PFC Chapter 197 Black Cloud Village
Chapter 197 Black Cloud Village
After returning to Ningxia from Jiuquan, Zhao Tianyang began to focus on the construction of steel mills and mines.
Every day, he took Li Yuncai to Baotou, Ningxia, Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang.
"Minister, Director Shen wants you to go to the machine tool factory."
On this day, Zhao Tianyang, who was about to inspect a newly developed mine, was stopped by Li Yuncai.
"Shen Hong?"
Zhao Tianyang asked: "What day is it today?"
"No. 23!"
Li Yuncai replied.
"Two weeks."
Zhao Tianyang waved his hand: "Arrange the glider, and let's go to the machine tool factory to take a look."
"Yes."
Soon, after a two-hour flight, Zhao Tianyang arrived in Yan'an, Baota District, Yaodian Town from Ningxia.
"Well, I didn't brag, did I?"
In the warehouse of the machine tool factory, Shen Hong pointed at the two lathes in front of him and said proudly.
"awesome."
Zhao Tianyang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then please ask Director Shen to introduce the performance of these two lathes to me!"
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Shen Hong pointed to the first lathe in front of him and said: "For ordinary lathes, the processing accuracy can reach IT8-IT7 level, and the surface roughness Ra value can reach 1.6-0.8 microns."
"It can process the inner and outer convolution surfaces, end faces, etc."
Then he pointed to another lathe and introduced it: "Radial drilling machine, the processing accuracy can reach about IT10-IT12."
“The surface roughness Ra value is between 6.3 and 12.5 microns.”
"It can be used for various processing such as drilling, boring, boring, tapping and scraping end faces."
"It can be said that with it, it has become much easier for us to produce gun barrels."
"Well done."
Zhao Tianyang couldn't help but wave his fist: "Step up the production of various lathes. I want to set up more than 30 arsenals of various types this year."
"More than thirty!"
Shen Hong was surprised and asked, "Can it be done?"
"Whether it works or not depends on you!"
Zhao Tianyang patted Shen Hong on the shoulder and decided to ask the leader to set up a technical school when he returned.
Otherwise, it would be a problem if the arsenal was built but there was no one to operate the machines.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianyang bid farewell to Shen Hong and took Li Yuncai to Yan'an, ready to talk to the leader about the technical school.
At the same time, just as Zhao Tianyang was preparing for a big fight, the Japanese troops far away in Shanxi also began to become restless.
"Baga, the headquarters has rejected my transfer application again."
In Taiyuan City, Commander Shinozuka threw a telegram on the table and cursed angrily.
"Commander, it seems that the headquarters will not let you leave Shanxi."
Kusunokichi said worriedly: "It has been two months since the last transaction with the Eighth Route Army."
"They should have started using those production lines to produce rifles and bullets by now!"
"asshole."
Speaking of this, Commander Shinozuka had even more headaches. He had originally thought of running away before the Eighth Route Army developed.
As a result, the headquarters refused to let him go, saying there was no suitable successor.
Now, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is growing day by day.
The strength of the Japanese army in Shanxi not only did not grow stronger, but it also suffered heavy losses due to the annihilation of the 20th Division, and has not yet recovered.
"Commander, this won't be a good thing!"
Kusunokichi thought for a moment and suggested, "Since we can't leave, we must make plans early."
"Otherwise, when the Eighth Route Army launches its attack, it will be too late."
"Have you planned ahead?"
Commander Shinozuka asked doubtfully, "What should we do?"
"Of course, we have to prepare for both scenarios. The first step is to strengthen our strength."
"This way, no matter how the situation changes, we can make choices calmly with the soldiers at hand."
"The second step is to strengthen ties with the Kuomintang and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Although our last cooperation with them ended in failure, we have to admit that they really worked hard when fighting the Eighth Route Army."
After listening to Kusunoshi Hideyoshi's two suggestions, Commander Shinozuka nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"But right now, the Empire's troops are all heading south, and there is no spare force to be transferred to Shanxi."
"It's not simple yet."
Kusunokichi said confidently: "We just need to raise the strength of the Eighth Route Army again, and the headquarters will naturally consider increasing the number of troops."
"After all, they are an army that can completely wipe out the 20th Division. I don't believe that the headquarters is really not in a hurry."
"Ah."
Commander Shinozuka nodded: "In order to ensure the stability of Shanxi, the Empire is indeed likely to increase its troops."
"But now, our occupied area in China is getting larger and larger, and the Empire won't give us much manpower at all!"
"So we need to think of other ways!"
Kusunoshi Hideyoshi said.
Commander Shinozuka: "Any other options?"
"Yes."
Kusunoshi Hideyoshi looked at Commander Shinozuka and said seriously, "Commander, I suggest that we continue to strengthen the strength of the Imperial Army."
"No."
Commander Shinozuka refused without hesitation: "The Imperial Army has low morals, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and too many of them are not conducive to our control."
"I didn't say to continue to increase the number of troops!"
Kusunokichi smiled mysteriously: "What I mean is to strengthen our strength."
"The Imperial Army's combat effectiveness is low because most of our soldiers are local hooligans."
"They are good at doing evil and bullying the people, but when it comes to fighting, their legs become weak and they have no fighting power at all."
"So I suggest that we re-select the source of soldiers."
"There are so many bandits in Shanxi now who are kings of the mountains. They are strong in combat and cruel in character. They don't understand what is righteousness for the country and the people."
"If we can recruit them all, our combat effectiveness will definitely be raised to a higher level."
"So Kar!"
Commander Shinozuka smiled with satisfaction: "Hideyoshi-kun, your plan is very good. I agree with it."
"Recruit bandits, contact the Kuomintang, and deal with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army as soon as possible!"
Following the order from Commander Shinozuka, Japanese troops in various parts of Shanxi began to find ways to recruit bandits in their respective garrisons.
At the same time, secret contacts with the Kuomintang and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also began.
Northwest Shanxi, Ping'an County.
The commander of the Japanese Independent Garrison Brigade, Fujizo Jinda, looked at the commander of the 213th Regiment of the Imperial Army, Huang Ergou, who was called in front of him and asked.
"Huang Sang, do you know how many bandits there are near Ping An?"
"Replying to the Madam, there are probably more than ten gangs of bandits, big and small, in Ping'an. They are all bad guys who occupy the mountains and do all kinds of evil."
Although he didn't know what Teng San Jin Tian meant, Huang Ergou, who was used to being a dog, still answered honestly.
"Yoshi."
Fujisan Jintian was very satisfied with Huang Ergou's attitude: "You go and contact them and tell them that the Imperial Army wants to recruit them and let them become the noble Imperial Army."
"What?"
Huang Ergou was dumbfounded: "Taijun, those are bandits! They are capable of all kinds of evil!"
"I want to do all kinds of evil."
Teng Sanjintian waved his hand and said, "Go quickly. I heard that there is a group of bandits called Black Cloud Village near Dagu Town. They are very fierce."
"They often go against our imperial army, so let's start with them this time!"
"what!"
Huang Ergou was a little reluctant. He had heard of the name of Heiyun Village.
They are powerful in combat and brutal in their methods. Once they attack, they will not leave anyone alive.
He became a traitor just to make a living, and he didn't want to have anything to do with such bandits.
"Ok?"
Huang Ergou's thoughts collapsed immediately with Teng Sanjintian's "hmm", and he quickly patted his chest and made a promise.
"Leave the Imperial Army matter to me. I'll contact Black Cloud Village right away."
"Ok!"
Teng Sanjintian nodded with satisfaction.
