"Captain, you can't lend artillery to the Russians, once the Russians use our artillery, the Japanese will definitely not let us go."

"If you don't borrow the Japanese, will you let us go?" Chen Jiliang said angrily: "The Japanese are already tense and want to attack the Northeast, and any army has the responsibility to defend the territory." Although the enemies around us look around, once the war starts, no one can be a bad seed, even if they spill their blood in Heilongjiang, they must fight to the death. ”

Chen Jiliang ordered all the navy soldiers to be gathered, a total of more than 100 people, and stood in front of them in unison. The river defense fleet sent by Beiyang had only four warships, the largest of which was the Jiang Heng, which was only 550 tons, and the other ships were even smaller.

Compared to the Japanese navy, this is even a negligible liliang, but they still keep their chests straight and their morale high, and these sailors at this moment represent the dignity of an ancient country.

"Brothers, before we set off, China and Japan were still allies, but at this time, the war clouds are already thick, we are surrounded by enemies, but Heilongjiang is frozen, and we can't leave here at all, what do you think we should do?"

These sailors all looked at each other, and they all focused their eyes on Chen Jiliang, and said in unison: "It's all up to the commander's orders, and everything is obeyed." ”

"Good!" Chen Jiliang said loudly: "From this moment on, everyone is ready to fight, once the war between China and Japan starts, we will abandon the ship and land, follow the example of the Russian guerrillas, attack the logistics line of the Japanese army, even if we fight to Zuihou alone, we will never surrender!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jiliang looked at all the soldiers with emotion: "Brothers, the shame of the First Wu is unforgettable, although we are weak. But we must also follow the example of Deng Gong, and would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile! ”

"It's better to be broken than to be broken!"

"It's better to be broken than to be broken!"

All the sailors gave an earth-shattering cry, and from this moment on, they all lay down their hearts and were ready for battle.

While Chen Jiliang was speaking, the Russian guerrillas had already used borrowed artillery to attack the Japanese Consulate General, and the loud sound of the cannon landslide and the ground cracked exploded, blowing up the Japanese fortifications, killing more than 30 people.

Immediately, these guerrillas stormed the Japanese Consulate General. More than 70 Japanese were killed and wounded, and more than 100 were taken prisoner, most of them civilians. The guerrillas also knew that they could not hold Temple Street for long, so when they left, they set fire to it. The thriving city was shrouded in billowing black smoke.

The fire burned for more than two days, and Temple Street was basically razed to the ground. In total, the Japanese side lost more than 600 people. More than 300 of them were burned alive by the fire and turned into a pile of charcoal.

The media quickly dubbed the incident the "Temple Street Incident" and vigorously reported it, constantly exaggerating the brutal acts of the Red Russian guerrillas, and the situation in the Far East changed again, and the United States, Britain, and other countries once again came forward to coordinate Sino-Japanese relations. The threat of Russia is still real, and a rash war between China and Japan will only cheapen the Russians.

The call for peace is rising, and it seems that the imminent war between China and Japan can be avoided for the time being. However, Zhang Tinglan did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and the most important thing at present was to strengthen military preparations and make the most haode preparations for everything.

Therefore, in addition to dispatching troops, Zhang Tinglan often went to military factories to supervise military production. Zhang Tinglan came to the arsenal again to inspect the situation, and the first thing he came to was the explosives factory, which was one of the aspects that Zhang Tinglan was most concerned about.

Although cooperation agreements have been reached with Germany, the talents and equipment are not in place, and we can only rely on the original production capacity, and there is a big gap. If the explosives can't keep up, no matter how many haode weapons they are, they all become scrap metal and have no value at all.

Chen Qiming, who is in charge of the production of explosives, said with a smile as soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan coming: "Dashuai has long known that you will come, and all the workers work in two shifts every day, 24 hours a day to produce explosives, and ensure that there is no rest for a moment." ”

"The big guys have worked hard, the safety of the three eastern provinces and even China is on everyone's body, and the production of explosives cannot be relaxed for a moment, if they can't keep up, the brothers can only go to the battlefield with burning sticks."

Chen Qiming said with a smile: "Dashuai, there is good news to tell you, after our research, we have made several mixed explosives of ammonium nitrate, although the power is somewhat lacking, but a large number of ammonium nitrate is used, the price is low, the production speed is fast, can meet the needs of the large army, I have asked all explosives factories to shift the focus of production to ammonium nitrate." ”

For ammonium nitrate explosives, Zhang Tinglan is of course very clear, this is the cheapest kind of explosives, and in World War II, all the participating countries used a large number of them. Rich as the United States, as strong as Germany, all without exception.

Although ammonium nitrate explosives have great shortcomings, limited power, and are easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate, the flaws are not concealed, ammonium nitrate explosives are easy to make, and the price is low, these two points are exactly what large-scale wars of attrition need most, and they are also the greatest attraction of ammonium nitrate explosives.

Among the first batch of machines they got from Germany, in addition to steel equipment, it was ammonia synthesis equipment. The three eastern provinces have a huge demand for chemical fertilizers, and after the ammonia equipment arrived, it began to operate immediately, and Fengjun has been able to produce ammonium nitrate fertilizer on a large scale.

In order to meet the demand for explosives, Chen Qiming immediately arranged for manpower to conduct a careful study of ammonium nitrate explosives, and achieved a lot of results.

"Marshal, we have mixed other explosives into the ammonium nitrate, which can increase the power and meet the performance needs of the army. At present, in addition to artillery shells and bullets, other mortar shells, grenades, blasting canisters, aerial bombs, etc. can all be replaced by ammonium nitrate explosives. The cost can be at least doubled, and the production speed will also be greatly increased, and the combination of the two can produce considerable results, at least two or three percent of the combat effectiveness can be increased. ”

Chen Qiming said: "Recently, we also mixed 20% of TNT explosives into the ammonium nitrate, and found that the explosion effect was quite good, and the power was almost comparable to TNT explosives. At present, we have hoarded 300,000 tons of ammonium nitrate, and if necessary, we can quickly produce 500,000 tons, and if the little devils dare to attack the idea of the three eastern provinces, they will all be blown to pieces! ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, 20 percent of TNT, plus 80 percent of ammonium nitrate, isn't this the formula of Ameto's explosives, it really makes people anxious, and they can do anything!

"Very good, I am very satisfied with the production of explosives, don't be afraid of more, the more the better, even if you don't fight with the Japanese for the time being, there are still Russians to deal with. Every life on the battlefield is precious, and we can solve it with artillery fire, absolutely without bayonets. ”

Chen Qiming said with a smile: "With the instructions of the big handsome, we have to let go of our hands and feet and produce on a large scale." ”

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "In addition to producing these, you also have to hurry up and develop aerial bombs and mines, and you must come up with finished products within three months, and ensure mass production within half a year. ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai!" Chen Qiming patted his chest and said with a smile: "Recently, a group of chemical experts from Belarus have been sent to the arsenal, their professional knowledge is far above mine, and they have been engaged in military production for many years and have rich experience. In addition, a group of German experts is about to arrive in Mukden and import another batch of equipment from Germany. With the support of talents from both countries, if you can't get qualified products, you are simply sorry for the strong support of the handsome! ”

Chen Qiming asked with a smile again: "Marshal, in particular, do you want to deal with the threat of Japanese warships?" ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded and said with a wry smile: "The Japanese have spent decades of hard work to build a powerful combined fleet, which must not be underestimated. At present, there is still sea ice in the Bohai Sea in winter, which is not conducive to the operation of large warships, but in the spring of the new year, the Japanese warships may come to our doorstep to commit murder. ”

Chen Qiming also knew that the matter was serious, and hurriedly said: "We promise to complete the task!" ”

Coming out of the explosives workshop, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly came to the largest experimental area of the Fengtian Arsenal. Just half a month ago, Feng Jun had just completed the design of the first light tank, and now he was about to officially shiyan performance, as the future king of land warfare, how important the tank is, Zhang Tinglan naturally knew very well, so he came to watch it in person.

After arriving at the Shiyan venue, a large number of people were already gathered together, smiling. A steel beast had already been placed in front of everyone, and Tao Jiping, who was in charge of equipment production, introduced the situation to Zhang Tinglan with a smile.

"Marshal, this tank has a total weight of eight tons, is equipped with a 37 mm main gun, and a coaxial machine gun, the thickness of the frontal armor has reached 20 mm, and there are 8 mm in other positions, and the maximum travel speed can reach 20 kilometers per hour and travel 100 kilometers."

To be honest, this tank looks a little small, far less powerful than a heavy tank, but Zhang Tinglan also knows that this is already the most haode level of the Feng army, and at this time Japan does not have similar equipment, it is a waste to have too many weapons ahead, and this kind of tank in front of him is enough for little Japan to drink a pot!

"Very good, let's get moving, let's all see how powerful it is."

Boom, the driver started the tank, and the wide tracks ran over the snow-covered ground, kicking up a burst of debris that looked extremely powerful. The performance of the tank was not bad, and the driving was very smooth, and Zhang Tinglan and Tao Jiping couldn't help but nod.

"After the verification is completed, it will be put into production immediately, and with the existing armored vehicles, a powerful assault liliang will be formed, and after this thing, we will be able to take the Japanese by surprise and make them defeated!" (To be continued......)
