"Although the temporary second brigade is the third-line unit of the 15th Route Army, it is also one of the earliest units in the army.
It has two standard infantry regiments, one cavalry battalion, and an 18-gun 75th mountain artillery battalion.
In addition, the regiment headquarters each have 1 In addition, Commander Wang temporarily secured an air defense company for the second brigade."
The pace of expansion of the 15th Route Army was very fast.
Due to his performance, Zhuang Huchen was quickly promoted.
Now he is the temporary chief of staff of the 2nd Brigade and the head of the 3rd Regiment.
At this time, he was introducing Weng Zhaoyuan, who had just joined the 15th Route Army.
The situation of the 2nd brigade is temporarily compiled.
"This is not a third-line force.
Compared with when I was in the 19th Route Army, the combined firepower of the two divisions was even stronger.
And the air defense company was really effective against the Japanese aircraft during the last Songhu War.
Jiang Wenhao’s fourth mixed brigade doesn’t have air defense troops yet, right?”
Weng Zhaoyuan gave a wry smile, and then became more interested in the air defense unit of the 15th Route Army.
His military career was extremely rich.
Starting from the 1917 French Defense War, he rose from a soldier to squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, Up to the brigade commander, detachment commander and lieutenant general commander.
He graduated from the Japanese Military Academy in 1929, then went to France to study advanced aviation technology, and successfully graduated from the Maulena Aviation School in 1930.
He is no stranger to airplanes because he is an excellent pilot.
"It is said to be a third-line army, but in fact some artillery was temporarily recruited from other troops and was won in several battles.
The consumption of the 15th Route Army is not small."
Zhuang Huchen said.
"Transfer from other troops.
I'm not afraid that other division and brigade commanders will cause trouble."
Hearing this message.
Weng Zhaoyuan was even more surprised to hear that the 15th Route Army had established a formal air defense force.
This is tantamount to directly weakening the strength of the brigade commander of the real power division.
It is definitely difficult to implement in other places in the Republic of China.
"Of course there are some complaints, but the 15th Route Army started out fighting the Japanese.
The commander will naturally deploy the most capable troops to the battlefield.
In addition, the Fengtian Arsenal has been rebuilt in Lanzhou, and new ordnance will soon be added to the troops."
Zhuang Huchen said with a smile, as someone who came down from the battlefield against Japan.
Zhuang Huchen did not reject Weng Zhaoyuan, a general who dared to fight the Japanese army.
The two rode horses for another section of the dirt road.
In front of them was a spacious concrete road, on which trucks loaded with goods could be seen passing by from time to time.
Transport trucks naturally exist in Shanghai, but the further inland you go, the rarer and rarer these precious things are.
After passing Luoyang and then passing through Xi'an, they are almost extinct.
Unexpectedly, they have not reached Lanzhou city yet.
To be able to see so much, the tractors that could carry cargo in the wild were considered to be driving for him.
I had only seen that thing before in France, and it was extremely rare even in Japan.
After all, tractors are expensive, so rich people will buy cars, but poor people cannot afford them.
The spacious road leads to a factory gate that covers an area of thousands of acres and is surrounded by walls.
Brand-new trucks are driving out of it one after another.
"It's not bad.
It's not much different from the truck I bought."
Jiang Li drove the truck around the open space in the factory under the surprised eyes of his subordinates.
The most ordinary truck of this kind was naturally not a problem for him.

He opened the door and jumped out.
He smiled at the factory director Yang Ming who had been waiting for a short time.
Zhuang Huchen had already walked over with Weng Zhaoyuan at the door.
"Commander" Zhuang Huchen gave Jiang Li a military salute and said, "Brigade Commander Weng has brought you the humble duty."
"Commander Jiang."
When Weng Zhaoyuan saw Jiang Li, he was surprised at first, and then quickly gave a military salute.
Judging from the age of the other person, he was much younger than him.
It was hard to imagine that a young man in his twenties could actually do this.
In a dangerous situation like the Japanese invasion of Fengtian City, he broke out and achieved amazing results that shocked the whole world.
"Well, Brigadier Weng, Jiang Wenhao was full of praise for the military talent he showed in the Battle of Songhu.
Not many people can say good things about that guy.
The Nineteenth Route Army was able to rise up in the face of the Japanese army.
It's just right.
We share the same goals with our 15th Route Army.”
Jiang Li smiled kindly when he saw Weng Zhaoyuan, who was upright and in his prime and energetic than ordinary people.
It was precisely because of his outstanding command on the battlefield during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War last year that he was favored by Jiang Li.
After the Songhu War ended, Nanjing transferred Weng Zhaoyuan to suppress the Communists.
Weng Zhaoyuan was unwilling to go and was dismissed from his post by Nanjing.
He was even suspected of being with the Communists.
The party had collusion, so Jiang Li took action at the right time and invited him to Lanzhou.
"It's nothing compared to the commander's deeds in the Fengtian battle."
Weng Zhaoyuan said without any complacency.
"The situation is different.
The speed of Japan's troop projection in Shanghai is several times that of Fengtian.
Naval artillery and aircraft can reach the Songhu battlefield directly.
The weather and location are not in the hands of our army.
It is already good to achieve that result."
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "This I came here to invite Liu Zhanxiong, but Liu Zhanxiong now has another place in the 19th Route Army, so I can only regret that Brigadier Weng came at the right time.
Today is the day when the first transport truck in the northwest rolls off the production line. .
This is also the first self-produced truck in the Republic of China.”
"Lanzhou can now produce its own transport trucks."
Weng Zhaoyuan opened his mouth wide.
He only knew that foreigners produced trucks and cars.
Even bicycles in the Republic of China mostly bought spare parts from foreigners and assembled them by themselves.
Moreover, bicycles can basically only be assembled in big cities like Shanghai and Wuhan.
Even in ordinary counties, there are not many people who can afford to ride bicycles.
As for this place in the northwest, I can only use the word "haha" to describe it, but Weng Zhaoyuan never dared to think that Lanzhou could produce trucks by itself at this time.
"This car factory alone and the supporting parts factory cost more than nine million U.S. dollars in total.
To build this expensive thing, the core engine was imported from the United States.
Although I also built the engine myself, Factory, but the progress there is not as fast as here, but it can basically be regarded as self-produced, and the engine factory will be able to produce supporting engines next month.”
Jiang Li patted the big guy next to him and smiled heartily.
There is nothing happier than seeing the gradual development of industrial civilization in Lanzhou, which has nothing.
Although it has been simplified in some aspects to save processes and looks a bit rough, the actual performance has not had much impact, but has improved production efficiency.
Moreover, the gasoline used in transport trucks and the lubricating oil required for parts are also produced by Yanchang Oil Factory.
All in all, the self-production of this truck is quite high
