, Southeast Jin, Luyang.

The seventh day after the Eighth Route Army recovered Luyang.

Minister Zhang Wanhe finally moved to Luyang with his own factory.

Originally, the headquarters had various concerns. The biggest concern was that the Japanese army counterattack, especially the bombing of the Japanese air force.

Everyone thinks that Japanese planes will definitely bombard Luyang.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese plane never went out, and it felt like it was dead.

It is logically not true! The Japanese army still has many airports around the Taihang Mountains. Among them, there are two large airports in Taiyuan and Baoding.

There are more than 100 Japanese aircraft stationed at Taiyuan Airport. They are very powerful combat power. In every major battle, the Japanese invaders will be dispatched.

However……

The Japanese planes have never moved.

Whether the Eighth Route Army conquered Yangquan, conquered Jingxing coal mine, or even conquered Shimen, the Japanese planes did not dispatch.

This has always been a problem that the Eighth Route Army headquarters cannot figure it out.

What are the Japanese planes afraid of?

So, Minister Zhang Wanhe made a bold decision to move the clothing factory to Luyang.

Compared with the valleys and valleys in Huangya Cave, Luyang is much more convenient.

There is a relatively complete supply of raw materials here and a relatively large labor force.

After all, Luyang is also a city, isn’t it?

It is also the largest city in southeastern Shanxi and has a certain economic foundation.

The former clothing factory produced at most dozens of military uniforms every day, which was completely unable to meet the needs of the Eighth Route Army.

After moving to Luyang, at least 300 military uniforms could be produced every day. This was a huge improvement. Of course, Minister Zhang Wan and Minister were moved. In the end, they couldn't hold back and decided to move.

"Hello, Minister Zhang!" Zhao Gang came to greet him in person.

"Xiao Zhao!" Zhang Wanhe shook hands with Zhao Gang with a smile, "Where is Lao Li?"

"He has a combat mission." Zhao Gang explained briefly.

"Okay, don't delay him." Zhang Wanhe said with a smile, "I will rely on you in the future."

Zhao Gang said: "Minister Zhang, don't worry. I have prepared all the raw materials, workers, and machinery and equipment you need. The factory has also been selected. It can accommodate 800 people to work at the same time."

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!" Zhang Wanhe felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is under great pressure now. The main reason is that the supply of military uniforms is to be filled. Summer uniforms are seriously inadequate.

At present, almost all the Eighth Route Army soldiers are still wearing cotton coats and winter clothes. Even the leaders of the headquarters only wear cotton coats and military uniforms. They are covered with broken cotton wool.

As summer gradually approaches and the weather is hot, I have to find a way to add a single-suit military uniform to the soldiers.

Well, this is already the lowest standard. One set for each warrior.

It is impossible to count on Chongqing to allocate. The Kuomintang itself is not enough.

Everything must be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing. This is the slogan proposed by Yan'an recently.

"You really have more than a hundred sewing machines?"

“It really is.”

"I'm a little incredible!"

"You'll know in a while."

"well!"

Zhang Wanhe is very looking forward to it.

Not long after, his worries completely disappeared.

He really saw more than 100 pedal sewing machines, all of which were brand new.

Most of them were pulled out of the Longwan warehouse.

Later, they discovered one after another.

No one feels wrong. They all think it is Japanese stock.

I just haven't heard of the brand. What kind of Nan brand? And the inscriptions on it all look like Chinese characters. But it doesn't feel like Chinese characters. It's too simple.

"I heard from Yang Yue that this word is pronounced as Hua, the Chinese name of Hua. South China card." Zhao Gang explained briefly.

"How could the Chinese character "Chinese" be written like this?" Zhang Wanhe was puzzled.

"I asked Yang Yue. He said that this is the way foreigners write. Foreigners think that there are too many Chinese characters in our Chinese and it is too difficult to write, so they simplify them and call them simplified characters. He also made a simplified character comparison table. You see, this one..."

"Not to mention, this little guy Yang Yue is still very thoughtful. It is just this simplified character that has completely lost the charm of Chinese characters..."

"I guess he created it himself. This guy doesn't want to write very much. However, many new warriors are willing to learn these simplified words."

"Of course! There are so many fewer strokes when writing."

"Yang Yue said so too. Our cultural teachers in the voyage are thinking about the promotion of simplified characters!"

"Just don't delay the war."

"Of course. Right. There are some electric sewing machines."

“Electric?”

"right!"

Zhao Gang took Zhang Wanhe to the house next to him.

There are more than 20 electric sewing machines inside, which are similar to the structure outside. There is only a motor that does not require human trampling.

"Is there electricity?" Zhang Wanhe asked.

"There is a diesel generator." Zhao Gang replied, "There is no power plant."

"Diesel is a bit expensive!" Zhang Wanhe was reluctant to let it go, "Let's use our feet for the time being, wait..."

"Yang Yue said that Xinyi Brigade exchanged 100 military uniforms for a barrel of diesel."

"What's the meaning?"

"You allocate one hundred military uniforms to our New Brigade, and we will give you a bucket of diesel."

"You have diesel?"

"Not many. But Yang Yue promised to get it for you. There is one in the Japanese."

"well!"

Zhang Wanhe was very happy.

With diesel and diesel generators, electric sewing machines can come in handy!

Of course, this kind of "high-tech" thing requires training to be used.

However, it is obvious that the improvement in production efficiency it brings will be amazing. Perhaps it is possible to produce 500 military uniforms a day.

For the Eighth Route Army, this may really solve the problem of summer clothing.

When the summer clothes are produced, Yang Yue will first assign a set to express his gratitude.

"This is the cotton seized by the Independent Group in Anze, and it has been delivered."

"In a few days, the cotton cloth seized by Yangquan will also be delivered in large quantities."

Zhao Gang's brief introduction.

His current focus is to restore production in Luyang.

The Eighth Route Army must make use of the treasure land in southeastern Shanxi as soon as possible. Therefore, the task of commanding the battle of the New First Brigade has been handed over to Political Commissar Deng of the 129th Division himself.

Zhao Gang is still very active in his new job.

Logistical production is also very important.

The Eighth Route Army was really too poor. They didn’t even wear clothes and had very little food.

Yan'an is basically barren and poor, and it is difficult to ensure its own supply. It is said that someone has already suggested that he should go to explore Nanniwan.

Zhao Gang asked others and learned that Nanniwan is a barren mountain and almost no one cultivated it. If you want to reclaim the land, you must start from scratch. You may even need to mobilize the main force to farm. Otherwise, you can't do it by relying on ordinary people. Relatively speaking, the foot basin in southeastern Shanxi is much richer.

There are millions of people here!

There is relatively fertile land here.

With population and land, of course we need to work hard to develop.
Chapter completed!
