Wang Ming came to the town in a rage, and inquired, this newly opened cigarette factory is actually in a place called an industrial development zone, what kind of place is this, it seems to be a bit similar to the period of the Soviet Union's First Five-Year Plan, Wang Ming feels that he and Yan'an seem to be a little out of touch, and the two guards around him, I don't know, but I know that Yan'an has more and more people recently, and the amount of training is getting bigger and bigger, and you can eat enough, it is really full, not half full before.

Wang Ming came to this so-called industrial development zone, and found that it was a large wasteland, the wasteland was fenced in several places, some hung signs, some were still placed there, and there was a machinery installation should be the so-called tobacco factory, just when Wang Ming wanted to step forward, a middle-aged man in a suit saw Wang Ming, and said with a smile, "Hello chief, are you here to inspect?" ”

Wang Ming asked quietly, "Are you the owner of this cigarette factory?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Zhu Wei, I just moved from Shanghai, there is a war in Shanghai, and the border area is safe, and I can support the anti-Japanese battlefield, so I came here, this way, thank you a lot for the care of the Red Party, I used to think that you were like a Rakshasa ghost, but now I find that you are all good people, for example, Director Luo, yo, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Director Luo is good." ”

Wang Ming looked back and saw that it was a young man in his twenties, with a clean face, wearing a patched tattered military uniform, holding a small notebook, and saw Zhu Wei. smiled and said, "Hello Boss Zhu, how is it, everything is going well, who is this?" ”

The guard next to Wang Ming said: "This is Secretary Wang Ming who has just returned from the Soviet Union. ”

Since Wang Ming's position in the Chinese Red Party had not yet been determined, he was elected as a member of the Presidium of the Executive Committee of the Red Party International and an alternate secretary of the Political Secretariat at the Seventh Congress of the Red Party International. In the history of the International Red Party movement. He is the only leader of the Chinese Red Party who can hold this position. That's why he was called a secretary.

"Wang Ming!!" This name can be said to be thunderous, and no one in the Red Party does not know this former top leader of the Red Party.

"Hello Chief!" Director Na Luo hurriedly saluted.

Wang Ming replied with a salute and asked, "Director Luo, do you know the situation of this factory?" ”

Director Na Luo immediately replied, "Looking back, this is a cigarette factory that has just moved from Shanghai to our border area, and the whole factory can accommodate 42 people. The machinery is being debugged, and it is expected to be ready for normal production in 15 days. ”

Wang Ming stared at him and said, "Then let me ask you, is the money earned by this cigarette factory from this Boss Zhu or the people?" ”

Director Na Luo said a little nervously, "This is Boss Zhu's, and it is also the people." ”

Wang Ming continued to ask, "Whoever is is whoever, the Stalin model tells us that only when all capital is concentrated can we succeed, aren't you playing the piano indiscriminately?" ”

Director Luo lowered his head and said, "The Central Committee said that now is an extraordinary period of resistance against Japan. Unite all forces. ”

These words choked Wang Ming, and he suddenly remembered what Stalin had said to him in the Soviet Union.

Wang Ming calmed down and said, "How is such a newly built factory?" ”

Director Luo nodded and said, "Now we have a brick factory, a furniture factory, a textile factory, a tobacco factory, and a flour factory. ”

Wang Ming asked, "Are they all such capitalist enterprises?" ”

Director Luo shook his head and said, "No, some are opened by the town government, some are village collectives, but some are private. ”

Wang Ming nodded, disapproving in his heart. At this time, a group of militiamen passed by, and Wang Ming saw that most of these militiamen were carrying guns, and asked suspiciously, "How many guns do we have now?" More than half of the militia have guns. ”

Director Na Luo scratched his head and said, "It should be okay." We have won a lot of battles in Shanxi and captured a lot. ”

Wang Ming nodded in understanding. Increasing the number of troops by capturing was the Red Army's forte, and he understood. However, when he thought of using backward and timid guerrilla warfare again, he couldn't help but sneer at Mao Yongzhi's command.

After Wang Ming returned to his residence, he immediately found the comrades who managed the archives and asked to see all the war records. Wang Ming fell into deep thought, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he went to sleep with peace of mind.

The next day, when Wang Ming came together, a guard came to him and said, "Hello chief, Chairman Mao asked you to go to the meeting immediately." ”

Wang Ming listened. Just happened to be with his heart, and said with a smile, "Okay, I just want to go to him." ”

In the conference room, there was smoke, Wang Ming strode with a stool and sat in the back, Chairman Mao said, "Comrade Wang Ming is here, then I will start talking." The theme of our meeting today is to continue yesterday's food problem. ”

"Wait a minute." Wang Ming stood up and said, "I want to start with a few questions. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chairman Mao to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Comrades, I have found some very serious problems in our border areas, such as capitalism is flourishing in our border areas. There are a lot of private enterprises in the border areas. ”

"This is for the anti-Japanese united front! We must unite all forces," Mao Zemin, who manages the economy, immediately stood up and replied.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Very good, this is very good, this is the demand of the Red Party International, but also the demand of Moscow, in the special period of resistance against Japan, we must put down everything and serve the overall situation of resistance against Japan, I propose, in the future, all the actions and policies of our party should be all for the sake of resisting Japan, everything through the anti-Japanese united front, and everything should be subordinated to the anti-Japanese resistance." It is absolutely forbidden to make one's own decisions and sabotage the united front, and whoever dares to undermine the united front is a sinner. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little twisted, and immediately a comrade stood up and asked, "If you say that, if Nanjing wants us to die, should we also go?" ”

"Are you questioning the supreme directives of the Red Party International? Are you questioning the demands of the Soviets? Comrade, please correct your attitude, otherwise you will make a very serious mistake. Wang Ming immediately replied.

For a while, everyone was talking, and Wang Ming continued, "Moreover, why doubt that the White Party will be unfavorable to us? We should realize that this is a new period, and there is no distinction between left, center, and right, only anti-Japanese and pro-Japanese. We should not talk about the principle of the independence of the united front, this is also the opinion of Moscow, do you have any objections? ”

Saying that, Wang Ming slowly glanced at everyone, and everywhere he looked, they all lowered their heads, and then Chairman Mao said, "Comrade Wang Ming said that there is something inappropriate." Our troops are relatively weak, and the main mode of combat is mainly guerrilla warfare, and we do not stress independence and self-determination. Who should they listen to? ”

Wang Ming's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good point, so we should realize that our operations some time ago were completely wrong, and I saw that our combat reports were all so-called guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, with 40,000 or 50,000 troops. None of them dared to fight positional warfare, which is absolutely wrong. ”

Chairman Mao closed his eyes and said, "Comrade Wang Ming means that we should go and fight a positional war with the devils." ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "It's not how we want to fight, it's that the united front asks us to fight how we should fight, and this is also the demand of the Red Party International." We should realize that the purpose of our Chinese Red Party in resisting Japan is twofold, one is to protect China's independence and territorial integrity, and more importantly, it is to prevent Japanese imperialism from launching a war against the Soviet Union. If the united front wants us to fight positional warfare, we should go for positional warfare. You shouldn't be thinking about it. For example, if Japanese imperialism wants to attack the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union needs our help, should we also fight guerrilla warfare? This is an extremely serious mistake. ”

After speaking, Wang Ming said: "I have also found traces of our party's ties with the Trotskyists. ”

This sentence immediately detonated the audience, Trotskyism, an incomparably special name, a name that represents the bloody storm.

Wang Ming looked at everyone and said, "We should recognize." The Trotskyists are active accomplices of imperialism, and whoever wants to collude with the Trotskyists will never be allowed by Comrade Stalin or by the Red International. ”

Chairman Mao's hand was slowly clenched, and Chen Duxiu came to find him some time ago. Hoping to return to the Red Party in China, he was considering agreeing in order to unite other Red forces, Chairman Mao smiled and continued, "Shouldn't we obey all the demands of the Red Party International?" ”

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Of course. ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "I have a telegram here, please Comrade Wang Ming read it." ”

Wang Ming frowned and took it, looked at it at a glance, and was immediately dumbfounded, saying that he actually wanted him to go to Nanjing to contact Jiang Intermediary and be responsible for the liaison between the Red Party and Nanjing.

Wang Ming looked at Chairman Mao and said, "Is this true? ”

Chairman Mao took a puff of his cigarette and said, "This is also the requirement of the Red Party International. ”

What Wang Ming did not expect was that Chairman Mao immediately sent a telegram to the Red Party International after he came, asking Wang Ming to be a bridge of communication between the Red Party and the White Party, Stalin's original purpose was to let China unite and drag down Japan, and Stalin felt that he had told Wang Ming in front of Wang Ming, Wang Ming's loyalty to the Red Party International had been tested, and with Wang Ming as an intermediary communication, the Chinese Red Party would definitely be able to better accomplish its own goals. I immediately called back to agree.

Wang Ming was speechless for a long time with his mouth open, and Chairman Mao said, "Since Comrade Wang Ming has no opinion, then it has been decided in this way, Comrade Wang Ming is the secretary, the Yangtze River Bureau is established, and the progress of our party's work in the south is very slow. ”

Wang Ming sat down slowly, and the things he had carefully prepared all night were like hitting cotton, and he only felt uncomfortable, but he immediately laughed, "Yan'an, you are the chairman, and I am the secretary of the Yangtze River Bureau, you can't take care of me there." It's okay, I'll make some achievements in the south for you dirt buns to see, my ink is not drunk in vain. ”

Chairman Mao watched Wang Ming fly away from Yan'an with Qin Bangxian and others' planes, and said to Xiao Wang next to him with a slight smile, "Immortals are immortals, fly over and over, we mortals, let's do something on the ground honestly." After speaking, he ignored Xiao Wang, who was still in the clouds and fog, and didn't know what it meant, walked into the room and continued his writing, and the first line on the paper was a huge four words - "On Protracted War"

On the other side, Jiang Cheng and Mr. Zhu went to an open space together, only to see a few iron plates placed on the target in the same place, Mr. Zhu looked at the recoilless cannon held by the soldier, and said, "This is the recoilless cannon, and it really looks more powerful in real life." ”

The first real combat application of recoilless guns was the Soviet-Finnish War of 1939-1940, so not many people had seen this new weapon at this time.

Thanks again to Gallagher for guiding Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng instructed the warrior again, and after a while, the warrior could be used independently, only to hear a loud bang, a yellow light flashed from behind the cannon, and a puff of white smoke floated up. The target on the other side had been blown apart.

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "THIS IS A 57MM RECOILLESS GUN, WITH AN ARMOR-PIERCING ABILITY OF 70 MM, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THE JAPANESE TANK." ”

Mr. Zhu nodded, walked to the anti-aircraft machine gun again, groped for a while and began to shoot at the target, only to hear a sound of "all pass", and saw that the target on the opposite side was punched out one by one, Mr. Zhu sighed, "Okay, when can we also make such a weapon." ”

Jiang Cheng put down the hand covering his ears and said, "It's almost over." After the Battle of Taiyuan, our industrial capacity will definitely be greatly improved, and slowly we will be able to have everything, after all, we have done it before. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded in agreement, "That's right, we can definitely do better now, but there are too many good things in Taiyuan City, and we can't move too much." It's a shame. It seems that in the end, it will have to blow things up. ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but remember when he heard it, these were all family inheritances that Yan Xishan had worked so hard to accumulate. It is the blood and sweat of the Chinese, and it is a pity to give it to the Japanese or blow it up, what is the way to transport more things.

Jiang Cheng accompanied Mr. Zhu to test the weapon and returned to modern Shanghai after a long absence, at this time he had been away from home for almost a month, Jiang Cheng returned home in the afternoon, Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa and combed it. The evacuation work in Nanjing, whether it is the Red Party or the White Party, is going on, and the most critical Taiyuan Battle is about to be reached on the Shanxi side, and whether Yan'an can meet a development climax depends on how the fight is this time, according to history, Yan Xishan will retreat all the way to the south. It was not until Linfen that it stopped, and the Red Party's transport team could only go west, taking Luliang to Wubao, the total length of this road was more than 500 miles, and it only took more than three hours on the modern highway, but in the time and space of 1937, the way of picking horses and camels with people, the main personnel were ordinary people, maybe it would take ten days, it was too long, and the night was long and dreamy.

Jiang Cheng thought about it and felt that it was too slow and too dangerous, so he was ready to do his best to increase the speed of the team, Jiang Cheng immediately drove to the company, at this time the company had just gotten off work, and saw one by one employees saying hello to themselves, Jiang Cheng nodded and walked into the company quickly, Yu Na saw Jiang Cheng and stood up happily, Jiang Cheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Nana, turn around and tell you, you wait for me, I will go to Sun Ning to say something." ”

Sun Ning saw Jiang Cheng, his heart was 10,000 grass and mud horses running over, after Jiang Cheng asked her for architectural drawings last time, Sun Ning firmly believed that Jiang Cheng wanted to do something in this building, first checked it several times from the inside out, and then monitored it all night long, waiting for Jiang Cheng's self-throwing net, but it was almost a month, Jiang Cheng didn't do anything, and he couldn't even find anyone, so he had to make Sun Ning wonder if he was deceived by this cunning guy again.

Jiang Cheng was used to Sun Ning, who was unhappy every day, and he also knew that his boss was really a little incompetent, and when he saw Sun Ning, he hurriedly said, "There is a new order again." ”

Sun Ning opened the notebook and said, "What is it this time, didn't I say, Boss Jiang, how long has it been here, why hasn't that big customer paid a penny?" ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Soon, it's fast, I've been a little busy lately, and I'll pay soon, this time we're going to have a rubber-tyred cart." ”

Sun Ning nodded and said, "What type of truck?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his hand and said, "It's not a truck, it's a big car, it's the kind of car pulled by people or livestock in the countryside." ”

Sun Ning snapped and turned off the notebook, and said with a wide range of eyes, "Boss, I won't talk about where I bought that car for large-scale purchases in this era, the profit of this is too low, how much do they pay?" ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the ceiling with his eyes and said, "Anyway, the profit is very high, you can arrange it." ”

Sun Ning reluctantly opened the notebook again and said, "Anyway, I'm used to it, by the way, I've piled up a lot of goods this month, when will someone pull the goods?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Let's have a thousand cars, disassemble them all and put them in containers, and prepare more tires." ”

Sun Ning said with a disgusted face, "It's only a thousand, this price is not high, and the profit can't go anywhere, I know, I will arrange it as soon as possible." ”

Many people in later generations know that the training of troops in China and Japan, there is a big gap in weapons and equipment, but there is a huge gap that few people pay attention to, that is, the logistics power, the Japanese army at that time was mostly rubber shoes, and the national army was mostly straw shoes or cloth shoes, but unlike ordinary people, although the Eighth Route Army was completely backward in food, clothing, and equipment, but only in shoes and socks the Eighth Route Army was a complete victory, at that time most of the Red Party troops ensured that each soldier had sufficient shoes and socks - 7 pairs of cloth shoes a year, 1 pair of rubber shoes, in the wartime rapid march will also mobilize migrant workers to set up supply points along the march, change cloth shoes for soldiers, with these will have the story of our Red Party army iron feet to defeat car tires, just from the shoes, the entire Chinese battlefield, the most rustic is the national army in Nanjing.

Although the Chinese and Japanese armies mainly use horse-drawn carriages to pull logistics, the main Chinese forces are Sichuan-Yunnan horses and Mongolian horses, and the pulling force is generally 40 kg and 45 kg, while the Japanese main force is the Ruomandy horse, and the pulling force is about 60 kg. In this way, China's logistics will naturally suffer.

Most of the Chinese troops, especially the Eighth Route Army, are civilian wooden cars, wooden axles and wooden wheels, while the Japanese army's carriages, except for the Chinese carriages requisitioned on the spot, are basically industrially produced steel hubs, rubber wheels, steel axles, ball bearing carriages, and soft harnesses, which can be pulled by many horses.

According to the horse breeding textbooks after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the resistance coefficient of the ball bearing rubber-tyred cart on a good dirt road is 0.013, and a Mongolian horse with a pull force of 45 kg can pull a carriage with a total weight of 3470 kg, while the resistance coefficient of the Chinese-style wooden truck is 0.065 under the same conditions, which is five times that of the rubber-tyred car, and the same pull force can only pull a 700-kilogram carriage. If we consider that the unit weight of the rubber-tyred cart is much lower than that of a wooden carriage, the capacity of a rubber-tyred cart can reach six to seven times that of a wooden carriage.

Especially considering that the carriage and the coachman themselves also consume the provisions of the vehicle, the effective capacity of the rubber-tyred cart can reach more than eight times that of a wooden carriage. What's more, the pull strength of the Japanese army's horses is still high, and the gap is even greater.

The logistics are so completely lost, and the cost in the battle is extremely high. (To be continued......)
