Chapter 40: Datang's Weapon Aid

Shanghai, the sound of cannons roaring by the Huangpu River and blood flows into a river.

The 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army defended the Japanese planes, tanks and cannons with flesh and blood. They fought bloody battles on the battlefield of Songhu for more than two months, and they fought for an inch of land. Every time the Japanese invaders advanced an inch of land, they would return to the price of bleeding.

As the Tang Empire announced its support for China's war against Japan, there was a lot of praise throughout the government, hoping that the Tang army's first aircraft carrier battle group would arrive at the Songhu battlefield as soon as possible.

At this time, the news that the Tang army severely damaged the Japanese joint fleet had been widely spread in mainland China. Therefore, the government was in full swing about the Tang army's participation in the war, and those pro-Japanese elements immediately restrained themselves and did not dare to advocate that the Japanese army would win and lose. After all, the participation of the Tang army made the Sino-Japanese war more subtle.

The Japanese base camp was panicked, and the Japanese Navy was unable to stop the Tang Dynasty's Royal Navy's First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group from the Songhu battlefield. In order to prevent the Tang army from landing in Taiwan, the Japanese army had transferred the 9th Division back to Taiwan for defense. In this way, less than 70,000 Japanese troops were left on the Songhu battlefield. Faced with the tenacious resistance, it seemed that the National Government could not be forced to surrender in a short period of time. If the Tang Dynasty Navy arrived, the 70,000 Japanese troops would face the dangerous environment of being attacked from both sides, and it would be impossible to eliminate the entire army.

The Inukai Tsushi's cabinet suggested withdrawing troops from Shanghai immediately, but the Japanese military disagreed. Although the navy suffered a devastating heavy blow, the Japanese army was still intact. The Japanese Navy and Army have always been tit-for-tat. At this time, Japanese Army Minister Sadao Araki was the first to stand up to oppose the withdrawal, saying that he would quickly defeat the Chinese team and then occupy Shanghai to fight against the Tang army.

When the Japanese Navy was defeated, the generals naturally had no say. They were all waiting to see Sadao Araki's jokes. After all, without the support of the Navy, the Army could only be passively beaten.

Inukai Yi's cabinet gave Sadao Araki ten days. If he could not defeat the CNZ team, he had to evacuate. Sadao Araki was not a reckless man. Although he was very proud of his face, he knew that even if he could not drive the CNZ team out of Shanghai in ten days, there would be no danger in the Japanese army. Just break into the Shanghai Public Concession directly.

It can be said that Sadao Araki made a small plan in his mind and naturally gained the face of the Japanese army. Even if he didn't succeed, he could escape unscathed.

However, Sadao Araki had never dealt with Zhang Meng. If he had carefully studied Zhang Meng's personality, he would definitely not dare to do that.

If Zhang Meng knew that the Japanese army might withdraw from the public concession for refuge, he would definitely shout: "You little Japanese devil, do you think I won't repair you if I enter the public concession?"

Sadao Araki wanted to take advantage of the Japanese Navy's defeat to establish the strength of the Japanese army, not only to compete with the navy, but also to shock the world. Otherwise, all the powerful countries will come to defeat Japan, and the National Government will even regain the three northeastern provinces in one breath. The anti-Japanese force soared, and he must shock the forces of various countries.

The Japanese army launched a fierce offensive on the battlefield of Songhu. They wanted to defeat the ** before the Tang army intervened, forcing the National Government to surrender and take the initiative to seek peace with Japan.

Originally, the Inukai Yi's cabinet agreed to create local wars in Shanghai to force Britain, France and the United States not to make things difficult for Japan on the issue of puppet Manchukuo. However, with the Japanese navy defeated, Britain, France and the United States were no longer so afraid of Japan. They no longer looked at Japan's face on the Shanghai issue and the three northeastern provinces. This led to the Japanese army having to rely on their own strength to win the fear of Britain, France and the United States again.

** is under great pressure. They are backward in equipment and are suffering from fighting against the well-equipped Japanese army. How many soldiers have bleed and sacrificed.

But this problem was quickly resolved. Since the alliance between the Tang Dynasty, the first batch of arms arrived directly at Longhua Airport through the Tang Army's transport plane.

Seeing a large Tang army transport plane landing, Jiang Guangnai saw such a huge aircraft for the first time. It was the newly entered service of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty, nicknamed the Great Bumblebee.

As one of the largest birds in the world, the Great Bumblebee used it as the nickname of the Tang Army transport aircraft.

Zhang Meng went all out to build the world's largest super wind tunnel group, which was naturally purposeful. He was not able to focus on the development of fighter jets, and knew that the great role of military transport aircraft in sending troops and transporting materials in the future can often change the outcome of a battle or even the winner or loss of a battle.

Datang is the first to embark on the road of turboprop aircraft engines in the field of aviation engines. Although turboprop engines are currently only used to drive propellers, during the mass production process, scientific researchers and engineers continuously improve their performance. It can be expected that in the near future, it will inevitably be able to drive jet aircraft and lead the world aviation revolution.

The Tang army has applied high-power turboprop engines to Raptor heavy carrier-based fighters and Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers, and has achieved success, achieving technical achievements of high-thrust aero engines that are currently unmatched by countries around the world, so it can naturally be applied to transport aircraft and long-range bombers.

The Great Bumblebee transport aircraft was officially in service with the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty. It was its improved ty-1 type C, which proved that it was more advanced than the previous two types A and B.

The Great Buster Transport Mecha was designed and manufactured based on the relevant performance parameters of the Boeing 247 passenger aircraft, while the Type B was referenced by Douglas Airways' DC-3 aircraft as a blueprint. These two aircraft were the largest aircraft in the 1930s, but they had their advantages and disadvantages. Datang Airlines took the dross and took the essence of it. In addition, the super wind tunnel group could conduct the entire wind tunnel test on it to extract a large number of performance parameters, so that the final production of ty-1 Type C transport aircraft completely surpassed the two prototypes of Boeing 247 and DC-3 in performance. There was no trace of a copycat when it was finalized. It was completely a new transport aircraft.

The Great Bumblebee transport aircraft has a total length of 19.608 meters, a wingspan of 26.26 meters, a height of 5.18 meters, an empty weight of 8.23 ​​tons, a maximum speed of 375 kilometers per hour, a range of 1930 kilometers, and a designed to carry 6 crew members. The cargo warehouse can accommodate about 4.5 tons of cargo.

Looking around the world, the Great Bumblebee transport plane is undoubtedly a giant in the air. Especially for Jiang Guangnai and his soldiers at Longhua Airport, this is the first time they have seen such a huge thing in their lives.

"There are such a big plane in the world?"

"Oh my God. This is more than ten times larger than the planes in our country!"

"How did this thing fly?"

Jiang Guangnai's subordinates were stunned. At this time, Li Jianyuan, the Minister of the Tang Dynasty to China, said proudly: "It is called the Great Bumblebee, and it can transport 10,000 kilograms of goods at a time. It is made by our Tang Empire."

Jiang Guangnai looked at Li Jianyuan and felt uncomfortable. The Tang Empire was like a Chinese myth, and he couldn't believe it.

At this time, the first landed Great Bumble transport plane turned left and right and finally entered the apron.

When the hatch opened, Jiang Guangnai, Li Jianyuan and others rushed forward. The first Datang aircraft to arrive in China naturally had to cut the ribbon.

However, the pilots who came down from above were not very happy. One of them complained: "What a broken airport? The runway is too narrow. It took a long time to land."

Longhua Airport is the only military-civilian dual-use airport in Shanghai. In recent years, it has been changed over and over again, sometimes civilian and sometimes military, which has made most of the runways unusable. After the Tang Army plane landed, it had to turn around and for more than half an hour before reaching the place.

You should know that although the Great Bumblebee transport aircraft has a flight of 2,000 kilometers, it cannot fly directly to Shanghai. Instead, it passes through Majuro Airport, Saipan Airport, and Hong Kong Airport many times and takes more than 20 hours to arrive in Shanghai. When passing by near Taiwan, you still have to be guarded against Japanese aircraft intercepting, which is tiring and dangerous.

Jiang Guangnai knew this very well, not to mention that they were giving weapons and equipment to **. Jiang Guangnai naturally didn't care about it, and he didn't dare to neglect it. He was a commander of the army hurried forward to reimburse him.

"There are only such conditions in our country, so we naturally cannot compare to the Tang Dynasty. I have really neglected you. Please forgive me. You all come from afar. Our 19th Route Army has prepared a welcome banquet for you. You can take a shower first and have a rest."

"Don't be rude!" Li Jianyuan stopped the pilots from complaining and hurriedly introduced them. When he learned that the other party was actually a commander, several pilots were embarrassed. One of the more lively pilots immediately smiled and said, "Just just kidding, we are well-known for our generals. The 19th Route Army is all good, and we admire all those who fight the Japanese."

This was very appropriate. The officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army, including Jiang Guangnai, who came to pick them up, were very proud. The two sides immediately burst into laughter and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

Then Li Jianyuan and Jiang Guangnai visited the Great Bullshire Transportation Plane together. When they saw boxes of weapons, equipment and ammunition in the cargo hold on the plane, Jiang Guangnai and his officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army immediately turned green in their eyes.

A Tang army logistics soldier explained: "This is an m1 submachine gun. Our Tang army's individual soldier equipment has an effective range of 150 meters. It can use 30 rounds, 45 rounds, and 60 rounds of different magazines..."

"It's powerful, more than our machine guns. It's just the Tang army's individual equipment. It would be nice if our company had a machine gun."

"It's a pity that the effective range is too short, only 150 meters. You should know that the Japanese's 38th cover can reach 500 meters."

Several ** officers seemed to only attach importance to effective range, and the Tang army's logistics soldiers were immediately unhappy.

"Where are you going to kill yourself with a rifle?"

"This... I can do a headshot of 100 meters and hit the enemy's body within 200 meters. As for our company's troops, they can probably hit the enemy's body at about 40 meters and 80 meters."

The Tang army logistics soldier snorted coldly and said, "This commander has the potential of a sniper, but not every soldier can do it. Especially the war is fighting for firepower and consumption. As the war continues for a long time, more and more people die. Sometimes the supplementary recruits even go to the battlefield after less than a month of training. You can't expect their marksmanship to be much better."

Several officers of the 19th Route Army nodded and recognized the other party's words.

"Young brother is right. Many brothers have died in our 19th Route Army. The new recruits who have been added are getting worse and worse. We even flew into the sky as soon as the recruit fires the bullets."

The Tang army logistics soldier continued: "So it is impossible that everyone is a sniper. When ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield, they are nervous and most of them cannot aim accurately. Those who have really fought know that there are no one shooting between four or five hundred meters on the battlefield. They are all fighting within one hundred meters. Therefore, the effective range of the Japanese devils' 38 gun is far from the range, which is just a waste of resources. Although our M1 submachine gun is less than 150 meters, its accuracy is very high within fifty meters. The Japanese devils fired us and our bullets were all called to him. Who would die quickly?"

"As you say, you are really that little brother. This is definitely the nemesis of the Japanese devils!"

"That's right, our commander said that using this gun to deal with the Japanese devils will definitely take advantage of it!"

"By the way, brother, what did you mean by sniper? What does that mean?"

"Snipers are almost the same as sharpshooters!"

"Brother, you know so much, maybe you are a sniper too!"

"I am just a logistics soldier, with average shooting skills, and I can only hit 80 rings at a distance of 100 meters, which is far from our Tang army's snipers."

A group of ** officers were stunned. They were just logistics soldiers, and their marksmanship was even better than those of ** regular soldiers.

"Then how far can you Tang Army snipers fight!"

The logistics soldier immediately said with a gaze: "It depends on which sniper rifle you use. Our ordinary snipers in the Tang army can use the Zero Sniper rifle to make the headshot within 400 meters and hit the body within 800 meters."

A group of ** soldiers were stunned. They had never heard of snipers, sniper rifles, or something, but it was really shocking to hear that ordinary Tang army snipers could take the lead within 400 meters.

"That's just an ordinary sniper? Is there any more powerful sniper?"

"Of course, each platoon in our Tang Dynasty Royal Army has one or two snipers. Each squad of the Marine Corps is equipped with snipers. They are just ordinary snipers. Most of our special forces are shooting elites. Their snipers can achieve accurate headings of 600 meters and kill opponents within 1,000 meters."

A group of ** officers were immediately surprised and their mouths opened into an O-shaped shape. This was really shocking for them.

Even Jiang Guangnai, who was counting supplies with Li Jianyuan, couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen. If the Tang army had not defeated the Japanese joint fleet first, he would have never believed that this was the truth. At this moment, his heart was even more complicated. China was actually not as good as a Tang Empire that had been established for a few years. What was the problem? He couldn't help but sigh.

"How to learn military rules? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and do your work!"

Li Jianyuan rolled his eyes. Although he was happy to see the envious expressions of a group of soldiers and were proud of the Tang Dynasty, he found that the logistics soldier seemed to be unable to control the door, so he told him everything about the special forces and hurriedly reminded him.

The logistics soldier also realized that he had said too much and immediately grinned.

"You can't say it anymore. If you say more, you will reveal the military secrets. Our sir should punish me to copy the confidentiality regulations a thousand times."

Well, this is still a habitual offender, and everyone rolled their eyes immediately.
