In the morning, a militia came to the news that the convoy was already thirty miles away, and Nie Rongzhen personally got on the horse to meet them.

Nie Rongzhen stood on the earthen hill on the side of the road, saw a horse team walking on the mountain road in the north, was overjoyed, and said, "But I can look forward to you." "Pat the horse and greet it. After walking a short distance, I saw the first two riders, one was Yang Chengwu, and the other must be Luo Cequn.

When the other party saw it, he also patted the horse to greet him, the two were not far away, dismounted together, saluted, Nie Rongzhen said: "It's Minister Luo, right?" ”

Luo Cequn said: "Yes, yes." You must be Commander Nie. I have admired the daimyo for a long time. How many times have our commander-in-chief mentioned you to us, and today we finally met. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "What do I have." Your defense of Nanjing, that's great. This time, the weapon is really timely rain. You see, with your equipment, our various units will be able to get in touch. Now, in many cases, communications rely on communicators on horseback, not to mention hard work, time cannot be delayed, and sometimes fighter planes are quickly gone. Timely rain. ”

Yang Chengwu said: "In the past few days, I have looked at the weapons all over the place, what a good guy." We also have cannons. Now, the days of being angry with the Japanese have passed. ”

Luo Cequn said: "We don't have many troops equipped with these weapons. However, our commander-in-chief said that we have obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment in the Battle of Nomenkan, and with the new equipment, we must not forget the headquarters and fraternal troops. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "I really want to meet him." ”

Luo Cequn said: "He often runs around the world and remotely controls Yichun's affairs outside. Maybe he wants to come to North China too. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "Where is he now?" ”

Luo Cequn said: "In accordance with Vice Chairman Zhou's instructions, he opened up a base in Inner Mongolia, and he has recently gone south. The current location is almost to Chifeng. ”

Yang Chengwu said: "I heard that wherever he goes, there will be big battles. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "Let's go, let's go back and talk." ”

On the way back, Nie Rongzhen carefully looked at the troops in the northeast and found that they were leading two or three horses by themselves, and some even led three or four horses. Horses carried boxes, barrels, racks, luggage and sacks of grain. The men were dressed in grass green, in the style of Soviet clothes, with sturdy shoes, good luggage, bedding, even blankets, and horses carrying tents. The weapons were all submachine guns, and the cartridges on the body were heavy.

Yang Chengwu said: "Commander, you can see that their equipment is good." ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "This is called the regular army." ”

Luo Cequn said: "In the early days, our commander-in-chief asked me to be the minister of equipment, and I was still a little reluctant. Our level is very different from that of the Japanese army, let alone compared with the Soviet army. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "This is already much stronger than us. Some of our home-made bombs can't kill people at all. Let me ask you, Minister Luo, what is this gun called? ”

Luo Cequn said: "This is called a submachine gun, look, this is a burst shot, this is a single shot, this is insurance." We made it ourselves. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "With such a large magazine, how many bullets are there?" ”

Luo Cequn said: "Thirty rounds." We are generally reluctant to fire continuously, otherwise, dozens of bullets will be finished in the blink of an eye, and the firepower is very fierce. One or two submachine guns are used as machine guns on a section of the position. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "I think this bayonet is three or eight shots. ”

Luo Cequn said: "Yes. Designed with compatibility in mind. Compatibility is the new word of our commander-in-chief. In this way, the logistics are simpler. Look, this bullet is also the same as the 38 bullet. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "What about this gun? It seems to be better than the German gun. ”

Luo Cequn said: "This is a sniper rifle, we imitate the Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle 1930 type, look, this is a scope, we made it ourselves." Our glassworks used to make glass, then we made mirrors, we groped for glasses, and finally we made telescopes and sights. This sniper rifle, which is better than the Soviet one, beats officers, heralds, drivers, scouts, is very powerful. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "Better than the Soviet Union? ”

Luo Cequn said: "The commander-in-chief has changed the design, and the gun body has become half a pound lighter. The recoil is smaller, the scope multiplier has increased, 6 times. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "I heard that your commander has won a battle with this kind of gun?" ”

Luo Cequn said: "No, he used an ordinary rifle, and he once relied on sniping to scare the bandits into surrendering." Commander Nie, this is for attacking fortifications. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "I've seen this, I don't have a conscience cannon, this Yan'an also produces." ”

The next day, under the order from above, more than a dozen radio stations were divided at once, and the technicians from Fengtian and the equipment were divided together, and they set off on the same day. By the third day, there was no conscience cannon and the bazookas were distributed.

Nowadays, the Eighth Route Army has a huge number of people, and this weapon is really not enough. Some of the soldiers who sent weapons went to Jinchaji, not far, but some had to walk thousands of miles, and the farthest was to Shandong Province.

After the weapons were distributed, in the evening, Luo Cequn found Nie Rongzhen and said, "Our commander-in-chief has something for me to bring to you." ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Luo Cequn: "We are opening up the Inner Mongolia base area, and the biggest problem at present is the lack of population. If there are people who are willing, we want to relocate a group from Kannai. Of course, this is not easy, and it is not a matter of one or two days, if there is a famine, you can take advantage of the situation. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "This is our long-term plan, but don't worry." I take it as a big deal. ”

Luo Cequn: "Back then, there were many homeless people wandering around. If the river in the Yellow Flood Area does not recede, the displaced people cannot return home, so it is better to guide them to Inner Mongolia. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "This is a good idea, this is not something that one or two people can do." However, the strength of our party is limitless. ”

Luo Cequn: "The second thing is that in case of a big battle in the future, he wants to work with you to take down the Zhangjiakou area from the south and the north." The courtyard walls of our two families are connected. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "A few days ago, your commander-in-chief had a horseback meeting, did you read the telegram?" ”

Luo Cequn: "Got it." That's what I'm here for. After taking Zhangjiakou, as soon as the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was broken, the support of the Japanese army Datong was cut off. The situation in Shanxi is different. ”

Nie Rongzhen said: "In that case, we will be like choking their necks." Very good. There is difficulty. Let's take a look at the map. Do some good research. How can you help me? ”

Luo Cequn: "We don't lack troops, we don't lack militia. ”

The next day, General Peng called and quickly recruited Luo Cequn to come to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, intending to recommend him as the head of the equipment department of the 18th Group Army.

Luo Cequn's reaction to Mr. Peng's request was a little complicated. With this position, there is a bigger stage, but he is reluctant to leave Yichun.

Mr. Peng got the equipment this time, and he was very touched, so he came up with this idea. After discussing with Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu said: As long as he personally agrees, I will resolutely obey the decision. However, there is one thing that I would like to ask for help from the organization, that is, Mr. Peng will solve a candidate for the head of equipment for me. Chen Yu, who returned from the Soviet Union a few months ago, worked in industry and asked Mr. Peng to help me come. This thing was done, and the arms were greatly reduced.

Xiaolu then sent a telegram to Luo Cequn, congratulating him and hoping for better cooperation in the future. If you need any help, just ask.

Nie Rongzhen sent Luo Cequn away and said, "It's a pity, you came and went in a hurry, I originally wanted to take you to Wutai Mountain for a tour." Later, I'll take you later. ”

Luo Cequn said: "State affairs are important, and I will talk about it later." We have been very close to each other in the past few days, and we will be together for a long time in the future. ”
