Chapter 49
Arriving at the Logistics Department, Meeting with Minister Zhang

As Su Yang and his team made an emergency withdrawal.

The Japanese soldiers, having waited for a long time without the return of the puppet troops and their teammates, realized something was wrong. The Japanese sergeant quickly led the team to investigate.

Only the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and the unconscious puppet troops remained.

Su Yang and his team had already left.

After talking with Chen Nan Nan, Su Yang learned that she hadn't decided where to go yet. He suggested that she join the county detachment and establish a medical team.

Chen Nan Nan felt grateful towards Su Yang after he rescued her.

Therefore, when Su Yang invited her, Chen Nan Nan readily agreed without hesitation.

However, as Su Yang and his team needed to go to the logistics department, for the safety of the logistics department, Su Yang arranged for Chen Nan Nan to stay in the nearby county detachment.

He instructed them to return to the base together when he returned.

He also asked the people in the county detachment to register, observe and evaluate her.

Then, he set off once again towards the logistics department.

...

Black Dragon Mountain Range, Base.

Chen Feng, the battalion commander of the 772nd Regiment, finally arrived at the base in the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

After exchanging words with Zhang Liang, he learned that he had arrived too late.

As for Su Yang's whereabouts, Zhang Liang didn't reveal much.

Zhang Liang politely declined Chen Feng's invitation to join his battalion.

He was well aware of Su Yang's capabilities. He wouldn't accept even a deputy company commander position, let alone a battalion commander position.

This trip to the logistics department would surely make Su Yang famous.

It was highly likely that he would stay at the Military Industry Department.

Even if not, his merit of inventing smokeless gunpowder was enough to earn the brigade commander's attention.

Adding his military command skills, he would at least be a company commander, if not higher.

A deputy company commander position wasn't sincere enough.

It was even possible to obtain an independent battalion.

In our army's organization, such things have happened before. As long as the local armed forces meet the requirements in terms of strength and achievements, they can directly obtain an independent battalion or an independent regiment.

However, Chen Feng was a regular army battalion commander after all, so Zhang Liang still gave him enough face.

He warmly welcomed Chen Feng.

Upon learning that the county detachment's force had reached nearly 300 people, with almost everyone equipped with a rifle, along with 5 Czech light machine guns and a mortar.

At this moment!

Chen Feng had a general understanding of the situation.

Moreover, both the civilians and soldiers held great admiration for Su Yang.

This made him once again deeply realize Su Yang's abilities.

No wonder the regiment commander valued him so much, even the brigade commander paid attention to him.

This trip left Chen Feng deeply impressed.

He also realized his shortcomings and couldn't help but feel curious and respectful towards Su Yang.

Afterwards, Chen Feng no longer delayed, returning to report back to the regiment commander.

......

On the other side.

Su Yang and his team, led by Liu Jun, finally arrived at One-Line Heaven.

Liu Jun excitedly pointed to the mountain in front, saying to Su Yang, "Over that mountain is Huang Ya Dong!"

At this moment, his anxious heart finally settled.

They were now safe.

Looking at the terrain before him, Su Yang couldn't help but admire the foresight of the commander and deputy chief of staff.

Huang Ya Dong, including Weng Ge Lang, Hei Hu Kou, Shui Yao Shan, and Tao Hua Zhai, was formed by tectonic plates that created numerous canyons stretching for tens of kilometers. Huang Ya Dong itself was located within Huang Ya Feng, a particularly rugged mountain peak.

There was a straight road in front of Huang Ya Dong called Weng Ge Lang, known militarily as the South Gate. The end of the road was a 20-meter-high cliff with a waterfall cascading down, forming a deep pool called "Wu Di Weng." There was a stone staircase with over 120 steps on the east side of the pool, the only path to climb from the valley floor to Huang Ya Dong.

The Huang Ya Dong area had complex terrain and a strategic location, making it easy to defend and hide, yet difficult to attack.

Not bad!

Su Yang thought silently.

As Su Yang and his team approached, they were quickly spotted by the sentries.

With Liu Jun, a 'veteran' there, Su Yang and his team were able to enter the Huang Ya Dong area smoothly.

Led by the guards, they went to the headquarters of the logistics department.

At this time.

Zhang Wan He, the director of the logistics department, was holding a meeting with other cadres, discussing the development of the arms factory, improving production capacity, research on weapons and gunpowder, and various other issues.

In order to fight the Japanese better and resist the aggressors.

Although the army's military industrial base was backward, the military industrial workers never gave up or complained, instead doing their best.

From 1939 to 1945, in a mere six years, Huang Ya Dong produced a total of 580,000 grenades, 2,500 mortars, over 260,000 mortar shells, and over 10,000 "Type 81 Ma Rifles," providing strong support to the front lines.

It was not easy to produce so many weapons and ammunition under the conditions of scarce resources, poor industrial capacity, and insufficient technology.

The hardships and efforts involved were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The meeting soon ended.

The guard then entered the conference room to inform Zhang Wan He.

Liu Jun had something to see him?

This made Zhang Wan He slightly taken aback, then he asked him to come in.

Wasn't Liu Jun responsible for the 'arms factory' in the brigade?

How could he have time to come here?

Did something happen?

As Zhang Wan He pondered, the guard led Liu Jun and Su Yang into the 'conference room'.

A simple room.

Su Yang silently observed everything, unable to believe that this was the headquarters of the army's logistics department.

It was too simple.

Zhang Wan He looked at Liu Jun and Su Yang with a puzzled expression.

"Who is this?"

Liu Jun saluted and introduced, "This is Comrade Su Yang!"

"This is Director Zhang of the logistics department."

Su Yang saluted Zhang Wan He and greeted him.

"Director Zhang, good day!"

"Comrade Su Yang, hello!" Zhang Wan He nodded slightly, asking, "What brings you two here?"

Liu Jun directly took out the smokeless gunpowder he had made.

"Director Zhang, I have something to show you!"
