Chapter 291: The Surprising Arsenal (Three Watches)
291
Soon, Deputy Commander Zhou arrived at Commander Jiang's official residence, and then the staff next to him handed the telegram sent to them by Hu Bin to Deputy Commander Zhou.
"This, we really can't say anything about Hu Bin, this money is indeed his, we can't rob him!" As soon as Deputy Commander Zhou saw this telegram, he knew what Commander Chiang meant, and immediately opened his mouth to speak.
"Now that the country is in trouble, he Hu Bin has so much money, and he is still robbing the money of the devil, it stands to reason that he must make some contribution to our country's anti-Japanese cause.
Besides, Hu Bin is a soldier of your Eighth Route Army, you can completely persuade Hu Bin to take out some money to support our anti-Japanese cause, don't say Hu Bin now, even those people at home and abroad, in order to resist Japan, are tightening their belts to live and support our country's resistance against Japan, Hu Bin is no exception! Commander Jiang sat there and said to Deputy Commander Zhou.
"But as the telegram said, Hu Bin has made great contributions to our country's anti-Japanese cause on the battlefield, whether it is killing devils or writing infantry drill codes, Hu Bin's contribution is huge, and it is not in return!" Deputy Commander Zhou immediately pushed back.
The meaning is obvious, so far, Hu Binli's contributions, Chongqing has not issued any rewards to Hu Bin, that is, it has given some weapons and ammunition to Yan'an, but it was also given to contain Japan's supplies from going south, and it is not entirely because of Hu Bin.
Commander Jiang heard Deputy Commander Zhou's words, his face flushed slightly, but he immediately said: "We have decided to award Hu Bin the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, this is a great honor!" ”
This is a great honor for Hu Bin. But with so many merits, just a medal is a bit unreasonable, if it is the general of the national army who has made such a great contribution, it must be more than such a medal! Deputy Commander Zhou said again.
"Well, what else does he want?" Commander Jiang looked at him and asked.
"I don't know what he wants, he sent this telegram. It also shows that for the merits he made before, he did not give due honor. Deputy Commander Zhou shook his head and said.
"I can give him the rank of major general and the establishment of another division, but according to what I know, he is still young, and I will talk about it in a few years, and we will all remember his merits now!" Commander Jiang immediately said.
"You have to tell him this yourself. Otherwise, this misunderstanding can't be eliminated, this money, we really can't be the master, if you want money, you can tell him directly, we don't dare to deduct his money, in case he sends another clear telegram, then the matter is big! "Deputy Commander Zhou sat there. Commander Jiang said with a direct look.
Commander Jiang heard it and looked at Deputy Commander Zhou with a frown. Deputy Commander Zhou's words just now are very obvious, that is, the telegram sent to him by Hu Bin is already good, if Hu Bin sends a clear telegram, then the people of the whole country will know about it, and it will not end well.
"Hu Bin's work, you can do it. We need to use this money to buy weapons and ammunition, and as you know, our country is in great difficulty right now, fighting a war. It takes a lot of money. Keep doing Hu Bin's work! Commander Jiang said to Deputy Commander Zhou, but his tone was lowered, and he couldn't force Hu Bin directly, if Hu Bin really invented the code telegraph, it would be difficult to say.
"We have been doing Hu Bin's work, but it is quite difficult, this matter is not something he can call the shots alone, there are dozens of people who act with him, they have to make decisions together, but we will try our best to do it!" Deputy Commander Zhou immediately said, knowing in his heart that it was impossible to take out this money.
However, on the side of the Commandery, Zhong Mochu had just arrived here and finished sending the telegram, and after the Commander knew about it, he immediately began to send someone to send Hu Bin to the arsenal, and the sooner he left Yan'an, the better.
That night, Hu Bin and a few cadres who escorted him over went to the arsenal.
But at this time, at the base camp, an order was issued to assassinate Hu Bin, and the entire Japanese intelligence agencies in North China all moved and began to find out where Hu Bin was, and then the Japanese side would send a team to kill Hu Bin.
"It's been 2 days, and there is no news of Hu Bin yet, damn it, where is Hu Bin hiding!" Sawada Shigeru, as the coordinator of this operation, said very unhappily when he found that Hu Bin had not yet been found.
Now he didn't dare to stay at the command at all, the ghost knew when Hu Bin would come over and attack again, Sawada Shigeru had already put the headquarters in his barracks.
"Report, base camp telegram, found that Hu Bin appeared in Yan'an, but where is it now, I don't know yet!" A staff officer came over with a telegram and said.
"Yo Xi, Hu Bin actually hid in Yan'an, and sure enough, he knew that we were going to attack him!" After Shigeru Sawada saw the telegram, he nodded with satisfaction.
The staff officer continued to wait.
"Send a telegram to our intelligence officers in Yan'an, find Hu Bin's location, and then keep an eye on him, once his location is determined, we will send an operation force over, Hu Bin, you are dead this time!" Sawada Shigeru confessed to the staff officer.
"Hey!" The staff officer left immediately.
"Report, now all units are urging supplies to pass, the Sixth Division, and the Twentieth Division are urging, and the materials in various places are not enough!" Another staff officer spoke.
"Baga, now we have limited vehicles, don't worry, they will be delivered!" Shigeru Sawada heard it and spoke.
Now on the Shanxi side, even his military rank is the highest, so the divisions and regiments below are all under his control, so what is the situation, those wing commanders directly sent him a telegram, which made him quite annoying!
Hu Bin didn't know that the devil's intelligence agency was already preparing to attack him, and he was now quite depressed to report to the arsenal. He also pleaded with the commander during the day today, but the commander just didn't agree, and he must let Hu Bin go to the arsenal.
In the end, there was no way, Hu Bin could only pass.
It wasn't until it was almost dawn that Hu Bin and the others arrived at the arsenal. The arsenal is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and the vigilance inside is very strong, Hu Bin and the others passed through a total of 10 checkpoints all the way yesterday, all of which are to check documents.
Hu Bin arrived at the arsenal, and when he went up the last big slope, Hu Bin was stunned. Because there are dozens of old thatched huts below, and judging from the surrounding environment of those old thatched huts, these thatched huts are inhabited, and some of them have dried clothes outside.
"This, this, this is the arsenal?" Hu Bin pointed to the thatched huts and asked the cadres who sent him over.
"This is a residential area, and the conditions are more difficult now!" One of the cadres nodded.
"I, I, I'm going to the front!" Hu Bin looked at those thatched huts, very depressed, didn't know what to say, and immediately said that he would go back to the front line, but everyone ignored him.
Soon, they arrived below, and saw several cadre-looking people in the distance, and there were two people with glasses standing there waiting.
"Welcome, Team Leader Wang, welcome to our side to inspect!" At this time, a middle-aged man standing in the middle, covered in black, came over with a smile and stretched out his hand to hold one of the cadres and said.
"I sent someone here, you received the telegram before, this, Hu Bin, came here to be the deputy factory director, and he also came to study!" The person called Team Leader Wang smiled and began to introduce to everyone, and after introducing Hu Bin, Team Leader Wang introduced Hu Bin to the people from the arsenal.
Among them, the big black man is the director of the factory here, called Li Da Hammer, the family has been striking iron for several generations, and his father directly called him Li Da Hammer, so now the big name is also Li Da Hammer, and the other people are Wang Xinyun, the secretary here, Zhang Ke, the chief engineer, and Liang Hong, the deputy chief engineer.
After Hu Bin met them, they immediately took Hu Bin to the canteen, saying that it was a canteen, which was a wooden shelf with a roof on it, sheltered from the wind and rain, and there were about 10 tables in it.
After breakfast, the men gave Hu Bin his papers, and then took him to visit the arsenal, which was in a huge cave, which was divided into various cubicles by those people with stones, and Hu Bin stood there and looked inside, and found that there were at least 200 people working inside, as well as a few simple machines.
"Come on, Director Hu, this is our firearms repair place, there are more than 20 technicians here responsible for repairing firearms, in front of us is our bullet reloading factory, those bullet shells sent by you from the front line, we are going to reload!" Li Dazhui smiled and introduced Hu Bin in front of him.
When Hu Bin saw this, he didn't feel like an arsenal at all, but more like those dilapidated accumulation factories in later generations, with everything. Here, only repairs of firearms and reloading of ammunition can be carried out, and nothing else.
After Hu Bin looked at the entire factory with a calm face, and then he and Li Dazhui sent Team Leader Wang and them away, Hu Bin sent them to the door of the arsenal, turned to look at the big cave behind him, and sighed.
"Why, don't you look down on our arsenal?" Li Dazhui looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"Hey, I'd rather go to the front!" Hu Bin said with a sigh.
"It's okay, it's going to be half a year, anyway, there's nothing you can do here, you just patrol every day, and we'll do the rest!" Li Dazhui looked at Hu Bin with a smile and said.
When Hu Bin came before, the commander personally sent him a telegram, told him about Hu Bin's affairs, and also instructed him to pay attention to confidentiality and not let people outside know that Hu Bin was here! (To be continued.) )
