Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Li Guosheng is in action

If the navy wants to develop and grow, the continuous research and development of various new equipment and the equipping of troops undoubtedly occupy a very important factor.Leaving Qingdao Military Port, Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng directly took Chief of Staff Jiang Baili to Yiyuan Military Industry Group, which is related to the future of the entire Ninth Army.

In the face of Fu Guangyun, the general director of the Ordnance Industry Group, who hurriedly greeted him, Li Guosheng did not hesitate at all, and directly explained the specific purpose of his trip: "Director Fu, two days ago, I sent some drawings and data. How is the research of the military industrial group, has there been any breakthrough progress... >

Because of Li Guosheng's rhetorical question, which was completely unreasonable, Director Fu of the arsenal had no choice but to swallow all the set of arguments he had just prepared, and fell into a brief shock.However, as the chief factory director of the Ordnance Industry Group with tens of thousands of workers and technicians in charge, Fu Guangyun's adaptability is definitely not underestimated.After being shocked for less than five seconds, he woke up from the astonishment and replied loudly: "Commander-in-Chief, since I received the blueprint you sent, I have personally guarded the equipment research office to keep abreast of the group's understanding of these new equipment and The level of mastery of new technology..."

Li Guosheng nodded, and the expression on his face gradually became serious unconsciously.Facing director Fu Guangyun, he nodded and said, "Director Fu, here, I can tell you with certainty: whether the Ordnance Industry Group can master these new equipment and mass-produce them is already related to my ninth The future of the Army Group. Therefore, you must regard this matter as the current primary task of the Ordnance Industry Group. Well, we have waited for so long, so please tell us the specific progress. We will talk as we go ...>

"Yes, Lord Commander...>

Facing Li Guosheng and the others, he introduced in as much detail as possible: "Commander-in-Chief. Then I'll start with a simple introduction."

"The first is a heavy aerial bomb with armor-piercing capabilities."

"For this kind of aerial bomb, our final research plan is exactly the same as that proposed by you, Commander-in-Chief: First, modify the ordinary heavy bomb and replace the warhead of the aerial bomb so that the warhead of the aerial bomb has a certain armor-piercing function. .Secondly, add some fins to the tail of the aerial bomb, so that after the bomb leaves the bomber, it can completely maintain a complete flight trajectory. At a super high flight speed, the warhead hits the deck of the enemy warship. Penetrates the deck of the enemy warship. Finally, the enemy warship An explosion occurs inside, destroying the target from the inside out...>

"As for aviation-specific torpedoes, we only need to make some changes to the setting altitude of the torpedoes, and they can fully meet the military requirements, and there are no major technical problems...>

After the introduction of the two types of aerial bombs dedicated to HNA, only the bombs that were famous in World War II and made great achievements in World War II remained.Dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft designed to drop these two types of bombs.Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng nodded in satisfaction, and continued to ask, "What about the two special fighters that HNA will equip?"

In China, a backward country, it researches and produces the world's most advanced military fighters by itself.If this was placed a year ago.No, even half a year ago, Director Fu Guangyun couldn't believe this fact.

but.With a large number of advanced technologies and talents, through various unknown channels.A steady stream of people poured into Yiyuan Military Industry Group.Especially the military industrial group, since a few months ago.After fully mastering all the production technologies of the most advanced bombers and fighter jets of this era.This thing that I didn't even dare to think about before, at this moment, has gradually become a reality.

Thinking of two advanced fighters that are completely ahead of the world, they will be produced in the backward country of Yiyuan Ordnance Industry Group, and I will personally preside over the research.A strong sense of pride immediately surfaced on Fu Guangyun's face.Facing the expectant Li Guosheng, he quickly introduced him.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, after a day and two days of hard work, 40.00% of the technology of the dive bomber has been fully mastered by us...>

In Li Guosheng's eyes: the fighters of this era, because there is no reason for the large-scale use of information technology.As long as you have a certain technical foundation, it is not too difficult to understand it.After nodding to the excited Fu Guangyun, he asked in a flat tone.

"How long will it take to 'understand' the remaining 60.00% technology?"

After a short period of contemplation, the factory manager Fu Guangyun responded firmly: "One week at the latest...>

Li Guosheng nodded, quite satisfied with the result.Then, he continued to ask: "With the technology, how long will it take to produce and assemble a test machine using the linear equipment and accessories of the military factory...>

Seeing Li Guosheng looking at him expectantly, Fu Guangyun, who seemed to be able to feel the anxiety in Li Guosheng's heart, was ruthless directly, and responded in a firm tone: "If you concentrate all the manpower and material resources of the entire aircraft factory, plus work overtime, Using some spare parts of ordinary bombers, the test aircraft can be assembled in half a month at the latest."

"Okay...>

Facing Fu Guangyun, he ordered without any room for negotiation: "Director Fu, since the prototype can be produced within half a month. Well, it shouldn't be a big problem for the first batch of fighters to come out in half a month. Count from now, I ask the military industry group to concentrate all manpower and material resources to produce [-] dive bombers and [-] torpedo attack aircraft within two months. During the entire production process, every fighter produced will be delivered to HNA...>

"In terms of ammunition, within two months, we must produce and reserve [-] armor-piercing heavy aerial bombs and [-] aviation-specific attack torpedoes...>

Excluding the time required to produce the testing machine, what was left for Fu Guangyun was the last forty days.Eighty fighters were produced in forty days.On average, there are only two per day.To know is to look at the entire process of World War II.Japan gathers the power of the whole country to produce more aircraft every day.There are only a handful of ten.But now, Fu Guangyun only has a medium-sized aircraft factory in his hands, and it is conceivable that there are many difficulties in this. [

However, after seeing Li Guosheng, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, and the entire navy looking at him expectantly.The words that were about to hesitate just now were swallowed back by Fu Guangyun before they reached his mouth.He was ruthless again.Facing Li Guosheng, he reassured loudly: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief and all the officers, I, Fu Guangyun, have given my life to deliver [-] fighter planes to Hainan Airlines within two months...>

"Very good, tell all the workers and technicians of the military aircraft factory to complete the task, and I, Li Guosheng, will personally come to celebrate everyone... >

Under the order of Fu Guangyun, the aircraft factory under the Yiyuan Military Industry Group concentrated all its forces to produce dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.Various combat teams under the Navy.In response to possible military retaliation by the Japanese Navy.At all costs, train troops desperately, and master the equipment when you first get it.

There are two main divisions under the Ninth Army that has been stationed by Li Guosheng on the Liaodong Peninsula.Nor was he idle.

In Andong City, which faces North Korea across the river, all the officers above the regiment level of the two main divisions watched.Chief of Staff Jiang Baili is reading out the latest combat order from Li Guosheng...>

"The latest combat order of the Ninth Army General Headquarters: Based on the 75th and 81st Divisions stationed in Anton, the 105st Brigade of the Armored Division, and the [-]st [-]mm Howitzer Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Division, the Liaodong Corps under the Ninth Army was formed. Staff officers were appointed Chief Jiang Baili is the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Corps, responsible for all combat instructions of the Liaodong Corps...>

Being able to be promoted to the commander of the Ninth Army's hundreds of thousands of troops is enough to show how powerful these people are.After Jiang Baili's order was read out, everyone realized something from the order.Thinking of the current location of the entire Liaodong Corps, a hint of inspiration immediately came to Zhou Xingguo's mind.

Facing Jiang Baili with a serious face in front of him, he asked directly: "Sir, are you going to fight the little devil's Kwantung Army, and you have done something to the little devil's Kwantung Army...>

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 81st Division, has embraced the idea of ​​serving the country and killing the enemy since he joined the army.His eyes lit up, and he followed up and asked: "Sir, do you really want to fight the little devil Kwantung Army...>

Facing the fiery eyes of the two men looking at him, Jiang Baili nodded noncommittally, and said: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang, and other brothers here. Here, I will tell you the truth. The General Command formed the Liaodong Corps. The ultimate goal is to serve the Kwantung Army, the little devil who faces us across the river."

"As for the first mission of our Liaodong Corps after its establishment: it is very simple. In the shortest possible time, through a surprise attack, take Sinuiju and wipe out a brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in Sinuiju. , to show the entire Japanese "government" the mighty fighting power of our Ninth Army...>

Because of the Ninth Army's sudden attack on the Liaodong Peninsula, the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in the "Kantong Prefecture" directly lost its old home.Without Lushun and Dalian as their bases, the main force of the tens of thousands of Kwantung Army had to cooperate with the Korean and Japanese troops.Entering North Korea, temporarily stationed troops on the border between China and North Korea, waiting for the opportunity to return to the three eastern provinces.

However, what the General Command of the Kwantung Army did not expect was that.They had just crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea.Andong, an important military town across the river from the North Korean Kwantung Army, was occupied by the Ninth Army, a deadly enemy who had brought shame to the Japanese Army many times...>

As the Ninth Army stationed more and more troops in Anton, in order to ensure the safety of the remnants of the Kwantung Army.The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army had to station an entire brigade in Sinuiju, across the river from Andong, with almost [-] elite Kwantung Army troops.

Six thousand Kwantung Army elites, a total of five infantry brigades, several independent mountain artillery squadrons, field artillery squadrons...

Relying on the favorable mountainous terrain around Sinuiju, fortifications and fortifications were built wantonly to defend the last foothold of the Kwantung Army.The last bit of blood.

To achieve this strategic goal, rely on the natural barrier of the Yalu River.Hold on to it.For the Kwantung Army, whose strength is already stretched, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

In order to ensure that the entire Yalu River is not lost.The supreme commander of the Kwantung Army stationed in Sinuiju directly ordered an infantry brigade, two mountain artillery squadrons, and a heavy machine gun squadron under the brigade.A total of more than [-] Kwantung Army elites built a line of defense along the east bank of the Yalu River to guard against the Ninth Army stationed in the Andong area.

For the Liaodong Corps of the Ninth Army, it wants to win Sinuiju and wipe out thousands of Kwantung Army in Sinuiju.Take down the first line of defense deployed by the Japanese Kwantung Army along the Yalu River.Invisibly, it became the first difficulty in front of the Liaodong Corps of the Ninth Army.

The announcement of the appointment of the Ninth Army to form the Liaodong Corps was completed.Zhou Xingguo, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, took out all the information in his hands about the deployment of the Japanese army on the other side of the Yalu River.

However, Jiang Baili was disappointed.The dozens of pieces of information in his hand don't seem to have much effect on the current Liaodong Corps.

Jiang Baili, who was frowning tightly, asked with a dignified expression: "Mr. Zhou, why is the intelligence content so simple? I didn't even figure out the specific troop strength and firepower configuration of the Japanese army on the other side...>

Facing the questioning of Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.Zhou Xingguo's face was suddenly enveloped by an embarrassing wry smile.Facing Jiang Baili, he hurriedly explained: "It's not that we don't work hard to report the attendance. It's just that the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side are too cunning and don't give us any chance to attack...>

"In the battle between Lushun and Dalian a few months ago, the Kwantung Army seemed to be terrified by us. Since entering North Korea, it has begun to deploy defenses along the Yalu River line of defense. More importantly: in response to our superior artillery fire, the Kwantung Army on the other side, all The construction of the defense line. All at night, so that we can't see it at all. As for the day, not only did not build any fortifications, but also concealed all the various fortifications that have been built. Unless a close-range investigation is carried out, otherwise, It is impossible for the reconnaissance troops to "find out" the situation on the other side...>

Jiang Baili's brows also slowly twisted into a big "Chuan" character, frowning and continued to ask: "In this case, have you dispatched scouts to 'touch' the other side for close-range investigation...>

Zhou Xingguo nodded.However, the expression on his face became more and more ugly.He said in a low tone: "I've tried it, but it didn't work, and more than 30 of the best scouts were lost."

Under Zhou Xingguo's explanation, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili gradually became aware of the cruelty of the Japanese Kwantung Army on the other side and the cunning of the Kwantung Army's top commander.

In order to ensure that the various fortifications built along the river will not be cleared by the superior artillery fire of the Ninth Army, the cunning Kwantung Army directly used night construction to avoid these concrete fortifications, which were exposed to the Ninth Army before the battle began. In front of the artillery fire, it was destroyed by the opponent's artillery fire.

As for the scouts sent by Zhou Xingguo, under the condition that the firepower cannot be exposed.The cunning Kwantung Army directly dispatched a large number of sharpshooters to secretly lurk on the east bank of the Yalu River.As long as any suspicious point is found on the surface of the Yalu River, it will be shot... >

The Yalu River is more than [-] meters wide. Even the most elite special forces members of the Ninth Army cannot secretly cross the Yalu River without making any noise. The reconnaissance unit of Xingguo Office.

Therefore, in just over a week, whether it is day or night.All the scouts who smuggled across the Yalu River, without exception, were all killed by the sharpshooters of the Kwantung Army in the water of the Yalu River rolling southward.

Jiang Baili, with a dignified complexion, let out a long sigh slowly, and said: "No accident, the commander of the Kwantung Army on the other side. He is the most difficult commander I have ever encountered since Jiang Baili joined the army...>

Seeing that both Zhou Xingguo and Zhang Zizhong were frowning, they fell into deep thought.Jiang Baili continued to speak: "Commander Zhou, Commander Zhang. I can say with certainty that there is no detailed troop strength and firepower configuration map of the Kwantung Army on the other side. The hundreds of artillery pieces in our hands will be completely useless."

"Artillery fire cannot immediately destroy the Kwantung Army's various firepower points and permanent fortifications that do not belong to the opposite bank. Then our troops crossing the river will be completely exposed to the counterattack firepower of the Kwantung Army on the opposite bank. Yes. Imagine, under the fire of hundreds of light and heavy machine guns of the Kwantung Army on the opposite bank, how much our troops crossing the river will have to pay to rush to the other bank and occupy a landing point on the other bank...>

"In addition, the Kwantung Army defending the opposite bank not only has light and heavy machine guns, but also a certain number of mountain artillery. For the small landing craft we are about to use, a single round of mountain artillery shells is enough to make this landing craft, including the landing craft inside. Dozens of officers and soldiers were all buried at the bottom of the river."

"At that time, the various casualties we have to pay will exceed our imagination."

As soon as Jiang Baili's voice fell, Master Zhang Zizhong followed him and said: "Sir, there is another problem here: if we can't take a landing point on the opposite bank in a short time and hold it. The Kwantung Army stationed in Xinyi The main force of the state can be continuously sent to the front line of the Yalu River to strengthen the defense."

"At that time, the entire battle across the river will become a protracted war of attrition...>

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili nodded, and decided in a firm tone: "So, before the Kwantung Army on the other side has figured out the specific troop strength and firepower configuration map, any troops are prohibited from launching a cross-river battle in advance." (To be continued.)
