Chapter 917 Attention everyone, this is a drill.
However, they basically only used it to make clothes and the like. I never expected that the Eighth Route Army would use it to produce fur chairs. That was truly a brilliant idea.
At this moment, the guards shifted back and forth in their unfinished chairs. To be honest, it was the most comfortable chair they had ever sat in, bar none.
Chu Yunfei, however, asked curiously, "Section Chief Ma, you just said that this kind of bus can be disguised. I'm curious, how does it do that? Can you demonstrate it for me?"
"No problem, Commander Chu."
"Later, while we're driving, we'll simulate an enemy air raid and how to get into a battlefield camouflage scenario."
Before arriving, Section Chief Ma had already received orders from his superiors that he could openly display certain things when welcoming Chu Yunfei's Jin-Sui Army.
This is a display of power, a deterrent, and also a way to cooperate with superiors in executing a massive plan.
In this plan, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were both key figures, and could be considered pawns.
As for the players, Kong Hao is one of them, and there are many other big names behind him.
After starting the car, Chu Yunfei carefully examined it and found that it was running smoothly, the engine was not loud, and there was no pungent smell of engine oil. It seemed that the industrial technology level here was not low.
Because Chu Yunfei and the guards' platoon together only numbered around thirty, Section Chief Ma sent the other three buses back empty, leaving the remaining two buses as sufficient.
"Commander, I must say, this fur chair is really comfortable. It's much better than riding a horse."
"Lieutenant Sun, let me test you. What can you tell from this ordinary bus?"
"Commander, I think the strength of the Eighth Route Army is really unfathomable. This is just an ordinary bus, a civilian vehicle, and it's already this powerful. Their military transport trucks must be very strong as well."
"This also means that they have amazing efficiency in logistics and supply. Nowadays, war is all about logistics and supply capabilities, and our Jin-Sui Army can't compare to them at all."
Chu Yunfei nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. Major Sun Ming had been by his side for many years and could be considered his absolute confidant.
With Sun's qualifications, he would be more than qualified to be the commander of a main force battalion this year.
However, Chu Yunfei was a little reluctant to part with him, as he couldn't find a replacement for the time being. In addition, his adjutant, Sun, was also sentimental and reluctant to leave his old superior whom he had followed for many years.
However, on the other hand, Deputy Commander Sun held a very high position in the 358th Division. Even the commander of the main force regiment treated him with great respect.
“Deputy Officer Sun, you only saw one part. Just now, Section Chief Ma specifically mentioned that this type of bus is used for long-distance transportation between county towns.”
"That means they have already built the road between the county towns, just like the gravel and cement road we see now, because such a large bus has very high requirements for road conditions."
“Cement is an extremely important strategic material. In our Jin-Sui Army, cement is only used in important defensive fortifications.”
"But here, it's being used to build roads, which is a complete waste."
In this time of national crisis, a true soldier like Chu Yunfei should use any resources that are helpful to the war effort to fight the invaders on the battlefield.
Using such high-grade cement to build highways is a huge waste.
Of course, building such roads would greatly benefit troop movements, but the cost-effectiveness is too low; it would be more worthwhile to use them to construct defensive fortifications.
At this moment, Lieutenant Sun looked at the cement road leading into the distance and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really extravagant. I remember last month the theater logistics department allocated two hundred tons of cement to our division, and we treated it like a treasure, not daring to use it easily."
"But I never expected that the Eighth Route Army would be so extravagant as to use precious cement to build roads. They are truly incredibly wealthy."
"If we had this much cement, we could build an impregnable defense line, and no matter how many Japanese devils came, they wouldn't be able to set foot in our territory."
One can't help but admire that the Jin-Sui Army had its own advantages, namely its skill in defense, which was unmatched by most other troops.
Chu Yunfei followed the car's movement, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.
The technology involved in producing cement is not actually high, but it requires a lot of electricity, making it a high-energy-consuming industry.
Apart from the Eighth Route Army's base areas, which could build a large number of thermal power plants to provide energy, other forces could not even meet the power supply needs of cities, let alone produce cement.
Our base initially developed steel and cement industries. Only by building our industrial base into an impregnable fortress could we remain invincible.
Besides our own use in our base area, a small portion was also sold to other local forces. For example, we once sold 10,000 tons of cement to the Jin-Sui Army at a low price, and the Sichuan Army also received 5,000 tons.
The Japanese are increasingly reluctant to launch an attack, and this is partly the reason.
After all, a sturdy fortification built with reinforced concrete is only effective against heavy artillery, and even the Type 92 infantry gun commonly used by the Japanese is no match for it.
After the convoy had been running for ten minutes, Section Chief Ma came over and said to everyone, "Gentlemen, our convoy will be conducting an air defense drill in a little while. Please don't panic, just stay where you are."
Chu Yunfei and the others quickly agreed, as they wanted to take a good look at what this air defense exercise was all about.
At this moment, Section Chief Ma took out a walkie-talkie and issued the exercise order to the convoy:
"Attention all drivers of the convoy, an air defense emergency evacuation drill will be conducted in five minutes. To reiterate, this is just a drill, so please do not panic."
When the time came, the two buses made an emergency stop on the side of the road. In order to make it easier for friendly forces to see, they specifically chose a side road with a few trees.
After the vehicle came to a stop, the driver and support staff quickly got off the bus, used a folding ladder they carried to climb onto the top of the bus, and lowered the bundle of cloth curtains tied to it.
Chu Yunfei's vision suddenly went completely black. If he hadn't been mentally prepared beforehand, he would have drawn his sidearm and led his guards to prepare for battle in order to deal with any danger.
To be honest, as a soldier, what he hates most is this kind of situation that he can't control.
