Chapter 492: Test Flight Success
Chapter 492 Test Flight Success
Taipei, Songshan Airport.
Yue Weihan slowly walked down the gangway surrounded by Deng Gong, Wei Lihuang, Huang Jie, Zuo Zong and other senior generals of the four fields, Liu Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly led the senior generals of the 3rd Group Army to come forward to salute, everyone took a group photo at the airport as usual, and Yue Weihan gave a few words of encouragement to the commanders of each division one by one.
As soon as the cold noise stopped, a communications staff officer hurriedly greeted him.
The communications staff officer stood up to Liu Yi and handed over the telegram in his hand, Liu Yi took the telegram and read it in a hurry, and his face changed in an instant.
Yue Weihan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Chi Chengfeng is in trouble again, he brushed Wang Qingwei and his wife and Li Shiqun."
"Scrubbing?" Yue Weihan was puzzled when he heard this, and Deng Gong, Wei Lihuang, Huang Jie and Zuo Zong were also at a loss.
Liu Yi bit it, brushed out the torture and torture, and then excused Chi Chengfeng and said: "Boss, to say that Chi Chengfeng openly executed Han Jiān without a public trial, it is indeed a bit reckless, and his methods are also a little cruel, but with the crimes committed by the Wang couple and Li Shiqun, it is not an exaggeration to execute Ling Chi, so ......"
"So what?" Yue Weihan interrupted coldly, "I know how to excuse my subordinates." ”
"Lao Liu is not entirely excusing Lao Chi." Deng Gong next to him also finished reading the telegram, and then said, "At least from the effect point of view, this has a great deterrent effect on Han Jiān, after the news of Lao Chi's 'scrubbing' of the Wang couple and Li Shiqun spread, Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai in Shanghai, and Qi Xieyuan in Beiping directly committed suicide by taking poison." ”
"What, suicide? Cheap them too! Yue Weihan said to Liu Yi again, "Chi Chengfeng executed Han Jiān without a public trial and without asking his superiors for instructions, and the crime cannot be escaped, so he will be punished to carry a ten-month marching cauldron in the gang's room!" ”
"Yes." How could Liu Yi not hear Yue Weihan's love for Chi Chengfeng's heavy punishment? Immediately agreed.
For Chi Chengfeng, a fierce general who can both fight and cause trouble, Yue Weihan is indeed very caring, although he was dismissed from all positions in the army because of the massacre of his compatriots and demoted to the head soldier, he still retained the rank of major general.
Yue Weihan then took Deng Gong and others to inspect Taipei, Taiwan's geographical location is extremely important, in the next strategic counteroffensive, Taiwan will serve as a military base, Yue Weihan also intends to build Taiwan into China's naval base, the future Chinese navy will first be stationed in Taiwan.
…………
More than 20 days later, Baoshan County.
Chi Chengfeng carried the marching cauldron on his back, and was standing under the ruins of the broken wall to comfort Yao Changqing and other deceased souls: "Camp, have you seen it?" Shanghai is really recovered! How did the xiǎo devil snatch it back then, and how did we snatch it back today, the camp, don't you know wow, now our Baoshan battalion is a cow, and it has been expanded into a field army, and there are almost two million people, hehe. ”
"It won't be long before Nanjing will be recovered, and then our Baoshan Battalion will go north and recover Beiping!"
"When Beiping is recovered, it's time to step out of the country and counterattack the Japanese mainland, the dog day xiǎo Japan, on the ground of our China, there are no less bad things, and when they hit the Japanese island in the future, Lao Tzu wants them to look good, this old saying is good, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, blood debt must be repaid with blood, hum!"
"Alas, the camp, it's a pity you can't see it......"
"Yingzuo, if you live until now, you should do it to a first-class general, you don't know wow, Cao Xinglong is already a lieutenant general now, his grandmother's, this raw melon egg actually ran ahead of Lao Tzu, but, this matter can't be complained about, who let our Lao Chi be ruthless and kill thousands of compatriots, but I really didn't mean to, alas."
"There are only a few old brothers left who were killed together from Baoshan County, but that's okay, if they are over there to pay for you, you won't be alone, and in a few decades, our Lao Chi, Cao Xinglong, Lao Niu, and Zongza will come to meet you sooner or later, and then everyone will get together again, hehe."
After talking nonsense, Chi Chengfeng poured three more glasses of water and wine under the ruins, then turned around and got into the car and drove away.
Early tomorrow morning, the 33rd Division will embark on the journey again, this time, the task of the 33rd Division is to attack Tanggu in the north, and then directly attack Tianjin and Beiping from Tanggu! As for the battle to capture Nanjing, it has nothing to do with the 33rd Division, and it doesn't even have much to do with the entire Siye, which is something that Erye and General Ye Ting should consider.
At the moment when he stepped into the car, Chi Chengfeng's heart was still warm, and he thought that the general seat was very fierce to him on the surface, and the punishment was extremely severe, but he still cherished him in his bones, but he only hit a **āng, and immediately gave a sweet date, and the 33rd Division became the vanguard of the north attack on Tianjin and Beiping.
…………
September 29, the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943), night.
After more than 20 days of fierce fighting, more than 60,000 devil soldiers entrenched in the urban area of Shanghai were basically annihilated, and only less than two wings of devil remnants retreated along the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway, and then converged with the three Japanese divisions that went south to reinforce near Kunshan.
On September 30, Shanghai was completely recovered, the news spread, and the whole country was boiling!
The next day, Xinhua Daily, Bao Bao, Ta Kung Pao and other newspapers reported on the front page, and Chairman Máo, who was far away in Xi'an, also personally wrote an impassioned newsletter, which was broadcast to the world through the Central News Agency, and immediately Shanghai, Kunming, Chongqing, Xi'an, Wuhan and other big cities broke out on an unprecedented scale.
President Roosevelt on the other side of the ocean also sent a telegram in his busy schedule to congratulate the Chinese people on their victory.
In other words, Roosevelt's life is very difficult now, although the Allies have completed the third increase in the Balkans, but the Messerschmitt ME-262 jet fighter that the Luftwaffe has just entered service has been in full swing in air combat, completely suppressing the Mustang fighters of the US Air Force and the fighters of the British Royal Air Force.
In front of the jet fighters, the Mustang fighters were suddenly dwarfed.
Immediately afterwards, two squadrons of ME-262 jet fighters inflicted heavy damage on Allied bomber groups on German soil, and all 36 B-24 Liberator bombers that went to bomb Munich were destroyed, and none of them returned! When the news spread, there was an uproar within the Allied forces, and many US pilots openly refused to carry out bombing missions.
If it weren't for the fact that the ME-262 jet fighter had just entered service and the Luftwaffe was not equipped with a large number of equipment, I am afraid that the air superiority in the European theater would have been immediately translocated.
Thankfully, the U.S.-59 jet fighter and the British Meteor fighter have also been successfully tested and will soon be able to enter actual combat, even if these two jet fighters cannot form an overwhelming advantage over the Me-262 jet fighter in terms of technology, but a tie is definitely not a problem.
However, even if there was a tie in the air, it would be unbearable for the Allies.
Losing air superiority, the Allied forces in the Mediterranean theater can be more and more difficult, in the face of the German army's increasingly large armored clusters, the Allies have almost no effective countermeasures, the U.S. Army's large number of M4 Sherman tanks are only a medium tank, in the fight against the German Tiger and Leopard tanks, it seems a little powerless.
However, how easy is it to develop a heavy tank that can be powerful in a short period of time?
In this world, I am afraid that only the Soviet Union can barely be compared with Germany in terms of tank research and development, and now that the Soviet Union has collapsed, there is no strong armored force to compete with Germany.
…………
Yangon, Siye Command.
Yue Weihan was sulking, and Deng Chengcheng was beside him to persuade him.
Things have to start with the recovery of Shanghai, the 3rd Army has just recovered Shanghai, and even the arrested Han Jiān thieves have not had time to liquidate, and Alexander from Britain here has come to Yue Weihan in a private capacity, what is the temptation? Naturally, it was a question of the post-war order in the British Concession in Shanghai.
Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the British had a large concession in Shanghai.
What is Concession? That was the land leased by the Chinese government to the British, and in international law, it was the territory of the British Empire, at least for the duration of the lease, for example, the Chinese concessions in today's Yangon, Ringanqiang, and the Hukang Valley in Burma were Chinese legal territories for at least a hundred years.
However, after the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the British Concession also fell.
Now that the Japanese army had been driven out and Shanghai had been reoccupied, the question of whether to restore the British Concession in Shanghai was an extremely difficult one, and on this point, it was clear from Chairman Máo and the new Nationalist Government that Yue Weihan was equally adamant that a series of humiliating treaties signed between the Great Powers and the Manchu government must be abolished.
However, the British were obviously unwilling to give up their interests in Shanghai, so they sent Alexander to test Yue Weihan's tone and reaction, and then it was estimated that it would be the British government to issue a note to the national government, this British is really used to being the world hegemon, and at this time, they still want to restore the British concession in Shanghai?
However, there is one thing that is very troublesome, and that is the attitude of the US government, because the British Concession in Shanghai was actually merged with the American Concession, and the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession was jointly established, and its administrative function was actually equivalent to the city hall of the concession, so if the United States strongly supported the British, this matter would really not be easy to handle.
Yue Weihan was angry, and General Wei Lihuang suddenly walked in with a red face.
"Good news, Chief!" Before he could salute, General Wei Lihuang shouted in an extremely frustrated manner, "There is news from the Shan State Plateau that the armed helicopter jointly designed and built by Kamov and Miri has been successfully test-flowned!" "This is indeed exciting good news, Yue Weihan has been waiting for three whole months.
At the moment, Yue Weihan couldn't care about being angry with the British, so he immediately asked people to arrange a special plane to fly directly to the Shan Plateau, and at the same time asked Avril to come over and let her take a photographer and tape to fly to the helicopter base on the Shan Plateau.
…………
The next day, Shan State Plateau.
A "poorly made" helicopter is doing a series of flight maneuvers between valleys and jungles, hovering, hovering, flying upside down, diving, climbing, flying in a figure 8, looping in place with the nose as the axis...... The short fifteen-minute flight stunt performance won the cheers of the audience on the ground.
Rao is Yue Weihan is used to seeing big scenes, and he can't help but blush with excitement at this time.
Nothing else, just because this helicopter gunship is of great significance to China! It's huge!
Although this prototype looks very simple, the armor on the outside has not even been painted, it looks rusty, and the machine guns and rocket launchers installed in the left and right nacelles and under the belly of the aircraft are not real standard weapons, however, this does not affect Yue Weihan's perception and evaluation of it.
From the very beginning, Yue Weihan did not want the high-pointed armed helicopter of later generations.
All Yue Weihan needs is a high-power, general-purpose helicopter equipped with protective armor, machine guns and rocket artillery, for the armored cluster of this era, such a gunship is enough to become a nightmare-level existence, and any satellite navigation, electronic cào control and laser-guided bombs are all floating clouds, and they are not needed at all now.
Avril, who had the privilege of attending the show, did not realize what the helicopter meant to the Allies.
However, the ensuing simulated confrontation finally made Avril understand the horror of this strange-looking helicopter, and the most incredible thing happened when the gunship, under the cover of the treetops, approached from the flanks to the head of the armored group of five armored vehicles.
The helicopter gunship adjusted its flight attitude slightly, and destroyed five armored vehicles on the ground one by one with rockets mounted under the belly, but the armored vehicles on the ground could not threaten the helicopter in the sky at all, the main gun could not hit the target in the sky at all because of the horn of the gunship, and although the high machine gun could reach it, it could not penetrate the protective armor of the gunship.
In less than five minutes, the five armored vehicles on the ground were destroyed with a crisp landing, and the whole process was without suspense!
Avril was completely shocked, she is a Reuters war correspondent in Myanmar, and she is naturally not ignorant of military affairs, in fact, Avril is a real military enthusiast, she suddenly thought of the European battlefield in full swing, if the Allies can be equipped with such helicopter gunships in large quantities, then, Nazi Germany's armored cluster is not a threat at all!
