Independent 1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade, Artillery Brigade, regimental commanders, regimental deputy, regimental chief of staff and all commanders.
They were like towering pines, standing erect in front of many officers.
It was as if there were roots under their feet, firmly entrenched into the fertile soil of Crane City.
"101st Division!"
"I will never give up!"
"101st Division!"
"I will never give up!"
The entire front finger resounded with the voices of commanders and fighters at all levels of the 101st Division.
The sound was like thunder, a bolt from the blue.
From their eyes, Ye Anran saw death as if he were at home.
Ye Anran saluted his brothers.
The ceremony is over.
He turned to look at Ma Zhanshan, "Commander, my brothers and I will never retreat until we die!"
Ma Zhanshan immediately stood up.
He saluted Ye Anran.
"Brother, this is what I've been waiting for!"
"This time, even if there are enemy ambush from all sides, even if we are isolated and helpless, you and I will defend the people of Hecheng and the territory of our motherland to the death!!"
When Ma Zhanshan's voice fell.
The whole front finger and all the officers all stood up.
"I will never give up!"
"Swear to the death to defend the people of Hecheng and defend the territory of the motherland!!"
Ma Zhanshan turned around and saluted all the officers present to thank him!
at the same time.
He ordered Xie Ke to electrify the whole country.
Make the current tense situation in the Northeast known to the public.
Same day.
Ye Anran's 101st Division moved from Jingxing, Duonai Station and Wuxing to Gannan, Yangjiatun and Buxi, the north gate of Hecheng.
Five o'clock.
End of the meeting.
Only Jiang Hai, commander of the 102nd Division, and Cai Yong, commander of the 103rd Division, are left in the front finger.
Six people, Ma Zhanshan, Ma Zhanhai and Xie Ke.
Ye Anran is most worried about the 103rd Division.
at present.
The 103rd Division is equivalent to taking over the position of the 101st.
The Japanese they faced were much more difficult to defeat than conventional troops.
Ma Zhanshan looked at Ye Anran.
"Brother, once your artillery brigade leaves, my 102 and 103 will be a little empty!"
Xie Ke cooperated, "Yes! The 101st artillery brigade is equipped with 50 field guns, and the 102 and 103 combined are only 25."
How do you say this?
Before Lei Suisheng's artillery brigade entered the division headquarters, he was the artillery brigade of the entire Northeast Army.
It is the only fire support unit.
Today, the artillery brigade is organized into the 101st Division.
The firepower weaknesses of the other two divisions also emerged.
Jiang Hai and Cai Yong were embarrassed to speak.
Then wait until the meeting is over.
I want to find Ye Anran to get some field guns.
Ye Anran walked to the phone and hung up the phone to Jin Yinan from the arsenal.
Inquired about the 105 mm artillery.
during this time.
Lei Suisheng's artillery brigade did not receive new artillery requirements.
Especially after fighting Domen Ergou and Suzuki Bu Liang.
Lei Suisheng's artillery brigade is fully studying the 150mm 32-times howitzer.
There is not much demand for 105mm field guns!
This resulted in Jin Yinan having some inventory.
This is why Jin Yinan is not in a hurry to transfer old employees and use apprentices to continue producing 105 mm field guns.
"How many 105 field guns are there?"
"Vice Chairman Ye, not much, eighty!"
Ye Anran was confused, "Eighty?"
"Door?"
"Yes, Vice Chairman Ye. Recently, Brigadier Lei has not received new artillery. In order to rush production, we have used more than half of the youth from the University of Technology to produce artillery!"
"Eighty guns, twelve thousand rounds."
…
Ye Anran was completely confused.
This kid Jin Yinan is not only reliable.
He's pretty damn good at living.
"Notify the logistics support force to equip each artillery unit of the 102nd and 103rd divisions with 40 artillery pieces."
"Each division is given 5,000 rounds of artillery shells."
"yes!"
…
This phone call.
Ma Zhanshan, Ma Zhanhai, Xie Ke and others were stunned.
Cai Yong and Jiang Hai were stunned.
This, this is forty artillery pieces? ? ?
Ye Anran hung up the phone and looked at Cai Yong and Jiang Hai.
"Brothers, we don't have many cannons, so you should pull them over first and use them."
"They are all 105mm artillery pieces. Each division will give you 40 pieces and 5,000 rounds of artillery shells!"
…
"Thank you, Vice Chairman Ye!"
"thanks, thanks!"
Ye Anran looked at Ma Zhanshan.
He stared at himself dumbfounded.
"Brother, you are such a rich man!"
"That thing is an artillery piece. You can produce so many at once???"
"Brother, this is why we can't give up on Crane City."
"The Crane City behind us is currently a treasure. In the future, there will not only be submachine guns and automatic rifles, but also tanks and aircraft!"
Ye Anran said very seriously.
He was not bragging to Ma Zhanshan.
Once the aircraft dynamics engineers arrived at Crane City.
Then the aircraft factory will be operational immediately.
By the time Mikhail arrives at the heavy vehicle factory, the tank will soon be on line.
Chatted with Ma Zhanshan and others for a while.
Ye Anran and Cai Yong exchanged their experiences in special operations, hoping that he could take precautions when targeting the Sixth Brigade and the Japanese Rapid Reaction Force.
eight pm.
Ye Pingran inspected the troops building trenches at the North Gate.
A Ford sedan was parked at the north gate.
The people in the car haven't gotten out of the car yet.
Ma Zhanhai motioned to Ye Anran to look in the direction of the car.
Ye Anran looked along the road and saw Xia Qiancheng, wearing an evening dress, standing against the wind.
Ye Anran hurried to the car.
"Miss Xia, why are you here?"
"Vice Chairman Ye, my father Xia Liguo would like to get to know you."
"He has entrusted me to invite you to his home for a meal."
Facing the polite Xia Qiancheng.
Ye Anran felt like she was a different person.
He handed over the on-site work to Ma Zhanhai, said thank you to Xia Qiancheng, and got into the car.
A faint scent of lavender came to my face.
Ye Anran smelled very comfortable.
Xia Qiancheng sat aside.
She glanced at Ye Anran cautiously and felt her cheeks burning.
She looked out the window and said slowly: "I heard that the Foot Pot Chicken issued an announcement requesting the Northeastern Army to withdraw from Hecheng within five days."
"Otherwise, Crane City will be bombed with aircraft and artillery. Is it true?"
Ye Anran: "It's true."
"Will you withdraw?"
Xia Qiancheng's face was turned sideways, gentle and warm, with firm eyes that lasted forever.
"Don't withdraw!"
When he said that he would not withdraw, a blush appeared on Xia Qiancheng's cheeks.
The car stopped in front of Xia Mansion.
Uncle Dong got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Anran.
Accompanied by Xia Qiancheng, Ye Anran walked into Xia Mansion.
Xia Mansion is a three-story courtyard, which is a landmark building in Hecheng besides the provincial capital.
Standing in front of the main entrance was an old man wearing Chinese tunic suit.
Seeing Ye Anran, the old man greeted him with a smile.
"I've heard about Vice Chairman Ye for a long time, but when I saw him today, he was really extraordinary."
Ye Anran walked up to the old man.
He shook hands with the old man.
"My father, Xia Liguo."
"Father, Ye Anran, Vice Chairman of the Black Province."
Xia Qiancheng softly introduced the two of them.
"Mr. Xia, thank you!"
"Please, please, please."
Xia Liguo was so enthusiastic that he almost took Ye Anran's hand into the room and asked Xia Qiancheng to make tea.
Whether before or now.
This is probably the most terrifying time for Ye Anran.
This is the first time in his life that he has met his parents.
Still a veteran of the Three People's Principles! !
Ye Anran was so flattered that after sitting down in the main hall, he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Xia Qiancheng's father.
Xia Qiancheng was busy making tea.
He placed the cut fruits in front of Ye Anran, and then stood behind Ye Anran politely.
Xia Liguo has a handsome face, a sharp eyebrow, and a cheerful smile.
"Vice Chairman Ye doesn't have to be formal. Coming here is like coming to your own home."
"Mr. Xia, just call me Xiaoye."
Ye Anran said nervously.
"Then don't call me Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, and just call me Uncle Xia."
"I call you An Ran."
Xia Liguo is very open-minded.
In just a few sentences, the issue of address can be summed up.
Ye Anran also felt that calling him uncle would reduce the pressure on him.
Xia Liguo raised his head and said, "An Ran, I heard from Chengcheng that you want to recruit pilots and engineering experts. Tell us what you think."
"Do you think the Japanese will give you a chance to build a big city in Hecheng?"
"Uncle Xia."
"Our arsenal is running very well right now."
"While the whole country is unable to provide reinforcements to the Northeast Army, we are producing self-sufficiency."
"Right now, the Japanese will definitely not give us much time to prepare."
"But we still have to survive in the cracks."
"The Japanese are determined to annex China, not the three northeastern provinces. We have no choice but to fight the Japanese to the bitter end!"
Xia Liguo nodded heavily.
"You're right, we have to survive in the cracks."
"I'll introduce you to a friend, Liu Jingjing."
After he finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out from behind the screen.
Xia Liguo introduced: "Liu Jingjing, a native of Kaifeng, Henan Province, received a Geng Grant to study abroad in 1917, studying at the University of California and the University of Michigan in the United States."
"Obtained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering. In 1924, he worked in the Aviation Department of the Northeast Army under the leadership of Xiao Liuzi. He made a name for himself in the world's aviation industry by designing the "Bregette" aircraft propeller!"
Ye Anran was stunned.
He originally thought that when he arrived at Xia Mansion, Xia Qiancheng wanted to take him to meet his family...
Smaller.
Smaller.
The layout is too small!
Ye Anran had seen this man of God in his textbooks. In 1933, he served as the director of the Jinling Aviation Repair Plant!
When he saw Liu Jingjing, it was like seeing a P51 Mustang fighter jet flying in the sky! ! !
