The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

The number of trains heading to the freight station at the Red Star Factory began to increase visibly.

A steady stream of bulletproof vests are packed and shipped out. At this stage, they are mainly supplied in the south. They are shipped out as many as they are made every day. Even if it is for two groups, they have to be sent out on the same day.

The bulletproof vests over there, the grille armor in the west and northeast, plus products with other indicators have been discovered by everyone who pays attention.

After switching to military industry, it didn’t take long for the Red Star Factory to gradually adapt to this efficient pace.

Not only are goods being shipped out continuously, freight trains transporting raw materials are also running one after another. Today, the people at the freight station discovered that a large amount of cargo had arrived at the factory.

"All drivers in the Transportation Department do not need to go out today. Ask them to wait at the freight station~!"

The atmosphere in the Transport Department today is rather tense, unlike in the past. After receiving a notice from the factory office, the MCA dispatch station pressed down all the dispatch orders for today's vehicles.

In the driver's lounge downstairs in the Transportation Department, the drivers who had not yet had time to drive out came out one by one after hearing the notice from upstairs.

You look at me, I look at you. Jia Haijie, holding a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head and looked towards the direction of the freight station.

"What's going on?"

"How would I know? If you let us go, then we should go."

Facing the questions from other squad leaders, Jia Haijie didn't know what kind of evil wind was blowing today. He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the freight station in a casual manner.

Ma Hua, who was standing upstairs, scratched his head. Ever since he stopped flipping the pot and started doing clerical work, his hair started to fall out.

"Stationmaster Ma, do you know why so many drivers are needed? Are they here to help unload the goods?"

Deputy Section Chief Cui Jian, standing in the corridor on the second floor, handed Ma Hua a cigarette and asked curiously.

"At half past eight, a freight train arrived at the station. The factory office asked them to stop. I guess they were doing their main business~!"

That's right.

What these drivers do is to unload trucks from the flatbed.

A string of flatbed trains connected together like a long dragon, accompanied by a cold wind that had brought some warmth, drove into the freight station of the Red Star Factory.

Except for the front of the car, the back was filled with freight flatbeds. Brand-new trucks covered with waterproof cloth were transported to the Red Star Factory from Chengdu, thousands of miles away.

When they lifted the tarpaulin, they saw that, like the trucks that had been delivered before, there was no bed and the space above the rear axle was empty. The experienced drivers were stunned when they saw so many trucks arriving.

The Red Star Factory and Factory 447 used truck-produced artillery to force the Hongyan Factory to increase its production capacity, which ultimately played a positive and proactive role.

The Hongyan Factory, which was originally busy with other things, received the order from the General Logistics Department to deliver the vehicles on time. It delivered 56 Hongyan off-road trucks to the Hongxing Factory on time in two months.

It was probably similar to the sewing workshop and ceramic workshop a few days ago. Once the military order was issued, everyone was like anxious rabbits. They put other things aside and produced the cars first and sent them away as soon as possible.

This is just the first batch. After the 122mm howitzers are modified, installed and debugged, there will only be enough to equip one regiment at most.

In the northeast, northwest, and even on the vast prairie, facing the torrent of steel, artillery units are very interested in this truck-mounted gun that can play an anti-armor role.

When have the old drivers of the Red Star Factory ever fought such a prosperous battle?

When he saw the brand new Hongyan off-road heavy trucks on the flatbed, his eyes widened. You know, there were only two trucks in the driving school, and in the transportation department, Jia Haijie took advantage of Secretary Li and occupied one alone.

For a driver, a truck is more important than his own woman. A flat-head truck with strong power and good vision is a beauty in the eyes of a lover.

The experienced drivers, who thought it was their turn to start replacing new trucks, climbed into the cab impatiently and took the trucks off the flatbed.

"This is too much. The Transportation Department, does it have to be upgraded to the Transportation Office?"

The freight station cannot accommodate so many trucks, so they can only be sent to the open-air parking lot of the transportation department. More and more naked, noseless trucks are gathering from the freight station to the parking lot.

Even some workers in the workshop near the parking lot put down their work and ran out to watch the fun.

Everyone in the transportation department was delighted as they pointed and talked about the new trucks that had arrived at the factory. It was already a spectacular sight when more than a dozen trucks were parked in a row, and then when dozens of trucks were gathered together.

Everyone who saw this scene felt that the factory was starting to get rich, and this time it was really rich. "We've made a fortune. Which truck factory did the factory beat? How many trucks do they have?"

How many cars?

Comrade Jia Shanhe, together with the technical staff of the renovation workshop, were counting the vehicles one by one. Only they knew that these vehicles were not allocated to the transportation department, but all belonged to their renovation workshop.

A large number of leaders from the factory also flashed from the office building to the parking lot at this time. Looking at the off-road trucks that were crowded together, as if they were worthless at all, they all bared their teeth and busied themselves through the gaps between the vehicles.

Not to mention the Red Star Factory, even the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant in the entire capital did not have the chance to get these new cars. Their cars were still the long-nosed Liberation~!

"Secretary Li, Secretary Li~!"

"These cars, hey, are they all for us?"

Li Feng came over in person with the factory leadership, and Cui Jicheng rushed over to greet them. He was afraid that if he was too late, his old section chief, now Principal Jiang, would come and grab the transportation department's car.

Maybe in his eyes, these vehicles are marked with the transportation department's logo and are all theirs.

“Bang, bang, bang~!”

The old drivers who closed the car doors and jumped out of the new cars also looked eagerly at Secretary Li. The former Section Chief Li's eyes were full of affection when he looked at the new car, and tears were almost dripping from his eyes.

It must be said that it's all the fault of that damn Jia Haijie. He was so proud of that new car and showed it off for so long. Who among the rest of us wouldn't want to try something new?

Unfortunately, Section Chief Li, now Secretary Li, shook his head mercilessly, shattering the fantasies of everyone in the Transportation Department.

Knocking on Cui Jian's belly, Li Feng curled his lips. The Red Star Factory really thought highly of him by allocating so many new cars at one time.

"I didn't realize you have such a big appetite now. Here, can you eat two by yourself?"

These off-road vehicles are labeled as military vehicles after leaving the factory and become the property of the military. The Red Star Factory only serves as a modification factory. After strengthening the chassis, modifying the hydraulic devices, and installing cannons, the vehicles have to be sent back to the troops.

"No, Secretary Li, five, just five~!"

Even though he had already guessed the result, Cui Jian still pestered Secretary Li, insisting that he had to get the car no matter what. He couldn't get even one, and few of those drivers were well-mannered.

"I'll ask for a few cars for you next time. As for these, they are none of your business, so don't worry about them. Leave a few drivers here, and let the others do what they need to do~!"

Seeing Master Jia checking the vehicles, Li Feng directly drove Cui Jian away. Of course, he also had some thoughts. This time, he had to ensure the supply of the troops, and the next time, he could intercept two or three vehicles for his own use, which should not be a big problem.

Even if they want to steal some food, they have to feed the troops first. Only when their truck artillery is comfortable to use, will the trucks produced by the Hongyan Factory be sent here continuously in the future.

No matter how urgent the transportation department is, it is not as urgent as the troops. To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is wartime. Our neighbors to the north and the south, the troops urgently need to improve their combat effectiveness, which is the most important thing at the moment.

In the past, it might take a long time to debug and solve all the problems before the equipment can be put into service one after another.

At this stage, Director Shao from the General Logistics Department meant that the equipment should be put into service first and then debugged, as time waits for no one. When the center of gravity begins to shift to the south, the north will need new weapons for deterrence.

The 122mm caliber truck gun does not require huge funds like tanks. Even if there are so many vehicles, even if they are all equipped with artillery, the overall cost is far less than that of four or five tanks.

It is inexpensive and easier to maintain than tanks. It can not only counter armor and fortifications, but also be quickly deployed. Its flexible mobility allows it to adapt to the harsh environments of various battlefields.

It can be said that the Red Star Factory just happened to catch this wave of opportunities. The great sense of insecurity around it has led to the unprecedented prosperity of the Red Star Factory.

If it was earlier or later, we might not be able to achieve the current results.

"Comrades, the stockpile room has been officially renamed the transformation workshop. These cars are the test of the workers and the people for us~!"

"I have secured the goods for you. At 447 pm, the artillery from Factory will also be delivered here. We have already overcome the first hurdle. Now, the second hurdle is how to mass produce it!"

"Mass production is a test for each of us. No matter what, at any cost, we must complete this task~!"

Right in the parking lot, in front of everyone in the renovation workshop, the establishment of the new workshop and the assignment of tasks were announced.

Red Star Factory is racing against time! (End of this chapter)
