Chapter 344: Small Talk

"Tsk...... I used to think that Germans were a bunch of people who regarded discipline as their life and money as dung, but I didn't think they were any different from ordinary people! ”

In the office, looking at the application for combat reports sent by the Germans in his hand, Su Jin couldn't help but be amazed. In the past few days of fighting, the Tiger Shark Squadron and the Wildcat Squadron shot down a total of 21 Japanese fighters and 18 bombers, which greatly shocked the Japanese Third Flying Division and forced the Japanese army's plan to encircle and annihilate the 33rd Group Army.

In the air battles of the past few days, the Wildcat squadron and the Tiger Shark squadron have won a lot by virtue of the excellent performance of the Wildcat fighters and the Bf-109 fighters and the skilled skills of Chu Yuan, but their own losses are minimal, but in a fierce air battle, two Bf-109 fighters were shot down, but fortunately, the two pilots successfully parachuted out, and were snatched back under the desperate counterattack of the ground forces of the national * army, and then were picked up by the plane sent by Su Jin.

However, from this incident, Shan Sujin also saw the weakness of the Bf-109, not only the short range, but also the armor was not as thick as the F4F Wildcat. Because in this air battle, several Wildcat fighters were also hit in many places, but with the thick armor of the Wildcat fighters, the pilots were stunned and drove the fighters back, which also made Su Jin once have the idea of replacing the Bf-109 with a Wildcat fighter, but because of the feelings of the German instructors such as Mikey, he temporarily dismissed this idea.

Seeing Su Jin's disdainful look, Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Junzao, what you said is biased." If you want to say that money is a thing that everyone likes, the Germans are also people, and they also want to make their lives and their families' lives better. What's so strange about that. ”

Su Jin pursed his lips: "I'm not surprised, I just thought that when I first came, the appearance of those people with their nostrils facing the sky made me feel uncomfortable." ”

Zhou Yusheng knew that the pride in his boss's heart had flareed up again, and he didn't refute it, but just shook his head with a smile and didn't speak.

Seeing that no one accosted him, Su Jin also felt bored, and sighed lightly: "Actually, I also know the reason." Whoever makes our own national strength weak, it's no wonder that others look down on us. Not only that, but we can't even get together a team of pilots. Without them, we wouldn't even have a dive bomber, and it would take seven or eight months for those trainees to become complete. ”

Speaking of this, Su Jin suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Yusheng, "Chi Yu." Have the second batch of flight cadets been selected? ”

Zhou Yusheng nodded: "The primary election has been conducted. At present, the second batch of flight cadets has been tentatively set at a total of 368 people, and they are waiting for those German instructors to be selected again before they can officially attend classes. ”

"That's good." Su Jin nodded: "We'd rather let people wait for equipment than let equipment wait for people, whoever seizes air supremacy in the current war will be the first to win half of it." ”

Looking at Su Jin's sworn look when he said this, Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but nod secretly when he thought of the current mode of war, in the previous battles, the 202nd Army had already suffered too much because it did not have air supremacy, and thought of the thank you telegrams sent by the Fifth War Zone one after another these days. Zhou Yusheng knew that Su Jin's words were not exaggerated, you must know that the commander of the Fifth War Zone was not a master who praised people easily. However, when I think about it, the number of flight cadets, including the first batch, has now reached 500. Such a scale has far exceeded the size of a brigade, and even exceeded the number of Huaxia Air Force in its heyday, thinking of this, Zhou Yusheng's eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated when he looked at Su Jin.

Maybe Zhou Yusheng's eyes were too weird, Su Jin smiled lightly after seeing this: "Chi Yu, you don't have to worry, I naturally have my reasons for training so many pilots, the current scale of the flight group is too small, and the air force of this scale can't compete with the Japanese, so it's always right to train more pilots." ”

"But...... But ......" Zhou Yusheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Junzao, do we have so many planes?" ”

"There will be!" Su Jin's gaze was indescribably certain, "As long as we kill more devils, there will be!" ”

Looking at Su Jin's firm gaze, Zhou Yusheng felt that he had asked a stupid thing again, he had already seen the magic power of his own boss, and now the 202nd Army was as small as a belt military uniform, and as big as an aircraft, tank, and heavy artillery, he got it all by himself, and he actually questioned him, isn't that too stupid?

Just as Zhou Yusheng's mind was spinning like lightning, Su Jin asked, "Chi Yu, how is our recruit work going now?" To what extent has the expansion of the army been carried out? ”

Zhou Yusheng replied without hesitation: "Qi Qi military seat, now the conscription work of the unit has been basically completed, as of yesterday we have recruited another 38,767 new soldiers, and we are now stepping up training, and it is expected that the expansion of the unit will be initially completed in three months, but due to the lack of experienced grassroots officers, the combat effectiveness of the unit is estimated to have declined somewhat." ”

Su Jin sighed lightly: "This is also inevitable, we have only taken more than two years from the reorganization of the security regiment to the security brigade to the division, until the current army, the expansion of the army is so fast, whether it is management or the training of officers, we can't keep up, and we can't use a large number of graduates of the Whampoa department, we can only rely on our own training and promotion, and the combat effectiveness of the army will naturally decline." But don't be discouraged, these days we have successively recruited a number of junior officers and non-commissioned officers from other units, and after a while, all of them will be added to the troops, and our short-term training courses will be completed in two months, and this situation will soon be reversed. ”

"That's all there is to it!" Zhou Yusheng nodded, and just as he wanted to say something, someone from outside came to report, saying that Liao Liping and Zhao Manlu jointly asked to see him.

"Huh...... What are they here for? ”

Su Jin was a little surprised, since the last time she dug up a Japanese female spy under the cover of reporting reporters, Zhao Manlu rarely appeared in front of Su Jin, speaking of which, Su Jin also owed him a favor, is there anything important that she needs to help when she comes to the door today?

Soon, Liao Liping and Zhao Manlu walked into the office and saluted Su Jin and Zhou Yusheng, "Good military seat, good chief of staff!" ”

Seeing the two of them, Su Jin showed a standard smile: "Director Liao...... Wrong...... Now it should be Minister Liao, and Director Zhao, long time no see! (To be continued.) )
