Although the Battle of Xinkou was still hard, for the limelight of the independent column, with the Battle of Songhu finally falling into a situation of great rout, many people's attention was focused on the next changes in the battle situation.

In the face of the defeat of the Central Army in the Songhu Battlefield, the Battle of Xinkou was still stalemate or even defeated, and He Zhengdao finally received an order from the Central Committee to return to Yan'an to report to work. At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng, will be there.

The reason why He Zhengdao was deliberately called over was more to further discuss the plan formulated by He Zhengdao earlier. After all, it is really not easy to snatch back the base area if you want to snatch what the little devil has robbed.

It can even be said that after the implementation of this plan, it may make the little devil and the Eighth Route Army fall into a full-scale war. As for the pros and cons of this plan, both the central authorities and the general headquarters felt that it was necessary to talk to He Zhengdao in detail.

He Zhengdao, who also needed to hand over the captured goods to the headquarters, finally led the convoy of the logistics brigade and the saber special combat team to appear in Yan'an City again. Most of the people in Yan'an are familiar with this convoy.

Looking at the cars parked in the playground of the Eighth Route Army Material Warehouse again, Vice Chairman Zhou also smiled and said: "Now the people of Yan'an City know that as long as these cars appear, they are here to deliver things to us."

Xiao He, what good things did you bring to the headquarters this time? You know, our Minister Lin has been waiting for a long time! If you want to say that in the entire Yan'an City, who is most looking forward to the appearance of the convoy, then he must be the first. ”

Lin Boqu, the Minister of Finance of the border area, who was teased by Zhou Enlai, also said helplessly: "Vice Chairman Zhou, I can't help it!" Now. Although the situation of the governments of the border regions is better than before, there are also more places to spend money.

Didn't I hear you say a while ago that the independent column would escort a batch of seized money? I'm waiting for the rice to come to the pot now, so how can I not be in a hurry? Speaking of which, I don't know how much seizure money Commander He sent to the central government this time? ”

Faced with Lin Boqu's inquiry. He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Minister Lin, this money is not too much, but it is not too little. Most importantly, a large part of the seized money is paper money, and it depends on how Minister Lin spends it next.

Money, it must be usable. It's just that whether we can get what we want or not, it will take a little more effort. In addition to the seized Japanese banknotes, there were also batches of ocean, silver, and gold. Are they all on this list? ”

Looking at He Zhengdao handing over the financial list about the transfer of the headquarters, Lin Boqu glanced at it and said with a smile: "Well, it's good!" It seems that the chairman told the commander-in-chief that it is true that your independent column has made a fortune again this time.

Not to mention the millions of Japanese banknotes, it is a little difficult to exchange them for the time being, but you can still spend them if you think of a way. This silver and gold, which are worth millions of oceans, are still very useful to the currency we are about to promote. ”

In order to unify the financial management of the base areas. After discussions, the central authorities have decided to take the government of the border areas under their current control. The currency of the printing border area is simply the renminbi. In the future, the tax on goods in the base areas will be settled in RMB.

As for settling payments with other provinces, they also use things like the ocean. But at least in the base areas, the renminbi will still be used uniformly in the future. It's just that in order to promote the yuan, it is necessary to use certain reserves of precious metals.

This time, in the two cities of Baotou and Guisui, He Zhengdao also raided the bank set up by the little devil there. Financials are currently being transferred to Headquarters. Most of them were seized from banks. Of course, there are many other people who have seized those expatriates.

In addition to the financial resources that the central authorities are most concerned about, He Zhengdao also handed over a batch of weapons and ammunition to the central authorities. Although it is not the weapons and ammunition used by the Japanese army, it is also the extra weapons and equipment after the replacement of the independent column.

In general, if these equipment are put in other troops. It is still possible to assemble a few well-equipped garrisons. At least Mr. Zhu, who saw this list, seemed very satisfied.

He said with a smile: "Judging from the current situation, the two main divisions of your independent column with all-Japanese equipment are only the first in the country." I also want to see how much of a role you two main divisions of Japanese-style equipment can play on the battlefield in the future. ”

'Report to the commander-in-chief, in fact, the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, and the 3rd Division of the Independent Column are all equipped with the Japanese-style equipment of the two main regiments. The rest of the divisions, one main regiment, still use the standard equipment of the Central Army.

If we use all the equipment of the little devils, there will be certain problems with our ammunition supply. Judging from the current situation, all the weapons and ammunition equipped with the little devils may not have an advantage. Compared with the 38 big cover, the formal rifle is more lethal! ’

When changing the clothes of the two main divisions, He Zhengdao still learned from each other's strengths. The performance of the 38 big cover is good, but compared with the domestic Chinese formal rifle, the lethality is still insufficient.

It's just that the little devil's marksmanship is very powerful, and many times when the infantry shoots, they can hit the enemy's fatal parts. In this case, even if the Type 38 rifle has strong penetration, it can still kill with one shot.

It is precisely because of this that He Zhengdao finally decided to keep one main regiment and replace it with the standard equipment of the Central Army after some consideration. It is necessary to complement the advantages of existing weapons and enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the entire main division.

At the end of the material handover, He Zhengdao continued: "Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Vice Chairman Zhou, Mr. Peng, please follow me to the garrison of the guard division." There's something you'll love when you see it.

Considering the importance of this matter, I did not send a telegram when I came, just to surprise you, and also for security reasons. This surprise was that our arsenal developed a submachine gun.

Its performance has been tested by the saber special combat team, and it has more advantages than Jinzao submachine guns. In addition, both firepower and performance, including cost, are very suitable for our current arsenal production. Would you like to test it out? ”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu instantly said with a stunned expression: "Can our arsenal make guns?" ”

'Not enough for large quantities!' Most of these weapons made in advance were produced from steel made from the reinforcing of orbital steel. It's just that at present, the steel mill has figured out the refining process of this steel.

In the future, as long as we can supply raw materials, I believe that such weapons should be produced in a steady stream. It's just that another constraint that can't be mass-produced at the moment is that it is difficult to supply bullets to the battlefield for this submachine gun. ’

After a brief explanation, the four leaders followed He Zhengdao to the barracks of the guard division at the current central garrison. Replacing He Zhengdao as the commander of the guard division is Chen Geng, one of the 'Three Heroes of Whampoa'.

Seeing the arrival of several leaders, Chen Geng also seemed a little surprised, but he quickly saluted and greeted. And He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Old chief! This time, you need to borrow the shooting range of Guibao Land, Chairman, do you want to carry out the highest level of vigilance? ”

'Yes! Chen Geng, you can start arranging it! ’

'Yes, Chairman! ’

Although I don't understand why there is such a strict secrecy on the shooting range. But considering that the four leaders of the guard division are indispensable figures in the Eighth Route Army at this moment, it is also very necessary to implement such a system.

After everything was ready, He Zhengdao turned around and said, "Yuping, move all the things we brought to the shooting range." Prepare more bullets, and wait for the commander-in-chief and the boss to test it themselves. ”

'Yes! ’

As the group came to the shooting range under the leadership of Chen Geng, in addition to the members of the saber special combat team, the only divisional cadres left in the shooting range were the divisional cadres of the guard division. The rest of the guards were all deployed around the shooting range to carry out security guards.

Looking at Chen Geng's slightly confused expression, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Old chief, don't mind. Because this time, I also sent new equipment to your guard division. Because there are not many things, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of secrecy for the time being, so this arrangement is made.

The specifics, you'll know when you look at things. The weapon we made, though it doesn't look good. However, compared with Yan Laoxi's creation, it is more reliable and more conducive to the future performance of guard tasks by the guard division. ”

As he spoke, in front of everyone, He Zhengdao motioned to Song Yuping to open the wooden box containing the submachine gun. Looking at the submachine gun placed inside, the shape is indeed a little weird, everyone thinks, why does this gun have so many holes?

In addition to this, the barrel of the gun also seems to be very short. And the all-steel gun body makes everyone think that this thing is really better than the Jinzao submachine gun? But they also felt that He Zhengdao should not joke with them.

Grabbing a submachine gun, He Zhengdao briefly introduced the manufacturing process and performance of this submachine gun, emphasizing that this submachine gun has more firepower advantages than Jinzao submachine guns in terms of loading.

After the introduction of these performances, all the leaders present who have led soldiers to fight in the war also think that this thing looks inconspicuous, but listening to He Zhengdao's narration, it seems to be really good! The most important thing is that the arsenal designs and produces it itself.

From the Republic of China to the present, most of the major military factories have imitated foreign guns in the manufacture of guns. At present, there can be an independently developed submachine gun, which is also a very face-raising thing!

'Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, if you don't mind, I'll let the special operations team demonstrate it to you first?' ’

'Yes! ’

Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, who readily agreed, quickly watched Song Yuping and others use this submachine gun to conduct a target shooting demonstration at the shooting range. Looking at the crisp sound of gunfire and the smooth de-echambering of the bullet casings, everyone felt happy in their hearts.

By the end of the demonstration, everyone was even happier when they looked at the target full of bullet holes. This shows that the accuracy of this submachine gun is also very good. This means that this is really a submachine gun that can be equipped with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in a large area.

Thinking of this possibility, everyone was very happy. After all, this was the beginning of the Eighth Route Army from scratch. Taking this step is also of great significance to the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.) )
