The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, Zhang Yunfei got up on time and ran around the outside for a few laps as usual. After running and warming up, Zhang Yunfei did gymnastics several times. Half an hour later, Zhang Yunfei returned to Aunt Guo’s house.

When Zhang Yunfei entered the door, he found that Aunt Guo had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Zhang Yunfei in, Aunt Guo said enthusiastically: "Chief, hurry up and have breakfast, it will be cold after a while."

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Auntie Guo, let's eat together."

Uncle Guo next to him also smiled honestly at Zhang Yunfei, but in this smile, Zhang Yunfei could still feel a little respect for him.

Since I learned about Zhang Yunfei's true identity yesterday, Mr. Guo has unnaturally shown a hint of respect in front of Zhang Yunfei. Although both ** and the Eighth Route Army advocate equality between officers and soldiers, Mr. Guo still has a little respect in his heart when facing Zhang Yunfei.

Guo Xiang next to him was also sitting there preparing for breakfast. When he saw Zhang Yunfei, his face turned red. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Guo Xiang lowered his head very low and whispered: "Brother Zhang, good morning!"

Seeing Guo Xiang's appearance, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, Guo Xiang, thank you for your hospitality. I won't come to trouble you tonight. I have other things, so I may not go back here."

Upon hearing this, Guo Xiang was filled with disappointment and thought to himself, he was about to leave, would he really never see him again in the future?

Thinking of this, two bean-sized tears in Guo Xiang's eyes almost shed. In order not to let everyone see, Guo Xiang lowered his head very low and almost reached into the bowl.

When Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo saw that Zhang Yunfei was about to leave after breakfast, they were filled with sadness. The two of them admired and satisfied Zhang Yunfei very much. Zhang Yunfei's politeness and approachableness made the sadness and reluctance aggravated their sadness and reluctance a little.

Today's breakfast was filled with a dull atmosphere, and even Aunt Guo, who had always been talkative, didn't say much. After dinner, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by two guards who came to greet Zhang Yunfei, headed to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army under the eyes of everyone's farewell.

When we arrived at the command hall of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief, several senior commanders of the Eighth Route Army, as well as comrades Deng Wenping and Liu Dazhu of the 36th Army, had already arrived here. When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei coming in, they greeted him warmly.

When the deputy commander-in-chief saw Zhang Yunfei coming in, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Comrade Yunfei, let's go to our Huangyadong Arsenal today."

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said happily: "Okay. Mr. Peng, let me also take a look and understand your weapons and equipment production."

Today I went to Huangyadong Arsenal to see it. It was something that had been discussed long ago. This time, Zhang Yunfei brought everyone to the Eighth Route Army headquarters to observe and communicate. On the one hand, I wanted to learn about the training situation, combat effectiveness, etc. of the Eighth Route Army troops. On the other hand, Zhang Yunfei also wanted to check out the production of the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment.

The Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army was planned to be built in early 1938. During this period, Zhang Yunfei supported some equipment. The current Huangyadong Arsenal is mainly engaged in the production of bullet reloading and grenades. In addition, it also produces a small number of rifles, but the production of these rifles is not high, with only about one or two hundred per month.

However, due to technical strength and equipment, the quality of weapons and equipment produced by the Huangyadong Arsenal is not very good. For example, the reloaded bullets will often get stuck when used. The grenades are also limited in power and often blown in half. The soldiers jokingly call this kind of grenade "made in the border area."

The rifles produced are slightly worse than those made in Hanyang. The barrel rifle wears very quickly and the accuracy of the rifle is not high. The soldiers are willing to use the captured Type 38 rifle or the formal rifle.

But in addition to these, the Huangyadong Arsenal can also repair some firearms, such as Czech light machine guns and Maxine heavy machine guns. As long as there is no serious failure, the Huangyadong Arsenal can basically repair it.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was in good spirits, he seemed to be quite interested in Huangyadong Arsenal, so the deputy commander-in-chief also said happily: "Comrade Yunfei, then let's set off now and try to get there sooner."

Huangyadong Arsenal is 20 or 30 kilometers away from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It can only be reached by horse. It is estimated that it will take more than two hours, because the mountain road is rugged and you cannot run away.

Today, the deputy commander-in-chief personally accompanied Zhang Yunfei, the entourage. In addition to the director of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, there were several middle and senior commanders, and there were also soldiers from a guard company to accompany him.

In the 36th Army, in addition to Deng Wenping and Liu Xing, there were also 20 special forces members. As for the comrades of the Guard Company, Zhang Yunfei only brought a platoon to accompany him, because the Eighth Route Army had already brought a guard company.

At 8:30 in the morning, the deputy commander-in-chief accompanied Zhang Yunfei, along with the entourage and guards, a total of more than 200 people, rode the war horses that had been prepared long ago to the Huangyadong Arsenal 20 or 30 kilometers away.

It was already past 11:00 a.m. when everyone arrived at Huangyadong Arsenal. When they learned that the deputy commander-in-chief was coming, the person in charge of Huangyadong Arsenal had already brought more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops to greet them at the intersection in front of the canyon.

The location of the Huangyadong Arsenal was repeatedly considered and selected. Before the construction of the arsenal, it took the Eighth Route Army more than two months to choose the address before the Eighth Route Army finally chose it here.

The terrain here is very dangerous, with a path several meters wide leading to the arsenal along the bottom of the valley. On both sides of the canyon are steep cliffs as sharp as knifes. There are many shrubs growing on the cliffs on both sides, completely covering the canyon. It is difficult to find this canyon from a high altitude.

About one kilometer into the canyon, it suddenly became clear that there was a huge basin inside. On one side of the basin, there was a huge cave. The Eighth Route Army's arsenal was located in the cave.

When everyone reached the intersection of the canyon, the deputy commander-in-chief said: "Comrade Yunfei, from here we are our Huangyadong Arsenal."

Zhang Yunfei looked at the surrounding environment and smiled and said, "Mr. Peng, this is really a Feng Shui treasure land."

Zhang Yunfei was right. This is really an excellent place to build an arsenal. It is well hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As far as the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are concerned, it is better to build an arsenal here.

The Eighth Route Army's arsenal is required to put concealment first, because in the Taihang Mountains, since the Eighth Route Army does not have air defense weapons, the Japanese aircraft often visit and investigate. If the Japanese discovered such an arsenal, the Japanese would definitely send bombers to blow it up.

The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is also very important. If the Japanese come in secretly and attack, the defensive power of the arsenal can protect the safety of the arsenal and stick to it until the arrival of reinforcements.

After looking at the surrounding terrain, Zhang Yunfei really fell in love with this place. Here, I seemed to feel a little bit like the Huanglongxia Arsenal. Back then, Zhang Yunfei chose to build an arsenal in Huanglongxia, which was based on this consideration.

However, now, with the mass production of aircraft, the large number of ground air defense weapons, and the help of early warning radar, Zhang Yunfei's 36th Army firmly controlled air supremacy, and the Japanese aircraft no longer dared to visit the Datong area. Zhang Yunfei's arsenal and various factories have now developed vigorously and no longer considered concealment.

Under the leadership of the head of Huangyadong Arsenal, Zhang Yunfei and the deputy commander-in-chief, a total of more than 200 people entered this narrow canyon. As soon as they entered the canyon, the light was obviously dark. The trees at the top of the canyon blocked most of the sunlight. Although it is winter now, most of the trees have withered, and the canyon is still relatively dark.

The bottom of the canyon is quite flat. It may be that the Eighth Route Army soldiers leveled and repaired the road, but the road was not wide and could barely accommodate a truck. It seems that it is really impossible to transport some large equipment in.

However, the Eighth Route Army did not have any big equipment, only some small equipment, just reloading some bullets, producing some grenades and producing a small number of guns.

Walking in the canyon, Zhang Yunfei said to the deputy commander-in-chief next to him: "Mr. Peng, the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not convenient for us to enter and exit. I see that this width, if a large truck wants to drive in, it will test the driver's skills."

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief also smiled faintly, "Comrade Yunfei, our conditions here are not as good as you. There are few trucks coming in and out here. We basically rely on carriages or wheelbarrows to carry things."

Seeing the deputy commander-in-chief say this, Zhang Yunfei felt silent. Yes, the conditions for the Eighth Route Army are still relatively difficult. It is already very good to have this small arsenal.

It didn't take long for everyone to pass through this canyon. As soon as they entered the basin, Zhang Yunfei felt a sudden enlightenment and the light was also noticeable. What caught his eye was a large basin covering an area of ​​two or three hundred acres. The basin was surrounded by mountains and surrounded by cliffs.

On the flat ground of the basin, there are several buildings among the bushes. On one side of the basin, there is a huge cave. The cave is more than ten meters high and at least 20 meters wide. You can see many Eighth Route Army busy there. It seems that this is the Eighth Route Army's Huangya Cave Arsenal.

Seeing that he reached his destination, the deputy commander-in-chief smiled and said, "Comrade Yunfei, this is our arsenal."

Zhang Yunfei rode on the horse, looked around, and said with a smile: "Mr. Peng, I didn't expect that there was a world of heaven here. I can't help but want to go in and take a look now."
