The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 55 Preparing for War

One week later, Wei Yuan first went to Pengcheng to inspect and accept the customized drone. In addition to the sales director Oxley's team, there were also several engineers from the R&D department who received him this time to provide on-site technical explanations.

Looking at the UAV parked at the "Dajiang" flight test base with a wingspan of more than 15 meters, a length of 8 meters, a height of 3 meters, and a classic aerodynamic layout design with two tail struts, Wei Yuan was a little surprised. Isn't this true? Is it just a smaller replica of the Scorpion drone? At the same time, I am still sighing in my heart that the designer of "Dajiang" is really a fucking genius. This is directly holding the "Shunfeng" cargo drone and drawing a gourd. Scoop.

Oxley, who was accompanying him at the side, explained with a smile: "After receiving Mr. Wei's order, our colleagues in the R&D department immediately did a modeling design and found that the traditional four-rotor layout could no longer meet the load capacity of 1.5 tons. In addition, The construction period on your side is relatively tight. If we redesign another model, it will obviously be too late. In line with the attitude of being responsible to our customers, we have learned from the mature designs of our counterparts in Sichuan Province, so that we can complete it in such a short period of time. Design and production.”

"After testing, the data fully met Mr. Wei's needs in all aspects, and a sea search radar was added to the nose of the aircraft, with a maximum search range of 20 kilometers. It can also automatically set up sea skimming flight, and can fly along the preset The route continues to fly at an altitude of 20 meters above sea level, and considering the unfamiliarity of customers, we come with a drone simulation system, which can simulate the attack of the drone 1:1 through a computer. Release settings." Oxley almost said the simulated drone attack with a bald mouth.

Wei Yuan nodded: "That's no problem. UAVs are one of the best in the world. I still believe in the strength of your company."

In the following time, Weiyuan listened carefully to the explanations of the on-site technicians, especially the weapon hanging points outside the fuselage. After confirming that there were no problems, he notified Fatty Wang of Modu Trading Company on the spot and asked the finance department to transfer the balance to "Dajiang". "public account.

The cargo ship prepared by Fatty Wang was already in place at this time, and was ready to load the drone at Yantian Port and immediately go to Vladivostok to load the weapons and equipment purchased by Maozi.

Originally, Weiyuan only asked Fatty Wang to prepare a thousand-ton cargo ship. However, he found that after Maozi bought a bunch of "junk", the thousand-ton cargo ship was no longer enough, so he asked Fatty Wang to find a shipping company to replace it. A 10,000-ton ro-ro ship can meet the transportation needs.

After nightfall, a 10,000-ton cargo ship floating on the high seas stopped like a ghost ship near an uninhabited island. Although the cabin cabin was brightly lit, there was no one there. If you look closely, you will find that the cabin is full of... Rows of all kinds of weapons and ammunition filled the entire cabin. If someone reported it at this time, Interpol would definitely be called in, and then Mao Zi would be labeled as interfering in international conflicts with this batch of outdated equipment.

As before, following the instructions of the crew who had disembarked, Weiyuan first carefully checked every corner of the freighter through the monitoring room to ensure that there would be no stranded people on the ship. The crew on the freighter had already received a large sum of money. , transferred to a fishing boat, preparing to board the boat early the next morning and then drive the boat back to Yantian Port Pier.

After repeated inspections to confirm that there were no problems, Wei Yuan summoned the "system". After the entire ship's blue light flashed, all the various supplies that were originally full in the cabin disappeared in an instant. This was also due to the system's experience in nearly half a year. The repair carrying capacity has been greatly increased. Otherwise, based on the previous cargo capacity, it is estimated that Weiyuan would be busy until midnight.

Near Erdaolingzi Mountain to the west of Andong Military Factory, before Weiyuan traveled back this time, he specially sent people to build several large secret warehouses in a hidden valley. High walls closed the entire valley. It is tightly wrapped, with tall iron pillars standing on the top of the fence, and barbed wire between the iron pillars. There is a reinforced concrete guard tower every 200 meters, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

Permanent fortifications were built outside the warehouse and a company from the guard battalion was stationed. The guard company was only responsible for guarding the perimeter. No one was allowed to enter without Weiyuan's order, not even the guard company commander. Once someone was found to have broken in without warning, he did not need to warn him directly. Killed on the spot.

After Wei Yuan unloaded the equipment according to the classification, he put on his general uniform with a gold star and then walked out of the warehouse area. He came to the entrance of the warehouse area and picked up the dedicated phone reserved in the guard box. This phone directly connected to the peripheral guards. The duty room is manned by a dedicated person.

"I am Wei Yuan, please let someone open the outer gate."

Less than 2 minutes after hanging up the phone, there was a burst of footsteps in the distance, and then the heavy iron door in front of Wei Yuan was opened. The leader was a company commander from the guard battalion. It was clear that it was the guard. After Yuanhou, although he was very confused as to how his boss suddenly appeared inside the warehouse, he still followed the procedure of meeting the superior and stood at attention and saluted:

"Reporting to the division commander, Jiang Changgen, commander of the first company of the guard battalion, has been ordered to take charge of the Erdaoling warehouse duty. Please give instructions to the division commander!"

Wei Yuan returned a military salute and said to Jiang Changgen: "Prepare the vehicle and go back to the division headquarters, and notify the commanders of each regiment and above to come to the division headquarters for a meeting."

After the explanation, he followed the guard company commander to a Willis Jeep covered with a tarpaulin. Escorted by two trucks in front and one behind, carrying a whole group of soldiers, they drove at high speed towards the direction of Andong County.

As soon as he arrived at the division headquarters office and before he had time to rest, he heard personal guard Han Dazhuang announcing that all ministers had arrived at the division headquarters and were now waiting for the division to sit in the conference room. After a new round of expansion from brigade to division, the current main force of the 9th Division currently includes 3 infantry regiments, an Army aviation regiment, an artillery regiment, a tank regiment, a guard battalion, a teaching battalion, and an equipment department ( Regiment level), a logistics department (regiment level), and an intelligence center (regiment level unit) with a full strength of more than people.

However, not long after the expansion order was issued, less than half of the 2 recruits have actually been recruited. Basic training is currently being completed under the leadership of the training camp. It is estimated that it will take at least three months for all recruits to be recruited and to form combat effectiveness.

Although war is the best way for recruits to grow up, Weiyuan will not let soldiers without systematic training rush to the battlefield until the last step, because the casualties of new recruits will increase exponentially compared to veterans.

Before Wei entered the door, he heard buzzing discussions in the room, especially the loud voice of Yu Shaohu, who was newly promoted to the regiment leader. At this moment, he was asking the deputy division commander Yue Weilu beside him to inquire about the content of the meeting.

Yue Weilu could only smile bitterly in response. He was used to the commander who always wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He found that he, as a commander, would disappear every once in a while, but every time he disappeared, he could always bring him back. A batch of good stuff is coming, but I don’t know what surprises it will bring this time.

Yu Shaohu, who was originally a company commander, was promoted to the commander of the newly formed 5th regiment due to his meritorious service in the last battle of "Qingshangou". Yu Shaohu, who had only served as a small platoon leader in other teams, never dreamed of this. There is still a chance in this life to become a lieutenant colonel.

It was like smoke rising from the ancestral graves of his old Yu family. No... it was like sparks rising from the ancestral graves to describe Yu Shaohu's mood when he learned that he had been promoted to leader. His wife at home even asked Yu Shaohu for a photo of Zhang Weiyuan. Sooner or later, he would She offered a stick of incense to express her gratitude. It is estimated that Wei Yuan knew that Yu Shaohu's family was going to offer incense to him, so he would definitely have to go to Yu Shaohu in person to "thank" him in person.

Unlike other units that have brigade-level units, the 7th Division directly skipped the brigade level for the convenience of command, and the division headquarters directly commanded the regiment level.

The officers who hurried back this time were originally commanding their teams to build defensive fortifications in their respective defense areas. According to the combat strategy established at the last combat meeting, all the teams in the division shrank to the surrounding Andong County, forming a pin-shaped formation to attack the entire Andong County. Defend within a hundred or ten kilometers.

In this way, even if the defense in one direction is breached, the remaining troops can move to the designated area within 2 hours by relying on the roads that have been repaired in advance.

If the entire Dandong area is defended, the coverage of the team will be too large. In the event of an emergency, the entire 7th Division will be out of reach. Rescue can only rely on air power, and this time the Japanese have an aviation wing waiting for the 7th Division. The Army Aviation Regiment is still too weak.

As for whether some areas should be given up or abandoned, in Wei Yuan's words, if the land is saved, everyone will lose it; if the people who saved it lose their land, everyone will survive. Some bottles and cans will be left to the Japanese. As long as the industrial park and the vitality of the Seventh Division are preserved, the established strategic goal will be achieved this time. Next, the Japanese will face the counterattack of the Seventh Division.

As Wei Yuan entered the conference room, the originally lively conference room suddenly became quiet.

This time Wei Yuan didn't talk nonsense and directly signaled Han Dazhuang to distribute the documents in his briefcase to the participants one by one. When everyone was looking through the documents, Wei Yuan said:

"In order to cope with the large-scale Japanese attack this time, I specially obtained a batch of weapons and equipment through family connections in the United States. The specific quantities and models are on the documents in front of you. I have called you here to discuss this batch of equipment. "distribution method"

Just as Wei Yuan finished speaking, the conference room that had been quiet became lively again. Although everyone didn't know what kind of weapon a rocket launcher was, they couldn't calm down just by looking at the caliber written in the information.

For a time, the conference room was like a vegetable market, and everyone wanted to get an extra piece of the pie for their team.
