"Then can we find a way to replace a batch of fighters?" Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan meaningfully.

"Well, I'll go back to my father and see if I can trust the relationship again and buy a batch of new fighters, anyway, we have a lot of gold and ocean from the Shenyang Marshal's Mansion and the bank, it's really not good, my father has been in business for many years, and his family is well-off, so he must be able to pay in advance, and we will take the coal to pay back." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said thoughtfully.

It was a good idea to pay off the coal, so that the surplus coal could be mortgaged to his father and his merchant in the future.

It is also a good way for him to use his business network and channels to sell or export.

Combined with the tax and other revenues from the base areas in the future, he will be able to pay the officers and men his own salaries.

In addition to coal, he can also export weapons and equipment to other warlords or countries that are not enough to pose a threat to him, such as a large number of weapons and equipment hoarded in the Shenyang Arsenal, as well as captured weapons, which can be sold for money, so that he can also make a lot of money.

Zhang Xinghan thought so in his heart.

"Shizao's father has a way to get the plane?" Zhao Zhenfan was a little surprised.

"Yes, could it be that you forgot, Chief of Staff, my father has been in business for many years, and when the marshal was in charge of the Northeast, my father also had a lot of bridges with the Russians." Zhang Xinghan said.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenfan nodded undeniably: "That's right, Shizuo's family is a giant in the Northeast, and the Zhangjia business is all over the three eastern provinces, and it is reasonable to have the way of the Russians, but, Shizuo, since the Middle East Road incident, we have almost cut off trade with Soviet Russia, is Ling Zun's way still workable?" ”

"Chief of Staff, there's a saying that money can make ghosts grind, I think you've heard of it." Zhang Xinghan pretended to smile mysteriously.

Zhao Zhenfan nodded undeniably.

Zhang Xinghan said suddenly: "Chief of Staff, at present, we urgently need to recruit troops to expand the troops, starting tomorrow, you will persuade and be responsible for recruiting troops from Tongliao and the surrounding counties and villages, as well as the tribes of the grasslands in the west."

We need to recruit as many new recruits as possible to augment our forces so that we can be invincible in the next battles. ”

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to me." Zhao Zhenfan immediately nodded in agreement.

"Brother Alarm Bell, I'll go home and discuss with my father first, let him find a way, and see if he can help us buy a new fighter." Zhang Xinghan said to Huang Xian.

"Well, you should pay attention on the road, if you can buy it, you should buy more fighters with a long range." Huang Xiansheng instructed.

Bidding farewell to Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan, Zhang Xinghan left the division headquarters with Guo Zhong and a guard squad.

However, instead of rushing home, he found a remote wood, excused himself, and walked in alone.

With no one around, Zhang Xinghan took out the multi-functional watch he had been carrying.

Opening the option of aircraft in the game, Zhang Xinghan began to browse and select fighters.

Since the BF109 is limited by the range, the target selected by Zhang Xinghan this time is completely based on the range.

Soon, two fighter jets caught his eye.

To be precise, these are two carrier-based fighters.

Zhang Xinghan enlarged their pictures and saw clearly the models of these two fighters.

They are the locally-produced Zero carrier-based fighter and the American-made F6F carrier-based fighter.

As for these two fighters, there are more advanced American-made F4U carrier-based fighters, P51 Mustang Army fighters, and German ME109 fighters.

However, none of them are yet greyed out and unblocked.

Zhang Xinghan didn't bother with the more advanced fighters, because he knew that the Zero and F6F were already advanced enough.

This can be seen from the years of their service, the Zero fighter officially entered service with the army, in fact, in 1940, that is, nine years later, the F6F was even later, in 1943.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xinghan still decided to use the Zero fighter, first of all, it was inferior to the F6F, even if it was captured in future battles.

was said to have obtained the Zero in advance and produced the Zero, and Zhang Xinghan did not have to be afraid at all, because the F6F fighter, known as the Zero killer, was ready to fight at any time.

Moreover, the range of the Zero is larger than that of the F6F, with a full 3,000 kilometers and a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, which is enough to cover the entire Northeast region.

Although other surnames can not compare with F6F, they are a whole era more advanced than the most advanced fighters of the army at this time, the Type 91 and Type 95.

It is completely sufficient to deal with any sudden and various air battles of the army and air force at this stage.

In addition, the Zero not only has a large range and a large bomb load, but can also be used as a bomber, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, from a Chinese's point of view, there is nothing more pleasant than using the planes produced by the Yue himself later to deal with the current stage of the Yuben Air Force and bombing their ground targets.

After deciding to choose the Zero fighter, Zhang Xinghan immediately loaded his watch, walked out of the woods, and walked straight to his house in Tongliao Town with Guo Zhong and other guards.

When he returned home, he had a brief conversation with his father, and Zhang Xinghan asked him to cooperate with him to pretend to have trade contacts with the Russians, and told him that in the future, the sale of minerals and seized weapons and equipment in the entire base area could bring unimaginable wealth to the Zhang family.

The father, who was already a businessman, of course, fully supported his son's anti-Japanese actions.

Two days later, Zhang Xinghan received news from his father that the new fighter had been "bought," but it had to be received at the Sino-Soviet border.

"Brother Alarm Zhong, Brother Guoping, the newly bought fighter plane is about to arrive at the border, in order to help Yilan Town Guard General Li Du defeat the rebels in Changchun, I decided to personally lead the team to Harbin by the way, and first solve the problem of Xiqia and Jixing.

During the time I was away, the safety of the base area was entrusted to the two of you. In the division headquarters, Zhang Xinghan said to Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan with a serious face.

"Xinghan, why don't I lead the team to reinforce the Yilan Town Guard, and bring the plane back by the way. You stay and sit in the base. Huang Xiansheng said kindly.

"No, this batch of planes can only be flown back by our pilots in person, and they can't be transported, and the situation in Jilin is complicated, so I have to go in person." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and rejected Huang Xiansheng's kindness.

……………………… After arranging everything in the base area, Zhang Xinghan left Tongliao with Sabuli's cavalry regiment and more than 20 pilots including Liu Cuigang, crossed the Xiliao River in the north, and headed straight for Songyuan.

After a five-day journey, they arrived at Matsubara Castle and unexpectedly found a Northeast Army of less than 2,000 men stationed in Matsubara.

After sending someone to inquire, Zhang Xinghan learned that it was none other than the people stationed in Songyuan, it was the counterattack in the Battle of Changchun that caused the failure of the Yilan Town Guard and other troops to aid Shen, and the remnants of the 28th Brigade of the Han Dynasty Annihilated Ding Chao.

After a month or two of recuperation, Ding Chao recruited a new group of soldiers in the Songyuan area and restored the troops to a regiment.

Zhang Xinghan's arrival surprised Ding Chao, but when he learned that the enemy troops outside the city were all cavalry and lacked heavy weapons, Ding Chao's hanging heart was put back in his stomach.

South of Matsubara Castle, a temporary resting place for the cavalry regiment.

The commander of the cavalry regiment, Sabuli, was angry and asked Zhang Xinghan for battle: "Master, Ding Chao, a traitor, killed countless compatriots who aided Shen, and everyone was punished for it. ”

"Don't worry, Commander Sa, we lack the heavy weapons needed to attack the city, and the troops are all cavalry, if we storm Songyuan, we may not be able to capture it, and it may cause great casualties to the troops." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.

"Division, our cavalry regiment can also dismount and attack the city, as long as you give an order, you will personally lead the whole regiment to attack the city desperately, and you will definitely be able to take Songyuan City and cut off the head of Ding Chao, a bastard, and pay tribute to the compatriots who were killed by him." Sabuli said emotionally.

Seeing that Sabuli was emotional, and considering that Songyuan is an important town on the south bank of the Nen River, if he does not take this place, it will not be conducive to the next action.

Zhang Xinghan finally nodded and said, "But don't be impatient, wait until it gets dark, I'll equip you with some siege weapons before attacking." ”

"Wait until it gets dark?" Sabuli is also an anxious surname.

"Wait, you have to wait, it's much better to train a cavalry than to train an infantry, the attack target is big during the day, the casualties are large, your regimental commander doesn't take the surname of his subordinates seriously, and I am reluctant to sacrifice the brothers senselessly." Zhang Xing's Chinese tone is unmistakable.

Sabuli had to bow his head and say, "Yes." ”

In Matsubara Castle, in the compound of the 28th Brigade Headquarters of the Reading Force.

Ding Chao was pacing back and forth impatiently, and suddenly stopped and asked, "Has the Northeast cavalry outside the city withdrawn?" ”

"Not yet, look at the posture, they are planning to attack the city, or the brigade, let's retreat calmly at night, right?" After the first battle in Changchun, the adjutant had already been frightened and said cautiously.

"Fart, they are all cavalry, if we go out of the city, it will be in their arms, as long as we hold the city defense, they can't do anything about us without heavy weapons, after a long time, they will naturally retreat." Ding Chao shouted angrily.

At this moment, a deafening explosion of shelling suddenly sounded outside the city.

Ding Chao and the adjutant's faces changed dramatically when they heard this, and after a while, a communication soldier rushed in.

Before he could salute, he said: "Brigade seat, it's not good, the enemy troops outside the city are shelling." ”

"What? Shelling? Ding Chao was taken aback, and the adjutant next to him turned pale with fright.

"Yes, listening to that movement, the power is quite great, and the south gate is about to be blown down by them." The communications soldier nodded in reply with a sad face.

"Let's go, follow me to the South City Gate." Ding Chao immediately decided.

Although the adjutant was afraid, he had no choice but to take the guards to follow Ding Chao towards the south of the city.
