The news of Wu Mujun's use of a new type of bombshell spread quickly, and it was spread so miraculously that wherever Wu Mujun's truck carrying the launcher went, the devils often retreated, or at least did not dare to provoke it. So, Zhang Tielong and Lu Yaohan thought of fishing in troubled waters at the same time, and used trucks pulling bamboo tubes to take down many difficult strongholds.

Other guerrilla areas have also applied to be equipped with supernatural bombshells, and on Tuesday, Gou, Zhao Dahu, Xiang Qingyun, Zeng Qi, Wang Yilang, and others replied in a unified voice, waiting for the unified arrangement of the General Headquarters! In fact, Wu Mujun's explosives were almost exhausted, and the production capacity could not be increased in any case.

In the face of Shu Jintang's urging for the supply of explosives over and over again, Tuesday's dog head was big and shouted at Shu Jintang: "Don't pester me!" If I can make explosives, what do you want you to do? ”

Shu Jintang was also anxious: "What the hell are you breaking the commander, you don't care about anything, if you want your commander-in-chief to be a decoration, if you ask for a decoration, I will go to the Guan Emperor Temple to ask for Master Guan!" ”

Tuesday Dog was amused by Shu Jintang: "Yes, Master Shu, you are really my grandfather!" I have given orders to the Special Operations Brigade, the River Defense Brigade, and the guerrilla units, but they have not gotten what you want, what should I do? You'd better let the explosives factory hurry up production! ”

"The explosives factory has been producing continuously, and I am afraid that the explosives factory will produce too quickly and there will be an accident! You can think of a way, let's say swap some with [***]. "What Shu Jintang never forgets is explosives.

As he was talking, the staff officer came to report that Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, had arrived at the ......

Tuesday Dog smiled at Shu Jintang: "The dynamite is coming!" ”

"Who are you, turn your face when you say it, laugh when you laugh, it's just right for you to go to the propaganda team to be an actor!" Shu Jintang was also in a good mood and turned around and walked out, and turned back and said, "Don't forget my explosives!" ”

Sure enough, Gu Zhutong brought 3 tons of explosives to "reward" the dog department on Tuesday, after all, the Southern Jiangsu Garrison Command was under the command of the Third War Zone, which gave Gu Zhutong a long face.

On Tuesday, the dog was also bright, and immediately converted one of Gu Zhutong's trucks into a rain and thunder launcher, with 3 ammunition.

Gu Zhutong then further proposed to purchase a batch of flying mines, and on Tuesday the dog asked Gu Zhutong to send someone to Tong Hai to talk.

Seeing that Flying Thunder was so popular, Shu Jintang immediately discussed with Zheng Qiguang and Yuan Zhongwu to further develop the Flying Thunder series of weapons.

The new flying thunder is indeed very powerful, but it is also a large consumer of raw materials, explosives, paper, steel, and batteries, so Shu Jintang once again raised the issue of raw materials for the production of flying thunder to Tuesday Dog.

Tuesday Dog now has a typical snobbish face, seeing that the Flying Thunder series weapons are so sharp and the market is huge, he personally convened a staff meeting to plan the raw materials for the production of Flying Thunder.

Zheng Qiguang and Yuan Zhongwu pointed out that the principle of flying mines is the same, mainly according to the different operational needs of designing different parameters, which can not only save a lot of raw materials, but also meet the needs of the troops for easy carrying in combat.

Tuesday, the dog and the others listened to Zheng Qiguang's report, stared at each other for a long time, and were stunned.

When the dog woke up on Tuesday, he immediately shouted: "Send a telegram to Chennault and sell the Americans a batch of new weapons!" I'm going to get the Americans back with my gold! ”

Zeng Qi said faintly: "This requires too many raw materials, I'm afraid we can't afford to play in our base!" ”

Xiang Qingyun's eyes flashed red: "His grandmother's, if I have 10,000 Foguang-level launchers and enough ammunition, all of China belongs to our Wu Mujun, and Xiao Yueben, Lao Jiang, **What's the matter?" ”

Wang Yilang was much more sober than the others: "Bosses, let's go take a cold shower and be sober first!" Don't kill the devil and drive yourself crazy first! Let's plan again! ”

……

After everyone sobered up, they began to discuss in detail how to start the Flying Thunder project.

First of all, there is the issue of raw materials. Explosives, paper, steel, wires, batteries, equipment...... Money has to be used everywhere, and you have to procure, transport, and ......

This is followed by the means of delivery. A large number of trucks, ships, and carts are needed......

There is also a production plan, which one is the main one to produce small, medium, or large flying mines?

……

On Tuesday, the dog sent a telegram to Ma Bufang, demanding that 500 javelin thunder launchers and 20,000 javelin thunderbolts be exchanged for 1,000 tons of butter to be used to produce explosives; He also sent a report to the Military Commission, demanding that a large number of clay pots, cast-iron shells, kraft paper, wires, and batteries be exchanged for 1,000 meteor and mine launchers and 100,000 meteor mines; A telegram was sent to Chennault, demanding that a large quantity of aluminum alloy and its processing equipment, caustic soda, nitric acid, and high explosives be purchased from the American political axe, to be paid for in gold or offset with penicillium powder......

On Tuesday, Gou ordered Shu Jintang and Zheng Qiguang to preside over and quickly assemble the Foguang-class, Tianyu-class, and meteor-star flying thunder launchers on the motorized speedboats and fast gunboats of the sailor brigade.

Xiang Qingyun ordered the jeeps of all units to be taken back and converted into Meteor Flying Thunder Chariots, and the guerrilla areas along the Yangtze River to establish base areas on the banks of the Yangtze River and prepare gasoline for backup.

Shi Jilun ordered the Wumu caravan to collect a large amount of animal fat......

Hata Junroku suffered a big loss from the Wu Mu Army, and now he does not dare to act rashly, but he also calculated that the consumption of weapons and equipment of the Wu Mu Army is not small, especially explosives, steel, etc., so he ordered all the troops around the Wu Mu Army to strictly control the ammunition, and the large quantities of ammunition, including mines and other units that use explosives in large quantities, must be under the protection of heavy troops, and control the ammunition reserves of small strongholds, which is why the various units of the Wu Mu Army cannot get explosives.

Jin Manlou commanded the Jiangnan garrison detachment to quickly control the Yangtze River channel, which gave the devil a headache. And Jin Manlou is very shrewd, not to completely cut off the Yangtze River waterway, but to let the Yangtze River waterway pass, and let the devil stay to buy road money.

Zhao Dahu took back the meteor-star Tianyu-class thunder launchers of various units and installed them on motorized speedboats and gunboats, and then took back a batch of walkie-talkies and distributed them to the sailor brigade.

After full secret preparations, Zhong Limin took all the more than 80 motorized speedboats and 30 fast gunboats of the sailor brigade to set off from Taihu Lake, Changdang Lake, and Shijiu Lake into the Yangtze River, and then went straight upriver to the Guotong area.

Because the consumption of flying mines is extremely large, and the ammunition of the sailor brigade is not very sufficient, Zhong Limin ordered the sailor brigade not to cause disaster or trouble along the way, try not to start a war, and just go all the way.

When passing by the Nanjing wharf, the devils who did not know each other actually carried out fire interception. Zhong Limin ordered a motorized speedboat to counterattack 4 meteor thunderbolts, crippling 1 garrison team of devils.

The devil actually counterattacked with a 90mm mortar, injuring 1 motorized speedboat. Zhong Limin was furious, and ordered the rain and thunder on 1 fast gunboat to return fire 4 more rounds, and destroyed the Devil's River defense position, losing a lot of Devil's soldiers.

The devil didn't dare to provoke Zhong Limin anymore, so he could only report it urgently.

When Toshiroku Hata received the report, he ordered the troops along the Yangtze River not to take the initiative to provoke the sailors of the Wu Mu Army and let them move.

In the vicinity of Tongling, Zhang Tielong's guerrillas had already responded. Zhong Limin and the others replenished their supplies, slept beautifully all night, and then left three motorized speedboats and continued along the river.

When passing by Anqing, Zhong Limin fell in love with a lake area of Baidang Lake, Baitu Lake, and Huanzi Lake here, so he left 2 fast gunboats and 6 motorized speedboats, and left 2 fast gunboats and 6 motorized speedboats in Wangjiang Lake District.

Zhong Limin also picked up grass and rabbits along the way, attacked some devils' merchant ships, and handed them over to the local guerrillas after replenishing supplies, whether it was the Wumu Army guerrillas or the New Fourth Army or the [***] guerrillas, but they easily did not provoke the devils' warships, but the guerrillas who received Zhong Limin's benefits all praised Zhong Limin.

When they arrived in Wuhan, the devil's garrison laid a net for Zhong Limin, and heavy artillery along the river and planes in the sky overwhelmingly attacked the sailor brigade.

Zhong Limin had been prepared for a long time, and the fleet was very scattered, but he also lost 3 fast gunboats and 2 motorized speedboats. The sailor brigade also counterattacked with all the rain and thunder, meteor thunder, anti-aircraft guns, and light machine guns, stirring up the river defense positions around Wuhan, and then continued to advance upstream in a dashing manner.

Zhong Limin's troops rested in Honghu for two days, leaving behind 1 fast gunboat and 3 motorized speedboats, and marched towards Yueyang with all their might.

The Yueyang devil has received an order from Hata Junliu not to take the initiative to provoke the Wumu army fleet, and the 11th Army in Wuhan has also been strictly reprimanded, but Zhong Limin wants to provoke the devils in Yueyang, and the Wuhan devils offend him.

Zhong Limin led a fleet of more than 10 fast gunboats and more than 20 motorized speedboats into Dongting Lake, taught the devil's gunboats and steamboats a hard lesson, and then rested beautifully for a night in the defense area of [***], and then broke through the defense of Yueyang devils again and broke back to the Yangtze River.

In Yichang, Zhong Limin couldn't help but swagger into the [***] defense area before he swaggered into the [***] defense area and reported to Ouyang City in Zigui.

Liu Maoer saw that Zhong Limin's sailor brigade was far better equipped than herself, and she couldn't help but drool, but she couldn't rub her brother's oil.

Zhong Limin sent a report to Xishan, reporting that he had arrived safely in Zigui. The next day, Chennault's two bombers in Xishan airdropped the supplementary ammunition that Zhong Limin needed.

After a few more days, the devils launched an attack on Jiangnan [***], attacking Changde from Cili, Lixian, and Dongting Lake.

When Zhong Limin learned from Ouyang Cheng that Changde was in danger, he asked Ouyang Cheng to transfer Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Sixth Theater, to attack along the Yangtze River and harass the rear stronghold of the devils.

Sun Lianzhong replied, the battle situation is unknown, and I hope to be ready to go! The heart of serving the country can be learned from the moon!

As a result, Zhong Limin telegraphed Tuesday Dog, requesting another batch of ammunition and explaining the situation, while he paid close attention to the battle situation.

Changde was finally lost, and Zhong Limin hung his head but couldn't do anything. When he learned that the devil had withdrawn his troops, he was overjoyed and asked to attack again.

Sun Lianzhong is indeed old and serious, and he is still waiting to see what happens!

Finally, looking forward to Sun Lianzhong's order, the army began to cross the river and retreat north, and attack it quickly!

As a result, Zhong Limin commanded more than 10 fast gunboats and more than 20 motorized speedboats to go down the river and rush downstream at a speed of 50 knots.

Seeing the devils crossing the river, Zhong Limin ordered to kill the devil's river-crossing troops with the most fierce firepower. As a result, more than a dozen 8-mounted Tianyu Flying Thunder launchers opened fire together, firing hundreds of Tianyu Flying Thunder within five minutes, covering the surface of the Yangtze River. After firing five rounds of flying mines, Zhong Limin saw that the ammunition was running out, so he ordered to withdraw to Zigui.

Zhong Limin saw the devil's blood stained the Yangtze River in the telescope, and he didn't catch his breath in excitement.

Back in Zigui, Ma Bufang's transport team also arrived, and the butter and dried meat transported were more than 1,000 tons, and the supplementary ammunition from Xishan also arrived, so Zhong Limin boarded the fast gunboat with beef jerky in his mouth, and escorted 5 river boats down the river, this time the devils have learned to be obedient, and they will no longer provoke these killing gods, although the Yangtze River is wide enough, but the devils think that there is not so much blood flowing into it!

When the fleet arrived at Pengze, there was a transport team from Wu Mujun to pick it up, Zhong Limin thought that the land transport volume was too small, so the surname Suo escorted the river boat to Dangtu, and by the way, he hijacked more than a dozen devil transport ships. (To be continued.) )
