County Brigade Captain?
Su Yang?
A new recruit who has been in the army for less than half a year?!
This… refreshed the Deputy Chief of Staff's understanding.
“I never thought we’d be able to recruit such a talent, this is a blessing for our army~~~”
“But how can a new recruit be in the Logistics Department, and even create such a cannon in the munitions factory, did you allow it?”
“If that’s the case, the security of the munitions factory really needs to be strengthened.”
Zhang Wanhe knew what the Deputy Chief of Staff meant, and he smiled and explained, “Chief, here’s how it is.”
“Comrade Su Yang came to the Logistics Department because he developed smokeless gunpowder, and under the confirmation of Military Engineer Liu Jun, he was brought here.”
“The goal is to solve the problem of smokeless gunpowder production.”
“As for Su Yang’s identity, there won’t be any problems, the 772nd Regiment has conducted a special investigation on Comrade Su Yang.”
Hearing that Su Yang had also researched smokeless gunpowder, the Deputy Chief of Staff was instantly agitated.
This was even more shocking than the news of the Flying Thunder Cannon.
After all, the biggest problem of our army is the inability to produce smokeless gunpowder.
This has resulted in the use of black powder bullets with insufficient power, affecting the shooter's vision… etc., leading to unnecessary and helpless casualties.
This has always been a headache for the Deputy Chief of Staff and others.
Unexpectedly, someone secretly solved it???
“Old Zhang, are you sure this Su Yang developed smokeless gunpowder?”
“Where did you get the equipment?”
“What’s going on here?”
Zhang Wanhe looked at the excited Deputy Chief of Staff with a smile, and nodded seriously: “Comrade Liu Jun has already confirmed this, and he participated in it.”
“There’s no mistake!”
“As for the equipment, well, that’s a long story.”
“Simply put, it’s using makeshift methods to solve the equipment problem. This is what distinguishes Comrade Su Yang from other military engineers.”
“He is always able to combine actual conditions to come up with solutions.”
“By my calculations, the smokeless gunpowder factory should be almost finished.”
Make-shift methods to solve equipment problems?
This…
The Deputy Chief of Staff couldn’t comprehend it for a moment.
He couldn't figure out how this was solved.
However, since Zhang Wanhe said so, there must be no problem.
He just didn’t expect that Zhang Wanhe had already built a factory.
Liu Jun also participated in the manufacturing, which means that Su Yang had completed the manufacturing of smokeless gunpowder before he arrived?
Where was it completed?
The County Brigade base?
How is that possible in such an environment?
Everything was too unbelievable.
However, the Deputy Chief of Staff was also a person who had been through the storms and waves, and after a while, he calmed down.
“From what you said, I’m really interested in meeting this Comrade Su Yang.”
“However, the Deputy Commander is not in the command post right now, and I can't go there for the time being.”
Zhang Wanhe nodded: “Chief, I think it’s like this, such a military engineering talent should be able to make the best use of his abilities, the munitions factory needs this kind of talent.”
“What do you think about transferring him to the munitions factory to work as a technical researcher?”
The Deputy Chief of Staff smiled and said: “I don’t know much about the details, so I won’t jump to conclusions.”
“You should first ask Comrade Su Yang for his own opinion before making a decision.”
“After all, this is a rare talent, and he should be given enough respect.”
Zhang Wanhe knew the Deputy Chief of Staff’s principles of using people and wouldn't force anyone.
Especially a talent as valuable as Su Yang.
“Alright, I understand～”
The Deputy Chief of Staff: “Alright, alright～”
“If there are any results on the smokeless gunpowder, send someone to report it immediately.”
“Yes!” Zhang Wanhe saluted.
“I’ll go back now～”
......
With the Deputy Chief of Staff's orders issued.
Each division received a telegram from headquarters.
The 18th Group Army has three divisions, namely the 115th Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division.
Each division has three regiments.
Of course, these are the troops that have been recognized by the National Government, and they can receive initial military funding from the National Government.
Other divisions, or independent regiments, county brigades, militia teams, etc., are self-funded by our army.
Due to financial constraints, many are usually paid in millet or other grains instead of military pay.
At the same time, telegrams can only reach the regiment level.
Anything below that can only be notified by manpower.
At this time, in the various division headquarters, the division commanders, staff officers, and political commissars were all stunned when they saw the order from headquarters.
Collect gasoline drums?!
Regardless of size, and military engineers and artillerymen need to be sent to the Logistics Department to learn how to make cannons and fire them?
This…
Although each division headquarters or regiment headquarters has some military engineers, they can only maintain weapons like guns.
Make cannons?
Isn’t headquarters making things difficult for us?
However, when they saw the last part of the telegram, the division commanders, staff officers, political commissars, and others were all agitated.
This will solve the problem of our army's lack of artillery fire.
Such a temptation, how could everyone resist.
They immediately began to pass down the order to collect gasoline drums to the next level.
As the order was passed down.
An unbelievable scene emerged.
All gasoline drums were collected by our army soldiers in various ways.
In order to obtain gasoline drums, they even attacked the enemy's strongholds or transportation teams.
The flames of war were ignited!
And the 'culprit' of all this, Su Yang, was currently overseeing the production of smokeless gunpowder.
