Chapter 310 Yu Ye: Commander, don’t congratulate me, just take it!
Led by Yu Ye, the group came to the warehouse. The six cannons had been stored in the warehouse after maintenance and were covered tightly with tarpaulin.
This warehouse was built after the artillery was built. The independent regiment hired village bricklayers to build a long row of houses.
It's okay without a reinforced concrete cover, at least it's slightly better than leaving it in the open air.
After the commander and his entourage entered the warehouse, Yu Ye ordered his men to remove the tarpaulins covering the six heavy artillery pieces.
It was like a sharp and peerless sword being drawn from its scabbard, revealing a menacing cold light.
Looking at the ferocious muzzle of the 155 caliber howitzer, everyone's heart shuddered.
This is the God of War!
Since the Liaoyuan Arsenal did not have suitable paint to paint these heavy artillery at that time, what was presented to everyone was the original silver-gray color of steel, and in some places there were even some very rough welding points still exposed.
Unusually rugged heavy industrial beauty.
If it were put in the future, this work would definitely be criticized by military workers because it was done too roughly.
But at this point in the past 40 years, this can be regarded as the most perfect work.
With the small workshop-like production capacity of the Liaoyuan Ice Factory at that time, they were able to produce such works. It has to be said that it is simply awesome!
The commander had been in the army for many years and had seen a lot of heavy artillery, but they were all enemy weapons. Before Yu Ye appeared, the most powerful weapons of the Eighth Route Army were only mortars and the explosive packs bundled by the soldiers themselves.
The commander was silent. He walked forward, touched the gun barrel which still had some burrs on it, and his eyes instantly turned red.
If these heavy weapons had been available a few years earlier, those comrades who died would not have used their bodies to blow up the bunkers.
"In industry..."
The commander's voice was a little hoarse.
Before the commander could finish his words, Yu Ye said directly: "Commander, don't say anything, take these six guns with you when you go back later.
There are not many shells left now, only 31.
You guys can use them for now, and I will send them to you when the arsenal resumes production.
However, our gun barrel casting technology is not yet mature. A gun barrel needs to be replaced after firing about 200 rounds. When the time comes, remember to tow it back so we can repair it.
By the way, you can also take the artillery team attached to these six guns with you."
Yu Ye did not hold back and handed all the heavy artillery to the commander.
"But, Commander, there is just one thing. We cannot give you the trucks that tow these heavy artillery pieces. These trucks will be more useful in our independent regiment.
We sent a few trucks to the brigade commander earlier, you can use them first."
When it came to key resources, Yu Ye sold the brigade commander without hesitation.
brigadier:"......"
After listening to Yu Ye's words, the commander was somewhat moved. He did not expect that Yu Ye had such a big vision.
He made a move that shocked everyone present, turned around and saluted Yu Ye solemnly: "Comrade Yu Ye, I thank you on behalf of the entire Eighth Route Army!"
"Commander, you are too kind. I am also a member of this glorious army!"
Yu Ye's heart was filled with ripples. If his colleagues in the future knew that the commander personally saluted him to express his gratitude, he didn't even dare to imagine how jealous they would be.
All I can say is that for those comrades in later generations, there were too many lemons and they could not eat them all.
"However, we can't take everything away. The defense of your Liaoyuan Arsenal is also very important. Now you are the core of our core.
I don't want what happened to Yamamoto Ikki to happen again.
I'll leave you two cannons and 10 shells first. After you resume production, your independent regiment can keep 20 heavy cannons.
I specially approved it."
The commander thought for a moment and said.
"It's all up to you."
Yu Ye did not make any changes and focused on following the arrangements.
The commander patted the barrel of the heavy artillery and said to everyone, "Take a look for yourselves first. Yu Ye, come with me for a walk."
"it is good."
Yu Ye understood that this person had something to explain to him.
The two walked around the base, and everywhere on the road they could see villagers or soldiers repairing houses and roads that had been destroyed by floods or the Japanese invaders. It was a lively scene.
"Xiao Yu, it was you who attacked Ping'an County this time, right?"
After walking for a while, the commander asked in a calm tone.
"Yes."
In front of the commander, Yu Ye didn't want to hide anything and he told the truth frankly.
"Next time, don't be so impulsive. In war, sacrifices are inevitable, but we can't act on our impulse.
If any casualties were caused in vain, we would be ashamed of our comrades who sacrificed their lives."
The commander warned earnestly.
Whether in later generations or in this era, Yu Ye has always known that the commander has a fiery character and that all the battles he has fought have been won from desperate situations. He never expected that the commander would also have such a tender side.
The commander would also worry that his soldiers would die in vain.
He is truly a real man and a great general.
"Commander, I promise you that I will not be impulsive next time."
Yu Ye looked into the commander's eyes and said seriously.
"Xiao Yu, if you take such action again next time, you must report it to us. How do you know we won't agree?
Don't cut the telephone line short next time."
The commander looked at Yu Ye with a smile.
Yu Ye blushed and scratched his head. The commander saw everything.
"Next time, definitely next time!"
The two stood side by side in front of a cliff slope, looking at the large farmland and hills in front of them, without saying a word for a long time.
"Commander, after I finish the work at hand, I want to move the Liaoyuan Arsenal to Ping'an County and leave it as our Liaoyuan Arsenal R&D center."
Yu Ye considered the wording.
Because at this moment, the Japs' power was still very strong, and the fight for and change of cities happened in an instant.
If the production workshop of Liaoyuan Arsenal is to be moved to Ping'an County, more troops will inevitably be mobilized to defend the city, which may change our army's current strategy, and the impact will be huge.
In other words, this will have a huge impact and put enormous pressure on the commander.
"No problem, just go ahead and do it. If you have any problems, I'll take care of them for you."
The commander never asked why they had to move to Ping'an County. He just told Yu Ye to go ahead and do it. He meant that as long as you think it is necessary, then just do it. I will fully support you.
Yu Ye had originally prepared many reasons and planned to explain to the commander that industrial clusters are the key to better development. However, after the commander said this, he suddenly realized that they were of no use at all.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, do you have enough manpower now? Do you need someone to help you coordinate various resources and assist you in your work?
I think Rong Zhengwei from Southeast Shanxi is pretty good. He has a science and engineering background and is technically proficient. "
The commander asked.
After hearing this, Yu Ye broke out in a cold sweat. In theory, he was still under the management of the brigade, and he had a divisional political commissar as his deputy. This...
Besides, that’s Political Commissar Rong. How can he be my deputy?
Yu Ye's throat tightened, and after a moment's deliberation, he said, "Commander, it's not needed for now. However, it should be needed after a while, and I'll ask you for it then.
However, I absolutely cannot let anyone serve as my deputy. "
"When?"
"Commander, maybe when we have more than 2000 high-speed centrifuges."
