Chapter 360: Lugou Bridge and the Hidden Dragon

rumble

A huge fire rose not far away, tearing apart the night that had gradually dispersed.

"******, you can't live in peace if you smoke a cigarette, the enemy is attacking!" The platoon commander threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and howled at the top of his throat.

Wanping County, which was originally relatively peaceful, was like a bomb thrown into a waterhole at this time, and it suddenly became noisy.

"Quick, quick, the little devil is coming!" There was a rush of people on the city walls. A cannonball had already hit the city wall, and a large number of small broken stones were scattered in all directions, mixed with the screams of the soldiers.

Offensive! The commander of the 3rd Japanese Army, Ichiki, brandished his saber and led his troops to attack the 29th Army outside Wanping City from the area on the north side of the railway. At the same time, the artillery located on the north side of Shasui Village, Dazaoyuan Mountain, also began to carry out heavy shelling.

Dodo

The frantic roar of Taisho three-year heavy machine guns raged through the defenders' positions, and the soldiers were so suppressed that they could not lift their heads, sandbags were stuck in front of them, and the occasional bullet that came through the gap could knock out one or two people. Bullets whizzed through the head. The soldiers of the brigade were lying in this extremely simple fortification, and the heavy sandbags were torn apart by artillery fire not far away, and the falling sand was scattered everywhere, and many soldiers could only hurriedly cover their mouths to avoid sucking into their noses and mouths.

"Attack!" The Japanese squad formed a standard offensive formation. Under the cover of machine guns and artillery, pounce on the defenders' positions swaying under artillery fire.

The gunfire on the thump defenders' positions was relatively sparse, but unusually resolute. Boom, a grenade fired from a grenade knocked out the defenders' machine guns. The gunfire in the defenders' positions became even more sparse.

"Fight with this group of ****!" The Japanese army is getting closer and closer. The soldiers lying in the trenches were led by officers. Carrying a rifle, he jumped up and rushed towards the Japanese troops on the opposite side. Bloody and cheap, constantly people soldiers were shot, or fell with knives, there were Japanese soldiers, there were also defender soldiers on the ground, and the fierce battle in Wanping County began.

"It is a soldier's duty to defend the envelope, and foreign wars are the honor of my soldiers. That is, to tell the officers and soldiers of the whole country, sacrifice their characteristics to struggle, stick to their positions, marry chickens and follow chickens, Wanping City and Lugou Bridge as the graves of our army, one foot and one inch of the country, not to be easily let people. At that time, Qin Dechun, deputy commander of the 29th Army and mayor of Beiping, issued such an order to the head of Ji Xingwen, who was stationed in Wanping County

Under a blue sky, in the distance are the undulating mountains, green meadows, and the sound of cattle and sheep, this place that is rarely visited. But there is a huge airport, and Dou Yuren took a special plane to the Nirvana base. There were several other Jewish professors on board.

In addition to a few professors talking, Dou Yuren and several soldiers sat there straight, unsmiling. In the laughter of several people, Dou Yuren turned his head to look at a strange-looking plane parked at the airport outside the window of the fuselage, as the chief instructor of the Northwest Special Operations Team, there are basically no weapons in the Northwest that Dou Yuren will not use, even including the newly produced Flying Dragon fighter. Tomahawk tanks. However, the newly parked plane on the airport made Dou Yuren a little surprised, he had not seen such an aircraft in the northwest, the performance of the flying dragon fighter was already very good, and there was a huge room for improvement, could it be that the northwest had produced a more powerful plane in such a short period of time?

Hum, with such doubts, Dou Yuren's plane took off, leaving the airport far behind, since the launch of the Nirvana Plan, for most of the year, the basic living materials of the base, and the barracks have been basically completed. The first batch of personnel has settled in the base, and the scholars and professors who will participate in the plan will enter the base one after another.

"The heart of the Qianlong 1 fighter is a modified turbine engine weighing about 379 kilograms, with a thrust of about 406 kilograms, and a thrust-to-weight ratio of slightly more than one. The wingspan of the aircraft reached 8.8 meters, the length was 7.6 meters, the empty weight was 1660 kg, and the normal weight was 2017 kg. The top speed is 512 km/h. Xiong Dazhen put his hands behind his back, and when he introduced this kind of aircraft to Ge Shimin, he felt a little lacking in confidence, after all, the Feilong 1 fighter at this time was improved on the basis of the original BF109A, and the speed has exceeded 500 kilometers per hour, and as a newly developed piston engine, the Feilong fighter still has huge room for improvement. Moreover, after two years of repeated testing, the entire design scheme of the Flying Dragon fighter has been very stable and mature, and the failure rate of the aircraft has been reduced to an extremely low level, and it can completely produce and equip troops on a large scale. And the jet he developed, the failure rate is surprisingly high, especially the engine, in order to develop this jet, a pilot has been hung up, and there are two other accidents, fortunately, the engine failed before takeoff, when landing, otherwise there are two more pilots who died. If Xiong Dazhen hadn't thought that jet aircraft had a broad space for development, and had the persistence of being a developer, I am afraid that he would have given up long ago.

"The Commander attaches great importance to the development of jets, which are a completely new field, and they are still in the emerging stage in Germany. The United States and Britain have not yet heard the exact news, although the comprehensive performance of the Qianlong is now far inferior to the Flying Dragon fighter, but in addition to the high failure rate, as an emerging type of aircraft, the top speed has just exceeded 500, which has surpassed many propeller aircraft. If the engine can be improved, I believe it will be greatly improved. ”

Among the various armies of the Northwest Army, although the largest is the army, if you want to say which branch of the armed forces Jiang Li has the highest prestige, it is undoubtedly the Air Force, which has gone from having almost nothing to now being able to barely defeat the Japanese Air Force head-on. With the combat experience of the past, the Northwest Air Force at this time was not afraid even in the face of a strong enemy in the past. It was from Jiang Li's hands that the Northwest Air Force started from scratch to eliminate the planes that were previously purchased from the great powers, and the current aircraft in service with the Northwest Air Force as the main combat force of the Eagle 1, Eagle 2, Feilong 1, and Xifeng 1 are all produced by the Northwest itself. Therefore, in the Air Force, there are people like Ge Shimin who almost have blind admiration for Jiang Li. For Jiang Li's optimism about the prospects of jet aircraft, Ge Shimin also has no doubts. At least so far, the strategic layout of the Northwest in the Air Force has not gone wrong. The construction of the aircraft industry chain has been completed at the fastest speed. At this time, although the failure rate of jet aircraft is still alarmingly high, but as a new type of aircraft, it is rare to reach such a point at the beginning, in Jiang Li's words, the northwest should not turn away a new type of weapon, stupid birds fly first, at this time the foundation of the northwest is still extremely weak.
