Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

Gaoda was extremely excited on his way back to Lijiazhuang.

He walked quickly towards the training ground and saw Li Dakang instructing the soldiers in training from afar.

As soon as he saw Gundam, Li Dakang immediately put down his work and trotted over to meet him.

"Captain, you're back!"

"How was the operation last night? Did it go smoothly?"

Gaoda nodded and said, "Dakang, the operation last night went very smoothly. I led a company of soldiers and quietly dug up more than 300 meters of the Japanese railway. I guess those Japanese are so angry now."

Hearing this, Li Dakang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Captain, you are so awesome! The Japanese never dreamed that we would dare to tear up their railway. This time, they have suffered a great loss!"

"With these high-quality steels, our infantry guns can be produced smoothly. When the time comes, we will be able to severely bomb those little devils and let them know how powerful we are!"

Gundam looked at Li Dakang, who was so excited that he almost jumped up, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that the next words would make Li Dakang even more excited.

"Captain Dakang, I just came back from the arsenal. Guess what good news I brought back?" Gundam deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"Captain, what's the good news? Tell me now!"

"Our factory director Meng has really brought us a huge surprise. He designed a new type of domestic infantry gun, which is more powerful than the Japanese and has a longer range. I have named it the Type 39 infantry gun."

When Li Dakang heard this, he could hardly believe his ears. He widened his eyes and opened his mouth:

"Captain, did I hear you right? Our county brigade can actually produce domestic infantry artillery? And it's even more powerful than the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery?"

Gaoda nodded and answered affirmatively: "That's right, Captain Dakang, Comrade Meng Debiao is really a professional, and his design is really amazing."

Li Dakang jumped up excitedly, waving his fist and shouting:

"Great, great! From now on, our county brigade will be truly majestic and invincible in the Eighth Route Army!"

Looking at Li Dakang's excited expression, Gundam couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Captain Dakang, don't get too excited. In a week, we will be able to see our domestically produced Type 39 infantry gun with our own eyes."

After saying goodbye to Li Dakang, Gaoda strolled around Lijiazhuang alone.

He returned to the barracks, and his tired body made him fall into a deep sleep immediately.

He hadn't slept for the whole night, and now he was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.

When Gundam woke up again, the sky outside was already pitch black.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and felt the vitality gradually returning to his body.

…………

While Gundam was falling into a deep sleep, a good show was staged on the torn-off railway.

The night was as dark as ink, and a train loaded with goods came speeding by. However, when it reached the section of railway that had been torn apart by Gundam and his men, the train had too much inertia and could not brake in time, and it overturned in an instant.

A huge noise echoed in the silent night sky, the wreckage of the train was scattered all over the ground, and the cargo was splashed everywhere.

The guards on the Japanese train were frightened out of their wits by this sudden change when they saw the railway in front of them torn to pieces.

A Japanese officer with a face full of flesh roared: "Damn it! Who the hell dared to tear up the railway?"

He waved his saber angrily, wishing he could chop all the people who were digging up the railway into pieces.

In anger, the Japanese officer immediately reported the news to the guard troops at the railway station.

When the Japanese soldiers in the train station heard the news, they began to talk about it, with expressions of shock and anger on their faces.

They immediately mobilized troops to rush to the scene for rescue.

When the rescue team arrived at the scene, they were at a loss as to where to start in the face of the huge train rollover.

The wreckage of the train and its cargo were scattered all over the ground, blocking the entire railway.

In desperation, they had to ask for support from the Japanese in the nearby county.

After receiving the news, the Japanese in the county town quickly assembled a large number of personnel and equipment and rushed to the scene.

They brought professional rescue equipment and tools and started the difficult rescue work.

With the efforts of everyone and several hours of hard work, the overturned train was finally righted and the obstacles on the railway were cleared.

Then, the Japanese troops immediately pulled new rails from the warehouse for replacement.

Thanks to their efforts, the railway was finally reopened to traffic.

Since then, the Japanese have strengthened patrols and guarding of the railway.

The frequency of armored patrol vehicles increased from once an hour to once every 30 minutes. They closely monitored every corner of the railway, fearing that someone would dare to steal the railway again.

The culprit of all this, Gundam and his warriors, were currently immersed in a sweet dream and knew nothing about it.

…………

Early morning a week later.

Gundam got up early and had a hearty breakfast.

He led Li Dakang and others and set out for Ping'an Arsenal with excitement.

Today is a milestone day for the Ping'an County Brigade.

Along the way, they felt both nervous and excited.

When they arrived at the arsenal, what came into view was a busy scene.

The workers are busy at their respective posts and the roar of machines can be heard everywhere.

Meng Debiao was standing there, wearing work clothes, concentrating on adjusting a brand new cannon.

The barrel of the cannon gleamed with metallic luster.

When Meng Debiao saw Gaoda and others arriving, he immediately stopped his work and greeted them with a smile.

"Captain, deputy captain, good morning! Welcome to the Ping An Arsenal."

"Is this the first domestically-produced Type 1 infantry gun produced by your Ping An Arsenal?" Gundam walked forward and looked at the cannon carefully.

"Yes, captain." said Meng Debiao.

Gundam stood in front of the cannon. Although the Type 39 infantry cannon in front of him was not painted, it exuded a strong industrial atmosphere.

The thick muzzle looked extremely powerful, and it made Gundam's heart beat faster.

Li Dakang was so excited as if he had seen the peerless beauty he had long admired. He couldn't wait to rush to the infantry gun.

Gently stroke the rough metal surface with your hands, feeling its unique texture.

Although the cannon appears rough due to limited conditions during the processing and there are some unprocessed burrs on the edges, this cannot conceal its status in everyone's hearts.

This is not only the first Type 39 infantry gun produced by Ping An Arsenal, but also the pride of their independent research and development and production.

Its birth marks that Ping An Arsenal has entered a new era where it can independently develop, design and produce cannons.

In the entire Eighth Route Army, no other arsenal can match it.

Gaoda said to Meng Debiao: "Director Meng, look at this cannon, how majestic and domineering it is!

Now that it has been produced, let's not wait any longer and quickly pull it out to test its power!"

Meng Debiao smiled and nodded: "Captain, don't worry, I will arrange the painting work right away. Once it is completed, we can immediately conduct the test gun."

There was a gleam of anticipation in everyone's eyes, and they couldn't wait to see the moment when the cannon would demonstrate its power.
