Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Liuhe Town,

In the Mulan Arsenal,

In the STG44 automatic rifle production workshop,

Suddenly a group of uninvited guests came in.

The workers in the workshop just looked up.

They all continued to be busy with the things at hand as if nothing had happened!

In the workshop, the temperature is a bit high.

These people were wearing cotton coats, and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.

The leader looked at the factory shed and the heating pipes on the surrounding walls with a complicated expression on his face.

Zhao Taihua, deputy director of the arsenal, said hurriedly,

"Commanders, all the buildings in the arsenal have heating pipes connected to the factory's own power plant. Director Yin said that we must provide workers with a comfortable working and living environment so that they can work efficiently!"

“Oh, the office and dormitory also have heating?”

"Everything has heating, the power plant operates 24 hours a day, and heating is provided 24 hours a day!"

"The conditions here are much better than those during the time of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yin Xinjun is right. The arsenal is very important. A better working environment for the workers will help improve production efficiency!"

The group came to the final assembly area and looked at the rows of brand new black automatic rifles leaning on the racks.

Everyone was discussing it.

"This gun is the greatest contribution of the Mulan Arsenal. It has greatly made up for the gap in class firepower between us and the American-equipped Kuomintang Army!"

"Is this the German gun you got?"

"That's right. Now we are fighting the Kuomintang army equipped with American weapons. If any troops think that a certain weapon is suitable for their use, they can bring the sample over and we can make a large number of copies!"

A man with shiny leather shoes walked up quickly, picked up an automatic rifle, played with it for a while, and asked,

"Deputy Director Zhao, this gun is in great demand among the troops on the front lines. How is the production now?"

"Now we produce about 50 to 60 guns a day! The artillery workshop has opened, but there are still not enough skilled workers!"

"The gun workshop is open?"

"Well, artillery is the god of war, and it is our key production task this year!"

"Let's go to the artillery workshop and take a look!"

In the artillery workshop No. 1,

A group of technicians were having a heated discussion around the drawings on the table.

"The steel mill has started operation. They have refined a batch of manganese steel for us. We can finally start making our gun barrels!"

"By the way, Da Liu, how much of the breech block your team is responsible for has been completed?"

A proud voice said,

“I’ve already made 30!”

"Xiao Yan, how many high and low gears did your team make?"

An apologetic voice said.

“I only made 10!”

"It's okay. This gear is a bit difficult to process!"

Led by Zhao Taihua, deputy director of the arsenal, a group of people came to the No. 1 workshop in the artillery area.

They watched in silence the busy lathes in the artillery workshop.

Zhao Taihua said,

"Leaders, this is the artillery area, this is workshop number one, and they are currently discussing the manufacture of the Japanese 75mm field gun! This type of artillery is lightweight and has a long range, and is the most suitable artillery for our regimental firepower!"

“Oh, do you have the design drawings?”

"Director Yin provided a complete set of drawings! Not just artillery, but also drawings of German automatic rifles!"

"Haha, no wonder he personally serves as the director of this arsenal!"

Gong Liang, the workshop director, heard the voice and turned his head. He saw several familiar figures and stood up immediately, his face flushed.

"Hello, Chief!" Gong Liang saluted!

"Hello, nice to see you again, Comrade Gong Liang!"

At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Gong Liang was responsible for imitating Japanese-style grenade launchers, providing great assistance to the front-line troops!

Zhao Taihua introduced,

"Director Gong Liang is now the director of the artillery workshop. He has issued a military order that the first artillery piece will roll off the production line on February 2, and we will strive to provide it to the troops in batches on March 15!"

All the leaders were immediately filled with surprise. The 75mm artillery is the main artillery of the troops at present. Although each unit has a batch of artillery, some of the artillery have reached the end of their life and are in urgent need of updating. If the Mulan Arsenal can supply 75 field artillery in time, the combat effectiveness of the entire Northeast Democratic Alliance Army will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

One leader laughed and said,

"Comrade Gong Liang, the conditions here are probably much better than during the Eighth Route Army period!"

Gong Liang's face was glowing red, and he immediately reported,

"Commanders, the conditions at the Mulan Arsenal are so good. We have almost everything we want. If I can't do this well, I will be sorry for the trust the organization has placed in me!"

A man hurried to Zhao Taihua's side and reported a few words in a low voice.

Zhao Taihua said,

"Commanders, you guys are launching a surprise attack, and Director Yin doesn't know about it. He just called and said he'll come over after he finishes his work at the aviation school today!"

"How far is Tonghe Navigation School from here?"

"If we drive, it will probably take at least three hours, 200 miles!"

"Then give him a call and tell him not to come. We'll go over there later!"

Tonghe County Aviation School,

In the No. 2 classroom,

Yin Xinjun is teaching 57 new students!

Now there are more than 230 pilots in the entire aviation school!

Since the flight time of Zhang Wenjiu and other five people has exceeded 5 hours, there are now six more flight instructors, which greatly speeds up the training of pilots!

This group of new students were not recruited from the aviation school, but were selected from various columns by the headquarters. These young soldiers are simple, cute, and obedient. They go to wherever the situation is most difficult and wherever they are needed!

It was already past three in the afternoon when Yin Xinjun finished his class. Zhang Wenjiu had been standing at the door of the classroom. Zhang Wenjiu walked in and whispered something to him. He immediately followed Zhang Wenjiu to the entrance of the aviation school!

The heads of headquarters came to inspect in person!

Yin Xinjun was filled with emotion. His own strength was limited. With the care and support from the headquarters, all aspects of Mulan City's undertakings were moving forward rapidly!

After a while, two trucks slowly approached the entrance of the aviation school, with green cloaks hanging on the back!

After the truck stopped, more than a dozen soldiers armed with automatic rifles got out and began to stand guard! These were the soldiers from the headquarters guard company!

Then, several familiar figures jumped out of the carriage!

Yin Xinjun excitedly walked over, saluted and said,

"Welcome all leaders to come to Mulan City for inspection!"

Several pairs of big hands reached out to shake hands one by one.

"Yin Xinjun, it's been 9 years since we last met, and we finally meet again. I didn't expect that you would be even more shocking to us this time than the Western Expedition!"

"We went to the Mulan Arsenal. It was amazing. The Dalian Arsenal hadn't even started production yet, but you were the first to start supplying the troops with urgently needed food, clothing, guns and ammunition. Now you've opened an aviation school!"

"Dear leaders, Mulan City's modest achievements are inseparable from the strong support of the headquarters!" Yin Xinjun said very sincerely, and what he said was naturally what was in his heart!
