Chapter 64: A little bit of capital

"Has the organization said when it will open?"

"The day after tomorrow," Yang Qing said, "Now that the Japanese puppet army is ready to start encircling and suppressing our army, the meeting needs to be held as soon as possible." We are running out of time and must complete a new deployment as soon as possible. ”

Li Qinghe took a deep breath and frowned, it seemed that the headquarters had also learned that the Battle of Wuhan was about to come to an end, and the Japanese North China Front would fully launch the law and order plan for the eastern Hebei region.

It is now late September, the Battle of Wuhan is coming to an end, and the 27th Division, which was reorganized from the former Chinese garrison army, has almost returned. Coupled with the local Japanese puppet army, the total number of Japanese puppet army troops will reach nearly 50,000. This kind of combat effectiveness is not comparable to the anti-union of the gang in Jidong, who lack clothes and ammunition, and if they do not quickly build a base area, they will definitely die.

Thinking of this, Li Qinghe took out the cigarette in his hand, lit it casually, and took a hard puff.

"The day after tomorrow is good, solve it as soon as possible, and ensure combat effectiveness as soon as possible. However, in this case, I am afraid that the issue of the reorganization of our troops will have to be put on hold for a while. ”

"Yes," Yang Qing nodded, "The anti-encirclement and suppression operation is imminent, and we don't have time to solve the reorganization and reorganization of the anti-coalition forces now, and we must immediately jump out of the enemy's encirclement." ”

"Looks like our training is coming to an end." Li Qinghe looked at the map hanging on the wall, "Our anti-encirclement campaign will start at any time, and the troops must be ready at all times. ”

"No, we have more time here in Funing." Yang Qing said suddenly, "According to the intelligence of the comrades in the Qinhuangdao area, the Japanese puppet army in the Qinhuangdao area did not receive any tasks, and the puppet Manchukuo Army and the Kwantung Army in Rehe in the north did not make any moves. We suspect they are waiting, but what are waiting for does not know. ”

"Personally, I'd like to say that they're waiting for us all to assemble and then we're all gone. The combat effectiveness of one of our brigades is not as good as that of a small squad of the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness of one of our corps will be broken in the head and bloodied when it encounters the units of the Japanese army brigade and above. Therefore, our decisive battle with the Japanese army is the next strategy among the next strategies. And this is what the Japanese army wants, and we must avoid it. ”

Li Qinghe took a deep puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Yang, you have a great eye." Your level of vision is really condescending to be a junior secretary of the county party committee, you should go down to the army to lead the troops to fight. ”

"Forget it," Yang Qing waved his hand, "I'm like this, it's okay to analyze a thing, it's really implemented, it's still far from good." It's better to be the little secretary of the county party committee with peace of mind, and do things clearly. ”

"However, Lao Yang, you are right, and there is still one thing that you missed." Li Qinghe took a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Yang Qing, "Have you read the recent newspapers, how was the battle of Wuhan on the other side of the national government?" ”

Yang Qing frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"You also know the words of the news media in the national government, and you know very well what level these guys are. At the end of October, the Battle of Wuhan was coming to an end, and the government was not a success, but it was not a failure. After the Battle of Wuhan, the Chinese garrison of the former North China Front Army will have to return to the North China Front sequence, and the Japanese army is probably waiting for this force now. ”

"Wait, isn't the Chinese garrison already disbanded? How can there still be a Chinese garrison? Yang Qing was a little puzzled.

"The original Chinese garrison army was disbanded in the 27th year of the Republic of China and the North China Front Army was established. In June of the 28th year of the Republic of China, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army was formed with the former Chinese Garrison Infantry Brigade as the backbone, and the division commander was Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma. Soon after its establishment, it was seconded to Central China to send troops to participate in the Battle of Wuhan. ”

"But this unit was only temporarily seconded by the Central China Dispatch Army because of necessity. Therefore, after the Battle of Wuhan, the 27th Division will still return to its original structure. The people under him are all troops stationed in eastern Hebei back then, so our future opponents are also these guys. ”

"The 27th Division," Yang Qing also frowned, this division is not a second-line garrison division, and those who can go to Wuhan to fight are all first-class field divisions.

"Still, these guys have a hard time beating us. After all, he has fought a lot of big wars and is used to it, but he is not used to fighting guerrilla warfare like ours. If there is a problem for us, it is because there are too many plains in eastern Hebei, which are not suitable for us to fight guerrilla warfare, and we do not yet have the ability to fight field battles with the Japanese army for the time being. After all, we don't have our industrial base. Li Qinghe stretched his waist lazily.

"Yes," Yang Qing frowned, the industrial problem is the biggest difficulty in China. There are only 4 arsenals in the country, 2 of which are now in the hands of the Japanese, and 2 have been relocated to the rear, so it is a question of when production will resume. It's still an arsenal, and we don't even have more industry. With such a low production capacity, there is no way to compare with the Japanese.

"However, I have contacted a businessman from a foreign company, who may be able to help us solve a lot of problems, especially various industrial equipment."

"Really?" Yang Qing stood up in surprise, "You really found a foreign merchant from a foreign company selling all kinds of industrial equipment?" ”

"Well, this guy said he could sell it, but I don't know the specifics." Li Qinghe waved his hand, "This guy said that he was a businessman and aristocrat in the United States, and he went bankrupt because of the economic crisis, so he could only come to China to find a way to make a fortune." I met this person quite by chance, and I met him by chance, and then I bought some information from him. ”

"Oh?" Yang Qing was instantly interested, "What materials have you bought?" ”

"Industrial machine tools and part of the means of production of the steel industry. Hawkers, there is no production line and steel mill machinery, and the means of production can be used as a reference for our arsenal. ”

"Arsenal? Good guy, you've got a lot of good stuff in your way. Yang Qing walked up excitedly, "In such a short period of time, you even have an arsenal?" ”

"I still have to rely on the 'blessing' of the Japanese devils, and a group of old workers of the Fengtian Arsenal escaped from the factory and ran to eastern Hebei. I happened to negotiate with them here, and they were willing to support me, so I built an arsenal and took them with me. ”

"However, it is said that the arsenal is still high, it is a simple repair shop, which can make steel by local methods, and simply maintain the guns, and the bullets cannot be reloaded, because there is no brass smelting capacity and smokeless gunpowder production capacity."

"Sizzle," Yang Qing gasped, "You have enough, you must know that the Huangyadong Arsenal at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army does not have these things you think, and it is more than you have more bullets to reload, what else do you want." You still have the backbone of the old Northeast Fengtian Arsenal, as well as the relevant information of industrial machine tools, but we don't have anything in Huangya Cave. ”

"But there is still the support of the central government on the Huangya Cave side, part of the personnel construction of the Taiyuan Arsenal, and there is relatively no shortage of talents, so it can still be carried out. I can't digest this information at all, because there is no one who can do it. ”

"The director of the arsenal is the old workshop manager of the Fengtian Arsenal, but in the entire arsenal, he is the only one who can understand this information, and it is still partial. If we can't understand the information, we can't build machine tools and milling machines that can be used. Li Qinghe pressed his temples with a headache.

When it comes to the issue of talents, Yang Qing can only shake his head helplessly, the current situation in China is here. A weak country does not have its own complete science and engineering education system, and there are far from enough talents, so it is simply unable to support Li Qinghe to engage in industrial construction here.

Scratching his head, Li Qinghe smiled, "Don't think about it, just wait for these broken things to talk about next." Anyway, I'm also engaged in relevant education here, not to mention anything else, and to bring the level of these workers to the level of junior high school students and even high school students. With this level, it will be much easier for us to engage in industry. ”

"That's not very easy to do," Yang Qing frowned, "That's it, I'll go to the organization and apply for a group of intellectuals to transfer you over at this meeting, so that they can teach." ”

"Don't say goodbye," Li Qinghe shook his head, "Our place is deep behind enemy lines, and it is not convenient for the headquarters to transfer talents." And when it comes to teaching, our staff can too. Although you are not very good at math or anything, you have no problem teaching literacy and writing. ”

"Oh yes, it's okay to forget about our staff," Yang Qing patted his head, "Then let's wait until the meeting is over, let's unify the literacy classes and workers' study classes to strengthen the quality of our base residents and workers." ”

"Okay, yes, I agree. In this way, we can't just run classes, but also engage in a reward system. Lao Yang, you know, it's not enough to rely on spiritual rewards alone, let's also give them some material rewards. At present, the material resources of the troops are relatively sufficient, and they are still able to give some encouragement. Li Qinghe said while thinking about it.

"Yes, we can't treat these students badly." Yang Qing nodded, "That's it, I'll communicate with the logistics at that time and see what I can come up with for a reward." Then I'll draw it up here, and I'll give you a look at it, and if it's okay, I'll settle it. ”

"Okay," Li Qinghe looked at his watch, "It's almost time, we have to go to class." Yang Qing nodded and began to pack up his things, "But I said Lao Li, you should pay attention here, after so many classes a day, your body still needs to be protected." ”

"Don't worry," Li Qinghe patted his chest, "This body is very strong, and he is not afraid of fatigue." ”
