Seeing that the team had gone out for training, He Jianye was not idle, and asked Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi to leave a platoon each to protect the regiment headquarters and the communications squad, and submit any messages immediately (in fact, the surveillance communication squad, he had just been isolated and examined, but it was still during the review period, so don't be found out by the military commanders. ), took Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi to supervise the training of the troops, and slipped away to the foot of Mozi Mountain on the east side of Biandan Mountain.

"Zeng Da, the recruit battalion, the first battalion, and the baggage company each send a squad to take a look; Yang Xiaoshi is responsible for supervising the training of other troops, and each unit has one squad and reports every two hours. He Jianye ordered,

After arranging the inspectors, He Jianye took Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi, and a platoon of the guard company to Mozi Mountain, and after arranging the guard, he lit a fire on the mountain, got out the radio, and began to contact his family.

"First of all, I will ask what is the situation at the Geling base, have you finished the reinforced concrete fortifications?" He Jianye said,

Yang Xiaoshi was spinning the generator vigorously beside him, and Zeng Da began to send out a report......

"Regiment Commander, call back" At noon, Zeng put the transmitter on the stone below the woods, spread out the paper on the box, and recorded the content of the callback.

"The warehouse in the belly of the Geling base has been expanded, and the surrounding fortifications have been reinforced with reinforced concrete fortifications. At present, the number of weapons demanded by the national military government has increased significantly, and according to the actual situation, it has begun to exchange food for weapons and ammunition. ”

"Ask about the progress of the 75 mountain artillery and the 88 anti-aircraft artillery." He Jianye then asked,

"According to the steelmaking technology provided by the Americans, it has been improved, and now live fire tests are being carried out on two guns in trial production, and the tests are expected to be completed by the end of the month."

"Ask about the inventory of various ammunition." After reading it, He Jianye said directly,

"Some time ago, most of the steel was consumed on the fortifications, with more than 50,000 rifles in stock, less than 1,000 mortars, and 60,000 box guns. The copper used in bullets has not been consumed much, and the production of guns was stopped after only 10 bases were equipped, and most of them were hoarded. The supply of ore is now able to keep up, and steel mills and copper smelters have been operating at full capacity. ”

"Now the monthly output of steel can reach about 100,000 tons, but the warehouse is almost insufficient; The government has been seeking to buy weapons and ammunition, but it does not dare to ship them in large quantities. If the 75 guns and 88 guns officially start production, I am afraid that it will consume a lot of steel. ”

"Tell my family that the factory is fully operational, and the government can sell as much as we can buy, as long as we can supply. The price is reduced by 20%. He Jianye gritted his teeth and said,

"Let James contact weapons factories in the United States to buy technology for the production of anti-aircraft machine guns and 20mm rapid-fire guns." He Jianye continued,

"The number of displaced people pouring into the Nanchang area is gradually increasing, and we have done our best to resettle the displaced people, recruit workers and train the militia, but the food gap is getting bigger and bigger, and if we don't stop, I'm afraid there will be food problems in a month."

"Let the Nationalist Government exchange food for weapons and ammunition, and do its utmost to ensure the resettlement of displaced people." He Jianye gritted his teeth and said,

"My family misses you and asks when you can go back to visit your family." Zeng Datou didn't reply, nor did he translate the telegram, and said directly to He Jianye,

"The war is busy, let's have a chance!" He Jianye said,

"Confirm the daily contact time."

"I can't confirm it, I'll take the initiative to contact when I have time." He Jianye said,

"Okay, let's take it after sending!" He Jianye said,

A few people slowly packed up their things and walked down the mountain......

"Regiment commander, a few of us took turns to take a look, and several battalions and companies are not bad, and they are working hard to carry out training." Li Qiang, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance company, reported,

"Well, let's go back to camp first." He Jianye took the guard company and the reconnaissance company to slowly walk towards the regimental headquarters of Biandan Mountain in the afterglow of the afternoon sun;

"Commander, Madang is lost. The division headquarters ordered us to end the training and wait for the order to assemble reinforcements to Jiujiang at any time. "As soon as I returned to the regiment headquarters, the communications squad handed me a telegram,

"yes, got it." He Jianye took the telegram, put it on the table casually, looked at the map, and said to Zeng Da,

"You and Yang Xiaoshi together, tomorrow morning to start catching more fish, tomorrow morning, you take a platoon to stay with me, and the rest of the people go to Mozi Mountain, and ask the cooking class to prepare more food to replenish the training troops."

"Yes, Commander. Shall we assemble tomorrow and prepare to return? Zeng Da asked,

"Assemble first, and then talk about the time of return." He Jianye said,

"I know, I will immediately call someone to inform all battalions and companies to assemble at Biandan Mountain tomorrow morning." Zeng Da said,

"Go ahead!" He Jianye sat at the table and looked at the map, the more he looked, the more anxious he became!

"It's Jiangxi, then Wuhan, and after Wuhan, it's Nanchang. Nanchang ......" He Jianye sat at the table and thought blankly......

On the morning of July 3, 1938, the troops of the 16th Regiment who were conducting field fortification training returned one after another, and He Jianye looked at the brothers who came running in the dust, as if he saw the brothers who had just sworn in from Nanchang to fight against Japan...... The same military uniform, steel helmet and familiar weapons and equipment, but as the team slowly approached, the faces all changed.

"I wonder how many brothers will come back this time?" He Jianye asked himself in his heart,

"Report to the regiment commander, the sixteenth regiment has completed the training troops." Lenzaki reported loudly,

"The assessment began, this time during the day. See how long it will take you to complete the field fortifications. Unfold on your own. He Jianye said,

"Yes, the supplementary battalion builds the first line of trenches, the first battalion builds the second lane, the second battalion builds the regimental headquarters fortifications and communication trenches, and the third battalion is responsible for the left and right flank trench fortifications and high ground control, start!" Leng Qi shouted,

The brethren, who had just finished running, looked at the unhappy face of the regimental commander, and despite their fatigue, immediately began to dig trenches, but this time they were much more serious.......

"Monkey, why don't the brethren speak? Digging in the stuffy head? Zhao Dali asked,

"I don't know, let's dig it up! Something must be wrong, and it's not wrong to follow the veterans. The monkey said a few words and began to dig......

In less than an hour, looking at the first trenches and the rapidly constructed highland machine gun bunkers on the left and right flanks at the foot of Biandan Mountain, He Jianye nodded......

After two hours, the position was completed, and all that remained was various reinforcements.

"Stop!" He Jianye shouted,

This time, the brothers did not dare to sit down, and they all stood in their trenches, waiting for the inspection of the regimental commander. By the way, if you see what's wrong, you have to make up for it while the regiment commander is checking other places......

"Yes, it looks like you can still dig trenches!" He Jianye walked around and said,

"Brethren, the trenches and anti-artillery holes are not for me, but for your own life; The devil has planes in the sky and tanks and heavy artillery on the ground; If you don't dig bunkers seriously, you will lose your own life and that of your comrades on the battlefield. Do you understand? He Jianye asked,

"Understood!" The brethren cried out with a loud voice,

"Okay, assemble, set off towards Mozi Mountain at the speed of a forced march." He Jianye then ordered.
