I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Feng tried hard to act a little drunk.

"Mr. Zhang, don't refuse anymore. What we are doing is helping each other. You have given me enough face by trusting me and our Yimeng guerrillas. You can build the factory with confidence. Even if the Japanese get the news, they won't dare to do anything. After the factory is built, I will send a clear message. Whoever has a problem with the factory in the Yimeng Mountains is having a problem with me. I will beat him so hard that his father won't recognize him. If anyone causes any damage to the factory, I will personally bring a sniper rifle to talk to him and see who is harder, his head or my bullet."

Zhang Qiheng smiled and narrowed his eyes. The eldest and second oldest brothers looked excited. Zhang Shiyin's face was full of admiration and her eyes were full of stars. Others might say this was bragging, but Leng Qiang was trustworthy.

What satisfied Zhang Qiheng was that he saw that Leng Qiang was a man of temperament. He did not have the arrogance and dictatorship of those warlords. He did not shout many slogans and was a person who really wanted to revitalize the industry.

"Come, Mr. Zhang, gentlemen and ladies, let's have another drink. We brought back hundreds of machines and equipment from Qingdao last time. You can use those that can be used, and study those that cannot be used. They will just rust here, so it would be nice if they can make some use of their remaining energy in your hands."

Zhang Qiheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Without saying anything, all the uneasiness in his heart disappeared. People who do great things never care about trivial matters. Even when he was old, he actually had the urge to die for his friend.

"Captain Cold Gun, ~".

"Mr. Zhang, my last name is Chen. Don't call me captain all the time. You are a senior veteran, so just call me Xiao Chen."

The eldest, the second and the third brother all opened their eyes wide with a look of disbelief. This was too much of an honor. They had known that Leng Qiang's name had always been a mystery. Today, he was revealed to them, perhaps to reassure themselves, but it was also a kind of respect, wasn't it?

"Please keep it confidential, it is not time to make it public yet."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen. We come from a business background and we are very careful about what we say. We would never dare to leak it."

The eldest, the second and the third brother were all speechless. Their father was also drunk and was calling each other brothers. What were we supposed to do? Should we call him uncle?

"Mr. Zhang, don't put down your chopsticks. We are sorry for the poor hospitality. You must eat your fill. The same goes for my three brothers and sisters. Mr. Zhang, let's discuss the location of the factory first! Do you have any ideas before?"

Zhang Qiheng put down his chopsticks:

"What we can do for now is reeling silk, spinning yarn, spinning cotton, spinning linen, and weaving and dyeing cloth. Machines are just the most basic requirement. You can take care of the safety in the end. The place we choose should preferably have coal and labor support, and it should also have convenient transportation."

Chen Feng also put down his chopsticks. From a safety perspective, the best locations are the three county towns of Pingyi, Mengyin and Yishui. There is no need to worry about the labor force, as long as the money is in place, there are plenty of workers. However, transportation to the three county towns is a big problem. The only larger cities that currently occupy the area are Linyi and Zibo. However, Zibo is also involved in the Jiqing railway line, and there is a high possibility that there will be competition between the two cities. Therefore, the most suitable city to build a factory is Linyi. As an important city in southern Shandong, Linyi's advantages are very obvious.

"Mr. Zhang, how about Linyi?"

Zhang Qiheng nodded:

"Linyi is indeed a great place to build a factory, but it's too far away from the Japanese invaders~"?

"Don't worry about this, the Japanese will never cross the Longhai Line again."

Everything has been settled. The Zhang family didn't expect it to be so smooth, and there was surprise in their eyes.

"Brother Chen, we were able to escape from the jaws of death this time thanks to the help of the Tiger Regiment Special Forces. We offered them some compensation but were rejected. The thing is, although my family doesn't have much wealth, we still want to donate some to the team to buy guns and cannons to fight the Japanese. Enlong, please open the suitcase!"

Zhang Enlong was carrying a leather suitcase that had been placed next to his legs. Hearing what was said, he cleaned up the table. The two brothers worked together to lift the suitcase onto the table and opened the box. They saw a box of neatly arranged large yellow croakers, which contained no less than a hundred pieces.

"Brother Chen, the money is not much, it represents a little thought from our Zhang family. You may not know, but every time we heard that you won a battle, we were so happy that we wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate, but we were afraid that the Japanese would arrest us, so we could only organize a big meal for all the workers. We didn't tell you the reason, but everyone understood."

"Mr. Zhang, we cannot accept the money. There is no shortage of weapons and ammunition on the mountain. The Japanese ones have been eliminated, and now we are using German and American products. We also have a research and development and manufacturing center on the mountain. We have everything. You should have heard that Chongqing always rewards us with some dollars. You are going to open a factory now, so you should use the good steel on the blade first. But I will accept your loyalty on behalf of my brothers."

The two men declined for a while, but seeing that Chen Feng really did not want to accept it, Zhang Qiheng signaled his son to take it. He was even more satisfied with Chen Feng. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, and did not have the violent and dictatorial nature of ordinary warlords. He was not greedy for money. Such a person must have great ambitions.

After the banquet, Chen Feng and the Zhang family discussed the specific operational details. The Zhang family could hire guerrillas who had been discharged due to injuries to protect themselves. These retired personnel would escort the four members of the Zhang family to Linyi to select a site. Their families could be arranged in Dawa first, and a factory would be built after the site was selected. When everything was ready, the Yimeng guerrilla transport team would escort the machinery and equipment and the Zhang family members.

Both parties were very satisfied. On one side was a patriotic entrepreneur, and on the other side was an elite team fighting the Japanese invaders. The desired goal was achieved naturally. After Yan Jiaming arranged for his family, the guard team and Zhang's father and son set off. Chen Feng arranged for Li Yunyan to generate electricity for the second and third regiments. The garrison troops in Linyi fully supported and protected the Zhang family's factory construction.

After arranging the Zhang family's factory construction, before Chen Feng could come to his senses, a telegram made Chen Feng's heart surge.

On July 1940, 7, Chongqing sent a telegram to inform that a special team had returned with the two special operations platoons that escorted penicillin. Singaporean Chinese Tan Kah Kee and his entourage, who had just visited Chongqing and Yan'an, turned around and asked to visit Leng Qiang in the Yimeng Mountains, wanting to meet the anti-Japanese legend Leng Qiang.

Chongqing could not refuse, so it summoned the two most powerful special operations elite platoons of the Fifth War Zone, led by Major General Liu Lihui, the current commander of the Fifth War Zone's Guard Brigade, and formed a joint combat team together with the two special operations platoons of the Yimeng guerrillas that escorted penicillin to escort Chen Jiageng and his four companions to visit Mount Mengshan.

After reading the top-secret telegram, Chen Feng tried hard to recall the contents of the elementary or junior high school textbooks which seemed long ago, and there was a hint of anticipation on his face. Li Yunyan didn't quite understand why the captain reacted so strongly, they were just a few patriotic overseas Chinese.

"Yunyan, does this mean they have already set off?"

"Captain, they were worried about our whereabouts being leaked. When the secret message was sent, the team had already entered the Dabie Mountains. With Liu Lihui's command ability, the Fifth War Zone and our four elite special operations platoons, nothing should go wrong after entering the Dabie Mountains."
