Chapter 460 Helicopter gunship

When the grain speculation movement in Burma was brewing, and the plan for the Great Southwest Battle of the Japanese Central China Front was in full swing, Yan'an welcomed a group of special guests, this is a group of Russian guests, composed of dozens of armed men and more than a dozen scientists, accompanied by a few camel documents!

This matter has to start with the Soviet coup d'état more than a year ago, when Molotov launched the coup d'état, due to the lack of careful planning, Stalin got the news in advance, and finally although he barely seized power, he also let Stalin escape, Stalin also took with him most of the experts of the Soviet scientific research institutions and all the documents.

After Stalin's demise, these scientists and documents fled with Zhukov to Central Asia.

As a loyal old Bolshevik, Zhukov certainly did not want to let these Soviet experts and documents fall into the hands of the Axis powers, but he was unwilling to watch these research results disappear, and seeing the living conditions of the partisans in Central Asia getting worse and worse, Zhukov finally decided to send these experts and materials to Yan'an.

Zhukov's heart is actually struggling with this decision, but whether it is from the ideological point of view or from the perspective of the international pattern, the CCP is undoubtedly the most suitable recipient, anyway, Zhukov's guerrillas will not be able to keep this group of experts and materials, unless he can ruthlessly kill all the experts and destroy all the materials.

In fact, Zhukov still had a trace of luck in his heart, in his opinion, even if the CCP had achieved a strategic advantage over Xing, but in a short period of time there was no possibility of defeating the Japanese, so even if Soviet experts and documents were sent to Yan'an, it would be difficult to fundamentally change China's scientific research strength in the short term.

As soon as the situation in Europe is reversed and the Soviet Union is restored, these experts will be able to return home immediately.

To put it bluntly, Zhukov's goal is not to really help the CCP authorities improve their scientific research capabilities, but to protect this group of Soviet experts and research results, because in the current situation, Zhukov's partisans are no longer enough to protect this group of experts and research results.

Of course, Zhukov did not intend to give this group of experts and materials to the CCP in vain.

The Soviet envoy made it clear that the experts and drawings that came were only a very small part, and that only after the Chinese Communists had provided Zhukov's remnants of the defeated army with a base for recuperation, and at the same time provided another $5 million and urgently needed food ammunition, Zhukov would transfer most of the experts and documents to the Chinese Communists.

In short, unless the CCP shows enough sincerity, Zhukov would rather kill the vast majority of the remaining experts and destroy all the literature and materials, and will never bargain the CCP authorities in vain.

Mao Lamyin, the 2nd Armored Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Yue Weihan, Wei Lihuang, Stilwell, Deng Gong, Zuo Zong, Huang Jie, and other senior generals of the Expeditionary Force were observing the military exercises of the 2nd Armored Division on the spot; the Chinese Expeditionary Force is currently only organized into two armored divisions, of which the tank regiment and automobile regiment of the Fifth Armored Army are the backbone, and the 2nd Armored Division is formed on the basis of the cavalry brigade of the former 39th Group Army.

Of course, at the beginning of the formation of these two armored divisions, a large-scale exchange of their soldiers was carried out, and all the illiterate officers and soldiers were transferred to other field divisions, while a large number of literate and hyphenated young students joined these two units.

This is also an inevitable result, the armored corps is a high-tech branch, how can it be done without culture?

Among them, all the equipment of the 1st Armored Division was aided by the United States, and it has been organized for more than half a year!

However, compared with the serious American-made equipment, the American equipment made in Yangon is not inferior in quality, because the tank production line of the Yangon base was originally disassembled and transferred from the United States, and even the experts and skilled workers were brought from the United States.

Perhaps because the equipment time is too short, although the officers and men of the 2nd Armored Division have mastered sufficient theoretical knowledge, they always make frequent business trips when they are actually doing this, especially the jungle and swampy terrain in Southeast Asia, which has a great impact on the tactical actions such as the assembly, formation, and assault of the armored troops.

After half a day of observation, Yue Weihan was very dissatisfied with the performance of the 2nd Armored Division.

The commander of the 2nd Armored Division standing behind Yue Weihan is still Liu Fengsheng, the former commander of the cavalry brigade, a fierce general from the Northeast Army, but the chief of staff has become Ye Xiaoxian, a returned overseas Chinese, and Zhao Youting, the former chief of staff of the cavalry brigade, has been transferred to the special operations division because of his lack of education.

Liu Fengsheng and Ye Xiaoxian both felt a little unbearable on their faces, the 2nd Armored Division was the old foundation of the original 39th Group Army, it was a unit that started with the General Seat, but now it can't adapt to high-tech ordnance, and it is completely lost to Hu Xianqun's 1st Armored Division in terms of technical and tactical level, isn't this a slap in the face of the General Seat?

Seeing Yue Weihan's embarrassed face, Stilwell persuaded: "Yue, you don't have to worry too much, I see that the appearance and training atmosphere of the 2nd Armored Division are very good, but because the equipment time is still short, and the personnel and equipment have not yet formed a tacit understanding, so the exercise effect is not satisfactory. ”

"Yes, loyalty." General Wei Lihuang also nodded and persuaded, "Besides, the jungle and swampy terrain in Southeast Asia are indeed not conducive to the mobility of heavy armored troops, I think it is already remarkable that the 2nd Armored Division can have such a level, at least it is more than enough to pack up the Japanese half-ass tank troops." ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said leisurely: "Alas, it would be nice if there could be an armed helicopter." ”

Yue Weihan also made Liu Fengsheng's performance of the 2nd Armored Division angry, so the concept of armed helicopters suddenly jumped out of his mind, speaking of which helicopters have also appeared in this era, but now only general-purpose helicopters appear, which have neither attack capabilities nor protection capabilities, and armed helicopters in the real sense will not appear until the end of the sixties.

Speaking of which, helicopter gunships are the nemesis of armored targets on the ground, and the nickname of the treetop killer is not for nothing.

It's a pity that there are no experts in helicopters in the Nanyang Associated University, and the scientific research foundation of the expeditionary force is still too weak. If it were really organized into an army aviation unit, the Japanese tank unit would be a bunch of live targets, and the German army would in turn become the target of the US blitzkrieg!

When Yue Weihan was outside the wandering object, Deng Gong suddenly stepped forward and said, "Zhongshu, take a step to speak." ”

At that moment, the two came to the corner of the observation post, and then Deng Gong said in a low voice: "Zhongshu, Yan'an called, saying that Zhukov's Soviet Russian guerrillas have been transferred to the Sino-Russian border area, and ask the Chinese communists to accept them and provide funds and materials, and as compensation, Zhukov will send hundreds of experts and several truckloads of documents and materials to China." ”

"What? Hundreds of experts and a couple of truckloads of literature? Yue Weihan was awe-inspiring when he heard this.

Deng Gong lit a cigarette and said, "However, Zhukov wants us to provide us with $5 million!" ”

"What? $5 million!? Yue Weihan immediately repeated loudly in disbelief, "$5 million!?" ”

Deng Gong smiled bitterly: "Zhukov's appetite is a bit big, 5 million US dollars is too much, 500,000 can be considered......"

"No, no, no, Zhukov's appetite is not big at all!" Yue Weihan hurriedly interrupted Deng Gongdao, "Zhukov really wants to be able to send this group of experts and documents to China, let alone 5 million US dollars, even 50 million US dollars!" Lao Deng, these Soviet experts and documents are treasures that will never be exchanged! ”

If Yue Weihan is not mistaken, this group of Soviet experts is definitely the top, not only experts in aerospace, missiles, ships, submarines, tanks and jet aircraft, but also nuclear weapons experts, who can be bought for only 50 million US dollars, which is indeed too cheap, even 500 million is not expensive!

What makes Yue Weihan look forward to it even more is that among this group of experts, there are the fathers of Soviet and Russian helicopters - Kamov and Miri!

In Yue Weihan's previous life, some people may not know the names of Kamov and Miri, but when it comes to Ka-28 anti-submarine helicopters and MiG-28 armed helicopters, few people don't know, these two helicopters are one of the few excellent works in the arsenal of Soviet Russia!

If we can bring the two bigwigs Kamov and Miri and their helicopter drawings to Yangon, supplemented by the development trajectory of the armed helicopters provided by Yue Weihan, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will definitely be able to develop the first armed helicopter in the real sense within one year, and it will be possible to form the first army aviation force in the real sense within two years!

In this way, the Chinese Expeditionary Force can directly stand on the top of the world in the field of land aviation!

After all, this era is not the 21st century when satellites and electronics are all the rage, and Yue Weihan doesn't need the kind of Jing's secret goods like Wu Zhishi or Apache, which are piled up with high-tech electronics.

To put it mildly, to deal with ground armored targets in this era, it is enough to install machine guns and rocket launchers on ordinary helicopters, and then weld steel plates on both sides of the cabin, of course, it is not easy to make an ordinary helicopter and make it fly, it is impossible to complete without helicopter experts and a huge scientific research team.

Seeing Yue Weihan's excited face, Deng Gong said tentatively: "Zhongshu, what do you mean ......?"

"Grass, give!" Yue Weihan viciously burst into foul language, and then said, "Call back to Yan'an immediately, the five million US dollars of funding from the Nanyang Bureau has come out, but the group of experts from Soviet Russia had better let them come to Yangon, and it is best to bring the drawings with them, in addition to helping us develop new weapons, we can also bring out a large number of scientific researchers." ”

"Of course." Deng Gong nodded and said, "The central government originally thought about it like this, so I'll call back." ”

Sino-Russian border, southern foothills of the Altai Mountains.

About half a month ago, one of the guerrillas led by Zhukov personally moved to the southern foot of the Altai Mountains and temporarily found a foothold in China, but the Kazakh rebels and the Russian rebels were crushing the guerrillas from the west and north, and the guerrillas' living space was being sharply compressed.

Inside the barracks, Kamov sighed at the cold mashed potatoes and hard black bread.

Since the division of the Soviet Union, Kamov and his colleagues in the helicopter design bureau have begun, and after Stalin's escape, they have moved to the Volga region, then over the Ural Mountains, first on the Siberian ice sheet for several months, and finally they can no longer survive and go to the Central Asian plateau.

For more than a year, Kamov has been on the run, on the run, and on the run, his footprints have spanned almost the entire Soviet Union, several pairs of leather boots alone have worn out, and most of his colleagues have starved, froze to death, or attempted to escape and were shot, Kamov was able to survive only because he was an academic leader in the field of helicopters.

Looking at the hard black bread and cold mashed potatoes in his hands, and then at the leather boots that had been opened on his feet and the fur coat that had already been torn several times on his body, Kamov let out a long sigh, and suddenly he felt that it was actually quite good to stay in Moscow, at least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, let alone suffer this crime.

Just as Kamov sighed, Mikoyan walked into Kamov's tent with a black face.

Kamov is the father of Soviet Russian helicopters, Michael Yang is the father of Soviet Russian jet fighters, Michael Yang's status in the Soviet weapons science community, even far more than Kamov, in history Soviet Russia's MiG series jet fighters, but with the United States F series fighters for half a century!

"You know what?" Michael said to Kamov with a dark face, "Zhukov, a fool with a small eye, sold us all for $5 million." ”

"$5 million?" Kamov was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Mikoyang said: "Zhukov has just reached a secret agreement with the Chinese Communists to set aside the northern region for Zhukov's guerrillas to rest and recuperate, and at the same time, the Chinese Communists are responsible for providing the guerrillas with the necessary weapons, equipment, and food, and another $5 million in funds, at the price of sending us to the Chinese Communists along with all the drawings." ”

Kamov was silent, to be honest, he was fed up with the current life, as long as he could have a stable life and a comfortable place for scientific research, he really didn't want to care about anything else, he said that science has no borders, but his own research results can improve the level of human science and technology, no matter who it serves?

"Are you going?" Michael Yang said in a deep voice, "Anyway, I will not go." ”

After saying this, Mikoyan added: "I have secretly contacted some people in the people, and they all agree with my ideas and decide to resist Zhukov's stupid decision, we would rather die than give our scientific research results to other countries, rather than cheap Chinese, it is better to go back and work for Molotov." ”
