The deputy chief of staff's eyes immediately started to shine.
He stared at the deputy commander and asked: "Boss, where do you plan to ask the heavy artillery battalion to reinforce?"
"The division closest to them." The deputy commander made a decisive decision.
Then he began to issue orders: "Immediately give orders to the garrison, heavy artillery battalion, and air defense battalion to secretly reinforce Commander Yang. I want them to cooperate with Commander Yang to fight a large-scale annihilation battle in the first division and severely damage the Japanese and puppet mopping up troops."
"I'm going to give the order now." the deputy chief of staff replied quickly.
After taking just two steps, he stepped back, picked up the victory report of the garrison regiment and read it again, hesitantly reminded: "Boss, the telegram said that the ambush of the Japanese aviation force by the garrison regiment was proposed by Comrade Li Hao!"
"Comrade Li Hao has been removed from the position of leader of the garrison regiment by us, and he is far away in Chongqing. As an ordinary party member, is there anything wrong with commanding the garrison regiment remotely from such a long distance?"
"This ambush battle is now won, and everyone is happy."
"If the battle is lost due to command errors, who should we hold accountable? Comrade Li Hao, who has resigned as regimental commander, or Comrade Wang Hong, the current acting commander of the garrison regiment."
"I think this matter must be clarified. It is really unacceptable to tell Comrade Wang Hong the order from the headquarters to remove Li Hao from the post of commander."
The boss vetoed it without hesitation: "We can't tell Comrade Wang Hong."
"The reason why the headquarters only issued this order to the brigade level was to keep it secret and not disclose the order that Li Hao had been dismissed as the head of the garrison."
"Comrade Li Hao's role in the garrison is no less than the magic needle in the sea, and the Japanese are also very worried about him. As long as he continues to hold the position of leader of the garrison, the Japanese will not dare to act rashly against the garrison?"
"This time the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on our Eighth Route Army, except for the garrison regiment. The heavy artillery equipped by the garrison regiment and the exposed air defense capabilities were one reason, and the presence of Comrade Li Hao must also be a big reason."
"Also, the reason why Li Hao was removed from the position of captain was not because he made a mistake, but to protect him and allow him to better complete his current mission."
"His commanding ability is there. Since he has this ability and is willing to make suggestions for the garrison, why should we stop him."
"If a certain battle really fails due to Li Hao's participation and the person responsible needs to be found, I believe Comrade Li Hao will definitely take the initiative to stand up."
"In addition, I also believe that Comrade Li Hao will definitely continue to create miracles for us."
"To put it bluntly, removing Comrade Li Hao from the post of head of the garrison does not mean that he will not come back in the future."
"The Chongqing Office made it very clear that Comrade Li Hao's value there is many times greater than being the head of the garrison. Once the mission is completed, not only our Eighth Route Army will benefit, but the entire Chinese nation will also benefit, and as long as this thing goes well
Once completed, he can return to the army."
"At that time, the position of leader of the garrison will still be his."
"I really want to see how far the garrison can develop under his command."
This result was expected by the deputy chief of staff.
But as a deputy, you must remind those who need to be reminded, even if you already know the result.
He came with a brave face and said: "Boss, I found that you, like me, have fallen in love with Comrade Li Hao."
The deputy commander affirmed: "I have taken a liking to him, and I'm not embarrassed."
"You are young, you know how to fight, you also understand economics, and more importantly, you can also discover base areas."
"Everyone will like such an all-round talent."
Li Hao did not know that the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters favored him.
Little did they know that the two bosses had already tacitly allowed Comrade Li Hao to continue to fulfill his responsibilities as the leader of the garrison as an ordinary party member and provide advice to the garrison.
As soon as the news of the victory of the air defense battalion in the first battle was delivered to him, the order from the headquarters was forwarded by Wang Hong.
"The leader is very capable. He uses his tricks to make a fortune in silence. With these two tricks, the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the base area will definitely suffer heavy casualties." After reading the telegram, Li Hao said with an expression of admiration on his face and a look of emotion on his face.
After thinking for a few seconds, he began to issue an order: "Call back to the political commissar immediately: mobilize the heavy artillery battalion, air defense battalion, and mobile battalion to scream for battle."
"Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng unified command of all attacking troops to reinforce Commander Yang."
"In addition, I would like to forward one more suggestion I gave to Commander Yang."
"Try to choose daytime battles with the Japanese and puppet offensive forces to take full advantage of our heavy artillery and air defense advantages."
"Heavy artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, and infantry, working together, will definitely catch the Japanese and puppet troops by surprise."
"If possible, bring some heavy mortars and mountain cannons with you."
"There is also ammunition: rifle bullets, heavy machine gun bullets, artillery shells, bring as much as you can, don't be reluctant to part with it."
"Commander Yang has troops at his disposal, and they are all elite. The only thing missing is ammunition and heavy weapons."
"If we make up for these two shortcomings, the combat effectiveness of those troops can be increased by at least half."
As soon as the operator left with the telegram signed by Li Hao, Xiao Yuan rushed over with excitement on his face.
"Captain, come out. Director Lin has produced the first batch of medicines."
"How many are there in total?" Li Hao stood up and stared at Xiao Yuan closely and asked.
Xiao Yuan quickly replied: "In order to test whether the purchased pharmaceutical equipment is useful, Director Lin conducted small batch experimental production in the first air-raid shelter we dug, and produced a total of 1,200 doses!"
"Now we have built three underground factories and are assembling the equipment. Director Lin is personally leading people to keep an eye on it. According to her, in ten days, these three factories can start production, and in a month, penicillin
Mass production can be achieved.”
"Let's go to the factory now!" Li Hao couldn't wait any longer and rushed out of the office.
He ran all the way and rushed into the underground factory a few hundred meters away.
Lin Xinran was taking several apprentices and pharmacists to inspect the sealed potions.
The white powder medicine was packed in a small medicine bottle about the thickness of a thumb, which was almost the same as the medicine bottles I saw in later generations.
Li Hao did not change the name of penicillin, so each medicine bottle was clearly marked with the words penicillin and the corresponding efficacy.
"Great, it finally worked." Li Hao exclaimed excitedly.
Then he asked Lin Xinran: "Comrade Xinran, after large-scale production of drugs, can it be kept confidential to ensure that the production formula is not leaked?"
"Also, with the existing equipment of the pharmaceutical factory, how much output can it produce if it is fully produced."
"And lastly, how much does it cost to produce?"
Lin Xinran was even more excited than Li Hao.
She has already seen the effects of penicillin, and it can definitely be described as a miracle.
And he himself is the creator of this miracle.
He quickly replied: "Hello, leader!"
"During the entire production process, there are several key production steps that I personally handle and will definitely not be leaked."
"In addition, each pharmaceutical factory worker is only responsible for one of the production steps. There is no connection between them and they don't know the order. If someone wants to get the production formula from them, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky."
