"No, the soldiers below have never seen such things at all. Maybe I am the only one in the entire independent regiment who has seen these things."
"I know what they look like, so if I want to go to the county to find out about these things, I have to go there myself."
Li Yunlong did not persuade Zhao Gang on this point. Although this trip was indeed dangerous, judging from the orders above, this matter was very important.
Otherwise, the leaders above would not have asked their independent group to obtain this batch of materials in the shortest possible time at all costs.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the chief's idea. The importance of the current Taihang Mountain Arsenal to the entire Eighth Route Army is self-evident.
The rifles and light machine guns currently in the hands of the Eighth Route Army are all from this arsenal. Once something unexpected happens at the Taihang Mountain arsenal.
Then these M1 Garand rifles and DP light machine guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army will become scrap metal, because among the entire Eighth Route Army.
Only the Taihang Mountain Arsenal can produce corresponding original bullets and reloaded bullets, and the chief believes that it relies on Jiangsu Bei's ability.
The M1 Garand rifle and DP light machine gun are just the beginning. As time goes by, heavy machine guns and artillery will definitely follow.
Even an iron bastard like the Little Devil is possible, but the premise is that the Taihang Mountain Arsenal is not destroyed by the Little Devil.
It is precisely because of this that, in the leader's view, if the Taihang Mountain Arsenal can be guaranteed to be foolproof, it will be considered as an independent regiment.
so what? The Independent Regiment can be rebuilt after being destroyed, but if the Taihang Mountain Arsenal is destroyed by the Japs, the impact will be huge.
Not only Li Yunlong's independent regiment, but also the various units below have received this order from the leader. There is no way, the requirements for the machine tools required this time are relatively high.
Even the leader would find it difficult to obtain such machine tools. Previously, for example, the machine tools needed for the DP light machine gun could have gone to the Fourth Division of the Little Japs.
That is, they were purchased from the Osaka Division, but now it is different. For example, machine tools that can make 88mm anti-aircraft guns, the little Japanese Osaka Division.
I don't have anything like this on hand, so I have no choice but to take a step back and get the raw materials needed to make this machine tool.
Su Bei was asked to make it himself, so as soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, Li Yunlong on the side nodded.
"Yes, judging from the order issued by the chief, this matter is very important. We cannot be careless. Otherwise, we will not say that we are doing it at all costs."
"In that case, Lao Zhao, let's set off now to visit the nearest county town of Little Jaap. Lao Kong, you can stay in the Independent Regiment."
"The Independent Regiment has just recruited a group of new soldiers, and they still need someone to watch their training. We can't all three of us go to the county to find out information, in case something happens."
"Aren't you going to be blamed by the little devil? So I left you, Lao Kong, in the Independent Group. If anything happens to me and Lao Zhao, by then, you will have to be the leader of the Independent Group, Lao Kong."
............
Speaking of the last part, Li Yunlong was obviously joking. Although he seemed to be joking with a relaxed expression, Li Yunlong's heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.
It is not difficult to just investigate the location of these things. You just need to be careful to find them out.
But the problem now is that in addition to investigating its location, we also have to find a way to get it, which is in the little devil's county.
The current independent regiment simply does not have the ability to attack Xiaoguizi County, so it can only be said to send a small force.
Find a way to get the little devil from the county town, and then return to the independent group. During this period, no mistakes can be made.
Once the little devils notice it and block the county immediately, they will be in danger.
Several people present knew this very well, but none of them flinched. Kong Jie, who was next to him, said with a worried look on his face.
"Okay, I'll be in charge of the Independent Regiment, but Lao Li and Political Commissar Zhao, you have to pay attention to safety during this trip, after you sneak into Xiaoguizi County."
"If you really can't find a chance, let's retreat first. We'll think of a solution when the time comes. Don't really risk your life because of this matter. It's not worth it."
In response, Li Yunlong waved his hands indifferently.
"Lao Kong, don't worry. The bullet that killed me, Li Yunlong, hasn't been made yet. How can a mere brat want my life, Li Yunlong? They don't deserve it."
"That's right, Commander Kong, don't worry. Lao Li and I will be more careful this time. Lao Li, time waits for no one, let's leave as soon as possible."
"Okay, Lao Zhao, just pack up and you're ready to go."
It is worth mentioning that after Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong worked together for a period of time, the two sides became more and more familiar with each other, and they no longer called each other Captain Li and Political Commissar Zhao as before.
Instead, they directly called Lao Li and Lao Zhao. At the same time, this happened not only to the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, but also to other troops.
For example, other troops such as the 386th Brigade New Regiment and the 772nd Regiment also started to move, but they were not as bold as Li Yunlong.
A regiment leader took the political commissar to personally inquire about the news. If an accident occurred, the senior leaders of the independent regiment would almost be taken over by the little devils.
It can only be said that Li Yunlong is indeed very courageous, whether it is personally going deep into Xiaoguizi County to investigate the news this time, or attending Chu Yunfei's Hongmen Banquet alone later in the original work.
It can all be reflected, just like this, a week has passed in a blink of an eye. During this week, raw materials are constantly being transported to the arsenal from various places.
These raw materials are exactly what Northern Jiangsu needs, the machine tool materials needed to make the 88mm anti-aircraft gun. After these materials are available.
The arsenal started working overtime to make machine tools. Finally, the workers in the arsenal had been working hard for nearly a week.
Finally, several machine tools were successfully produced. It must be said that the more advanced the machine tools, the so-called higher-precision machine tools, the longer it takes to produce them.
After all, when making high-precision machine tools, no step can be sloppy, and in order to prevent everything from going wrong.
During the machine tool production process this time, Su Bei made it himself and strictly supervised every process.
