Tuesday Dog has now essentially entered the ranks of the bigwigs of the anti-Japanese war team: with nearly 100,000 soldiers, there are 5 arsenals and nearly 100,000 troops in the Jiangbei region, the third war zone, the fourth war zone, the fifth war zone, and the ninth war zone, and he directly controls 1 military industrial zone with more than 100,000 troops; Although the number of troops is small, the combat power is strong, and although the territory is not large, it is rich in products; Although the military rank is not high, there are 2 lieutenant generals and 11 major generals under his command, and in fact, many colonels and even lieutenant colonels have the strength of generals.

The chairman of the committee also treated Tuesday the dog differently, and promoted the officers of Wu Mujun to the rank of knight, and promoted a group of major generals: Liu Chenghai, Wang Yilang, Wu Zhen, and Shu Jintang.

Except for regular small-scale raids and raids, the troops did not make any major moves, and on Tuesday the dog began to focus on production. Of course, the realization of this goal also depends on the level of science and technology, the efficient organization of production, and the reasonable distribution of benefits......

Therefore, Tuesday Gou had already arranged for Baiyi Daoist to be in charge of recruiting overseas talents through various channels: arranging for newly recruited international students to go abroad, and hiring foreign professionals through the relationship between Du Yuesheng, overseas Chinese, and his classmates and colleagues. Due to the outbreak of the European war, many countries occupied by Germany produced a large number of exiles, and at the same time, Britain and the United States and other countries also produced many professionals who evaded military service, and were invited to Xishan by Tuesday's wild wishes: more than 300 engineers, professors, and technicians in steel, energy, electricity, machinery, chemical engineering, electronics, medicine, and medical care were almost consumed, and the coffee, condensed milk, and chocolate stored by Tuesday Dog were almost consumed.

In order to meet the needs of development, Tuesday Dog further adjusted the industrial pattern of Xishan, and classified and managed all factories and workshops:

The first category, private factories: this kind of factories do not have high requirements for safety, energy and technology, so they are handed over to the local people to produce by themselves, and Wu Mujun provides technical support and procurement standards. The site must be in the southern Jiangsu plain outside the West Mountain, such as: paper mills, ceramic factories, brick kilns, lime kilns.

The second category, logistics plants: this type of factory does not have high requirements for safety, energy, and technology, and is used to

Settle the wounded and retired soldiers of the Wumu Army, and at the same time ensure the safety of the logistics supply of the Wumu Army. The site must be in the southern Jiangsu Plain outside the West Mountain, such as: cigarette factory, livestock farm, food factory, rope factory, weaving factory, garment factory, equipment factory, pharmaceutical factory, foundry, printing factory, and newly established wood factory to produce and repair carts, simple carts, minesweepers, crossbows, saddles, stabbing protective gear and other bamboo and wood products; Set up a gold factory to produce various steel products and spare parts, and repair various vehicles and equipment.

The third category, equipment factory: this kind of factory has high requirements for safety, energy and technology, mainly produces weapons and equipment, and is built in the caves and jungles of Xishan, such as the gun factory (responsible for the production of Qiguang submachine guns and gun maintenance), bullet factory, artillery shell factory, grenade factory, flying mine factory, ammunition factory, and motorcycle speedboat factory (built on the west bank of Taihu Lake).

The fourth category, material factory: this kind of factory has high requirements for safety, energy and technology, mainly produces raw materials for weapons and equipment, and is built in caves and jungles in Xishan, such as black powder factory, explosives factory, iron-making factory, steel-making plant, acid-alkali factory, organic factory (production of alcohol, ether, acetic acid), match factory, soap factory.

The fifth category, power plants, such factories have high requirements for safety, energy, and technology, such as power plants, oxygen plants, steam plants, hot air plants, and steel plants, which are the foundation of all major factories and must be placed in the safest place in Xishan.

Through the planning of Tuesday Dog and professionals, each factory adjusted its site so that the site of the plant, energy, transportation, equipment and other resources can be used in the most reasonable way. Because many of the personnel in the factory are from military backgrounds, the militarized management in the factory has greatly improved the production efficiency, of course, the treatment of the workers is also good, the free food with meat and vegetables every day, slightly lower than the salary of the troops, and slightly lower than the bonus mechanism of the troops, so that the people who want to enter the Wumu military factory squeeze their heads, stimulate the enthusiasm for learning in the technical school, and also stimulate the enthusiasm of the local people and soldiers to learn culture.

On Tuesday, the dog's efforts and material resources were rewarded beyond expectations:

The Dutchman Davis prepared to build a steel-making open-hearth, the German Manstein used the open-hearth furnace to smelt high-quality steel with low phosphorus and low sulfur, the Englishman Gascoigne smelted tungsten sand to produce tungsten powder, the Frenchman Deschamps reused high-quality steel into an electric furnace to make high-carbon steel and high-speed tungsten steel, and the American Richard prepared and operated a series of steel hot processing production lines......

High-quality steel has also led to the improvement of the level of mechanical processing equipment, resulting in a great increase in the quality and output of weapons of the Wumu Army, and a great increase in the output of armor-piercing bullets, grenades, and anti-tank grenades, with a daily output of 120 armor-piercing bullets, 1,000 grenades, and 8,000 anti-tank grenades;

However, due to the lack of enough seamless steel pipes, only the captured weapon parts were transformed, and the Qiguang Type 1 submachine gun produced 170 units per day, and the Qiguang Type 2 submachine gun produced 45 units, and the performance and life of grenadiers, mortars, infantry guns, and mountain artillery were greatly improved after being repaired......

In addition, the Dutchman Davis also improved the kiln for the production of clay pots, greatly increasing the temperature of the kiln, saving fuel, so that the kiln can produce porcelain that requires higher temperatures, so the clay pot grenade, clay pot mine, and clay pot grenade were changed to porcelain pot grenades, porcelain pot mines, and porcelain pot grenades.

The Australian Famler built an ammonium nitrate plant to replace saltpeter; The Japanese Kinshichiro Murayama built a picric, TNT, and smokeless gunpowder factory; Canadian Rigs rebuilt and expanded the chemical plant to produce a large number of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, calcium carbide, and also established a huge experimental plant to produce small batches of potassium permanganate, potassium chlorate and other chemical agents.

The Swede Anderson improved the papermaking process and designed a series of simple and practical equipment, and the Swiss Ronald developed a variety of manual small lathes, boring machines, milling machines, planers, grinding machines, and drilling machines, which were specially used by the army to repair their armaments......

At present, Tong Hai has set up a special military trade section, which is responsible for the export of high-carbon steel, high-speed steel knives, armor-piercing shells, grenades, high-explosive bombs, flares, incendiary bombs, grenades, porcelain canisters, Qiguang Type 1 submachine guns, refurbished grenadiers, mortars, infantry guns, mountain artillery, and equipment used in repair; Deliver explosives, earthen detonators, fuses and other consumables to the branch of the Wumu Military Arsenal. Zhao Dahu also saw the stitches and took turns to send various troops to escort supplies in place of troop training and training recruits.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Tuesday Dog is now making money every day, and at the same time, he is accumulating financial and material resources to further expand financial resources and enhance the economic strength of southern Jiangsu.

On Tuesday, when Gou took advantage of the temporary absence of major war events to develop the military economy, Liu Chenghai returned to Xishan to report on the important situation: Han Deqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, sent people to contact him to fight jointly with the Wumu Army and punish Chen Yi's troops of the New Fourth Army who were fighting across the border.

Han Deqin is known as the chairman of Jiangsu Province, but in fact only controls 6 counties in northern Jiangsu, but there are 4 or 50,000 troops of the 89th Army, the 6th Independent Brigade, the 8th Guerrilla Army in Northern Jiangsu and several security brigades. If it weren't for the iron law that the Chinese do not fight the Chinese, Liu Chenghai would have incorporated this semi-bandit force long ago.

Prior to this, Han Deqin's troops had a lot of friction with the New Fourth Army and the Wu Mu Army, and this time the Wu Mu Army was drawn to deal with the New Fourth Army, which made Liu Chenghai very annoyed.

Tuesday Gou, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, Zeng Qi and others discussed it, believing that this kind of infighting between Chinese is very despicable, and Wu Mujun will not participate, and at the same time control the export of weapons to Han Deqin's troops and the New Fourth Army.

As a result, Han Deqin brought humiliation on himself, and more than 30,000 people were defeated by more than 10,000 people of the New Fourth Army, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

The Battle of Huangqiao angered the chairman of the committee, so while informing all units of the criticism of the GCD-led Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army's mistakes in disrespecting orders, fighting across the border, and expanding its organization without authorization, he issued an order ordering the New Fourth Army south of the Yangtze River and the Eighth Route Army north of the Yangtze River to move north to the north of the Yellow River to garrison and fight.

Tuesday Gou and others are now well aware of the inexplicable grievances and grievances between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and they themselves are also "disrespecting orders, fighting across the border, and expanding without authorization", so they agreed on the principle of not helping each other: to provide a channel for the northward troops of the New Fourth Army passing through the Wumu Military Defense Zone, and to ignore the ** transfer of troops, and to sweep the snow in front of the door.

Wang Yilang urgently reported that ** and the New Fourth Army had exchanged fire in the area of Jing County in southern Anhui, less than 200 miles away from his own Suzhou-Anhui defense area, and the New Fourth Army troops around his own defense area also made some moves, asking for instructions on how to deal with it.

On Tuesday, the dog telegraphed Wang Yilang: Do not participate in any disputes, all units in the defense area are on guard, personnel are not allowed to move around at will, and not a single soldier of the Wu Mu Army is allowed to participate in the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; In particular, the instructors of the New Fourth Army, who were closely monitored in the troops, were allowed to leave the Wumu Army on their own without weapons, or to remain in the Wumu Army without any action.

Wang Yilang reported that most of the instructors of the New Fourth Army in the Wu Mu Army had left the Wu Mu Army.

In the next few days, on Tuesday, Gou and others paid close attention to the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in southern Anhui: the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was surrounded, and after several days and nights of fierce fighting, Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army, negotiated with Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang and was detained......

Tuesday Gou, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, Zeng Qi and others couldn't help but sigh when they saw the desperate struggle between the Chinese consuming China's national defense strength.

Then, Gu Zhutong sent a telegram to Tuesday Dog: Hundreds of remnants of the New Fourth Army of the rebellion fled into the jurisdiction of your department, and I hope to report and hand over to the headquarters of the commander of the third theater after taking control.

On Tuesday, Wang Yilang reported after investigation: After investigation, it was confirmed that hundreds of troops of the New Fourth Army crossed the river and headed north through our defense area in six batches, but they were not intercepted because they did not receive notice at that time!

Wang Yilang called to report: Shangguan Yunxiang's 32nd Group Army 1st surrounded a garrison company in the Dangtu Gold Mine and demanded the surrender of the remnants of the New Fourth Army.

On Tuesday, the dog reported that Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, Zeng Qi, Xiang Qingyun, He Laifu and others were urgently summoned to discuss countermeasures: the troops sent by the Wumu Army to exchange quickly and urgently assemble troops to prepare for contingencies, especially the Wan Zixiong Department of the Third War Zone of Midian to make contingency preparations; On Tuesday, Gou sent a telegram to the Commander's Department of the Third Theater for questioning: The 1st Division of the 32nd Group Army of the 3rd Theater surrounded the logistics and supply base of our department, and said that it was chasing and suppressing the remnants of the rebellious New Fourth Army; When the Tu logistics supply base is an important support area of our department, we must not miss it slightly, and I hope that the commander's department will inform the department to act cautiously; In addition, our unit is an independent combat unit, and friendly forces should be notified in advance of their actions in our jurisdiction.

The Commander's Department of the Third Theater sent a telegram back: Check that your Jiangwan Brigade in southern Anhui is suspected of harboring rebels, and send the first section of the 32nd Group Army to investigate it and correct military law.

On Tuesday, the dog immediately telegraphed Wan Zixiong's troops to take corresponding action, and a battalion of more than 500 people disappeared without a trace under the close surveillance of **, and infiltrated in the direction of the headquarters of the 32nd Army.

At the same time, the garrison battalion of the gold mine quickly blocked the road by flooding, mines, etc., and the troops entered the position and waited for it.

After the deployment was completed, on Tuesday the dog sent a direct telegram to Gu Zhutong: Regarding the matter of harboring the remnants of the rebels, our unit should strictly investigate and ask the 32nd Group Army to immediately withdraw from our defense area, otherwise our unit will be cleared and exterminated, and report to the Military Commission with "fighting across the border, attacking friendly forces, and sabotaging the War of Resistance."

Gu Zhutong was furious when he received the strongly worded telegram from the dog on Tuesday, but the information summarized below calmed him down: Wan Zixiong's troops were strong, but the three divisions monitored around him retreated to the defensive; Wei Wenyang's three battalions advanced more than 100 miles to the west and threatened Huangshan; The troops of Wu Mujun Dangtu, Gaochun, and Lishui moved to the perimeter of the gold mine and carried out counter-encirclement against the ** troops......

Gu Zhutong sent a telegram back to Tuesday: The staff officer of the former commander's department had misunderstood, and it should be "The first section of the 32nd Group Army is specially sent to conduct an inventory of the remnants of the rebel army of the New Fourth Army through the defense area of the Jiangwan Brigade in southern Anhui of your department, and to correct military law." ”

On Tuesday, the dog laughed at this little trick and continued to call back: The area surrounded by the first part of the 32nd Group Army is our logistics supply base, and it has nothing to do with the rebels of the New Fourth Army.

In fact, both sides of this friction have their own motives.

Wang Yilang did take in a group of officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Army, first, out of sympathy for the instructors of the New Fourth Army who had left and brought back a large number of remnants of the New Fourth Army, and second, Chen Yi, Zhang Yunyi, Tan Zhenlin, Xu Haidong and others, who had fought side by side and had a close past, all sent telegrams asking for help, and they could not erase their favors; The most important thing is that Wang Yilang saw that the government's practice of eradicating dissidents on the grounds of "disrespecting orders, fighting across the border, and expanding the organization without authorization" could not help but be cold, and he felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. In fact, not only Wang Yilang is like this, but also Tuesday Dog and others, and so are many miscellaneous troops, and even strengthen their vigilance to prevent them from being forcibly annexed and incorporated by the ** descendant troops. However, the remnants of the New Fourth Army were indeed not in the gold mine of Dangtu, but in the areas of Gaochun and Langxi, and were incorporated into two garrison brigades by Wang Yilang.

So why did the 32nd Army encircle the Dangtu gold mine? It's all gold's fault! Shangguan Yunxiang, commander-in-chief of the 32nd Group Army and chief of staff of the Third Theater, took a fancy to the Dangtu gold mine, which produced nearly 100 taels a month, and planned to take it for himself, so he surrounded the Dangtu gold mine under the pretext of chasing down the remnants of the New Fourth Army. Unexpectedly, a small garrison company dared to confront two regiments, and it was impeccable in defense, resulting in a stalemate.

Wang Yilang went to the 32nd Group Army to negotiate, but the commanders avoided it, so he returned to the Dangtu Gold Mine with a belly of fire and directly met the two regiment commanders on the first line.

Wang Yilang saw the two regiment commanders and couldn't help but say that it was an old fist, which made the two regiment commanders spurt blood from their mouths and noses, and the two regiment commanders also fought back without ambiguity, and the soldiers on both sides also joined in, ** The soldiers picked up the butt of the gun and smashed it, Wang Yilang only brought two guards and was outnumbered, so he raised a grenade to shock the ** soldiers, and was pulled away by the ** officers who came in later.

In the end, three officers with blue noses and swollen faces sat at the wine table and waited for the reply from the commander's department, and the three of them were so drunk that they looked forward to the recovery of the commander's headquarters: the 32nd Army withdrew to its original defense area.

Shangguan Yunxiang's thought saved hundreds of officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Army, some of them were escorted to Jiangbei by the Wumu Army and returned to the New Fourth Army system, and some stayed in the Wumu Army and were absorbed.

The all-pervasive military commander reported the friction between the Third Theater and the Wu Mu Army to Dai Li's office, and it was soon placed on the chairman's desk. The chairman of the NPC committee also received information from all quarters, because the incident in southern Anhui had already put everyone in danger in the non-descendant troops, and this Shangguan Yunxiang had provoked Wu Mujun with extraneous branches, so he was very annoyed, but it was inconvenient to deal with Shangguan Yunxiang, who had just finished purging the "rebellion" of the New Fourth Army, lest the action of purging the New Fourth Army become undignified, and at the same time, he also kept an account for Wu Mujun, who was secretly hiding the New Fourth Army. In anger, he still called Shangguan Yunxiang and scolded him for being bloody, and asked Shangguan Yunxiang to come forward to save the influence.
