Once we get out of the city gate, the outside world is ours and the Japanese can't catch us even if they want to.

Yamamoto Ikki did not receive the news of the battle at the city gate until an hour later. After all, the city was filled with explosions, and the Japanese could not find the key point, so they could only mobilize their troops at random.

When he arrived, he found nothing of value except the limerick and the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the ground.

However, this also gave Yamamoto Ikki a good inspiration. If he wanted to suffer less losses in the subsequent accountability, he had to find a scapegoat.

The defection of the Imperial Army and the poem in hand are the best evidence.

Everything is to blame on the Imperial Army. It was these people's dereliction of duty that led to the assassination. They must be held accountable on a large scale.

This also made many puppet soldiers feel the crisis. Most of them chose to become traitors in order to gain wealth and glory and to bring honor to their family.

But what they get now is their masters' groundless suspicion and suppression, and even arbitrary killings.

This also caused a part of the puppet army to become alienated from the Japanese, and even when they did things, they were just perfunctory, and some even secretly communicated with the Eighth Route Army.

However, this kind of thing will take a long time to manifest, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it for the time being.

All the rescued people were sent to the Taiyue Military Region for recuperation and treatment, and after they have recovered from their injuries, they will stay or leave according to their wishes.

Kong Hao led the special forces team and rushed back to the arsenal without stopping. After all, they had been out for so long, and it was time to go back and have a good rest.

However, this assassination in Yangquan was soon followed by an explosion in China, and everyone was looking for who did it.

Commander Chen only received the news on the third day after the assassination.

Because the matter was too serious, Kong Hao specifically instructed that no information should be transmitted via the radio, otherwise it would be easy for the Japanese to target their special forces team, affecting future operations.

After listening to Qian Yu's report, Brigade Commander Chen immediately praised him:

"You guys did a great job. It's best not to make a big deal like this public. You have to keep quiet and make a fortune."

"Killing a Japanese special envoy, who was a major general in the army, was like dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese. It will be enough to make the enemy feel uncomfortable for a long time."

Political Commissar Wang also said excitedly: "Gao Yuesheng, this old devil, has been acting very high-profile since he arrived in Northeast China from his native land last month. He has been promoting his idea of breaking the circle. He really thinks everyone is a fool."

"However, in order to combat the enemy's arrogance, the Military and Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics also organized elite action teams to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately, they all failed and lost many good fighters."

Brigade Commander Chen couldn't help but sigh: "This Kong Hao is really a lucky star for our Eighth Route Army. Wherever he is, he will bring us great surprises."

"This time we just wanted to get rid of the traitor Liu Ergou, but we didn't expect to kill an enemy major general by the way. It was a huge profit."

"By the way, Xiao Qian, you should go down and have a rest first. Put aside the matter in Yangquan for the time being. I will send someone over to resume the work after this storm has passed."

The Japanese suffered such a great loss in Yangquan City that they will definitely retaliate with all their might afterwards. Fortunately, all our intelligence personnel have evacuated this time.

Even if the Japanese go crazy, the damage won't be that big, it will just make life hard for the common people in the city, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

However, with the deterrence of the special forces, the Japanese in the city are probably not going to dare to attack ordinary people so cruelly. Otherwise, some people will have to be careful about whether their heads are safe on their necks.

After all, we can easily kill even a major general of the Japanese. If they really go too far, the special forces don't mind cleaning up some small fry in Yangquan City.

This is a kind of deterrence, especially against many local forces in Yangquan City. No one wants to be shot in the chest by a sniper bullet for no reason.

When the Japanese envoy was sniped and killed that day, many people were watching. For many people, that scene was like a nightmare.

After Qian Yu left, Brigade Commander Chen continued:

"For the time being, let Kong Hao stay in the Arsenal and don't go out to cause trouble. Let me have a few days of peace and quiet."

However, Political Commissar Wang joked, "Old Chen, every time Xiao Kong takes action, he can obtain a large amount of supplies, which greatly improves the strength of our Eighth Route Army."

"I hope he makes more noise, so that our 386th Brigade can also benefit from it."

When Brigade Commander Chen thought about it, he realized that this was indeed the case, so he also started laughing.

Ever since Kong Hao returned to the Arsenal, he has been so busy that he has no energy to do anything.

The day after he came back, he was called to a meeting by Factory Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin.

Director Ren's face was beaming with joy, and his smile seemed to be overflowing.

There was no way, mainly because Kong Hao brought back too many machines and equipment this time, which completely exceeded their imagination.

This is a complete set of equipment, five sets at once, which made everyone busy.

I have been busy organizing equipment these days and haven't started anything else.

"Xiao Kong, our arsenal now has six large factories to build. The bullet production line is already half built, so the remaining manpower and material resources can only give priority to building one factory."

"We think that the cement plant, hydroelectric power station, glass factory, machinery processing plant and coking plant are all very good and are urgently needed by our Eighth Route Army."

"For example, if this glass factory can be put into mass production, we can produce various glass bottles, which can not only be used to store highly corrosive liquids such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid, but also some products can be sold in the market for money."

"After all, if we buy any glass items from the market now, we have to spend money, and it's a lot of money. This kind of thing is too expensive."

"The same goes for the machining plant. Once it's built, it will be able to easily produce a lot of gun parts in the future."

"But you brought all these things back. The commissar and I want to hear your opinion."

Kong Hao already had a plan. He did not choose these machines and equipment randomly. Each one of them has a great use.

"Director, Political Commissar, the most important thing for us now is to build this cement plant. With our current power generation equipment, we can fully drive the production of the entire factory."

"Once we produce qualified cement, together with some of the steel we have collected, we can build a hydroelectric power station."

"This small hydroelectric power generation equipment can reach a power of 10MW, which is enough for our arsenal to use, and it will be sufficient even if we expand the capacity in the future."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Qin said happily:

"This time, the headquarters has transferred two more basic regiments to our arsenal. They are all good guys. They want us to build these factories quickly."

"At the same time, Minister Zhang directly transferred over a million kilograms of food to us, so there are no problems with logistics support."

After hearing this, Kong Hao didn't say anything else. The next focus of work would definitely be to build various factory buildings.

However, he, as the chief consultant, does not need to do all of this himself. He just needs to provide guidance from the side. There are still many capable people at the Arsenal who can shoulder this heavy responsibility.

The reason why development could not be achieved in the past was because there were not enough equipment and raw materials. Even the most powerful boss would fall into the embarrassing situation of "a good cook cannot cook without rice".

It is different now. The construction of various factories, the selection of sites, and the installation of equipment are enough to give many previously buried talents enough time to play their roles.
