Chapter 4 Honors (Mitsugai)

This task. Liu Guoliang is happy to accept. It's not the last two years. To split the team's financial resources, we also need to consider the question of whether the route is correct or not. At present, from the northern border area of Shaanxi to the major base areas. Production self-help has become the second most important thing after the war against Japan. It is also repeatedly emphasized in the instructions of the superiors. Each military sub-district must have a leader of sufficient weight to grasp production. And it is necessary to catch the results in a short period of time.

There are two main reasons for the change in the guiding ideology of the Eighth Route Army. First. It was the continuous expansion of the anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines. The reality of the growing population of jurisdiction. Second. It is an increasingly difficult external environment.

It's not three or seven years now. At that time. The National War of Resistance has just begun. Even if the central government wants to do it for the people to see. It was also necessary to symbolically allocate some ammunition and military pay to the Eighth Route Army. And since the summer of the thirty-eighth year. Prevent the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army from secretly making big arguments by taking advantage of the opportunity of the War of Resistance. It regained the upper hand within the National Government. The salaries paid to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could be delayed. There are enough excuses to find every time you procrastinate. There is no repetition of even the patterns. By the spring of this year. With the "kicking" of He Guiyan, director of the Military Commission, to the Soviet Union to deal with aid to China full-time. The rations and salaries for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were completely stopped. The people of the Chongqing office went to the military committee every time to ask for it. Or eat a closed door. Or be entertained with good tea and water. Then inform me to come back next time.

Cut off from food and pay by the Military Commission. However, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could not help but continue to persist in the War of Resistance. Forty thousand pairs of eyes across the country are staring at it. Who is shedding blood for the country. Who became a bad seed. The hearts of the common people are like mirrors. Moreover, with the current position of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Nor can they turn around and "turn in" like other warlords, not only are they far away from Chongqing. Also far away from Yan'an. The major base areas rely on the common people for a handful of rice. A piece of wood was piled up. If the Eighth Route Army also learned from other bad breeds, it turned around and ran away. The common people have suffered their own sins. Those big and small traitors under the command of the little devil don't have the courage to make a move with the Eighth Route Army. Dogs bullied the common people. But it's a top one. Especially for the common people who have supported the anti-war team. The more the traitors see their filth in each other's tall figures. The more you want to cut them down.

How to hold on without a supply of food and materials. The solution is only eight words." Streamline your team. Self-reliance". The headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. Several cavalry regiments have been reorganized into infantry. Except for a very small part of the valuable war horses, they are equipped with agency leaders and communication units. The rest are either given to the villagers to be used as big animals for pulling carts and farming. Or slaughter en masse. When the cavalry witnessed the horses that usually lived and died together being led to the slaughterhouse. The grief in his heart can be imagined (Note 1)

As a three-level military division that has just been established for a short time. There weren't many people in the Chabei Army Division. So there's no need to streamline the team for the time being. But self-reliant things. But it's not sloppy at all. This involves the military division in the future under the blood transfusion of the loss of the superior department. The question of whether they can survive independently. It is also about whether the newly opened base can stand on its feet. can be used when external circumstances change. Still developing and growing step by step. Not only the direct organs of the military sub-division headquarters. Find ways to be self-sufficient. subordinate local armed forces. It also depends on the surrounding environment in which you are located. Do everything you can to raise your own supplies.

Chahar as a whole is vast and sparsely populated. It is impossible to develop agriculture in the base areas as in central and southern Hebei. The only practical solution is based on the difference in natural resources inside and outside the mouth. Produce some that are easy to trade and circulate. The price is also easy to accept by the common people of the initial industrial product. And the kind of miniature clay workshops that the Blackstone guerrillas set up. It is undoubtedly the best imitation object for the fraternal units in the military division. Although the production capacity of a single workshop is not high. Material waste is serious. It is easy and convenient. It is easy to "breed" in a large area, as long as there are enough raw materials and manpower. Not copy one by one. One by one copied to the blossoms everywhere. One day the little devil hit the door. Then pack up and move to the donkey cart to transfer. Change places and settle down. It can be put back into production.

I thought that I could take advantage of the production technology that the Blackstone guerrillas had already explored. Raise the self-hematopoietic ability of the entire Chabei Army Division by a level. Liu Guoliang's heart is hot. Don't wait to wake up and do more mobilization. He said in a loud voice, "Even if you don't say this today. I'm ready to take the initiative to mention it to you. The king's beard and the workshops they opened. It can be regarded as walking ahead of the entire military division. Even if you look at the entire Jinchaji Military Region. It is also very typical of value. So I'm going to send some more people. Go in batches to learn from the scriptures. At the same time, we will also provide them with some technical and personnel support."

"Hmm." Wake up and nod in satisfaction. Old partner Liu Guoliang, although sometimes the political strings are too tight. Get things done. But there is a stock that is simply neat and energetic. I can share a lot of the load for him as a commander." It's not just the workshop. Miscellaneous. There is also a need to do some policy tilting. Last time I remember Wang Huzi calling a report to say. They seized a Jap's car. I want to remove the engine and use it as a generator. Power the station. Do you have someone who knows how to make a change?"

"Technically, it shouldn't be that difficult. I have one who came back from Nanyang to support the war effort. I used to work as a mechanic in a car repair shop owned by the Dutch." Liu Guoliang thought about it. groaned in response. But ......"

"What's wrong. He doesn't want to go down to the grassroots." Hear the hesitation in Liu Guoliang's words. The commander asked, frowning. Do you do the work for him? Learned people. It's inevitable to have a little temper. Tell him okay. Just go for a few months. If you solve the problem on the other side of the Black Stone Village, you can come back immediately."

"Not really." Liu Guoliang grinned. Shake your head and smile wryly." This person. What does this man say? This man was a Christian. Very devout kind. Worship is done every week. He also wears a sterling silver cross on his chest."

"You're talking about Don Jr." The commander wakes up in front of his eyes. Quickly flashed a pale face. A well-mannered figure. Stunned. asked with a wry smile.

"If it's a Christian. I'm afraid it's Don Jr. The one nicknamed Worship Don." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun has little contact with technical personnel. But I was also very impressed by this person.

No way. In the midst of a group of atheists who believe in **. A Christian who is devout to the level of an ascetic. It's so eye-catching. Not only the main leaders of the Chabei Military Division remember him. The entire military sub-district organs. There are only a handful of people who don't know "Worship Tang".

This person was after the outbreak of the "77 Incident". Commissioned by overseas Chinese in Nanyang. A group of transport vehicles were escorted back to China. It was originally planned to be after the cargo was unloaded at the port of Guangzhou. Hop back on the steamer right away. Unexpectedly, among the goods, there were two old trucks donated by overseas Chinese, and they lay down before they left the dock. As a technician. After he repaired the car. Because I don't feel at ease. I followed the vehicle all the way to Wuhan. And then in view of the lack of technical personnel in the national government. Volunteer with the convoy to the 27th Army's German tank battalion to provide maintenance tanks.

Last May. The Japanese invaded eastern Henan. The 27th Army, which guarded Lanfeng, and the 8th Army, which guarded Shangqiu, fled without a fight. The advanced German tanks were all lost to the Japanese devils without firing a few shots. As a tank maintenance engineer. Worship Tang was also thrown to the little devil chaser. Fortunately, he had a cross on his chest. He is also fluent in Dutch. He escaped by pretending to be a missionary. And then went through a lot of tribulations. Only then did he enter Jinchaji. He was hired by the Eighth Route Army to become an expert in automotive and electrical technology.

But he's an expert. and the eight serious master's and doctoral students in the Jizhong Arsenal who have returned from overseas studies. There is indeed a very big gap. Compared to those domestic scholars who graduated from Peking universities. There is also a lack of theoretical level. In addition, what he is good at is not the field of weapons manufacturing that is urgently needed by the Jizhong Military Division. That's why he was used as a telecommunications engineer. Transferred to the newly opened Chabei Army Divisional Office. Guide the daily maintenance and repair work of high-power radios.

Because of the influence of personal beliefs, living habits and temperament. Telecommunications expert "Worship Tang" at the headquarters of the Chabei Army Division, where there is a shortage of talents. Life is not very happy either. Although the technical cadres are very impressed with his hands-on ability. The principal leaders of the military sub-districts have also repeatedly stressed the need to respect the personal freedom of belief of non-party personages. But every day I watch a guy who talks about God dangling in front of his eyes. The hearts of the staff of the military sub-district organs. Or instinctively a sense of repulsion. Unless you have to ask for technical questions. Usually they stay away from this person.

Such an unsociable alternative. It's no wonder that Liu Guoliang, the head of the security section, was hesitant to send him to the Blackstone guerrillas. There are green forest tycoons like Zhao Tianlong over there. There is also a Kuomintang lieutenant colonel like Zhang Songling. There is also a White Russian international battalion that does not dare to see the light . The situation was already complicated enough. Shove an incredibly devout Christian through. also let the captain of Wang Huzi break his heart...

"It's fine. A sheep is also a chase. Two sheep are also herded." The awakening mind is very jumpy. In a very short time. It's a different angle. Wave your hand. I made my decision with confidence." Since it's not Comrade Don Jr. . It's not that Don Jr. engineers themselves are unwilling to go down to the grassroots. Send him over. I believe in Wang Huzi's ability. He can even receive his command from Yunlong. It's not like you're scrambled just because there's an extra Christian in the ranks."
