Ma Jinshan's resolute face finally showed a smile, and he patted Ye Anran on the shoulder.
"Brother, restraint is impossible!"
"It doesn't matter how many Japs there are, as long as he dares to invade Hecheng even half a step, I will tell him to never come back!"
Ye Anran expected that Ma Jinshan would definitely fight the Japanese to the end.
In November 1931, Ma Jinshan only had 13,000 troops. At that time, he dared to confront the Duomen Division with Duomen and Ergou.
Now, the total number of recruits and veterans recruited by Crane City is nearly 50,000.
It was enough for him to compete with the Japanese.
Ma Jinshan called Ye Anran to the combat map and talked about his current military deployment.
Xie Ke stood aside and said nothing during the whole process.
He wanted to see if Ye Anran had any better suggestions for Ma Jinshan's current deployment.
Since the last time, he witnessed Ye Anran's military theory teaching to the commander of the Shadow Regiment, and he was even more shocked.
I have always wanted to find time to discuss it with Ye Anran.
It's just that Ye Anran is too busy because he has no chance.
Ma Jinshan pointed to the combat map, "Brother, do you have anything else to add?"
Ye Anran had a rough understanding of the deployment of each brigade. He gave Ma Jinshan a thumbs up, "Brother, Chief of Staff, very good!"
"Now we can let the soldiers build trenches, parapets and other defensive fortifications."
Ma Jinshan was slightly startled, and he asked doubtfully: "Is it gone now?"
"No more!"
Ye Anran shrugged. He looked at Xie Ke aside and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
If the eldest brother reacted like this, he must have said something behind his back.
"Don't look at me, I didn't ask..."
Xie Ke first distanced himself from the relationship and then added, "You really have nothing to say?"
"Gone."
Ma Jinshan's military deployment was clearly directed by an expert.
The distance from the first defensive position to the second defensive position is 700 yards.
The last defensive positions were at Sanjianfang and Angangxi.
Once the war situation could not be reversed, the troops withdrew to Hecheng and started street fighting with the enemy through the traffic trenches in the city.
It can also hold off the Japanese for a while.
Ye Anran looked up at Ma Jinshan and pointed at the forward position, "Brother, ask the engineers to build bunkers on the forward highlands. They must use cement and steel bars."
"Every bunker must withstand enemy artillery bombardment, and a large amount of machine gun ammunition and sufficient water and dry food must be placed inside!"
"I will call the Jingang Group and ask them to prepare steel and ensure that every forward position has two to three such machine gun fortresses."
Ma Jinshan knew the importance of the machine gun fortress, and he promised: "I will send someone to do it right away."
In previous battlefields, Chinese soldiers were often passive in positional battles with the Japanese due to inferior equipment and lack of resources.
In the bunkers and gun turrets on the battlefield, the Japanese usually have the upper hand. They are well-equipped, own bunkers and turrets, and often enjoy the initiative in positional battles.
Those machine gun bunkers and gun towers are deadly to the infantry!
At present, the Japanese hope that Ma Jinshan and Ye Anran will attend the founding ceremony of Xinjing.
This gave the Northeast Army about a month to prepare.
Bunkers, parapets, trenches and even barbed wire and steel plates are all very necessary defenses for critical battles.
Once a positional battle breaks out between the two sides, the casualties of the Northeast Army will be greatly reduced.
Ye Anran then said goodbye to Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke.
He has more important things to do.
After leaving the provincial capital compound, Ye Anran and Ma Jinhai rode to the arsenal.
He wanted to see Jin Yinan's research results on the M3 submachine gun.
On the way to the arsenal, a childish voice reached Ye Anran's ears.
"Excuse me!"
"Breaking news, an infectious plague has occurred in Hecheng, and Ma Jinshan, the chairman of Heilongjiang Province, is ill!"
The child's voice penetrated Ye Anran's nerves. He was the mastermind of the whole incident, and he felt creepy after listening to it.
At the same time, Ma Jinhai, who was walking alongside him, reined in his horse. He jumped off the horse and walked toward the newspaper seller fiercely.
Ye Anran jumped off the horse, took two quick steps and pressed Ma Jinhai's shoulders.
I'm afraid that my second brother will show off his courage in front of the children.
When he left the provincial capital, he told Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke about publicizing the Hecheng plague.
Let him be mentally prepared.
On the other side of the provincial government office, Ma Jinshan was shocked as he held a newspaper.
The third brother was cruel enough, saying that he was infected with the plague and was ill.
Because of these words, he has been unable to show his face in front of everyone recently.
From in front of the curtain to behind the scenes.
Ma Jinshan understood what Ye Anran was doing very well. He was trying to buy more time, recruit training, and logistical support for the Northeast Army.
These all require plenty of time to complete.
Ye Anran walked up to the newspaper seller, took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Bring me two newspapers."
"Thank you, sir!"
The child collected the money and handed each of Ye Anran and Ma Jinhai a newspaper.
Ye Anran read the content of the article intently.
I have to say that Xia Qiancheng's writing is very good. In addition, she also added photos to the newspaper.
One is a photo of a Japanese man covered in herpes.
One photo she found was of extras and pedestrians wearing masks on the street.
In short, coupled with the unique black and white background of the photo, the photo presented makes people feel very uncomfortable after viewing it.
Ye Anran wanted this result.
He collected the newspaper and rushed to Hecheng Arsenal with Ma Jinhai.
The workers in the workshop were jingling and working attentively.
Milling machines and high-speed stamping machines also continue to hum.
Occasionally there was the sound of workers polishing gun parts.
Ye Anran entered the m3 production line. As soon as he stood firm, Jin Yinan trotted up to him.
He bent down and bowed: "Vice Chairman Ye, General Ma, you are here."
Ye Anran smiled slightly at Jin Yinan, "Director Jin, how is your research on the grease gun going?"
Jin Yinan: "Follow me."
He said, walking toward the assembly line behind the high-speed stamping machine.
It was a long table made of several iron tables, with workers sitting on both sides, polishing and assembling stamped parts such as the sear, recoil spring, and trigger.
Jin Yinan walked from the two workers in the last row to Ye Anran with a brand new M3 submachine gun.
He handed the M3 submachine gun to Ye Anran with both hands, "Vice Chairman Ye, it's successful."
Ma Jinhai, who was standing on Ye Anran's side, was confused.
His eyes widened when he saw the strange submachine gun in Jin Yinan's hand.
Ma Jinhai asked in confusion: "Vice Chairman Ye, what kind of gun is this? Why does it look like this?"
Ye Anran took the M3 submachine gun from Jin Yinan, and he pulled the trigger very smoothly.
Not the slightest sense of frustration.
It is smoother and more comfortable than the MP18 submachine gun.
"Are there any bullets?"
"have."
Jin Yinan ran to find bullets. When he came back, he also brought a submachine gun to Ma Jinhai.
The three of them arrived at the shooting range in the backyard of the arsenal. Ye Anran loaded the magazine full of bullets into the submachine gun.
