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

Its daybreak,

Lu Chen had been ordered to withdraw all his troops to the fork in the road. The company suffered 67 casualties and 3 missing.

It was simply unbearable to stay there last night. The strong smell of blood made me want to vomit. Moreover, after the battle, there were still shrill screams all around the position, which made my scalp tingle and I couldn't fall asleep at all.

In the sky, a formation consisting of a reconnaissance plane and two P51s was circling continuously.

Soon, Lin Jiwen received news from the plane that the Indonesians had abandoned nearly 2000 bodies on the battlefield!

The Marines continued to build and reinforce fortifications, waiting for the Army to advance and encircle them.

However, the air force was not idle. At 10:22 a.m., they launched the first air strike on Sanda.

A total of 6 P51s aimed at the fortifications and defensive positions outside the city of Sanda, dropping bombs and strafing back and forth. The air strikes caused more than 300 Indonesian soldiers to be killed and wounded!

North direction,

In order to save time, the vanguard battalion commander Jia Donghui ordered the soldiers of each company to eat some dry food, and only gave fifteen minutes for lunch!

After lunch, the troops continued on their journey.

Huang Song and his class still acted as the vanguard.

He led the team, marching in battle formation on the road. The surroundings were abnormally quiet, with only the sound of soles of shoes rubbing against gravel.

But today, the road was still good and there was no sign of damage to the road surface, so they advanced a total of 20 kilometers throughout the morning!

In an instant, a loud noise was heard, as if a cannonball exploded in my ears.

Huang Song only felt a strong wind coming towards him, and a white light flashed before his eyes, and he was knocked to the ground. The figure of Zhang Mingli, the soldier walking in front, was instantly swallowed up by the smoke.

"Landmines! Hide!" Huang Songdi roared, his voice filled with unprecedented fear and urgency.

In the dead silent village nearby, long flames shot out from hidden corners, as if a beehive had been poked open. Dense bullets whistled "da da da", interweaving into a web of death, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

Several soldiers were shot and fell down instantly.

Huang Song looked up and saw at least two firing points in the village, but after a few bursts of shooting, there was no movement.

The remaining soldiers in the squad lay on the ground and fired back fiercely into the village.

An armored vehicle slowly approached from behind.

Gunner Sun Yu took a deep breath and skillfully operated the 20mm machine gun with both hands.

With a muffled thud, hot flames instantly spurted out of the muzzle. A string of shells, wrapped in terrifying power and dragging long tails of flames, rushed towards the village, whistling.

The shell hit the small wooden house in the village accurately. The house was instantly torn into pieces by the powerful impact force, and countless burning wood pieces flew around like hidden weapons.

Huang Song ran to the armored vehicle, picked up the walkie-talkie, and called into the microphone,

"Platoon leader, there are enemies ahead, requesting support!"

Two tanks came from behind.

The muzzle of the gun turned and launched a fierce bombardment at the village.

Under the attack of artillery shells, these wooden houses were like fragile matchboxes. A huge fire broke out in an instant, and the fire spread rapidly, with crackling sounds and the sound of houses collapsing intertwined.

In the armored vehicle, Huang Song smoked a cigarette and looked indifferently at the swaying figures in the sea of ​​fire. He felt that he was really lucky this time. These enemies were too cunning!

The platoon leader's voice came over the walkie-talkie, asking everyone to rest as a mine had been discovered and they had to wait for the engineering corps to mobilize the mine-clearing equipment!

After about an hour,

A modified armored mine-sweeper slowly drove over, its huge tracks leaving deep ruts on the ground.

In front of the tank, there is a special 5-meter-wide mine roller made of thick and hard steel. The surface is covered with sharp protrusions, flashing a cold light in the sunlight, deterring the mines hidden in the dark.

As the mine roller slowly turned and rolled over the land on the road, the tense atmosphere reached its climax.

Suddenly, a dull bang broke the silence, and another mine was triggered by the mine roller, instantly bursting into dazzling flames and billowing smoke. The huge impact force caused the mine roller to shake violently, and the tank also shook.

The mine roller continued to turn steadily, clearing the road back and forth. Fortunately, there were only two mines in this area.

The troops continued to advance forward, and this time, the armored mine-clearing vehicle was in the lead!

presidential palace,

Yin Xinjun was drinking coffee with Wu Xingbao and was in a particularly good mood. Today Wu Xingbao brought him good news. The J-2 has now been officially mass-produced in China and the J-1 has been discontinued. It will soon be put into use in the next battle!

Yin Xinjun didn't care that the southern expedition was not going well. He thought it was a good opportunity to train the new recruits. As time went on, his advantage would only grow.

In the past two days, the highway from Haizhou City to Jingbo Lake City has finally been completed, and the railway project has also begun to lay tracks intensively. From Jingbo Lake City to the south of the highway, the railway has started construction in the Haizhou section.

In terms of factories, the Haizhou power plant, water plant, sewage plant and other livelihood projects that started construction earlier have also officially started operation, and a large number of citizens have begun to enter the factories to work!

There is good news almost every day!

Yin Xinjun put down the cup.

"Ambassador Wu, our Haizhou Arsenal and Haizhou Shipyard are about to start operation. We have been busy installing and debugging machine tools and other equipment in the past two days!"

"Congratulations, President. Haizhou City has a new look almost every day. Everything here is developing rapidly!"

"However, the workers trained recently are still not satisfactory. Can we mobilize another batch of skilled workers from China? From the current perspective, there is still a shortage of at least 3 to 5 people!"

Wu Xingbao said with difficulty,

"We have mobilized 6.7 construction workers, 1.5 manufacturing workers, more than 4100 mining workers, and more than 5900 shipping workers from the country to come to Haizhou, not including the soldiers, civil servants, doctors, and teachers we have mobilized. The total number has exceeded 12. These are elites from all walks of life.

You know, China is also working hard right now, projects are blooming everywhere, and talent is in short supply. If you say you can mobilize a few hundred people, it's possible, but if you mobilize more than that, I guess there won't be enough!"

Yin Xinjun showed a grateful look on his face. After thinking about it, he advised,

"Thank you for the help from our motherland, but this time the situation is special. The military factories and shipyards that have started construction are very critical, involving a large number of cutting-edge weapons and equipment, such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, carrier-based aircraft, helicopters, etc. Haizhou will only share these cutting-edge technologies with China! Otherwise, can you ask for instructions again?"

The Haizhou Arsenal and the shipyard currently only have 1 workers ready, plus the 5 workers recruited locally, but it is still far from enough! Yin Xinjun estimates that even the short-term gap is more than people!

Wu Xingbao pondered for a moment, took out a notebook, and carefully recorded it.

"I'll ask you again what you just said. For the great industrial development of Haizhou, many domestic projects have been suspended. 79 of them have been suspended this year!"

"Don't worry, Ambassador Wu, Haizhou will surely become China's most powerful and close ally!"

Yin Xinjun smiled. The first batch of military production lines he launched in Haizhou were all the most advanced production lines produced by Space. He just wanted to persuade Wu Xingbao not to bother researching similar production lines in China. Putting the production base in Haizhou and sharing the products between the two countries, isn't that the best option?
