Just when Liao Yaquan racked his brains to get the information on the aircraft equipped by the Third Army, Su Jin was also looking at the latest loss report in his hand in a daze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"We lost six Stuka dive bombers in three days?"

"Yes sir, although our ground forces are progressing smoothly, the battle in the sky is still very fierce, the Japanese are desperately reinforcing regardless of losses, and the air battles that broke out in the past three days alone have reached 11 times, although our army shot down nearly 80 Japanese planes, but the Japanese planes are like they can't finish fighting, and the 3rd Air Force Regiment deployed in the south has begun to get a little tired." Chu Yuan, the commander of the 1st Air Division, who had not slept well for several days, was full of fatigue, and he said: "We have just received information that the 6th Flying Division of the Japanese Army was established in Guangdong last month, and there is a reconnaissance brigade, three combat brigades, a heavy violence brigade and a light riot brigade under it. And the biggest weakness of the Stuka is that they are slow and have very poor self-protection, and once they leave the protection of the fighter, they become extremely vulnerable. Most of the Stuka dive bombers lost in the past few days were shot down by the Japanese, although most of the downed pilots were able to parachute to escape, but our losses were inevitable, and our training mechanism was far less perfect than the Japanese, so I am afraid that the losses will be very large if we fight with the Japanese. ”

"You're right!" Su Jin also nodded in agreement, don't look at the fact that in another time and space, the Japanese were miserably abused by Uncle Tom, but if the opponent is replaced by Huaxia, it will be the turn of the national army to be hanged, which can be seen from the fact that the **** air force was consumed and almost lost less than half a year after the start of the war. Although he has the help of the weapons store, as long as there are energy points, he will continue to cash out the fighters, but the training of pilots is not an overnight thing, and after nearly two years, he has only accumulated more than 200 quick pilots.

After thinking about it, Su Jin asked, "Old Chu, can you draw some troops from the First and Second Empty Regiments to support Sun Liren and Huang Baitao?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "After learning that we were attacking Fujian, the Japanese troops in the direction of Jiangsu moved frequently, and the fighters of the Japanese Fifth Flying Division stationed in Wuhan also frequently invaded our airspace. The Japanese Third Aircraft Carrier Fleet stationed in Shanghai has also left the port yesterday, and I am worried that once the first and second pilots are transferred, they will carry out large-scale bombing of Taizhou and other ports. ”

Su Jin was a little angry, "The little devil is really good at picking the time!" ”

"They're just intimidating us and won't allow us to move!" Chu Yuan snorted angrily and said: "But it's not that we can't treat them, I went to the aviation school yesterday to take a look, and there is a group of students who will graduate in two days, but the planes we have in reserve are already insufficient, can we transfer another batch of planes over?" ”

The current Air Division has a total of three flight regiments, each flight regiment has two combat squadrons, and two tactical bombing squadrons and one strategic bombing squadron, which are equipped with F6F shrew fighters, Stuka dive bombers and B29 strategic bombers, and Su Jin also reserves a certain number of aircraft in the hangar as a backup, but now Chu Yuan actually said that the aircraft reserves are insufficient, which can't help but surprise Su Jin.

"Lao Chu, I remember that a few days ago, didn't I transport twenty shrew fighters as reserves? Why are there not enough planes? ”

Chu Yuan smiled bitterly: "But sir, there are sixty-eight students in this batch of graduates!" ”

"So much?" Su Jin was taken aback at first, and then said to Chu Yuan with some seriousness: "Old Chu, the training of flight cadets should be cautious, we can't do that kind of thing to kill chickens and take eggs, otherwise it will harm them." ”

"Sir, where do you want to go?" Chu Yuan couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, for fear that Su Jin would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "Sir, this batch of students was originally in the third phase, and the reason why they didn't graduate last time was because I felt that they couldn't meet my requirements, so I continued to study in school for a few months, and this time I let them graduate together." ”

"That's right." Su Jin thought for a moment before asking, "In this way, these students have organized them into a combat squadron and a bombing squadron." But I'm not going to equip them with shrews and stukas this time, I'm going to equip them with a new fighter. ”

"Sir, there's a new fighter again?" Although Chu Yuan had long been accustomed to his boss constantly using new weapons to dazzle his eyes, he still couldn't help but get excited every time.

"Yes, don't you think it's a bit too monotonous for us to just equip a fighter?" Su Jin said seriously: "The original Wildcat and BF-109 have been retired from active service, resulting in only one shrew fighter jet we are equipped with now, although the performance of this aircraft is very good, but we can't just rely on one aircraft to conquer the world, so I think it is still necessary to equip a few more aircraft." This time I plan to add a new fighter and a medium bomber to the troops to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops! Commander Su waved his hand passionately, as if he was fooling the audience in front of the TV in another time and space, he was in a good mood at this time, after all, there were two more flying squadrons, which meant that the combat effectiveness of the Third Army had increased again.

It's just that God doesn't seem to let his good mood last, just after he sent Chu Yuan away, a person he didn't want to see came uninvited.

"General Su, I need an explanation, why did you choose to attack the Japanese at this time, don't you know that you will be leaving for France next month?" In Su Jin's office, Johnson, the US ambassador to China, who had just arrived from Shanghai, shouted at Su Jin as soon as he entered the door, regardless of diplomatic etiquette.

"Are you holding me accountable?" In the face of Jensen's accountability, Su Jin also sank his face, "Ambassador Jensen, I have to remind you that I am now commanding my country's army and fighting a just war against the Japanese invaders who are invading our country, but you are accusing me of not fighting back against the aggressors, is this the attitude of the US government that has always flaunted freedom and justice?" ”

Speaking of war of words, Su Jin has never been afraid of anyone, thinking that it was not for nothing that he could mix well on the military channel back then, and he couldn't mix it up without a mouth that could speak well. Haven't Americans always flaunted national freedom, Su Jin immediately refuted the past.

Being refuted by Su Jin like this, Jensen was a little speechless for a while, and he chattered for a long time before saying: "General Su, you know that I didn't mean that, I just want to remind you that you will lead your troops to France next month, but you are not actively preparing to set off now, but you launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, in case the troops cannot set off on time because of this incident, this responsibility is too great!" ”

"Mr. Jensen, it's not my problem." Su Jin shook his head and said: "In fact, I am preparing to actively prepare for departure, but the Japanese don't know where to get this news, the Japanese troops in Fujian and Jiangsu have been mobilized very frequently recently, and we have even broken out several large-scale air battles these days, from these incidents we have reason to believe that the Japanese are preparing a big conspiracy, and it is very likely that they are preparing to reoccupy this place when our army is transferred out of Zhejiang, in order to ensure the smooth passage of military assistance, I had to order the troops to attack first to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese offensive. ”

Hearing this, Jensen couldn't help but be a little speechless. Su Jin's words are reasonable, you can't even want your own family in order to help the French fight, besides, people are just going to help, but they don't even sell their lives to him.

After Su Jin finished speaking, he asked lightly: Mr. Jensen, I remember that Mr. Secretary of State also promised to pay us a sum of money for sending troops, I wonder when your government plans to fulfill its promise?

"This greedy fellow!" Jensen scolded in his heart, but he still showed a professional smile on his face: "General Su, don't worry, our government has always been the most sincere, and the money promised to you will definitely be given to you. ”

After speaking, Jensen took out a check from his pocket and put it in front of Su Jin, Su Jin took the check and looked at it, and secretly counted it in his heart, one six and seven zeros, so much money Su Jin has never seen in his two lifetimes, and the sixty million dollars in this era are not much worse than the two billion dollars in later generations.

Thinking of this, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled at Jensen: "Mr. Ambassador, thank you for sending me money, don't worry, I will act in strict accordance with the signed agreement, as long as France still needs us next month, I will definitely lead the troops to the French battlefield!" ”

Seeing Su Jin accept the check, Jensen smiled proudly, "Of course, we have negotiated with the French government, and we will send enough ships to pick you and your troops to France next month!" ”

"Of course, but I still hope that your country will abide by the agreement and send in advance the equipment I needed last time. As you know, our Third Army is all German-style, and you don't want me to show up on the battlefield in France with a group of soldiers in German-style uniforms. Su Jin showed a "sincere" smile and worked hard to pit the Yankees in front of him.

"Please rest assured that according to the agreement, the first batch of equipment has been loaded and departed, and it is expected to arrive here in a week."

Jensen replied earnestly, and the two men in the office smiled as they spoke...... (To be continued.) )
