(I asked for collection.) )

Regarding the intervention of ground forces requested by the British, Li Guang actually had some drums in his heart, and his reply to Smith was that he needed to think about it.

Now the troops of the Naval Resistance Army in Tanggang, the situation is as follows:

The first battalion of the field was fully manned and had combat effectiveness.

The jungle battalion, which has just been replenished with enough soldiers, is running in, and does not have combat effectiveness for the time being.

The mountain battalion has just been fully manned, and it is still early to have combat effectiveness, and the battalion commander, Yang Weiwu, the leader of the special squad, has not yet taken office, and he still has an extremely important task.

Amphibious battalion, with only one company in Tang Port.

The artillery battalion was well equipped, and the gunners were also available, but there was a serious shortage of personnel. The problem of the armored battalion and the artillery battalion is exactly the same. But it was not so easy for the two battalions to be replenished, and there was a serious shortage of tow truck drivers and maintenance workers.

Although the more than 2,000 young student soldiers recruited by the chairman of the committee on behalf of the NPC chairman have undergone simple military training in Kunming, they are still far from the requirements of the Naval Resistance Army, and these people have almost been tested by the General Staff Department one by one. It has been divided into dozens of troops and sent to Stone Statue Island for intensive training. A small number were added to the artillery and armored battalions for run-in training. These 2,000 student soldiers are more than the total number of student soldiers of the Navy Resistance Army before, and they are an important force for the Navy Resistance Army to improve its combat effectiveness. The training system of the Naval Resistance Force has now been adjusted, and most of the technical arms are on Shixiangdao, while the ordinary army is trained in Tanggang.

The other part of them are Nanyang overseas Chinese youths who have just begun to be recruited, about 1,000 people, who are now undergoing basic training, and after the completion of the three-month basic training, they will be divided into branches of the armed forces to begin intensive training.

Since the Navy came to Tanggang, Li Guang had an obvious feeling that there were many Chinese in Nanyang, and it was quite easy to recruit troops here, and it was also very easy to recruit workers and attract investment, and the conditions were much better than those in Uruguay.

After three days of comprehensive consideration, Li Guang decided to use a field battalion, an armored company, an artillery company, and an amphibious company, totaling 2,000 troops.

In addition to the 100,000 pounds a month for the British, the British also bore all the costs, and in early December, 2,000 naval resistance troops were sent to Yemen for pre-war adaptation training.

Sending ground troops to work for the British, Li Guang would be too humiliating if he only valued the military expenditure of 100,000 pounds per month. Li Guang was very short of money, but he would not joke about taking the lives of 2,000 army brothers for the sake of 100,000 pounds.

There is one kind of business in this world that is the most profitable, and that is to destroy the country.

Don't look at Somalia as backward, but the Italians, the British, and the French have been operating here for decades, and once they take it, their profits are simply unimaginable. Two of the richest places in Somalia are Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, and Djibouti, which is French Somalia. It is conservatively estimated that if the Naval Resistance Army can seize one of them, it will be able to make up for the lack of materials for the infrastructure construction of Tanggang.

Of course, there is another important reason - the Naval Resistance Army is facing the most famous noodle army of World War II. If it was the German army, Li Guang would definitely be insensitive to thanks.

This is an opportunity for the Naval Resistance Force, which is still very weak at the moment, to intervene in the Middle East. Don't look at the war in Africa, but for the Middle East oil fields that Li Guang is interested in, this is an excellent opportunity to intervene. The air force units of the Naval Resistance Force are stationed in Yemen, and through a short period of time, Li Guang learned that Yemen and many countries in the Middle East are not countries in the modern sense at all, and many of them are tribal chieftains. There is absolutely room for such a system to work. Others look down on the deserts and Gobi in the Middle East, but Li Guang knows very well what the Middle East has -- oil.

Those who know a little about the history of World War II often wonder why the Germans and Japanese don't pay so much attention to the Middle East.

The answer is simple, the Middle East before World War II did not produce much oil, coupled with the harsh natural conditions, the world's major powers did not pay much attention to this. Britain is the largest colonial power in the Middle East, and the United States is only meddling.

In fact, on the Middle East and Africa issues, there are many contradictions between the Americans and the British, you must know that before Italy entered the war, the Americans were ruthless in selling military supplies to the Italians, and the Italians were able to take the initiative in the African battlefield, which was actually inseparable from the support of the Americans behind the scenes.

The Americans, whether in Asia or Europe, have always been left and right, and both warring sides can buy arms and supplies from him.

In this case, if there is a relatively good entry point, then it is not impossible for the Naval Resistance Force to build a territory in the Middle East.

Li Guang quickly transported 2,000 troops to Yemen on the grounds that the troops needed adaptive training. It was Premier Yuan Ye and a group of diplomats who went to Yemen with the army (Professor Yuan had no choice but to start teaching and cultivating diplomatic talents), and whether he could dig up a piece of land depended on Professor Yuan's level.

The army units are conducting adaptive training in the deserts and Gobi of the Middle East, and the air force has not been idle for a day. After more than a month of high-intensity and high-consumption training, the combat effectiveness of the Air Force is also rapidly rising.

By December, the Naval Resistance Force had again added twelve fighters.

Of the twelve seaplane pilots, twelve have been singled out to be transferred to the fighter unit, and the transport aircraft crew has also picked out twelve pilots to be transferred to the seaplane. Newly arrived pilots filled the gaps in the crew of transport aircraft.

The current pilot promotion procedure of the Maritime Resistance Force is basically a three-month basic intensive physical and discipline training.

Then, while learning the theory, learn to fly on the twelve oldest fighters, reach the basic level of fighter control, and simply put, be able to take off and land normally 30 times to pass. This time takes about three months.

Pilots then begin to fly seaplanes or transport planes, and in the process they are generally trained by the old and the new, to develop the pilot's air sense, basic combat skills, and initial ability to deal with abnormal situations. According to the specific conditions of the pilot, the fast learner can be promoted to a fighter pilot in one month, and the slow one needs three or four months, or even never be upgraded.

And the training of fighter pilots is quite complicated. However, there are two main training subjects in the first three months. The first is dive bombing and strafing. The second is the tactics of two-, four-, or even six-plane grouping high-altitude dive air combat.

The first is the most urgent item for the naval resistance forces in both land and sea battles.

The second is Li Guang's initiative, and in this era, most of the pilots' tactics are fighting alone. Li Guang knew the concepts of the fighter's long wingman cooperation and air marshalling, but he did not know exactly what kind of tactics it was. One of the most important tactics practiced was to approach at full speed, open fire, and quickly disengage. It was called by Li Guang as a miss, and then it flew away.

Historically, this tactic was invented by Chennault, the head coach of the famous U.S. Flying Tigers.

Li Guang knew very little about air combat tactics. Only the concept of ultra-low-altitude flight and the like, I know that the tactics Chennault invented are still the knowledge he gained from reading novels when he was in school. He knew that this tactic was the killer weapon of the P40 against the Japanese Zero. But whether the P40 with ailerons can achieve the effect of Chennault's tactics, Li Guang still does not know.

After many training and exploration, the pilots found that as long as the altitude is slightly increased, the dive speed is not lower than that of the original P40, and it can easily reach a speed of more than 700 kilometers. Although the detachment speed is not as good as that of the P40 prototype, it has good horizontal maneuverability and can fly serpentine level in the air, and it is estimated that the difficulty of detachment will not be worse than that of the prototype. In the end, I found a technique of rolling and diving, which is quite cool in the air. By the way, the inventor of this side-roll dive tactic is Liu Gensheng, the captain of the fighter squad.

Of course, the P40 fighter has been modified, and the top speed has been reduced, and if it is bitten and pursued by the enemy, it will be more difficult to get out, which is the biggest disadvantage.

In short, under Li Guang's proposition and the concerted efforts of the pilots, the naval resistance army gradually perfected this tactic. To put it simply, it's a dive attack, a flip and a breakaway.

In fact, Li Guang did not know whether Chennault's tactics were grouped, but the tactics adopted by the Naval Resistance Army were grouped operations. In Li Guang's concept, single-plane combat is the patent of a master, and the air force of the Naval Resistance Army has only been around for a year, so there is no doubt that there is no master, and as for the genius, Li Guang really hasn't discovered it.

Therefore, the fighter pilots of the Naval Resistance Force, as soon as they came into contact with fighters, had a concept of grouping and fighting.

What kind of hobbies the generals of an army have, their subordinates will inevitably be affected. If it is said that the content of the training is an urgently needed and necessary item for the Naval Resistance Force, there is a habit of pilots that is really influenced by Li Guang.

Li Guang likes to fly airplanes, but he has little interest in dive bombing, but he has an unusual preference for shooting - he likes to fire at close range.

It's not that his shooting skills are poor, it's purely a thrill seeker. At a distance of 50 meters, the fighter opened fire, and the pilot could clearly see the tragic image of the target being hit by bullets and bruised all over his body.

As a result, Li Guang's bad taste is not only circulated among pilots, but even popular. Quite a few pilots were able to easily make an aerial maneuver of firing at 50 meters. More pilots are honing this tactic, consciously or unconsciously.

Beginners who are learning to drive have a feeling that if a beginner drives a distance of 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers, he can basically be regarded as a proficient hand.

During these two months, the air force of the Naval Resistance Army had a sufficient supply of fuel and ammunition from the British, and it was literally practicing as a car with valuable fighter jets. This kind of "combat" ---- training, without logistical pressure, is extremely beneficial for the improvement of pilots.

The Air Force already has considerable combat effectiveness. Li Guang was very satisfied, and the British army had some headaches in logistics.
