The address of the aircraft manufacturer was completely selected after a week of surveying and measurement.

Laura did not deceive Lao Tang in this regard, and the factory address was chosen in a mountain valley about 10 kilometers away from Tangjia Village.

It is only 3 miles away from the main road, and there is a mountain stream with abundant water in the ravine, which is enough to satisfy thousands of people's water. If it is summer, it can still discharge floods. The mountains on both sides are covered with dense forests, which has enough concealment.

According to Tang Dao and Laura's plan, the buildings on the surface of the mountain are mostly employee dormitories, and the factory and material warehouse are inside the mountain. In this way, even if the Japanese army obtains intelligence, they are not afraid of bombing with bombers. A ravine with a width of 300 meters and a length of 5,000 meters is enough to build a 3,200-meter runway. It can not only be used for aircraft flight tests, but also used as a temporary airport during wartime.

This is how the project volume is a bit huge. The construction funds invested in the early stage alone will reach US$15 million, and the time for putting it into use will be postponed to November next year, which will last for a year and a half.

Tang Dao roughly calculated that it was just at this point when Japan sneaked into Pearl Harbor to launch the Pacific War. The angered war machine will definitely drive at full capacity to build aircraft. This largest aircraft manufacturer in the Far East will definitely not be abandoned by them. A steady stream of materials and personnel will definitely arrive at the factory.

As the saying goes, "Sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood." It is no big deal to delay a year and a half. It is still early for the end of the war. In the remaining four years, as long as this aircraft manufacturer can build a thousand fighter jets, Japan will pay a much heavier price than in time and space.

Tang Dao decided on this plan, and all the technicians and Rockefeller's engineering staff stayed on the spot, and the Jinxi County Government also received an order from Shancheng: "Gather the efforts of the whole county to build the factory, each household has three or two, and the only one is the one who is in charge of the saddle!"

Jinxi County is a mountainous county, with a population of only more than 100,000. After several rounds of recruitment in more than two years, more than 10,000 people have been drawn. The order this time is extremely harsh, and almost all males aged 16 to 50 are caught.

In the past, there would be no crying, but this time every household was happy. The mother prepared a bag for her son, the wife baked big cakes for her husband, and the old and young men and women went to the entrance of the village to see off their relatives.

The county issued a notice to the villages and towns, and each coin had a weekly work fee of 3 yuan and 50 kilograms of fine rice. At that time, a fleet would help send it back every month. Each coin had a meal and a weekly meal, half a kilogram of noodles, two kilograms of meat, one kilogram of sugar, and half a kilogram of white wine. The corresponding clothes were distributed every quarter. Each coin had two rest days per month, and they could choose freely. Each coin had a week off every six months, so they could go home to visit relatives.

This food is full and warm, and you can earn rice and rice for your family every month. Not to mention that it is enough to support the family, even the food that you pay for saving the country is enough. How can the people be unhappy?

Although some people suspect that this is a lie told by the county government, news came from Tangjia Village that this factory was invested and constructed by the American good friend of the United States, and all funds and management were participated by the Americans. The county government only sent a security team to assist in maintaining public order and preventing Japanese spies from infiltration, without involving any distribution of money and grain. Moreover, Tangjia Village alone had 200 yuan, accounting for one quarter of the entire village.

The current name of the Tang regiment is a golden sign in Jinxi County. Especially under the publicity of nearly 100 officers and soldiers of the Jinxi Four Corps who returned home due to disability, the Tang regiment promoted in newspapers is not as good as that of the Tang regiment in reality.

Although they either lacked arms or had few legs, none of them regretted following Tang Tuanzhao to the battlefield.

Not each person brought back at least 300 oceans of serious injury subsidy, but they fought against Tongguan and Sizhou Mountain. They fought against old Japanese divisions, but the final result was that their former recruits won, and that was awesome enough for them to brag for the rest of their lives.

Especially a soldier who had to amputate his legs due to serious injuries to save his life, wearing his old military uniform without military rank every day and a gold and silver medal on his chest. He appeared at the entrance of the village in a thrilling manner, sitting on a chair and shouting loudly about the village guard training. He was not depressed because he was a severely disabled person.

The old soldier who had both legs wanted to challenge the authority of this soldier with his legs. He sat on a chair holding a black star pistol given by the platoon leader before leaving. He casually shot down a sparrow that was staying on the big tree 30 meters away, and asked the sparrow to blow it up and give it to him as a noon dish.

This is the soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment. Even if there are only half of them left, their spiritual will that have experienced the test of war is as strong as the Vajra.

Tang Dao also took time to visit the soldier who followed him behind his back to fight back to his position in the Battle of Sizhou Mountain. Tang Dao clearly remembered that the soldier's legs were swept by a Japanese machine gun, but he still crawled into the Japanese position and killed two Japanese troops with his gun, and was eventually rated as a second-class military merit.

However, because this hell-level crawling made his already bloody wound stained with too many bacteria. Even if he was given five times more antibiotics than ordinary people, it still could not suppress the wound infection. In the end, he had to choose to saw his legs to save his life.

The original intention of the regiment was to let him stay in the factory where he was stationed and wait until the war was won. After all, he had completely lost his ability to work like him, and he would rarely get married and have children after returning home. Maybe he would be disliked by others. The soldiers of the Four-Royal Corps could not be insulted, and no one could do it.

But the soldier insisted on going home. He didn't want to waste the funds in the regiment for nothing because of anything else. The 300 subsidy for serious injury and his military merit rewards provided by the regiment were enough for him to return home and raise his life.

Such soldiers are naturally worth visiting Tang Dao himself.

It was also under the efforts of this veteran and his comrades who had been promoting the Tang Dynasty's reputation in Jinxi County. Even if he was not recruited by himself, as long as he reported his name, Jinxi County would respond to it.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The county government issued a call for migrant workers on the 2nd day. The staff of Rockefeller Far East Branch walked out of the tent and looked in disbelief.

Teams of Chinese farmers carrying simple burdens are gathering towards their valley from various paths.

On the first registration day alone, 17,000 people came to 23 townships. By the next day, the total number of arrivals had exceeded 30,000, almost one-third of the total population of a county.

Not only men, but also more than 4,000 women, the main one was a young couple with young children at home. In order not to let the old father who was nearly 60 years old go to work, the couple gritted their teeth and simply threw the child to their parents. The couple all came.

Of course, there are also big girls. In order to earn more money for the family, the girl who was not yet married cut off her long black hair, put on men's clothes, and followed the village brothers and uncles.

In the original words of Mr. Lawrence, deputy manager of Rockefeller Far East Branch, "That morning was the most shocking moment in my life. The Chinese carrying a simple baggage and holding banners with village names were rushing from everywhere to the foot of the mountain. From a distance, it looked like a leaping stream flowing into here.

I have no doubt that I have given them enough tools to destroy the 400-meter-high mountain under my feet.

Oh God! This is just using the power of a county, and in China, there are thousands of counties like this!

What did the Japanese go crazy and try to swallow up such a country with a huge land area and population.

God bless me, I hope we will always be allies!”

Tang Dao failed to witness this grand occasion with his own eyes.

On July 28, Tang Dao received a news that shocked and extremely sad.

General Zhang died in battle!

The Battle of Zaoyi, which was supposed to have occurred in May, may be due to changes in the battlefield in North China, that the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Force Command had no time to take care of it. It was not until Tang Dao arrived in Shancheng that he approved the Japanese 11th Army's six-year combat plan.

The combat plan of the 11th Army of Japan was as usual. The purpose of its combat was: "Defeat the main force of the enemy's fifth war zone in the Han River and the Han River region, further weaken the Chinese army through the victory of the battle, and contribute to promoting the progress of political and strategic plans towards China."

The guidelines for the battle are: "Be prepared in the shortest period, first capture the enemy on the left bank of the Han River south of the Baihe River, and then completely eliminate the core enemy troops on the right bank of the river near Yiling."

It was just because of the unexpected delay that the Japanese army failed to launch an offensive before the rainy season came, but it coincided with the rainy season, which made the Japanese mechanized troops move slowly than usual, which is conducive to defense and not against attack.

After learning about this battle in Shancheng, Tang Dao contacted the 67th Army Headquarters and the 33rd Army Headquarters. After a brief analysis of the situation, Tang Dao repeatedly reminded General Zhang not to be too far away from the main force of the army, and to enhance his awareness of confidentiality, try to report as little or not to report the specific military deployment location, and reduce radio communications with troops at all levels to avoid the Japanese army's discovery of the position of the army Headquarters.

The main reason why the 33rd Army defeated Xiangyang in time and space was that the Chinese army was not confidential, and the telegrams between the Military Commission and the Fifth War Zone were intercepted by the Japanese army. The Japanese army also learned about the specific location of the 33rd Army from the telegram that General Zhang reported to the person who led the five divisions.

So the Somama and Ichiro decided to concentrate the forces of the 13th and 39th Divisions, head south along the east coast of the Han River, counterattack the 33rd Army, and ordered the 3rd Division south of Xinye to retreat to near Zaoyang and cover the rear.

The Japanese intelligence department also had long measured the outward contact information and location of the radio headquarters of the 33rd Army General Command based on the radio call sign and the direction of the radio wave. After learning that General Zhang's headquarters was about 10 kilometers northeast of Yicheng, the Japanese army surrounded this area with the cooperation of the aviation force.

That night, the 39th Japanese Division rushed into the Pumpkin Shop from Fangjiaji and the South Camp. The next day, the next day, the tactical encirclement of the 33rd Army General Command was completed.

With the support of artillery fire, the siege was besieged from all sides. The 74th Division of the defender fought bravely and continued to carry out counterattacks. In the afternoon, the special agent battalion also participated in the battle. At this time, the Japanese offensive troops had reached more than 5,000 people, concentrated artillery fire and troops, launched a general attack on the final position of the defender, and more than 20 aircraft assisted the battle.

General Zhang, who personally led the team to fight, was injured in many places and was still calm in command. The 74th Division and the Special Battalion were ammunition-making, and all casualties were killed. General Zhang was seriously injured in the chest and died heroically.

On that day, the 13th Division of the Japanese army also defeated the main force of our 33rd Army. The encirclement of the southern line had been broken, and the Japanese army immediately adjusted its forces and concentrated towards Zaoyang.

Faced with Tang Dao's personal persuasion, General Zhang called back: "I am a rare brave general in our army. I will read it carefully. I will advise you to take care of it yourself. Please do not worry too much. I will wait for the news of my victory in defeating the enemy. I will drink and chat with you in the future!"

At this time, there was a rainy season. The Japanese army was far less marching than before. In the fifth war zone, there were 350,000 troops. The special agent battalion of General Zhang's headquarters changed all the equipment due to the Tang sword. The MP28II submachine gun alone had up to 200 shots, 30 light machine guns, 30 grenade launchers, and 16 mortars. The firepower of each Japanese infantry brigade is not inferior to that of a Japanese infantry brigade in terms of distance and distance.

By the time Tang Dao left the mountain city and returned to his hometown, the battle of Zaoyi was still in a state of anxiety. The 33rd Army was sieging the 13th Division. If nothing unexpected happened, even if this battle was not won, it would not be defeated.

Who knew that in just a few days, the battle situation took a sharp turn.

General Zhang still led the headquarters to leave the 59th Army, the main force of his army, and only fought against the 74th Division under the 55th Army with only 6,000 people.

The Japanese army still detected the location of General Zhang's headquarters through radio. In order to eliminate this important problem, they actually gathered three divisions to attack the six divisions under the 33rd Army.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since the Military Commission judged that the Japanese army's attempt to advance westward was not to occupy Yiling, Xiangjun and Fancheng, but to seek the main force of the Fifth War Zone in the Zaoyang area east of the Xianghe River, and all the main force of the Fifth War Zone were deployed east of Zaoyang or Jing (men), and to fight the Japanese army to the south of the (yang) area.

As a result, the Japanese army suddenly attacked the 33rd Army, which was looking for an airplane to besiege the 13th Division, with two divisions outside. The Japanese army's troops suddenly expanded to more than 50,000 people, and aircraft assisted the troops.

The 33rd Army quickly recovered the aid, but most of the reinforcements were 100 kilometers away. The commander of the Fifth War Zone ordered Tang's troops to rush for assistance at night, but the Military Commission was worried that the Japanese army would siege the aid to destroy the previous strategic plan and were undecided.

It was during this three days of hesitation that the 33rd Army was forced to fight the enemy with 60,000 to 50,000.

Because the Japanese army had long determined the location of the 33rd Army Headquarters, they broke through the defense gap of the 33rd Army with nearly 13,000 troops of two detachments, completely cut the 74th Division from its main force, and formed an encirclement of the 74th Division and the 33rd Army Special Battalion with more than 10,000 troops.

As always, General Zhang personally carried a gun and led the civilian personnel and spy battalion of the headquarters to fight the enemy with bloody battles. He was finally shot in the chest and died on the spot!

Fortunately, this time was not like before. Because of its well-equipped equipment, the 33rd Army Special Service Battalion immediately organized a suicide squad after the commander died. Less than 400 remaining troops attacked the Japanese defense line, and 400 people died in battle and more than 360 were on the spot. Only less than one platoon broke through the siege.

The most elite guard unit of the 33rd Army brought back the body of his commander at the cost of 95% of his death in battle.

The 67th Army, which had just arrived from Yiling overnight, had just arrived in Jingmen and was less than 50 miles away from the battlefield. The commander of the Wu army, who was crying, shouted to the officers and soldiers of the 67th Army who were marching in the heavy rain: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The 67th Army launched a tide-like attack on the Japanese invaders the next morning, surrounding a Japanese detachment that had not yet been evacuated. With the bombing of more than 20 Japanese planes, three infantry divisions led more than 40,000 people to attack Japanese positions with less than 5,000 people in turn.

After one day of bloody battle, the Japanese invaders were wiped out at the cost of 12,000 in battle, and the biggest victory of China in the Battle of Zaoyi.

But so what? China's first army-level commander in the Anti-Japanese War died.

The news came out that the Fifth War Zone Command, led by the commander Li, took off his hat and paid silence. Minister He, who was sitting in a quiet building from the Ministry of Military Affairs, looked outside the window and said nothing. All the visitors were blocked outside the door throughout the morning.

Tang Dao rarely shed tears. Even in the Battle of Mouse Mountain, the two Sichuan Army companies killed nearly a thousand enemies at the cost of 95% of the casualties. He just stood on the top of the mountain covered with blood and blood with red eyes.

Because there, he was the general, and in front of his soldiers, he could not shed tears, even if his heart was so painful that it was almost thrusting.

But this time, Tang Dao shed tears.

In the carriage, Laura saw this man as hard as a rock for the first time, with her eyes closed but she burst into tears, like an abandoned child.

Tang Dao is not a general this time, but his younger brother, and his brother has already died in the battlefield!

Tang Dao thought he could change everything, but he was wrong. The ruts of history still moved forward so stubbornly, crushing his beautiful vision to pieces.

Tang Dao raised his head slightly, and he closed his eyes from beginning to end, but at this moment, he saw the kind-hearted brother nodding at him and smiling in the void.

"Death from the battlefield, this is my lifelong wish!" General Zhang still said after drinking the wine in the glass.

He hoped to prove his life's ambition with sacrifice, and he finally got his wish.

"I need a special plane. I want to welcome my brother's remains. In addition, I need 6 wildcat fighters. I want to pay the lives of the Japanese pilot to pay tribute to my brother!" Tang Dao opened his eyes and said softly.

"Okay! I'll help you!" Laura nodded without hesitation!
