Chapter 118 Soldiers send Sunjiazhuang
With Zhao Hu beating his mind all day long, Director Liu finally let go and agreed that each soldier in the engineering company could use thirty bullets to shoot targets. This is extremely luxurious to place it in any unit, even if it is recharged, the ammunition is tight now. Even if the main force can have five live ammunitions per month, it will be considered a fortune.
Fortunately, the engineer company used 38-gun bullets, which could be reinstalled after firing, so it was said that it was to fire thirty bullets for them and use them continuously. Of course, these shells were deformed after being used once or twice and could only be rebuilt.
What surprised Zhao Hu was that the new recruits in the Engineering Company were free to express their expressions after hearing the gunshots, and there was no unique panic like the new recruits. When they turned around, they remembered that these people were used to the sound of explosions for many years, and there were many people playing with explosives, so they came to join the army, which was a result with half the effort.
During this period, Zhao Hu finally received a commendation from the headquarters. After all aspects, he was given a second-class merit. The engineering company also received a third-class merit in the collective merit. This is a small matter in the main force, but in the local force, it is a real existence that is admired.
After hearing the commendation order, everyone was so excited that they shouted, fearing that no one in the mountains would hear it, and there was no one who complained when they were trained.
Zhao Hu threw the training work to Director Wang and Wang Kaishan and others again, picked up a letter himself, hid in the company and read it carefully.
This was written by Director Lin Da. It was last month. She moved to the headquarters and after a long time and journey, she arrived in her hands. In the letter, Director Lin told the story that the production of Huangya Cave had greatly expanded, and Young Master Qiao was promoted to deputy section chief, while she herself became the deputy secretary of the district, and under her command, a company of militias.
In addition, she complained that she had not seen Zhao Hu for a long time. The stock leader of the side showed great care once he met her, but she refused him completely. She also left the arsenal far away on the grounds of work and stayed in the district all day long.
There are no love words in the letter, and they are all about daily work battles. Of course, their concern for Zhao Hu is self-evident. They always ask him if he is full and keeps warm when the mountain is cool. It makes Zhao Hu silent. Is this love? It seems a bit dissatisfied, and he doesn't care about his feelings now, just want to fight the Japanese.
Zhao Hu spread out his paper and pen, but he wanted to reply but had no way to start. How to write it? Isn’t it sad for the time being that my personal relationship is not considered for the time being? Isn’t that sad? Isn’t it possible to write a day when the War of Resistance Against Japan will not end and a day when I will not get married? It’s not okay. It still means rejection. Just write an ordinary reply. Don’t mention a word about the relationship. Now I am playing with the Japanese devils all day long. If I get tired of one day, wouldn’t that be sorry for the infatuation?
As soon as I wrote the letter, I was about to ask the correspondent to send it to the logistics company, a report rang out outside. When I heard that it was Yu Shiqin's voice, I hurriedly called in.
Meiren Yu was very busy for a while. Now she found that the hospital had insufficient medicine, so she came to find the company commander to find a solution and said that Dr. Zhou also invited him over, saying that she was asking for training. When Zhao Hu heard this, he sorted out his arms and took him out.
Yu Shiqin glanced at the letter on the table at the corner of her eyes and did not go out immediately. When Zhao Hu went out, she took a secret look and felt happy. He didn't confess his love to Director Lin in the letter. Didn't he say that he had hope? Well, it seems he has to hurry up.
Every day, he was busy with production. Most of the month passed without realizing it. On that day, when Zhao Hu was training a mortar with Xu Hongyuan, he suddenly found that Zhang Youfa and the Sun brothers had arrived.
"Company Commander, I want to report a big news to you this time!" After Zhang Youfa pulled Zhao Hu aside, he said anxiously: "This time I have made a fortune. Guess what I have learned about Sunjiazhuang?"
"Oh, is there anything valuable?"
"It's not just valuable, it's valuable. Company Commander, do you know the second young master of the Sun family?"
"Is it the one who is called Sun Huaishui?"
Zhang Youfa slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, it's this guy. Sun Huaimin used to study in Japan and studied chemistry. Now, when he saw that his family has the strength, he started to work hard and started a business."
"Oh, what are the industries?" Zhao Hu also became interested, but he didn't expect to accidentally hit a rabbit.
"He thought his coking plant had too little production, so he got a set of equipment to separate tar from the Japanese, and asked more than a dozen landlords and small factories around to use their tar collection devices. If anyone disagrees, hehe, he will be charged with the crime of destroying the environment and then fined the house for raiding the house!"
"What? Destroy the environment? Why doesn't he go to heaven?"
When he heard this, Zhao Hu was surprised. What is this guy’s origin? What happened to Qincheng Prison? It’s a bit dissatisfied? Otherwise, I won’t be able to see the situation clearly. Forget it, let’s talk about it when I see it.
"So, what's the use of him after he separates these tars?"
"Of course it was sold to the Japanese. Now every Japanese are nervous. This guy is familiar with a big official in the Japanese, so he collected coke and pig iron from various small factories at a low price, and then used these raw materials to exchange steel and weapons for the Japanese. I heard that there are also fertilizers to increase production for their own fields!"
Zhao Hu was silent for a while before he spoke two words: "Talent!"
I have to say that this guy is really a talented person. He used the labor he captured to gather bloody supplies for him, and used these supplies to exchange for various mechanical equipment. On the one hand, it can meet the needs of the Japanese, and on the other hand, his own power is getting bigger and bigger. As long as he flatters the Japanese line, he will become a giant that will influence one side in the end!
Zhang Youfa said from the side: "By the way, I also found out that the Sun family has built a mine repair factory, which is repairing and building ordinary machines for each small factory at a high price. I heard that there are machine tools and punches, which are all treasures. However, a class of Japanese soldiers living in the Sun family compound protects them. This battle is not easy to fight!"
"Hmph, if you don't fight, you have to fight. If you let him develop, you will be able to stare at us day and night, and it will form a pack of wolves! This time, no matter how much the loss is, we must eliminate it and we must not let him rekindle!"
No one knows better than Zhao Hu what the result of developing industry will be. The second young master of the Sun family has a good vision. He is planning to borrow the power of the Japanese to make himself bigger and stronger first. At that time, even if the Japanese want to turn against each other, they will act according to his expression. The most important thing is that if he has his own industry, he will quietly arm himself. If he wants to fight, he will not be able to take it down without dispatching a large army. However, Sunjiazhuang is close to the railway. Once it fights, it will no longer be a small battle at the battalion level.
As soon as the news was reported to Director Liu, it received great attention. Zhao Hu swore that there must be a gun-making machine in the Sun's compound. The family has made great plans. Maybe there are still many raw materials urgently needed by the arsenal. If it is not shot down, the arsenal will not be able to develop.
With Director Liu's consent, Zhao Hu increased the armed supply of the engineer company and even sent two repaired knives to the newly established firearm platoon. As for the bullets, Xiaohu seized the time to manufacture them, even if the space was exhausted, he would spare no effort!
By the end of the month, everything was ready. Director Liu personally saw him off to the engineer company and said to Zhao Hu: "This time, the main force has led the main force of the Japanese in Yangquan in the west. At that time, the main force of the fourth division will also surround Pingshan County in the north and support you, but the Shimen Japanese and puppet troops on the east road can only rely on you. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"
"Yes!" Zhao Hu replied loudly, thinking about it, and then said, "You can ask the Fourth Division to send a small army to attack Jingxing Mining Area. After all, it is a big mine and there is no need to lose money. At that time, the Japanese will definitely increase their troops to the south, so we will have a greater chance."
Director Liu smiled and said, "This, the fourth division has made arrangements. At that time, not only will the mining area not dare to move, but even the Japanese in Jingxing County will rush to the south to reinforce. Therefore, just guard against the Japanese in Shimen, but you must fight quickly and must not delay!"
After saluting Director Liu, Zhao Hu turned around and stood still, shouting: "Soldiers will be sent to Sunjiazhuang and destroy Sun Laoer!"
"Soldiers are sent to Sunjiazhuang and eliminate Sun Laoer!"
Chapter completed!
