Rise from the sword

Chapter 450 Little devils, you are out of date, my grandfather has stopped playing the old way!
End of June.

morning.

Zhao Gang's security guards drove him from the Zhaojiayu regiment headquarters to the explosives factory in the mountainous area on the right.

The hot summer sun was shining directly down, and even though it was still several hours before noon, the outside of the house was like a stove.

Fortunately, the road from Zhao Jiayu to the explosives factory is all compacted gravel roads. The speed of the three jumpers is very fast, and the driving skills of the guards are also very stable. The wind blows on the body and it is very cool.

In less than 10 minutes, Political Commissar Zhao approached the mountainous area where the explosives factory was located.

Continuing to follow the newly dug winding mountain road, Sanbengzi drove towards the main factory of the explosives factory. Along the way, he could already see many carts pulled by mules.

The cart is a new type of cart produced by Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory. It is in charge of pulling ordinary mules and transporting the raw materials or semi-finished products for producing explosives. These carts connect the various workshops of explosive factories scattered in the vast mountainous area.

Along the way, Political Commissar Zhao was in deep thought.

In order to avoid the bombing of the devils, the explosives factory divided the production line into ten steps, and then divided the ten steps into 87 small factories. These small factories are located in the mountains with a radius of five kilometers and are distributed along the winding mountain road.

Originally, he thought that this decentralized approach would reduce production efficiency and cause trouble in management.

It did at first.

The construction of 87 factories, the integration of production lines, the training of workers, and the lack of management personnel made him feel so worried that he almost lost his hair. If Zhang Wanhe hadn't sent dozens of chemical talents from the headquarters arsenal in time, or accompanied the explosives production line The technical manual in Chinese is detailed enough, covering both technical and management aspects, even with pictures and film teaching, and the mechanical master is really good, I am afraid that when the special team went to kill Benzhuang Fan, they would not even think about starting production .

The follow-up started production, and there were endless troubles and various problems. However, relying on detailed technical manuals and sufficient manpower, he and the dozens of chemical technology experts were able to solve them with difficulty.

When everything started to go on the right track and it became easier to deal with various problems, Zhao Gang suddenly discovered that this kind of production line arrangement actually had an unexpected benefit.

Scattered production lines can not only withstand explosions, but also resist accidents. If something goes wrong in one factory, it will not affect the overall production.At the same time, if a factory has a problem, after solving it, the experience gained during the period can also help other factories to make corresponding improvements.The factories compete with each other and strive for the upper reaches, which also effectively promotes the improvement of output and quality.

The technicians from the headquarters gradually understood the explosive technology, the workers became more and more proficient, and the management methods became more mature. Gradually, the more than 80 factories became smoother, and began to be like a whole machine, and the output was getting higher and higher. High, the quality is getting better and better.

From more than 100 kilograms per day to nearly one ton of explosives per day...

When Honzhuang Fan was killed, Boss Chen supported a master chemical engineer. As soon as the expert made a move, he knew whether there was any. After the master chemical master adjusted the production line for more than half a month, he solved dozens of production technical problems in the backlog. The output of the explosives factory was directly Soaring, as of today, the daily production capacity is four tons.

And it is expected that in the middle of next month, the output will increase sharply again.

Going through this process from the beginning to the end, and participating in it, greatly broadened Zhao Gang's vision, made him deeply moved, and benefited a lot.

"political commissar."

When we came to the cave-style general factory located in the rock wall, the person in charge came out to respond.

"How is the factory?"

Zhao Gang went straight to the point.

"Very smooth."

The person in charge said with joy, even with excitement:
"The new technical experts are very powerful. Not only have they solved all the technical problems, but they are also very good at management. The production line has been adjusted and is expected to reach ten tons per day from July [-]st."

"The follow-up will be relatively slow. We have to wait for the training of new workers before we can continue to improve."

"it is good."

Zhao Gang nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, the two chatted about other issues, and exchanged the problems and experiences encountered in the factory. Political Commissar Zhao left. Before leaving, he said to the person in charge:
"Starting from July [-]st, I will keep one ton of explosives in the warehouse every day and make them into small-sized explosive packages. I have other functions."

"Yes."

The person in charge directly agreed.

Ten tons of explosives per day has exceeded the troops' digestion capacity. The arsenal at the headquarters produces grenades and mortar shells, which can only digest up to six tons per day, leaving one ton easily.

Afterwards, Political Commissar Zhao continued to drive toward Ping'an County in the three-bouncer until he reached the end of the road and came to a place called Ge Village. At this time, Ge Village had already gathered a large group of people.

These people are dressed in relatively uniform clothing, and each of them is carrying tools, shovels, shovels, small carts, and shoulder poles.It is the construction brigade.

"political commissar."

As soon as I got out of the car, there was a man wearing a worn-out gray military cap with a map under his arm. A man in his forties came over and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Luo, is the surveying and mapping finished?"

Zhao Gang asked.

This forty-year-old man is a civil engineer supported by the headquarters. He once presided over highway construction abroad.

"finished."

Master Luo spread out the map on the seat of Sanbengzi's car, pointed to the lines on the map, and replied:

"There are three mountain horse roads from Gecun to Ping'an County, all of which are [-] kilometers away from the intersection point of Ping'an County roads, but only the middle one can pass carts. This road is easy to dig into and the amount of work is relatively small. The project can only be done on foot or by mules and horses, and the amount of work is very large.”

Engineering surveying and mapping is cumbersome and a huge workload, but with accurate and detailed hydrographic maps, it is much easier.

"How long will it take to widen the carriageway in the middle into a double carriageway that can pass ten-wheel trucks?"

Zhao Gang asked.

In the plan, Ping'an County will be the main gateway for the base to connect to the outside world, so the roads will naturally be of a high standard, able to accommodate the incoming tank troops to pass quickly.

"Dual lanes for ten-wheel trucks?"

Master Luo was a little surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he said:
"With the manpower of my brigade, it will take about half a year. The road is full of rocks, and two bridges have to be built in the middle. The project is very difficult."

Of course, he has seen that kind of ten-wheel truck, which looks very similar to a large American truck, but with more horsepower, a full 150 seven horsepower, and the diesel engine has a lot of torque, and the structure is incredibly strong, and it can carry ten tons on a flat road. can run, plus the self-weight of more than five tons, that is to say, this road needs to be able to accommodate [-] tons to pass at the same time.

"Half a year."

Zhao Gang frowned:
"Is there a way to speed it up?"

Half a year is too long.

"Give more manpower, use explosives on a large scale, and it's best to get a few engineering excavators and bulldozers."

Master Luo said without hesitation.

Then he added:
"I can drive these mechanical equipment myself, and I also contacted a few old guys from Chongqing to come over, and they all know how to drive mechanical equipment."

Although he has not been here for a long time, Master Luo has already fallen in love with it. Compared with the smoky government, this mountainous area centered on Zhao Jiayu has a poor foundation, but the atmosphere is much better. Everyone is full of passion for work and wholeheartedly. With practical work, occasionally some moths can be removed quickly. Under such circumstances, the speed of development is incredible.

In addition, the treatment is much better than the national government's legal currency. You can eat well, wear well, and even eat well.

"It's simple."

Zhao Gang immediately made a decision:

"I'll give you [-] road construction workers, [-] kilograms of explosives per day, and I'll find a solution for construction machinery."

Nearly a thousand young cadres from the Anti-Japanese University, under the semi-militarized management system, coupled with the few words of modern management heard from Boss Chen, the construction brigade under the charge of Zhao Gang is already on the right track, working with great enthusiasm and high efficiency.

"Twenty-five thousand people."

Master Luo, who was horrified by the big hand, swallowed his throat and said:
"Then it can be opened to traffic in two months at the earliest. If there are construction machinery, it can be faster."

"Try to build the road as strong as possible, the stronger the better."

Zhao Gang exhorted.

Just as Zhao Gang and Master Luo began to discuss road construction, on the road outside Gecun, Xu Husheng, the company commander of the first battalion and company, rushed towards Ping'an County with his company expanded to more than 600 people.

As a battalion and a company, at this time, the first company of the whole regiment is naturally equipped with new general-purpose machine guns. At the end of the team, there are six new 82 mortars.

·····
the next day.

early morning.

It's right next to the railway.

"Begin testing the wireless detonator signal."

Wang Gensheng held up his binoculars to look at the devil patrol on the distant railroad tracks, and ordered.

According to the latest instruction manual of the wireless detonator, it needs to be tested in every place, because the environment will affect the signal transmission distance of the detonator, trees, terrain, and even the magnetic field will have an impact.

Following his order, a soldier took down the huge wooden box on his back, and took out an iron box with an antenna, like a radio station.

Turn on the power switch, unfold the antenna, and probably the detonator button box, revealing a red button.

At the same time, another fighter with a fist-sized receiver ran 500 meters away to stand by.

The red button was pressed, and a few seconds later, the opposite soldier waved the chess piece in his hand. The meaning of the semaphore is very simple - there is a signal, no failure.

Then the soldier holding the receiver continued to run away, testing each distance, and finally stopped when he reached a distance of [-] kilometers, and here, the receiver still had a clear signal.

"One point six."

Wang Gensheng licked his lips:

"This thing is exciting!"

It was [-] kilometers. It was impossible to detonate with the pull rope before. As for the detonation of the wire, it is also very troublesome. Such a long wire is not light, and the railway is the territory of the devil. He has no time to recycle the wire afterwards, and the wire is not cheap.

In comparison, the fist-sized receiver is too cost-effective. Boss Chen is almost giving it away for free, and it is more concealed.

"superior."

Wang Gensheng waved his hand.

Taking advantage of the interval between the devils' patrol, he led people to bury four packs of [-] kilograms of explosives near the railway, one pack was close to the rails, and the other three packs were placed outside the rails, which is where the Devils' train was expected to overturn. Location.

After that, he connected the detonator and led the people away from the railway track to hide at a distance of [-] highway from the railway, quietly watching the distant railway track.

The sun was gradually rising, and insects were flying and birds were singing all around. As a special team, everyone was naturally patient, quietly waiting for the target to appear.

"Captain, look at the little devil..."

Suddenly, a member of the team holding a binoculars had a surprised tone.

Everyone looked around and found that about a brigade of devils was advancing along the railway line in a carpet search, spreading as far as one kilometer around the railway line.

"This posture..."

Wang Gensheng narrowed his eyes:

"There are big fish!"

Although the devils attached great importance to railway safety, they were not to the extent of sending a large-scale carpet search. There was only one possibility for such abnormal actions.

A devil and a big fish are coming, and the devil has stepped up his vigilance.

The crowd was instantly refreshed.

"Pay attention to concealment, don't let the devils find out."

Wang Gensheng reminded.

The rest of the team members were also very conscious, concealing their bodies one after another and blending into the environment. Over the past three years, intensive actual combat has made the special team at this time more mature, especially in the area of ​​concealment, which has reached its peak.

Far away, on the railway.

A devil captain shouted:

"Keep your eyes wide open and check carefully. Fresh traces on the ground, overturned soil, and moved stones. Focus on checking these places. If you find any abnormalities, dig directly to check whether there are wires."

"Don't miss a single trace."

The new chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Sanji Oshiroto, is coming soon. Considering the lessons learned by Miyano Doichi, Yoshimoto did not dare to be careless at all, and ordered all localities to strengthen vigilance and send special personnel to supervise.

Fighting against the Independence Regiment for so long, the First Army has also accumulated a wealth of experience. Naturally, it is clear that the Independence Regiment has special teams that often attack and ambush Imperial officers. It is also known that the Independence Regiment has recently developed a method of detonating landmines with wires.

Knowing the enemy's means, it is natural to be very prepared.

Explosives are highly concealed, and a single burial point can be handled very concealed and is not easy to find.

However, the long wires need to be buried underground, and the distance also makes it impossible to completely remove the traces of burial, which can be easily found only by careful inspection along the railways and roads.

"Hey hey..."

Looking at those busy devils in the grass, Wang Gensheng grinned:
"Little devil, you are outdated. I don't play the old tricks anymore."

After the devil left, after a while, a section of black smoke rising into the sky appeared in Wang Gensheng's sight on the railway in the distance.
