On this day, Wang Xuexin just received the second batch of fifty engineer shovels, and he immediately sent the engineer shovels down to start training.
Snipers are in urgent need of these engineer shovels. When the first batch of engineer shovels arrive, everyone will have one immediately, and the remaining ten will be given to the squad leader. After the squad leader gets used to it, he will teach the soldiers.
Therefore, the soldiers were prepared to receive it and got started quickly.
There is no doubt that this multifunctional engineering shovel is very popular among soldiers. Even because the confidentiality work was not done well, the news spread, so that other troops rushed to get it from Li Yunlong.
To be precise, it was not that the confidentiality work was not done well, but that when Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, passed by Honggou Village, he took a look inside with a telescope and discovered the engineer shovel being used for training.
Zhang Dabiao watched the soldiers of the reconnaissance company swinging their engineering shovels up to houses and trees. He felt envious and turned back to find Li Yunlong.
"Commander!" Zhang Dabiao asked Li Yunlong, who was looking at the defense map: "Can you tell me, is my battalion still considered the main battalion?"
"Nonsense!" Li Yunlong replied without raising his head: "If you don't count the main camp, who else counts as the main camp?"
"Since the First Battalion is the main battalion!" Zhang Dabiao asked again: "We have to endure hardships and fight. This is a life-threatening job! Do you think this equipment should be given priority to the First Battalion?"
Li Yunlong raised his head and glanced at Zhang Dabiao: "Speaking of Zhang Dabiao, when did the equipment of the independent regiment lose one battalion of yours? You got the advantage of your motherfucker and acted like a good boy. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I don't have time to wait for you!
"
Zhang Dabiao immediately came up and said: "Captain, what you said is wrong. I passed by Honggou Village today, and the reconnaissance company was climbing up and down with something. It was like walking on flat ground. We saw
I’ve never seen it before, let alone the equipment!”
After saying this, Li Yunlong understood that Zhang Dabiao was thinking about the reconnaissance company.
"I'm talking about Zhang Dabiao!" Li Yunlong replied: "We have to make this clear in person. That equipment was made by Xiao Dongbei himself for the reconnaissance company to use. Why are you so greedy? Why are you so greedy?
Want to equip a battalion? You have to be capable and use your brains to come up with some useful equipment. I guarantee that others won’t be jealous either!”
When Li Yunlong said this to Zhang Dabiao, he was speechless.
He had previously thought that this was equipment obtained from the Independent Regiment or assigned by superiors. Unexpectedly, it was developed by Xiao Dongbei himself... If he was thinking about this, it would be unreasonable.
Perhaps the arsenal found manpower to expand production.
In fact, the scale of production was indeed expanded. The reason was that the chief wanted to use this kind of engineering shovel to equip the guerrillas, so the demand increased exponentially, which forced Zhang Wanhe and Na to recruit more manpower.
In the past, if it was a small-scale production, only a few people would do it slowly, which could save as much manpower as possible.
Now that mass production is needed, it is necessary to teach more people to produce this kind of engineering shovel.
So the second batch of fifty took only two days, and even formed a complete process: one part made the spade surface, another part made the handle, and then there was the sawing and sharpening part, and it was quickly formed
a production chain.
After receiving the second batch of engineering shovels, Wang Xuexin divided them into five equal parts per class.
The reason is that ordinary soldiers do not have as urgent a need for engineer shovels as snipers. They are more used for marching or climbing in mountainous areas. One or two per squad is enough.
At this time, the correspondent rode up to Wang Xuexin and shouted: "Captain Wang, Adjutant Sun, Captain Wei, the regimental commander wants you to go there!"
Wang Xuexin vaguely felt that this was a mission, otherwise the three of them would not have shouted at the same time.
But I think it won’t be so soon. It’s only been just over a week since the reconnaissance company was established, and it’s about to go on a mission?
But Wang Xuexin really guessed it.
The three of them rushed to the regiment headquarters in Honggou Mountain. As soon as they walked into the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong asked: "How is it? The reconnaissance company is almost trained!"
Wang Xuexin and Sun Ming looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Captain, it's only been nine days!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Can it be almost the same?"
Li Yunlong smiled "hehe" and said: "Didn't we just want to use those batches of assault machines? Now that we have this opportunity, you can decide whether to use it or not!"
Wang Xuexin asked back: "Captain, can you not go up?"
"No!" Li Yunlong replied simply.
"That's enough!" Wang Xuexin grinned. What else could he ask?
Li Yunlong didn't care about this. He came up and said cheerfully: "I mean, Xiao Dongbei, we have caught a big fish this time. You can't let go at this critical moment. Do you know what the goal of this mission is?"
"What? Japs headquarters? Or a special agent team!" Wang Xuexin asked.
Li Yunlong shook his head and said with a smile: "You look down on people too much! Our independent regiment can deal with these things, and there is no need to offend the reconnaissance company!"
This is Li Yunlong's habit. He likes to talk big when he is happy.
The monk was so excited by Li Yunlong that he rubbed his hands and asked: "Captain, if you have anything to say, just say it. What's the big fish?"
Zhao Gang responded from the side: "Airport!"
"Fly...to the airport!" The monk's eyes immediately lit up, and then he swallowed hard: "Good guy, is it that thing that flies in the sky?"
"Yes!" Li Yunlong nodded: "We can't do anything about them when they are flying in the sky, but when they are on the ground, they are our food!"
Sun Ming frowned, as if he thought this "fish" was too big.
Wang Xuexin is a little strange.
Didn't the airport have rocket launchers to deal with it? How come the reconnaissance company was involved?
"That's it!" Zhao Gang came over with a map, pointed on the map and explained: "The headquarters originally expected that the Japanese would set up an airport in Yuncheng, so they had a plan to build an airport in Yuncheng. But unexpectedly, the Japanese were here
There is also an airport in Beixiang Village.”
Wang Xuexin understood after hearing this. It turns out that there are two airports. This can be said to be his miscalculation.
Zhao Gang straightened up, frowned and said: "These two airports are likely to cause a lot of trouble to Zhongtiao Mountain. The headquarters estimates that planes taking off from here will bomb the Yellow River ferry south of Zhongtiao Mountain and block the transportation and supply lines of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Therefore, destroying these two airports is our army’s best reinforcement for Zhongtiao Mountain! The mission is very important!”
Sun Ming looked at Zhao Gang with disbelief.
He couldn't believe his ears.
The Eighth Route Army... actually planned to attack the airport to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain!
When Chongqing secretly cooperated with the Japanese to plunder the Eighth Route Army, when they built artillery towers to block the base area, when they tried every means to divert disaster to the flanks of the Eighth Route Army...
Are you still thinking about reinforcing Zhongtiao Mountain?
This shock to Sun Ming's heart was indescribable, and at the same time, his stance on the Jin army wavered for the first time.
