Battle of the Third Reich

On October 2nd, 1940, it was a sunny day, as the blue sky was dotted with white clouds, the early autumn sunlight was scattered on the earth in the middle of the river, and generously put a piece of everything on it. Golden clothes. Chongqing has not seen the sun for a week. Citizens have turned over their clothes, bedding, books, etc. and left them to dry outside.

"Have you all listened to me, do you all know what to do?" Hu Wenbin shouted, standing on his hips with his arms crossed.

He is a plainclothes squad leader under the military investigation and is a subordinate of the social investigation team. Because he is from Huangpu, he has a regular establishment and hangs on the rank of second lieutenant.

"We are going to monitor the situation on this street and find any suspicious objects to report to me immediately. If we mess up the task assigned by Shangfeng, everyone, including me, will not be able to run one of us. The boss has already It’s very clear what is wrong, and it’s subject to the family law in addition to the national law. Presumably you all know how powerful the family law is.” Hu Wenbin glanced at the voter in front of his face with a straight face, and he looked very imposing. It looks like fifteen buckets fetching water in my heart.

Only two of this group of guys came out of the regular training class. The other few were not street gangsters or local robe brothers. To say that blackmailing, extortion, and abduction are all masters. They really let them do the right thing. , Think about it feels a little unreliable.

"Relax, team leader, this piece of land used to be Lao Tzu's territory. I couldn't hide Lao Tzu's eyes from any disturbances. Besides, the Chairman had transferred so many soldiers that there wouldn't be a turtle son who didn't open his eyes and came out to die at this time. Laozi promises to be successful today. If something goes wrong, you can cut Laozi's brain."

The guy who was talking back was from a robe. He had some status in the rivers and lakes. Due to his friendship with the top military commanders, he had never looked at the captain who had been airborne above.

"Relax? I am the least worried." The subordinates blatantly did not give themselves face, Hu Wenbin gritted his teeth, but on the surface, he wanted to maintain the power of the team leader, so he pretended to nod deep and nodded. it is good.

"Ge Laozi's, your turtle's brain, I will find a chance to cut it off someday." The plainclothes group thought to himself.

The prosperous area in Chongqing near Wangjiangmen has now entered a state of high alert. The streets and alleys were full of sight, and there were military camps in various uniforms. Army soldiers wearing a full set of German outfits carried medium and formal rifles with bayonets, arranged on both sides of the street to maintain order.

Tens of thousands of students and people organized by government departments, holding paper-made national flags of China and Germany, stood on the sidewalk waiting for the arrival of the German special envoy, and welcomed the team from Minsheng Road intersection along Zhongzheng Road to the lookout Jiangmen Wharf.

"Mr. Dai, everything is laid out, but a colonel in the garrison headquarters will not allow our people to enter the hall, saying that the guard there is already solid." Zhao Shirui ran to Dai Li's side, and whispered in the boss' ear .

"Don't pay attention to him, you now go to Liu Zhi in person and say that this is the principal's meaning. Everything must be considered as absolute safety. Once an accident occurs, we have several heads that can compensate the Germans." Dai Li Gloomy face, whispered.

"Yes, Mr. Dai, his subordinates will deal with it immediately." Zhao Shirui nodded, and then turned around and ran away.

"Yongnong, why are you still hiding here, the chairman is sending people to find you everywhere." At this time Zhang Wenbai trot all the way and ran over, pulling the sleeve of Dai Li and pulling it out.

"Brother Wenbai don't pull, I can go by myself." Dai Li really underestimated the strength of the other party, and the chief of the secret agent was taken away by the army general.

"Marshal, now the river below us is the Yangtze River in China." Baron Lébernau pointed to the porthole. In fact, the Yangtze River should be the ancient name for the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Only because foreign missionaries had been active in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River earlier, the name heard from local people was regarded as the entire Yangtze River.

"The National Government has arranged a welcome ceremony. The chairman will personally come to greet. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Chongqing are looking forward to the visit of German friends." Kong Xiangxi sat on the extra seat specially set up for him, all over his face It was an excited smile.

He had long known that Germany was strong, but he did not expect it to be so strong. The huge seaplane he was riding on now was enough to prove that German military technology had overwhelmed the world's leaders.

Taking off from Haiphong Port and flying directly to Chongqing, according to German pilots, the plane had plenty of power. She had a voyage enough to cover all the cities in China. What was more interesting to Kong Xiangxi was that there was no need to build an airport for it. A wide and calm water, this plane can take off and land at will.

The load is 18 tons, how much private goods can be carried at that time. It is a pity that this super aircraft is not on the purchase list provided by Germany to the government.

"The first batch of purchased materials has begun to be packed and packed, and can be shipped immediately after the agreement with your country is signed." Colonel Davidson picked up a telegram from the desk of the telecommunicationsman and reached out to Blumberg .

"The head of state is very satisfied with the progress of our current work. The next batch of supplies will arrive in French Indochina in the middle of this month. Mr. Minister, the large caliber howitzer you are requesting for purchase is currently only our military's active product. If your country is willing to wait patiently If so, Rhine Steel and Krupp can work for you again once again." Davidson turned to Kong Xiangxi and said.

"Thank you so much, I will report this good news to the state government." Kong Xiangxi responded with a smile.

The government once purchased a batch of large-caliber howitzers from Germany, and it is not a standard equipment used by the Germans themselves, but a special model specially made by Rheinmetall in response to China's requirements. This stereotyped sh18 type 150 mm howitzer uses a 32-fold barrel and has a range of more than two thousand meters than the German Army's own 30-fold gun.

At that time, China ordered twenty-four 32-diameter heavy howitzers, and specially sent professionals to the production plant to supervise the construction. This shows how much importance is attached to this weapon. After the domestic trial, it was unanimously praised by the senior internal army, so the government subsequently purchased a batch of 30 times the h18 as a supplement, and established the army's second heavy howitzer regiment.

Unfortunately, in the Songhu battlefield in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the German heavy howitzer did not play its due role due to the lagging of the artillery tactics and the gap in quantity. What's more pity is that in the chaotic retreat that followed, some heavy artillery was blocked by the mines buried by the retreating troops, but in desperation they could only be discarded in the river channel, plus the later Nanjing campaign because of transportation Inadvertently sinking into the Yangtze River, the Japanese army was equivalent to eliminating one-fifth of China’s heavy artillery soldiers without any help.

Therefore, the remaining heavy artillery was regarded as a treasure task of the treasure committee by the high-level government. Not only was it classified as a military unit directly under the Military Commission, every move and use had to be approved by the Military Commission.

At the time, due to protests from the Japanese government, Germany agreed to sever all similar transactions with the National Government. Therefore, the artillery regarded by the National Government as a strategic weapon was a loss of one and one less, and it was not supplemented at all. Care, don't dare to use it easily. So when it was learned that Germany was willing to re-sell this weapon to China, how could it not make everyone in the government feel overjoyed.

In fact, the German Commander-in-Chief feels that with the current strategic situation of the National Government, more small and medium-caliber mountain artillery should be purchased. Because the terrain currently occupied by the national government forces is not very conducive to the maneuver of this kind of heavy gun with a weight of five and a half tons on the battlefield.

However, Xu Jun immediately stated that since China has specifically proposed, how to use it is the other party's own problem. Germany only needs to deliver on time, and other things have nothing to do with Germany. Why should we jump out and remind. Xu Jun expects that the government will not be unaware of the problems. Their strategic situation is in full defense. The current purpose of purchasing this weapon is likely to be deployed in key areas as a defensive weapon. German generals are full of offensive spirit, so they suggest that the other party buy small and medium caliber artillery that is easy to maneuver, but did not consider that this German tactical concept may not be applicable in the current Chinese battlefield.

"My Excellency, Marshal, we are about to land. Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belt." The first officer walked out of the cockpit and reported to Borenborg that the people in the rear cabin hurried back to their seats. Okay, the buckle of the seat belt is fastened securely.

The huge bv222 roared past the tops of large and small boats docked in the Yangtze River, and the gray taxiboat bottom slowly approached the gentle water. The section of the Yangtze River has been completely cleared by the state government. There are no obstacles in front of the Oheim crew. The seaplane landed cleanly on the water, and most of the fuselage was shrouded in agitated water mist.

Afterwards, the seaplane's taxiing speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the center of the river near Wangjiangmen. For the first time, the whole picture of this behemoth was displayed in front of China's welcoming people.
