Rise from the sword

Chapter 449 Opening!
Ping An County.

"Thank you, Mr. Yamamoto, for your recommendation."

Shinji Kozuo bowed deeply to Yamamoto, his voice was full of gratitude, and the tone of a sergeant dying for his confidant:
"For the sake of the emperor, for the holy war of the empire, I will do my best."

But Shinji Kozuo's bent face was full of gritted teeth.

"Yo Xi."

Yamamoto was very satisfied with Shinji Kozawa's attitude, and he continued to exhort:
"This time you are going to deal with your old opponent Li Yunlong. This person is full of tricks and acts beyond expectations. You must be vigilant and take precautions. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Hi."

Shinji Kozuo continued to bow, his voice was already slightly distorted.

Three times they almost died at the gunpoints of Li Yunlong's group, five times the garrison Yangquan was attacked by Li Yunlong, four times the unit under his command suffered heavy losses from Li Yunlong's ambush, and seven times the garrison was penetrated by Li Yunlong's troops.

Will he underestimate Li Yunlong's enemy?

How dare he underestimate Li Yunlong?

"Tell me if you have any difficulties, and remember to report to General Gibbon in time."

Yamamoto didn't notice Shinji Kozuo's abnormality. He patted Kozuo on the shoulder with a meaningful tone:
"This battle of 8000 people in two counties will definitely add to Jiazuo-kun's rich resume."

No matter which country's army it is, upgrading to major general is the most difficult step, even in wartime.

Ability, qualifications, and luck are indispensable.

It stands to reason that a command of 8000 people requires the level of a major general brigade commander, but under the intervention of Yamamoto and Yoshimoto, Shinji Kosao obtained the actual command power. Upgrades will be at least within the year.

In times of war, upgrading is much easier, just seize the opportunity.

"Hi."

Kozu Shinji's voice was full of bitterness.

He lacks a strong backing, the commander is already at the limit, and there is no chance to climb up, even if this is a war period, after all, the empire has a lot of commanders now, this is indeed a good opportunity, a battle command of 8000 people , to upgrade the general's pedals.

With this good opportunity, he should be happy.

Becoming a general is his lifelong dream.

But the problem is that this time it is Li Yunlong who is dealing with it, which makes Shinji Kozuo really unhappy.

Li Yunlong is not easy to deal with!

If you don't pay attention for a while, not only will the general fail to do it, but he will have to commit suicide by harakiri.

"Hey···"

Looking at Yamamoto who left, Shinji Kosawa sighed deeply.

After Yamamoto left, Yamada, one of the captains of Ping'an County and the former commander of the Xiyang Garrison, walked into the headquarters.

"Master Jia Zuo."

Yamada saluted very skillfully.

"Yamada-kun."

Shinji Kozuo pointed to the chair beside him, motioned Yamada to sit down and said.

The two had known each other very early, Xiyang was very close to Yangquan, and Yangquan and Xiyang were both very close to Li Yunlong's base at the time. Naturally, the relationship between the two was very good, after all, there was a long period of shared adversity.

"Kazuo-kun."

Yamada paused, and then said in a very solemn tone:

"The Li Yunlong here is more terrifying than the one in Shou County."

"Tell me in detail..."

Kozu Shinji's tone was equally dignified.

When Li Yunlong was still in Shouxian County, the two summed up an experience, and they had to make bold assumptions about Li Yunlong and be extremely prepared.

······
late June.

Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory.

Ding ding bang bang metal knocking sounds can be heard endlessly. In the factory building, more than 1000 technicians and workers are busy. Most of these people are very young. big.

Everyone's face is filled with joy and hope.

Although the machinery factory is very short of manpower, Zhang Wanhe is very cautious in selecting people based on the attitude of preferring shortage to excess. He mainly chooses those young students who are active, determined, and enthusiastic, as well as senior technicians.

After all, there are four master masters here, and there is also a complete set of machinery factory with the highest technical level in the entire Republic of China, so it is not easy to have any accidents.

At noon, a group of Zhao Jiayu carts pulled by big mules and horses came to the door. They were carts with rubber pneumatic tires and metal shock absorbers.

"Move these parts up."

Sun Desheng directed some people to move the wooden boxes piled up in the open space outside the gate of the machinery factory onto the cart, and then he took out a list and handed it to the leading transportation captain:
"Two hundred machine gun parts are here."

"Two hundred copies?"

The transportation captain who came was a little surprised.

He is the transport team leader of the Taihang Mountain Armory. This time he is here to transport machine gun parts to the headquarters armory. Before departure, Minister Zhang said that there are [-] main parts of the machine gun.

"Hey hey..."

Sun Desheng was a little proud:
"The production went better than expected, and the problem of raw materials has been preliminarily resolved. Go back and tell Zhang Wanhe that starting from July, my production capacity will reach 35 servings per day."

"35 copies! Yes."

The transportation captain was full of surprise and joy.

He naturally knew what he was transporting. It was an important part of the machine gun. Each part meant that one machine gun could be manufactured. 35 parts per day, that is a thousand machine guns per month.

A thousand machine guns a month!
How many troops can be equipped!

With indescribable excitement, the transport captain immediately began to lead people to carry the wooden boxes, and his movements were very careful.

"Director Sun."

After a while, a member of the regiment came over:
"There will be a batch of scrap steel delivered in the afternoon, about [-] tons, you prepare."

"So fast?"

Sun Desheng was a little surprised. He mobilized the power of the whole base area to collect scrap steel and purchased it from outsiders, which solved the problem of steel shortage at once. However, he only received a batch of scrap steel the day before yesterday, and today there is another batch, and it is still seventy Ton, he was very surprised.He nodded:
"it is good."

"Part of this batch of steel is from foreign merchants, and part of it was sent by the Jinsui Army."

The regiment staff who came over couldn't help but say something.

"Jin Sui Army."

Sun Desheng smiled.

"Director, the political commissar is here."

After the members of the regiment left, Sun Desheng entered the machinery factory building and approached a master master. After listening to the master's lecture on the key points of machine tool operation, as well as the structure and design of the machine tool, a soldier said to Sun Desheng.

"political commissar."

Sun Desheng hurried outside.

"Get ready."

Zhao Gang didn't talk nonsense, he spread out the map, pointed to a point and said:

"I thought of a way to separate the machine gun production line and set up a separate workshop here, which is convenient for expanding production and training workers."

"it is good."

What the political commissar said made Sun Desheng's eyes light up.

Because of the master master, the machinery factory has a lot of advanced technical information provided by Boss Chen, as well as those advanced equipment, which are highly confidential. Safety must be prioritized, and expansion is restricted. There are many workers from the former Taiyuan Arsenal. Work.

But if you set up a manufacturing plant outside, you can expand freely. Anyway, the machine gun production line does not need to be kept secret.

"I'll send someone to build the factory right away. You discuss the transfer plan with the master, and expand production by the way. If you need any equipment, tell me. I'll go to Boss Chen to get it."

A few days ago, several Devil bombers were shot down again, and all of them were on every plane. The amount of this batch of supplies was all used to replace machinery and equipment, which gave Zhao Gang the confidence to carry out this plan.

"Yes."

Sun Desheng nodded.

····
Taiyuan.

Gibbon was listening to the intelligence report from the captain of the flight squadron.

"From May No. 20 to June No. 20, the flight team carried out a total of [-] reconnaissance missions, [-] bombing missions, dispatched [-] reconnaissance planes, [-] bomber sorties, and dropped a total of [-] tons of bombs."

The captain's tone was full of frustration:
"Seven reconnaissance planes and ten bombers were lost, three of which crashed due to mechanical failure, and the pilot parachuted. The rest were all shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower of the independent regiment, and the pilots were all destroyed."

Although the aircraft has been supplemented, a total of fifty Type [-] dive bombers, and a large number of rookie pilots have also come.However, the Type [-] is too old, its performance is backward, its flying altitude is low after loading bombs, its speed is slow, and its maneuverability is poor. Facing the air defense firepower network of the independent regiment, the low-altitude bombs have a high probability of being shot down, and the high-altitude bombs are wasted in vain.

"The reconnaissance of the Independent Regiment continues, focusing on reconnaissance of its factory area. Let's suspend the bombing mission for now."

Gibbon sighed.

Although the opponent had obviously prepared for it long ago, when the houses were built, air-raid shelters were reserved, and even the houses built were either cave dwellings or simple masonry structures, but so far, bombing is the most effective method against the independent regiment.

However, the huge loss and the difficulty of replenishing the aircraft made it basically necessary to stop the bombing.

As a lieutenant general, Gibbon knew very well that the country was doing its best to deal with the threat of the U.S. Navy. In addition, the secret No. [-] combat plan was being prepared. Not to mention the replenishment of aircraft, even the large bombers originally promised to him were gone.

"Hi."

The flight captain let out a sigh of relief.

After the flight captain left, a staff officer came in:
"General, a telegram from Colonel Yamamoto."

"read."

Gibbon nodded:
"The fortification groups in Pan County and Ping'an County have been established, and the reorganization of the various brigades has been completed. It is expected to launch harassing attacks on July [-]."

"Currently, the Independent Regiment has begun mobilizing manpower to build the road from its base to Ping'an County. It is expected that three days later, that is, on July [-], it will be close to the area controlled by the imperial army."

The staff officer read the telegram.

"understood."

Gibbon smiled a little.

Things went exactly as expected, and Li Yunlong really planned to break through from Ping'an County, which reassured him a lot.

Not long after the staff officer left, the phone rang and it was Ningji Okamura, commander of the North China Front Army.

"Mr. Jiben, it has been investigated and confirmed that the attack on Zhangjiakou was carried out by Li Yunlong, and the Eighth Route Army also carried out extensive publicity, which made the base camp very angry about this. For this reason, the Garrison in Mongolia will send a regiment to help you eliminate Li Yunlong. Expected arrival in late August."

"Hi."

Yoshimoto Teiichi's smile became more intense.

·······
at the same time.

Peiping.

Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army Sanji Dachengto stepped into the train, planning to go to Taiyuan.

Also at the same time.

Zhao Jiayu.

Wang Gensheng, who had been idle for a long time, set off with his special team. In addition to a dozen team members, there were five big mules loaded with explosives. It looked like he was going to play a bomb attack with the devils.

But the difference is that on the back of the big mule, there are no wires, only a few wooden boxes, and a radio-like thing with a long antenna.

"Captain, this is..."

During the march, some team members couldn't help asking.

"Blow up the train..."

Wang Gensheng grinned:
"Then, try out the new equipment."

　Don't ask why you don't write about the perspective of political commissar Zhao's big farming, nor about the grassroots regime in the base area. With the scale of my golden finger, writing this thing is tantamount to courting death.

　　Then, explain that making a bolt-action gun from eight kilograms of steel is Zhang Wanhe's perspective, and it is also the real data of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal.
