Chapter 172: I have to change my equipment
After half an hour of hard work, the submarine on the surface finally sank the cruiser that was still struggling, and the price of sinking the cruiser was that it also suffered a bomb, but fortunately, the bomb did not hit directly, and did not cause any great damage to the submarine, and it was able to continue the operation after a little repair.
The situation in the air was also reversed immediately after the arrival of 18 fighters in the rear, and all 12 fighters of the navy were shot down, while the Huaxia side was also shot down three planes, two seriously injured and five lightly injured due to problems with the pilots' skills. This battle can be described as a lose-lose situation, and it also exposes the shortcomings of the BF109B1 fighter, the most obvious of which is the lack of firepower.
Originally, the two machine guns were okay, but the reserve ammunition with only 500 bullets was more painful, and one of the three fighters that was shot down was because it suddenly ran out of bullets during the battle, and then was shot down by the enemy planes behind it instantly, fortunately, the pilot had already parachuted, but for these landlubbers, whether they could return to the shore alive is another matter.
However, the pilots' fears were apparently unfounded, and shortly after the three parachutists fell into the water, the outermost layer of their flight suits had filled up to form a life jacket, which at least guaranteed that they would not drown. Soon the three pilots were rescued by the underwater submarine.
When the fleet arrived at Jinxi Port, it was already afternoon, and at this time, the entire Jinxi Port had been completely placed under martial law by the soldiers of the 99th Army, and no one was allowed to enter, so Su Dao and others stood in the port, waiting for the fleet to dock. Su Dao already knew about the battle that happened in the morning, and he was also helpless about this situation, and it could even be said that if there was no submarine that suddenly appeared, the fleet would not have arrived at Jinxi Port smoothly.
According to the description of the pilots participating in the battle, Su Dao roughly judged that it was very likely to be a U-shaped submarine, otherwise it would not suddenly appear there, and he was not afraid of offending himself to save the fleet. As for the blue sky and white flag pasted on it, it is ten likely, the other party does not want to leak himself, which will cause his dissatisfaction.
In short, no matter which country the submarine is, as long as it can save the fleet, there are not only the equipment they need most, but also even rarer talents, and this also reminds Su Dao that it is time to engage in some fighters for ground and ship attacks, otherwise, as it is now, no one dares to guarantee that the next time the luck will be so good.
All this is just Su Dao's guess, soon, less than half an hour, the scene in front of him confirmed Su Dao's guess, dozens of huge cargo ships have appeared in front of everyone, not far from the cargo ship, a submarine is also moving slowly, good eyes can even see that there are two sailors standing on the submarine, talking and laughing and smoking.
"Oh, my God, young master, I think this is definitely good news for you, it seems that the patriarch has given you a big gift without signaling, I think you will definitely like this gift, it is really enviable!" Woodall stood beside Su Dao and said loudly with excitement on his face.
"Uncle Woodall, I don't quite understand." Su Dao looked at Woodall with some puzzlement, this fleet has not yet docked, they don't know what they are wearing, how did Woodall know that the patriarch gave him a big gift? Since the discovery of the fleet, Su Dao has believed in the identity of Woodall and the others, if they want to assassinate Su Dao, there is a lot of chance, there is no need to wait until now, but Su Dao is becoming more and more interested in his family, what kind of family should this be? can reach the sky with hands and eyes, and the Rothschild family in later generations may not be able to have such great ability, right?
"Oh, I'm very sorry young master, but I was so excited that I forgot to tell you what this gift was. Master, did you see that submarine? I think this is the gift that the patriarch gave you at the age of twenty-four, young master, I wish you a happy life! Butler Woodall suddenly took a step back, put his right hand on his left chest, and bowed respectfully towards Su Dao.
In order to arrange all this, Woodall can be regarded as a lot of care, and the previous docking of the fleet in Shanghai was also to delay the time for two days, first, because the 99th Army had not captured Jinxi, and second, there were still a few days before Su Dao's birth, and the patriarch had previously told Woodall that he would give him a gift when Su Dao was twenty-four years old, and the Su family basically started by war, so when the family members were born, the gifts given by the elders were basically weapons. So when he saw the blue sky and white flag on the submarine, Woodall immediately understood what the patriarch was talking about as a gift.
To say that this Su family is definitely a wonderful family, while being rich, they do not forget violence, and the whole family advocates violence, they prefer to enjoy the benefits brought by violence, and enjoy the rights that violence brings to them, but with the changes in the international situation in recent years, the Su family has begun to slowly change its development strategy before World War I, from direct involvement in the war to support from behind-the-scenes, and the number of arsenals held by the Su family is definitely the largest in the world.
In order to make war money, the Su family not only built an arsenal in their base camp, but also set up large-scale arsenals in Germany's opponents, France and the United Kingdom, which is why the mustache has become more and more dissatisfied with the Su family in recent years and wants to kick out the Su family. The mustache waged war in order to occupy more land and make the Germanic people the greatest people in the world.
But the Su family's approach made the mustache very dissatisfied, and the mustache found the Su family many times, saying that Germany would continue to purchase the equipment of the Su family's arsenal, but the Su family must reduce or reduce the British and French arsenals, and this proposal was rejected by the Su family, so there will be the current situation.
Listening to what Woodall said, Su Dao couldn't cry or laugh for a while, who is this? What's wrong with giving a gift, even if you give some money, why do you have to give this U-boat? It is not uncommon for this young master to have as many as he wants in the album, but Su Dao still has to pretend to be flattered, he doesn't want to be seen that he is disdainful of these things.
With the help of many soldiers, the heavy machinery and equipment were finally loaded onto the truck one by one, these are all parts, in order to facilitate transportation on the road, so this time there are also assembly technicians from several production lines. After inspecting the equipment and warming up with the officers and men of the German Navy and the crew, Su Dao left the dock.
After returning to the military headquarters, Su Dao simply had lunch, and then planned to go to the military camp below to take a stroll to see how the recruitment situation was today. Most of the soldiers were arranged outside the city, otherwise Jinxi City would not be able to accommodate so many soldiers, and the barracks set up in the city were only set up for those soldiers who guarded the city and were responsible for security. Then, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he had to go to the newly opened Jinxi Army University for a two-hour lecture.
Due to the lack of teacher resources now, Su Dao and Wu Zhongguo can only go into battle in person, Su Dao personally teaches those officers above the colonel level, and then ranks down in turn, the division commander and brigade commander give lessons to the regiment commanders and battalion commanders, and the regiment commanders and battalion commanders give lessons to the company and platoon commanders below.
"No, why did you arrange us like that? We're going to see Chief Su. As soon as Su Daogang arrived at the gate of the barracks in Jinxi City, he was first shocked by the crowd of recruits, and then heard a female classmate in a school uniform in the registration crowd yelling dissatisfiedly at the officer in charge of registration and distribution.
"This classmate, since you have come to sign up for the army, you should abide by the rules and regulations of the army, don't you know that you have to obey the orders of your commander?" The lieutenant officer in charge of the assignment replied unmoved, as if he had no intention of changing the assignment plan.
"We naturally understand the rule of obeying orders, but we ask to go to the combat troops, and we came all the way from Beiping, not to be a logistics soldier." Another male classmate shouted with the same dissatisfaction, college students come to be soldiers, which unit doesn't directly give a second lieutenant or lieutenant? No one thought that when they came to the 99th Army to sign up, they would directly assign more than 10 of their classmates to logistics.
"Students, I understand everyone's feelings very much, but the logistics department of the army also needs you educated college students now, joining the army to serve the country, no matter what position you are in, you are all serving the country, why are you so stubborn? And the front-line troops are not as good as you think, it is hard to be a soldier there, and you who are fine-skinned and tender may not be able to stand the environment there when you reach the front-line troops. The lieutenant began to dissuade him a little anxiously, these students are delaying this time for a while, and he has registered more than a dozen people on his side than next to them, if they really want to let them continue like this, the recruitment time of the army will not know how long it will be extended.
The group of students here argued with the lieutenant, and the people queuing up behind them were also screaming anxiously, and the lieutenant could only be in a hurry, now this group of students was not their soldiers, and he didn't dare to do anything to them, and he really didn't have anything to do with this kind of student who didn't say anything.
"Then I don't care, we are going to the front line, when we came to join the army, we promised the teachers and classmates of the school, and one day in the future, we will personally lead the troops back to Beiping, go to logistics, you are trying to make us lose our trust in the teachers and classmates." The male classmate said with some emotion, as if he had seen the picture of him leading thousands of troops back to Beiping.
Although the people in the queue behind have been shouting, they have always maintained due respect for cultural people, so the shouting never stopped, but no one dared to take a step forward and squeeze them aside. Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Dao shook his head helplessly, this lieutenant's approach was not wrong, and he assigned this group of students to the logistics office, in fact, he planned to let them teach at Jinxi Army University.
After all, they are all college students, and their receptivity is much higher than that of ordinary people, so when the time comes, let these people be in charge of some theoretical classes, mainly talking about some cases or something, although they have not personally been on the battlefield, or people who have led the troops may not be able to say something convincing to everyone, but the lesson plans of each lesson they teach Su Dao will personally look at it, of course, in the early stage, they will also be transferred to units at all levels to exercise for a period of time, otherwise they will really become a novice.
And this is also a method of last resort, those big bosses in the army let them serve as instructors in the actual combat class, but it is too difficult for them in the cultural class.
"Sir!" Seeing Su Dao come forward, the lieutenant immediately stood up and saluted, and the soldiers who were registering next to him also hurriedly stood up and saluted. (To be continued.) )
