Tuesday Dog looked at the sample of the new equipment, and his heart itched like a cat scratching, but Shu Jintang and they didn't have enough raw materials.
On Tuesday, the dog gritted his teeth and smashed the pot to sell iron, exchanging weapons reserves and the third war zone for oil, equipment, and raw materials, saying that he had to create these weapons to save the country.
300 crooked-handled light machine guns were replaced with 300 barrels of diesel, 1,000 submachine guns were replaced with 10-ton seamless steel tubes, 2,000 miscellaneous rifles were replaced by 15 motorcycles, 1,200 medium-sized rifles were replaced with 5 tons of TNT explosives, and 15 German-made 20-mm machine guns were replaced by 3 sets of alcohol production equipment,...... 2,000 Chinese rifles and Ma Bufang were exchanged for 1,000 war horses and 200 purebred Hequ horses from Qinghai**.
A batch of clay pots, lime mines, and the New Fourth Army were exchanged for several tons of copper.
Shu Jintang also exerted his strength to vomit blood: the new skilled workers from Shanghai followed a few masters to produce Qiguang submachine guns; A group of family members of new workers were arranged to enter the paper mill to increase the output of kraft paper, and a batch of paper tubes were made into the assembly factory to make flying thunder; The carpenters stopped producing hard crossbows and made butts according to the drawings; Blacksmiths concentrate on making thin sheets of copper; Draw out part of the people who produce clay pot lime mines, produce anti-tank grenades with hollow charges; The veteran workers are responsible for the production of high-secret, high-tech molds, flying mines, and motorized speedboats.
A month later, 40 heavy shotguns, 400 long shotguns, 60 short shotguns, 200 popular flying mines, 40 two-way meteor flying thunder launchers, 10 Foguang flying thunder launchers, 80 Foguang flying mines, and 15 motorized speedboats were divided into 3 configurations, 5 each, which were hidden in the cave by Shu Jintang, and quietly displayed to several high-ranking officials such as Tuesday Dog, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, Zeng Qi, Xiang Qingyun, and Ouyang Cheng.
After seeing these new equipment, Gou and others on Tuesday ordered them to immediately assemble a small number of troops and conduct live-fire tests; after there were no problems, they should pay close attention to technical training, design tactics and conduct running-in exercises, and complete all of them within a month to form combat effectiveness.
Another month later, the cavalry completed the drill and formed combat effectiveness; The naval army completed the drill and formed combat effectiveness; The number of Foguang Flying Thunder launchers has increased to 60, the number of Foguang Flying Thunder has increased to 480, the number of popular Flying Mines has increased to 800, and the number of two-way meteor Flying Thunder Launchers has increased to 80. On Tuesday, the dog once again convened a meeting of the senior staff members, believing that it was necessary for the new equipment to be put to the test in real combat.
On the actual combat issues of the new equipment, several high-level exhibitors discussed:
On Tuesday, the dog believed that the gunboats of the devils on Taihu Lake were very annoying, which reduced the income of the fishermen in Xishan and blocked the waterway for Wu Mujun to transport the spoils.
Xiang Qingyun has confronted Wu Xing's devils since he was guarding Xishan, but he has never fought decently, and proposed that the cavalry troops can use Wu Xing's devils to practice their hands, so that they know that they know how powerful Wu Mujun is, and they will be able to "deal with" in the future.
Ouyang Cheng also wanted to pull out his own air defense force to show it, and proposed that the air defense battalion follow behind the cavalry team, and once the devil plane assisted in the battle, he could practice air defense battles.
Zeng Qi believes that all units should train together and fight a multi-service joint campaign.
Zhao Dahu vetoed all proposals, believing that launching a large-scale campaign now would undoubtedly arouse the great attention of the devils and bring a larger-scale war to Xishan, contrary to the nine-character mantra, it is better to contact ** and the New Fourth Army and start a war in their territory in their name.
The excited crowd was poured a basin of cold water by Zhao Dahu, and their feverish minds began to calm down and ponder.
Zhao Dahu saw that his words made everyone cold, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, so he put forward an exciting topic, which can let the air defense system try a little first, first, the air defense system involves radar stations, communication networks, anti-aircraft machine guns, Foguang flying mines and other large equipment, which is inconvenient to carry out external operations, second, it can test the effect of the broadcast command system, and third, it can make the devil plane have some scruples; Other new equipment should be tested in batches and on a small scale in actual combat.
As a result, the hot topic of discussion focused on fighting planes: First, the devil planes have not made any major moves recently, except for the occasional reconnaissance, but they have only accompanied Wu Mujun to train and test the effect of the radar station, and have given the radar soldiers several actual combat exercises, but they have no chance to fire against the devil planes; Second, the antiaircraft machine guns of the air defense battalion have also aimed at the reconnaissance planes of devils on several occasions, and they have a general idea of the amount of advance and the timing of firing, but the personnel who control the Foguang Flying Mine have just undergone simple training in air defense knowledge, and their quality in all aspects is not as good as that of the selected air defense troops, and it is impossible to single out so many high-quality soldiers.
In addition to officers at and above the brigade level, the officers of the units involved and some middle- and low-level officers with many ideas and extensive knowledge were also "expanded," including: Lu Ao, Wan Zixiong, Niu Daojia, Liang Ruxiang, Li Jinglong, Wang Junshan, and Wang Huankai......
On the question of how to draw out the devil plane, everyone discussed it for a long time and still had no opinion. Suddenly, Niu Daojia, who had not spoken, couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "I dare to say, as long as my armored troops show up, the devil plane will come!" ”
"Shut up! What did Lao Tzu tell you? **Forgot? Lu Ao was very vocal about Niu Daojia, because Niu Daojia loved to fire guns indiscriminately, and Lu Ao warned Niu Daojia not to speak at the meeting.
"Lao Lu, let this kid talk about it, aren't we just making up an idea, whether it's right or wrong!" Zeng Qi persuaded Lu Ao.
"This kid can't spit ivory out of his mouth!" Lu Ao glared at Niu Daojia.
Niu Daojia shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.
"Boy, I sound a little funny!" Zhao Dahu spoke.
Seeing Lu Ao nodding slightly, Niu Daojia stood up and gave a military salute to the commanders and big brothers, and then really spit out the "ivory": "We have armored troops, the devil knows, there are our armored troops near Nanjing, which is intolerable to the devils, so as long as my armored troops show up, the possibility of the devil's plane showing up is very large, but I am afraid that the commanders will be reluctant to lose a few tanks, anyway, they are reluctant to let the children catch the wolf, the commanders will look at it!" ”
On this day, the radar station detected the arrival of the devil's reconnaissance plane again, and immediately notified the relevant troops through the air defense command center.
Niu Daojia immediately drove out of Xishan with 3 armored vehicles and 6 tanks, and drove from Zhang Zhu to Jintan, with billowing black smoke billowing from behind the tanks. After a while, Niu Daojia received a radio notice that the devil reconnaissance plane had left and ordered him to turn the armored troops in the direction of Yixing to stand by.
After a while, the radio announced again that 8 more devil planes were flying, and Niu Daojia started the vehicle and prepared for action.
The devil's plane saw that Niu Daojia's armored convoy was hurriedly turning around and "fleeing" into the mountains, and immediately chased after him.
Niu Daojia and the others hurriedly drove the armored vehicle into the cave that had been prepared a long time ago, while the air defense battalion of Wang Junshan rushed out in a truck with an anti-aircraft machine gun to meet the devil's plane.
Seeing the dense bullets fired in the woods, the devil pilots, of course, knew that it was an anti-aircraft machine gun, and pulled up their planes one after another to avoid the anti-aircraft fire in the woods, but they still lost 3 planes.
The devil's plane suffered a loss, and after flying to the safety zone, it sorted out its formation and flew back, preparing to destroy the air defense positions and armored units of the Chinese people, and at least it had to deal a heavy blow to the elite troops of the Chinese people, give an explanation to the dignity of the imperial army, and bring peace to Nanjing!
Arriving at the predetermined location, the devil flight captain took the lead in diving down and dropping the bomb, and at the same time found a batch of "wooden stakes" flying out of the woods, and exploded, and then there was a golden light in front of him, and the plane was hit by an unknown object crackling.
On Tuesday, the dog and others watched the devil's plane fly out of the air defense zone unharmed with binoculars in the bunker, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed. It turned out that at Tong Hai's suggestion, Tuesday Dog also invited several ** officers to observe and prepare to sell these new air defense weapons on the spot, but I didn't expect this to be the result!
As soon as the dog threw down the telescope on Tuesday, he heard the others shouting loudly, and he hurriedly picked up the telescope, only to see wisps of black smoke in the distance, Zhao Dahu, Zeng Qi and others had already rushed out of the bunker......
On Tuesday, the dog threw the telescope and missed the once-in-a-century spectacular scenery, and the five devil planes suddenly all cracked and fell down in several pieces, and Wu Mujun only used 23 Foguang Flying Thunder, a total of 184.
The dense thin copper sheet crashed into the high-speed plane, dismembering the plane and falling to the ground!
Niu Daojia succeeded and led out the devil plane! Shu Jintang succeeded and created a weapon to save the country! Ouyang Cheng succeeded, take down the devil plane! Tong Hai succeeded, ** order 10,000 pieces! Wu Mujun succeeded!
Shunroku Hata was at a loss: 8 planes have gone and no return, why? Why? Why?!!!
The devil sent many spies and spies, only to detect: there was a thunder on the ground and a golden light in the sky, and all the planes fell! They also recovered several pieces of broken copper.
The thinkers of Shunroku Hata were puzzled, so they had to order that in the future, planes should not fly over Wu Mujun!
Tong Hai has made a fortune! Chongqing** Ministry of Military Affairs purchased 10,000 sets of Foguang Flying Thunder. Sorry, no raw materials! If you want it, you can process with incoming materials, 200 tons of TNT, 400 tons of black powder, 30,000 trigger fuses, 100 tons of brass, 1,000 tons of kraft paper, 200 tons of seamless steel pipes, 10,000 rickshaws, and a processing fee of 1 million oceans.
When the chairman listened to the offer, he couldn't help but look dark! Wu Mujun's grandsons are too dark! However, compared to the arms of foreigners, they can afford it, and besides, foreigners don't have these things, so they have to endure their anger and approve it, but they converted 1 million oceans into 1,000 rickshaws, plus 40 tons of brass, and finally laughed at themselves: "It's really a cannon that fires 10,000 taels of gold!" "I just forgot how much is the 10 air defense radars contributed by Wu Mujun worth? How much is 60 Soviet-made rapid-fire guns worth? How much is the various materials and food donated by Wu Mujun worth? How much is the intelligence provided over the years worth?
With materials and raw materials, Shu Jintang paid close attention to production, worked overtime, and Zeng Qi set up an accelerated technical school to train lathes, fitters, riveters, welders, electricians, and carpenters at the fastest speed......
In other respects, the Type 96 light machine gun has all replaced the crooked light machine gun, the Qiguang submachine gun has replaced the German-made submachine gun with insufficient firing range, the grenade machine gun has replaced the grenadier canister, the 4 grenades or grenades have been replaced by 8 light clay pot lime grenades, the mortar has been assembled to the company level, and the heavy machine gun, Type 92 infantry gun, and heavy shotgun have been assembled to the battalion level; The armored brigade, the naval brigade, the cavalry brigade, and the air defense command center were newly formed; The hunting uniforms have all been issued to the troops as new uniforms; The most important thing is that Wu Mujun realized the wireless command of the radio station, which is a pioneering feat in the military history of the world.
In addition, all the militia in the Xishan base area have used standard rifles, but the shooting training has to start with a hard crossbow.
