"Come on, brigade commander, take a look. This is what Chief of Staff Han asked me to give to the commander. It is the first batch of civilian equipment produced by the repair shop."
The regiment leader carried several large boxes and came to the brigade commander. Of course, the things he handed over had to be handed in step by step. The location of the leader was the top secret, so of course it couldn't be careless.
"Come on, let's take a look. What the hell have you guys done recently? What is this little box?"
In the small box are ten lighters neatly, the brass shells look shiny after being pickled.
"This is a foreign match made by us with brass bullet shells. No, it should be said to be a lighter. Foreigners used to make it, but now we make it ourselves, and it belongs to us!"
The leader of the group was very proud as he spoke. Although he hadn't gotten one yet, it didn't stop him from being proud for a while.
"Okay, this is our own lighter, it will cheer you up!"
"What are the remaining big boxes?"
The brigade commander couldn't put it down when he saw these ten lighters, but of course the first batch of good things had to be handed over, and he also knew the importance.
"These are kerosene lamps we made ourselves. There are a hundred of them. I have tried them all, and they are exactly the same as those made in foreign countries. Originally, I wanted to add an automatic ignition device, but after the experiment, I felt that they were not that safe.
Okay, so I didn’t add it.”
The regiment leader took out a glass lampshade and a kerosene lamp, combined them and showed them to the brigade commander. However, there was no kerosene in the kerosene lamp, so there was no way to demonstrate.
"Okay, does this mean we won't need oil lamps from now on and will just use brighter kerosene lamps!"
The brigade commander wants even more. These are all good things. He still has an oil lamp on his desk, and he can only light a big light at night.
"Your Chief of Staff Han is still very capable. This thing is becoming more and more sophisticated. I think if he is given enough conditions, I am afraid he can still make an airplane."
This is actually a bit too high-minded for Hancheng. An airplane will definitely not be built because the technical content is too high. Unless you have a keyboard strapped to your body, you won’t be able to get the technology together.
"What do you plan to do with these things? You can't simply send them to the chief, right?"
"Comrade Han Cheng said that the army should not only reduce expenditure, but also increase revenue, so that the people in the base area can live better than in the city. This is not only for the Japanese devils, but also for the friendly forces, and at the same time it is also for its own industrial strength.
A manifestation of.”
In fact, talking about industrial strength is a bit too much, but now the labor cost is really low. If the labor cost was too high, Hancheng would not do such a mess. Relying on the vast number of soldiers, the efficiency can be made up for by manpower.
Possibly reduce the gap between regional armies and the Japanese army.
A simple kerosene lamp does not mean that it does not come without some conditions. Assembly operations and tolerances have already begun to be instilled in these illiterate workers. As long as follow-up training can keep up, they will soon be a group of skilled technical workers.
"Okay, where are the things? I'll take them away. Let Comrade Han Cheng make another batch of kerosene lamps. I have to enjoy such good things!"
The brigade commander is definitely greedy. In addition to lighters, he still dares to use kerosene lamps. This technology has a slightly lower technical content and can be provided to them at any time. After all, this is something for sale. The technical content is not high, and it is easy to imitate.
It just depends on whether they have that much time.
"This is our group's plan. Let me show it to you. These are some of our ideas and opinions, which need approval from our superiors."
Making money definitely requires approval. If the base area wants to develop, it cannot develop without a large amount of food and money. Money is not Japanese counterfeit money, but gold and U.S. dollars. Legal currencies are not accepted now.
I'm sorry, the price has dropped so much.
Let's put it this way, in enemy-occupied areas, it is no longer possible to use legal currency for purchases. All legal currency must be exchanged for counterfeit banknotes to buy things, but the amount of counterfeit banknotes given to you is not a fixed amount, and counterfeit banknotes are not circulated in Kuomintang-controlled areas.
So I can't buy anything at all.
As a result, the counterfeit banknotes were directly exchanged for grain, and the price of everything was set, and how much grain was exchanged for how many things. Counterfeit banknotes can be fake, but the grain cannot be said to be fake.
"The plan has been thought out, let me take a look!"
In fact, the purpose of Hancheng is also to collect food. The Japanese food and goods have begun to invade the county. The Japanese food is actually the food captured from the US military aid. They have no psychological burden. Now that they have enough food, they can sell it.
go out.
All the flour collected from Japan was sent to the Kuomintang District and replaced with coarse grains. One pound of white flour can be exchanged for four and a half pounds of rice bran. These are all good things. Why do we need to prepare now, because Huayuankou will be dug up soon.
By then, there will be disaster victims everywhere.
"Why are you collecting so much food? Are you going to fight?"
"No, Comrade Han Cheng said that we should use food to attract more people to come to the rear and fight against Japan together. It is a pity that no one is cultivating such a large land, so we must attract people to develop our control area."
In fact, when you don't know it, you will realize how tight time is. There is no railway transportation, no road transportation, everything depends on a donkey cart or horse-drawn carriage. Hundreds of kilograms of grain at a time, people on the road
If a person eats horse chews, the loss is still quite large.
"Did I hear that you are preparing another army of sharpshooters? You also asked Chief of Staff Han to help you raise your troops. You are very good at planning!"
How could the brigade commander not know about the regiment commander's plan? The political commissar would come and report every time. The troop movements and some plans of the third regiment are quite useful for other troops.
"No, Chief of Staff Han has a way. I just know how to let them shoot. If it's training as a sharpshooter, Chief of Staff Han has the ability. You know the eight soldiers he trained, just with a gun in his hand,
That is the special unit that shoots wherever you point it! Ordinary soldiers can shoot at one to two hundred meters, or two to three hundred meters. People's guns can aim fast and shoot fast. They can shoot at four to five hundred meters, and two to three hundred meters.
It can also be shot with rice, and with that small mirror, a soldier really killed a machine gunner from a distance of 600 meters."
"See how much of an advantage you have taken? You can use the sharpshooters as you like. If it were me, I wouldn't let you use these eight people. It would be a waste for you to use them."
The brigade commander complained while talking. Although he had never seen it before, he also noticed this eight-man team during the battle report.
"The only pity is that the third battalion does not have the weapons to attack fortresses. Otherwise, it would be very useful if they were assigned to attack gun towers."
"The troops of the third battalion have a very clear goal. They are to provide fire support and precise killings. It is a waste to attack any turrets. If they are given a good opportunity, believe it or not, they can kill all the officers of a small team!"
The brigade commander felt that the force structure of this battalion was quite clear. It did not carry heavy firepower, but light firepower provided output and could be transferred quickly. However, it was a waste to fall into the hands of his third regiment, a waste of troops and a waste of talents.
