Rise from the sword

Chapter 327 The Sad Yoshio Shinozuka

"Li Yunlong is here?"

As soon as Li Datuan left, Dean Liu of the headquarters hospital rushed over.

"Just left, you are late."

Looking at Dean Liu who had stretched his neck towards the supplies, Zhang Wanhe rolled his eyes:

"I didn't bring you medicine, and these are not for you, but he brought eight tons of fine grains and five barrels of canned meat. We can share one point and improve the food for the wounded."

Although Li Datuan has a reputation for plucking geese, but he can get along smoothly in the headquarters, so he is naturally well versed in interpersonal communication. Every time he comes, he will bring some good things.

It used to be useless things that were seized, such as devil katana swords, or some gadgets of officers.Now that he is rich, he can buy good things directly, so Dean Liu rushes over in a hurry, afraid that the things will be gone if it is too late.

"Haha not bad."

Dean Liu was not polite at all: "His canned meat is not suitable for the wounded, and I have also shared some new pork recently. I don't want canned meat. I will share more fine grains. The wounded are more suitable to eat this."

"Row."

Zhang Wanhe nodded in satisfaction.

Compared with the desperate soldiers on the front line, although the soldiers and workers in his logistics department had less food supply, he organized his own people to plant a la carte field, so they could still eat enough.And there are still many people who save food and hand it in.

There is no difference between fine grains and coarse grains.

On the contrary, eating meat once in a while can boost morale and increase workers' enthusiasm for production.

"Okay, you help me send someone over here, I don't have enough manpower recently."

After finishing speaking, Dean Liu rushed to the hospital.

Although the army had won a battle before, there were also many wounded. The hospital at the headquarters has been very busy recently. As the dean, he is naturally very busy and has no time to dawdle here. If he had known that Li Yunlong was not there, he would not have bothered to come here.

After greeting and distributing the materials, Zhang Wanhe called the transportation team of the logistics department to transport the raw materials of explosives and the newly arrived machinery and equipment to the Huangyadong Armory on the mountainside and the surrounding supporting factories.

Along the way, Zhang Wanhe kept telling:
"Small boxes are lighter, this one must not be dropped."

"The big box is the same, don't drop it."

"If anyone goes wrong, don't even think about eating meat."

This sentence immediately made the hearts of all the soldiers tremble, and their steps became more steady.

Under the threat of not giving meat to eat, the soldiers of the transportation team of the logistics department were unprecedentedly serious and fast. They transported all the raw materials and machinery to the warehouse or factory in just one day, without any accidents during the period.

During the period, the boss also asked Staff Officer Mo to come over and ask, to see what good things Li Yunlong had brought.

"good stuff."

"It's all good stuff."

Mentioning this, Zhang Wanhe couldn't help but grin from ear to ear: "Fifty tons of raw materials for explosives, and five pieces of machinery and equipment, and the latest important weapons production equipment, the kind that money can't buy."

In addition to the seamless steel pipe extrusion machine, there are four other machines that also produce weapons.

"Fifty tons!"

"Equipment you can't buy."

Staff Officer Mo doesn't know much about machinery and equipment, nor does he know much about military production. He is mainly responsible for intelligence analysis, but the quantity of [-] tons and the words "can't be bought with money" all mean precious, rare and rare .

Zhang Wanhe is still eager to tell:

"Now there are forty machines in the arsenal, plus the twenty that Li Yunlong intercepted from the devil's army, and these five, this number is already comparable to that of ordinary foreign arsenals."

"Also, the five behind Li Yunlong are all new and of excellent quality."

"Give me another half a year, and I can stabilize the output of bullets at 60 rounds per day. The output of grenades, [-] mortars, and shells can be increased by more than five times, and the quality is no worse than that of devils."

Zhang Wanhe's tone was full of confidence.

It has been more than half a year, and the damage caused by the Yamazaki devils to the arsenal has been restored, and it has improved several floors.

"it is good."

Staff Officer Mo couldn't help saying hello.

300 rounds per day, that year was more than 60 million rounds, plus grenades and [-] mortars increased by five times, so that the weapons and ammunition produced each year were enough for the troops to fight several major battles.

Although it is still a serious shortage, after all, there are more than 30 troops, this bullet is still far from enough, but there is no need to count the bullets at home and watch the devils be unscrupulous.

However, in his heart, he couldn't help thinking.

In his view, there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no giving for no reason. Li Yunlong has obtained so many good things, so how much price will he have to pay?

······
at the same time.

Taiyuan.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the telegram sent by the headquarters of the North China Front Army, took a deep breath, and the gloomy face showed that he was very angry at this moment, but he just suppressed the anger in his heart.

"General?"

Yamamoto on the side couldn't help asking.

Why are you angry?

Inhale deeply again, and then exhale. After repeating several times, Shinozuka Yoshio said:
"Orders from base camp."

"Let's deal with the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army."

"The arsenal found by the Yamazaki Battalion?"

Yamamoto naturally remembered that the arsenal that Yamazaki occupied and destroyed part of the machinery and equipment.

Then, he frowned.

With the poor ability of the Eighth Route Army, and its location in the depths of the mountains, the base area is also surrounded by the imperial army, and the arsenal that can be organized is not good enough. I am afraid that even one-tenth of the ammunition that I need cannot be met. I don’t need it at all. Pay attention to.

Why are the top brass so obsessed with an arsenal?

"Recently, the Eighth Route Army has launched a lot of counterattacks, which have caused a lot of trouble everywhere. The railway transportation has been greatly disturbed. Moreover, during the battle, the opponent's firepower is much stronger than before, and there are a lot of grenade launchers. , Judging from what was seized, it was made by the other party. Although the materials are not as good as domestic ones, they are much better than the national government, and there are even rifling inside, which makes the base camp very dissatisfied."

"Demand that we immediately destroy the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army."

"Besides, there is also pressure from the cabinet."

Speaking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio sighed.

If they could deal with that arsenal, they would have done it long ago. Will they take it off until now?
Even if all his first army is dispatched, the opponent will immediately hide the machinery and equipment, and then move, the troops will be dispersed, and a few ambushes will be used to fight a few ambushes. He will not be able to find the main force of the enemy. Retreat, and then the opponent digs out the pole and continues to produce.

This can stop the opponent's production for a period of time, and even if you are lucky, you can even destroy some equipment. However, the tens of thousands of troops work hard and consume a lot of money. In the end, it is the imperial army that suffers.

"A grenade?"

Yamamoto suddenly remembered the military column that was robbed: "General, do you still remember the military column that was robbed by Li Yunlong?"

"Military column?"

When Yoshio Shinozuka recalled it, he suddenly remembered it, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "By the way, what was transported in that military column was a complete set of machinery and equipment for producing grenades, which were originally used in the Taiyuan Arsenal."

"Could it be..."

Yoshio Shinozuka had some bad thoughts in his heart.

"I remember that the investigation after the incident revealed that Li Yunlong had left the machinery and equipment in a deep lake in Wendian Village. However, because it was winter and the lake was frozen, no manpower was arranged to investigate carefully."

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate immediately."

Yamamoto is worthy of being an elite devil officer, and he knows everything about what happened more than half a year ago.

"General, in this battle, compared with grenade launchers, the Eighth Route Army used several Type [-]s, as well as a large number of shells, as well as German-made hand grenades, as well as those machine guns and bullets that don't know where they came from. Could it be that the high-level headquarters and the front army did not Do you pay attention?"

Kazuki Yamamoto really didn't understand.

Compared with a small arsenal, it is obvious that this batch of weapons and ammunition, Li Yunlong's regiment, and the mysterious Chen Fan, who has been investigating for more than a year and has no clue, are much more threatening.

At least, that arsenal has at most a few weapons and ammunition in a year, the quality is also poor, and the production capacity is not stable, and that Chen Fan has probably provided no less than eight or nine hundred tons of weapons and ammunition over the past year, and they are all high-quality weapons. Comparable to top foreign manufacturers.

One person is comparable to a foreign medium-sized arsenal, isn't it more important than a small arsenal hidden in a cave?

It is clear at a glance who needs to be dealt with first.

"Hmph, a group of stubborn old people."

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka slapped the telegram on the table.

After taking a few breaths, Shinozuka Yoshio said:

"General Gangcun also mentioned this matter to the country, but the high-level officials told us not to take care of it. The base camp seems to not pay attention to this issue at all. It seems that there are already other solutions."

He always felt that the higher-ups were hiding something from them.

But what, even a front army commander needs to hide?
"Could it be that you plan to cut off the external channels of the entire Republic of China?"

Yamamoto thought about it.

Now that the Soviet Union and Germany have gone to war, and the allies are invincible, the north is almost unable to support the Republic of China, so the only external channel is the south.

"I don't know."

Shinozuka Yoshio's face was still gloomy.

He had been organizing an attack on Li Yunlong, and planned to launch an attack in two months. With a brigade and an artillery brigade, he would definitely be able to wipe out Li Yunlong's main force. In the case of patchwork, it is almost ready.

In the end, it was all right, the superior's order directly ruined his plan, and the prepared materials had to be used to supply the attacking troops.

The past few months have been in vain.

"You send someone to watch Li Yunlong. In addition, let the spy also report the situation of the independent group."

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his forehead, and said in a helpless tone, "How about their military strength, how about their weapons and equipment, and what kind of military activities they have recently, it is best to find out."

Although they still had doubts about Zhu Ziming, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't care less at this time.

The next attack on the independent regiment might be next year. Li Yunlong dared to attack the county now, and let Li Yunlong develop for another half a year. God knows how strong this guy will be in half a year.

and.

Don't care about him for half a year.

How many things will he do in the past six months?

According to the previous rule, this guy will do a big thing almost every two months...

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka felt his scalp go numb.

"Hi."

Yamamoto bowed his head.

"For this attack on the Eighth Route Army's arsenal, the Front Army will also send a regiment over to join the battle. It will start around November, so you don't need to worry about it." Speaking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

"Hi."

Yamamoto bowed his head.

It seems that there is a lot of movement in this attack. It is only the beginning of August and three months of preparation time, so the attack force may be nearly [-].

"in addition."

In the end, Shinozuka Yoshio was really worried about Li Yunlong, so he ordered to a staff officer:

"Let the garrisons in various places maintain a high level of vigilance, and the officers should try not to go out. The supply team must also be heavily guarded, and it is best to investigate, as well as randomize the route and transportation time."

Li Yunlong can't afford to provoke him recently, so he hides.

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head and said yes.

After Yamamoto and the staff left, Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply:

"I hope Li Yunlong can be more honest."

After a while, Yamamoto suddenly rushed over and said to Yoshio Shinozuka, "General, Kotaro Ito, the captain of the former Shou County Brigade, is back."

"Ok?"

Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly opened his eyes: "Bring him to see me."

······
A few days later.

Headquarters.

The arsenal on the mountainside.

Looking at the steel pipe extrusion machine in operation, Zhang Wan, whose eyes were bloodshot, drooled from his mouth.

"This is really good stuff."

Beside him, a technician also grinned from ear to ear: "This extruder is probably the latest model abroad. The technology is much better than what I have seen in France, and the quality of the extruded steel pipes is also good."

"Moreover, the accessories are fully returned, and even the design drawings and manufacturing processes are given."

"There are other machines too."

"In the future, if the technical level is reached, we will be able to produce it ourselves."

Looking at the materials dug out from the box on the side, it was almost full of materials on a table. This expert in his 40s who returned from France opened his mouth almost to the ear.

It is simply.

Teach him to fish, plus, teach him to fish.

"Next."

Zhang Wanhe has regained his composure, looking at the extrusion machine being trial-produced, he took a deep breath:

"We are going to solve the problem of steel quality."

The devil's rail steel weapons are still a bit poor. The grenades and guns produced not only have a poor lifespan and a high failure rate, but also have a serious drop in accuracy after continuous shooting.

And this is a big problem.

"I already have an idea."

On the side, a middle-aged man with glasses suddenly said, holding a stack of documents in his hand:
"Who gave this information? It's too detailed. It even explains the steel composition and manufacturing method of this extrusion machine."

"Combined with the information here, I have an idea to produce a small amount of good-quality steel by local methods."

"it is good."

Zhang Wanhe is a man of action: "Then start working immediately. There is a lot of steel now. Tell me what you need."

He is not afraid of failure, but afraid of being helpless.

Outside the arsenal, Staff Officer Mo came over, accompanied by a regimental commander.

Behind the two, there are nearly a thousand fighters. These fighters are obviously elite, with resolute faces, firm eyes, and top-notch equipment, all of which are of Czech style. The quality can be seen from Li Yunlong's side.

"Minister Zhang."

Leading the regiment leader up to Zhang Wanhe, Staff Officer Mo introduced: "This is Captain Huang of the Headquarters Secret Service Regiment. Next, the Headquarters Special Service Regiment will be responsible for the defense of Huangya Cave."

"Headquarters Special Task Force..."

Zhang Wanhe was shocked.

This group, but...
　Shit, I almost forgot to post it...
