Rise from the sword

Chapter 464 How is this possible!And, to intensify.

During the battle in the mountains on the front line.

At the rear of the base, Political Commissar Zhao walked into the machinery factory.

Today's Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory has developed greatly compared to three months ago.

The installed capacity of steam power generation converted from a locomotive exceeds [-] kilowatts, which fully meets the power consumption of the machinery factory. By the way, electric lights are connected to the regiment headquarters. The explosives factory is also preparing, and the daily output of electric furnace steelmaking exceeds [-]. tons, and the preliminary metal processing capacity has also reached [-] tons per day, which is the same as the output of steel products.

However, due to the problem of raw materials, it is impossible to start the work at full capacity. After all, collecting an average of more than [-] tons of scrap steel per day is completely impossible for today's Northwest Shanxi.

The production line of the gun factory on the other side has also been debugged and officially put into production. It can produce more than [-] sets of machine gun parts every day. When the problems of the skilled workers are solved, the production capacity can be further increased in the future.

and.

With more and more technical talents mobilized from all over the country, the army continues to mobilize.

And Boss Chen's strong support - providing rare metal additives, when sending food or weapons and ammunition, occasionally irregularly giving some advanced machinery and equipment for free, technical support and personnel training from six masters.

The development speed of Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory is getting faster and faster, and the technical level is getting higher and higher.

At the beginning of August, after the new [-]-ton electric furnace was installed, it was used to test the production capacity, hone the skills of the workers, and test the technology for the planned shell production line.

According to the Guizi [-]-style mountain gun paper given by Boss Chen, and under the guidance of the master, the machinery factory successfully trial-produced five guns and three base shells after a month.

The five cannons have been tested and are of excellent quality, no different from those of the Devils.

But because it is not as good as Bofors of Boss Chen, after all, the range of the Devil [-] is only more than six kilometers, so it was sent to the brigade headquarters.

"political commissar."

Seeing Zhao Gang coming, Sun Desheng, the director of the machinery factory, came out to greet him.

"Captain Sun."

Zhao Gang is used to calling Sun Desheng the battalion commander.

Looking at Sun Desheng in overalls, Zhao Gang always felt strange.

This former Shi Yousan's subordinate, who followed Li Yunlong at the beginning of the new regiment, did not have a high level of education when he first joined the independent regiment. He only knew everyday words, that is, the level of elementary school.

When I first came, I didn't study hard, and my level in the regiment was average. It was only three years ago that I made up my mind to study cultural knowledge seriously.

But it is unbelievable that in just over a year, I was able to read a book independently, and it was a mechanical professional book, and understand the knowledge in the book, comparable to ordinary high school graduates.Especially after the master came, under the guidance of the master, his level gradually increased. Up to now, his mechanical knowledge is no less than that of any college student with this major.

In just three years, while taking into account combat missions and army training, elementary school students are not as good as today's novice mechanical engineers.And this guy is still training with the tank troops, while organizing the management and work of the machinery factory, grasping with both hands, nothing went wrong.

It made Zhao Gang instinctively feel that it was unbelievable.

What's even weirder is that such examples are not uncommon in the independent regiment.

Monk, Wang Xikui, Cao Mantang, Huang Baowang, Shen Quan, Yansheng... all of them have a very high cultural level now, the minimum is high school graduation level, and the depth of some professional knowledge is comparable to an ordinary master's degree.

For example, Huang Baowang, as the person in charge of logistics material management, relying on a lot of statistical books, he often consults the chemical masters of the explosives factory. He has an extremely keen numerical intuition. Question, where did the moth appear.

It's the same as his real college student.

Even Li Yunlong, who just started studying hard recently, has more and more ink in his stomach, and he can chat with him back and forth with a book.

This group of people seems to have no barriers to knowledge and understanding. As long as they come step by step, without skipping learning, they can master any basic knowledge.

This is not common sense.

Those super top talents he met in Yanjing University, the guys who have made a big name abroad, are just this learning talent.There are only a dozen of that kind of people over the years.And there are a lot of them in the independent group.

Fortunately, this is a good thing.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhao Gang expressed his thoughts:
"Now, do we have the ability to produce a complete set of railway facilities?"

At present, there is a huge demand for transport capacity in the base area.

Not only the food that Boss Chen's Wandu started, more and more weapons and equipment, but also dozens of tons of scrap steel consumed by machinery factories every day, and a large amount of coal consumed by generators.

Now relying on big mules to pull new-style carts, and a large number of people can still support it.

But according to the current speed of development, another half a year will definitely not be enough, no matter how many people there are, it will be useless.

Although the size of the transportation team is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more big mules, the growth of the two sides is completely out of proportion. Moreover, the big mules mainly equip troops, and the troops are also expanding rapidly.

It is unrealistic to rely on Boss Chen's car.

Although the transportation capacity of the car is strong, it needs repair and maintenance by people who operate the machinery. In the future, the army plans to equip a large number of cars, so Zhao Gang immediately thought of the train.

The transport capacity of trains is greater than that of cars, but the technical difficulty is lower.

Talent is also easy to find, and there are many workers in the base area who have worked on the railway before.

"But yes, not to mention steel rails, we can manufacture even locomotives. These two things are very simple and there is no difficulty. The information book given by Boss Chen contains a complete set of design drawings and manufacturing data."

Sun Desheng spread his arms, and said in a regretful tone:

"But we don't have enough steel."

"Even the light rail, together with supporting facilities, consumes a lot of steel. Now our production is insufficient, and the machinery factory has to expand the production of machine guns and some machinery and equipment. There is no room for it."

He had thought about this matter a long time ago, studied it, and consulted the master. At present, the base of the independent regiment has enough technology, but there is no such condition.

"I know this."

Of course Zhao Gang knew that there was not enough steel in the regiment, so he asked:

"If there is enough steel, can it be produced?"

"can."

Sun Desheng nodded:
"There is no problem."

"Then you and the master chef in the factory will prepare."

Zhao Gang went on to say:

"I plan to build [-] light rails between the unloading area, warehouses, machinery factory, Dadongzhuang, Zuojiapu, and Gecun, and use double lines between the unloading area and warehouses, and between warehouses and machinery factories to increase transportation capacity. "

Sun Desheng fell into deep thought.

The unloading area is the regiment's name for Boss Chen's delivery place, which is classified as a military restricted area and guarded by air defense troops and reinforcement companies.The warehouse group is the place where materials are stored in the base area, and there are a large number of hidden cave warehouses.Dadongzhuang has Xinertuan's breeding farm and open-pit coal mine.Zuojiabao is the base of the Xinyi Regiment, and there are many military collective farms there.Gecun is the starting point of the Pingan County Highway.

Linking these places with light rail is a great thing for the base area.

Fifteen light rails are tracks that weigh fifteen kilograms per meter.

The light rail has relatively low requirements on the foundation. The ground can be laid with a little leveling and sleepers. The construction is fast. If there is a foundation, it can easily lay more than ten kilometers a day. The carrying capacity is much higher than that of a horse-drawn cart, which can fully meet the needs of the base area.

The only problem is...

"political commissar."

Sun Desheng said, with a look of embarrassment on his face:

"These places are all connected, about 320 kilometers. All of them use 3000 light rails, including spikes, and more than [-] tons of steel are needed. This does not count the transport carriages and tractor heads."

Even if the raw materials are sufficient, 130 tons of steel, it will take [-] days for the machinery factory to go all out.Although the production capacity is still increasing and the processing capacity is also increasing, the problem is that there are not enough raw materials.

Unless, the head of the group fights out and picks up the Zhengtai Railway.

"We actually have enough steel."

Zhao Gang smiled and said:

"You forgot about the tank business."

"Tank business?"

Sun Desheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized:

"You mean, made of steel inside reinforced concrete?"

Boss Chen’s business, every time a devil is killed, he will give the independent regiment a ton of reinforced concrete, of which steel accounts for [-]% and cement accounts for [-]%. batch balance.

Since the start of the business, including those who killed the Devil's warships, there have been almost [-] tons, of which nearly [-] tons of steel.Moreover, in the latest tank business, after killing [-] devils, each devil will add ten tons of reinforced concrete during the business period, which is also fast.

In this way, it is indeed enough.

"Correct."

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Boss Chen said that he can also help with light processing of steel bars. I will ask if it can be directly made into fifteen rails, which can save a lot of trouble."

"Is it still possible?"

Sun Desheng was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it, and it seemed to be really good.

Steel rails are also steel bars!
"I'll discuss it with the master and technicians immediately."

Sun Desheng immediately started to act.

Today, in addition to more than 500 workers, Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory also has a technical team of more than 200 people.

······
at the same time.

The [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is stationed.

"Team seat."

Fang Ligong walked in:
"Mr. Yan's headquarters came to order us to send the workers from the former Taiyuan Iron and Steel Factory who were staying at our regiment's headquarters to the 772nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and let us escort the fifteen college students who came from Peking."

"Send them all?"

Chu Yunfei frowned.

As a far-sighted commander, Chu Yunfei began to consciously collect scattered former Taiyuan Arsenal workers and talents after the station was stabilized, hoping to recast the old Taiyuan Arsenal one day.

For such a long time, he has collected quite a lot, and he has reported it to Chief Yan. How could he give it to others for no reason?

"They will exchange three 240-type mountain guns and [-] shells."

Fang Ligong continued.

"Three [-]-style mountain cannons! Three base shells."

Chu Yunfei frowned.

The workers he collected did not have any high-level technical personnel. The price was very high. No wonder Chief Yan would agree.

"The members of the 772 regiment are already outside, and the cannon and ammunition have also been brought."

Fang Ligong continued.

"it is good."

Chu Yunfei nodded and agreed to the exchange.

A few hours later, Chu Yunfei took Fang Ligong back to the regiment headquarters, and the accompanying guard platoon also brought three 200-style mountain cannons and more than [-] shells.

"Good new artillery."

When he walked into the regiment headquarters, Chu Yunfei discovered that the Type [-] mountain cannon was very new, as if it had just left the factory.

Fang Ligong knocked on the cannon barrel, and said in a crisp voice:
"The quality of the four-one gun steel is very good, and the rifling is very standard. We can't produce such a good mountain gun by ourselves. It should be the captured devils."

Fang Ligong is also an old man of the Jinsui Army. He has seen the most glorious time of the Jinsui Army. At that time, the Taiyuan Arsenal could produce cannons, but the quality of steel was not as good as that of foreign countries, and the processing technology was also poor.

"However, this cannon is a bit different from what we have seen before."

At the same time, Fang Ligong noticed the strangeness. The [-]-style mountain artillery in front of him was slightly different from the Japanese army's. Simply put, it didn't have the style made by the little devil.

"These three cannons have probably been out of the factory for less than two months."

After touching the barrel, Chu Yunfei also noticed something strange.

The [-]-type mountain cannon is easy to produce, but its performance is relatively poor. The little devil has not produced it for a long time. How can there be such a new one?

"Maybe it's a previous ballast?"

Fang Ligong speculated, and then he looked at the inscription engraved next to the gun mount:

"There are inscriptions here, and the devil cannons will be numbered when they leave the factory."

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong looked together, and saw the engraved inscription next to the cannon mount that read—produced by Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory.

The expressions of the two of them froze.

Without hesitation, the two continued to look at the other two mountain cannons, rummaged through the inscriptions on the cannon mounts, and saw the same Chinese characters—produced by Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory.

"Such a high-quality mountain cannon... how is this possible."

Fang Ligong's murmurs were full of disbelief.

It is not difficult to manufacture the [-]-type mountain cannon, but the quality of the steel is so high and the rifling is so exquisite that he cannot believe it, but the inscription in front of him and the fineness of the cannon make him believe it.

Chu Yunfei fell into a long silence.

······
the other side.

After Zhao Gang left the machinery factory, he came to the warehouse group.

A two-lane road extending in all directions connects a group of hills, and one by one, large cave-style and covered brick-house-style warehouses are located among these mountains.

This is the warehouse group of the independent regiment, which stores a large amount of food supplies, weapons and equipment, ammunition, and fuel.

Sanbengzi drove all the way in, and around you could see a large number of people from the construction brigade building new warehouses, some of which were built with reinforced concrete.

Recently, Boss Chen has given too many supplies, and the warehouse can't hold them at all. The independent group can only frantically expand the warehouse and let Boss Chen deliver the goods in batches.At the same time, some plans have been implemented more, and the consumption of materials has also increased.

"political commissar."

Walking to a house in the center, Huang Baowang came out to greet him.

"What's the current situation of the materials in the warehouse going out of the warehouse?"

Zhao Gang asked.

Huang Baowang is in charge of logistics supplies. After ordinary people get food coupons, they can exchange them for food supplies at corresponding prices through the exchange point in front of the warehouse group.Fine grains, coarse grains, bacon, canned meat, and even sugar can be exchanged.

After the tank business, the food quota can be exchanged for sugar.

"Last week."

Huang Baowang took out his statistical form:

"A total of [-] tons of refined grains, [-] tons of various coarse grains, [-] tons of meat, and [-] tons of sugar."

"So much sugar?"

Zhao Gang frowned, and took over a thick stack of statistical forms.

Northwest Shanxi is inherently barren, and the food produced is completely insufficient, so the base area itself consumes a lot of food.

Nearly 1 troops, more than the construction brigade of the North China Front Army of the Devils, a transportation brigade of more than [-] people, workers in dozens of factories, collective farms, and mines, all of which need to provide food from the base area, almost [-] tons of food every day.

Under the organization of Boss Chen and the active propaganda of the army, a large number of victims flooded into the base area, especially in Yu Province, which suffered from famine in recent years. After the army opened up the passage reasonably, several regiments came in every day.Through work for relief, these ordinary people were organized to repair water conservancy facilities and open up wasteland, but they also needed to be provided by Zhao Jiayu’s base area, which was the largest food consumption.
To support other base areas, the people in the base areas exchanged for food stamps.

There are also those who feed big mules, thousands of big mules, and a large number of ordinary mules, as well as free-range chickens and ducks, which consume a lot.

It is normal to consume so much food out of the warehouse in a week.

However, more than 3000 tons of white sugar were also released from the warehouse, which was somewhat beyond Zhao Gang's expectations. Boss Chen's side of this product is one-to-one for fine grains, but the warehouse in the base area is selling very, very, very expensive.

"Political commissar, next time you can exchange more sugar for more. This thing is very popular, and it is very suitable for recycling food stamps (funds)."

Huang Baowang's tone was excited.

The base area uses food coupons as wages, and then recycles the food and materials to mobilize the manpower of the entire base area, forming a virtuous circle. Before that, the weekly food consumption was very large. Since white sugar appeared in the list, the food consumption has dropped sharply.

"it is good."

Zhao Gang naturally knew why the white sugar was being exchanged for.

Boss Chen has white granulated sugar in sealed packaging, which is of good quality and has a long shelf life, but it is in short supply. The ones sold in the Guofu and Devil-occupied areas are dozens of times more expensive than the fine grains.With several times the profit, some people will naturally go crazy.

He is also happy to see it succeed.

This is a good thing for the Zhaojiayu base area. It can form a good economic cycle and help materials flow into the base area.

Food stamps are mainly issued to troops and construction brigades. Those merchants who want to obtain food stamps, or let the common people exchange sugar for purchase, generally need to come up with something that satisfies the common people.

As for the use of violence or deceit, hum!

Now is the time of war.

More importantly, the devils are also vigorously collecting white sugar. Most of these supplies will go to the devils. Coupled with the food they get, the little devils will increase their efforts when they taste enough sweetness. Then, the independent group will earn money. more.

"Also, there are also exchange points for coarse grains. People in the base area like to exchange coarse grains, and fine grains are not very popular."

Huang Baowang continued:
"The quality of coarse grains that Boss Chen gave recently is also better than before."

"There is no gravel in it, so you don't need to sift it before eating. Although granular products are not 01:30 worse than hardcover fine grains, and there are no cotton moisture-proof packaging bags, they can be cooked and eaten directly, and you will have strength when you are full."

One ton of grain quota can be exchanged for one ton of fine grains, or four tons of coarse grains.

Huang Baowang can only feel in his heart that Boss Chen is generous,

The coarse grains mixed with sand in the past can be understood, but the current coarse grains, rice bran and wheat bran are only about [-]%, and the color is good after sifting out. Four to one is a blood loss.

"Corn is the best deal."

Huang Baowang added.

Although I am a little afraid that Boss Chen will lose money, the more food the better.

Coarse corn grains have no impurities, they are all corn grains. Although the grains are not full and have pits and holes, they are completely fine to eat, especially for big mules, which is very cost-effective.

"it is good."

Zhao Gang nodded.

The common people's requirement for food is to be full, especially those who have escaped from the famine, and this is especially true in their hearts, so they are naturally reluctant to eat fine grains.

"You check the No.90 Seventh Farm carefully. There is a problem with the consumption of meat here."

After roughly flipping through the statistical list in his hand, Political Commissar Zhao narrowed his eyes and said suddenly.

"Yes."

After receiving the list and carefully looking at it for a long time, Huang Baowang discovered the problem and was shocked.

It is worthy of being a political commissar, a college student, but it is different.

He read it several times before but didn't post it.

At this point, Huang Baowang thought of one thing.

Speaking of which, in the past few years, the level of cultural knowledge of the political commissar has really become deeper and deeper.Data statistics, chemical engineering, and machinery can be learned quickly and are relatively proficient.

······
the same day.

The fourth position of the Japanese army.

After the biggest battle in two months, Yamamoto and Kosa came to the front line together.

"How about the casualties?"

Came to the front line, Yamamoto asked suddenly.

"Preliminary statistics."

The accompanying staff officer opened the folder in his hand:
"520 people were broken, 97 people were missing, and 510 people were slightly or seriously injured."

Hearing the data, Jiazuo immediately wiped his forehead.

The casualties were too great.

In this attack, most of the troops that have been honed in actual combat are used. Only one-third of the recruits are recruited, and the tactics have also been targeted. The formation of the troops is very open, but the total casualties are still over a thousand. It's more than a brigade.

Fortunately, two-thirds of Yu Sui are recruits.

Yamamoto did not continue this topic, but looked at the supplies piled up in a bunker.

This is what was seized.

An elite squadron leader of his special squad broke through a position of the Independent Regiment and seized some supplies stored on the position - some canned meat and a few bags of white sugar.

Yamamoto suddenly changed the topic:
"Continue to strengthen the forward positions, focus on strengthening the protection against mortars, and strengthen the flat-fire firepower."

Yamamoto's vision was vicious, and he could tell at a glance that it was these machine gun fortresses that were mainly strengthened against mortars that prevented the Independence Regiment from continuing to attack.

"Hi."

Several captains on the front line bowed their heads one after another.

The two then inspected the mountain artillery unit and the long-range cannon unit, greatly praised the long-range artillery unit, and took the captured sugar and canned meat as rewards.

In the end, the two returned to the headquarters of Ping'an County, and the staff who had been waiting here for a long time began to report immediately:
"In the past half a month, we have obtained [-] tons of refined packaged rice and white flour, [-] tons of bulk coarse grains, and [-] tons of refined packaged white sugar through purchases and other means."

"Yo Xi."

"Yo Xi."

Yamamoto and Kosashi Shinji applauded together.

Ever since they started to infiltrate the Independent Regiment at night, more and more supplies have flowed out of the base area of ​​the other side. Recently, even white sugar has flowed out in large quantities.This shows that the imperial army's attack has greatly affected the internal management of the independent regiment's base.

"Transport all the white sugar to Peiping."

Yamamoto's words are full of power.

White granulated sugar is urgently needed and in short supply in the empire. With this batch, they will surely be able to get more reinforcements for the First Army.

Afterwards, Yamamoto and Kozuo looked at each other, and a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time.

It is necessary to intensify efforts to launch a more violent attack on the independent regiment.

　The update will be a little later tonight.
