Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 108 Finding out the reason

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang stayed up all night. On the one hand, they found it unbelievable that they had achieved such a brilliant result. On the other hand, they were constantly simulating various attack directions of the Japanese counterattack in order to make contingency plans.

It was not until dawn that Yu Ye came to the regiment headquarters to pick up the drawing tools he had left there yesterday.

"Hey, you two are up so early?"

Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong: "......"

"Why this expression?"

"We both didn't sleep all night!"

"Ah ha? Could it be that Zhang Dabiao and his men failed in their attack on Yangmingbao Airport? Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen." Yu Ye said with a frown.

"We didn't fail, we won a great victory! The entire Yangmingbao Airport was burned to the ground by the artillery company and the cannon in our regiment. Planes from two flying squadrons and more than 300 Japanese soldiers were all buried in the sea of ​​fire." Zhao Gang said excitedly.

"Oh."

Yu Ye just said "oh" lightly, and his reaction was unusually calm.

what's the situation?

"Old Yu, why did you react like that?" Li Yunlong was a little confused.

"The cannons I made destroyed the Japanese and destroyed them all. Shouldn't this be a normal thing?" Yu Ye asked back.

Li Yunlong: “…”

Damn it, just pretend I didn’t say anything, Li Yunlong cursed in his heart.

Why is it so difficult for scholars to remain calm when they are angry with others?

Yu Ye didn't care about that. He took his drawing work and walked towards the Liaoyuan Ice Factory. There was still a huge amount of work waiting for him to do.

According to Yu Ye's estimation, it would take the Japanese a day to discover that the Yangmingbao Airport was built by the Independent Regiment.

Then they gathered their troops, and it took about two days to prepare and mobilize various materials.

During these three days, the Liaoyuan Arsenal needed to produce enough equipment for the independent regiment to break through the Japanese encirclement.

In the previous few months, Yu Ye got up early and went to bed late, making maps almost all the time. After the college students joined the Liaoyuan Arsenal, he helped his comrades to read the drawings and gradually began to turn the things on the drawings into real objects.

A large number of steel balls are waiting to be stuffed into these objects along with explosives to give the Japanese a little shock.

......

On the morning of the second day after Yangmingbao was bombed, Yoshio Shinozuka came to the outside of the airport with several guards.

At this time, the airport was still engulfed in flames.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the sea of ​​fire expressionlessly, and behind him was Captain Nakamura.

Captain Nakamura looked as pale as death at this time. His duty was to be responsible for the outer guard of Yangmingbao Airport. At this time, there was no living Japanese soldier in the entire Yangmingbao Airport. No matter what, he should be the person responsible for this incident.

Even if Nakamura wanted to find someone to take the blame, there was no one who could do so. He was the person directly and most responsible.

"General, I..."

Captain Nakamura opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he said nothing.

"Nakamura, please commit suicide."

Yoshio Shinozuka pulled out a non-commissioned officer's knife from the guard beside him and handed it to Nakamura.

The tone was calm, but left no room for doubt.

Captain Nakamura's legs were shaking like sieves at this time. He could not stand steadily at all, and he did not dare to take the knife handed to him by Yoshio Shinozuka.

Even though everyone says they have practiced Bushido, they still cannot see through death.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Captain Nakamura with contempt, and threw the officer's sword directly in front of Nakamura.

He turned away from looking at him and said to the guard beside him, "Help him."

Since he is not decent, let us help him to be decent.

"Mr. Otani, you are the empire's top artillery expert. I'm counting on you this time." Yoshio Shinozuka said to a middle-aged man in military uniform beside him.

"Please rest assured, General. Otani will do his best."

"Go."

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and asked the artillery expert to check what type of artillery was used in the bombing of Yangmingbao Airport.

He stood quietly outside the Yangmingbao Airport, leaning on his general's sword, watching the raging flames that continued all night long.

As the fire flickered, the expression on Yoshio Shinozuka's face flickered.

Everyone else felt that the highest military commander of the Japanese army in Jin was filled with great rage. No one dared to step forward and speak, for fear that a single word from them would ignite this rage.

After a whole morning of investigation, the empire's best artillery expert walked up to Shinozuka Yoshio with some uncertainty: "Report to the general, after investigation, it can be ruled out that the weapons used to bombard Yangmingbao Airport this time were mortars and infantry guns.

Based on the description of the guards last night, we can be confident that the weapon used by the enemy is a rocket launcher."

"Rocket launcher?" A hint of doubt flashed in Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes. He had never heard of this kind of artillery shell before.

"Yes, General, the Russians equipped their army with this new type of artillery shell last year.

Compared with traditional shells, this type of shell has a longer range, can be loaded with more explosives after proper adjustment, and has a stronger explosive effect," said Otani.

"Nani?"

Shinozuka Yoshio's face was full of confusion. The point he was concerned about was different from the point the artillery expert mentioned. "Otani, you said this might be Russian equipment?"

If Russia really has such advanced equipment, then this incident will be a big deal. It is not just a simple war with China, but means that Russia has been deeply involved.

"No, no, no, General, I mean that having this technology does not mean that the Russians directly imported weapons and equipment.

Fifteen kilometers away from the airport, I found three launching sites.

There are many horseshoe prints around the position, which shows that the gun carriages used to launch these rockets are very light, which is inconsistent with the rockets used by the Russians. "

Otani quickly explained that even though he was a technical expert, he knew that if Yoshio Shinozuka misunderstood, it could lead to very serious strategic misjudgments.

"Otani-kun, I want to ask you a question. Is it possible to manufacture this kind of rocket with the current technological level of the Empire?"

"It takes time to test and finalize. It will probably take at least one to two years." Otani made his own judgment.

"Okay, I understand. Let me ask you one last question. Are the shells used in this bombing the same as those used by the Eighth Route Army in the previous battle with my Fourth Brigade?" Shinozuka Yoshio said, staring into Otani's eyes.

Otani pondered for a moment and said firmly: "General, although the range of this artillery shell is much greater than the shell fired in the last battle, the caliber and firing principle of the two are the same."

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly narrowed. He already knew which unit had bombed Yangmingbao Airport this time.

Eighth Route Army, Independent Regiment.

The Japanese artillery expert Otani hesitated for a long time, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Otani-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"General, there is something I find incredible, but I still want to report it to you. The range of this rocket launcher has exceeded the most advanced rocket launcher of the Russians.

Moreover, it can be clearly inferred that this rocket launcher was modified based on the last one.

Therefore, I speculate that the Eighth Route Army must have a military factory with a fairly high level of technology.

Although this sounds as exaggerated as a backward agricultural empire suddenly building an aircraft carrier. "

He does not mean that.

Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he had made up his mind to kill the independent regiment and the possible arsenal.
