Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

The matter of riding a horse is over after a day of selection.In fact, such things, in the eyes of the common people, are more playful than others.After all, thousands of people are marching on stilts in various garrisons. It is fun enough to talk about it, not to mention the children who followed in circles, which brought endless joy to everyone.

In one day, 800 soldiers with the best performance on stilts were selected, and then these 800 soldiers left their current positions and came to Sunjiaji for a three-day second training camp.

As the leader of the detachment, Hu Changyi has such courage and can completely mobilize the soldiers of the entire detachment for such a training camp.Tian E couldn't do this, at least not a few days ago.The reason is very simple. What Tian E is worried about is the sudden arrival of the devils, and the mobilization of troops will destabilize the morale of the grassroots troops and cause losses.

And Hu Changyi came at the right time, so he didn't worry about this problem.First of all, Hu Changyi knew that the little devil would not dare to provoke the Eighth Route in Southeast Shanxi easily, and secondly, during the time when he let go of the construction of the detachment, the impact caused by the original transfer of 800 veterans has passed, and the restoration of various grassroots units has also been completed.Now, another 800 people are transferred, which is just a bit of confusion.

The key point is that among the 800 veterans selected in the end, more than 300 of them are fighters of the current quick response brigade. Only more than 400 people were actually drawn from the three brigades.

Herod... In the racetrack at the foot of the mountain outside Sunjiaji Village, the neighing of war horses resounded, and the clatter of horseshoes resounded.After three days of familiarization, the soldiers selected for the second time rode in batches, and then ran past everyone one by one under the watchful eye of Sun Desheng.

Professional things are left to professional people.Therefore, Hu Changyi seconded Sun Desheng from the Second Mobile Detachment for two weeks with just one phone call.The purpose, of course, is to take charge of the cavalry issue of the Quick Reaction Brigade.Sun Desheng is an old cavalryman with sharp eyes. He can quickly tell who is suitable for riding a horse.

A day later, the new 400 quick response brigade soldiers were confirmed, and Sun Desheng took them for cavalry training, and Peng Zizhen followed with soldiers from the armored assault company.

In other words, these veterans of the armored assault company can actually ride horses.This may be related to previous experience.Well, the original guards platoon followed Hu Changyi to the arsenal all day long, which gave the horses of the cavalry platoon a lot of free time.As a result, the veterans of the armored assault company who helped out in the shooting range and the workshop also had the opportunity to ride horses.In addition, most of the initial soldiers of the armored assault company were from the transport team.

After waving his hand to solve the matter of the quick reaction brigade, Hu Changyi returned to Hujia Village and continued to manage the affairs of the arsenal.

Counting the days, half of 1942 has passed, and the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War has arrived, but Jiuzhai did not feel much pressure.Of course, the people of Jizhong are still wailing under the devil's iron hooves.Although the main force of the devils withdrew from the Jizhong District, the puppet army and some small-scale devils were still there.Therefore, the headquarters decided to hold a meeting, send troops, and recover Jizhong District.

In fact, during the two days from May 5st to May 21nd, the Jizhong District issued an instruction to restore the anti-enemy "clearance and suppression" area, instructing the main forces of the 22th, 6th, and 8th military divisions to return to the central area of ​​the anti-Japanese base area .After the troops of the 9th and 6th Army divisions returned, they were besieged by the Japanese army with heavy losses.The Ninth Army Sub-division troops advanced to the west of Suning, and returned to the Baiyangdian area after learning the news.

The reason, of course, is that Jizhong District found out that the devils mobilized heavy troops to besiege Taihang District, so they misjudged the strength of the devils in Jizhong District.Then, it is to mobilize the main force to leave Jizhong, leave the core regiment, and continue to lead the guerrillas and militias to carry out guerrilla operations to contain the devils' sweep.Well, the so-called core group is just a name for the small group.

In this way, the victory of the Songzhuang battle of the 7nd regiment of the 22th division took place.After the First World War in Songzhuang, the 22nd Regiment successfully mobilized a large number of devils and led them all the way, but gained a strategic buffer space for the anti-sweeping work in other places.After all, the little devil lost so many troops at once, and there were still thousands of troops running behind the 22nd regiment, and the rest of the places naturally had fewer troops.

Hu Changyi can't control these things. What he can do is to supervise the production of the arsenal and continue to transfer to the bullet production line.

Nowadays, the arsenal no longer provides ammunition to the Shanxi Northwest Military Region, and there is no need to provide weapons. This is a good progress.And there is good news: the grain harvest in Nanniwan has been bumper again this year, and some good grain production areas have also been obtained in other directions in northern Shaanxi, which is enough to meet the needs of a considerable number of soldiers and civilians.The downside is that it is difficult to send food from northern Shaanxi!
Although the 36th Division lost a lot, there are still several divisions and independent mixed brigades stationed between the southeast of Shanxi and the northwest of Shanxi.In order to forcibly block Taihang Mountain, the devils organized some ordinary people into organizations such as security teams.The people are divided into teams, and each person is given a stick as a weapon to form an army.

This point is exactly the enhanced version of the blockade policy implemented by the devils in the southeast of Shanxi the previous year. It was implemented more thoroughly, which greatly weakened the influence of the Eighth Route on the people here, and also blocked traffic and material exchanges.

The devils did a great job, even the powerful Shanxi merchants passed through the devil's blockade through normal channels, which is very telling.

"So, we still have to fight for the Jizhong Plain!" The headquarters and the deputy commander held a meeting to discuss the issue of Jizhong and made this decision.

Why is it in the middle of Hebei and not in the south of Hebei, Henan, North and Shandong?The reason is simple, Jizhong is wider, with more arable land, more fertile, and a better mass base.And another point is the climate problem. This year, there is no rain in Henan, and the summer grain harvest is only [-]% of that of previous years.After the severe drought, there will be a plague of locusts. This disaster has also affected northern Henan.

"Then let's counterattack Jizhong in an all-round way!" The deputy commander-in-chief made a decision, and the other chiefs also agreed.

"The current situation is that after nearly two months of mopping up by the little devils, the logistics supply can't keep up with the pace, and many armored vehicles and tanks have no fuel. Therefore, they withdrew the main force from Jizhong, but left A small number of troops and puppet troops continue to sweep the Jizhong Plain! But we have accumulated enough ammunition, and it is time to launch a counterattack!" said the chief of staff.

"Strictly speaking, the little devils lost a lot of troops! Just the two battles between the independent regiment and the 7st machine team caused the whole division of the little devils to be injured. There is also the breakout battle of the new fourth brigade and the new seventh brigade. , the recent Songzhuang battle in the 15000th district of Jizhong, and other large and small battles, the devils lost more than [-] troops. This loss is the number of people killed, not the number of casualties."

"In addition, the number of puppet troops. Although the number of puppet troops has increased year by year, but in this anti-sweeping battle, more than 1 puppet troops were annihilated, and even more were killed and injured. Therefore, it is time to fight back! Fighting back now, we can still get some autumn grain harvest!" The teacher helped his eyes, and then continued: "Now, Jizhong District is completely occupied by devils, this is impossible!"

"That's right, it's time to fight back! Although our main force has jumped out, we have lost a lot of troops, more than 1. The casualties of the people are even greater, and the loss of property is even more. These blood debts, The devils must pay it back!" The chief of Jizhong District finished speaking, looked down at the record book, and continued.

"According to our statistics, by the first ten days of June 1942, the Japanese and puppet troops occupied all the county towns, large market towns, and villages in central Hebei; they established more than 6 strongholds, dug more than 1700 kilometers of blockade ditches, and divided the base area in Central Hebei into 4000 square meters. More than 2600 yuan. Haha, but what the little devil didn't expect is that these blockades have become our traffic trenches to a certain extent."

"Then act! The ammunition will be delivered soon, and 40 of your favorite anti-aircraft machine guns will be delivered together. This time, they will be given to the teams in Jizhong District, and you will divide them yourself! In addition, May and June There are 5 semi-automatic rifles, 6 machine guns for squads, and 4000 machine guns for continuous use, all of which will be given to Jizhong District!" The deputy commander-in-chief said magnanimously while holding the arsenal in his hand.

This passage made everyone very happy. Semi-automatic, light machine guns, double-use machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns that are really heavy machine guns are all good things.With these weapons, even if these troops are active in the form of a cadre regiment, they will have an advantage in terms of firepower when fighting with Japanese and puppet troops of the same size.

Rumbling...creaking...on the road from various arsenals to the headquarters, there were rows of trucks, carts of oxen and donkeys, and even strong men pushing wooden carts with bare sticks.Of course, the vehicles pulled by these vehicles are the latest weapons and ammunition.The largest convoy is, of course, the convoy from the Jiuzhai Arsenal.

"Report to the chief: Guo Dezhu, the captain of the logistics support team of the Ninth Detachment, has arrived with the supplies delivered by fate!" Guo Dezhu saluted the chief of staff affectionately at the entrance of the headquarters.

"It's Xiao Guo, let the comrades unload the truck quickly, where is the list?" The chief of staff directly extended his hand.

"Hey, here it is!" Guo Dezhu handed over the list of supplies filled by Minister Zhang himself to the chief of staff.

"Bullets: 6.5 million rounds of 150mm rifle bullets, 7.92 rounds of 60mm rifle bullets, 7.63 rounds of 50mm pistol bullets, 12.7 rounds of 28mm bullets, 120 rounds of 5000 heavy mortar shells, 82 rounds of 9000mm mortar shells , 1000 grenade grenades (emergency overtime production), 40 military grenades, and 10 militia grenades. Remarks: The grenades are fully processed for military products, and there are no explosives.”

The chief of staff just smiled when he saw the content in brackets. Obviously, this grenade grenade was newly made by Jiuzhai Arsenal.And that military grenade is the favorite in the army.

Well, Jiuzhai Arsenal no longer mass-produces grenade grenades, leaving only a little production capacity to ensure the use of the Nine Detachments.Now it is not easy to process 1000 of these large shells.

"Why is there no rocket launcher?" The chief of staff asked after briefly reading the list.

"This... Our Minister Zhang said that 2000 long artillery shells are enough for Jizhong District, and we don't need such good things as rocket launchers!" Guo Dezhu said to the chief of staff what Minister Zhang said.

"Old Zhang, these hundreds of thousands of bullets have come out, and the rocket launcher will not be able to suppress it!" The chief of Jizhong District scolded with a smile.

"It's not easy for Lao Zhang! The resources here are limited, and the production of explosives has been unable to increase the output. You have to find a way to help! But with these weapons and ammunition, the little devils and traitors in Jizhong District, we I don’t want to see them jumping up to Qiushang! I demolished those strongholds!” The deputy commander also came out and said directly to the chiefs.

"Don't worry, Boss! With these..." Everyone pointed to a large pile of ammunition boxes divided into several piles, each of them was full of confidence.To tell you the truth, I knew before that the Taihang District got the moon first, and other military districts could only get a small part of the ammunition supplement.When seeing so many weapons and ammunition today, everyone really felt the prosperity of Taihang District.

Of course, what everyone feels more is the shock brought by the arsenal.Damn it, if we double the number of our arsenals and turn our output around again, how many weapons and ammunition will we have to use?Now that the troops are streamlined and the administration is streamlined, as for us, the troops in our hands all have one gun each, and there are dozens or even forty or fifty rounds of bullets.

But, who still dislikes the ammunition in the hands of their soldiers?Who wouldn't want a fighter to score a hand grenade hard still?Or a powerful military grenade?Who wouldn't want the soldiers to charge with submachine guns, the squad leaders to press the formation with semi-automatic guns, light machine guns on the side to suppress with machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns to demolish bunkers at the end?Even if there is no anti-aircraft machine gun to demolish the bunker, a long artillery shell can be used one by one!

Therefore, from this moment on, the phobia of insufficient firepower in the hearts of these chiefs has intensified, deepened, and penetrated into the bone marrow. They are all secretly swearing that whatever resources the arsenal needs, they will double it back!Neiji Okamura can't stop what we're talking about!

The chiefs are at the headquarters, sitting in rows and distributing the weapons and ammunition that have been delivered one after another.Then, it was the transport team that transported these materials across the mountains to the camps of various troops, and then the soldiers were assigned to individuals.

The soldiers had long known the news that they were going back to Jizhong District, and they were all gearing up, waiting for a big fight. Many soldiers had their bayonets sharpened quickly, and they were waiting to drink blood.

Hey, unexpectedly, a lot of weapons and ammunition have been delivered!So what else is there to say?Divide!What?Semi-automatic 800 pieces were given to our division, can our group get 100 pieces?Well, the platoon leaders of each squad are equipped with semi-automatics first, and the extra assault teams are replaced.There are bullets over there, don't take too much for one person, 200 rounds are just right.

What?There are also grenades here, and there are 8000 military ones for our regiment?Comrades... who has the strength?bring all...
