When the Seventh Group Army was launching a large-scale counteroffensive in southern Liaoning, Zheng Weiguo was inspecting the newly established Shenyang Machinery Factory in Shenyang's Tiexi District. The factory, called the Machine Factory, was actually engaged in assembling cloud burst bombs, replacing parts for heavy artillery, and loading machine guns for helicopters.

Originally, these tasks should have been done by the Mukden Arsenal, but some time ago, the security department suddenly caught a Japanese spy waiting for an opportunity to sabotage in the arsenal, and dug up an astonishing amount of explosives under a workshop. At that time, the entire city of Shenyang was alarmed, and spies were arrested all over the city! Although dozens of them have been caught, no one can guarantee whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net.

For the sake of safety, Zheng Huzi had to start a new factory and build a new factory, using the best machines at hand, the workers were also strictly politically vetted, and the technicians and engineers were all Yankees.

Now in front of Zheng Huzi is an R4 helicopter, it is the United States is also the world's first large-scale production of helicopters, compared with the FW61 helicopter bought in Germany before, the functions are more complete, it can take off and land vertically, hovering, forward flight, backward flight, side flight and unpowered rotation and descent, etc., fully equipped with the flight characteristics of modern helicopters.

However, it is a pity that this thing can only sit for one person, and it does not even have a weapon for self-defense. The U.S. military did not intend to let it go to war, but put it on the warship to salvage the people who fell into the water.

In the previous naval battle of the Kuril Islands, Zheng Huzi accidentally learned that the US military was actually equipped with helicopters, and he was busy asking Admiral Arnold for a batch of them.

Arnold was also a particular person, except for leaving two planes for the Enterprise. Give all the helicopters on hand to the beard. Anyway, the Atlantic Fleet is about to return home, and when the time comes to cross the Panama Canal, the U.S. government will naturally make up for them, and it is likely to be newer R5 helicopters. If Zheng Huzi knows, it is estimated that he will scold the big dog again!

Soon, a helicopter was assembled, and the long barrel protruded from the front seat somewhat like a wasp. Zheng Huzi saw that his hands were a little itchy, so he proposed to take a test flight by himself. When I didn't cross over, which month didn't practice my hands, what Black Hawk, Straight 9, Straight 11. What model has not flown over? This R4. The ancestors of helicopters really haven't tried it!

The captain of the guard, Ren Zhuzi, hurriedly said: "This is not good, commander-in-chief, let the chief of staff and Deputy Commander Cheng know that you have to pick my skin!" ”

Zheng Huzi said angrily: "Why don't you say they know?" ”

The pillar said aggrievedly: "The consequences of concealing and not reporting are even more serious!" Zheng Huzi was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but this thing also learned skin. If you are in a hurry, you have to call Political Commissar Cheng and them.

Now the troops are in the process of becoming orderly. Every move must be in accordance with the norms. As the Supreme Commander of the Northern Chinese Army. Flying a helicopter without permission is certainly not allowed. After all, the quality of the current aircraft is very unreliable, and it is light to fall to your death.

Tan Zhen, the new director of the Political Department, is also a well-known "black-faced boss", and he likes to use leading cadres to establish his authority the most. In another time and space, he grabbed Comrade Liu Yimin's pigtails and didn't let go. made Mr. Liu discouraged and couldn't get off the stage. If you get a notice to criticize the whole army, where will Zheng Huzi's old face go?

There was no way, Zheng Huzi had no choice but to put down the commander-in-chief's shelf and "negotiate" with the guards of the second goods, and finally coerced and lured, and eighteen kinds of martial arts went into battle together, and finally obtained permission to climb three meters and rotate 360 degrees in situ. Rao is like this, which also makes Zheng Huzi happy.

After getting off the plane, Zheng Weiguo made several suggestions to the American engineers based on his own experience. Of course, it won't be a general recommendation, and the business value is at least five million dollars. Because these few simple improvements are enough to keep those helicopter bulls groping in the dark for another twenty years.

“Verygood!” The American engineer, who had always been very arrogant, had his eyes shining when he heard this, and looked at Zheng Huzi as if he had seen a mountain of gold, and asked eagerly: "With all due respect, are you really flying a helicopter for the first time?" ”

Zheng Weiguo laughed dryly twice, and said with a pun: "Well, of course, it's the first time in this world!" ”

"Oh God, you're a genius!" The Yankee complimented him inwardly and encouraged, "Why don't you test drive it for a while?" ”

In his opinion, if you turn around at a height of three meters, you can burst out so many good ideas, if you are 30 meters, 300 meters, 10 circles, 20 circles, will there be more discoveries, bigger breakthroughs?

……

As soon as he returned to the headquarters, he happened to meet Chief of Staff Zhou who walked out in a hurry, and complained: "Oh, commander-in-chief, you can count it back, Lao Cheng is in a hurry to find you!" ”

Zheng Weiguo asked weakly: "Oh, what's the matter, so anxious!" As he spoke, he glared at the pillar and gave them a fierce look. These second-class goods hurriedly shook their heads, indicating that it was really not a small report they made.

Chief of Staff Zhou looked at them strangely and said, "Isn't it to take a port in the Sea of Japan?" The troops in North China have been selected, but when to leave, which route to take, and supplies along the way are all waiting for you to make a decision! ”

Now there is no land or sea connection between the Second Theater of Operations and the US North Pacific Theater, and it can only rely on air transportation. Air transportation is precisely the most costly and least efficient means of transportation, and it cannot transport heavy equipment.

So the U.S. side is very keen to open a shipping route between Northeast China and Kamchatka for large-scale material delivery, and they also want to get military support from China.

Because the performance of the U.S. military in the early stage of the Pacific War was so poor that Admiral Arnold did not dare to land directly in Japan until the Chinese troops were in place. Of course, it can also be understood that he does not want more Americans to die.

No matter what the Yankees think, opening up international shipping lanes and participating in the landing on Japan will be of great benefit to the Second Theater and even to China. Therefore, Zheng Huzi attaches great importance to it. However, it is a very troublesome matter to which port to attack and which force to send to carry out.

Zheng Huzi simply kicked the ball directly to Taizu, asking the old man to quickly order 100,000 "heavenly soldiers and generals" no matter who he sent.

Taizu also attached great importance to this matter and decided to compete for the Northeast in the same way as in history. Select the elite from the whole D and all the army. If nothing else, almost all of the party members who can speak English are counted as one, so as to ensure that at least one of the command organs at all levels and each infantry company can speak English.

As for the final fall of the troops on the heads of the two major field armies of Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, 50,000 men will be drawn from each of these two field armies to the north to join up with the northern front army.

Then the Northern Front Army was reorganized into the Far Eastern Front Army, directly under the jurisdiction of three armies, the original Northern Front Army (that is, the Anti-Japanese Alliance) as the first army, the Jin-Cha-Ji Eighth Route as the second army, and the Jin-Cha-Lu-Henan Eighth Route as the third army.

The front army had Liu Shuai as its commander. Mr. Nie is the deputy commander. Deng Dada is the political commissar and former secretary of the party committee.

The reason for this arrangement was also based on the actual situation at that time. The five main forces of the Eighth Route at that time, Mr. He's Jinsui Military Region guarded the throat of the northwest region of North China, and it was also an important passage for northern Shaanxi to enter North China. He withdrew. What if the national army takes the opportunity to grab territory?

Mr. Xu's Shanxi New Army also has this problem. The First War Zone has always wanted to return to Nakajo Mountain. Hu Zongnan has always wanted to meddle in the southwest of Jin, and the Taiyuan Battle has also reached a critical moment, so he can't leave anyway.

Mr. Lin's Shandong Eighth Road is a strong team. This plane is even stronger than it was in history. It's a pity that there are still a large number of Japanese troops on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and Tang Enbo's Central Army often causes friction in Luxi. Moreover, Shandong is also an important passage from North China to Central China, and if the main force of Shandong is transferred, the communication between the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will be cut off.

Therefore, the troops of Jinchaji and Jinji, Luyu, which are located in the heart of the heart, are the most idle, and it is a waste to put them away.

Zheng Weiguo secretly thought that this arrangement was not bad, didn't Liu Shuai always want to engage in that "Contract Tactics"? It's a pity that that style of play has too high requirements for equipment and personnel quality, at least when he was alive, China has never met such conditions. Well, now that the Americans are equipping them, there is finally hope for success.

After agreeing on the marching route and logistical supplies with Chief of Staff Zhou, Deputy Commander Zhang, and Political Commissar Cheng, Liu Shuai and the others finally set off.

The first advance troops arrived in half a month, but the large troops behind them walked for nearly two months. Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Huzi was busy and carried out another winter offensive to completely drive the Japanese army in southern Liaoning out of the Liaoning Peninsula.

The North Korean army, which had invaded from the east, was also driven across the Yalu River. After the Japanese fled to the other side of the river, they carefully blew up all the bridges on the Yalu River, and then desperately built permanent fortifications on the opposite bank, for fear that Zheng Huzi would cross the river.

The northern front was facing the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the situation was the most critical, and the Japanese army even entered Siping City for a time, but in the end it was stubbornly driven out by Li Liangrong.

As logistical supply problems began to arise, the Japanese were finally unable to attack again. The exhausted Japanese Kwantung Army froze to death countless times in the past few months, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers fell everywhere in the snow outside Siping City, frozen and tied hard. Subsequently, the Japanese army took the initiative to break the siege and fled north, and the First Army has now begun to attack Changchun.

The smooth advance of these three armies provided great convenience for the counteroffensive of the Far Eastern Front.

And the U.S. military then brought good news -- five new ships each of the Essex-class aircraft carriers and the Independence-class light aircraft carriers were launched, and the "Saratoga" that had been stripped off the deck had also been repaired. I won't say much about the status of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, which was the most advanced aircraft carrier at that time. The Independence-class light aircraft carrier is not bad, at least it is a lot stronger than the Hawk-class route converted by the little devil from a tanker, because it itself is a light cruiser configuration.

President Roosevelt sent New Year greetings to the Second Theater of Operations during the Spring Festival of '43 (February '43), and said that all eleven aircraft carriers would be allocated to the North Pacific Theater. Five of these light aircraft carriers could also directly cooperate with the Second Theater of Operations, and Roosevelt even hinted that as long as the Second Theater fought well, he could persuade Congress to send these five "little guys" to the Second Theater.

Zheng Huzi was taken aback, Nima, such a heavy salute is to sell us to death! Is it going to take 43 years to kill the little devil? Don't be in such a hurry!

Later, they learned that the United States had been tricked by mustaches in Europe, and they originally thought that the German army would directly attack the British mainland. Unexpectedly, the mustache shook a shot, and suddenly the troops split into two ways and launched a pincer offensive towards Egypt. The Anglo-American forces in North Africa were cornered and fled to India.

Now that the Mediterranean has completely become a bathtub for the Germans and the noodle country, and Britain has lost India's manpower and materials, the whole country is crumbling, relying on American blood transfusions to hang on for a breath, without waiting for the Germans to attack, maybe they will die that day. Roosevelt was also anxious, carrying a pig's head everywhere to find the temple gate, so at this time, Zheng's beard also became a fragrant bait. (To be continued......)
