Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

(Thanks to book friends st201122 and Tian Cangye for their generous reward, here is the second update today^_^)

The tank force, which the Japanese army has always regarded as its trump card, was also completely wiped out in this storm of iron and fire. A mere twenty tanks were vulnerable to the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Eighth Red Army, especially the 44 150mm caliber guns.

The heavy artillery is even more powerful. Even if it does not hit directly, as long as it lands near the tank, even if the armor blocks the flying shrapnel, the Japanese in the tank will be killed or stunned by the powerful shock wave, especially the large number of Japanese tanks.

Relatively backward riveting technology was used. Under the detonation of the shock wave, many rivets flew off and splashed out, exploding like bullets in the cab. It became the biggest cause of death for Japanese tank soldiers. Almost all those who were lucky enough to survive were turned into pockmarks.

...

More than a hundred remaining Japanese soldiers struggled to escape back into the city, trying to fight with their comrades in the city. However, at this time, the total number of Japanese troops in the city was less than 300. How could they stop the 30,000-strong army of the Independent Division? As for

After seeing the powerful artillery fire of the Independent Division, the puppet troops immediately surrendered even if they were not killed. Can these weaklings really be expected to work hard for the "Empire of Japan"?

Due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the Independent Division occupied the entire city of Tianjin without any effort. Hu Weidong also learned that Xu Chengji and the others captured Dongjuzi Airport, set up a trap to capture dozens of Japanese pilots and crew members, and seized the aircraft.

I couldn't help but be overjoyed at the good news of 36 aircraft, "Who said that special forces are useless in large-scale battles? Without them, Fengtai's arsenal would be blown up at best, and don't count on the aircraft this time...

"

However, after seeing those aircraft, Hu Weidong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "A flying wing with 12 bombers and 24 fighter jets is indeed a great gain, but this model is really a scam! The fighter jets are all backward double-winged aircraft.

Forget about the planes (Note 1), the bombers were all Type 93 heavy bombers that were later evaluated extremely poorly (extremely slow, not very far, and with a high accident rate...)..."

But no matter what, being able to seize so many aircraft is always a great achievement, and after occupying the airport, a large amount of aviation gasoline that the Soviet area cannot produce on its own was also seized (ordinary gasoline has a low octane number and can be used, but the aircraft's

The performance will drop a lot, and the life of the engine will also be shortened.). Therefore, Hu Weidong did not hesitate to ask for credit from great people for the special operations team. Xu Chengji and his men also became the first batch of collective special merits after the Red Army reformed the merit standards.

Xu Chengji's merits were originally fully qualified to be awarded the individual special merit. However, for the sake of fairness, Hu Weidong proposed that cadres above the company level (including company level) should not participate in the selection of individual awards (only martyrs can make an exception), and Hu Weidong proposed

The special operations brigade is a regiment-level organization, and because it is a special unit, all members are promoted to one level. Therefore, as a brigade-level cadre, Xu Chengji naturally cannot win the individual special merit award...

The special forces all had such gains, not to mention the main force of the independent division that occupied the entire city of Tianjin. Even though the Japanese army destroyed a lot of equipment when they saw defeat, they still seized thousands of guns of various types and dozens of grenade launchers.

, 8 Type 92 infantry guns and seven repaired Type 89 medium tanks, and the economic benefits gained were even greater than those gained in the First World War in Hangzhou.

It turns out that although Tianjin in 1936 was not as prosperous as the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou area, it was the base camp for Japanese operations in North China. Over the years, Japanese-funded enterprises in Tianjin, especially banks, have made a lot of money, and quite a few of them have made a lot of money.

Some of them were used by the greedy Japanese as capital to further suck blood from North China. As a result, after the independent division occupied Tianjin, they all were confiscated without ceremony. In addition, Tianjin, especially the Japanese Concession, was home to thousands of Japanese expatriates.

, these uninvited "guests", the independent division also collected the arrears of "accommodation fees" from them as usual. The two received a total of gold and silver foreign exchange worth more than 10 million yuan, and countless antique calligraphy and paintings. In addition,

At this time, Tianjin was still the largest gathering place for traitors in the Mainland. More than half of the famous traitors in North China lived here. Most of them were hiding in the Japanese Concession to prevent people with lofty ideals from attacking them. But now the independent division has occupied

After arriving in Tianjin, this turned out to be "catching turtles in a urn", and traitors are basically weaklings who cannot hide any secrets under torture. Therefore, the independent division's collection of their illegal property is much more thorough. Unfortunately, a large number of them have been

It is a homestead that the independent division cannot take away, otherwise the income will probably be more than what is obtained from the Japanese...

In addition, there are many industrial enterprises in Tianjin, and some of the government-owned industries can be confiscated according to regulations. Hu Weidong will naturally not miss it, and Hu Weidong will not let go of talents from Tianjin colleges and universities such as Beiyang Institute of Technology and Nankai University.

pass......

In addition to Japan, Tianjin also has concessions from many countries. Hu Weidong was originally planning to take them all back and make some foreign money, but because of the opinions of a foreign friend, he softened his approach a lot...

"There are reporters to interview? There are foreigners? Political commissar, you don't know foreign languages, why are you asking me?" Hu Weidong said with a grimace. Now that Zhang Hao is the political commissar, he no longer worries that he said the wrong thing, but for

He still didn't like reporters who relied on words and writing, and he still ignored them if he could.

"But they must see you, this legendary general." Zhang Hao couldn't help but shook his head, but still insisted, "Okay, at least you must see this one. This is a political mission!"

"The American "New York Daily" correspondent in China, the British "Daily Herald" special correspondent Xerox?" Hu Weidong had no impression of this name, but he recognized the American immediately when he saw it, "It turns out to be "Westward Journey"

How come Edgar Snow, the author of "The Mandarin Chronicles", now calls himself "Xerox"?" He did not know that "Xerox" was Snow's original Chinese name.

In Chinese, the translator did not know that Snow had a Chinese name, so he translated it as "Snow", a name that later became more familiar to Chinese people. However, not many people knew the original Chinese name "Xerox"...

Note 1: They are all Japanese Type 95 fighter jets that entered active service in 1935. This was also the last type of biplane equipped by the Japanese army. It has excellent maneuverability and a pretty good ceiling. In fact, it was considered a good fighter in 1936.

It's a fighter jet, but as an outdated biplane, one doesn't feel confident at first glance...
