In North China in June, the spring cold has not yet dissipated, on the river in Baiyangdian in Renqiu, five or six small boats walk on the water surface of the blue sky, white clouds and reeds, and a fresh natural fragrance is filled between heaven and earth; The wind on the lake is a little strong, blowing the reeds one after another, and the sound of the oars paddling, which makes people feel calm.

Ouyang Yun stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast reeds and the fish jumping out of the water from time to time on the lake, he had a desire to play a song, he looked at Gu Lianyun standing beside him, and said: "What a beautiful scenery, such a great river and mountain, how can we bear to let her be ravaged by the Japanese?!" ”

Gu Lianyun's face was already pale because his body had not fully recovered, and at this time, he was soaked in water vapor, and his skin became more and more white. Her expression looked very calm, and she didn't know if she was also infected by this beautiful scenery, so she brushed her hair with her hand and nodded gently.

Renqiu, as a small city in the middle of Hebei, from a military point of view, its geographical location has special strategic significance - 151 kilometers away from Beijing in the north, 201 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang in the southwest, 114 kilometers away from Cangzhou in the southeast, 135 kilometers away from Tianjin in the northeast, and 66 kilometers away from Baoding in the west. If it weren't for the fact that there was oil in its territory, Song Zheyuan would not have handed over such an important place to the Xuebing Brigade to garrison.

Baiyangdian is located 10 kilometers northwest of Renqiu City, the water area is 366 square kilometers, there are as many as 143 lakes, of which there are 99 large lakes of more than 100 acres, the famous "Yanling Team" in history is relying on the intricate waterways of Baiyangdian and the little devils to fight guerrillas, using small wooden boats, rifles, grenades, stunned to play the little devils around.

Ouyang Yun took into account the special geographical advantages of Baiyangdian, so he moved the idea of hiding important factories such as pharmaceutical factories in them. After he arrived in Renqiu, he only went to the military camp in the south of the city (formerly the barracks of the 2nd and 5th Division), so he took the third special service group and some of the students of Langya, invited a few local fishermen as guides, rowed a small boat, and went to Baiyangdian to "travel".

Tianqiao and his party, Huang Zilin is a harvest, and now he has received systematic training in the fox pupil, learning to send reports and decipher codes. After a short period of special training, the Fox Pupil and the Wolf Tooth army have failed in the battle of the Japanese Concession, and they still can't see any unusual abilities, and now the oarsmen on several ships are the warriors of the Wolf Fang.

Baiyangdian famous fishing village, which is scattered with many villages, after more than half a day of investigation, visit, finally decided to build the pharmaceutical factory on the "carp island" about five kilometers away from the four embankments.

Shaped like a carp, Liyu Island is about 500 meters long and 200 meters wide, and is surrounded by six 200-meter-square-sized land. If a factory is built on Liyu Island, then the other six landmasses can establish corresponding defensive positions - it is with this in mind that Ouyang Yun chose the location of the pharmaceutical factory and the second military factory.

After the group returned to Renqiu City at about three o'clock in the afternoon, he began to arrange the flattening of the land and the construction of the factory, and at the same time arranged the camp of the wolf tooth in Renqiu on the island, just so that they could practice their swimming skills.

After the Nationalist Government withdrew from Hebei, the officials stationed in the Renqiu County Government also withdrew, and most of the remaining officials were some local officials, the largest of which was a deputy county magistrate named Kangdafu.

Kondav was in his forties, of medium build, wearing a pair of glasses, and looking very Sven. Ouyang Yun had just returned to the county government with the special service team and the wolf's tooth officers and soldiers, and he brought officials of all sizes to meet the chief officer.

It was almost evening, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren, and Gu Lianyun were talking in the office of the former director of appeasement, and Bai Tassel and Liu Zheliang were all dressed in military uniforms, standing at the door on one left and one right.

Kondafu had already been to the barracks once, but because he hadn't seen anyone, he didn't expect the chief officer to be a young man. After he entered the office, he regarded Jiang Shuren as the new appeasement director and county magistrate, hurriedly ran forward to shake hands with him, and said: "Duff has seen the director, and the director has worked hard from afar." ”

Jiang Shuren hurriedly avoided it, pointed at Ouyang Yun and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Kang, you are mistaken, your new director is him." ”

Only then did Kang Dafu notice Ouyang Yun, seeing that he was so young, he was stunned at first, and then said with a smile on his face: "Oh, I didn't expect the director to be so young, really, really ......" "really" for a long time, but he couldn't pick up the following.

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Under Ouyang Yun, you are the deputy county magistrate, Mr. Kang Dafu, right?" ”

"It's just not a talent."

Ouyang Yun originally thought that there must be only a mess left in the Renqiu County Government, but he didn't expect everything to be in order, knowing that Dao should be the credit of Kang Dafu, he had a good impression of him, and said: "Deputy County Magistrate Kang has worked hard, we have traveled all the way and found that the government has not been affected, and all public officials are sticking to their posts, Deputy County Magistrate Kang, Ouyang Thank you here." ”

Kang Duff hurriedly said: "The director is polite, this is what Duff should do." Then he looked out the door and said, "My subordinates want to come and see you, let's see if you let them in." ”

"No, I'll go out to see them, this room is too small," Ouyang Yun said and took the lead out of the house, saw seven or eight people standing in the courtyard, and asked Kang Dafu who was following him: "Have all my colleagues arrived?" ”

"No, they are all heads of various departments, director, please give me a lecture!"

Ouyang Yun smiled, his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and said: "Just excuse me, you are all older than me, and you have been an official for many years, and you must know more about people's livelihood affairs than me, how did I first arrive, I don't understand anything, many places have to rely on you a lot, everyone, please here!" After speaking, he solemnly gave a military salute.

Everyone didn't even dare to say it, and some said that it should be, and then, Kang Dafu pretended to take out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Director, you see that the time is not early, and the subordinates want to pick up the wind for you, do you want to go now?" ”

Ouyang Yun didn't really want to go, but Gu Lianyun reminded him last night that he should follow the customs when he enters the township, and ask Jiang Shuren for advice when he encounters government affairs, so he set his sights on Jiang Shuren.

Jiang Shuren's current public identity is Renqiu County Financial Consultant and General Manager of Dadao Finance Company, he nodded slightly, and said: "It's rare for colleagues to have a heart, Director, let's go now, this has been a long day's journey, and I am indeed hungry." ”

Ouyang Yun asked the students to go back to the barracks first, and then a group of nearly fifteen people drove to a restaurant next to the county government. During the banquet, Ouyang Yun asked Kang Dafu about some of the situation of Renqiu, and Kang Dafu patiently introduced it, explaining Renqiu's population, specialties, harvest, etc. one by one. Ouyang Yun saw that what he said was supported by numbers, and he thought that he had really worked hard, and he had a better impression of him, and when he finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Ouyang first came to Renqiu, I didn't know a lot of things, and I was worried that I would make jokes, but now that I have the help of County Magistrate Kang, I don't have this worry......" Since he thinks that the other party is trustworthy, he does not hide it, and tells his governance plans one by one.

Kang Dafu was very surprised to hear that he was going to set up more than 20 factories and mines at once, Ouyang Yun's reputation he had already heard of, but the other party was too young, and this plan was really grand, he had to wonder whether the other party was a whim, or really had ulterior motives, thought about it and said: "In this way, then our Renqiu Ke will become a heavy industrial city in Hebei, but Renqiu has a limited population, and his livelihood has always been based on fishing and agriculture, and the director has to open so many factories at once, I am afraid that I will not find so many qualified workers for a while." ”

Jiang Shuren smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "County Magistrate Kang doesn't need to worry, if the workers are not satisfied, we will recruit them from other places." Many of these factories run by the director belong to new industries, and the requirements for the cultural quality of the workers are very high, and they will definitely not be satisfied by any place. ”

At this time, the population of Renqiu is only about 350,000, of which the agricultural population is the majority, and the main industries of Renqiu are mostly related to Baiyangdian, such as fishing, reed weaving, and other industries, except for some blacksmith shops and small shipyards, which are almost empty.

In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, Renqiu's "Yanling Team" and "Tunnel Warfare" were quite famous. Now, Baiyangdian has been used by Ouyang Yun, so he naturally won't let it go. On this basis, if a complete set of air defense systems is formed, it will undoubtedly be able to provide a good hiding place for dealing with the bombing of little devils in wartime. In his vision, strategically important and complex factories and mines would definitely go underground. In this way, once the Lugou Bridge Incident and the subsequent Battle of Beiping occurred, Renqiu could become the rear of the 29th Army, and could continuously provide ammunition and supplies to the front line.

In the past, after the establishment of the military government in Yicha, the 29th Army was once the most well-equipped unit in the country because of the left and right between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese-soldiers generally used Czech-style rifles, platoon commanders used German-style Bergman submachine guns, company commanders each had 1 20-round barge gun, and each squad was equipped with 2 grenadiers, 2 grenades, and 1 Czech light machine gun. The division is equipped with more than 700 light machine guns, more than double the 274 units of the Central Army's A Division. It stands to reason that such a firepower configuration, coupled with the good military literacy of the soldiers of the 29th Army, no matter how strong the little devil is, he can't please him, but the final result shocked the **, but in about three weeks, the 29th Army lost Beiping and even the whole of Hebei. Investigate the reasons, on the one hand, it is true that Song Zheyuan still wants to settle disputes by agreement and wants to preserve his strength, but he does not move seriously; On the other hand, the 29th Army's lack of sharp weapons against aircraft, tanks, and artillery is also one of the main reasons - no matter how fierce your infantry is, the little devils bomb with planes, bombarded with artillery, and charge with tanks, and don't fight with you in close combat, then what submachine guns, light machine guns, grenadiers, and large blades have become ornaments - the planes, tanks, and cannons of the little devils in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century fell in Ouyang Yun's eyes, which were quite toy-like things, take tanks as an example, the Type 95 light and Type 97 medium equipped by the Japanese army in the early days of World War II, THE FORMER WEIGHS LESS THAN 8 TONS, THE LATTER WEIGHS ONLY 15 TONS, AND THE CALIBER OF THE TANK GUN IS ONLY 37MM AND 57MM, THE ARMOR THICKNESS OF THE FORMER IS ONLY 6-12MM, AND THE LATTER IS ONLY 6-17MM. The main reason why the Japanese army was able to rely on these toy-like tanks to wreak havoc on the land of China was that the Chinese army was equipped with too few tanks and a shortage of anti-tank weapons.

If the 29th Army wants to win the Sino-Japanese War two years later, how to effectively contain the opponent's aircraft, tanks, and artillery will play a decisive role, and these are the real reasons that prompted Ouyang Yun to establish an arsenal as soon as possible.
