Dozens of mortars were fired like raindrops, blasting the grenades and a Taisho 10-year-old heavy machine gun into parts.
"Damn it, withdraw the artillery.
Don't wait until you get hit by the Japanese artillery and blow up your own people."
Not long after the experienced battalion commander gave the order, the roaring Japanese artillery shells visited this place again.
From time to time, some defenders were killed and injured in the artillery fire.
However, because some of the surplus troops were withdrawn in advance, the losses were relatively small.
A lot.
As for withdrawing all the troops at once, it is impossible.
If the Japanese army takes the opportunity to rush in, will this battle still be fought?
As expected, the Japanese army was once again repulsed by the Zhuang Hucheng Regiment who was waiting in full formation.
The forces of both sides were continuously consumed in this bloody strangulation back and forth.
In addition, Zhuang Huchen also adhered to the consistent tradition of the 15th Route Army.
When night fell, he cooperated with the returning Shao Jianbing Cavalry Regiment to carry out several night attacks.
Although they only killed and wounded dozens of Japanese soldiers, this movement made the Japanese army restless. several times.
So much so that the attack originally scheduled for six o'clock the next morning had to be postponed for four hours.
"You bastard, what kind of battle is the Northeast Army fighting?
Not to mention an army of 100,000 people, it would take ten days and a half to drive 100,000 pigs out of Rehe."
Jiang Li started to show off his moral integrity.
Button, with an angry expression, he crumpled up the telegram in his hand and threw it on the grass, startling Feng Chuyan who had just walked in from a distance.
"What, are the distinguished guests here?"
Jiang Li calmed down the anger on his face and looked at Feng Chuyan and asked.
Feng Chuyan nodded and helped a tall and thin figure behind her.
Her hair, already half white, was parted in the middle.
Meticulously combed.
Also coming in was Liu Xianzhou, the president of Northeastern University.
"What?
Is the person you want to introduce to me the fiery-tempered warlord leader in front of me?"
Tesla looked at Feng Chuyan and said, he planned to go to Lanzhou only after receiving an invitation from Northeastern University and Feng Yong's encouragement.
I came here to take a look, but I didn't expect to see Jiang Li lose his temper right after I arrived.
"Sorry, Professor Tesla, please forgive me for bumping into you with my recklessness."
Jiang Li did not explain aloud, but lowered his voice and bowed to Tesla.
"Well, Feng gave me a lot of funding for my laboratory last year.
After Feng's persuasion, I agreed to let him come to the northwest for a visit.
Although I don't know what Feng Baiban's purpose was in recommending me to see you, I still I plan to come over and have a listen.
You went to such great lengths to invite me from the United States.
Why are you here?"
Tesla looked at Jiang Lidao calmly.
He was not a person who would bow to power.
As a controversial person in the United States, but accomplished in many aspects, he He wasn't worried about what Jiang Li would do to a bad old man like him.
"The northwest, or our country, needs Mr.
Tesla's help.
Maybe some of Professor Tesla's views are doubted or excluded by others.
But I think that is just the short-sightedness of mediocre people.
In fact, I have little understanding of Tesla's alternating current and Achievements in radio have always been regarded as impossible.
The Jala Hydropower Station is a jaw-dropping masterpiece.

Our country is now suffering from the Japanese invasion.
My soldiers and I are willing to fight to the end with the cruel Japanese army, but we lack sufficient material foundation and need a stable rear.
Professor Tesla can help me solve some problems," Jiang Li said sincerely.
"Using technology in war will be a disaster for all mankind.
I will not let my hard work appear on the battlefield."
Tesla looked at Jiang Li's confession, and his face softened a little.
"I can make a promise to Professor Tesla on this point.
The army and the people in the northwest need a stable rear.
What we hope is that Professor Tesla can help me solve some construction problems, such as large hydropower stations and The key technology of thermal power plants, the full application of alternating current in Northwest China, will not impose anything on Professor Tesla.
In return, I am willing to do all research according to his own wishes.
I will pay US$250,000 in funding and provide Professor Tesla with an additional US$100,000 in research funding every other year.
If Professor Tesla needs space, I can provide it to him in areas I can control.
If he needs manpower.
"If it has no direct impact on the construction of Northwest China and has less than 100 people, Professor Tesla can give some of his research results to Northeastern University according to his own wishes," Jiang Li said seriously.
"God doesn't have a free lunch.
It feels unreal to just leave things alone.
The conditions put forward by His Excellency the General are so good that it even makes me think that His Excellency the General has ulterior motives."
Tesla frowned.
"If Professor Tesla feels it is untrue, the first research grant will be transferred to the professor's account later.
Next year's funding will arrive on January 1, 2034.
If there is a delay, the professor can leave at any time.
The United States has already set up a consulate in Lanzhou, and it must be focused on taking care of scholars like the professor.
If they are serious, they must be there.
I hope that while accepting such preferential treatment, the professor can see that thousands of people in our country are dying in the war and have lost their loved ones because of the war, and share some of their research results with the northwest so that the industrialization process in the northwest can be accelerated.
Of course, the details still depend on Professor Tesla’s decision to expel the Japanese troops as soon as possible, and I will not interfere.”
While Feng Shiyan and Liu Xianzhou were stunned, Jiang Li smiled calmly and said, "Of course there is more to this than that.
Tesla, this old monster, is a genius in science."
Even if we don't bring out other research, being able to bring out core technologies to help Northwest build several large hydropower stations in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River will be enough for Jiang Li to make back his money.
Research on nuclear bombs requires huge amounts of electricity as a basis.
The current development of Northwest Electric Power cannot even meet the existing industrial development needs.
During the war, it has to provide energy for the entire industry, and how much extra expenditure can be provided for nuclear bomb research.
Even if technicians from the United States and Germany are hired to help build large-scale hydropower stations, it will only be a matter of time before they are completed.
But with the help of Tesla, this time can be advanced by one, two, or even three years.
As the originator of alternating current, Tesla's layout of electric power is unparalleled.
Planning the electric power industry in the northwest is enough to allow Jiang Li to save a lot of money and the most precious time in the development of electric power in the northwest.
Jiang Li has already sent Qian Sanqiang and Qian Xuesen, who can be remembered in history, to the most cutting-edge polytechnic universities such as MIT and California Institute of Technology in the United States through his own channels.
As long as the nuclear bomb of the Republic of China can be made a few years earlier than in history Come out, the investment is definitely worth it.
What's more, Tesla is also an authority in the field of radio.
If it can help Northwest build a killer weapon like radar in advance and help Northwest gain an aviation advantage over the Japanese military, it will be extremely profitable.
"I'm getting older and can no longer travel around like I used to, so I'm afraid I can't help you with your ambition.
I don't need that much money.
If you really have this idea, I will provide some advice and suggestions for the power construction in the northwest.
Technical support.
It’s up to you, the general, to see how far you can go.
If there’s anything here that makes me feel inappropriate, I will return to the United States at any time,” Tesla said after hesitating for a while.

"Of course, Professor Tesla can come and go freely.
Northwest will reimburse the round-trip vehicle and ferry tickets.
I hope Professor Tesla can have a pleasant stay in Northwest."
Hearing Tesla's disguised promise, Jiang Li smiled happily.
Damn it, there is one bad news after another in Rehe, and finally this is a good thing to cheer up
