Chapter 291 The surprising arsenal
291
Soon, Vice Commander Zhou arrived at Jiang Zhengshu's official residence, and the staff next to him handed the telegram sent by Hu Bin to Vice Commander Zhou to show.
"This, we really can't say anything about Hu Bin. This money is indeed his. We can't steal his!" As soon as Vice Commander Zhou saw this telegram, he knew what Commander Jiang meant, and immediately started talking.
"The country is in trouble now. Hu Bin has so much money, and he robs the Japanese. Logically speaking, he has to make some contributions to our country's anti-Japanese cause.
Besides, Hu Bin is a soldier of your Eighth Route Army. You can completely convince Hu Bin to take out some of the money to support our anti-Japanese cause. Now let alone Hu Bin, even the people at home and abroad, who tighten their belts to survive in order to fight against Japan, and support our country's anti-Japanese resistance, Hu Bin is no exception!" Jiang Zhengshu sat there and said to Vice Commander Zhou.
"But as the telegram said, Hu Bin made great contributions to our country's anti-Japanese cause on the battlefield. Whether it was killing the Japanese or writing infantry exercises, Hu Bin's contribution was huge and there was no return!" Deputy Commander Zhou immediately took it back.
The meaning is very obvious. So far, Chongqing has not given any rewards to Hu Bin for all his contributions. It has given some weapons and ammunition in Yan'an, but it was also given to restrain Japanese materials from moving south. It is not entirely because of Hu Bin.
Commander Jiang's face turned a little red when he heard Deputy Commander Zhou's words, but immediately said: "We have decided to award Hu Bin the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which is a great honor!"
"This is a great honor for Hu Bin, but so many contributions are a bit unreasonable. If the general of the National Army made such great contributions, there would definitely be more than just one medal!" Deputy Commander Zhou said again.
"Well. Then what else does he want?" Jiang Tongshuai looked at him and asked.
"I don't know what he wants. His telegram also shows that he did not give due honors to the contributions he made before." Deputy Commander Zhou shook his head and said.
"I can give him the rank of major general and a divisional division, but according to what I know, he is still young now, so I will talk about it in a few years. We will remember his contributions now!" Commander Jiang said immediately.
"You have to tell him this yourself, otherwise this misunderstanding will not be eliminated. We really can't make the decision on this money. If you want money, you can tell him directly that we don't dare to deduct his money. If he sends another clear telegram, then the matter will be big!" Deputy Commander Zhou sat there and looked at Commander Jiang and said.
When Commander Jiang heard this, he frowned and looked at Deputy Commander Zhou. The words of Deputy Commander Zhou just now were very obvious. The telegram that Hu Bin sent him now is already good. If Hu Bin sent a clear telegram, and the people across the country know it, it would be difficult to end.
"You can do the work on Hu Bin. We need to use this money to buy weapons and ammunition. You also know that our country is in great difficulty now. Fighting war requires a lot of money. You can continue to do Hu Bin's work!" Commander Jiang said to Deputy Commander Zhou. However, his tone was reduced, and he couldn't force Hu Bin directly. If Hu Bin really invented the code telegram, it would be hard to say.
"We have been doing Hu Bin's job, but it's quite difficult. This matter is not something he can decide alone. There are dozens of people who act with him. They have to make decisions together, but we will do our best!" Deputy Commander Zhou said immediately, knowing in his heart that it is impossible to take out the money.
However, on the commander's side, Zhong Mochu had just arrived here and sent a telegram. After the commander knew about it, he immediately started to send people to send Hu Bin to the arsenal. The earlier he left Yan'an, the better.
That night, Hu Bin and a few cadres who escorted him to the arsenal.
But at this time, on the base camp, an order to assassinate Hu Bin was issued, and all the Japanese intelligence agencies in North China were moved and began to find out where Hu Bin was. Then Japan would send an operation team to kill Hu Bin.
"It's been 2 days, and there's no news about Hu Bin. Damn, where did Hu Bin hide!" As the coordinator of this operation, Shiro Sawada started to speak up very unhappily before he found out that Hu Bin had been discovered.
Now he didn't dare to stay at the command center. He knew when Hu Bin would come to attack again. Shigeru Sawada had already placed the command center in his military camp.
"Report, the base camp telegram, and found that Hu Bin appeared in Yan'an, but I don't know where he is now!" A staff officer came over with the telegram and said.
"Yoxi, Hu Bin actually hid in Yan'an. He really knew we were going to attack him!" After seeing the telegram, Shiro Sawada nodded with satisfaction.
The staff officer continued to wait there.
"Send a telegram to our intelligence personnel in Yan'an, find Hu Bin's location, and then stare at him. Once his location is determined, we will send an operational force over. Hu Bin, you are dead this time!" Shirou Sawada explained to the staff officer.
"Hi!" The staff officer left immediately.
"Report, now all the troops are urging supplies, and the 6th Division and the 20th Division are urging them. The materials in various places are not stored enough!" another staff officer said.
"Baga, our vehicles are limited now, don't worry, they will be delivered!" Shigeru Sawada heard it and started speaking.
Now in Shanxi, his military rank is the highest, so all the divisions and regiments below are under his control. Therefore, if anything happens, the corps captains will send him telegrams directly, which makes him very annoyed!
Hu Bin didn't know that the Japanese intelligence agencies were already preparing to attack him. He was now quite depressed to report to the arsenal. Today, he also pleaded with the commander during the day, but the commander just refused and must let Hu Bin go to the arsenal.
In the end, there was no choice but to go there.
It was not until dawn that Hu Bin and his friends arrived at the arsenal. The arsenal was hidden in the old forest in the mountains and was very alert. Hu Bin and his friends passed by a total of 10 checkpoints yesterday, all of which had to check their documents.
When Hu Bin arrived at the arsenal, he was stunned when he was on the last big slope. Because there were dozens of old thatched huts like that, and judging from the surrounding environment of those thatched huts, these thatched huts were lived in, and some even had clothes dry outside.
"This, this, this, this is an arsenal?" Hu Bin pointed to the huts and asked the cadres who sent him over.
"This is a residential area, and the conditions are relatively difficult now!" One of the cadres nodded and said.
"I, I, I want to go to the front line!" Hu Bin looked at the huts and was very depressed. He didn't know what to say. He immediately said he wanted to go back to the front line, but no one paid any attention to him.
Soon, they arrived below and saw several cadres looking like cadres from afar, and two people with glasses were standing there waiting.
"Welcome, Team Leader Wang, welcome to visit us!" At this time, a middle-aged man standing in the middle, covered in black all over. He smiled and reached out to hold one of the cadres and said.
"I sent someone here. You have received the previous telegram. Hu Bin, here to be the deputy factory director, and he also came to learn!" The man who was called Team Leader Wang smiled and began to introduce him to everyone. After introducing Hu Bin, Team Leader Wang introduced the people from the arsenal to Hu Bin.
Among them, the big black man is the factory director here, named Li Dachui. His family has been thugs for several generations. His father directly called him Li Dachui, so now the daimyo is also Li Dachui. The other people are the secretary here, Wang Xinyun, chief engineer Zhang Ke, and deputy chief engineer Liang Hong.
After Hu Bin met them, they immediately took Hu Bin to the cafeteria, saying that it was a wooden shelf, with a roof covered with a shelter to protect the wind and rain, and there were about 10 tables inside.
After breakfast, the people obtained the documents for Hu Bin and then took Hu Bin to visit the arsenal. The arsenal was in a huge cave, and it was divided into small compartments by those people with stones. Hu Bin stood there and looked inside and found that there were at least 200 people working inside, and there were several simple machines.
"Come on, Director Hu, this is our gun repair place. There are more than 20 technicians here to repair the guns. In front is our bullet reloading factory. We all need to reload the bullet shells sent from your front line!" Li Dachui smiled and introduced to Hu Bin in front.
When Hu Bin saw this, he felt that he didn't look like an arsenal at all, but more like the later generations of rags that repaired trash, and everything else was available. Here, he could only repair guns and reload bullets, and nothing else could do.
After Hu Bin looked at the entire factory with a calm look on his face, he and Li Dachui and others sent Team Leader Wang and the others away. Hu Bin sent it to the door of the arsenal, turned around and looked at the big cave behind him, and sighed.
"Why, don't you look down on our arsenal?" Li Dachui asked at Hu Bin.
"Oh, I would rather go to the front line!" Hu Bin said with a sigh.
"It's okay, it's enough for half a year. Anyway, there's nothing you can do here, you can just patrol every day. Just do other things!" Li Dachui said with a smile and looked at Hu Bin.
When Hu Bin came before, the commander personally sent him a telegram, told him about Hu Bin's affairs, and also ordered him to keep it confidential and not let people outside know that Hu Bin is here! (~^~)
