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

background:

After the third battle, the Volunteer Army occupied Seoul and approached the 38th parallel!

Since the U.S. military suffered little losses in the third battle, most of the losses were suffered by the South Korean, British and Australian troops. After gaining a clear advantage in the Air Force, Ridgway assembled 30 UN troops and began to counterattack. He adopted the tactic of advancing in unison and ordered the troops not to rely on roads, but to fight for every hill and push north in a straight line!

This time, the Volunteer Army adopted the tactic of Tian Ji's horse racing, attacking the east and surging the west, concentrating its main forces on the eastern front to annihilate the enemy, and on the western front, setting up a defense line on the south bank of the Han River, with the 38th Division of the 112th Army guarding Taihua Mountain and the area to the east, and the 50th Army guarding Xiushi Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, and Wenheng Mountain from west to east!

On a cold winter night, everything was silent, and the south bank of the Han River seemed to be swallowed up by a force of death and darkness.

There was no sign of life here, only the embers of war flickered slightly in the night wind, emitting a faint light. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which made people feel pungent and suffocated.

On a mountain path, the moonlight was like silver, sprinkling on this land ravaged by war.

However, the silvery moonlight could not hide the tragic scene after the bombing by the US military. On the road, huge craters were like hideous wounds, scattered irregularly, some of which were so deep that they seemed to be able to swallow a jeep.

The land around these craters was turned up, revealing black soil and shattered rocks, as if the earth was groaning in pain.

On the mountain road, the engineers started their intense nighttime construction.

Dump trucks brought in loads of gravel and dumped them into a small pile.

Several excavators waved their buckets, took buckets of stones from the gravel pile, and poured them into the crater. After leveling it, the road roller followed up to crush it!

A few hundred meters away from the construction site,

A long convoy was waiting anxiously on the roadside.

Kang Huaifu paced back and forth, sighing constantly.

The US military dispatched more than 1000 aircraft every day to carry out indiscriminate bombing on the main transportation routes on both sides of the Han River.

The volunteer army's engineering corps is repairing the road without stopping for a moment!

Sometimes, after finally repairing the road, the convoy can only pass slowly for 2-3 hours. When daybreak comes, the convoy has to remain hidden again!

"Old Peng, the headquarters requires us to reach the front line of Wenheng Mountain tonight. It's still ten kilometers away. I will lead the 1st and 2nd Battalions to set off lightly, and you will lead the rest of the troops to follow!" Kang Huaifu said to Peng Yuan.

"Brigade Commander, let me go, you stay and take overall command!" Deputy Political Commissar Sun Wei stepped forward and said!

The current situation is very bad. After the US military gained air superiority, the counterattack was very fierce and rapid. Only the 50th Army and the 38th Army were defending the south bank of the Han River! After several days of bloody battles, the troops suffered heavy losses, so the Zhisi urgently dispatched the 1st Independent Brigade to reinforce.

A low, suppressed engine sound came.

I saw a few trucks approaching slowly.

The car body was covered with thick dust, and it seemed to blend into this land baptized by war.

Peng Yuan said in surprise,

"The road has been repaired, let's set off quickly, we still need to pull the equipment over!"

They have become accustomed to relying on heavy equipment in combat!

As the truck slowly approached,

Under the illumination of several flashlights,

Kang Huaifu and others saw the scene in the car clearly, and shock and sadness instantly gripped their hearts.

The truck jolted violently with every step it took. As the truck body rose and fell, blood oozed out from the gaps between the wooden boards on both sides of the truck, forming thin blood lines.

The carriages were filled with the bodies of the volunteers, their faces blackened by the flames of war, some were unrecognizable, their cotton-padded clothes were riddled with holes, revealing the cotton wool stained red with blood.

Kang Huaifu rushed over, knocked on the car door, and yelled at the driver,

"What's happening here?"

The driver rolled down the window. His face was covered in dust, his eyes were tired, and his eyelids drooped slightly, but deep in his eyes, there was still tenacity and indomitable spirit.

"Comrade, the enemy's firepower is too strong, but our 50th Army has not retreated a single step!"

Kang Huaifu and others had sorrow written all over their faces, with tears welling up in their eyes. They slowly raised their hands and solemnly saluted the sacrificed soldiers. Their arms did not fall down for a long time, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The entire reinforcement force fell into silence, with only the cold wind howling, as if crying for these heroes!

Mulan Arsenal,

Aircraft engine test workshop,

Tall and spacious, with bright lights,

A new aircraft engine is firmly placed on a special test bench, surrounded by densely packed pipelines of varying thicknesses, like an intricate energy transmission network. The engine casing is made of a new alloy, with a cold metallic luster. Its air intake is like a deep black hole, waiting to swallow the airflow, and the tail nozzle is like a majestic gun muzzle, ready to fire.

The walls of the workshop are covered with technical parameter charts, which are slightly illuminated by the lights. The data on the charts are the result of countless theoretical deductions and preliminary tests. On the ground, the testing equipment is arranged in an orderly manner, and the cables are winding to connect various key nodes, transmitting real-time information on the operation of the engine.

Engineers dressed in dark blue work clothes and helmets were busy shuttling around the engine. Some held advanced testing instruments and carefully checked each component, not missing any minor flaws; others gathered in groups of two or three, discussing technical details enthusiastically in accents from all over the world, flipping through the drawings in their hands.

"Get ready to start!" The loud voice of Mo Hao, the general manager, echoed in the workshop, instantly breaking the noise. Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their eyes on the engine.

The starting handle was slowly pulled down, and the engine first made a dull "buzzing" sound, like a sleeping giant slowly waking up. The sound gradually became louder and turned into a deafening roar. A powerful airflow ejected from the tail nozzle, blowing the surrounding flags violently, and the dust on the ground was blown into the air, filling the entire workshop.

On the dashboard nearby, the pointer was jumping violently, recording key data such as engine speed and pressure. The monitoring personnel stared intently and reported loudly: "The speed is normal, and the pressure rise is stable!" The chief engineer folded his hands in front of his chest, frowned, and switched his eyes back and forth between the engine and the dashboard, not missing any details.

In an office on the third floor!

Zhao Taihua folded his hands over his chest, looking at the scene in the test workshop through the glass window, his face extremely nervous. Last night, a total of 20 aircraft engines were airlifted back from Haizhou State. According to the old factory director Yin Xinjun, these were the best performing engines this year!

This morning, he couldn't wait to ask for a test.

The arsenal is now in a state of panic because the Americans are updating their weapons very quickly, especially the new F86D fighter jets, which have completely crushed the advantages of the J-1, causing the Volunteer Army to almost completely lose air superiority!

Mo Hao took the test results, excitement showed on his face, and he hurried up to the third floor.

"Director, the results are out!"

"How is it?" Zhao Taihua's facial muscles were distorted due to excessive tension.

"Thanks to the afterburner, the thrust has been increased by 55%!"

Zhao Taihua shouted excitedly,

"Install it on new aircraft immediately. The next batch of fighters will be named J-2!"

Aircraft engine thrust is the most important technical parameter for fighter jets. The increase in thrust can improve flight performance. Greater thrust can enable fighter jets to reach higher speeds in a shorter time, which is beneficial for quickly seizing tactical positions, escaping enemy aircraft pursuit, or quickly approaching the target to launch an attack!
