Chapter 1105 Break Free

Cheli Airport is located in the ancient Cheli County (now Jinghong City) southwest of 4.5 kilometers, covers an area of five square kilometers of the airport around the terrain is gentle and lush, thirty or forty meters high trees stretch into a forest, the sky is reckless, the small river that flows in the north of the airport is called the Liusha River, the snake to the east five kilometers, bypassing the south of the county, into the Lancang River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The two brand-new barracks on the north side of the airport, which can accommodate regimental combat units, are located on the south bank of the Liusha River, and the large hall between the two barracks is being topped out.

Cheli Airport is one of the three major airports in southern Yunnan of the Anjia Army, and it is also the southernmost airport, the airport is of extremely important strategic significance, to put it simply, after the Air Force Fifth Regiment that is secretly preparing to be stationed in, Yangon, Vientiane, Laos, Hanoi, Annam, and even Wuzhou, Guangxi, are all within the combat radius of the Anjia Army's large bombers and twin-engine attack aircraft.

Considering the protection and control of the trade route to the sea in southern Yunnan, as well as the strategic position of southern Yunnan adjacent to the three countries, An Yi attaches great importance to the three major airports in southern Yunnan, and Cheli airport is designed and built according to the standards and scale of Minjiang Airport in Syria.

An Yi's ultimate goal is that the airport can accommodate two regiments of the Air Force and one main army division, therefore, after the airport is built, all kinds of ancillary facilities have also entered the intense construction, the area of 15 square kilometers on the south bank of the quicksand river between the airport and the county seat has been leveled, and a large number of towering ancient trees and beautiful hills have been retained, and within a year, this place will become the location of the military family area, school, and field hospital that can accommodate 10,000 people, and the two reinforced concrete bridges on the quicksand river have begun intense construction.

Accompanied by Air Force Commander Huang Yuyi, Regiment Commander Yu Zhixiang, Commander of the 36 th Air Force Regiment Xia Jian, and Garrison Commander Dai Zhengliang, An Yi spent two and a half hours inspecting all the facilities at the airport.

Huang Yuyi, Yu Zhixiang and other air force generals and colonels were greatly surprised by this, the southern Yunnan Air Force headquarters is located in Simao, and Simao Airport has a complete aircraft repair workshop, complete maintenance equipment and warehouses, An Yi suddenly proposed to increase the function and scale of Cheli Airport, almost reaching the level of Simao Airport, absolutely not a whim, there must be a greater plan and goal.

At the request of his brothers, Huang Yuyi caught up with An Yi in a few steps and solemnly raised his doubts:

"Commander, it stands to reason that the scale and function of our Cheli Airport have far exceeded that of Yichang Airport, and it is a bit extravagant and wasteful to build a large area of ancillary facilities equivalent to Simao Airport? The air distance between the two airports of Cheli and Simao is only 87 kilometers, and the distance from the Lancang military airport in the west is only 105 kilometers. ”

An Yi thought for a moment and asked with a smile: "Bingyi, are you satisfied with being an air force commander who is only in charge of three regiments?" Don't you want to become the commander of the air force of the entire Great Southwest? Don't want to be the commander of the Air Force with five or six air combat regiments or even ten air combat regiments, with its own Airborne Forces, radar troops, air defense units? It's okay if you don't want to, but your brothers do! With such a large scale of our air force, there are only two generals, you and Lin Fei, don't you seem a little shabby? Who of the regiments and brothers under your command does not want to be a general? ”

Xia Jian, Dai Zhengliang and others laughed, and Huang Yu, a first-class air force general, was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally knew that his air force unit was going to be expanded on a large scale.

Back at the 25-meter-high airport command building, An Yi felt that it would be better to tell everyone the goal clearly, so he instructed the confidential secretary Zhao Bohan to take out the map and put it on the big table, An Yi pointed to the map and told everyone one by one:

"As the saying goes, there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and it is far from enough for our air force to have only two major bases in southern Sichuan, Xufu and Simao in southern Yunnan. According to the first phase of the strategic plan, the headquarters of the Syrian government and the original three flying regiments, the direction of operations is the main areas of the country in the east, including the most important North China and East China, this goal has been basically achieved, the reason why we have not expanded in the past year is only one reason: there is no major war, and I really do not want to use our planes to fight a civil war, and every bomb is flowing with the blood of our Chinese.

"However, after the conflict in North China, in order to prevent the arrival of a large-scale war between China and Japan, our aircraft factory began to work overtime, and more than 1,500 students of various majors from the South Sichuan Institute of Technology graduated ahead of schedule and entered the aircraft factory, and all the 180 German and American imported engines as a strategic inventory were used, and the A26 twin-engine attack aircraft that had just been finalized was also put into mass production. Although there is no fighting in North China, our aircraft production has just entered a good run-in period, so we cannot stop there, and the six large bombers, 15 A26 high-altitude long-range attack planes, and eight reconnaissance planes that have been tested and can be delivered are now quietly waiting in the hangar at Minjiang Airport. ”

The generals suddenly realized, and then they realized that the reason why An Yi did not expand the scale of the air force for a long time was not only a matter of military spending, but also due to the highest and strategic requirements.

An Yi then put forward the direction of the development of the air force: "At present, the largest air force in China is the Central Air Force, with more than 260 fighters in eight brigades, followed by Chen Jitang's Guangdong Air Force, which also has more than 230 fighters of various types, and the pilots are of good quality, most of them come from overseas Chinese children who have received rigorous training abroad. In the end, we and Uncle Luan's Xiangxi Air Force have a total of more than 130 fighters of various kinds, but the performance of our fighters is far stronger than that of other departments and old old fighters, and our pilots are far superior to the pilots of various departments.

"For several years, we have kept a low profile, except for the A25 single-engine attack aircraft and the AN5 large transport aircraft, which are showing off our domestic market, the other three advanced new fighters have not been unveiled, not to mention the large bomber with a range of up to 6,000 kilometers and a bomb load of up to two tons.

"There are many reasons for this, worrying about calculations, worrying about threats to various factions in the country, etc., the most important thing is that we cannot expose our strength so early, and we must not let the powers know the true situation of our air force, especially ***, and we must do this in the next two years, which is a discipline and a strategic need."

The brothers nodded frequently, and they became more and more aware of An Yi's good intentions.

An Yi looked around and finally got to the point: "The reason why I want to strengthen the construction of Cheli Airport is because the two aviation regiments that will be formed are the main regiments equipped with the latest fighters, and the A26 twin-engine attack fighters with a speed of up to 480 kilometers and equipped with new twin 20 machine guns and aviation machine guns, a large bomber with a range of 6,000 kilometers with four engines, and a high-speed high-altitude reconnaissance plane with a speed of nearly 500 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 13,000 kilometers have reached the ceiling. Continue to make improvements. Therefore, the plan to draw outstanding officers and men from the current aviation regiments to form the 5th and 6th Air Regiments is imminent.

"This matter was supposed to be announced and discussed at a military meeting at the beginning of next month, but I think it is necessary to let your air force know first, and it is better to prepare early, seeing that a year is almost over, and the *** people have obtained benefits far beyond their imagination under the repeated compromises of my central government, and this greed will not be satisfied one day, and then a large-scale and time-consuming Great Patriotic War will begin, and time will not wait!"

"Commander, my subordinates understand! The subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the commander! ”

Huang Yuyi stood solemnly and saluted An Yi, he knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders would be next.

"Never disappoint the Commander's expectations!"

Seven or eight Air Force officers echoed in unison and saluted solemnly.

An Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, and waved his hand to let everyone feel free: "Brothers, my An Yi's expectations are small, and the expectations of the country and the nation are big!" This is what I say from my heart, although I have great trust in my brothers, but I also ask the brothers to think more about the country and the nation, the people of the three eastern provinces and the Recha region who are struggling under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders, and the millions of square kilometers of rivers and mountains, for thousands of years, loyalty to the country and the nation has been the strongest.

"If one day, the brothers find that I am a country and a nation, and that I am not worthy of being followed by the brothers, the brothers can leave at any time, but as long as the brothers believe in me An Yi for one day, I hope that everyone will fulfill their duties, be conscientious, and determined to become the best air force in China and even in the world, and we can meet and know each other, fight side by side, and be close to each other like brothers, isn't it precisely under the greatest goal of doing everything for the interests of the motherland and the people? This is not empty talk, but a big truth, and I encourage you to do so! ”

"Commander......

The brothers looked at An Yi with a lot of emotion in their hearts, and they suddenly found that their commander was far greater than they thought, and more worthy of faithful follow.

"Okay, okay, everyone*** activities, take a walk, this place has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, I am fascinated, it is indeed a good place to recuperate...... Xia Jian, Lao Dai, walk with me. ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he walked out of the gate and walked towards the wide flat runway that stretched straight out.

Xia Jian and Dai Zhengliang strode up, walked through the wide parking shed, and came to the grass on the edge of the runway, Xia Jian broke the silence:

"Commander, is it possible that the situation in the central government has changed, and our position will also undergo unpredictable changes?"

An Yi nodded appreciatively: "Yes, I can use my brain." Last night in Simao, I received a secret telegram from the commissioner, saying that because of my angry resignation last time, and the serious opposition within the government and from the other side, I, the deputy chief of staff, had nothing to do, and he asked me to open some, and also said that the Syrian government camp was indeed necessary to be revoked, and he, the chairman of the committee, could not set up a camp for a long time in a place where there was no war and ***, and comforted me and said that Wang Jingwei's proposal to bring the Syrian government back under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province was opposed by him and a group of ministers. It's just that I haven't been given a position yet, but judging from the fact that the committee suggested that I transfer Yang Bin to southern Yunnan and serve as director of the newly established Southern Yunnan Appeasement Office, it shows that he and the old-timers of the central government, as well as the senior brothers of the Huangpu family, still support me, and finally truly see the huge strategic position and role of southern Yunnan. ”

Xia Jian didn't care about the Southern Yunnan Appeasement Office at all, he was so angry that he yelled and scolded loudly: "The central government of the dog day, let's recruit him to provoke him?" If we hadn't invested tens of millions of dollars in this disaster relief, would they have been able to sleep peacefully? Dare to cross the river to tear down the bridge and unload the mill and kill the donkey, just forget it! I don't believe that those grandsons are not afraid! ”

"That's right! Commander, let's learn from Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng, and also cut off all contact with the central government, Lao Tzu wants to see what will happen to those boneless grandsons, and have the ability to let them bite off Lao Tzu's bird! ”

Dai Zhengliang was also so angry that his face turned red, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, and his fists were rattling.

An Yi stopped, stared at the two loyal brothers one by one, and looked away from the two of them before he whispered:

"What's the use of being angry? I also count this matter in my heart, and I will not let our interests be harmed. Let me warn you first, don't bring your stinky temper to the troops, especially during the battle, when the commander is overjoyed and angry, and cannot control his emotions, he is the most prone to accidents. ”

"But—we're going to put up with it?"

Dai Zhengliang still couldn't dissipate his anger, and asked unwillingly.

An Yi couldn't help but smile, pointed at Dai Zhengliang and said, "What do you endure?" Old generation, tell me, let's talk about it, we are now strong and strong, we want people, money, and fame, and I don't lack fame, and my good brothers and sisters are all over the army and division, is it necessary to be a grandson now? Lao Tzu now has a thicker waist than anyone else, there are more than 300,000 brothers with one heart and one mind, and tens of millions of people under his jurisdiction, why should I endure it? It would be better to remove me from my position, so that I can break free from the shackles of my body and do it without scruples! ”

"Is this true? Top dog? Xia Jian was pleasantly surprised.

An Yi laughed: "Can this still be fake?" You and Lao Dai will give me a good defense of southern Yunnan, develop southern Yunnan, and closely cooperate with Lao Yang to carry out larger-scale army building and economic construction in southern Yunnan. In this Yellow River disaster, dozens of villages in four or five counties have disappeared, all of them have become Zeguo, and some places in Henan, Hebei, and Shandong have become yellow flood areas, and there is no hope of recovery within three to five years, and there are probably more than one million homeless victims who will come over next month, and most of them I want to be placed in the car. Starting tomorrow, in addition to the normal combat readiness duty, everyone will open up wasteland, repair canals, and build houses, and I must ensure that the task is completed within a month, and I must ensure that the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims can survive well, and everything will be fine after a year. ”

"Yes!"

Xia Jian and Dai Zhengliang replied in unison.
