Xiaolu received a telegram yesterday with only four words: "Let the tiger return to the mountain," and he was very happy to learn that Zhang Yongxing's plan had succeeded.

In order to cover up the truth, he still reported the news that the Japanese officers had escaped in the heavy snow, and Zhang Yongxing recognized the wrong place because he was marching in the great north wind, which led to the loss of the soldiers and the Japanese officers' escape. Zhang Yongxing bears some responsibility for this and has a demerit.

In order to protect Zhang Yongxing, Xiaolu quickly pulled out the demerit punishment from the file, and was ready to secretly report the matter to the high-level officials in northern Shaanxi. Of course, I have to find an opportunity to report, and I am not going to say it for the time being.

Why put these high-ranking Japanese officers?

Now, the Northeast Coalition carried out a strategic deception operation in the last spring, which was quite successful, ensuring that Japan dared to start a war against the Soviet Union, and that it was expanding its scale. If the Japanese army still wants to take action against the Soviet Union now, I am afraid that it will have to concentrate its forces first and pacify Yichun.

What about the future? If the Northeast Coalition Army is too ostentatious and the Japanese army regards the Northeast Coalition Army as the biggest henchman, then it will not only threaten the survival of the Northeast Coalition Army, but also affect Japan's southward expansion strategy. In this way, if the Northeast coalition army is exhausted, it will at least cheapen the United States.

Historically, in the second half of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party saw this and adopted a prudent policy, so that the crazy Japanese would attack the United States and march into the South Seas.

Xiaolu is reluctant to stop this process. How to get the Japanese army to continue this line of thinking, then it is necessary to change Japan's view of the Chinese battlefield, and make it clear that you just have to fight it well, and I have to passively wait for the change of the world pattern.

Brainwashing the Japanese officers before letting them go was the first step in this plan.

At present, the situation of the entire Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army is very good. It's not a good thing.

The first is that the guns are all at once, and the bottleneck of army expansion has disappeared.

The Japanese-style equipment brought back by Li Sen, Han Dengying, and other troops has been distributed to the troops of Zhao Shangzhi, Zhou Baozhong, Yang Jingyu, Wei Zhengmin, and even Wang Wenbin, Zhang Binglin, Cai Jimin, and Bai Junshi. At present, these troops have people in their hands and have sufficient resources, but they lack weapons, and after obtaining weapons, they begin to reorganize and expand the army and train the army.

The troops along the Heilongjiang River have been replaced with newly acquired Soviet-made weapons. The latest Soviet equipment in exchange for pharmaceutical production technology has been exchanged for Li Lanchi and Wan Quance's troops, and the Japanese-style equipment they have exchanged has also equipped many other troops. By now, the entire army has finally gotten rid of the situation of fewer weapons and more people, and even the militia has weapons.

At present, in addition to distributing weapons, he has already transported a set of newly purchased bullet equipment and explosives equipment to the base area on the west bank of the Nenjiang River, where he began to use the newly picked up bullet casings to make bullets.

The opening of a manufacturing base on the west bank of the Nenjiang River is part of a larger plan. It is no longer enough to have just one Yichun, and in order to develop the Daxinganling base area, it is necessary to develop to the south.

Second, some manufacturing initiatives are also steadily being rolled out.

Xiaolu is not in Yichun City at this time, but in Foshan County.

Walking along the Heilongjiang River in the lower reaches of Foshan County, walking about less than 20 miles, you can see that there is a hill by the river. There was a sandy beach on the riverside of the hill, which was dug up, and a dock and a pier were built.

When hitting Harbin, Xiaolu grabbed a few steamboats. The steamboats are now docked at the dock, and it is winter, and the ice on the Heilongjiang River has begun to drift, and the steamboats have been pulled to the shore.

Ships are being built in the dock, several large wooden boats and several large iron-hulled boats have been built and are also parked on the shore, and several small wooden boats are still in the dock. In the summer, relying on these boats, Yichun's fleet fished on the river and harvested abundantly.

Actually, all this is superficial, the house behind the dock is actually the entrance to a larger dock, the dock has been dug into the mountains, and in the cave there is a huge factory, and in the factory there is a strange machine, a submarine, is being built.

The best ingots newly produced by the mill are forged into steel plates here. Because of the small scale of forging equipment, only a limited number of steel plates can be made, and those of unqualified quality are taken out to make iron-hulled ships, and good steel plates are used to build submarines. In the past, the engine of the submarine was bought, and the installation of this manufacturing has failed many times, but now the diesel engine that has been removed from several Soviet tanks has been obtained, and the technicians have successfully tested it, please take a look at the road.

In order to conceal their true purpose, Luo Cequn and Xiaolu went to a farm near the county seat of Foshan during the day to attend their women's conference. The meeting was actually about comfort women, many of whom had recovered from their psychological wounds and were willing to cooperate with Yichun to recount the crimes of the Japanese army and testify in the future. Some Japanese women are reluctant to testify and are willing to dictate only the material. The good news is that a Japanese woman is willing to expose the crimes of the Japanese army and is willing to testify.

The submarine is a secret project, and at night, Luo Cequn and Xiaolu took two people and quietly went to the dock in a jeep, and entered the underground tunnel and underground workshop from an air defense post on the mountain.

The workshop is five or six meters high, with several iron shelves with trusses on top and a block with a pulley hoist on top. Below is a large pool of water ten meters wide, and in the pool floats a big black guy, which is the submarine.

Xiao Lu was overjoyed and said, "This is No. 2?" What do you think? ”

Luo Cequn: "With less weapons, you can run 2,000 kilometers." Since the successful testing of the No. 1 Pocket Submarine, we have overcome many technical difficulties, and at present, the only weapons are machine guns that have been removed from the aircraft and can be fired from the surface. Torpedoes are being developed, we have already successfully fired several torpedoes, the next step is to mount the torpedo on the submarine. There are a lot of problems to solve. ”

Xiao Lu was overjoyed and said, "What are the results of the recent diving depth test?" Number One must have the exhaust pipe exposed, that is, it cannot dive. ”

Luo Cequn: "No. 2 can dive five or six meters without any problem, and sail underwater for dozens of minutes. What do you think? ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay, great progress. Fortunately, there is no shortage of talent. Keep going, this is a success, we can use it as a training ship and build another 500-ton one. If you can build five, you can sail thousands of kilometers. If I find a way to resupply at sea, I can attack the Japanese mainland. The crew also stepped up their training. ”

Luo Cequn: "As for the crew, we just stopped in the Soviet Union on the warship we snatched, or the transport ship. Although we have instructors, it is inconvenient and difficult to train the crew. ”

At this time, the technicians in the workshop had already lined up and asked Xiaolu to speak. Xiaolu said: "Brothers, hard work! In the future, it will be up to you to attack the Japanese mainland! ”

The crowd cheered.

Xiaolu said: "You have merits, and you can't celebrate them like other troops." However, the history textbooks of the future will be your credit book! ”

The crowd cheered again.

Xiaolu said: "In the future, what equipment you need, just bring it up." No matter how tight the budget is, it must be solved! ”

The crowd cheered again.

Xiaolu said: "Don't say more. I'll have to go inside the submarine and sit in it for a while. If you can go out and run in Heilongjiang, it will be enjoyable. ”

Luo Cequn: "It's no problem to run, the water is deep enough now." It's just that it can't float up, because the river has been blocked. ”

The trail said: "No sailing." I'll just sit down for a moment and look at the internals. You introduced me to it. ”

The trail went into the submarine.

The submarine looks very young, and a lot of the equipment looks rudimentary. But if you look closely, you'll see a difference. If there is a future generation of submarine experts, you will be amazed that this submarine has applied so many advanced technologies! Such a small electronic device! Sonar!

Today, this submarine embodies Yichun's most advanced technology, every screw, every tube, every piece of furniture, every instrument, is Yichun's most advanced. A number of products have been newly built for the needs of the weapons industry. These factories are hardly profitable and are completely burning money. Fortunately, there are small roads that continue to provide advanced technology, otherwise it would be difficult to build an industrial system, let alone advanced weapons such as airplanes and submarines.

Submarines, warships, and airplanes and tanks are the key modern weapons on the trail. If you want to win World War II, these weapons are important. Because Japan is an island nation, submarine warships are especially important. Submarines are a weapon for sneak attacks, so Xiaolu attaches great importance to them.

In the early days, submarines were submersible vessels, of course, able to explore the underwater world, and soon, their military value was discovered and valued, so submarines developed rapidly.

In 1648, Bishop John of Chester? Wilkins wrote the book "Mathematical Magic", in which he wrote about his vision of the military superiority of submarines: first, privacy: to go near any coast of the world, without detection and control. Second, security: pirates and robbers cannot rob; Tidal wind and rain could not affect the surface of the sea, and ice and frost could not endanger the crew of the submarine. Thirdly, to effectively resist the enemy's navy, destroy and sink surface ships. Fourth, to support places surrounded by water and near water; Deliver supplies silently. Fifth, it can be used as a useful underwater test site.

The first military submarine in history appeared in the American Revolutionary War. David of Yale University in the United States? Bushinaire built the Turtle, which housed only one person to operate the rudder and propellers. In 1776, the Turtle attempted to attack the HMS Eagle of the British Royal Navy, but unfortunately failed. The first submarine in history to successfully sink an enemy ship in the American Civil War. Horis? Lao Sheng? Hanli built the Hanley submarine with a crew of eight and a hand-cranked handle-driven submarine. A bomb pack sticks out of its outer end, which explodes upon contact with an enemy ship. At about 9 p.m. on February 17, 1864, it managed to sink the frigate Hausatonic of the Northern Confederacy, but it itself sank due to the whirlpool created by the explosion.

In 1863, France first replaced manpower with the storage of compressed air, and built the first non-human submarine "Diver" In 1879, the British priest Raven Lund? George Calede built the Resurrection, about 15 meters long, cylindrical in the middle, conical at the ends, propelled by steam when navigating the water, and the remaining steam in the boiler for diving, it was the first submarine driven by a heat engine, and had the appearance of a modern submarine.

In the 80s of the 19th century, submarines have developed rapidly, and the United States, Britain, France, Sweden, Italy, Germany and Russia have invested manpower, material and financial resources in research and development. In 1878, the American John? Philips? Holland began to build submarines. In April 1900, the U.S. government purchased its submarine Holland and incorporated it into the Navy. This is the first submarine in history to be officially put into service.

During the First World War, the range of activity of submarines developed from nearshore to ocean. The submarine strategies of Britain and Germany were different, and Britain mainly used to blockade enemy ports, but they were not successful due to technical limitations. Germany, on the other hand, engaged in unrestricted submarine warfare in an attempt to disrupt trade and suppress the British shipping lines before negotiating peace. However, the British continued to improve the escort measures, and the American destroyers joined the escort in large numbers, and the German submarines were very difficult to succeed and suffered great losses. During the four years of World War I, German U-boats sank millions of Allied ships, a very impressive record.

During World War II, Germany was severely limited by the Treaty of Versailles. With the cooperation of overseas manufacturers and the development of Germany, with its existing experience in World War I, the German submarine force still developed to the strongest in the world during World War II, and built more than 1,150 submarines before and after the largest scale. In the whole of World War II, the Germans lost 807 submarines and sank 2,882 Allied merchant ships and combat ships, totaling 1,440 tons. There were 264 heavy hits.

And Japan, the United States, Great Britain are inferior to Germany. Japan began its own design in 1907 and planned to build submarines. After World War I, seven U-boats were acquired as a victorious power, thus absorbing German submarine technology, and Japanese submarines developed rapidly during the Taisho era. Before the start of World War II, Japan already possessed a wide range of powerful submarines. The United States has 314 submarines in service with the U.S. Navy, 111 of which were commissioned before 1941. During the war, 52 ships were destroyed and 3,505 people were killed. This was the highest rate of casualties in the United States during World War II. At the same time, American submarines sank 1,569 enemy ships with a total of 5.3 million tons. More than 200 warships, including 8 aircraft carriers.

British submarines sank 2 million tons of enemy ships in World War II, including 57 enemy warships. Britain lost 74 submarines.

In this era, although there are anti-submarine weapons, such as depth charges, there are also some anti-submarine tactics, such as judging the whereabouts of submarines according to periscopes, etc., submarines are still underwater hegemons and have great destructive power against surface ships.

Therefore, Yichun, driven by Xiaolu, attaches great importance to the navy, in addition to the Dalian detachment focusing on cultivating naval talents, Yichun is also actively building submarines.

It seems that the submarine construction has not achieved much, and the submarine built is not successful, and it has been criticized by many people, but when the submarine is built, some of the weapons built have become unexpected gains. Several factories began to manufacture these weapons, which made the opposition of some people much quieter.

Xiao Lu stayed at the submarine factory for a day and a night, studied some of the current problems with them, and left them with some technical points.

The next day, Xiaolu borrowed a Soviet-made military car and went to another place alone to see an old man.
