Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 413: Lao Li is right, Xu Zhongyi is really not trustworthy, and you must be cautious when co

It is February 2th. The meeting lasted until 14:11 pm. This meeting has far-reaching influence and has a significant impact on the future development of the base. With the establishment of a complete management system, the operation efficiency within the base has become more efficient, which also provides excellent support for the subsequent anti-spring sweep.

"Old Li, the medicines have been loaded and will be shipped soon. You must be careful of the Japanese fighter planes on this trip to Niujiagou. The college students originally wanted to arrange two fighter planes to escort you, but due to an emergency with the fighter planes, they have to leave an hour later. But Old Li, you are impatient and have to go early and come back early. If you don't want to miss the departure time, you can only follow the scheduled plan and leave on the transport plane first. The fighter planes will rush over later to provide escort for the transport plane formation!"

Zhao Gang wanted to persuade Li Yunlong to set off an hour later. After all, replacing the engine is not an easy job, not to mention that two engines had problems at the same time. This made Zhao Gang think more and even wanted Li Yunlong to cancel the transportation operation.

But Li Yunlong thought it was nothing to be surprised about. This was completely normal. Yesterday, several transport planes had engine problems and had to be replaced, delaying their departure by two hours. You have to know that transport planes have been flying around the clock these days, with very high flight intensity, which has a great impact on the life of the engine. It is completely normal for problems to occur, and there is really no need to be suspicious.

"Old Zhao, even if you are worried about the Japanese, you should trust the transport plane produced by college students. The transport plane after modification is really tough and strong. The Japanese machine gun bullets can't penetrate the defense of the transport plane. The key parts can withstand the direct fire of 20mm machine guns. It is very strong. There is really nothing to worry about!"

While Li Yunlong was talking, Lin Zhenhua ran over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained in a brisk tone: "The probability of two twin-engine Thunder fighters having engine failures at the same time is indeed very low. For safety reasons, I checked it out and found that someone had sabotaged it and added a little fine sand into the engine cylinder, which caused the engine failure."

"The ground crew has reinstalled the four engines shipped from the arsenal, and it is expected to be installed in another 45 minutes. I didn't expect that we haven't cleared out all the Japanese spies after cleaning them out so many times. I now suspect that we were busy for a while before. Otherwise, why would the Japanese do such a trick at this juncture? Isn't it deliberately trying to seduce us?"

"I guess the Japanese are trying to provoke us on purpose, so that we lose our composure and make wrong judgments. I have just asked the ground crew. The two Thunder fighters were just transported here last night. It should be impossible for the current situation to occur, but it happened in front of me. I suspect the problem lies in the arsenal..."

Before Lin Zhenhua finished his guess, Zhou Haiyang came running over in a hurry, reporting with sweat all over his forehead: "College student, we just received an emergency call from the Arsenal. Eight machine tools had problems while working, causing more than a dozen casualties. The people at the Arsenal asked the college student to go back and take charge of the situation. We must find out the Japanese spies hiding in the Arsenal. We can't let them run rampant anymore, otherwise the Arsenal might really stop production completely."

After hearing the news, Lin Zhenhua left in a hurry. If Li Yunlong hadn't had something important to do, he would have left with Lin Zhenhua. Zhao Gang briefly explained to Li Yunlong and then went to chase Lin Zhenhua. Li Yunlong watched the two men leave and called the monk. He said in a serious tone, "Monk, Duan Peng alone is not enough to protect the college student. Don't follow me, go chase the college student and make sure he is safe. If the college student is injured, I will never forgive you!"

Monk Wei assured with a firm face: "Captain, I will not let any of the college students get hurt even if I risk my life. I have to leave quickly, or I will miss the bus!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and asked Monk Wei to set off immediately. He also changed his mind temporarily and decided to set off 15 minutes earlier to meet with Chu Yunfei as soon as possible to negotiate the deal, and then rush back to deal with the arsenal matters.

Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang hurried back to the arsenal, learned the situation in detail, discussed for a while, and then came up with a solution and ordered the arsenal to stop production for maintenance.

"Old Zhao, I will take people to check the machines one by one to make sure there are no problems before starting production. Now we can be sure that the two Thunder fighters were probably caused by an insider in the arsenal. We must find out the traitor. This is what I just sorted out. You should take a good look at it and check everyone who has contact with this line. We must find a result before three o'clock this afternoon."

"I will take this opportunity to properly tidy up the Arsenal, and at the same time increase the number of troops stationed at the Arsenal to prevent this from happening again. If our power station had not been half destroyed, causing major problems with the lighting equipment, which resulted in many blind spots inside the Arsenal, the traitors would not have been able to sabotage it so easily!"

"Before six o'clock tonight, I will redeploy all the lighting routes to ensure that there are no blind spots in each branch factory. I will also install searchlights at the sentries and checkpoints. Starting tonight, we must strengthen the defense of the arsenal and never let a similar situation happen again."

"When the arsenal starts operations on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we need to let the soldiers have a good rest. After several months of continuous production, the soldiers in the arsenal are already very tired. If it weren't for the last resort, I really want to give them three to five days off so that they can have a good rest."

Zhao Gang had no objection to this. The workers in the arsenal had been producing continuously for eight months without a break. They really needed a break during the New Year.

"College student, let's act separately. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The arsenal is in such a mess. If it is not resolved quickly, it will have many adverse effects on us. Not to mention that there are still a large number of troops waiting to be replaced. If there are not enough weapons and ammunition as support, the new round of replacement plan will not be able to continue."

"The rifles we have now have been issued, and there is no excess inventory. The production of semi-automatic rifles must be further increased. Regardless of whether they are easy to use or not, they should be produced and used first. If there are any problems, we can make subsequent improvements!"

"We must not stop the production of hand grenades. We have consumed a large number of them before, but we have never carried out large-scale production. We only have more than 30,000 hand grenades in stock now, which is completely unable to meet our needs. Especially in positional warfare, hand grenades can play a very important role."

"There is no need to argue about the egg-shaped grenade and the wooden-handled grenade. I think both types of grenades can be produced. After all, their application scenarios are somewhat different. If they are used separately, they may achieve unexpected results."

"Also, the production of landmines must be put on the agenda. The so-called stone mines do not perform well on the battlefield. We should develop a practical landmine. The two landmines used before were not very effective. They were often discovered by the Japanese in advance and were cleared by the Japanese before they could exert their true power!"

"During the battle with us, the Japs have grown very fast. If they hadn't massively transferred their main forces to the south, it would have been impossible for our independent regiment to have such a large base. What we need to do now is to recognize our own strengths, find out our shortcomings and deficiencies, and make up for them so that we can cope with the Japs' upcoming spring sweep!"

"Right now, the largest anti-Japanese forces in the entire northwest of Shanxi are only us and Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment. We are definitely a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. Especially after learning that Chu Yunfei plans to retreat, we may not even be able to find a single reinforcement. We must be prepared to be isolated and helpless."

"We can't contact the headquarters or the brigade now. The only person we can contact is Xu Zhongyi, who is suspected of surrendering to the enemy. We dare not deal with him at this time. All our communication is through telegrams. Logically, Xu Zhongyi should have reported our situation to the headquarters, and we should have obtained the code book for contacting the headquarters. But two months have passed, and there has been no response from Xu Zhongyi. I also understand Li Yunlong's concerns. Xu Zhongyi is really a bit unreliable!"

Lin Zhenhua did not have a different opinion on this matter. He had never met Xu Zhongyi and could not judge whether he was trustworthy. However, he believed in Li Yunlong's judgment that Xu Zhongyi did have many problems. Before confirming that he had really betrayed, he had to be cautious in contacting him.

"Old Zhao, it's urgent to set up an intelligence network. We have been fighting small battles before, which has caused us to lose the initiative every time in the intelligence war. It was only after we suffered losses that we discovered the real purpose of the Japanese. Especially after losing the support of the brigade and the headquarters, we have become a lone force. If we don't have a reliable intelligence channel, we will suffer a great loss!"

"We must sort out the affairs of the entire base before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. We must then launch a large-scale military training and production plan to quickly increase our strength in order to cope with the heavy siege of the devils in two months!"
