The only flaw in the Battle of Jinyang was that at the end, the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade and the Lianjie Special Detachment actually ran away.
They received the attack telegram sent by the 3rd Brigade in advance. After calling the First Army Headquarters through the radio, there was no response, so they knew that Jinyang was actually no longer under the control of Shinozuka Yoshio, so they walked halfway and went directly to East escaped.
Head straight towards Yangcheng.
By the time the news was received, the little Japanese had already run a long way away. After continuous fighting, the main force was now very tired and had no energy left to pursue.
Gao Jianwu had to notify the troops blocking the 4th Brigade in Yangcheng and Chu Yunfei to retreat, allowing these little devils to join forces in Yangcheng, and the two sides began to enter the confrontation stage.
Gao Jianwu fell asleep, and after waking up again, he began to clear a series of reminder messages in his mind. As expected, the system was upgraded again.
Level 7!
Killing the First Army Headquarters and capturing Yoshio Shinozuka alive was indeed one of the keys to upgrading.
Among the good things that came out this time was a set of production process design drawings for key equipment of a 50,000-kilowatt thermal power plant.
You must know that this is one of the issues that Gao Jianwu is most worried about when he conquers Jinyang, that is, electricity will soon be unable to keep up with his development. The development of heavy industry in large-scale steel smelting is inherently energy-intensive, especially electroslag remelting process smelting. With the current power supply in Jinyang, it is simply unable to support large steel plants.
Gao Jianwu has produced seven or eight sets of 500kw turbines, which are suitable for small factories. Now three sets have been installed on the rivers around Pingcheng and Ping'an to supply five small businesses that are starting to operate.
The remaining units can be installed on the Fen River around Jinyang, but these units are a drop in the bucket in terms of Jinyang's power demand. In addition, hydropower is still in the dry season, and cannot provide stable power supply.
Now that there are 50,000 key equipment for thermal power stations, it is completely different. It is completely possible to build a thermal power station. With the rich coal resources around Jinyang, the power supply has become relatively simple. Although building a thermal power station It cannot be completed overnight, but judging from the current situation, as long as Gao Jianwu wants to do it, it will be much simpler to build a simple thermal power generation.
There is no approval process, and we can start working directly after selecting the site. As for the lifespan, we don’t need to be too particular about it now. We can just make it simple, and maybe we can build a thermal power station in less than a year.
A full set of production process design drawings for the new generation artifact 63-type 107 rocket launcher and a full set of production process design drawings for the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun were revealed in the weapons and equipment. These two came at the right time. For Gao Jianwu, who lacked strong firepower and air defense capabilities, It’s simply an artifact!
With the production equipment and production experience of 75mm artillery and flak38 anti-aircraft guns, it is basically not difficult to switch to the production of these two new equipments. Jinyang’s machine tools are now the top batch that Gao Jianwu revealed last time. The mother machine system, lathes, boring machines, milling machines, etc. are all available. When special steel is smelted in Jinyang, new equipment can even be continuously processed according to the production process design drawings of these mother machine systems.
Coupled with the newly seized old equipment from Jinyang Arsenal, Gao Jianwu conservatively estimates that the production capacity will be expanded by more than ten times than before!
The fourth is RDX manufacturing process design and formula, which Gao Jianwu urgently needs now. Although his chemical factory has begun large-scale manufacturing, the raw materials of sulfur and saltpeter from Southeast Asia have begun to continuously turn into bullets and Cannonballs.
But without RDX, many high-explosive mixed explosives cannot be made. Even though this thing has been invented for some years, for a country blocked by technology, RDX's mature production process design is still a cutting-edge chemical industry. One of the technologies.
In comparison, the formula and production process design of m390 special alloy tool steel and the production process design of gaa-v8 gasoline engine seem a bit out of place at the moment and are not of use for the time being. However, it is obvious that this basic thing will be more widely used in the future.
This wave has allowed Gao Jianwu to enrich his technology library, especially RDX and 107 rocket launchers, which are urgently needed now.
After looking at the harvest with pleasure, it turns out that wealth and wealth can be found in danger, and this adventure in Jinyang is simply worth it.
...
Heyuan County.
Liu Shiqiang, who stayed behind at the base, took one last look at Pingcheng.
"Captain, let's go, the little devil's chariot is coming." The guard next to him said.
"Let's go, let's go, we'll be back soon." Liu Shiqiang said with some melancholy.
Five days after the Dagushan Heyuan County Security Brigade destroyed the road and blocked the Japanese tank division, they moved everything they could from Heyuan and evacuated to the mountainous area near Dagushan.
The population of Heyuan has also been evacuated, and Heyuan City is now an empty city.
As the last group of people to retreat, Liu Shiqiang led a detachment after retreating from Heyuan City, and began to continuously destroy the road leading to Dagu Town, blowing up bridges and dangerous places!
Although it is said that future reconstruction will cost everyone a lot of effort, but now, Liu Shiqiang cannot allow the little devil's chariot to enter Dagu Town by road.
Even without Gao Jianwu's remote telegram to avoid tank combat, Liu Shiqiang, who lacked anti-armor weapons, was not stupid enough to use manpower to fight against the Japs' armored vehicles. Even the Doudin tank was not something Liu Shiqiang could handle now.
They can only move forward by destroying the road so that the little Japanese chariots cannot pass, and they can only repair the road through the engineering brigade.
During the construction process, when Liu Shiqiang's blocking troops showed their skills, they slowed down and delayed their actions by remotely sniping and killing the Japs engineers, but the Japs were not stupid either.
After dozens of people were killed by snipers, they found nearby people, put the engineers in the same clothes as the people, and then forced the people to build roads together!
In this way, the blocking force had no way to attack. They could only destroy it piece by piece and let the little devils repair it one by one. Although they couldn't stop it, the purpose of delaying time was achieved.
The little devil has been walking on this dozens of kilometers of road for almost a week!
Now the battle in Jinyang is over!
Liu Shiqiang has also completed the most important delaying task, and now he can move personnel and teams towards Jinyang on a large scale. There are only more than a thousand elite warriors left in the Dagushan area. They will disperse the guerrillas and sabotage in separate groups, making every step forward for the small Japanese team extremely difficult!
...
"I won't leave. I just built the Type 43 20mm anti-aircraft gun. I haven't had time to test it yet. I'll wait until I finish the anti-aircraft gun." Faced with the order to retreat, Wang Houpu, director of the Shandong 101 Arsenal, shouted and refused. Walk.
"Director Wang, Director Wang, this is the order of the Gao detachment. Jinyang is safer, so we have to carry it out!" The team leader who was executing the retreat of some personnel said with a look of regret on his face.
"No one's order works. I'm safe here, and we feel safe with you outside." Wang Houpu buried his head in the lathe and ignored the squad leader's words.
This is the most important protection object ordered by detachment Gao. No matter how anxious the detachment leader is, he does not dare to use force.
At this moment, a voice came from behind the squad leader, "Director Wang, you are still busy."
The squad leader turned around and saw that it was Zhao Shiqiang. He quickly stood up and reported, "Captain, I..." Before he could finish speaking, Liu Shiqiang waved his hand, "You go and wait outside while I talk to Factory Director Wang."
"Yes!" The squad leader saluted and stepped out.
"Director Wang, Detachment Gao asked me to tell you that in Jinyang he has prepared a complete production line with turning, milling and boring machine tools. The scale is more than ten times that of here, and the level of advancement is at least twenty years ahead." Liu Shiqiang did not persuade Wang Houpu. What, but to restate what Gao Jianwu said.
Obviously Gao Jianwu also understands the character of a person like Wang Houpu. To force him to withdraw from the 101 Arsenal would be like cutting off his lifeblood.
There has to be another way.
"In addition, the Gao Detachment has obtained the design drawings of a new anti-aircraft gun. It is said to be the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun. It is the first-class anti-aircraft gun in Europe. The Gao Detachment is waiting for you to build it as soon as possible. Of course, this is not the last step. It's powerful. It is said that the Gao detachment also got a strange artillery. The Gao detachment called it the 43-type 107 rocket launcher. This name is unfamiliar to me, but the Gao detachment said that this gun is equivalent to an artillery battalion in the field. ..."
With a swish, Wang Houpu ran up to Liu Shiqiang before he could finish his words, "Let's go, let's go now!"
He didn't even have time to take off the gloves on his hands.
"There are two samples of Type 43 20mm anti-aircraft guns here. Originally, some of the shield accessories were not properly matched. There may be some safety issues in protecting the shooters, but they are basically usable.
I also had 100 rounds of artillery shells produced. You can try it out later to see if it works.
We have mastered the key manufacturing process of this anti-aircraft gun. As long as we have the right materials and equipment, we can carry out large-scale production at any time. I can also start production first when I go to Jinyang. "
Wang Houpu pointed to the two Type 43 20mm anti-aircraft guns assembled next to them, carried by two tires and supported by a hollow steel frame behind them.
Liu Shiqiang took a look and saw that it was somewhat similar to the German anti-aircraft guns he had seen before. He couldn't help but walked over and touched the steering gear. "How do you use this guy?" Liu Shiqiang asked.
Although he had studied artillery, he did not have high-end items such as anti-aircraft guns. Even among the relatively well-equipped Northeastern Army, anti-aircraft guns were rare.
"It's simple. Just adjust the direction like this. One person adjusts and the other fires..." Wang Houpu came over, opened the freshly made anti-aircraft gun and demonstrated to Liu Shiqiang with some excitement.
Liu Shiqiang watched and followed Wang Houpu's operation, and after a while he basically learned how to operate it.
Now that there was no way to test the live ammunition, the two were delayed for more than ten minutes. Wang Houpu happily took a group of key workers and started the journey to Jinyang with the squad leader.
As for Liu Shiqiang, after persuading the people here to leave, he did not touch the things inside, but carefully protected them.
The 101 Arsenal was originally built based on a cave. The road in was winding and difficult to navigate. It was more convenient to take the waterway. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the little devils to reach here.
But now the enemy is coming fiercely, and Gao Jianwu has to consider the worst case scenario.
The two divisions, on the one hand, are advancing along the road, among which the 101st Division is the main force. There are now three main groups blocking the enemy at all levels. However, they are not fighting to the death in their positions. They are mainly destroying roads and sneak attacks on enemy camps at night to allow them to attack. Slow progress.
The chariot division followed them, but the troops were stagnant and unable to move. They simply sent a chariot brigade to attack Pingcheng with the cooperation of an infantry brigade of the 101st Division.
I thought it was a simple thing, but I didn't expect that it had to be delayed here for 5 days, and the day lilies were even cold.
