Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

After the Spring Festival, in order to support the troops in South Manchuria, the main force of the North Manchuria East Alliance crossed the Songhua River for the second time, and they aimed their attack at Dehui!

Dehui is located 75 kilometers north of Changchun and 35 kilometers south of the Songhua River. At that time, it was the Kuomintang’s forward base in northern Manchuria and the main barrier to the north of Changchun.

To attack Dehui, the first thing we need to do is to eliminate Chengzi Street to its east!

Chengzijie is a market town near the south bank of the Songhua River in Jiutai County, Jilin Province. The defending enemy was the 1th Regiment of the 30th Division of the New 89st Army, and there were strong defensive fortifications built around the town.

On the outer positions,

Guo Qiang, the head of the 6th Regiment of the 18th Division of the 54th Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, held up a telescope.

As a green signal flare soared into the sky, dozens of cannons roared in unison. In an instant, the ground shook, rubble flew everywhere in Chengzi Street, and more than a dozen enemy bunkers were destroyed. Subsequently, with the coordination of infantry and artillery, artillery fire continued to extend deep into the enemy's territory, and the Kuomintang defenders retreated step by step and were completely defeated.

Political Commissar Ji Yuan said enviously,

"Captain, this battle is too easy for the 17th Division. The 2nd Artillery Regiment of the Headquarters has brought in 36 mountain and field artillery pieces. The enemy only has one regiment defending, but we have six regiments this time!"

Chief of Staff Lin Tao also said sourly,

"Their 17th Division is the main attacking force, and our 18th Division is the reserve force. Come on, come and have a cigarette." The 16th Column has three divisions, the 17th and 18th Divisions are the main forces, and the th Division was reorganized from the local forces!

Lin Tao took out a pack of Victory brand cigarettes with the words "Mulan Cigarette Factory" written on them. Since the Spring Festival this year, this type of cigarette has been officially supplied to the various units of the Democratic Alliance!

Although the supply is not large, every ordinary soldier can get at least one pack of cigarettes per week, and regimental-level cadres like Lin Tao can get three packs!

The shelling soon ended, and the soldiers of the 17th Division rushed towards the town.

A bunker in front suddenly began to spew out fire snakes, and bullets flew towards the charging soldiers, who fell down one by one!

at this time,

On the smoke-filled battlefield, a brave soldier was running forward, holding a strange weapon in his hand. One end of the weapon was thick and the other was a thin tube.

He crouched, moving quickly under the cover of the bunker, looking for the best attacking position. Sweat dripped from his forehead and fell into the dust, but his eyes never wavered.

When he finally reached the ideal shooting point, the soldier took a deep breath, steadied himself, and shouldered the weapon in his hand. His fingers tightly gripped the trigger, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, as if he was accumulating infinite power.

Following the order, the soldier decisively pulled the trigger. In an instant, a rocket whizzed out of his hand, emitting a dazzling tail flame, like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky and headed straight for the bunker.

There was a loud bang, and the bunker was instantly covered by flames and thick smoke. Gravel, dust and debris flew everywhere, and the entire ground was shaking under the huge impact.

The defending regiment seemed to have been frightened by the artillery bombardment. They only put up some symbolic resistance and then surrendered!

Sixth Column Front Command,

Commander Hong of the Sixth Column was dumbfounded when he saw the telegram.

"What's going on? Why did the Changchun reinforcements retreat?"

The column chief of staff next to him said,

"The 71th Division of the enemy's 88st Army set out from Changchun to reinforce. After Chengzijie was captured, the defending enemy probably sent a telegram to the 88th Division, and the 88th Division hastily withdrew to Changchun.

What was even more incredible was that the enemy troops in Jiutai and Nong'an not only did not come to rescue, but also abandoned the city and fled back to Changchun, leaving our 16th Division and the 2nd Independent Division waiting in vain!

I guess it’s because during the last crossing of the river, the enemy was frightened by our encirclement and attack on the reinforcements!”

"I think the Kuomintang army is just a paper tiger. They attacked fiercely in the beginning, but they have no stamina after reaching Changchun!"

"The 17th Division, which is the main force of the column, has been reinforced with a batch of newly arrived Iron Fist rocket launchers. With the help of the Second Artillery Regiment from the headquarters, it will be strange if the enemy is not defeated!"

"Alas, I made such a big scene just to get a few pieces of meat, but I didn't expect to get nothing again!"

Several people in the command center were talking about it, with great melancholy in their tone!

In the Mulan Arsenal,

Electronic components workshop,

There are dozens of wooden workbenches.

The light was dim, and the shadows on the wall flickered with the busy figures of the workers. The workers looked serious and focused, and they knew the importance of their work to the war.

A burly middle-aged worker, with beads of sweat on his forehead, skillfully operates the machine tool, cutting metal materials into precise shapes. The roar of the machine cannot cover up his heavy breathing.

Several young workers nearby were winding the coils in a tense and orderly manner! Their fingers moved quickly and accurately, and their eyes revealed firmness and determination.

A gray-haired master craftsman, holding a magnifying glass, carefully examines the circuit that has just been soldered, not missing any tiny flaws. His eyes are full of rigor and responsibility.

In the corner, a female worker was concentrating on polishing the contacts with fine sandpaper, striving to make the surface smooth and flat to ensure good contact performance.

They are carefully manufacturing relays according to the drawings. Relays are used to control the on and off of circuits and are also electronic components that are frequently used in cars, airplanes and even many large equipment!

In the past, even during the period of Marshal Zhang, the Fengtian Arsenal was able to produce cars on its own, but they only made a shell, and many key things had to be imported!

But Yin Xinjun is different this time. He requires 100% self-production. Although it is just a clone, it is still made by our Chinese workers with their own hands after all!

Zhao Taihua stood at the door of the workshop and had a brief conversation with the workers. A look of joy appeared on his face. Hundreds of automotive relays had been manufactured and had been tested to fully meet the requirements!

He is now almost full of admiration for Yin Xinjun. In just half a month, the three major component workshops of capacitors, resistors and relays have been put into production one after another. This time, Yin Xinjun not only took out the drawings, but also led everyone to work together step by step!

The electrical components these workers are now making can be used not only in tanks, but also in airplanes!

During the period after the Spring Festival, Yin Xinjun spent almost 24 hours a day in the arsenal. The manufacture of tanks and aircraft involved too many parts, and most of the time, he personally demonstrated the production!

He taught while working, and fortunately he only needed to rest for half an hour every day, so he could rotate from one workshop to another!

At this time, he was in the factory director's office, reading a telegram sent from the East Union headquarters.

"Because the Harbin Power Plant was bombed by the Kuomintang Air Force, two thermal power generating units were damaged. Does the Mulan Special Zone have any extra generating units to deploy?"

There are no extra units. All 13 units of different sizes in the space have been used. Several counties in the Mulan Special Zone are not enough.

In order to improve efficiency, Yin Xinjun arranged for the power department to carry out construction and began to connect the power grids of the four counties together!

Although he no longer had the unit, he did have a complete set of drawings, which he had drawn long ago. Since he was lacking this, he might as well make one himself!

Yin Xinjun was so busy because of many temporary manufacturing tasks, most of which were transferred from the Supply and Marketing Bureau! Another small part was arranged by the headquarters!

On the spacious weapons testing ground, under bright lights, a group of focused workers are surrounding a brand new Panzerfaust rocket launcher, preparing for a test firing.

They were wearing professional protective gear, their eyes revealing rigor and expectation. One of the experienced workers, holding a recording board, carefully checked the data. Another worker carefully carried a rocket launcher, and every movement was precise and steady.

Following the command of the commander, the worker in charge of launching the rocket decisively pulled the trigger. In an instant, the rocket launcher ejected a powerful airflow and dazzling flames, and the rocket flew out with a whistling sound, accompanied by a deafening roar, like a flash of lightning across the sky.

With a loud bang, an abandoned truck was blown to pieces 100 meters away. Applause rang out all around. The rocket launcher was successfully made!

The workers closely watched the flight trajectory of the rocket and recorded various parameters. Their expressions were tense and focused. They did not miss any subtle changes and collected valuable data for subsequent improvements and optimizations.

Yin Xinjun had two types of rocket launchers in his hands, the Panzerfaust and the Bazooka. Based on the feedback from the front line and comparing their pros and cons, he chose the Panzerfaust, which has a range of 100 meters and can penetrate 200 mm armor.

Not only does it have strong armor-piercing ability, its armor-piercing thickness is more than double that of the bazooka. And the iron fist is a disposable weapon, you can throw it away after hitting it, so it is easy to carry!

This thing is not only useful for attacking tanks, but also very effective against enemy bunkers. The manufacturing process is also very simple. Yin Xinjun decided to make the Iron Fist rocket launcher the standard weapon of the troops and start to supply it steadily!
