In addition to the F6F, the most striking trophies captured were the C-47 transport planes, and these behemoths aroused the curiosity of many people, and a bunch of officers observed the scene at the airport. With the help www.biquge.info of technical manuals and a few pilots, Shigeharu Murata, who had only a few experience in flying transport planes, finally succeeded in flying the C-47, and proudly patrolled around the island of Ceylon, almost triggering anti-aircraft fire below.

Kusaka Ryunosuke couldn't help frowning when he looked at the noisy scene, he was going to accuse them of messing around, but seeing that Tsukahara 243 and Kusaka were watching with interest, he didn't want to jump out and be a villain - the plane was picked up for nothing, so what if it fell?

Shigeharu Murata, who got off the plane, praised: "This transport plane is good, better than any transport plane I have ever seen or ridden, and it is not difficult to control." Sir, will you leave them behind? ”

Kusaka Ryunosuke nodded immediately: "Yes, when you leave, pack and take away Grumman's fighter planes together, don't let the army see it, otherwise you will be allowed to rob us." ”

Cao Lu Yi shook his head: "Although the fighter plane is taken away, the transport plane cannot be taken away, and it is still useful for the commander to keep it." ”

"Useful?"

"The chief wants to use a transport plane to pick up people in Singapore, especially the pilot, how can he take the ship slowly? As for ownership...... "Cao Lu Ren smiled, "Brush the SH Army logo as soon as possible, and the army is embarrassed to rob us." ”

Everyone was right to think about it, without the arrival of land-based pilots, the carrier-based pilots of the mobile fleet could not leave -- or the commander was thoughtful.

"The only regret is that I didn't find the B-29, I asked the prisoners, and they explained that the Australian side has received this latest heavy crit fighter, but the U.S. military is obviously reluctant to put it on the Hump route or hand it over to the British."

Everyone has heard of the B-29, although it was beaten badly by German jet fighters in a limited number of appearances, but everyone admits that it is a good aircraft, whether it is Germany or RB, this kind of 4-round large bomber is most lacking.

"Speaking of jets, it's a shame that I didn't see them this time." Mitsuo Fuchida sighed, "If you don't go to Germany, you don't know the development of Europe, the progress of science and technology, and the civilization of the people, and the RB is still very backward, no wonder the Caucasian race is always superior in the eyes of Indians." ”

"Don't regret it, the German Führer agreed to sell us a batch of jets, the price is exactly two-thirds of the Tiger, 450,000 marks a plane, but the technical data is expensive, at least 100 million marks......"

In Minoru Genda's view, this price is not expensive at all, jets are the only good thing in the world, and now the Germans are willing to sell it for 450,000 marks, if it were not for the commander to cooperate with Germany in the fight under domestic pressure, how could the Führer be so generous? How did he know, leaving aside the cost of technology research and development, the cost of producing one ME-262 by the Messerschmidt company was only 110,000 Reichsmarks -- for every jet that the RB bought, it was equivalent to paying for the Germans for three more.

"Does the chief agree to buy it?"

Of course the chief agreed, but the problem was that there was no money. Not to mention the fact that Germany had spent all the credit it had given us last time, and had an additional 300,000,000,000 marks in debt, and now it was all counting on India's gold and China's silver trade. Cao Lu stretched out his hands and explained in hatred, "The commander has explained, to force the enemy to surrender as much as possible, and to keep the equipment and materials as much as possible, instead of trying to destroy the matter - this is all money!" ”

Several bomber pilots subconsciously shrank their necks: this time the fight was really too enjoyable, incendiary bombs and aerial bombs were thrown on the heads of the Ceylon army without money, and in the end, only about 10 tanks were captured intact, and most of the enemy trucks and planes were also destroyed.

"Is the USS Borg still saved?" Mitsuo Fuchida asked, "I don't think it's good to use it for fleet operations, but it's good to use it for escort." ”

"Drain the water as much as possible and drag it back for maintenance, it is really not possible to act as a training aircraft carrier, and in the future, we must vigorously train pilots, and it will be troublesome if there is no training ship." Cao Lu suddenly remembered one thing, and said to this group of ace pilots, "It's okay for you to go to the rear to train new pilots, right?" ”

"This ......," Akamatsu scratched his scalp, "I actually hope to be on the front line." ”

Shigeharu Murata also said, "How can training recruits stimulate ...... war?"

Several other top pilots unanimously agreed that they were willing to continue to stay in the front-line troops, and only Saburo Sakai, who was injured in the eye, expressed his willingness to return to China as an instructor.

Fuchida Mitsuo stiffened his face and scolded the other people severely: "You are too inconsiderate of the intentions of the chief, look at what the Germans do?" On the one hand, I envy that others have an almost endless number of reserve pilots, and on the other hand, I refuse to train new pilots, and if you don't go, he won't go, who will train them? Who will tell them about the latest combat skills and aircraft performance of American pilots? Do you still rely on the batch of flight instructors in China who have hardly come into contact with US carrier-based aircraft? ”

The other people didn't say anything, but they kept muttering in their hearts: Mitsuo Fuchida himself has made it clear that he will continue to stay in the mobile fleet to lead the troops, and his military rank may be able to move again to be promoted to Dazuo, but he has not yet become a general, and he actually began to stand and talk without backache.

"Sadaaki Akamatsu!" Mitsuo Fuchida looked at the unconvinced looks of several people, and deliberately emphasized, "Now I order you to get a good understanding of Grumman's aircraft performance, find out his shortcomings, and return to China, you are responsible for taking a group of pilots to fly F6F aircraft as an imaginary enemy and help new pilots train tactics." ”

Akamatsu Sadaaki, who was named, had to reluctantly agree. In the midst of the embarrassment, someone came to deliver an order for the main force of the mobile fleet to leave for the Maldives in the evening, ready to receive the convoy to unload the cargo on the island of Ceylon.

Just as the navy was jubilantly counting prisoners and spoils of war and cleaning up the battlefield, Army Admiral Yamashita Fumi, known as the "Malay Tiger," had just gathered a team to board a ship and left the Philippines. The latter was his old partner when he fought in Malaya, but because of Yamashita Fengwen's involvement, he was demoted all the way until the army weapons factory was attached, and he was reduced from a front-line combat officer to a miscellaneous officer in charge of logistics affairs. You must know that the Japanese army is famous for not paying attention to baggage soldiers - if all baggage soldiers are counted as soldiers, then dragonflies can be regarded as eagles.

As soon as Yamashita came out of the mountain, he immediately brought his old partner to the Indian dispatch army, but Yamashita thought that this experience was actually beneficial to Suzuki himself, in addition to understanding production, he would have a deeper understanding of logistics and supplies, which was especially important for a chief of staff, and Suzuki, who "saw the light of day" himself, was dead set on Yamashita himself. He subconsciously asked, "Total occupation?" Didn't you just land? ”

The confidential staff officer added: "It has been confirmed with the navy that it is determined that it will be fully occupied, most of the more than 50,000 British defenders have been captured, and a small part has been killed by our army, and all the important strategic positions on the island are now in the hands of our army, and the main airfields have also been restored to ......."

"How many troops did the Germans send?"

"There are 4 marine brigades, about a multi-divisional regiment, but the battle is mainly the first attack wave of more than 6,000 people, and the follow-up troops will only go up to surrender and pursue and annihilate the fleeing enemy."

The entourage around him all showed a look of shock, but Yamashita Fengwen nodded: "If it is a battle fought by the German army, the navy should not brag, their combat effectiveness is indeed quite strong, I knew this when I was a military attache in Austria." I went to Germany again after the French campaign, and they were the only ones in the world in the field of armored clusters and mechanized infantry, and only fools like Tojo thought that they could fight the whole world with rifles, light machine guns, and grenadiers. This is very good, with the cooperation of the Allied forces, it will be much easier to fight in the future. More importantly, it can also ask the Germans to help us train us in armored force tactics. ”

Now Tojo is not the prime minister, but a small military police commander, and Yamashita and him don't like each other, and now they are even more merciless when they are scolded.

Lieutenant General Hiroshi Nakura, commander of the 4th Tank Division, who was on the same boat as him and was established earlier than history, asked, "Are we going to accept those tanks this time?" ”

"There are a lot of them, all of them, German, American, British, Russian, oh, French."

"Can we let our division pick first?"

"Of course, the current dispatch is only one of your tank divisions, and it may be a few months before the follow-up troops arrive." Yamashita Fengwen thought for a while and said, "But you can't pick more tiger styles, otherwise Ishihara-kun will come back to settle accounts with me." ”

"A few Tigers are fine, I want the T-34."

Suzuki Sosaku nodded in understanding: "Because of Nomenhan? ”

The first battle of Nomenhan was too stimulating, and the RB did not suffer from the exchange ratio alone, but the fact that the Kwantung Army had always regarded the two tank wings led by Lieutenant General Yasuoka Masatomi was completely annihilated by the artillery and tank units of the Soviet-Mongolian army made the Japanese army feel painful.

In addition to conducting a comprehensive study of the causes of the defeat, the base camp also conducted in-depth discussions on the organization, training, intelligence, command, communications, coordination and cooperation of the services and arms, political education, tactics, and supply support of combat units.

The impact left on the Japanese mecha unit this time was too profound, and the T-26 beat all the Japanese tanks to the point that they could not take care of themselves, and the T-34 was far more than the existence of the T-26, plus the Japanese army was used to equipping diesel engines, so the Nagokura magazine chose the T-34 as soon as it came up.

"Although I agree with your choice, I hope that the 4th Tank Division can fully master and equip different types of vehicles from various countries."

Yamashita Fengwen's words made Nakura Kan stunned, and he didn't turn a corner for a while...... (To be continued.) )
