May 8th.

Morning.

Warehouse area.

"What is this?"

"Vest!?"

After receiving the news from Huang Baowang, the person in charge of logistics, the monk left the training ground of the special squad and came to the storage area alone.

Calling him here just to give him a piece of clothing?

Although it looks quite thick, it should be quite warm.

But it's now May, and the daytime temperature is over 20 degrees! It's a little colder at night, and it's five or six degrees at most, so what does it mean to give a vest alone?

On Boss Chen's side, two kilograms of fine grain for a pound of cotton, tank business, shooting down devil planes, killing pilots, and killing devil technical troops, you can get food, and the price is getting higher and higher.

As far as he knew, with all the grain warehouses in the base area full, there were now more than 18 million tons of grain that had not been delivered to Boss Chen.

Under the massive supply of cotton, the headquarters quilt factory, Ping'an County quilt factory, Heyuan County quilt factory, Shou County quilt factory, four compete with each other, full start, high-quality and inexpensive cotton clothing all over the base.

Not to mention the independent regiment, who else can freeze in the base area of the entire army now?

After opening up the passage to the south, finished cotton clothes and cotton began to be sold in large quantities to Chongqing and other places. Even because of the extremely high quality of Boss Chen's cotton, orders have been placed abroad.

It is said that the monthly tax revenue generated by the cotton cloth business alone is more than the annual expenses of the army in the past.

"What a vest, this is body armor."

Huang Baowang rolled his eyes:

"This is high-tech equipment provided by Boss Chen, which is equipped with bulletproof steel plates and a material called Kevlar, which can resist the shooting of shell guns within five meters."

"Body armor?"

Hearing that it was equipment, the monk suddenly came to his senses, snatched it over, checked it in his hand, and found that the weight was not light, but it was lighter than expected, and it was nothing to him, so he put it on his body directly, and then hurriedly asked:

"Anything else?"

Body armor is a good thing.

On the battlefield, I am most afraid of stray bullets.

This thing can't be avoided at all, the ghost knows where a stray bullet suddenly flew in, and the death was extremely unjust, the 38 big cover, the Mauser rifle, this kind of gun that uses full-power bullets, the bullets fired are still lethal from a distance of 1.5 kilometers.

With body armor, the probability of surviving is much greater.

Some of his team members are in need of it. According to the plan of the regiment headquarters, after half a month, the special squad has a big mission, and with this thing, the casualties can be reduced a lot.

"There are eleven in the first batch."

Huang Baowang waved his hand:

"The rest were sent to the front line for testing, this is the last one, and the next batch will be in June."

The level of science and technology represented by body armor materials is very high, and the restrictions are relatively large, so it cannot be provided in large quantities at present.

"Oh..."

The monk touched the body armor on his body and asked:

"Anything else?"

"It's gone."

Huang Baowang waved his hand and motioned for the monk to get out of here.

He's busy.

There are many things that he needs to deal with in the construction of the new warehouse, and for so long, a large number of materials have been stored in the independent regiment, and he has a lot of experience in the construction of the warehouse, and he has found the previous shortcomings, and he needs to organize technical personnel to make targeted improvements.

"Hey, hey, hey, then I'm leaving."

The monk left happily, leaving the warehouse area, he rode on the three jumpers and galloped all the way to the training ground.

When he passed by Zhao Jiayu's regimental headquarters, he was stopped by Deputy Commander Xing here.

"Monk, have you been free lately?"

Deputy Head Xing asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

The monk replied.

Wang Gensheng led people to the coastal areas to develop the base, he is now the deputy leader of the special squad, but the special squad has not had a task recently, and there is still half a month left for the next mission, and he really has nothing to do.

"There are 50,000 food stamps here, help me send them to Zhang Wanhe, where he needs it urgently, the regimental headquarters guard unit just has a task today."

Zhang Wanhe handed over a sealed package.

"Thirty thousand? Yes. ”

The monk was stunned for a moment and nodded.

30,000 grain stamps can be exchanged for 30,000 tons of rice, white flour and other fine grains, 20,000 tons of coarse grains, or 10,000 tons of high-quality cotton in the Zhao Jiayu base area, which is a large amount of material and can make a person worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

The wealth is very moving, and half of this transportation task is carried by many people in the guard unit, so it is no wonder that he will be found.

Bring the food stamps, stick the two desert eagles into the holsters attached to the body armor at the back of the waist, ride the three jumpers, tighten the accelerator, and the monk rushed towards the logistics department where Zhang Wanhe was.

······

Around noon.

Shanghai.

A small fishing village thirty miles to the north.

"Captain Wang."

Mr. Wen, who was in his forties and was dressed in an overcoat, walked in with an excited tone:

"The 'fishing boat' has been built and has undergone sea trials, and there is no problem at all."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Wang Gensheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he got up directly.

He's been here for a long time.

After getting the sound self-guided torpedo and arriving here, Wang Gensheng immediately contacted Mr. Wen to set up a base and recruit people to ambush the devil's transport ship according to the information given by Boss Chen.

As soon as I heard that it was an attack on the devil transport ship, a group of men who were familiar with water signed up.

But Wang Gensheng is still small in the ocean.

In the middle of the night, even with accurate charts, even with skilled sailors who are well versed in water, they still failed, let alone attack the devil transport, and they didn't even see the shadow of the devil transport.

Unwilling to return in vain, the crowd aimed at a small transport ship of devils.

But the attack plan was thwarted again, and after the torpedo was fired, it did not hit the Devil transport, but disappeared quietly, and on the way back, the ship hit the reef and was damaged.

The plan, which had been prepared for more than two months, failed, and everyone thought about their own problems.

The core reason for the failure was equipment problems, but also lack of experience.

Because the devils wantonly shelled the fishing boats of the Republic of China in the coastal areas, they could only use small wooden fishing boats powered by sails, set off with a torpedo, drifted with the tide on the sea, and it was difficult to control, and they did not arrive at the destination according to the predetermined plan, resulting in missing the attack time.

Secondly, they had no experience with the new weapon, and they forgot to adjust the depth data, or they still used the depth fixation that was prepared to attack the 10,000-ton giant ship, which caused the torpedo to pass through the Devil transport.

After learning the hard way, the people then began to organize their forces and prepare to build a new ship.

Using a tank engine, the 330-horsepower diesel engine is full of power, the propeller manufactured by Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory, the large wooden hull, imitating the shape of the devil's patrol boat, and the torpedo magazine is reserved on both sides, codenamed 'fishing boat'.

After two months of construction, the fishing boat was finally built and underwent sea trials at night without any problems.

In addition, Mr. Wen also found his 25-year-old son, Wen He, who had served in the Republic of China Navy, and more than a dozen lost former Navy soldiers who joined the team.

The crowd also studied the sound-guided torpedo in depth, and went through the instructions for use and the technical outline and details.

"The devil's warship is still there, right?"

Wang Gensheng asked.

According to their observations, the devils parked an old warship with a displacement of nearly 800 tons at the mouth of the Huangpu River, which is said to be the same old goods from the last war, and the fuel is coal, which was sent to guard the transportation line and protect the transportation of fuel from the country.

"Yes, I've been adding coal recently, and it's estimated that I'm going to leave in a few days."

Mr. Wen replied.

"Okay, we'll kill him tonight."

Wang Gensheng flashed sharply.

According to Boss Chen's new business, as long as they take out a devil warship, they can get two torpedo boats, as well as more advanced acoustic torpedoes that use metal tubes.

······

Same day, same time.

Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory.

With the establishment of the steel plant, the original steelmaking plant was streamlined, the old steelmaking facilities were removed, leaving only two high-power electric furnaces, and today's machinery factory is mainly responsible for the research and development of new technologies and new equipment.

For example...

At this time, in the open space outside the machine plant, a half-track armored car was parked.

Different from the general half-track armored car, the car in front of me is not the appearance of carrying and transporting, but a long gun barrel, the tail is a huge base, on both sides are sleeves for storing shells, and there is a pulley mechanism in the rear, which should be responsible for lifting the gun barrel function from the structural point of view, and has a motor drive.

"160 self-propelled mortars!"

"The new products of Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory are all designed and manufactured by our own technicians."

Sun Desheng confidently introduced:

"Using the half-track armored vehicle turf and the 160 mortar gun body gun mount, we combined the two together, and the servo motor was used as power, which completely solved the problem of insufficient mobility of the 160 heavy force."

"This cannon can complete the transfer of positions and deploy the artillery within five minutes at the earliest, and the ammunition compartments on both sides are loaded with twenty-two shells."

"Not bad."

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction.

Although the 160 Heavy Pressure is powerful, the biggest problem is that it lacks maneuverability and may not weigh much, but because of structural problems, it is very troublesome to transfer positions, and loading and shooting are slow.

"Actually, we originally wanted to combine the No. 4 tank and the 240 heavy force, but we encountered a lot of technical problems, mainly due to the lack of structural strength and the high failure rate of the bomb delivery system, which has not yet been solved."

"Because the level of demand is not high, I didn't ask the master for help."

Sun Desheng touched his head.

Putting the cannon on the tank was easy to say, but when he sat up, he realized that this thing was not an ordinary difficulty, and he had been busy for many months, and all kinds of problems arose, and the things that came out were completely useless.

The integration of both weapons requires a lot of experience, which is what they lack the most.

"Don't rush, take your time."

Li Yunlong patted the new 160 self-propelled mortar and said with a smile.

The foundation has been laid, and the high-end technology is supported by masters, and all they need is time to learn and grow.

"Yes."

Sun Desheng gave a military salute.

"What's the capacity?"

Li Yunlong asked.

General civil fortifications, and even a few concrete bunkers, 125 howitzers can deal with it, and this artillery can also shoot straight and flat, which can be called all-rounders, but a few solid thick concrete fortresses, semi-buried civil deep fortresses 125 are not powerful and need to be solved by larger caliber heavy artillery.

240 is too heavy, difficult to maneuver, and overflowing power, this thing is against a permanent fortified fortress, and 160 power is enough in normal times.

"The parts are all ready-made, we can weld and assemble them, and we can produce fifteen vehicles a month without affecting the production of other equipment."

Sun Desheng said.

At present, the machinery factory and the newly established iron and steel plant are combined to produce all kinds of machinery and equipment for various factories in the base area, and only a small part of the manpower can be freed up to do this.

"Okay."

Li Yunlong is quite satisfied with this figure.

In the case of bomb truck bombshells, this self-propelled heavy gun does not need much.
