Pei Zhan was at the base at the back of Hangzhou Bay, but he had been paying attention to the situation in Shanghai.
The front was tight, and the flames of war were extremely fierce!
The Japanese army took the initiative to attack, and with the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements, they turned back to defend.
The Japanese began a large-scale attack.
In September, the Japanese's main force attacked the left Luodian position, and the 159th and 160th divisions of the national army were all killed.
The national army on the left flank had gradually moved from the first line of defense to the second line of defense.
It was already October, and the Japanese navy and air force had joined forces with the ground forces to launch another attack.
The Japanese's 11th Division, 3rd Division, 9th Division, 13th Division, and 101st Division attacked Guangfu and Chenjiaxing on the north road, and Dachang and Nanxiang on the south road, respectively, in an attempt to cut off the communication between the Dachang and Jiangwan area defenders and the outside world, making them a lone army.
A few days ago, the national army's 8th Division, 59th Division, 61st Division, 67th Division, 77th Division, 90th Division, and the tax police regiment withdrew from their positions one after another. They were locked in a stalemate with the Japanese army on the south bank of Yuzao River.
However, Pei Zhan knew that the Japanese would break through sooner or later!
"Time waits for no one!"
"Once the city falls, the Japanese army will cut it repeatedly!”
"At that time, the national army's defensive position will completely collapse!”
At the outskirts of Shanghai, there were already troops retreating to the second line of defense.
Whether it was the second or third tier, Shanghai was still under protection.
The situation was getting more and more tense.
It wouldn't be long before the Japanese army began to increase their troops and land to break the stalemate.
The coastline of Hangzhou Bay would become the last hope of the national army.
Hangzhou Bay was not a small place. On the coastline that was dozens of kilometers long, his troops could only defend one area.
Once the coastline of Hangzhou Bay was lost, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army would face a pincer attack. It was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
More importantly, the Japanese could also choose to land in Jiaxing.
The battlefield was ever-changing, and anything could happen.
"I need to make this move alive!"
How?
Just these 5,000 independent brigades?
Forget it, let's build the war chariot factory first!
First, he would deal with the German tank No. 3.
These two types of tanks were used together in the German system. The No. 3 tank was fast and suitable for tank warfare.
However, the tanks before 1940 were too weak. Their armor and firepower were not as strong as those at the end of World War II.
The reason why Pei Zhan chose Tank No. 3 was that he was not a tank.
It was because the German system had left room for improvement in this type of tank.
At the beginning of World War II, the No. 3 tank was only equipped with a 37mm main gun, which was indeed very weak. However, the German army actually intended to use the No. 3 tank to attack enemy tanks, so they ordered a 50mm tank gun.
However, the German Army Ministry believed that the No. 3 tank did not need a 50mm cannon in the face of the backward equipment of the polish army, and put the 50mm cannon plan on hold. However, the turret ring design of these No. 3 tanks equipped with 37mm tank guns still reserved space for the replacement of 50mm tank guns.
However, in this period, no matter how they changed it, it could not be compared to the Tiger and Leopard tanks.
In Pei Zhan's plan, Tank No. 3 was just a temporary product to deal with the Japanese.
One had to know that Tank No. 3 was the pioneer of blitzkrieg.
When the base was upgraded, he could also modify the tanks.
As for the second type of tank, Pei Zhan chose the No. 4 tank.
The 4th tank could be used as a self-propelled infantry cannon or as a tank.
Originally, the German army had the intention of using the No. 4 tank on the self-propelled infantry cannon, so in 1938, the technical positioning of the No. 4 tank C was established.
Using the 75mm tank cannon with high explosive shells, it had a strong killing power against infantry and enemy fortifications. Moreover, the armor was 30mm thick, and the mobility was not bad. It could also be equipped with a vehicle radio, which could completely get rid of the ancient flag signal command battle.
Germany was still able to do this. They had coordinated infantry and tanks to the extreme.
……
The war chariot factory was finalized.
Exchange for materials to build the factory.
Truckloads of materials were transported over from outside the base. Under the leadership of the system construction engineers, workers and soldiers moved them...
Looking at the bustling scene.
Pei Zhan felt more or less relieved.
"Old butler."
"I've finished reading Second Brother's letter."
"It's time for me to entrust you with some matters.”
The old butler, Zhou Bingguan, did not leave because Pei Zhan had instructed him to pass a message to the second master of the Pei family.
Therefore, Zhou Bingguan was still waiting for Lord Fourth's response.
"Fourth Master, please speak."
Zhou Bingguan quickly lowered his head.
"In my base, there are German, Soviet, and American people.”
"I also brought you to visit the factory in my base. You saw it for yourself. My base can not only produce guns and ammunition, but also artillery shells.”
"I also brought you to the battlefield hospital to tell you the truth. I have a lot of drugs that are in short supply on the market, such as sulfuric acid, asprin, disinfectant, painkillers..."
"Just tell me what you saw.”
"Tell him that this is my property and also the Pei family's property!”
"He's a smart person. He should know what to do!”
Pei Zhan said with a smile.
Once the base was built, the guns, ammunition, cannons, and medicine would all be valuable.
The second master of the Pei family was a smart person.
Some of the equipment that he could not use could be sold to others through the second master of the Pei family and exchanged for money.
