Chapter 5: The Discovery of Higashino Kanda (1)

The gate of Wanping City.

The horrific shooting has passed, and the reverberating gunfire has faded, but its impact has not.

All city gates are under full martial law, and traffic inside and outside the city is absolutely prohibited.

A full brigade was dispatched to take the detachment as a unit to scrape the floor inside the city and conduct a carpet search outside the city, trying to find out the possible attackers and comrades.

At the same time, the angry Japanese army also vented their grievances and anger in their hearts.

······

When there was a big search inside and outside Wanping City.

City gates.

A Japanese soldier was silent as he looked at the city wall with blood stains and bullet holes.

Behind him, a detachment of Japanese soldiers looked tired, and their yellow Japanese uniforms were covered with mud and dust.

"Higashino Shaosa, Captain Nishida, please come to the headquarters" At this time, a liaison officer strode over from the city, saluted a military salute, and reported while panting.

Ignoring the liaison officer, the Japanese soldier Shaozo looked at the huge bullet holes on the city wall, his fingers ran a circle along the bullet holes, and when the dust on the edge of the bullet holes fell, a trace of steel flashed in his eyes.

Breaking open the broken bricks, deep in the bullet hole was a rusty steel hammer.

Judging by the style of the steel hammer and the rusty exterior, it is supposed to be left over from the construction of the city walls in the past.

At this time, in the center of the steel hammer, there is a huge bullet hole, around the bullet hole.

After breaking the hammer from the city wall and looking at it in his hand for a moment, the Japanese soldier threw the hammer at the liaison officer behind him, and then he took out his dagger and searched the bullet marks on the city wall, and finally dug out a warhead from a fluffy part of the city wall.

"The same warhead!"

Looking at the warhead in his hand, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Placing the warhead in the palm of his hand, he carefully looked at the warhead in his hand.

The bullet is a short column oval, which is a standard pistol bullet shape, and the pistol is small in size, so the bullet is significantly shorter than that of a rifle, including the cartridge case and the bullet head.

Therefore, under the same caliber, the pistol is far less powerful than the rifle.

It's just that

What a heavy warhead,

He flipped the bullet in his hand and silently read a data in his heart.

"At least 25 grams"

One that weighs far more than any pistol warhead in the world at the moment.

This weight is almost enough to catch up with the large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns of the Navy.

Moreover, such a hard warhead,

After a gentle wipe, the warhead as a whole is as smooth as new, and there is not the slightest scratch on the whole, let alone deformed.

And this warhead was clearly just used.

Although the walls of Wanping City are rammed earth pressed walls, only a layer of hard stone bricks is on the surface.

But it is incredible that a warhead, after piercing a steel hammer, piercing several meters of thick city walls, and breaking large and small stones densely packed in the city walls, still does not leave the slightest scratch and deformation.

After a burst of amazement in Shaozuo's heart, he was about to put the warhead in his pocket, when suddenly a line of traces on the warhead caught his attention.

Bringing the warhead in front of his eyes, he could see the traces on the warhead.

This is a line of numbers.

“1-00005”

The number is printed on the side of the warhead, because of the color and texture of the metal, it is very easy to slip through unless you look closely.

Then, Shao Zuo took out another warhead of the same size and shape from his pocket, which was as smooth as new.

The field of view is close, and this warhead is also printed with a line of numbers.

“1-00001”

"Collect all the warheads left by the attackers" After giving the order to the Japanese troops in the detachment behind him, Kanda Higashino Shaosa walked to the headquarters, staring at the two bullets in his hand at the same time, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes gradually fell into contemplation.

Technology determines war.

A country's war prowess is largely determined by its scientific and technological prowess.

As a graduate of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and has experience in studying in the United States and Germany, Kanda Higashino understands this rule very well.

To be able to launch an all-out offensive against the huge Republic of China with the country of projectiles, the Great Japanese Empire relied on the scientific and technological power that comprehensively surpassed the Republic of China.

In the face of more troops, more population, and more vast territory of the Republic of China, the reason why the empire was able to maintain a complete victory.

It relies on better guns and artillery than the Republic of China, on a more comprehensive and complete armed force than the Republic of China, and on a better logistics system than the Republic of China. And these need to be supported by the power of science and technology.

But

He also knows very well,

With Japan's current scientific and technological strength, it will absolutely not be able to manufacture these two warheads in his hands.

Even in the imperial arsenal, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing warhead that is being developed in top secret is far inferior.

At least, in last year's laboratory tests, tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells were scratched all over after penetrating only a dozen centimeters of steel, and the whole was completely deformed.

Because of his father's military and government background, because of his family's military industrial strength, and because of his academic background in the United States and Germany, he has also been exposed to more top-secret weapons experiments in China.

The Army Super Cannon Project, the Navy Fleet Main Gun Research, the Air Force's Super Fighter Program.

So, he was well aware of the Empire's current technological power. He also knew that the warhead in his hand, the technology reflected in these two small warheads, was beyond the imagination of the entire empire.

With kinetic energy exceeding the speed of sound, it sliced through the chamber of the gun, shattered flesh and bones, passed through the bricks, penetrated the steel hammer, and finally sank deep into the stone wall, so violently that it did not leave a trace.

There is such a hard and resilient steel in the world.

Who made it?

It is naturally impossible for the Republic of China to create such a warhead, and if they have such technology, it will naturally not be the turn of the empire to spread wild here.

So is Germany? United States? Red USSR? Or is it the empire on which the sun never sets for a hundred years?

If it was a laboratory product, he could accept it, after all, there was an extremely difficult gap between the laboratory and the factory. There are a whole bunch of super technologies and weapons in the labs of every country, but most of them can't be found in factories, and likewise, they don't show up on the battlefield.

But two identical warheads, as well as the number on the warheads symbolizing mass production, made him a little uneasy.

I didn't expect the technological gap between the empire and the Western powers to be so big!

Is it pointless to catch up for 50 years since the Restoration?

At this moment, with a background of studying in the United States and Germany, he suddenly felt a touch of despair and confusion in his heart.

"Shaozo? Where is the headquarters? The liaison's words shattered his mind and woke him up.

Only then did he realize that before he knew it, he was on the wrong track.

Sensing his emotions, Higashino Kanda took a deep breath and exhaled the confusion and despair in his mind.

With the recovery of emotions,

He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He wanted to find out which country's product it was.

He wants to find out who dares to meddle in the war of the empire, and who dares to obstruct the empire from realizing the co-prosperity sphere.

If you want to catch up with the gap in science and technology, you can't just honestly study this method.

Thinking of this, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
