Two days later, the New Second Regiment successfully arrived near Wangjiayu, Wuxiang County, where the headquarters is located.
Since entering the base area, the New Second Regiment completely let go of their restraints and walked on the road with swagger, fearing that the little devils would not know that such a group had entered the base area from the Heshun direction.
The brother troops along the way looked at the long marching column of the New Second Regiment, which was equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, and more than 500 puppet troops carrying a lot of food.
The New Second Regiment was so arrogant that the headquarters had already received the news.
"Yes, our great hero is back." The boss said after receiving the news.
"Zhou Weihan is a great hero in my opinion. He has never come here empty-handed!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
Zhou Weihan arranged his team, took Li Yousheng and thirty students, and went straight to the headquarters.
In the headquarters room, only the deputy chief of staff was there.
I saw Zhou Weihan walking into the hall.
When the deputy chief of staff came up, he slapped Zhou Weihan with a big hat: "Zhou Weihan, your trip to Heshun made quite a scene. You deceived the boss and I so miserably."
Zhou Weihan was confused by this sentence: "Chief of Staff, where do you start with this? I went to Heshun with the consent of you and the boss."
"I heard that a group of strongmen came out of Taiyuan and assassinated Kazuya Harada, the senior advisor of Taiyuan New People's Association, in broad daylight, and kidnapped the family of Zhang Fangyin, a military expert who had returned from studying in Japan. Do you know about this?"
Zhou Weihan looked at the deputy chief of staff sitting opposite and thought, come on, nothing can be hidden.
Who is the deputy chief of staff? The director of the General Intelligence Division of the Eighth Route Army. He knows everything about Zhou Weihan's every move and knows everything about it.
Zhou Weihan moved a stool, sat across from him, and began to talk nonsense: "Chief of Staff, you are really meticulous in your intelligence work. Please listen to my explanation of this matter. I got up that morning and wanted to go out for a walk. Who knew I would go there?"
We went to Taiyuan. We have never been to Taiyuan before, so we got lost. Then we met a kid and killed him, and then..."
The deputy chief of staff responded: "Then you kidnapped Zhang Fangyin's family, right?"
"Chief of Staff, you have wronged me. Mr. Zhang took the initiative to join our Eighth Route Army under the persuasion of his daughter, who is also our comrade." Zhou Weihan explained.
This is because the boss is absent and the deputy chief of staff always leads people in a gentle manner, so Zhou Weihan dares to make a few jokes.
"You haven't done anything extraordinary? The dozen workers you found in Taiyuan can stay with your New Second Regiment, but Zhang Fangyin must be temporarily left in the arsenal at the headquarters. Do you have any objections?"
Zhou Weihan was about to say something to refute, but unexpectedly, the boss walked into the room angrily, took off his armed belt, and put it on the table with a clatter.
Zhou Weihan was so frightened that he quickly stood up from the stool he was sitting on and said, "Chief of Staff, as you said, I, Zhou Weihan, have always obeyed orders."
"As long as you can understand, the arsenal is researching a rifle, and Zhang Fangyin just needs to be involved. He is only temporarily seconded to the Huangyadong arsenal from your New Second Regiment. The New Second Regiment has no foundation at all now, so let him go there.
It’s useless, your new second regiment should set up a repair shop first and put up the air first.” The deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
Huangyadong Arsenal is the Military Industry Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, also known as Shuiyao Arsenal. It was the earliest and largest arsenal established by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in the Taihang Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War.
In 1940, when the factory was completed and put into operation, there were more than 40 pieces of machinery and equipment. In addition to the original boilers and steam engines, a 10-kilowatt DC generator was added to the power equipment, which could provide partial lighting. The number of cutting machine tools increased to 17, all of which were
It is powered by steam and driven by a celestial shaft and belt. All kinds of special equipment are manufactured by the employees themselves, using rail steel as the bed surface. The number of employees in the institute has grown to 680, and the monthly output is as high as 375 rifles.
Later, 50mm artillery shells, 60mm artillery shells, and 82mm artillery shells were successively produced.
Then, the deputy chief of staff turned to the boss and said, "Boss, who has offended you again?"
"Who else could it be? It's not our Commander Yan. I just received a telegram from the World War II area. Yan Xishan sent an observation group of officers from his Shanxi-Sui Army to come to our Eighth Route Army to learn tactics. Isn't that right?
It's obviously a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year, isn't it kind of a good idea?" the boss said.
"The Jinsui Army just had a conflict with us some time ago, why did it suddenly do this?" The deputy chief of staff was a little confused.
Zhou Weihan watched the two big guys talking and didn't dare to argue with them.
"It wasn't our commander Zhou who caused such a big disturbance in Heshun and captured the county seat. That's why Yan Xishan sent people to learn from him."
"Boss, I took people to Heshun, but you two agreed!" Zhou Weihan suddenly became anxious, why did he get involved with him?
"I asked you to go, that's right, but what did you say at that time, have you forgotten?" the boss glanced at Zhou Weihan and said.
Zhou Weihan was indeed heading to Yamamoto's hometown at the beginning. He thought he would come back after picking up Yamamoto's hometown, but he didn't expect that so many things would happen in the meantime.
"Exploring mines, collecting prisoners, annihilating the Zhongcun brigade, attacking Heshun County, and causing chaos in Taiyuan, you Zhou Weihan are so capable!" The boss counted on his fingers what Zhou Weihan had done during this time.
"Hehe, boss, the situation on this battlefield is changing rapidly. I can't miss a fighter plane if I encounter one!" Zhou Weihan explained.
"What you said is correct, and you don't have to feel aggrieved. You have made such a great contribution, and the headquarters must record your merits. Yan Laoxi also sent a congratulatory message, specifically praising you, Zhou Weihan, as the Qiancheng of the country."
After hearing this, Zhou Weihan breathed a sigh of relief and burst into laughter.
"Don't be too happy too early. Don't go back to Wuyi in the next few days. The Jinsui Army's observation group will go to the 386th Brigade. There might be someone who wants to take a look at you, Zhou Weihan!"
"Yes, boss, I promise to entertain those who come from the Jinsui Army." Zhou Weihan said with determination.
"Remember, this cat is giving lessons to the tiger. Don't let the tiger learn the ability to climb trees."
Zhou Weihan left the headquarters, and Li Yousheng also finished handing over to the person in charge of the Kangda University branch. Thirty students were eagerly waiting for Zhou Weihan at the entrance of the headquarters.
"Have you completed the formalities?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"It's done, Captain Zhou. Thank you very much for your help this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to explain it to the head of the headquarters." Li Yousheng touched his head and said.
"Look what you said, they are all brothers. How can I just stand by and watch!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Captain Zhou, after the training at the Anti-Japanese University, I want to apply to join your new second regiment. Don't be unwelcome!" said Shi Xiaorong, one of the students.
"How can we not welcome them? We are all revolutionary comrades. From now on, we will learn together and make progress together." Zhou Weihan gave him a careless look.
At this time, Dong Jiang also led the people and the Logistics Department to complete the handover and handed over 500,000 oceans to the Logistics Department.
Director Yang of the Logistics Department personally sent Dong Jiang to the door, and happened to see Zhou Weihan: "Captain Zhou, you are really the God of Wealth of our Eighth Route Army. Whether it is money or supplies, there is nothing you can't get."
To say who is the most popular in the Logistics Department, it must be Zhou Weihan. Last time the arsenal was short of diesel, which directly affected production. In the end, it was Zhou Weihan who got a batch of diesel from Isamu Terauchi and solved the problem.
