The villagers came to Baiwanyu and were properly resettled. The old, weak, sick and disabled were taken to the villagers' homes for care, and the rest lived in barracks that had been basically built.
Now, Li Yunlong and the others could finally take a rest with peace of mind.
Li Yunlong personally poured a bowl of wine for Xu Gaoxiang, "Hahaha, thanks to you, Brother Xu has been of great help this time. Brother, I give you a bowl!"
Xu Gaoxiang raised his hands and held the bowl, waiting for Li Yunlong to pour the wine, "We are all compatriots. This is something I can do. I just hate that the little devil is not a human being!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "These are two different things. Besides, if the weapons and equipment I gave you weren't so useful, I wouldn't have had the chance to rescue everyone!"
Xu Gaoxiang took a sip of wine and said, "Haha, as long as it works!"
"How is it?! Lao Li, is there anything else you want?!"
Li Yunlong put down the wine bowl, "Hey, don't tell me, I really have something I want you to help me with. Can you get some machines here?! Just get some sewing machines!"
"Brother, I plan to find some work for these villagers. With their current physical condition, they can't farm. It just so happened that I sent a lot of cloth last time!"
"Brother, I think so. It would be no problem to get a few more sewing machines, open a quilt factory here, and let them use their hands and feet!"
"This not only solves the problem of military uniforms and quilts for the team, but also can be sold to outsiders, so that I can have an income to support myself!"
Xu Gaoxiang's face straightened, "Brother, this is a very good idea. I fully support it. Don't worry, just a few sewing machines can't trouble me!"
"The sales channels for the finished products are also left to me!"
Xu Gaoxiang looked serious on the face, but in fact he was a little cheerful in his heart. Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong, the director of the quilt factory, did not run away! Isn’t this enough? ! Hahaha.
Of course, Xu Gaoxiang also knew that Li Yunlong didn't just want a sewing machine. What he wanted most was a lathe that could be used to produce bullet weapons!
Xu Gaoxiang chose to support, "Brother, to tell you the truth, I also have a way to get all kinds of lathes. Although transportation is not easy, I will definitely find a way to transport them to you!"
"I just don't know if there is anyone here who can help me? How can I solve the problem of raw materials?!"
Li Yunlong was overjoyed and opened his eyes wide, "Brother, can you really get a machine?! Hahahaha, that would be great!"
"Brother, I really have a talent for mechanics. I don't have to worry about no one else being able to do it!"
"As for raw materials, our requirements should not be so high. First, we should open a small ordnance shop that can repair weapons and reload bullets!"
Xu Gaoxiang also gave new suggestions, "By the way, I found that the water volume of the small lake in Baiwan Valley is not small, and there is also a big terrain difference. We can definitely build a small dam on it!"
"Brother, let me get you some small hydroelectric generators, which can fully support the power usage of those lathes! It's no problem to use electricity to melt steel and copper!"
Listening to Brother Xu's future plan, Li Yunlong didn't know how to be happy for a while, "Hahahahaha, isn't this going to build an arsenal?!"
Li Yunlong picked up the wine bowl, "Let's have a bowl, hahaha, brother, I'm just waiting for the good news from brother!"
Xu Gaoxiang also picked up the wine bowl, "Haha, there will come a day. You still don't believe in my ability, brother?!"
The two chatted happily for a while, and Li Yunlong also had a clear direction for the next arrangements.
The next step is to carry out large-scale construction, including the clothing factory and the ordnance factory, and the construction of the team cannot be left behind.
From now on, Baiwanyu will be their rear area, serving as a production base, command post, and recruit training base.
As for the team, after fighting in the west, it’s time to head to the east, since there are many gun towers and strongholds there.
Then break the team into parts, use a company as a unit, and let them choose their own targets, attack on their own, and recruit new recruits on their own!
Anyway, there is no shortage of offensive weapons in the team now. Whether it is the super bazooka or the Qiwu Mountain Cannon, the turrets that deal with the little devils are all at hand.
Xu Gaoxiang and the others stayed in Baiwanyu for another two days, during which the doctors also conducted a comprehensive examination on the big guys.
In the end, several doctors decided to stay and join Li Yunlong's team to contribute to the anti-Japanese cause.
At the same time, while taking advantage of the physical examination of everyone in the past two days, Xu Gaoxiang and others also helped Li Yunlong's camp staff to compile statistics on the identity information of the rescued villagers' place of origin, name, and identity.
Li Yunlong had an unexpected gain. Several of the workers were former workers in the Taiyuan Arsenal. There was even a thin man with cracked glasses who had worked as a gunpowder proportioning engineer in the Taiyuan Arsenal.
This person is very knowledgeable about various gunpowder ratios and gunpowder production processes!
After Li Yunlong found out, he immediately burst into joy, "Hahahahaha, God help me! Whatever you want, come to me!"
"Brothers, please take good care of your health. I, Li Yunlong, will soon have my arsenal on you!"
He Keyun nodded firmly, "Sir, please rest assured, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
Li Yunlong happily put his hands on his back, "Huzi, I've handed them over to you, you have to take good care of me!"
"Yes!" Huzi accepted the order.
Xu Gaoxiang said goodbye to Li Yunlong, took the list of mechanical equipment given by Tang Yun and He Keyun, and the doctors, and left Baiwanyu with Lao Wu's transportation team.
On the other side, after Li Yunlong and others left the coal field, Wu Ran led the puppet soldiers out of the ravine where they were hiding.
The puppet soldiers looked like they were surviving the disaster, "Great! This group of Eighth Route Army has finally left!"
"You have to be the captain! Otherwise our lives will be in danger this time!"
A puppet soldier was the first to ask a question, "Captain, what should we do next?! You say, we all listen to you!"
Wu Ran looked at the other puppet soldiers, "You all think so?!"
The puppet soldiers nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we all think so, and we all listen to the captain!"
Wu Ran nodded, "Okay, I decided that we should go back to find the little devil!"
The puppet soldiers looked at each other, but one puppet soldier couldn't help but asked everyone's doubts, "Captain, if we go back like this, we won't be troubled by the little devils, right?!"
Wu Ran spoke confidently, "Hmph, don't worry, I've been prepared. I've figured out the origins of this group of eight people before. Who do you think their commander is?!"
"It's Li Yunlong!"
The puppet soldiers widened their eyes in surprise and shouted, "Is this the same Li Yunlong who killed Captain Bantian a while ago and also captured the alliance flag?!!!"
Wu Ran nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's that Li Yunlong, how about it? With this news, the little devil can't even think about embarrassing me, he has to reward us!"
"This is the information we obtained from the Eighth Route Army at the risk of our lives!"
"Do you still remember how much the little devil put a bounty on Li Yunlong's head?!"
