Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Under Grandma Sun's insistence, Zhao Danian and Zhu Xingyu had no choice but to accept the two new recruits. The two 16-year-old boys, who would have graduated from junior high school in later generations, became new recruits now.

From the backyard to the front yard, there were 3 people when they went out, and 5 people when they came back. Liang Weiguo and Liang Weimin also followed them out of the backyard and came to the front yard. Although they were just one in front and one behind, these two guys were now new recruits of the guerrillas!
"Okay, you two wait here for a moment, we'll discuss it and make arrangements for you!" When they arrived outside the east wing, Zhao Danian called out and pulled Zhu Xingyu and Li Yuexuan to a meeting.

In the room, Zhao Danian frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I'm very busy, and Lao Zhu is also very busy. It's also a problem how to arrange these two new recruits! Otherwise, Peregrine Falcon, you take them with you? Let them join your special service team, and let the veterans train them when they are free, how about that?"

"You can follow me! But Captain, are you moved by compassion or what? If you follow me, how will you have a chance to fight?" Li Yuexuan said with a smile.

"Are you talking about me, or are you complaining that you don't have a battle to fight? Their previous generation and the generation before that all died fighting the Japanese, so you have to take care of them, right? Besides, they will train with your special service squad, and after the training, they can be transferred to other units! Okay, that's my opinion! What do you think, Old Zhu?" Zhao Danian said.

"I also agree to put them in the special service class for training. It's passed with two votes, so it's settled! I know these two little guys well. They have already attended the literacy class and have good cultural knowledge! As for physical fitness, they have been practicing martial arts non-stop, so their physical fitness is impeccable! Moreover, they are no worse than our veterans in overcoming obstacles on the training ground!" said Zhu Xingyu.

"I agree too!" Li Yuexuan said, "They have been trained since childhood, they are very good soldiers! Following the special service squad, we will mainly give them shooting training and technical and tactical training! I hope they have a talent for shooting and can become good shooters!"

After the three of them discussed it, they decided to put two new recruits in the special service squad, and put them on the big bunk bed. Well, for the two brothers, it was just like moving from the backyard to the front yard, without leaving their own house.

However, from now on, the two brothers will have to train with real soldiers and practice various skills. Anyway, the soldiers in the special service class have nothing to do except for their duties, so they just give the two brothers special training. Everyone is watching and waiting, looking forward to what the two brothers will look like after being trained by the veterans.

"In the first month of the year, young friends are doing things..." Li Yuexuan's mind was filled with cheerful music, but he was standing in front of the lathe with a spinning chuck, watching the lathe operator finish turning the mortar. Then, it was fine grinding to ensure the smoothness of the caliber.

Guerrillas don't have holidays, and the arsenal naturally has no such concept. Workers can't stop working on the first day of the first lunar month! Isn't it inhumane? Wrong, the workers in the arsenal are treated better than the regiment commanders, and the working hours are only 9 hours, which is much easier than the 996 and 007 in later generations! Of course, when there is electricity and lighting, they will work in two shifts, each shift is 8 hours.

After the Chinese New Year, in addition to normal physical training, Li Yuexuan spent almost all his time at the arsenal, mainly producing 120 heavy mortars. He knew that time was precious, and the Japanese would make a big move this year, and it would be the last crazy move! So after withstanding this wave, we will gradually overwhelm the Japanese!

What Li Yuexuan wanted to do was to increase the number of mortars in the army as much as possible before the final raid by the Japanese! When the Japanese attacked, they would blow the bastards to death!

On the 115th day of the first lunar month, the first day of March in the Gregorian calendar, the 200th Division stationed far away in the Yimeng Mountains received new equipment sent by the headquarters - 120 4000mm heavy mortars and 10 rounds of artillery shells. In order to supply this equipment, the headquarters mobilized the troops of the new th Brigade to escort along the way, using various channels to avoid the enemy's search, and finally delivered it safely.

"Secretary Zhu, this time we have distributed so many heavy mortars. The teams under our 115th Division finally have heavy weapons!" Someone said to a young cadre wearing glasses at the 115th Division's headquarters.

"Yes... these are all good things, good weapons!" The cadre with a northern Jiangsu accent had enthusiasm in his eyes and everyone could hear the excitement in his tone.

"Haha, you are a top student who studied at Sun Yat-sen University and Krasin Artillery School in Russia, do you have any ideas?" asked Deputy Commander Chen with a smile.

"Well, you have an idea, a lot of ideas! The Russians are pursuing the doctrine of artillery, and they pay great attention to the use of artillery and the combination of artillery and infantry! My suggestion is to learn from the headquarters' approach and establish an artillery regiment as the strategic artillery unit of our Shandong Provincial Military Region! With the artillery regiment, we will have considerable confidence in fighting the Japanese invaders!"

"Haha, since you brought it up, let's hold a meeting to discuss the feasibility! In addition, there are some technical personnel coming with the transport team, who are mainly responsible for the production of heavy mortars and 82 mortars, as well as the production of these two types of artillery shells! When we have a meeting later, let's discuss together which arsenal should be used to place these technical personnel?" said Commander Chen.

Soon, a meeting began. The cadres of the 115th Division and the Shandong Bureau discussed for more than an hour and finally determined the purpose of these mortars. Of course, the artillery regiment was still established, and Secretary Zhu planned to personally lead and supervise the construction and training of this artillery regiment.

The meeting was over and it was already evening. Secretary Zhu returned to the small courtyard where he lived. A young woman holding a baby girl warmly welcomed him.

"Xiao Chen, I have good news for you. Our headquarters has sent us 200 heavy mortars! Haha, with these mortars, we are no longer afraid of the Japanese raids! During the Daqingshan raid last year, if we had so many heavy mortars, we wouldn't have been defeated by the Japanese! Fortunately, our light weapons are strong enough, so we didn't let the Japanese take advantage!"

At this point, he looked at his wife and daughter tenderly and said, "Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of situation you would have encountered! Fortunately, fortunately, our comrades in the military industry provided us with the best light weapons, allowing us to overwhelm the Japanese troops of the same size in a small-scale battle. Fortunately, fortunately!"

"No matter what you want to do, I support you, and my daughter supports you too! Lao Zhu, go for it, we will win in the end!" (End of this chapter)
