Chapter 31: Sun Desheng's Final Dream
The second day of Li Yunlong's departure, the penultimate day of Chu Yunfei's arrival.
As always, Zhao Jiayu was in full swing as soon as the sky dawned, the construction team composed of the surrounding people began to build roads, and the third battalion and the transportation team began to continue to build warehouses and garages.
After Zhao Gang dealt with some things, he took the guards and rode along a widened horse road behind Zhao Jiayu, and after walking five miles, he came to a valley.
The mountains are high and steep, and the horse trails wind along the steep mountain walls.
After another distance, Zhao Gang had a canyon cave.
The two cliff walls slope to form an open cave, and the importance of this place is indicated by the strong civil fortification bunker outside the cave entrance, several general-purpose machine guns behind the fortifications, and a platoon of soldiers on guard, and a looming lookout post on the top of the mountain.
On the entrance of the cave, a few large characters are carved on the wooden board - Repair Office.
"Commissar."
Seeing Zhao Gang, the platoon commander in charge of vigilance came out to salute.
"Platoon Commander Luo."
Zhao Gang responded, and walked into the repair shop.
Inside, the big coal stove is burning, a brand new machine is running, the sound of banging machinery is endless, and a group of people surround the machine, including Sun Desheng.
As you can see from the forging table in the corner, this was a former blacksmith's shop.
"Commissar."
Sun Desheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhao Gang coming in and leaving the crowd to say hello.
"How's it going over here?"
Zhao Gang doesn't know much about machinery, and the purpose of the establishment of this repair institute was to make tools out of the steel of the captured devils, but when Boss Chen gave the big jeep before, he gave a batch of machinery and equipment by the way, and also brought a mechanical master by the way.
Originally, the two of them planned to send this batch of machinery and equipment to the headquarters arsenal, but in the end, considering that the independent regiment really needed a certain amount of steel processing capacity, they stayed behind and established this repair shop.
"This batch of machinery and equipment is very new, very advanced, there are electric welding machines, there are coal-burning generators, as well as small forging machines, and several small cutting machine tools, we are now repairing and reinforcing the car, and can make some simple mechanical parts."
"That master's skills are also super powerful."
Sun Desheng is very excited, it can be said that he is very excited.
Although, at this time, this repair shop is nothing more than a low-profile 80s auto repair shop.
But it also made Sun Desheng unable to help himself.
This former cavalry master, at this time, has completely put aside his riding skills and devoted himself to the world of machinery, his hands are stained with oil, and his tone is even a little incoherent.
He finally discovers that steel and machinery are his ultimate dreams.
In the future, he must open a machine factory and build a piece of machinery himself.
"Welding, repairing and rebuilding cars."
Zhao Gang doesn't know much about machinery.
But these words say one thing, this repair shop now has a fairly good steel processing capacity, although it cannot make steel, but it can turn the seized steel into all kinds of desired shapes.
"Great."
Zhao Gang couldn't help but applaud.
These are so useful.
······
At the same time.
The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army was stationed.
Chu Yunfei received Zhao Gang's reply and nodded with satisfaction:
"Brother Meritorious Service, let's go and see the independent regiment together the day after tomorrow."
As he spoke, Chu Yunfei lifted the collar of his newly arrived military uniform, and his tone was full of joy.
Since the United States entered the war, his life has been getting better day by day, although there are still many difficulties, but he has seen the hope of victory, so Chu Yunfei is very happy at this time.
"Yes."
Fang Ligong put down the telegram in his hand, and then said to Chu Yunfei:
"Tuanza, I recently received some information."
"That Li Yunlong and his independent regiment shot down a Japanese bomber not long ago."
"Moreover, they are still organizing a large number of people to expand the horse road, using grain as wages, six to ten catties of grain a day, and now a large number of farmers go to their side, and there are also many people around our station."
Fang Ligong's tone was full of horror.
The previous shelling of Taiyuan Airport, he could understand, the artillery had a long range, the mortars were highly mobile, and as long as they found an opportunity, their 358th Regiment could also do it.
Ambush the devil transport convoy, this is not difficult, the devil transport team is not strong, generally only one or two squadrons of escort force, their 358th Regiment can do it by pulling out two battalions casually.
As for shooting down the devil plane, this difficulty is slightly higher, the Type 24 heavy machine gun equipped with the 358th Regiment has anti-aircraft capabilities, but the 7.92 heavy machine gun has limited power, and the number of heavy machine gun bullets is also insufficient.
But it is too incredible to organize people to expand the horse road and return food······
Is the Eighth Route Army so rich?
Also thousands of people, the least per day
"Even, even the twelve regiments in the north ·····"
In the end, Fang Ligong also added, but did not finish.
Chu Yunfei nodded, he knew what the sentence behind his adjutant was.
The 12th Regiment is the regiment of the Jin Sui Army, stationed next to the 358th Regiment, but that regiment, the regiment commander's style is not good, resulting in some vices in the regiment, and the grassroots soldiers are living a very bad life, in this case, there will inevitably be a loss of soldiers.
"It seems that Li Yunlong has got a lot of food."
Chu Yunfei was thoughtful.
"So much food from them?"
Fang Ligong was puzzled, and even a little jealous and envious: "Thousands of people, six to ten catties of fine grain per day, or distributed on the same day, it is dozens of tons per day, which is not a small number." ”
Their 358th Regiment is still short of food.
"I don't know."
Chu Yunfei's tone was solemn.
Gold in troubled times?
No, for their army, adequate food is much more important than gold.
"It seems, our neighbor..." Chu Yunfei muttered to himself.
As the commander of the Jinsui Army, he knows the current world situation.
The Japanese army was defeated in the Battle of Midway, the US Navy was like a bamboo, and the tide of anti-war in Japan was surging, and the war that lasted for more than five years has made Japan's rivers decline day by day, and every year is not as good as a year, while the government has obtained more and more American supplies, and its own strength has begun to recover.
It is foreseeable that it will not be too long before the Republic of China will usher in a final victory with the support of the United States.
One of the purposes of his visit to the Independent Regiment this time was to inspect the strength of the Independent Regiment and prepare for the future, after all, if the devil leaves the Republic of China, then the next ·····
·······
At the same time.
Taiyuan.
Yamamoto is also working on this issue.
However, his intelligence was more accurate than Chu Yunfei's, so he was even more surprised:
"The scale of more than 10,000 people is based on food."
Yamamoto's tone was amazed.
"Your Excellency, there is also intelligence that the Independent Regiment has obtained a large number of food supplies not long ago, and the quantity is very large, but because it has strengthened the vigilance of the surrounding area, we have not learned specific information."
The reported intelligence devil continued, and after a pause, the devil continued:
"In addition, three of the intelligence officers of the special high-tech department have also been discovered..."
