In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and Qiao Youhua had already left Shimen with Liu Ruhan, Liu Jianhua, and Zheng Yunshan with the guard battalion and cavalry battalion and returned to the Pingshan base area.

Ma Biao's second regiment stayed behind in Shimen, while Wu Ming's third regiment withdrew to Luquan and Zhengding counties, echoing the three regiments and forming horns with each other.

Today's main strength of the Dragon's Tooth Column is on the side of the Second and Third Regiments, and the two regiments have accumulated the tens of thousands of puppet army prisoners before the two regiments, and the combined strength has reached nearly 20,000 at this time, which is actually the size of two B divisions.

Next, the three regiments of the Dragon's Tooth Column were expanded into brigades or divisions, and Qiao Youhua already had a preliminary plan, just waiting to go back to expand the arsenal, and after he was on the right track, he would recruit some more soldiers, and then ask the boss of the headquarters to put it into action.

Therefore, for the time being, the strength of the second and third regiments exceeded that of the first regiment, and Qiao Youhua did not adjust and integrate.

The cavalry battalion and the guard battalion once again played a great role in this battle, and Qiao Youhua planned to modify and upgrade them first to form two mechanized and motorized model troops.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the tank tank tank factory first.

When Qiao Youhua returned to Pingshan County with the troops, only Wan Ying'er, the deputy director of communications, went out of the city to greet him when he heard the news.

Wan Ying'er came to him, stood up the proud **** and saluted him: "Commander, Director, welcome to your triumphant return!" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded slightly in response, and asked with a smile: "Ying'er, why are you the only one, the political commissar?" ”

Wan Ying'er replied with a sweet smile: "The political commissar is all in the arsenal, and Mr. Yadru and his engineers are installing and building a new military production plant for us." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "Oh." Then he turned his head to Liu Ruhan, who was radiant behind him and as attractive as a ripe peach, and said: "Ruhan, you go back to rest first, I'll go directly to the arsenal." ”

Liu Ruhan nodded obediently, now she was completely conquered by Qiao Youhua physically and mentally, and she was so full of love that she naturally did everything.

Qiao Youhua said to Liu Jianhua and Zheng Yunshan again: "The cavalry battalion and the guard battalion have returned to their original stations, so let's take a good rest, these days, everyone has worked hard, and when the affairs of the arsenal are over, the column will hold a celebration meeting to reward all the meritorious officers and soldiers!" ”

Liu Jianhua and Zheng Yunshan spoke up one after another: "Commander, we are not tired, and we also want to follow us to the arsenal to see if we can help anything." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

After speaking, the three of them got on a side three-wheeled motorcycle, Zheng Yunshan acted as the driver, the motorcycle made a roaring sound, and a puff of green smoke gushed out from the tail, and the wind rushed around Pingshan County, along a dirt road leading to the location of the arsenal, and rumbled.

Walking on this somewhat uneven dirt road, Qiao Youhua touched the scene and thought: "The road of our arsenal is too poor, there is a saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build the road, and if you want to build the base arsenal better, you must also repair the road!" When we look back and find time, we will repair the roads in Pingshan County first, and we will not require them to be built into ash asphalt roads, but at least they should be built into gravel roads, which are smoother than now.

After all, we will build a tank and combat vehicle factory in the future, and there will be a steady stream of tanks and armored vehicles in service, and without good road conditions, even the arsenal will not be able to go out. ”

Liu Jianhua, who was sitting next to Qiao Youhua, nodded and said, "The commander is reasonable, it seems that it is indeed necessary to build the road at present. ”

The two said this, and soon the motorcycle carried them to the location of the arsenal, and the guards on duty on the periphery saw that it was the three of them, so they naturally would not stop it, and the sentinels in the open place stood up and saluted, moved the barricades and let them go, and the three of them were able to come to the outside of the arsenal unimpeded.

The guards outside the factory and the workers who were busy coming in and out saw them and saluted or greeted them.

After Qiao Youhua waved and nodded with them, he led the two into the arsenal area, and saw the tank and combat vehicle factory under construction from a distance.

It was a large clearing near the woods not far from the small arms factory, which had been a dense forest bush that had been specially cleared.

It is surrounded by dense forests, and if you look at it from a bird's-eye view from a high altitude, it is very concealed, which can effectively prevent it from being discovered by the devil's fighter or reconnaissance plane, of course, once the devil discovers here, it is not afraid, because since the establishment of the arsenal, the dragon's tooth column has never slackened its defense against the arsenal, especially air defense.

This time, in addition to the production equipment and technology of the tank and combat vehicle factory, Yadru's fleet also brought a variety of artillery, including the famous German 88mm anti-aircraft gun, which is a super killer for both air defense and ground combat.

And 12. THE 7MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUN AND OTHER LARGE-CALIBER GUNS CAN BE FORESEEN THAT THE AIR DEFENSE CAPABILITY OF THE DRAGON'S TOOTH COLUMN WILL BE GREATLY STRENGTHENED IN THE FUTURE, AND AS LONG AS THE TIME IS RIPE, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FORM A SEPARATE AIR DEFENSE UNIT.

When I walked to the construction site of the chariot factory, I saw that Guo Meng was wearing a steel helmet as a helmet, standing with several tall gringos, still holding design drawings in his hands, as if discussing something.

Probably hearing the salute of the soldiers around them, Guo Meng, Yadru and the others turned around and saw Qiao Youhua one after another, and they all smiled and walked over to greet each other.

"Commander!"

"Commander Qiao!"

Qiao Youhua smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be polite, what should you be busy with, I'm here to see how the factory construction is, and by the way, see if you can help." ”

Yadru said with a smile: "The progress is very smooth, with the full manpower support of Political Commissar Guo, I have discussed it with Engineer Johnson, and in about half a month, we will be able to build a tank tank tank factory for your department, because these equipment and technologies are all mature in our existing Germany, so as long as the production line is built, a little test, and after commissioning, it can be officially put into production." ”

Briton Johnson, who has been in charge of the construction and operation of the arsenal for Qiao Youhua, also nodded: "That's right, dear Mr. Qiao, now everything is going on step by step, you don't have to worry too much, I believe that soon, you and your comrades-in-arms will be able to see the German-style tanks and armored vehicles produced in China." ”

Qiao Youhua was in a good mood when he heard this, patted Johnson on the shoulder and said, "Very good, Mr. Johnson, then I will thank you in advance, and when the expansion work of the arsenal is over, we must have a good drink!" ”
