Meng Qingshan thought about the problem with a sad face as he marched.

"Commander, what are you thinking about, why don't you tell me, I can share your worries!" Li Yanping said.

Meng Qingshan raised his head and saw that Li Yanping, who was managing the people in the back, came back, and said to Li Yanping with a smile: "Lao Li, you are back, it just so happens that I have something to ask you, what do you say we need to set up an arsenal?" ”

"Commander, what did you just say, say it again!" Political Commissar Li Yanping asked in disbelief. Because since Li Yanping became a member of the Anti-Japanese Federation, he has hardly seen an arsenal, but he has only heard of an arsenal in Shenyang and has not seen it, but he visited an arsenal in the Soviet Union when he was studying in the Soviet Union. It can only carry out simple reloading bullets, not even guns, can only repair weapons and the like, not even a grenade, and now there are more than 20,000 people in the Anti-Japanese Federation, and they should also have their own arsenal, but where to find scientific and technological personnel. ”

"But, Commander, I also know that we should build an arsenal, but the arsenal needs a lot of raw materials, equipment, and skilled workers...... And we have nothing..."

Li Yanping looked at Meng Qingshan with a helpless expression.

"Lao Li. I know that now we have nothing, but we must build an arsenal, no matter how difficult it may be! Meng Qingshan said resolutely.

"We can now capture the ammunition of the Japanese army to supplement the needs of the troops, but this is enough when the number is small, once our team is expanded, the weapons and ammunition used are insufficient, and the Japanese army cannot set off in small groups every time, thinking that when the devils in the customs are specially dealing with the anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy led by our party, due to the strict blockade of the devils, food, ammunition, it can be said that there is nothing, at that time, the Eighth Route Army in the customs in addition to hiding from the devils, or dodging, there are no bullets, relying on bayonets, It is not the opponent of the devil at all, not to mention the rear of the little devil here in the Kannai, if there is no large amount of ammunition supply, it is difficult for the Anti-Union to engage the powerful Japanese army. ”

"Establish anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, strengthen our troops, weapons. We can rely on capture, but what about ammunition? We can't have such good luck every time, ambushing the devil's ammunition convoy or sneaking up on the Japanese army's arsenal, so to speak, our ammunition is one shot, and one is missing. If one day we run out of ammunition, will we let the soldiers fight desperately with bayonets and devils. You also know the devil's bayonet technique, and besides, we can't afford to fight for such consumption, we are already sparsely staffed, and if we sacrifice one, we will lose one. ”

"I don't know if Minggui and they ambushed the devil."

"Commander, don't worry! This Wang Minggui is the first double first in the first session of our Anti-Union Military and Political School, you can rest assured! ”

"By the way, Lao Li, do we have more food?"

"Commander, I asked Comrade Sun Feng, head of the logistics department, just now, we only have less than five days of rations left, and this is still the supply we obtained from fighting the Japanese pioneer regiment along the road, otherwise we would have run out of food a long time ago."

In fact, weapons and ammunition are not the first important for the Anti-United Nations, the most harmful thing for the Anti-United Nations is hunger and cold, due to the blockade of the Japanese army and the group tribal plan so that the people and the Anti-United Nations can not be contacted, the Anti-United Nations can not be supplied, often hungry to fight, the temperature here in winter is below 40 degrees, the anti-United Nations fighters wear thin single clothes trembling and dare not light a fire to keep warm, afraid of being discovered by the Japanese army, Meng Qingshan remembers seeing a few small stories in later generations, one is that the anti-United Nations fighters were held with a shotgun and finally bitten to death by a tiger, There were still bullets in his gun, and there were more than 300 rounds of ammunition in the backpack, not because he wanted to shoot but because he was hungry and couldn't move, and some anti-United Nations fighters died under the guns of the Japanese army in winter without cotton clothes, and it was a pity that they were frozen to death in the mountains.

"Commander, we also need to solve the food problem, otherwise when we arrive at the headquarters of the second detachment, there will suddenly be thousands of mouths at once, and who will be able to drag us down alive." Li Yanping said.

"This is the first battle plan for us to arrive at the base area, and accumulate grain." Meng Qingshan said with a smile.

"Accumulate grain?"

"That's right, that's the Grain Plan."

"Political commissar, my purpose is to accumulate grain, take advantage of such a good opportunity now, when the devils can't take care of us, reserve a large amount of grain, and strive to reserve the whole detachment that can be used for the previous year's food, and change it once a year, so that no matter if we encounter a catastrophe in the future, or the blockade of the devils, at least we won't be hungry, and we can even support friendly troops. I believe that as long as they do not go hungry, our fighters will not be afraid of devils. Meng Qingshan said excitedly, and Li Yanping nodded again and again.

"But the food of the commander's little devils is concentrated in the county seat or important cities, if we want to get it, we must attack these important cities, we rely on our people, even if we win, it is difficult to save the food, and once we attack the county town and other cities, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese army, and we may be completely annihilated at that time." Li Yanping said worriedly.

"Political commissar, you only thought of the city of the little devils, what you didn't expect was the pioneer group of the little devils."

"How can the pioneer regiment of the commander little devil have food, and almost all the pioneer regiments in Tangyuan and other places have been attacked by Wen Nian's team."

"Lao Li, you have been busy with you these days, it is September and it is the autumn harvest season, the little devil's pioneer group will definitely get a large amount of grain, and then they will hand over the grain to the grain station, we just need to ambush these grain trucks on the road."

"The commander really has you, and the one who is worthy of the proper commander is stronger than me, and I firmly agree with this suggestion." Li Yanping was moved.

"This is called the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Meng Qingshan said jokingly.

"Commander, the problem of food has been solved, but the problem of the arsenal ......"

"Little Huzi, map." It is from the topographic map of Manchukuo in the office of the Japanese army, and the map drawn by this little devil is better and more accurate than what we draw.

Soon a map of Sanjiang Province was placed in front of the two, Meng Qingshan looked at the map and began to look for it, while Li Yanping looked at his partner for some reason.

"Found it, here, political commissar, you see there is a Hegang coal mine near Luobei County, you see, it's here." Meng Qingshan's hand pointed to a place.

"Hegang Coal Mine." Li Yanping read silently.

"Yes, it's Hegang Coal Mine, Lao Li, think about it, if the coal mine wants to mine coal, it must have equipment, and if there is equipment, there must be skilled workers, I think as long as there are those skilled workers there, and all the equipment is transported back to our base area, they will definitely be able to assemble machine tools, and maybe they will be able to produce bullets." As for the raw materials, there are not many things in our northeast, there are many railways for little devils, how can there be no raw materials, you must know that those rails are the best steel! ”

"Yes, why didn't I think that this is the case, Commander, this is really a good idea, whether it will succeed or not, if we lay down the coal mine controlled by the devils, not only can we blow up the coal mines, but also liberate a lot of coal miners, you must know that those coal miners are the best soldiers, on the one hand, we can get soldiers and technicians, and on the other hand, we can protect our country's property from the little devils." Li Yanping listened to Meng Qingshan's explanation and said happily.

In this way, after another hour of discussion between the two, two documents with "Arsenal Plan and September Plan" were put away by Li Yanping, and the Arsenal Plan was officially mentioned on the agenda of the second detachment.
