Davao, Liu Zhiliang's Third Division.

After staying in Luzon Province for half a month, Bai Shujie did not return to Dragon City, the capital of Borneo, but continued to inspect the Philippine Islands in the south.

"How's the situation in Mindanao?" At lunch, Bai Shujie finally provoked the conversation: "There is still a lot of seismic activity there, and the small volcano is also in the active period. ”

Although Liu Zhiliang is Bai Shujie's earliest follower, his temperament is out-of-the-box, and he does not have the cowering appearance of others in front of Bai Shujie.

"As soon as the boss's order came, I sent two regiments in to clean up. After seven months of repeated dragnet searches, I can now say that there is absolutely no human hair in it, except for ghosts. ”

"The expert group of the General Administration of Mineral Resources is now working in it, and it is said that according to the route provided by the boss, a large gold mine has been found, and if we dig it out, we will not make a fortune?"

Bai Shujie glared at Liu Zhiliang: "When you fucking followed Lao Tzu, did you want to get rich?" What did Lao Tzu say at the beginning? ”

Liu Zhiliang didn't care at all: "The boss's original words at the time were: You follow Lao Tzu, you want money or not, you want officials or not, there is only one way to die." Now that he is leaving, Lao Tzu will send three oceans to each person. ”

Bai Shujie is really a little helpless about something like a scoundrel like Liu Zhiliang: "Since you still remember it clearly, don't fucking think about getting rich all day long." Finding gold does not mean that it has to be dug up now, and leaving it in the ground is a legacy for future generations. ”

"Of course, not all minerals cannot be mined, such as sulfur, uranium, and aluminum, and some of them must be mined when necessary. After all, if you want to fight a war now, you can't do it without resources. As the governor of Medan and the commander of the garrison, you have to manage your own territory. ”

"Also, your Davao City has to speed up the pace of construction, and it has to be done in a decent way. To the south is the Jewish Republic of Papua, and you can't make it so shabby that others look like they are digging coal. ”

"After the end of the war, this place of yours will be turned into a tourist city, and extensive cooperation with the Jewish Republic of Papua will be carried out, whether it is economic development, industrial science and technology, or military cooperation."

Liu Zhiliang nodded: "Boss, you've been away from the capital for more than two months, why haven't you gone back?" Yesterday, Premier Gan Tong sent a telegram urging you to go back. ”

"If you can go back, won't Lao Tzu go back?" Bai Shujie put his rice bowl on the table: "You must not go back now, and you have to publicize it to the outside world with great fanfare, Lao Tzu will stay here with you, planning to deal with the military problems of the little Japanese devils in the east." ”

"You're not done, you've been eating for two hours at a time!" Xiao Lamei hurriedly broke in: "Cui San'er has sent a telegram again." ”

Bai Shujie picked his teeth with a toothpick and asked, "How many batches of ships are this little devils?" ”

Xiao Lamei said impatiently: "This is the third time, and it is more than 30 troop carriers swaggering, and it is estimated that there are two wings of troops and equipment at one time. Not sure what you're thinking! ”

Bai Shujie asked with a smile: "What did you say about the war situation in our country last time?" ”

Xiao Lamei didn't think about it at all: "The new 38th and 22nd divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force conquered Mengguan on March 5, 1944, and then took Waruban. The new 22nd Division raided the headquarters of the 18th Division and captured the big seal issued by the 18th Division to issue combat orders. ”

"The new 22nd, 38th, 30th, and 50th divisions jointly besieged Myitkyina with the U.S. military. After the conquest of Myitkyina, the various units moved to rest. During this period, the new 22nd Division and the 30th Division were transferred to the domestic battlefield. Later, the U.S. military increased its strength, and the number of marines has reached 10,000. ”

"After a period of replenishment, more than 36,000 people from the 12th, 17th, and 19th Indian Divisions of the British Army, more than 20,000 people from the 1st and 4th Burmese Divisions of the British Army, and the 7th Armored Brigade of the British Army have also been replenished and put in place, ready to give the little devil a powerful blow."

Bai Shujie smiled: "Isn't this right, the two divisions in China are responsible for the defense of the northern flank of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and General Sun Liren really dares to kill the prisoners, and the little devil will definitely not dare to touch them." ”

"If my estimate is correct, the little devil will replenish the troops this time and add two detachments, and he will definitely attack the British army directly, and by the way, clean up the American Marine Corps. What do you think I'm doing in a hurry? What's there to be anxious about? ”

Liu Zhiliang is still a little worried: "The little devil has concentrated more than 120,000 people in the 15th Division, 18th Division, 31st Division, and 33rd Division, plus four battleships, five aircraft carriers, and seven cruisers, I think the British are enough." ”

Bai Shujie's judgment was correct, Hideki Tojo and Yamamoto Isoroku were forced to force the passage of the Taiwan Strait because they were taken by surprise by the Chinese-British-Burmese-Indian coalition forces two months ago, and the 18th Division suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed to replenish its troops.

At the same time, Hideki Tojo and Isoroku Yamamoto judged that Bai Shujie would not interfere too much in the battle between the Imperial Japanese Army and Britain and the United States, so they would take risks.

On May 27, 1944, Bai Shujie suddenly asked Zhao Meiyan to send a telegram: "Our Chinese Volunteers will test a long-range artillery in the next half month, with Taiwan Island as the center, within a radius of 1,000 nautical miles, and shells may fall." During this period, it is hoped that merchant ships of various countries will circumvent. ”

It turned out that Bai Shujie ordered the Academy of Sciences to set up a multi-stage rocket research center, and initial results were soon achieved.

This achievement is not the successful research of multi-stage rockets above the third stage, but the thrust of the original first-stage rocket has increased several times. According to theoretical calculations, the flight range should be about 750 kilometers.

This time, we will test a medium-range missile developed on the basis of the German V-2 missile.

To increase the range, a single-stage solid rocket engine is used for launch and acceleration, and a turbofan engine is used as a cruise auxiliary power, and the warhead is equipped with 1.2 tons of ordinary explosives.

How far the range is, this needs to be tested.

But Bai Shujie has not spoken out, and the experts don't know what their president means, so they are uneasy.

Last night, high-altitude reconnaissance planes sent back information that it seemed that a fleet from Pearl Harbor was moving westward.

This is not a good sign.

Bai Shujie's whole plan is to let the Japanese dwarf teach the British devil a good lesson in India. If the Americans come out to stir up the situation at this time, it will be very detrimental to the future national strategy of the Lanfang Republic.

The Americans must be made to stop, and they must not find trouble with the Japanese dwarf at this time, and do something to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and indirectly support the Anglo-American coalition forces in India.

Because of this, Bai Shujie ordered three "Yun-10" planes to transport the three test missiles to Taitung, and then they were to be tested on the edge of the island, and the launch direction was in the direction of Pearl Harbor in the east.

Bai Shujie issued an announcement in advance to attract the attention of American devils and Japanese dwarf Yan Zhan, so as to produce due deterrence.

As long as the American devils know, it means that the whole world knows, and this is Bai Shujie's purpose.

The game between the great powers, even if it is a cough, has a special meaning in it.

Although Xiao Lamei is smart and clever, this kind of strategic problem is not something she can figure out.

In this era, there was no binding maritime convention, and it was still within the range of Lao Tzu's cannons, all of which were Lao Tzu's territorial waters. ”

Therefore, Bai Shujie was also extremely arrogant, and specially dispatched a "H-10" six-plane formation, a "Jian-9" six-plane formation, plus an air command plane, to serve as the tracking and control team for this test launch.

Bai Shujie was also very concerned about this test shot, so he followed Xiao Lamei to the telecommunications room.

The radar relay station on Luzon transmitted the news of the air command plane in charge of tracking and control, and Bai Shujie commanded it remotely here.

"Verify that No. 001 has been put on the shelves! Launch Angle Hold! The power is on! Ready for launch! ”

Bai Shujie listened to the various instructions coming from the loudspeaker, and his face also looked very nervous.

"Ignition! Launch! ”

Forty-five minutes later, a cheer finally came from the loudspeaker: "Verify that the test launch of No. 001 was successful, and the first-stage booster missile body will automatically fall off, with an estimated range of 850 kilometers!" ”

Bai Shujie flipped through the technical parameters in his hand and verified that the launch weight of the No. 001 medium-range missile was 3.6 tons, the warhead was 1.2 tons, and the maximum engagement speed was Mach 3.8.

Three days later, two test missiles, 002 and 003, were launched, and the ultimate range of the launch at the maximum elevation angle reached 1,680 kilometers.

Although it is only 900 nautical miles, it is still far from the previously announced 1,000 nautical miles, but this is already a world record that can be made public.

Bai Shujie knew that the range of the German von Braun's missiles had exceeded 360 kilometers at the end of last year. Because the current radar level is limited, the means of measurement and control cannot keep up, so it is impossible to achieve greater achievements.

However, Bai Shujie has the means of unpredictable prediction, so whether it is fuel or engine technology, it is much more powerful than von Braun's complete self-exploration, and the range of missiles is naturally much larger.

According to the unspoken rules of the world, everything that can be put forward for public testing is actually a very mature thing, and the real killer feature will definitely not be loud and unleashed.

Based on this understanding, the Americans believed that Bai Shujie's missiles should have a range of far more than 900 nautical miles, and that the premeditated plan to attack Guam could only be aborted.

Bai Shujie and the Americans are fighting in the Pacific Ocean, and Hideki Tojo really doesn't eat dry rice.

Over the next week, the British in India finally tasted the great damage inflicted by the dying blow of the Japanese dwarf.

The Burmese Japanese army used the 33rd Division to hold on to the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Lashio, concentrated more than 70,000 people of the main forces of the 15th, 18th, and 31st Divisions, and launched a decisive counterattack against Kurami and Gyndepur.

The 17th and 19th Indian Divisions of the British Army, the 1st and 4th Burmese Divisions of the British Army, plus 2 British tank regiments, a total of more than 30,000 people, almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and fled in the direction of Khulna.

However, the Japanese dwarf used 2 battleships and 4 cruisers to rush up the river first, occupied Barisal, cut off the route of the Anglo-Indian-Burmese army, and then used powerful naval guns to carry out saturation bombardment.

The commander-in-chief of the British army, Major General Vivier, was killed on the spot, more than 10,000 people were killed, and the remaining 10,000 remnants of the army were defeated and captured.

U.S. Marines rushed to reinforce the line, but they struggled to move an inch on the Dhaka line to the north, as they encountered stubborn resistance from the 31st Division of the Little Devils.

At the same time, the Japanese fleet, which had already set out from Smith Island in three directions, directly pounced on Calcutta, Waldale, and Madras on the Indian coastline, and the powerful naval artillery fire did not give the British troops the slightest chance at all.

More than 200 carrier-based aircraft simultaneously carried out in-depth strikes, the British 12th Indian Division was completely annihilated, and more than 180 planes of eight squadrons replenished by the British army were all blown up on the runway.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
