Xu Dalong said: "General Fu, brother, I personally have no objection, but I have to report this matter to my superiors. Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to fight for it."
General Fu was very happy and said: "Well, brother Dalong, I will wait for your good news."
General Fu was a generous man, and he also understood Xu Dalong's virtues. After the battle, he gave most of the captured Japanese weapons and equipment to Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong, and also gave them 200,000 yuan, as well as some
Weapons and ammunition equipped by the fruit army.
At this time, Xu Dalong had received news from Zhang Wanhe that the Anti-Japanese Army Zheng Dalong had canceled his transfer order.
So he and Li Yunlong said goodbye to General Fu and the generals at the Zhongtiao Mountain Command, and returned to the Mawu Mountain base.
In order to cancel the transfer order sent from the north of Shaanxi, Zhang Wanhe and the commander were of great help this time. In order to express his gratitude, Xu Dalong brought 200,000 yuan and a large number of weapons and equipment to the Taihang Mountain base area and handed them over to the commander.
Member and Zhang Wanhe.
The commander and Zhang Wanhe were very happy and believed that their efforts to retain Xu Dalong were definitely worth their money.
Xu Dalong, accompanied by Zhang Wanhe, went to the arsenal. Under his guidance, the steel output of the newly built steelmaking blast furnace exceeded one and a half times the original. This alone won the admiration of the engineering and technical personnel of the arsenal.
The director of the arsenal was very satisfied with the bullet production line that Xu Dalong had acquired. He and Zhang Wanhe hosted a banquet for Xu Dalong. They hoped that if Xu Dalong had the opportunity in the future, he would seize some machine tool equipment for the arsenal, which would help them further improve the production conditions of the arsenal.
Xu Dalong hoped that the Eighth Route Army would have a powerful arsenal that could produce more weapons and ammunition, thus reducing its reliance on seizures.
He promised wholeheartedly, saying that he would inquire about this situation when he returned to the Mawushan base area, and then sent a special force to solve the problem of machine tool equipment for the arsenal.
The director of the arsenal has long heard that Xu Dalong always keeps his word. Since he agreed, he will definitely be able to help the arsenal acquire these machine tools and equipment.
He was very excited and kept toasting to Xu Dalong. He didn't drink much, so he got so drunk that he sat down on the ground halfway through the drink.
Zhang Wanhe had a lot to talk to Xu Dalong, so he asked someone to help the director of the arsenal, and they continued drinking and chatting.
Zhang Wanhe said: "Brother Dalong, what Director Li of the arsenal said is also the problem I want to solve the most. Our Eighth Route Army has so many troops, and the scale of the arsenal is too small. If the output of this ammunition is distributed, it will have a negative impact on the entire Eighth Route Army.
As far as the troops are concerned, it has no effect at all.
I have an idea. The terrain conditions of the Huangyadong Arsenal are very good now. We can send troops to continue to expand in the cave, enough to accommodate a medium-sized arsenal. I want to further increase investment in the arsenal and expand the arsenal to be able to produce products for our Eighth Route Army troops.
More weapons and ammunition. We have to ask Brother Dalong for help with this matter."
Xu Dalong said: "Minister Zhang, please don't worry about this. I have the same idea as you. When I go back, I will find a way to help you get the equipment you need for the arsenal. I plan to contact Chongqing. The entrusted relationship is
The arsenal will recruit a group of military technical backbones. If possible, set up a bullet production line."
Zhang Wanhe said happily: "Brother Dalong, you are really a friend, and you also have this ability. Then brother, I will wait for your good news."
After leaving the arsenal, Zhang Wanhe accompanied Xu Dalong to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
After meeting the commander, Zhang Wanhe told him that he wanted to expand the Huangyadong arsenal, hoping that the commander would agree. Xu Dalong would focus on helping to expand the arsenal in the next stage.
The ability to expand the arsenal is of course what the commander wishes.
He said: "Minister Zhang, I agree with you. Xu Dalong, when you go back, make arrangements for the Mawushan Military Division, and focus on helping the arsenal expand.
You don’t have to ask me for instructions on what to do or where to go.”
Zhang Wanhe saw that the commander supported the work of the Logistics Department and said happily: "Thank you commander for your strong support. You can rest assured that in the future, weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal will be given priority to the troops of the Taiyue Military Region."
After Xu Dalong returned to the Mawushan base area, he conveyed the instructions of Zhang Wanhe and the commander, saying that in the future, he would focus on helping the Logistics Department expand the arsenal, while Li Yunlong and Li Yunlong would be troubled by the matters of the Mawushan Military Division.
Zhao Gang and others took a lot of trouble.
Li Yunlong said: "Zhang Wan and this guy didn't take enough advantage, that guy got so many benefits from us, and this is not enough.
Brother Dalong, the commander's instructions must still be implemented. Zhao Zhengwei and I will be responsible for the affairs of the base area. Feel free to do what you need to do, but there is one thing I want to remind you: help Zhang Wanhe
That guy goes to get what he wants, you have to shoot the rabbits and get some benefits for us."
Zhao Gang also agreed with Li Yunlong's opinion and said: "The arsenal of our military division needs to strengthen its technical strength. While you are helping the arsenal of the Logistics Department, you can also bring back some equipment and technical backbones for our arsenal."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commissioner, Commissioner Zheng, you are still here complaining that Minister Zhang is a money addict. I think you two are no less money obsessed than him now."
Li Yunlong said: "It's different, these are two different things. To our military division, Zhang Wanhe is an outsider, and all the benefits are given to him, so we can't take advantage. We still need to make more money for our military division.
This is the serious thing.”
Zhao Gang also said: "That's right, I agree with Lao Li. If you want to go out, don't come back empty-handed. Haha."
Xu Dalong knew that these two men were joking with him. The two of them, especially Zhao Gang, had a strong overall view. They not only hoped that the Mawushan Military Division would have a good life, but also hoped that the entire Eighth Route Army would have sufficient supplies.
Supply of weapons and ammunition. To defeat the Japs, it is not enough to rely on the Mawushan Military Division alone. Only when the entire Eighth Route Army becomes stronger can the Japs be finally driven away.
In order to solve the problem of expanding the arsenal, Xu Dalong called Lin Xueying and asked her to return to Chongqing. Through her father's relationship and Xu Dalong's contacts accumulated in Chongqing, he would build one or two bullet production lines and recruit a group of engineering and technical personnel.
, and buy some more machine tools.
Lin Xueying promised, saying that she would try her best to complete the tasks assigned by Xu Dalong.
Soon after, she headed for Chongqing under the escort of a special operations unit.
Xu Dalong also called Zheng Xirong, the captain of the intelligence brigade, and asked him to inquire about information about engineering technicians and machine tool equipment.
In addition, Xu Dalong also sent telegrams to Kong Jie and Ding Wei, asking them to inquire about relevant information around their base area.
Kong Jie and Ding Wei like to deal with Xu Dalong the most. As long as they cooperate with Xu Dalong, they will definitely gain a lot. They have long been looking forward to Xu Dalong coming to join them in fighting the Japanese army. After receiving Xu Dalong's telegram, they immediately
A large number of scouts were sent to enemy-occupied areas to collect relevant intelligence.
The officers and soldiers of Kong Jie's Sixth Army Division are generally not well educated. Kong Jie, including Kong Jie, is not clear about the equipment or engineering and technical personnel required for the arsenal. The scouts who want to find out the information have no idea.
What to inquire about.
However, this was not a problem for Kong Jie. He specially transferred a cultural officer who had attended university from the military region's agencies and asked him to come to the Taihang Mountain base area to go to the arsenal to learn relevant knowledge and then teach it to the scouts and the troops.
The leaders of each county brigade asked them to search for information related to machine tool equipment and engineering and technical personnel in accordance with the requirements of the arsenal.
The hard work paid off, and not long after, Kong Jie really got accurate news.
In Qamdo County, near the Sixth Army Division, there is a Japanese-owned machinery processing factory, which has a lot of machine tool equipment and many engineering and technical talents who have attended university.
Kong Jie immediately sent this information to Xu Dalong and invited Xu Dalong to come over and seize these machine tools and equipment and engineering and technical personnel. The troops of the Sixth Army Division would fully cooperate. He also said that he had prepared a banquet and welcomed Xu Dalong as a guest.
Xu Dalong really missed Kong Jie, so he decided to go to Kong Jie's place.
After all, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Zhang Dabiao had worked together with Kong Jie in the same regiment. When they heard that Xu Dalong was going to see Kong Jie, they all asked him to say hello to Kong Jie.
Li Yunlong has a better relationship with Kong Jie. Even though he was so clear with Kong Jie about the matter of the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, there was nothing he could do about it. Who made the Independent Regiment so poor? For the sake of the Cavalry Battalion
I had to compete with Kong Jie for that bit of equipment.
Now that Li Yunlong was wealthy, he wanted to help his old comrades. He specifically ordered Xu Dalong to bring some more weapons and equipment to Kong Jie this time, especially the newly produced rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless rifles.
Xu Dalong also had this intention. He knew that this was Kong Jie's favorite gift.
Hearing Li Yunlong talk about the rocket launcher and the 82mm recoilless rifle, Zhao Gang said: "General Fu from Zhongtiao Mountain sent people to send money and supplies, and also took the rocket launcher and the 82mm recoilless rifle.
.
The person leading the team asked me to discuss it with you. The batch they purchased is a bit small. Let’s see if we can find a way to help the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain get another batch. The price can be easily negotiated.”
After the last battle, Xu Dalong agreed to sell some new weapons to Zhongtiao Mountain.
This time, the people they came inspected the goods on the spot, and after test firing, they thought that these two weapons were powerful, easy to use, and really rare melee weapons, so they expressed the hope to buy more.
