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

The Indonesian sky is brightly lit by the scorching sun of the equator.

A Suzaku reconnaissance plane broke through the clouds like a ghost, hovering silently at an altitude of meters, conducting reconnaissance on military targets below.

The fuselage lines of Suzaku are smooth. Under the sunlight, the metal shell gleams with a cold luster, and the reconnaissance equipment under the wings exudes a cool atmosphere of technology.

In the co-pilot's cabin, scout Meng Lu sat in his seat, his eyes glued to the observation mirror, his pen moving rapidly on the recording board. His eyes followed the camera, and the airport below gradually became clear.

At the Jakarta airport, more than a dozen training planes were lined up neatly, ground crews were busy shuttling back and forth, and refueling trucks and tractors were constantly coming and going.

Meng Lu quickly pressed the shutter of the camera, and the flash flashed briefly in the sky, accurately capturing the scene.

After a while, the plane continued to fly westward, and he turned the camera to a military camp, where rows of barracks were arranged in an orderly manner and soldiers were conducting drills on the playground. The locations of the fortifications, oil depots, and ammunition depots around the military camp were also recorded one by one.

The maximum ceiling of the Suzaku reconnaissance aircraft is about meters, which exceeds the ceiling of all fighter jets. Its range can reach 3200 kilometers and its cruising speed is 720 kilometers per hour. Unlike old reconnaissance aircraft, the Suzaku is equipped with a dedicated eight-fold high-definition observation mirror, which can carefully observe targets on the ground at an altitude of 0.5 meters. At the same time, its onboard aerial camera can capture images with a ground resolution of up to meters. It is also equipped with today's most advanced search radar equipment!

Dingshan's Army Aviation Corps received the first batch of new combat aircraft yesterday, 5 each of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Five Suzaku reconnaissance aircraft took off immediately today and began all-weather reconnaissance activities over Kalimantan Island, surrounding waters, and neighboring countries!

The construction site of the railway from Jingbohu City to Weihushan City,

The 275-kilometer-long construction site quickly entered a climax of busy construction, taking advantage of the fine weather.

In the cleared area,

"Thump, thump, thump--" Several bulldozers drove aggressively in the front, their huge buckets like steel teeth, ruthlessly cutting into the ground, turning up the overgrown weeds, stones of different sizes, and thick soil layers. For a moment, dust filled the sky and branches and leaves flew everywhere. The driver was fully focused, holding the joystick tightly with both hands, staring firmly at the front. With each advance of the machine, the ground made a dull "whimper".

In the excavation area,

The excavator waved its long arm, and the huge bucket fell accurately, transferring the excavated soil one bucket after another to the transport truck next to it. "Clang clang clang", the truck bucket was filled, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove to the designated unloading point, raising dust all the way. As soon as one truck drove away, another truck quickly took its place. The whole loading and unloading process was tense and orderly, like a carefully choreographed dance.

In the wetland hardening area,

On the construction site, five huge steam pile drivers made dull and powerful "bang bang" sounds, each of which seemed to hit the pulse of the earth.

Workers wearing safety helmets were everywhere, their skin tanned and shiny by the scorching sun. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down their foreheads, but they had no time to wipe them off.

The Third Division of the Ministry of Railways had just completed the railway from Jingpo Lake City to Haizhou City and was immediately put into use here. A total of 1500 pieces of construction machinery of various types were deployed along the entire line, and more than 8.6 migrant workers were recruited from the local area!

Although this section of railway is very long, the technical difficulty is not great. The terrain is flat, there are no tunnels or super-large bridges, and there are only more than 30 small and medium-sized bridges along the entire line!

This is the main north-south transportation artery of Kalimantan Island. This railway goes directly from the northern port of Haizhou City to the southern port of Yalujiang City, and Yalujiang City is the outpost base for Yin Xinjun’s operations to the south!

In a camp at the construction site,

The commander of the Third Division, Zhong Xin, is arranging tasks.

"For Section 48, the surface clearing work must be completed within hours. For Section , the lime soil subbase construction will begin tomorrow!

......! "

The Third Division of the Ministry of Railways was originally reorganized from the field army. When it came to building railways, they had strong execution capabilities and kept a tight control on the progress of the project!

Minister Wang Shuigen arranged for the Third Division to complete the entire line and open to traffic by November 11 this year, but Zhong Xin brought it forward by a month, requiring that all sections be completed before October 6, and the construction schedule be reversed based on this node!

In the classroom of the Naval Academy, the students were waiting for a special lecturer with great anticipation. The door opened and the torpedo officer Zhang Chengyang walked in. The sea breeze left traces on his face, but his eyes revealed a murderous aura that could not be hidden.

Facing the thunderous applause, Zhang Chengyang saluted somewhat stiffly, because he was also a "veteran" who had only been in the army for two months!

A 40-year-old instructor said,

"Today, the one who will teach you about torpedoes is our torpedo officer Zhang Chengyang. Although he has a short military service, he is a hero who has participated in two naval battles. He sank one Indonesian gunboat and one Philippine gunboat, made second-class military merit, and was awarded the Navy Jingtao Medal! Let us welcome Zhang Chengyang to give us a lecture again!"

Zhang Chengyang walked up to the podium, his eyes swept across the young faces below, and he said, "Students, torpedoes are the most powerful weapons in our submarine naval warfare. Today I will introduce you to them." He picked up a piece of chalk, turned around and drew a diagram of the structure of a torpedo on the blackboard, and said as he drew, "This torpedo is like an intelligent hunter in the sea. The warhead is its 'fist', loaded with high explosives. Once it hits the target, the power can tear a big hole in the enemy ship; the power system is its 'heart', giving it the power to move at high speed in the water."

When talking about torpedo firing, his tone became serious and excited: "Shooting a torpedo is a delicate job. A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Before each launch, we have to repeatedly calibrate the firing parameters, including wind speed, ocean current, target heading and speed. None of them can be neglected. These factors are like naughty devils. If they change slightly, the trajectory of the torpedo will deviate." He gestured in the air with his hands, as if he was controlling a naval battle: "When launching, you have to be as clear as a mirror in your mind and decisively press the launch button to let the torpedo rush out like an arrow from a bow."

Then, Zhang Chengyang talked about torpedo maintenance: "Maintaining a torpedo is like taking care of your own brothers. You have to be careful. Every time you come back from a mission, you have to carefully check the outer shell to see if there are any scratches or corrosion. Especially the parts in key areas, they have to be disassembled for cleaning and lubrication. Any small problem may cause the chain to fall apart at a critical moment." He took out a small tool from his pocket and demonstrated it: "This is a tool specially used to clean the internal circuits of the torpedo. Don't underestimate it. A clean circuit can ensure stable signal transmission and make the torpedo obedient."

Finally, at the request of the students, Zhang Chengyang also recounted his experiences in two naval battles!

As Zhang Chengyang spoke passionately, the students' eyes lit up and they were deeply attracted by his rich practical experience and professional knowledge. They understood that what this "veteran" taught them was not only technology, but also his love and perseverance for the naval cause.
