On October 2, 1940, it was a sunny day, like a blue sky dotted with white clouds, and the early autumn sun spread on the land of the river, generously draped a golden robe on everything that shone on. Chongqing has not seen the sun for a week, and citizens have turned out their clothes, bedding, books, etc. at home and put them outside to dry.

"Have you all listened to me, do you all know what you're going to do?" Hu Wenbin stood in front of his subordinates with his waist crossed and shouted loudly.

He is a plainclothes squad leader under the social investigation group of the military commander, and because he is from Whampoa, he has a regular establishment and the rank of second lieutenant in the army.

"We have to monitor the situation on this section of the street, and if we find any suspicious objects, we must report them to me immediately, and if we mess up the mission assigned by the upper peak, no one of us, including me, will be able to escape. The boss has made it very clear that if something goes wrong, in addition to the national law, it will also be dealt with by the family law, and you must all know that the family law is powerful. Hu Wenbin glanced at the subordinate in front of him with a straight face, looking very imposing, but in fact, his heart was like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down.

Only two of these guys came out of the regular training class, and the other few were either street gangsters or local robe brothers before, and if you want to say that the extortion pit is abducted and defrauded, they are all experts, and they really let them do something serious in the district, and it feels a little unreliable when you think about it.

"Don't worry, team leader, this was Lao Tzu's territory before, and no wind or grass can hide Lao Tzu's eyes. What's more, the chairman of the committee has also transferred so many soldiers, there will not be that turtle son who does not open his eyes and comes out to look for death at this time. Lao Tzu promises that it will be smooth today, and if something happens, you can cut off Lao Tzu's brain. ”

The one who replied was born in a robe, and he had a lot of status in the rivers and lakes, and he had some friendship with the upper-level bosses of the military command, and he never looked at the captain of the detachment parachuted down from above.

"Reassured? The one I don't worry about the most is you. The subordinates blatantly did not give themselves face, Hu Wenbin gritted his teeth with hatred, but on the surface, he wanted to maintain the prestige of the team leader, so he pretended to nod deeply and said a good word indifferently.

"Ge Laozi, your turtle's skull, one day I will find an opportunity to cut it off." The leader of the plainclothes team thought so in his heart.

Chongqing City, a prosperous area close to Wangjiangmen, has entered a state of high alert at this moment. As far as the eye can see, the streets are full of barracks dressed in various uniforms, and army soldiers wearing full German uniforms and carrying medium and formal rifles with bayonets are lined up on both sides of the street to maintain order.

Tens of thousands of students and citizens organized by government departments, holding paper Chinese and German flags, stood on the sidewalk waiting for the arrival of the German special mission, and the welcoming procession lined up along Zhongzheng Road from the intersection of Minsheng Road to Wangjiangmen Wharf.

"Mr. Dai, everything is arranged, but a colonel from the garrison headquarters will not let our people enter the hall, saying that the garrison there is impregnable." Zhao Shirui ran to Dai Li's side and whispered in the ear of his boss.

"Don't pay attention to him, you go to Liu Zhi in person now, and say that this is what the principal meant, everything must be based on absolute safety as the first consideration, in case of an accident, we have a few heads to compensate the Germans." Dai Li's face was gloomy, and he commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, Mr. Dai, my subordinates will deal with it immediately." After Zhao Shirui nodded in agreement, he immediately turned around and ran away.

"Yunong, why are you still hiding here, the chairman is sending people to look for you everywhere." At this time, Zhang Wenbai trotted all the way over, grabbed Dai Li's sleeve and dragged it out.

"Brother Wen Bai, don't pull it, I can go by myself." Dai Li really underestimated the strength of the other party, and as a result, the spy leader was taken away by the army general.

"Marshal, now the river below us is the Yangtze River of China." Baron Le Bernau pointed to the bottom of the porthole. In fact, the Yangtze River is supposed to be the ancient name of the lower Yangtze River, just because foreign missionaries have been active in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the early days, so they think the name heard from the local people is the name of the entire Yangtze River.

"The government has already arranged a welcoming ceremony, and the chairman of the committee will personally come to greet him, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Chongqing are looking forward to the presence of German friends." Kong Xiangxi sat on the extra seat specially set up for him, with an excited smile on his face.

He knew that Germany was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and the giant seaplane he was flying on now was enough to prove that Germany's military technology had surpassed the world's leaders.

Taking off from Haiphong Port and going straight to the sky over Chongqing, according to the German pilot, this plane has a lot of spare power, and the range she has is enough to cover all cities in China, and what interests Kong Xiangxi even more is that there is no need to build a special airport for it, as long as there is a wide and calm water, this plane can take off and land at will.

With a load of eighteen tons, how many private goods can be carried at that time. Unfortunately, this super-flying machine is not on the list of purchases provided by Germany to the national government.

"The first batch of purchased materials has already begun to be sorted and packed, and they will be ready for shipment as soon as the agreement with your country is signed." Colonel Davidson picked up a telegram from the telecommunications officer's desk and reached out and handed it to Brumberg.

"The Führer is pleased with the progress of our work so far, and the next batch of supplies will arrive in French Indochina by the middle of this month. Mr. Minister, the large-caliber howitzers you have requested to purchase are currently only the active products of our army, and if your country is willing to wait patiently, Rheinland Steel and Krupp can once again make a special effort for you. Davidson turned his face to Kong Xiangxi and said.

"Thank you so much, I will report the good news to the government." Kong Xiangxi responded with a smile.

The government once purchased a batch of large-caliber howitzers from Germany, and they were not standard equipment used by the German army itself, but special models specially ordered by Rheinmetall at the request of China. The sFH18 150-mm howitzer uses a 32-diameter barrel and has a range of more than 2,000 meters farther than the German Army's own 30-diameter guns.

At that time, China ordered 24 heavy howitzers with a diameter of 32 times, and also sent professionals to the production plant to supervise the manufacture, which shows how much attention it attaches to this weapon. After the domestic trial, it was unanimously praised by the army's top brass, so the government then purchased a batch of FH18 with a diameter of 30 times as a supplement, and established the second heavy howitzer regiment of the whole army.

It is a pity that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, on the Songhu battlefield, because of the outdated artillery tactics and the gap in numbers, the German heavy howitzer did not play its due role. What's even more regrettable is that in the ensuing chaotic retreat, some heavy artillery was blocked by the mines planted by the retreating troops, and in desperation, these heavy artillery could only be discarded in the river.

As a result, the remaining heavy artillery was regarded as a treasure by the top level of the state government and entrusted with important tasks, not only was it classified as a unit directly under the Military Commission, but every transfer and use had to be authorized and approved by the Military Commission.

At the beginning, because of the protest of the Japanese government, Germany agreed to sever all similar transactions with the national government, so this kind of artillery, which was regarded by the national government as a strategic weapon, lost one less and one less, and could not be replenished at all, so that it was always carefully cared for and easily did not dare to use it. Therefore, when it was learned that Germany was now willing to re-sell this weapon to China, how could it not make everyone in the government feel overjoyed.

In fact, the German high command felt that with the current strategic situation of the national government, it should purchase more small and medium-caliber mountain artillery. Because of the terrain in which the national government troops are currently stationed, it is not very conducive to the maneuvering of this kind of heavy artillery with a dead weight of five and a half tons on the battlefield.

However, Xu Jun immediately said that since the Chinese side specifically proposed it, then how to use it is the other party's own problem, Germany only needs to deliver on time, and other things have nothing to do with Germany, so why should we jump out to remind them. Xu Jun expected that the government would not be unaware of the problem, their strategic posture is in full defense, and the purpose of the current procurement of this weapon is likely to be deployed in key areas as a defensive weapon in key areas. The German generals were full of offensive spirit, so they suggested that the other side buy small and medium-caliber artillery that was easy to maneuver, but they did not consider that this German tactical concept was not necessarily applicable in the current Chinese battlefield.

"Your Excellency, we are about to land, please return to your seats and buckle up." The co-pilot stepped out of the cockpit and reported to Bollenburg, and everyone in the back hurried back to their seats, firmly fastening the buckles of their seat belts.

The huge BV222 roared past the top of the large and small ships docked in the Yangtze River, and the gray bottom of the planing boat slowly approached the gentle water. This section of the Yangtze River has been cleared by the national government, and there is no obstacle in front of the O'Haim crew, and the seaplane has landed cleanly on the water, and most of the fuselage is shrouded in the stirred mist.

The seaplane then slowed down and finally came to a halt in the center of the river, near Wangjiangmen, and for the first time, the full view of the behemoth was shown to the Chinese welcoming public.
