The arsenal is the lifeblood of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region. The weapons and ammunition produced in it have accounted for more than half of the trenches of the military region every day.

More importantly, this arsenal also supplies the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the other two nearest bases once a month.

Once the problem is compared, the supply of these weapons and ammunition will be interrupted, and the troops on the front line that are carrying out anti-encirclement and suppression may be in a dangerous situation of lack of guns and bullets.

Therefore, not only for the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region, but also for the entire Eighth Route Army, the arsenal is a treasure.

Why protect it? The military region not only stationed a main regiment in the arsenal to protect the safety of the arsenal at all times, but also two regiments were stationed nearby. Once the arsenal is in danger, they can send troops to reinforce at any time. In addition, the military region also strictly blocked the news about the arsenal to ensure safety.

In this case, something happened in the arsenal.

The shocked commander stood up from his seat after a quick stroke, received the telegram and began to browse.

The deputy chief of staff introduced: "A Japanese strengthened the troops of the gang avoided our sentinels and patrols and directly touched our arsenal, and then attracted the plane to launch an attack suddenly!"

"Now, this infantry brigade has been surrounded by our troops, and they are breaking through with all their might!"

"The only thing that is, when the arsenal was built, the factory was built underground based on the terrain. The Japanese air strikes did not destroy the arsenal's equipment. However, many workers and technicians from the arsenal were killed and injured during the bombing..."

"Ouyang Antong..." The commander suddenly saw these in the telegram, and then his brows frowned into a large Sichuan-shaped shape.

There are not many telegrams, so the list of casualties reported are all middle and senior staff and important technicians in the arsenal, with only five people in total, and Ouyang Antong's name happens to be among them~

Seeing the commander reacting so much! The deputy chief of staff quickly explained: "She is the technical chief engineer of the gunpowder workshop! The Japanese were about to go to the dormitory to rest from the workshop, and then be bombed..."

The commander raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Send a telegram to the arsenal immediately. I want to know the specific situation of Comrade Ouyang, whether it was sacrificed or injured, if it was injured, what was the injury... If the hospital in the military factory cannot be rescued, directly send troops to the military district hospital!"

"It's... Commander!" The deputy chief of staff quickly rushed out of the war room.

When returning to the war room, Chief of Staff

He also stood in front of the map with a heavy face.

The deputy chief of staff quickly reported: "Commander, the telegram has been sent out. I have already told the radio operator that as soon as the call from the arsenal arrives, I will send it here immediately!"

Speaking of this, the Deputy Chief of Staff hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help asking: "Commander, who is this Comrade Ouyang?"

"A very important comrade!" The commander did not explain in detail.

The political commissar next to him said, "There is nothing to hide. Let me tell you the truth. Comrade Ouyang is the first director of our arsenal and the lover of the founder of the arsenal. He even made a breakthrough in Chongqing for Comrade Ouyang. I can't believe that if Comrade Ouyang had any accidents in the arsenal, he would have made any impulsive actions that surprised us!"

What shocked the Deputy Chief of Staff the most was the first arsenal director and the arsenal founder.

You should know that the current arsenal director is the deputy director of the logistics department and a brigade-level cadre. His predecessor is at least at the deputy division level, or even the chief division level, and the same level as the commander of the military sub-district under the military region.

Before the deputy chief of staff could react from the shock, the chief of staff in front of them spoke again.

"Commander, how are the Japanese attacking the arsenal? Where are they now?"

The commander pointed to a point on the map and replied: "A whole reinforcement brigade is equipped with mortars, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and many cavalrymen, a total of about 1,500 people..."

"During the day, they had plane support, and under the encirclement of our three regiments, they moved eastward for nearly fifteen kilometers. Now that the plane has left, they directly occupied the highlands of Wangjiaao and defended them with the highlands."

"The three regiments are now besieging them. However, this group of Japanese devils is obviously the elite temporarily formed by the Japanese army. With the loss of five or six hundred people, it blocked the three main regiments' revolving attacks, and caused at least five hundred casualties to them!"

"Also, the Japanese who surrounded us obviously regarded them as bait. At least four Japanese encirclement and suppression troops around were showing signs of attacking Wangjiaao!"

The chief of staff immediately reacted: "The Japanese want to gather and annihilate the troops we are attacking..."

After saying that, the Chief of Staff proposed: "I suggest that the three regiments will kill these Japanese at all costs, which is to give the Japanese an explanation, and to Wang Ping an explanation... When he left, he repeatedly told us to take good care of Comrade Ouyang. Now, not only did he not take good care of her, but he was also attacked by the Japanese, and his life and death are unknown!"

"It seems that our military region is going to owe Wang Ping another favor!" The commander sighed and replied.

Then he ordered with a serious face: "I agree with your opinion: I will send telegrams to the three regiments now and kill these Japanese devils... Whether you want artillery or shells, the arsenal will provide all of them, and I will give them as much as you want. The battle will end before dark. Let the Japanese know that we can easily kill one of their brigades, and we will never dare to go deep into our base area in the future!"

"The chief... the arsenal is in urgent need of electricity~" the radio operator suddenly rushed into the war room and reported.

"Give it to me~" the Chief of Staff snatched the telegram.

After glanced at the content of the telegram, the tense nerves relaxed significantly.

"Fortunately~ Commander, I'm just seriously injured... I'll arrange for the arsenal to send her to the military field hospital for treatment!"

He hesitated for a moment and suggested: "I have another idea. After Comrade Ouyang recovers, he will send her to Yan'an... Isn't Yan'an asking us to draw some military cadres to support them in forming an arsenal? I think Comrade Ouyang can lead the team!"

"Yes..." The commander agreed without hesitation and then added.

"Also, such a big thing, he must know. Chief of Staff, you personally draft a telegram to send it to the Taiyue Military Region and let them inform Comrade Wang Ping!"

At the front command of the new regiment outside Xiangfen City, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.

Li Wen and Jin Kai not only successfully broke out with their troops, but also severely damaged the two Japanese infantry squadrons.

If the troops at hand are insufficient, Wang Ping really has the idea of ​​taking down the Japanese devils who have suffered heavy losses outside Xiangfen City in one go. If possible, he can also kill the Japanese Lieutenant General Division Commander.
