Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 192 Chapter 191, How about coming to work with me?

They thought the women were just chatting and not working properly. But when they walked into the shed, they found that everything was in order. The women were working with their heads down, laughing and talking, and their efficiency was surprisingly high. Of course, seeing the women skillfully loading explosives, installing fuses, and even hammering nails, you can tell that they are very skilled.

Practice makes perfect, and this is the most true portrayal for these women. Xiao Fengyun did not criticize these women after entering the shed. After all, they did a good job. At least so far, all the troops who had fired grenades from him said they were good, and even the Japanese traitors who had personally experienced it had no objections.

Minister Zhang and the brigade commander did not express any opinions. After all, they had no right to speak without investigation. So, after watching the entire assembly process of a grenade, they left.

"The grenades are pretty good. The 385th Brigade just got a batch. They sent a telegram to the headquarters saying that the explosion was very effective. Even those big black powder grenades blew the Japanese into pieces! Although they are a bit heavy, in close combat, a soldier used the grenade as a hammer and hammered a Japanese soldier to death!"

"Haha, you know what, our grenades can blow up the Japanese and can also be used as hammers in close combat. They are really good!" Minister Zhang made a positive statement about grenades as they walked into the village.

"Is that so? Minister Zhang, this is actually what Comrade Youshun said at the beginning: the power is not enough, so the quantity is made up. In order to load more explosives, it is made heavier!" Xiao Fengyun replied quickly.

"Haha, if you lack power, you can make up for it with numbers. This makes a lot of sense! Just like our team, our equipment is worse than the Japanese, and our training can't keep up. We can only use our numbers to fight against our weaknesses and win with our numerical advantage! Of course, your Beishan guerrillas have performed very well. Many battles were won when we had fewer people or the same number as the Japanese!" Minister Zhang turned the topic to the guerrillas.

"When our guerrillas first went to the Beiyue area, we suffered heavy losses. In the end, the soldiers fought hard, and the only ones left were veterans and those with skills. That's how we took advantage of a night battle and seized spoils. Then, we met the 3rd Company of the New st Regiment, and with the joining of Comrade Peregrine, our strength has gradually increased!" When Zhao Danian answered, he did not forget to mention Li Yuexuan.

"We are all familiar with Comrade Peregrine's combat experience, but as someone in charge of logistics, I am more fond of Comrade Peregrine's contribution to military construction. The Japanese are now attacking Beiyue District, but the news that has been sent back is that the soldiers and civilians in Beiyue District have a large number of grenades and shotguns. If we bring the Japanese close together and deal with them at once, even dozens of them will not be able to withstand it!"

"If a person has strong combat capability, he can only lead a team and play a key role in one or two battles. But if this capability is military technology, then if sufficient equipment is placed in our team, it will improve the overall strength of the entire Eighth Route Army! For example, the grenade shed just now can make 1500 grenades a day."

"These grenades are just pieces of wood and iron, inconspicuous. But when these grenades are in the hands of combatants, they can be thrown into the enemy troops. If we are lucky, a single explosion can kill several enemy soldiers. Let's lower the ratio, and if 10 grenades kill one enemy soldier, you can get 150 enemy soldiers in a day!"

"And there are reloaded bullets. You load 1000 bullets a day. According to our current combat situation, 100 bullets can kill one enemy, which is 10. Of course, the accounts cannot be calculated in this way, but your contribution to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is unquestionable! Therefore, both the central government and the headquarters require that the arsenal be given the most generous treatment!"

"How about it, Comrade Youshun, how about you come to work with me?" Minister Zhang said a lot of things, and finally said his truest thoughts. "This..." Li Yuexuan's heart tightened, why did he bring up this topic again? But since Minister Zhang said so, he could only say: "If it is a task assigned by the organization, I will complete it without hesitation! If it is just your support? Then I still think the same as before! I will use all the skills I have mastered, but I will always insist on fighting on the front line!"

"We need to make more grenades, but I prefer to throw the grenades myself to kill a large number of the Japanese. We also need to reload as many bullets as possible, as I would prefer to shoot the Japanese through with one shot..." Li Yuexuan had to reorganize his previous remarks and repeat them to Minister Zhang.

Listening to Li Yuexuan's true confession, Minister Zhang and the brigade commander looked at each other and nodded secretly, and then they didn't continue to dwell on this matter. At this time, no one doubted Li Yuexuan's background anymore. After all, there were too many things put together, and no fool would arrange such a person to go undercover in our Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, the current content of Li Yuexuan's file is: Li Yuexuan, codenamed Peregrine, is from Shanghe Village, Beiyue District. He suffered misfortune since childhood. His family was persecuted to death by the landlord. He himself was nearly dead from starvation, but was fortunately saved by Aunt Xu from the same village. Later, he was saved by a folk artist, became an apprentice, and lived in a foreign land, finally settling in Nanjing.

During his stay there, in order to support his master, he served as an attendant to the foreigners, and learned various skills through observation and experience. Later... He is currently the second deputy captain of the Beishan guerrillas, and also serves as the platoon leader of the supplementary platoon and the comprehensive squad leader.

Well, it was a very detailed archive file, which recorded in detail Li Yuexuan's background and the contributions he made after joining the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, the confidentiality level was very high, the kind that ordinary people could not see.

"Let's go. The organization respects your choice. At this stage, you just need to continue working in the Beishan guerrillas! Well, the hammering and banging here, is this the place where carbine rifles are made?" As they were talking, everyone had already arrived in the village, and Minister Zhang naturally shifted the topic to the inspection of the arsenal.

"That's right, Minister Zhang, this is where we produce carbine rifles. Please come in!" Xiao Fengyun naturally acted as a tour guide and led everyone into the ordnance workshop.

The military workshop is a large courtyard. It is not as luxurious as the Liang family compound, but it is indeed quite large. In fact, this is the home of the late Mr. Liang's younger brother. There are only two daughters-in-law and three grandchildren left in the family. Now the daughters-in-law and grandchildren live in the backyard of Grandma Sun, so this house is empty.

Before entering the yard, everyone heard the sound of ding-dong-dong. When they entered the yard, they saw several old carpenters repairing wooden gun stocks among the sawdust on the ground.
