From to 1935 2020

"Several parts of the torsion bar on the No. [-] car are seriously deformed. Several parts of the torsion bar connecting parts of the No. [-] car are deformed, and the No. [-] car is in good condition."

Koshkin looked at him with trusting eyes and nodded: "Huang, I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, the progress of the A20 plan would not be so smooth."

Koshkin, a 40-year-old designer, speaks the truth.

Starting from Kharkov this time, he brought three tanks of different weights: 20 tons (No. 1 and No. 4 vehicles), 26 tons (No. 2 and No. 5 vehicles), and 32 tons (No. Two models each.Along the way, one of each model just happened to break down halfway due to mechanical failure and fell behind.

Among them, the No. 57 car, which weighs only 42 tons, is significantly smaller than the other two cars, and the caliber of the artillery loaded on it is also significantly smaller than the No. [-] car. The equipment on it is the [-] mm caliber, [-] caliber tank gun.

The No. 2 car is equipped with a 76 mm caliber/43 times tank gun.

As for the 32-ton No. 85 car that barely completed the long-distance march test, although the car body was designed for the [-]mm tank gun, because the gun has not been developed yet, so it simply added iron weights to the car body. Test to the limit.

An hour later, the fourth test vehicle, another 20-ton "light" tank, also drove to the destination on its own. By the evening of the same day, the other two lagging tanks also arrived one after another.

Three days later, the long-distance marching tanks performed a test performance in front of Stalin after maintenance and rest. Among them, the best performance was the 57-ton No. 76 and No. [-] vehicles. The No. [-] vehicle was installed with [-] tank gun, while the No. [-] car is equipped with a [-]mm howitzer.

Afterwards, after reading the test report submitted by Koshkin, Stalin asked:

"Can the first batch of A20 tanks start trial production?"

"Basically there is no problem. With Huang's help, some hidden mechanical problems were found and solved."

Koshkin looked at Huang Ke beside Stalin and nodded.

Huang Ke also reported to Stalin: "After all, it is only a 20-ton car body, and the problems that need to be solved are much less than those of the 26-ton and 32-ton cars. With the wealth of a small Japan, this car will not be outdated against them until the defeat. It's just a pity the diesel engine isn't ready yet."

"Then start production immediately! The Far East is in great need of new tanks. Both the T28 and BT[-] are too fragile, and the biggest enemy of the T[-] is yourself. The tank soldiers of the Red Army need your excellent designs very much."

Then this tank that was approved to start mass production was named T50 tank by Stalin. In the battle order of the Soviet Red Army, it was characterized as a "light tank"-a 20-ton "light tank".

As for another "26-ton" tank that is solving the problem of residual mechanical structure, it has obtained the future serial number in advance: T34.

Historically, before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Soviet Union did develop the T60 light tank. Its standard weight is only 34 tons, but its armor defense is comparable to that of the T70. Its main gun is [-] guns and its maximum speed is [-] kilometers per hour.Whether it is in the tank games of later generations or in history, its performance measurements can be called a perfect "magic car"-the only disadvantage is that the cost is extremely high, and the production cost is comparable to T[-]. (mainly because of its ghost animal engine power Powerful, but extremely expensive) In the end, only [-] cars were built, and the production was discontinued because of the outbreak of war.

And this plane, because of the appearance of Huang Ke, this T34 was manifested in advance as a simplified version of the T59 tank after being modified by Koshkin. The relationship between the two is that It is similar to the relationship between the Chinese Type 62 tank and the Type 34 light tank.People in Koshkin's design team, on the basis of the completed but not perfect T[-] prototype, "properly" reduced the design, and came up with this shrunk "T[-]" light tank.

Due to the large weight reduction, the [-]-ton car body did not solve the problem, and the [-]-ton car body directly "healed without treatment".

In order to speed up the progress, Da Huang Ke made a special trip to Finland, went to the scene to "touch" the only existing T50 tank in the world, and also got the design drawings of T50 and T54 from Russia to have a good look again.

In order to ensure that the car can be mass-produced in advance, it is still in the testing process. Huang Ke personally visited the Kharkov factory to test with the car, which is to use his own ability to discover in advance various hidden mechanisms that appear in the car while driving. Fault.With his help, the improvement process of the T50 tank was quite rapid. It took less than eight months from the initial project approval to the first round of acceptance and the start of small batch trial production.

Compared with the historical car of the same name, it weighs six tons more. The engine uses the same gasoline engine of the BT57 tank, but the main artillery is replaced with a newly developed 55mm tank gun. The maximum road speed reaches [-] kilometers per hour.

The evaluation given by Huang Ke is: the overall combat power is higher than the 50/60 diameter long-tube No. 7 tank of Germany in the future. Even if it encounters the No. 10 F76 tank, it can fight on par. It can be used to deal with Japan's future [-] tanks. For the Qiha tank, the [-] gun with a shortened barrel is still a little too powerful.So after the incident, he suggested that Stalin follow the standard of the No. [-] tank and focus on mass production of the anti-infantry model-anyway, if it is hit by a [-]mm grenade in the front, it can also directly blast the frontal armor of the future Type [-] tank. (Historically: BT[-]A tanks use L[-], the same [-] howitzer)

Huang Ke's proposal coincided with the request made by the Soviet Army in the Far East, and Stalin approved it on the spot.

On August [-]th, seeing another "advanced equipment" being born ahead of schedule, Stalin was in a very good mood, and held a reception at the Kremlin that night.Stalin, who had been abstinent from alcohol for half a year, broke his vow and raised his wine glass in a rare way.

And on August [-], two foreigners from Norway came to the Soviet Union and brought another good news to Stalin.

They came to look for Huang Ke. After meeting, the two told Huang Ke that he had been unanimously approved by the Norwegian Academy of Sciences to win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics because of his research on semiconductors and the invention of the transistor. This is a Chinese Winning the Nobel Prize for the first time.

The "big plagiarist" Huang Ke was able to win the Nobel Prize in Physics so smoothly, thanks to two people.

One is Stalin.

After the war broke out in April, transistor radios entered the Far East for the first time.The aircraft, tanks and ground infantry of China and the Soviet Union used this equipment extensively, but during the war, many radio stations fell into the hands of the Japanese army for various reasons.

At that time, after the Japanese army got the lightweight transistor radio, they were all shocked.Then some radio stations first flowed into the hands of Germany, Japan's secret ally, through various channels, and then Britain and France also got samples.

With regard to the transistor, Stalin did not want to keep it secret from the start.The reason is simple: Germany's biggest advantage in the early days of World War II was its radio advantage. Stalin hoped that Britain and France could complete corner overtaking like him, and equipped transistor radio early to erase the German advantage in this regard. Don't want to keep it secret.

When the war broke out in April, he had people publish a lot of papers related to semiconductor and transistor manufacturing internationally in the name of Huang Ke, which caused a sensation in an instant.All of a sudden, Huang Ke, the "number one CCP spy", became a "technical celebrity".

In the identity files that Stalin and the CCP jointly forged and made public for Huang Ke, Huang Ke was a high-achieving student who graduated from Moscow University in the Soviet Union ahead of schedule. Semiconductor research was his major. It was purely an "accident" to go to China as a spy, and scientific research was the key. His main business - this is evidenced by his short teaching experience at Jiaotong University in his early days and the famous "Huang Ke's Two Hundred Ways".

Another person who pushed Huang Ke to the altar of the Nobel Prize in Physics was Huang Ke's old friend Mr. Pierre Dupont.This shrewd and greedy capitalist, after having tasted the great sweetness of streptomycin harvesting, learned that the couple Huang Ke and Elena had made another "revolutionary" invention, and he immediately thought of: another But the hype is great, and the opportunity to make a big harvest in the stock market has come.

In June, Pierre Dupont flew to Moscow and approached Stalin to discuss the transfer of transistor technology.As in the case of streptomycin, the Soviet Union was also facing an empty manufacturing theory at this time, but could not solve the production problem of mass production of semiconductor materials.The core materials of the transistors manufactured now are all transmitted from rhubarb from the 21st century-in this era, in fact, even 20 years later, those things may not be able to be manufactured.

At that time, Huang Ke said to DuPont very conscientiously: "We have only mastered the technology of small batch production in the laboratory, and there is still some distance from industrial mass production."

However, the old DuPont, who had already tasted the sweetness of financial harvesting, would not believe his words. He laughed and shook his head: "It's not important, it's not important! What's important is that this is a brand new selling point and a big theme that can be financially hyped what!"

That night, the most black-hearted capitalist on the planet, and the leader of the worst enemy in the eyes of the capitalists on the planet, once again clinked glasses in the Kremlin, smiled, and were very happy with each other.This situation not only reminded Huang Ke of the scene where the bearded man and the mustache signed the "Soviet-German Nonaggression Pact" in the future.

"Well, I also have a share in this matter, it's so sweet..."

Afterwards, he sighed to Stalin and Elena: "This is the limit of capitalism! After developing to the stage of financial capitalism, the big capitalists discovered that the money earned by working honestly is not as big as playing financial magic tricks." The harvest comes quickly. In the future, the United States will be like DuPont. While enjoying the joy of financial magic harvesting, in just 20 years, it has degenerated from a top power in the world to see who is weak, and degenerated into deindustrialization Seriously, even the special steel used to build the Golden Gate Bridge has to be imported from foreign countries.”

And Stalin replied: "In the future, I will record this matter in the textbooks so that the next generation of the Soviet Union will know."

Two days later, Pierre Dupont left happily, and then arranged contacts, used the relationship, and continued to hype the topic of transistors, insisting on blowing up the transistor as a fetish that opened the door to the third industrial revolution-in this matter, he It's not wrong.

Although during this period, there was no equipment for manufacturing transistor materials, but after Huang Ke informed that he could provide hundreds of kilograms of ready-made transistor materials at one time, which was enough to manufacture hundreds of millions of transistors, the old DuPont immediately pulled a The partner built a leather bag factory, claiming that it was a transistor factory built in the United States with the introduction of Soviet technology.

——But in fact, this factory is like a factory in the Soviet Union. For the time being, within two years, it can only rely on the core materials provided by Huang Ke to "hand-rub" to produce transistors.

What happened next was a repeat of the last streptomycin hype: hype the subject, build a "fake" factory, and then go public with social financing... Another wave of financial harvest began.To match the hype, the first radios made of transistors will also be available in the United States this Christmas.

As participants in this dirty harvest plan, both China and the Soviet Union followed the American consortium for a share of the pie: the Soviet Union received more transfers of "American non-performing assets" as compensation, and the CCP received "an old friend of the Chinese people" With a large amount of "anti-war donations" in hand, all three families are happy.

During this period, the Western world discriminated against the Chinese very much.The inventors of the transistor historically did win Nobel Prizes too, but they were white.Elena won the award because of her blond, blue-eyed, "pure-blood white" appearance, which can be easily recognized.

Huang Ke was not so easy to win the award, but in order to increase the future stock price, under the secret push of the American consortium, the so-called Soviet semiconductor laboratory headed by Huang Ke easily won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year .Huang Ke, who was in Moscow, also received invitations to speak from many European national academies of sciences.

Unlike another colleague with the surname Chen who also had the same name as Ke, Xiao Huang Ke still has some integrity in this matter. He was very embarrassed about his "plagiarism and winning the award", but Stalin told him: "This is what you deserve. It is also necessary. The socialist camp must reflect its superiority over capitalism, and must compete in everything from the system, ideology, scientific research, and military affairs. In another time and space, many reasons for our failure are due to these Where soft power is lost.”

When Huang Ke was in Moscow, whenever he was free, Stalin would call him over for a chat, and asked him about what happened during the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.After chatting a lot, he also gradually understood that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was not only responsible for Gottu alone, but also figured out where the Soviet Union lost.

"Just like Japan will be consumed by us, the Soviet Union will also be consumed slowly. Not only did it lose in the economic confrontation, but also lost in the ideological confrontation and cultural confrontation."

In the Kremlin, when the two discussed this topic, Huang Ke expressed his views.

"We regard the Nobel Prize too sacred, and we have lost it, because it means that we agree with the "standard system" established by capitalist countries. In the future, the Nobel Prize will increasingly become a tool for the capitalist world to manipulate ideology. This thing can improve national self-confidence in the short term, but after the start of the Cold War confrontation, the capitalist world will gradually realize its role and make secret manipulations, after all, they are the referees.”

Regarding the issue of the right to speak in international public opinion, both Stalin and Huang Ke knew what was going on, but this kind of thing was actually a "public conspiracy", and although they had a headache, they could do nothing about it.

In any case, Huang Ke, a Chinese who won the Nobel Prize and is still a member of the Communist Party, caused quite a stir within the Communist International.In the next few days, Huang Ke received various congratulatory messages from comrades from various countries.

But Huang Ke's joy of winning the Nobel Prize only lasted until August 26.

On this day, he received a telegram in Moscow that the Second Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Songhu suffered an "unidentified bomb attack" and many Japanese ronin were killed.

The Second Division asked to enter the nearby Kuomintang-controlled area under the pretext of hunting down the murderer, and then had a military conflict with the local defenders.

The Battle of Songhu broke out.

-------------------- Chapter 246 Depressed and Joyful People --------------------

In the historical battle of Songhu, Chang Kaishen, who had the advantage of local combat, initially faced only [-] local Japanese troops plus a few thousand armed expatriates.After ten days of fighting, the Japanese army was not completely wiped out.During the period, the Japanese army made a fake negotiation and let him stand still, missing a good opportunity

Ten days later, the first batch of over 60 reinforcements dispatched by the Japanese army from the country arrived, and then Chang Kaishen, a prodigal idiot, did the most stupid thing he could do, which was to throw troops from one division after another into the On the edge of the beach, the Japanese naval guns wiped out a large number of camps one by one.The army of more than 5 fought against the Japanese army with 1 divisions and 13 brigade of 33 troops. In the end, more than 5.5 people were killed and injured, while the Japanese army died 1 and injured [-].

It seems that the ratio of casualties seems to be very good, but at that time, all the elites of the warlords in the country participated in the battle. Among them, the essence of the Northeast Army and the Hunan Army were almost exhausted in this battle. At the expense of the German weapon masters, he successfully borrowed the hands of the Japanese to use his blind commander to manipulate all the capable fighters who were sincere in the war of resistance in the country, and all of them were cheated.

As for the Battle of Songhu in this plane, before the war, the Japanese army had quietly deployed the elite troops of the Second Division in the Songhu area, occupying Pudong in advance as a future landing site.Including the marines and armed expatriates in the concession, the total strength of the Japanese army in the Songhu area had exceeded 25 before the start of the war on August 3.

In the Pudong area, Japan not only has an astonishing number of garrisons, but also has multiple airports and placed a wing of air forces.

Compared with Chang Kaishen's rare move in history to surprise the Japanese first, and then rush to send reinforcements from China, before the second division of this plane "walked alone", there were three people in the direction of the nearest Taiwan alone. A division of the Japanese army is ready to go.

Ando Iji's solitary walk was just a "solitary walk" deliberately indulged by the upper echelon. In fact, when he will act and how he plans to act, the Tokyo headquarters is very clear.

When the so-called "attack on the Japanese garrison" happened, the combined fleet led by the battleships Nagato and Mutsu of the Japanese Navy had already escorted the Fourth Division to support the fleet in Shanghai, which was only one day away from Shanghai. .

Less than a day after the start of the war, the carrier-based aircraft that took off from the Chicheng and Kaga aircraft carriers had already flown over Songhu to provide air support to the Japanese army in the fierce battle.

The war started on the 26th, and the first batch of Japanese troops landed in Chuansha Town and Wusongkou in the early morning of the 27th.And that night, the troops of Wei Lihuang and Tang Enbo, who were on the front line in Songhu, began to encounter fierce bombardment from Japanese naval artillery at this time, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

It is a characteristic of warlords to habitually let their miscellaneous direct descendants die first, and Chen Jitang is no exception.After the collapse of the Chang Kaishen regime in April, Tang Enbo and Wei Lihuang, the two "top regular" generals who stood up to the last minute, were recruited by Chen Jitang after the war, but in Chen Jitang's eyes, they were "not good enough" to surrender at the last moment. The two who know each other become thorns in the eyes.

Tang Enbo's thirteenth army, called the army, actually only had the dilapidated Wanxu people at this time.It was even worse for Wei Lihuang. His two direct line divisions, Song Xilian, ran quickly and took a division to join the Hunan Army. He, Chang Kaishen's diehard, was left with only Leng Xin's incomplete No. [-] Fourth Division.After the war, Chen Jitang rewarded the meritorious officials and shared the loot, so naturally he would not look favorably on a "short-sighted" guy like him.

Out of the need to buy people's hearts, he did not deal with the two of them immediately. On the surface, he kept the establishment, and the military pay was "strictly" according to the existing "human hair", and there was no chance of giving them empty pay and expanding the army Keep.Four months passed, and although the two held the title of army commander, the number of troops under them only decreased but did not increase. The combined strength of the No.13 Army and the Fourteenth Army, which were at the forefront when the war started, was less than 2. .The majestic Central Army (formerly) has poor equipment, insufficient ammunition and morale is very low.

Facing the onslaught of the Second Division of the Japanese Army, the troops with insufficient weapons, ammunition, and morale barely resisted for a day before being on the verge of collapse. On the 27th, as the Japanese Navy joined in the support, the first wave of reinforcements arrived. The two armies collapsed and were forced to retreat.In the following days, more Japanese troops landed in the Songhu area.

By September 8th, three divisions and one brigade of Japanese troops had entered the Shanghai-Hangzhou area, with a total strength of more than [-] troops, and the number of subsequent troops was still increasing rapidly.

During this period, Chen Jitang's troops in Zhejiang were not strong.The main force that really belongs to him is only the 62nd Army, and the rest are all Chang Kaishen's troops that were incorporated after the capture of Nanjing, with a total of more than 4 troops.From the time he entered Nanjing in April to the start of the war with the Japanese army, he only had four months to integrate. During this time, most of his energy was spent on subduing all parties and integrating internally. ——It's not that they didn't do it. For example, Qiu Qingquan was asked from the Red Army to help form the armored regiment, but there was simply not enough time.

When the Second Division launched the attack, the Kuomintang troops in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area added up to less than 10 people, and less than [-] people could really be called the main force of Qinghua.

As for the troops of the other Guangxi faction, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were smart at this time. After they failed to compete with Chen Jitang for power in April, the two also saw that the Japanese in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area were a great threat. It was not very popular with the Shanghai-Hangzhou gentry and the internal forces of the Kuomintang. As early as June, it withdrew its core troops to the southwest of Nanjing, deliberately avoiding the front line of confrontation with the Japanese.

Little Zhuge Bai Chongxi didn't have great wisdom, but he had a lot of ghost thoughts. He also sensed the danger here, and took a step back early.When the Songhu war broke out, the Guangxi troops were [-] kilometers away from the Shanghai-Hangzhou front line.As for the Northeast Army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, because the Japanese navy blocked the mouth of the Yangtze River, he could not transfer troops to the south bank for support in a short time.I can only watch the Japanese army wreak havoc in the south of the Yangtze River.

The scattered Kuomintang army had neither quantitative nor qualitative advantages, and the front-line troops barely resisted until September [-] when they collapsed across the board.When the battle lasted until September [-]th, the Kuomintang army in the Songhu area had been repelled hundreds of kilometers.Although reinforcements from the Guangxi faction were also entering the arena at this time, they did not even have an advantage in numbers in some battlefields compared to the Japanese army in terms of strength.

When the cannons in the Songhu area rang out, Li Runshi, who was staying in Beiping, sighed, and could only order the Red Army in Tianjin to launch a full-scale military attack on the Japanese army in eastern Hebei at this time, thinking that it would contain them.

At that time, he said to Boss Zhu: "From a strategic point of view, Chen Jitang, who was passive in the Battle of Songhu, lost at the beginning."

At the same time, when Stalin learned that the Japanese army had really opened up the third battlefield in Songhu, he was "surprised" at that time. He said to Huang Ke, an expert on Japanese issues: "Are the staff officers of the Japanese military headquarters crazy?" ? Northeast China and North China are facing such a great pressure, how dare they open another battlefield at this point in time?"

Huang Ke replied: "It's the end of August, and the rice in the south of the Yangtze River has begun to harvest! The Japanese, who suffered heavy losses in North and Northeast China, need a decompression outlet to vent the internal pressure brought about by the previous consecutive defeats."

"Don't they know that doing so will disperse their forces and defeat them faster, regardless of the future?"

"If they don't do this, they will explode internally now. Comrade Sorge sent news that from May to August, rice disturbances broke out many times in Japan. Over there in Tokyo, those militaristic lunatics and young military officers organized Civilian forces have besieged the Capitol several times..."

"If I order the Far East Front Army to immediately launch a third round of attack at this time..."

"10 people! Five divisions, or as long as four divisions, or even less, four or five divisions, is enough for the Japanese army to wipe out Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Before I came to China, the chairman evaluated the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army there. In addition, it probably can only withstand the Japanese army of two divisions. Moreover, Chen Jitang is the Guangdong army, and Li Zongren is the Guangxi army. After all, they are warlords in nature, which are different from the Red Army. In addition, they are guest troops. Don’t overestimate them. The will of the troops to fight..."

Huang Ke looked at the map of China on the table and sighed. Before he came to the Soviet Union, he discussed the prospects here with the chairman.If the Japanese army recklessly launched the southern offensive, it would probably only need to invest ten divisions, which would be enough to sweep the warlord forces in the south in a short period of time-because of the limited force, they would divide their troops to occupy, and it would be impossible to completely control many provinces. However, learning from the Mongolian Huns' "locust" tactics of supporting war by fighting and looting while fighting, it can harm most of southern China in a short period of time.

And the worst situation is that the Japanese army takes advantage of the sea transportation, continuously concentrates its forces, and deploys the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong along the coast, all of which may fall in a short period of time.

Stalin said: "I will immediately order the Far East Front Army to launch a new round of offensive."

When Stalin ordered the secretary to send a telegram to Zhukov, Huang Ke sat silently.After Stalin gave the instructions, he suddenly turned around and asked Huang Ke, "I'm a little surprised by your calmness."

"what happened?"

"You're a little too calm... In addition, when Li Yunshi sent me a rescue telegram, the tone between the lines was also a little too calm."

Huang Ke didn't answer him, but said that he was a little tired, and then he took his leave and rested.

That night, as he and Elena lay together, Elena asked Stalin similar questions.

"I thought you and the chairman would ask Stalin to launch a bigger offensive by the Soviet Red Army, but you only asked him to advance the September offensive by a few days. You asked for too little!"

Huang Ke buried his face in her chest, and said softly: "Because of your dedication and sacrifice, we have achieved a fantastic start."
