Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

98 Establishing new transport lines

After breakfast, Ye Qingshan originally planned to go to the factory.

As a result, Ye Qingshan suddenly received a notice from someone from the Ye family company, informing him that the seamless steel pipes purchased by Uncle Lin had arrived.

This time, Ye Qingshan couldn't sit still anymore and went straight to the warehouse of Ye's company.

When Ye Qingshan arrived at the warehouse, he saw a new convoy of cars.

"Second Young Master!

I am Chang An, do you still remember me?"

A bearded man excitedly ran up to Ye Qingshan and introduced himself.

“Changan, I remember.

When I left home, you were still the owner of a shop in Wenzhou."

Ye Qingshan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you still remember me."

The person who came was an old man from the Ye family, and was also a close confidant who had followed Ye Dakang to conquer the world.

But at this time, Ye Qingshan was not interested in chatting with the other party. He just said a few words and rushed to the cars.

Ye Qingshan lifted the waterproof cloth and saw rows of seamless steel pipes in the carriage.

I was immediately happy.

With these seamless steel pipes, Ye Qingshan's most troublesome parts of Katyusha rocket launcher and bazooka rocket launcher can be handled.

"It must not have been easy for you to come all the way here."

Ye Qingshan turned to look at Chang An and asked.

After all, the supplies loaded on this convoy,

No matter where you put it, it will be coveted by others.

"It's okay, everything is fine on the boat.

When it came to land transportation, we encountered several checkpoints and encountered difficulties.

Our previous relationship didn't work either.

Later, we had to tell them your identity as Second Young Master and make some arrangements before they let us in."

Chang Wei said.

This time, they still took the Ye family’s previous commercial transportation route.

That's why it's so fast.

"Um,"

Ye Qingshan didn't care that Chang An used his name to open up checkpoints along the way.

It would be enough if we could deliver these supplies safely to Jinling.

Ye Qingshan knew very well what the situation was in the country at this time.

Next, Ye Qingshan asked the driver to drive the fleet to the factory to unload the goods.

Mr. Yan was also very happy when he saw the brand new seamless steel pipes being unloaded.

Immediately call the young workers to move it to the warehouse.

"Second Young Master, it's very chaotic outside right now, the Japanese are approaching Jinling from several directions.

It was not easy for our convoy to enter Jinling City this time.

The transportation line in the south of the city will probably not be used anymore."

Chang An said to Ye Qingshan.

This problem also troubles Ye Qingshan.

If Ye Qingshan wants to manufacture Katyusha rocket launchers and bazookas, he needs more than just this batch of seamless steel pipes.

The materials needed to manufacture artillery shells later are the most consumed.

But now, the Japs began to encircle Jinling City from three directions.

In this way, the Ye family’s transportation lines will soon be cut off and supplies will not be able to be transported in.

Ye Qingshan frowned, thought for a moment, and then thought of something.

He looked at Chang An and said, "The Japanese surrounded Nanjing on three sides, but they can't block the Yangtze River in the west for a while.

Is there any way at home to transport the supplies to the Jinpu Railway?"

After Chang An heard what Ye Qingshan said, he knew which route Ye Qingshan was going to take.

Chang An shook his head: "It is definitely not possible to take the Jinpu Railway.

In wartime, we probably won't be able to use that railway line.

However, I do have a way to transport the supplies to Pukou without taking the railway line.

The real problem is how to transport it across the Yangtze River.

At this time, all the ferries on the Yangtze River seemed to have been taken over by the army.

To transport supplies across the river, only you, the Second Young Master, can find a way to solve this problem."

“Okay, let me handle this problem.

The second batch of supplies will be delivered as usual.

Just take the western Pukou line, and I will arrange the crossing of the river when the time comes."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingshan made the decision.

He needs materials to make rockets.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a stable transportation line.

As for the ferry problem, Ye Qingshan also has a way to solve it. He is currently serving in the Military Police Headquarters.

Matters concerning the ferry are under the jurisdiction of the Military Police Command.

Besides, I bought so many supplies with my own money in order to make rockets to fight against the Japanese.

He wanted to see who dared to trip him up.

"Master Yan, how is your research going?"

After the seamless steel pipes were delivered, Ye Qingshan should have had the ability to mass-produce rockets.

However, now it depends on how Mr. Yan and his team conduct their research on the manufacturing process.

“We have already laid out the basic principles and manufacturing steps.

We conducted experiments today to familiarize ourselves with and summarize the process steps and to find out and fill in the gaps.

We will try to start mass production within two days.

Both of these weapons are not difficult to manufacture, but the ideas behind them are genius.

Your design drawings have been drawn up, and the machines and materials have been prepared for us.

If we still can’t make it, then our twenty-plus years of working in the arsenal will be in vain.”

Old Yan said with a smile, he had not slept all night and his eyes were bloodshot.

Although his body was very tired, Old Yan was more energetic than anyone else at this moment.

Ye Qingshan advised him to go to sleep, but he said bluntly: "Why sleep? I am old and may die at any time.

Get enough sleep then.

Every minute of life counts."

"Let's go."

Seeing this, Ye Qingshan did not persuade him any further.

Ye Qingshan is now looking forward to the factory's mass production of Katyusha rocket launchers and bazookas.

In this way, Ye Qingshan has a killer weapon to deal with the Japanese devils.

Not long after Ye Qingshan came out of the factory, he received an order from a messenger.

Ask him to attend a meeting at the Military Police Headquarters.

When Ye Qingshan hurried to the gendarmerie headquarters, the conference room was already full of officers.

"Okay, I'm calling you to an emergency meeting.

I am telling you that the Japanese invaders in the outer Jiuhua Mountain and Tangshan areas have been launching fierce attacks on our defense lines for several days.

The Jiuhua Mountain position was lost last night."

Deputy Commander Xiao presided over the meeting, and his opening remarks sparked discussion among the crowd.

The truth is, the outer positions were lost too quickly.

According to the plan for the defense of Nanjing formulated by the Supreme Command.

The National Army's hundreds of thousands of troops were going to establish three lines of defense in three directions outside the city of Nanjing.

The outermost line of defense is the area from Jiuhua Mountain to Tangshan, dozens of miles to the east.

The original plan was that the outermost line of defense would hold off the Japanese for at least half a month.

But now, they couldn’t even hold on for a week, and the most important defensive position on the periphery was lost.

"The command has issued an order to abandon the outermost line of defense and for all troops to retreat to the second line of defense.

Moreover, many troops will withdraw from the front line by then.

When passing through the urban area under your charge, you are responsible for supervising these troops.

Ye Qingshan understood that they were afraid that the retreating defeated soldiers would cause trouble, so he kept an eye on them.

“In addition, the city gates guarded by our military police are the last line of defense for Jinling.

If the second line of defense can't be held, the Japanese will attack.

It's time for you to serve your country.

After you go back, arrange your respective defense work."
