Devil's Army

All intellectuals have one characteristic, which is that they have a strong interest in things they don't understand. Professor Xu was no exception. He stopped eating after two mouthfuls and continued to listen to Jackal's introduction.

Jackal told Professor Xu: "It is really difficult to aim manually when shooting down a high-speed moving target like an airplane. Our weapons now have two guidance modes. One is the thermal imaging guidance mode, which means that after the missile is launched, its warhead can automatically search for the heat source emitted by the aircraft engine, and then automatically track it continuously until the aircraft is destroyed."

Professor Xu's curiosity was completely aroused by the jackal. This kind of fantastic yet seemingly feasible guidance mode was really unheard of.

"Is there another guidance mode?" Professor Xu asked as soon as Jackal stopped talking.

"Another guidance mode is laser guidance. Our aircraft has a laser transmitter and the missile has a photoelectric detector. When the laser on the aircraft points at the enemy tank or warship, the photoelectric detector on the missile will receive the laser reflected back by the enemy tank or warship, and thus keep tracking the moving tank or warship until it is blown up."

"Captain Zhang, what you said sounds like a science fiction novel or the future. Do you really have such weapons now?"

"Lies cannot stand up to scrutiny from facts. If I were telling a lie, wouldn't it be exposed immediately when you arrived at our unit? We are almost out of this type of weapon, so we would like to ask you, the experts in electronic physics, to come over and help us copy a batch of these weapons."

"I left a letter for Professor Hong, who has great attainments in physics. He is definitely interested in these things. If he comes back from his business trip and sees my letter, he will probably come over."

"So, Professor Xu, you agree to go to our army and help us?"

"It's not all to help you. You have so many new things that we have never heard of. If I can understand them all, or even develop them myself, then my life will not be in vain."

"Then Professor Xu, when can we go together?" the Jackal asked immediately.

"I'll go back to school and ask if Professor Hong will be back in the next day or two. If he does, I'll ask for his opinion. It would be best if I could go to your base with him."

"Okay, Professor Xu, go to school after dinner and ask. I'll come find you in the evening."

The Jackal was very happy that the mission could be completed so quickly.

Since he had successfully persuaded Professor Xu, Wang Guoqiang was no longer so eager to find students in electronic physics. The focus of his work shifted to introducing the First Army's base and the army's recruitment policy.

The classmates were naturally very happy to see Wei Ke and Wang Guoqiang who had been away for nearly half a year.

Everyone gathered on a lawn next to the artificial lake at Yenching University and listened to Wei Ke and Wang Guoqiang talk about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Northeast China. They were filled with indignation and were eager to fight together.

When I heard about the comfortable and peaceful life of the residents in the base, I couldn't help but envy them.

At that time, many classmates wanted to go back to the base with Wei Ke and others to join the army and fight the Japanese.

Wei Ke asked Li Hongmei: "Can you bring classmates who want to join the army back to the base?"

Li Hongmei thought for a moment and said, "We are here for a mission, and I don't think the captain will agree to let us take the students back to the base. So, you choose a representative to organize the students, and then you can take a carriage to our base, and we will leave some money for you as expenses."

A classmate named Dong Zhiyong agreed with Li Hongmei's point of view. He thought that it was too hasty to go now, and there were not many classmates who could go together. It would be better to prepare more in a while and contact more classmates to go together. However, he was unwilling to use Li Hongmei's money as funding, and they had to raise funds themselves.

At this time, Wei Ke had collected all the money from the three of them and handed it to Li Hongmei.

Li Hongmei handed the money to Dong Zhiyong and said to him, "You are still studying in school and have no income. We don't spend much money in the army, and we get an allowance every month. This money is not much, you can take it first, you will have to hire a carriage, and you will have to pay for food and accommodation on the road.

Dong Zhiyong did not refuse anymore. They really did not have the ability to make money at the moment.

In the evening, Jackal went to Professor Xu's office again.

Professor Xu and Jackal came to an empty booth in front of the office.

Professor Xu whispered to Jackal, "Professor Hong was on a business trip two days ago, so he probably won't be back soon. And we can't contact him right now. I've left him a letter, and he will try to contact us."

The Jackal nodded but said nothing. This was indeed a bit of a pity.

Then Professor Xu told Jackal that he had already called several of his capable students and five of them were willing to go with him. He would hand over the work at hand first and then set out in three days to return to the base with Jackal and the others.
