"Old Xiang? Who? Could it be Lao Xiang who follows Lao Zhao to engage in artillery, right?" Hu Yizhou asked.

"Yes! It's him! Xiang Dongfang! The family knew that you lacked military cadres, so they sent him! He and Lao Zhao were both magic gunners. With him to help you, you can have someone to command your artillery!"

"Then the relationship is good! By the way, where are others?" Hu Yizhou asked.

"I came with us, I guess I'm with the soldiers now!" Liu Gan said.

"Okay, see him later! Senior brother, the number of troops here should not be too large, so I tried my best to strengthen my weapons and equipment. After the equipment of my security regiment is fully armed, I will put the excess labor and equipment into the production of bolt-action rifles and bullets!"

"As it said, raw materials, I need raw materials! Tell my family and brothers, steel, aluminum, copper blocks, wooden butt stocks... all the things that can be used in the arsenal are sent here, and I will never treat them unfairly! They are all making contributions to the anti-Japanese war!"

"I understand! I will say it!"

"Okay, then there's nothing wrong. Let's go and find Lao Xiang to go to the cafeteria for a meal!"

"OK!"

When Hu Yizhou and Liu Gan found Xiang Dongfang, Xiang Dongfang was following the soldiers brought by Liu Gan to the logistics department of the Sun Family Military Camp.

"There are seven qualified stocks for you. These three are unqualified in the wood treatment. These two are slightly shallower in the receiver slot, and the other is inappropriate in the position of the mortise and tenon holes!"

"Look, this is the inspection mold we just made. Just stick it on the butt stock. As long as these lines are aligned, it will be qualified! Take this mold back and create a new butt stock to be inspected!"

Here in the Logistics Department, the carpenters from the arsenal inspected the butt stocks brought by Liu Gan one by one, gave inspection opinions, and gave them a mold.

"Old Xiang! My junior brother is here! You haven't seen each other for many years, let's go get together!" Liu Gan said without seeing each other.

"Haha, Lao Xiang, let's go to the cafeteria!" Hu Yizhou went up and grabbed him and raised his hand to salute Xiang Dongfang.

"..." Xiang Dongfang followed the two of them silently and went to the cafeteria.

The food in the cafeteria is full of big pot dishes, but Hu Yizhou directly asked Master Xu to cook a few specialty side dishes and also made a small jar of Fenjiu. Master Xu is now in charge of the security team's food, but he still likes to cook all day long, and his skills are getting better and better.

Two meat, two vegetables and one egg flower soup, Hu Yizhou and Liu Ganxiang Dongfang and the other three sat next to a small square table.

"The conditions are limited, and a few side dishes are served and a jar of wine. Welcome to Comrade Dongfang to join the security team!" Hu Yizhou raised his glass first.

"Come on, I'll love you, you are the oldest here, you have to do this wine!" Liu Gan said.

He did not raise his glass to Dongfang, but looked at Hu Yizhou and said, "I brought it to work, to fight against Japan and kill the enemy! If you want to welcome me, just one steamed bun and one cup of boiling water! If you have the money for drinking, you can use it to make an extra grenade!"

"Old Xiang!" Liu Gan raised his voice.

"It's okay!" Hu Yizhou waved his hand to stop him.

"Old Xiang, I know that you have a firm will and are a qualified soldier! Maybe you don't like what we are now and feel that we have lost what we should be!"

"But, I want to tell you that the poorer you work is, the better! It is not that we are not in the world! Our purpose is to overthrow the three mountains that are pressing on us, and to let all 400 million compatriots live a good life!"

"The weapons in the military camps you see, including the wine and food in front of you, are all purchased out of my own pocket! I did not ask for a penny at home, but instead kept adding weapons and ammunition to the home, and most of the battle captures were given to the home!"

"Also, when I was fighting in my security team, I had good weapons and ammunition in place. It was definitely not the way you used to count ammunition to fight! And these were all obtained by my own efforts!"

"I admit that we need to have firm confidence and simple spirit when doing work, but we have the ability to make ourselves better, so why do we still have to eat braised vegetables?"

"In addition, you may have heard that from the new recruits to veterans, the standard for food is to eat and eat to fill up every meal! And these are also for the anti-Japanese war! Do you know how heavy the training tasks of our security team are? If you don't give them enough food, the soldiers will be trained to death!"

"If you think it's okay to make the soldiers so hungry that they go to the Japanese to fight their lives, then from today on, your standard for food is boiled water, mixed grains, steamed buns, pickles and lumps!"

"I don't know what your family told you when you came, but since you join me, you must follow the combat rules and living habits of the security team! If you can't do it, please go back!"

"Actually, we won't have a long time like this. When the Japanese come to their senses and start to rectify the rear, let alone the steamed buns with mixed grains, half of the grains must be eaten!"

"I'm not building a faction in the Shantou, but want to ensure the particularity of the security team. This force will be a pilot, an attempt, and an exploration of future military construction!"

After Hu Yizhou finished speaking, he sat down and drank a glass of wine. Hu Yizhou welcomed Lao Xiang's arrival, but if he couldn't turn, please leave. Just an artillery commander, but he can't train himself?

"Okay!" He took a breath towards Dongfang and drank a glass of wine.

"Since your family has a great career and dares to make a fortune like this, I have no objection! Isn't it just drinking and eating meat? What if I think I am a stalemate? But you really have enough shells here?" Well, the last sentence is the point.

"I'm going to form an artillery battalion. If you stay, you will be the battalion commander! This battalion has three artillery companies, one with 10 light mortar companies with 82-force light mortar companies, and two heavy mortar companies with 6 120mm mortars!"

"In addition, there are two 92 infantry artillery guns that will depend on the situation! Each infantry battalion below has 6 82 urges, and the infantry company has 4 60 urges as heavy firepower!"

"And the base of shells of our security regiment artillery is: 60-force 120, 82-force 100, and 120-force 80! Lao Xiang, on this basis, you can choose to bring more shells with a base number. As long as you can carry, I have no objection to pulling 1,000 shells with one cannon!" Hu Yizhou said.

"I'm so kind! Our entire Eighth Route Army doesn't have so many shells, right? Okay, just rush these shells, whatever you say! But do you have so many cannons? Do you have so many shells?" Xiang Dongfang asked.

"The cannon is being built! And the 82 force and 60 force are already producing finished products! As for the 120 force, live-fire training should be possible at the end of this month! As for the shells, they are now fully producing!"
