The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

After the meeting was over, Zhang Yunfei went back to the regiment headquarters, his office, sat down and thought about it, and found that he had a lot of things to do.

Hey, what a hard life. It seems that I will be busy for a while. By the way, I am back and haven't reported to the headquarters yet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei quickly asked the correspondent to send a report to the headquarters, saying that he and more than [-] members of the special forces team had returned to Xin'an County safely.

Not long after, the headquarters came back with a telegram, congratulating myself and the special forces team on their safe return. At the same time, I sent a commendation order for my achievements in Xuzhou and Tianjin, and told Zhang Yunfei that because of his outstanding performance, Chairman Jiang in Wuhan had authorized Zhang Yunfei's 719 Regiment was expanded into the 18th Division of the No. 136 Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the letter of appointment has been given to the staff of the ** Office in Wuhan.

Hearing this news, Zhang Yunfei thought, this is the most important reward. Unexpectedly, Chairman Jiang in Wuhan really gave him the designation of the 136th Division. Now he has a strong army and is worried that he will not be able to expand the army. He is really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. [

At the same time, the telegram requested Zhang Yunfei to report the establishment of the 136th Division to the headquarters as soon as possible. After the headquarters agreed, Zhang Yunfei could officially expand the army and use the designation of the 136th Division to the outside world.

At the end of the telegram, Commander Zhu also specifically stated that they must be notified when the expansion meeting of the 136th Division is held, and he will attend the meeting.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Yunfei felt that he finally had a role to play as a hero. The former battalion commanders and regimental commanders were just doing small things, and he could really play his best when he became a division commander.

But think about it, there are currently only three division commanders in the Eighth Route Army, and I am the fourth one. Which of the other division commanders is not famous, and after many battles, I am only in my 20s, so I am also a division commander. Feeling ashamed.

But after thinking about it for a while, I was relieved. Although I am young, I have a lifetime more experience than them, and I will definitely not be worse than them on the battlefield in the future. As long as I have the prestige of the 136th Division, I will be worthy of the position of this division commander up.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei was going to meet these Jews, who are said to be the most intelligent people in the world, to find out what is so special about them.

When Zhang Yunfei arrived at the place where the Jews were resettled, William had already greeted them there. Originally, William heard that Zhang Yunfei had returned yesterday, and wanted to come over to thank Zhang Yunfei immediately, but Zhang Yunfei was busy with work, and the guards at the regiment headquarters said that the regiment leader was not available for the time being. Time, unable to receive William's thanks, made William quite frustrated.

But at noon, a security guard from the regiment headquarters came to inform that the regiment leader Zhang would come to visit everyone specially in the afternoon, and William was full of expectations.

It’s been almost a week since I came to the base area. It’s the same as what Zhang Yunfei said at the beginning. The scenery is very beautiful. The Eighth Route Army soldiers are very enthusiastic. They have settled down for everyone and provided enough food every day. Compared with Tianjin, it’s like heaven. One is hell.

Dear Zhang must be the reincarnation of the savior, perhaps sent by God to save everyone, I must repay Captain Zhang well later, William often thinks so.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei walking towards him surrounded by several people, William immediately walked forward, held Zhang Yunfei's hand and said, "Dear Zhang, please allow me to call you that, thank you so much You are here, we live very well and comfortably."

Feeling William's enthusiasm, Zhang Yunfei also smiled and said, this is what I should do, and I can't see everyone suffer.

Everyone had a pleasant conversation in the ensuing conversation. We learned from William that more than a dozen of these Jews were engineers from the German Rheinmetall Company. The chief engineer of the "shooting" project, as well as several mechanical engineers, and several radio and radar experts, in addition to two to three hundred skilled workers, the remaining three to four hundred people are ordinary people and some "women". women and children.

After listening to William's introduction, Zhang Yunfei felt that he really found a treasure. Such an outstanding talent was actually driven out of Germany by Hitler. Hitler's head was really caught by the door.

I must make good use of these Jews, give full play to their talents and create the greatest value.

After listening to William's introduction, Zhang Yunfei asked William if he had contacted other Jews in Germany. William told Zhang Yunfei that he had contacted several friends in Germany and that a large number of Jews were coming to China.

In order to get William to recruit more talents, Zhang Yunfei specially gave William a high-power radio station, so that William can communicate with friends in Germany.

Zhang Yunfei saw that William was eloquent and had great management skills, so Zhang Yunfei was moved and said to William: "Dear Mr. How about a salary of US dollars, and I will give you a commission for every talent that is discovered, how about it?"

"Oh, dear Zhang, you are so kind. I will definitely do a good job as the general manager and bring you a lot of talents. Please believe me," William said happily immediately. [

After the conversation with William, Zhang Yunfei had a detailed talk with Rheinmetall's chief engineer Toms, and Toms also unreservedly introduced his situation to Zhang Yunfei.

Thomas has worked at Rheinmetall for more than 20 years, mainly engaged in the research of heavy weapons such as large-caliber artillery and anti-aircraft guns. After Hitler came to power, he was expelled from his job for more than 20 years because of his Jewish identity. Rheinmetall AG.

If it wasn't for the help of my former friends, I might have been imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp now. Seeing that I couldn't stay in Germany anymore, there happened to be a cruise ship coming to China, and I brought my wife and children all the way to China.

If he hadn't met Zhang Yunfei, he, his wife and children would have starved to death when they were in Tianjin, so Thomas, like other Jews, was very grateful to Zhang Yunfei from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Yunfei was very happy to hear that Toms had a lot of research on large-caliber artillery and anti-aircraft guns. Don't look at the fact that the little devil's planes haven't come to bomb the base in the past few months, so he doesn't have to guard against the little devil's planes.

Seeing his own development, the little devil's plane will definitely come back to bomb the base in the future, and his hard work does not want to be ruined by the little devil's bombing.

Zhang Yunfei put Huanglongxia's arsenal in the cave precisely because he was worried that he would be bombed by the little ghosts, but with the expansion of his base area, the industrial base would also expand accordingly, and he couldn't put all the factories in the cave. Factories must be built on the plains.

This urgently needs a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns for air defense. Only if you have a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, the little devil's planes dare not come and bomb easily.

Of course, if there is an early warning radar, coupled with the radar, plus a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, then the base area will be a restricted area for the little devil's air force.

But the early warning radar is still a bit far away at present. Although there are several Jewish experts in radio and radar, the production of radar needs to wait for various industrial equipment to be matched.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are different. Their own arsenal has equipment for making machine guns and small-caliber artillery. It should not be difficult to produce these two weapons in a short period of time.

Zhang Yunfei asked Toms to organize several other Rheinmetall engineers to design and produce small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. The caliber should preferably be a 5000mm double-mounted anti-aircraft gun with a range of more than [-] meters. The height of the anti-aircraft gun should be designed to be used for both height and level. It can be used to deal with light armored targets when it is placed horizontally, and it can be used to deal with little devils' planes at high altitude.

He also promised Thomas that all the machines and equipment in the Huanglongxia Arsenal can be used at present, and Xu Kaixian, the director and chief engineer of the Huanglongxia Arsenal, will be notified of his full support and cooperation.
