Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 203 The Brigadier's Experience

"The Japanese army's so-called law and order war is fierce. Li Yunlong's Independent First Regiment, Ding Wei's New First Regiment, and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment have already exchanged fire with the devils several times!

For this reason, the so-called base areas of these three regiments have moved all the people inland, and brought them into the location of Chen Shanhe's independent second regiment. "

As the chief of staff of the 358 regiment, Fang Ligong saw through Qian Bojun's fake Chu Yunfei's military order in the last battalion rebellion, but it was already too late and he was shot.

At this time, he had recovered from his injuries and continued to serve as the chief of staff of the [-]th Regiment.

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment, although it is only a regiment in name, its strength has already surpassed my 358th Regiment by a lot.

If, plus the militias in the so-called base areas, the soldiers capable of fighting are at least 3 to 4 times that of ours.

According to what we saw in the first battalion last time, the so-called militiamen are as elite as the soldiers of our 358 regiment, and even surpass them. "

"En!" Fang Ligong nodded: "Chen Shanhe is a formidable opponent, fortunately his enemy is devils and not us."

His words made Chu Yunfei ponder: "Maybe!"

"However, what I am more concerned about is that at present, besides the Independent [-]st Regiment, New [-]st Regiment and New [-]nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, there are other bases of the Eighth Route Army troops who are continuously moving people to the base of the Second Independent Regiment in Chen Shanhe.

If the devils cannot break through the defense lines of the Independent First Regiment, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and our 358th Regiment, they will not be able to threaten the so-called base of Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment.

It is undeniable that it is safe to move the people in.

But I was thinking, Chen Shanhe, what did he do to support so many people? "

Fang Ligong couldn't answer Chu Yunfei's question, because he was not Chen Shanhe.

The Brigadier had no such doubts.

Because in the second season of last year, the base areas such as Shanxi, Shanxi, Ninggan and other bases had a bumper harvest of corn, and the corn seeds handed in by Chen Shanhe achieved a high yield that farmers in this era could not imagine.

Therefore, the bases of Chen Shanhe, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie did not lack food at all.

Moreover, the grain had just been harvested a year ago, and the people in the base area did not have to pay more than 8% of the taxes and land rent to the devils and landlords. They still had grain for the winter, and it was just spring.

Now in my hometown, except for the wheat that has just passed winter, there is nothing that cannot be given up in front of the fierce and brutal devils.

So with the help of the Eighth Route Army, many small bases who consciously couldn't resist the fierce offensive of the devils brought their families and their families to migrate to Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment.

This is also a tactic.

In history, the Eighth Route Army once carried out siege tactics against the devils in Qinyuan.

It is to remove all the people from 23 villages in several surrounding towns, more than 16000 people, leaving a blank land for the devils, and after the walls are cleared, the devils stationed in Qinyuan will be besieged.

No matter the convoy for the Qinyuan devils had to endure countless ambushes and attacks before the supplies could be delivered, sometimes they couldn't.

Or the devils stationed in Qinyuan will be attacked as long as they want to take a step out of the station, whether it is mines, cold guns, or cold guns.

According to the real historical records, during the two and a half years of the siege, the Qinyuan devils suffered more than 2500 attacks in a white field, wounded and killed more than 4400 devils and puppet troops, and there were more than 220 captive devils alone. indivual.

However, this tactic was historically used by the Taiyue Military Division more than a year later.

But now, there is already this trend.

In fact, this is no way.

The devils' attack was too fierce. Under the menacing attack of the devils, many base areas that were originally well developed have now become guerrilla zones.

The consequence of becoming a guerrilla zone is that the people may take some risks.

There is a risk of being burned, robbed, and killed by devils.

So, after going through this situation a few times, plus Chen Shanhe really needs someone now.

So, they began to move people over.

In fact, the brigade commander is also a little worried. He is worried that too many people will not be able to resettle, and Chen Shanhe's base will easily collapse.

"Brigade Commander, I built another hydropower station and added a smelting furnace by the way, which is bigger this time, and can smelt 400 kilograms of molten iron at a time.

Moreover, I set up a coking plant, which can arrange many people.

There are 9 coal mines in Wuxiang County, and many miners are also needed.

In Hanbei Town next to Panlong Town, there is an iron mine with good quality!

If we can develop this iron ore, our arsenal will not have to worry about running out of raw materials.

There is a copper mine in Qinxian County, which is in Kong Jie's Xinertuan territory.

It also takes people! "

Chen Shanhe has really spread out all industries, including iron mines, coal mines, copper mines, Wuxiang County, Licheng County, and Qin County.

And these ranges are all under the hands of Chen Shanhe, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei.

A cement plant, a coal plant, a coking plant, a thermal power plant, two hydropower plants, a metal smelter, and most importantly, an arsenal.

The brigade commander was shocked and paralyzed when he came to inspect the factories one by one.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shanhe developed a very complete industrial system in the base areas in the rear where the fighting was raging like a raging fire. Although it was a little small, it was really an industrial system.

Each of these factories is built on the hillside, with enough camouflage. Except for the thermal power plant, there is no way to hide it. If there is no one to guide the plane in the sky, there is no way to detect the location of these factories.

Because in order to prevent aerial reconnaissance, these factories go to and from get off work before dawn in the morning or just after dark at night.

And it is impossible for an aircraft in this time period to stay in the air without light.

"This thermal power plant, aren't you afraid of being detected by the devil's plane?"

The brigade commander pointed to the tall chimney of the thermal power plant and asked Chen Shanhe.

Chen Shanhe replied with a smile: "So, I use hydropower during the day, and thermal power at night."

The last stop is to inspect the arsenal.

The brigade commander looked at the molten iron, poured it out of the smelting furnace, and after it was formed, it entered the steel rolling machine, where it was rolled into the desired density and shape.

Then it is divided into long bars by the machine, and these iron bars are transported to the next station.

Then the next station uses a lathe to cut out sticks of appropriate size according to the needs.

These appropriately sized rods are then transported to the next station for drilling.

In the end, the most difficult part of the gun was successful.

barrel.

Then he saw the parts of the gun being stamped out one by one, and then quickly assembled into a submachine gun under one process after another.

"What kind of submachine gun is this?"

The brigade commander found that he couldn't recognize what type of submachine gun this was.

Chen Shanhe picked up two different submachine guns from the finished products of the two production lines.

He took the ammunition of two drums and two magazines, and came to the shooting range with the brigade commander.

"Brigadier, try it!"

Chen Shanhe picked up a submachine gun with a wooden stock, installed a drum magazine, and handed it to the brigade commander.

"This is the Bobosha 41 submachine gun, which came out in the Soviet Union in 1940, but it has not been equipped with troops so far, but it should start to be equipped this year.

It has the advantages of fast rate of fire and fierce firepower!
For the Eighth Route Army, who are not charging or are on the way to charge, and are used to fighting the devils with bayonets after two shots, the advantages of this submachine gun are really in line with our charging characteristics.

And the biggest advantage is that there are only 87 parts in the whole gun, which is very easy to produce.

Moreover, the simple configuration makes it less likely to malfunction in battle, and the safety in combat is quite high.

Brigadier, try it! "

The brigade commander was startled: "This family hasn't equipped troops yet, and the gun that just came out, you got the blueprint and produced it?
You guys can do it! "

The wooden butt of the Bobosha submachine gun was well placed on the brigade commander's shoulder socket, and then he pulled the trigger towards the target 50 meters away.

71 rounds of drums, all poured on the target.

The recoil is not strong, and the trajectory is very stable, but the accuracy is far worse than that of a rifle.

"The 50-meter targets have been spread like this, but they all hit the targets anyway.

But if it is 100 meters away, the accuracy may be too bad. It is estimated that at least half of the 10 bullets will miss the target.

However, the submachine gun has the positioning of a submachine gun. Since it is a submachine gun, the accuracy should not be too high.

So this shortcoming can be ignored, and its strong firepower is its advantage! "

The brigade commander was very knowledgeable, and then said the shortcomings of this gun:

"The carrying capacity of this drum is 71 rounds. It seems to be relatively heavy. Most of our soldiers are not full enough to eat and are not strong enough. It may be a bit of a hindrance to charge with such a gun.

But if you are fighting devils in the trenches, such a gun can be used as a broom. "

After speaking, he put down the gun and looked at another submachine gun that looked more crude.

Chen Shanhe quickly handed it over to him, and then introduced: "This is called the Bobos 43 submachine gun, which is similar to the Bobosha, but it has fewer parts than the 83 of the Bobosha.

Fewer parts are easier to produce, mass-produced, and as you saw just now, this is a very simple submachine gun with all the stampings combined.

In view of the fact that Bobosha’s 71-round drum drum is too heavy, the magazine of this Bobos 43 is a 35-round double-row magazine, which is very convenient and light.

The most important thing is that the firepower is not weak. Compared with Bobosha, this gun is easier to produce!
And cheaper. "

Another round of ammunition poured out. After the shooting, the brigade commander was satisfied and reluctantly put down the submachine gun.

"It is indeed much lighter, and it is more handy to control the gun.

However, the firepower is so fierce, it means that the bullet consumes a lot!

Our foundation is too thin to afford it! "

Chen Shanhe quickly smiled and said: "Brigade Commander, our foundation is not weak!
At least our brigade foundation is not weak!

Our independent second regiment, Li Yunlong's independent first regiment, and Xinyi regiment's new second regiment, the four regiments have iron mines, copper mines, lead mines and coal mines on their sites.

I have a metal smelter here, a machine for rolling steel, and a production line for bullets.

Now there is no shortage of raw materials, no shortage of production lines, what is lacking now is skilled workers.

and enough skilled workers.

This is why we dared to take over the unsustainable base areas nearby and move the people here. "

The brigade commander nodded: "Now more than 2 people have moved here, do you still want it?

Can you afford to support so many ordinary people? "

Chen Shanhe nodded: "Don't worry, Brigadier!
When I harvested corn last year, I bought a batch from the common people and stored them.

And consciously bought several batches of grain in nearby counties for storage.

With food in hand, don't panic! "

The brigade commander suddenly came to his senses, boy Chen Shanhe had already guessed this situation, right?

Otherwise, why would you have been prepared long ago!
The current environment is that in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, many of the bases of the Eighth Route Army have become guerrilla zones.

The living space of the Eighth Route Army was compressed to the extreme in Neiji Okamura's one-by-one security tactics.

and so.

The base areas where Chen Shanhe and his four regiments are located are immovable, which is a rare feature in the Eighth Route Army.

There is also this series of factories built on the mountain, all of which are within the guesswork of Chen Shanhe and the people behind him.

Regarding the fact that someone behind Chen Shanhe supported this matter, it was already tacit at the headquarters.

Otherwise, how could Chen Shanhe produce the machines that factories need one after another.

How could it be possible to get the drawings and production tools of these two submachine guns.

No matter who is behind Chen Shanhe, they have really come up with an industrial system.

And it's a heavy industrial system.

Now the three major arsenals in the country were Taiyuan Arsenal, Hanyang Arsenal and Jinling Arsenal, and now all three arsenals have shut down.

Are there any other small arsenals?
Maybe, after all, it is not difficult to produce a gun, but the difficulty is to mass-produce the gun.

This requires ensuring raw materials, metal drill engineering, steel processing, and lathe finishing, as well as a series of processes for gun parts processing.

There are very few in the country capable of doing this.

But there is such a complete system and an arsenal that can produce guns in the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army.

And don't look at it as a small arsenal, but the production speed is not slow, which is a bit unbelievable.

Especially the Bobos submachine gun, all the parts are stamped out.

Then he watched with his own eyes, the workers on the production line assembled, and the assembly was not slow.

The brigade commander thought that these two submachine guns were really artifacts of the trenches. If there was an offensive and defensive battle with the devils, if these two guns were equipped to a certain scale, they could influence the development of the battle situation.

However, even Chen Shanhe said that Wuxiang County and Licheng County, that is, the territory they occupy, have iron ore, copper ore and lead ore, and there is no shortage of raw materials for production.

But there are so many people in the Eighth Route Army, if they are really equipped with guns, the arsenal created by such a small industrial system as Chen Shanhe will not be able to supply so much ammunition consumption.

But now he can't think so much anymore, he is delighted to see Lie Xin: "Now how many of these two submachine guns are in stock?"

Chen Shanhe had long expected that the brigade commander would ask this question.

So he sold it out and didn't answer right away, but took the brigade commander to the warehouse.

Open the warehouse, and wait to see the surprised look on the Brigadier's face.

"We only have two production lines now, with a daily output of 30 submachine guns for each of the two types, and the warehouse is our 30-day production.

Also, there are about 50 rounds of pistol ammunition used in submachine guns in stock.

The most important thing is that the current workers are too unfamiliar and there are very few skilled workers in various mines.

Our production limit so far depends on the proficiency of workers. "

The brigade commander looked at the pile of guns and ammunition that filled the entire room. Is this 30 days of production?
The voice of speaking was full of excitement: "Put it all on me!

With 1800 submachine guns, I dare to charge against the devil's division! "

Unexpectedly, the brigade commander didn't hear Chen Shanhe's promise, but a cheap answer.

"Brigade Commander, the guns and bullets can be taken away, but they must be exchanged for food!
If there is no food, anything else is fine, as long as it is useful, we will not pick!
But food is the best. After all, there are so many workers, and their food problem must be solved!

You can't let the workers work for nothing, you have to pay them wages or something!

Therefore, guns can be taken, but not in vain! "
