Takeuchi has been in the army for many years, and has never seen such a difficult opponent, although his 55th Division lost troops to take Mandalay, but the main force of the British army in Burma was mostly lost. Japan wanted to take the whole of Burma, and after receiving an order from Yamashita Fufumi, Takeuchi Kan commanded the 55th Division, which had only replenished the source of troops, to continue northward, but it was a pity that his 55th Division, like the 33rd Division, was blocked by the independent army deployed on the front line of Lashio.

Before the independence army went south, it purchased a large amount of military supplies from the British army in Burma, which included not only weapons, ammunition and equipment, but also many British military uniforms. The Jews and British who migrated to Ruili were of European descent, and when they wore the uniforms of the British army, the Jewish soldiers in the Independence Army were no different from ordinary British soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers did not know that they were not confronted by the British at all.

Unlike the British troops stationed in Mandalay, the Independence Army deployed on the Lashio line used a completely different tactic from the British army, using a large number of strong fortifications to confront the Japanese army, while at the same time mobilizing troops to attack the Japanese army in the north. Unlike the guerrilla forces roaming the North China Plain, the Independence Army, armed with elite weapons, often used long-range firepower weapons such as machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers when attacking the Japanese army.

There were a large number of Burmese natives as guides, and the small units of the independent army that attacked everywhere were quite a headache for the Japanese troops going north, but Yamashita Fengwen, who had already waved his army south, was not worried about this, because in his opinion, the more the British army was like this, the more it showed that the British army in Burma was not confident, and if it were not for this, the British army would not use guerrilla tactics against the Japanese troops going north. Yamashita Bongfumi's disregard for the Independence Army caused a headache for Takeuchi now, and his 55th Division suffered heavy casualties in the raids and harassment that had taken place for several days.

The battle in Lashio fell into a stalemate, but Zhuo Fei, who had been sitting in Lashio, returned to Ruili at this time, and Chen Geng, the commander of the 1st Independent Division, returned to Ruili with him. Chen Geng was born in Huangpu, and later joined the Communist Party, and was also a strong general in the Eighth Route Army, but since he was transferred to Ruili and merged into the Independent Army, Chen Geng has never had the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, and Chen Geng is very complaining about this. Zhuo Fei took Chen Geng back to Ruili this time, not for the few complaints behind Chen Geng's back, but for another thing.

"Division Commander Chen, I know you want to go to the battlefield, but you must know that now is not the best time for a major counteroffensive. I have long said that before the southern corps under the command of Yamashita Fumi enters the Philippines, the Burmese side can only focus on defense, otherwise everything we have planned will be problematic. Is the patience and dedication of so many people just for the sake of what you want to be wasted? Personally, I don't think it's worth it. Sitting in the bumpy jeep, Zhuo Fei still resisted Chen Geng's invitation.

Chen Geng is a person from the Eighth Route Army, and there are some things that Zhuo Fei can't say too much, but looking at Chen Geng's face, he doesn't attach much importance to what Zhuo Fei said just now. Zhuo Fei was also helpless about this. Fortunately, at this point, the jeep stopped, and the conversation between the two stopped. The place where Zhuo Fei took Chen Geng was a mountainous area, and according to Angela's plan for Ruili, this large area of mountainous land belonged to the territory of the Weapons Research Institute.

"Boss, you're here, and if you don't, Professor Wag will be angry." Zhuo Fei got out of the jeep, and Angela, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried up to meet him. While nodding to Chen Geng to say hello, he whispered to Zhuo Fei. Angela and Zhuo Fei fell behind each other, and Chen Geng looked around by himself, only to see a few trucks parked in an open field not far from him, and there was a circle of big-nosed foreigners in white coats standing next to the trucks.

Chen Geng has been in the Ruili training camp, and he has seen a lot of big-nosed foreigners, and there are even more than 10,000 Jewish big-nosed foreigners in the independent division he commands, so Chen Geng will not be surprised by those big-nosed foreigners. "Professor Wag, I'm sorry, I'm late, it's too damn hard to walk." Zhuo Fei strode towards an old foreign man who walked out of the crowd, first hugged the other party, and then apologized to the other party very sincerely.

"Zhuo, you can't always be like this, last time you were late, you used this excuse. As you should know, we have a limited amount of time and can't waste a lot of time waiting. Although the foreign old man had forgiven Zhuo Fei for being late, he was very disdainful of Zhuo Fei's behavior of coming late but looking for an excuse. Zhuo Fei didn't take the foreign old man's complaints to heart, let alone explain that he had rushed back from the front line of Lashio, but just smiled and changed the topic in time.

"Miss Angela, has Boss Zhuo always been like this?" Seeing Zhuo Fei talking with those foreigners in white coats with a smile on his face, Chen Geng was very puzzled by what had just happened in front of his eyes. If you change Zhuo Fei's current status, if you dare to accuse yourself in person, even if you won't have a seizure on the spot, you should be very uncomfortable in your heart, where will you be completely fine like Zhuo Fei.

Angela knew what Chen Geng wanted to ask, and then smiled, "It seems that you still don't know our boss, I have been employed by the boss since the Battle of Nanjing in your country, and since then, he has been like this, and he has not changed until now." Professor Wag is a serious man and has played a key role in the rocket artillery project, and the boss has done this to him in order to motivate other engineers to better serve our umbrella company. ”

"Division Commander Chen, come and take a look, this is the new weapon that will be equipped for you and the new army, the latest long-range rocket artillery vehicle developed by our umbrella company." Chen Geng also wanted to know more about Zhuo Fei from Angela, but was interrupted by Zhuo Fei standing by the truck. Knowing that this trip was for the newly developed new weapons, Chen Geng immediately became interested, but he didn't know what the new weapons had to do with several trucks.

At Zhuo Fei's signal, the driver wearing an umbrella on the military uniform started the truck, and he didn't know what mechanism the driver in the cab had pulled, and with the roar of the truck, the compartment of the truck changed strangely. The camouflage-painted car lifts up as the truck's accelerator throttle roars, and a thick hydraulic arm lifts up the section of the car near the front of the car, while a few wires are connected to the other end of the car.

Professor Wag, who had hugged Zhuo Fei before, pointed to the wires connected to the rear of the carriage and explained, "The rocket launcher we developed is different from the multiple launch rockets equipped by the Soviet army, although the multiple launch rockets equipped by the Soviet army are very similar to ours in appearance, they all use trucks as the power base. But our rocket artillery has a farther range than theirs, and the charge of the body part of the projectile also greatly exceeds theirs, and it also far surpasses them in range and lethality. ”

As Professor Wag explained, several young weapons researchers approached the rocket launcher that had revealed their true faces, and they didn't know what device they had pulled, and the rocket launcher with one end upturned was gently pushed by the two weapons researchers, and then changed directions. "This is our unique mobile site for the launcher, with which the trucks on the launch mission can launch rockets as required, no matter what terrain and what kind of parking space."

"What is the angle at which the launcher moves?" Insiders look at the doorway, the rocket artillery project was proposed by Zhuo Fei, and no one is more familiar with this weapon than him.

"In order to ensure the safety of the cab, the mobile ground of our rocket launcher can be moved to the left and right at will, and it can also be fired at a 90-degree right angle to the truck. Another advantage of this mobile turf is that after all the rockets on the launcher are fired, the truck can move its position without waiting for the launcher to fall completely, and only need to insert the bolt into the keyhole under the launcher before the truck moves its position. Zhuo Fei followed Professor Wag's instructions and found the keyhole under the launch frame.

"Great, with this device, our rocket artillery vehicles can change positions anytime and anywhere, and we don't have to worry about being locked by the Japanese artillery group." Chen Geng was a high-ranking general who had commanded a big war, and just from the conversation between Zhuo Fei and Professor Wager, he already understood the usefulness and weakness of this kind of rocket artillery vehicle in front of him.

After listening to Professor Wag's careful explanation, according to Zhuo Fei's intentions, a group of young weapons researchers under Wag immediately loaded the rocket artillery vehicle with rockets, and Professor Wag personally pressed the launch button of one of the rocket artillery vehicles. The rocket artillery vehicle developed by Professor Wag and them was a 12-tube rocket launcher, and the six rocket artillery vehicles present were launched almost at the same time, and the 72-tube rockets rose into the air together, and in Chen Geng's surprised gaze, the opposite mountain was blown up into a sea of fire and smoke.

The scene was deadly silent, and Zhuo Fei deliberately locked on to Chen Geng who was standing beside him with the corner of his eye, but found that Chen Geng was already with his mouth wide open at this time, and his eyes were dull. Zhuo Fei looked at the other people beside him, even Professor Wag, who had personally developed the rocket artillery, was stunned, and Zhuo Fei couldn't help but laugh secretly. The power of the rocket launcher was greatly beyond everyone's expectations, and even Professor Wag, who developed the rocket launcher, did not expect that the multiple rocket launchers would be so powerful when fired in a salvo.

"Great, great, if we could have had this kind of weapon earlier, the little devil should have gone back to his hometown a long time ago." Chen Geng came back to his senses for a long time, he had been completely conquered by this new weapon, and when he learned that this rocket artillery car still had 18 barrels, he even clamored for Zhuo Fei to hurry up and produce this new weapon.
