Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at the content of the telegram, the whole person laughed, and said with a grin at Xiao Qiao: "Haha, I didn't expect it to be really good news!" ”

Haha, he couldn't help but laugh, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

This is a telegram sent from Taiyuan, the content of the telegram reads: At present, the ** arsenal has produced ten Whirlwind fighters and 15 Cheetah tanks, and at the same time, the reserve troops in the rear and ** have trained the second batch of officers, asking if they will immediately support the Nanjing battlefield.

"Okay, hahaha, ten Whirlwind fighters and 15 Cheetah tanks, although the number is not much, but if it can be played well, it can achieve an amazing combat effect!"

"I didn't expect that 20,000 reserve troops and officers have been trained in the rear, not bad, this is the fresh blood of the Iron and Blood Brigade!"

When Li Yunlong saw the contents of this telegram, he was very happy and in a good mood.

The last time he returned to Taiyuan, Li Yunlong signed for the production line of tanks and fighters from Smith's hands, and then went to Xi'an to attend the exchange meeting of senior officers of the Second War Zone.

In this more than four months, the first arsenal can complete the assembly and commissioning of the production line of tanks and fighters to production in such a short time, which is very fast.

"Lao Zhao, the commander-in-chief of the rear, is doing a good job!" Li Yunlong had a smile on his face: "I know that we need people and equipment to attack Nanjing, so this is here!" ”

The fighter production line of the ** arsenal that Smith helped build this time is the F4F fighter, which is often called the Wildcat fighter by the US military.

The F4F fighter is the most important carrier-based fighter of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps at the outbreak of World War II, and it is also a key player in containing the myth of World War Zero and stabilizing U.S. air supremacy in the Pacific region. His nickname is Wildcat. Later generations believed that the Wildcat was the preeminent naval fighter of the early days of World War II.

Later in the early stages of the Pacific War, the U.S. Navy used the F2A and F4F Wildcats, which were inferior in speed and agility, against the Japanese Zeros. The F4F Wildcat, a stubby little aircraft, was the main fighter of the US Navy in the first year of the war.

The Wildcat fighter was armed with a six-point 50-caliber machine gun weighing 2673 kg. The total weight reached 3616kg.

It has to be said that this Wildcat fighter is powered by a Pratt & hitney R-1830-36-Tin-asp engine with a horsepower of 1200 N, and the flight range reaches 1239km. The cruising speed is 249km/h. The maximum speed is 512 km/h.

In country M, the F4F fighter is called the Night Cat fighter, but Li Yunlong named the F4F fighter a Whirlwind fighter.

This time, the ** arsenal was able to produce the Whirlwind fighter so quickly, in addition to the workers of the arsenal rushing to work day and night, there is another important reason, that is, the role of Smith!

Smith, the Yankee, was bent on cooperating with Li Yunlong, so he had already brought over the engines of ten Whirlwind fighters in country M, which was already a finished product.

You know, the fighter planes of the World War II period are not as complex as modern fighters, relatively speaking, they are a lot simpler, and the most important part is the engine part, but because there are ready-made engines, the production of fighters is already a lot faster.

I have to say that Smith, a foreigner, doesn't know if it's because his vision is good enough, and now he is starting to tie up Li Yunlong.

"I didn't expect that we even have tanks and fighters now!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel excited: "It seems that this station in Nanjing is bound to be the largest battle." ”

As for the Cheetah tank, this is an American M3 light tank.

The M3 light tank is a product of the 40s of the 20th century by the American vehicle and foundry company, which is mainly used for reconnaissance, alert or rapid mobile combat warfare.

Although the M3 light tank was a very small light tank, it was one of the most widely used light tanks in World War II. If it were in war, the M3 series light tanks were the Type 95 light tanks and Type 97 medium tanks that could defeat the Japanese army.

The reason why it is called the Cheetah tank is because the speed of the M3 tank is really good, although the total combat weight of the whole tank reaches 12700kg, but the maximum speed reaches 58km/h. The maximum distance is 113 km.

Because the Cheetah tank is a light tank, it is not so cumbersome to produce, and with a group of experts brought by Herbert Smith present, 15 Cheetah tanks were also quickly produced.

Li Yunlong looked up at Xiao Qiao, and said loudly: "Xiao Qiao, immediately send a telegram to Taiyuan, so that more than 20,000 reserve troops and officers will rush to Nanjing immediately, and at the same time secretly transport the newly equipped Cheetah tanks and fighters!" ”

"Remember, these operations must be carried out in secret, so this Cheetah tank and Whirlwind fighter are the new killer tools of our Iron and Blood Brigade, and they can kill the little devil by surprise when the time comes!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Also, let Lao Zhao give Smith the drawings of the AK47 Devil Rifle and the Tiger Tank, this foreign devil has helped us do a lot of work, it should give him a little sweetness!" ”

"Got it, Brigadier Commander!" Little Joe answered and went down.

More than 20,000 reserve troops, Cheetah tanks, Whirlwind fighters...... These multiplied the strength of the Iron and Blood Brigade and stirred up the situation in Nanjing.

At this time, Shanghai was not calm at all, because there was a Shanghai king - Ma Sanpao.

This horse and three cannons are a well-known and powerful person.
