Bright Sword: Hosting the independent regiment, all become special forces

Chapter 262 Zhang Wanhe is the person in charge of the arsenal?

"Regimental Commander, there is good news. The person in charge of the arsenal is Zhang Wanhe, Minister Zhang, from our 386 brigade Shuilaozi arsenal!"

When Zhang Wei heard this, he smiled: "Since we are old acquaintances, it's easy to handle. Hasn't the arsenal already started production? I'll go find him to get something."

Xing Zhiguo smiled: "I don't know what's going on at this time, most of the time I can only do some landmines or construction in the border areas, and I will go there as soon as possible. Is there something bad about it?"

"It's not so particular. Don't we still have a batch of clothes from the devils and puppet soldiers? Just send them to him on the way. I guess most of the quilt factories are also nearby."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, seeing that Xing Zhiguo had some doubts, he explained on his own.

"Looking at Xiaonangou from the map, there are continuous mountains on both sides, and a small river about ten meters wide to the east."

"There are a large number of oak forests in the west, mountains in the north, which is also the hinterland of the base, and a large open land in the south, which is also reclaimed farmland. However, more than 50 kilometers to the south is the site of the Jinsui Army, the nearest Japanese-occupied area , also seventy kilometers away."

Xing Zhiguo nodded: "The location of the arsenal is really good, it is secret enough and safe enough, but if the Jinsui Army."

Zhang Wei smiled: "As long as they dare, we have a reason to attack them. I have long been tired of these sons of bitches."

Xing Zhiguo chuckled: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. If you want to go, I will arrange it in advance. It will take at least two days to go back and forth!"

Zhang Wei nodded and thought about it carefully: "There is nothing wrong with the troops at the moment. I'll go and see if I can get something back. The Special Third Regiment hasn't come back yet. When they come back, the Cavalry Regiment should be there for two days today and tomorrow." When I came back the next day, after the Special Third Regiment came back, I took out two companies and went to Xiaocaozhuang stronghold for renovation, ready to be put into use again.”

"If the cavalry regiment comes back before I leave, forget it. If you come after me, you can entertain them first, and then resume training first. For the rest, wait until I come back!"

"Success, let's do this first!"

Zhang Wei moved quickly, calling out to the monk: "Go, find the first battalion's baggage transportation battalion, draw two companies out, and let Duan Peng go with me at the same time."

"okay."

The monk nodded and went out quickly. The troops gathered quickly and hardly spread out.

After all, in a county, the troops cannot be dispersed anywhere.

Soon the supply company Zhang came to Zhang Wei: "Report to the chief, the third company leader of the supply transportation battalion, Bean Cake, will report to you!"

Zhang Wei took a closer look, isn't this the one in the group leader?

He forgot when it was drawn out, but he didn't expect to become a company commander.

Zhang Wei still asked, "You kid, don't you have a surname?"

Bean Cake grinned: "No, we don't know who our parents are. We grew up eating hundreds of family meals. We only know that they are from Baoding, Hebei."

Zhang Wei nodded: "From now on, you will have the same surname as Lao Tzu, and your surname will be Zhang, and you will be called Zhang Doubing!"

"Yes! Thank you, Captain!"

Douban smiled, looking silly, Zhang Wei felt distressed for a while, mother, he is only 19 years old now.

Being able to become a company commander, the promotion of the special column has always been a substitute system, which means that the company commander is killed, and the promotion is gradually passed down.

If he was the only one left when they died in that company, then Doubing would become the company commander.

If the platoon leader dies in battle, the veteran squad leader will automatically replace him as the platoon leader. This situation also existed alone in the previous special column.

Now Zhang Wei has engaged in the training of grassroots cadres, also to avoid the previous situation.

Although it is a transportation mission, the soldiers are also fully armed to avoid any problems during the journey.

In this broken place in the southeast of Shanxi, there are also a large number of bandits and some gentry bullies.

Soldiers of some local troops were transporting supplies before, and were intercepted after passing through some villages.

They asked for tolls, because the mules and horse-drawn carriages "crushed" their main road. In the end, the chief officer at the regiment level came forward to pay the compensation before getting the supplies back.

But the follow-up is more interesting. This village offended the Japanese in the same way, and in the subsequent raids.
The village no longer exists.

The company that set off with Zhang Wei did not have military uniforms either
It's just that wearing the military cap of the Eighth Route Army is indeed a newcomer after all, and Zhang Wei can't do it if he has the liberty to go to other people's clothing factories in the border area to ask for things.

Xing Zhiguo used to work in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei. Although this is a unit in name, there are no old comrades in arms.

He is not a thick-skinned person either. If it were Li Yunlong, there would be no problem.

But neither of them is this kind of person, so they have been delayed. Fortunately, the comrades of the Women's Rescue Society in the station are very helpful. At least there is no problem with the supply of military caps.

Along the way, Zhang Wei chatted with the soldiers to learn about their current situation.

Duan Peng and others opened the way ahead. After all, Duan Peng originally worked as a reconnaissance company, so they had no choice but to become the guard platoon leader again.

Zhang Wei saw that these soldiers had nothing to say, and the occasional naughty jokes could make the monk laugh out loud.

The mental state is not bad, and the level of training is not bad. At least the ten-kilometer march did not show the soldiers complaining about suffering or being tired.

It seems that even the recruits of the logistics transport battalion, the physical fitness of the soldiers can catch up with the level of the general main force regiment.

During the day, they stopped and went, started fires and cooked food, and the speed was still very fast. In the evening, after passing through the camps of three friendly regiments, they arrived at the camp of the Xiaonangou Arsenal.

Many technicians in the arsenal knew Zhang Wei's identity, and soon rushed into the factory area and called the person in charge.

However, the first one to come out was not Zhang Wanhe as Zhang Wei thought, but that Soviet man - Ivanovic.

"Oh! My old friend, we won't see each other for at least half a year, I miss you so much!"

The Soviet translator next to him translated it in a mocking tone.

Zhang Wei also greeted him with a smile and gave him a big hug.

This group of Soviet iron men can do it, and they can deal with it.Because of them, the arsenal has trained more skilled workers and technicians.

It's a pity that language is a problem after all, even if Xing Zhiguo had mobilized cadres to learn Russian before.

But he couldn't learn it himself, let alone other soldiers and cadres.

To put it simply, learning a bird's feather has completely become a situation. Of course, there are very few fighters with better language talents.

The learning speed is relatively fast, and it can also act as a temporary translator.

"Nice to meet you, comrade, it's a pity that we were driven here by the enemy from the Xiaowangzhuang area!"

While the two were chatting, Long Wenwen rushed over from elsewhere: "Leader!"

Zhang Wei smiled: "You boy, now you've become a group leader, that's great!"

Long Wenwen smiled awkwardly: "Head, don't laugh at me. I was just lucky. I made meritorious service when guarding the headquarters before. It happened that the original head died in battle, so I became the head of the guard. .”

"You don't know, my partner, who cares about this and that every day, is uncomfortable. Why don't you go back with you and be a battalion commander for you!"

Zhang Wei smiled: "Letting you be the team leader is because the organization trusts you, so don't be ignorant!"

"What are these? Are they all the clothes of puppet soldiers and devils? Have you guys been fighting again recently?"

Zhang Wei smiled: "It's nothing, there is only a devil's stronghold around, and some gun towers and so on. Now that it is resolved, except for the Ninth Mixed Brigade stationed in the south, there is no threat to the others."

"The devils in Taiyuan County are mainly on guard against the northwestern side of Shanxi."

Zhang Wanhe also came out soon, and his hearty laughter was heard from a long distance: "Oh, Captain Zhang, you are here, so welcome!"

"Minister Zhang, hell, didn't I come to ask you for help?"

Zhang Wanhe smiled and said, "Is there anything else you, Commander Zhang, need my help with? Just ask, and I'll give you an approval note for as much equipment as you want, and you can get it directly!"

As soon as Zhang Wei heard this, he immediately said, "Then give me two hundred "Iron Fist" assault bombs, two hundred fragmentation bullets for personnel, fifty boxes of grenades, five hundred victory submachine guns, and bullets. Let’s start with 20 rounds, by the way, if you are rich enough to have light machine guns, give me [-] first, let’s forget about heavy machine guns, we don’t like to use them!”

Zhang Wanhe heard it: "Stop, stop, head Zhang, you are really a fucking lion! Now production has just resumed, and many materials are missing. I want to give you so many things, but there is no ah!"

"However, the "Green Bee" semi-automatic rifle you gave us before has produced a lot, and the bullets are also Mauser rifle ammunition, which is good for supplies. In this way, I will give you 5 pieces of Green Bee, with 200W bullets. 3 pieces, 20W bullets, grenades, [-] boxes for you, and [-] boxes made in the border area, how about it?"

As soon as Zhang Wei heard it, he immediately became unhappy: "I said, Lao Zhang, just now he said to speak as soon as possible, and to respond to requests? Why are you so stingy all of a sudden? Do you have an iron fist?"

Zhang Wanhe smiled, and greeted several people into the courtyard for a detailed chat.

Zhang Wei also signaled to Duan Peng and Zhang Doubing to follow the soldiers to send the cloth and the broken weapons over first.

"It's not what it used to be. Our base area is also in a difficult period. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but it's really not there now."

"No, look, there are still a lot of equipment in the arsenal, but you have to know that many of our medium and large equipment were directly blown up."

"There is no time to transfer it. Let alone Iron Fist now, there is no way to manufacture anti-aircraft guns. We lack manufacturing equipment."

Ivanovic interjected: "No way, even my motherland is now mired in the quagmire of war, and there is no news to confirm that they will help us with more machinery and equipment again."

Zhang Wei sighed: "Damn, don't worry about this, let me tell you, Minister Zhang, what do you lack now, I'll find a way for you, as much as you can get, and ah, I don't do it for nothing, Even in the southeast of Shanxi, all weapons and equipment must be given priority to our special column!"

Zhang Wanhe laughed after hearing this: "Don't worry, the chief has explained it on purpose. Even if he didn't explain it, I will give you the best for Zhang Wei's sake."

"Well, later on, you will approve me another thousand sets of new military uniforms and bedding, and I will take them back. If possible, I will give you some more. I have been pouring out private salt recently, and I can earn a lot if I do it well. The army has expanded."

Zhang Wanhe nodded: "I have heard about this matter, saying that there is a unit under the chief who is actually doing this business. The chief of the base here seems to be a little dissatisfied with your actions. You Be careful."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and didn't take it seriously: "I really think we can't do this. Let's pat our ass and go back to Northwest Shanxi. If we didn't let us stay where we are, we would have gone back a long time ago!"

"You, don't be dissatisfied. Now that the arsenal is here, that's what the headquarters mean. Good steel must be used on the blade. Otherwise, why do you think you are allowed to fight in the southeast of Shanxi?"

"Of course the good things should be used by your main force. You see, the guard group commanded by Captain Long is not as well equipped with weapons as you. You are the first team that only needs to be equipped with green bee semi-automatic rifles."

The Qingfeng semi-automatic rifle is actually a magically modified version of the SKS semi-automatic rifle Zhang Wei drew before.

Known as the Green Bee, mass production has now begun.

"You kid is really a genius. Even comrades in the Soviet Union are full of praise for this thing!"

After listening to the translation, Ivanovic also interrupted: "I have to say, Zhang, my friend, if you are a weapon designer, then you must be an unprecedented genius!"

Zhang Wei smiled irrefutably, he wanted to see the weapon even more at this time.

Zhang Wanhe and others, along with Ivanovic and Long Wenwen, accompanied some soldiers on duty in the arsenal and some workers who did not know Zhang Wei to whisper.

"Which head of the base area is this? Or from the headquarters?"

"This style is really impressive, with so many leaders accompanying me!"

"You don't know each other? No wonder? If you buy me a drink, I'll tell you!"

"Come on, Master Sun, just talk about it! We really haven't seen this before!"

The two little soldiers hurriedly rubbed the shoulders and legs of Master Sun who was resting: "He, the common name is Little God of War."

"What? Still a little God of War? Why is this name so silly?"

Master Sun laughed: "Well, we started it ourselves. In fact, he is the commander of the special forces, that is, Zhang Wei!"

"Zhang Wei? Good guy, no wonder! No wonder Minister Zhang and the others value him so much!"

"That's right, he also provided you with ideas for improving border areas, which effectively reduces your workload and allows you to still have time to chat with me here!"

The two little soldiers giggled: "That's why today's production task has been completed, not to mention that the two of us are still staying and working overtime voluntarily."

While the three of them were talking, Zhang Wei and the others came to the production plant built in the border area, which was actually a small workshop with three entrances and three courtyards.

Master Sun hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Hello, chiefs!"

"Old Sun, go rest, it's been a busy day!"

Master Sun chuckled: "The soldiers are fighting the devils in the front, and they may lose their lives at any time. What is my hard work? I will take these two little boys to another class at night to try to give birth to one more baby." Get out of the box!"

Zhang Wei looked at the border area factory that had finished production and was waiting for the installation of fuzes.

Because of the current shortage of pig iron and high-quality iron, the border area has returned to its original pitted appearance.

Fortunately, there will be no thunder in the palm due to problems such as fuzes.

And after having the production capacity of smokeless gunpowder, the frontier area will not be blown in half as follows.

But after all, the production of smokeless gunpowder is not enough, and it is also given priority to the artillery unit. When it comes to the production of wooden handle grenades, not many are allocated.

This is also the reason why Zhang Wanhe said before that he gave extra hand grenades made in the border area.

The additional gift of the border area is an improved version of the border area filled with black tiger medicine.

The wooden handle grenade produced from this arsenal is much stronger than the previous Jin made wooden handle.

Zhang Wei took a brief look, and then went directly to Zhang Wanhe's logistics warehouse. He wanted to see how much stock the arsenal had now.
