Chapter 525 The Northeast Arsenal of the Anti-Japanese War is very good

Wang De patted Li Dahai on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Captain, Captain Yang has already disarmed the escort team, but just now the General Office of Ordnance Industry called, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, I explained the situation to Captain Li. The book is updated in real time DU(5)8.сΟm"

"Captain Li didn't believe it at first, but after receiving the order of non-resistance from the Ordnance Industry Office, he was so angry that he scolded at the time, and he resolutely asked to lead his brothers to join our Fourth Route Army and follow us to fight devils."

Li Dahai was a native of Yingkou, and his family's land was near the South Manchurian Railway Line, and the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., in the name of railway attachments, constantly encroached on the surrounding farmland along the South Manchurian Railway.

A few years ago, his family's land was also forcibly occupied by Mantie, and Li Dahai killed a Mantie clerk in a fit of rage and ran to the mountains to become a bandit. Later, his uncle, who served in the General Office of Ordnance Industry, secretly found him in Shenyang, changed his name and surname, and put him in the escort team.

Li Dahai practiced martial arts when he was a child, and he was very good at kung fu, and when he was a bandit, he practiced a good marksmanship, and soon stood out in the escort team and became a squadron leader.

Li Dahai hated the Japanese to the core, and as soon as he heard that Zhang Xueliang would not let him resist, he scolded Zhang Xueliang on the phone at that time.

Li Dahai said hatefully: "The little devil deceives people too much, it's not enough to be tyrannical in the Northeast, this time he even dares to blatantly start a war with us, I, Li Dahai, will fight with them to the end." Captain, as long as your Fourth Route Army really fights the little devils, I will do it with you, just say, how can we fight the little devils, I, Li Dahai, am willing to take the lead. ”

Han Guangdi patted Li Dahai and nodded, "Very good, backbone." ”

"However, it is not enough for us to fight devils alone, we have to pull more teams and quickly increase our strength. Therefore, our main task now is to transport these weapons and equipment, which is the capital of our team. ”

Han Guangdi was most concerned about these weapons and ammunition, and these equipment from the arsenal must be transported before dawn, otherwise the Kwantung Army would rush to Shenyang, and these things would fall into the hands of the Japanese.

"Senior Commander Wang, how is the current shipment of weapons and ammunition?"

Wang De glanced at the workers who were nervously loading and said: "Captain, there are still three warehouses left with weapons and ammunition that have not been loaded, and it is estimated that it will take two hours at the earliest, in the early morning... It should be able to be done before. ”

Can be able to... After loading the car in front, the time was completely in time, and Han Guangdi's heart finally relaxed. However, he was also a little worried about whether the vehicle would be sufficient.

"Is there enough vehicle?"

Wang De shook his head and said regretfully: "It's not enough, there are too many things here, there is a warehouse full of fried yào, if you want to load all these fried yào, there will be at least a hundred trucks." ”

Han Guangdi said to Wang De, Yang Hongji, and Li Dahai: "There is no need to load all the fried goods away, just load ten cars, and when we go north, use these bombs to destroy the bridges and culverts of the South Manchurian Railway along the way, so that the railway from Shenyang to Siping will be completely paralyzed, so that we can gain a firm foothold in Siping and buy time for recruiting troops in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces." The rest of the bombs are all placed in the arsenal, and when we leave, we must blow up all the machines in the arsenal, and we must not leave the little devil with a complete machine. ”

"That's right, blow up the damn one, let the little devil clean up the broken copper and iron." Wang De loudly agreed.

Yang Hongji and Li Dahai were a little reluctant to blow up the arsenal, they knew that Zhang Xueliang had bought these machines from abroad at a high price. However, the more valuable things are, the more they cannot leave them to the Japanese, especially the arsenals that manufacture weapons and equipment, and they still understand this.

Wang De whispered: "Captain, I found some special things in the warehouse, I don't know whether to install it or not, it's up to you to decide." ”

"Load, as long as you can take away the weapons and bullets, you have to load." Han Guangdi replied without thinking.

Wang De hesitated and said, "Captain, this thing is very special......"

Seeing Wang De talking hesitantly, Han Guangdi asked a little strangely, "What is it?" ”

Wang De shook his head and said: "I'm not sure what this thing is, it's written in foreign language on the box, what is in it, you can take a look for yourself." ”

What else can be put in the weapons warehouse? Brother Han Guang was also very strange, and immediately asked Wang De and Li Dahai to take him to have a look.

In front of the warehouse mén that Wang De said, there was a squad of the Fourth Route Army on the guard with live ammunition, and a middle-aged man in overalls leaned against the wall on the side of Mén, with a large pool of blood on the ground, apparently having just died. ,

"Who is this? What's going on? Who killed people? Brother Han Guangdi couldn't help frowning.

This time, they were not so much robbing the weapons and equipment of the Northeast Army as they were robbing the Japanese things, because Zhang Xueliang did not resist, these weapons and equipment left here would be obtained by the Japanese, and they took these things at this time, just to hit the Japanese army. However, it is not good to kill innocents indiscriminately, especially factory workers.

Li Dahai replied: "Report to the captain, I killed him." ”

Seeing Han Guangdi's brows furrowed, Wang De hurriedly explained: "Captain, this person is not a Chinese worker in the arsenal, he is a Japanese technician employed by the arsenal, Nobuo Edano. ”

"Oh? Is it Japanese? Han Guangdi glanced at the corpse in surprise.

Li Dahai took over and said: "Yes, captain, this Japanese was hired by the Ordnance Industry Office, and the reason why he was killed was because this Japanese technician wanted to enter this warehouse with a pistol and grenades, and after I found out, he also shot and resisted, I think he wanted to blow up this warehouse." ”

Why did the Japanese have to bomb this warehouse? Why didn't he go to the warehouse where he was bombed? Wouldn't that blow up the entire arsenal?

Han Guangdi asked suspiciously, "What are the things in this warehouse?" ”

"It's all rifles, and then there's the big boxes that don't know what they contain. The box didn't look good, and I didn't let anyone open it for insurance. Wang De said with some uneasiness.

The warehouse is very large, because all the rifles inside have been moved, and the warehouse seems empty, only in the corner of the warehouse, there are more than a hundred wooden boxes neatly stacked, these boxes are not very large, and even shorter than the boxes containing rifles. However, these boxes are written in foreign languages. Moreover, as soon as he saw these boxes, Han Guangdi was shocked.

Although Han Guangdi only knows Japanese, he is also well-informed after all, and he can recognize these foreign languages as French, as for what is written on them, he does not know.

However, Han Guangdi is still very clear about the meaning of the logo on the box. The chests are painted with a diagonal cross in black sè paint, and a terrifying skull is depicted on the cross jiāo. The book is updated in real time DU(5) 8.сΟm

Because of this logo, Han Guangdi can basically judge that it contains highly toxic substances. But what kind of poisonous thing is inside? If he doesn't open it, he still can't tell.

Han Guangdi tested the weight with his hands, and it felt very heavy. After looking around the box for a long time, he saw that the wooden board packaging of the box was the same as that of the ordinary bullet box, and Han Guangdi judged that the toxic substances contained in it were not volatile, and there should be no problem when he opened it.

Han Guangdi pointed to the box and said, "Open one and take a look." ”

The reason why Wang De didn't dare to open it was not only because he saw this sign with a skeleton, and instinctively felt that what was inside might be dangerous. is also because Li Dahai, the captain of the Northeast Arsenal, doesn't know what is placed here, which not only makes Wang De a lot more cautious.

However, Han Guangdi let it open, and Wang De knew it in his heart.

Because, he trusts Han Guangdi very much.

In terms of knowledge alone, among the senior officers of the Fourth Route Army, except for Song Zhewu, Han Guangdi is the highest. Because of Song Zhewu, now in the Fourth Route Army, there is generally great respect and trust for knowledgeable people.

With a wave of his hand, several soldiers behind him came up and laboriously carried a box to the ground, and Chōu took out his bayonet and pried the lid off in a few strokes. When everyone watched, there was a black bomb lying quietly in the box.

"Gas bomb" Han Guangdi couldn't help but exclaim.

The Northeast Army Air Force has poisoned gas bombs, and Han Guangdi has known about this matter for a long time.

As early as the 16th year of the Republic of China, that is, in September 1927, Yan Xishan took the lead in seizing Pingping and Tianjin in response to the Northern Expedition, and led the main force of the department to go north out of Datong and east out of Niangzi Pass in the east, and launched an attack on the Feng army along Jingsui Road and Jinghan Road respectively.

In order to cut off the communication between the Feng army on the Jinghan Railway and cooperate with the main battle, the 4th Division of the 6th Army, under the leadership of the division commander Fu Zuoyi, set out from Wei County on October 5, with Yuan Qingzeng's regiment as the advance detachment, and advanced lightly and hurriedly, penetrating deep into the hinterland of the Feng army, and making a surprise attack on Zhuozhou.

Yuan Qingzeng's regiment broke into the city on the 11th, and after a day and night of street fighting, defeated a regiment of the Fengjun Wang Yizhe Guard Brigade, which is now the 621st Regiment of Wang Yizhe's Seventh Brigade, and completely occupied Zhuozhou City and Zhuozhou Railway Station. On the 14th, Fu Zuoyi led the main force of the division into Zhuozhou. However, at this time, the rest of the Jin Sui army that attacked along the Jinghan and Jingsui roads had been defeated by the Feng army. The main forces of the Jin Sui army retreated to Shanxi, causing Fu Zuoyi to lead his troops to trap Zhuozhou City. ,

Fu Zuoyi, who was unable to retreat, had no choice but to deploy to repair the fortifications and wait for help.

Fu Zuoyi, who was on the defensive, ordered 4 battalions to defend the city, and the main force of the division to guard all points outside the city.

On the 15th, the Feng army counterattacked Zhuozhou with the strength of 3 divisions, and was repulsed by Fu Zuoyi after two days of fighting. Under the fierce attack of the Feng army, the defenders of Fu Zuoyi's army also suffered heavy casualties, but Zhuozhou City was unharmed. On the 17th, Fu Zuoyi withdrew all the troops outside the city into the city in order to save troops, and prepared for a protracted war.

In order to conquer Zhuozhou as soon as possible, Zhang Xueliang mobilized the Wan Fulin Army, 1 regiment of field artillery and 1 regiment of heavy artillery, and 3 battalions of engineers, totaling 100,000 jīng rui, under his personal command, with the cooperation of aircraft and tanks for the rest of the month, supplemented by death squad assaults, tunnel blasting and other means, to launch several general attacks on Zhuozhou.

Under the genius command of Fu Zuoyi, the Jin Sui army, with only more than 7,000 people left, stubbornly and firmly held the city defense of Zhuozhou, so that the Northeast Army returned from several general attacks in vain, and each time ended in heavy casualties.

In the face of heavy casualties and the long-term siege of Zhuozhou City, which was as safe as a rock, Zhang Xueliang, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to finally agree to use an aircraft to drop poison gas bombs imported from France to release poison gas, in an attempt to open a gap in Fu Zuoyi's well-defended Zhuozhou city defense with the help of poison gas. This also set a precedent for the first use of poison gas on the battlefield in China.

The aviation poison gas bomb of the Northeast Army is phosgene poison gas bomb, and the scientific name of phosgene is chloroformyl chloride. Mild poisoning, patients have lacrimation, photophobia, pharyngeal discomfort, cough, xiōng stuffiness, etc.; moderate poisoning, in addition to the aggravation of the above symptoms, the patient has mild dyspnea, mild cyanosis; Severe poisoning presents with pulmonary edema or chéng respiratory distress syndrome, in which the patient coughs violently, coughs up a large amount of frothy sputum, respiratory distress, and marked cyanosis, which eventually leads to death.

In order to deter the Jin Sui Army and the National ** Army of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Xueliang also specially invited many reporters to watch the battle.

However, what Zhang Xueliang never expected was that after the airdrop of poison gas bombs, the wind direction of the battlefield suddenly changed, and it was originally calculated that the poison gas would drift to the position of the Jin Sui army in Zhuozhou with the wind, but after the wind direction suddenly changed, the poison gas drifted to the position of the Feng army instead, causing a large number of Feng troops who were waiting to attack at the front line to be poisoned, so that Fu Zuoyi's troops were spared a catastrophe. In order to avoid the poison gas, Zhang Xueliang hurriedly fled on horseback, and many reporters watching the war also fled around regardless of their identities, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Because of this oolong incident, the Northeast Army has never used poison gas since then, and I think these poison gas bombs were imported from that batch.

At this time, Han Guangdi also understood why the Japanese technician Nobuo Edano, who was killed by Li Dahai, came to blow up this warehouse.

The reason why Nobuo Edano chose to come to this warehouse to carry out the explosion must have been to detonate the poison gas bombs, so that the Fourth Route Army could no longer load weapons in the arsenal, and also to prevent Han Guangdi from destroying the equipment of the arsenal when evacuating, and finally let the Kwantung Army get a complete arsenal.

Regarding Han Guangdi's statement that these bombs were poison gas bombs, Wang De and Li Dahai were not too surprised. It's not that they don't understand what a gas bomb is, it's that they don't have a sense of the harm it can cause.

Han Guangdi ordered the two soldiers to renail the open box.

Then he solemnly ordered Wang De: "These poison gas bombs must be loaded and transported away, not loaded with other weapons and equipment, and a special person must be assigned to escort them, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Seeing that Han Guangdi attached great importance to these gas bombs, Li Dahai suddenly remembered something again and reported to Han Guangdi.

"Report to the captain, in fact, not only there are weapons in the warehouse, but also good things in the workshop."

"Oh? Still have good things in the workshop? Show me it. ”

Anything in the Northeast Arsenal, as long as it can be taken, must be taken away, and nothing will be left for the Japanese. Since there is still one in the workshop, it is also to be taken away.

Li Dahai hesitated for a moment, then called over a member of the escort team to give a few words, and then led Han Guangdi and Wang De out of the warehouse.

Han Guangdi's task this time was to transport as much as possible all the weapons and equipment produced by the Northeast Arsenal built by Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang and his son, and blow up all the equipment that the arsenal could not transport. Although Han Guangdi also felt that it was a pity that all these equipment were blown up, it was much better than leaving it to the Japanese.

However, it would be a pity if there were still good things in the workshop that could be transported, and they were also blown up along with the equipment of the arsenal.

In the spacious workshop of the artillery workshop, Li Dahai pointed to a huge steel pipe that was still fixed to the car chuáng and said to Han Guangdi: "Captain, this is it. ”,

"Is this just a steel pipe, what's so strange about that?" Wang De said with some disappointment.

Li Dahai shook his head and said a little proudly: "Senior Commander Wang, this is not an ordinary steel pipe, this is the barrel of a cannon." Not everyone can build such a large-caliber cannon. ”

Li Dahai said ostentatiously: "I heard those engineers who live in the expert building say that only the European and American powers and the Japanese can build such a large-caliber artillery in the world, and now our Northeast Arsenal can also make it by itself, which is not simple." In the small warehouse of the workshop over there, there are more than a dozen barrels that have been processed, and I heard from those engineers that they have done some rifle pressure tests and are fully qualified to make barrels. ”

The cannon barrel in front of Han Guangdi's eyes has been basically processed. Han Guangdi compared the caliber with his hand, "240mm", and Han Guangdi couldn't help but be secretly taken aback in his heart.

Han Guangdi knew that the Northeast Arsenal had imitated and equipped many artillery, such as imitating the Japanese Type 38 75mm field gun, which was made into the Liao 13-type 75mm field gun; imitated the Japanese Type 41 75mm mountain gun, and made the Liao 14 type 75mm mountain gun; imitated the Japanese Taisho 11-year 75-mm position high shè gun, and made the Liao 16-type 75-mm high shè gun; imitated the Austrian Bailu 18-year 30 times 77-mm field gun, and made the Liao 14-year 77-mm field gun; It also copied the Austrian 21 times caliber 100 mm light howitzer and the imitation of the Japanese 38 type 105 mm field cannon. Even imitated the Japanese Type 38 150mm howitzer to create the Liao 14 Type 150mm howitzer. However, it was the first time that the Northeast Arsenal could make a 240mm caliber cannon, and he knew it for the first time.

At this time, a small captain of the escort team led a member of the escort team to the workshop in a hurry. Li Dahai took a brand-new rifle from the team leader and handed it to Han Guangdi.

"Captain, there's another good thing here.

Li Dahai said: "This is a newly manufactured new rifle sample gun, ten rounds of ammunition, can be continuously shè shot, no need to pull the bolt every shè shot, those engineers call this gun automatic rifle." They thought it was a treasure, so they asked me to send a team to guard it. ”

Han Guangdi took the rifle, opened the magazine, saw that it was empty, reached out and asked for ten rounds of ammunition from the guards on the side, loaded it, walked out of the workshop, pulled the bolt, and continuously hooked the trigger in the air.

"Smack, smack, slap......"

Sure enough, as Li Dahai said, ten consecutive single shè shots, no need to pull the bolt of the gun every shè hit.

This kind of gun can already be manufactured by the Fourth Route Army Weapons Research Institute, but according to Song Zhewu's name, this rifle is called a semi-automatic rifle. Because this rifle does not need to pull the bolt every time it is shot, the frequency of fire is high during the battle, and compared with ordinary rifles, the firepower density is on top of a few, but because of the output, only Zhang Yafei's 38th Army is now equipped in the Fourth Route Army.

What Han Guangdi didn't expect was that this kind of rifle, which was not commonly equipped even by the Western powers, was actually trial-produced by the Northeast Arsenal

Han Guangdi couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "The Northeast Arsenal is really strong, and it is indeed very good."
