*******************************************************************

The winter counteroffensive did not change much from history in the initial stage, after all, each army and department had its own habitual style of play, and it was not easy to change it, despite the specific instructions of the national government.

However, as the counteroffensive continued, the armies found that although they had undergone retraining, they were still inferior to the Japanese army in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, and the larger the scale of the battle, the more troops the Japanese army participated in the battle, and the greater the damage caused by the heavy weapons attached to it.

The main battle between the national * army and the Japanese army is often more victorious than defeated, and the level of command, coordination, and cooperation are important reasons, and the gap in heavy weapons is also a defect that is difficult to make up. However, if it is a battle at the division and regiment level, where light weapons are mainly used, the gap is not particularly obvious.

Therefore, the armies began to pay attention to the suggestions and tactics of the national government, continued to carry out rotational operations on the scale of corps, divisions, and regiments, and turned their targets against the enemy to the weak points at the level of wings, brigades, and squadrons. Such a change made the winter counteroffensive last longer, and the scale of the battles was small but the number of battles was large, and it also made Yang Tianfeng's goal achieve most of it.

In winter, large-scale training, large-scale military training, and large-scale military competitions, large-scale emergency training and large-scale expansion of technical arms, large-scale production of weapons and equipment, large-scale construction of factories, and large-scale construction of various facilities......

Although there is no major war, the Yongcheng base area is extremely hot and busy in this winter, and the number, equipment and combat strength of the army are constantly improving, but this is not something that outsiders can know, and the most striking thing is the blooming of civilian factories and enterprises.

Relying on the machinery and equipment produced by the military factories, as well as the glycerin, rubber, dyes and other products produced by the coal chemical plants, toothpaste, tooth powder factories, rubber shoes, raincoat factories, weaving factories, garment factories, cigarette factories, enamel factories, soap factories, paper factories, and so on, with the encouragement of preferential policies and the free technical support, they have been set up and built in the base areas at an astonishing speed.

Although these factories are newly built, and the production capacity and product quality are not satisfactory, these can be improved. Based on the scarcity of materials at that time, the prospects for development were also bright.

The demand for raw materials for civilian factories has greatly promoted the development of the coal chemical industry. At the suggestion of Yang Tianfeng, the coal chemical plant sent technical personnel to support and help several civilian factories to build simple coal production, mainly to produce coke, tar, kerosene, glycerin, oxalsulfonic acid and other primary products.

Let it benefit the people, so as to make the most full use of private capital and manpower, achieve the mutual promotion of upstream and downstream industries, increase fiscal and taxation and people's income, enrich civilian use, and resist the economic aggression and blockade of Japan and puppets......

In fact, it was not only Yang Tianfeng who paid attention to economic development, but also the national government in the rear and the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas also realized that the economy was the pillar that supported the military. But if one policy approach is wrong, bureaucracy and corruption will ruin most of its efforts; The other is the lack of capital and technology, as well as the lack of a base that can provide a stable and secure environment for development.

Of course, Yang Tianfeng also has his own limits to the benefit of the people, and the coal refining and pharmaceutical industries are firmly controlled in his hands. The antimalarial drug chloroquine, the anti-infective drug sulfonamide, the Black Death's special drug antimony gluconate, and the new anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid, some are transitioning from laboratory production to large-scale production, and some have been able to mass production, which is a huge profit. Not only at home but also abroad can also get good sales.

Huge profits are huge profits, Yang Tianfeng needs money to develop the military industry, produce weapons, and expand the army, and he has never regarded himself as a savior. Of course, the so-called windfall profits are compared with the production cost of drugs, and if they are compared with imported drugs, it is still a lot worse.

Taking over the government affairs of the counties in western Henan also went smoothly, and Sun Tongxuan and Li Tiejun, who were stationed there, gave Yang Tianfeng substantial support with guns.

The reason is very simple, as soldiers, they are not qualified to interfere in government affairs, and Yang Tianfeng is the best choice. According to Yang Tianfeng's promise and guarantee, they will receive food and salary supplements from local endowments, and the pensions for the wounded and fallen soldiers will also be the same as those of the New Seventh Army, and there will also be supplements and reinforcements in weapons and equipment.

Miscellaneous army, since the government doesn't pay attention to it, it can only rely on itself to improve its treatment. Yang Tianfeng's New Seventh Army should also be a miscellaneous brand, but it can be seen that people are doing a good job, and their weapons, equipment, food, and materials are not worse than those of the Central Army, or even better. And the number of the New Seventh Army has far exceeded the establishment, and Yang Tianfeng can afford to raise it, they are no more than one, but they are still living tightly.

Relying on the achievements of the army to make the government look at it differently, of course, this is a good way, but if the food and salary are not sufficient and the weapons are not refined, what can be used to win war achievements?

Sun Tongxuan had long seen clearly that once he cooperated with Yang Tianfeng, the equipment level of his troops would be improved. As long as he works hard and doesn't play with his heart, Yang Tianfeng is still very generous. By now, the Third Army had almost doubled the number of machine guns alone, not to mention other weapons.

Ma Biao of the Eighth Cavalry Division is the second to realize this, from very poor equipment to basically the same as other national * army units, how long did it take? As for the war damage, fighting devils is fighting for the country, isn't that something that should be shared?

Li Tiejun came relatively late, but he also received a batch of weapons and ammunition supplied by Yang Tianfeng before the winter counteroffensive. Moreover, he was under the command of Sun Tongxuan, and he had a good impression of Yang Tianfeng, and he was more accustomed to obeying orders.

Leveling the garrison and taking over government affairs, Yang Tianfeng can be regarded as solving a major matter, and the time has also entered 1940 in the great counteroffensive of the national * army in various places.

……………

New Year's Day passed very plainly, and people at that time did not pay attention to this solar calendar festival, there was no atmosphere, and Yang Tianfeng couldn't lift his spirits, and he didn't even go home.

Telegraphs and telephones have connected several major counties and important places in the Henan-Anhui border region, and whether it is military coordination and command, or government affairs requests and reports, as well as technical guidance for military industry, coal chemical industry, and other industries, it is very convenient and fast, and there is no need for Yang Tianfeng to run around and trek around. The most important thing is the training and maturity of officers, which has reduced Yang Tianfeng's great work pressure.

Under such conditions, Yang Tianfeng originally had the conditions to live in Haozhou for a long time and get along with his family day and night. But he still put most of his time on the military industry in the mountains of Mangdang, in addition to the development of the and the training of pilots, he is also carrying out an epoch-making research and development, to sound the clarion call for the microelectronics revolution.

The invention of the transistor can be traced back to 1929, when engineer Lillianfeld had already patented a transistor. However, due to the state of the art at the time, the materials used to make such devices were not of sufficient purity to make such transistors unavailable.

It wasn't until December 1947 that the world's first practical semiconductor device was finally available at Bell Labs. In the first test, it amplified the audio signal a hundredfold, but it was shorter than a matchstick but thicker.

Based on the current manufacturing process, Yang Tianfeng does not expect to manufacture such a small semiconductor device, but hopes to replace the large and power-consuming electron tube with a relatively small electronic device with low power consumption.

If this research and development is successful, first of all, the military's communication equipment can be miniaturized and portable, and the communication distance and quality can be improved; The second is to make it possible to develop radio proximity fuses.

Hehe, in fact, the radio proximity fuse is not what Yang Tianfeng needs, what he wants to develop most is infrared night vision devices and radio navigation equipment.

Due to the air superiority of the Japanese army, the New Seventh Army basically moved and attacked at night in several operations. Yang Tianfeng believed that this tradition of night raids should be inherited and carried forward in order to offset the firepower superiority of the Japanese army in a clear state of vision to the greatest extent.

Similar to the appearance of the late World War II, the German vampire individual night vision device and the American T120 night vision device are both active night vision devices, characterized by relatively simple structural principles, and the disadvantage is that they cannot leave infrared irradiation, and the irradiated light may be discovered by the other party's observation instruments to expose the location.

To deal with Japanese devils, the shortcomings of active night vision devices are negligible and non-existent. In fact, the problem that Yang Tianfeng wants to solve is the huge power consumption of infrared night vision devices. Producing and manufacturing large-capacity batteries is one way; With transistors, it's easier to solve the problem.

As for radio navigation, as early as 1911, the orientation of radio waves was studied, and in the First World War, the original ground-based radio direction finding navigation was used when the German zeppelin bombed London, and the airborne radio direction finder was only put into practical use in the twenties, and it was developed rapidly during World War II.

The first offensive navigation system to appear was the German Knickebein (meaning "bent leg") positioning system. Subsequently, Germany developed the X-Gera:T system and the One-Eyed-Y-Gera:T system, and during the Luftwaffe's "Moonlight Sonata" operation, British cities such as Coventry were bombed devastatingly.

Britain, which suffered from bombing, was not far behind, and successively developed the GEE system, the OB oboe system, and the H2S terrain radar.

Without interference, the accuracy of these navigation systems was corrective at the time, with an recorded error of only 18 meters at 180 miles, or 1% of the distance.

Yang Tianfeng had long conceived of using ultra-light * gray planes and old-fashioned biplanes to bomb the Japanese airfield at night when the time was ripe, so as to eliminate the air superiority of the devils locally in order to conduct a large-scale ground battle.

The so-called ripe time naturally included a navigation system that could instruct the aircraft to be on the correct course and arrive at the Japanese airfield at night; After the bombing is over, it can guide the plane home safely.

It seems that the task is heavy and arduous, but Yang Tianfeng's scheduled time for a major counteroffensive was after 1942, when the devils were caught in a two-sided battle and fell into a passive position on the southern battlefield, and then it would be the time when he would punch and beat the devils hard.

From this point of view, everything Yang Tianfeng is doing now is paving the way and preparing. Because he believes in the saying that "success is reserved for those who are prepared".

Abandoning germanium, which is expensive and hard to find, Yang Tianfeng started with silicon, which is widely available in nature, and began the process of manufacturing semiconductor transistors.

In World War II, high-frequency crystal detectors for radars have begun to be made out of silicon. However, the purity of the silicon used is very low and it is not monocrystalline, and the effect is not very ideal. It was not until the first silicon transistor was produced in 1950 that people's interest in preparing high-quality silicon single crystals was raised, and continuous inventions and creations began.

For Yang Tianfeng, the method of preparing high-quality silicon single crystal is not a problem, and he wants to use the hydrogen-reduced trichlorosilane method that can be industrially produced in the future. Although limited to technical conditions, the silicon epitaxial growth single crystal technology cannot be applied for the time being, but the purity of the produced silicon has met the conditions for the production of general transistors, rectifiers, thyristors and other components.

Vaporizers, reduction furnaces, temperature control systems, distillation towers, precision analyzers, glass processing machines and other machinery and equipment are either purchased or self-made, using the construction experience of arsenals, precision machine tools and coal chemical plants, Yang Tianfeng hired several experts from the Central Electrical Equipment Factory, and stuffed in some young people with excellent character and learning selected by himself, and finally was able to establish an electronic laboratory.

Such a stall has been built, but to produce results on transistors, Yang Tianfeng conservatively estimates that it will be a year later. Of course, with the help of the manufacturing equipment and technology of vacuum electron tubes imported from the United States, the Central Electrical Equipment Factory has obtained the advanced technology provided by Yang Tianfeng, but the production and manufacturing of electron tubes have made significant progress.

Considering the development cycle of transistors and the fact that transistors cannot completely replace electron tubes, Yang Tianfeng has already spent a huge amount of money to purchase vacuum electron tube manufacturing equipment from the United States through the government's resource committee. According to the latest information, the equipment has been shipped to Yangon, Myanmar.

Yang Tianfeng had no choice but to go back to the relationship to dredge. Otherwise, thousands of tons of materials piled up in Yangon to be transported, relying on the transportation capacity of the national government and all kinds of shady scenes of transporting goods at that time, it is estimated that the Japanese hit Burma, and the machinery and equipment he wanted have not yet been shipped!

Is there still a shady curtain on transporting goods? Others don't know, but Yang Tianfeng knows it in his heart. I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles have been involved in the materials ordered from foreign countries, and I don't know how many of them have filled their private pockets.

At the time of the national crisis, there are people who work hard and people who make sacrifices, but there are always resentful and helpless things happen. In times of peace, people may be able to endure, after all, they have not yet reached the point where they cannot live without raising the rod; However, when foreign aggression and wars are raging, internal problems will be magnified, people's consciousness will also be awakened, and dissatisfaction and resentment will be further amplified.

Fortunately, the Yongcheng base area was created from scratch, and it was snatched from the hands of devils and puppet soldiers, as if it was starting from scratch, with a simple environment and a small scope. In addition, Yang Tianfeng has always attached importance to fundamental transformation and strict application of laws, so that he did not fall into the same situation as other national control areas.
