Devil's Army

Leng Feng asked Engineer Li next to him: "With these Type 2 tanks as samples, can we imitate and manufacture them ourselves?"

Engineer Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We can make other parts and equipment, but we probably can't make engines and main bearings."

Leng Feng nodded thoughtfully and said, "I should ask them to send a batch of engines and main bearings over."

"But it doesn't matter, Engineer Li. You should first ask the arsenal to produce a batch of 20mm shells for the tanks. After the Chinese New Year, I will buy a batch of tank engines from them."

Li Gong was in a hurry to go back to the arsenal to ask the workers to produce 20mm tank shells, but Leng Feng had to stay in Huludao to accompany Captain Joseph. Leng Feng could only ask the guards to send Li Gong back to the tribe first.

Instructor Luo was still teaching two classes of air force cadets in the tribe. Yin Fuqiang also returned to Hangzhou, but things were not going well.

Seeing that Luo Jiaolan had not returned to school since leaving, the military representative stationed at the Jiangqiao Aviation School was afraid that Yin Fuqiang would also suddenly leave school, so he restricted Yin Fuqiang from going out.

It was difficult for Yin Fuqiang to take his family away, let alone persuade his two colleagues to follow him to teach at the Air Force School in the Oroqen tribe.

With nowhere else to go, Yin Fuqiang thought of his teacher, Principal Dong, who is now the principal of Jiangqiao Aviation School.

He went to the pub outside to buy some wine and food to visit his teacher, Principal Dong.

As they drank, Yin Fuqiang talked about drones, air-to-ground missiles, thermal imaging guidance, laser guidance, supersonic aircraft...

These were all new things that Mr. Dong had never heard of. Mr. Dong felt that he was a little out of touch with the world. He felt that the hope of the Chinese nation lay in the First Anti-Japanese Army of the Oroqen Tribe that Yin Fuqiang had mentioned.

At this time, Yin Fuqiang asked for help from Mr. Dong in time. He said that the tribe currently had advanced theories and ideas, but was extremely short of talent. He wanted to bring two aviation school instructors to the tribe to train future pilots for the First Anti-Japanese Army when he returned this time.

Yin Fuqiang also told Mr. Dong that he believed that the fighter planes developed by the First Anti-Japanese Army would be far ahead of the Japanese fighter planes. If, as Commander Leng said, we had a full-scale war with the Japanese, our air force would be able to crush the Japanese air force.

After hearing this, Mr. Dong said to Yin Fuqiang with great enthusiasm: "My son, I will try my best to get you to leave. My biggest wish is to see our aircraft that is ahead of the Japanese can really be successfully manufactured, so that we will no longer be bullied by the Japanese air force."

The next day, Principal Dong went to negotiate with the military representatives stationed at the Aviation School, asking them to let Yin Fuqiang and his men leave.

However, the military representative stationed at the aviation school still insisted that Yin Fuqiang and his men would most likely leave the aviation school and never return.

Principal Dong guaranteed with his own heart that Yin Fuqiang and his classmates would return to Jiangqiao Aviation School after they had learned enough.

In view of Mr. Dong's reputation, the military representative stationed at the aviation school finally agreed to let Yin Fuqiang and two other teachers temporarily leave the Jianqiao Aviation School to study outside, but they did not allow their families to leave with them.

Yin Fuqiang had no choice but to leave Jiangqiao Aviation School and come to the Oroqen tribe with teachers Chen Shuhui and He Baoguo.

The night Yin Fuqiang and his team returned to the tribe, Luo Jiaofeng, Xu Zhiwei, Luo Technician and Wen Lang gathered together in the arsenal dormitory. Yin Fuqiang felt very guilty for not being able to bring their relatives to the tribe.

Wen Lang consoled him, "At present, Jianqiao Aviation School is still in the Kuomintang-controlled area, so it is relatively safe. And with Principal Dong watching over it, there shouldn't be any problems. If necessary, the First Army can send someone to bring everyone's family over."

Everyone believes that at present both the teaching tasks of the Air Force Academy and the research tasks of the Research Department are very heavy, and there is no need to spend time and energy to pick up family members who are still in the rear.

Time passed quickly in everyone's busyness, and in the blink of an eye it was January 1935, 31, and there were only three days left until New Year's Eve. The tribe began to present a fiery and festive atmosphere.

Two rows of big red flags were planted on both sides of the main road of the tribe. Many people in the tribe had already posted Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters on their doors.

The glass factory and pharmaceutical factory have already closed for the holiday, and the women are busy cleaning up to welcome the New Year.

The arsenal in the tribe and the arsenal in the tunnels had not closed yet. Workers were busy turning the explosive raw materials brought in by the Rhine freighter into bullets and shells.

Although there are occasional minor conflicts between the Japanese and the First Anti-Japanese Army around the base area, no major battles have occurred. However, the arsenal must prevent the Japanese from launching a sudden attack on the base area, so it must seize the time and produce as much ammunition as possible.

The arsenal in the tribe still focuses on the production of drones and air-to-ground missiles.

The Air Force Academy was still taking advantage of the time to hold classes. They were the first generation of pilots in the First Army.

There were still two years until 1937, and Leng Feng wanted his air force to mature overnight. The instructors compressed the three-year course for pilots into two years, so they planned to teach until New Year's Eve.

The research department has already started manufacturing parts for trainer aircraft, bombers and fighters, and will start assembling finished aircraft after the engines, instruments and landing wheels are delivered after the new year.

Everyone is preparing for a total war in the future!
