Chapter 100: The Navy

Paul Schmidt, the inventor of the impulse jet engine (1928), although the later V1 missiles did not use the engine he designed, but the impulse jet engine developed by Dr. Fritz Goslau of the Argus engine manufacturing company, but now in 1937 there is no one in Goslau, so Paul Schmidt can only be found. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 It is said that Schmidt submitted a short-range surface-to-surface missile proposal to the German Ministry of Aviation in 1934, but it was not approved, and only after von Braun and others reviewed the proposal, and in the end, this person's design was replaced by Dr. Goslau.

What Paul Schmidt was doing in 1937, and whether he was co-opted by Göring like von Braun and became one of the developers funded by the Ministry of Aviation, Li Kongrong did not know. Not only did he not know, but he had not yet gone to this person openly - he was yellow and Chinese, and the Germans would not like him, and it would be much better to let Italian women come forward. If Schmidt had been co-opted by Goering, he could also have an Italian woman use a beauty trick to steal technical information.

——One night when he was taking a shower, Li Kongrong, who had a big brain, suddenly remembered a novel he had read about an arms dealer who traveled through the United States, and he suddenly thought why couldn't he become an arms dealer? Naturally, something as big as the atomic bomb is not something he can play with, but a unique weapon like a bazooka and a V1 missile, which is cheap and abundant, can be registered and produced in the United States. After Pearl Harbor, China has been an ally of Britain and the United States, and they always have to recognize the patent of weapons, which is nothing more than how much they collect from the patent law under the condition of agreeing to the production of other manufacturers.

The V1 missile is just training, if Susan has the ability, Braun's V2 missile can also find a way to steal information, and funding is naturally not a problem - get the information and recruit a few people to build a shelf first, and then persuade the US Army or Navy to fund research and development, of course, Wall Street can also find venture capitalists, as long as the Allies are sure that the Germans already have such weapons, it is impossible not to attach importance to this kind of themselves, and finally, considering that ballistic missiles are not something that private individuals can afford, they can package and sell this project when the time is right. In addition, jet aircraft can be operated in a similar way, the concern is to steal German information, find a way to get it before the Germans know its important value, and then finance its development and resale.

In the café with few people, Li Kongrong looked at Susan in front of him with a light in his eyes - if she could get information on V2 missiles and jet engines, she would really make a fortune.

After a night of fighting, there were no Japanese soldiers on the beach, some were just Japanese corpses covered with the beach, and columns of Japanese prisoners, including army and navy, who soaked in the sea for most of the night, many of whom were rescued by fishing boats. The precept that the Japanese army could not surrender had long since been completely dissolved in hunger and cold.

Looking at these embarrassed Japanese soldiers, Gu Zhutong, the deputy commander of the Third Theater of Operations who came in a hurry, stood at the head of the Jinshan Acropolis, looking at the hazy beach below, and overhead was an umbrella held by an adjutant-it was precisely because of the rain that the Japanese planes did not wreak havoc on Jinshanwei anymore. "How many captives?" He asked, pointing down.

"Report to the commander: More than 2,700 were caught, all of them were caught from the sea, and then there were hundreds of wounded soldiers." Zhang Fakui did not answer, but looked at Liu Jianxu, commander of the 10th Group Army, and Liu Jianxu looked at Tao Liu, commander of the 62nd Division.

"Well caught!" Gu Zhutong laughed rarely. "Your army on the right has won a great victory, and the left side has also set up a defensive heart, and the chairman of the committee has also breathed a sigh of relief. Now all over the country are gongs, drums and firecrackers for Zhu Jie, and Nanjing is already preparing for the Zhu Jie Conference! ”

Gu Zhutong came to visit on behalf of Chang Kaishen, and also inspected the defense of Hangzhou Bay. After saying these words of commendation, he looked at Chen Jiliang again and said, "Brother Jiliang, do you think this Japanese is still here?" ”

"I don't think it's going to come again." Chen Jiliang said. "This time, the Japanese army and navy have suffered heavy losses, and our army is on early alert in the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, so I am afraid that they will not come again. However, more than 1,000 people of the 18th Division who went ashore fled to Pudong at night, and it was very likely that these people would be picked up by the Japanese navy. ”

The battle of annihilation of the Japanese army ashore was not successfully completed, the Kunisaki detachment, which did not escape, was eaten by the 62nd Division last night, and the remnants of the 114th Wing that went ashore in the Quangong Pavilion on the west side were also wiped out by the 63rd Division, only the remnants of the two wings of the 18th Division that landed in the east fled at night, and they did not dare to go deep into the mainland, but ran along the coast to Pudong, which is a few roads with the Japanese Kou hundreds of years ago, Chen Jiliang does not know if these people have a radio station, if there is, the Japanese Navy will definitely take them back.

"The 8th Army is already encircled and annihilated." It was Lieutenant General Huang Qixiang, deputy commander of the 8th Group Army, who spoke and saw that most of the credit had been taken away by the Navy and the 10th Group Army, and he only felt red-eyed. This time, the 10th Group Army is really developed, not to mention the captured Japanese weapons, but the piles of Japanese corpses washed up by the tide, equipment, clothing, and yellow-skinned high-top military boots, all of which are a lot of good things. Thinking of these things, Huang Qixiang suddenly suggested: "Commander Chen, there must be countless Japanese cannons and machine guns in the sea, can the navy catch some of them?" That's all good stuff. ”

"This ......" Chen Jiliang swept over Tao Guang, who was a little uneasy -- yesterday afternoon he asked the navy to assist in salvaging the Japanese weapons on the sunken ship, and secretly everyone discussed the plan: the 28th Army will send people, and the navy will send people to guide them, and everyone will divide the account of what they have caught. There is a deep trough at the bottom of the Jinshanwei Sea, and many transport ships have sunk into the deep trough, and there is no salvage for them, and some of the shallow ones can be fished out, just because they are worried that the Japanese Navy will soon come to retaliate. ”

"Revenge?" Gu Zhutong was also a little surprised, "Will the Japanese come back?" ”

"We sank several of their cruisers and destroyers, and the batteries only had six-inch cannons, and any battleship could knock them out." Chen Jiliang said without worry.

"That'...... And what about mines and torpedoes? "Gu Zhutong listened to yesterday's battle report, so naturally he will not forget these two weapons to kill the enemy." The Japanese are not afraid of our torpedoes? ”

"Commander Gu may have forgotten that the mines are set up in the sea four kilometers offshore, although they are set deep, but the cruiser cannot enter, and the destroyer can come in, but his guns are small and cannot hit the battery. The torpedoes were placed on Dajinshan Island, which was six kilometers from the land, and the range of the torpedoes at the effective speed was only 14 kilometers, which meant that we could not do anything about the Japanese warships twenty kilometers away. The Japanese battleships opened fire at a distance of twenty kilometers, calibrated by aircraft, and the two forward batteries were likely to be knocked out by them. Chen Jiliang counted the possibility of Japan's retaliation, and heard that Gu Zhutong felt a chill in his heart, he is now on the beach, if the little devil comes to shoot, it will really be ......

"Brother Ji Liang, is it possible for the Japanese to land after knocking out the fort?" It was Zhang Fakui who asked questions, and he really saw the strength of the navy in this battle. As a result of this battle, half of the Japanese troops were drowned, and the remaining half were killed by artillery, and the 28th Army only wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army after the shelling last night.

"The fixed depth of the mine is about 3.5 to 4 meters, and it can reach 7.5 meters at high tide, which is also the reason why the Japanese army has not found mines in several previous reconnaissances, and the destroyers they sent do not have enough draft." Chen Jiliang said, "But this is only a destroyer, and the draft of a transport ship of two or three thousand tons is more than five or six meters, and the battery can be knocked out, but the mines cannot be knocked out." Then there are the torpedoes, Dajinshan Island is a mountain, no matter how big the gun barrels of the Japanese battleships are, they can't knock down an entire mountain, and it is impossible for them to land again, at most they will go ashore from elsewhere and make a roundabout attack. ”

Shore artillery, mines, torpedoes, this is a whole defense system, in fact, it would be better if there were two more submarines and planes. Don't dare to do it at the moment, airplanes are impossible, submarines can be had, but unfortunately submarines are still in German dockyards. When Zhang Fakui and the others put their hearts back into their stomachs, Chen Jiliang suddenly remembered the two submarines ordered by Germany, and this thought accompanied him back to Nanjing.

"Jinshan, our army dares to sacrifice! Knock knock knock ......; Wipe out 100,000 Japanese invaders! Knock knock knock ......; Shao Bao Yingwu is still there! Knock knock knock ......; Surely the Japanese will see the god of Yama! "The procession holding banners ...... beating gongs and drums on Nanjing's Zhongshan Road, with a dozen social elites in suits and coats at the front, followed by a large group of students in Zhongshan suits, and then followed by Nanjing citizens in various clothes. These people carried a large gold-lettered plaque that read 'Shao Bao Reincarnated' and went directly to the Admiralty -- the government gazette and newspapers released yesterday described in detail the details of the Jinshanwei victory, and in order not to expose the Japanese traitor Rokuro Takano, they also deliberately announced the Navy's minelaying plan three months ago.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was prosperous, and there was a lot of bad news, and the victory of Jinshanwei was like a beam of light in the darkness that illuminated hundreds of millions of people and lifted the hearts of the military and people across the country. The next day, a plaque of 'Shao Bao Reincarnated' was rushed out overnight, and just like that, such a group of people beat gongs and drums to send the plaque to the Admiralty.

"Brother Houfu, the virtuous citizen students outside have sent a plaque!" Lu Deyuan of the Navy Counselor's Office hurriedly came to Chen Shaokuan's office. At this time, Chen Shaokuan was worried about the Ninghai - after this time it came out to break diplomatic relations, the entire Japanese Navy pounced, plus Jin Shanwei, the Japanese really did not destroy Ninghai and did not return to Hong Kong.

"What?" Chen Shaokuan, who was looking at the world charts, had not yet recovered from the Ninghai, and saw that Lu Deyuan was a little dazed.

"The student citizens outside have sent plaques to celebrate the victory of Jinshanwei!" Major General Lu Deyuan looked at Chen Shaokuan and smiled, "What about Shiying?" ”

"Seyoung won't be back until the afternoon." Only then did Chen Shaokuan realize that the gongs and drums outside shook the sky, and the sound of firecrackers sounded. "I'd better go."

Outside the Admiralty, the crowd of marchers had already blocked the gate of the Admiralty, and the guards of the two wooden pavilions at the gate saw that they had come to congratulate Jie to deliver the plaque, so they naturally would not be embarrassed, and a few of them stood more straight.

When the firecrackers were about to finish, Chen Shaokuan, who had deliberately changed the general's dress, walked out of the gate of the Admiralty, although there was no guard of honor, but when the people saw him coming out with people, they immediately made way of a passage, and at this time the gongs and drums beat even louder, and thousands of people were applauding.

With Chen Shaokuan's temperament, the most fearless thing is to act on the big scene, and he even hopes that he can become the focus of the people and be noticed by everyone. It's a pity that the people didn't like the navy in the past for various reasons, but now the Battle of Jinshanwei can be regarded as completely correcting the name of the navy. Amid the applause of thousands of people, Chen Shaokuan took off his Napoleonic hat and greeted the crowd in all directions.

The plaque represents the voice of the people, so it is the social elite who comes forward. After the firecrackers burned out, Zhang Jiluan, the president of Ta Kung Pao, who was at the forefront, stepped forward to talk to Chen Shaokuan. "Minister Chen: Your troops won a great victory at Jinshanwei, annihilating 100,000 Japanese invaders, sinking 10 Japanese warships, more than 50 transport ships, and countless large and small ships, which is really a blessing for our country and 40,000 people. Today, the old man is entrusted by the people, and he specially sends a gold plaque of 'Shao Bao Reincarnation'......"

"To this day, the navy has only contributed a modest contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it is really a shame to receive this heavy gift!" The golden plaque of 'Shao Bao Reincarnation' was raised when Zhang Jiluan spoke, and Chen Shaokuan looked at the four golden characters with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although Qi Shaobao is an army, his prestige for guarding the sea frontier and defeating the Japanese is well known to the world.

"How dare you not be! Without the navy, I am afraid that the city of Nanjing will also be lost. "Zhang Jiluan has done his homework, if the 10th Army lands in Jinshanwei, the front of the army will be directed at 700,000 countries in Shanghai. The back of the army, even if it is not surrounded, will inevitably retreat in disarray, and not only will Shanghai be completely lost, but Nanjing will also be in danger. Not to mention the fact that the navy completely annihilated the Japanese troops that landed, and also destroyed the Japanese fleet, it was really a credit to the party state. Zhang Jiluan said that he dared to be, and the rest of the virtuous people also said that they deserved it. Seeing this, Chen Shaokuan was no longer polite, and asked his subordinates to receive this golden plaque of 'less supplement and rebirth' in public.

"May I ask if General Chen Jiliang is here?" A reporter with a camera around his neck asked, he was taking pictures when the Navy received the plaque just now.

"General Chen is still on the front line." Chen Shaokuan did not want to reveal Chen Jiliang's whereabouts. "He will lead the navy to hold Jinshanwei all the time, protect the sea frontier, and ensure the safety of the flanks of hundreds of thousands of army brothers in Shanghai."

Chen Jiliang is not there, Chen Shaokuan is a star, and as soon as he said this, thousands of people applauded in unison. In the applause, Chen Shaokuan's words were not finished, and he said again: "Although China's navy has been built for decades, it is still weak due to military spending, and it is not as good as the Japanese navy, which has hundreds of millions of military expenditures every year, but our navy will not admit defeat!" Jinshanwei used the main guns of the Pinghai ship, the main guns of the Hairong, the main guns of the Haichou and the main guns of the Haichen that had been sunk in the battle, they were all sunk, but their guns were still there!

And in the eastern Pacific, Pinghai's sister ship, the Ninghai, was still harassing Japanese merchant ships. I heard that the entire Japanese navy was dispatched to sink her, but they must not find her. What is the Republic of China Navy? Never admit defeat and always fight is the navy of the Republic of China! (Applause, long and intense applause) (To be continued.) )
