Xie Tian flew to Meng County and saw the bombed train on the railway. The railway line was also damaged. Soldiers and workers were busy rescuing people and making repairs at the scene.
After a brief conversation with Qin Fen, the on-site commander, Xie Tian followed the railway line and almost chased the aircraft formation out of Shanxi without seeing any Japs. When he came back, he saw a dozen Japs digging a cemetery in Niangzi Pass. Xie Tian was reluctant to surrender. The cluster bomb knocked down a few Japs with one dive and strafed, and the rest of the Japs buzzed and fled in all directions like frightened flies.
Xie Tian scolded his mother and returned to Taiyuan. It was already dusk when he returned to Dayanglou.
Thinking of Li Chunxiang, Xie Tian had a headache. He knew that Tang Haoer must have told Li Chunxiang about Lao Cui, and he didn't know what state this woman was in now.
Xie Tian bravely walked into Dayang Building. He didn't see Tang Haoer and Li Chunxiang in the living room. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked upstairs with a heavy heart.
The 22nd Army Aviation Brigade stationed by the Japanese in Shijiazhuang has now become a thorn in Xie Tian's side. They are fighting guerrillas with Xie Tian. Unless this thorn in the side is removed, there will be no peace in the transportation lines within the territory. Moreover, the gathering of troops must be guarded against. They come suddenly.
After going up to the second floor, Xie Tian was just about to open the office door when he heard someone talking upstairs. He listened to identify it, let out a sigh of relief, let go of the door handle, and walked upstairs.
Some things always have to be faced.
On the terrace on the third floor, Tang Haoer, who was holding Li Chunxiang's hand and talking, saw Xie Tian coming up. He smiled bitterly and stood up to greet Xie Tian. He pretended to help Xie Tian dust himself off and said in a low voice: "Talk to her, I I told her, but she only cried for a while and then calmed down. I felt weird and I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to think about it.”
Xie Tian grunted and walked towards Li Chunxiang. Tang Haoer said, "You sit down first and I'll change the pot of hot tea for you."
Xie Tian stood where Tang Haoer had just done and looked at Li Chunxiang.
Li Chunxiang stared at Xie Tian and asked, "Look what I'm doing. Did Lao Cui bring it back to me?"
Xie Tian coughed lightly: "Old Cui and the injured are still in the hospital in Meng County for the time being. I will arrange for someone to send Lao Cui back to Dagu Town."
Li Chunxiang quickly wiped away the tears that had rolled down from the corner of his eyes and said cheerfully: "There is no one who can't die in a war. Our old Cui was short-lived. Seeing that good times were coming, he left, even when he was about to die. Meet his son.”
Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Chunxiang and said, "You can make any requests, and the army will definitely find a way to help you solve them."
Li Chunxiang looked at Xie Tian and said quite simply: "Okay, you raise me and be the father of my son."
Xie Tian was stunned for a moment, then solemnly nodded to Li Chunxiang: "Yes, your son will be my son from now on."
Li Chunxiang didn't expect that Xie Tian would agree so happily. She was stunned for a moment and muttered: "I don't need you to pity us two. I will give birth to the child and raise him up."
Xie Tian shook his head and looked at Li Chunxiang and said, "I'm serious."
Xie Tian is really serious. Because of the matter of Lao Cui and Li Chunxiang, he just thought about it and decided to add another article to the original pension system. For all fallen soldiers who have children who are underage, the local government will provide welfare assistance to their families. Raise minor children to adulthood.
At the same time, the government will also establish a special welfare agency to take care of unsupported minor children and unsupported elderly people, so as to relieve soldiers from worries.
Of course, this policy is only suitable within the liberated areas where Xie Tian can make the decision. As for other places, Xie Tian cannot reach it for the time being, and other rulers will not follow the welfare policies formulated by Xie Tian.
Li Chunxiang and Xie Tian looked at each other for a moment, then her pretty face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head and whispered, "Old Cui's body is still cold, so it's not appropriate to say this now."
Xie Tian couldn't help coughing violently.
Sister, where did you think you were?
Is it because I didn't express it clearly enough, or did you get it wrong?
At night, the three of them had dinner together. The dinner was cooked by Li Chunxiang and Tang Haoer. It still tasted like Lao Cui, but the topic of Lao Cui was never discussed again at the dinner table.
After dinner, Xie Tian became busy again. Uncle Deng from the arsenal brought Xu Jinghao with him to report to Xie Tian about the test firing of the high-speed machine gun today. Uncle Deng also brought the drawings, but he brought The drawings that came have been reduced to three, and two more models are XBQ-2 and XBQ-3.
The XBQ-2 high-speed machine gun is specially designed for vehicle mounting. After installing a bracket, the XBQ-2 high-speed machine gun can be mounted on tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, jeeps and other vehicles.
The XBQ-3 high-speed machine gun is specially designed for infantry. The machine gun caliber is changed to 5.56 caliber. This change reduces the weight of the XBQ-3 high-speed machine gun from 32.5 kg to 18 kg, which is 10.5 kg heavier than the Czech light machine gun. Not much more, it is already suitable for individual operation.
"Death Cannon, this is a good name." Xie Tian nodded at Xu Jinghao. As for what XBQ-1, 2, and 3 represent, there is no need to worry too much. There is no point in worrying.
Xu Jinghao smiled: "As long as you agree."
Xie Tian nodded and said: "Jinghao, I give you a task. You design an anti-aircraft weapon based on the Death Cannon. The caliber should not be less than 20 mm. In this way, as long as one bullet hits the enemy aircraft, it can basically destroy it. The combat capabilities of enemy aircraft.”
Xu Jinghao nodded: "Uncle Deng told me about the attack on our train. I will complete the design as soon as possible."
Uncle Deng couldn't help but grinned and said, "The cost is too high."
Based on the Death Cannon, an anti-aircraft weapon with a caliber of no less than 20 mm is designed. As long as this anti-aircraft weapon is fired, it will be nothing but money.
Seeing Uncle Deng's expression, Xie Tianyi smiled and handed Uncle Deng a cigarette to light for him, and said: "Uncle Deng, we have to calculate the score like this. If a thousand rounds of bullets can bring down a Japanese plane, then we can That’s a lot of money.”
Deng Bo smiled bitterly and took out a piece of paper from the leather bag he brought and handed it to Xie Tian: "This is the account, Commander-in-Chief, I came to you today to ask for money."
Xie Tian took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. Xu Jinghao, who was standing by him, reached out and picked up Xie Tian's pack of cigarettes from the table, took out a cigarette, and said, "This man is so stingy that he can't even bear to give him a cigarette." I have one, and it will be difficult for you to ask him for money."
Xie Tian then remembered that Xu Jinghao smoked. He smiled apologetically and hurriedly picked up the lighter to help Xu Jinghao light the cigarette. He smiled and said, "It's not like outsiders don't know how to take it themselves. It's pretentious."
Xu Jinghao smiled and said to Uncle Deng: "This man's mouth is as thick as his face. He obviously did something wrong and he still wants to beat him up."
When the old monk Deng Bo entered concentration, he looked at his eyes, his nose, his mouth, his mouth, and his heart, and he just had to recite one sentence of Amitabha.
Xie Tian read Uncle Deng's subscription report and readily picked up the pen from the table, signed his name, handed it back to Uncle Deng and said, "I will give you an extra two hundred thousand. As for how to spend the money, you decide for yourself, but What I want is..."
Uncle Deng chuckled and took the piece of paper with both hands, interrupting Xie Tian: "Guarantee the supply."
