Chapter 520: Annihilation of the New 5th Army (1)
There is a thing in this world called talent.
Many people have a bad attitude because they believe that all beings are equal.
In fact, all living beings are not equal at all.
When doing the same thing, the gap between a person without talent and a person with talent is huge!
Zhang Xinwen, a worker at Bin County General Machinery Factory, is a talented person, and his talent is machinery manufacturing!
In just one month, he jumped three levels from an ordinary worker to Class A!
When Zhang Xinwen was young, he could easily disassemble the bicycle at home and reassemble it, and it would work just as well as before, demonstrating hands-on skills that far exceeded those of his peers.
Whenever he saw a new mechanical device, he could always quickly understand its working principle and even point out possible improvements. When learning mechanical knowledge, he had a photographic memory, and those obscure principles were like a clear blueprint in his mind.
Zhang Xinwen’s workshop is Agricultural Machinery Workshop No. 3, which mainly produces agricultural machinery and combine harvesters!
As the son of a landlord who once owned more than 500 acres of land, he immediately determined that this thing had unlimited potential!
The entire Bin County General Machinery Factory was born out of the Arsenal. The Arsenal also undertook some mechanical processing tasks in the beginning, but Yin Xinjun felt that the Arsenal should not disperse too much energy, so he transferred a group of personnel from the Arsenal to establish this general machinery factory to process and produce some mechanical equipment urgently needed in society!
The factory building of Bin County General Machinery Factory is divided into three areas: agricultural machinery, engineering machinery, and processing area!
Agricultural machinery products include plows, harvesters, and seeders; engineering machinery products include excavators, rollers, bulldozers, concrete mixing stations, etc.!
The processing area temporarily undertakes the tasks arranged by the Supply and Marketing Bureau. Last year, they undertook the task of processing equipment for the refinery! This also caused the production of other products to stop!
Zhang Xinwen is in charge of a team with more than a dozen subordinates, who process transmission parts of combine harvesters in workshop No. 3 in the agricultural machinery area, including drive shafts, couplings, transmissions, pulleys, chains, etc.
Under his leadership, the entire team's work efficiency is very high, and they can even process two sets of transmission devices every day! This is much faster than other teams, because the current production of combine harvesters is only one every three days!
However, the bottleneck that currently affects factory delivery is mainly with diesel engines, but the engines are not produced in the factory!
Zhang Xinwen was looking carefully at a book in his hand called "Mechanics", which was a college textbook that he had asked someone to buy from Harbin!
As time went by, the team became more and more skilled at their work, and their speed became faster and faster. It was only a little after noon, and today's work was already finished!
The workshop director Tong Qing also asked them to slow down the production speed and just make one set a day. No matter how many transmission devices were produced, they would not be used. Anyway, the salary would be the same no matter how much work they did!
At this time, a clear voice shouted,
"Masters, please stop for a moment. The factory has issued holiday bonuses!"
The person who spoke was Zhu Yuyun from the workshop office. She was holding a notebook and a paper bag full of banknotes!
Today is New Year's Day. According to the regulations of the SAR government, all state-owned enterprises must give holiday bonuses to employees, 500 Northeast RMB per person!
However, as the Mulan Special Zone began to supply large quantities of materials to the liberated areas in the Northeast, the purchasing power of the Northeast currency has been rising. These 500 Northeast currencies can already buy 25 kilograms of meat!
Unlike the other people in the group who were cheering and jumping for joy,
Zhang Xinwen took the money and put it into his pocket without any care, and continued reading his "Mechanics". For him, nothing is more important than studying!
Xinmin County, Wentai Village,
In the snow,
Behind a ridge,
Hu Shaoguang, the machine gunner of the fourth company, was shivering with cold. He stuffed another piece of milk biscuit into his mouth.
The whole battalion has been lying in ambush here for an hour.
But the enemy hasn't appeared yet!
This made Hu Shaoguang feel very dissatisfied!
Deputy shooter Wang Yu couldn't help but ask,
"Lao Hu, I feel like my legs are numb from the cold!"
There was a burst of gunfire on the road ahead.
Several cavalrymen ran over and gestured. They were soldiers from the regiment's reconnaissance company.
Hu Shaoguang immediately put his finger on the trigger.
"coming!"
After a while, a group of black shadows appeared on the road, led by a few horse-drawn sleighs!
The sound of "da da da" continued to come from the sled.
The bullet whizzed through the air!
"Be careful to hide!" Hu Shaoguang ordered!
Due to the thick snow, the sled was not moving very fast and it was wobbly and took a long time to reach the ambush circle.
A gunshot rang out.
Hu Shaoguang immediately pulled the trigger, and a string of bullets flew out from the muzzle, dragging a long trail and flying towards a sled!
On the sled, several Kuomintang soldiers covered their chests and fell down with their heads raised!
Amid the sound of gunfire, the enemy's vanguard was quickly wiped out!
The battle is over,
Hu Shaoguang hurriedly took out half a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth!
A long stream of white smoke came out of his mouth.
While hiding, according to combat discipline, he was not allowed to move or smoke, which made him feel suffocated.
Now, the entire battlefield is filled with smoke and everyone is puffing out smoke!
54th Regiment Headquarters,
Guo Qiang said somewhat depressedly,
"This battle is so frustrating. The artillery regiment in the division is unable to provide fire support because they are afraid of scaring the enemy away!"
Lin Tao smiled.
"The 105mm howitzer used to be the standard firepower of the artillery regiment directly under the column. Now, our 18th Division has six 105mm howitzers in the first batch. If the enemy determines that there is a column ahead, there are two possibilities. One is to do whatever it takes and send the entire army to fight us, and the other is to stay put and wait for reinforcements. The superiors will definitely not dare to take risks. After all, we have no precedent in the Northeast to annihilate an entire army at once!"
Ji Yuan also said,
"Especially the New Fifth Army, which is Chen Cheng's direct line and is equipped with American weapons, although its combat effectiveness is average!"
At the Wentai Village position,
Suddenly, clouds of smoke rose up, and shells whistled like demons, hitting houses and streets. In an instant, adobe walls collapsed, tiles flew, and wooden doors and windows were blown to pieces and scattered in the air.
The streets of the village were filled with flying dust, rocks, and wood chips. Huge holes were blown out of the ground, like ferocious mouths that wanted to swallow everything.
Hearing the sound of artillery fire, Guo Qiang and the other two all came out. They looked at the devastated village with some worry. That was the position of the Sixth Company!
"Captain, it's a good thing we evacuated the command post. From the looks of it, it looks like the enemy has mobilized at least one division's worth of artillery!"
"Chief of Staff, pass on my order. After the Second Battalion repel the enemy's new attack, it will retreat immediately. In the next stage, the First Battalion will be responsible for sniping!" Guo Qiang ordered!
