As soldiers, guns are their second life. Even as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng still love guns. At present, this self-designed and finalized submachine gun makes the two love it even more.

Looking at the two bosses who did the school gun themselves, He Zhengdao, who was standing next to him, could also see that the two bosses loved this submachine gun. This also means that this submachine gun copied in advance is really good!

Mao Taizu, who was also standing at the shooting range, said with a satisfied expression on his face: "Righteous way, has this submachine gun been named?" ”

'Not yet, Chairman!' After it was produced, it was tested and fine-tuned. What was brought over this time was also the first batch of 800 submachine guns produced by the arsenal. I think the guard division can be installed in a batch.

In addition, we can also divide a little bit at our headquarters. This gun is portable, making it ideal for use as a guard gun. As long as the bullets can be supplied, this submachine gun is a very good gun whether it is breaking through or attacking.

This time, I brought a gun here, firstly, I also wanted to report the good news to the central government and the headquarters, and secondly, I naturally hoped that the heads of the headquarters would give this gun a name. After all, this is the first gun produced by our arsenal, which is of great significance! ’

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, the two CEOs who used up a magazine and Chen Geng all seemed very satisfied. Hearing that this submachine gun had not yet been named, Mr. Zhu immediately smiled and said, "Lao Mao, why don't you help pick a name?" ”

In the face of everyone naming themselves, Mao Taizu did not shirk and said with a smile: "Since this is the first submachine gun that can be installed in large quantities after our Eighth Route Army participated in the Anti-Japanese War, how about naming it in Chinese style?"

Let's not learn from Lao Jiang, copy a rifle and officially name it in China. Let's be a little more atmospheric and directly take the Chinese style as the name. And this gun was produced under the organization of an independent column, and we are currently working for the liberation of independence.

Then this submachine gun. Let's call it the Chinese Independent 37 submachine gun, how? Although the name is a bit long, I think the meaning is still good. In the future, there will be more finalized guns, all of which will be named after the Chinese style, what do you think? ”

The Chinese independent 37 submachine gun does sound like a bit long. But for Ho Zhengdao. He knew the name of this submachine gun, and his independent column was also stained with a lot of light.

In the future, when this submachine gun becomes famous on the battlefield, I believe that future generations will also know that this submachine gun was designed and mass-produced in his hands. Mao Taizu's intention can be regarded as a chance to go down in history!

On the other hand, the people next to him smiled and said, "Not bad! Named after China, it is also considered atmospheric. Xiao He, I hope you will spend more time in the arsenal in the future. I also hope that in the future, our Eighth Route Army will be equipped with its own standard rifles. ”

Facing Mr. Zhu's expectations, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief." If only our predatory plan succeeds. I dare to make a military statement, and this time next year, I will guarantee to develop a world-leading rifle. ”

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Zhu's eyes lit up and said, "It seems that this time, we can't agree with your plan if we want to!" However, let's discuss this matter in detail later, this kind of thing will affect the whole body! ”

'Yes! ’

After shooting the target, it was already early to see that it was not early, and Chen Geng, who was the commander of the guard division, said with a smile: "Chairman." Commander-in-Chief, old chiefs. It's rare to have a chance today, why don't you try the cooking skills of our guard division's cooking class? ”

For such an invitation, Mao Taizu smiled and said, "Boss, what do you say?" ”

'When you come to someone's territory, you can't brush the master's heart! Okay, we'll dine at the guard division tonight. But. The food doesn't have to be too rich, and the impact is not good. Do you understand? ’

'Please rest assured, commander-in-chief, I personally pay for more vegetables. Wait a minute, I hope the commander-in-chief can give us a few more guns for the guard division! ’

One word. Mr. Peng, who said it, immediately pretended to be angry and said: "Dare to love this meal money and ask us to exchange it for a gun!" Commander-in-chief, this seems to be a Hongmen feast, right? Otherwise, let's wait and drink some boiled water, the food of this guard division is too expensive. ”

Chen Geng, who was ridiculed, also didn't feel embarrassed, for him as the commander of the guard division, he was able to serve as the commander of this major general division who also had a formal establishment, and he also knew that it was the trust and attention of the head of the headquarters to him.

The most important thing is that He Zhengdao, who arrived at the guard division today, should be regarded as the first commander of the guard division. When he was transferred to the guard division, he still felt a little embarrassed, and he always felt that he had picked the peaches that He Zhengdao had worked so hard to plant!

This time, He Zhengdao rarely came again, and Chen Geng also felt that he should invite the other party to a meal. What's more, if the future guard division wants to install more good equipment, I am afraid that it is indispensable to have a good relationship with He Zhengdao!

It didn't take long for the guard division to set up a table of authentic northern Shaanxi cuisine, and it was rare to welcome the presence of so many headquarters leaders. Before the meal, Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu and others did not forget to go to the restaurant to talk to the officers and soldiers.

In the face of the arrival of this group of leaders, the officers and men of the guard division were very happy. As the troops stationed in the Gongwei Central Committee, although they often had the opportunity to meet the leaders of these Central Authorities, it was difficult for them to see Mr. Zhu and others.

For He Zhengdao, who came out with Mao Taizu, many veterans and officers of the guard division saluted excitedly: "Teacher! ”

Hearing such a title, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "This title sounds, how do I feel like I'm very old!" ”

In this way, everyone also found it funny. In terms of age, He Zhengdao is undoubtedly the youngest of the ten main division commanders. In terms of the troops under his control, He Zhengdao also has the most of the ten main divisions.

Speaking of military rank alone, after the last Lao Jiang's killing, He Zhengdao is now also a lieutenant general. If he weren't too young, just by virtue of his exploits in the total annihilation of the 26th Division in Suiyuan, it would be enough to be promoted to a first-class general by changing the generals of other national * armies.

But even so, He Zhengdao was also very polite to the main division commanders of the other Eighth Route Army. When they are called in private, most of them call each other 'old chiefs', so that these division commanders can't have a dislike for them.

Back to the division headquarters command post of the guard division, it is actually a relatively better residential house. Looking at Yuan Yubo, the chief of staff of the guard division who served as a reception, he naturally gave a lot of affirmation to this old subordinate He Zhengdao.

And Chen Geng also smiled and said: "Brother, come to eat, don't dig the corner!" He's my chief of staff now! ”

In the face of Chen Geng's joke, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Look at what my brother said, if there is a guest at home, he will say this!" Anyway, Yu Bo is also the daughter-in-law of our independent column, so my mother's family is not allowed to care about a few words! ”

Compared with the previous speech, you need to pay more attention, and now when you are eating, He Zhengdao and Chen Geng talk a lot more casually. For the two of them teasing each other, all the headquarters leaders sitting at the table thought it was funny.

On the contrary, Mao Taizu said at the right time: "Okay, if you don't come again, we can eat!" Xiao Yuan, come and sit together! Anyway, this position is spacious enough, and your division commander has a lot of dishes, so let's wipe it out together! ”

With the current construction of the base area is good, similar to the local chickens and fish that appeared on the dining table, Mao Taizu and others did not say much. After all, this kind of meat is indeed not a rare thing in the current Yan'an City.

After everyone sat down, Mao Taizu said with a little concern: "Righteousness, it's rare that we have time to get together for a meal today, at the dinner table, you can briefly say that the arsenal needs the help of the central government and the headquarters at present, right?"

Although I have always emphasized that if you encounter any problems in production, you must try to find a way to solve them yourself. However, when it comes to the future construction and growth of our army, this matter is very important. Working together may make the work better. ”

Listening to Mao Taizu's words, Vice Chairman Zhou also nodded and said, "Yes!" If it weren't for our current lack of funds, we would not have planned to use the money you captured in the Battle of Suiyuan this time. But we can't help it, we're really short of money now!

Although the Soviet Union has helped us with a lot of things and supplies. But most of these things and materials were intercepted by Lao Jiang's side. Therefore, if we want to develop, we have to rely on ourselves.

Your independent column has done a very good job in this matter, and the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters know about it. I even heard Political Commissar Xiao say that when you return to Yulin, you will soak with those experts sooner or later, it should be just to get this gun, right? ”

Facing the words of the two old leaders, He Zhengdao said with a helpless expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is no problem, it must be a lie. But I know to some extent that at present, the situation between the Central Committee and the Headquarters is only more difficult than that of the independent column.

You have to be in charge of such a large stall of border government and the troops below, even if you have a little surplus on hand, I believe it will be issued soon. In the words of the common people, the central government and the headquarters are also landlords, and there is no surplus grain!

In contrast, we accepted the old bottom of the original 86th Division, and the stocks were not bad. Coupled with the support and trust of the central government and the headquarters in our work, we can also work and fight with peace of mind. However, our foundation is still too poor!

After the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War and the two cities of Baotou and Guisui were emptied, our arsenal currently has a lot of machinery and equipment, and the business level of those experts is very good. Turning, milling, planing, grinding, drilling and stamping equipment, we have now built a lot.

But the biggest problem is that the production of steel is too low, and the equipment for steelmaking is too poor and too small. Even if there is a process to produce high-quality steel, there is no equipment to produce these high-quality steel. Secondly, the demand for iron ore and copper ore is somewhat insufficient.

It is precisely because I know that the current arsenal needs to solve the problem urgently, so I will always stand still, just waiting to hide behind the little devil and give him a fatal blow. If my plan can be realized, our military construction will usher in a real great development! ”

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and during this time in the arsenal, He Zhengdao really realized what this meant. It is so difficult to build a military industrial system that supports the Eighth Route Army, let alone a country's industrial system? (To be continued.) )
