The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 351 It's the Last Day Again (Part Two) [The Emerging Color Master 2350]

At 10 p.m. that night, in the boss's office on the second floor of Deyuelou.

Hu Biao, Annie, and Mina finally reunited after several days, waiting for the next time travel to begin in five and a half hours.

Even so, Hu Biao and Annie hadn't seen each other for half a month.

The three of them are busy with their own things and don't seem inclined to talk to each other; however, they don't find it boring at all.

First, Hu Biao was holding his phone, scrolling through videos about the Battle of Tieyuan.

While watching the video, he would occasionally pause it and start writing and drawing in a notebook.

If you get a little closer, you can see that this notebook is filled with densely packed notes, all of which are my thoughts on the video content.

Goodness! If this guy had studied this hard back in his school days, he might not have been able to get into a top-tier college like Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College.

Getting into a top-tier university like a 985 or 211 is definitely not a problem.

In fact, Hu Biao's method of learning by watching videos was merely a last resort.

After each major battle, we conduct a thorough review, continuing to leverage the strengths and immediately correcting the mistakes, ensuring that similar errors are never repeated.

This method of continuous summarization is a fine tradition of our Party and our army.

Although Hu Biao and his group of time travelers knew they couldn't compare to their predecessors and leaders, they still wanted to learn from the excellent traditions summarized after the war.

So, on the seventh day after returning from time travel, at the suggestion of Annie, the chief of staff who had long held strong opinions on the tactics of the battle in Ping'an County.

That evening, the entire time traveler team held another online meeting.

The meeting's theme was to summarize the previous journey.

In particular, the guerrilla warfare against the Japanese Independent Mixed Ninth Brigade in the later period, as well as the sabotage of the airport, the siege of Heian-jo, and the surrounding blocking battles, were summarized in considerable depth.

So, what happened? It would have been better if we hadn't summarized it. Before the summary, Hu Biao and the other participants seemed quite pleased with themselves.

After all, this was the first time since the September 18 Incident that they had successfully recaptured a county town from the Japanese; although they gave up quickly, it was still a victory.

In addition, they annihilated an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army and killed a Japanese major general.

If we include the results of the blocking forces, at least tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded; all these results combined make this an indispensable chapter in the history of the War of Resistance against Japan.

However, after careful analysis, it was found that there were problems everywhere.

The tactics for blocking were flawed, the tactics for attacking county towns were flawed, and even guerrilla warfare could have been done better.

After careful analysis, the root cause of this situation is that the time travelers who participated in the war were basically ordinary people from the modern world.

Their military capabilities are quite limited, especially in military command.

Even though the team had a warehouse manager, a veteran of the PLA, he was just a sergeant back then.

In small-scale battles, they are able to achieve quite good results thanks to their tactical concepts that are decades ahead of their time in the modern world, as well as some cleverness.

However, in major battles where the combined number of participants reaches tens of thousands directly and hundreds of thousands indirectly, the level of expertise becomes somewhat inadequate.

Therefore, in terms of commanding large-scale operations, everyone in the team, especially Commander Hu Biao, absolutely needs to improve.

These videos of the Tieyuan blocking battle were recommended to Hu Biao by Annie.

And believe it or not! After carefully analyzing many of the details, Hu Biao actually gained quite a bit of insight. He believed that if he were to fight Pingding County again, he certainly wouldn't suffer such heavy casualties.

He even had a question: how could Annie, a girl, know so much about warfare?
Secondly, Annie was using a tablet computer to study information about aerial combat of propeller planes during World War II.

During the process, Hu Biao glanced at it and found that it was all in English, which immediately gave him a terrible headache.

It can only be said that this girl may appear delicate on the surface, but she is actually a very strong-willed perfectionist who always strives to do her best.

During this 30-day break, even though she was extremely busy with work, she still managed to get her sports pilot's license.

Mina, on the other hand, was compiling a list of those confirmed to participate in the journey, along with the supplies they each carried and the quantities thereof, ensuring nothing was forgotten. As the CFO of a large company, this task was quite appropriate for her.

According to Mina's statistics, the number of people who can be confirmed to participate is nine: Hu Biao, Annie, AT, Mina, Lao Yu, the warehouse manager, Xiao Cui, Lao Ma, and Xiao Henan.

As for which veterans will get another chance to participate, that remains to be seen.

Based on the consensus that it's better to bring key materials and components than weapons when traveling back in time, as these will be more effective.

Among the supplies prepared by everyone, there were only a dozen or so pistols and a small amount of bullets. The rest were all medicines, stockings, knives, machine parts, and seamless steel pipes.

Seamless steel pipes are the most numerous, but they weigh 400 kilograms and can theoretically be used to make more than forty mortars.

Wow! That's the size of an reinforced artillery regiment.

With the Japanese weapons captured during the battle of Pingding County, the Northern Jiangsu Independent Regiment, after a period of development, might truly be confident of attacking Taiyuan; just thinking about it is quite exciting…

******
By 10:20, Mina had finished all the statistical work and, after confirming that nothing had been missed, she was done.

Feeling somewhat bored, I couldn't help but ask Hu Biao a question:
"Brother-in-law, isn't it supposed to bring about some positive changes to the modern world after each time travel? Why is there no news about it online? What could it be?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Biao put down his phone and replied casually:
"What else could it be but a breakthrough in 'controlled nuclear fusion technology'?"

Last time, they overcame the challenge of 'stabilizing and confining the plasma'; this time, they're likely overcoming the challenge of 'extremely high temperature and pressure'.

Next, there are still many challenges, such as energy gain, materials challenges, the scarcity of tritium, and technology costs.

This thing is huge, let's take it slow.

The reason for not announcing the news is probably because the government is worried that such a rapid breakthrough will leave the foreigners completely desperate, leading them to act rashly.

After hearing Hu Biao's explanation, Mina analyzed it briefly and realized it made perfect sense.

Just as she was about to say something more, Annie, worried about disturbing Hu Biao's studies, said, "Mina, come here and learn with me how to coordinate two aircraft in aerial combat."

"In future air battles against the Japanese, I will be the lead aircraft, and you will be my wingman."

"I have so much more flying experience, why are you the lead pilot?" Mina immediately complained indignantly, but still obediently walked towards Annie.

Hu Biao's guess about the benefits his previous time travel brought to the modern world was completely correct.

The moment they returned, Zhou Peng suddenly had an idea, and then spent a month successfully solving the problems of 'extremely high temperature and pressure'.

But what he didn't guess, or was completely unaware of, was...

Right now, at the Deyuelou Panjiayuan flagship store, not far from the entrance, a seemingly ordinary Hyundai car is parked in a parking space.

One of the men pointed at Deyuelou and said:
"According to reliable intelligence, Zhou Peng's team has solved the problem of 'extremely high temperature and pressure'."

If this terrifying pace continues, in six months, or even less, China will have completely mastered the 'controlled nuclear fusion technology' that represents the future of humanity.

This is a scene we absolutely do not want to see.

Since we can't obtain this technology, let's just destroy it completely.

However, Zhou Peng was heavily guarded in China, so we had no chance to take action against him; and even when we offered him the Nobel Prize, he made it clear that he would not go abroad to receive it.

So the only way right now is for you to first infiltrate this restaurant called Deyuelou, and then try to become one of their delivery staff.

Because Zhou Peng often asks the security guards to order two kinds of food from his hometown, namely roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and youpo noodles.

"If we put one of our latest researched drugs into food, Zhou Peng's security personnel won't be able to detect it; and if he eats it more than ten times, he's doomed."

"Okay, I know."

Faced with the man's lengthy explanation and instructions, a woman in the passenger seat glanced at a job advertisement on the door and responded indifferently.

It was just a small restaurant; she felt this task posed absolutely no challenge whatsoever…
