Compared with the life of fighting abroad, the life of returning to the rear is undoubtedly much more comfortable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is just as the commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, plus the general head of Yulin and Suiyuan, He Zhengdao still seems very busy.

Towards the end of the year, the common people are busy preparing for the New Year. After a year of hard work, they only have a good rest and relaxation in the New Year. Although the people here are used to cat winters, there are still things to do in winter.

Many women who have nothing to do at home also go to the village chief or militia captain to take some work. If you sew clothes or buy a shoe sole or something, you can earn two pocket money to supplement your family.

The expansion of the army means that a lot of supplies will be increased. Similar to this kind of soles and cloth shoes, He Zhengdao would ask the quartermaster department to send them to the villages, let those people help make them, and of course pay some wages.

As for the men and young men in the villages, they are still not idle in the winter. The militia team of the village will also take advantage of this rare leisure time to conduct some military training for the young people in the village.

On the other hand, as a commander, He Zhengdao needs to visit the troops and the arsenal to send New Year's greetings to the officers and soldiers of the unit and the workers of the factory. For these people, there is also not much time to rest in the New Year.

With the opportunity of the Eighth Route Army to recover most of Shanxi and Henan, some of the minerals urgently needed by the Eighth Route Army have also been increased. The scale of the steel plant has also been improved, and various military supplies have been sent to the arsenal one after another.

Except for the four days from the evening of the 30th night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the new year, the workers of the arsenal also rarely had a break and went to the market next to the arsenal to purchase some materials, and the rest of the time they had to work overtime in the factory.

The previous two wars basically consumed some of the ammunition that the arsenal had stockpiled earlier. At present, the troops stationed on the front line are also in urgent need of stockpiling ammunition for war. If you don't work overtime to produce, it will also delay the war on the front line.

Considering the particularity of the arsenal, He Zhengdao still ordered the troops stationed in the arsenal to strengthen vigilance and inventory during the New Year's period. Even though there is a bazaar near the arsenal, the people who come here to do business are strictly scrutinized.

Of course, a large part of the goods that can be sent here for sale are the caravans of the military reclamation farms. After all, as the scale of the arsenal continued to expand, a large number of workers and their families who came to work here also brought with them.

On a special day like the New Year, these workers, who can also receive wages on weekdays, will naturally purchase some supplies. The wages of the workers are paid by the army, and if they want to be recovered, they will naturally be recovered by the army.

Even the families of some workers still want to go to Yulin or further afield. But for them, being in such a secret base, any travel is strictly controlled, and they are naturally not allowed to go out at will.

It is this kind of strict travel regulations and inventory system that has made the arsenal not known to too many people so far. Even if the little devil has had several aerial reconnaissances, he can't find the real place where the arsenal is located.

Although some of the regulations seem somewhat impersonal, in such a special era and time, He Zhengdao cannot take risks. After all, the Yulin Arsenal is really too important for the entire Eighth Route Army.

Compared with the underground arsenal earlier, there are now some factories near the arsenal that have been relocated one after another. In order to distinguish the division of labor, the arsenal now has a number of branches to start producing weapons and ammunition.

Riding to a place built in a valley, looking at the guards who set up a card to intercept them, and Zheng Shaoyu, who accompanied He Zhengdao to inspect together, he also felt a little excited in his heart. In this valley, there is what he is most looking forward to.

After checking the documents, the guards also quickly removed the fence to intercept them, saluted and entered the valley with He Zhengdao and his party. As the car drove on the winding mountain road for a while, an open area soon appeared in front of He Zhengdao and his party.

Looking at these houses built on the mountain, Zheng Shaoyu, who came here for the first time, was also surprised: "Commander, I really didn't expect that there is a cave in this mountain!" If you don't walk in, no one knows that there is such a treasure in this mountain! ”

Facing Zheng Shaoyu's exclamation, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "That's nature!" In order to find a suitable place to build a factory, our geologists and troops traveled a lot of places before finally choosing to build a factory here.

Although it looks like a dense jungle all around, there is an open area in the center. Most of our factories are built on the mountain, and even some of the factories are built in the semi-excavated mountain.

As for the open area in the middle, it is the runway area where future aircraft will take off. As long as you pay attention to the air defense of the periphery, I believe that it will not be easy for the little devils to find here, and there are also troops stationed on the periphery. ”

Around the perimeter of the arsenal, He Zhengdao stationed a large number of troops. In addition, many military farms and some relocated military families also live in the surrounding area. Without walking in, it is rare to know the peculiarities of this place.

And in these places, for any unfamiliar face, it will be discovered by the guard forces and the people involved in the joint defense. If you want to get in from the ground, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing.

It is this kind of strict arrangement that allows the arsenal to remain unknown to the outside world. In He Zhengdao's vision, Huangya Cave and the arsenal to be built in Dabie Mountain are also the existence of diverting the attention of the outside world.

As for the arsenal that is now opened in Yulin City, it is also known to many intelligence departments. But the arsenal in Yulin, in addition to being able to simply reload bullets and repair, can't do other things that are too high-tech.

But in fact, today's Yulin arsenal now has many functions such as design, research and development, and production. The increase in a large number of machinery and equipment has allowed the arsenal to start on the right track, providing sufficient ammunition and material support for the Eighth Route Army.

It is only the expansion of the arsenal that realizes that the underground factory built earlier is no longer enough. In this case, it is inevitable that some factories will be moved out of the underground factories.

The arsenal built deep in the mountains in front of me is the relocated aircraft factory and engine factory. A number of aero engines purchased from the Soviet Union are now used to design and finalize the first aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.

But in He Zhengdao's view, the engine is related to the core of the heavy weapons of the Eighth Route Army in the future. If all of them are imported from abroad, it will undoubtedly cause the Eighth Route Army to be subject to many restrictions. For this reason, the study of domestic engines is also an inevitable way.

At present, the design and development capabilities of the arsenal are limited, and He Zhengdao still lets these engineers imitate them. In terms of the ability to imitate, He Zhengdao still believes in the strength of Chinese scientific researchers.

Of the 200 engines purchased from the Soviet Union this time, He Zhengdao listed them as engines for the first batch of fighters. At least in Ho's view, the performance of engines in the Soviet Union today is not very good.

Most importantly, as foreign jet engines began to replace existing ones, the air combat of the future was the world of jets. This means that the planes now developed by the Eighth Route Army are also used more for transitional purposes.

If a domestically produced aero engine can be successfully developed in the shortest possible time, He Zhengdao will immediately start the development of new fighters and bombers. Only in this way can the Huaxia aircraft truly protect the airspace of China.

Although the Soviet side was somewhat reluctant to purchase aircraft engines from the Eighth Route Army. In their opinion, it is better to buy an engine than to buy their aircraft. But those planes, in He Zhengdao's view, are simply obsolete products.

The Second World War was a time when all kinds of weapons were introduced. And all kinds of aircraft continue to appear in the airspace of various countries. The speed of replacement of new aircraft is equally high and scary.

The price of buying an airplane is completely enough to buy three to five aero engines. For the Eighth Route Army, which does not have much capital and cannot borrow too many loans, it is undoubtedly more economical to buy an aero engine and develop an aircraft independently!

As the convoy stopped smoothly in the parking lot, the person in charge of the arsenal, who had already received the news, also quickly walked to the parking lot, shook hands with He Zhengdao cordially, and began to report their recent achievements.

In the face of these scientific research workers who are engaged in research and development in the mountains, He Zhengdao also said very sincerely: "Comrades, hard work! On the occasion of the approaching New Year, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, I would like to extend holiday greetings to you.

I know it's hard to stay in this ravine every day, but I believe that as long as we work hard, we can develop an airplane and engine that can protect the airspace. Then in the future, our factories, including all of us, will be free to live in our own airspace.

During this time, because I have been outside commanding the troops, I really can't spare time to comfort everyone. Taking advantage of the upcoming New Year, I also came to see everyone. If there is anything I can do, comrades, please mention it! ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, the person in charge of the factory who came to welcome him also smiled and said, "Commander, we have really been looking forward to your coming!" Some time ago, we have successfully developed the first aircraft.

Although the test flight results are not very ideal, we have identified quite a few problems. At present, the experimental machine is also continuing to be debugged. I believe that it should not take too long before the successful test flight of our aircraft! ”

'That's good! For the results of your work, the chairman and Mr. Zhu are very satisfied. When the experimental aircraft is successfully developed, I will invite them to participate in the test flight ceremony. So, you have to work harder! ’

As a branch of the arsenal that focuses on the development of the arsenal, the headquarters undoubtedly invests a lot of money in the aircraft factory. In addition to recruiting a group of experienced aircraft R&D personnel from overseas, people who had previously participated in aircraft development in Northeast China were also invited.

For the Eighth Route Army, which is currently not rich in funds, it is indeed very difficult to squeeze out so much investment in such research and development. It is precisely because of this that all R&D personnel hope to develop the aircraft needed by the troops as soon as possible.

One day in the future, the aircraft they developed and produced will really be able to fly in the sky and guard the sky. Then each of them will feel very proud and honored. After all, this is the greatest success and satisfaction of scientific researchers! (To be continued.) )
