(Khan, I'm sorry, I let everyone go, and I discussed with the editor that it was the 11th outbreak, and I got the wrong time before.) Sorry to postpone it for a day. Today's 6 more is counted as tomorrow, and tomorrow plus at least 6 tomorrow, a total of 12 more. In case you are waiting, don't wait any longer, let's rest early. ）

Li Du and Xing Zhanqing accompanied Jiang Li to the fortifications of Guyang and Sanjianfang Town.

"On the whole, it's pretty good, Guisui let the Japanese army occupy it, but if you really wait for the Japanese army to fight in this area, you will fight for every inch of land."

Jiang Li's leather-gloved hand thumped against the thick stone brick wall. For Li Du, Jiang Li can still be trusted, they all struggled from the troubled times, if they were greedy for money and afraid of death, they would not have chosen to participate in the Battle of Fengtian, let alone choose to run over thousands of miles and come to the northwest through the Soviet Union. However, a system had been established in the northwest at this time, and the military committee had already sent several waves of personnel to regularly inspect the fortifications in the north, and the inspection report was in Jiang Li's car at this time. Jiang Li just looked at it casually, and he wouldn't have more say than those commissioners who had been waiting here. Jiang Li's trip to the north is just to declare the importance that the northwest attaches to Suiyuan, not that Jiang Li can really know everything in front of him as soon as he comes.

"The commander can rest assured that if most of the personnel in Guisui had not been evacuated, it would not have been easy for the Japanese army to capture Guisui. Baotou is the steel center of the northwest in the future, and there is absolutely no room for failure, and the Japanese army wants to occupy Baotou, and it is almost hot. ”

Confidently and authentically, when the 5th Army withdrew from Guisui, it was still relatively abundant in terms of troops. Just with the bitter cold of the weather. The transportation of supplies in the rear is becoming more and more difficult. In addition, when the first occupation of Guisui was occupied, there was indeed a lack of effective fortifications, if it retreated to the area around Baotou, the northwest operated in Baotou for some time, and the positions operated by the Northwest Army were not like the Japanese army when they attacked Xinkou, they could only use some simple sandbags to deploy defenses. Pillboxes, trenches two meters deep. Minefields are readily available. Even if it has not yet been built, it is not comparable to the simple defense line built by some national * armies. In addition, Baotou is close to Ningxia and northern Shaanxi, and reinforcements from the Northwest Army can also arrive in a steady stream, and there will be no lack of support. Xing Zhanqing naturally recovered with confidence.

"You guy, if you don't reach out to me to ask for reinforcements, you can be so tough, and it won't be in vain for me to come to Suiyuan." Jiang Li pointed to the punishment of Zhanqing.

"I wouldn't dare say anything without reinforcements. The Jin Sui army was disabled this time, and as soon as Taiyuan arrived, the Japanese troops entering Shaanxi would be able to fight back, and maybe the scale of the Suiyuan battle would be larger than that of Xinkou. Xing Zhanqing said with embarrassment on his face.

"Then let's go and see where we specialize in producing reinforcements in the future." Jiang Li laughed when he heard this. Let the guards continue driving.

"It's far away from Xiaoguyang." Li Du looked at the sky and said, "The weather is not very warm this time. Why don't you take a few sips before you go? ”

"No need, let's go over there now, it's just dark for a while, I can ask the old cook over there in Lanzhou to prepare some good wine and food, and wait for us to go over and eat." Jiang Li looked at his pocket watch, "After reading this, I still have to rush back, and you still expect me to stay and swoop you to come to the defense of Suixi together?" ”

"It would be nice if the commander stayed and commanded. The days when I fought with the Japanese army in Mukden have always been fresh in my memory. Zhang Hu, who had been following him, smiled, Zhang Hu, like Zhang Chujiu, also came out of the special combat team, but Zhang Chujiu went to the mechanized brigade, and Zhang Hu, as the only apprentice Jiang Li had ever taken, stayed in the guard brigade. Responsible for Jiang Li's safety work. At this time, this is the sphere of influence of the 5th Army, and there are more than a dozen automobile soldiers in charge of escorting the front and back, and there is also a wheeled armored vehicle newly produced by the Northwest Tank Factory named Snow Leopard 1, even if there is an enemy, it may not be able to keep up with the speed of this convoy. It can keep up with the speed of this convoy, but in front of these Snow Leopard armored vehicles, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Tanks with high offensive and defensive defenses can't catch up with Snow Leopard armored vehicles, unless the air force is used. The snow leopard wheeled armored car just appeared, but it really shocked Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others.

"You little slippery, the commander stayed in Suixi to fight, you can say it." Li Du scolded with a smile, and then sighed with emotion, "But in retrospect, the battle in Mukden was really a tragedy." How tragic, how unforgettable. In the decades since the founding of the Republic of China, there has never been a war as magnificent as it was at that time. ”

"If I really had a backer, I wouldn't want to be involved in this mess. It's a pity, the past can't be traced. Jiang Li stroked his palm and smiled.

If you are alone in a boring car, time will be a little difficult. However, in the jokes of several people, time flies quickly, and the lights of the car shine far away. After a section of the black road, we marched to the crude steel mill in Guyang. From a distance, you can still see the steel plant in Guyang is brightly lit, even if it is already dark, there are still people and cars coming and going at the factory gate. A large number of laborers were either driven by horses, or driven by trucks, pulling large quantities of grain or other goods into the factory. And on both sides of the hard road, there are still a lot of laborers who are laying the rails in the dark. Most of these laborers were refugees who had fled to the Northwest during the war.

During the war, these people who lost their homes were just trying to have something to eat, and for them, as long as they did not live under the precarious rule of the Japanese army, even if it was hard, it was not a big deal. People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs. A significant number of these people have fled from war-torn areas. For the current hard life, it is already satisfied, after all, most of these people's families have been settled.

It is precisely in such a three-shift work intensity that it would have taken at least a year and a half to lay the railroad track to Baotou, but it took less than half a year to pave it. Of course, this is also the railway bridge built earlier in the northwest played a crucial role, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome to just get this large amount of materials across the Yellow River.

"Commander, you're here." Wu Zhiyou is the backbone transferred from the Tianshui Iron and Steel Plant, and at this time he is directly responsible for the production of the Guyang Iron and Steel Plant.

"What, you're worried that we'll be robbed halfway?" Jiang Li stepped down to the ground and kicked his legs, and sat in the car at night, and his qi and blood were a little unsmooth after sitting for a long time, "Lead the way, with an empty stomach on the way, I'm going to go here for a meal." ”

"The wine has been heated a few times, just wait for the commander to come. Let's go. "Wu Zhiyou is the nephew of Tibetan Shiyi, and he and Jiang Li have also met a few times, and they are not strangers to each other, so they hurriedly led the way in front.

Li Du and Xing Zhanqing didn't expect that there were two geology scholars and six or seven students dining together, and they were so excited when they saw Jiang Li, Li Du and a few others.

"Sit, sit. You are all in the northwest and are the heroes of the Republic of China. Don't look at us soldiers who look majestic in front of the people, without you intellectuals who sweat in the back, and those people outside the factory who build roads overnight, we can't stand up in front of the Japanese army. Jiang Li saw these students who still looked a little restrained and jerky. The war years were cruel, but in the same way, the sincerity of these students was also extremely valuable.
