Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"Together!"

These professors agreed without any hesitation. They looked at the people present and they were very excited, but some of them could not understand the reason for their excitement.

Li Yunlong immediately arranged vehicles and rushed towards the missile landing point.

"Commander, do you want to report this to the rear headquarters?"

"Well, reporting to headquarters, the experiment went smoothly, and we are heading to the site to evaluate the results!"

"it is good!"

The car drove on the mountain road for about several hours and finally arrived at the final destination before dark.

The landing point was a valley, which was originally a village, but was abandoned after the Japanese invaders came. It was exactly two hundred kilometers away from the launch site.

At this time, the abandoned village was surrounded by troops and no one was allowed to enter. After Li Yunlong arrived, he brought a group of professors and staff into the village.

"This? Was this caused by the missile that was launched earlier?"

Principal Mei looked at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open, somewhat unable to believe it.

Li Yunlong nodded and pointed to the large crater and destroyed houses not far away. "The warhead is still not powerful enough. If we continue to research, we can launch a missile from thousands of kilometers away and destroy half a city!"

Li Yunlong walked into the crater, observed the crater left by the explosion, and looked at the explosion area. "Director Jia, can the power of the explosion be increased? It would be best if it could penetrate armor or even penetrate underground buildings?"

Director Jia is Jia Xiaohou, who is now the director of the Explosives Research Laboratory of the Heiyunshan Research Laboratory.

"Can it penetrate underground buildings? How many meters underground?"

Jia Xiaohou stepped on the bomb crater, which was about three or four meters deep.

"About ten to twenty meters, specifically for dealing with underground bunkers."

Li Yunlong had in his hand a blueprint of the underground bunker of the Japanese imperial palace, which was about twenty meters underground and provided a refuge for the Japanese locusts.

"This requires a specially designed warhead. If we're going to blow up an underground bunker, the ground damage might not be enough, but it must be able to penetrate about thirty meters underground. The best way is to rely on the warhead to smash down. Do you have any ideas for conquering this?"

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Jia Xiaohou thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, there should be no problem, but it may take some time to realize it."

Li Yunlong nodded. There was no rush for this kind of thing. "There's no rush for time. Take your time to study. If you need anything, just ask for it directly!"

"it is good!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the professors at the United Nations University and said, "This is the purpose of inviting everyone here. This weapon is currently named a missile, but this is the most primitive version. It is still a little different from the missile I envisioned."

"I hope that one day missiles will be able to reach a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, and launched from our homeland, they will be able to hit any location on the planet. This is what it means to 'Whoever openly offends the mighty Han will be punished, no matter how far away they are!'"

Hearing this, the professors became excited. Although they had not seen the missile that Li Yunlong mentioned that could hit a target of tens of thousands of kilometers, they saw a missile that could hit a target of two hundred kilometers today.

They had no goal before, but now they see the goal.

"General Li Yunlong, this is already remarkable!"

"Yes, we never thought there would be a weapon that could reach hundreds of kilometers!"

"..."

Hearing the professors' praise, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I, Li Yunlong, am good at fighting, but I am not as good as you in researching weapons. We are short of manpower now, and I hope you can come and help us. However, missiles are a confidential project after all. If you want to join, you will be on my ship, Li Yunlong, and it will be difficult to get off in the future."

Chapter 673 Falling into a Trap

"I am willing!"

"General Li Yunlong, count me in!"

"Count me in too!"

"And I!"

"..."

A group of professors expressed their willingness to join. Even if they had some other ideas before, today they truly saw hope, the hope of a country's rise.

Seeing that all the professors he brought were just throwing meat buns at dogs, Principal Mei glanced at Li Yunlong and said, "General Li Yunlong, what are you going to do with my old bones?"

"President Mei, you're joking. You're still young, not old. Could you please support the professors and students from the United Nations University to visit and study here?"

Principal Mei is a treasure, and Li Yunlong has to worship him. Not only does he have the Boxer Indemnity on him, and funding is provided wherever he goes, he also has a wide network of contacts, and he has a high prestige in the United Nations University. With just a word from Principal Mei, the students of the United Nations University will follow Principal Mei's lead.

"I'm afraid you can't leave even if you come here?"

Li Yunlong patted his chest and assured: "I can come and go freely here!"

Not far away, Jia Xiaohou heard this and stumbled, almost falling. "Free to come and go?" This sentence sounded familiar to him.

"Okay, as long as you don't force them to stay, I can recommend students and teachers to come over. But we at the United Nations can't afford the gas."

Li Yunlong immediately shouted to Monk Wei, "Monk, send a telegram to Arshan immediately and mobilize two Pei-8s to Spring City!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Professor Mei and said, "Professor Mei, these two planes are reserved for the use of the UN. Feel free to come over anytime you want."

"Two Pegasus 8s? I've looked into this aircraft, and it's not cheap."

"The students and teachers at the United Nations are the most valuable. If C53 were not truly unable to be transferred, I would have transferred C53 here!"

Principal Mei was very satisfied with Li Yunlong's actions. Through Li Yunlong's actions, it can be seen that Li Yunlong attaches great importance to the United Nations University, and the students and teachers of the United Nations University will not be wronged if they come here.

"Principal Mei, I remember quite a few students went abroad to study, right? They were learning physics and chemistry, right?"

Principal Mei nodded and said, "The largest portion of the Boxer Indemnity is used to fund outstanding students to study in the United States each year."

"Then after they come back..."

Principal Mei immediately understood what Li Yunlong was planning: "I'll ask them to come and see it when we return."

"Thank you, Principal Mei. Here is a list. If it's convenient for you, you can write some letters to them and ask them to come back after they finish their studies."

Li Yunlong handed over a prepared list, all of which were great names of later generations.

"Great job on intelligence work!"

Principal Mei pushed up the frame of his glasses and said with a smile, "This is not for future development."

Principal Mei said nothing as he put the list away. "Also, don't let Xiao Zhu go to places like Tongji. I'm familiar with those schools. I'll speak for you. Xiao Zhu is a good kid. Let him return to the army. I can see he wants to."

Xiao Zhu is Zhu Junwei. After the successful experience at the United Nations University, Li Yunlong asked Zhu Junwei to go to Tongji University in Lizhuang, ready to repeat the same trick.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Thank you, Principal Mei!"

After the story was told, Principal Mei and others walked around the village to check the specific circumstances after the explosion.

They are all very curious about this weapon. Even if they find some fragments, they will dance with joy and come up with some strange ideas from time to time.

Looking at the expressions of these professors and experts, Li Yunlong smiled. These were the real experts and scholars.

"Hey, it wasn't easy. I finally tricked them all back!"

Li Yunlong had been coveting this group of experts and scholars from the United Nations for a long time. He had used various means, and today he was finally able to make them work for him.

Looking at Jia Xiaohou who was currently thinking about the bunker buster, Li Yunlong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so anxious. Take it one step at a time. Besides high-explosive bombs, we can also research other things, such as incendiary bombs and cluster bombs. These things should be put on the agenda. If the bunker buster really doesn't work, then forget it."

Compared with other types of warheads, bunker busters are much more difficult to use. They either rely on the warhead to smash down or the metal jet. Either way, the technical requirements are not low. Li Yunlong does not want to put too much pressure on them.

Jia Xiaohou silently recorded all of this in his notebook. "The technical difficulty isn't too great. I'll just go back and study it. Commander, how's our nuclear research going?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Jia Xiaohou suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Huh? How did you know?"

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jia Xiaohou closed his notebook. "When you got married, you talked to me about nuclear weapons. After Korolev came, I talked to him about it. He said you mentioned it too. There's no research on this topic at Black Cloud Mountain. I think if we haven't started research yet, we should start now."

"According to some books I asked someone to bring back, some experts in Europe and America have noticed this thing and are probably secretly researching it."

After listening to Jia Xiaohou's words, Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "Can you do research now?"

Jia Xiaohou smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I have only read some theories. If you want me to start studying it..." Jia Xiaohou shook his head.

"Well, you finish the work at hand, and then let Jia Fei take over your job. Wait for my notification when the time comes, and we'll prepare to study nuclear weapons!"

Hearing this, Jia Xiaohou's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay!"

Jia Fei is Jia Ji's elder brother and the eldest son of Jia Xiaohou. Jia Xiaohou's two sons learned two skills from him, one is metallurgy and the other is gunpowder. Jia Fei learned gunpowder and his level is not low, so he can take over Jia Xiaohou's job.

Since Jia Xiaohou has noticed the nuclear issue, Li Yunlong plans to bring him into Miss Qiu's plan, so that there will be another expert in this area in the future.

Among the list that Li Yunlong just gave to Principal Mei, some are experts in this field. Li Yunlong did not find them before because, firstly, there was no channel, and secondly, the situation was unstable. Now the situation has stabilized, and the research has entered some critical moments. Li Yunlong needs the help of these people.

After inspecting the explosion site, Li Yunlong led his men back to Ping'an County, and handed over the remaining work to the members of the missile research group, who were responsible for the subsequent data collation and collection.

In the car, Li Yunlong drafted an encrypted letter, recorded the missile launch process in detail, and handed it to a guard. He then took some things he had prepared for Xiuqin and the children during this period and sent them back on a plane returning to the rear headquarters tomorrow.

After a short rest in Ping'an County for one night, Li Yunlong rushed back to Fengtian to continue his work because Kota Kotera had sent him a copy of the Japanese battle plan.

Chapter 674: Prepare to Devour Eight Japanese Divisions

An hour ago, 171st Division.

Since capturing Gastilovich, Kota Kotera has been heading towards Khabarovsk without stopping.

The journey was smooth.

Entering Siberia from Outer Mongolia, after arriving in Chita, prepare to take the train to Khabarovsk.

However, just when Kotaro Kotera was about to go to Birobidzhan, he received bad news that Birobidzhan was captured by Kong Jie's troops of the Second Column under Li Yunlong.

Now the entire Japanese Kwantung Army is leaderless.

Kouta Kotera made a quick decision and immediately took the train to Khabarovsk.

By the time Kota Kotera led the 171st Division to successfully recapture Khabarovsk, Kong Jie's troops had already retreated.

Kota Kotera could only contact the headquarters and report the news that he had recaptured Khabarovsk.

Afterwards, Kota Kotera received a commendation order, was promoted, received the commendation from Tianhuang, and won two medals. In addition, he was promoted to lieutenant general as an exception.

Kota Kotera's position also changed. He was promoted from the original commander of the 171st Division to the commander of the th Division.

Although the 171th Division has been completely destroyed, the th Division, the reserve division of the th Division, is still there. In addition, most of the st Division is composed of Osaka people. Kota Kotera has now become the hope of the Osaka people.

The newly formed 171th Division was based on the th Division, supplemented by the st Division, and consisted of two divisions.

It has a force of 30,000 men, including four infantry regiments, one artillery regiment and one tank regiment.
