The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 247
Kong Jie's words were astonishing, the amount of information in this sentence was too great, no wonder Director Yuan was stunned on the spot.

Our Eighth Route Army?
Could it be that the person in front of him is a member of the Eighth Route Army?
Director Yuan looked at Du Aiguo, isn't this guy from the Imperial Association Army?Why did you get involved with the Eighth Route Army again?

Du Aiguo quickly explained, "Director Yuan, this is Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I forgot to tell you that I have led my troops to surrender to the Eighth Route Army."

Kong Jie originally thought that the old man would be as surprised as Platoon Leader Sun and the others when he heard that Du Aiguo and his party had joined the Eighth Route Army.

But he didn't expect the old man's face to calm down soon, instead he showed some smiles: "Okay, following the Eighth Route Army is the right way, Captain Du, you are finally on the right way."

Then Director Yuan looked at Kong Jie again: "This Eighth Route Chief..."

"You still call me Comrade Eighth Route!" Kong Jie said.

Factory Director Yuan nodded, "I've heard that your Eighth Route Army is equal, collectively called comrades, and this alone has surpassed most of the Chinese army."

"Let's answer the previous question of Comrade Eighth Route! If all the equipment in the arsenal in front of you is moved to your Eighth Route Army base area, without a steady stream of power supply, it is naturally impossible for the output of firearms to reach the current scale. It is estimated that it will be reduced to About one-fifth, there is also a premise that the power generation equipment must ensure part of the power consumption of the arsenal."

Kong Jie nodded and asked curiously, "One fifth, how much is that?"

Director Yuan said: "With enough raw materials, we can produce about [-] guns a month, and the ammunition is not counted. In fact, according to the existing equipment and technology of our arsenal, if we mainly produce ammunition, the speed will be much faster."

"How much raw material does the arsenal store?" Kong Jie asked.

"There should be two months' supply left! What I'm talking about is that according to the production scale of the current arsenal, if the production efficiency is replaced by one-fifth, these materials can be used for nearly a year." Director Yuan said.

"That's great." Kong Jie was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Yuan, I have a feeling of ruthlessness. You know, our Eighth Route Army is not afraid of sacrifice, but when we fight the devils, what we need is the weapons and ammunition at hand. If you have enough ammunition, you won’t have to fight the devils behind enemy lines so hard, so I would like to ask you to go to our base area or continue to be the factory manager, what do you think?”

Kong Jie sincerely invited, originally thought that Director Yuan would either agree or shake his head, but who knew that the old man burst into tears within a few seconds after hearing this.

After crying for a while, Director Yuan raised his head again, wiped away his tears, and replied, "Head Kong, I'm ashamed to say that I'm old and pedantic. I wanted to die when the devils forced me to do so, but I really don't want to bury my whole body." The craftsmanship of making guns and cannons, I thought that there would be a day when I would escape, but who would have thought that it would have been two or three years."

"Although I am a craftsman, I don't understand in my heart that every time I make an extra gun or bullet, it will kill our Chinese compatriots."

"So I work hard during the day, but every night, the compatriots who seem to be killed by the guns and bullets I made always appear in my mind. I often have nightmares because of this. I haven't slept for several years. Good sleep."

"I have been thinking, if one day the guns and ammunition I made can be used to equip the anti-Japanese armed forces, let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend our motherland, what a blessing it would be!"

"It can be regarded as atonement for the sins I have committed these years!"

Kong Jie said happily, "Mr. Yuan, so you agree?"

Director Yuan nodded resolutely: "As long as my old bones don't fall apart, I would like to make guns and bombs for our comrades in the Eighth Route Army!"

"Great!"

Kong Jie solemnly paid a military salute to Director Yuan: "Mr. Yuan, you understand righteousness. I thank you on behalf of my Eighth Route Army soldiers and thousands of Chinese people!"

"Captain Kong, you can't do this, it's what old people should do!" Director Yuan hurriedly said.

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, don't worry. If someone like you arrives at our base, the headquarters will be alarmed. Maybe our boss will come to greet you in person."

"Well, how about I give you a consultation?"

"Leader Kong, please speak."

"Ahem, it's like this, you know, our Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese war is more difficult, especially the arsenal, the conditions are poor, and there are even fewer talents like you. If you are invited back by me, the superiors I must snatch you away, and then you will insist on staying in my independent group, how about it?
Our Eighth Route Army has always followed the principle of voluntariness. If you are willing to stay in the independent regiment, no one will make things difficult for you. "

"And the equipment in this arsenal, I will take it back for you intact, including workers, employees, and technical personnel, as long as you are willing to go, follow. Your wages in this arsenal, I will double it for you !"

In the last few words, Kong Jie spoke so domineeringly that all the workers and staff in the factory stopped when they heard the sound.

Director Yuan: "..."

Du Aiguo: "..."

The Fourth Battalion Commander Lei Dasheng followed behind him: "..."

As expected of Captain Kong!

Factory Director Yuan smiled like a child, "Okay, Commander Kong, don't worry, when we reach the border of your Eighth Route Army, no matter who comes to speak, I just insist on one thing, the old man will stay in the independent regiment of Commander Kong. "

"Haha, that's right, Mr. Yuan, then let's talk about it."

Kong Jie laughed, and then glared at the Fourth Battalion Commander Lei Dasheng and Du Aiguo, "I said, what are you two still doing in a daze? Hurry up and take the comrades to move back all the equipment that Mr. Yuan is used to. By the way, there are also workers, employees, and technicians, let me make it clear to everyone that when they went to our Eighth Route Army, they were not only good men who resisted the Japanese, but I also doubled their monthly wages."

"In addition, I heard that the puppet army asked everyone to help the workers, and most of them would control the workers' families, Lao Du, you should be familiar with this, handle it well, take away the coerced family members, tell everyone, go to the base area, divide the land and fields , the local government will take good care of their families.

If you don't have family members, that's easy to say, and you can do it if you want. "

"Yes!" Du Aiguo and Lei Dasheng smiled and responded quickly.

After Kong Jie's order was issued, the soldiers immediately took action. As long as it could be removed from the arsenal, even the wood and iron plates used to build the factory were planed by the soldiers.

As for all kinds of equipment, such as grinders, machine tools, planers, diesel engines, steam engines, etc., let alone, they will all be taken away.

It happened that there were several cranes in the workshop, so it was not a problem to lift these equipments.

Another group of people rushed to snatch the puppet army's transport truck, just in time to pull all these equipment.

The speed of the soldiers' hands is not uncommon, especially the movements of carrying, pulling, carrying, dragging, searching, planing, and scraping.

Just kidding, not long ago when everyone was conducting a raid, the devil's railroad tracks disappeared in sections like this, let alone the small arsenal in front of us.

Soon, Director Yuan greeted and expressed his willingness to stay in the arsenal, and followed the workers, staff and even technicians who went to work in the Eighth Route Army to help pull equipment and load vehicles.

Plato Leader Sun, who was originally stationed at the gate, also led the team into the arsenal to help.

Seeing Du Aiguo, Platoon Leader Sun said, "Brother Du, even if we are fighting devils, we brothers should be together."

Du Aiguo laughed and said: "That's right, Old Sun, hello brothers, hurry up and load the car."

"Got it!"

... The operation to evacuate the puppet army's light weapons arsenal is in full swing.

And the looting of the arsenal in the hinterland of the North China Security Army has not been exposed until now.

It wasn't until a sudden gunshot sounded that the original calm of the county was completely broken.

The puppet soldiers stationed on all sides realized that the county had entered the enemy.

"Head, the situation is not good, it seems to be exposed."

Lei Dasheng, who was helping a piece of equipment, said that all the transport trucks outside the factory were already in place.

Du Aiguo said: "It seems that the gunshots came from the direction of the hospital. It seems that the Second Battalion Commander and the others are in trouble. There seem to be some wounded devils in the hospital. Maybe they made the noise."
