Kong Jie's words were astonishing. The amount of information contained in this sentence was too great. No wonder Director Yuan was stunned on the spot.
Our Eighth Route Army?
Could it be that the people in front of me are members of the Eighth Route Army?
Director Yuan looked at Du Aiguo. Isn't this guy from the Imperial Association Army? Why are you getting involved with the Eighth Route Army again?
Du Aiguo quickly explained, "Director Yuan, this is Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I forgot to tell you that I have now led my troops to surrender to the Eighth Route Army."
Kong Jie originally thought that when the old man heard that Du Aiguo and his party had joined the Eighth Route Army, he would be as shocked as Platoon Leader Sun and others, and his face showed astonishment.
Unexpectedly, the old man's face calmed down quickly, and instead he showed a smile: "Okay, following the Eighth Route Army is the right way. Commander Du, you have finally taken the right path."
Then Director Yuan looked at Kong Jie again: "This Eighth Route Officer..."
"You should always call me Comrade Eighth Route Army!" Kong Jie said.
Director Yuan nodded, "I have heard that all members of your Eighth Route Army are equal and are collectively called comrades. This alone is already better than most of the Chinese army."
"Let's answer the previous question of Comrade Eighth Route Army! If all the equipment of the arsenal in front of you is moved to your Eighth Route Army base area, without a steady supply of electricity, the output of firearms will naturally not be able to reach the current scale. It is estimated that it will be reduced to About one-fifth, there is also a prerequisite for this, the power generation equipment must ensure part of the electricity consumption of the arsenal.”
Kong Jie nodded and asked curiously: "One-fifth, how much is that?"
Director Yuan said: "With sufficient raw materials, we can produce about 200 guns per month, not counting ammunition. In fact, according to the existing equipment and technology of our arsenal, if we mainly produce ammunition, the speed will be much faster."
"How many raw materials are stored in the arsenal?" Kong Jie asked.
"There should be two months' supply left! What I'm talking about is that according to the production scale of the arsenal in front of us, if the production efficiency is one-fifth, these materials are estimated to be used for nearly a year." Director Yuan said.
"Great." Kong Jie was overjoyed and said: "Mr. Yuan, I have a grievance. You know, our Eighth Route Army is not afraid of sacrifice, but when we fight against the Japanese, we are short of weapons and ammunition. If we have the equipment on hand, If you have enough ammunition, it won't be so difficult to fight the Japanese behind enemy lines. So, I would like to ask you to stay in our base area or continue to be the director of the factory. What do you think?"
Kong Jie sincerely invited him. He originally thought that Director Yuan would either agree or shake his head. Who knew that after hearing this, the old man burst into tears within a few seconds.
After crying for a moment, Factory Director Yuan raised his head again, wiped away his tears, and replied: "Captain Kong, I am ashamed to say that you are old and pedantic. You don't care who the guns and ammunition are used for. I just don't want to waste this time making guns." My artillery skills, so in the face of the Japanese’s threats and inducements, I did not refuse, who would have thought that it would be two or three years ago.”
"Although I am a craftsman, I understand in my heart that every time I make a gun or a bullet, it will kill our Chinese compatriots."
"So during the day I work conscientiously, but every night, what comes to my mind are those compatriots who were killed by the guns and bullets I made. I often suffer from nightmares because of this. I haven't slept for several years. Have a good sleep.”
"I have been thinking about what a blessing it would be if one day the guns and ammunition I made could be used to equip the anti-Japanese armed forces so that they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend our motherland!"
Kong Jie said happily: "Mr. Yuan, so you agree?"
Director Yuan nodded firmly: "As long as my old bones don't fall apart, I'm willing to make guns and bombs for our Eighth Route Army comrades!"
"Very good!"
Kong Jie solemnly saluted Factory Director Yuan: "Mr. Yuan, you understand your righteousness. On behalf of my fellow Eighth Route Army soldiers and on behalf of the millions of Chinese people, I would like to thank you!"
"Captain Kong, you can't do this, it's what an old man should do!" Director Yuan said hurriedly.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan, don't worry. When a talent like you arrives at our base, I'm afraid the headquarters will be alerted. Maybe our boss will have to come to greet you in person."
"How about I discuss this with you?"
"Commander Kong, please speak."
"Ahem, it's like this. As you know, our Eighth Route Army's war of resistance is more difficult, especially in the arsenal. The conditions are poor, and there are even fewer talents like you. If I invite you back, your superiors will I will definitely snatch you away. How about you insist that you stay with my independent group?
Our Eighth Route Army has always followed the principle of voluntariness. If you are willing to stay in the Independent Regiment, no one will make things difficult for you. "
"As well as the equipment in this arsenal, I will bring it back to you intact, including the workers, employees, and technicians. Anyone who is willing to go can follow me. I will double your wages in this arsenal." !”
Kong Jie said the last few words in a particularly domineering manner, and the workers and staff who were working in the factory stopped when they heard the sound.
Director Yuan: "..."
Du Aiguo: "..."
The fourth battalion commander Lei Dasheng followed behind him: "..."
As expected of Commander Kong!
Factory Director Yuan smiled like a child, "Okay, Commander Kong, don't worry, when we reach the boundary of your Eighth Route Army, no matter who speaks, I will only insist on one sentence, I will stay in Commander Kong's independent regiment. "
"Haha, that's right, Mr. Yuan, then we can make an agreement."
Kong Jie laughed and glared at the Fourth Battalion Commander Lei Dasheng and Du Aiguo beside him, "I said, what are you two still doing? Take the time and lead the comrades to move all the equipment that Mr. Yuan is used to back to me. By the way, there are also workers, employees, and technicians. Let me make it clear to everyone that those who joined our Eighth Route Army are not only good men who fought against Japan, but I will also double their monthly wages."
"In addition, I heard that the puppet army will ask everyone to help workers, and most of them will control the workers' families. Lao Du, you should be familiar with this and handle it well. Take away the coerced family members together and tell everyone that they have gone to the base area to divide the land and farmland. , the local government will take good care of their families.
If you don't have any family members, then it's easy to say, if you want, it can be done. "
"Yes!" Du Aiguo and Lei Dasheng smiled and responded quickly.
After Kong Jie's order was issued, the soldiers immediately took action. As long as they could be moved from the arsenal, even the wood and iron plates used to build the factory were planed by the soldiers.
As for various equipment, grinders, machine tools, planers, diesel engines, steam engines, etc., needless to say, they were all taken away.
It happens that there are several cranes in the factory, so lifting these equipment is not a problem.
Another group of people rushed to snatch the puppet army's transport truck, just in time to pull up all the equipment.
The speed of the soldiers' actions is not bad, especially the movements of carrying, pulling, carrying, dragging, searching, planing and scraping. They are very skilled and perfect.
Just kidding, when we were carrying out the raid not long ago, the Japanese railway tracks were missing in sections, let alone the small arsenal in front of us.
Soon, Director Yuan greeted the workers, staff and even technicians who were willing to stay in the arsenal and follow him to work for the Eighth Route Army, helping to pull equipment and load the vehicles.
Platoon Leader Sun, who was originally stationed at the entrance, also led his team into the arsenal to help.
When he met Du Aiguo, Platoon Leader Sun said, "Brother Du, even if we are fighting the Japanese, we brothers should be together."
Du Aiguo laughed and said: "That's right, Lao Sun, call the brothers and seize the time to load the car."
"Okay!"
...The operation to evacuate the puppet army's light weapons arsenal is in full swing.
As for the robbery of the arsenal in the hinterland of the North China Security Army, it has not been exposed until now.
It wasn't until a sudden burst of gunfire rang out that the original peace in the county was completely broken.
The puppet soldiers stationed on all sides realized that the enemy had entered the county.
"Captain, the situation is not good. It seems that he has been exposed."
Lei Dasheng, who was helping with the equipment, said that all the transport trucks were already in place outside the factory.
Du Aiguo said: "The gunfire seems to be coming from the direction of the hospital. It seems that the second battalion commander and the others are in trouble. There seem to be some Japanese wounded in the hospital. Maybe they are the cause of the noise."
