.  Armored fighting vehicles are second. The full establishment requires 1,488 vehicles. Currently, we have 1,250 vehicles. There are 238 vehicles missing. Dodge 1-ton and semi-military trucks. The full establishment is 5,648 vehicles. 980 vehicles have just arrived. The shortage is 4,668 vehicles.  Fortunately, the 8,000 vehicles purchased from the United States will arrive in Ufa in batches in a week.

    Of course, there are still 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles owed to the four ** armored tank regiments. However, by the end of August, the newly produced tanks and armored vehicles will be able to cover the missing tanks and armored vehicles of the four mechanized group armies.
