When dozens of planes took off from the runway one after another and flew to their foreign battlefields, Duan Peng couldn't help but burst into tears, because these planes were his masterpieces, Chinese planes built from the Eighth Route Army aircraft factory.

Now that they are going to be important equipment in the fight against the Fascists, how can he not be excited.

This delivery ceremony caused quite a stir again, and now the Eighth Route Army is about to become the most important arms supplier to the Allies.

It's the end of the month again, and this time it's good news, which makes the leaders of the Eighth Route Army so excited that they can't sleep, because this time it's the Eighth Route Army's navy that is about to usher in the first real warship.

You must know that before this, although the navy was said to have been created, there were only a few small fishing boats for practice.

Well, now the first Mustang-class gunboat is about to be ushered in, and the Mustang-class gunboat that is about to be launched this time is quite advanced, so the leaders of the Eighth Route Army are really excited, with the Mustang-class gunboat, the Eighth Route Army Navy can be regarded as a real navy.

Although this can only be regarded as a near-water navy, it is also a force that can fight in the near sea, and even this kind of gunboat can fight big with a small and adopt wolf pack tactics, that is, the cruiser of the little devil is coming, and it can also overturn it.

Therefore, the Mustang-class gunboat is also quite important to the Eighth Route Army, and this launch will also hold a grand launching ceremony, and the leaders of the Eighth Route Army will come to participate in the launching ceremony.

Therefore, in the shipyard of the Eighth Route Army, Duan Peng led everyone to make the entire launching ceremony very festive and grand.

There are colorful flags fluttering everywhere, there are no lively scenes, and there are many propaganda slogans, and the Eighth Route Army Navy is really created.

Today is the day when the first boat, No. 901, the Mustang class, was launched, and many people came to the launching ceremony, including the newly created Navy, and hundreds of people came.

In addition, hundreds of people from the shipyard also came to the launching ceremony, so you can see the lively atmosphere at the scene.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army came to the scene, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.

Li Yunlong is also here today, and he is now very interested in naval equipment, and he is not satisfied with the air force, and he even wants to have a fleet one day.

It's just that it's unlikely at the moment, after all, the navy is independent and directly under the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

When they came to the launching ceremony and saw the Mustang-class gunboat in front of the slipway, the leaders realized that the original 300-ton gunboat was really not small, like a small mountain.

Underneath its hull are two hulls, just like those catamarans, propping up the upper hulls by two potentially underwater hulls.

In the middle of the bow deck, there is a naval gun, which looks very beautiful, this is a compact 76 mm rapid-fire naval gun.

In addition, on the sides of the boat there were two six-barreled 20-mm Gatling guns and four 14.5-mm Gatling guns, which were not covered in firepower.

The leaders were all amazed, this Mustang class gunboat is really good.

Its construction cost is also relatively low, and it can be equipped in large quantities.

Of course, the large batch of the Eighth Route Army is a very small batch compared with Germany and the little devils.

After all, a boat of several hundred tons like this, whether it is a German or a little devil, is the equipment of thousands of ships.

On both sides of the hull, there are also triple torpedo tubes, which are the deadly killers of large warships, and they will definitely not be able to overturn those thousand-ton warships by relying on naval guns, so they have to rely on torpedoes.

Of course, this torpedo was also designed by Duan Peng, this is a 330 mm diameter torpedo, its power is not particularly large, but it is enough to sink a 1,000-ton warship, if it is a few, it can sink a 10,000-ton giant ship.

Of course, the inside of the torpedo tube is empty, and it is not loaded, including the naval guns, and the inside of the shell clip below is empty, and these will not be loaded until the sea trials.

The top of the beautiful mast, although it is said that it has not yet been installed with radar, but it is also expected to be installed in the future, after all, the ships of the Navy will have radar in the future.

Soon, the launching ceremony officially began, and of course Yunxia presided over the launching ceremony, she was a heroine, beautiful and capable.

Yunxia stood on the viewing platform and said with a smile: "Respected leaders, comrades, today is our Eighth Route Army shipyard, ushering in the day when the first Mustang-class gunboat was launched, it can be said that in order to be able to make the Mustang-class gunboat, can be completed and launched as scheduled, our shipyard up and down, are working overtime, and finally we have lived up and down the expectations of the leaders, now everyone has seen that on the slipway is our Mustang-class gunboat 901 boat, it is the first warship of our navy, So let's be proud of it! ”

The applause was very warm, and then Yunxia invited the leaders of the Eighth Route Army to speak.

The leader said very happily: "Comrades, today is a day that is about to be recorded in the history of the Eighth Route Army, we now not only have our own navy, but also about to usher in our navy's first warship, the Mustang-class gunboat 901 boat, it is designed and built by ourselves, I think it is a very remarkable achievement, here on behalf of the military, to all the comrades who have contributed to the Mustang class gunboat and the construction of our navy, I would like to express my gratitude!" ”

There was another round of warm applause, and after the leaders finished speaking, the launch was about to begin.

Duan Peng personally gave the order, several workers cut the rope tied to the gunboat, and under the action of gravity, the Mustang gunboat slowly slid from the track into the water.

The Mustang gunboat entered the water and splashed a lot of waves, which looked very spectacular. The leaders applauded, and the workers lit firecrackers again, and the scene was very festive.

After the Mustang class gunboat is launched, it will have to carry out some suit work before sea trials can begin.

Of course, at this time, the construction of the second Mustang-class gunboat had already begun, so in order to be in a hurry, we could only start building the second one without waiting for the completion of the sea trials of the first boat.

Of course, this is also because the weapons and equipment designed by Duan Peng have never had any major problems, and this is in wartime, so even if there are some minor problems, it is acceptable and does not need to be repeatedly modified.

After the Mustang gunboat was launched, the leaders also came to the boat to visit and understand.

Now in the cabin, it is still the same as the rough room, but it looks quite remarkable, and the leaders have praised Duan Peng.
