Chapter 563: Bloody Battle at Nianzhuang (1)
Linyi, Shandong,
Qianhewan Village,
Huaye Headquarters,
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
There is a row of tables against the wall, filled with radio stations.
The sound of the telegraph keys kept ticking!
A thin figure looked at the map, his face full of fatigue, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
A telegraphist stood up suddenly.
"Report to the commander, the Third Pacification Zone has revolted as agreed. Now our 13th Column has crossed the area and occupied Caobaji after a day of fierce fighting! The enemy's garrison Li Mi Corps has withdrawn towards Xuzhou!"
The atmosphere at the headquarters immediately became lively.
"Haha, we finally cut their long snake formation in half!"
"Huang Baitao still wants to retreat back to Xuzhou, but there's no way out now!"
"This Li Mi is such a good friend. At the critical moment, he abandoned Huang Baitao and ran away!"
"From this point of view, these officials all want to preserve their own strength. It is unjust for the Kuomintang to remain undefeated!"
Another telegraph operator stood up.
"Xuzhou insider intelligence: The Kuomintang Xuzhou Air Force encountered an air raid by our army today, losing 45 aircraft. Currently, the enemy Air Force Xuzhou Command Post Major General Xu Kang committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
The room was boiling with excitement.
"Our air force?"
"A few days ago, the 1st Air Attack Group of the East Field Army has entered the Jinan Airport. Their mission is to fight for air supremacy in Jiangbei and act independently!"
"Beautiful, no movement for a few days, and now here comes a big one!"
"Report, Jinan 1st Air Attack Group called and said they will fly over the war zone frequently starting tomorrow. We hope our anti-aircraft artillery units can do a good job of identifying friend or foe!"
"Haha, it seems that they themselves don't know the results of their battle, so let us tell them!"
"Have all the troops entered their attack positions?"
“Already arrived!”
"With the help of the air force, we are more confident this time. I think we can close the net now. Order the 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th columns, the special column, and the 1st battle group to launch an attack early tomorrow morning to encircle and annihilate Huang Baitao's corps."
"Yes!"
Jinan Airport,
The cafeteria was bustling with activity.
We have an extra meal tonight, and every table will have six dishes and one soup!
The theme of the evening is to celebrate the great victory.
Shen Hui picked up the cup and said loudly,
"Comrades, everyone, be quiet!"
The whole place quickly fell silent.
Shen Hui's face was filled with joy.
"I have good news for you all. Today our 1st Air Attack Group also carried out an air raid on the Beiping Airport and shot down more than enemy planes!"
There was thunderous applause! Everyone raised their cups.
"Today, we will drink juice instead of wine to celebrate our air force's great victory!"
"Long live the Air Force!"
"Long live the No. 1 air attack group!"
Looking at the cheering pilots, Shen Hui's eyes became moist. He was a student of the first class of Tonghe Aviation School!
The survival rate of the first batch of students was only 5%.
The survival rate of the second batch of students was 12%.
By today's third and fourth period, the Air Force has finally become a force to be reckoned with! The casualty rate has dropped significantly!
It is a pity that those comrades who sacrificed their lives will never see the scene of victory again!
A young student came over excitedly, holding a cup, and said curiously,
"Captain, why are you crying?"
This student is from the fourth class, he is only 19 years old this year, his name is Zhang Li. In fact, more than 90% of the pilots in the aviation school are young people selected from various military units, with a certain cultural foundation, at least elementary school graduates! The average age is less than 20 years old!
The older ones basically all worked as ground crew, because pilots have very high physical requirements and must not have hidden diseases. Starting from the third batch of trainees, Yin Xinjun also specially added a rule that smoking and drinking are not allowed! This eliminated many veterans!
"It's okay, Zhang Li, you did a great job today!" Shen Hui smiled and raised his glass.
"Captain, today's fighting was so exciting! I used up all my bullets! I saw people kneeling on the ground surrendering!" Zhang Li's face flushed with excitement. He was the belly machine gunner of the bomber, which was also the most dangerous position!
"Haha, work hard! The sky is yours!" Patting Zhang Li's shoulder, Shen Hui drank it all in one gulp!
Dalian,
Build a new arsenal,
A convoy of several jeeps drove slowly over.
Standing at the door were Zhu Run, general manager of Dalian Jianxin Company, and others!
The car door opens,
Yin Xinjun jumped out of the car.
This is the first time he has come to the Dalian Arsenal since he took charge of the Northeast Military Industry Group!
Zhu Run is tall and straight, about 1.8 meters tall, giving people a sense of stability and reliability. His face is square, with firm lines, and under his broad forehead, a pair of thick eyebrows are like swords, showing firmness and courage.
The two looked at each other, and soon stretched out their right hands at the same time.
"Hello, Commander Yin!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhu!"
When Zhu Run’s Dalian Jianxin Company was first established, it included six factories left behind by the Japanese: an artillery factory, a fuse factory, a steel plant, a chemical plant, a machinery plant, and a canning plant!
"Commander Yin, thank you for the batch of machine tools sent by Mulan Special Zone. We have received all 1743 of them! With these machine tools, our production speed has reached a new level!" Zhu Run said excitedly.
Since the liberation of Shenyang, trains can go directly to Dalian. There is a freight train arriving in Dalian every day from Mulan Special District, carrying steel, alloy materials, airports and other production materials urgently needed by Dalian Arsenal!
Yin Xinjun said,
"Boss Zhu, according to your request, we have prepared a total of 2000 machine tools for the Dalian Arsenal. All the goods will be delivered this month!"
As they chatted, they came to the busiest workshop in the artillery factory.
When you step into the workshop, you will see brand new machine tools neatly arranged, shining with the cool luster of metal under the bright lights. The roar of the machines is intertwined, playing an exciting industrial movement.
Workers in uniforms shuttled busily between machine tools, controlling every movement of the machine tools. When the cutting tool came into contact with the metal material, dazzling sparks flew instantly, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, short but dazzling.
Zhu Run was also deeply moved. After the first batch of machine tools were installed and tested, they were found to be more than one level higher in accuracy and efficiency than the previous Japanese machine tools. This shocked him secretly! He simply replaced all the old machine tools!
"Commander Yin, after the artillery factory replaced the old machine tools with 360 new ones, the daily output has increased by 40%, and the scrap rate has dropped by half!"
Yin Xinjun was secretly proud of himself. The machine tools produced by his space were currently the best in the world. He was now planning to replace all the old machine tools at the Mulan Arsenal in batches within half a year!
"Mr. Zhu, I didn't expect that your Dalian's industrial foundation is so strong!"
"Haha, the Russians demolished all the factories at that time, leaving only Dalian. Maybe they wanted to operate here for a long time, and finally after negotiations, they returned all to us!"
