Chapter 191: Developing the Plum Blossom Cannon
The Battle of Changsha won a big victory, and it was still a trivial matter for Xiao Yifei to be awarded the rank of major general, the key is that Lao Jiang sent a congratulatory letter to Xiao Yifei at the award ceremony, which caused the entire Changsha military and political circles to begin to pat Xiao Yifei's sycophants. Because this is an unprecedented incident, showing that Lao Jiang attaches great importance to Xiao Yifei, the military and political circles have speculated that Xiao Yifei may be the next rising star.
Xiao Yifei himself did not pay attention to this incident, as far as he was concerned, he did not value the treatment given to him by the national army. His heart belongs to the New Fourth Army, and he will always consider issues from the standpoint of the New Fourth Army.
Giving him the rank of major general, Xiao Yifei's attitude was very calm, he didn't think much about it.
Xiao Yifei only deals with the outside world, to be honest, according to Xiao Yifei's experience, people with a little brain can analyze that Xiao Yifei does not like to socialize.
The reason why Xiao Yifei participated in various activities of the National Army was actually for the sake of the New Fourth Army.
No matter what others think, Xiao Yifei feels that his heart for the New Fourth Army is clear.
Die'er has repeatedly proposed that she wants to go abroad to fight, but the reason why Xiao Yifei has been hesitant is not for the New Fourth Army?
Like Xiao Yifei's body system has reached such a powerful height now, the dantian qi in his body has reached an unimaginable purity, he will not care about the false reputation of politics and military circles, as long as he continues to work hard, the crystal sphere of the dantian in his body will definitely be sublimated, and how high will Xiao Yifei reach in the future, Xiao Yifei has no bottom in his heart, but one thing is certain, he now has a sense of fluttering immortals, and one day he will be able to fly as he wants, and he can even feather and ascend to immortals.
Because Xiao Yifei has great expectations for the dantian qi in his body, no matter who knows about this situation, he will definitely understand why Xiao Yifei doesn't care about the military rank, and why even his junior sister Die'er has repeatedly proposed to go abroad to fight, Xiao Yifei has used excuses to push it away.
Xiao Yifei told Die'er about other aspects of his special functions, only the dantian crystal sphere in his body, he didn't tell her, Xiao Yifei knew that the dantian sphere was very likely to be the key factor in his sublimation, and one day, he might really be upgraded to a god.
Don't think that Xiao Yifei and Die'er and other beauties have no reservations, in fact, Xiao Yifei is not stupid to this extent, he is still cautious.
If nothing else, let's just say that Beiqiao is a fairy-like beauty, Xiao Yifei didn't tell Die'er about his real relationship with her, this is what honest people will do dishonestly, and no one can be deceived by other people's superficial phenomena.
To be honest, Xiao Yifei misses Wanting very much, because he is far away from Wanting Ting, and Xiao Yifei has no way to know everything that happened in Wanting Family. Xiao Yifei really wanted to go to southern Anhui, because it was relatively close to Suzhou from there, and with his current ability, he could run at least 150 kilometers per hour in the mountains, and from southern Anhui to Suzhou, it would not take a few hours to arrive.
Mountains and rivers can no longer stop Xiao Yifei's progress, as long as Xiao Yifei wants to go, Xiao Yifei can go.
In his leisure time with the generals of the Ninth Theater, Xiao Yifei and Tang Guozhong worked together to improve the 10-barrel rocket launcher, and Xiao Yifei proposed that the rocket artillery shell could be reduced so that the length of the shell remained unchanged, so that its flight altitude could be increased. Xiao Yifei's idea was that he wanted to make weapons to fight Japanese aircraft.
Xiao Yifei proposed to Tang Guozhong the idea of changing the combination of the 10-barrel rocket launcher and transforming it into a plum blossom shape, so that when the small rockets fly into the air, they will spread out in a plum blossom shape, so as not to emphasize accuracy. This is a completely new concept of anti-aircraft weapon design, which no country could produce at the time, and it may not be unusual in modern times, but it was definitely an unprecedented innovation in that era.
After Tang Guozhong received the task, he conducted experiments in a secret factory in Changsha according to Xiao Yifei's ideas.
This is a factory that produces and manufactures ten-barreled rocket launchers for Xiao Yifei, its predecessor was the National Army Arsenal, and the old employees were all invited by the Ninth World War. These veteran workers were very experienced in making artillery shells, and when Tang Guozhong handed them over the design drawings, they were able to produce according to the drawings immediately.
They look like ordinary old workers, and when it is time to use their wisdom, they can exert their surplus heat more than anyone else.
Giving the development of new weapons to Tang Guozhong, Xiao Yifei can put down a hundred hearts, Xiao Yifei and Tang Guozhong are like brothers, Tang Guozhong is the first batch of old people to come to Xiao Yifei's side, Xiao Yifei arranged important positions for Tang Guozhong in the New Fourth Army, which is equivalent to a deputy division-level cadre.
Tang Guozhong was appreciative, and he did not make any requests to Xiao Yifei, but Xiao Yifei silently made arrangements for him, so that when something happened to the guerrillas, Tang Guozhong would have a good way out.
Of course, Xiao Yifei not only arranged a way out for Tang Guozhong, but also arranged a way out for Zhao Zihao and Die'er Xue Shiyu.
The others Xiao Yifei can't take care of it for the time being, but as long as Xiao Yifei can do it, he will definitely try his best for them.
Xiao Yifei is a person who values friendship, he knows that the people who follow him are risking their lives, and he is very grateful to everyone for never complaining.
Xiao Yifei's women, Xiao Yifei, have all improved their abilities, but the brothers Xiao Yifei has not yet come up with a way to help them improve their abilities, one thing is for sure, Xiao Yifei is definitely not a stingy person, as long as he can do it, he will definitely do everything possible to do it for them. There are many things that the brothers don't want to talk about, and Xiao Yifei himself will think about them.
Don't say anything else, let's just talk about money, Xiao Yifei has never suffered his brothers at any time, when Xiao Yifei was in southern Anhui, let them have fun after fighting, give them money to buy daily necessities, give them money to send home, now in Changsha, Xiao Yifei also asked Die'er to give them money, as long as they need it, just ask Die'er, within a hundred silver dollars Die'er has the final say, Xiao Yifei doesn't need to ask.
There is absolutely no such possibility in other teams, so which of Xiao Yifei's team members has not counted in his heart? There are many things that don't need to be said in words, but depend on actual actions. Xiao Yifei's actual actions convinced all the team members who followed him.
Of course, the leaders of other teams do not have Xiao Yifei's prestige, nor do they have Xiao Yifei's ability, after Xiao Yifei came to Changsha, as long as he talked to the reporters casually, only the reporters would find a way to make money for Xiao Yifei, not to mention that when the generals in the Ninth War Zone took the initiative to visit, they gave Xiao Yifei treasures and money.
The total number of Xiao Yifei's guerrillas is not large, and it is easy for Xiao Yifei to arrange everyone.
On this day, the eldest prince came to Changsha by plane from Chongqing, and as soon as he got off the plane, he went straight to Xiao Yifei's station to visit Xiao Yifei.
When the eldest prince comes, Xiao Yifei will definitely receive him with the warmest attitude. At that time, Die'er and the others fortunately did not go out, Xiao Yifei received the eldest prince in the study, and Xiao Yifei asked Die'er and Xue Shiyu to make tea for the eldest prince in person.
Xiao Yifei and the eldest prince sat side by side on the sofa, and the eldest prince looked at Xiao Yifei and said with a smile: "General Xiao, you should know that awarding you the rank of major general is an absolute exception in the national army." ”
Xiao Yifei brought tea to the eldest prince, and said with a smile: "Don't say anything, I will use tea to honor you and express my gratitude." ”
The eldest prince smiled and said, "General Xiao, my father and I both know that you don't care about your official position. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "That's true, what can I do if I am given the title of major general?" And won't grow an extra piece of meat? ”
The eldest prince smiled and said, "This shows my father's attitude towards you." ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "Everything is silent, I, Xiao Yifei, am not a fool, my heart is as bright as a mirror." ”
The eldest prince smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I won't say more, I want to invite you to southern Anhui, and we can talk day and night." ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "Build me an arsenal, I need to develop new weapons." ”
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Little meaning, as long as you say it, I will do my best." ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Eldest son, you are a cheerful person. ”
The eldest prince smiled and said, "I am only a few years older than you, and we should be called brothers." Compared with Changsha, southern Anhui is relatively peaceful, you can enter Zhejiang to the south, and you can go to Jiangsu to the east, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich places, and the conditions will be relatively better. ”
Xiao Yifei whispered: "The Japanese Qingpu munitions were destroyed by us, there is no war in Zhejiang, but this year, there will be a big battle to fight, the Japanese army in Changsha and Nanchang has suffered, this year the Japanese army has not had the courage to attack again, but the Japanese army in Zhejiang has not suffered again, the Zhejiang line is the lifeline to ensure the security of South China, the Japanese will definitely covet it, once the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line is conquered by the Japanese army, not only Nanchang and Changsha will not be guaranteed, the whole of South China will not be guaranteed, and Chongqing will not be guaranteed." ”
The eldest prince was shocked and said: "Will the Japanese army really seize the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line?" ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "I want to go to southern Anhui, not only because of your invitation, but also because of my judgment of the future situation. ”
The eldest prince nodded and said: "General Xiao, you are a great talent, I will tell Chief Gu about your judgment, I must let him pay enough attention, and I will also tell my father that the 74th Army must not be transferred to the south, it should be transferred to the direction of Zhejiang, in case the Japanese army plots the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line." ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "That's right, the Japanese army is attacking north from Guangdong and Guangxi, which are all mountainous areas, and it is impossible to make a big difference, let them go and make trouble." Even if those places were captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army would not be able to make a big wave. However, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line is different, because the main force of the national army is in this area, in case Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the Japanese invaders unite with the 11th Army, and the national army of the 3rd Theater, the 9th Theater, the 5th and 6th Theater National Army, their lives will hang by a thread. ”
The eldest prince nodded and said: "I understand, your idea is too important, I will send a telegram to my father immediately, and ask my father to personally send a telegram to Gu Zhutong in the third war zone, to warn Gu Zhutong that he must pay attention to it." I will also go and talk to Gu Zhutong about this in person. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "A hole in the eye, not enough to worry about." ”
The eldest prince smiled and said: "Okay, there is no need to talk about everything, let's discuss when you will go to southern Anhui!" If I needed to transport a vehicle, I personally sent a telegram to Gu Zhutong and asked him to send a car to Changsha to pick it up. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Send him a report!" We'll go by whenever he has a car. Let him carry my supplies, and I rode with my teammates. ”
