For a period of time, nothing major happened, and everyone spent March peacefully. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Lei was worried that the biochemical modification organization did not appear again after that, just like a flash in the pan, after attacking Wang Lei, they disappeared without a trace, Wang Lei then arranged a large number of military detectors in Niujiazhuang and near his home, but nothing was found, as if the dead had nothing to do with them.

And Zhang Hongying is still running on both sides of the hospital as always. As for Ouyang Yue, she was in charge of the study of a few little ones in the morning, continued her research in the afternoon, and studied with Bai Xue in the evening.

A few little guys in the family, after Li San lived in Wang Lei's house, he replaced Zhang Hongying and began to teach them martial arts. However, Li San has a complete teacher, and after taking over Zhang Hongying's work, he handed over his internal strength to a few little guys. He told Wang Lei that this exercise was created by his master's master in his later years, and his master did not set any rules for inheritance, and the most important thing is that he has no heirs now, and he completely regards a few little guys as heirs. Li San called his exercise "Nameless", because his master didn't say what this exercise was called since he taught him, but only told him that it was a Buddhist exercise, and as for what the name of the exercise was, his master didn't tell him until he was dying, nor did he ask him to become a monk and shave his degree, and his big bald head was shaved by himself after he came down the mountain.

Originally, Wang Lei wanted to learn his exercises from Li San, but he had only been studying for 3 days before bad news came. It turns out that he is the only ...... in the legends of the ancient martial arts world, uh, waste wood, yes, waste wood! This thing is actually a scrap material for learning martial arts. In 3 days, all the little guys in the family, including Xiaohua's brother Xiao Ning, all had a slight sense of qi, and Wang Lei sat quietly for 3 days and didn't feel it at all, in Zhang Hongying's words, Wang Lei was already a level 4 cripple in the ancient martial arts world.

And Li San learned martial arts to no avail, Wang Lei had to play Tai Chi every day, and then walked around between the steel mill and the thermal power plant every day, the good news is that the thermal power plant has now been built, has entered the equipment commissioning stage, and it is estimated that it will be energized in a few days. A few days ago, Yu Yang had organized people to set up power lines in Ping'an County and nearby villages, and now as long as the thermal power plant is turned on, Ping'an County can be electrified. According to the estimation of experts from Yan'an, the two generators currently installed in the thermal power plant are estimated to be running at half power in the early stage, and one can supply the electricity of the current Ping'an county and the surrounding areas.

Under the supervision of Hu Changming, the main building of the steel mill has been completed, and now it is entering the stage of equipment installation. Originally, Wang Lei also wanted to get a robot to let Bai Xue command remotely, but after Wang Lei's big construction order, all the movable robots in the mobile base and the inner cave of the arsenal joined the construction work, and there are currently no extra robots arranged elsewhere. So Wang Lei can only run here once a day.

The construction of the subway has also begun in an all-round way, the first stage is the construction of the subway tunnel, there is an automatic subway construction machine made by Baixue, tunnel excavation, construction, and track laying can be completed at one time.

After a period of rehabilitation, the Separate Regiment has re-recruited a new group of recruits. After summing up the experience of the last few operations, Zhao Gang learned from the pain and purchased a large number of bullets from the arsenal for the training of soldiers.

And the surrounding Japanese have been rare for a long time, the surrounding Japanese troops have not moved, and even the news of their return to the country of Prince Jiahei has not been reported at all, it seems that the Japanese royal family has hidden enough from Jiahezi. I don't know what kind of storm will happen when Jia Hezi returns to China with Wang Lei's order.

As for the Nationalist Government, they did not react to Wang Lei's clarification statement jointly issued by Zhang Hongying and Ouyang Yue on the surface. During this time, Wang Lei received a report from Sun Liren for 3 consecutive days that the goods purchased by the arsenal from abroad were detained many times when they passed through the defense area of the national government.

……

……

At the beginning of April, the thermal power plant was completed, and Wang Lei was invited to attend the inauguration and start-up ceremony of the thermal power plant. Wang Lei played the role of a mascot throughout the whole process.

And after the ceremony, Wang Lei was stopped by a person when he was about to go back.

"Are you Wang Lei, the director of Niujiazhuang?" Standing in front of Wang Lei was a young man wearing a black suit and looking like a gentleman, judging from his straight moves and movements, he seemed to be a soldier.

"You are?" Wang Lei listened to his accent a little strangely, not like a Shanxi person, and a little familiar.

The young man saluted: "I am Li Yuming, a staff officer of the 47th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and I was ordered to buy ammunition from your factory!" ”

Wang Lei frowned: "People from the National Government? "I don't know why Wang Lei has been allergic to people in the Nationalist Government recently.

"Yes!" The young man named Li Yuming saluted.

Wang Lei clasped his hands to his chest: "Haven't I been defined by you as a 'traitor'?" What do you want me to do? ”

……

At this time, Zhao Gang, who was not far away, saw Wang Lei's situation, he saw Wang Lei's situation, thought something was wrong, so he quickly walked over to Wang Lei: "Little madman, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Lei pointed to the young man in front of him: "This person from the 47th Army of the Kuomintang, he said that he wanted him to buy ammunition from me!" ”

When he heard the "Forty-seventh Army", Zhao Gang showed a surprised expression: "You are really from the Forty-seventh Army?" ”

"Yes! The contemptible man is the staff officer of the 47th Army! The young man said and took out his ID to show Zhao Gang.

After Zhao Gang saw the documents, he saluted the young man very seriously.

"What kind of fuss are you doing?" Wang Lei was confused by Zhao Gang's actions.

"Wang Lei, the 47th Army is the Sichuan Army, they ......" Zhao Gang introduced these admirable troops to Wang Lei.

Sichuan Army is the name of the local army in Sichuan during the Republic of China. The day after the outbreak of the 77 Lugou Bridge Incident, Liu Xiang, the Yunnan Frontier Governor, immediately sent a telegram to Chairman Chiang, asking for a war of resistance. At the same time, a telegram was sent to the whole country, calling for unanimous resistance against Japan. On August 7, 1937, Liu Xiang flew to Nanjing to attend the National Defense Conference and advocated the War of Resistance. He said: "In the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan can send 300,000 troops, supply 5 million strong men, and supply tens of thousands of stone of grain. After returning to Chengdu, according to the deployment of the Nanjing government, he appointed Liu Xiang as the commander of the Seventh Theater, and organized the Sichuan Army into two group armies, the 22nd Group Army, Deng Xihou, the commander-in-chief, and Sun Zhen, the deputy commander, had jurisdiction over the 41st, 45th, and 47th armies, and Liu Xiang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 23rd Group Army, and Tang Shizun was the deputy with jurisdiction over the 21st and 23rd armies. When the 23rd Group Army from eastern Sichuan arrived in Hankou, Chairman Chiang assigned it to the Chengqian First Theater to defend the periphery of Nanjing.

When the Sichuan army left Sichuan, it was widely regarded as the "worst army" in China at that time, with insufficient equipment, lack of ammunition, supplies and medical equipment, and soldiers still wore straw sandals on their feet when fighting in Shanxi in winter. However, it was such a unit that made countless of the most arduous and tragic sacrifices in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The 20th Army of Yang Sen's Department was the first Sichuan Army to fight the Sichuan War of Resistance in the Anti-Japanese War, starting from the Battle of Songhu, without service, and was the backbone of the three Changsha Battles. The 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, which participated in the Battle of Songhu, was one of the five divisions with the best combat record, with more than 4,000 officers and men in the division, but only more than 600 people remained when they were evacuated from the battlefield, with more than 85 percent casualties. In the defense of Nanjing, the 21st Army of the Sichuan Army defended the southern front, the 145th Division defended Guangde, the position was lost, the division commander Rao Guohua resolutely led the remaining only one battalion of troops to rush into the enemy position, in order to restore the position, and finally because he was outnumbered, he was besieged, and the ammunition was exhausted, and Rao Guohua committed suicide and martyrdom. Guo Xunqi, commander of the 144th Division, was also seriously wounded in the battle. At the end of the 37th year, the 22nd Group was incorporated into the Fifth Theater of Operations of Li Zongren and participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the commander of the 122nd Division, Wang Mingzhang, was ordered to garrison Teng County, and the 10th Division of the main force of the Japanese army, Ryosuke Isoya, stormed Teng County, bombarded with heavy artillery and aircraft, and blew up the city wall. After the martyrdom of the division commander Wang, the officers and soldiers of the department resisted house by house, fighting to the last man, and the wounded soldiers in the city did not want to be taken prisoner, so they used grenades to die with the enemy who rushed in. In the first battle of Tengxian, more than 5,000 people of the 122nd Division were almost all killed or wounded. Chen Li's Division, which was deployed in the Jiehe and Longshan belts north of Teng County, also suffered four or five thousand casualties. The 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, under the leadership of Wang Mingzhang, died in Tengxian County. In the end, more than 300 seriously wounded in the city, those who could move after the Japanese broke the city rushed out to fight hand-to-hand and martyred their country, and the remaining wounded who were unable to move smiled and pulled the remaining two boxes of grenades together, so as to die in the city. In this battle, none of the officers and men of the Sichuan army were captured, which won the respect of the whole country for the Sichuan army.

It was the great sacrifice of the Sichuan army that won the victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and Li Zongren once said with tears: "The Sichuan army was outnumbered and did not hesitate to make heavy sacrifices to prevent the enemy from moving south, complete the combat mission, and write the most glorious page in the history of the Sichuan army."

And Wang Lei also got the information of later generations from Bai Xue. Sichuan, together with the Sichuan army that went out of Sichuan to resist the war, a total of about 3.5 million Sichuan people took the battlefield of the war of resistance. In other words, about 1 in 15 Sichuan people went to the front line of resistance against Japan; One out of every five anti-Japanese soldiers in the country is from Sichuan. During the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, only a few provinces such as Sichuan were not trampled by the Japanese iron hooves, but Sichuan provided 20% of the country's military resources and 50% of the money and grain.

In front of the 47th Army, long-term combat in the southeast of Shanxi, later organized into the 36th Group Army, stationed in Henan, in the battle of central Henan, by the Kuomintang upper command is not effective, the western Henan departments in the chaos of the transfer, the 36th Group Army because it is a miscellaneous card, was ordered to act as a cover, on the way to transfer, the headquarters directly under the team unfortunately encountered the Japanese interspersed detachment, the commander-in-chief Li Jiayu was shot and killed on the spot, becoming one of the highest-ranking generals of the Sichuan Army who died in the War of Resistance.

The Sichuan Army, in terms of the equipment, military quality, and treatment of the troops, could not be compared with the Kuomintang Central Army.

After Wang Lei learned of this information, he was in awe of Li Yuming. However, this respect is not for Li Yuming, but for the Sichuan army and the Sichuan people who made great contributions to the Anti-Japanese War behind him, this is where Wang Lei finally reacted to his accent. Zhang Hongying is also from Sichuan, although she rarely speaks her hometown dialect at home, but Wang Lei once went back to Sichuan with her!

Wang Lei looked at Li Yuming's complicated expression: "I didn't expect Staff Officer Li to be the Sichuan Army!" I apologize to you first! But I want to know why you want to buy bullets from me, I remember that your national army is uniformly equipped with 7.9mm Mauser rifles, 7.9mm Czech ZB-26 light machine guns and 7.9mm barge guns, how can they buy bullets from me? We produce 7.62mm rifle bullets and 11.43mm pistol bullets, which don't match your weapons! ”

Originally, Wang Lei did not take into account the caliber of the bullet when he prepared weapons for the arsenal, but later Bai Xue changed the caliber of the submachine gun to 11.43mm in the drawings for the arsenal, and the bullets in the arsenal were unified to this standard. By the time Wang Lei found out later, tens of thousands of guns of all kinds had been manufactured, and Wang Lei was too lazy to correct them. Because this has the advantage that at least the Japanese may not be able to find useful bullets when they capture these guns on the battlefield.

Hearing Wang Lei say this, Li Yuming smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Director Wang, the batch of guns and ammunition that the Nationalist Government bought from you before was all used as materials by Chairman Jiang to distribute them to us. However, last month we found out that our salaries were missing your weapons and ammunition, and we learned later that the Chairman had stopped cooperating with you! Now this batch of guns is about to become an ornament because of the lack of ammunition, and in order not to waste this batch of good guns, the military seat ordered me to buy you a batch of ammunition! ”

Hearing this, Wang Lei touched his nose: "Look at this!" For the sake of the Sichuan army's sacrifice for the sake of the country, I donate 1,000 pistols, rifles, and submachine guns to you in my own name. 100,000 rounds of ammunition for pistols and rifles, 100 rocket launchers, and 1,000 rockets! As for the conditions for you to buy guns and ammunition from the arsenal, I agree to them, but we will discuss the details later! Wang Lei gestured to the surrounding environment.

Because the inauguration ceremony of the Ping'an County Thermal Power Plant has just been held, there are many newspaper reporters and people from all walks of life who have been invited to the newspaper, and they have heard the content of Wang Lei's dialogue just now. At this time, the surrounding reporters had already picked up their pens and worked hard to write, if it weren't for the fact that their cameras were not allowed to be brought in before entering the factory, they would have taken pictures now.

Li Yuming smiled apologetically, and at this time he also noticed the situation around him. He had just been able to come in, not only showing his papers, but also handing in his weapon, and finally being allowed to enter after a body search. (To be continued.) )
