That night, Lemonkoff rushed back to three stores from Xi'an, bringing a radio station ready to contact the general counsel at any time.
On the other side, the general counsel of the recalcitrant army training unit in Chongqing never left the radio station, waiting in his office, worrying about missing any details or wasting time that shouldn't be wasted.
Wang Xuexin was woken up from bed by the correspondent.
Since arriving in this time and space, Wang Xuexin has quickly developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
For no other reason than in this era, when it gets dark at night, you can't do anything. Unless you want to spin cotton or weave cloth or handle official duties, it would be a pity to light an oil lamp in these difficult times.
Don’t you have to go to bed early if you have nothing to do at night? Then get up early to work at dawn the next day. This way you can save some gas money... This seems unimaginable in modern times. How much is that little gas worth?
But when life is difficult, you save every little bit.
When Wang Xuexin first started, he wanted to find a few people to play cards and chess with, but most people in this era had this habit. It was difficult to find someone to join him after dark, so he gradually followed the local customs.
It was only around eight o'clock that night, and Wang Xuexin had already slept for a while. Then Mao Duzi quietly walked to Wang Xuexin's bedside and called: "Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander?"
Wang Xuexin grabbed the cannon box next to his pillow and jumped up. He habitually raised his gun and pointed it at the dark figure in front of him. He was so frightened that Mao Duzi hurriedly shouted: "Batalion Commander, don't shoot, don't shoot."
!It’s me, Maoduzi!”
At this time, Wang Xuexin heard Mao Duzi's voice and asked doubtfully: "Mao Duzi? Why don't you bark outside the door? Just knock on the door a few times!"
"Why didn't you scream anymore?" Mao Duzi replied aggrievedly: "I knocked on the door several times. You were snoring happily inside. There was no response for a long time, so I just came in!"
Wang Xuexin said "Oh", secretly thinking that he had not gotten used to being called "battalion commander" during this period. If he was called "company commander", it would be like a conditioned reflex to wake him up.
This thing is a bit strange, or it can be said to be a habit developed on the battlefield.
Wang Xuexin sometimes has to sleep on the battlefield, where there are guns and cannons, as well as all kinds of shouts from the soldiers. If he wants to sleep in this environment, he must block out the useless noise, which is forced
Ignore it yourself.
If you hear your name or identity, such as "Comrade Wang Xuexin" or "Company Commander", you will jump up as if being pricked by needles, no matter how deeply you sleep.
Now, Wang Xuexin should take some time to adapt to the call of "battalion commander" and form a conditioned reflex, and at the same time block out "company commander".
At first, Wang Xuexin thought that Li Yunlong's call to go there was an instruction from the headquarters. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the regiment headquarters, he saw that Lemon Lokov and his translator, whom he had met in the morning, were sitting there.
This made Wang Xuexin happy. He must have been forced to get the bazooka in such a hurry!
If you are in a hurry to get it, why don't we charge a higher price?
As soon as Li Yunlong saw Wang Xuexin come in, he said with a smile: "Here comes the real master. Xiaobei is familiar with technology. If you don't understand anything, just ask!"
Wang Xuexin entered and saluted everyone, and then sat down at the table at Li Yunlong's signal.
Wang Xuexin noticed that Lemon Lokov had prepared a pen and notebook, and seemed to not want to waste any time. This made Wang Xuexin believe that Mao Xiong was eager to acquire skills.
Counselor Ye, who looked tired, seemed reluctant to broker the deal.
Wang Xuexin guessed that he had contacted his superiors and knew that the Eighth Route Army had what the bear needed.
Obviously, if Mao Xiong directly contacts the Eighth Route Army, it may affect its assistance to the stubborn army, and it is normal to be unhappy.
But this matter is not decided by the stubborn army. After all, Mao Xiong has resources in his hands. Of course, the stubborn army must consider Mao Xiong's interests when asking for help.
Therefore, Staff Officer Ye said with a helpless expression: "Battle Commander Wang, we want to know some information about the rocket launcher, but we don't know if it's inconvenient for you!"
"Convenient, of course it is convenient!" Wang Xuexin smiled and nodded. There is no reason to push customers out when business comes to your door.
Then began a question and answer session, in which Staff Officer Ye translated:
"Have you ever used this rocket launcher in actual combat? How effective was it in actual combat?"
"I have never participated in actual combat! The reason is that the enemy's armor is thin, and the old-fashioned rocket launcher can already meet the needs!"
"Then why did you develop this rocket launcher?"
"Prepare for the future! We can't wait until the Japanese use tanks with thicker armor before developing this rocket launcher!"
"Do you have supporting tactics for using rocket launchers as anti-tanks?"
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin nodded firmly: "If you buy it, we will truthfully tell you the full set of tactics and experience, as well as relevant data."
"Can you tell me something?" Lemonlokov asked.
Wang Xuexin understands Mao Zi's worries. They worry that after spending a lot of effort to buy this technology, it will not be effective on the battlefield, or it will be different from what they imagined.
In this way, wasting money and supplies is a small matter, but wasting time and affecting the entire battle situation is a big deal.
From this we can see that there are some differences between Maozi and Yingjiang.
Yingjiang is very wealthy, and millions of dollars are just a drop in the bucket. At the same time, they have no sense of urgency in war, so they can take their time.
Maozi was not so wealthy. At this time, they themselves needed Yingjiang's help, and had to be cautious under the force of the war.
Therefore, before purchasing this technology, Lemonlokov wanted to make sure whether this equipment was suitable for the bear and whether it could really be used as an anti-tank weapon.
Wang Xuexin couldn't be more cautious in this regard... This thing was developed by Mao Xiong a few years later based on the "Bazooka" rocket launcher and Iron Fist based on Mao Zi's habits. Is it still suitable?
Wang Xuexin did not hesitate and immediately replied: "Comrade Lemon Lokov, let me put it this way! The disadvantage of this equipment is that its accuracy is not high, but this does not affect its use. Because it is cheap and can be mass-produced. If it is
The war between it and tanks can be compared to a gamble, in which case we bet one dollar on the enemy's $10,000. If we lose, we lose one dollar; if we win, we will kill the enemy's $10,000."
As he spoke, Wang Xuexin raised his head towards Lemon Lokov and asked: "Major, if it were you, would you be willing to bet?"
(Note: The cost of tanks at this time was generally around tens of thousands of dollars, and the T34 in 1941 cost $27,000)
Lemon Lokov nodded with satisfaction. He was even a little surprised, because Wang Xuexin's statement was exactly what the general counsel expected.
Therefore, the general counsel is right, this is the equipment they need, and it is very suitable for the war facing the country.
