Chapter 468, The Arrival of 1940.

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon shuttle, and time comes to February 8, 1940, which is the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Spring Festival.

At this time, Shanghai was already able to produce 21-inch black-and-white TVs in large quantities, and Jiang Qiang also produced 18-inch color TVs according to his own later technology, Jiang Qiang also ordered people to send 100 to the chairman, where Yan'an Jiang Qiang also entrusted Xia Qing to send 50 TVs, all of which were color TVs, and Yunwu Mountain sent nearly 1,000 TVs.

Television sets were invented independently by Ferro Farnsworth, Veratimir Sforrogin, and Baird, but there is a difference between the televisions invented by the trio, Baird (his full name is John Logie Baird) whose television is a mechanically scanned television, and Ferro Farnsworth and Veratimir Sforrogin's television which is an electronic television. People usually refer to the Scotsman Joh Lodge on October 2, 1925

Logie Bai

d) In an experiment in London, the image of a puppet was "scanned" as a sign of the birth of television, and he was called the "father of television". However, this perception is controversial; Because, also in that year, the Russian Veratimir Sfrogin (Vladimi

Zwo

yki

(He works at Westinghouse

Ghouse) showed his boss his television system) and Ferro Farnsworth in 1927 also invented television, respectively.

Despite the same time, Joh

Logie Bai

d) with Vladimir Sfrogin (Vladimi

Zwo

yki

There is a big difference between it and Ferro Farnsworth's television system. Joh Logie Baird

Logie Bai

d) was called a mechanical television, while the television system of Veratimir Sfrogin and Ferro Farnsworth was called an electronic television. This difference is mainly due to the difference in the principle of transmission and reception.

The first television set was invented in 1924 by British electronic engineer John Baird, and in 1928, RCA TV in the United States took the lead in broadcasting the first TV series "FelixTheCat", since then, television sets have begun to change human life, information transmission and way of thinking. Since then, mankind has begun to enter the age of television. From black and white to color, from analog to digital, from spherical to flat.

The development of television is complex. There were many people doing the same research at about the same time. In 1928, Baird's company produced the Baird Model C television, the world's first mass-produced television set.

In 1954, Texas Instruments (RCA) developed the first all-transistor television receiver RCACT-100, which adopted the NTSC system and was sold for $1,000 at Westinghouse Electric in the United States that year. At the time, TV picture tubes were very expensive, and each of RCA's TVs was a loss-making business, but when a new sample came to market, they were able to recoup twice as much in a short period of time.

This is also the twelfth Spring Festival experienced by Jiang Qiang after crossing the border, and like last year, the Shandong People's Radio Station staged a Spring Festival Gala that lasted more than four hours on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Not only can the whole of Shandong watch the Spring Festival Gala in closed-circuit television, cinemas, broadcast halls and other equipment and facilities, but also broadcast simultaneous news broadcasts to the world through radio stations.

With the experience of the last time, the quality of this year's Spring Festival Gala program has gone further, and various programs are wonderful, full of tears and laughter, and have won full applause from beginning to end.

Even the chairman of the Chongqing CPPCC National Committee was watching the Spring Festival Gala in Shandong with his family in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The chairman of the committee said, "Niang Xipi, this Jiang Qiang is really good at doing things, he can even do it on TV, I can see it thousands of miles away from Shandong, this guy is really a fan." ”

Jinan Film Studio released "Jingwu Heroes", "Japanese Spies", "Bloody Loyal Souls", "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers", "Tears of Dancing Girls", "Defending Hometown", "Legend of Yunwu Mountain", "Hero Huang Feihong" and other new New Year films during the Spring Festival.

These color sound films were not only released in theaters in major cities in China, but also in the United States. Hello everyone is really good, Jiang Qiang will naturally not be stingy with money while earning a lot of gold and silver, whether it is a foreign company, or an enterprise or institution in the jurisdiction, and the military, they have issued a wave of year-end bonus benefits.

For a while, the praise was overwhelming, and there were laughter and laughter at home and abroad, and countless people were grateful for Jiang Qiang's gifts, and their hearts were full of hope and faith. Through these routine operations, Jiang Qiang really swiped a wave of presence and prestige, and at the same time earned a lot of box office income.

Before the Spring Festival, the transportation in the enemy war zone was finally completely over, and even if the little devil wanted to grind foreign workers, he had to have a head. After five months of marathon sea transportation, it was finally counted that several million refugees from enemy-occupied areas had entered the defense zone of the Shandong Military Region, including more than 2.8 million women, children, the elderly, and children, accounting for 21 percent of the total population.

The adult strong labor force is just over 1 million, accounting for less than 10%. There is no way, now the Nationalist Government and the Japanese devils are frantically arresting strong men everywhere, and the vast majority of the strong men are either forced to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder, or they are caught building fortifications, digging coal and building roads everywhere.

In order to settle these large influx of refugees, Jiang Qiang's financial, material, and human resources are really astronomical, and if it were not for a large amount of blood transfusion from the United States, even if Jiang Qiang had a huge income in Myanmar, Xinjiang, and Afghanistan, he would not be able to withstand it.

In particular, the frenzied devils have dropped bacteriological weapons and tortured refugees in various ways, which has doubled the cost of epidemic prevention and medical treatment. Although Jiang Qiang spent rations, medicines and wealth that even the little devils found incredible, he harvested nearly 400 people, although women, children, and children accounted for the vast majority.

So far, the population of the Huaxia Huben Army has reached more than 2,200,000, and the war potential has increased unprecedentedly. After the Spring Festival, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Qiang took a helicopter in civilian clothes to Potai County, which is located in the northernmost part of the defense area.

I have been "living in peace" with the devil for five months, and now that spring is coming, the vast ice and snow are beginning to melt gradually, and it is time for the Shandong Group Army to come out and move its muscles and bones.

The main purpose of Jiang Qiang's visit to Potai County today is to survey the terrain, and it is impossible for the peaceful days to last, even if he doesn't go out to fight the little devils, the little devils will come sooner or later. Jiang Qiang launched the autumn offensive and fought several brutal and bloody urban street battles in a row, completely shattering the Japanese army's vain attempt to fight with the Shandong Group Army with its strong force value and disparity in battle loss ratio.

After thinking about it several times, the Japanese base camp had to "break the wrist of a strong man" and reluctantly gave up Putai County, Gaoyuan County, Qingcheng County, Qidong County, Zouping County and other county towns located in the plain area. Before withdrawing, the devils not only removed all the materials in the city, blew up important fortifications, but also destroyed the original Yellow River defense line.

After the Shandong Group Army was stationed, Jiang Qiang immediately sent a large number of construction engineering teams to repair, reinforce and thicken. After half a year of high-intensity construction, these newly recovered counties now not only have completed urban fortifications and air defense shelters, but also have road networks.

In addition, the Yellow River defense line outside Putai County has also been repaired and reinforced, and the Shandong Group Army and the Japanese army on the north bank have formed a confrontation across the river. On June 9, 1938, after the Huayuankou breached, the Yellow River quickly drained down the Jialu River.

The next day, a torrential rain fell in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water volume of the Yellow River increased sharply, and the Huayuankou breach was washed away, and at the same time, the silted Zhaokou was also washed away. After the confluence of the two streams of Zhaokou and Huayuankou, the Jialu River began to overflow, and the overflowing river water broke the Longhai Railway and flowed towards the southeast of Henan. Along the Jialu River, Yinghe River, Whirlpool River into the Huai River, the water overflows, the disaster people are all over the wilderness, so the Yellow River is diverted, and the Yellow River borrows the Huai River into the sea.

Due to the diversion of the main stream of the Yellow River, the old channel of the Yellow River, which was originally in Shandong, was several hundred meters wide, but now the river is less than 100 meters wide. However, the outcrops of the riverbed were still very thick with silt, making them unsuitable for heavy tanks to drive directly through. "We have the Yellow River in the north, and the terrain in the south is complex and mountainous, if we want to go further, we have to find a way!"

Looking at the river in front of him, looking at the defensive positions and batteries of the devils on the opposite side, Jiang Qiang said with a headache: "If you have any good ideas and opinions, please put them forward." ”

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Fuyu built extremely strong fortifications on both sides of the Yellow River. Han Fuyu knew that the Lubei Plain was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it was difficult to confront the Japanese army head-on in this plain, so he had long been prepared for the worst and wanted to confront and compete with the Japanese devils with the help of the Yellow River.

But the plan is not as fast as the change, Han Fuyu led the descendants of the troops and the Japanese army to fight a few bloody battles, only to find that the Third Route Army, which he had spent countless efforts to build, was not the opponent of the Japanese devils at all. So, Han Fuyu, who was originally a little reluctant to fight for his family's background, took advantage of this reason to give up the natural danger of the Yellow River, the provincial capital Jinan, and the Taishan defense line, and retreated directly to several small counties in southwest Lu to survive.

Han Fuyu blew up the Yellow River railway bridge before leaving, but did not carry out large-scale damage to the fortifications on both sides of the Yellow River. The little devil gathered heavy troops to besiege Jiang Qiang's headquarters on a large scale, intending to annihilate this thorn in the flesh in one fell swoop and shatter one of the backbones of the anti-Japanese forces in China.

Jiang Qiang fought against the odds, fought with the Japanese army to the end with the worst intentions, and finally relied on the fortifications that had been painstakingly operated for many years and the bloody battles of the soldiers, and the Japanese army was heavily damaged to defend the anti-Japanese forward base. Later, the Shandong Group Army rapidly grew and gradually expanded its anti-Japanese base areas against the offensive against the defense, and successively recovered large areas of lost territory, which greatly increased the pressure on the Japanese 12th Army stationed in Shandong.

The Twelfth Army, which was responsible for besieging the Shandong Group Army, could only turn around and focus its defense on the defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River, the Taishan defense line, the defense line along the canal, and the mountain fortress in southeast Lu. In the past year or two, the little devil has spent a lot of manpower and material resources on his life, not only to carry out large-scale reconstruction and reinforcement of the original defensive line fortifications, but also to add a few mountain fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In particular, the coastal defense line on the other side of the Yellow River resembles an impregnable Maginot Line, with not only three semi-permanent trenches lined up by a long line, but also a myriad of permanent defensive pillboxes and forts.

In particular, the terrain on both sides of the Yellow River is high in the north and low in the south, and the Japanese positions on the opposite side of the Yellow River are a cut higher than their own, occupying a considerable geographical advantage.

In order to build the defense line on the north shore, the Japanese devils forcibly requisitioned more than 500,000 strong laborers in Shandong, and under the long-term and high-intensity labor, more than 5,000 migrant workers died of injuries and diseases!

The defense line on the south bank in front of you is a flesh and blood fortification accumulated by countless innocent corpses! Wang Qiang put down the binoculars, pondered for a while, and then took the lead in speaking: "Boss, the little devil really took great pains to contain and besiege us!" In the past, in order to prevent the devil from invading Shandong, Governor Han built fortifications on both sides of the Yellow River, of course, focusing on the south bank!

Now the little devil is on the other hand, focusing on the south bank of the defense, and the scene in front of him can only be described as thirty years east of the river and thirty years of west of the river! Yun Qichang nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, these fortifications on the other side alone are enough for us to drink a pot!" Even if we use aircraft and heavy artillery carpet bombing first, it will be difficult to effectively destroy, not to mention that the heavy equipment cannot directly cross the river to attack, and if the infantry charges alone, the cost of casualties may be unbearable! ”

Wang Qiang and Gu Liangmin were senior generals of the Third Route Army, and they naturally knew the Yellow River defense line in front of them well, because they had been stationed here for a long time before.

Although it is said that due to the diversion of the Yellow River due to the bursting of the embankment at Huayuankou, the old course of the Yellow River that originally entered the sea from Shandong did not have the magnificent momentum of the previous surging at all, but the river surface is still dozens of meters wide, and the defensive advantages on both sides of the river are still there.

On the contrary, the river has become much shallower, and the exposed riverbed on the south bank has become a muddy tidal flat with a width of more than 100 meters, which further limits the combat ability of using landing ships to directly transport heavy equipment to the opposite bank to grab a beach landing! Therefore, Wang Qiang and Gu Liangmin shook their heads, and they were not optimistic about crossing the river from the front, because it was too cost-effective!

Not to mention the well-armed, well-trained, and tenacious Japanese devils on the other side, even if they were replaced by the former Third Army, they could pay a huge price in casualties.

At this time, Chen Zhengnian pointed to the bridge that was faintly visible in the upstream direction with his hand and said: "Boss, the Japanese devils have repaired the blown up Yellow River Railway Bridge, so why can't we suddenly attack and take this railway bridge?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, right?" "Devils aren't that stupid, are they?" "Yes, the little devil has not only built a large number of permanent fortifications, but also has heavy guards, and it is difficult to break through from the front." "Even if we can gnaw all these hard bones off, the little devils will definitely blow it up before we take the railway bridge. ……”

As soon as Chen Zhengnian's words fell, a large group of people couldn't stop shaking their heads, because they all had such thoughts in their hearts, but after careful scrutiny, they found that this ideal was full of reality, and the possibility of successfully taking away the railway bridge was basically zero.

Chen Zhengnian did not give up, and then said: "We have a helicopter brigade and an airborne regiment, if we move fast enough, it is still possible to seize the bridge before the devil bombs the bridge!" Li Jinglin hurriedly answered: "That's right, our airborne troops have the confidence and ability to complete this task!"

As long as the command is given, we can carry out destructive bombing of the devil's position, and in a short period of time, we can put an airborne regiment of 3,000 people to occupy the Yellow River railway bridge until the main force is victorious! ”

Since the formation of the airborne regiment, Li Jinglin has really not wasted any effort in this regard, and now he can not only use helicopters to parachute in, but also directly use airplanes to paratroopers.

Li Jinglin had already tested the new tactics and training results with actual combat, and as soon as he heard Chen Zhengnian's proposal, he immediately stood up. "If that's the case, it seems a bit feasible!" "Well, the key to this tactic is to be fast and ruthless, and to beat the little devil with lightning speed!" "Yes, a frontal attack must be fought quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to prevent the Japanese army from blowing up the bridge even if the airborne regiment pays a big price!"

"If we can really occupy the bridge completely, this is really an excellent offensive fulcrum for us" Wang Qiang, Gu Liangmin and others all fell into a state of thought, everyone knows the important military role of such a cross-river railway bridge, and everyone wants to be able to raid successfully. "Your ideas are good, but the time is not yet ripe! We are here today mainly to inspect and survey the site as a precautionary measure! ”

Jiang Qiang also thought about this plan of crossing the river to the north, but the possibility would also be very low, the little devil is not stupid, knowing that he has a large number of maneuverable helicopters in his hands, he will definitely guard against this hand.

To tell the truth, Jiang Qiang is really not in a hurry to go to the devil and fight hard now, because that will only frantically attract the hatred and attention of the devil, so that the little devil will do his best to fight himself earlier. Jiang Qiang is not a hairy boy with strong blood, and he knows very well that the war potential of the Japanese devils is still at its peak, and the whole country has been brainwashed and poisoned by fanatical militarism.

If we want to turn the tide against the wind and completely defeat these war madmen, we will have to go through a long struggle, pay countless casualties, and we will need patience and patience. Even at the end of World War II, the United States, which was already in its heyday, had an absolute advantage, but in February 1945, during the strategic counteroffensive stage, the battle for the Pacific islands encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses.

The Battle of Iwo Jima, which is famous for its bloody cruelty, took place at this time, and the Japanese army's "meat bullet" and "kamikaze" tactics made the American army suffer a lot. After going through these hardships, the United States realized that although Japan was at the end of its power, Japan's resistance would become more and more stubborn as the front advanced toward the Japanese mainland.

Although the powerful US Navy has advanced to its doorstep, the frenzied Japanese military government has not conceded defeat, and in order not to become a good meal for the United States and the Soviet Union, Japan still wants to involve the people of the whole country in this confrontation.

The "100 million jade shatters" plan is to fight the enemy with his life, hit the enemy with suicide, and reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness. In order to ensure the implementation of the Jade Crushing Plan, Japan has also developed a lot of brutal weapons, which are extremely lethal and can cause great damage to the enemy, but at the same time, they will also kill themselves.

One of them is a suicide submarine with a bomb, which is designed to ram an enemy warship and cause an explosion, which is a meat bomb attack that will also end in death. Even such cruel methods are used, which shows how crazy the Japanese government is, once they are really forced to jump over the wall, it will be really fun!

Therefore, Jiang Qiang really didn't want to go alone to the little devil so early, how could he let the little devil go south and pull the Yankees into the water, otherwise if there was no southward attack, the process of the Huaxia Theater would definitely be extremely variable.

After a pause, looking back at the somewhat lost people, Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "You really don't have to worry, there is already intelligence that the little devil is forming a new combat group, and the combat target is us!"

So we don't need to go to the little devils, it won't be long before they come to the door, and then let's wait for work and eliminate a large number of devils' living forces, so what's the fun of it? ”

"Really?" "Soza, you're not kidding us to make fun of us?" Hearing this, Wang Qiang, Gu Liangmin and others looked at Jiang Qiang with bright eyes, their eyes full of hope. It would be great if you could consume a lot of devil's vitality in a defensive stance. Because the experience of many bloody battles has taught them that the little devil is really not muddy.

Even if you have the advantage in equipment and troops, if you want to conquer the defensive fortresses and cities where the devils are stationed, you will have to pay a considerable price for casualties. "The information will definitely not be fake, do you think that the little devil is really completely scared by us, and he doesn't hold grudges, and will always live in peace with us?" Jiang Qiang nodded heavily and said: "According to calculations, most of the time in March and April, the little devils will start to act. "That's great!" "Hehe, I'm not afraid that the little devils will come to make trouble, I'm afraid that they won't be able to come out!" "Yes, let's serve as soldiers and eat food, not just for a living, but to protect our family and defend the country, and drive the little devil back to our hometown as soon as possible!"

Wang Qiang and the others showed smiling faces, but it was not because they were bloodthirsty and warlike, but because they had long formed a blood feud with the devil. At the same time, as hot-blooded men in China, they are more eager to kill the invaders as soon as possible, restore the great rivers and mountains of China as soon as possible, and let the people of the world get rid of war and slavery as soon as possible!

This is also the soul of the Chinese nation that has experienced countless crises for thousands of years, but can finally stand! "However, don't be too happy, you all have to be mentally prepared, the little devils have suffered many big losses, this time they will definitely move seriously, we will face unprecedented pressure and bloody battles."

Jiang Qiang said in a deep voice with an extremely serious expression: "And we can only win this battle, not lose, because if we win, we will completely gain a firm foothold, and the little devils will no longer dare to take the initiative to infringe on us, and we will gain the strategic initiative." If we lose, not only will we all be martyred, but our relatives will be slaughtered by the devils, and tens of millions of people in the jurisdiction will fall into the butcher's knives and brutal slavery of the devils. ”

"Please rest assured, people are in the position, people are dead!"

"These little devils want to eat us, it depends on whether their teeth are sharp enough!" "That's right, if the little devil wants to break into our defense zone, he must first step over our corpses!" "These little devils come and kill one by one, come and kill a group of people!"

"Just let them go!" Wang Qiang, Gu Liangmin, Chen Zhengnian and others are not three-year-old children, where do they not know that the little devil has been holding back for so long, and he has not dared to launch a frontal attack again, he must be accumulating strength.

Once the devils are encircled and suppressed again, they will definitely suffer unprecedented pressure, but they have long lost their fear of the Japanese invaders, as long as the devils dare to come, they will definitely not retreat half a step!

"Okay, the military heart is available!"

Jiang Qiang nodded with satisfaction, saying that there will be a nest of soldiers, and if these henchmen in their hands are afraid of the enemy like tigers, then don't expect them to take the lead in the battle in the future!

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Qiang waved his hand and said: "Let's see here today, after we go back, we will sit down and study the defense plan, and all troops will send capable forces to various forward positions to adapt to simulated defense drills!"

The little devil must be more anxious than us, the storm is definitely inevitable, and the little devil is really not easy to deal with when he goes crazy! Again, we can despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically! Alright, call it a day! ”

"Nani? Did the senior generals of the Shandong Group Army come to inspect Putai County? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! However, the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and just as Jiang Qiang was about to walk down the city wall to the tarmac to return, a devil squadron leader on the other side of the river discovered the situation here.
