The wedding banquet started at noon. When the newlyweds were toasting, the deputy chief of staff, Zhou Weihan, and Tan Lin each drank a bowl of wine. After that, the deputy chief of staff suggested that the three of them eat quickly so as not to affect the others because of their presence.
of interest.
Of course Zhou Weihan knew this. Unlike when he got married, this time when Li Yunlong got married, it was not easy for several old comrades from different parts of the world to get together. Tan Lin also saw that everyone wanted to get drunk, but when he left,
He warned not to drink too much and delay the couple's business.
As soon as Zhou Weihan and others left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more lively. Ding Wei did not call Xiuqin "comrade", but instead called him sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, Lao Li is older than me both in age and military experience. It's not unfair for me to call you sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, if Lao Li can find a wife like you who knows both coldness and warmth, we old comrades sincerely appreciate it."
He is happy. From now on, Lao Li will have to ask you to take more care of him in terms of his life. I would like to toast you with this drink!"
Perhaps because the wine was too strong, Ding Wei had tears in his eyes as he spoke and drank the wine in one gulp.
These years have been filled with bullets and bullets. I don’t know how many of my old comrades who came out of the Dabie Mountains have fallen. Now these are the only ones who can gather around me. I don’t know if they will be able to gather together again when the Japs are beaten away.
Has anyone ever thought about marrying a wife?
Ding Wei drank it all in one gulp, but Yang Xiuqin was not inferior at all. One or two glasses of wine went directly into his stomach, and everyone present was shocked.
The wine they drank at the table was neither home-brewed Dosha nor sake seized from the Japanese, but authentic high-grade Fenjiu.
When making a toast before, Tan Lin was worried that Yang Xiuqin would be too drunk, so he just asked her to take a small sip, but he didn't want to show off to everyone.
"Good guy, my sister-in-law is really beyond her appearance. I, Ding Wei, admire her!"
"Lao Li, you will have rivals when you drink in the future, don't let your wife get you drunk!" Kong Jie said.
"Haha!" Li Yunlong raised his head drunkenly: "What nonsense, when it comes to drinking, I have never drunk anyone!"
The conversation was divided into two parts. In a separate room, Zhou Weihan and three people sat down. It was not easier for the three of them to get together than it was for Li Yunlong and others.
The three of them first discussed the situation of the Japanese army in the Shangqiu area. Just two days before Li Yunlong's wedding, Kuroshima Morita and Araki Sadahiro, who had already made their conflicts almost public, suddenly shook hands and made peace.
According to "inside information", it was the commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army who came forward to mediate. It seemed that after the beginning of spring, there was an intention to mobilize troops against the base area in southwestern Shandong.
"Zhou Weihan, I heard that Comrade Zhou Weiguo led the action team to not only complete the task brilliantly, but also evacuate all of Tianjin. What a great skill!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
"According to the summarized situation, in addition to Jidong, the arsenals in the two base areas of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and southern Hebei have been reintegrated. At present, our Eighth Route Army has neither technology nor equipment. If we want to make guns and cannons, the only way
There are still some shortcomings in raw materials alone!”
It was rare to hear the deputy chief of staff lament, and Zhou Weihan couldn't help but said: "Chief of Staff, I don't know much about military production, but I remember that we took over the Japanese army's coal mines, iron mines, and copper mines in Dingtao. The original steelmaking plant has been
After officially putting into production, how come there is still a shortage of raw materials?”
"The production capacity of the Huangyadong Arsenal has increased significantly during this period. The reason is that a raw material output system has been formed in Dingtao. It is not difficult to transport these base areas to southern Hebei. It is just time-consuming. However, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area
It’s beyond our reach over there, not to mention that the Japanese army has extremely strict control over tungsten, nickel and other non-ferrous metals!”
"Judging from the current situation, if we want to give full play to our production capacity advantage, we cannot just rely on obtaining it from the national army. We also need to find a way from the Japanese army!" The deputy chief of staff said and looked at Zhou Weihan: "In the temple
Yong Na, you need to communicate and increase the trade volume of special materials!"
In fact, with the development of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the trade between the Eighth Route Army and Isamu Temple was no longer limited to weapons and equipment. Later, the scope of the transaction expanded a lot. The arsenal can continuously produce seventy-nine-caliber bullets, which is inseparable from Temple City.
Brave in secret support.
"Chief of Staff, I'll figure this out. As long as the money is in place, everything will be easy to discuss!" Zhou Weihan nodded, then gnashed his teeth and said, "I also have something to say!"
"Comrade Zhou Weiguo is from Hutou Mountain in Jiaodong. As far as I know, there is a female comrade named Fan Xiaoyu who is also in Hutou Mountain. Chief of Staff, please see if you can transfer Fan Xiaoyu to Hebei, Shandong and Yu!"
"Young, you Zhou Weihan even started to be a matchmaker. Is this proposed by Comrade Wei Guo?"
"That's not true, but we can't just let the two of them be separated like this. How bad would it be if they were to be separated abruptly?" Zhou Weihan said and shook his head.
"Okay, I agree to this. I will transfer people and files later!"
The conversation was divided into two parts, and a conversation was also going on in the cave dwelling in Yanzhou.
The content of the conversation covered the international situation, the war situation in Southeast Asia and even the Pacific, the Soviet-German war, and finally how to deal with the relationship with the Americans.
"During this period, some comrades are gossiping in private, thinking that we are trying to get closer to imperialism. I think this is wrong and one-sided!" Zhou Gong waved his hand decisively: "The purpose we uphold is to unite everything that can be united.
The power of Americans is also a goal that can be fought for. Previously, Snow came to Yanzhou for interviews and wrote the book "Red Star Shines on China", which caused a sensation around the world. Isn't this exactly what we need?
?”
"Now that the Americans have taken the initiative to provide military assistance, why should they be so clumsy? I think there is no need to give a special political color to some things, and the idea of standing still is unacceptable!"
"Comrade Lai is right. Even if it is a sugar-coated artillery shell of imperialism, the worst thing is to peel off the sugar coating and hit the shell back. It is already difficult enough for the comrades on the front line. We must not let this matter affect them!" No. 1
Finally made the decision.
"I read the telegrams sent from the front line. Under such difficult circumstances, a systematic arsenal has actually been formed. The comrades have done a good job. I even had the idea of going to Tainan to take a look, especially
I want to meet comrade Zhou Weihan!" the boss said with a smile.
"Boss, if you want to meet Comrade Zhou Weihan, I'm afraid you don't have to go too far south. Comrade Zhou Weihan is on the list of these frontline soldiers studying. If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to arrive in Yanzhou in April this year.
When the time comes, you will have to teach him in person!"
