When Liu Gen woke up, the soldiers took him to a place less than five kilometers away from Huangya Cave.
Opening his eyes, Liu Gen was a little uncomfortable with the rising sun. It was still night when he successfully evacuated, but now it was daytime. After Liu Gen adapted, he looked at the sun hanging in the sky and knew that it should be in the morning.
It looks like eight or nine o'clock.
"Put me down." After finding himself lying on a stretcher, Liu Gen shouted.
When the soldier carrying the stretcher saw Liu Gen waking up, he suddenly became nervous. After he shouted, the surrounding soldiers quickly gathered around Liu Gen.
Getting up from the stretcher, Liu Gen could see that she was surrounded by soldiers, which made her a little helpless. Are these soldiers still worried about him running to find Chen Ergou and the others? When Liu Gen woke up, he realized what happened last night
What happened? In order to make him leave, Chen Ergou knocked him out directly.
To this day, Liu Gen can still feel the pain in his neck. In order to knock Liu Gen unconscious, Chen Ergou used a lot of strength.
Liu Gen didn't expect that Chen Ergou would knock him out. Otherwise, with Liu Gen's strength and when he was on guard, Chen Ergou wouldn't have been able to knock him out. But even now Liu Gen is still very worried.
Chen Ergou and others were safe, but he knew that he could not find Chen Ergou and others again.
Looking at the soldiers around him, Liu Gen said helplessly: "Let's all spread out. What are you so nervous about? They're all here. Even if I want to look for you, Battalion Commander Chen, I can't find you."
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you. I'll leave a comrade to tell me what happened after I fainted last night. Let's move on."
The soldiers looked at Liu Gen. They were a little hesitant. They were not sure whether Liu Gen was really not going to go to Chen Ergou and the others. In the end, these soldiers made a decision. They separated a few people to follow Liu Gen, so
Under this situation, even if Liu Gen wants to leave, he still needs to break through the obstruction of these soldiers.
Liu Gen was a little helpless. Seeing several soldiers following him, he could not understand what these soldiers meant, but he did not say anything.
The team continued to move forward, but in order to take care of the wounded, the team did not move very fast.
A company commander came to Liu Gen and told him what happened last night. After Liu Gen fainted, they took Liu Gen and set off in the direction of Huangya Cave. In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, they arranged for soldiers to clear the relevant traces.
, it may not be possible to clear all the traces, but unless the Japs search carefully, it will still be difficult for the Japs to find the traces of the soldiers heading towards Huangya Cave.
Shortly after the soldiers left with Liu Gen, there was an explosion. It was the Japanese troops following that triggered the booby traps arranged by Chen Ergou and others.
After the Japs triggered the booby trap, Chen Ergou and his soldiers took the initiative to shoot at the Japs, attracting the Japs' attention, allowing the soldiers to take Liu Gen away safely.
"Instructor Liu, do you think the battalion commander and the others will be fine? Can they really escape from the Japs?" Company Commander Zhang Yi's eyes were full of worry. Zhang Yi is a veteran, and there are also battalion commander Chen Ergou with him.
Over the past few years, my relationship with Chen Ergou has been very good.
Zhang Yi knew that it was wrong for him to ask Liu Gen at this time, but he couldn't help it. He was his old battalion commander. If something went wrong, he wouldn't know how to tell the soldiers.
"Captain Zhang, don't worry. With Battalion Commander Chen's ability, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Besides, fighting guerrilla warfare against the Japs is what our Eighth Route Army is best at. Battalion Commander Chen and the others will definitely be able to escape the tracking of the Japs and throw them away. All we have to do is wait for Battalion Commander Chen and the others to be safe in Huangyadong.
Come back." Liu Gen could only comfort him like this.
Liu Gen was not sure whether Chen Ergou and the soldiers could escape from the pursuit of the Japanese troops, but now, he could only have enough hope for Chen Ergou and the others. Liu Gen believed that as long as Chen Ergou and the others
No major problems occurred during this period, so as long as we tangle with the Japanese in the mountains and forests, we can still get rid of the Japanese.
"Captain Zhang, according to our current speed, we should be able to reach Huangya Cave in another two hours, so the soldiers should be alert."
"If the Japs find us entering Huangyadong and the Japs discover the Huangyadong Arsenal, then we will be the sinners of the Eighth Route Army." Liu Gen explained to Zhang Yi beside him. The location of the Huangyadong Arsenal is very secret.
It is difficult for the Japanese troops to find the entrance to Huangyadong. If they really lead to the exposure of the Huangyadong arsenal, then the problem will be huge.
Even if Huangyadong has a headquarters special agent team stationed here, if the Japanese troops are really looking for it, even if it can be successfully defended, there will be certain casualties, which is what Liu Gen does not want to see.
"Yes! I will immediately take some soldiers to disperse and guard!" Zhang Yi knew the seriousness of the matter and responded directly.
Zhang Yi is an action man. He directly led the soldiers into action. In order to avoid the presence of Japs around, he specially led the soldiers to set up a warning five hundred meters away. As long as any Japs were found, the soldiers would stop
Take action, give up and go to Huangya Cave.
There was no need to explain it to the soldiers in detail. They knew clearly the importance of the Huangyadong Arsenal. If the Huangyadong Arsenal was exposed to the Japanese because of them, they would not forgive themselves.
Liu Gen had the same idea as the soldiers. If he was discovered by the Japanese, he would definitely give up and enter Huangya Cave. Liu Gen would not be able to survive for himself and others, which would lead to the exposure of the Huangya Cave arsenal.
The Huangyadong Arsenal is very important, both now and in the future. The Huangyadong Arsenal is very important.
Along the way, Liu Gen and others maintained sufficient vigilance. In order to hide their traces, they did not advance too fast. Keeping the soldiers vigilant while advancing would undoubtedly consume a lot of energy of the soldiers, but for this
, none of the soldiers had any objections.
When Liu Gen and the others entered the five-mile radius of Huangya Cave, they were discovered by soldiers from the headquarters' secret service group responsible for protecting Huangya Cave. Soon, Liu Gen and others received support. The students had already arrived before dawn
After successfully arriving at Huangyadong, the headquarters' special agent team had already received orders to take over the task of meeting the people at the artillery school.
Knowing that Liu Gen and the soldiers were still behind, the soldiers of the secret service group came to Huangya Cave five miles away to respond under the order of Captain Ou. At the same time, in order to avoid the entrance of Huangya Cave being exposed, Captain Ou had already
Let the soldiers explore the surrounding area to avoid the presence of Japanese troops.
Last time, the Japanese Okazaki Brigade accidentally discovered the entrance to Huangyadong, entered the Huangyadong Arsenal, and carried out some damage. I think the Japanese knew a little bit about the existence of the Huangyadong Arsenal, and it was precisely because of this that the headquarters
Arrange the headquarters special agent team in Huangyadong to ensure the safety of the arsenal.
After successfully receiving the response, Liu Gen and the soldiers felt a lot more relieved. Under the leadership of the soldiers from the special service group, they headed towards Huangya Cave.
This was not the first time Liu Gen came to Huangyadong. When the arsenal was transferred back to Huangyadong, as the director of the artillery department of the arsenal, he had been to Huangyadong and found a good position for the artillery department.
The artillery department is somewhat different from other departments in the arsenal. Many departments choose to place their departments in Huangya Cave for safety reasons. The artillery department is different. If the artillery department is really placed in Huangya Cave
, then it will only limit the development of the artillery department.
Director Cheng respected Liu Gen's opinion very much. He agreed with Liu Gen's idea of setting up the artillery department outside Huangyadong. After the artillery department was established, certain test firings would definitely be carried out, and there would be a lot of artillery shells.
If it really needs to be placed inside Huangya Cave, if a problem occurs, it will cause considerable losses.
It has been several months since Liu Gen last returned to the arsenal. During this time, he has stayed in the artillery school to teach the students and successfully trained the first batch of students.
However, Liu Gen did not return to the arsenal in the past few months and was aware of some changes in the arsenal.
In April of this year, factory director Cheng Mingsheng was transferred to the Third Bureau of the Yan'an Military Commission as the director and engineer of the electrical repair factory. The new director of the arsenal was replaced by Xu Changxun. According to Liu Gen's understanding, Xu Changxun was an old Red Army veteran from Huangyadong.
The predecessor of the arsenal, the Headquarters Repair Department, was established by Xu Changxun, then deputy section chief of the Fourth Section of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Staff Office.
At that time, Xu Changxun was the director of the Headquarters Machinery Department, which attracted skilled workers from all over the world. However, although the Headquarters Machinery Department had the participation of a large number of workers, it lacked real technical strength. For this reason, the central government specially recruited graduates from Japan's Waseda University in electrical manufacturing.
Cheng Mingsheng of the department succeeded Xu Changxun as director.
Now that factory director Cheng Mingsheng has left, the headquarters has transferred Xu Changxun back to the arsenal as factory director, which is quite good. Based on his understanding of the arsenal, Xu Changxun should be the most suitable candidate.
Along the way, Liu Gen was thinking about the information about the new factory director Xu Changxun in his mind. Before actually meeting the new factory director, he was a little worried. He didn't know what the new factory director's temper was like. Liu Gen
It was normal for Gen to feel a little uneasy. Who told him that he had never interacted with the new factory director?
After Director Xu Changxun took over the arsenal, he also notified Liu Gen, hoping that Liu Gen could return to the arsenal. Without Liu Gen in the artillery department of the arsenal, it would be difficult to achieve too many results, but Liu Gen was busy with the artillery school at that time.
The trainees were unable to escape from the training, which prevented him from returning to the arsenal.
Now that he was back in the arsenal, Liu Gen felt a little uneasy, which was normal.
Passing through Wengge Corridor, this is the only passage from Jinshan Mountain in the east. There are thousands of cliffs on both sides. It is 1.5 kilometers long and about ten feet wide. It is an "S" shaped natural corridor. Since you can only see when looking upward,
It reaches the blue line, so the local people also call it a line of sky.
Liu Gen could see that there were a lot of defense facilities arranged here. According to the terrain here, even if the Japanese troops discovered the Huangyadong Arsenal, it would be difficult to break into the Huangyadong Arsenal.
If there is really an attack by the Japanese troops, then only a part of the troops need to be deployed on the two peaks of Wenggekuo. The stones dropped from above will become sharp weapons to kill the enemy.
On the way through the Wenggel Corridor, Liu Gen could feel the eyes of the soldiers from the headquarters secret service looking at him quietly from time to time. This made Liu Gen a little helpless. He knew that this was because these soldiers had heard of him.
.I don’t know if I have disappointed these soldiers. He is just an ordinary person, without any arrogance.
When he walked through the Wenggel Corridor and entered the Huangya Cave, Liu Gen's eyes suddenly lit up. There were many fields in front of him, and he could also see the arsenal building behind the fields. This is a place surrounded by
It is an open space surrounded by cliffs, and Huangya Cave is a natural stone cave located in the east rock wall.
"Captain? Director Xu? Why are you here?" Captain Liu, who was responding, couldn't help being stunned when he saw Captain Ou and Director Xu waiting at the exit.
Captain Ou laughed, "Why can't we come? We've all heard of Liu's reputation as the 'Panel God'."
Immediately, Battalion Commander Liu reacted. No wonder his regiment commander and Director Xu of the arsenal came to greet him. The gentle conversation with Liu Gen along the way made Battalion Commander Liu forget Liu Gen's achievements.
In Liu Gen, he could not feel the slightest arrogance, only a deep approachability.
Liu Gen stepped forward and saluted seriously: "Liu Gen has met Captain Ou and Director Xu."
"This time when we are discovered by the Japanese raiding troops, we still need Captain Ou's support."
"Director Xu, how could I be so virtuous as to allow you to come and take care of me? As the head of the artillery department of the arsenal, I have never been able to come to the arsenal. I'm really sorry."
Facing Director Ou and Director Xu, Liu Gen's attitude was very respectful. They both deserved Liu Gen's respect.
"Hahaha, you don't need to be so polite. You may have never seen me, but I have known you Liu 'Pao Shen' for a long time from the bosses at the headquarters. You are a famous person. I have always wanted to find an opportunity.
I want to meet you, now I finally have a chance to meet you, so I don’t need to be so polite." Captain Ou said with a smile.
Captain Ou is the head of the secret service group at the headquarters. When he was at the headquarters before, he learned about Liu Gen's many achievements from the bosses and knew that Liu Gen's achievements were not simple. What's more, even if Liu Gen didn't make any achievements,
But he is also a member of the Eighth Route Army, so Captain Ou naturally has no reason to ignore death.
Factory Director Xu on the side was speechless. He looked at Liu Gen with a smile and had a very good impression of Liu Gen. Factory Director Xu also knew Liu Gen’s abilities and knew that Liu Gen did not come to the arsenal because he really had important things to do.
.Now that Liu Gen has come to Huangyadong, there is no possibility of letting Liu Gen leave easily.
"We'd better go back first. Minister Liu and the others have been rushing all the way. Let them have a good rest first." Seeing that Captain Ou wanted to continue talking with Liu Gen, Director Xu also reminded him.
At this time, Captain Ou also realized that it was indeed true. Liu Gen and the others had been on their way. Now that they had just arrived at Huangya Cave, it would be better to let them rest. Captain Ou could also see many soldiers.
There was a bandage on his body with blood oozing from it.
Even Liu Gen's arm was bandaged in several places, but because Liu Gen looked so energetic, Captain Ou subconsciously ignored Liu Gen's injuries.
"My condition is not bad, but a few of the injured are seriously injured. I hope they can receive timely treatment," Liu Gen said.
Director Ou and Factory Director Xu naturally had no objections. Before they arrived, they notified the doctors in Huangyadong to prepare. Soon, the seriously injured people in the team were treated, and they were injured within 10 minutes.
The time is not long, and the possibility of being rescued is still very high.
However, after the doctor conducted an examination, he also told Liu Gen bad news. Since the injuries of the two seriously injured patients were relatively serious, the only way to survive was to have their legs amputated.
Liu Gen was helpless when he learned the news from the doctor. He wanted the doctor to find another way to treat the wounded. However, due to the medical conditions here, if other treatment methods were chosen, the two seriously injured people might not survive.
Come down. In the end, in order to keep the two seriously injured people alive, Liu Gen had no choice but to let doctors amputate their limbs.
Because the two seriously injured people were in coma, Liu Gen could not tell them about this matter. He could only hope that they could understand Liu Gen's choice after waking up. Compared with death, surviving with amputation is still acceptable. Maybe.
After the amputation, these two warriors could no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but in this era, it was enough to survive. How much more do you want?
After arranging for the treatment of the wounded and the rest of the soldiers, Liu Gen had free time to wander around the arsenal.
Leader Ou and Director Xu both have a lot of things to do, so naturally they can't stay with Liu Gen all the time. Moreover, if they were to stay with Liu Gen all the time, Liu Gen would definitely not be able to adapt.
Wandering around the arsenal, Liu Gen found that the arsenal has changed a lot, and the workers are very serious in production. Compared with the previous arsenal, the production efficiency of the arsenal has improved again, and these improvements also represent the daily progress of the arsenal.
More weapons and ammunition can be produced every month.
In terms of weapons production, the arsenal mainly produces Bayi-type horse rifles and 60mm mortars, and also produces a lot of grenade launchers. The flexibility of grenade launchers is very suitable for the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army troops, allowing soldiers to carry out guerrilla warfare.
With corresponding firepower support.
The weight of the 60mm mortar is not heavy, but compared with the grenade launcher, the grenade launcher is naturally easier to carry.
Coming to the artillery department, Liu Gen could see workers manufacturing the barrels of 60mm mortars. In the production and manufacturing of barrels, workers still mainly made them by hand, which also made the 60mm mortars produced more accurate.
There was no guarantee. Seeing this, Liu Gen found that the arsenal still needed to add a lot of machine tools, at least the ones needed to produce qualified gun barrels.
It is not difficult for Liu Gen to build a machine tool that can produce qualified artillery shells. Originally, Liu Gen wanted to invest directly in manufacturing weapons, but now he can only further improve the production conditions of the arsenal in order to
Ensure that there will be no problems in your subsequent weapons production.
Returning to the arsenal arranged for him by the arsenal, Liu Gen lay on the table and began to write and draw. Soon, Liu Gen drew drawings one after another.
