Chapter 361: Hidden Dragon 2

It is necessary to keenly discover the prospects of new weapons in advance in order to preemptively occupy a place in the field of advanced weapons, to make up for the lack of quantity with quality, and to narrow the gap in industrial strength between the northwest and Japan. After all, Japan's aircraft production is much higher than that of the Northwest, and if the Northwest can tie the ratio of 3 to 2 with the Japanese Air Force, it will be equivalent to indirectly shortening the production volume between them by one-third. And the gap will get closer and closer. At this time, the slight mass advantage of the northwest was laid out in advance on the lower monoplane fighters. If the two sides start from the same place and develop the same type of aircraft at the same time, the predicament faced by the Northwest Air Force will be unimaginable.

"The jet in front of you is just the beginning, not the end." Xiong Dazhen said with great certainty. As the heart of the dragon turbine engine still has a variety of drawbacks, the power still has a huge room for improvement, it is not too difficult to improve the power, but the turbine engine as a new development is not yet mature engine, is destined to have all kinds of failures. If these failures can be resolved, such aircraft will soon be in service with the troops. Xiong Dazhen clenched his fists, one day, he wanted the Northwest Air Force to use the aircraft he designed.

"I didn't expect the jet in the Northwest to be designed so early." At this time, the jet plane was not much to look at, and when Xiong Dazhen and Ge Shimin stood on the airport, Jiang Li was also a little surprised in his office, after all, Xiong Dazhen had only completed the improvement of the turbine engine more than half a year ago. Although the turbine engine was new at this time, it was not a secret, and although the German side encouraged similar development, the military did not pay much attention. Jiang Li's connections in Germany can even be found out that Feng Ouhai of the University of Göttingen has conducted many similar experiments. But the jets over there are just models. It will be at least a few months before an airplane is built. Although one step ahead does not necessarily mean that one step ahead will be one step ahead, Xiong Dazhen's competitiveness did make Jiang Li once again see that as long as the intellectuals of the Republic of China have enough learning platforms, they are not inferior to those scholars and engineers of the great powers.

Of course, Xiong's team was able to make a breakthrough so quickly because of his support for the jet program, which is more abundant than Feng Ouhai's others. It's only been 37 years since the Northwest built its own jet. Even if it takes five or six years to make jet fighters successfully put into service with the Northwest Air Force, it can also make the Northwest Air Force occupy a place in the world flight corps, even if the time is a year or two slower, it is not too late, as for Japan's Zero War, let them hell with it, and when the Northwest Wyvern grows up to deal with Zero War, it should not be much worse.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, after all, the future aviation force can influence the outcome of the battlefield. The significance of an advanced fighter is immeasurable.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside.

"Commander. The Japanese made a move, and Wanping County was in danger. The Japanese army is heading straight at Pingjin! Feng Zhanhai, Li Du, Wang Tiehan and others strode in. Also with him was President Zhou from northern Shaanxi.

"With the current situation, it is inevitable that the Chinese nation will fight against the water." Mr. Zhou also looked at Jiang Lidao.

"In that case, let's fight. Take a telegram with Yang Hucheng, the Japanese are stirring up trouble and are going to fight. In addition, he also sent a telegram with Yu Xuezhong, hoping that the Northeast Army could fight a good battle and wash away the shame of Fengtian and the Great Wall. If we don't fight for strength, the limited resources in the future can only be balanced by other troops. Jiang Li said.

"Commander, wouldn't that be too straightforward?" Feng Zhanhai said hesitantly.

"Directly? Since retreating into the Guannai, the Northeast Army has fought a series of battles, has it fought a decent battle? This kind of disease to the root of the troops, we have to take a fierce medicine to treat it, the best cure is good, if it can't be cured, then don't blame me for the neck of the Northeast Army. Jiang Li said in a cold voice, since Zhang Xueliang detained Jiang, Nanjing has cut off the military control of the Northeast Army, and Shaanxi alone naturally cannot afford to support the Northeast Army, although the standard of the Northeast Army is quite inferior to the Northwest Army at this time, but after all, there is a base of more than 200,000, and Jiang Li is naturally unwilling to raise such a force that cannot fight just by consuming the army.

"The commander is right, when the national crisis is at hand, our strength is already weaker than Japan, so naturally every bit of strength must be used in practice, and resources cannot be wasted in useless places. If the Northeast Army can't help it, then let someone else come. Zhao Tieshu, who was dispatched, hurried over, and his voice was like an iron tunnel.

"Let's hope they'll be ashamed." Huang Xiansheng also walked to the door at this time and said hello to Mr. Zhou, although the Northwest Army has the heart to fight to the death, but it is only a few hundred thousand people who have survived, although Jiang Li and Huang Xiansheng have done a lot of work in the Northwest over the years and replaced a number of old officials, but if they want to launch the war machine in the entire Northwest, they can't do it alone. Northern Shaanxi will play an irreplaceable role.

"Inform the airport that I am going to Xi'an and discuss with Yang Hucheng and Mr. Zhu about the specific dispatch of troops." Jiang Li said.

"Now that the Northeast Army is not stable, it is better for the commander to wait for the new troops to arrive in Xi'an." Mr. Zhou hesitated and said.

"Why, Mr. Zhu is also over there, you are not afraid of hardships and dangers, I am also a party member now, are you still afraid of these?" Jiang Li smiled, since Wang Yizhe was assassinated, there has indeed been a certain amount of turmoil in the Northeast Army, if it weren't for Liu Zhanxiong leading the 3rd Army to block the Tongguan area at this time, I am afraid that at least a few divisions of troops would have gone to Henan to defect to Nanjing. At this time, the 17th Route Army was sitting in Xi'an, and there was no way out. Liu Zhanxiong's 3rd Army in the east blocked Tongguan, Jiang Wenhao's Northern Sichuan Group Army in the south was piled up there, Tianshui in the west, and Longnan's army was less than a day's journey to Xi'an by train. This is no more protracted than the arrival of Chiang's Central Army in Xi'an. Besides, it's not the first time I've been to Xi'an.

"Left and right this war of resistance, to transfer the army out, it is better to look at the humble post sooner or later, otherwise I don't know what kind of changes will happen in Pingjin, the most in the past war of resistance was only one army during the Great Wall War of Resistance, this time may not be enough, the Japanese army has been operating in the northeast for so long, the foundation has been solid, when sending troops to Henan, you can also build two airports in Henan by the way, to facilitate the transfer of the air force in the northwest." Li Du suggested.

"Chief of Staff Li's method is good, we couldn't get through the relationship with Henan before, but our troops pass through Henan, and it is not something that Liu Zhi's side can manage." Feng Zhanhai agrees authentic.

"Okay, according to the regulations originally drawn up by the staff department, send troops east." (To be continued.) )
