Chapter 232: Enthusiasm for the Enemy
New Seventh Army! Incorporate Sun Dianying's troops!
Yang Tianfeng took the telegram, and did not be overjoyed, but fell into a long thought. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With an official number, this is naturally a good thing. To explain in the language of later generations, that is, temporary workers have been regularized, and the state treasury has withdrawn funds.
Sun Dianying's troops have more than 10,000 people, and if they can be reorganized and digested, the military strength will be greatly improved, and the key is how to operate. Obviously, the government has removed as many obstacles as possible for him, and all that remains is a few minor problems.
"I want to break up the establishment of the original New Fifth Army, the officers will enter the training class, and the soldiers will be scattered to supplement the units." Yang Tianfeng had already made up his mind and looked up at Ma Yuming.
"As long as Sun Dianying and other senior officers are transferred according to the order, those middle and low-level officers and soldiers will be easy to deal with." Ma Yuming was very appreciative of Yang Tianfeng's method and said with a smile: "The New Fifth Army is conducting guerrilla operations behind enemy lines, and the situation is not good, and the officers and men are living very hard. Last winter, because of the shortage of cotton clothes, many people froze to death and suffered frostbite. ”
This is a reminder, Yang Tianfeng understands it, he actually thinks like this. In conducting guerrilla operations behind enemy lines, the National X Army was far inferior to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in terms of organization, mobilization, and propaganda, and it was certain that it was in a difficult situation. Therefore, finding a way to treat officers and men is indeed an effective means of subduing officers and men.
"And these materials, Chairman Jiang's praise and attention to Brother Yang, that's really nothing." Ma Yuming had already received instructions from Dai Li's secret telegram, and his attitude towards Yang Tianfeng became closer.
"I also want to thank Boss Dai for his kind words and great help!" Yang Tianfeng took the list of supplies, and expressed his gratitude while looking at it, "The return will definitely be there, and at this point, please rest assured Brother Ma, and tell Shangfeng." ”
"Isn't this the outside?" Ma Yuming waved his hand, paused, and asked tentatively: "How is the third lady's condition, do you need to ask a famous doctor from elsewhere for treatment?" ”
"It has improved, thank you Brother Ma for your concern." Yang Tianfeng said with a deep groan: "Brother Ma said last time that the development of the radar has begun. As the basis of electronic technology, the production of the Central Electrical Equipment Factory is not mentioned. ”
After the outbreak of the "918" incident, the Nationalist Government set up a "National Defense Design Committee" in November 1932 within the General Staff Headquarters in Nanjing, in order to strengthen its strategic arrangements for Japan. Later, the National Defense Design Committee merged with the Resources Department of the Ordnance Industry Administration, renamed the "Resources Committee", which was subordinate to the Military Commission and mainly managed the investigation, research, development and allocation of resources.
Strategic resources are the key to victory or defeat in a war, power resources are naturally important strategic resources, and the construction of the power industry is an important pillar to ensure national defense and people's livelihood. Whether electrical equipment can be self-sufficient is related to the degree of development of power resources.
In view of this, the National Government's Resources Committee listed the establishment of the Central Electrical Equipment Factory as one of the "Top Ten Factories and Mines" in the three-year plan for heavy industry.
In July 1936, the Resources Committee set up a preparatory committee at the Crystal Terrace on Zhujiang Road in Nanjing, and began to prepare for the establishment of the Central Electrical Equipment Factory, with Yun Zhen as the chairman, and planned to set up four factories to produce wires, cables, transceiver tubes, light bulbs, wired telephone equipment, transformers and switchgear, and to produce batteries and other products.
In March 1937, the Central Electrical Equipment Factory imported German production equipment and selected a site in Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, and began to break ground. However, with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Preparatory Committee of the Central Electrical Equipment Factory was moved from Nanjing to Xiangtan; In October 1938, after the fall of Wuhan, it was urgently moved to Guilin to continue production.
In the spring of 1939, China's homemade electron tube was met for the first time in Guilin; On July 11 of the same year, the Central Electrical Equipment Factory ended its preparatory work and officially announced its establishment.
Yang Tianfeng has a lot of information in his head, but because he has no relevant production equipment and has many difficulties in manufacturing by himself, he can only turn to external procurement or help capable factories to produce.
The fact that the Central Electrical Equipment Factory was able to manufacture transceiver tubes shows that it has reached a considerable level of technology and equipment. Yang Tianfeng took out some information, hoping that they could produce high-power three- and four-pole electron tubes or magnetrons, and even transistors that had not yet been developed.
With these electronic devices, not only can radar technology develop rapidly, but Yang Tianfeng will also be able to manufacture more high-tech weapons and equipment. For example, the automatic tracking radar of the fire control system, the radio proximity lead, and so on.
Of course, Ma Yuming didn't know Yang Tianfeng's long-term plan, and when he heard Yang Tianfeng ask, he immediately said that he would ask about the results and pay more attention to it.
"Brother Ma doesn't know that these electronic devices are extremely useful." Yang Tianfeng felt the need to explain and eliminate Ma Yuming's illiteracy, "Britain has invented a high-power magnetron, and if the ground and aircraft are equipped with this kind of magnetron microwave radar, our army will be of great help in air operations." And ......"
Ma Yuming seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he does pay more attention than before.
Yang Tianfeng felt quite helpless, the work efficiency was really anxious, but he really couldn't do anything except ask questions, except for recommending a few experts and scholars.
Actually, Yang Tianfeng is a little demanding.
At that time, China's industrial base was very weak, far behind that of Western countries, and it was in a war environment, and the environment for industrial development was 100 times worse than that of Western countries, and the development of industry depended almost entirely on the efforts of enthusiastic people.
Despite all the difficulties and dangers, the ancestors still had undiminished enthusiasm and continued to produce in an extremely difficult environment to ensure the supply of military and civilian supplies. Taking the Central Electrical Equipment Factory as an example, at that time, Japanese planes bombed almost every day in a vain attempt to destroy the rear industry of our country. Every time the plane bombed, everyone hid in the bomb shelter and waited for the alarm to be lifted before continuing production.
In order to finish their work early, the workers sometimes only sleep three or four hours a day, and some of them are tired and vomit several times. But everyone is hated and enthusiastic.
During the entire Anti-Japanese War, the Central Electrical Equipment Factory was faced with the shortage of wartime materials and the interruption of foreign procurement transportation lines, and through the independent research and development of researchers, it was able to produce a number of electrical equipment, breaking the deadlock of relying entirely on imports.
In the atmosphere of the Anti-Japanese War and the same hatred of the enemy at that time, there were many moving stories like the Central Electrical Equipment Factory. Taking Kunming as an example, as the rear of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to load the compatriots from all over the country who poured into Kunming and provide a large number of anti-Japanese war materials for the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, the peasants in Kunming and even the whole province worked hard to open up wasteland, produce and reduce food and clothing, which can be described as "the heavy responsibility of the world with a corner".
At the same time, the war brought a disaster to the whole country, but it also brought a rare development opportunity to Kunming. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, some enterprises from the mainland moved to Kunming, laying the foundation for the development of Kunming's modern industry and forming the four major industrial bases of Kunming -- Majie, Ciba, Haikou and Anning.
Many of the "firsts" of China's industry were born in Kunming: China's first cable, the first automobile, the first military telescope, and the first molten steel made by electric power......
After sending Ma Yuming away, Yang Tianfeng carefully looked at the list of materials to be transported, calculated the use value, and felt that it had greatly exceeded his expectations. It's just that I was puzzled by the generosity of the government.
More than 10 ****2 and 3 fighters in need of different degrees of maintenance, a number of aircraft parts, including various types of fighter engines that were damaged and shot down, etc.; There are also minerals such as tungsten and antimony, guns and ammunition...... There is also personnel assistance, including skilled workers and technicians from various arsenals, as well as Nanyang mechanics repeatedly recruited by Yang Tianfeng, and even a group of flight cadets.
Damaged planes and aircraft parts, Yang Tianfeng is useful, but the government feels that they are worthless. At that time, China's aircraft industry was not only constrained by the backwardness of basic industries, but also poor in terms of logistics support such as aircraft maintenance.
It is important to know that during the battle, the aircraft will either be attacked by the enemy, or due to continuous flight, there will be great wear and tear on the machinery and equipment. This is not a big problem in industrially developed countries, the parts that should be replaced can be replaced quickly, and the places that should be repaired can be repaired quickly.
But these little things became an insurmountable obstacle for the National X Army, because the National X Army did not have a complete aviation industry, parts could not be manufactured, and even slightly larger repairs could not be completed.
What is even more helpless is that the planes of the National X Army are purchased from many countries, and the standards of various aircraft are different, and the logistical pressure is extremely great. In addition, there is a lack of qualified mechanics and maintenance personnel, and many small faults can cause a valuable fighter plane to be unable to operate normally and become a waste product.
In addition, with the exception of a few top-notch men, the quality of the pilots of the National X Army did not dare to compliment, resulting in frequent accidents during training, flights, and transfers, and losses were not small.
Moreover, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, as the absolute main force of fighters, the **** 2 and 3 fighters were not only backward, but there were very few left, and now to 1941 is the era when the Soviet-made Yi-15 and Yi-16 fighters soared over China.
Both fighters were small, especially the latter, which was thick and short, which earned them the nickname "Little Donkey".
The I-15 fighter is an old biplane fighter with a very strong ability to hover horizontally at low speeds, but it is too slow, and it is not even as fast as the Japanese army's large bomber Type 96 (370 km).
The I-16 fighter jet uses advanced technologies such as a cantilever under-wing structure and retractable landing gear, as well as new, powerful engines purchased from the West. However, the aircraft still uses a lot of old-fashioned technology, such as semi-open cockpits, biplane remnants, wooden monocoque structures, and so on. Its biggest drawback is its difficulty in maneuvering, but its advantage is that it is fast and has good vertical maneuverability.
Although these two aircraft are outdated and backward, Yang Tianfeng still hopes that their engines will be rebuilt into better aircraft.
Moreover, Yang Tianfeng thought of many reasons, but he still had doubts about the sudden generosity of the national government, but he was not ready to continue to meditate on it, there was a lot of work waiting for him! Besides, there's a Katori shinobi that needs to be sent away!
