Chapter 373 Chatting with the Commander-in-Chief

The Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiments Battle was in full swing. Due to the large number of weapons and ammunition provided by Zhang Yunfei, the Japanese were caught off guard in the first few days.

Since the Japanese did not expect that in their eyes, they were just a group of Eighth Route Army troops, who dared to launch a frontal attack on themselves.

In just a few days, the Japanese were killed and injured tens of thousands. The main railways and highways on the land of North China were basically destroyed, most of the bridges were blown up, and the Japanese were paralyzed.

The Eighth Route Army's participating troops have grown from more than 20 regiments on the first day to more than 100 regiments and nearly 300,000 troops. Some district squads, county brigades, and some militia organizations have also been involved in the battle.

From the first day, the Japanese discovered that something was wrong. Okamura Yasuji, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, convened many Japanese devils to discuss countermeasures.

But the Japanese have never encountered such a style of fighting. The Japanese may be able to fight a strategic decisive battle and carry out a sweep, but now facing the Eighth Route Army troops and launching such a large comprehensive attack in such a vast area, the Japanese cannot come up with any good countermeasures for the time being.

In the end, there was no good way, so Okamura Yasuji had to order all troops to hide in major towns and concentrate their superior forces to find the Eighth Route Army to fight to the decisive battle.

However, the Eighth Route Army adhered to the principle of fighting if you can win and running if you can't win if you can. The Japanese's response method has little effect.

It took at least nearly ten days before the Japanese were slowly getting used to it, but at this time, many of the Japanese traffic lines were paralyzed. The Japanese also suffered many casualties.

Therefore, when Zhang Yunfei led his troops to restore Beiyuan County, the Japanese were busy dealing with the full attack of the Eighth Route Army troops. The Japanese senior officials basically did not notice Zhang Yunfei's actions.

It was already the end of November when Zhang Yunfei and his party returned to Guojiayu, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, accompanied by Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Yunfei and his party. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Guojiayu Village, Zhang Yunfei, from afar, saw dozens of people, including the commander-in-chief, and the deputy commander-in-chief, and others, greeted him there.

From a distance, Zhang Yunfei jumped off his horse and walked quickly towards the commander-in-chief and others. After several meters away, Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and shouted loudly: "Boss, you came to the entrance of the village to greet him in person. Yunfei really can't afford it."

The commander-in-chief laughed, held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly, and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Yunfei, you have helped us so much in this Hundred Regiments Battle. I'm totally right to come to the entrance of the village to greet you."

Seeing that the commander-in-chief is approachable, Zhang Yunfei also smiled: "Boss, don't worry about it at all."

"Comrade Yunfei, you are too modest. With so many weapons and equipment, why is it Xiaobian?" The commander-in-chief smiled. "Let's go, Comrade Yunfei, let's go to the headquarters, we have a good gathering and have a chat."

This time, Zhang Yunfei supported so many weapons and ammunition. For the Eighth Route Army, which was short of ammunition, it was a timely help. This batch of weapons and ammunition came too timely and importantly.

When I heard that Zhang Yunfei had such a big move, the commander-in-chief, who was far away in Yan'an, rushed back to Guojiayu without stopping. The commander-in-chief was very happy and admired Zhang Yunfei very much.

The commander-in-chief believed that Zhang Yunfei, a comrade, had no division of the Eighth Route Army and the 36th Army at this time. In the heart of the commander-in-chief, Zhang Yunfei was also selfless.

Lian, the chairman who was in Yan'an, heard that Zhang Yunfei had supported such a large number of weapons and ammunitions in the Eighth Route Army, was very happy to praise him. Comrade Yunfei was good.

The commander-in-chief and Zhang Yunfei and his party arrived at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army not long after. As soon as everyone was seated, the commander-in-chief said happily: "Comrade Yunfei, are you still used to these ten days?"

Zhang Yunfei smiled with gratitude and said, "Boss, thank you for your concern. I feel pretty good these days."

"Okay, that's good. Comrade Yun Fei launched the Hundred Regiments Battle this time, which achieved good results and gave the Japanese a heavy blow. The Japanese are now in a state of great anxiety." The commander-in-chief said happily.

Zhang Yunfei was also very happy, and Zhang Yunfei quickly praised: "This is great. Now, the Japanese finally tasted the power of our Eighth Route Army."

Upon hearing this, many of the Eighth Route Army comrades next to them were all happy, even the deputy commander-in-chief was no exception.

The commander-in-chief also said happily: "Yes, the Japanese are afraid that they will never dare to call us Tu Eighth Route Army again."

After saying that, the commander-in-chief laughed.

After laughing happily, the commander-in-chief continued: "Comrade Yunfei, this time, with the support of your 36th Army, a large number of weapons and ammunition, we are preparing for a long-term battle in this 100-regiment battle. This time, we must completely eliminate the spirit of the Japanese."

After hearing the commander-in-chief, Zhang Yunfei nodded. According to Zhang Yunfei's understanding of history, this Hundred Regiments Battle should have achieved good results, at least not worse than the Hundred Regiments Battle in history.

Seeing the two of them having a good conversation, the deputy commander-in-chief next to him also said with a look of spring breeze: "Boss, I am full of confidence in our 100th Regiment Battle this time. This time, not only did Commander-in-Chief Zhang support our large number of weapons and ammunition, but our Huangyadong Arsenal is also being expanded. At this current speed, in just one month, our first bullet production line will be put into production. In less than half a year, all of our other production lines will be put into production."

Since the Hundred Regiments Battle is underway and bullets are consumed every day, the first production line for Huangyadong Arsenal is the bullet production line.

The equipment on the bullet production line is ready-made. Two days ago, the equipment on the bullet production line had been transported to Huangyadong from the Datong Machinery Equipment Factory, and there were also many technical personnel accompanying him.

The factory building where the bullet production line is installed is about to be completed. It is estimated that the equipment will be installed and debugged in a few days, and one month is enough to produce the first batch of bullets.

The remaining production lines, such as the Mauser 98k rifle production line, Czech machine gun production line, grenade production line, etc., some production equipment has been completed, and some equipment is still manufactured at Datong Machinery Equipment Factory.

In the huge basin outside Huangya Cave, several large factories are also being built at a rapid pace. There is still a big difference between factories of this era and modern factories.

The factory buildings of this era are much simpler than modern factory buildings. They are basically brick and tile structures, only one floor high, and the beams on the top of the factory are still wood. Factory buildings with this structure are basically the mainstream of factory buildings in this era.

As for the huge factory buildings with steel frame structures, they are only available in Datong. Now the newly built factories in Huangyadong Arsenal are basically of this kind of brick and tile structure, because the production of Huangyadong Arsenal is basically light weapons, and this kind of factory building is enough.

Because this factory building is simple, the Eighth Route Army has built it very quickly. The first factory building took only a few days to be completed, and now it is starting to cover the tiles.

As long as this factory is built, the first 6.5mm bullet production line will enter the factory for installation and commissioning. This time, many experts and technicians came from Datong. I believe that it will be the first bullet in no time.

When two 7.92mm bullet production lines are put into production, the Eighth Route Army will slowly bid farewell to the history of reloading bullets, and the vast majority of Eighth Route Army soldiers will use bullets produced by their own arsenals with excellent quality.

The commander-in-chief knew something about the Huangyadong Arsenal. After Zhang Yunfei made a statement to the deputy commander-in-chief that he agreed to support the Huangyadong Arsenal, the deputy commander-in-chief sent a report to the commander-in-chief who was far away in Yan'an to report the happy event.

However, some specific matters were not explained clearly in the telegram. The deputy commander-in-chief planned to report in detail to the commander-in-chief at that time. Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief just came back and met Zhang Yunfei immediately. Some details about the Huangyadong Arsenal were not available for detailed reports.

Now, the commander-in-chief saw the first bullet production line and could produce bullets in just one month. Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief was overjoyed and said a little unbelievably: "Old Peng, is this true? If this is the case, for us, it will solve a big problem for us."

Mr. Peng didn't expect the commander-in-chief to be so happy. The current commander-in-chief was very happy just as he heard Zhang Yunfei agreeing to help expand the Huangya Cave Arsenal.

Mr. Peng thought to himself that the matter of Huangya Cave has not been reported in detail to the commander-in-chief. He simply mentioned it in the telegram. If the commander-in-chief heard the specific content, would he be very excited?

However, now is a good opportunity, so Mr. Peng thought for a while and planned to report to the commander-in-chief about the Huangyadong Arsenal.

So, Mr. Peng smiled and said happily: "Boss, I haven't had time to report to you in detail about our Huangyadong Arsenal. This time I happened to report to you.

....................................

Today I can only update two times.

I originally wrote three chapters today, but the next chapter was written in the unit. After writing, the shell was not copied into the USB flash drive I carried in time. I usually copied it before I got off work, but it was still 40 minutes away from get off work. The unit was out of power, and now I got it.

This chapter is still a copy of the saved script in USB. I posted it first, and then there is about half a chapter in USB. Beike quickly finished writing it and sent the second chapter to it later.

I am really sorry to everyone. I will definitely update three times tomorrow, and I will definitely update three times. Please see the performance of Beike. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
Chapter completed!
