After Liu Gen found the division headquarters again, it was already the third day after Liu Gen returned to the base area. Knowing that the division headquarters had been transferred due to the raids by Japanese troops, Liu Gen had no choice but to return to Huangyadong first.
After learning the specific location of the division headquarters in Huangya Cave, Liu Gen returned to the division headquarters and reported to the division commander what he had done in Yan'an.
The report with the division commander went very smoothly, and the division commander didn't ask too many questions. When Yan'an wanted to transfer Liu Gen, he roughly knew what Liu Gen was going to do in Yan'an. Now that Liu Gen is back to report, he just
It can be said that it is just routine work, but it is more to show that Liu Gen returned to the base successfully and safely.
"Genzi, you did a good job in Yan'an. The bosses in Yan'an are very satisfied with you and specially awarded you a reward." In the room of the division headquarters, the division commander said to Liu Gen with a smile.
Liu Gen was stunned for a moment, and looked at his division commander with some confusion. He did well in Yan'an, but what does a commendation mean? When Liu Gen left Yan'an, there was no mention of commendations for him. Why did he return to the division headquarters?
Afterwards, the award was given? Although Liu Gen didn't understand why such a thing happened, he was still very happy that he received the award.
Receiving the award meant that his efforts in Yan'an were appreciated by his bosses, and Liu Gen became a little excited.
"Teacher, how come you are the one handing out the award? Shouldn't I be the one receiving the award when I was in Yan'an?" Liu Gen asked.
The teacher laughed and looked at Liu Gen who was a little emotional. He could understand Liu Gen's state at this time, so he said with a smile: "It's not that you left in a hurry, the bosses originally wanted you to continue there.
If I stay here for a month, who would have thought that you would catch them off guard."
Immediately, Liu Gen understood that he was indeed a little anxious when he left Yan'an.
"This is your boy's commendation order. Keep it and don't lose it." The teacher handed a commendation order to Liu Gen's hand with a smile in his eyes.
Liu Gen quickly took the commendation order and glanced at it briefly. He regarded it as a first-class merit. After folding the commendation order carefully, Liu Gen put the commendation order in his pocket. In order to prevent the commendation order from falling from his pocket, Liu Gen
He deliberately buttoned his pocket. A commendation order is very light, but for Liu Gen, this commendation order is very heavy.
"You kid must continue to work hard in the future and don't slack off just because you got the commendation order."
"I know that you are very capable and smart. My bosses and I hope that you can make good use of this intelligence and make greater contributions to our Eighth Route Army and the construction of the base area." The division commander encouraged him.
The teacher knew Liu Gen's character well and knew that Liu Gen was very calm and mature, but out of his fondness for Liu Gen, he couldn't help but remind Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded vigorously. He understood what his teacher meant. After receiving this commendation order, he would not relax at all, and the pressure on him would be even greater. This commendation order would become the driving force for Liu Gen to continue working hard.
Only by making more achievements in the future can Liu Gen pat his chest and say that he can withstand the favor of his teachers and bosses and this commendation order.
"Did you have any accidents on your way back? During this period, the enemy's blockade of our base area has been continuously strengthened. Our actions before have finally attracted the attention of the enemy." The division commander asked.
Liu Gen's expression became serious. He told everything he saw and heard in the Japanese-occupied area, but the division commander's expression did not change much. As the commander of the 129th Division, the division commander had long known about the Japanese occupation.
Various situations in the area, but even so, he didn't have any good way to solve it. With the state of the Eighth Route Army units, they were simply unable to launch an attack on the Japanese-occupied area.
Faced with the blockade of the Japanese anti-Japanese base areas, the Eighth Route Army units could only try their best to use various methods to delay the blockade of the Japanese anti-Japanese base areas. At the same time, they continued to harass the Japanese troops who wanted to blockade the anti-Japanese base areas.
In any case, in a short period of time, the Eighth Route Army troops faced the Japanese troops' raids on the anti-Japanese base areas, and they could only choose to move continuously to avoid the enemy's raids.
After staying in the division headquarters for a day, Liu Gen returned to Huangyadong. Today, Huangyadong is the safest place in the anti-Japanese base area. For the safety of the artillery school, the division headquarters ordered the artillery school to temporarily stay in Huangyadong.
Yadong, unless the Japanese discover the location of Huangyadong, there is no need to move the artillery school.
Choosing to keep the artillery school in Huangyadong, the division headquarters was also very helpless. The Japanese troops continued to raid the anti-Japanese base areas, making the anti-Japanese base areas unsafe. Only in some sufficiently remote places could the Japanese troops be avoided.
Although it is necessary to carry out raids by troops, it would naturally be inappropriate if the artillery school goes to too remote a place.
The artillery school is directly under the 129th Division, and its location cannot be too far from the division headquarters. After comprehensive consideration, the division headquarters can only decide to continue to place the artillery school in Huangyadong.
Of course, when the division headquarters was considering the location of the artillery school, it also considered Liu Gen's factors. With Liu Gen's ability, it would be a waste to only let Liu Gen be responsible for the artillery school. Now the artillery school will continue to be located in Huangyadong
, Liu Gen’s talent can also be fully utilized, and the arsenal can continue to develop with Liu Gen’s help.
Liu Gen didn't have much time to rest when he returned to Huangyadong. As soon as he returned to Huangyadong, he was approached by Director Xu about the production of rocket launchers.
After comprehensive consideration by the division headquarters and the specific conditions of the arsenal, the division headquarters decided to let the arsenal manufacture two rocket launchers. These two rocket launchers were manufactured to enhance the protection of the Huangyadong arsenal. With the headquarters' special agent group
The protection is good, but compared with the Japs' troops, the Headquarters Special Agent Regiment is still inferior, and its firepower cannot be compared with the Japs'.
It is precisely because of this consideration that the division headquarters wants to have the arsenal manufacture several rocket launchers and hand them over to the headquarters special agent group for use to enhance the firepower of the headquarters special agent group. With the special terrain of Huangyadong, it is really necessary to fight the Japanese.
Up, the headquarters special team with rocket launchers will inevitably burst out with strong enough firepower. At the same time, the special terrain of Huangyadong can also improve the launch accuracy problem of rocket launchers.
After receiving the order from the division headquarters, the artillery department of the arsenal started manufacturing rocket launchers. When Liu Gen was manufacturing the first rocket launcher, Kong Jue and others from the artillery department had been following Liu Gen. They all knew clearly about rocket launchers.
The production and manufacturing process. But who knows, even if they clearly know the production and manufacturing process of rocket launchers, Kong Jue and others have not been able to successfully manufacture a qualified rocket launcher.
In fact, there are several problems that are difficult to solve, and those problems are more critical. Even if you don't care about these problems, forcibly manufacturing the rocket launcher will not be of much use.
Now that Liu Gen has returned to Huangyadong, Director Xu hopes that Liu Gen can be responsible for the manufacturing of rocket launchers. Considering the conditions of the arsenal, Liu Gen only needs to manufacture two more rocket launchers, plus the one Liu Gen made before.
Rocket launchers, three rocket launchers are enough for the defense of Huangyadong.
After receiving such an order, Liu Gen was a little excited. He had a very special feeling about rocket launchers. His failure in rocket launchers made him even more interested in rocket launchers. What's more, in Liu Gen's vision, rocket launchers are not impossible.
Used as an anti-aircraft weapon.
After leaving Factory Director Xu's office, Liu Gen did not return directly to the artillery department. Instead, he visited various departments in the arsenal. Liu Gen chose to do this because he wanted to see if there were any problems in each department that he needed to solve.
At the same time, he also wanted to have a clearer understanding of the current situation of the arsenal. It seems that various departments in the arsenal will not affect the manufacturing of rocket launchers, but Liu Gen knows that manufacturing rocket launchers can affect every department in the arsenal.
Even if the technical requirements for rocket launchers are not high, it still requires all departments of the arsenal to go all out. Only in this way can a sufficiently excellent rocket launcher be produced.
By the time Liu Gen returned to the artillery department, it was already the second day after Liu Gen returned to Huangyadong Arsenal. As soon as he returned to the artillery department, Liu Gen could see that Kong Jue and others were in a very low mood. The rocket launcher manufacturer
The failure was a big blow to Kong Jue and others. Obviously they followed Liu Gen and participated in every step of the rocket launcher manufacturing, but when they actually made it with their own hands, they were unable to produce a qualified rocket launcher at all.
.
"What? You were hit by just a little difficulty?" Liu Gen looked at Kong Jue and others and asked with a faint smile.
When Kong Jue and others saw Liu Gen returning to the artillery department, they couldn't help but stood up quickly and looked at Liu Gen with obvious admiration in their eyes. When they followed Liu Gen to build rocket launchers, Kong Jue and others were a little shocked, but
In fact, they were not very touched. After experiencing the failure of manufacturing rocket launchers, Kong Jue and others had obvious admiration for Liu Gen.
Some things seem very simple, but only when you actually do it yourself can you know how difficult it will be.
"Cheer up! It's just a small problem in manufacturing the rocket launcher, but you have been hit so hard. How can I trust you to hand over the artillery department to you?" Liu Gen said again.
Kong Jue and others lowered their heads in shame. They all knew that Liu Gen took care of and trusted them, but now their performance disappointed Liu Gen.
"Okay, comrades, we don't have much time to hang our heads. Now, comrades, listen to my command. Let's start the manufacturing of rocket launchers. You have done some good work, and we will work together to complete the rest."
Looking across Kong Jue and others, Liu Gen shouted loudly.
Kong Jue and others took action one after another. With Liu Gen staying in the artillery department, they all felt that they were much more relaxed. Even if they encountered difficulties, they were more patient than usual. Kong Jue and others believed that with Liu Gen
If you don't do it at all, then there won't be any problems in making rocket launchers.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. With Liu Gen in charge, even if Liu Gen did not spend too much time, the process of making rocket launchers by Kong Jue and others was much smoother. Some of the problems that were difficult for them to solve would be solved if they fell into Liu Gen's hands.
was easily solved. When Liu Gen was solving the problem, he also had the patience to explain to Kong Jue and others. He hoped that Kong Jue and others would become better and hope that they could take on the important task of manufacturing rocket launchers.
Liu Gen attaches great importance to rocket launchers, but he cannot devote all his time to them. He still has too many things to do. Among them, the task of developing the arsenal will consume a lot of Liu Gen's energy.
, by then, he won't have much time to spend in the artillery department.
With Liu Gen in charge, Kong Jue and others are getting more and more successful in manufacturing rocket launchers. After successfully manufacturing a rocket launcher, they don't have too many problems in the manufacture of rocket launchers. There is just one problem, Kong Jue
Others are unable to solve the problem, which is the propellant problem of rockets. They cannot maintain certain standards when making nitrocellulose into propellant.
In the entire arsenal, Liu Gen is the only one who can do this. Whether the propellant can be standardized is very important for rockets, but it is very difficult to achieve this. After all, with
Due to the conditions in the base area, no one can guarantee the quality of nitrocellulose. Failure to guarantee the quality of nitrocellulose will lead to the inability to form unified standards when manufacturing propellants. It is more likely that the rocket ejection problem will occur due to different burning speeds of nitrocellulose.
But this problem can be solved in front of Liu Gen. With his strong physical fitness and the help of the system, Liu Gen can clearly distinguish the quality of nitrocellulose and form a certain shape when making it into propellant.
standard.
Fortunately, using nitrocellulose as propellant is not a heavy task and will not consume too much of Liu Gen's energy. Otherwise, the manufacture of rockets will definitely become a big problem.
As time enters November, the Japs' raids in the base areas become less frequent. This is not because the Japs have given up suppressing the anti-Japanese base areas, but because after November, the temperature drops. Even if the Japs troops continue to raid,
They couldn't stand it either. Taking advantage of the decrease in the number of raids by Japanese troops, various units of the Eighth Route Army became more active.
Since the raids by the Japanese troops have never been able to find traces of the Eighth Route Army units, this has led the Japanese to increase their penetration into the anti-Japanese base areas and send a lot of spies to the anti-Japanese base areas. The Japanese traitors and spies continued to make inquiries.
After searching, the Japanese found the specific location of Huangya Cave.
After the Japanese dispatched a small group of troops for confirmation, the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, quietly mobilized his troops and ordered the 1st Division of the 36th Division and the 4th, 9th and Mixed Brigades of the Japanese Army, which were relatively close to Huangyadong.
A group of more than 5,000 people marched towards Huangyadong at the fastest speed, hoping to destroy the Huangyadong Arsenal in one fell swoop!
On November 11, 1941, the Japanese quietly mobilized troops to appear outside Huangyadong. After surrounding Huangyadong from all directions, they took the initiative to launch an attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal!
