Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

At the end of April 1942, the Huangyadong Arsenal.

Three [-]-caliber bullets were placed one after another on a table in the production workshop, and the heads of the headquarters and division headquarters stood around the table.

"Chief, let's take a look at the difference between these three bullets?" said Director Liu of the Huangyadong Arsenal.

Several chiefs gathered together couldn't hide the excitement on their faces. The boss pointed to the bullet on the far left and said, "This is obviously a reloaded bullet produced by ourselves!"

"These two?" The boss said, holding the remaining bullets in his hand, weighing them, and then carefully rubbing the shells of the two bullets.

"Are these two original bullets produced by the arsenal? It's hard to tell just from the appearance!" The boss said suspiciously.

"Haha, Boss, one is the bullet used by the national army, and the other is our own production. These two bullets not only look the same, but after experiments, they have almost the same power and range!" Director Liu said with a smile.

"Great, our Eighth Route Army can finally mass-produce original bullets. This is a great progress!" The boss patted Director Liu on the shoulder excitedly.

After several military experts from the Jinchaji Arsenal arrived in March, the two largest armories of the Eighth Route Army concentrated their efforts and finally successfully overcome the technical problem of producing original bullets.

"How's the output?"

"According to the current situation, the monthly output can reach about [-] to [-] rounds, with people resting and machines not resting. However, although there are no technical obstacles at present, raw materials are also a problem. The existing raw materials are only enough for half a year's production. !” Director Liu truthfully reported.

"Yeah!" The boss nodded after hearing this, and then looked at the deputy chief of staff and the others: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just concentrate on doing a good job in production, go get busy!"

"Yes!" Factory Manager Liu replied.

After Director Liu left, the boss looked at the deputy chief of staff and the others and said, "We have to find a way to deal with the raw materials!"

"Well, after the Japanese army knew that we had a bullet production line in our hands, the current blockade of brass entering and exiting the base area is particularly serious. Laiyuan County, where the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area belongs to, is the origin of copper mines, but the road is too far away. It is too difficult to transport the Japanese army to the base area!"

"Yuncheng is also the place where copper mines are produced. I have been sending people to pay attention to the information in this area before. After the national army gained a foothold in the counties around Yuncheng, they have been mining copper mines and transporting them to Luoyang. In my opinion, it is better to find a way from this aspect. !” suggested the deputy chief of staff.

"Okay, let's do it like this, Chief of Staff, I have to leave it to you to deal with the first theater!" The boss finally said.

In order for the copper mines around Yuncheng to flow into the base area, some means are needed. The Japanese army blocked the raw materials to curb the development of the Eighth Route Army, and the national army also did not want the Eighth Route Army to use this to strengthen its strength.

The words are divided into two parts.

It has been more than half a month since the regiments of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region developed independently.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army became famous in the first battle in the local area, and all the people in the counties raised their hands to welcome them, and some local big families even called for their hands to work in the army.

As the troops expanded outwards, the comrades of the prefectural government quickly followed up. Originally, there was a mass base in the local area. On this basis, county committees were established one after another.

On the whole, the Hebei-Luyu Military Region has gained a firm foothold in the Zhinan area, but compared with the iron barrels in the Tainan base area, the Hebei-Luyu base area is not as interesting.

In the military headquarters.

Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin are studying a reward telegram forwarded by the headquarters.

It can be said that this commendation telegram was long overdue, it was almost a month after the war ended before reaching Zhou Weihan's hands.

"Hey, the national government is too picky, and it's not realistic to compete for these vain things!" Tan Lin complained while looking at the telegram in front of him.

"Hey, just get used to it. You still point to the national government to allocate tens of thousands of dollars to us, even if you give it in French currency. This telegram makes me panic!" Zhou Weihan said jokingly.

"However, don't tell me, the news of Gao Shuxun was delivered very quickly!" Tan Lin said.

Since Tan Lin arrived in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, he has attached great importance to the united front work of the New Eighth Army. The propaganda campaign against the New Eighth Army has not stopped, and at the same time, he has quietly recruited many personnel within the New Eighth Army.

On the second day after the war ended, Gao Shuxun, as the representative of the national army in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, immediately reported the situation before and after.

As a result, a combat staff officer of the New Eighth Army reported the matter to the upper line on the same day, and Tan Lin knew the news on the same day.

"Let's get down to business. Right now the base area is expanding rapidly, but the construction of grassroots regime must also be put on the agenda. Otherwise, no matter how big the base area is, it will be a tree without roots!"

"So." Tan Lin hesitated to speak when he said this.

"So what?" Zhou Weihan asked knowingly.

"So there is a shortage of people. The original comrades from Hebei, Shandong and Henan, as well as the comrades from my work team from northern Shaanxi, count as one. I have arranged them all, but there are still not enough cadres for the prefectural government!"

"I plan to ask for people from the headquarters and the Northern Bureau, but this alone is not enough!" Tan Lin finished speaking and glanced at Zhou Weihan: "I heard that Tainan has a lot of experience in personnel training!"

"Take a look and see if a group of people from the Tainan Cadre School are also transferred to support it?"

After hearing this, Zhou Weihan intentionally pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "That's it, this matter, I have to think about it!"

"Think about it, don't think I don't know, you are always good at talking in Tainan!"

The first batch of students from the Tainan Cadre School graduated on December 12, and the second batch of students was recruited soon, and it has been almost four months now.

Zhou Weihan reckoned that there should be some enthusiasm for the training of students.

"The school's civil affairs students are supposed to learn in practice, and there is no problem with graduating early, but I have to discuss this matter with Comrade Wang Ying from the Tainan District Government. These students are specially trained by the Tainan District Government. , but there should be no problem?" Zhou Weihan finally said.

"Great, then it's settled, it can be regarded as solving a big problem for me!" Tan Lin clapped excitedly.

"Don't get too excited. These student cadres will be responsible for the land reform work in various places after they come. You have to let experienced comrades check it out, and don't make trouble then!"

"Also, after the situation in the Zhinan region stabilizes, the next step for the army is to expand to the southwestern part of Shandong Province. At that time, more cadres will be needed, so we have to train cadres ourselves!" Zhou Weihan reminded Tan Lin.

"It's natural!"

Regarding the development plan of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, Zhou Weihan had already planned in his heart, but right now he still needs to clench his fists tightly before he can punch out.
