Chapter 106 Undercurrent
Originally, the Japanese should have tuned artillery to destroy the firepower of the heavy machine guns on the position, but today the artillery was bombed twice by the plane, and the remaining artillery was counterattacked twice by the opponent's artillery. The Japanese wished to find a hole to provide for the remaining artillery. Even if all the remaining artillery and shells were concentrated to destroy the opponent's heavy firepower, what should I do when siegeing the city? The Japanese usually siege some walls will collapse to attack instead of carrying a heavy ladder. This is just the first line of defense on the periphery.
The exchange of heavy machine guns between the two sides continued until the evening. The ** company fired large flares to illuminate the Japanese battlefield. The light of the tens of thousands of Kongming lanterns that Wang Mingzhang and others had already prepared were lost.
In the end, Yanagawa Heisuke, with unwillingness to regret, he asked the First Division to withdraw.
After the Japanese retreated, Tang Ying and several staff members bowed to the artillery soldiers of the ** Company one by one: "Thank you for your artillery support, thank you. Mr. Tang and the 136th Division are very grateful."
Tang Ying also knew that without these artillery, he could not suppress the Japanese heavy machine guns and artillery without these artillery soldiers, the 136th Division and the platoon-level 60th mortars, without these artillery soldiers who came a few days ago and the planes sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking.
Wang Mingzhang, who had repelled the Japanese attacks three times, immediately generated electricity to Peking. The 41st Army on the front line of Chengde defeated the Japanese attacks three times with the support of air artillery. The Japanese corpses were everywhere and were killed or injured. The outer positions were still in the hands of our 41st Army.
After receiving a call from Chengde, everyone in the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking was also happy. Song Ziwen said: "It's really hard for this Wang Mingzhang to fight a bad war as soon as he left Sichuan, but the position was not lost. It's not in vain that I sent a plane to support him."
Sun Liren said: "According to the pilot report, the Japanese's air defense ability is - a person in front holding a tripod with a crooked handle, and the machine gunners behind him shoot. There are no professional air defense guns. It is better to let the students and soldiers of the Air Division fight instead of training, and it is also good to harass the bombs and practice taking off and landing several times a day."
In the past, the central government was nervous about both aircraft and pilots. In the past two years, I have bought a large number of aircraft and although I have trained a group of pilots and poached the support of the Northeast Army's Air Force and Northeast Aviation School, the number of pilots still cannot keep up with the increase in the number of aircraft. I believe that if the headlines of the victory of the Sky Battle will be released tomorrow, the people will set off a wave of donating money to buy aircraft.
Aircraft trading is the second largest source of wealth for the Nanjing government in peacetime, except for warships. There are fewer countries that can build warships, and even fewer countries that can build aircraft. However, the role of aircraft in modern warfare cannot be ignored. It can detect, bomb, strafuse ground targets, scramble for artillery fire, and even serve as a deterrent force for land countries. For example, the Afghan people do not know what warships are and what to use for.
The Nanjing government often buys aircraft from the Nanyang military industry for 100,000 oceans, and sells them for 200,000 and 300,000 oceans, and then uses the money to sell aircraft to continue to buy aircraft from the Nanyang military industry. Now the thousands of aircraft controlled by the central government are probably saved in this way, otherwise these more than 2,000 aircraft will not be able to bear the current central government. However, it is different if more than a dozen countries have joined together to send blood to the Nanjing government.
In a sense, the 33rd year was a turning point for the ancient country of China. From this year on, China transformed from a major arms importer to a major arms exporter. In two years, it deployed ships and thousands of aircraft with displacement of more than 300,000 tons to the market. The amount of artillery tanks and submachine guns in the arms market is not small, but the profit is ultimately not as good as warships and aircraft.
The basket of the international arms market is so large, and its share has long been divided by the old European and American powers. In a sense, the high profits obtained by the Nanjing government were taken from the old European and American powers, which is more than a thousand times more dangerous than snatching food from the tiger's mouth. What made the European and American powers even more cursed was the German standards sold by Nanjing. The Hans who promoted the German standards were of course very happy, but countries that purchased arms often agree to adapt to the German standards, which made European and American arms giants very troubled.
If the other party is an arms company, even if you hire killers and bomb madmen from all over the world, European and American arms companies will blow up all the company. However, this illusory Nanyang military industry has never had a warship coming from Nanyang with weapons. After observing for a while, European and American arms companies determined that Nanyang military industry was a cover. Although I don’t know how the Nanjing government did it, it is definitely a government subsidiary company to be able to get goods at such a cheap price below the cost.
After all, the Japanese navy and army attacks were the arms companies behind these European and American powers. As a business, arms are one of the most profitable in the world. If the British Empire had not opened up its sales in the warship market, it is probably still selling longevity cream in the colonies of third world countries.
Of course, as the most profitable business, the competition is extremely fierce and cruel. Without background and backend, it cannot be built into a large arms company. It was blown up before it even started. Rockefeller often uses this trick to monopolize oil. You have an oil well worth ten million US dollars. Very good. I decided to buy it for one million US dollars. What, you don’t agree, okay, wait for the anger of our Rockefeller family. The oil well will be blown up in a few days, and the owner of the oil well will lose all his money and eventually go bankrupt. The oil field will be photographed by Rockefeller. After a few round trips, no one will sell the oil well that Rockefeller Oil Company likes to them.
However, it is not realistic to send a blond and blue-eyed foreign killer to China to find this arms company. Foreigners will be watched wherever they go in this old continental country - the more remote the place is, the more they are. But I have never heard that the production line of the arms company will be built in the center of the bustling city. In this way, it would be better to let the Japanese troops go on the road.
This is also the reason why Jin Batian didn't stand in the front desk even if he was killed. He was exposed to the sight of European and American arms companies and committed suicide. Even if he organized a small force himself, he could not stop these arms giants who could manipulate national policies. Now Jin Batian and Nanjing seem to have a close cooperation, but if there are enough benefits one day - for example, billions of dollars in free arms, Principal Jiang from Nanjing would also be unable to help send the detailed address of the Nanyang military industry to the desk of the great powers' arms companies.
The reason why Principal Jiang has not sold Jin Batian and Nanyang Military Industry is that he really doesn’t know the address of Nanyang Military Industry. Second, Jin Batian’s identity is just the eldest master of Nanyang Military Industry. These days, no one has given birth to a child, and there is no TV or radio at night, especially in winter, everyone can work hard to make children. Therefore, seven or eight brothers and sisters in a family are also normal in society.
For his own safety, Jin Batian made up six younger brothers, one sister and three sisters. He often went around the battlefield and told everyone that he was not afraid of death, and that there were so many younger brothers and sisters. In this way, Nanjing not only did not dare to send Jin Batian out, but also strengthened its protection for Jin Batian. What if the main person broke the Nanyang military industry line and broke it. Now this line is the largest source of wealth for the national treasury to exceed the salt tax revenue. Not to mention that Nanyang military industry has the ability to break through foreign blockades and even send arms during the war.
What reassures Jin Batian is that as the cooperation deepens, the price of being sold will become higher and higher until the old European and American arms companies can't afford it.
