Chapter 043 Promotion
Although the later generation Hu Yizhou was born in the hometown of blacksmiths, the ancestral craftsmanship was lost in his generation! When he was a child, he only saw his family working on the stove and forging iron. Later, when the economy improved, he stopped doing this business!
Now I am working with Master Xu, and I feel very friendly!
Seeing that Hu Yizhou was fixing the stove, several of his men came over. It seemed that they had no place to play.
Those who pulled the bellows pulled the bellows, those who lit the fire started the fire, and soon they were busy!
Using the stove from Master Zheng's house, large and small hammers from Chunsheng Grocery Store, coal from Cheng Ji Pharmacy, anvils from Sihai Carriage Shop, and iron pliers from Liu Ji Baozi Shop, Hu Yizhou started to ding.
The great work of blacksmithing!
Although the tool was not very handy, the dagger to be struck was only a few ounces in weight, and it was quickly hammered into shape.
"Zi..." A stream of hot steam rose from the basin found in Chunhe Restaurant.
"Hmm... not bad, I can put it on the whetstone after reshaping it!" Master Xu looked at the dagger in front of him and was very satisfied that his skills had not fallen behind.
"There's one more, let's grind it together!"
"good!"
I don't know when, the third battalion commander came over and stood at the door of the blacksmith shop, watching. The lenses of his glasses reflected the red light of the hot iron, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Zi..." Another burst of white air rose.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" Hu Yizhou glanced at this elegant officer and asked.
"Zi Qing came here to ask for only one thing!"
"You don't need to tell me to know what happened! It was the eighth battalion commander who said it, right? However, when the battle has reached this point, all the tricks that need to be used have been used! It is impossible for the Japanese to make the same mistakes as before! So, you are looking for
I’m useless!”
"I think your wisdom is enough to cope with this battle! There is no other way but to fight to the death!"
Hu Yizhou knew what the Third Battalion Commander was here to do! But he knew that his bad ideas no longer had any effect! The Japs were not fools, unless they were replaced by another group of Japs!
"But...my artillery needs you!" The third battalion commander smiled slightly.
"Order!"
"Pa!" Hu Yizhou stood at attention, and even the few people in the blacksmith shop who ignored the third battalion commander also stood up.
"Commander Hu Zhou of the 98th Division Headquarters... now orders you to be the commander of the new artillery company of the 292nd Brigade, temporarily assigned to the 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment!" The third battalion commander smiled and finished reading the order and looked at Hu Yizhou, "Captain Hu, now
, I leave all my artillery to you! These are rewards for you!"
After the commander of the third battalion finished speaking, the quartermaster of the third battalion led a soldier holding a box over and said, "Captain Master! This is a reward from the top of the mountain! Keep it!"
"I accept the order! But, company commander, where are my soldiers? Where are my cannons? I don't think I only have one combat anti-cannon for my company, right?" Hu Yizhou asked.
"Your soldiers and your artillery will arrive in the afternoon! Well, they will arrive soon! I will give you half a day to organize the troops so that they can go into battle tomorrow! Also, although the third battalion is not rich, it still has military resources.
There are some! If your unit has outstanding military exploits, the Third Battalion will use five hundred French coins as your military equipment!"
After the third battalion commander finished speaking, he turned around and left, including the quartermaster who followed him.
Hu Yizhou looked at the military order in his hand and felt as if he was asking the sky speechlessly, "Oh my god, are you trying to kill me?"
In fact, this order is very simple. It just lists Hu Yizhou's military exploits, and then makes him the artillery company commander. Ordinarily, this military merit is too small for a company commander, but there are not so many artillery! He can only be promoted to two ranks.
, became a captain. He was also given a reward of 50 yuan. I don’t know who told him that he likes money!
However, judging from the expression and performance of the third battalion commander, the news that he likes money must have been spread by the bastard of the eighth battalion commander! Do I really like money that much? It’s pure nonsense!
So, Hu Yizhou held the small box containing the money and gave it to Fang Hao, "Did you hear that? You guys are being rewarded with ten oceans each! Get it yourself!"
"Thank you, sir!" Amid everyone's thanks, ten oceans were divided among each person, and the box returned to Hu Yizhou's hands.
"Ocean! This is a good thing! Hard currency! But what's the point of asking for money in this situation? You can hardly save your life, okay? No! Go to the Eighth Battalion Commander first!" Hu Yizhou made up his mind and found the Eighth Battalion Commander.
battalion commander.
"Hahaha...brother, how are you? Have you been promoted?" the Eighth Battalion Commander said happily.
"Promotion? Promotion to the coffin! How are you? It's time to call you the captain?" Hu Yizhou said.
"Ashamed, ashamed! Our division suffered heavy losses in this battle and is in urgent need of rest and reorganization. Unfortunately, the battle is not over yet, so we can only postpone it! But the order has been issued, and the rest of us have to go to the rear to reorganize!" Eight
The battalion commander said seriously.
"Isn't the battle not over yet?"
"The follow-up troops will take over the defense of our division! You only need to stay in Baoshan City until September 7th, and the follow-up troops will be able to take over! Military vehicles will come over later to deliver ammunition supplies and to your new recruits! We
It's time to take these cars back! How about it? Do you want to send a message for you?" asked the Eighth Battalion Commander.
"Send a message... just wait a moment! I'll be back in a moment!"
Hu Yizhou returned to the yard of his useless artillery position, which became his temporary residence.
According to the memory of the original owner, Hu Yizhou wrote a letter home and put together the more than 1,000 French coins given to him by the Eighth Battalion Commander and the 50 yuan he received this time. He also put the withheld barrel spring and other parts together.
Packed a big bag and packed it up.
"Please help me deliver this letter and these things to the Jixiao Warehouse in Licheng, Shanxi... Please, we must deliver them safely! My money and belongings are all in there!" Hu Yizhou looked at the Eighth Battalion Commander and said.
.
"Don't worry, brother! I will definitely do it!" the Eighth Battalion Commander solemnly promised.
"Thanks!"
"Brothers of life and death, it's a mistake to say this!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Hu Yizhou believed that the Eighth Battalion Commander could safely send his things back to his hometown! The hometown of his body was naturally not in Licheng, but in a col deep in the Taihang Mountains! Jixiao Warehouse was his hometown in the city
A business and a bridge to communicate with the outside world.
In the letter, Hu Yizhou asked his family elders to help him buy items. They were mainly basic items needed for the military industry such as various acids, lead, copper, steel, etc.
Hu Yizhou wants to develop the military industry. This money can only be a drop in the bucket, but there must be a beginning, right? Although the purchasing power of more than a thousand yuan is not a lot, it is not too little these days!
The purchasing power of more than 1,000 French currency, without depreciation, is equivalent to the purchasing power of 150,000 to 60,000 RMB (based on buying two cows for 100 French currency). The supplies accumulated with this money are not small!
Especially now that you can buy all kinds of acids, including sulfuric acid and nitric acid, you need to reserve some! (Taiyuan Arsenal has an acid plant, and Yongli Ning Factory also sells them! The dyeing industry...)
Hu Yizhou doesn't believe that he will die in this battle that is destined to be difficult. He has the confidence to survive! Besides, he will not let himself die so easily after traveling through time!
Of course, even if they are sacrificed here, those materials will eventually be used in the hands of the military rabbits... Hu Yizhou has already made arrangements in the letter!
Not long after, the truck transporting supplies arrived, and Hu Yizhou also met his new subordinates...
