Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'Yeah?Sending sabers to Peiping should be just an act of revenge, right?But hearing what you said, and thinking about this kid's plan, it is probably really possible.By the way, can you take one of the numbers of this unit? '

Hearing that Mao Taizu also agreed with He Zhengdao's plan, Boss Zhu also handed over the power of naming the dispatched troops to the chairman at the right time.In any case, today's Mao Taizu is the real commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army.

Regarding Mr. Zhu's humility, Mao Taizu thought for a while and said: "In order to avoid the Central Army's arguing, it is called the Jidong Anti-Japanese Column. Temporarily give them an expanded establishment of the main division. If they develop in the future, they will save it and then change it. Number!"

As the telegram from the central government was sent back to He Zhengdao, He Zhengdao quickly said: "The telegram ordered Xu Mingyuan from the third division and one regiment to report to the column headquarters as quickly as possible. There is a new combat mission for him." .

In addition, a telegram was sent to Hu Youliang and the others, asking him to send two small teams to scout the deployment of Japanese troops in North China.He personally led the other two teams to Luan County in eastern Hebei to get in touch with the Jire border agents there.

When the Jidong column arrived, he served as the column's chief of staff and the column's reconnaissance battalion commander, and cooperated with the third division and one regiment that was about to form the Jidong Anti-Japanese Base Area to launch operations behind enemy lines.And depending on the situation, expand the size of the special warfare unit. "

After the two telegrams were sent, Xu Mingyuan, the head of the Third Division and First Regiment who received the telegrams, seemed a little unclear.Why at this time, He Zhengdao recalled him to Yulin.But judging from the order, presumably there should be some mission.

On the other hand, Jiang Shan, the commander of the Third Division, smiled and said, "Don't guess! If your predictions are right, you will have a secret mission when you go to see the commander this time. It seems that you are going to spend this new year somewhere else. "

At this moment, Hu Youliang, the leader of the second unit of the Special Forces of the army, who was far away in Beiping City, looked at the telegram sent by He Zhengdao, and said in surprise: "The commander wants to establish an anti-Japanese base in eastern Jidong?"

When the other team members heard this situation, they were also a little surprised: "Captain, can we not go back?"

'In a short time, it seems that I can't go back!According to the commander's order, I will serve as the chief of staff of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Column, and also serve as the battalion commander of the column's reconnaissance battalion.Thinking of you, you have to start leading troops. '

Although Hu Youliang felt a little surprised by such a decision, he somehow knew it.The main force of the Eighth Route Army is currently starting to establish anti-Japanese base areas during the Japanese-occupied period. Presumably, it is the next big move to deploy in various parts of the north.

As the sub-captain of the Saber Special Forces, Song Yuping is now establishing a Saber Branch in the far south, so he, the sub-captain of the Second Division, presumably wants to establish a branch of the Saber Special Forces in East Jidong.

More importantly, this appointment also means that their positions in the army have been promoted.They will also gradually transition from combatants to military commanders.And the troops they command may be the most elite troops of the Eighth Route Army in the future!

This also means that He Zhengdao can be said to be one of the special forces of the direct army that He Zhengdao has built with all his heart, and will become one of He Zhengdao's most reliable help in the army in the future! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although it was not long before the new year, He Zhengdao, the commander of the independent column, still felt that he was busy every day without touching the ground. ≯≥In addition to the column matters, he needs to be responsible for many things, and he also needs to take care of the arsenal.

Although the machinery and equipment brought back from Taiyuan earlier made major breakthroughs in various production and research in the arsenal.But for He Zhengdao, the current arsenal is more in the exploratory stage.

The only good thing is that the bullet production line dismantled from Taiyuan has successfully produced 7.62mm bullets for submachine guns.However, due to the insufficient supply of raw materials, the output of bullets is also not high.

But even so, the bullets and submachine guns currently produced by the arsenal every day have also begun to be equipped with the guards of the Eighth Route Army.For this submachine gun, according to He Zhengdao's requirements, a very strict system of special management has been formulated.

In addition to the successful production of bullets, the arsenal has successfully developed high-standard carbon steel and tungsten steel using the original small-scale steelmaking equipment.Provide favorable technical support for the subsequent production of standard rifles.

In short, after obtaining the equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, the experts invited from all over the country and even overseas showed great enthusiasm for research.Especially in the field of steel, he has accumulated a lot of experience in refining high-quality steel.

But regarding the establishment of a steel plant, it is still in the preparatory period.However, the pre-site selection work is still in progress.In the next year, it is estimated that He Zhengdao will also go to Baoji to stay for a while.

At present, all the steelmaking equipment seized from Taiyuan have been transferred to Baoji.After the steel plant is established, these equipment will be reinstalled, and the Eighth Route Army's steel production will begin to increase.

Even in order to develop high-performance gunpowder, He Zhengdao also assigned tasks to experts in charge of related research.Because in He Zhengdao's view, high-performance gunpowder is also very necessary.

After the fall of Taiyuan, even Yan Xishan transferred a lot of equipment to Linfen and other places.But many technicians from the Taiyuan Arsenal are now working in the Yulin Arsenal, producing weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army.

As far as the current situation is concerned, apart from the scarcity of raw materials, the most important thing that restricts the development of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal is the shortage of steel.It is precisely because of this situation that both the central and headquarters iron and steel plants have high hopes.

Although the current arsenal is lacking in high-performance steel.But for He Zhengdao, it is still very necessary to accumulate some corresponding research and development technologies.Therefore, at present, the scientific research team of the arsenal also has a lot of projects developed.

But if we say that the most gratifying achievements so far, it should be the progress in medical and chemical engineering.Considering that many special medicines in China need to be imported from abroad, even some antibacterial medicines may not be available for money.

In order to change this situation and to generate income for the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao wanted to develop these special medicines.Even He Zhengdao is not very clear about how to develop these drugs.

But he believes that as long as he gives support and investment, material antibacterial drugs like sulfonamide that have been developed abroad should be able to be developed.And now, sulfonamide has entered the stage of clinical trials.

In addition, the technology of extracting quinine from cinchona tree has been fully mastered by the Institute of Chemical Engineering.This also means that some specific medicines can basically be self-sufficient.

As more and more scholars with qualifications for studying abroad have been invited to the Yulin Research Institute successively.These experts who are keen on research are naturally very excited about the Eighth Route Army spending so much effort to support them in their research.

These days, many warlords in China seem to prefer to buy finished products from abroad.It seems that they are not very enthusiastic about investing money in research.The reason is that such capital investment is also a lot.

But for He Zhengdao, apart from equipment, raw materials, and board and lodging, many experts who were invited seemed not to pay much attention to the so-called salary.As far as they are concerned, it is a pleasure to have such a place available.

Originally, there were also many people who had doubts about such a large investment in research before, when they saw that these invested research projects continued to produce results.Only then did I really realize that this is a real small investment with big benefits!

At present, the sales of quinine alone are exchanged with the Eighth Route Army for urgently needed funds and supplies.

If the clinical trial of sulfonamide is over, it is believed that this drug will also bring huge benefits to the Eighth Route Army.

Just when the end of the year was approaching, the director of the arsenal said eagerly: "Commander, the experimental gun has been manufactured! After our experiments, it has met your requirements. You can come and accept it!"

He Zhengdao, who heard this, was also overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll bring someone over right away!"

"Commissioner, call Zhu Fei up, and wait to go to the arsenal!" '

Not long after, the two cars arrived at the arsenal that had been relocated outside Yulin City.He Zhengdao undoubtedly attached great importance to this arsenal.Most of the people living around the arsenal are family members of the army and the arsenal.

Except for the yard, the entire arsenal, including the factory buildings and laboratories, is all built in cave dwellings.Near the arsenal, He Zhengdao even deployed a main force regiment for vigilance, and a special warfare unit was on duty all year round.

As long as you enter the periphery of the arsenal, the patrol team formed in the name of the village-level militia will guard any personnel and vehicles entering the arsenal.Even merchants who used to be able to sell goods in the Yulin countryside were prohibited from entering this area.

The choice to set up the arsenal here is more due to the river next to the arsenal, and the water source is still relatively sufficient.Around this river, He Zhengdao built a dam in the river and built a hydropower plant.

It is this hydropower plant that provides ample power supply for the arsenal exhibition.Even if the cost is not low, it seems to be very worthwhile now.

Even the material transportation of the arsenal is directly escorted by the reconnaissance brigade.Most of the workers and family members who work in the arsenal are restricted to activities in the surrounding area. Without permission, it is also forbidden to enter this military restricted zone at will.

In fact, the arsenal currently established in Yulin City is more of a parts processing factory.The real core equipment and personnel of the arsenal were all moved into this newly constructed underground arsenal.

With Zhu Fei and several special forces members, He Zhengdao pulled Xiao Jinguang up together, and after going through the inspections in the car, he smoothly entered the underground parking garage of the arsenal, and met the factory director Qin Tai who was waiting here.

Looking at the two people who got out of the car, Qin Tai also said happily: "Commander, political commissar, you have fulfilled your mission. The performance of the three newly developed experimental guns has reached the standard. Just wait for the inspection by the two of you!" "

'Okay, Director Qin, thank you for your hard work! '

Under the guidance of Qin Tai and a group of managers of the arsenal, He Zhengdao and Xiao Jinguang came to the light weapons research center of the arsenal, which was also built underground.For He Zhengdao's arrival, the working experts are also very happy.

He smiled and said, "Commander He, you are finally willing to come here. Take a look! These three guns have all achieved the expected results. However, the cost of this gun also requires high-quality steel. It will be small!"

Listening to the words of these weapons experts, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "This is just our experimental gun, and it must be a lot of effort to finalize the design. But it is still necessary to accumulate technology first and perfect all technical reserves. .

Once our large-scale steel plant starts construction smoothly, I believe that the high-quality steel products that will restrict our development in the future will also be mass-produced.In this way, both the steel and the cost of the rifle will be well resolved.

By the way, what about my last suggestion?Did you improve the wear resistance of the barrel?You know, this gun will become the standard rifle of the Eighth Route Army in the future, and whether the barrel is durable is also one of the very important criteria! "

Facing He Zhengdao's inquiry, the expert said happily: "This is thanks to the commander's suggestion! The barrel we made of tungsten steel earlier, although the requirements in all aspects are good, but under continuous shooting, the accuracy cannot be reduced." will decline.

Later, we added a layer of chrome to the barrel according to what the commander said, and found that this problem was solved very well.With the barrels currently produced, the accuracy will not change much if one hundred bullets are fired continuously.

Most importantly, the life of the barrel has also been extended a lot.The three experimental guns that have been produced so far have all fired [-] bullets, and the bores of the guns are also not very worn.That's why we want the commander to come over and check it out! "

Looking at the three rifles placed in the laboratory, He Zhengdao also seemed very happy.Even if it is only a test gun at present, he also knows how important this rifle is to the Eighth Route Army.
