    "However, if you want to make guns, you can't use ordinary rail steel." Qin Baoshan continued: "The Zhengtai Railway has been repaired for more than 30 years. There are many kinds of rail steel, and some rail steel is of poor quality.  After picking it up, I can only melt it to make grenades, so, Brigadier Commander, I also hope to participate in this operation."

    "Really?" The brigade commander glanced at Qin Baoshan, his eyes full of deep meaning.

    You kid, are you cheating on me?  Rail steel, what quality is good or bad?  It's not good at first, okay? You want to use this name to go out to fight again!

    "I don't take part in the battle on the front line, I just follow the cavalry behind." Qin Baoshan continued: "You go up and dig the railway, and I just pick it, brigade commander, this is a major event related to the future development of our Eighth Route Army's military industry.  "

    "you promise?"

    "I promise." Qin Baoshan patted his chest.

    "Okay, let's go together." The brigade commander said: "I'm waiting for the gun you made. If the gun can't be made within a month, I'm the only one to ask!"

    The meaning in the words is clear, don't run around and fight back and forth, if you don't give me the gun, I will never end with you!

    "Yes, yes." Qin Baoshan nodded repeatedly.

    It was already night outside, and the brigade commander was busy with his affairs. He didn't stay in the base for long, so he left. When he got back to the brigade headquarters and received the news, he immediately patted the table. Li Yunlong, Qin Baoshan, you guys did a good job!

    The brigade headquarters did not receive the news in time, and it was also because of this combat mission that the brigade headquarters was also in the process of transferring, and it was precisely because they passed by during the transfer that the brigade commander came to have a look and pulled out their horses by the way.  Thinking of blocking them from attacking back, they got hundreds of extra horses!

    This is of course an unexpected harvest. How can the brigade commander pursue it? He is still waiting for Li Yunlong's cooperation. How could he have thought that they not only beat the devils, but also robbed the Jinsui Army, which is a brother army!  Is this plausible?

    No wonder Li Yunlong looked at him so frightened at that time, like a mouse seeing a cat, his eyes kept wandering, obviously restless, so there was such a ghost idea hidden in his stomach!

    At this time, if I want to contact them again and scold Li Yunlong, it is too late. The only cavalry unit of the 386 brigade has already packed up overnight and set off for the Zhengtai Railway!

    What's at the end, when the transport team, the cavalry ran in front of the whole team in a flash!

    In fact, without this incident, the Eighth Route Army would have wanted to destroy the devil's railway line a long time ago.

    The entire Taihang Mountains run through Shanxi, and the traffic is very inconvenient. As early as the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, the construction of the Zhengtai Railway was put on the agenda.

    Shanxi has coal and resources. However, Shanxi is inconvenient and there are mountains everywhere. Therefore, it is not easy to transport resources out. The Zhengtai Railway is to connect Taiyuan and Zhengding and create a traffic artery out of the province.

    However, under the circumstances at the time, the Qing government simply did not have this ability, so the Zhengtai Railway could only turn to foreign countries for help. In the end, the French took over the business, and all materials were obtained locally, passing through Jingxing, across  The alpine valley was completed and opened to traffic within three years, which is considered a miracle!

    After the Zhengtai Railway was completed, the transportation of materials was greatly facilitated, and Taiyuan became the commercial center of Shanxi. At the same time, it also created the myth of Shijiazhuang's development.

    The Zhengtai Railway has a narrow gauge of one meter, while the Jinghan Railway at that time had a standard gauge of 1.435 meters, so trains could not communicate with each other, and it was operated by the French. In this way, there were two railway stations in the local area, one is Zhengtai Station, and the other is Zhengtai Station.  It is Jinghan Station.

    Between the two stations, there is a large amount of storage and cargo transshipment needs, so Shijiazhuang developed suddenly, from a small village of less than 600 people to a medium-sized city with a population of 63,000.

    Later, Yan Xishan took control of Shanxi and built the Tongpu Railway, taking Taiyuan into it along the way. In this way, coal transportation in Datong became more convenient.

    As for now, it is cheaper for the devils. The devils use these railways to move supplies and equipment back and forth. Now, they are raising all kinds of military supplies and transfer them from North China to Shanxi. Once the supplies are sufficient, the devils will really fight a big battle.  Fight, come for crazy revenge.

    The Eighth Route Army has been planning for a long time, and until now, it is finally about to act.

    "Drive, drive, drive!" The horse galloped, feeling agitated.

    "It's strange to say that the Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway are both narrow gauge." While riding forward, Li Yunlong said: "However, this is just right. If it is a standard track, it is estimated that the devil's supplies?? was called.  "

    "Yes, there are historical reasons for the narrow-gauge railway here." Qin Baoshan also sighed.

    The track is different, which is a lot of attention. Needless to say, domestically, even on the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II, the railway tracks of the Soviet Union and the railway tracks of Germany are also different. Therefore, if the Germans want to transport supplies, the trains have to be on the platform.  Change the wheels inside.

    Either move the carriage or change the wheels, in short, you have to toss once, which is also a problem caused by different standards of rails.

    At that time, the Zhengtai Railway was built by the French. The French have always been independent. Later, Yan Xishan built the Tongpu Railway, which was also narrow gauge, so he had more considerations. He is the local emperor of Shanxi, of course.  It is no longer possible to have direct contact with the outside world, and it is common to use railroad tracks to make a fuss.

    "Lao Li doesn't understand the historical reasons. As long as there is a war, it will be done." After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Baoshan again: "By the way, when we came out, what did Instructor Wei say to you alone?  talk?"

    When Li Yunlong said this, it was meaningful. The relationship between Qin Baoshan and Wei instructor was clear in the team of the Lvmingshan guerrillas.  It's just that they are fighting now, so both of them seem to be restrained, and there are no rumors.

    Instructor Wei was transferred here to supervise Qin Baoshan and Li Yunlong, but now it seems that it has no effect. The two of them took the troops out. Instructor Wei must be dissatisfied.  To protect the safety of the base, Instructor Wei has nothing to say.

    However, when the truth of the matter comes out, instructor Wei will definitely have a strong reaction, so let's talk about it at that time.

    It would be great if Qin Baoshan took down Instructor Wei!

    "I didn't say anything." Qin Baoshan said lightly.  In his pocket, there was an extra safety talisman, which was given to him by Instructor Wei before departure.

    "Hmph, nothing?" Li Yunlong glanced at him, his eyes seemed to say, there must be something!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
