After Guo Dapeng and his five teammates finished their dinner, they followed the instructor to Mount Mengshan. They were a little nervous. The instructor once said that anyone with ulterior motives would not escape the captain's eyes. Although they did not have any ulterior motives, they were inevitably nervous facing the last hurdle of joining the team.

We arrived at the place, which was a huge cave. There was already a team lined up outside the cave. Seventy or eighty people would take part in the review tonight. As long as they passed the review, they would be added to the second and third battalions, and tomorrow they could train with the real Yimeng guerrillas.

The review was very quick, taking only two or three minutes for each person, and the fastest one came out in less than a minute. After coming out, someone took them away, and the others continued. Wei Daqiang waited for two hours, and it was almost their turn when suddenly screams were heard from the cave, and then two guards dragged a new recruit out. They then lifted the curtain to see a bright light, and Wei Daqiang was surprised to find that the new recruit had nails on his wrists, and blood was gushing out.

A young man came out of the cave. He turned out to be the chief instructor. Could it be that the chief instructor was the captain? The chief instructor spoke:

"Handed him over to the interrogation team for a surprise interrogation. He's a native of Yinan and he doesn't even know what scallion pancakes are or what rice dumplings are used for the Dragon Boat Festival. The Japanese are becoming more and more useless, sending such trash as a spy."

The injured recruit did not refute, but stared at the chief instructor:

"Captain Leng Qiang, our soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire will capture Mengshan sooner or later, and by then, no one on Mengshan will be left alive."

"Okay, stop talking harshly. There are tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers buried at the foot of the mountain, and you are one of them. But first, try the hospitality of our interrogation team! Take him away, next one."

Finally, it was Guo Dapeng's turn. He was a little panicked at first, but when he entered the cave and saw the chief instructor looking at him with a smile, he suddenly calmed down.

"Guo Dapeng, are you from Linyi? We have set up a tent together, right?"

"Report to the chief instructor, yes, we also had dinner together on the grass."

"Just call me captain, please introduce yourself first!"

"Captain, my name is Guo Dapeng. I'm from Liyi Village, Chashan, Linyi. Last year, our village was harmed by Liu Heiqi, and it was the captain who avenged us. The village where the captain eliminated Liu Heiqi is only three miles away from our village. The explosion that night collapsed our cowshed. Last year, you formed a guerrilla force, and I was captured by the Japanese as a laborer on the way to join you. I just escaped a few days ago, went home to see my mother, and then came here."

Chen Feng carefully observed Guo Dapeng's eyes, which were full of gratitude and admiration without any flicker. After talking for another two minutes and confirming that Guo Dapeng had no problem, Chen Feng asked Guo Dapeng to go out and called the next one to come in.

Guo Dapeng was very excited. He successfully joined the Second Battalion of the Yimeng Guerrillas and met the legendary captain of the cold gun. The key point was that he had worked and eaten with him, and the captain still remembered him. He was so lucky.

Chen Feng worked until nine o'clock to complete the review. The spy also confessed. No one could withstand the interrogation of the interrogation team. These people were all handed over by Chen Feng personally. As long as they did not commit suicide immediately, no information on them would be left behind. The spy just now was from the newly established Shandong Special High Section. He came to Mengshan mainly to find out the next move of the Yimeng guerrillas. He didn't need to worry about anything else. If they wanted to take action on the Jinpu line, they had to pass the news back no matter what.

Chen Feng was somewhat amused. Are the Japanese afraid? The Jinpu Line cannot be moved for the time being. First, the Japanese army has strengthened its vigilance and mobilized more than 10,000 troops from all over North China to the Jinpu Line to garrison with the 34th Division. The defense capability has been greatly improved. Second, the Yimeng guerrillas are expanding their army. Before the new recruits form combat effectiveness, it is not appropriate to have a major war.

Every day there are new recruits going up the mountain, and every day there are new recruits coming to join the army. The number of new recruits at the foot of the mountain has increased instead of decreased. When 800 people were added to the mountain, there were still 1,200 new recruits at the foot of the mountain.

The vacancies left by the two battalions were filled, and the four battalions became two reinforced battalions. The number of people remained unchanged, and the combat effectiveness declined slightly due to the arrival of 800 new recruits. However, with the passage of time, the combat effectiveness will gradually increase.

The training of the new recruits at the foot of the mountain is crucial. The situation of the Battle of Wuhan is getting worse and worse. A secret report came from the Fifth War Zone that Chongqing was already discussing withdrawing troops. The top leaders did not want to consume all their core forces on the Wuhan battlefield. The goal of the battle had been achieved. What they wanted was to preserve their strength and enter a strategic stalemate.

On May 1939, 5, Johannes sent another telegram, saying that the ship had set off and Johannes was also on board. This time he also brought 10 rocket launchers. Of the rocket launchers this year, only could be delivered in the first half of the year, and the rest would be completed before the end of the year in the second half of the year. However, this time he brought rockets, which was considered to be the standard of rocket launchers.

In addition to the bazooka and rockets, the two machine tools Liu Kuang wanted were also on board. These two machine tools were ordered by Chen Feng from Krupp through Schweinweidel's relationship. Although they were not mother machine tools, they were much better than ordinary machine tools. Schweinweidel was grateful to Chen Feng for the opportunity he gave through the rocket launcher, and was also grateful to Chen Feng for the regiment flag and lieutenant general's command sword he sent. Through his unremitting efforts, he got Chen Feng two of the world's most advanced machine tools.

Liu Kuang has now become the director of the arsenal of the Yimeng guerrillas. His subordinates have increased from two to twenty. In addition to researching time bombs, his main task now is to repair weapons.

There is a wide cave on Mount Mengshan, which is tens of meters deep. It is full of weapons captured from the Japanese army, but they are all broken. In fact, most of them can be repaired and used. In the past, there was no talent in this area, so they could only be thrown there as scrap metal. Fortunately, the cave is low in temperature and dry all year round, so there is no large-scale rust problem.

Liu Kuang found out about this cave and made his home in it. He brought twenty master craftsmen with him and spent the whole day dismantling the Japanese weapons. Some mortars were just missing a screw, and some machine guns just needed the trigger replaced. It would be a waste of resources to leave them here.

Chen Feng has been to the cave several times, and every time he saw Liu Kuang, he was always busy. Although Chen Feng didn't care much about these shabby things, the fear of insufficient firepower was engraved in his genes. Having more weapons would not be a disadvantage, so he just let this workaholic go crazy!

Although it is possible to purchase German weapons, this is not a long-term solution. It is hard to say whether the Germans will continue to sell arms to the Chinese after they sign an alliance treaty with the Japanese next year.

Every time Liu Kuang saw Chen Feng, he would ask where the machine tool was. Many weapon parts were missing. As long as the machine tool arrived, these parts could be processed, and then there would be a new batch of heavy firepower weapons.
