Chapter 451: Bridges
"Yes, the north has turned the sky upside down, fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly and came to the northwest one step earlier, and now although I am tired, I can finally eat with a mouthful of food, and I don't have to worry about those Japanese all the time."
Yao Laoba is the eighth in the family, Yaojia Village was bloodbathed by the Japanese army, his son in a cotton mill in the northwest has correspondence with his hometown, I heard that the fifth brother's family only escaped a nephew, and a three-year-old child. It is considered that his family is completely ruined, his fifth brother's family is richer than him, and he was reluctant to leave at first, but he didn't expect that he, a poor man, would pick a life, but he was separated from his brother forever. Thinking of this, Yao Laoba was embarrassed.
"Who said no, no matter how powerful the Japanese are, our Northwest Army is not vegetarian, I heard that there was another victory on the front line, and the Japanese army wants to fight to our northwest, so we have to be obedient or not." Zheng Hongjin, another man from Ningxia, said proudly, "Further north is Baotou, our Northwest Army is not happy to sit and wait for the Japanese army to come to the door, since Commander Jiang came to our northwest, not to mention the war, even a small group of bandits have been cleaned up." The northwest is very peaceful, you guys, it's right to come to the northwest earlier. ”
"But no, we have the Yellow River in the northwest and north, Shanxi and Henan in the east, and the Japanese army wants to enter it, which is a thousand difficulties, and with Commander Jiang's determination, where will the Japanese army fight in the northwest, we have already commanded the troops to fight with the Japanese army, and in a few battles in Hebei, we killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers." Another worker, who seemed to be somewhat well-informed, said.
"That is, our Northwest Army has never avoided the battle since it encountered the Japanese army, if other local armies are the same as our Northwest Army. The Japanese army was beaten back a long time ago. ”
Outside, there were rumors of the fierceness of the War of Resistance. Plus the public opinion propaganda in the Northwest. The entire northwest was united in hatred of the Japanese army, but it was finally in the rear, unlike other provinces in the midst of war, these laborers and the people could still enjoy a little comfort in this troubled world. Every year, a large number of people flee from the Central Plains and Hebei to bring information from the outside world. From these people's personal accounts, they know how terrifying the outside is now, and they feel more and more precious about this rare stability and peace at the moment.
At this time, the people in the northwest could feel that the Northwest Army was the big tree that was propped up above their heads, blocking the wind and rain from the outside. Even in the face of such a strong enemy as the Japanese army, it has never wavered, and this big tree is trying to stretch out its branches and leaves, doing everything in its power to protect the people in the war under its wings.
"Professor Chen, hard work!" Looking at the bridge floating on the Yellow River, Li Du sighed with emotion, since entering the northwest. Li Du also personally inspected the Central Plains and Hebei. Topography of the Northwest. Li Du knows how difficult it is to establish relatively perfect transportation in such a dilapidated place.
"Don't dare to be, Commander Li led his troops to fight hard with the Japanese army, and we people are in the rear, where can we talk about hard work."
Chen Tianming shook his head and smiled, it was his mentor Mao Yisheng who presided over the construction of this railway bridge. At this time, Mao Yisheng was in charge of supervising the repair of the more important Fenglingdu Bridge, so as to open up the connection between Shaanxi and Shanxi, and facilitate the Northwest Army to directly enter Shanxi to assist in the war of resistance. Avoid further deterioration of the situation in Shanxi. After years of practice and hard study, a considerable number of these students have been able to stand alone, and Chen Tianming is one of them.
"This bridge has been overhauled in the past two days, the original bridge was designed and built by the teacher himself, with the load of the bridge, conservative, can bear the weight of 50 tons of trucks or tanks on the passage. It is fully capable of meeting the needs of the tank troops of the 1st Mechanized Brigade to cross the bridge, but whether it is a car team or a ground force, when crossing the bridge deck, do not move in the usual queue, and can move freely. ”
"This soldier is used to marching in formation, but now it's a good thing, just the other way around, it's really a trouble. Okay, Professor Chen, don't worry, the soldiers will be restrained below. ”
Li Du smiled behind the back of his hand, the design of this bridge is very advanced, as a bridge with the main body of the highway, its load limit is as high as fifty tons, and the weight of the Tomahawk tank equipped in the northwest at this time is only more than 20 tons, I heard that the tank research institute is experimenting with heavier tanks, Li Du is a little afraid to imagine, Jiang Li wants to make the tank how heavy. The Tomahawk tank has more than doubled its defensive performance compared to the Avenger by using the groundbreaking beveled armor of the Northwest Army tank. If the weight of the tank is increased to 25 tons, or even more than 30 tons, I am afraid that the performance of the tank will be improved by leaps and bounds. At this time, the Tomahawk tank was enough to penetrate any Japanese tank at a distance of one thousand meters, and the Japanese tank had to advance to a distance of at least four or five hundred meters before it could pose a substantial threat to the Tomahawk. And this distance can already decide the life and death of a considerable number of people when the two armies are fighting.
LI DU WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT JIANG LI SAID WHEN THE 75MM GUN WAS EQUIPPED ON THE TANK, THE INVINCIBLE MOMENTUM THAT COULD SWEEP ALMOST EVERYTHING. AT PRESENT, THE TOMAHAWK TANK IS EQUIPPED WITH A 47MM TANK GUN, NOT ONLY IN EAST ASIA, BUT EVEN COMPARED WITH OTHER POWERS, THE ATTACK POWER IS EXTREMELY STRONG. It is a pity that the newly produced Tomahawk tanks are preferentially replenished to the disabled Sun Liren Mechanized 2nd Brigade. However, it is only a matter of time before the 1st Mechanized Brigade is added later, and at this time the rate of increase in tank production in the Northwest will not exceed a year.
Watching Zhou Dafu's mechanized 1st Brigade pass through the bridge continuously, Li Du couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this incomparably strong bridge is undoubtedly the main artery for the Northwest Army to cross the Yellow River to the north to transport military power, the Northwest Staff has long considered the arrival of this day, so the bridge was built in advance, and I heard that the situation in Henan is also about the same, otherwise with the weight of the tomahawk, with the previous small earth bridge, small stone bridge. It can't be beared. Thinking of the time when I was in the Northeast Army in the past, the problem could only be solved at the time of the incident, and at this time, the Northwest General Staff had already taken these difficulties into account several years in advance and began to solve them.
The main force of Zhao Tieshu's 2nd Group Army successfully retreated to the area of Baoding, relying on the defense line built during this time, as well as Yang Hucheng's 3rd Army, which was reinforced one after another, and Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying, Shang Zhen, and Pang Bingxun successfully dragged the main force of the Japanese North China Front. The retreating Liu Zhi 8th Army has been resting in Cangzhou and Nanpi. (To be continued.) )
