Peng Feng smiled slightly after hearing this, looked up at the scene on the street outside the window, with a somewhat unclear meaning in his eyes, and murmured: "Don't know our identities? I don't think so."
After he came back yesterday, he carefully thought about what happened during the day. After all, he is a cultured and experienced person, and he gradually came to his senses. I am afraid that his identity was exposed. But for some reason, the officer let him go so lightly.
.
My own comrade? I rejected myself as soon as I thought of this. It’s impossible. If you were an adult, it would be possible. But your age is a flaw. Such a young member of the Red Party became a colonel in the national army? Unless he is in
He began to receive education from the Red Party in his mother's womb, and had to infiltrate the Kuomintang before 1927. How old was he in 1927? I'm afraid he was no more than 14 years old. Who would send a 13 or 14-year-old boy to be a kid?
Undercover? And even if there is such a person, he can become a colonel in the national army in just three years?
He was not one of his own, so why would he let him go? There can only be two explanations. One is that the enemy is playing a long-term game to catch the big fish and sends people to monitor him. When he and the Shanxi underground organization are connected, he will catch them all.
The other type is those who sympathize with the Red Party. Such people are not uncommon in the Kuomintang now. After all, the two parties also cooperated sincerely during the Great Revolution, and many people from the two parties have established a deep fighting friendship with each other.
But this colonel is too young. A colonel of this age can only be the son of a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang. Could it be that his family has a tendency to sympathize with the Red Party?
Peng Feng's head started to hurt again as he thought about it, so he gave it up. After all, passing a level is a level. If you can't beat it, then you will give up. Why should you be afraid of sacrifice when you work for the revolution?
At this moment, the sound of cars came from the street. Peng Feng looked out the window and saw the convoy of white dogs that Xiao Zhao said were driving past the street. Peng Feng saw the driver of the second Xiaoqiao car.
It was the young colonel. The windows were not raised, and the people sitting in the car were clearly visible. The two foreigners were also in the car. Peng Feng slandered that he "worships foreigners and favors foreigners."
At this moment, the colonel who was driving glanced at the window here intentionally or unintentionally. Peng Feng quickly put on a smile and waved goodbye to the small bridge car. The colonel also smiled and nodded, and drove out of the city. Peng Feng
Nowadays, I am barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Anyway, it has been exposed. Even if I look at you a few times, I can take the opportunity to test it out. The result is the same, others seem to behave politely and casually, and do not pay much attention to it.
appearance.
Looking at the motorcade going away, I sighed in my heart and turned around to help Xiao Zhao scrub.
…
One day at the end of November 1930, the ancient city of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province was shrouded in haze. The drizzle floating slightly in the gloomy sky made the whole city look cold and dull. The cold wind blowing from the north made the streets even more cold.
Pedestrians began to feel a biting sensation, heralding the coming of winter.
Binggong Road outside the Xiaobei Gate in the north of Taiyuan is lined with residential areas on both sides. Most of the people living here are workers and their families of the Taiyuan Arsenal. As the name suggests, Binggong Road is a road specially built for the Taiyuan Arsenal.
Taiyuan Arsenal is an arsenal founded by Marshal Yan in Shanxi to manufacture guns and ammunition. Taiyuan Arsenal, Shenyang Arsenal and Hanyang Arsenal are the three major arsenals in the history of the Republic of China. Marshal Yan was able to rule Shanxi for 38 years, and the Taiyuan Arsenal manufactured weapons for him.
Ammunition, and then recruiting troops and horses, are directly related to expanding the power.
In its early days, the Taiyuan Arsenal was called the Shanxi Military Craft Practice Factory. The personnel structure, machinery and equipment were very simple. It mainly repaired weapons and produced broadswords, spears and muskets. There were no deep hole processing equipment at that time. After Marshal Yan became the governor of Shanxi, he stepped up his efforts in armaments
Manufacturing, introducing advanced management experience and mechanical equipment from Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom, hiring foreign military factory technicians, and gradually expanding the internship factory.
In January 1927, Marshal Yan changed the Shanxi Military Craft Practice Factory into the Taiyuan Arsenal. This marked the rapid development of Shanxi's arms production from light weapons to heavy weapons. It can produce imitation Japanese Type 38 rifles, German Mauser 79 rifles and American
The Thompson submachine gun and its bullets were the beginning of Shanxi's armament manufacturing.
While successfully manufacturing bullets, they also began to develop hand grenades. The projectile bodies are divided into two types: iron sheet and cast iron. After many experiments and battlefield practice, the wooden handle cast iron grenade projectile can explode into dozens of grains or even
With hundreds of shrapnel particles and high destructive power, it has become a famous brand among Shanxi-made munitions, with a maximum daily output of more than 100,000. Nanjing and Shenyang arsenals have imitated it, and it is recognized that the hand grenade developed in Shanxi is the most powerful.
When it reached its peak in the early 1930s, the Taiyuan Arsenal and the Military Factory had a total of 3,800 pieces of equipment and 15,000 employees. Its scale was comparable to that of the largest Hanyang Arsenal and Shenyang Arsenal in the country. From 1928 to 1930, the monthly output of the Taiyuan Arsenal
They are: 35 light and heavy artillery pieces, 100 mortars, 3,000 rifles, 15 machine guns, 900 submachine guns, 15,000 artillery shells, 9,000 mortar shells, and 4.2 million bullets. Marshal Yan relies on these weapons
Equipment, the Jin army grew to a strength of 300,000, and it had the spare capacity to sell weapons at high prices to warlords from other provinces such as the Northwest Army and the Guangxi Army.
However, since the end of the Central Plains War in September and Marshal Yan announced his resignation, the Northeast Army Marshal who has direct jurisdiction over Shanxi has not sent a single soldier into Shanxi, but he has issued an order to Chief Xu, the acting provincial chairman of Shanxi, ordering the arsenal to be stopped.
production, the factory has been reorganized and downsized. The arsenal is not allowed to transport a single bullet out of Shanxi Province. The 15,000 employees of the arsenal have been in difficult times. It has been two full months since October, from the factory director to the workers.
, without any income.
Fortunately, the managers said that their previous wages were high and they still had some savings. Those working-class families at the bottom were in dire straits. Many families had to go to the city to work for others to supplement their family income. Some even had to go to the countryside to find work.
The formerly bustling arsenal no longer had the roar of machines, the thick smoke in the sky, and the bustling traffic on the road. There was only dead silence.
At this time, a woman's cry came from a small house beside Binggong Road. At the door, a man in his forties was squatting on the ground and smoking a pipe. His sad face was filled with wrinkles.
This man's name is Li Bin. He was originally a technical worker in the gun and ammunition branch of the arsenal. He has worked in the arsenal for more than ten years, and he is also smart and studious. He soon became the technical backbone of the gun factory and was highly valued by the management. Unfortunately.
What's more, he has been married to his wife for many years and has no children. He finally survived until he was in his thirties, and his wife finally gave birth to a fat boy for him. Li Bin felt that he had nothing to ask for in life like this.
However, just when Li Bin was full of ambition and devoted himself to working overtime to make money for his wife and children, the arsenal was closed...
