Chapter 343 Interviews

Anan Weiji, who was smiling, said it very relaxedly. Ishihara Kaner heard a cold war. It was not a matter of hundreds or thousands, but a dozen or 200,000 people. These people were all young and strong laborers in Manchuria. Now nearly one-third of the young and strong mankind have fled to Rehe. Many places have long been desolate and nine out of ten rooms have been empty. Not to mention how to collect these 200,000 young and strong laborers, even if they were collected, it would definitely not be a short time. Moreover, this direction of the King Kong can be built within two years? Then it is best to pray that Zhang Xuewu will not be restless within the past two years, or that the empire can sign a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union can recognize the interests of the empire in China. As the last bargaining chip, it is to ced Mongolia to the Soviet Union to satisfy the appetite of the polar bears.

Ishihara Kanr didn't know that Anan Weiji's father had done civil engineering and was a big contractor. After hearing and witnessing it, Anan Weiji also learned a lot of his father's tricks, so that as long as it was told by Chief Mijiro Umezu, it would not be possible. There were no conditions to deal with fooling around. In fact, Anan Weiji fought just this abacus, because with Japan's national strength and current situation, it would be difficult to build a 40-kilometer defense line, even forty kilometers. You must know that the Macedonian defense line was built by France on the day of the truce in World War I. There were more than 300,000 "French citizens" from various African colonies who died. This was an absolute line of defense for bones.

Compared with Zhang Xuewu, Anan Weiji did not think that the empire had the resources to build a fortress city like Chaoyang and Zhangjiakou. It can be said that Anan Weiji had already thought of the very few resources he could use, so Anan Weiji had thought of a solution. The only way was to use Japan's unique reinforced field fortifications to cooperate with permanent fortifications, mobile equipped with artillery fire support, minefields and anti-tank trenches, and infantry oblique sections to cooperate with each other. To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale deal. Because there is not enough steel bars and concrete, the fortifications can only be simplified and the overall earth trenches structure can be replaced with permanent fortifications. In fact, just looking at the effect, it can barely achieve three-fifths of the permanent fortifications, but the workload of excavating earth is very amazing. This is equivalent to a large-scale excavation on a 400-kilometer-long and ten kilometers wide area, making it difficult to move forward.

Due to insufficient labor in the early stage, Anan Weiji was preparing to report to Mijiro Umezu, and was preparing to transfer seven Manchurian ** Brigades to undertake preliminary construction and later warning, and also transfer the 13th Division, 18th Division, 101st Division, 114th Division, 116th Division and four other ** mixed brigades to participate in the defense line construction on the spot in Jinzhou!

However, Anan Weiji also made two preparations. Because Okamura Yiji was affiliated with the North China Front Army, his military headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters were not included in the Kwantung Army, so even the commander-in-chief Umezu Mijiro might not be able to command and everything must be carried out in consultation. Therefore, Anan Weiji could only order the troops to arrest anti-Japanese elements in the name of arresting anti-Japanese elements. The entire village and the entire town were surrounded one by one, forcibly escorting all young and middle-aged people away. When someone escaped, he shot and burned the village and town. As soon as Anan Weiji's project began, it turned out that hundreds of kilometers between Jinzhou and Fengtian into an unmanned area?

In order to escape the Kwantung Army's arrest of labor, many people chose to flee to Chaoyang. After the Japanese army was defeated, they almost completely gave up the defense against Chaoyang and moved all the focus back to Jinzhou. The fortifications built in Shanhaiguan were also given to Zhang Xuewu in disguise.

The Japanese were in trouble in the Northeast, and Zhang Xuewu instructed the Northeast cluster to do his best to support refugees entering Rehe, and at an appropriate time, use armored regiments as a unit to make a brief attack under air cover to ensure that the passage for refugees to escape Rehe is unobstructed, and instructed local governments to provide resettlement and care. It can be said that at this moment, Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar are the most lacking in labor, a large amount of labor.

After this battle, Zhang Xuewu also realized a problem, that is, bf-109f, bf-109k, and falcon fighters are not suitable for ground attacks. Simple bomb drops can still be carried out, and accurate ground attacks are very difficult, especially for attacks on armored targets on the ground. Moreover, if rockets are hung, the rocket nest will affect the maneuverability of the aircraft. Therefore, Baotou Aviation Design Institute has developed a ground attack aircraft, which is also a powerful attack aircraft!

Strike aircraft are actually a major category of combat aircraft. They are mainly used to assault targets from low altitude and ultra-low altitudes or targets within the depth of shallow close combat, and directly support ground troops to fight. They are also called close-range air support aircraft. Strike aircraft has good low-altitude maneuverability, stability and good ability to search for small targets on the ground. They can be equipped with a wide variety of ground attack weapons. In order to improve survivability, they generally have armor protection at their key parts.

In history, the first attack aircraft was first used by Germany. The earliest attack aircraft was the Junker Ji-type aircraft developed by the German Junker Company. It completed its first test flight in 1915. It was a biplane equipped with aluminum alloy skin and protective armor. It was also the earliest all-metal aircraft. The aircraft was equipped with machine guns, carrying a small number of bombs, and can strafuse ground targets at low altitudes. Later, Junker Company developed a more advanced cli-iv attack aircraft, which changed from a double wing to a single wing, and its speed and maneuverability were also improved. The aircraft was equipped with three machine guns, which showed good performance and combat effectiveness when performing dangerous low-altitude close-range firepower.

Its improved type is the famous Junker 87 dive bomber, namely the Stuka dive bomber, which uses high-angle dive attack marching columns and tanks to directly support ground troops' operations.

However, it is a pity that the Germans have never exported Stuka's technology to Zhang Xuewu. In fact, the Germans are now very upset about their technology, production lines and a large number of aircraft engines in the past. The aircraft that was indeed unknown at that time actually performed extremely well in the Sino-Japanese War, which also made the Germans vigorously improve the fighter jets, and European and American countries also felt a great threat, so an inadvertent arms race for air fighters began.

This kind of attack aircraft named "Falcon" is still in the test stage. One of six prototypes fell, and the other five successfully completed all test projects and combat tasks. However, judging from the degree of fire from ground fire, the Falcon fighter also needs to add armor, replace more powerful aircraft engines, and be equipped with two 37mm caliber aviation machine guns, which are specially used for low-altitude anti-tank combat.

Zhang Xuewu suggested that bulletproof steel plates be installed on the front of the fuselage to fully protect the engine, fuel tank, and driver shooters from small-caliber bullets. The fighter must be able to load machine guns, machine cannons, rockets, and carry a 500-meter aviation bomb.

This data is not actually too high. The only problem is that the overall performance of the Falcon fighter seems to have reached its limit. Since the design uses too many streamlined designs, the fighter is still a piston propeller aircraft, not a jet fighter in later generations. Therefore, once the aircraft enters the tail rotation state, it is difficult to easily change it out. Moreover, the dive speed of the aircraft is far higher than that of Stuka, which brings the overall pressure on the fuselage and the greater the anti-twist load. Before obtaining the complete test report, Zhang Xuewu did not plan to start production and train the Falcon, because Zhang Xuewu could not bear the huge losses of the failed aircraft model. Moreover, the enemy Falcon mainly deals with is not the Japanese, but a close neighbor with a large number of armored troops.

In Zhang Xuewu's dictionary, there are only national interests, national interests, and no international interests. The purpose of international law is to be violated. While Zhang Xuewu was fighting, he gave the outside world a very warlike wrong impression. In fact, this is a posture that Zhang Xuewu put forward, which is to show all hostile forces at home and abroad, and don't mess with me easily.

On July 2, 1938, Zhang Xuewu had completed the replenishment training of the troops. The large amount of food, ammunition, materials, and oil provided by the Soviet Union basically arrived at Dingyuan Camp. The train dispersed and transferred supplies day and night for 24 hours. Because the Soviets felt that Zhang Xuewu would give the Japanese a thunder blow, they generously provided all the supplies Zhang Xuewu needed. Regarding the deep friendship of the Soviet people, Zhang Xuewu secretly vowed that he would take back all the incompetent Qing governments, so as not to get the Russian people hungry and cold in the Far East of Siberia. In the future, let the friendly Chinese people endure hardships and freeze for the Russian people! This is the true nationalist spirit worthy of praise.

Zhang Xuewu, who was about to enjoy a rare leisure afternoon, was told by the Political Department that an American Times reporter named Maria wanted to interview him. Zhang Xuewu was indeed a little shocked. He was able to go to Times. Although Times is not as famous as later generations, its influence is extremely far-reaching, because Zhang Xuewu knew that Times is the most influential news weekly in the United States and is known as the world historical library. It was founded by Henry Luce and Britton Harden in March 1923. It has a considerable influence around the world. But was the interview promoted to his cover? If so, Zhang Xuewu would not want to waste such a great opportunity and remind Americans who are benefiting from the flood of loneliness, so as not to be too late to scream when they are beaten in the future.

"Hello General Zhang, in the words of you Chinese, I have long admired you, long admired you!" The Chinese level of Maria, a female reporter of Times magazine, was beyond Zhang Xuewu's expectations.
