Putting aside the matter of transcribing the militia's military training manual for the time being, Kong Jie was thinking about another thing.

In fact, when he ambushed the Japanese transport squadron for the first time, Kong Jie had this idea in his heart, and blindly capturing it was not only difficult, it was difficult to avoid casualties, but also could not solve the fundamental problem.

In the final analysis, being able to produce by yourself is the last word.

If you could make guns and ammunition by yourself, how could this war of resistance be so difficult?

Of course, Kong Jie was powerless to change the overall situation in which the overall industrial level of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army was extremely backward and the production capacity was extremely low.

But if it's just an independent regiment, maybe it can still be tossed and turned.

In October 38, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee also said: "The issue of arms assistance in guerrilla warfare is an extremely important issue. On the other hand, every guerrilla warfare base area must try to build small arsenals as much as possible to the extent that they can make their own ammunition, rifles, grenades, and so on, so that guerrilla warfare will not run out of arms. ”

This is also the meaning of the above, even if Kong Jie wants to build an arsenal in his independent regiment, as long as he has this ability, his superiors will not only have nothing to say, but he will also be credited.

However, Kong Jie also knows very well that he can't become a big fat man by eating one bite, and the affairs of this arsenal have to be planned slowly.

So Kong Jie thought about it, let's not build any arsenal first, just build a small repair shop in the independent regiment station, this is always okay, right?

You must know that every time you fight, most of the weapons captured are damaged and unusable.

For example, the equipment of Yamamoto's special forces was seized in front of him, three grenadiers were broken, three Type 96 light machine guns were all damaged, and even ten German-made MP38s were damaged.

It can't all be piled up in the warehouse to be moldy, or sent to the arsenal in the rear in vain, and as a result, the logistics minister Zhang Wan and the old boy are "greedy for ink", right?

That guy, it's easy for you to send it over, but it's hard to get it back!

After thinking about it, Kong Jie called the signal corps, and soon, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, and Wang An, the head of the enemy engineering department, rushed to the regiment headquarters to report.

"Commander, you're looking for us!" Wang Huaibao spoke.

Kong Jie nodded, and the more he looked at the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao, the more satisfied he became.

This matter of establishing an independent regiment repair institute, Kong Jie needs a general who can keep his mouth shut and do things steadfastly, and the first battalion commander Wang Leihu has a big personality and is not reliable enough, and the second battalion commander Shen Quan has too much bad water in his stomach, which is not reliable.

"I called you two over this time, because I have something to discuss with you, I am going to set up a repair shop in our independent regiment, and the standards are not high, not to mention that it can produce guns and ammunition like the arsenal, at least it can transform and repair some damaged weapons."

"Tell me about it, what do you think?"

Wang Huaibao said: "Regiment commander, I agree with this matter, every time we finish a battle, nearly half of the weapons we captured are damaged, some are damaged by our artillery fire, and some are damaged by the devils before retreating, we can only send them to the arsenal in the rear, but the arsenal has been repaired and has never been returned to us, this is a loss-making business, we can't do it." ”

"Actually, I've thought about this for a long time, if our independent regiment can repair the damaged weapons by itself, we can capture at least half more weapons and equipment."

The thoughts of the two coincided, and Kong Jie immediately clapped his hand and said:

"Okay, then this matter is decided, I will give you full authority to the third battalion commander to be responsible for the construction of the repair institute of our independent regiment, and there is only one requirement, within half a month, the repair station must give Lao Tzu an appearance."

Wang Huaibao: "......"

Suddenly, I felt like I had lifted a stone and hit my own foot.

Wang Huaibao was not stupid, and said bitterly: "Regiment leader, but our current conditions are too simple, if we want to build a repair institute, up to now, there are no places, workers, masters, equipment, and tools, which is equivalent to starting from scratch, you give me this task, and I have no place to start!" ”

Kong Jie was relieved: "Don't worry, I, as the head of the regiment, have no reason to force the rooster to lay eggs." ”

"I am solely responsible for the affairs of the repair station, you can communicate with me if you have any difficulties, and I will do everything I can to assist you."

"The place is easy to solve, no matter how the station of our independent regiment is changed in the future, I will order a large courtyard to be vacated for repair."

"Workers and masters, there are also ways, this is also the reason why I called Wang An over, your enemy Ministry of Works, polish my eyes a little during this time, inquire more if it's okay, ask more."

"For example, is there a master who has done artillery battles in villages and towns before, but all masters who do artillery battles are indispensable to deal with gunpowder, and our guns, explosives, and grenades, which of these items is inseparable from gunpowder?"

"In addition, there were a lot of arsenals in Taiyuan back then, after the fall of Taiyuan, many workers and masters of those arsenals fled, and the enemy Ministry of Engineering widened the eyeliner, once they found the workers or masters who fled from the arsenal, they passed the news back as soon as possible."

"It's really not good, just draw some veterans who are familiar with firearms in our team, and don't ask them to modify and manufacture, and the damaged guns that are captured are removed, and the parts and components that can be used are removed for me, and the three broken rifles, as long as one can be assembled in the end, it is earned, and it is better than throwing all three away."

"As for the most difficult equipment and tools to solve, you can rest assured, I will also find a way to solve it."

With Kong Jie's narration, the originally complex problems seem to be peeling back the cocoon, and it seems that they are not so difficult.

Wang An said with a smile: "Regiment leader, if you want to say that this matter is really easy to do, there are many puppet troops in the county towns of the war zone who have people from our enemy engineering department, and some who are just in charge of the garrison at the city gate." ”

"Now the devils are strictly investigated, and the people who come and go have to get to the bottom of it, their work, age, and what they have done, and they can't wait to dig out people's ancestral graves and interrogate them."

"Let's just take the opportunity to inquire, if we really meet some people who have worked in the arsenal, as long as we can get our repair shop, aren't they all rare military talents!"

"Your kid's brain is spinning fast enough, okay, that's it!" Kong Jie said with a smile.

"Third battalion commander, how is it, are there any questions?"

Kong Jieneng handed over the important task of the repair institute to Wang Huaibao, this is absolute trust, Wang Huaibao immediately closed his steps and saluted: "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Kong Jie said: "Oh, by the way, although the matter of the repair institute is not big, if you really let the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei know, you may not have a bad idea." ”

"The name has to be changed, at least it can't be called the repair institute directly, in addition, the whole group will keep it secret for me, and no one is allowed to leak this matter to Lao Tzu!"

"Yes!"

Wang Huaibao and Wang An responded, and Wang Huaibao said: "Commander, if it is not called a repair institute, what should it be called?" ”

"What's it called?"

Kong Jie thought for a moment and patted his head, "Yes, the repair shop is in the yard, so let's call it 'Grocery Yard'!" ”

Wang An and Wang Huaibao nodded, this name is probably from no one who can associate it with the repair institute and the arsenal......
