Jiang Qiang finally waited for the arrival of a special forces brigade, at this time Jiang Qiang took out a map drawn by the Japanese special high school and said, you look at the map to know the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, our map is so detailed, look at a well They did not give up, this time we have to solve the Shandong giant bandit Liu Heiqi, this is Dawu Mountain, two kilometers away is Xiaowu Mountain, we should not drive the truck in this time, in case of alarming this batch of bandits, and the ammunition must be enough, One of the five exits is five people, all wearing body armor, and there is not a close kill with them, but long-range sniping, and a squad with a mortar.

Jiang Qiang said, I don't want casualties in this operation, but I can't be careless, this time there are Zhou Yubing in charge of the periphery, Huzi and I took thirty people to meet the bandits from the front, Qin Siyu took thirty people to attack the bandits from behind, and Song Xiaobao took ten people to Xiaowu Mountain, if you don't have a certain certainty, don't shoot, do you have any problems, Qin Siyu is or I lead the team to meet the enemy from the front, Jiang Qiang said, just follow this arrangement, don't talk so much. Qin Siyu said. Be. Jiang Qiang said that the most important thing is to pay more attention to the pitfalls.

Today everyone has a good meal, tomorrow morning to set off, those who are soldiers know that it is easy to talk about now, I don't know what kind of difficulties will be encountered tomorrow, because this time out of a hundred special forces, that is to say, this gang of bandits is not ordinary bandits, everyone knows a lot, to appear when a hundred special forces are used is twice, one is the trip to Jiangxi, at that time is to deal with spies, and bandits, and there is Zunyi when also use a hundred special forces to deal with the hometown regiment and spies, This time, it was to deal with a group of bandits and also used more than a hundred special forces, that is, a group of bandits, and Jiang Qiang also went to join them to cook together.

After a while, the scouting soldiers came back and said. Boss, you guessed not wrong at all, where are there indeed Japanese, and there are a few military instructors, or a woman named Yuko Kitajima is a doctor, and another is named Takeo Kimura. This group is called the Kimura group, a total of fifteen Japanese, and this Liu Heiqi has not shown up, and the one who has been showing up is his younger brother, called Baye, the current bandits are about five hundred, where is there less than ten bandits in Xiaowu Mountain, Jiang Qiang said, where is there still a situation in Xiaowu Mountain that we don't know, so where is Xiaowu Mountain or don't attack first, just intercept on the periphery, long-range interception is the best, Liu Heiqi at this time must be in Xiaowu Mountain, and there must be tunnels somewhere, In this way, it is clear why so many people are arrested, just to dig up the tunnel, that Liu Heiqi has been able to save his life in many times in the encirclement and suppression is because of his cunning, our people surrounded and suppressed him and he escaped behind us, this trick is called the golden cicada's shell plan, damn it is still in ambush for him to escape again in three kilometers before a few people can do it, and no matter who is not allowed to run away, even ordinary people.

After a while, Jiang Qiang called Song Xiaobao over to make arrangements, so that there were only two special forces and Lao Song's family left here at home, and the officers and soldiers here in Haizhou were also serving Liu Heiqi completely for money, Jiang Qiang finally discussed with Lao Song that he would hide the truck, Jiang Qiang was still wary of Haizhou's security regiment, because they also had their own eyeliner to serve them, and finally decided to hide where to hide in Jiagou Mountain, where Song Xiaobao often went to hunt some prey and came back, Jiang Qiang thought about it and finally decided to do it, Because he knows too well what this group of militias is like, and they are completely reckless in their work, and sometimes they are not as good as bandits.

When everyone was eating, Jiang Qiang said that the arrangement of Xiaowu Mountain was again, Jiang Qiang said, the most important thing is that as long as the Japanese still have weapons in their hands, they will not surrender, everyone must remember, and the dead must be replenished with guns, this is for their own safety, and having good thoughts on the battlefield will harm others and themselves, the price of cultivating a special soldier is equivalent to 100 ordinary soldiers, everyone goes to rest after eating, Jiang Qiang and Huzi sleep in a room alone, Huzi said, I am still a little nervous, Jiang Qiang said, that's normal, I'm more careful than I am now, for the first time.

General Tang Juwu took the information reported by Jiang Qiang and said to Jiang Baili, do you see if the war can be avoided? Jiang Baili said, in fact, this arrangement is already good, the only variable is the Nanjing government and the chairman, if he clearly divides the theater of operations, this is our shortcoming, this Jiang Qiang's action in Haizhou has surfaced the actions of the Japanese army, large-scale war is inevitable, and if the Japanese army lands from Qingdao, then the 29th Army will be dangerous, Tang Juwu said, arrangements have been made here that the 29th Army temporarily withdraws in the direction of Handan, where to hold in Handan, Ma Hongkui, Yan Xishan, and the Red Party held on to Shanxi, once the war started, we ordered Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal to evacuate Taiyuan immediately, and the arsenal could not be left to the Japanese, and Yan Xishan's arsenal still had a certain scale.

Taiyuan Arsenal is the arsenal of artillery and ammunition opened by Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Taiyuan Arsenal, Shenyang Arsenal and Hanyang Arsenal, are the three major arsenals in the history of the Republic of China. Yan Xishan's ability to rule Shanxi for 38 years was directly related to the Taiyuan Arsenal to manufacture weapons and ammunition for him, and then recruit troops and horses to expand his power. The predecessor of Taiyuan Arsenal was the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory, and after the Xinhai Revolution, Yan Xishan was transformed from the 86 standard commanders of the Qing Army (equivalent to the regiment commander) to the Western Metropolitan Governor, monopolizing power. In May 1914, Yan was appointed by Yuan Shikai as a general of Tongwu, and in 1916 he was appointed as the overseer of Shanxi. In 1917, when Yan Xishan attended the meeting of the Beijing Governor's Corps, he visited the War Department's domestic weapons test firing competition. Seeing that the guns made by the Hanyang Arsenal at the scene were excellent, he came up with the idea of making his own munitions.

In 1917, Yan expanded the Jin army into 4 mixed brigades, with 12 infantry regiments, 2 cavalry regiments, 4 artillery battalions, and 1 machine gun battalion. It is equipped with more than 10,000 guns of various kinds, including dozens of machine guns and dozens of mountain artillery. These weapons are in disrepair and especially lack ammunition. Only during the war was a small number of bullets issued to the troops, and most of the bullet belts carried by the soldiers were empty, and the Beijing government did not allow the import of weapons and ammunition. At that time, there were many warlord factions and they were fighting for each other, and in order to keep the territory and consolidate the rule, Yan felt that it was imperative to prepare for the establishment of a gunpowder factory and a gun and ammunition factory.

As early as 1898 (the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu), Shanxi Governor Hu Pingzhi was influenced by Zhang Zhidong's Westernization to establish the Hanyang Arsenal, and built 22 factories in the Thousand Buddha Temple of the Cypress Garden outside the small north gate (arch gate) in Taiyuan, which was named the Machinery Bureau. At that time, the equipment was rudimentary, and there was a shortage of craftsmen, so they could only repair spears, sabers, small cannons and other objects. Later, a group of craftsmen were hired from Tianjin and other places, and the more complex waste weapons could also be repaired as new. In 1912 (the early years of the Republic of China), Yan Xishan appointed Li Mengshu (Tao An), a Dingxiang man who studied in the United Kingdom, as the director of the Machinery Bureau, and slightly expanded the scale, but still did not have the ability to manufacture weapons. Yan Xishan was afraid that Yuan Shikai would be eliminated because of his suspicion, so in 1914, he changed the Machinery Bureau to the Shanxi Army Repair Institute. After Yuan Shikai's death, Yan Xishan let go and boldly carried out activities to expand armaments. In order to solve the problem of funds, Yan set up a copper yuan bureau in the repair institute, and used the huge income from the minting of copper coins to expand the factory building, add machinery, and recruit mechanical technicians from Tianjin and other places, increasing the number of employees to five or six hundred. In March 1920, Yan ordered the merger of the Repair Institute and the Tongyuan Bureau, and renamed it the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory.

In the early days of the establishment, the personnel structure, machinery and equipment were very rudimentary, mainly repairing weapons and producing broadswords, spears and muskets. At that time, there was no deep-hole processing equipment, and the production of the gun barrel was made by using the soil method, which was made by wrapping the wire rod on the core of L, heating it, beating it, and finally quenching it. It takes 3 or 4 days for a carpenter to work on a rifle stock, and it takes l months to repair a rifle. At this time, there was no plan for production, and 3 or 5 rifles were produced every month, and 8 or 9 rifles were produced. The muskets produced during this period had wheels and gun carriages, and the butts and gun carriages were engraved with "made in the year of Gengzi of the Jin Bureau", so that they became weapons produced by themselves. This is the production method that has lasted for several years, but it has also trained a group of technical backbones. In particular, after assembling guns and artillery with foreign parts, production technology has indeed improved greatly. Generally speaking, the production of weapons at this time was slightly rudimentary. After the Xinhai Revolution, in 1912, Yan Xishan served as the governor of Shanxi, stepped up the manufacture of munitions, introduced advanced management experience and machinery and equipment from Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom, hired foreign military factory technicians, and gradually expanded the Shanxi Machinery Bureau.

Before the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory was renamed Taiyuan Arsenal, there was a general office, which was headed by Shang Zhen, the commander of the first brigade of the Jin Army, and Li Mengshu served as the factory director, with three sections, of which the second section was in charge of manufacturing gunpowder and guns and ammunition. In 1921, the training factory ordered a set of bullet machines from the state-owned ordnance factory of the Ministry of War set up in Gaochang Temple in Shanghai, with a daily output of 10,000 bullets. Later, the Taiyuan Yucai Machinery Factory imitated the bullet machine, and the output doubled, with a daily output of 20,000 rounds. In addition, it can manufacture 65 rifles, 79 rifles and hand-held machine gun bullets, which is the beginning of Shanxi's armament manufacturing. In parallel with the success of building guns and ammunition, the development of grenades began. There are two types of projectile bodies: iron sheet and cast iron. After many experiments and battlefield practice, the body of the wooden-handled cast iron grenade can burst into dozens or even hundreds of shrapnel, with great lethality, and has become a famous brand in Shanxi's munitions, with a maximum daily output of more than 100,000 pieces. Both the Nanjing and Shenyang arsenals copied them, and it was recognized that the grenades developed in Shanxi were the most powerful. In July 1923, the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory was reorganized again, and the production workshops belonging to the three subordinate departments were all changed into factories, and a new gun and ammunition factory, a bomb factory, a shell factory, a smokeless medicine factory, an explosives factory, and an acid factory were newly set up. In addition, Yan Xishan also set up an independent black medicine factory and a pressed medicine factory in Dongshan, Taiyuan. With the increasing production of guns, bombs and shells, the production of gunpowder can not catch up with the demand, in addition to the white explosives, Pickerinic acid explosives are also produced, in order to reduce costs, and lead powder explosives are developed and produced, but the phenomenon of poor explosion occurs in use. In 1924, Zhang Kai, who studied chemical engineering at the Imperial University of Japan, returned from graduation and succeeded in imitating low-cost ammonium nitrate explosives. Yan named this explosive Kaizi explosive. In 1926, Yan separated the acid factory, smokeless medicine factory and explosives factory from the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory, merged with the black medicine factory and the pressure medicine factory and reorganized it into the independent Taiyuan Gunpowder Factory, and appointed Zhang Kai as the factory director. Not only has the output of gunpowder increased, but also the rapid burning pyrotechnic powder has been developed successively, which solves the problem of projectile charge required for mass production of artillery shells, as well as the fuse timing slow charge.

The successful trial production of Kaizi explosives promoted the mass production of bombs and shells. In January 1927, Yan Xishan changed the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory to Taiyuan Arsenal. This marked the rapid development of Shanxi's arms production from light weapons to heavy weapons. Taiyuan Arsenal and Gunpowder Factory have a total of 3,800 sets of equipment and 15,000 employees, and its scale is comparable to the largest Hanyang Arsenal and Shenyang Arsenal in the country. In August 1928, in order to weaken others' plans, the chairman of the committee convened a meeting to engage in disarmament on the grounds of the victory of the Northern Expedition. Yan Xishan did what he liked, and rebuilt the Taiyuan Arsenal into a Shanxi military craft practice factory, using the false to the fake, and its internal organization is still the same. Arms production continues unabated. From 1928 to 1930, the monthly output of the Taiyuan Arsenal was: 35 light and heavy guns, 100 mortars, 3,000 rifles, 15 machine guns, 900 hand-held machine guns, 15,000 shells, 9,000 shells, and 4.2 million bullets. Yan Xishan relied on these weapons and equipment to grow the Jin army to 300,000 troops, and had the spare power to sell weapons to Li Zongren, Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang and other warlords from other provinces at high prices. In 1930, the battle between Chiang, Feng and Yan Zhongyuan, which lasted for half a year, ended with the victory of the chairman of the committee. Yan Xishan went down to the wilderness and lived in Dalian. Chiang Kai-shek instructed Zhang Xueliang to unify and control the military and political affairs of Jin and Sui provinces, and decided to organize and dispatch the Jin and Sui armies. As a result, the production of munitions at the Taiyuan Arsenal and the Gunpowder Factory was stopped. The two factories were merged in April 1931 to form the Taiyuan Machinery Repair Institute. The original 15,000 employees were reduced to 1,800, and they were only engaged in some ordnance repair and civilian production.

After the September 18 Incident in 1931, when the people of the whole country unanimously demanded resistance against Japan, the chairman of the NPC National Committee shook hands with Yan Xishan and made peace. In March 1932, Yan Xishan was appointed by the chairman of the committee as the director of the Taiyuan Pacification Office, and regained the power of civil and military affairs. It was to divide the Taiyuan Repair Institute into two, that is, the Taiyuan Arsenal was partially changed to the Renshen (Renshen year) manufacturing plant, and the original gunpowder factory was changed to the Renshen Chemical Factory. The number of employees in the two factories was restored to 5,000. In addition, Taiyuan Yucai Machinery Factory and Taiyuan Yucai Steelmaking Plant were merged into Taiyuan Yucai Steelmaking Machinery Factory. After the equipment of the former Taiyuan Arsenal was transferred to the Renshen Manufacturing Plant, in order to avoid suspicion on the part of the chairman, the artillery factory and the hydraulic press factory were jointly called the Renshen No. 1 Factory, the artillery shell and bomb factories were jointly called the Renshen No. 2 Factory, the rifle factory was renamed the Renshen No. 3 Factory, the Gun and Ammunition Factory was renamed the Renshen No. 4 Factory, the machine gun factory and the smelting four factories were jointly called the Renshen No. 5 Factory, and the hand-held rifle factory was renamed the Renshen No. 6 Factory. The organization, collectively known as the Minshin Manufactory, was not substantially different from the former arsenal, except that the production of civilian products was increased. In September 1934, in order to prevent the chairman of the National People's Congress from attempting to "nationalize" the Nanjing regime, Yan Xishan turned these reorganized factories into "private" factories overnight, and placed them under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Industrial Company. Because the Northwest Industrial Company is a private enterprise under the leadership of the newly established Shanxi Public Utilities Board of Directors, in fact, it has only changed the name of the factory. For example, Renshen No. 1 Factory was renamed Northwest Locomotive Factory, Renshen No. 2 Factory was renamed Northwest Agricultural Machinery Factory and so on. Now the arsenal has a large military factory with more than 7,000 employees.

Tang Juwu definitely doesn't want such a military factory to fall into the hands of the Japanese, and there are still a large number of military talents in the military factory, Jiang Baili said, this is fine, Tang Juwu said, I have arranged for Yan Xishan where to dig a cave, first make preparations, Jiang Baili said, or you think thoughtfully, Tang Juwu said, there is no way to force the Nanjing government to resist the Japanese, only in this way will the civil war be avoided, and if we continue to fight, we will lose the country, we must now think of the worst outcome, so that we can face it calmly, Jiang Baili said, This is a protracted war, the largest war in the past 100 years, and a war for the rise of the Chinese nation.
