Rise from the sword

Chapter 430 Talk
Zuojiazhuang.

The new regiment.

This is a slightly dilapidated small courtyard, but you can see many traces of new repairs.

The gate of the original courtyard including the threshold has been removed, and even part of the courtyard wall has been demolished. The flat soil road extends from the foot of the mountain all the way to the small courtyard of the regiment headquarters.

Inside the yard, five small parking spaces were newly built, and two three-wheeled motorcycles were parked here at this time.

inside the house.

"Old Ding, you've had a good life."

Kong Jie held a cup of hot tea, looked at the tea leaves in the cup, tsk tsk tsk:

"There are not many good tea leaves here, even at the headquarters."

Director Kong Da has two hobbies. Tobacco, or leaf tobacco, he doesn’t like cigarettes. He likes strong and flavorful leaf tobacco the most. The other is tea, all kinds of tea.

"Hey hey..."

Ding Wei chuckled:
"Last week, I made a small fortune. The little devil had a transportation team passing through the edge of my defense area to Heyuan County. I killed them all and seized a little good stuff."

Li Yunlong fought the devils, and he was extremely ruthless, with hundreds of shells. Ding Wei and Kong Jie would naturally not be honest, but they knew that the new first regiment and the new second regiment needed time to develop and digest Li Yunlong's supplement Those weapons and ammunition, so it is just a small fight, and occasionally a small artillery building.Bully some puppet troops around, ambush the transport team, and practice for a while.

The devil's eyes were all on Li Yunlong, and he ignored this drizzle-like loss.

"Transport team... a little bit of supplies."

Kong Jie smiled with emotion in his tone.

The transportation team means twelve horse-drawn carts, loaded with at least 20 tons of various horse bean feed, white flour corn and grain supplies, and about forty devils, escorted by more than [-] puppet troops, equipped with Four machine guns, and grenades.If it was the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, no, even three and a half years ago, that is, when he was the head of the independent regiment, this was simply a great victory, a great harvest, and worthy of celebration by the whole regiment. , and may not even be able to chew it down.

Afterwards, you need to guard against the devil's revenge.

But now, it is indeed a little bit of supplies, drizzle, his new second regiment alone, with [-] soldiers in the regiment plus the road construction team, consumes more than ten tons of food and supplies every day.

This small convoy is not enough to fit between the teeth.

Moreover, after killing them, the devils are not the same as before. They just send people to investigate, and then the future transport team will detour.

"Why are you going to the independent group this time?"

Ding Wei asked suddenly.

Kong Jie went to the independent group this time, and because of the fast speed of the three jumpers, he ran to him to catch up with the past and grab a meal by the way.

"Go to get scriptures."

Kong Jie took a sip of tea:

"Now in my side, there are 500 people in the road construction team alone. This is not counting their family members. In addition, the population pouring in from all over the country has almost become a small city. I found that using the army It’s really not good to have a set of management, although the superiors have also sent some political workers, but it still doesn’t work, there are always troubles, so I went to Li Yunlong to see how they manage it.”

"His size and population are more than ten times larger than ours."

"It's normal to have trouble, and it's the same on my side."

Facing this topic, Ding Wei's tone was relaxed:

"We are good at commanding wars, but we have absolutely no experience in the construction and development of base areas, or even economic construction, and even the superiors have no experience. After all, we are taking a new path."

"It's normal to have some troubles now, and experience must be summed up."

"We didn't make a lot of mistakes in the early military struggle, and even the two of us, when we became regimental leaders, didn't we make all kinds of mistakes?"

"really."

Recalling the history of his team leader, Kong Jie sighed.

After so much experience, it seems that many failures in the past were avoidable, but at that time, due to lack of experience, no problems were found, and the problems were not dealt with correctly.

"The little devil is going downhill, and he will be kicked out one day. At that time, hehe, the situation will be very different from now."

Speaking of this, Ding Wei suddenly lowered his tone slightly:
"We can't always fight wars. After all, we have to return to the country and economic construction. This is what can make the people of the country eat well, live well, and live happily. But again, this is a new road for us."

"Previous failures have proved that you can't just copy other people's experience, you have to take a path that suits you. After all, the situation in each place is different, and the problems faced are also different."

"Li Yunlong's side is not only building a solid rear base, but also doing a lot of construction, building factories, developing the economy, and sending young cadres and outstanding talents non-stop."

"I reckon that this is letting Li Yunlong find his way and accumulate experience and talents for the future."

"hiss···"

Kong Jie took a slight breath:

"Li Yunlong did a good job there. The management is in place, and there are basically no major disturbances. People without land can find jobs to make a living. People's lives are getting better every day, and they are more and more supportive of us."

"However, these things he did, and the food stamps..."

Kong Jie stopped at this point.

Ding Wei knew what Kong Jie wanted to say later, so he smiled:
"Small shops are okay, and one person can make decisions, but once the shop is big, there will be different opinions. This is inevitable and necessary."

"It's like our regiment. When making important decisions, the regiment leader can't just make a decision. Instead, the regiment headquarters will hold a meeting, and the political commissar, staff battalion and company commanders will make the final decision."

"Li Yunlong was very dishonest before and caused a lot of trouble, but more than three years ago, he killed Sakata, and his superiors dismissed him and sent him to be the factory director of the clothing factory. Although Li Yunlong had opinions, there is no need to remind him. went."

"Besides, that year he brought in [-] tons of cotton. This batch of cotton has saved many people."

"Yes, it was very cold that winter."

Kong Jie deeply agrees.

"That incident was too weird, the higher-ups didn't praise him, and there was no written reward."

Ding Wei continued:

"But this credit must be attributed to Li Yunlong. In this matter, he has finally created a good image."

"Then, the higher-ups gave me the new regiment that Li Yunlong worked so hard to build, and asked him to take charge of forming the new second regiment. Li Yunlong still had the same attitude. He had opinions in his mouth, and he was already thinking about how to quickly make the new second regiment effective."

"Afterwards, it was Yamamoto's secret service that raided the headquarters and you caught him. He was urgently transferred to the independent regiment to clean up the mess."

"As for Li Yunlong, he is still the same, and he only has some opinions in his mouth. After he got to the independent group, he actually worked hard. Not long after he left, the independent group also resumed."

"After all these things..."

Ding Wei said that he stopped here, and looked at Kong Jie with a smile.

"Ah."

Kong Jie nodded, and gave a long hum, he understood what it meant.

Ding Wei continued:

"It's normal to have different opinions, but in the end, it must be the dominant side, or the proven decision is passed."

"How many possessions has Li Yunlong bought in the past few years when he took over the Independence Group?"

"Until the last time the devils raided, there were no less than a thousand Czech-style machine guns coming out of him, hundreds of thousands of German-made big tumors, millions of bullets, mortars, and Type [-] infantrymen. gun."

"more than."

Kong Jie added.

After Li Yunlong came, he worked in the independent regiment for a while, and he knew how generous that Boss Chen was. That time he helped him and Ding Wei to fight the artillery building, and he definitely got no less than 250 tons of weapons and ammunition. After that incident, Li Yunlong It is also proof that the generosity offered to provide materials to the above.

"There are also gold, medicines, food, machinery and equipment, and raw materials for explosives."

"These materials have greatly accelerated the development and growth of our base area. According to Zhang Wanhe's work report, as of last month, the grenadier production line has produced a total of [-] grenadiers to equip the troops."

Ding Wei smiled and said:

"After arriving in Zhaojiayu, we will not mention weapons and equipment. Li Yunlong has provided almost [-] tons of grain to the logistics department in the past four months. Because of this batch of grain, our border currency has completely stabilized now."

"The food was given by that boss Chen."

"However, Zhao Jiayu is still running various small factories, coal mines, opening schools, organizing a large number of manpower to open up wasteland, raising pigs and chickens, and even building canals to divert water. It is expected that they will produce no less food next year."

"Also, the stepped taxation method is being tried out there. The total tax revenue has increased by more than 100 times compared with four months ago, and it is still increasing rapidly."

"More than 100 times!"

Kong Jie widened his eyes.

Troop consumption mainly depends on base area taxation, mainly agricultural tax, otherwise the troops would not be able to generate supplies and money. Generally, one hundred ordinary people can support one Eighth Route Army soldier to go to war.

More than 100 times, judging from the population growth of Zhao Jiayu, the single person has increased by almost ten times.

"No wonder..."

Kong Jie muttered to himself.

The army is stronger, the people's lives are better, the products are richer, and they can get a lot of food and other materials, as well as a lot of taxes to support the development of the army. No wonder they can resist so many objections.

in a room.

"It was sent by the independent group."

Zhang Wanhe took a look at a document sent by Staff Officer Mo of the final headquarters, and then opened his mouth in horror:
"The independent regiment plans to set up an explosives factory with a daily output of [-] tons?"

"hiss····"

As he said that, he let out a long breath of cool air.

What is the concept of producing [-] tons per day?
This is not black powder, but high-quality explosives. After the batch of raw materials that Li Yunlong sent over ran out, the annual output of his arsenal was not so much.

Calculated, it is close to [-] tons of explosives a year.

"With sufficient raw materials, the maximum production capacity can only be reached in one to one and a half years."

The latter sentence made Zhang Wanhe heave a sigh of relief.

If the independent regiment started tomorrow, he would be stuffed with [-] tons of high-quality explosives every day, nearly [-] tons a year, and he would be so happy that he would go into cardiac arrest.

Zhao Gang finally found out that his plan to reach the maximum production capacity in half a year was not feasible.

Even with a complete production line, due to the site and the lack of skilled workers, although there is a master to guide the training, there is only one after all, and in addition to being in charge of the repair shop, it will take more than a year to reach the maximum. production capacity.

"Need tung oil and salt?"

Seeing the following request, Zhang Wanhe, who was a little worried at first, waved his hand:
"It's simple. I'll find someone to arrange it right away. I'll give him as much as he wants."

"There's more in the back."

Staff Mo reminded.

"and also?"

Zhang Wanhe looked down and took another breath:
"Parts processing factory? Strikers and other small parts can be manufactured in large quantities."

"Great."

This time, Zhang Wanhe jumped up happily.

Not only new weapons, but also maintenance. The firing pin is also a big trouble. The Czech style and rifles produced by Li Yunlong are not a problem. The number of firing pin accessories is scary, but Hanyang made and other rifles are also needed.

"I'll arrange for people to buy and collect materials immediately, and then I will go to the independent group myself."

Zhang Wanhe said.

Zhao Jiayu.

The vigorous recruitment of workers naturally failed to hide the devil's eyeliner. Although there are very few devil spies who infiltrated the army, after all, the regular army needs to pass the audit, and the card is very strict, but it is not difficult to enter Zhaojiayu, or even join the construction team.

It's just that the devil didn't know what the independent group was going to do.

But on such a scale, the total number exceeds 5000 people.

The requirements are also rather strange. They need to have worked in a factory. It is best to recruit experienced workers from chemical factories. The direct management of the army still makes the devils smell something wrong.

Yamamoto, who was in charge of Zhao Jiayu's intelligence, immediately stepped up his investigation.

After losing a large group of spies, Yamamoto finally discovered that the independent group seemed to be building a large factory, which occupied a large area, and part of it was built in the open air, and part of it was located in cave dwellings. It also discovered a lot of brand new chemical machinery and equipment.

But what exactly is produced is still unclear.

Afterwards, Yamamoto got the news that the guerrillas were collecting and buying large quantities of tung oil and increasing the production of salt. These materials were finally transported to the independent regiment.

This made Yamamoto even more aware that something was wrong.

Such a big move is definitely not a small matter.

After being beaten up several times by Chief Li Datuan, Yoshimoto also greatly increased his vigilance towards the Independent Regiment, and immediately ordered Yamamoto to investigate the movement of the Independent Regiment. Finally, Yamamoto finally decided to use the two lurking inside the Independent Regiment Senior spy.

"That Wang Qing has acted again."

Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters and said to Li Yunlong: "This devil asked to send someone to spy on the workers on the grounds of preventing spies from infiltrating new workers and disrupting production."

"Ah···"

At the end, Zhao Gang sneered.

If it wasn't for the fact that another senior spy hadn't been found, he would have killed Wang Qing long ago.

"In terms of safety, are you ready?"

Zhao Gang asked.

The explosives factory had a lot to do with it, and Li Yunlong personally watched over the safety issue, and a platoon was dispatched from the guard company, and a company was mobilized from the third battalion to take charge of the security work.

"no problem."

Li Yunlong's tone is confident:
"I also recently increased anti-aircraft firepower."

"Then I agree with him."

Zhao Gang said with a smile, but no matter how you look at it with a smile, it looks a little sinister.

"Right, one more thing."

Zhao Gang continued: "A group of young students and anti-Japanese intellectuals planned to come to our side, but they got stuck on the Zhengtai Line. The comrades in the enemy-occupied area asked us to send someone to help them."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Yunlong nodded.

　This chapter was very difficult to write, it was revised and changed, and the meaning has not yet been written, but this is the only way, otherwise it will not be published.
