Devil's Army

The next morning, Gray Wolf went to the tailor shop in Tieling County on his way back to the tribe and bought cheongsams for Li Hongmei and Wu Shuhua. Then he rushed to the research department of the tribe without stopping. He was very eager to learn about the research progress of air-to-ground missiles and drones.

When he arrived at the research department, Professor Xu no longer studied air-to-ground missiles, but instead started researching drones with Professor Qian and others.

"Professor Xu, how far has the air-to-ground missile progressed now?" Gray Wolf asked Professor Xu.

"The air-to-ground missile has been finalized. Three engines have already produced three air-to-ground missiles. We also manufactured 20 engines and handed them over to Engineer Li. They should be stepping up the production of air-to-ground missiles now." Professor Xu replied to Gray Wolf with a smile.

"Professor Qian, what is the current progress of the drone?"

"The drone has been finalized and has also been tested for flight. Once the aiming system is modified, it will probably be ready for production soon."

"That's great, can I take the golden eagle away?" the gray wolf asked happily.

"Why are you so anxious?" Professor Qian put down the work in his hands and asked Gray Wolf with a smile.

"We recaptured Jianchang County some time ago and fought against the Japanese North China Front Army. I am worried that they will join forces with the Japanese Navy to attack our Huludao. With the current strength of our Huludao Navy, we have no power to fight back. If Golden Eagles and air-to-ground missiles can be stationed in Huludao, we may still be able to win with the dimensionality reduction strikes of these cross-generation weapons such as air-to-ground missiles and drones."

At this time, Professor Qian and his colleagues deeply felt the weight of the burden on their shoulders.

Their research on drones and air-to-ground missiles is no longer just a cutting-edge scientific research issue, but a matter of life and death for the Huludao base.

They did not speak to the gray wolf again, but continued to devote themselves to research and calculations.

Gray Wolf also tactfully left the research department quietly and came to Engineer Li's arsenal.

Entering the arsenal next to the glass factory, Engineer Li and the technicians were indeed stepping up the production of air-to-ground missiles. There was also a pile of finished engines placed next to the production workshop.

When Engineer Li saw Gray Wolf come in, he nodded to him as a greeting, and then continued with his work.

"Engineer Li, Professor Xu said that there are already three air-to-ground missiles that can be put into practical use, is that true?" Gray Wolf walked up to Engineer Li and asked.

"More than three, now there are six that can be put into use." Engineer Li brought Gray Wolf to a pile of items covered with cloth, and suddenly lifted the cloth. Six air-to-ground missiles were placed in front of Gray Wolf and Engineer Li.

Engineer Li caressed these air-to-ground missiles gently as if they were his own children. These were treasures that had been produced by so many people in their research institute after months of hard work.

"Engineer Li, I want to deploy these air-to-ground missiles to Huludao. Do you have any objection?"

"It's okay. They have their own mission when they are produced. You go and make preparations. I will stay with them for a while." Engineer Li said reluctantly.

Two guards went to the research department to fly the golden eagle back to the arsenal, and then hung four air-to-ground missiles on the launcher on the left side of the golden eagle's abdomen. The other two air-to-ground missiles and the remaining two air-to-air missiles of the golden eagle were placed in the golden eagle's abdomen.

Gray Wolf ordered a team of guards to take the golden eagle and two sets of cheongsam to the special forces camp and hand them over to Jackal. He went to the operations room to find Leng Feng.

The two of them haven't seen each other for some time.

When they arrived at the operations room, Leng Feng handed two telegrams to Gray Wolf.

Both telegrams were forwarded by Secretary Li in Harbin. One was sent by the underground party in Jinzhou. It said that the Jinzhou Navy was now commanded by Colonel Maeda, and that warships were frequently traveling back and forth. They were also constantly collecting supplies, and it was estimated that there would be action in the short term.

The other letter was from the underground party in Rehe. Major General Hattori in Rehe was preparing supplies and mobilizing troops. He was afraid that he would avenge the capture of Jianchang County.

"Are the Japanese North China Front Army and Navy preparing to launch an attack on us together?" asked Gray Wolf.

"It's entirely possible, but I think it will take the Jinzhou devils a little longer to prepare. Last time you messed around at the Jinzhou Naval Base and the Naval Club, the Jinzhou devils suffered heavy casualties in the navy. Now they are transferring people from the Navy Department to make a major change, but it will take some time to form combat effectiveness."

"Do you think the Japs in Rehe will act first?"

"It's very likely! We originally only had one battalion stationed in Jianchang County and its vicinity. The Japanese haven't taken action yet probably because Major General Hattori is not familiar with us. Now that he has figured us out, it's time for him to take action."

"We have secretly deployed the 5th Brigade and two anti-aircraft artillery companies there. Do we need more troops?" asked Gray Wolf.

"It shouldn't be necessary. The Japanese in Jianchang County are unlikely to send a division to fight for us. Besides, this is our first battle with Major General Hattori. Given his cautious character, we should mainly conduct exploratory attacks."

"I will forward this telegram to the commander of the Fifth Brigade and ask him to be on high alert."

"I asked the signalman to forward it before you came over."

"Engineer Li's air-to-ground missiles have already started production. I just asked someone to send the Golden Eagle and six air-to-ground missiles to Huludao."

"Okay, just arrange these things. Let's go to the tribe and don't think about these depressing things for now." After Leng Feng finished speaking, he pulled Gray Wolf out of the operations room.
