Chapter 418 I plan to test Chu Yunfei's strength in a few days before making the next plan!
On February 1942, 2, the sixth day of the first lunar month, the weather was gloomy, with a force 20-11 gale howling. At 26: a.m., it began to snow lightly, and then the snow became heavier and heavier, gradually evolving into a blizzard. However, this did not affect the production of the Independent Regiment Military Factory. The military factories were busy, and weapons were coming off the production line one by one, and after inspection, they were sent to the warehouse.
After three days of rectification by Lu Zexuan, the production capacity of the arsenal was rapidly restored. The various arsenal branches had already stockpiled raw materials for ten days of production in advance. Even if the roads were blocked by heavy snow, there was no need to worry. Li Yunlong had already dispatched the armored troops, and after hanging up the bucket, they began to clear the snow on the road to ensure that the road was unobstructed.
"College students, the snow on the road is being cleared. Fortunately, there is no freezing rain, otherwise it would be difficult to clear the road. I have been leading the first and second armored battalions to clear the snow on the road since this afternoon, and finally ensured that the road is unobstructed. Our three-wheeled motorcycles can still run in the snow, but armored trucks can hardly run and are prone to slipping on the road."
"Luckily, college student, your weather forecast bottle is accurate, otherwise it would not be easy to distribute coal to the people's homes. The heating network in our base has been urgently repaired and officially put into use this afternoon, just in time for this snowstorm, so it can be said to be put to good use!"
Lin Zhenhua poured two bowls of hot tea from a teapot and handed one to Li Yunlong. He took a sip of the hot tea and said happily, "Old Li, this heavy snowfall is very good. It would be best if it lasted for a few days and nights to store more snow water so that we can have a good harvest this summer. I previously urgently modified eight small excavators and have put them into the project of digging the river. Even in a blizzard, we are still digging the river. When the time comes, we can push the snow on the road into the river, which can be used to irrigate the fields."
"The Arsenal has set up a special farm implement factory, which is producing agricultural machinery such as water pumps. We will then be able to use the water from rivers and reservoirs for irrigation to cope with the drought we may encounter this year. As for disasters such as locust plagues, we can prevent them in advance by using various methods such as chickens and ducks."
While the two were talking, Zhao Gang hurried in from outside and said excitedly: "Lao Li, college students, we have found a lot of suspicious elements in the past two days. After interrogation, we have captured more than 30 traitors and six Japanese spies. The snow was very good this time. The Japanese wanted to use the university as a cover to carry out sabotage, but we were well prepared and captured them in advance. The anti-espionage operation has achieved significant results. We found more than 100 Type 800 rifles, more than bullets, more than grenades, six grenade launchers, and a mortar. The harvest is quite rich!"
"According to our interrogation, the devils have hidden three secret camps in our base area. We have already seized two of them. As long as we seize the last one, we can rest assured! These days, I have been fighting wits and courage with the devils every day, which makes me feel very tired. Fortunately, with the help of Lao Kong and Lao Ding, I have finally achieved considerable results, which also allows me to give an explanation to everyone."
"College student, I see a lot of vehicles driving on the road, carrying a lot of raw materials. Is our arsenal not affected by the heavy snow?"
Lin Zhenhua replied with a smile: "Old Zhao, the situation of the arsenal is very good. The production capacity has been restored to 50% of the original level. It is expected to be fully restored in another ten days. After we get hundreds of machine tools from Chen Minggeng, the production capacity of our arsenal will increase significantly and will be more than twice the current output."
"We are also in the process of renovating our semi-automatic machine tools, and have achieved some initial results. The production efficiency has been greatly improved, saving a lot of man-hours. In addition, various special machine tools have been manufactured, which has greatly simplified the man-hours. I have highlighted the quality issues that were the most worrying before, and have formulated a strict inspection system so that the person responsible can be directly found if there is a problem."
"From the situation in the past two days, the scrap rate has decreased, but it is not yet to a level that I am satisfied with. I estimate that it will take a month before we can really see immediate results. What worries me most now is the plague. Hundreds of cases of colds and fevers have been reported in the past few days, of which more than 30 have been confirmed to be plague. After taking medicine in time, they have basically been cured."
"But we must not take it lightly. I have arranged for Dr. Wang Xuecheng to be in charge of this matter. I will go to Huangyadong in a while to preside over the expansion of penicillin production."
Lin Zhenhua picked up the tea bowl on the table, moistened his dry throat, and when he felt the water was no longer hot, he immediately gulped it down. He greeted the two people, opened the door directly, tightened his cotton coat, got on the three-wheeled motorcycle, and under the protection of Duan Peng, rushed to Huangya Cave.
After Lin Zhenhua left, Zhao Gang drank the tea in the tea bowl on the table, and then said with a melancholy tone: "Old Li, our troops are about to expand to 30,000, but the training of the troops is a bit behind. Many recruits have only learned to shoot, and the bullets they shoot are not accurate at all. Old Xing has already trained the recruits in the air-raid shelter, but it is very difficult to train the soldiers in a short time."
"We have used the trick that the college students taught us many times, but the effect is not obvious. Lao Kong and Lao Ding asked me to come to you. From now on, the three of you will also take over the training matters. Lao Xing alone cannot handle it. In the next period of time, we will basically not take the initiative to attack. It is better to train according to the original plan."
"Old Li, you have to calm down. I've seen you get as anxious as a cat's paw these past few days. You must be up to something. No matter how many excuses you have, Li Yunlong, you must behave yourself for the next month and a half. Once we have sufficient supplies, I, Zhao Gang, will let you mess around. But not now!"
Li Yunlong replied with a wronged look on his face: "Old Zhao, don't you know what kind of person I, Li Yunlong, am? I always keep my word. I have said before that I will not go out to fight in the short term. Unless I have no choice, I will never take the initiative to fight the devils."
"I know the current situation of the base better than you do. The last time we attacked Ping'an County, we didn't train the soldiers well. We have been busy with counter-espionage these days and haven't put much thought into training. It's not that I don't care, but I just can't spare the time."
"This is the large-scale training plan I just made. Take a good look at it. To complete this plan, the soldiers' food allowances must be doubled. I am not discussing this with you, Zhao Gang. Whether you agree or not, you must do it. I must train a group of elite soldiers before the Japanese attack. Otherwise, even with powerful weapons and equipment, it will be difficult to compete with the elite Japanese."
"According to my analysis these days, the Japanese should send out a main division and a colonial division, with a total of about 8 people. There will definitely be some puppet troops as well. If all are counted, the total number should be around 9 to ."
"The ratio of troops between the two sides is 1 to 3. We must complete the expansion of troops in a short period of time and build a defense system in the base. Checkpoints must be set up at the entrances and exits of each village, and militia and garrisons must be stationed there. We have a large number of three-wheeled motorcycles. If we load them with machine guns, they can be used as mobile armored vehicles. Although they may be fragile, it is better to have them than not. I plan to equip each checkpoint with a three-wheeled vehicle and connect the telephone to all places in the base."
Li Yunlong spoke of his plan with excitement. In order to strengthen his control over the base, he planned to rebuild the base's communication network. Previously, only some important strongholds were connected, but now all the strongholds must be connected. This way, as long as one point is attacked, he can get the news immediately while being in the command center, and can send reinforcements in the shortest time possible.
"Old Li, your plan is very good. I agree with it very much. No matter how much it costs, we must complete the construction of the base's communication network. In addition, we must set up 16 air defense lookouts and equip them with radio stations. Once we spot the enemy's fighter planes, we will immediately report to the regiment headquarters."
"I told the college student yesterday that he must produce six communication command radio vehicles within a month to ensure smooth communication in our base. Since we can independently produce radios, the exchange of intelligence has been very timely. We have received a lot of information from Chu Yunfei. This is what Chu Yunfei just sent. Lao Li, you can take a good look at it!"
Li Yunlong took the telegram from Zhao Gang, the smile on his face faded, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Old Zhao, Chu Yunfei has no intention of fighting the Japanese head-on. He is just trying to save face. I guess Chu Yunfei is already planning a retreat, otherwise he wouldn't be recruiting soldiers during the Spring Festival. It seems that Chu Yunfei is also planning something big."
"The current 358th Regiment has 4000 personnel, equivalent to the strength of two ordinary regiments. But even so, Chu Yunfei has not stopped expanding. I estimate that the 358th Regiment should expand its number to a brigade of about 6000 people. This is indeed a good thing for us. The only thing to worry about is that Chu Yunfei will have other ideas!"
"Fortunately, the relationship between us and Chu Yunfei is pretty good, and there is no conflict of interest in the short term. The two sides will not fall out. I plan to find Chu Yunfei in a few days to find out his true strength!"
