Chapter 41 Industrial Base
Thundered...... The truck formation marched in front, the mighty and magnificent was very spectacular, it looked like there was a shadow of a modern army, a heavy machine gun or anti-aircraft machine gun was fixed on the top of the truck, once it encountered the enemy, it could strike fiercely, of course, in the back of the convoy, the dense recruits were running long distances in accordance with Zhang Cheng's training method under the leadership of the veterans, and each recruit's face was full of sweat, and their faces were very tired. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
While marching, training at the same time seems to be very hurried, but intensive assault training can quickly allow soldiers to master the use of weapons, because this is a kind of training similar to actual combat, so that the soldier's impression of the battle will be deepened.
According to Zhang Cheng's estimates, such a march may not reach Yinping until tomorrow morning.
"Quick, everybody has to keep up." It was almost dawn before all the vehicles and troops crossed the Yangtze River. Zhang Cheng left a squad of special combat personnel to lead a battalion of troops to stop the devils; The rest of the troops all withdrew to Yinping Town.
After the resettlement of the refugees, He Zhiqi reported to Zhang Cheng that Chen Guangcai had gathered a group of patriotic overseas Chinese and some demobilized soldiers from the United States in Shanghai and came to Yinping Town. The registration of the AK-47 patent has been completed, military factories are fed up and are reorganizing the production line. Production will be in operation next month.
Chen Guangcai handled things safely and reliably, and so much equipment and personnel were shipped back from Shanghai in the name of the American Tangren Industrial Company. It seems that although Japan occupied Shanghai, it has not yet openly turned against the United States.
There is a lot of equipment, Zhang Cheng looked at the list, mainly a rifle production line, an artillery production line, a bullet production line, a shell production line, a gunpowder factory equipment, as well as a small steel plant equipment and supporting power plant equipment.
This time, Chen Guangcai recruited not only military talents, but also technical personnel and skilled workers in mining, smelting, electric power, oil refining, machinery, and other specialties, a total of 350 people. What made Zhang Cheng happiest was that among the 10 demobilized soldiers, there were two air force instructors and one ground technician. Now with these people, it will be possible to immediately open specialized courses in aviation in the troops. As soon as you have an airplane, you can quickly start training.
Standing in front of these American technical talents, Zhang Cheng was a little excited, think about it, he can immediately build a steel plant and a power plant, smelt steel, and then produce weapons and ammunition, which is a groundbreaking thing in the history of the people. Maybe the national industry is just starting at this time,
Zhang Cheng was a staunch nationalist, and the most hated thing in his life was compradors. The so-called compradors are a handful of people who rely on foreign masters, try their best to stifle the national industry in China, and exchange the interests of the majority of compatriots for personal wealth, such as Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, and the brothers Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu, who are rare big compradors in modern China. The creed of the comprador is: it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy.
These compradors usually have good personal morality, and even philanthropists, like Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu, have devoted their lives to China's education and set up many schools, but this is only the surface.
Peeling back the surface, we can see that the Chen brothers relied on foreigners to stifle the true face of national industry.
As a result of the stifling of national industry, the huge China has become a dumping market for commodities and a supplier of raw materials to the West, and we have to buy the most expensive industrial products while providing the cheapest resources, which is equivalent to using the blood and tears of 450 million Chinese compatriots at that time to feed a handful of extremely rich compradors.
It was precisely because of this that Song Ziwen was able to become the richest man in the world at that time
If it weren't for the fact that these compradors brought disaster to the country and the people and tried their best to stifle the national industry, how could the brilliant China not even be able to make a small box of matches, and even rely on imports for soap
Although Chairman Chiang himself was not a comprador and even a nationalist in his bones, he relied on the support of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol, that is, the compradors, to start his family, and after he started his business, he also relied on the full support of the compradors, especially after becoming in-laws with the Confucian family and the Song family, he finally seized the highest power.
Therefore, until he finally fled to Taiwan, Chairman Chiang was unable to smash the interest groups of the comprador class, and the efforts launched by Chiang Dagongzi in Shanghai to actually promote local industrialization in the name of anti-corruption also ended in failure, so that Chairman Chiang sighed: If we fight corruption, we will not oppose the country, but if we do not, we will destroy the party.
It's far away, don't talk about it, let's get down to business.
As long as everything goes well, with Chen Guangcai's level and the ability of these technicians, with a little guidance on his own, any sniper rifle, bazooka, and rocket launcher can be produced. At that time, in addition to the superiority of the air force and navy, small Japan will have no superiority in infantry in front of Zhang Cheng's troops. As long as the all-out war of resistance starts, it won't be long before the Japanese will know that they have met his grandfather, and there will be no place to cry.
Zhang Cheng was in a happy mood and said in English to these American guests: "Welcome gentlemen to work in beautiful China. I am Zhang Cheng, commander of the Independent Brigade of the 88th Division of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and I am very happy to meet you. I am very honored to tell you that southern Anhui is a beautiful and mysterious land, and our soldiers are the most disciplined, the most rigorous in work style, and the most supported by the people in the history of mankind. Welcome to China, and helping the heroic Chinese defeat the Japanese invaders will be the most legendary and glorious experience of your life. If you have any questions or requirements, you can tell our comrades through an interpreter. My colleagues and I would like to be friends with you and wish you a happy life and success in your work with us. ”
As soon as these Americans heard Zhang Cheng's pure English, they immediately had a taste of meeting old friends in a foreign country, and they rushed up to hug Zhang Cheng, asking questions in English, and Zhang Cheng answered with a smile on his face.
Gao Zhisong and He Zhiqi didn't understand English and didn't know what Zhang Cheng was talking about, so they had to call a translator and ask the translator to relay Zhang Cheng's words.
Liu Zhongming on the side smiled and teased Gao Zhisong and said: "It's okay now, the translation for foreign devils has become a translation for Master Gao." ”
Gao Zhisong also laughed and said that Liu Zhongming is not kind, it seems that I have to learn English.
After meeting these foreign and American technicians, they camped in Yinping Town that night. Find Gao Zhisong and Liu Zhongming, "The battle of Xuzhou is about to start." I believe it won't be easy here in Hefei. The 26th Group Army, the 48th Division, and Luo Shujia's 199th Division were inferior in combat effectiveness to our brigade, and they lacked ammunition. We are now stationed in Chaohu, it is the devil to attack the front of Hefei, if the devil is frustrated in our attack, he will bypass Chaoxian and attack Hefei. Lao He, how much equipment can we have left now. "There are nearly 10,000 pieces of peace in Hanyang, and there are more than 4 million bullets." "Zhu Ping informed Zheng Peng and asked his transport brigade to send 4,000 guns, 2 million rounds of ammunition, and 10 heavy machine guns to Chief of Staff Zhao of the 122nd Division." The rest was divided into three parts and notified the defenders of Hefei to come and pick it up themselves.
During this time, everything went well. Although the mayor of the town, Luo Shanda, who was born as a landlord, was very supportive of the work of the independent brigade, and took the lead in reducing rent and interest, and sold the excess grain to the army.
Although it cannot be compared with the future generations, the base is still a start-up. Many industries have not fully recovered. But after all, the situation is stable. Zhang Cheng's policy is good, and there are not so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Zhang Cheng and Gao Zhisong strolled all the way, and saw that many business shops were still open, and Zhang Chengyue was in a happy mood. I couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Gao Zhisong looked at Zhang Cheng so happily and didn't want to spoil his mood. But I still have to say something in my heart. Then he said, "The brigade commander will send you a secretary." And with the president's letter of appointment," Zhang Cheng was a little surprised when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "When is this happening, why don't I know?" ”
Gao Zhisong said: "I just received a call from the military headquarters yesterday. ”
After arriving at Gao Zhisong's office, Zhang Chengcheng couldn't wait to take the telegram and read it carefully. The more I looked at it, the more annoying it became, and in the end, my eyebrows were tangled together.
After reading the telegram, Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and thought silently in his heart.
"The president is going to mix sand with our independent brigade," Zhang Cheng took two more puffs of cigarette, and smiled bitterly thinking that with the high quality of Zhisong, he would never have other ideas, so he would send someone over to control the military power of the independent brigade.
His words and deeds have invisibly affected the way of thinking of the officers of the Independent Brigade, and their thinking is also changing imperceptibly, and it is no longer the single, stubborn and traditional mode of thinking of the past, which makes Chen Guangcai's establishment of a company in the United States a clear proof.
Gao Zhisong said: "It seems that someone wants to slander the president. I think there should be an attitude. ”
Zhang Cheng smiled and didn't speak. He knows that Gao Zhisong is also depressed, where can he distinguish what is yours and mine, and he believes that Gao Zhisong has this awareness.
Gao Zhisong saw that Zhang Cheng was not angry, so he said: "Your current situation is really difficult to handle, if you don't handle it well, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and it is even possible to mutiny?" ”
Zhang Cheng was sullen, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "If you come, you will be safe?" ”
