Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

In the arsenal office, all the people who came to the meeting were present. Not only were Mr. Liu, Liu Guifu and others present, but even the old people from the arsenal such as Chang San came here for the first time.

"Cough cough..."

Looking at the people present, Zhao Tianyang coughed and said, "Everyone, we have received news from above, asking us to move to a safer place."

"What! Relocation?"

"Where to move?"

As soon as Zhao Tianyang finished speaking, people at the scene immediately started talking. Of course, those who spoke were mainly local people like Chang San.

"Where are we moving to, Director?"

Li Tie raised his hand and asked.

"Changzhi City, I can't tell you the specific place, please understand."

Zhao Tianyang replied.

"Changzhi, it's a bit far!"

Chang San raised his hand and asked, "Can we bring family members?"

"Yes, anyone who is willing to follow the arsenal can bring their families!"

"That is not bad."

When they heard that they could bring their family members, Chang San and his companions were obviously relieved. No matter where they went, as long as they could take their whole family with them, they would be less resistant.

"Okay, now that everyone has no questions, let me tell you about some of the things you need to do for the move!"

Seeing that Chang San and the others had no problem, Zhao Tianyang continued, "First, there is the problem of the Arsenal and the workers. When you go back, you must do a good job of ideological work among them and count those who are willing to follow the Arsenal and those who are unwilling."

In fact, Zhao Tianyang was not too worried about this job, because most of the workers in the arsenal were the ones who were sent from the logistics department last time.

Moreover, during this relocation, they will not all follow the arsenal, but more than half of the personnel will be sent to various divisions to help friendly forces establish the most basic military-industrial system.

At the very least, we should let them use the grenades they made themselves.

"The second thing is to pack up the materials and machines that can be taken away, and count and report those that cannot be taken away."

Finally, Zhao Tianyang looked at Li Yuncai and said, "Comrade Li Yuncai, can you give us a rough estimate of how many days it will take us to complete the relocation?"

Hearing this, Li Yun thought for a moment and said, "It should take seven or eight days."

"Okay, eight days. We will try to complete the relocation within eight days."

After saying that, Zhao Tianyang stood up and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

..........

The next day, at the end of the rugged mountain road, a small mountain village built on the mountain appeared in Zhao Tianyang's eyes.

"Master Wang, are you sure there are Taihang dogs here?"

"Absolutely."

Blacksmith Wang patted his chest confidently and assured: "Don't worry, Director. My wife's nephew's aunt is in Tingjiagou."

"Their village is close to the Taihang Mountains, and wild animals often sneak down the mountain, so basically every family raises a dog, and they raise Taihang dogs. That guy is very fierce and dares to show his teeth to wild wolves!"

"Woof woof woof..."

Suddenly, a burst of dog barking was heard, and the next moment a young man with a dog in his right hand and a red tasseled gun in his left hand and a middle-aged man holding a shotgun came over.

"Blacksmith Wang!"

The middle-aged man saw Wang the blacksmith next to Zhao Tianyang and smiled: "Why are you not working at the arsenal today? Why are you here?"

"Come and buy some dogs!"

Blacksmith Wang recognized the man and greeted him with a smile, "Wang Sanzi, Wang Ludan, come here quickly. This is the director of our arsenal."

After that, he introduced them to Zhao Tianyang: "Director, these two are from the Tingjiagou guerrillas, and they are also from our New First Regiment guerrillas. They are our own people!"

"Amazing!"

Zhao Tianyang was a little surprised. Tingjiagou is 50 kilometers away from Xingjiazhuang, and they came here on a donkey cart. The New 1st Regiment actually developed the guerrillas here.

"Hello, Director Zhao."

Wang Sanzi and Wang Ludan ran over, leading the big white dog.

"I've always heard from Brother Wang about how awesome their factory director is, and today I finally get to see him in person!"

Wang Sanzi looked at Zhao Tianyang with a little curiosity.

"Hahaha, don't listen to what Blacksmith Wang says. I'm just an ordinary person. I came here today just to buy a few Taihang dogs to take back to look after the factory."

Zhao Tianyang said with a chuckle.

"Taihang dog?"

Wang Ludan waved his hand and said, "Local dogs are not worth much. Director Zhao, how many do you want? I'll go get you some."

"Local dog?"

Zhao Tianyang was stunned: "Do you have a lot of puppies?"

"Lots of them!"

Wang Sanzi continued, "There are thirty-six households in our village, and everyone keeps a dog. But it's winter now, so few puppies are born."

"There are only two households in the west end of the village with six puppies that are over one month old. If you want them, Director Zhao, I'll get them for you, no money required!"

"Six is ​​a bit too little!"

Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any dogs between two and three months old?"

"Have."

Wang Ludan thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there are a few families in the east of the village who have a few three-and-a-half-month-old chicks. They seem to be preparing to raise them for food. Oh, and Wang's aunt's family has three four-month-old chicks. I wonder if they can help?"

"All of them."

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand and said, "Please help me. We are in a hurry. Can you help me buy all the puppies?"

Then he took out five dollars from his pocket and said, "These are for buying a dog. I don't know if it's enough. Anyway, how about I refund the money when the time comes?"

Looking at the five dollars in Zhao Tianyang's hand, Wang Sanzi was about to reach out to take it when he was stopped by Wang Ludan.

"Director Zhao, we don't want money, can you give us something else?"

"for free?"

Zhao Tianyang asked doubtfully: "Then what do you want?"

"arms!"

Wang Ludan said eagerly, "I wonder if Director Zhao can exchange the money for a shotgun?"

"Shotgun?"

Zhao Tianyang glanced at the Taihang Type 20 shotgun in Wang Ludan's hand and said, "You really dare to think so!"

"Director, the Tingjiagou guerrillas have just been established. They only have a shotgun, three grenades, and little funding. Please help them!"

Blacksmith Wang on the side pleaded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Tianyang looked at Wang Sanzi and Wang Ludan.

"Okay, but this time we only brought two shotguns for self-defense. How about we give you one and three grenades?"

"Okay!"

Wang Sanzi and Wang Ludan were overjoyed: "That's great, Director Zhao, just wait here, we will go buy you a dog!"

After saying this, they stopped standing guard and ran towards the east and west of the village respectively.

After the two left, Zhao Tianyang looked at Blacksmith Wang and said, "Why, don't you go to your aunt's house?"

"I won't go. My husband just came back yesterday."

Blacksmith Wang replied.

"Row."

Zhao Tianyang nodded, took out a cigarette and gave one to Wang the blacksmith. The two of them smoked while waiting.

When three cigarette butts were thrown on the ground, six men came over from a distance.

Each of them was holding a sack, which should contain puppies. Wang Sanzi and Wang Ludan were also in the crowd, but they both had sad faces, as if they had been scolded.

"Hello."

The two men came up to Zhao Tianyang and saluted.

One of the men with some white hair said, "You must be Director Zhao of the Arsenal, right? I am the captain of the Tingjiagou Guerrilla Unit. You can just call me Wang Hou. This is Instructor Li."

"Hello, Director Zhao, we have heard about the matter. You can just take these puppies back. As for the weapons, we absolutely cannot take them."

Instructor Li said kindly.

After hearing this, Zhao Tianyang understood why Wang Sanzi and Wang Ludan looked so sad. They were scolded after all!

"How can that be done!"

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand: "First of all, it is only natural to pay for things. Secondly, I didn't bring enough money, so it is reasonable to use weapons to pay for it."

After saying this, without waiting for the two to object, he directly instructed Wang the blacksmith: "It's settled. Master Wang, go to the car and get the agreed weapons."

"Good."

Blacksmith Wang walked towards the donkey cart to get his weapons.

"How can this be done!"

Instructor Li was a little anxious: "We are all comrades. If others knew that we exchanged a few dogs for a shotgun and three grenades, they would definitely scold us."

"Well, let's not talk about it. I paid for the goods and no one will gossip about it!"

Zhao Tianyang stuffed the shotgun and grenades that Wang the blacksmith had brought over into Instructor Li’s arms.

"This this......."

Instructor Li looked at the guerrilla leader Wang Hou at a loss.

"Then on behalf of the Tingjiagou Guerrilla Team, I would like to thank Director Zhao for his help."

Wang Hou saluted Zhao Tianyang solemnly, then waved to the team members behind him and said, "Put the puppy in the car for Director Zhao."

On the way back, looking at the puppies whining on the donkey cart, Zhao Tianyang picked one up and started playing with it.
