When Wang Hui disembarked from the Hailong and landed on the mainland after a long absence, he couldn't stop the tears from his eyes. He knelt on the beach and shouted: "Motherland, I'm back." The words "Motherland, I'm back" still echoed in his ears. The unique roar of the German 37mm anti-aircraft gun on the Sea Dragon, and the smiling gray clouds were chasing two small and exquisite Japanese water reconnaissance aircraft. Seventy nautical miles away at the east end of the sea, about 20 A Japanese HNA fighter jet and fifteen Type 99 dive bombers are approaching the "Hailong". In addition to the important figure Wang Hui, the "Hailong" also carries two physical German DB650 engines that are crucial to China's war of resistance. This was obtained in exchange for one hundred tons of China's rare molybdenum ore. The Germans also gave the Chinese two Panzer II tanks and three hundred MP18 submachine guns. The DB engine is actually a sports aircraft engine that has been eliminated by Germany, but there is no doubt that this engine can greatly improve the performance of Chinese fighter jets. Hitler generously provided this engine to China because he knew that the Hawker fighter jets used by China could not use this engine, so he did not have to bear the burden of violating the secret agreement between Japan and Germany and providing advanced technology to China. . A batch of guns and ammunition shipped by the "Sea Dragon" in the UK was being nervously released onto the beach by the officers and soldiers of the 79th Division. They were working nervously and efficiently, regardless of the sirens of Japanese planes approaching.
Now even the Army's 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 15mm anti-aircraft machine guns guarding the beach have joined the "Hailong"'s attack. A thick black smoke came out of the tail of a Nakajima reconnaissance aircraft, and the engine also lost its original function. The Japanese pilot reluctantly piloted the plane and made an emergency landing on the sea. A Chinese infantryman looked at the plane on the water in the distance and said to his companion who was struggling to walk on the sand carrying a box next to him: "Today, the sharks can have their fill again."
Wang Hui was dragged into a bunker by the first officer of the "Hailong" and Lieutenant Teng Chao of the 79th Division. They leaned on the warm sand with their backs and looked up at the sky. Two Chinese Air Force Hawker aircraft suddenly flew over them. Flying above, heading to intercept the approaching Japanese planes, were two fighter jets from the Seventh Group stationed in Guangzhou.
The Japanese pilots saw the Chinese fighter jets. The lead pilot, Lieutenant Shiota, made a gesture to the pilots behind him. Four Nakajima 51 fighter jets separated from the dense formation and accelerated towards the Chinese fighter jets. The speed and turning performance of Chinese fighter jets are not as good as those of Japanese aircraft. They have begun to climb in order to dive from high altitudes and adopt one-shot escape tactics. Yantian was also very aware of the tactics of Chinese aircraft, but he did not bother to play a cat-and-mouse game with Chinese fighter jets. He signaled the bombers to continue moving forward, and the fighter jets closely protected the bombers. The four-plane squadron of Inada Airmaster would deal with the Chinese fighter jets. As for the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the "Hailong" and on the beach, Yantian didn't pay attention at all. He only regarded those things as toys.
Wang Hui turned over and lay down in the bunker, watching the air battle between the two sides closely.
The Hawker's climbing speed was also not as good as that of the Japanese aircraft. During the climb, an aircraft was hit by a 7.7mm machine gun round from an oncoming Japanese Nakajima 51 fighter jet and hit the fuel tank. It exploded into a ball of fire in the air. The Chinese soldiers clenched their fists and felt sorry for the pilot of this plane. The other Hawker completed its climb, lowered its nose, stared at the fighter below and began to dive. The Japanese planes in the sights were getting closer and closer. The bigger it gets, the clearer it becomes. The young second lieutenant Jiang Zhengwen pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, the bullets flew away after grazing the iron sheet of the Japanese plane. This attack did not hit the target, and the two planes behind him dived down. The Japanese fighter jets forced Second Lieutenant Jiang Zhengwen to continue diving towards the sea. When Second Lieutenant Jiang Zhengwen came to low altitude, he found that the place was full of Japanese bombers that had just dropped their bombs and pulled up. Yantian yelled in the distance that the rice fields were idiot. These poor bombers had just finished their dive and were in the process of pulling up. They had lost all their maneuvering energy and could only swing their bodies crazily left and right to avoid bullets. They looked motionless on the ground and were no different from targets. Second Lieutenant Jiang Zhengwen ignored the two Japanese fighter jets roaring behind him, lowered the throttle, and calmly aimed at one Japanese aircraft after another at zero distance like a executioner, firing 7.92mm machine gun rounds. Jiang Zhengwen even saw one clearly. The bomber pilot's face was covered with tears of fear.
The four Type 99 Japanese bombers turned into four flaming fireballs and slowly fell into the sea before the Nakajima 51 fighter jets rushed to drive away Jiang Zhengwen. The main characteristics of the Japanese aircraft were fast speed and good maneuverability. It is flexible, but the disadvantage is that it lacks firepower and is easy to catch fire after being shot. However, as long as the Chinese aircraft does not hit the fuel tank and engine, most of the Chinese aircraft can survive until they fly back to the base with their solid fuselage. The wings of Jiang Zhengwen's Hawker were already riddled with bullet holes. He didn't need to look back to know that the Japanese pilot behind him hated him. Two Japanese Nakajima 51 fighter jets nimbly chased Jiang Zhengwen's Hawker, constantly firing 7.7mm machine gun bullets into his fuselage and wings. However, to the Japanese pilot's surprise, this tenacious Hawker refused to move downwards. Although debris continued to fall from the fuselage and wings, Hawke still flew inland tenaciously.
In the cockpit, Yan Tian kept scolding Da Tian's ancestors through the intercom. This time, his face was completely humiliated by Da Tian. Two Chinese planes actually destroyed four bombers in one go under his nose, and among them A Chinese plane also successfully escaped the pursuit of the rice fields. Yantian vowed to let the rice fields go back to Japanese farming after returning.
The "Sea Dragon" was already on fire, and some soldiers of the 79th Division staggered and died at their posts. Not only were guns and ammunition scattered on the beach, but also their blood. Next to a 20mm anti-aircraft gun, seven Chinese soldiers shed their last drop of blood. They were lying or lying down, dying while still defending their weapons and their country.
Qu Bo, the captain of the "Hailong", personally directed the two 37mm anti-aircraft guns on the bow to shoot at the swooping Japanese aircraft. The machine gun bullets hit the steel plate and made a terrifying roar. Some of the reflected warheads knocked the crew members beside the anti-aircraft guns down to the deck. , one of which even scratched Qu Bo's cheek. Qu Bo did not wipe the blood on his face, but shouted for the crew to carry the shells.
Yantian focused on a gray tank that was driving quickly towards the woods. He had seen this kind of tank in Germany and knew that the 20mm shells from his plane could penetrate the top armor of this tank effortlessly. He steadily He put the target into the scope, turning the tank into a torch just before it fled into the woods.
Originally, Wang Hui was pinned down in the bunker by Lieutenant Teng and the first mate, but there were still tank crews alive in the burning tank. Their cries for help made Wang Hui unable to stay away from the incident. He struggled to break away from the two men who wanted to protect him. He jumped out of the bunker, dodged the attacks of exploding ammunition boxes, and jumped onto the burning tank. Together with the first mate who followed him, he pushed open the gun barrel blocking the hatch, and rescued Captain Cao Lei and Sergeant Li Zheng. . Cao Lei and Li Zheng didn't have time to thank Wang Hui and ran back to the bunker with them. They watched in frustration as the No. 2 tank exploded and the turret flew more than ten meters into the air before falling heavily in front of them.
The first mate knocked Wang Hui down with a punch and said bitterly: "Do you know how important you are? We have already killed six brothers for you. If you take risks like this again, I won't need the Japanese to do anything. I will twist your head first." Come down."
Cao Lei stood between the first mate and Wang Hui. Wang Hui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up: "I also feel sad for the sacrificed Hailong brothers, but I can't just watch them burn to death in the tank. Could it be you? , can you do this?"
The first officer knelt down in the bunker and waved his fist at the Japanese aircraft fleet flying away: "You little devil, I want you to pay with blood."
Most of the soldiers lying on the beach stood up, and a few veterans shouted loudly: "Okay, boys, the enemy plane has flown away."
Various broken weapon parts were scattered on the beach, and the bodies of many sacrificed officers and soldiers of the 79th Division were lying among them. The Sea Dragon, which had established immortal feats, also walked with its captain. At the end of his life, he slowly sank into the shallow sea. The huge chimney was still stubbornly sticking out of the sea, as if it was fighting unyieldingly.
Dr. Huang Jie, the commander-in-chief's special technical adviser who hurriedly arrived, was delighted that the two DB650 engines were intact. They were as important to China's war of resistance as two infantry divisions. Even though Dr. Huang Jie was a woman, her short hair looked very special. She is young and capable, but she graduated from Stanford University in the United States with a major in mechanics and won the trust of the Commander-in-Chief. After returning to China, she was appointed by the Commander-in-Chief as a private special technical advisor, responsible for leading a new weapons research team to develop new weapons.
The 79th Division specially dispatched an infantry company under the command of Lieutenant Teng Chao to escort Dr. Huang Jie and Wang Hui to Nanjing on a special train. Accompanying Wang Hui to Nanjing were two DB650 engines that Dr. Huang Jie regarded as treasures. They were made by 32 Sea Dragon crew members and 179 soldiers of the 79th Division sacrificed their lives for it. In Huang Jie's words, "What it contains is not parts, but Chinese bones."
This special train passed through the mountains and rivers, tunnel cities, and tribal villages of the South, leaving them all behind. It blew its whistle loudly along the way, panted heavily, and drove at lightning speed on the railway line. Dr. Huang Jie's heart It has long since fallen into the distant southwest, where China's new arsenal and research institutes are being constructed day and night.
Wang Hui pulled up the glass of the carriage and breathed in the chilly air outside the window. It was already autumn. It had been three months since he left London and embarked on the journey home. Hahn's soul had completely integrated into it. In Wang Hui's soul, this Germanic man without a motherland has completely disappeared from this world. Wang Hui looked at the trees that kept receding, but what he was thinking about was the blond Miss Wal-Mart from far away in Germany. The good night he had with Miss Wal-Mart before leaving made the traditional-minded Wang Hui regard Wal-Mart as his future wife. Determined to fulfill Wal-Mart's promise to be a princess in China, after the war is won, he will marry this foreign woman.
From time to time, villages destroyed by Japanese planes could be seen on both sides of the railway tracks. When replenishing fresh water and coal at the station, Wang Hui could also see many displaced people begging on the platform through the gaps in the drawn curtains. The burning anger in Wang Hui's heart became more and more intense, and it became Wang Hui's motivation to fight, fighting to defend the motherland and the people.
Huang Jie spends almost all the time in the compartment where the engine is stored. She is almost obsessed with machinery and even sits on the engine to do a few things while eating.
And the meticulous Lieutenant Tengchao kept moving from the front to the back of the car, carefully checking the security work of the carriage. Once the train pulled into the station, Lieutenant Tengchao became almost the busiest person, and he was so busy that he was running around. , but Wang Hui was very satisfied with Teng Chao's old-fashioned and even rigid nature. He avoided various accidents along the way, making it impossible for Japanese agents and traitors to start. The good military appearance and discipline of the soldiers of the 79th Division also left a deep impression on Wang Hui.
Because Hahn is a top German pilot, Wang Hui, who integrated his consciousness, also developed a strong interest in aircraft. Hahn's German background gave Wang Hui and Huang Jie a common topic, and Dr. Huang Jie also became interested in this The young captain's favor doubled because he solved several blind spots that Huang Jie couldn't figure out, allowing Huang Jie to basically master the structure and principles of DB650. However, due to China's low industrial production capacity and weak heavy industry foundation, Huang Jie It is also clear that mass production of this kind of engine, which has been eliminated by Germany, is still a beautiful dream for China. From that moment on, the fates of a passionate soldier and an intellectual eager to change China's backward industry were closely linked and intertwined.
