Chapter 150: The approval of the transition, self-reliance
Zhang A has been observing this young general of the National Army, and has never interrupted it. Although the merger of the Self-Defense Army is hasty and strong, the strength of others is there. If you have the ability, you can save the city and defeat the Japanese! You can't say that you have defeated the Japanese and restored the county town. Thank you for your hard work, please leave. Let us leave here. Even if you consider the people, you can't say this.
His lyrics are sharp and far-sighted. In just two or three days, he completed all the articles on the official side. Moreover, the strength of the Third Column is indeed shocking. One brigade of Japanese soldiers and two regiments of puppet troops, looking at eastern Henan and northern Anhui, who can destroy them in one go?
County Magistrate Wei was an unsuccessful Kuomintang officer. He approached the lower class and sympathized with the anti-Japanese war. Comrade Zhang Ao did his united front work and won some assistance for the military supplies of the New Fourth Army, but he could not solve the major problem.
The Second Brigade of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment is active in Qixian, Sui County, and the civil rights area. Because the Chinese army is also very powerful in the cracks between the enemy and has not had the conditions to establish a stable base, so naturally there is no stable source of financial resources and the funds are very difficult. They cannot even pay a few cents of oil and salt every day, and the troops often cannot open a stove.
There was no way, Peng xf sent someone to the "Kuotong District" to raise funds, but the results were very little. Later, he had to sell more than a dozen war horses, and even Peng xf sold his beloved mount.
Therefore, it is imperative to advance eastward to establish a base on the border between Jiangsu and Anhui, but Yang Tianfeng's third column can be said to be at the intersection of Henan, Shandong and Anhui. Without Yang Tianfeng's approval or cooperation, it is extremely difficult to advance eastward.
Therefore, the Henan-Anhui Border Party Committee has always wanted to do the work of communicating with Yang Tianfeng, but the results have been minimal. Although Yang Tianfeng supported and treated all anti-Japanese armed forces equally, he seemed to have been avoiding contact between the top leaders.
Is this an opportunity now? Zhang Ao thought to himself, and suddenly realized that Yang Tianfeng seemed to be watching him more than others.
"Chief Yang, the New Fourth Army has a left-behind office in this county. I wonder if I can continue working here?" A staff member of the left-behind office asked.
"What kind of job?" Yang Tianfeng seemed to have made a decision on this issue and said slowly: "Recruiting troops? That is to compete with the Third Column and the Zhou regiment! If it is a major issue such as fighting against Japan, cooperating with cooperation, or if there are any major issues such as transition, it is necessary to cooperate."
This may be a bit harsh when others hear this, but it is obvious that they don’t want to stay in Luyi to carry out actual work! But Zhang Ao heard another meaning and couldn’t help but look at Yang Tianfeng thoughtfully.
"Okay, you are not qualified to discuss these things, you should talk about them later!" Yang Tianfeng waved his hand and interrupted the staff's eagerness to argue, "Thank you so hard, let's have a good rest first!"
When everyone saw Yang Tianfeng issued an order to expel the guests, they didn't want to say anything else, so they said goodbye.
The room became quiet, and Yang Tianfeng invited Yu Yanong and discussed it carefully.
"It is certain to coordinate the battle, you can't fight by yourself." Yang Tianfeng pointed to the map and said, "The anti-Japanese armed forces were chased by the Japanese. This is very common. If you don't say hello in advance and suddenly lead the Japanese to come, you will catch us off guard. In addition, you can contact the top leaders of the New Fourth Army's guerrilla detachment and ask them if there is any possibility of transfer."
"Turn in? In which direction?" Yu Yanong had contact and cooperation with Peng XF of the New Fourth Army in Hao County, which is probably the reason why some people in the Guangxi clan were dissatisfied with him.
"Maybe it's here or maybe it's there." Yang Tianfeng pointed at two positions and said, "If they really have this idea, I'm willing to help. However, it's certain to divide the activity areas, and this requires negotiation and resolution between the two parties."
"Okay, I'll go and test it." Yu Yanong nodded and agreed.
"I will return to Yongcheng soon. You can contact me directly through the radio station." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "The strategy for development in eastern Henan has been decided. The battle is not far away. The fourth detachment is newly built. We must step up training and become a strong army as soon as possible."
"I understand." Yu Yanong paused for a moment and said, "To be honest, Yu is deeply uneasy about the position of serving as the captain of the detachment. If possible, Yu wants to go to the special training class to study first."
"You don't have to go to the special training class to study." Yang Tianfeng said with a smile: "You can also seize the time to learn and improve while leading the troops. If the war technique of the Third Column is indeed different from other troops, it is more flexible and diverse. Well, I have the textbooks for the special training class here, and Chief of Staff Lin Cunxiao can also answer questions and answer questions. I believe that soon, Commander Yu will become a qualified commander and a famous general with outstanding military achievements."
"Famous generals dare not think about it. They just want to win more battles and kill more Japanese soldiers." Yu Yanong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Fighting the Japanese, the Third Pillar is not vague." Yang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Let's go, if you have free time, accompany me to see the Japanese planes caught by Song Qingpu and the others. That kind of thing, haha, we will have it in the future."
"Can we have a plane?" Yu Yanong was really shocked and walked out with Yang Tianfeng.
************************************************************************
Although the words are not nice, war is like two sides of a coin. On the one hand, it promotes the development of science and technology, and on the other hand, it hinders the progress of society.
The War of Resistance Against Japan was in 1939. After the Battle of Wuhan ended, the frontal battlefield temporarily entered a period of stability, and the battle between the enemy and us turned to endurance.
When it comes to endurance without the support of military production, wars cannot be fought. If you are forced to do so, the Chinese have burst out with surprising creative enthusiasm and exerted 200% creativity. Countless scientific and technological workers and industrial workers are fighting for this war.
The forced war and the demand of the government and the people made China's steel production continue to increase during the War of Resistance Against Japan: it was impossible to produce tinplate before the war, but by 1941, the output of tinplate reached 28,607 tons; there were only a dozen iron plants before the war, and by the heyday of 1943, there were already sixteen state-owned iron plants and ninety-eight private iron plants. Due to the large investment and slow performance of steel mills, most of them were state-owned steel plants operating, and only four were private.
In a state of war, the government had to give up the idea and practice of advocating foreign countries and fawning on foreign countries, actively guide the scientific and technological research of its own metallurgical industry to closely cooperate with the needs of the development of the military industry. This work is mainly through the Ministry of Economics and the National Defense Science and Technology Progress Conference, and proposes projects that urgently need to be studied in the military industry.
Among the urgently needed raw materials announced by the Ministry of Economic Affairs at that time, aluminum smelting, tungsten smelting, antimony utilization, chromium substitutes, steel plates, silicon steel sheets, etc., were listed as important projects. Because they were in an almost completely closed environment for research and experiments, Chinese metallurgical industry scientific and technological workers during the War of Resistance Against Japan had to rely on their own strength to explore and research to fill the gap.
The success of the crucible steelmaking method has solved the technical problems such as the new method of smelting steel, refining pure tungsten, refining ferroalloys, alloy steels and front steels (high-speed tool steels), which can be said to be a major technological breakthrough.
Moreover, the steelmaking, coal chemistry and other aspects guided by Yang Tianfeng are not all closed and confidential. Just like Zhang Dayu, many valuable suggestions and materials were sent to enterprises and well-known experts in the rear.
Most people who engage in science and technology have a common problem, and they are eager for knowledge and information related to this major. Before the successful crucible steelmaking method, some experts rushed to Yongcheng without fearing the long and difficult roads, not only to obtain more and more detailed information, but also to promote military production in the base area.
Electric welding was solved, grey iron was smelted, bauxite aluminum was successfully made, and crucible steelmaking method also made breakthroughs... Whether it was filling the domestic gap or improving the process quality, these were the achievements of Chinese scientific and technological workers during the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, due to Yang Tianfeng's existence and the information he provided, a lot of research and experiment time was reduced, which greatly advanced the process.
"I really didn't expect that so many achievements could be achieved in the occupied areas." Qiu Yuchi, who was originally teaching chemistry at Jinling Women's University and later obtained a degree in metallurgical engineering, was filled with emotion. "The information collected by General Yang from abroad is a wealth that is hard to buy, and the hardships of the base area are even more admirable."
Several experts and scholars nodded and said that they not only obtained confidential scientific and technological information from various countries, but also participated in and guided the military production in the base areas to a greater or lesser extent, but also saw the various creations made by the arsenal technicians doing their best to overcome various difficulties.
Taking the lead chamber method to produce sulfuric acid as an example, without enough lead plates, the explosives factory creatively used the jar of pickled vegetables for the lead chamber, and achieved success; and the local method of welding, which made people admire him.
"Mr. Qiu is too awarded." Yang Tianfeng smiled and waved his hand, saying: "There are also experts who have worked hard to come to this occupied area. This is not only a diligent exploration of scientific and technological knowledge, but also full of patriotism. He must use what he has learned to contribute to the war of resistance. In this regard, Yang should admire this. Speaking of these scientific and technological information, it is not the wealth of a certain person, but the wealth of the whole China and the nation, and the driving force and support for fighting against invaders and defending the country."
"General Yang is generous. After all, he is a soldier. He does not have the bad habit of literati who cherishes himself." An expert sighed, "We have discussed that if we have achieved certain achievements after returning, we will promptly inform and teach General Yang. When is this time? Who still points to this wealth?"
