This is the duty of the guard. Don't look at the back. Li Yunlong's independent regiment is equipped with a guard platoon.
But that is to protect the safety of the entire independent regiment headquarters, including the independent regiment's political commissar, deputy commander, cadres of various agencies, etc.
It is not to protect Li Yunlong alone, so if it is true that Su Bei is equipped with a guard platoon or even a guard company according to what the chief said.
The treatment is not comparable to that of ordinary regiment commanders and brigade commanders. In terms of status, it is already equivalent to that of division commanders.
A guard platoon has more than thirty people. If you look at it separately, there are more than thirty guards. On the other hand, Li Yunlong is the leader.
There is only one guard, and the brigade commander only has two or three guards at most, let alone a guard company. A guard company has about two hundred people.
It can be seen from this that if we really follow what the chief said and equip Northern Jiangsu with a guard platoon or even a guard company.
Then his status is at least equivalent to that of the division commander of the Eighth Route Army, which can be said to be a step to the sky.
After all, a brigade commander only has three guards, but Subei alone will be equipped with more than thirty guards, which is equivalent to the treatment of more than ten brigade commanders combined.
It can only be said that the commander of the 129th Division was shocked by what he said.
In this regard, the chief also knew how big the subsequent impact of this incident would be, so he has been hesitant.
"Yes, that's pretty much what I mean. In my opinion, Comrade Xiao Su is a top talent. He can equal a division by himself."
"Do you know what the current output of the arsenal in the Taihang Mountains is? Four thousand M1 Garand rifles can be produced in a month."
"Based on this output, after we give these ten machine tools to Xiao Su, this output can be doubled."
"If nothing else happens, the monthly output of the arsenal will be at least tens of thousands of M1 Garand rifles. How long will it take?"
"Xiao Su has increased the arsenal's production to this level within a month of taking office. So now you know why I want to assign him a guard platoon or even a guard company."
At first, the commander of the 129th Division thought the commander's idea was too hasty, but now when he heard these words.
I finally understand why the chief made this decision. Good guy, in less than a month, the output of the arsenal has increased to this point.
Ten thousand M1 Garand rifles a month are enough to arm five main regiments. If this kind of production were put aside before.
Not to mention that they have this idea, they would not dare to do it even in their dreams. The output is really amazing.
If this continues, within half a year to a year at the latest, this M1 Garand rifle will be able to arm the entire Eighth Route Army.
To truly achieve self-sufficiency in weapons, you must know that what the Eighth Route Army lacks most now is weapons, among many troops.
On average, two or three people only have one gun. Not only rifles, but also very few bullets. On average, each person has less than five bullets.
............
If Subei can really solve this big problem, it will be a great achievement for the entire Eighth Route Army.
With this credit in hand, Su Bei is almost equivalent to a death-free gold medal in the Eighth Route Army.
It is of great significance, but even so, if a guard platoon or even a guard company is directly assigned to North Jiangsu, it will definitely have a great impact.
Others don't know these achievements of Subei. Besides, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. The fewer people know, the more secure the safety of Subei will be.
Thinking of this, the commander of the 129th Division had no good solution for the moment.
"Chief, from this point of view, Su Bei can indeed defeat an entire division with just himself, and that's just with rifles."
"I believe that as time goes by, Su Bei will definitely be able to produce technical drawings of machine guns and artillery. After all, when he was in Mao Xiong Country."
"I have participated in research in this area, and I must have some experience. Now we are short of time, but it is really inappropriate to arrange a guard platoon for Jiangsu North all at once."
"I think we can arrange a guard squad first. After Su Bei has researched more technical drawings of weapons, we can then arrange a guard platoon and guard company for him, step by step."
After hearing this suggestion, the chief thought about it and felt that it was feasible, and then nodded.
"Well, let's go with your idea. You are indeed right. If we give it to a guard company as soon as we come up, it will make it clear to other forces."
"Comrade Xiao Su is very unusual. If the little devil finds out, he will definitely take action at all costs. By then Comrade Xiao Su will be in danger."
"Well, Chief, I think in addition to this security class, we can also place more troops around the arsenal to protect the safety of northern Jiangsu and the entire arsenal."
"That's right, your proposal is okay, just do as you say."
So, after a brief discussion with a few people, the chief sent a security squad to Su Bei.
At the same time, two regiments were placed near the arsenal. In this way, the safety of northern Jiangsu was greatly guaranteed.
It can be imagined how important Su Bei is in the eyes of the chief and others. After all, he can make the chief say that one person is worth one division.
At present, only Northern Jiangsu can enjoy this treatment. Not long after, the guard squad arranged by the chief for Northern Jiangsu arrived at the arsenal.
At the same time, there were ten machine tools and a large amount of raw materials. When the machine tools first arrived at the arsenal, Wang Ming told Su Bei the news.
After receiving the news, Su Bei rushed to the factory where the ten machine tools and raw materials were stored.
When looking at the ten machine tools placed in front of him, Su Bei was very excited.
"Hahahaha! Lao Wang, now that we have these ten machine tools, the output of our arsenal will be greatly increased again."
Having said this, Su Bei thought of something again, and then continued to speak.
"By the way, Lao Wang, do you still have enough workers? After these ten machine tools are put into production, we will still need dozens of people."
Wang Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'm reporting to the factory director that there are enough workers at the moment, but if the director sends another batch of machine tools in a few days, there won't be enough manpower."
These words made Su Bei rub his chin and start thinking. Now it is time to increase manpower in the arsenal.
