If the Eighth Route Army used a new type of fighter for the first time, it shook the Quartet and even aroused the attention of the international community. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At this moment, the North China Front Army was very shocked and confused after learning the news.

All along, with the continuous rise and growth of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army has realized that the shortcoming of their arrogance is the lack of troops. Fortunately, their weapons and equipment still have a great advantage in the face of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Eighth Route Army, which attacked North China this time, not only mobilized a large number of heavy artillery units, but also used air force units that had been hidden and inconspicuous. Even this budding air force has beaten the little devil with a zero.

Even though he didn't have much rest all night, Okamura Ningji, who was paying attention to the battle in front from time to time, received a telegram from the troops in Shijiazhuang. The first reaction was whether the telegraph operator had copied it wrong, and how could it be that all their fighters had been shot down.

Most importantly, when did the Eighth Route Army have any new fighters, except for some of their old fighters captured earlier?

After being verified by telegram, Okamura Ninji didn't feel a little sleepy, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How could the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful air force? Where did these fighters come from? ”

In the face of Okamura Ningji's shock, the staff officer in charge of transmitting the information said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, the top priority now is not to investigate where the fighters of the Eighth Route came from, but how to stabilize the current unfavorable situation.

Earlier, the garrison in Shijiazhuang sent a telegram that their convoy of supplies was on the road and was under fierce attack by the Eighth Route Air Force. Many vehicles and supplies were damaged, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

Most importantly, the first batch of 20 or so fighters to appear on the battlefield did not look like Soviet-style fighters, according to the telegram sent by the garrison in Shijiazhuang. This also means that the Eighth Road has unknowingly had the strength to produce aircraft.

This intelligence is extremely important, if the Eighth Road really has such military production strength. Then it will be a mortal threat to the great cause of our empire. This means that we no longer have absolute air supremacy! ”

'You mean, the Eighth Route Army already has military factories for making aircraft? How is this possible? How long has it been since they arrived in Shaanxi, how can they have such strength? Could it be that it was supported by the Soviet Union? ’

Okamura Ninji, who asked this, did not wait for the staff officer to answer and immediately said: "Call the military department and hope that our representative in the Soviet Union will thoroughly investigate this matter as soon as possible." It is necessary to find out whether these planes were supplied by the Soviet side or not.

In addition, I hope that the Soviet side can tell what kind of cooperation they have carried out with the Eighth Route in recent years, and how much machinery and equipment they have sold to the Eighth Road. In addition, call the Admiralty and ask them to send naval forces to support.

From now on, Beiping Airport and Tianxin Airport have all entered a state of combat readiness and air defense. Before the arrival of naval aviation, all warplanes were not allowed to take off, and all military heavy places were prepared for air defense. ”

In Okamura Ningji's view, an Eighth Route Army with air force strength and an Eighth Route Army without an air force are completely two levels of the Eighth Route Army. If we do not find out the truth, sending planes to fight will only add to casualties.

At this time, the fighter squadron, which had given heavy losses to the troops out of Shijiazhuang out of the city, returned to Zhangjiakou Airport under the visual greeting of the Eighth Route Army on the ground. Seeing the safe return of these fighters, Zheng Shaoyu also seemed relieved.

Looking at these pilots who were also excited, Zheng Shaoyu didn't have time to say too many words of encouragement. The ground crew was ordered to quickly replenish the fighters with fuel and ammunition, and all the pilots were called together again.

'Comrades, I have already received a telegram of commendation from the Party Central Committee and the commanders. The leaders of our Blue Eagle fighter squadron have given full affirmation and praise to the achievements of our Blue Eagle fighter squadron, and hope that the comrades will maintain this strong fighting spirit.

In order to cooperate with the operations of our other attacking forces, we will next destroy the airfields of the Japanese army in North China and shoot down their existing fighters. Ensure the safety of our ground forces and contribute our part to the campaign.

In the course of the next battle, you will really go deep into the enemy. In the event of a crash, you should also remember the escape skills that you were taught before. Our comrades behind enemy lines will also give you appropriate help.

Of course, these words should not have been said at this time, but we must be mentally prepared for this. Next, you have to cooperate with the 3rd Squadron to destroy the Japanese airfields in Beiping and Tianyin in North China.

In addition, the important military targets provided to you by the intelligence forces earlier are also in this bombing mission. I hope you can continue to go through the past and add new achievements to our Air Force! ’

Originally, in He Zhengdao's plan, he felt that in addition to the fighter squadron's dispatch this time, the Japanese army would inevitably send a large number of air forces to urge the destruction. But he didn't expect that the Blue Eagle Squadron would play so beautifully this time.

He didn't have any damage, but he shot down all the little devils in a fighter formation. It is believed that such a record will also have a huge deterrent effect on the Japanese army, and their fighters may not dare to take off again to fight.

Since it is unlikely that the little devils will come to fight, then they must take the initiative. Before the little devils can react, blow up those targets that originally did not have many air defense facilities to relieve the pressure on the attacking troops.

So these pilots, who had just experienced an air battle, had not yet had time to catch their breath. After a brief rest and combat mobilization, the Blue Eagle squadron took off again and headed straight for the ancient city of Beiping.

In addition to the Blue Eagle squadron, the fighters captured from the Japanese army earlier were also formed into a detachment this time to participate in the air raid. After all, the Eagle did not carry such weapons as aerial bombs.

At present, most of the bombers of the Eighth Route Army were captured from the hands of small devils. After some modifications, the number of bombs that can be carried is also much higher than before.

As long as the fighter squadron destroys the Japanese fighters and those anti-aircraft weapons, the bomber formation can carry out low-altitude bombing. In this way, I believe that the results that can be obtained will once again attract the attention of the Quartet.

Looking at the fighter plane that took off from the airport again, Zheng Shaoyu also said in a timely manner: "It seems that the performance of our fighter is really much better than the fighter used by the little devil now." What a great commander! ”

In addition to sighing that this fighter is so powerful, they admire He Zhengdao who designed this aircraft even more. If He Zhengdao hadn't personally paid attention to the matter of the plane, I am afraid that they would still be flying those captured little devil planes!

The captain of the third brigade standing beside him also smiled and said, "Yes! This time, we also got off to a good start. It's just that we have a limited number of planes, and if we lose one, that's one!

Commander, it seems that you need to urge the guys in the first and second teams to master the performance of this fighter as soon as possible. Maybe it won't be long before we need to have a big fight with the little devil's air force.

Speaking of which, we have too few planes now. However, according to the commander, it will not be long before a batch of US fighters will be sent over. When the time comes, I believe that our flying regiment will also be expanded into pilots, right? ”

Regarding the inquiry of the captains of the three teams, Zheng Shaoyu smiled and said: "I don't know very well about the expansion. But I think the commander should be prepared! After all, we still have quite a few pilots now.

Although they are all rookies, most of them have flying experience. As long as we sharpen it a little more, the future will also be our successor. However, if I had a choice, I would prefer that our bombers be deployed as soon as possible. ”

'Are we ready to produce bombers now?' ’

Looking at Zheng Shaoyu's expectant expression, the captains of the three major teams also asked excitedly. As a result, Zheng Shaoyu smiled and said, "This is a secret!" When it's time to know, you'll know! ”

In fact, for the aircraft factory of the Eighth Route Army, the production of Eagle fighters alone has already made the workers of the factory work in two shifts. Basically, people rest, but machines don't.

In general, with the continuous expansion of the Eighth Route Army, the production capacity of the arsenal is also constantly expanding and improving. But even so, in order to meet the needs of the development of the troops, today's arsenals still do not have this production capacity.

It seems that they are both airplanes, and He Zhengdao knows very well that fighters and bombers are completely different aircraft. In order to provide a reference for the experts of the Aircraft Research Institute, He Zhengdao specifically requested the purchase of US bombers in the list of purchases from the United States.

Perhaps the bombers purchased now may be eliminated in the near future. But for the current Eighth Route Army, bombers are very much-needed fighters. After all, it is difficult for fighters to carry out large-scale bombing missions.

He Zhengdao also believes that with the US bomber as a blueprint, the military experts of the Eighth Route Army are fully capable of thoroughly understanding it, so as to further develop their own new bomber.

If the Eighth Route Army really marches into the Japanese bowl in the future, then long-range bombers are a must. In addition, He Zhengdao hopes to form an airborne troops, which also needs a large aircraft.

In any case, for a military power, a large aircraft is an indispensable thing. On this point, He Zhengdao is very clear. After all, the Huaxia Air Force in later generations suffered a lot in this kind of thing.

Since there are such conditions at the moment, He Zhengdao will naturally not miss this opportunity. Even if he knew that it would cost a lot of money to research a new bomber. But he felt that this kind of money should be spent!

As long as it can be before the founding of the People's Republic of China, let Huaxia have a medium and long-range bomber. Then, with the superiority of the air force, He Zhengdao believes that even the navy of the little devil will not dare to easily enter the coastal waters of China.

Using the Air Force to deter the navy of the little devils and buying time for the future Chinese Navy to develop is the method He Zhengdao thought of. After all, in a short period of time, all China can do is to implement coastal defense tactics!
