Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 351 Only by doing it can there be hope (third update!)
Wang Ping did not expect that the experience he summed up in making and using landmines would be widely promoted throughout the Eighth Route Army in just one month.

Throughout North China, as long as there is the Eighth Route Army, there are landmines, and the Eighth Route Army's large-scale use of landmines is nearly a year earlier than in history.

In front of the ceramic landmines and stone mines, which are huge in power and large in number, and the mine detectors do not respond at all, the Japanese and puppet troops complained endlessly and suffered heavy casualties. It didn't take long for the small-scale Japanese and puppet troops in the entire North China region to dare to leave their strongholds. Go out and raid.

Of course, these are all things to say later. Back at the temporary station of the arsenal, Zhang Ding has brought more than 100 people selected from absenteeism to use explosives to dig mountains, build roads, and then build a huge underground factory building on the side of a stone mountain. !

The twelve students brought back by Professor Li Xuebin deserved to be students of mechanics. They had never touched guns before, but after seeing workers arming rifles with parts several times, they understood the principle of the [-] big cover and the official rifle. Then, together with the workers, assemble the damaged weapons on the battlefield.

The reaction of these students made Wang Ping realize that they were a group of passionate young people who had loved, and it also made Wang Ping more confident to keep them in the arsenal.

"Professor Li, the students you teach are really extraordinary. Without this damn war, they must be the pillars of the country!" Walking to Li Xuebin who was studying a heavy machine gun, Wang Ping sighed from the bottom of his heart!

"Director Wang is right. They are all pillars. If a country wants to develop and grow, it cannot do without strong industrial strength. If it wants to develop industry, it cannot do without them!" When he said the last sentence, Li Xuebin Very proud.After all, these students were all educated by him.

But this kind of pride from the heart disappeared after only a few seconds, and then said helplessly!
"It's just that the Japanese are here now, and there are wars everywhere. These students have all the skills they have, but they have no use for them!"

"No, they have their uses!" Wang Ping retorted firmly.

"War is inseparable from weapons and equipment, and weapons and equipment require talents like them to produce them. Without good weapons and equipment, our Chinese army would not be able to resist the Japanese invaders for such a long time!"

"It's easier said than done!" Li Xuebin still had a helpless expression.

"The government has many arsenals, but many arsenals are controlled by bureaucrats. Even if they are sent in, there is no use for them. Moreover, in the eyes of the government, making weapons by yourself is far inferior to buying them directly. It counts!"

"There's something going on!" Wang Ping thought to himself.

After a quick unnoticed smile flashed across his face, he looked at Li Xuebin with eager eyes, and asked, "If Professor Li doesn't dislike him, he can stay in our Eighth Route Army, but the conditions are not good enough!"

"To be honest, although I am the director of the arsenal factory in the military region, I am actually a polished commander. There are only a few dozen workers in front of me, and I can only assemble weapons and ammunition from waste parts, and then I can produce some earth mines, and other things. None, otherwise I wouldn’t be robbing the Devil’s Coal Mine of equipment!”

"However, our Eighth Route Army really wants to fight devils, and we really want to set up an arsenal to produce our own weapons and ammunition!"

"Professor Li should know that our Eighth Route Army is notoriously poor in equipment, but even so, our Eighth Route Army has wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops in the past year, and there are no less than 2 light devils among them!"

"The equipment is poor, and so many Japanese and puppet troops have been wiped out. The soldiers exchanged their lives for it. In many cases, several soldiers sacrificed to wipe out one devil. In order to change this unfavorable situation, we decided to start from scratch. Yes, set up an arsenal and produce your own weapons and ammunition!"

"You Eighth Route Army didn't say anything about beating devils. It's this. I've heard about many of your deeds of beating devils when I was caught by devils in the coal mine!" Thumbs up.

But it didn't take long for this trace of emotion to turn into helplessness!
"However, it is easier said than done to create an arsenal and produce weapons and ammunition by ourselves."

"Aside from other things, you can't get together the equipment to produce weapons and ammunition. Director Wang, I, Li Xuebin, did not attack you. Your idea is good, but it is almost impossible to do it!"

Wang Ping replied firmly: "It is impossible to do it. Only by doing it can there be hope. If you don't do it, the arsenal will never be established."

"As for the equipment, if we don't have it, we can buy it. If we can't buy it, we will make it ourselves!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping asked with some hints: "Professor Li is an expert in machinery. He should know that the principles of many mechanical equipment can be figured out. As long as we can get a few of the most primitive equipment, many metal parts are easy to use." It can be processed!"

"Take the equipment we seized from Bald Ridge as an example. It should be no problem to convert it into a stamping machine, a cutting equipment, and a drilling equipment. The only thing missing is technology, experienced engineers and technicians!"

At this time, Li Xuebin looked at Wang Ping as if he saw a monster, with disbelief and shock on his face.

It took a full minute to answer: "Director Wang, you are right. The equipment you brought back from the Guangtouling Coal Mine can indeed be disassembled to assemble three sets of the equipment you just mentioned. However, those who do not have enough experience A mechanical engineer would certainly not be able to do that."

"I'm not talented, just can do it!"

"Just based on what you said just now, there is hope only if you do it. I, Li Xuebin, decided to stay and help you assemble the three sets of equipment before leaving!"

"Thank you, Professor Li. I thank you on behalf of the Eighth Route Army!" Wang Ping was more confident in keeping Li Xuebin.

He continued to ask: "Professor Li, since you are interested in our Eighth Route Army's arsenal, why can't you stay?"

Wang Ping could see the embarrassed expression on Li Xuebin's face at a glance.

As a patriotic intellectual, he would never let go of such a good opportunity to serve the country.The reason why he disagreed must be something unspeakable.

Because Li Xuebin didn't say anything, Wang Ping didn't dare to guess, but continued to encourage.

"It must be that our Eighth Route Army is poor and cannot afford such a high salary as the government. You help our Eighth Route Army, you can't starve yourself, and let your family starve!"

Li Xuebin still didn't speak, but Wang Ping clearly saw that his brow frowned.

Wang Ping immediately understood that this Li Xuebin was worried about his family, worried that his treatment in the arsenal of the military region would not be able to support his family.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "Professor Li, if it is because of this reason, you can rest assured that our Eighth Route Army will issue a document on the treatment of intellectuals in a short time. I guarantee that if you join the arsenal, even if we are leading cadres." If you are hungry, you will not be hungry!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping didn't hesitate, and directly explained the grading system for technicians that the headquarters had agreed to, and waited for Yan'an to issue documents.

Then he did not forget to add: "Professor Li, although our Eighth Route Army is poor, it is like the current arsenal. It is poor and empty. However, we are working hard to change, and we have achieved results. Among other things, the living conditions of many of our troops are worse than The Central Army is good. For example, in the independent regiment I brought out, soldiers can eat an egg in two days and three taels of meat in three days, which is impossible in the Central Army!"
