Chapter 512: Restoring Tianjin
Although missiles and rocket launchers have certain connections, they are very different.
Because of this, Zhang Yunfei sent a special operations team of more than a dozen people two months ago to Germany under the leadership of several German Jews. Zhang Yunfei's target was Von Braun, the pioneer of human missile technology.
I don’t know if these special forces members and Jews can bring Von Braun and Zhang Yunfei allows the special forces to act hard, and they can use any means or cost. As long as they can bring Von Braun to China, it will be successful.
Germany's V-1 missile has been successfully developed and produced many more advanced V-2 missiles. However, I don't know what the situation of Von Braun is now, because the current history has changed a lot, and Zhang Yunfei cannot rely on the historical trajectory to infer what Von Braun is like now.
In history, Von Braun was arrested by the Gestapo, and the reason for the arrest was that he and his colleagues declared that they had never intended to develop rockets into weapons of war.
All the development work they were under pressure from the government was just to make money to do their experiments and confirm their theory. Their purpose was always to travel the universe. Therefore, Braun could be convicted of treason and shot.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei sighed in his heart, it would be great if Braun had been arrested and put into prison at this time. With the skills of these special forces, Braun, who was in trouble, would definitely be able to rescue him.
Thinking of the missile, Zhang Yunfei also felt that his base seemed to be full of talents, but there was still a long way to go from his needs, and the talents were still insufficient, especially the Chinese engineering and technical personnel that Zhang Yunfei wanted to see.
Now, with the gradual expansion of the base area of the 36th Army, the 36th Army's reputation is at its peak. A large number of technical talents from all over the country have flooded Taiyuan and Datong.
These people greatly enriched the technical strength of the base area, and combined with the talents collected by Jew William from all over the world, they had the strong and strong industrial and technological foundation of the 36th Army.
But these are far from enough. Compared with Western powers, there is still a big gap, and this gap may take many years to catch up.
Now, in order to cultivate his own talents and to improve his scientific and technological level, Zhang Yunfei has begun long-term plans, and Zhang Yunfei has formulated a special talent plan.
First of all, universities in Peking, Tianjin and other places should speed up their resumption and development. A few years ago, with the outbreak of the war, many famous schools in Beijing, Tianjin and other places moved south. Now, with the restoration of the Beijing-Tianjin area, these schools should be on the right track.
Through schools, through hard work, and to develop education, a large number of talents are cultivated, although it takes a long time. However, this is the best path. China's science and technology still has to be supported by the Chinese.
After leaving Qinhuangdao Ship Design Institute, Zhang Yunfei and his party took the plane and headed to Datong together. Before leaving, Zhang Yunfei slightly encouraged Comrade Xie Zhendong, the commander of the 5th Column, to say that the 5th Column must protect Qinhuangdao, protect the naval bases, military ports and the "Datong" aircraft carrier under construction in Qinhuangdao.
***************
It was already noon when I returned to Datong.
After waiting for the plane, Zhang Yunfei took the off-road vehicle that had been prepared long ago and headed straight to the 36th Army Commander-in-Chief Comrade Liu Dazhu, the deputy commander-in-chief who was left in the command center, greeted him with a happy expression.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief! Hello everyone! All columns have sent good news, and Tianjin City has been completely restored."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei, who was determined and calm in encountering things, had a happy smile on his face at this moment.
At this point, the Beijing-Tianjin area was completely revived. In addition, the formerly revived Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Qinhuangdao, Tangshan, Chengde and Zhangjiakou have expanded the bases of the 36th Army, and more than half of the big cities in North China have been controlled by the 36th Army.
The other senior executives of the 36th Army next to him, when they heard that Tianjin was restored, everyone was far from calm as Zhang Yunfei.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, immediately asked with concern: "Old Liu! How are our results this time? Have you found out?"
Comrade Liu Dazhu immediately said happily: "Based on the results reported by each column, our Group Army Command has a brief statistics. It is estimated that this time we will restore the Beijing-Tianjin area, and we will wipe out more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers, more than 10,000 puppet troops, captured more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 60,000 puppet troops. As for weapons, equipment, materials and money, it is still under statistics, but it will definitely not be missing."
"Our columns are advancing very quickly. Many Japanese institutions in Beijing and Tianjin areas, such as banks, trading companies, foreign banks, etc., were confiscated and seized by us before we could withdraw them. Many Japanese civilians in Beijing and Tianjin areas were also captured by us, and there were nearly 10,000 of these Japanese people."
Upon hearing this, everyone applauded! Unexpectedly, the revival of Beijing and Tianjin area this time was so great.
Comrade Liu Dazhu saw that everyone looked good, and began to seek Zhang Yunfei's opinions: "Commander-in-Chief, what should we do with these captured Japanese civilians? In addition, our soldiers also sacrificed tens of thousands of people. Should we replenish the troops?"
Zhang Yunfei smiled coldly and said, "These little Japanese are not good birds. If you interrogate them all, you will be punished severely. If you should be shot, you will be shot. If you should be forced labor, you will be forced labor."
"As for our own troops, we will add it again this time. We still have more than 10,000 new recruits, and we will add them to each column immediately. In addition, Lao Zuo, your general staff will come up with a plan. I am going to add another infantry division of our columns. Each column will be expanded from the previous two infantry divisions into three infantry divisions."
After hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, everyone agreed. Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, was also very happy. Now, with the expansion of the base area again, the 36th Army should also expand again.
However, this time, it was a bit beyond everyone's surprise to expand ten infantry divisions in one go. Half a year ago, more than 100,000 people had just been expanded, and this time, more than 100,000 people were expanded.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief General Officer, said with joy and admiration: "Commander-in-Chief, we will expand ten infantry divisions again this time, and our total number of troops will reach the 600,000 mark.
Zhang Yunfei nodded. This was also forced by the situation. If the Japanese were to completely drive out of China, they would have to expand the size of their troops again.
In addition, the 36th Army now has no shortage of weapons, ammunition and funds. After a series of battles, the grassroots officers of various troops have completely grown up, and the time for another army expansion is fully ripe.
Zhang Yunfei did not make too much careful arrangements about the expansion of the army. It is not the first time that the 36th Army has expanded its army. It has rich experience. Zhang Yunfei just instructed him to do a good job of publicity before recruiting troops and select the best candidates when recruiting troops.
As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, immediately patted his chest and said, "Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, our General Staff will arrange the formation of these ten infantry divisions properly. At that time, I will report to you in person."
Zhang Yunfei nodded and gave several instructions.
First, the 36th Army will soon completely restore the Beijing-Tianjin area, annihilate more than 200,000 enemies, sank two Japanese destroyers, destroy two cruisers, seize the record of an aircraft carrier, and report it to the central government immediately.
Second, use radio, newspapers, etc. to promote this victory, let the people of the whole country know about it, and let everyone share the fruits of this victory.
Third, after each column rested for a day, the 4th Column stayed in Beijing and Tianjin areas, and the 5th Column stayed in Qinhuangdao, and the 2nd, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10th Column continued to move south to restore Cangzhou, Hengshui, Dezhou, Xingtai and other places.
Zhang Yunfei's instructions, the meticulous records of several combat staff at the command center, and the senior executives of the 36th Army also looked serious and listened carefully.
After Zhang Yufei finished speaking, Comrade Liu Dazhu, the deputy commander-in-chief who stayed in the group army command today, seemed to remember something, and then said: "Commander-in-chief, a special operations team lurking in Zhengzhou sent a message that a large number of Kuomintang troops gathered around Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei and Chief of Staff Zuo Qingquan remembered something at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Chief of General Staff Zuo Qingquan said cheerfully at the same time: "Commander-in-Chief, this time Jiang Jiang also wants to beat the dog in the water, and he wants to find the bad luck of the Japanese."
Zhang Yunfei nodded softly and sighed: "As we have wiped out more than 200,000 Japanese devils in Beijing and Tianjin, more than half of the Japanese's main forces in the North China Front Army have been eliminated. This time, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to pick up a cheap one and win several big cities such as Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunfei continued: "Comrades, this large-scale attack on the Japanese devils is a good thing for us. This will accelerate the demise of the Japanese devils in North China. I think in the near future, if it is fast, it will only be two or three months, and if it is slow, it will not exceed half a year. The entire North China will be completely restored."
***************
The intelligence provided by the special forces was very correct. After several days of preparation and mobilization of troops, the Kuomintang's First War Zone had mobilized more than 20 infantry divisions and two artillery regiments to assemble around Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places.
This time, Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone, and Wei Lihuang, commander of the First War Zone, personally commanded the front line, and the war was about to begin.
