"Boom! Boom! Boom..." A cloud of dust and smoke rose into the sky along with the flames of the explosion! The T-26 tank that was used as a test target in the distance exploded! The parts fell to the ground, and everyone was stunned!

"Commander...Commander, what...is this..." After swallowing several times, Huo Qingyun regained his composure and asked Tu Qianjun. (Just read the novel.)

"Haha... This is the 'Punisher' 35mm grenade launcher newly developed by our ordnance industry!" Tu Qianjun smiled at Huo Qingyun and said: "Why do you think I asked you to come back?! Aren't you worried that you don't have enough firepower?

!”

With that said, Tu Qianjun patted Huo Qingyun's shoulder with emotion and said softly: "You guys are going through life and death out there, how can I not worry about you?! This is a man-portable grenade launcher that I ordered the Ordnance Industry Research Institute to develop specially!"

With that said, Tu Qianjun stretched out his hand and Liu Yunjiao knowingly handed the grenade launcher to Tu Qianjun's hand. After weighing it, Tu Qianjun said to Huo Qingyun.

"This gun has a total length of 15 kilograms. That is 30 kilograms! It is equipped with a 'cat's eye' 3x series optical lens sight and a stable bipod!" After a pause, Tu Qianjun said to Huo Qingyun: "The sight range can reach one

Kilometers! Burst target 500 meters!”

"The theoretical rate of fire is 500 rounds per minute, but after our testing in combat, it was 15 to 20 rounds per minute for a single shot and 30 to 40 rounds per minute for a continuous shot." As he said that, Tu Qianjun smiled and threw the gun to him.

Huo Qingyun, and Huo Qingyun quickly caught it!

"Each 35mm grenade used weighs 0.25 kilograms. A 15-round empty drum magazine weighs 2.5 kilograms. Even if all are added, a gun with two 15-round drum magazines weighs 27.5 kilograms."

Huo Qingyun couldn't help but tremble a little while holding the gun! This thing seems to be very heavy, but compared to the 107 Tiger Roar, it is already very light! Although the attack effect is slightly worse than the Tiger Roar, it can be used to cover fire once

!

If your own people are surrounded, this gun can open a gap directly from a distance! Two guns can complete a fire blockade! They are all old people in the war, how can they not understand the benefits of this?!

"This gun is modular. To put it simply, if there is a problem with one piece, just replace it!" Finally, Tu Qianjun laughed and said: "I know you are fighting guerrillas in the Minjiang River and your life is hard! For the time being, we cannot directly fight with you.

The Japanese are fighting a war, so this is the only support I can give you..."

Speaking of this, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but sigh deeply. What a poor foundation! It seems that the three eastern provinces are cooking with fire and the flowers are blooming, but in fact they are not even a little bit worse than Japan!

Skilled workers, strong production potential, strong reserve mobilization capabilities...etc.! You know, most of Japan's reserve soldiers are actually veterans who have experienced the war!

When these people are mobilized, they can basically shoot with guns! In 1937, Japan's total population was 70.63 million, including 16.93 million men of military age. The number of men available for recruitment accounted for about 56.2% of the men of military age, about 10 million!

At this time, the total strength of the Japanese army was 1.08 million, which expanded to more than 7.2 million in 1942! Data show that the maximum number of troops Japan invested in the Chinese battlefield reached more than 3.8 million!

Now the National Defense Force only has five legions with over 1.1 million people. Even if Long Yun, Yang Zengxin and others are included, the army will not exceed 2 million! How to fight the Japanese army?!

Once a full-scale war breaks out, the basic function of the coastal defense line of the weak navy is to rely on coastal defense artillery and be on the defensive. Without aircraft carriers, the combat radius of the air force is also greatly restricted!

Currently, the three eastern provinces have seven divisions and 756 fighter jet combat units, while the Japanese Army’s aviation force is 140 squadrons. The Navy’s standing base aviation force is 65 flying teams, and the Army and Navy have a total of about 2,700 aircraft! This

It's simply not proportional!

And, Japan has complete flight schools and air force training as support! Currently, Japan has Akeno Army Flight School, Hamamatsu Army Flight School, Baichengzi Army Flight School, Hokoda Army Flight School, and Army Junior Flying School.

pilot training institution!

This does not include the navy, which means that once a war breaks out, Japan can completely make up for its own combat consumption. However, once the National Defense Force is lost, it will be difficult to replenish it!

After they finish fighting, they can still use students to replenish them! But what about the National Defense Force?! At present, in addition to the National Defense University, the three northeastern provinces also have the Air Force Command College. At the same time, although Tu Qianjun has strengthened the construction of the air force, it will not be possible to recover what was lost in an instant.

Ten years of air force, a hundred years of navy! No matter how hard the National Defense Force works, it will always take time to settle. Although more than eight aviation schools covering the entire three northeastern provinces have been opened, air force elites at all levels, including Gao Zhihang, have been mobilized to teach.

But forming combat effectiveness does not happen overnight. What Tu Qianjun is smarter than the Japanese is that he does not send all his elites to the front line like the Japanese do.

In fact, more than 50% of the aces of the National Defense Force are teaching students in aviation schools in various places. Actual combat experience is more important than anything else. This group of aces who have experienced actual combat will teach the students everything they know.

As long as these students experience a real battle, countless aces will emerge! And Tu Qianjun has an unparalleled advantage in Japan - a large number of overseas Chinese!

Under Situ Meitang's call, the Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, North and South America, and Europe were very angry at Japan's actions! They chose to return to the country and join the army and came to the three northeastern provinces.

This has greatly enriched the air force of the three northeastern provinces. Now there are at least more than 800 trainees in the air force academies of the three northeastern provinces who have returned from overseas. Some of them are proficient in aircraft driving, and some have worked as ground handlers.

These people have greatly enriched the air force of the three northeastern provinces. But it will take time to form combat effectiveness!

"During this period, you should get familiar with this gun!" Tu Qianjun smiled and patted Huo Qingyun on the shoulder, and said softly: "We still have a score to settle with the Japanese! However, for the time being, I can only suffer you!"

Holding the gun tightly, Huo Qingyun nodded fiercely. He naturally knew the current situation of the National Defense Forces. It would take time for the National Defense Forces to prepare for a full-scale war.

However, it is not up to the National Defense Forces to decide how much time to give. This is completely in the hands of the Japanese. Now that the land of Minjiang River is occupied by the Japanese, the National Defense Forces have to swallow their anger!

Why?! It’s because the National Defense Forces can’t fight it!

"Heizi! Remember, we have to fight sooner or later!" As if he could see what Huo Qingyun was thinking, Tu Qianjun said solemnly to him: "I will make the Japanese pay the price!!"

"National Defense Force! Kill!!" Huo Qingyun's eyes were red, and he held a steel gun in front of his commander-in-chief and gave a fierce military salute! He said loudly!

At this time, Liu Yunjiao took out a gun again out of nowhere. This gun looked like a Tiger assault rifle, but it seemed to be a little different. The barrel was lengthened. The butt seemed to have also been modified and installed.

A scope.

"Also, this is a new rifle!" Tu Qianjun took the gun with a smile and threw it to Huo Qingyun: "This is the 'Thunder' Tiger sniper rifle we developed!"

This gun was modified by Tu Qianjun based on the SVD sniper rifle, 85 Sniper. Of course, the accuracy cannot be as high as that of later generations. The effective range is only about 600 meters.

"Get familiar with it! If you use it well, you can save the lives of many brothers!" Tu Qianjun said to Huo Qingyun, who nodded! After giving a military salute, he took the rifle.

These sights are the result of the recent efforts of the National Defense Forces Ordnance Industry Research Institute. As early as 1932, Li Chengqian, the engineering section chief of the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, came over and became the deputy director of the National Defense Forces Ordnance Industry Institute and the general manager of the three eastern provinces arsenal.

This research and development was completed under his leadership. After Li Chengqian became the Governor-General of the Ordnance Factory of the Three Eastern Provinces in 1932, he improved and strengthened the factory's processing technology and basic technology.

In 1934, the three eastern provinces secretly established tool factories and set up tool inspection rooms. They imported a number of precision processing equipment and testing instruments, such as precision turning machines, thread grinders, super optical comparators, universal tool microscopes, etc., to strengthen the inspection of measuring tools and important cutting tools.

Manufacturing and testing.

Subsequently, a materials laboratory was established and a variety of physical performance testing equipment was added, such as an Ams 30-ton universal testing machine, a Mohr fatigue testing machine, an Ams impact testing machine, various hardness testing machines and German Zeiss gold

Phase microscope, etc.

In order to strengthen the control of material quality. Based on the new German process regulations, the process was supplemented and revised from the end of 1934. For some parts with more complex shapes, prototype milling technology and shovel tooth forming cutter were used.

, combined with more advanced cutting tools such as milling cutters, and finally compiled more detailed process regulations, which were completed in 1936.

Due to their close relationship with the German Weimar government, starting in 1933, Germany's Carl Zeiss Company and Emil Bucher Company began to produce simple but good-performance 2x and 3x series optical lenses for the Wehrmacht to produce sights.

Later, various equipment, drawings and engineer guidance were provided.

The first batch of sights produced in the three eastern provinces, which is now what Tu Qianjun calls the "cat's eye" 3x series optical lens type, is an improved version of the Zeiss sight.

Tu Qianjun then arranged for Huo Qingyun and the others to conduct live ammunition exercises here. They always need time to get familiar with a new gun. He took Liu Yunjiao and left the arsenal.

When Tu Qianjun returned to the headquarters, he saw a staff officer hurriedly walked up and whispered: "Commander, Miss Huang Xiaoling is here. She has been waiting for you in the reception room of the headquarters for a long time..."

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but frown after hearing what the staff officer said, and nodded to indicate that he understood. Then he led Liu Yunjiao towards the reception room.

"Bah~" The door opened with a sound, and sure enough, she saw Huang Xiaoling waiting for her quietly there. Seeing Tu Qianjun walk in, Huang Xiaoling couldn't help but smile.

Tu Qianjun didn't say much. He smiled and sat on the chair and said to Huang Xiaoling: "How is it?! Is there any problem with Red?!"

Huang Xiaoling shook her head. After being silent for a while, she whispered to Tu Qianjun: "Actually, I don't have much to do here today. I just want to see you."

When Liu Yunjiao saw this situation, he wanted to turn around and go out. But Tu Qianjun frowned and glared at Liu Yunjiao, which frightened the little bully. He had to continue to stand behind Tu Qianjun in embarrassment.

Huang Xiaoling saw Tu Qianjun's performance and smiled helplessly. She said softly: "Can't we be alone?!"

"I can't tell anyone anything. This is my habit. I'm sorry." Tu Qianjun smiled at Huang Xiaoling. This tone was intimate but unfamiliar. Huang Xiaoling seemed to understand something about this attitude. She smiled and said softly: "Then

, Nothing happened. I’m going back first..."

After saying that, he stood up and left the reception room. Tu Qianjun smiled and sent Huang Xiaoling out. He didn't see her out of the headquarters until he turned around and returned to his office.

Liu Yunjiao looked at his commander-in-chief and hesitated to speak. But in the end he remained silent and followed Tu Qianjun back to the office with his head lowered.

"Xiaochen, do you think I'm not enthusiastic enough for Huang Xiaoling?!" Liu Yunjiao had not yet spoken. Tu Qianjun spoke first. Liu Yunjiao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing his commander-in-chief's words, and then shook his head.

"Commander, I don't know why, but you have a reason for doing this. It's just that I didn't understand it..."

Tu Qianjun smiled and shook his head. Liu Yunjiao was also a Bensan person at this time. However, his temper was still a bit childish. According to Tu Qianjun's habits, he should be allowed to study at the National Defense University in two years.

Then he went directly to the front-line troops to earn merit, but now he has many people around him. Liu Yunjiao is a good person and has good skills. Even if he wanted to send Liu Yunjiao to the National Defense University for further study, Master Pao would not agree.

While the three eastern provinces were developing silently, the Central Plains was in turmoil! At the end of July, out of strong indignation against the Japanese occupation of Fujian and sympathy for the New Guangxi Clique, powerful factions from all walks of life and localities across the country began to lean toward the New Guangxi Clique.

On this day, Chiang Zhongzheng, who was resting in Lushan, welcomed a guest. This guest was not an ordinary guest. He was also a big boss back then! Although he no longer has real power, his influence is still there.

His personal arrival also forced Jiang Zhongzheng to greet him in person.

"Haha... My brother Huanzhang came to visit, which really made the humble house look brighter! Haha..." Jiang Zhongzheng laughed and invited the visitor into his living room.

Even if he didn't want to, he still had to welcome this visitor in person. Without him, this visitor was still his sworn brother to Jinlan. Politely speaking, Chiang Zhongzheng had to come out to greet him.

The visitor smiled faintly: "The chairman is now in control of Lushan, and I'm just here to congratulate you. Please~"

These words were a bit harsh. However, Chiang Zhongzheng was also a veteran in the political arena. He did not show any dissatisfaction and responded with a smile: "Please!" and then invited the visitor into his living room.

Tea was served, and after some leisurely chatting, the guests didn't hesitate to get straight to the point.

"Chairman, I'm here to know what the Chairman thinks about the Guangdong and Guangxi matter?!" Jiang Zhongzheng heard the visitor's words, smiled slightly, and responded: "Oh?! My brother Huanzhang is also interested in this matter?!

"

The visitor snorted and said directly: "I'm not very interested in this matter. I'm already over fifty years old. How many more years can I hang around?! You don't know the current situation! Japan is entrenched in the southeast.

You may take action at any time! But your troops are still confronting Guangdong and Guangxi. What will happen to the country if this continues!"

After hearing this, Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but sigh, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Brother Huanzhang, it's not that Zhongzheng doesn't want to concentrate its efforts! But what Guangdong and Guangxi have shown now is the intention to replace the Nanjing government. As the chairman of the National Committee, how can I

Don’t you express your gratitude?!”

The visitor interrupted impatiently: "Zhongzheng, we plain people don't tell secrets! Now we're fighting with Li Zongren and the others. It won't do you any good. And now the Japanese are watching with eagerness, so we can't hurt ourselves!"
