A light rain dissipated the summer heat a lot, the air was a little cool, the golden wheat fields were now bare, the harvest of summer grain filled the whole region with a joyful atmosphere, the roads were full of horse-drawn carriages delivering public grain, although the national government announced that the Shandong region would be exempted from taxes for two years, but the Jiaodong region was under the control of the GCD

Without the grain that nearly 100,000 troops and a huge party and government staff would not be able to maintain their operations, the border district government ordered a reduction of 30% of the public grain, a decision that made the local people feel inexhaustible.

As time went on, the local people became more and more interested in the airport, and the Americans here were not as scary as they thought, and they often acted in ridiculous childish behavior, which greatly reduced their vigilance.

Nearby villagers were also attracted by the occasional loudspeakers at the airport, and after the Americans moved in, each of their camps set up loudspeakers, which often broadcast the situation of the battle in various places, and also conveyed political orders.

According to the Associated Press, the Allied forces that landed in Normandy, under the command of General Eisenhower, repelled the German counteroffensive and captured the important town of Sewan in southern France,.........,。

"According to the BBC, today the Allies sent 1,200 aircraft to bomb all the main roads south of Paris, making it difficult for the Germans to reinforce the Normandy front...............

"According to the news from Xinjiang from the Central News Agency, General Bai Chongxi announced that the rebels in Xinjiang have reached the end of the day, General Hu Zongnan led the army to conquer Tacheng, the rebels were defeated in a hurry, General Liu Wenhui led the main force of the 24th Army to conquer the iron plate Maiti, from the south bī near Ili, the rebels who suffered a heavy defeat are gathering in Ili, ready to fight the trapped beasts,............"

The people here don't know where Europe is, and they don't know what the Associated Press and BBC are, but from the announcer's nice voice, they can sense that the war is going to be won.

According to the Central News Agency, after the Sino-Soviet peace agreement was reached, the main force of the Soviet army moved eastward, preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese army occupying the Far East, and the main force of our army also moved eastward, preparing to launch an attack on the main force of the Kwantung Army in Japan. Compatriots, since 918, the three eastern provinces have been lost for thirteen years, and the National Revolutionary Army has stood in the northeast, and this time, we will definitely be able to recover the entire northeast! ”

Obviously, the last passage was added by the announcer herself, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, the war situation was unprecedentedly good, the Allies had won brilliant victories on all fronts, and after the Allies landed in France, they formed a flank attack on Germany from east to west, reproducing the scene of the last war, and Germany's defeat was inevitable.

In Asia, the Japanese army was defeated in successive battles, China recovered a large number of territories, the Chinese, British and American coalition forces in Southeast Asia and the Japanese army opened a sit-down war, containing a large number of Japanese forces, in the Pacific, the US army approached the Philippines and the Mariana step by step, and the absolute defense circle of Japan was threatened.

The most important thing is that Japan is already under the direct attack of the allies, and the allies have told the people of Japan through this action that they are on the verge of defeat and that they will no longer have a safe shelter, and all the promises that the Japanese officials have declared to them that Japan will not be attacked are lies!

The bombing that lasted for half a month made the news of the bombing disappear from the front page of the newspaper, and the vast majority of reporters left the airfield, which made the tired pilots feel some relief, and the only planes that were dispatched to bomb were the B29 super control fortresses, and the B17 bombers had not yet been put into battle, but the number of B29 bombers was too small, and the sorties were frequent, which not only made the pilots tired, but also made the planes tired.

Looking at the cheering pilots and mechanics outside, Li Mei's expression was very gloomy, in contrast to the dazzling sunlight outside the window.

There are dozens of aerial photos scattered on the table, Gao Zhihang, Xue Muhua and Rejimi are looking at the photos, the ceiling fan above their heads is turning weakly, so that the slight wind does not blow away the photos on the table.

"Sir, the number of planes must be increased, and our dozens of planes alone will definitely not be enough to destroy Tokyo." Rejimi threw the photo in his hand on the table, looked up at Li Mei's back and said.

The extent of the destruction of the Tokyo port area can be clearly seen in the photos, but unfortunately, their efforts are not proportional to their gains, the production of the port area is still continuing, the Tokyo steel plant is still producing steel, and the Japanese themselves have also noticed the goals of the Allied air forces, and almost all the city's fire extinguishers have been transferred to the port area, and they are ready for battle.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff held that the increase in planes could certainly intensify the blow to Japan, but taking off from Jiaodong, the logistics line was too far away, and every time a meal of fuel was delivered, eight tons of oil would be consumed on the road, and the logistics line was simply not enough to meet the needs of the front, and only after the Pacific Fleet conquered Marianas. Only after solving the problem of sea transportation can the air base in China be greatly expanded.

To this end, Wei Dexiang proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to build an air base in North China, expand the port of Qingdao, and build a large oil base in Shandong to reserve materials, Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to propose that the current financial situation of China could not complete such a project, hoping that the United States could pay for it, and in addition, he hoped that the United States would agree to the issuance of $500 million in war bonds by China in the United States, and Roosevelt agreed after hesitation, and at the same time paid about $100 million in the construction cost of the Shandong airport in the early stage to China, but Roosevelt also put forward conditions. Chiang Kai-shek was asked to make the expansion of Qingdao Port a priority.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek had no reason to refuse, but he was also cautious, and sent Chen Cheng and Wei Demai to North China to discuss with Tang Enbo Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua suggested that the airfield should not be too concentrated in Shandong, especially Jiaodong, and should be expanded to North China, so that it could also support the Northeast operation at the same time, and suggested that the airport in Jidong should be expanded, and the airports in Tianjin, Beiping, Langfang and other places in North China should be expanded, and the Tanggu port should be expanded, and these military projects should be used to digest refugees.

The successive construction of military projects promoted industrial development to a certain extent, and Fan Xudong quickly started a cement plant in Tianjin, and four more factories were ready to be put into operation. Although Shandong was the first to recover, Shandong's industrial base was even worse, so it still lagged behind Tianjin.

"Logistics is a big problem, and Washington's opinion has some truth" Xue Muhua said while lying on the table, bowing his head and looking at his achievements, during this time, he had to fly once a day, and the result was that the god was very happy and his body was very tired.

"Yes, even a hundred or so planes are already unbearable for logistics, and even if they increase logistics, even if they are all used to transport fuel, it is not enough." Gao Zhihang leaned back in his chair, his hands straightened, he also flew twice, and he just landed today.

Gao Zhihang also considered this problem, but the logistical pressure is too great, from Yangon to Jinan, tens of thousands of kilometers of road, there are thousands of kilometers in the middle of the train, can only rely on car transportation, both consumption and transportation volume is difficult to be satisfactory, so he supports not increasing the number of planes for the time being, just make full use of the current planes.

But Li Mei was unwilling, and finally he was able to take charge on his own, so he gave up like this, he was unwilling. The runway is a dazzling white light, almost every plane has a mechanic busy, continuous bombing, although few are shot down, but many are injured, every time they come back, the mechanic has to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft.

"Throw the B17 into the bombing, do you think it's okay? ..., Li Mei suddenly turned around and asked.

There are more than 600 B17s in the battlefield of China, but these B17 models are different, the latest B17E

type, there is no battlefield in China, and the maximum ceiling of B17C has reached more than 11,000 meters, but this model is as few as B29, and the most is the B type produced by China itself, and the ceiling of this aircraft is about 7,500 meters, which is within the attack range of the zero aircraft.

"Type B17C is fine, but Type B is riskier." Gao Zhihang understood what Li Mei meant, he would never just stare at Type C, and the huge number of Type B was also in his plan.

"I think it's okay, as long as you plan... Thoughtful, Type B can also be put into battle. Li Mei turned around and walked to the blackboard, picked up chalk and drew on the blackboard, and explained while drawing: "The defense capability of the B17 is very good, which has been verified in Germany, although the firepower of the Zero fighter is strong, but if you make full use of the formation, you can reduce the threat of the Zero In addition, the bombing of the B17 can be carried out at night, judging from the photos, our bombing points are relatively scattered, and the effect is very low, we should change our tactics." "How?" Gao Zhihang was a little interested.

"First of all, our bombing point is too high, which leads to an increase in deviation" Li Mei drew a line below: "Reducing the bombing altitude to 3,000 to 5,000 meters is risky for us, but I think it's worth it, first let the pilot plane blow up a mark." Li Mei said and drew two straight lines with jiāo forks, and struck on the blackboard with her chalk hand: "Other planes dropped bombs around these two lines, and we put in 300 to 400 bombers at a time to carry out group bombing." ”

This is an extremely risky plan, Gao Zhihang stared at the blackboard and thought quietly, Xue Muhua and Rejimi changed their eyes, Rejimi muttered in his heart, if the pilots knew, they didn't know how to scold their mother.

Gao Zhihang picked up a piece of chalk from under the blackboard, drew two parallel lines on the blackboard, and then dotted some white dots between the parallel lines: "Isn't this better?" "It's better than that." Xue Muhua also picked up chalk and drew a square on the blackboard. Li Mei's plan is very risky, but Gao Zhihang and Xue Muhua are both adventurous "crazy people", as soon as Li Mei proposed his plan..., the two of them began to like this plan after a little thought.

", these crazy people." Rejimi cursed in his heart, the bomb altitude dropped to 3,000 to 5,000 meters, although the accuracy has been greatly improved, but the danger has also doubled, and it is not known how many fighters the Japanese Ben has retained. Except for the first and second takeoffs, the rest of the planes did not take off at all, and it is not clear how much the Japanese Air Force has now. But Rejimi did not know how much of an impact this decision of Li May had on the course of the war...
