We finally arrived at the place, which is the light weapons production arsenal under the Third Group Army of the North China Security Army.
The golden signboard of Du Aiguo's commander of the third puppet regiment once again came into play.
Obviously, Du Aiguo should be a frequent visitor to this arsenal.
A group of puppet soldiers stationed outside the arsenal saw Du Aiguo and quickly put down their guns. The leader of the puppet platoon leader respectfully gave a military salute: "Sir Du!"
Du Aiguo nodded and said: "Platoon Leader Sun, you have worked hard guarding the arsenal here. I came to the arsenal this time on an important errand. The next step is to leave the garrison of the arsenal to our department. You can take your brothers back to rest."
Let’s do it!”
Platoon Leader Sun looked surprised, "Sir Du, but the order I received is to garrison the arsenal and not leave even an inch."
Hearing this, a look of displeasure appeared on Du Aiguo's face, and he frowned and said: "Platoon Leader Sun, remember your identity. Soldiers should obey orders. Besides, with the brothers I brought, are we still afraid of flying from the arsenal?"
Is it a success?"
Platoon Leader Sun was startled for a moment, and then he was relieved. Du Aiguo had brought quite a lot of troops this time. It was estimated that there would be two battalions of troops.
He didn't dare to have a conflict with Du Aiguo, and Du Aiguo was the leader of the third regiment, and his position was much higher than him.
"Yes!"
Platoon Leader Sun responded, turned around and was about to leave with his team. Du Aiguo shouted again: "Platoon Leader Sun, wait."
"Sir Du, do you have any other instructions?"
"If you go back to rest, what are you going to do with guns and ammunition? Leave the guns and ammunition behind too!"
"Ah???" Platoon Leader Sun was a little dumbfounded. There is no such rule!
Du Aiguo on the side saw Platoon Leader Sun's hesitation and said displeasedly: "Platoon Leader Sun, did you not hear the order clearly?"
Du Aiguo's words became more serious, and a group of soldiers behind him raised their guns with a clatter, and some even cocked their guns.
Platoon leader Sun and his party were frightened to death. This battle was too big.
"Brothers, everyone listen to Commander Du's order and hand over all the guns and ammunition." Platoon Leader Sun did not dare to hesitate and quickly issued the order. Dozens of puppet soldiers honestly arranged their guns and ammunition neatly and lined up again.
.
After everything was settled smoothly, Kong Jie walked out of the team under Du Aiguo's respectful avoidance.
Kong Jie directly ignored Platoon Leader Sun and others, just looked at the factories not far away, and said: "Old Du, the scale of your arsenal is not small!"
This reminded Kong Jie of the independent regiment armory he had worked so hard to build. He originally thought it was pretty good among the Eighth Route Army, but compared with the arsenal in front of him, it was simply not worth mentioning.
This trip was indeed not in vain.
Du Aiguo replied: "Captain, look at what you said, no matter what, this arsenal has to ensure the supply of guns and ammunition for thousands of people in the North China Security Army. If the factory is too small, it will definitely not be enough."
Platoon Leader Sun on the side looked confused.
Leader?
Lao Du?
What exactly is going on? Isn't Captain Du the captain? Also, why is Captain Du so respectful to this strange-faced man in front of him? This kind of respect has never been seen even in front of the Japanese.
"Sir Du, who is this?"
Du Aiguo glanced at Kong Jie, and after seeing Kong Jie nodded, he smiled and said: "Platoon Commander Sun, I forgot to introduce you. This is Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
"Eight...eight ways!"
Hearing this word, Platoon Commander Sun's eyes widened.
Behind them were a group of disarmed puppet soldiers, some of whom were even trembling with fear.
But this fright and panic were quickly "pacified" by the dark muzzles of the guns raised by the soldiers of the independent regiment.
Du Aiguo said: "Platoon Leader Sun, I might as well tell you that I have led many brothers from my Third Regiment to join Commander Kong of the Eighth Route Army. This time I came here for the arsenal. Remembering our past friendship,
I just asked you to disarm you in advance so that you wouldn’t lose your life.”
"Platoon Leader Sun, you are also a man of integrity. Why do you have to sacrifice your life for the little Japs? If you are not from my race, your heart must be different. You have also seen the brutality and ferocity of the Japs over the years. What is the so-called co-prosperity of East Asia?
But they are all hypocritical tricks."
"Now, brother, I have thought clearly. From now on, I will follow Commander Kong to kill the Japanese. I don't want to bear the reputation of being a traitor anymore."
"Also, Platoon Leader Sun, I would like to advise you that it is better to abandon the secrets and join the light earlier. Commander Kong is right in front of you. As long as you and your brothers are truly willing to join the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese, Commander Kong will not refuse." The words were touching, but things happened too suddenly.
Platoon Leader Sun was silent, with hesitation on his face.
Kong Jie ordered: "Leave one squad of brothers to have a good talk with Platoon Leader Sun and others. The others will go into the arsenal to move things. Platoon Leader Sun, I will give you so much time. When we come out of the arsenal, if you think about it,
Just follow me. If you haven't thought about it well, for Lao Du's sake, I won't make it difficult for you."
After saying that, Kong Jie went straight to the arsenal.
Du Aiguo patted Platoon Leader Sun on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother, think about it carefully. After all, the blood in our bones is Chinese. It is not worth being a dog for the little devil!"
After saying that, Du Aiguo quickly jogged to keep up with Kong Jie.
Since the arsenal in front of us was originally located in the hinterland of the Third Group Army of the North China Security Army, the troops stationed there were mainly platoon leader Sun and others on the periphery, and naturally there were no troops to guard the interior.
When Du Aiguo and Kong Jie led a large group of people into the arsenal, they shocked the director of the arsenal, Director Yuan.
"Sir Du, what are you doing?"
Director Yuan seems to be quite young, probably close to fifty, but he is in good spirits.
Kong Jie said: "Lao Du, tell him that we are here to transfer equipment in the arsenal. Let him give you a general introduction to the equipment in the arsenal."
Du Aiguo smiled, looked at the dumbfounded Factory Director Yuan and said, "Director Yuan, don't be stunned. Follow our leader's instructions and quickly introduce the equipment in our arsenal!" p>
"Captain?"
Factory Director Yuan was a little confused, but Du Aiguo and his party were outnumbered, and Platoon Leader Sun who was stationed at the arsenal didn't hear any movement. Plus, with Du Aiguo's familiar face, there should be no problem.
Factory Director Yuan led Kong Jie and Du Aiguo to introduce some of the equipment in the arsenal.
"Two sirs, the equipment of our light weapons production arsenal is mainly used to produce light firearms. There are a total of twenty-one large-scale equipment.
There are all kinds of grinding machine equipment, as well as machine tools and planer equipment over there, including some auxiliary equipment, such as diesel engines, steam engines, gasoline engines, electric welders, electric furnaces, transformers and cranes."
The names of this series of equipment made Kong Jie and the battalion commanders behind him elated. Kong Jie quickly asked: "Director Yuan, what is the current staffing structure of your arsenal?"
Director Yuan said: "There are currently 251 workers, 130 staff, and 35 technicians."
These are all talents!
Kong Jie asked again: "Director Yuan, if I change this arsenal for you, will the current production capacity be maintained?"
Director Yuan was a little confused, "Change the place, sir, I don't know what you are referring to?"
"For example, if we move to the base of our Eighth Route Army, we have agreed that we don't have large-scale power generation equipment there, so I'm afraid we won't be able to provide power," Kong Jie said bluntly.
