In general, the 10th Theater followed the establishment of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, including the 41st Group Army and the 49th, 50th, and 51st armies under its jurisdiction, which were also arranged according to the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army.

But when it came to the division-level combat unit, Xie Tian completely adopted his own name.

The 49th Army has jurisdiction over the new 101st Division, the new 102nd Division, the 111th Armored Infantry Regiment, the 121st Independent Regiment, and the 131st Rapid Reaction Brigade;

The 50th Army has jurisdiction over the new 201st Division, the new 202nd Division, the 211th Mixed Artillery Regiment, the 221st Independent Regiment, and the 231st Rapid Reaction Brigade;

Xie Tian didn't make much adjustments to the 51st Army composed of the 386th Brigade of the original Eighth Route Army, anyway, the official was promoted to two levels and secretly enjoyed himself, and Li Yunlong's independent regiment was upgraded to the integrated 301st Division, and there were not enough people to find a way to make it up by himself, and Lao Tzu didn't have any extra equipment for you now. Ding Weixin's 1st Regiment was upgraded to the 302nd Division, and Kong Jiexin's 2nd Regiment was upgraded to the 303rd Division.

To tell the truth, all the commanders and fighters of the 51st Army have a total of more than 15,000 people, and Li Yunlong's 301st Division is still a little bit like it, about 7,000 people, which can barely be regarded as a division, Ding Wei's 302nd Division has more than 4,000 people, and Kong Jie's 303rd Division has only more than 3,000 people, which is comparable to the strength of the 121st Independent Regiment and the 221st Independent Regiment, but it still bears the name of a division.

But in any case, the structure of the 10th Theater has been set up, and when Xie Tian first established the PLA, he dared to play the banner of the PLA Independent Regiment, and now he has even more confidence.

If it weren't for the fear of being feared, Xie Tian would have been able to form the 42nd and 43rd armies by pulling up the reserves.

In addition, weapons and equipment began to be insufficient, fortunately, Yan Xishan left the foundation of the arsenal in Taiyuan, although those machinery and equipment were moved by the Eighth Route Army before the fall of Taiyuan, but most of the skilled workers are still there, as long as the factory is re-established to produce weapons.

This is a big deal, Xie Tian personally supervised, starting with mining and steelmaking.

As we all know, Shanxi is a province of great resources, the ground and underground are treasures, Yan Xishan has laid a good foundation for the development of Shanxi's industrial and mining industry, when Gangcun Ningci withdrew from Taiyuan, he was worried that the destruction of these industrial facilities would attract Xie Tian's attention, if it really attracted Xie Tian's attention, I am afraid he would not be able to leave, so the industrial facilities of Taiyuan and surrounding counties and cities have been completely preserved.

Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant is located in the suburbs of Taiyuan Shihekou, Yan Xishan invested heavily in this steel plant, after the Japanese occupied Taiyuan, and then carried out a large-scale expansion of the steel plant, expanding a factory into a general plant and four branches, there are more than 50,000 workers alone, and the factory area and living area are larger than an ordinary town.

At the beginning, Yan Xishan and the Japanese both stationed heavy troops at Shihekou, but now Xie Tian has only arranged a company to be stationed, and there are only more than 200 people including the public security police.

The reserve soldiers of the steel plant already have a reinforced regiment of troops, does Xie Tian still need to send heavy troops at Shihekou?

Xie Tian and Pang Yuan, accompanied by Qi Lianping, director of the General Iron and Steel Plant, and Jin Xi, chief engineer, inspected the Iron and Steel Plant to solve the problems they were currently experiencing.

"Coal, now the steel plant is seriously short of fuel, three of the four furnaces have been stopped, and if the fuel problem is not solved within a week, the steel plant can only be stopped." Qi Lianping looked at Xie Tian and said.

Xie Tian scratched his head in pain, looked at Pang Yuan and asked, "How much potential can be tapped in the small coal kiln nearby?" ”

Pang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Basically, it's already the limit, if you increase production, I'm afraid safety can't be guaranteed." ”

Xie Tian smiled bitterly: "It seems that we still have to fight." ”

Datong and Yangquan, the two most important coal-producing areas in Shanxi, are still under the control of the Japanese army, and according to intelligence officers, the devils in Datong and Yangquan have recently started a predatory and brutal mining mode, and every day there are trains full of coal in the direction of North China.

Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian and said: "The most important thing now is that the Japanese devils can no longer transport coal out, and the railway lines and highway lines must be cut off for them." ”

Xie Tian nodded and said: "I'll go to the arsenal later, and ask them to hurry up and produce a batch of aerial bombs for me, and our three planes can raid and blow up their important highway bridges and railway bridges." ”

As he spoke, Xie Tian turned to Qi Lianping and said: "Mr. Qi, you have to hurry up and cast a batch of railroad tracks, damn it, this railway was originally blown up by Lao Tzu, and now Lao Tzu has to repair it." ”

People burst into laughter, and Jin Xi looked at Xie Tian and said with a smile: "At this time and that time, the commander-in-chief bombed the Japanese railway, and now we are building our own railway." ”

Shanxi's railways were really built by the Japanese, Yan Xishan built a narrow-gauge railway in Shanxi, and trains from other places could not enter Shanxi at all, and the Japanese consumed a lot of manpower and material resources to transform the railway into a standard-gauge normal-gauge railway, which took several years to complete completely, and now it is cheap to thank God.

Xie Tian laughed: "When the arsenal makes aerial bombs, Lao Tzu has to bomb his own railway, why is this thing so painful." ”

Qi Lianping said with a smile: "Then only by solving the Japanese quickly can we untie this knot." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Then everyone has to work together." By the way, metalworking, what do you say about that diesel engine? ”

Jin Xi stretched out his hand and pointed to the fourth factory not far away and said: "Let's go and see, it is still the engine that Yoshio Shinozuka made when he was alive, and he also specially transferred a few engineers from Japan to be responsible for the engine project, and when Gangmura Ningji escaped, he took these engineers and the Japanese technicians in the factory and all the materials with him." ”

Saying this, Jin Xi sighed: "When the Japanese do this, we Chinese will not be involved, otherwise we can greatly promote the industrial development process by getting this diesel engine out." ”

Xie Tian laughed: "If there is no Japanese pig, we will not eat hairy pigs, isn't it just a diesel engine, take me to see, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, a broken diesel engine is more difficult than an aircraft engine." ”

Pang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, he couldn't interject on the topic of technical level, but he didn't believe that Xie Tian even understood this.

The engine is a key technology for any country, and only with the engine industry can it be powered.

However, there are really no technical barriers to diesel engines for Xie Tian, as a J-10 pilot, Xie Tian even knows the engine structure of the aircraft well, not to mention the diesel engines of this era, diesel engines are everywhere in later generations, more compact, better performance, and even farmers work in the fields to drive tricycles powered by diesel engines.

Xie Tian's hometown has such a car, when there is a failure, Xie Tian repairs it himself, and the engine does not know how many times he has been unloaded, and it is really a piece of cake for him to overcome the technical barriers of a diesel engine.
