It was another thousands of miles away, and the villages along the way were much different from Fengtian in the past.
Large areas of desolate white land were full of yellow sand, and there were even few trees.
"It's hard to imagine that the commander can pull up such a large army in such a place."
Li Du said with emotion, "When the commander withdrew from Fengtian City, we still occupied the majority of Jilin and Heilongjiang.
Although the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang are not wealthy, the current situation looks much better than that of the northwest. " Ma Zhanshan nodded and agreed with Li Du's statement.
In fact, even though he had never mentioned it to anyone, he was a bit resentful of Jiang Li's initiative to evacuate Fengtian.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that when the anti-Japanese coalition forces evacuated Fengtian We have not yet reached the point where we are at the end of our rope, and the cold winter that is extremely unfavorable to the Japanese army has only passed halfway.
If Jiang Lin could have stayed in Fengtian, or led them in Jilin and Heilongjiang to continue the resistance against Japan, the Northeast would have been in a different situation at this time, at least it would not have fallen so quickly.
As the team entered a small county several hundred miles away from Lanzhou, the desolate scene in the northwest came to an end.
A cement road that traversed the entire county lay in front of them, and the horses' hooves made a crisp sound on the cement road.
Amidst the sharp sound of air horns, several cars and a group of transport trucks slowly came forward.
When they stopped about ten meters away, the black car at the head of the car stopped.
When the car door opened, a familiar smiling face appeared inside, "Old friend, we can fight side by side again in the future."
Those who got off the bus were Feng Zhanhai, Zhang Zhibang, Wang Tiehan, Zhao Yi and others.
The leader, Feng Zhanhai, had a smile on his face with emotion.
"Brother Shoushan, I haven't seen you in the past two years.
You are getting more and more energetic."
Li Du perked up when he saw Feng Zhanhai.
He and Feng Zhanhai were the first to partner up, and the relationship between them was also the strongest.
If it hadn't been for Fengtian later, After parting ways, I'm afraid they are still a golden couple now.
"The situation in the northwest is getting better and better now.
We fought two decent battles with the Japanese army in a row.
Chief of Staff Feng is naturally in good spirits."
Zhao Yi laughed when he heard this, "Get in the car, everyone.
The cars and trucks we welcome today are awesome.
They are all produced in our factory.”
"What, I thought they were some foreign stuff.
These cars are all made in our own factory."
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Ma Zhanshan, Xing Zhanqing, and others were all shocked.
In the past, the Northeast Army's wealth was all over the country.
They are among the top one or two.
Even if they are not direct descendants of the Northeastern Army, they are no strangers to foreign things like cars and trucks.
But none of them are produced in the Northeast's own factories.
Now it is suddenly heard that the Northwest, which is far poorer and backward than the Northeast, can produce cars and trucks on its own.
How can people not be surprised?
After Zhao Yi's reminder, Li Du and other talents looked at the car, and the words "Lanzhou" were prominently printed on the card.
"I don't have time to tell you a joke.
Let's go, the commander is waiting.
Close your mouths now, so as not to stay open and open them wider."
Wang Tiehan smiled mysteriously, Li Du, Ma Zhanshan and others quickly asked, but Wang Tiehan just kept silent.
The more artificial Wang Tiehan is, Li Du.
Ma Zhanshan, Xing Zhanqing and others felt more and more like cats scratching their heads.
However, there was nothing they could do without the other party telling them.
The group of people got into their cars, and the soldiers they brought also got into the transport truck, and the soldiers were pulled directly to a nearby military camp.
Ma Zhanshan and others took another path.

"Hey.
Rongji Cotton Clothing Factory, I've seen it in Fengtian City before."
Li Du said with interest through the car window.
"There were many Fengtian industrial factories that moved westward with the commander, and most of them helped each other and took root in the northwest.
When you go to Lanzhou, you will see more factories originally opened in Fengtian.
I thought it was the second one.
Where is Fengtian City?"
Wang Tiehan turned around from the front seat and said.
The 7th Brigade he was originally in was stationed in the North Camp of Fengtian City.
In terms of familiarity with Fengtian City, no one here is more familiar than him.
"Really?
I'm really looking forward to this trip to Lanzhou."
Ma Zhanshan said with great interest.
When we meet again after a long absence, especially after a long battle, there are always endless things to say after comrades who may die at any time, making the distance of dozens of kilometers quickly passed in conversation.
The car drove through another county town, and then walked onto a fork in the road that was heavily guarded.
Ordinary vehicles could not pass through the layers of guard posts.
"Where are we going?"
Xing Zhanqing asked curiously.
"You will know when we get there.
The commander is waiting for us there.
That is the important future development direction of our Army of the Republic of China."
Wang Tiehan said with a smile.
The car drove for more than ten miles and saw several factories covering a large area one after another, all surrounded by long walls.
The innermost factory didn't even have a name.
After the car was inspected, it drove in Inside the wall, I saw a few large characters on a huge stone facing me.
Li Du had the same reaction as Sun Liren who had entered earlier.
He exclaimed with surprise on his face, "Northwestern Chariot Factory" "Yes, it is the Northwest Tank Factory.
This will be the birthplace of tanks and armored vehicles after the Republic of China."
Jiang Li was standing in front of a dark steel vehicle with an iron pimple tower short-barreled artillery.
There were also two other places.
Machine gun muzzle.
Next to Jiang Li, there were Tang Shijian, Tian Jianlong, and Sun Li.
Tang Shijian was looking at the two steel monsters in front of him with a strange look at this time.
"This is the first tank that we have cooperated with German technicians and is completely produced in the northwest.
It is a 47-gun type.
The machine gun type will be produced in about three days."
"After discussions with German technicians, this tank was named Avenger.
Germany wanted to avenge the European War, while we wanted to avenge the deep hatred of being oppressed by the Japanese invaders for decades."
Tang Shijian said excitedly.
Introducing the data of this tank, he said, " This is a brand-new tank with a length of 498 meters, a width and height of 262 and 226 meters respectively.
It weighs 97 tons and uses a 6-cylinder air-cooled 154-horsepower gasoline engine provided by Mercedes-Benz. 6 tons The tank's power is 40 horsepower higher than that of the Vickers 6-ton tank, but the engine power is also nearly half higher, so the speed between the track width and the road wheels has been modified.
After designing, paving the road The maximum speed reaches 32 kilometers per hour, which is slightly inferior to the Vicker Tank currently in service in the 15th Route Army, but its off-road performance is even better, with an operating distance of 180 kilometers on paved roads and an increase of 120 kilometers
