Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"A few days ago, I learned that Yan'an University was going to hold the 27th anniversary party of the May [-]th Movement," Tang Hua said, "I said before the class that the equality of men and women is reflected in rights and obligations, the same dedication and the same dedication. , It also means the same harvest. Then, the opportunity to practice this true equality has also come. Why do most of the theatrical performances are girls singing and dancing for the people in the audience? Don’t women watch men perform for them? Don’t men have the obligation to sing and dance for women? In fact, they all should. In order to practice this principle of equality, I decided to practice it personally. At the May [-]th party, I joined several teachers and heads of state for You sing a song."

The cheers from the girls in the audience were like a festival.

Tang Hua was preparing for this show a few days ago.The last time I visited Luyi, I made friends with the "Five-member Tiantuan" of Yan'an Music. These young music experts from Lu Xun Academy of Art were very interested in the new musical instruments that Tang Hua brought to Yan'an. Tang Hua took out the score After that, it was like opening the door to a new world.In the past two days, Ma Ke and Guan Hetong have practiced together with Tang Hua's four-member band, and Ye Ting has also joined in.

However, after class, Tang Hua didn't go to Luyi to rehearse. Instead, he turned to another road, made several turns, and entered the only auto repair shop in the border area.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, overseas Chinese donated a lot of materials to the country, some of which were sent to Yan'an, including a small number of cars.For example, Tan Kah Kee gave the Chairman and the Commander-in-Chief each a Ford car, but they were basically left unused, occasionally used to receive democrats who visited Yan'an.Yan'an also received an ambulance as a gift. Sadly, the ambulance couldn't drive to the enemy's rear base area (it couldn't be hidden after getting past it), so it became a city minibus in Yan'an.However, what caught Tang Hua's fancy was the Dodge WC63 trucks that Yan'an received as a gift, commonly known as Dodge trucks.

The utilization rate of all the cars in Yan'an is very low. When these Dodges first arrived, they were used for transportation tasks between several counties controlled by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. , it is left idle.Tang Hua saw four spotless trucks parked in the shed, so he decided to convert them into armored vehicles.

Although we are majoring in computer science, the school is a school for vehicles. The chief teacher of the 8X8 wheel tumbler even taught me a class, Tang Hua thought.

Tang Hua walked into the auto repair shop, and the modified second car was undergoing final testing on the dirt road outside the factory.The potholed dirt road can basically serve as the washboard road of the test site. The truck bounces forward on the dirt road. Thanks to the Dodge WC63's three-axle 6X6, the effect of running on the road full of dirt potholes is not bad.

"Mr. Tang, the chassis test is over, and it has reached the design target you mentioned!" Xiao Wu, the driver and modification mechanic, jumped out of the cab to report, "It's the same as the first one. It is especially easy to open with half a bucket of bricks.”

Although there were few cars in Yan'an, there were quite a lot of car parts and car bodies - many Japanese army cars destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, or cars that were captured and dismantled, and the parts were carried to Yan'an one after another.In the eyes of the Japanese army, these things are scrap copper and rotten iron, but they are all rare steel products here in the Eighth Route Army.Tang Hua used the remaining springs and steel sheets to modify the suspension of Dodge.Although Dodge can actually carry 5 tons, and according to Tang Hua's design drawings, the weight gain after modification is only about 3 tons, but it must be ensured that the armored car still has good passability after the weight gain of 3 tons, and even has certain off-road capabilities , then the suspension system must be strengthened.

In addition, there is no steel plate in the border area.Not surprisingly, there is no modern steel industry in the Border Region.Thanks to the ready-made steel plates in the pile of car bodies, the best thing to use is the whole steel plate of the hood, let the blacksmith beat it, and the two layers of hood steel plates are riveted into one layer, and the inclination angle is added to defend against the national army. The commonly used 7.92X57 rifle ammunition should be fine.

"Tang Hua? Little Tang!"

Tang Hua, who was studying how to install the steel plate of the second car, looked back. "Comrade Ye Ting, are you here too?"

"It's not time for singing practice at night. I heard you're tinkering with things here, so I came over to have a look. Yo? Armored car?" Ye Ting saw the first armored car that had been refitted.

"That's right! There are a few large American trucks in Yan'an. I thought they would not be needed for transportation now, so I devised a plan to convert them into armored vehicles." Tang Hua said, "The trucks themselves are 6X6. If The ground is relatively dry and hard, so it can be driven off-road, and can cross some not too wide ditches. The armor can resist the shooting of machine gun bullets, but it should not be hit by anti-aircraft guns or directly hit by grenades. There is a heavy machine gun on the top. There is a mounting bracket for the driver's seat, and it can also mount a machine gun."

Ye Ting approached the armored car and looked it up and down carefully.The car was covered by steel plates beyond recognition, and the original truck could not be seen at all. This was a special design made by Tang Hua. On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers saw a completely unfamiliar vehicle approaching, and it was capable of killing. That would cause great shock and panic psychologically.If only the steel plates are welded to some parts, others can still tell that this is a Dodge truck at a glance, then the psychological shock effect will be cut in half.

"The cab has a steel plate that can be lowered, and it can be bulletproof after being lowered. Of course, at this time, the vision of the driver and the co-pilot is relatively limited, because they can only look out through this seam."

"The front wheels of the car are protected by semi-circular steel plates, and the rear wheels and mailboxes are also protected by steel plates. These steel plates can be quickly removed with tools, and the tires can only be removed or repaired after they are removed."

"After the engine is covered by the armor plate, the position of the vent is also changed. Here, if the weather is particularly hot and the heat dissipation is not good, you can also temporarily lift the front armor plate like this..."

Ye Ting seems to never get enough of the armored vehicles, and his mind seems to have returned to the time when he led Ye Ting's independent regiment 20 years ago.

"It's a nice car." Ye Ting said.

"Comrade Ye Ting, these cars are actually made for you." Tang Hua was beside Ye Ting, and his words suddenly changed into Cantonese that only he and Ye Ting could understand.

Ye Ting's body trembled slightly, and the waves in his heart had unconsciously turned into raging waves.

It has been more than half a month since arriving in Yan'an. Ye Ting also had several long talks with the chairman and the commander-in-chief. Ye Ting firmly hopes to participate in the next war, but the commander-in-chief seems to want him to work in the headquarters or the staff.

As a deputy or a senior officer in Yan'an, the identity and status are naturally very high. If you command the front-line troops, then based on the current level of our army, it may be downgraded by one level or even two levels.But Ye Ting always felt that this was not what he wanted to achieve.During the talks, Ye Ting also bluntly said that he hoped to lead troops to fight.The commander-in-chief said that he should first be familiar with the current system and combat style of our army in the staff department.

"Iron Army, you must have armored vehicles." Tang Hua said, "...This is my personal opinion. I hope to see you galloping on the battlefield again."

Chapter 12, I came back and admitted my mistake

For the aerospace technology part of the third scientific and technological revolution, Tang Hua can only use V-2 ballistic missiles and JPL to inspire students. After all, even the United States dare not imagine artificial satellites.

"V-2 is the fastest flying machine made by human beings so far," Tang Hua said. "Of course, if it is true, the Paris Cannon manufactured by Germany in 1918 can accelerate the shell to a speed of 1700 m/s. , is faster than the flight speed of the V-2. However, the V-2 is not a shell, but a complex flying machine that accelerates according to its own power.... As the ancestor model of ballistic missiles, it is only in the During the war, Germany hastily launched a not-so-mature weapon, and affected by the shortage of resources at the end of the war, many of its components had to adopt compromise designs.”

"If you use the perspective of development to predict ballistic missiles, then the future development trend must be that the range will be longer and longer-this is achieved by continuously increasing the flight speed of missiles; Warhead. When the flight speed of ballistic missiles is getting higher and higher, even reaching a speed of 7.9 kilometers per second, then the scene that only appeared in science fiction before will become a reality. What do we call this object?"

"...artificial earth satellite." Several students in the audience had read some science fiction novels and answered Tang Hua's question.

Tang Hua nodded. "When the speed of the warhead of the missile reaches the first cosmic speed, it will break away from the gravity of the earth, and in space without atmospheric resistance, it will continue to move by inertia for several years, ten years, or even longer. We put an object— ——In other words, what is the use of mechanically hitting it and turning around the earth? In this class, we will not discuss the answers to the questions. Please slow down after class or even after graduation. Think slowly."

"If the maximum speed of the missile does not reach 7.9 kilometers per second, but is lower, such as 7 kilometers per second, then what will happen is—" Tang Hua drew another parabola on the arc representing the earth's surface, "It was launched from China, and after less than 30 minutes, it will land in the United States. ... Quiet, please be quiet, we also do not discuss the answer to the question, please think slowly when you are free. But Remember, it is not for you to think about its technology as it stands, and to skip the details, please look at this issue from the perspective of international politics and strategy..."

……

While Tang Hua was chatting with the students in full swing, a fast horse galloped along the road outside Yan'an City.The face of the middle-aged man on the horse was still tough and resolute, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his mind was on top of his mind.

He is Pan Hannian.

After saying goodbye to Tang Hua, Pan Hannian thought about the content of Tang Hua's conversation with him for three days.Three days later, Pan Hannian figured it out and sent a telegram to Yan'an:

"I have important matters concerning myself and the organization. Please allow me to return to Yan'an to report to the chairman."

The incident in 1943 has actually been on Pan Hannian's mind.

In April 1943, Pan Hannian secretly met with Nanjing Chairman Wang (pseudo).

In 1945, Pan Hannian went to Yan'an to attend the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He had a chance to talk with the chairman alone. At that time, he thought about confessing this matter to the chairman, but after much deliberation, he still didn't say it.Later, he admitted in his memoirs that it was his "petty bourgeois self-esteem" and the psychology of wanting to regain the situation by himself.

Pan Hannian and Chairman Wang's spy chief Li Shiqun knew each other's identities and met irregularly.Pan Hannian wanted to get information from Li Shiqun, and so did Li Shiqun.However, Li Shiqun sometimes revealed some information about the sweeping activities of the Japanese army and the puppet Manchukuo puppet army, leaving a way out for the Wang puppet regime in the future, and also suppressing the Japanese army stationed in China who always suppressed Chairman Wang. In April 1943, when Pan Hannian had a secret meeting with Li Shiqun, Li Shiqun suddenly dragged Pan Hannian to meet Chairman Wang.Because it was too late to ask his superiors for instructions, Pan Hannian finally decided on his own and went to see Chairman Wang.

Pan Hannian decided to meet Chairman Wang without authorization, but Pan Hannian made no mistakes during the meeting.He did not respond to Chairman Wang's proposal to join forces with Chiang Kai-shek. Instead, he persuaded Chairman Wang to see clearly the trend of history. In the end, he defrauded Chairman Wang of information about the Japanese army's summer raids.The problem is that the meeting between Pan Hannian and Chairman Wang is itself a sensitive topic, and it is completely different from meeting Li Shiqun. Regardless of the details of the meeting, it will be used as a fuss. This meeting is actually Pan Hannian being tricked by Li Shiqun.

It was said to be a secret meeting, but someone from the Wang puppet regime still leaked the news.

Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing seized this matter first and challenged the government, while Yan'an denied that Pan and Wang had met—because Pan Hannian told the chairman that I had never met Chairman Wang, and the chairman trusted Pan Hannian.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the 50s, during an organizational review, Pan Hannian confessed to the review team that he had met Chairman Wang in 43 years.It's okay to pat the big boss on the chest and say that there is no such thing, and then tell the little girl in personnel affairs that there is such a thing?

The year is 1946.In 1944, the Kuomintang used the "Pan Wanghui" to bring a wave of rhythm, and then in the second half of 1946 and 1949, the Kuomintang will bring two waves of rhythm.In the last two waves, because Chiang Kai-shek seized the archives and letters of the Nanjing puppet regime, the evidence was in hand, and the rhythm was extremely strong.If Pan Hannian had confessed to the Chairman about the meeting in April 43, the Yan'an side would have a plan in mind when they responded with public opinion.And if it didn't cause irreparable damage to our reputation and face, then Pan Hannian's mistake is still a mistake, but the consequences shouldn't be too bad...

……

While Pan Hannian rode his horse towards Yan'an, a train slowly returned from Nanjing to Shanghai.

The train had arrived at the station and opened the door, but Zhou Xuan was still sitting on the seat and did not stand up.

"Miss Zhou, let's get out of the car..." the assistant said.

On April 4, seeing Tang Hua's farewell letter, Zhou Xuan stood there for a few minutes before uttering a heart-piercing cry.

Sobbing all the way, Zhou Xuan went to Tang Hua's residence, asked Steward Sun, asked Liu Huagang, went to Jiaotong University to ask the members of the salon, and searched all the companies under Tang Hua's name, but there was no trace of Tang Hua.When asked where Tang Hua had gone, the answer was "don't know", or the person who was asked shook his head silently.Although he didn't get any answer, Zhou Xuan guessed from what Tang Hua said in the previous meetings that he might have secretly gone to Yan'an, so he immediately pulled his assistant and got on the train to Xi'an.However, the train was turned back just after passing Nanjing, because Shandong wanted to "suppress bandits" and national defense control was implemented on the railway line.When returning, the director of the Transportation Bureau also told Zhou Xuan that even if he arrived in Xi'an, the border area was completely blocked by the government, and no one could enter.

Zhou Xuan returned home in despair, wrapped her body in a thin blanket, and lay down on the sofa.The assistant and the adoptive mother made eye contact, and then the adoptive mother asked the servant to cook soup for Zhou Xuan.

"Miss Zhou..." the assistant comforted Zhou Xuan softly, "Tang Hua should come back in the future, but he has to do what he should do now, sometimes family and country can't have both."

"He told you he'd be back?"

"I heard from Little Six that Steward Sun told him that Tang Hua told Steward Sun that Tang Hua would come back after the victory of the revolution." Assistant Qin made a long detour.

Zhou Xuan didn't speak, and remained motionless on the sofa with her eyes closed.

"Hey..." The adoptive mother had nothing to say, walked to the record player, picked up a record and put it on.

"Gently I will leave you"
