Zhang Haiyan said: "Junzao, the movement is so big, your whereabouts are likely to have been exposed." Let me take you to Ludong, brothers! (Note: Ludong refers to the area east of the Pinghan Line)

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "No, just let Brigade Commander Liu send a few people." ”

Brigade Commander Liu is the commander of the supplementary brigade Liu Zida, who has been fighting on the railway before, and is very familiar with the local geography. In addition, Zheng Weiguo also wanted to communicate more with this old subordinate, so as not to be estranged for a long time.

After reconnaissance, it was found that the Japanese troops in the Tongping area had indeed strengthened their vigilance. From time to time, you can see patrol cars whizzing past the railway line. When they spot suspicious targets, they open fire indiscriminately, killing and injuring many innocent people.

Additional manpower was also deployed to various strongholds along the line, and many places that were originally guarded by puppet troops were replaced by Japanese troops. In addition, there were also the Imperial Association Army and a team of detectives in civilian clothes who were conducting raids in the neighboring villages.

Ren Zhuzi felt a little tricky and said, "Brigade Commander Liu, are you sure?" If it doesn't work, let's send up our troops and force it through! ”

Liu Zida said with a smile: "No, the little devil's trick is not difficult for me." ”

Indeed, although the Japanese army guarded the railway line tightly, Liu Zida easily poked a big hole in it. He used to be in the road protection team, and most of the puppet soldiers and puppet policemen on this line were his former colleagues or even subordinates. With the connections accumulated over the years, the IOU couldn't be easier.

They didn't suffer any trouble along the way, and it was as smooth as inside the base area. Halfway through, they even had a meal of pig's trotters in a turret garrisoned by the puppet army.

Ren Zhuzi said in surprise: "It's really yours!" ”

Liu Zida complimented: "Hong Fu of the military seat." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "It's thanks to you." Zida, you stay in Ping'an County for a while. Wait until I've figured it out in Jizhong. I'll call you over to help. ”

Liu Zida was one of the first four company commanders under Zheng Weiguo, and made a lot of contributions to the rise of the anti-Japanese security regiment. But relatively speaking, his military talent is really not high, so the security regiment is growing day by day, but he is gradually marginalized.

The 97th Army is a young and vigorous new army, and Zheng Weiguo cannot tolerate relying on seniority. Liu Zida himself is very aware of this, so he has never complained. Of course, this is also what Zheng Weiguo values him.

When Liu Zida heard this, he was very happy and a little embarrassed, and said, "I." I can't fight. ”

Zheng Weiguo was relieved: "No one is born to fight. If you can't, you can learn it. And you also have your strengths, and I intend to give you a more important position. ”

Liu Zida's biggest advantage is his connections, and he is in the puppet army. It's a bit ironic, but it's practical. Zheng Weiguo planned to let Liu Zida take over as the intelligence director of the 97th Army. Make the most of his strengths. The mobilization of Japanese troops and materials was completely in the palm of your hand.

As for the former director of intelligence, Zhang Zhanyuan. It may be that I have been in the regular army for a long time, and my brain is a little rigid. Zheng Weiguo planned to transfer him to the reconnaissance section as a section chief, which could be regarded as making the best use of people.

Finally found a suitable intelligence chief. Zheng Weiguo was very happy. However, his good mood did not last long, and he was hit on the head as soon as he arrived in southern Hebei.

Director Xiong said very angrily: "Junzao, you came back just in time. Those Germans are clamoring to return to China and refuse to cooperate with us. ”

Zheng Weiguo was shocked and angry, and hurriedly said: "What's the situation?" "Cooperation with Germany is a very important part of his plan, and if it cannot be achieved, the follow-up development will encounter big problems.

Director Xiong poured himself a cup of tea, calmed his anger, and analyzed: "I don't think these people are sincere at all, they want to slip away after learning your special tactics." ”

Zheng Weiguo sneered: "If you take advantage of it, you want to leave, it's not that easy!" Since they have been shameless, it is better to resume their captive status from today onwards. ”

Director Xiong said: "However, the Military Commission has called and asked us to send them to the First War Zone as soon as possible, so as not to cause diplomatic trouble." ”

Zheng Weiguo quickly calmed down and said, "We may have thought about the situation too simply. This matter should be related to the adjustment of Germany's China policy. The bait of special tactics is too small, and we have to think of other ways. ”

Director Xiong said, "Why don't we change the object of cooperation?" ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can only find the Germans at the moment." "The Americans are gloriously isolated, Britain and France are engaged in appeasement policies, and the old Maozi of the Soviet Union can cooperate, but their appetite is too great, and coupled with the relationship between the Comintern, Zheng Weiguo does not dare to provoke them for the time being.

Germany is different, and for a long time they have been the most important partner of the national government. But with tensions between China and Japan, Hitler's government was faced with a major choice: to help China or Japan? This created a huge divide within Germany.

The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Beck, and the Minister of Defense, Blomberg, were inclined to support China. The group believed that Germany's strategic interest in China should be to deter a Japanese invasion by strengthening China's defense capabilities, thus eventually forcing Japan to turn to the Soviet Union in the Far East.

They believed that China was rich in resources and difficult to conquer, so it would be better for Germany to be a reliable anti-Soviet ally with China for a long time. At the same time, they were also worried that once Germany's ability to participate in and intervene in China's affairs weakened, China's relations with the Soviet Union would immediately improve and become closer, to Germany's detriment. And all the pressure that Japan is exerting on China at present is pressuring China to turn to the Soviet Union, which Germany does not want to see in any case.

In retrospect, this view was undoubtedly very far-sighted. If this scenario continues, the outcome of World War II is likely to be rewritten.

It is a pity that Hitler himself was more inclined to support Japan. In addition to the Wehrmacht, the vast majority of the German government also believed that Japan was stronger. In their opinion, the allies, of course, have to choose the strongest. Well, that's probably the difference between politicians and military strategists.

Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, wrote in his diary on August 3, 1937: "Hitler did not consider the situation [in China] serious. China was militarily inadequate, and Japan defeated it. This is very good, because it allows Japan to be more flexible against Moscow. [We] will not support China any further." ”

The head of the German advisory group, Falkenhausen, did not believe at all that Japan would achieve a final victory. In China, he repeatedly explained to the then German Defense Minister Blomberg that the Japanese army was not militarily efficient and could not defeat China. It was hoped that Blomberg would prevent or delay Germany's final decision to form an alliance with Japan and recall German advisers in China. He decided that what he did was in the best interests of the German nation (and in fact it was).

Zheng Weiguo threw out the bait of "special tactics" and gave the Wehrmacht faction a good excuse. However, the arrogant Germans did not think that the backward Orientals could teach them any advanced tactics, so Germany was rapidly sliding towards Japan.

Director Xiong also calmed down at this time. He thought for a moment and said embarrassedly, "But we really don't have anything we can handle." If we had, we wouldn't have to ask the Germans. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "No! I think there is something that the Germans will be interested in. ”

Director Xiong said curiously: "What is it?" ”

The first treasure is penicillin, and the traverser will not be this simply faceless. In fact. This stuff is really good to use. And the technical requirements are not high. In 1928, the British bacteriologist Fleming first discovered penicillin, but he failed to isolate and purify it. This technique was not until 1941, when the British pathologist Flory successfully extracted penicillin crystals by freeze-drying.

At that time the production of penicillin was extremely low until Ferory in a melon (also said watermelon. But I guess it doesn't matter what melon is) found a strain that can provide a large amount of penicillin. So mass production had to wait until 1942. And in the hands of the Allies.

After Zheng Huzi settled down in Ping'an County. A few professors from Peking were invited to start this work. Thanks to Zheng Huzi's advanced knowledge, they skipped the paste with long green hairs and went directly to the melons for experiments. After finding a high-yielding strain. Zheng Weiguo arrogantly demanded that they give up other culture fluids and directly use corn flour.

In short, under the rough command of Zheng Huzi, this work has achieved phased results. Now it's time for results.

The second treasure is the radar. It is said that the main culprit of the failure of the German air raid on Britain was this play. As early as 1922, Marconi, the father of radio, proposed a new concept: when visibility is extremely low, radio waves can be emitted to detect ships with "echoes" (actually reflected waves). This was probably the earliest radar idea.

In January 1936, W. Watt (also translated as Robert?) Watson? Watt) erected the first British radar station off the coast of Sofk. Five more were added to the British Air Force, and they played an important role in the Second World War. In 1937, the first US warship radar XAF test was successful.

And what about Germany? It's a pity to have been behind the Allies. Whether it is the technique or the application, it seems very clumsy. When Zheng Weiguo had not yet crossed, he had carried out some interesting missions, and for this purpose, he had specially learned about radar. He can even do some simple repairs.

When it comes to making radars, Zheng Weiguo really can't do anything. After all, he does not have a professional electronic expert around him, and he does not have a corresponding industrial base, but he is absolutely qualified to come up with an idea, for example, the 1.5cm center wavelength chosen by the Germans is a big bug. Correcting this mistake can take the performance of German-made radars to a higher level.

The third treasure is the missile. The V-2 missile developed by the German Army at the end of World War II caused great trouble for the Allies. Allied Commander-in-Chief Dwight D. Eisenhower even said that Europe would not be liberated if the enemy's missiles entered the war six months earlier! So Zheng Weiguo is still thinking about this matter, is there any need to be so ruthless?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Weiguo finally made up his mind - as long as he can save China, he can do anything, even if it is to cooperate with the devil!

So he directly called Marcel, the German military attache in China, who was hiding in the barracks, and demonstrated some of the new achievements to him. These include penicillin, and some other interesting ideas (Zheng Huzi swears that he has all the drawings).

Marcel stared at everything in front of him in amazement, and even though it was only a scale armor, it was enough to make him tremble. There was only one thought in his mind, hell, these things must belong to Germany, how could they fall into the hands of the Chinese?

Zheng Weiguo was holding the victory in his hands, and said triumphantly: "Mr. Marcel, I am very sincere. It's up to you now! ”

Marcel was embarrassed and said: "But Marshal Goering has ordered the withdrawal of the advisory group and the termination of military cooperation with China. ”

Zheng Weiguo rolled his eyes, slapped the case, and said angrily: "Very good, since you don't look down on it, then I'll go talk to the Soviets, I believe they won't be as blind as you!" ”

Marcel was startled, and hurriedly reached out to stop him, saying, "No, no, no! General Zheng, I mean you have to give me a little time, I have to convince the German government first. You are knowledgeable, and politicians are always short-sighted. ”

Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "That's your business." I don't have time to talk to you right now, and if I don't see your sincerity within a month, these things will have to be bought differently. ”

Marcel hurriedly said: "There is absolutely no problem, I swear in the name of God!" (To be continued......)
