The train brought me into Wuhan, spitting out black smoke. This is a very strange city to me. However, as soon as I got off the train, I felt the tense atmosphere of this city. There were almost no pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and most of the shops All were closed, and most of the people walking on the road were soldiers marching in formation. Their morale seemed to be high. They walked, sang songs, and walked forward firmly. I looked at them for a long time. They saw vitality, hope, and confidence in defeating the enemy. The fearlessness and courage they exude makes me inspired again. We will definitely win.
Fortifications and horses have been built on the streets. Teams of soldiers are setting up machine guns. The houses at the intersection have been transformed into fortresses. The muzzles of the artillery are pointed forward. The soldiers are vigilantly observing everyone. A pedestrian is wary of detection by Japanese spies, but they are very friendly to real Chinese and comrades-in-arms. I was deeply impressed by the competence and dedication of the junior officers. If our senior generals were like them, the Japanese would invade us. It is true that I was afraid at home that we would attack them.
The guard soldiers took our documents, checked them carefully, and saluted me respectfully. They had also heard about the achievements of the Fifth Brigade, especially the soldier in the middle who had retreated from Jiangyin and had seen us before. When shooting at the Japanese soldiers, I gave them 2 packs of cigarettes from Teng Chao, and they accepted them happily. This was not a bribe, but a gift from comrades. Their military uniforms were very worn and their expressions were very tired, but they were full of fighting spirit and always smiled. On their faces, China’s hope lies among them.
In front of the temporarily selected headquarters building, Teng Chao and I temporarily broke up. I asked him to wait for us at the hotel. Kong Qinglin and I came to see the Commander-in-Chief. After not seeing each other for a few months, he had a few more wrinkles on his face and eye sockets. He was swollen due to lack of sleep, but he still smiled when he saw us. He cordially greeted Kong Qinglin and me to sit down, and was even more affectionate to Kong Qinglin, like an uncle seeing his beloved niece.
"Wang Hui, due to the military emergency, I have to transfer you from the Li-Guang Alliance. Do you have any objections?" The commander-in-chief talked to us while reading the documents.
"No." I answered immediately.
"Sit down." The commander-in-chief gently motioned for me to sit down. "This time I want you to meet someone first."
As soon as the side door opened, a person walked in. I saw that something was wrong. It was Huang Jie who came in. I was afraid that whoever I saw would show up.
Huang Jie just walked in and didn't look at me, but his eyes met with Kong Qinglin's. The air suddenly solidified, and the static electricity drifted uncertainly. Due to women's intuition, both of them adopted a hostile attitude. I vaguely felt Lightning could be seen dancing in the eyes of the two men. I looked at this, then at that, and finally at the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief frowned. He had overlooked this, but now he was keenly aware of this due to his experience and experience. He coughed on purpose, which temporarily alleviated the hostility between the two women, but I lowered my head. I can even detect it with my head. Their eyes, which are hotter than lasers, are already aimed at me.
"Ahem, Dr. Huang, please report on the development of new weapons." The commander-in-chief hurriedly came to rescue me from my predicament. I was relieved that the laser beam directed at me was suddenly reduced by half. I raised my head and looked around, and accidentally caught Kong Qinglin's gaze. Seeing her angry look, I looked at the ceiling with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, Chairman, according to the original plan, our new weapon research and development team is conducting imitation research according to the latest drawings. It is currently progressing smoothly. The fighter jet code-named 'Fierce Dragon' is expected to be mass-produced by the end of March. Although its combat effectiveness is lower than that of the prototype, The number of aircraft dropped by 30%, but the production hours also dropped by 60%. The monthly output can reach 50 aircraft per month, and can be increased to 200 aircraft per month by next year. If two to three large parts factories can be put into operation, I think it can Reaching the level of manufacturing 500 aircraft per month." Huang Jie returned to normal as soon as she returned to work. I have always admired her self-control.
"Okay, not bad. What do you think, Wang Hui?" The commander-in-chief asked me to say a few words.
I avoided the eyes of Kong Qinglin and Huang Jie and stared at the commander-in-chief's bare forehead: "If we can manufacture 200 'Fierce Dragon' fighter jets per month, with the strength of our pilots, we will definitely be able to seize air supremacy over China, but we are now The main difficulty we face is not the problem of the aircraft, but the fuel. If we do not have sufficient fuel guarantee, the scene before Germany's defeat will inevitably reappear, where a large number of high-performance aircraft were easily blown up by Allied aircraft due to lack of fuel."
The commander-in-chief was silent. After a while, he said, "You are right. If there was fuel, your Li-Guang unit would not be unable to take off for more than half a month. In the most difficult time in Nanjing, if there were planes, they could participate in the battle." , the losses of our soldiers will be less. I will seize the time to solve this problem. Our oil depot in Lantian will be put into operation next month, which will alleviate our oil shortage. There is no way, we can only use Precious minerals are exchanged with the United States." The commander-in-chief said with a solemn expression.
Kong Qinglin obviously didn't know about my relationship with Germany, so she didn't quite understand what I said about Germany's defeat, but she didn't put it in her mind. She kept changing her focus on me and Huang Jie. Huang Jie also noticed it, and instead of flinching, she puffed up her chest in a challenge.
"How is the progress with the tanks?" asked the Commander-in-Chief.
"Currently, our team has produced 5 Panzer III tank prototypes and 1 Panzer IV tank prototype. However, because the quality of our domestic engines is not as good as German products, the speed is 10 kilometers per hour lower than the German prototypes." Huang Jie reported.
"How is the artillery situation?" This is what I am concerned about.
"Our country's current mechanical processing level cannot produce a 50mm long-barreled gun. However, I equipped the prototype of the Panzer III tank with a 50mm short-barreled gun. It is less powerful than the German product, but it can deal with the Japanese Type 89 Tank or Type 95 medium tank," Huang Jie made an exaggerated gesture, "boom" indicating that the Japanese tank was vulnerable.
"What kind of artillery is equipped with the Panzer IV?" I deliberately didn't look at her to prevent Kong Qinglin's eyes from digging two holes in my back.
"It's also a 50mm artillery piece. After a while, I will send you a 75mm artillery piece." She emphasized the word "I will" meaningfully. Didn't I mean that I couldn't hear it? But Kong Qinglin and the president The commander was nearby, so I had to pretend to be confused.
"Wang Hui, I have decided to set up a new unit, with you as the commander. Give full play to the knowledge you learned at the German Armored Forces School. Go ahead and do it. Your unit will be under the jurisdiction of the military committee and under the command of the theater commander in wartime. , I fully support you." The commander-in-chief said to me with a red face.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely live up to your expectations of me." I stood up straight.
"Okay, Huang Jie, you two go out first, and Kong Qinglin and I will talk about family matters for a while." the commander-in-chief ordered.
I was overjoyed, haha, now I had a chance to be alone with Huang Jie. When I passed by Kong Qinglin, she looked at me meaningfully, and when others weren't paying attention, she twisted my arm, and I let out a cry. Both the Commander and Huang Jie looked over with concern, "What's wrong?" the Commander-in-Chief asked, "It's okay. Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your concern. I sprained my foot." Kong Qinglin blushed and looked at me limping. He walked out, and Huang Jie also followed, looking very proud.
Adjutant Sun Ren closed the door. When I looked at him, what I saw in his eyes was no longer the original enthusiasm. On the contrary, his attitude towards me now should be hatred. What did I do wrong? Why did he do this? hate me?
Huang Jie lowered her head and looked at the floor, walking in front of her without saying a word. As soon as she turned the corner, she pinched my nose unceremoniously, "Miss, be gentle." I bared my teeth and expressed my objection. The protest was ineffective, because next, Dr.** had blocked my big mouth with her fragrant little mouth. Feeling her warm and soft body, feeling her body fragrance, that wonderful feeling came over me again, I longed for it so many times in my sleep, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. I forgot about the war, I forgot that this was in the headquarters building, I forgot about everything, the only thing I remembered was that I loved the woman in my arms, deeply.
