However, Zhang Xinghan also knows that once the helicopter is launched ahead of schedule and achieves great results, it is very likely to directly stimulate the earth-shaking reform and changes in the field of military combat aircraft. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And in fact, the developer of the R-4 helicopter, Igor . Sikorsky, a powerful figure who immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union, was also conducting various experiments related to the initial development of a helicopter.

Once the R-4 is available, who will be able to determine Eagle. Will Sikorsky, a genius, be inspired to help the U.S. military develop a real military helicopter?

Of course, you may think that Zhang Xinghan's concern is a bit superfluous, even if the Americans learn about the existence of this new aircraft, there are no drawings, no specific information, no prototype, and it is basically impossible to copy the novel [zhu][zhu][dao].

However, anything can happen on the battlefield, and besides, this first generation of military helicopters is still in its primitive stage, and the various technologies are far from perfect.

The possibility of a crash, or being shot down by an enemy force, is very real.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Xinghan finally decided to put the helicopter into use, but he only undertook the purpose of transporting troops, and unless he had to do so, the helicopter unit would not participate in the ground attack for the time being.

This is also in order to maintain the mystery that one's own army can be quickly and massively assembled, and to deter the British, American, French, and other armies.

Of course, this is the first time that the R-4 helicopter has been put into actual combat, and Zhang Xinghan also wants to test their reliability.

After making a decision, Zhang Xinghan said to Bai Chongxi: "I have a way to solve this problem." ”

"Do you have a solution?" Bai Chongxi was surprised, could it be that he was still hiding another airborne force?

Sure enough, seeing Zhang Xinghan pretending to be mysterious, he smiled and said: "Well, the mountain people have their own clever plans, and Brother Jiansheng will know it in a few days."

That's all for today's meeting. ”

Bai Chongxi saw that Zhang Xinghan intended to keep it secret, so he didn't ask questions, got up and saluted, and left respectfully.

After seeing Bai Chongxi leave. Jiang Baili, who didn't say a word just now, said: "Commission, do you plan to use the new air force to participate in the war in advance?" ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded, and told Jiang Baili what he wanted to do, for Jiang Baili, he didn't have to hide these things.

After listening to this, Jiang Baili nodded happily and said: "Well, the commission is thoughtful, I think it is feasible, in this way, the more than 100,000 elite American troops gathered on the Yunnan-Burma border will be unable to escape." ”

"It's not that simple. This battle also depends on the bloody battles of the officers and men of the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army and the Central Army, and they can only have a chance to win if they work together.

Otherwise, if you don't eat the U.S. army, and then you are beaten by the U.S. military in turn, then the entire southwest will be in danger! Zhang Xinghan said lightly worriedly.

"The commission is filtered, you are in Kunming, who dares not to wait for the southwest frontier army and try their best to move forward?" Jiang Baili said meaningfully: "What's more, Liu Xiang, Long Yun, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others are also in Kunming." ”

"That's right." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Inform Zhang Lingfu." Let him prepare, I agreed. ”

………………

Baoshan County, military airport.

Thousands of officers and men from one of the two divisions brought by Zhang Lingfu put this small military airfield on strict alert.

Zhang Lingfu, accompanied by Tang Huaiyuan and Du Yuming, was standing in the open space of the airport waiting for something.

Although the three of them exchanged words from time to time. But there was no sign of impatience.

Suddenly, a piercing roar was faintly heard in the distance.

Zhang Lingfu and Du Yuming suddenly looked up one after another, couldn't see clearly, and raised their binoculars again. In the sky, a group of new planes that they had never seen before were flying towards the airport from far and near.

As they got closer, the three of them noticed that there were huge propellers spinning rapidly on the top of these planes. The loud roar was the sound of the propeller breaking through the air.

What is even more surprising is that these planes did not dive down like the planes they had seen before, but descended directly and slowly vertically.

Zhang Lingfu immediately saw the convenience of this new type of aircraft, this should be the method of transporting troops mentioned by the commission, with these new planes, I can perfectly complete this huge encirclement and annihilation battle.

That's great.

Zhang Lingfu was secretly happy in his heart, and after Du Yuming and Tang Huaiyuan glanced at each other, they asked one after another: "Brother Lingfu, what kind of plane is this?" How have I never seen it. ”

"This is a military helicopter equipped with the latest equipment of our army, and its biggest feature is that it can take off and land vertically at any location, of course, some narrow valleys, rivers and dense forests are not in this category." Zhang Lingfu paused extremely happily and continued: "With it, our battle plan can be implemented. ”

Du Yuming carefully looked at the landing process of these new planes, and immediately praised: "I understand, this is really a new battlefield weapon, with it, we can send troops to the predetermined location in a very short time."

and support anywhere on the battlefield that needs reinforcements as quickly as possible. ”

Tang Huaiyuan nodded as if he didn't understand.

Here it is, a young officer in the uniform of a lieutenant general jumped from a helicopter, followed by several pilots.

Walking towards Zhang Lingfu and them, Zhang Lingfu and the three of them knew that this should be the commander of this new air force.

Hurriedly greeted him.

As soon as the two sides met, they stood up and saluted each other at the same time.

"Zhang Xinghua, deputy commander of the Air Force of the Contemptible National Revolutionary Army and head of the Army Aviation Flight Regiment, colleagues, it is a pleasure to meet you." Zhang Xinghua was the first to speak.

"Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming, and Tang Huaiyuan turned out to be the virtuous brothers of the chairman, and I have been waiting for the general's name for a long time." The three of them said in unison.

After a brief greeting, Zhang Xinghua turned around and pointed to the group of helicopters behind him that had all landed: "Brother Lingfu, my brother has instructed me before I came, this operation is under your full command, what do we need to do next, please don't be polite, just give orders." ”

Zhang Lingfu admires this Zhang brother very much, although they are younger than himself, they can stand up when the country and the nation are in danger.

And then become a national hero who has attracted worldwide attention and is admired by thousands of people, and their singing and crying deeds are worthy of respect.

Although Zhang Xinghua was a very popular minister, he did not have the slightest arrogant attitude, and he was straightforward and straightforward, and Zhang Lingfu's first impression of him was much better than that of the senior generals of the Nationalist Government who surrounded Jiang Gong in the past.

So, he immediately nodded appreciatively and said: "General Zhang, you have worked hard all the way, rest for a few days first, and then arrange tasks for you after the follow-up troops of our army are in place." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xinghua immediately stood up and saluted.

…………

Five days passed, but the US troops did not attack again, but carried out a chaotic artillery bombardment of the Songshan defense line from time to time every day without the slightest regularity.

After each shelling, there was no attempt to attack.

For five days in a row, the officers and men of the Dian army were accustomed to it, and as soon as the US bombardment was carried out, they immediately hid in the cat's ear hole and the air-raid shelter that they had dug.

After the shelling, he came out again, but his expression was not as nervous and vigilant as before.

After many people got out of the bunker and entered the trench, they directly leaned against the trench with their guns in their hands and closed their eyes to recuperate, but only the elite paratroopers brought by Wang Dafei still maintained enough vigilance.

As soon as they came out of the fortifications, they quickly entered the combat position and state, and the muzzle of the gun was always aimed at the front, and once the American army attacked, they could immediately open fire to block it.

Halfway up the mountain, in the headquarters.

Inch Xingqi was a little breathless, and said to Wang Dafei: "Brother Wang, it's really strange, Shangfeng ordered us to stick to the spot and not take the initiative to attack, but why does this Yankee still have a tacit understanding with us, and there has been no movement for a few days?"

They're not going to be doing some kind of machia, are they? ”

"I can't guess for sure, but now that a large number of our reinforcements have arrived on the east bank of the Nu River, they can cross the river at any time for reinforcements, and the Yankees stop attacking, which may be related to this." Wang Dafei analyzed.

"You mean, the U.S. military is afraid of the arrival of our main force, so they are holding back?" Inch Strange Road.

Wang Dafei shook his head, "It's hard for me to judge this, but since our reinforcements arrived, they also stayed on the east bank, neither did Jiang counterattack the US army, nor did they reinforce us, and Shangfeng's intention is quite intriguing." (To be continued......)
