The reconnaissance battalion of more than 1,000 people was all released, turned back from Shigatse, and returned to the vicinity of Lhasa, and the order given to them by brigade commander Li Yong was that even if it was heaven and earth, we must find out this factory, and we must dig three feet into the ground, and the current Lhasa is our own territory. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

Shigatse and Lhasa are separated by more than 300 kilometers, and because the roads are rugged and the troops have difficulty walking, the reconnaissance battalion, which travels almost entirely by jeeps, tosses and turns, for more than a day and almost two days before returning to Lhasa, the largest city in Tibet, again.

The reconnaissance battalion of more than 1,000 people was not a small unit, and it was very incomprehensible to take the liberty of returning to Lhasa, because the military headquarters of the 18 th Army and the units directly under the army were stationed in Lhasa, and Zhang Jinsong rushed to the military headquarters as soon as possible to report to several commanders.

Lhasa, the headquarters of the 18th Army.

Army Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan were stationed in Lhasa with the troops directly under the military headquarters and the 154th Regiment (only the 52nd Division, the main division of the 18th Army, arrived in Lhasa, while the 53rd and 54th Divisions were building a road from Qamdo to Lhasa, and the PLA troops entering Tibet had already suffered from being unable to keep up with logistical supplies)

Although it is said that the independent brigade that arrived in advance has laid a little foundation, but the follow-up work is still endless, and the commanders of the two 18th armies are busy in a mess, and on this day the guards came in to report, and the reconnaissance battalion commander of the independent brigade was outside, saying that he wanted to see the commander to report the important situation.

Commander Zhang Guohua looked at Political Commissar Tan Guansan with an inquiring gaze, many years of working together have made the two very tacit, and sometimes they can communicate without speaking, Political Commissar Tan spread his hands and said: "Don't look at me, I don't know what these guys are doing when they come back." ”

"If you don't stay in Shigatse, what are you doing when you come back?" Commander Zhang Guohua muttered and shouted: "Let them in." ”

Zhang Jinsong and the instructor walked in a few steps to salute the commander and political commissar, they had not seen each other for more than ten days, the army headquarters was much stronger than before, the room looked very neat and clean inside and out, several telephones were placed on the table, and a large-format combat map was hung all over the wall.

Commander Zhang Guohua asked a little strangely: "You two guys are not in Shigatse to help your brigade commander." What are you doing here? Don't look at me as the military department here, and the food is not as good as your brigade, hmph, want me to fight the autumn wind here? No way. ”

Of course, Zhang Jinsong knew that the army commander was joking with him, but he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't know what to say, because first, the gap between positions was too big. The second is that he is not very familiar with Commander Zhang Guohua, so he can't talk nonsense.

Zhang Jinsong is a veteran of the Independent Brigade and a veteran of the Second Column, and he is very familiar with a large number of commanders of the Second Column. But today he didn't dare to speak, so he could only stand there like a wire stalk.

Who is the political commissar of Tan Guansan!! Knowing that the commanders of the two battalion levels of the Independent Brigade were a little embarrassed and restrained in front of Commander Zhang Guohua, he explained with a smile:

"The commander is joking with you, it's almost noon, and your battalion will have dinner with the military guard company. But the good stuff doesn't. ”

Zhang Jinsong had no choice but to smirk a few times and replied: "Long, it's okay to eat enough, we are scouts, running around all day long, there is no shortage of wild things, and there is no shortage of oil and water in our stomachs." ”

"Hmph, I know that you don't lack oil and water in your stomachs, and the matter of eating is put aside. Report to work first, why did this kid Li Yong get you back? What is the ulterior motive? ”

Commander Zhang Guohua was in a good mood, and then teased them a few words, Zhang Jin said in a relaxed heart, what is the ulterior motive, we are coming back to fish for treasures in the open.

Coming back to the army commander for help was explained by Li Yong in advance, as long as the commander agreed. It is much better for Commander Zhang Guohua or Political Commissar Tan Guansan to come forward and find out about the local Kashag government than to simply look for it randomly.

This was also done after consideration, and the ordnance factory was built with the aid of the British. If there is really such a factory, the Tibetan Kashag government will definitely know about it, and it will not be willing to let go, at this time, the commander of the 18th Army will come forward, not afraid that they will not be convinced, this is Li Yong's plan.

"Commander, we caught a spy sent by the British in Shigatse, this guy confessed that they had supported an ordnance factory in Tibet more than ten years ago, which was a full set of British equipment, but until now we don't know where this factory is, so our brigade commander sent our battalion back, wanting to focus on the vicinity of Lhasa City, and determined to find them."

The distance between Lhasa and Shigatse is roughly 300 kilometers, and the wired telephone between the independent brigade and the military headquarters has not yet been paved, so communication can only rely on telegraphs, but no one can communicate with people face-to-face in the end, so Li Yong asked Zhang Jinsong to report directly to the army commander and political commissar.

Zhang Jinsong's report surprised both Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan, this is amazing news, the weapons factory is not a trivial matter, and it is exactly what the troops urgently need now, but I have not heard of any arsenals in Lhasa that can produce weapons and ammunition.

Damn, this thing is really strange, just look at the tattered equipment of the Tibetan army, you can know that they don't have their own normal source of weapons at all, where can there be any weapons manufacturing factory.

"Are you mistaken? Why doesn't Lao Tzu know what other arsenals the Tibetan army has, and the arsenal is not a small object, and it can still be made to run away if you put it under your mouth? ? ”

Commander Zhang Guohua was very skeptical of the authenticity of the intelligence sources of the Independent Brigade.

Whether it is the troops of the first field or the second field, the weapons and equipment of the troops are basically all from the captured (except for the four fields, the four fields not only have a large number of Soviet-style and Japanese-style equipment but also have a strong production capacity), Commander Zhang Guohua and the Eighteenth Army are no worse than the independent brigade in cleaning up the battlefield and grabbing things, and units like the weapons factory are simply chickens that can only lay golden eggs.

Tan Guansan, the political commissar on the side, patted Commander Zhang Guohua on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, if it's ours, you won't be able to run, I think so, let's find someone from the Kashag government to verify it first, they should know the local situation better than us." ”

Political Commissar Tan got to the point, whether there is such a so-called weapons factory in Tibet is still the most familiar to the locals.

"That's right, why did you forget the head snake on the ground, come here, prepare a car for me, Lao Tzu wants to go there in person."

Commander Zhang Guohua, who was in his thirties, was resolute and resolute, and since he had a case, he immediately took people to the Kashag Government in Tibet to learn about the situation.

The army commander personally came forward, and Zhang Jinsong and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion temporarily camped with the help of the military headquarters guard company and waited for news.

The guard company of the 18th Army has more than 150 people, and it is a company that is not only fully staffed but also slightly out, but today they finally know what it means to be a small thing, and according to the idea of the guard company, although it is troublesome to arrange food and lodging for the reconnaissance battalion of the independent brigade, it is not a big deal, isn't it just three or four hundred people, but as soon as they come into contact, they are all dumbfounded.

Damn, what kind of reconnaissance battalion is this from the Independent Brigade, it's also called a battalion? The company commander and instructor of the guard company were a little confused, they had heard that the independent brigade was large, but they didn't expect that it could be so large, a battalion would get more than 1,000 people, and the guard company would not be able to use it even if it vacated all its rooms.

The reconnaissance battalion has experienced this kind of thing more than once, and every time it deals with the brother troops, it is basically the same, Zhang Jinsong grinned and said: "Don't be so troublesome, we won't stay long, besides, we have our own tents, and it is not a problem to simply stay for a few nights." ”

Not to mention how the guard company arranged food and lodging for the reconnaissance battalion, Commander Zhang Guohua was anxious to find the Kashag government and ask them about the situation of the so-called ordnance factory.

According to the staff of the Kashag government, there really was such an ordnance factory in Lhasa, and it was indeed built with the aid of the British more than ten years ago, but the official of the Kashag government said quite embarrassedly, but later it was dismounted again, and the ordnance factory was not completed.

Why? Why should a good weapons factory be dismounted? The official went on to explain: "We lacked skilled engineers and technicians in Tibetan areas, and although we built the factory with the help of the British, as soon as the British left, our own production was very inefficient, and there was no technology for machine and equipment maintenance, so the factory was often shut down, and later we had to close the weapons factory." ”

Commander Zhang Guohua figured out that there was indeed an arms factory built with the aid of the British, but under the circumstances at that time, this matter could only be done secretly, and the British did not dare to openly support Tibet's independence, so as soon as the factory was built, all the technicians were withdrawn.

The British still did not know much about Tibet, and the Tibetan areas were too backward to think that the Lhasa Ordnance Factory would not be able to even handle the simplest operation and maintenance after leaving, so they had to close its doors in the end.

To put it bluntly, Lhasa lacked skilled workers to operate the machine, and the ordnance factory could not continue to operate, so it had to stop working, and this is the reason.

Damn, it turns out that this is the case, the emotional Lao Tzu can't find this weapons factory, it turned out to be closed, Commander Zhang Guohua turned his mind and continued to ask: "What happened after the factory stopped?" ”

The Kashag government officials had no choice but to continue to answer, and he did not dare not answer the questions of the army commander, you must know that in Tibet at that time, the army commander Zhang Guohua was almost the number one commander.

"Back to the words of the army commander, after the weapons were suspended, a mint was built on the address of the original factory to produce coins, and all the original equipment was sealed."
