Chapter 256: Crisis in Northwest Shanxi
Ping'an County, government building.
"Yamamoto Ikki, you have been surrounded. Surrender now and our Eighth Route Army will treat prisoners well!"
An hour ago, after Xie Baoqing told Kong Jie the news that the east gate was opened, Kong Jie decisively ordered the fifth battalion left to him by Li Yunlong to attack.
After the Fifth Battalion entered the city, it cooperated with the Independent Regiment to attack from both inside and outside, killing the Japanese on the city wall and some Imperial Army troops who did not understand the situation.
Then they rode at full speed and blocked Yamamoto Ikki, who was trying to break out, back into the government building.
"Baga, I knew the Imperial Army couldn't be trusted!"
Yamamoto Ikki cursed angrily as he listened to the triumphant shouting outside.
"What should we do now, Colonel Yamamoto? We are surrounded!"
The leader of the first combat team, Okamoto Bokuto, looked at Yamamoto Ikki and asked in panic.
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki was silent for a moment, then revealed a determined look: "Everyone, the Empire sent us to Germany to learn special operations in the hope that we can shine on the battlefield."
"Now we have died before achieving our goal, bringing shame to the empire!"
"Now let us use our blood to wash away the shame on our bodies!"
As he said this, he picked up his submachine gun and rushed out. Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers followed him without hesitation.
Yamato Soul Commando, there are no cowards!!
"Board, board!!"
"Hey, Captain, the little devils are rushing out and fighting!"
Kong Jie looked at the Japanese soldiers charging towards them and taunted them, "Then just shoot them and send them to see the cowardly emperor!"
"Da da da....."
“Snap, snap, snap…”
Faced with the strafing of light and heavy machine guns, Yamamoto Ikki and others, who were determined to die, fell in a pool of blood as expected.
"Clean up the battlefield and send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, asking if Ping'an County will be given up."
Kong Jie didn't even look at Yamamoto Kazuki who was lying on the ground. He turned around and gave instructions to the battalion commander.
"Yes."
In less than a moment, the battalion commander ran back.
"Report, the brigade called back and ordered us to leave one company to guard Ping'an County, and the rest of the troops to support the New 1st Regiment and encircle and annihilate the enemy reinforcements!"
At the same time, Commander Shinozuka, who was far away in Taiyuan, also received a farewell letter from Yamamoto Ikki.
"Colonel Yamamoto died two minutes ago. The Imperial Army cannot be trusted!"
"This is the final message from the Yamato Tamaki Commando. Long live the Emperor. This is the final message from Warrant Officer Goro Koshika."
After reading the letter, Commander Shinozuka angrily picked up his command sword, pulled out the knife and smashed a vase in the room.
"Commander, the most urgent matter now is not Yamamoto Ikki!"
Kusunoki Hideyoshi sincerely advised: "In order to save Yamamoto Ikki, most of the troops in northwest Shanxi have left their bases."
"Now that Ping'an County has been lost, the Eighth Route Army has begun a full-scale counterattack."
"Hey.....Order each unit to break out as best as possible!"
Commander Shinozuka sighed, slowly walked to the chair and slumped down: "Now we can only wait and see how bad the situation in northwest Shanxi can get."
"Shouldn't we send troops into northwest Shanxi to save the situation?"
Kusunokichi Hideyoshi asked in confusion.
"No need. If we send troops into northwest Shanxi, we will probably end up in a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army. By then, we may not even have soldiers left to defend the city."
............
Just when the Japanese army was about to lose control of northwestern Shanxi, Ribbent found Zhao Tianyang with a frustrated look on his face.
"Minister Zhao, you are right. The British really have something else in reserve. Our air force has suffered heavy losses!"
"Hah.....sorry."
As soon as Zhao Tianyang opened his mouth, he almost laughed. He quickly adjusted his mood and whispered.
"No one wants to see things develop into this state, but since it has already happened, we have to find a way to solve it."
"How about cooperating with us?"
"cooperate?"
Ribbent looked at Zhao Tianyang in confusion: "As far as I know, you don't have any research on radar at all!"
“Not yet!”
Zhao Tianyang showed a confident smile: "But as long as I start researching, our radar will immediately catch up with Britain and the United States in theory!"
"But if we want to turn theory into reality, we have problems with materials and talent, so we can only rely on you!"
"Ok!"
Ribbente nodded: "Minister Zhao, to be honest, I have already experienced how powerful you are!"
"But regarding the radar, can you give me some information so that I can convince those people in the country who don't believe you?"
"Easy to say!"
Zhao Tianyang took out a document from his arms: "This is magnetron radar, which is also the most advanced technology currently developed in the UK."
"Of course this is only a part of it, but it is enough to prove the truth of what I said."
"This is enough."
Ribbent flipped through the information and found that he couldn't understand it, so he could only put it away, stand up and say goodbye.
"Then I will submit this information first. If nothing goes wrong, there will be news in two months."
"no problem!"
Glass factory.
“Snap, snap, snap…”
Looking at the shattered glass caused by the pistol attack, Zhao Tianyang looked towards the glass factory and its director Lin Hua with dissatisfaction.
“Is this the bulletproof glass you made?”
"You can only block two shots?"
"Sorry Minister!"
Lin Hua explained in a low voice: "Bulletproof glass, there is only one college student in our glass factory who knows a little bit about it, so the progress is very slow."
"Forget it, I'll teach you!"
Zhao Tianyang waved his hand. To be honest, it was not their fault. After all, there was no information to refer to regarding bulletproof glass in China.
In the laboratory, Zhao Tianyang wrote the structure of bulletproof glass on the blackboard.
Bulletproof glass is generally divided into three layers:
1. Load-bearing layer: This layer is the first to bear the shock wave and is generally made of thick and high-strength glass.
Second transition layer: generally made of organic adhesive material, with strong bonding strength and good light resistance. It can absorb the impact energy transmitted by the load-bearing layer and change the direction of the bullet.
Three safety protection layers: This layer uses high-strength organic materials with good elasticity and toughness. It can absorb most of the impact energy and ensure that bullets cannot penetrate this layer.
"This time I'm going to teach you how to make bomb-proof glass!"
Zhao Tianyang wrote on the blackboard while explaining: "Generally speaking, bomb-proof glass requires two types of materials."
"One is tempered glass: high-quality ordinary glass is first heated to its softening point and then rapidly cooled."
"During this process, the surface of the glass will cool and harden first, but its interior will still be hot."
"As the interior cools, compressive stress is generated on the surface, giving the glass greater strength."
"The second type is the transition layer in the middle: generally made of polyvinyl butyral material."
"Specifically, it involves alcoholyzing polyvinyl alcohol to adjust its molecular structure and properties."
"After the alcoholysis is completed, polyvinyl alcohol and butyraldehyde are subjected to a condensation reaction under the action of a catalyst."
"After the condensation reaction is completed, it is necessary to purify, separate, and remove unreacted raw materials, by-products, and impurities to obtain polyvinyl butyral."
"The last two layers of tempered glass are sandwiched with a layer of polyvinyl butyral."
"A 40mm bomb-proof glass made in this way cannot be destroyed by conventional light weapons."
