Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Kong Jie looked around and saw no fire-fighting equipment, and the water source was very far away. He didn't know how to solve the fire.

"Don't worry. Our granary is also built with materials with high fire resistance. If a fire really occurs, we will not use water to put it out. Instead, we will seal the fire point and use carbon dioxide to put out the fire, so that the grain will not get damp."

Su Zheng pointed to a ventilation duct on the roof, where the carbon dioxide was released.

"Awesome! It's really amazing!"

After listening to Su Zheng's explanation, several people couldn't help but applaud.

"Also, our fire station is very fast. People don't have to run back and forth with buckets of water. It takes about four minutes for a police call to arrive here."

After saying that, Su Zheng led them to continue walking towards the commercial district, allowing them to appreciate the customs and culture of Xinzhong Village, and also to know that Xinzhong Village is developing better and better under Su Zheng's leadership.

"There are acrobatic performances in the central square! Go check it out!"

Suddenly, a group of children ran past them laughing, as if they saw the future of the nation and waved to the younger generation.

Chapter 779: Heroes Monument! Heavy industry shocked Li Yunlong: Is this an arsenal? (First update, please subscribe)

Several people came to this commercial area and were shocked by the prosperous scene before them.

“This is our commercial center.”

Looking at the dazzling glass windows, the various commodities inside the glass, and the neon lights on the street, it is simply dazzling.

"Oh my god, this place is really like where gods live, hahaha."

Kong Jie looked at this prosperous area and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Come, I'll show you the square."

After Su Zheng finished speaking, he walked to the other side, followed by Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

After walking a short distance, we saw a statue standing in the center ahead, with tourists strolling around it, and looking outside, we saw some shops.

"This monument was built to commemorate the people who made contributions to the Xinzhongcun base and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives."

Su Zheng "260" pointed at the huge statue, which looked like a sharp sword, standing up from the earth and pointing to the sky.

"There are also some recreational spots over there, where people can exercise and do fitness every day in the gym, and also increase their resistance."

"The other side is a place for leisure, to see the scenery, to climb a mountain, all of which is totally fine."

Looking at the extremely prosperous scene around them, several people were full of praise.

"By the way, Su Zheng, you've been talking about developing industry, but I haven't seen any progress on it..."

Ding Wei looked at the prosperous scene around him and was obviously not interested in it.

"The industrial area is a bit far away, so we can just ride over there and take a look."

Seeing that several people were not interested in this, Su Zheng prepared to lead them to the next location to check it out. After all, the next one was the most worth seeing.

The four of them rode on tall horses and headed towards a place.

"By the way, Su Zheng, how is the current development status of your industrial zone?" Li Yunlong asked.

"At present, the output of steel and iron is constantly increasing, but the rate of increase is gradually decreasing. Of course, the output of weapons and equipment has not decreased, but... the development and upgrading situation has not improved much."

"So, we must develop the industrial system of Xinzhong Village, and we must find a way to get some of the machine tools and industrial equipment that need to be transported."

After listening to Su Zheng's story, several people also realized the current development status of Xinzhong Village's industrial system.

"Moreover, the resources stored under Xinzhong Village are also very huge, but there are no better machines to develop them. As I said before, we must develop industry."

As Su Zheng was speaking, he kept thinking about how the future blueprint of Xinzhong Village should proceed. He couldn't just lie down.

Indeed, after the iron ore problem was solved, both the Huben Regiment and the Xinzhongcun base developed rapidly.

Soon, everyone arrived at the industrial area.

The arsenal of the Huben Regiment was located deep in the mountains. However, with the growing strength of the Huben Regiment and the development of the Xinzhongcun base, some of the arsenal production has been moved to the Xinzhongcun base.

This will naturally be more convenient.

In the past, the Tiger Guards were not strong enough and were afraid of being bombed by the Japanese air raids, so they naturally had to hide the arsenal deep in the mountains.

"See? That area is our factory. Weapons and equipment are manufactured inside."

Su Zheng said this and led a few people to continue walking inside.

"This first one is a tank factory."

Now the Tiger Guards began to try to manufacture tanks.

The drawings for manufacturing the tank were naturally obtained by Su Zheng through the system.

An industrial plant nearly tens of meters high stood before us. The gate slowly opened, and it seemed that operations were in progress inside.

When everyone went in, they saw that it was filled with tank bodies, including gun barrels, hulls, engines and everything else.

In the distance, an assembly line is operating.

First, the tank engine is installed inside the tank body, then transported to the front via a conveyor belt, where steel plates are installed all around the body, and then the wheels and tracks are installed outside the body, leaving only the turret to be installed.

All that remains is to install the gun barrel on the breech block, then place the tank gun in the turret, and finally connect the turret and the body of the tank into one, so that a complete tank is ready.

Looking at the entire development of the tank, people are shocked by this production model.

Fast speed, high quality, and wonderful cooperation!

"This kind of production is really amazing! I think the weapons production factory at our headquarters also needs to learn from it!"

Ding Wei couldn't help but sigh that if such a production model could be applied to the entire army, it would inevitably cause a sensation and promote the development of the entire army.

"Okay, let's take a look at the situation over here. It's really hot in here."

Su Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and then walked towards the factory building opposite.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of machines rubbing against each other, and sparks appeared from time to time...

"Wow, there are sparks coming out. It's quite a big scene."

A few people walked in and saw many gun barrels and some gun molds placed aside, with sparks coming out of them.

"This is the machine tool workshop, where we make tools that require fine carving."

Su Zheng explained and then took a few people to a large machine tool.

"This machine tool is specially used to make gun barrels."

I saw a block of iron appear in front of me, then it was lifted to the same height as the machine tool and fixed on it.

The blade of the machine tool continued to approach the piece of steel. As the blade rotated, it took a while to cut a relatively square piece of iron into a cylinder.

"Wow! This knife is quite sharp! It's really good."

Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the blade which was so sharp that it could cut iron like mud.

Next, the newly-cut cylinder was pushed in front of a long cutting knife.

Then he aimed the knife at the middle of the cylinder and kept rotating it, watching iron filings fly out of the hole and a deep hole appear inside.

The initial form of such a gun barrel has been completed.

"The next step is to carve the rifling of the gun barrel, then conduct a chamber pressure test on it, and continuously optimize it until it can be installed on the tank."

Su Zheng was explaining that the finished gun barrels were pushed into a more hidden place for processing, and the rest was what could not be seen.

"If our machine tools can become more powerful, we can still manufacture more difficult tools."

Su Zheng continued to talk about how he planned to develop Xinzhong Village, and made the people present understand why he had to implement such a plan so that they could better understand it.

"This is the place that knows about firearms. On the other hand, the machine tools here are more ordinary than those over there."

Watching the important components of the gun body and barrel being manufactured by machine tools and then manually spliced ​​and assembled, a complete gun is made.

These things in front of them have shocked the three people's eyes countless times. Every part of them is beyond their imagination. It is the first time they see such a powerful thing, and they are extremely shocked.

"Okay, over there is our Xinzhong Village mine, and there are some oil production plants. It's quite dangerous, so I don't need to take you there."

Su Zheng smiled at them and then headed to the next most important location.

Chapter 780: Cradle of Eighth Route Army Generals: Tiger Military Academy (Second update, please subscribe)

"Where's the next place?"

I have walked a long way following Su Zheng, but I am still immersed in the shock of just now. I have walked so far without finding anything, and I don’t even know where the destination is.

Kong Jie watched them heading towards the center of Xinzhong Village again, as if they were heading back.

Su Zheng was riding a horse. After he finished speaking, he looked at the three of them and asked, "Let me ask the captains, what do you think fighting a war depends on?"

"With the right time, right place, and right people, and with all the guns and cannons, I can take you to Kyoto!"

Li Yunlong was speaking at the side, with an arrogant look on his face, as if he was the only one who could do this.

"Stop talking. Fighting a war depends not only on weapons and equipment, but also on people! Look at the Chairman's troops before. They were better equipped than us, but they still couldn't beat us."

Kong Jie rolled his eyes at Li Yunlong, indicating that he did not agree with what he said at all.

"Yes, yes, Captain Kong is right. It also depends on the generals. Without good generals like me, there would be no New 1st Regiment! Hahahaha..."

Several people didn't want to pay attention to Li Yunlong and just let him laugh alone.

Su Zheng paused and continued, "Yes, it depends not only on equipment, but also on people!"

"So people don't just appear out of thin air. They also need to learn and be trained. So where do these people come from?"

Su Zheng asked another rhetorical question, trying to get others to answer it.

"Of course it's through the training in the military academy! It's through the teachers who explain it!"

Li Yunlong on the side also stopped laughing and came over to answer the question immediately.

"Yes! So the next place we are going to is the Tiger Military Academy in Xinzhong Village!"

"What?! Military school?!"

Hearing this, I was deeply moved to learn that a military academy had been established in the Xinzhongcun base.

"Good fellow! You train officers and talents! You have contributed a lot to the war of resistance!"

Knowing that Xinzhongcun was also training military talents, they were very happy. This was a very good thing.

On the battlefield with a high mortality rate, and even in the rear of the battlefield, generals are specifically hunted by the enemy. Whether it is artillery attacks or sniper kills, it will cause great panic.

Some people can even be promoted to squad leader just three days after joining the battlefield.

This shows how high the death rate of officers is.

If we can train military talents for the army, it would be a great achievement!

"How many officers has the Huben Military Academy trained? Are they all on the battlefield now?" Ding Wei suddenly remembered this and asked.

"There are already a few who have graduated from the academy and have gone to the battlefield. There is even one who works for the CEO, and he is also a graduate of our school."

After Su Zheng finished speaking, everyone saw the building of Huben School and kept moving towards it.

"This is it. There's nothing special about it. It just looks like an ordinary school..."

“It’s just that there is a shooting range in the back, which can provide shooting for students.”

After saying that, Su Zheng pushed open the gate of the yard and everyone followed him in.

It looks no different from other schools, except that there are some trenches and some model guns in the yard, which seem to be used for daily training or education.

"Our military academy is divided into three grades. The first grade undergoes military training, learns about the use of firearms and tactics, and improves their cognitive abilities. The second grade learns some tactics and strategies, and has a macroscopic understanding of the entire battlefield. The third grade applies the knowledge learned to actual combat, and practices back and forth to hone themselves."

After listening to Su Zheng’s explanation, the others walked towards the inside of the school with curiosity.

I saw desks and other things in the classroom on the first floor. There were also some tank and airplane models. It seemed that they were used to teach students some basic knowledge.

"By the way, Su Zheng, how many students can the school accept?"

Looking at the classrooms of various sizes lined up in the teaching building, Ding Wei asked Su Zheng.

"We will accept 1,000 people at the beginning, and then through examinations and assessments, we will regularly eliminate a group of people, and the remaining people will continue to study in school, and this will be the case every year."

After listening to Su Zheng's words, everyone's face revealed admiration.

These are truly the elite among the elites. The officers trained here are definitely first-rate. Officers like these will definitely become battalion-level cadres.

But Su Zheng just said... a squad leader...
