Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Half a day later... the rumbling sound of the engine became farther and farther away, and the truck convoy, loaded with food, carrying technicians and escorting soldiers, returned to the headquarters.

Watching the dust drift away, the engineers who were learning from the technicians quickly squatted down in a circle and borrowed the materials written down by their comrades. They learned from each other in different groups, and then summarized some experiences and melted them into new knowledge and their own memories.

No one would doubt that the content explained by the technicians was incorrect because they were sent by the headquarters? No! Because there was a small signature in the information brought by the technicians - Li Yuexuan!

That’s right, it’s the mysterious Comrade Li Yuexuan who has published many books and helped many people! As for which unit Comrade Li Yuexuan works in? No one knows. What does Comrade Li Yuexuan look like? No one knows! Even, whether Comrade Li Yuexuan works in the Eighth Route Army, everyone has doubts! Because everyone has seen Li Yuexuan’s works, but not in person.

What did you say? Comrade Youshuan? Comrade Youshuan is the deputy commander of the Beishan Detachment of the Ninth Division, the commander of the Security Regiment, the deputy chief engineer and director of the headquarters arsenal, and the director and chief engineer of the Liangjiacun Arsenal.

Right, what does the book published by Comrade Li Yuexuan have to do with me, Peregrine Falcon?

“I have no choice… I started writing the Barefoot Doctor’s Manual in Beiyue District and submitted the formula of sulfa drugs. Some materials also had Li Yuexuan’s name on them. Peregrine was a code name I got later. Now it has become my name, and everyone has forgotten my real name!” Li Yuexuan sighed helplessly at the Liangjia Village Arsenal.

Fortunately, not many people know his name is Li Yuexuan. At least in this world, the number of people who know him is probably no more than 100. When he was fighting with the New st Regiment, everyone called him the military doctor, or Xiao Li. Not many people called him by his full name, right?

Think about the comrades who fought together back then. How many of them are still around? Perhaps as time goes by, everyone will only remember that one person suddenly appeared, joined the guerrillas, contributed some information, and later tinkered with military industry. As for the others? Probably no one will remember them!

This era is an era of heroes, and Li Yuexuan is at best just a small butterfly hiding behind the heroes. The flapping wings of the small butterfly may form a hurricane, but it is more likely that it will just blow away the nearby pollen.

Li Yuexuan thought that he, a little butterfly, did not have the ability to start a storm, but since he came to this world, it was still possible to kill tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers! Although it was not as many as a mushroom bomb could take away, it was worth being proud of these achievements.

As for why we gave standard anti-tank mines to the comrades in Hebei, Shandong and Henan in the south? Isn't this a matter of right? The Arsenal has made anti-tank mines before, but this time they were mass-produced. Well, they were used by special forces and some main forces also had one or two, mainly to blow up the lead vehicle of the enemy's convoy.

Now, if we want to blow up tanks, we need to concentrate production capacity and materials, open molds to cast shells, and produce fuses. After passing the pressure test, it will be much easier to assemble anti-tank mines. What did you say? How to do the pressure test? Liangjia Village has tanks. Although two of them have been converted into farmland, the weight is still there! Put quicklime in the shell, screw on the fuse, drive up and press it, and it will be enough to detonate the fuse. The fuse is not very powerful, at best it is just a small firecracker.

Therefore, when Li Yuexuan received a telegram from the headquarters asking all divisions to detect the enemy's tanks, he led the Liangjia Village Arsenal to produce 500 anti-tank mines and sent the information and products to the headquarters. Then, the headquarters arsenal, Naogou arsenal and other units started working together... God knows how many mines these arsenals produced to deal with the enemy's tanks!

Well, what is limited now is explosives. If there is enough explosives, we can use mines to pave a road for the Japanese tanks, just like using artillery shells to build roads for villagers in later generations.

As for study materials? All you need is hands...

Time passed quietly, and the Japanese frequently mobilized their forces, arranged personnel everywhere, and formed puppet troops, intending to control the large occupied areas in the south. However, the guerrillas attacking everywhere made the Japanese's life not so peaceful. Especially after the southern detachment went deep into the enemy-occupied areas, the Japanese's peaceful life became less and less.

But even so, the Japanese still organized a team of 50 tanks and a temporary 108th Division! Does it look familiar? Yes, it is the 108th Division of the special division. The Japanese thought that this division had fought in North China, so they organized more than 1 Japanese troops into the temporary 108th Division.

The Japanese headquarters said that this division is a temporary designation. When it will be disbanded depends on when the battle to reopen the transportation line to the north ends! As long as the Pinghan Line is opened, this division can be disbanded and split, and its mission will be completed.

Actually, when the Japanese troops came back to support, the Eighth Route Army gave up some counties south of the Zhang River on the Pinghan Line, but the counties north of the Zhang River were occupied without giving up a step. Now the Japanese are staying in Handan, Xingtai, Shimen, Baoding and other cities and dare not come out, waiting for the Japanese troops of this division to rescue them.

However, the Japanese also knew that if they didn't deal with the Eighth Route Army south of Zhanghe River, it would be useless for them to go north! Once they left, the Eighth Route Army would continue to destroy the railway, and this matter would never end! Therefore, Jiluyu would be the first battle for the Japanese to counterattack northward! As for the Tongpu Railway in the mountains in the west, the Japanese really couldn't take care of it now, because the transportation significance there was not as important as the Pinghan Railway!
Xinxiang is a good place, north of the Yellow River, and the Pinghan Line runs through here. Of course, at this time, Xinxiang was still in the hands of the devils, but the surrounding counties... Sorry, the Eighth Route Army took over!

In a village less than 10 kilometers east of Xinxiang, the Jiluyu Military Sub-district stationed two infantry regiments there and built fortifications outside the village, clearly showing that they were ready to fight a big battle with the Japanese. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army had no intention of hiding it. During this period, no matter who came to "visit relatives", the Eighth Route Army allowed them to pass all the way and let them come to see the situation.

So, the Japanese soldiers who had just crossed the Yellow River also learned about this situation. They knew that there were Eighth Route Army here, and that they were waiting for them to come!
This is not a provocation, this is a slap in the face to the devils! This is a plain area, the Eighth Route Army has two regiments, more than 5000 people, and they are fighting a positional war... The devils can't stand it! (End of this chapter)
