Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

At noon, the sun is just right.

When Zhao Tianyang and his men continued to compete with the tank guns, more than a hundred men dressed in various styles came to Xingjiazhuang.

"Wait a minute, fellow, where are you from?"

A soldier from the New 1st Regiment who was standing guard at the entrance of the village walked over vigilantly with his gun in hand.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a pistol case hanging on his waist walked out of the crowd, came in front of the soldier and saluted.

"Hello comrade, I am from the 772nd Regiment. My subordinate armed work team has been ordered to escort all the masters to support the construction of the arsenal. This is my pass."

Upon hearing this, the soldier took the pass and looked at it, then looked at the more than one hundred men in front of him, who were not only strong but also much better than ordinary people.

"I'm sorry there are so many of you. I have to report first. Please wait where you are."

"no problem."

The armed workers' captain nodded in understanding.

After the soldier saluted the armed work team again, he took the pass and ran towards Xingjiazhuang.

"Who was it I thought? It turned out to be Ye Min!"

After a while, the captain of the armed work team heard Li Yunlong's shout before he saw anyone.

"Captain Li, long time no see!"

The armed work team, the captain shouted to the figure who had just arrived at the village entrance.

"Why don't you serve as the company commander of Cheng Xiazi's 772nd Regiment instead of being the leader of the armed workers?"

Li Yunlong came closer and took Ye Min's hands with a smile.

"Tell me, Old Li, whether Blind Cheng is playing tricks on you. If so, come to our New 1st Regiment. I'll make you a battalion commander, how about that?"

"Li Tuan still loves to joke around!"

Ye Min awkwardly shook off Li Yunlong's hands: "Our regiment commander is quite good to me. Joining the armed work team is also necessary for the revolution."

"Okay, but I have something to say. If you are not happy working under Blind Cheng in the future, come to my new regiment. I will keep the position of battalion commander for you."

Li Yunlong felt quite regretful. Ye Min was an old Red Army soldier who had climbed snow-capped mountains and waded through grasslands. If he was willing to join the New 1st Regiment, his plan to establish a new battalion could be implemented.

"Captain Li is joking."

Ye Min was sweating profusely, and quickly changed the subject: "Captain Li, this is the list of the logistics support personnel this time, please take a look."

"it is good."

Li Yunlong took the list and counted the number of names on it: "Yes, no problem."

"Since there is no problem, I will take my leave. See you next time."

After saying this, Ye Min ignored Li Yunlong's advice and stayed to have a meal before leaving, waving to his team members.

Soon, a group of more than 30 people disappeared in front of Li Yunlong.

"Am I terrible?"

Li Yunlong touched his chin, very puzzled.

The soldier next to him looked at his nose with his eyes, and looked at his heart with his nose, and remained silent. He was just a soldier and he knew nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong waved his hand in boredom and went to call his brother Tianyang over.

"Yes."

After the soldiers left, Li Yunlong walked towards the chefs who came to support him with a smile: "Hahaha, hello, chefs. I am the commander of the New 1st Regiment, my name is Li Yunlong."

"Everyone is welcome to the New First Group. From now on, the New First Group will be your home. Don't be shy when you are at home. If you have any problems, tell me and I, Old Li, will definitely help you."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally an older man came out.

"Captain Li, you are too polite. We are here to support the revolution. We want to join the arsenal and start working as soon as possible."

"Okay, gentlemen, Dayi."

It just so happens that Li Yunlong doesn't like those red tapes. Since they have made such a request, he has to satisfy them quickly!

"In that case, I, Old Li, will not waste any more words. Everyone, follow me. I will take you to the arsenal."

As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards Xingjiazhuang. To go to the arsenal, they had to cross Xingjiazhuang.

"Let's go."

The man who spoke on behalf of everyone saw that Li Yunlong had led the way, so he said something to the people behind him and chased after him.

As for whether the rest of the people would have complaints, he was not worried at all.

Every one of them has been examined by the Political Department and has undergone profound ideological work.

And most importantly, each of them came here voluntarily to serve the party.

Zhao Tianyang picked them up on the way. He originally thought that he would meet these people in Xingjiazhuang. After all, there was no room for them to stay in the arsenal.

"Here is a list of these people, take a look at some of them!"

Zhao Tianyang glanced at the people who followed Li Yunlong, then lowered his head to look through the list, which introduced these people's hometowns, ages, and most importantly, their skills.

Most of them were workers in the arsenal founded by Yan Laoxi, and a small number were master craftsmen with various skills.

Among them, Zhao Tianyang also found several welders that the arsenal was in urgent need of.

"Great, that's great. With these people, the arsenal can implement a three-shift work system. By then, the weapons produced in a day will be enough for you to equip a company of soldiers."

"Really!"

Listening to Zhao Tianyang's confident speech, Li Yunlong was very happy. It seemed that the fourth battalion he was planning to build had weapons to use.

"Then I'll leave these people to you. I'm leaving first."

"Where?"

Zhao Tianyang looked at Li Yunlong, who was impatient to leave, and felt a little confused.

"I'm going to earn some money for the military."

Li Yunlong adjusted the shotgun on his back and left without looking back.

Ever since the arsenal was jointly managed by the Logistics Department and the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong could no longer get weapons directly from the arsenal, he had to buy them with money!

Of course, the arsenal was right in front of him, and he could take it without paying, but in that case, the Logistics Department could also use this as an excuse to directly grab weapons from the arsenal. How could Li Yunlong agree to that?

Money must be spent, and everyone is treated equally. Even if the brigade commander comes, he has to leave two coppers.

"alright."

Zhao Tianyang still supports Li Yunlong's choice, because only an arsenal with a balanced income and expenditure can develop in the long run.

Soon everyone was taken to the arsenal. Zhao Tianyang called Li Yuncai and asked him to arrange for the comrades who came to support.

At the same time, we arranged for the kitchen to slaughter a pig to welcome these comrades tonight.

night.

Zhao Tianyang picked up a small wine glass and looked at the comrades who came to support him during the day: "Everyone, my name is Zhao Tianyang, and I am the director of the arsenal."

"I won't say big words, but everyone comes here for the same purpose, which is to make weapons, to make good weapons, so that the Eighth Route Army soldiers can kill more Japanese invaders."

“I hope everyone can join me in achieving this goal. Let’s encourage each other!”

He raised his glass and drank it all.

"mutual encouragement!"

Everyone quickly raised their glasses to agree and drank together.

"Everyone, eat and drink well. Starting tomorrow, you won't have such a good life anymore!"

Zhao Tianyang put down his wine glass and made a small joke.

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, and one of them shouted loudly: "Don't worry, Director, we are not here to enjoy ourselves!"

"Eat, eat, everyone, eat, you're welcome."

Li Yuncai started to greet everyone. For a while, there was constant laughter and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Zhao Tianyang was extremely happy to see the people who were constantly being humble but eating quickly. With these people, the arsenal would not be short of employees.

He couldn't say anything about the output or anything else, but as long as there were enough supplies, he was confident that within half a year, the 386th Brigade could be armed to the point of being no weaker than the Japanese's A-class division.
