Mu Jiandie did not reach a substantive agreement during his first visit to the British and French representatives. Not only that, but he also had an unpleasant disagreement with the British representative, Viscount Hodford, saying, "General Angpos, our student army is sincerely willing to help you. I think you should be able to feel it. Of course, the premise is that those three conditions must be met. It's getting late. That's it for today. The general is a friend and it's a pleasure to deal with you. If you have time, please do Come and be a guest at my place." Leaving these words behind, Mu Jiandie shook hands with Ang Bos, nodded to Huo Defu, said goodbye and returned.
Mujiandie's attitude towards himself and Angpos was very different, which made Hodford very unhappy. Just after Mujiandie left, he said to Angpos: "What a vulgar and uncultured barbarian."
Angpos looked very worried.
Seeing him like this, Hodford couldn't help frowning and said dissatisfied: "General Angpos, you don't really want to cooperate with them, do you? It's just a warlord. What can it do? Moreover, they actually want to act alone. What do they want to do? Southeast Asia belongs to us and is absolutely unacceptable."
Angpos shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Your Excellency, Viscount, you know our strength in Vietnam. There are only less than 20,000 regular troops. With this small force, it is impossible for us to resist the Japanese invasion head-on."
"Aren't there still troops from the British Empire?" Hodford curled his lips, "If you help us defend Malaysia, we will also help you defend Vietnam."
Angpos sighed lightly and did not continue the topic. The French were not stupid. With the Japanese army's enthusiasm to capture Indonesia, they knew that the so-called British and French coalition forces did not have the strength to challenge the Japanese, and the British side's so-called assistance in defending Malaysia was If not, the last remaining French troops in Southeast Asia will be consumed. "The next target of the Japanese should be Malaysia, but sooner or later, they will probably use troops in the Philippines. The Americans should be able to see this, but they just don't know that they Will we take the initiative to become an enemy of Japan? We still have some time to prepare. Maybe, I should go to Guangzhou and take the initiative to visit the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army." He thought silently in his heart, and was completely tempted by Mu Jiandie's suggestion.
After Mu Jiandie returned to the representative office, he immediately sent a telegram to Guangzhou to report the matter.
In Guangzhou and even Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong, the war machine of the Xuebing Army has once again been operating at a very high frequency. On the Cangnan and Shangying front lines, the war is still going on. The Korean puppet army has become the main force of the Japanese attack, and the Xuebing Army once fell into a bitter battle. , and after adapting to the Koreans' style of play, Jiang Guangnai and Ye Zhao made several arrangements, adopted an uncharacteristically shrinking defensive posture, and brought some self-defense forces and guerrillas to the front line. The Japanese were practicing the so-called "Greater East Asia" "Co-Prosperity Army", the Xue Bing Army also began to train its second-line troops. For a while, although the sound of gunfire and artillery on the Cangnan-Jingning Line and Shangying Line was still heard all day long, the casualties on both sides were smaller.
In Hainan, after working as the chief architect of civil engineering for nearly half a year, Sawada Shigeru was feeling complacent about the Imperial Navy entering the Indian Ocean. He thought that the days of such forbearance had come to an end. Suddenly, he was horrified to discover that he didn’t know when the Dongfang City started heading north. A series of forts and fortresses were erected on the coastline in the area. From one of his subordinates, he learned that the six forts along the coast of Changhua Port, which is closest to Dongfang City, all have main gun calibers of 240 mm. The old Japanese was so shocked that he almost died. I was so scared that I peed my pants on the spot. The caliber is 240 mm and the range is 45 kilometers. What does this mean? If the Xuebing Army intends to destroy the 4th Division, then it only needs to continue to use these cannons to bombard them indiscriminately. And here In front of such a huge cannon, all the fortresses and tunnels were just floating clouds... "Ba Ge, it can't be fake, it was a bare beach last month." The old devil was confused. No wonder he had doubts. The large fortress with the giant cannon, let alone the installation of the giant cannon, the amount of civil engineering work is also considerable. How can it be completed in just one month? Is it fake? It really is not, because this kind of steel-based As the main building material of the fortress, its large steel components were successfully poured and processed at a steel factory in Danzhou half a year ago. After more than half a year, sixteen sets have been produced. Fujian and Guangdong people In order to support the front line, Hainanese are busy producing and participating in various paramilitary activities day and night. Hainanese are not idle either. In addition to this huge artillery fortress that has been dismantled today, Hainanese’s other major contribution to the military government is Two divisions of field troops were organized, and if nothing else goes wrong, once the student army enters Southeast Asia, these two divisions will immediately become regular and become the main force in jungle warfare in Southeast Asia. This kind of giant artillery fortress, Ouyang Yun's original The plan was to install it on the Penghu Islands to form a Taiwan Strait fortress. However, as the Japanese army changed its strategy and began to invade the Indian Ocean, which directly threatened the security of Hainan Island, he issued an order that this kind of giant artillery fortress would be the first to It was used for the defense of Hainan Island itself. It was a blockbuster and immediately had an immediate frightening effect on the 4th Division. One giant artillery fortress stood up one after another with the help of large cranes, and the 4th Division within its range The Japanese army was in panic all day long. The barracks of the 4th Division, which had once regained its vitality, suddenly became lifeless. Looking back, Sawada Shigeru realized why there was no response from the military training camp after he launched a massive civil engineering campaign. They didn't care at all. ah,
When Ouyang Yun received the information about the British and French delegations conveyed by Mu Jiandie, he was observing the actual combat drill of the helicopter in the Baiyun Mountains of Guangzhou. The helicopter had been successfully developed as early as the year before last, but the reason why it had not been launched until now was Because there are no matching weapons, in that time and space, the main weapon of helicopters was precision-guided rockets. Its function was to deal with ground armored targets and provide fire support to ground troops, and to carry out short-distance troops. There are three types of helicopters launched by Xubing R&D Institute this time, one is the "Hummingbird" for reconnaissance, the other is the "Haidongqing" armed helicopter that focuses on firepower output, and the other is focused on Heavy-duty transport helicopter "Albatross",
The one currently performing a demonstration for Ouyang Yun and others is a "Haitongqing". The "Haidongqing" is equipped with three types of airborne weapons. A 20mm rapid-fire cannon under the nose, rockets at both ends of the belly. There is a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun on the outside of the rocket pod.
Pan Meiren got off the car, holding a telegram in her hand. At this moment, the "Haitongqing" numbered 201 launched an attack on the target more than a thousand meters away. Only the rocket nests on both sides were visible. Suddenly clusters of fireworks were sprayed out, and with a "duh" sound, dozens of rockets roared out with tail flames. A "rumbling" explosion sounded, and the target was instantly exploded within dozens of square meters. The fireworks shrouded them, and when the smoke dissipated, not only did the target turn into a pile of burning scrap metal, but the ground shrouded in fireworks was also cratered and smoke was rising from the outside.
