Galen suddenly became interested, and he wondered: "What's the difference?"
As the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, he has no good impression of the Northeastern Army.
As the earliest general in exile in Belarus to aid China, he greatly admired the Chinese people's spirit of serious study and courageous resistance to the enemy.
Only the Northeastern Army cannot be admired by Galen.
Especially the defeated Xiao Liuzi. As soon as Galen heard his name, he wanted to beat him!
The first time he and Xiaoliuzi fought was because of the China Eastern Railway incident, and the second time was when Xiaoliuzi withdrew 200,000 troops from the Northeast.
This act of abandoning the territory and people of the motherland makes Gallen feel shameless! !
The establishment of the puppet Manchukuo also put the national borders of the Soviet Far East in danger.
Gallen was a little worried. If he decided to reinforce Hecheng, Ye Anran would flee the battle just like Xiao Liuzi.
In the end, it will lead to a stalemate between the Soviets and the Japanese.
This trip into troubled waters was too costly for the Far Eastern Front and for Moscow.
Ivanov was very serious and reported to Gallen everything Ma Jinshan did in his decisive battle with Jiang Qiao and Ye Anran became the vice chairman of the Black Province.
"Currently, all light and heavy industries in Hecheng are controlled by Ye Anran."
"They have been recruiting new soldiers extensively recently, accelerating the production of weapons and equipment, and killed thousands of Japs in the city in one night."
"Now, traffic trenches are being built both inside and outside the city. Ye Anran and Ma Jinshan are ready to fight the Japanese to the death."
"General, if the Northeast is completely settled and the Japanese have no worries, the next place that will be uneasy will be our Far East."
Ivanov expressed his analysis and quoted the Chinese classic "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold" to introduce the current situation of China and the Soviet Union.
Galen was stunned. If things were really as Ivanov said, he really needed to think about it.
He took two submachine guns and confirmed to Ivanov again: "Old friend, are you sure this is something that Hecheng can produce??"
He is going to the Kremlin to see Mr. Dalin.
There is no room for moisture when it comes to butter submachine guns.
Ivanov stood up and said: "General, I am willing to guarantee my life!"
"Okay, wait until I get back to drink the wine!"
"Guards, prepare the car and go to the Kremlin."
After Gallen finished speaking, a military vehicle stopped in front of him. He opened the door and pointed to the small wine on the table, "Wait for me!"
"Okay General."
Ivanov saluted Galen and watched his car drive away.
He looked up in the direction of Hecheng and murmured to himself: "Friend, this is all I can do for you."
Crane City.
Ye Anran, Ma Jinshan, and Xie Ke inspected the Angang River and Sanjianfang positions.
The veterans are digging trenches, communication trenches, and building parapets and bunkers.
Recruits undergoing firearms training.
Due to tight time and heavy tasks, the new recruits were unable to receive physical training. Veterans drawn from various units were conducting firearms troubleshooting and shooting instruction for them.
Xie Ke followed Ye Anran and looked at the entire battlefield. Civil engineering work was going on everywhere.
In front of the trench is a parapet 1.5 meters high. The parapet is made of a mixture of stones and sandbags and can withstand light and heavy machine gun attacks.
It can also block bullets for the logistics support troops transporting supplies.
Ma Jinshan stood on the parapet and looked down, "Brother, if you stand on this parapet and set up a light machine gun, and shoot down a bunch of bullets, a lot of Japanese will die, right? It's so damn enjoyable!"
Ye Anran held up the telescope and looked down.
The first line of defense at the bottom is a barbed wire fence.
Barbed wire coiled around wooden stakes wedged into the earth stretched to surround the entire plateau.
About a hundred yards behind the barbed wire is a trench one and a half meters deep, and on the hillsides on both sides are newly built steel and cement machine gun bunkers.
Ye Anran entered the bunker.
Xie Ke introduced: "The bunker has a machine gun shooting port, and the door is welded by Jingang Group using 80 cm steel plates."
bunker
"The cement comes from a local Japanese cement factory. The entire fortification is made of cement, gravel, and steel bars."
"In this place, as long as the people inside don't come out, the devils outside can't do anything about it even if they use cannons and planes!"
Ye Anran touched the cement wall with even thickness.
Judging from the power of the current 105 mm caliber heavy artillery, it is indeed impossible to destroy the machine gun bunker in front of you.
He dusted off his hands and said, "Brother, Chief of Staff, transfer me an engineering regiment."
Ma Jinshan: "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you right away. Is one enough? Two groups!"
He now admires Ye Anran from the bottom of his heart.
When Gao Qiqiang came to deliver the door and steel bars in person, he originally wanted to give money, but he refused to accept it!
Coupled with the recent boom in the arsenal, Ma Jinshan did not dare to go to Ye Anran to talk about military deployment.
He was afraid that if he went, he would be wasting time.
Ye Anran led two engineering regiments, and then said goodbye to Xie Ke and Ma Jinhai.
Xie Ke looked at Ye Anran who was riding away with his whip, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Ye is such a worried person!"
Ma Jinshan: "Tell me, why does he need two engineering regiments?"
Xie Ke shook his head, "Commander, we really can't guess!"
"I always feel that Brother Ye's knowledge reserve is slightly higher than Zhuge Liang's!"
"Hahaha!"
Ma Jinshan laughed loudly. This should be Xie Ke's highest praise for Ye Anran.
night.
Ye Anran called on the commanders and fighters above the platoon level of the two engineering regiments to gather in the shadow regiment.
He drew a trapezoidal triangular prism on paper.
Then circulate the contents on the paper to all commanders present.
Bai Yang, the commander of the 1st Independent Brigade Engineering Corps, looked at the strange graphics on it and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Vice Chairman Ye, what is this?"
"This is called dragon tooth abroad, but we call it anti-tank cone."
Ye Anran demonstrated it on the spot using cement and stones. Soon, an anti-tank cone with a height of about half a meter from the bottom to the tip appeared in front of everyone.
"There will definitely be tanks when the Japanese army attacks. Your task is to place such anti-tank cones on all roads south of Ang Ang Creek."
The (Dragon Tooth) anti-tank cone widely used in World War II
"I will send a shadow group to transport cement and sand to you. We must complete the construction of the anti-tank cone within two days."
"In order to strengthen the hardness of the anti-tank cone, I will ask someone to prepare iron wire and steel bar heads for you. You can mix things into it to ensure its strength!"
Bai Yang, commander of the 1st Brigade Engineering Corps, and Liu Jiang, commander of the 2nd Brigade Engineering Corps stood up and responded: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"go a head."
After Ye Anran gave the order to the Engineer Corps, he immediately ordered the Shadow Corps to go to Guangchuan Automobile Factory to pick up the one hundred military trucks.
Including the original trucks of the Shadow Regiment, a total of 120 trucks were set in motion.
They loaded cement from the Hecheng Cement Plant, then loaded a truck of steel scrap from the Jinggang Group, and went straight to the Sanjianfang and Angangxi forward positions.
The whole scene was so grand that Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke, who were inspecting the work, were stunned.
Ye Anran used the remaining time to enter the universal tool box.
He drew a drawing of a sapper's shovel in his tool box.
Currently, the shovels used by engineers to dig trenches are not hard enough, the wooden handles are too long, the shovels are square and inconvenient to carry.
Especially in the future, when the infantry is equipped with submachine guns, without bayonets, they will suffer in close combat with Japanese soldiers.
The engineer shovel has a wide range of functions. It can be used to kill people, and it can also be used to carry out civil engineering works. It can chop people, shoot people, and fry eggs!
Ye Anran finished the drawing and looked at the remaining 160,000 points.
"You won't have to decipher the equipment for stamping the engineer shovel for a year, right?"
