Zuojiazhuang.

The new regimental headquarters.

It's a slightly dilapidated courtyard, but you can see a lot of new renovations.

The gate of the original courtyard, including the threshold, has been removed, and even part of the courtyard wall has been demolished, and the smooth dirt road extends from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the interior of the small courtyard of the regiment headquarters.

Inside the yard, five new small parking spaces were built, and at this time two three-wheeled motorcycles were parked here.

Inside the house.

"Lao Ding, you have a good life this little time."

Kong Jie held a cup of hot tea, looked at the tea leaves in the teacup, and sighed:

"There aren't many of these good teas, even at the headquarters."

Master Kong has two hobbies, cigarettes, or leaf cigarettes, he doesn't like cigarettes, he likes strong and flavorful leaf cigarettes, and the other is tea, all kinds of tea.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Ding Wei smiled:

"I made a small fortune last week, and the little devil had a transport team that passed from the edge of our defense area to Heyuan County, and I easily killed them all and seized a little bit of good things."

Li Yunlong fought against the devils, and he was extremely ruthless, and his move was hundreds of shells, Ding Wei and Kong Jie naturally would not be honest, but the two of them knew that the new first regiment and the new second regiment needed time to develop and digest the weapons and ammunition that Li Yunlong had replenished, so they just made a small fuss and occasionally hit a small turret. Bully some surrounding puppet troops, ambush the transport team, and train the soldiers.

And the devil's eyes were focused on Li Yunlong, and this drizzle-like loss was directly ignored.

"The transport team... A little bit of supplies. ”

Kong Jie smiled, and his tone was emotional.

The transport squad means twelve horse-drawn carts, loaded with a minimum of 2.5 tons of various horse and bean feed, white flour corn and grain supplies, as well as about 40 devils, more than 20 puppet army escorts, equipped with four machine guns, and grenadiers. If it was at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, no, even three and a half years ago, that is, when he was still the head of the independent regiment, this was simply a great victory, a great harvest, worthy of celebration by the whole regiment, of course, it was also a hard bone, and the soldiers of the whole regiment needed to be dispatched, and they might not even be able to gnaw it down.

Afterwards, you also need to guard against the devil's revenge.

But now, it is indeed a little bit of supplies, drizzle, and the new second regiment alone, the 3,500 soldiers of the whole regiment plus the road repair team, consume more than 10 tons of food and materials every day.

This small convoy is not enough to stuff the teeth.

Moreover, after being killed, the devil is not the same as before, just send someone to investigate, and then the future transport team will detour.

"Why are you going to the Independence Regiment this time?"

Ding Wei asked suddenly.

Kong Jie went to the independent regiment this time, and then because of the fast speed of the three jumpers, he ran to him to catch up with the old days, and by the way, he had a meal.

"Go and learn from it."

Kong Jie took a sip of tea:

"Now on my side, there are 2,500 people in the road repair team alone, not counting their families, plus the population from all over the country, it is about to become a small city, I found that it is really not good to use the army's management, although the superiors have also sent some political workers, but it still doesn't work, there is always chaos, so I went to Li Yunlong to see how they managed."

"On his side, the scale and population are more than ten times better than our two."

"It's normal to have trouble, and so is my side."

Faced with this topic, Ding Wei's tone was relaxed:

"We are good at commanding in wars, but we have no experience at all in the construction and development of base areas, and even in economic construction, and even our superiors have no experience, after all, we are taking a new road."

"It's normal to have some mess now, and the experience has to be summed up."

"We didn't make a lot of mistakes in the early stage of military struggle, even the two of us, when we just became the head of the regiment, it wasn't all kinds of things that went wrong?"

"Indeed."

Recalling his journey as a regiment leader, Kong Jie sighed.

After going through so much, it now seems that many failures were avoided in the past, but at that time, due to lack of experience, the problem was not found and the problem was not handled correctly.

"The little devil is going down, and one day he will be kicked out, and when the time comes, hehe, the situation will be very different from now."

Speaking of this, Ding Wei suddenly lowered his tone slightly:

"We can't keep fighting, we have to return to the country and economic construction after all, this is the only way to make the people of the whole country have enough food and live a happy life, but again, we are a new road."

"Previous failures have proved that we can't copy all the experiences of others, and we must follow our own path, after all, the situation in each place is different, and the problems faced are also different."

"Li Yunlong, on his side, is not only building a solid rear base, but also engaged in large-scale construction, building factories, and developing the economy, and constantly sending young cadres and outstanding talents."

"I estimate that this is for Li Yunlong to find a way to accumulate experience and talents for the future."

"Shhh

Kong Jie took a slight breath:

"Li Yunlong's side is really doing a good job, the management is in place, there is basically no big mess, people who don't have fields can find jobs to eat, and the people are getting better and better day by day, and they are more and more supportive of us."

"But all the things he did, and the food stamps·····"

Kong Jie said this, and stopped.

Ding Wei knew what Kong Jie wanted to say later, and he smiled:

"It's okay for a small shop, one person can make a decision, but once the shop is big, there will be different opinions, which is inevitable and necessary."

"Just like our regiment, what important decisions are made, not just a regiment commander patting his head to decide, but a meeting of the regiment headquarters, and the political commissar, staff officer, battalion and company commanders make the final decision."

"Li Yunlong was very dishonest before and made a lot of trouble, but more than three years ago, he killed Sakata, and his superiors removed him and sent him to the quilt factory as the director.

"Moreover, he also got 800 tons of cotton in which year, and this batch of cotton saved a lot of people."

"Yes, it was a cold winter."

Kong Jie agreed.

"That time it was so weird that he wasn't praised above, and there was no written reward."

Ding Wei continued:

"But this credit must be counted on Li Yunlong's head, and he finally has a good image for this matter."

"Then, the above gave me the new regiment that Li Yunlong worked so hard to build, and let him be responsible for forming the new second regiment, Li Yunlong still has the same attitude, he has opinions in his mouth, and he has already begun to think about how to quickly make the new second regiment have combat effectiveness."

"After that, it was Yamamoto's secret service team that attacked the headquarters, and you bumped into him, and he was urgently transferred to the independent regiment to clean up the mess."

"Li Yunlong, it's still the same, and he has some opinions in his mouth, after he arrived at the Independent Regiment, he did a real job, not long after he went, the Independent Regiment also recovered."

"What about after all these things·····"

Ding Wei said that he stopped here and looked at Kong Jie with a smile.

"Hmm."

Kong Jie nodded, and let out a long voice, he understood what he meant.

Ding Wei continued:

"It's normal to have different opinions, but in the end, it must be the dominant side, or the proven decision is passed."

"In the past few years since Li Yunlong took over the Independent Regiment, how many belongings has he purchased?"

"Until the last devil sweep, there were no less than 1,000 Czech-style machine guns coming out of him, hundreds of thousands of German-made large tumors, millions of bullets, and mortars and Type 92 infantry guns."

"More than that."

Kong Jie added.

After Li Yunlong came, he also worked in the independent regiment for a period of time, and he knew how generous Boss Chen's action was, and he definitely got no less than 250 tons of weapons and ammunition for him and Ding Wei to fight the turret that time.

"There is also gold, medicines, food, machinery and equipment, raw materials for explosives."

According to Zhang Wanhe's work report, as of last month, the production line of grenadiers has produced a total of 3,000 grenadiers to equip the troops.

Ding Wei said with a smile:

"After arriving at Zhao Jiayu, the weapons and equipment will not be mentioned, Li Yunlong has provided almost 30,000 tons of grain to the logistics department in the past four months, because of this batch of grain, and now our border currency has also been completely stabilized."

"These grains were given by Boss Chen."

"But Zhao Jiayu is still opening all kinds of small factories, coal mines, schools, organizing a lot of manpower to open up wasteland, raising pigs and chickens, and even building canals to divert water, and it is expected that they will produce no less grain next year."

"Also, the ladder tax method is being piloted over there, and the total tax revenue has increased more than 100 times compared to four months ago, and it is still increasing rapidly."

"More than a hundredfold!"

Kong Jie's eyes widened.

The consumption of the troops mainly depends on the taxes of the base areas, mainly agricultural taxes, otherwise it is impossible for the troops to conjure up materials and money, and generally a hundred ordinary people can feed a soldier of the Eighth Route Army to participate in the war without production.

More than 100 times, judging from the population growth of Zhao Jiayu's side, the number of people has increased by almost ten times.

"No wonder..."

Kong Jie muttered to himself.

The army is strong, the common people are living a better life, the products are abundant, and they can obtain a large amount of food and other materials, as well as a large amount of taxes to support the development of the army, no wonder they can resist so many objections.

······

Logistics.

in one room.

"This is sent by the independent regiment."

Zhang Wan looked at a document sent by Staff Officer Mo from the headquarters, and then opened his mouth, full of horror:

"The independent regiment is ready to form a plant for explosives with a capacity of fifty tons per day?"

"Shhh

As he spoke, he took a long breath of cool air

What is the concept of fifty tons per day?

This is not black powder, but high-quality explosives, after the batch of raw materials sent by Li Yunlong ran out, the annual output of his arsenal was not so much.

That's nearly 20,000 tons of explosives a year.

"When the raw materials are sufficient, it takes one to one and a half years to reach the maximum production capacity."

The latter sentence made Zhang Wanhe breathe a sigh of relief.

If the independent regiment starts tomorrow and stuffs him with 50 tons of high-quality explosives every day, nearly 20,000 tons a year, he is afraid that he will go into cardiac arrest with joy.

Zhao Gang finally found that his plan to reach maximum capacity in half a year was not working.

Even if there is a complete production line, but because of the site and the lack of enough skilled workers, although there is a master master to guide and train, but after all, there is only one, plus it is also responsible for the repair of the equipment shop, so it takes more than a year to reach the maximum production capacity.

"Need tung oil and salt?"

Seeing the requirements behind, Zhang Wanhe, who was originally a little worried, waved his hand:

"It's simple, I'll find someone to arrange it right away, and I'll give as much as he wants."

"There's more."

Counselor Mo reminded.

"And?"

Zhang Wanhe looked down and took another breath:

"Parts processing plant? Firing pins and other small parts can be manufactured in large quantities. ”

"Great."

This time, Zhang Wanhe jumped up happily.

Not only new weapons, but also maintenance, the firing pin is also a big trouble, those Czech rifles that Li Yunlong came out of are not a problem, and the firing pin accessories are scary, but Hanyang and other rifles are also needed.

"I'll immediately arrange for someone to buy and collect supplies, and then go to the independent group myself."

Zhang Wanhe said.

······

Separate regiments.

Zhao Jiayu.

Although there are very few devil spies who infiltrate the army, after all, the regular army needs to be audited, and the card is very strict, but it is not difficult to enter Zhao Jiayu and even join the construction brigade.

It's just that the devil doesn't know what the independent regiment intends to do.

But on such a scale, the total number is more than five thousand.

The requirements are also strange, you need to work in the factory, it is better to focus on the recruitment of experienced workers in the chemical plant, and the direct management of the army still makes the devil smell the slightest bit wrong.

Yamamoto, who was in charge of Zhao Jiayu's intelligence, immediately stepped up his investigation.

After losing a large number of spies, Yamamoto finally discovered that the Independent Regiment seemed to be building a large factory, and the battlefield was active, and part of it was built in the open air, and part of it was located in a cave, and a lot of new chemical machinery and equipment were also discovered.

But what exactly is produced is still not clear.

Later, Yamamoto received news that the guerrillas had recently been collecting and buying tung oil in large quantities and increasing the production of salt, which were eventually transported to the Independent Regiment.

This made Yamamoto feel that things were not going well.

Such a big move is definitely not a trivial matter.

After being beaten several times by Grand Master Li, Yoshimoto also greatly increased his vigilance against the Independent Regiment, and immediately ordered Yamamoto to investigate the movements of the Independent Regiment after knowing it, and finally, Yamamoto finally decided to use the two high-level spies lurking inside the Independent Regiment.

······

Zhao Jiayu.

Separate regiments.

"That Wang Qing is acting again."

Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters and said to Li Yunlong: "This devil asked to send someone to conduct a spy investigation on the workers on the grounds of preventing spies from infiltrating new workers and sabotaging production. ”

"Huh..."

In the end, Zhao Gang sneered.

If it weren't for another high-level spy who hadn't found out, he would have killed this Wang Qing a long time ago.

"In terms of security, are you ready?"

Zhao Gang asked.

The explosives factory had a great deal at stake, and Li Yunlong personally watched the safety issues, and the guard company sent a platoon, and then mobilized a company from the third battalion to take charge of security work.

"No problem."

Li Yunlong's tone was confident:

"I have also recently stepped up anti-aircraft fire."

"Then I'll agree with him."

Zhao Gang said with a smile, but the smile was a little sinister.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Zhao Gang continued: "There is a group of young students and anti-Japanese intellectuals who plan to come to our side, but they are stuck on the side of the Zhengtai line, and the comrades in the enemy-occupied areas ask us to send someone to answer them. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Yunlong nodded.
