Chapter 1 Big Fish

On the road from Xi'an to Linfen, a car was speeding.

There were three people sitting on the sidecars. Zhou Shi, the translator in the back seat, took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He shouted loudly in English toward the sidecar: "We are almost there, Mr. Wilson, there are still 30 minutes!"

"

Wilson nodded with a painful look on his face. He had never known that the Eighth Route Army's transportation was so backward, and it was said that it was quite advanced for them.

Wilson is a military researcher. He was ordered to come to China two years ago to become an intelligence officer stationed in Shanghai in order to observe, study and analyze the performance of the equipment the Japanese put into the battlefield to prepare for emergencies.

The reason why Wilson appears here is because he received a mission.

"We heard that a strange piece of equipment appeared in the Eighth Route Army!" Colonel Smith said on the phone: "It is a piece of individual equipment that can destroy enemy tanks fifty meters away. We are very interested in this equipment and need you.

Go investigate what that is!”

"Yes, Colonel!" Wilson replied, but then asked strangely: "But Colonel, why don't we just ask them?"

"They are the Eighth Route Army, Wilson!" The colonel on the other end of the phone was a little dissatisfied: "You haven't figured out their relationship yet!"

Wilson was a little embarrassed. He really couldn't understand the relationship between the two Chinese armies.

They are an army but not an army... Why is this?

But Wilson doesn't think he needs to figure this out. All he cares about is equipment, equipment.

All kinds of weird equipment can kill the enemy with maximum efficiency. These things are like a kind of magic to Wilson, making him enjoy it and can't extricate himself.

This is one of the reasons why Wilson became a scientific researcher.

Wilson came into contact with the Chinese military as a reporter.

At this time, any outside visit or contact with the Eighth Route Army must first obtain permission from Chongqing.

As a result, some troubles were encountered. Chongqing seemed reluctant to allow Wilson to contact the Eighth Route Army.

But in the end, Wilson managed to make the trip through indirect pressure.

However, Wilson did not think he was right.

Because all he saw along the way was poverty and backwardness, Wilson did not believe that an army growing up in such an environment would have any equipment that interested him.

This made Wilson a little frustrated and thought, if they had this kind of equipment, I would eat it!

Wilson became even more convinced of this when the bag stopped at a place called Sanjia Store.

Because he didn't see any machines... How could they produce without machines? How could they develop if they couldn't produce?

Could it be that those ideas just popped out of stone?

"Hello!" Wilson greeted the curious people around him in Chinese.

Wilson has studied Chinese for two years, and although he doesn't speak it well, normal communication is not a problem. He even gave himself a cool Chinese name.

"My Chinese name is Sun Erwei!" This is how Wilson introduced himself to Wang Xuexin.

Wang Xuexin almost laughed out loud and hurriedly coughed to cover it up.

"Any questions?" Wilson asked.

"No, no, no problem!" Wang Xuexin hurriedly waved his hand, almost hurting himself internally.

After finally enduring it, Wang Xuexin asked: "So, Mr. Sun... Erwei, what do you want to know?"

Sun Erwei took out his notebook from his pocket and asked a few questions casually while pretending to take notes.

This is Sun Erwei's strategy, so as to avoid unnecessary suspicion as much as possible.

Then Sun Erwei asked: "Mr. Wang, I heard that you invented a kind of individual anti-tank equipment. You call it a rocket launcher. Is there really such equipment?"

Wang Xuexin turned his attention to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang nodded slightly.

The superiors have long been aware of this aspect, and except for the solid propellant formula, the rest is not a secret.

At the same time, if the deeds of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance are spread through reporters, it will play a positive publicity role in the world, which will obviously have a positive impact on the Eighth Route Army's ability to obtain international assistance.

Therefore, the superiors have instructed us to fully cooperate with the reporter to complete this interview.

Of course Zhao Gang and his superiors didn't know that this recipe had been no secret in Yingjiang for a long time.

They just wanted to know whether the anti-tank equipment used by the Eighth Route Army was a rocket launcher.

If not, what kind of equipment is it?

If so, how to solve the accuracy problem? Is there any reference value?

Wang Xuexin waved to a rocket launcher shooter, who immediately ran over with a rocket launcher on his back, and then handed over the rocket launcher and the rockets.

Sun Erwei's eyes widened when he took the rocket launcher. He looked at it and exclaimed: "God, it really exists, it's so beautiful!"

Wang Xuexin felt a little strange when he looked at Sun Erwei.

This is not something a reporter can show...

If you are a reporter, even a military reporter, you should be confused when faced with equipment you have never seen before, or you may ask how to use the equipment, etc.

But this Sun Erwei...

The moment he got the rocket launcher, his whole body seemed to be lit up with light. His inability to put it down and his heartfelt admiration showed that he knew how to use it and even saw how to launch it just by looking at it.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

Then Wang Xuexin became even more certain.

I saw Sun Erwei put the rocket launcher on his shoulder, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Wang, how to deal with its tail flame? I mean... how to prevent it from burning the shooter?"

Expert!

Only professionals in this field can ask this question.

"We first use a gunpowder bag to throw it out!" Wang Xuexin explained: "It will ignite more than ten meters away and then fly to the target!"

"Good method!" Sun Erwei looked at Wang Xuexin with a pair of blue eyes in surprise, and asked in disbelief: "Is this the method you thought of? How did you do it? This is incredible!"

"Mr. Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin replied calmly: "This is the helplessness of war. If we don't think of this method, it means that we will die in front of the enemy tanks!"

Sun Erwei nodded, and then said: "Can I see how it is launched?"

Wang Xuexin smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, why don't you try it yourself?"

Sun Erwei immediately felt that he had been seen through by the young man in front of him.

This made Sun Erwei a little embarrassed, but also secretly happy.

If he is discovered by the Japanese, he may be imprisoned and interrogated.

But in the Chinese army, this is not a big problem.

So Sun Erwei simply admitted it.

"You are very smart, Mr. Wang!" Sun Erwei stretched out his hand: "I like to make friends with smart people!"

"Me too, Mr. Sun!" Wang Xuexin replied, holding hands.
