Thanks to Huaxuejian League Leader for the reward. I will add more thanks next month... Alas, I owe too much, I have to pay it back slowly!

Sun Erweina had no objection to Wang Xuexin's proposal.
To be precise, it's hawk sauce, so I have no problem with that.
Because cooperation should be like this. When both parties benefit, it is called cooperation. If only one party benefits, it is called selling out. It is destined not to last long.
In this regard, Yingjiang has even considered this, which is one of the reasons why they brought their own rocket launchers into China... If they want to make up for the shortcomings of their own rocket launchers, of course they must also make up for the shortcomings of the other party's rocket launchers, otherwise China will rely on
What brings the experience to you?
So Skinny pulled a list from Eagle Sauce.
In Skinner's words: "There is nothing here. They use very crude tools to produce rockets almost with their bare hands. Therefore, we first need to build a laboratory here!"
After reading the list, Sun Erwei tried to put the blame on Wang Xuexin.
"King!" Sun Erwei said: "The laboratory is a big expense, including instruments, tools, some parts and raw materials, etc. This is not in our plan! We estimate that it will cost at least three hundred thousand US dollars!"
"You mean..." Wang Xuexin asked: "We will pay for this expense?"
"Isn't it supposed to be like this?" Sun Erwei asked back: "We are responsible for transportation, what do you think? You know, in this situation, transportation is not a small expense!"
This is true.
If it is shipped from India and Myanmar, it will have to be transferred several times on the way from Eagle Sauce, not to mention the coastline is blocked, so the final freight may be more expensive than the equipment itself.
But Wang Xuexin doesn't care about this.
"This is your problem, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We don't need any laboratory. My suggestion is that Captain Skinner learns from us how to make rockets by hand, and then there will be no problem. This is not as bad as imagined.
Difficult, what do you think?"
Sun Erwei was silent for a while, and could only reply helplessly: "Okay, you will get a laboratory!"
This is the helplessness of the cooperation between industrial countries and agricultural countries. As the saying goes, "people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes." Our Eighth Route Army is poor and has nothing, so we are still afraid of your eagle sauce? You, Sun Erwei, should have had the ideological awareness to suffer in this regard.
Until then, the relationship between Wang Xuexin and Sun Erwei came to an end.
Since all the general problems have been solved, the correspondent can just stay on the radio to report any remaining issues. Therefore, Wang Xuexin is now free and does not have to guard the radio.
The next day, Wang Xuexin took time to go to Qiling Mountain with the troops.
Qiling Mountain is called Qiling Mountain because the seven mountains are winding and connected to each other.
This Qiling Mountain was just right to be used as the Sixth Branch Factory for the Eighth Route Army.
The reason is that the Sixth Branch Factory has five rifle production lines and one bullet production line, plus a chemical factory that produces gunpowder, which just divides these seven mountains.
Wang Xuexin's fifth battalion was assigned to the fifth mountain ridge, and the sixth and seventh mountains were taken over by the engineering battalion.
When Wang Xuexin went to the mountain and took a look, he saw that it looked really impressive:
The road connecting the mountain to the outside has been repaired, which can facilitate the transportation of materials needed by the arsenal into the arsenal, and cars can be driven directly into the cave and unloaded safely in the cave.
Several mountain roads are also used to communicate between the mountains, which can be used to transport raw materials and supplies, and can also transport troops to support each other in emergencies.
The caves are being excavated one after another, using a mountain hoe. After the space is dug, it is supported by logs. Then ventilation, accommodation, toilets, etc. are all provided, and they are also numbered, such as 501, 502... the first one
The number is the mountain code, and what follows is the cave number.
Xie Baoqing has not gone down the mountain for more than half a month.
This was partly because he had lived in a cave with his men when he was in Heiyun Village, so he could reminisce about his previous life.
On the other hand, it was because he was in a hurry to complete the task and thought that wasting time on the road would be better off sleeping on the mountain and doing some work. Just ask someone to bring more food the next day.
As soon as Xie Baoqing saw Wang Xuexin coming up, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Batalion Commander, you are finally here. There are many things waiting for you to make the decision!"
At this time, Xie Baoqing had been promoted to deputy battalion commander by Wang Xuexin.
In fact, not only Xie Baoqing, but also the entire fifth battalion was deployed with the seventh company as its backbone: the commander of the thirteenth company was Hu Zi, the commander of the fourteenth company was Zhang Qingcai, and only the commander of the fifteenth company was Zhu Zhenjiang, the former commander of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
This does not mean that we do not believe in the Jinsui Army, nor does it mean that the Jinsui Army is incapable of fighting.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment is quite good, which can be seen from previous battles.
The problem is that they have now joined the Eighth Route Army and have many disciplines, tactics and habits that need to be transferred from those of the Jinsui Army, so they are more suitable to be trained by the company commanders of the former Eighth Route Army.
Wang Xuexin even mixed the troops.
The practice of mixing is not uniform among the battalions. For example, Shen Quan and Guan Dashan believe that mixing should not occur. They believe that many conflicts may arise after the troops are mixed, and it is also inconvenient for training and education... For example, a certain company is all from
The Jin-Sui Army can easily concentrate on training and learning discipline.
Wang Xuexin didn't think so.
He felt that although this would indeed reduce a lot of trouble in the early stage, it would also form barriers between companies that were difficult to break. There would indeed be fewer conflicts between soldiers, but conflicts between companies would always exist.
It may even become more and more obvious and eventually even intensify.
This is also the reason why modern troops are usually transferred to serve in other troops when they are promoted, in order to avoid the formation of small interest groups within the army. Once such small groups are formed, it is difficult to break.
Wang Xuexin disrupted the troops from the beginning. Every company, every platoon, every squad and even every group was a mixture of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Wang Xuexin paid special attention to Zhang Qingcai's third row.
The reason is that there are too few marksmen in the Eighth Route Army who are accurate in marksmanship, and if they want to train sharpshooters, they cannot do so because of insufficient bullets. Therefore, the dozens of sharpshooters in the third row are treated like treasures and are dispersed to various companies as fire cover units.
Wang Xuexin only gave plans for these things, and Xie Baoqing, the deputy battalion commander, did all the big and small things.
In other words, the person who served as the battalion commander during this period was actually Xie Baoqing.
"Thank you!" Wang Xuexin praised while looking at the cave dug by the soldiers: "You are more capable than me. You can make up your mind on anything. I don't know what to do if you leave me alone!"
What Wang Xuexin said is true. Xie Baoqing, a bandit-turned-guy, is really an expert at digging caves.
But Xie Baoqing said: "Batalion Commander, that's not what you're talking about. It's Zhu Zhenjiang, the commander of the 15th company!"
"What's wrong?" Wang Xuexin asked doubtfully, "Did he commit a crime?"
