Chapter 280: New Year's Day, a Bustling Base
After hearing Gaoda's words, Meng Debiao, Qi Tongwei and others nodded deeply in agreement.
Qi Tongwei said: "Dongfeng Truck is a good name. The east wind blows from the east, symbolizing new life and hope, and it means bringing new vitality and vigor to the base.
The launch of Dongfeng trucks marks the beginning of a new chapter in the industrial production of the base area.”
After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, everyone applauded. The applause echoed in the arsenal, and everyone's face was filled with pride and excitement.
Everyone was very excited and their eyes were filled with tears. As the first industrial base of the Eighth Route Army, this would not be the first, but a new beginning.
The independent column will open up a new industrial path for the Eighth Route Army and make greater contributions to the War of Resistance.
Gao Da looked at Meng Debiao with satisfaction: "Director Meng, on behalf of the Independent Column, I would like to thank you and the experts of the military factory for your hard work. I hope you can continue to work hard and contribute to the cause of the War of Resistance."
"Yes, Commander." Meng Debiao answered loudly.
Afterwards, Meng Debiao began to lead Gaoda and others to visit the arsenal.
The arsenal today is no longer a small one, but a huge one with tens of thousands of people.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Ping An Arsenal is not only the largest arsenal in China, but also the largest arsenal in Asia.
Gundam invested a huge amount of energy in the construction of the arsenal, providing hundreds of advanced industrial equipment. Mountains of raw materials were transported to the arsenal every day, which ensured the supply of weapons and ammunition for the independent column.
They walked past rows of machines where workers were busy operating them, their faces full of concentration and seriousness.
Godda stopped from time to time to ask the workers about their work and thank them for their hard work.
The entire 10-kilometer area around Wild Wolf Mountain was tightly surrounded by the independent column, with sentries everywhere, and no one was allowed to enter the area without permission. This was an absolute guarantee for the safety of the arsenal and the base.
Gundam stood on a high place, overlooking the entire arsenal, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He knew that this arsenal was not just a place to produce weapons, but also a symbol, symbolizing the determination and strength of the Independent Column.
He turned around and said to Qi Tongwei and Meng Debiao beside him: "Comrades, our achievements today are the result of our joint efforts.
I believe that as long as we are united, there is nothing we cannot do. The launch of Dongfeng Truck is just one of our many achievements.
In the future, we will have more achievements and more Dongfeng trucks to contribute to the victory of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression.”
Qi Tongwei and Meng Debiao both nodded firmly, their eyes flashing with expectation and confidence for the future.
.................
1 month 20 day.
The Spring Festival is getting closer, and a festive atmosphere is spreading in the base.
The laughter of children, the busy sounds of families preparing New Year's goods, and the sound of firecrackers one after another make up a lively New Year scene.
The Spring Festival, the most important traditional festival for the Chinese nation, fills everyone's heart with anticipation and joy.
This joy was even more obvious in the independent column's base.
Ever since the base area began to develop the breeding industry on a large scale, meat is no longer a shortage on the tables of ordinary people.
The independent column not only supplies the daily needs of the troops, but also sells part of the meat to nearby residents to improve their quality of life.
The points that the people earned from working in the Independent Column could be used to buy daily necessities and food in the stores opened by the column, which made everyone's face filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Gaoda and Qi Tongwei sat under a big tree at the entrance of the village, watching the busy villagers and children playing, and couldn't help but smile in their hearts.
They looked at the children, some of whom were setting off fireworks, some of whom were chasing and playing, their faces filled with happy smiles.
Since the county brigade was established in Lijiazhuang, Lijiazhuang has never suffered persecution from the Japanese devils again, so the people here live a very happy life.
Qi Tongwei said with emotion: "Commander, I have dreamt of such scenes countless times, watching children playing carefree, without worrying about danger, and growing up happily."
Gao Da looked at the children and said, "Political Commissar, we will realize all the scenes you see in the future. We will definitely drive the Japanese out of China and let all the people live and work in peace."
Qi Tongwei nodded heavily.
"What are you two doing?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Gaoda and Qi Tongwei.
They both turned their heads at the same time, and saw Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaorou standing behind them. The sisters' attire was eye-catching.
Gaoda looked at Gao Xiaoqin and her sister, his surprise was beyond words.
At this moment, they have changed into exquisite cashmere coats. The soft fabric sets off their figure. Their hair is styled into fashionable waves, which adds a touch of feminine softness and charm. They look very beautiful and attractive.
Gao Xiaoqin noticed the surprise in Qi Tongwei's eyes, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She walked lightly in front of the two men and turned around in front of them. Her wool coat swayed gently with her movements, showing an elegant temperament.
"Commander, Political Commissar, what do you think of my clothes? It looks good on you, right?" Gao Xiaoqin asked with a hint of playfulness.
The two nodded quickly, and Gaoda praised: "It looks good, too good. After Captain Gaoda took off his military uniform and changed into women's clothes, he was a little unrecognizable."
Qi Tongwei also said: "Ms. Gao is indeed a lady from a noble family. She is dressed very beautifully."
Hearing Qi Tongwei's praise, Gao Xiaoqin smiled even more happily, her eyes curved into crescents, and the blush on her face looked even more charming under the light.
Seeing this, Gao Da felt that he should give Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin some time alone, so he decided not to disturb them and turned to Gao Xiaorou and said, "Xiaorou, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go to the headquarters. Political Commissar, you stay here and accompany Captain Gao."
After saying that, he pulled Gao Xiaorou away from the scene, leaving Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin alone.
Qi Tongwei looked at the backs of Gaoda and Gao Xiaorou, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Gao Xiaoqin looked at Qi Tongwei and chuckled, breaking the silence: "Political Commissar, I heard that Lijiazhuang has held a small market, why don't we go and take a look."
"Oh, okay." Qi Tongwei came back to his senses and responded quickly.
And so, the two began their first date.
Although the two had met many times before, they were all at work and had never gone out together in a relaxed mood like today.
They strolled in the small market in Lijiazhuang, which was filled with all kinds of stalls selling New Year's goods, snacks, and handicrafts. It was very lively.
Gao Xiaoqin and Qi Tongwei talked as they walked. They talked about the development of the base, future plans, and every little thing in life.
Gao Xiaoqin's laughter echoed over the market from time to time, and Qi Tongwei listened quietly beside her, occasionally interjecting a word or two. The atmosphere between the two was relaxed and pleasant.
They stopped in front of a stall selling candied haws. Gao Xiaoqin's eyes lit up: "I haven't eaten candied haws for a long time. Let's buy two strings."
Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded, bought two strings of candied haws and handed one to Gao Xiaoqin.
The two of them ate candied haws as they walked, and the sour and sweet taste spread in their mouths, as if foreshadowing that their relationship was gradually changing from work partners to closer friends.
