Chapter 1569: Chief Inspection
“Here it comes, here it comes~!”

Starting from the afternoon, the gate of the Red Star Factory slowly opened.

Liu Guangqi from the Security Department personally stood at the door with a leather bag on his waist, and the security personnel on duty were replaced by security department officers.

One after another, jeeps with military license plates came from Xicheng. After arriving at Dongzhimen, they turned directly onto the road leading to the Red Star Factory.

“Salute~!”

Liu Guangqi, the section chief, raised his right hand to his brows with a deep voice and looked straight at the convoy that was slowly driving into the factory.

The security officer on the guard post did the same. He slapped the eye guard of the gun muzzle with his left hand through the crotch of his trousers. Even the distinguished guest, whom their section chief had to receive solemnly, did not dare to look into the car window.

"DiDi~!"

The jeep driver also responded to Liu Guangqi's salute and the gun salute of the guard on duty by honking his car horn.

Inside the guard room, the security officer in charge of registration stood up from his stool obediently. After the last jeep in the convoy drove into the factory, he sat down again. He looked very serious, as if he had been trained countless times.

The security guards who were temporarily transferred to the rest room inside the guard room were all eager to see who was outside the door, but they did not dare to sneak a peek.

One after another, the vehicle-mounted artillery came off the production line and parked in the parking lot of the Transportation Department. The officers and soldiers of the 9th Artillery Division were constantly debugging them. When they saw the jeep convoy approaching, the chief of staff immediately gathered the officers and soldiers of the 9th Division who were there to receive the equipment.

Factory director Li Feng, deputy director Shen Jiashi, and other factory-level cadres at or above the department level all changed into Type 65 military uniforms, wore red star hats, and tied cowhide belts. They all looked very high-spirited.

Jiang Defu, who was on duty at the research institute, wore the navy uniform that had been hanging on the wall today. The dark grey uniform was slightly different from the army uniforms of the cadres at the Red Star Factory.

The jeep convoy just stopped at the parking lot of the Transportation Department. A group of cadres from the Red Star Factory immediately came to greet them. Li Feng personally trotted to open the door. Just this pace was enough for these cadres in the factory to learn for a lifetime.

“Swish, swish~!”

As Li Feng saluted after opening the door, the cadres of the Red Star Factory also raised their hands to their eyebrows.

"Hahaha, okay, put it down. I just had the urge to come over and take a look today. I hope it didn't affect your delivery~!"

Director Shao of the National Defense Industry Office got out of the car first, followed by another older leader in an army uniform. Looking at the numerous gun barrels in the parking lot, the leader asked Li Feng with a amiable smile.

These seemingly light-hearted words made everyone present feel the leader's care and attention to the Red Star Factory.

"It is an honor for our Red Star Factory that the leader came to inspect our work in person. This is not only a sign of his importance to our work, but also a great encouragement to all the employees of the Red Star Factory."

The ups and downs of the voice, coupled with Li Feng's firm and resolute expression, made the leader who got out of the car nod repeatedly. Perhaps it was his recognition of Li Feng's work that he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and gently shook hands with Li Feng.

"Political Commissar Tang~!" Compared to Li Feng, Chief of Staff Sun maintained a standard running posture. He arrived in front of the jeep like a little soldier. As his leather shoes hit his heels, his arms were already raised to his eyebrows. His body movements were very standard.

You know, when Chief of Staff Sun met Li Feng in the morning, he was just being polite and that was enough. It might be because Li Feng was too young.

"You are~!"

"Sun Dawei, Chief of Staff of the 8th Artillery Division, formerly of the th Column of the Huaye Army~!"

"Oh, you are Zhang Dapao's subordinates, right? I remember that you fought very well in Laiwu. However, you don't have to call me the political commissar. I have retired due to poor health. The future battlefield will be handed over to you young people!"

Waving his hand humbly, the chief looked at Li Feng who was standing side by side with the chief of staff, and shook his head absentmindedly. The mission of their generation had been completed. Looking at Chief of Staff Sun, and then at the younger Li Feng next to him, generation after generation of young people had taken over the baton.

"Look, Xiao Shao, each one is younger and more capable than the other. The Huaye Army and the Sanye Army are now able to see these new equipment. In the past, they would not even dare to think about it~!"

The leader was quite old and walked slowly. After saying hello, he slowly walked to the parking lot. He pointed his withered finger at the rows of parked vehicle-mounted artillery, his face full of emotion.

"At the beginning, we captured a Type 92 infantry gun, but its wheels had fallen off. We treated it like a treasure and sent it to the border arsenal for repairs overnight. It took us a long time to get a replacement wheel. In the end, we had to take it off a car before we could use it~!"

"Later, when we captured the American M1918, you have no idea how happy Lao Xu was. It was a big caliber and it was fun to shoot. Now, we don't need to rely on captured weapons anymore. We can make better ones ourselves!"

Looking at the chrome-plated gun barrel emitting a faint glow in the sun, the commander's slightly hunched back straightened up a little.

"Yes, Political Commissar Tang, at the back, regiment after regiment seized American and German heavy artillery, but we didn't even use them. They all went to the Fourth Field Army. We in the Third Field Army are still using the Type 96~!"

At this point, there was a hint of grievance in Chief of Staff Sun's words. Anyway, Li Feng, who was following nearby, could hear that the Huaye was the Third Field Army, and the troops used were those replaced by others.

Chief of Staff Sun seems quite funny at this moment. It has been nearly 20 years since this incident, but he still cannot get over it.

"Hahahaha, you still remember it. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it. However, things change over time. This time, it's your turn~!"

Chief of Staff Sun's words made the leader laugh. He patted the door of the truck gun and pointed at him.

In the major battles back then, the Fourth Field Army marched from north to south with great momentum, and limited superior equipment was supplied to them first. Now that the tigers in the Northeast have begun to take a nap, it is the turn of the vehicle-mounted artillery here to get a taste of the benefits first.

Li Feng stood on the side, silent. To him, the changes in the organization of several fields and columns sounded a bit confusing. Only these old men could closely connect them.

Perhaps, if my father were still alive, he would be able to analyze and understand for me the organization of the troops in these special times.

"Very good. These new equipments are hard to come by. You must learn and use them well. If you cannot form combat effectiveness as soon as possible after receiving them, I will go find Zhang Dapao~!"
