Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 519 Yu Ye: Come, give the little devil a big one

At this time, the entire Jin area and even the entire northern China were plunged into great chaos.

Just as Ping'an County was the hub that stirred up the war in the entire Jin area before, Taiyuan City at this time was the core that stirred up the war in the entire northern country.

To put it bluntly, because the independent regiment attacked Taiyuan City as the vanguard, a violent storm suddenly blew up in the north, which had been like a stagnant pool of water.

At this time, not only our Jin headquarters was paying attention to the progress of the siege. Old Yan would look for his staff almost every fifteen minutes to learn about the latest progress of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Taiyuan. There were also many follow-up and even secret telegrams from the southwest to inform the surrounding Kuomintang troops to advance towards Taiyuan, ready to reap the fruits of victory at any time.

Not only the military or various forces were paying attention, the news of the vigorous attack on Taiyuan had been exaggerated by various media and then publicized throughout China.

In addition, with the previous victories of the Independent Regiment as a prelude, almost all the people who care about the country are looking forward to the complete victory of this siege.

......

Compared with the vigorous siege of Taiyuan City, Yu Ye's return to Ping'an County from Yukou Coal Mine was very low-key, because people engaged in military industry do not need such vigorous and spectacular things. All they need are parts with qualified quality and stable performance, groups of absolutely reliable data, and explosions with larger and more controllable equivalents.

For the industry, as long as they know that all kinds of weapons they designed and led the production can be used on the battlefield against the Japanese and can reap the lives of the Japanese, they will be considered successful.

"Hey, teacher, why are you back? I heard that the fighting in Taiyuan City is very intense."

As the person in charge of Ping'an Industrial Zone, Guo Shoujue met Yu Ye outside Ping'an County and asked him about the doubts he had been having since he received the news.

"What? Can I still carry a gun and a cannon and go into battle to kill the enemy or something?"

Yu Ye glanced at his student.

"My battlefield is still in our Liaoyuan Arsenal and Ping'an Industrial Zone. By the way, how is the current production situation?"

"Teacher, we are working overtime now. Now there is a dog in our industrial zone and we want to bring it in to help us operate the assembly line."

It was obvious that Guo Shoujue's face was full of fatigue. It was obvious that the non-stop production in the past few days was really exhausting for him.

"Hahaha, we still need to ensure security and confidentiality."

Yu Ye reminded.

Now the 772nd Regiment escorted Yu Ye back and immediately began to take charge of the outer perimeter security work. The interior of the industrial zone was patrolled by previously trained elite forces to ensure safety.

At this juncture, it is not just the Japanese who are coveting the Ping'an Industrial Zone. It is hard to say that other forces do not have some ideas.

“Apart from the lack of manpower, are there any other problems during the production process?”

"Teacher, we may not have enough raw materials. According to the current production capacity, cotton may only last for 7 days. Steel and copper are sometimes in short supply even though Changzhi Iron and Steel Plant and Bizigou Copper Mine are working overtime and at full capacity. We are really stretched to the limit.

Some other materials are also in short supply. This is the list I just compiled this morning. Would you like to take a look at it first?"

As he spoke, Guo Shoujue handed over a piece of paper and Yu Ye took it.

"Nitric acid inventory is 11 days, coal inventory is 22 days, mercury inventory is 5 days..."

Looking at this list, Yu Ye also had a bit of a headache. According to the previous management regulations of Liaoyuan Arsenal, these bulk raw materials needed to have at least 3 months of normal inventory.

However, in order to prepare for the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and then the siege of Taiyuan, the entire Liaoyuan Arsenal was operating at almost full capacity. People rested but the machines did not, and the lights did not stop. Production was going on every moment, and during this period, almost all the raw materials that could be collected were consumed.

Judging from the scale of the future Chinese military industry, the production capacity of the Liaoyuan Arsenal was not large at all, and it could even be considered a small arsenal. However, even such an arsenal demonstrated its strong industrial strength, giving off a feeling of a terrifying behemoth that devoured all kinds of raw materials.

"I don't have any good solution for the shortage of these raw materials for now, but you have to believe that we will win this war before you use up all these raw materials."

Yu Ye handed the list back to Guo Shoujue.

Guo Shoujue took the list. Although he didn't know where the teacher's judgment came from, he believed that since the teacher said so, it would definitely be realized.

After such a long time, the entire Liaoyuan Arsenal has an almost blind trust in the industry.

"In order to quickly end this battle, I think we have to give the Japanese a big blow. Go, call Chen Kan and Li Junhua to me. Oh, and call Li Zhengang as well."

Yu Ye waved his hand and walked towards a factory at the edge of the industrial zone.

This factory is located close to the edge of Ping'an Industrial Zone and is usually inconspicuous. However, Guo Shoujue, as the person in charge of Ping'an Industrial Zone, knows that this factory is very unusual and has an extremely high level of confidentiality.

Apart from the workers who had been inside, only a few people including Guo Shoujue, Li Junhua and Shu Dalin were allowed to enter. No one else, including Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, was allowed to enter.

"Chen Kan, how is the pure alcohol I asked you to prepare? And the liquid oxygen I asked you to prepare before."

Yu Ye did not go to the assembly workshop first, but went directly to the laboratory to start looking through the daily work records. At the same time, he asked Chen Kan who had hurried over.

"Everything has been prepared. I have prepared 3 tons of alcohol and tons of liquid oxygen."

Chen Kan wiped the sweat off his forehead and spoke seriously.

"You got three tons of liquid oxygen? What did you use to store it?"

Chen Kan's words completely confused Yu Ye. He didn't expect that there were so many things.

Hearing the teacher's question, Chen Kan said with a pained face: "There was no supply of special steel, so I had no choice but to modify a reactor. Zhengang spent a lot of effort to process it."

"Huh? Zhengang, you're pretty quick. In addition to being able to finish that big iron shell, can you also do this job?" Yu Ye looked at Li Zhengang with some surprise.

“It’s all thanks to the good teachers. I have some small experience in metallurgy and equipment steel manufacturing.”

Li Zhengang said with a smile.

"Okay then, let's go and see the iron shell you made, and prepare to give the Japs a big slap!"

Yu Ye waved his hand and led a few people towards the assembly workshop.
