96 Katyusha and Bazooka

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I can't let you work in vain.

Please take the money, I will need your help later.

If you don’t accept it, I won’t dare let you do anything.”

Ye Qingshan pushed the money over again and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ye Qinglan accepted it.

"Ashan, if you have anything else for me, just tell me."

Ye Qinglan was full of energy at this time.

“Starting tomorrow, Third Brother, you will be in the city, recruiting a group of workers.

Especially in the city, look for workers who used to work in the arsenal.

In addition, tomorrow morning, several senior experts from the Arsenal will come from Wuhan.

Please help me pick them up and put them away.

I will leave the city tomorrow to reorganize the army."

Ye Qingshan instructed Ye Qinglan.

"Okay, it's just a small matter, leave it to me."

Ye Qinglan agreed readily.

By November 11, news of the Japanese invasion had spread throughout the city, causing panic among the people.

It’s just that there was the precedent of the Battle of Shanghai.

Although the people in Jinling City were panicked, there was no large-scale escape.

These naive people still thought that the Japanese would not do anything too extreme.

After all, Shanghai has now been occupied by the Japanese, and the people there are having a hard time.

But you can survive.

Under such circumstances, most of the people in Jinling City naturally chose to stay.

After all, they have no money and cannot compare with those powerful people who can escape at any time.

Ye Qingshan looked at the people on the street, sighed helplessly, and felt very painful.

Knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing.

Ye Qingshan couldn't tell anyone, after all, if he wanted to say that the Japanese invaders would carry out a massacre when they entered the city, he would need evidence.

Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to ask hundreds of thousands of people in the city to flee with their families just based on Ye Qingshan's words.

Ye Qingshan could only proceed according to the plan he had planned before.

Ye Qingshan returned to the temporary 36th Brigade's base and ordered the entire army to move its base outside Taiping Gate.

It took Ye Qingshan a whole day to complete the preliminary splitting and reorganization of the Provisional 36th Brigade.

The Seventh Military Police Regiment was handed over to Zhou Pingkou, and was composed of the backbone members of the original Third Battalion, including Lu Dahai, Hei Xiong, and Zheng Quezi.

The 36th Guard Brigade was headed by Sun Mingxu, with Xie Jinyuan as chief of staff, and Zhou Xinghai, Wang Dachuan and others as regiment leaders.

In fact, it is impossible to complete the reorganization of more than 7,000 people in one day.

Ye Qingshan only met with Zhou Pingkou and others, gave orders, and told them the plan of splitting and reorganizing.

Just let them do it on their own.

Ye Qingshan returned to the city overnight.

He rushed to a hotel, where he met the arsenal experts from Wuhan whom Ye Qinglan had met.

"Old Yan!"

Ye Qingshan was at the dinner table, toasting the oldest man.

"Thank you for your hard work. The situation in Jinling City is very critical now and the Japanese may attack us at any time.

I admire you for being willing to come here from Wuhan.

I toast to you.”

"Colonel Ye, you are too serious.

At my age, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to serve my country again.

It is our duty to resist the Japanese invaders!"

Old Yan stood up and everyone drank it all in one gulp.

These veteran arsenal experts were specially invited by Ye Qingshan from Wuhan.

There is no large arsenal in Jinling City, only a small arsenal.

Now it has all been moved.

Ye Qingshan had no choice but to hire someone from Wuhan.

There is a large arsenal in Wuhan, and people like Mr. Yan were once senior technicians of that arsenal.

Ye Qingshan originally wanted to give it a try, not knowing whether these people would come.

After all, Nanjing was being attacked by the Japanese at that time and was in great danger.

Unexpectedly, these old men, all over 60 years old, received the invitation sent by Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan was very touched that they came without stopping.

"Master Yan, I have designed two weapons, please take a look.

You are an expert in manufacturing and I need your guidance."

Ye Qingshan took out a few drawings from the briefcase that Han Xiaofei was carrying and handed them to Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan took the drawing, put on his reading glasses, and started looking at it.

Several other senior experts also gathered around and studied it together.

"This weapon is amazing!"

Soon, Old Yan exclaimed.

Then he looked at Ye Qingshan and asked in surprise: "Colonel Ye, did you really design these two weapons?"

At this time, Ye Qingshan could only thicken his skin and nodded: "Yes."

“I really didn’t expect that Colonel Ye has such a talent in weapon design.

Although these two weapons are very simple and crude.

But it’s also very clever and practical.”

Old Yan gave extremely high praise to the two weapons designed by Ye Qingshan.

This was within Ye Qingshan's expectations.

Because these two weapons are the famous Katyusha rocket launcher and bazooka rocket launcher in later generations.

Mr. Yan was particularly full of praise for the bazooka, a portable artillery that can fire directly.

“I plan to make these two weapons to fight against the Japanese tanks.

And used as battlefield support firepower."

Ye Qingshan said with a smile.

On the Songhu battlefield, Ye Qingshan saw that the National Army troops suffered the most losses at the hands of the Japanese invaders.

They are the Japanese armored forces and the Japanese heavy artillery forces.

In Ye Qingshan's opinion, the Japanese's tiny tanks were really easy to deal with.

If it were in Europe, the Japanese's tiny tanks would be like moving iron coffins if they really went to the battlefield.

But unfortunately, for the National Army which lacked heavy firepower, the situation became very difficult to resolve.

Every time in order to stop the advance of the Japanese's tiny tanks.

The soldiers of the National Army needed to rush forward with explosives and die together with the Japs' tiny tanks.

Ye Qingshan swore at that time that he would retreat to Jinling when conditions permitted.

He must get out the Molotov cocktails and rocket launchers in advance.

At that time, it will be very easy to deal with those tiny tanks of the Japanese.

Molotov cocktails don't require any technical skills and can be made at any time.

However, in order to manufacture the bazooka in Jinling, a lot of conditions are required.

Just for a seamless steel pipe, Ye Qingshan had to ask Uncle Lin to purchase it from foreigners.

This is the tragedy of an agricultural country.

"Good weapon, really a good weapon."

Old Yan was already deeply involved in the issue, and kept discussing it with several of his colleagues.

Ye Qingshan was nearby and didn't bother them.

Half a day later, Ye Qingshan finally asked, "Old Yan, if I can prepare the materials for you.

Can you build both weapons?"

It was easy for Ye Qingshan to copy the design drawings of the Katyusha rocket launcher and the Bazooka rocket launcher from the Internet.

However, Ye Qingshan really didn’t know how to make it.

We can only count on these veteran arsenal experts.

“It should be no problem. The biggest advantage of these two weapons is their simplicity.

Even if there are no conditions for an arsenal.

But if you have industrial machine tools and the materials are ready, it is not difficult to make it.

But you still need to try it yourself to know the details.”

Old Yan said solemnly.
