"Leaving so early? I entered the twelfth lunar month gate in a few days. Is it too hasty to leave before the end of the year? Can I give birth?" Hu Changyi asked in surprise. Although Minister Zhang had already mentioned this matter

, he thought he had to celebrate the New Year anyway, but he didn’t expect to leave now.

"Let's not rush. They have been preparing over there for a long time. The factory building has been selected and the equipment has been found. It's not convenient to tell you the specific location, but there is still no problem in terms of safety. Besides, if we leave now, the workers should be at a suitable distance.

You can still celebrate the Chinese New Year at home," said Minister Zhang.

"Let the workers go home for the New Year? Is that okay? If the Japanese are caught and tortured, won't the location of our arsenal be exposed?" As Hu Changyi spoke, he turned on the stove in the office and added some more.

Charcoal block.

"You don't believe our comrades? Don't worry, it's night when the workers come in, and it's also night when they go out. Even if they are caught by the Japanese, they won't be able to find out anything. Don't look at the distance of the arsenal.

The village is very close, but under our control, communication between workers and villagers is limited."

"So, whatever you kid can think of, we have already thought of it, so you don't need to worry about it," said Minister Zhang.

"Okay then, this is the list. It has been selected a long time ago. When they leave, shall we settle their wages and give them a few yuan for the New Year's fee?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Okay, you have the final say on this matter. Just settle this year's wages until the end of the year. This way, with an extra month's wages, workers and technicians who live far away can have more money. Let me see who you choose...

"Minister Zhang looked at the list.

"You guys are so thoughtful. They are all people with families and families, and most of them are from Shandong. Okay, that's it! This time we mobilized more than 200 technical backbones and workers, which is enough to support the development in Shandong.

An arsenal has begun to take shape." Minister Zhang said with satisfaction.

"Minister Zhang, are we under control of Handang Avenue now?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Yes, Shexian County was captured. The Japanese were firmly occupying Wu'an, but somehow they were occupied by Sun Dongling's newly formed Fifth Army. Now the stubborn forces of the enemy and us are in southern Shanxi.

It’s a criss-cross situation, and the situation is not good,” said Minister Zhang.

"Where's Yan Laoxi?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Yan Laoxi went too far this time. Many of our comrades were killed, but we also fought back. There are some things that he can't just do whatever he wants! Although our Eighth Route Army is still very weak, we have

The Jinsui Army is still capable of fighting!" Minister Zhang said.

"Minister Zhang, let's be honest. Based on our current equipment level and the quality of our soldiers, we should be better than the Jinsui Army, right?" Hu Changyi asked.

"The Jinsui Army..." Minister Zhang nodded and thought for a while and said: "The Jinsui Army originally had 300,000 people, right? After these two years of fighting, the Jinsui Army has consumed a lot, but its development situation is not optimistic.

.So...you kid yourself

As long as we have it. But we lack a lot of things, at least in terms of long-range artillery, we are not even close to the Jinsui Army and the Japanese. There is also the Central Army, a 150mm heavy artillery regiment is stationed in Xi'an..."

Minister Zhang didn't say much, nodded Hu Changyi's head, and went to work with the list...

Sentiment has hurt parting since ancient times... Ahem, comrades-in-arms and colleagues are no different, so the atmosphere in the arsenal these days is somewhat sad. Of course, this sad mood will be diluted with the payment of wages. And those who are leaving

People, when they think about the possibility of seeing family members they haven't seen for a long time on the way to transfer, their mood becomes anxious.

For example, Guo Lianxi, who was already a master master at Laogou Arsenal, was eagerly waiting for the day of departure.

When I followed the organization and left my hometown to come to Laogou, it took more than a year. I didn't know if my parents at home were okay? I also just received a letter from my family a few months ago, saying that the eldest son was born.

, was a boy, but he died young due to the seven-day wind.

With dozens of hard pieces of ocean in his arms, Guo Lianxi felt as uncomfortable as a cat clawing at his child who had disappeared before he could see her. Even when he was working, he felt a little uneasy.

"Master Guo, be careful!" Guo Lianxi heard someone shouting from behind and subconsciously moved his body to one side and lowered his head.

"Whoosh..." A hot piece of iron flew past the back of his head, clanking in the distance, but at the same time, there was a pain on his left back.

Although he is only 23 years old this year, he has been working hard for so many years. Guo Lianxi knew that he had been hit in the back with a red-hot iron block.

"Quickly, help me lift my cotton-padded jacket and look at my back..." Guo Lianxi endured the pain and shouted.

The surrounding workers immediately gathered around. The eldest brother of the Zheng family in the same village ran over directly carrying a quenching bucket. Seeing that the cotton coat on Lao Guo's back was already smoking, he quickly grabbed a piece of veil and dipped it in water to cover it.

"Hey..." The sparks on the cotton-padded jacket were extinguished by the cold water, and the eldest brother of the Zheng family quickly opened Guo Lianxi's cotton-padded jacket.

"It's okay, no bones were injured..." Seeing the silver dollar-sized iron block embedded in Guo Lianxi's back, the eldest brother of the Zheng family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Guo...I'm sorry..." A teenage apprentice approached Guo Lianxi and said with a sad face.

"It's okay...be careful next time you work...hiss...Brother Zheng, should my back be familiar?" Guo Lianxi joked.

"Shh... it's okay... the health worker is here... hurry up, show Xiao Guo!" Brother Zheng looked at the health worker who came over and shouted quickly.

"Let me take a look, please bear with it..." Hygienist Xiao Cui looked at Guo Lianxi's dark back, then looked at the blackened iron block: "The problem is not big, no blood vessels were injured. Let's go to the infirmary. I

Take it off for you!" Xiao Cui said.

"I said, Doctor Cui, can we put out the fire first? Is it cold?" Guo Lianxi said.

"Okay, bear with it..." Comrade Xiao Cui quickly took out the iodophor for disinfection, took a sanitary napkin with tweezers, dipped it in alcohol and rubbed it on the iron block.

"Hey..." The iron piece was not big, and it had cooled down a lot now, and it quickly cooled down completely.

"Everyone, keep working... Let's go to the infirmary!" The workshop director greeted and quickly took Lao Guo to the infirmary.

A simple operation was quickly completed. The iron block was removed, the muscle tissue was boiled, disinfected with iodophor, and a layer of special Chinese burn ointment was applied, and Xiao Cui was wrapped up.

, and also prescribed several sulfonamide anti-inflammatory tablets to Guo Lianxi.

"Lao Guo, you're injured on your back, why don't you continue to stay here?" the workshop director asked.
Chapter completed!
