Chapter 155: Intensify preparations for war

ps:ps: I'm sorry, my back hurts badly, that's all for today.

Chapter 155

The warhawk staggered and landed on the field airfield, and the ambulance that had been waiting for a long time rushed forward without hesitation, and the danger of the plane explosion could not be compared with that of a valuable pilot with rich combat experience.

The ambulance personnel who rushed up saw the shocking bullet holes on the cockpit, and struggled to push the cockpit open, and the pilot in the cabin was covered with blood on his forehead, and was helped off the plane by the ambulance personnel. The moment he landed, Fang Ping's heart finally calmed down temporarily, and when he was helped to the stretcher and carried away, a turbulent female nurse was still holding the bleeding wound on his head.

"I'm fine!" Fang Ping struggled down from the stretcher, walked to the airport commander who was directing the rescue on the side, and asked, "Captain Tini, are they back?" ”

"A total of twenty planes went out, sixteen came back, and one of the four missing was a Mustang." The expression on the commander's face was much more indifferent, they were used to seeing life and death these days. These warriors from China were no worse than the British pilots in terms of combat skills, and in the process of fighting side by side with the British pilots, they formed a love of life and death.

Only a month had passed since the two-month rotation, and the 3rd squadron was replenished once. As a squadron leader, Fang Ping has already shot down five enemy planes in previous battles, and the five stars on the plane indicate that an ace was born in battle. At the same time, the original ten comrades-in-arms. Half of it was also lost. Although the Germans were slightly inferior to the Mustang, their combat skills were not bad at all. In air combat, the main targets of the flying squadron were still German bombers. The Germans were trying to pass Guò with constant bombing, to discourage the fighting spirit of the British and the transport lines by sea.

Because of the previous Sino-German military exchanges, the Germans also placed radars on the coastline of France, and the performance of their fighters has also been greatly improved compared with before. The scene of using the Swift-5 to easily play with German fighters is now difficult to reproduce. Unless the Mustang B-type fighter with better performance is imported from China, but Fang Ping knows very well that his father will definitely not sell the best things. Anyway, I will leave a hand or two.

"Fang. It doesn't matter to you, right? Commander Haring pointed to Fang Ping's forehead.

"It's okay, I just got touched by a debris." Fang Ping saw several familiar brothers running over. Only then did I feel better. "Fang, you've embarrassed our Lucy." Zhang Yong, who came over, pointed to the female nurse who was standing on the side and did not leave, and joked with a smile. A bunch of young men who don't know if there will be a tomorrow, a little time to hang out with the waitress and nurse or something, each rolling over the sheets with the foreign girl. Some of these brits are voluntary. Hooking up is not voluntary. You can also go to the bar to find a fee.

Fang Ping has always been very casual in this regard, and he always looks for fees in the bar. Today passes, I don't know if there will be tomorrow, don't hurt the women of good families. The British woman who charges has no psychological burden, and occasionally sleeps with one or two voluntary ones, and has long forgotten what jì looks like. This female nurse who kept her face red and refused to go away, Fang Ping really didn't have any impression.

"Sorry! Looks like we need your help. Fang Ping pointed to his forehead and smiled at Lucy. The female nurse stepped forward and continued her bandaging work. Fang Ping sitting on a chair. His face was facing the mountain that stood up under the white nurse's uniform, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks. It's rare to see anything on such a scale.

From 10 July to 23 August, the Luftwaffe attacked mainly convoys in the English Channel, attacking southern ports. The aim was to lure and destroy a large number of British fighters and pave the way for the Sea Lion program. But Goering's plan failed again and again in front of the old fox Dowding. Although the losses of German aircraft were greater, the current British Air Force could not afford to consume them.

From August 24 to September 3, the Luftwaffe launched 35 large-scale air raids on British airfields and aircraft factories, losing 380 aircraft to Germany and 286 to Britain. Göring, who had repeatedly missed, became angry and shouted the slogan "Flat London".

The air raids on Britain that began on 10 July fully demonstrated Goering's stupidity, which had never been able to attack the British radar. You know, at this time, Germany itself set up a lot of radar stations along the French coastline. In his bones, Goering still has a contemptuous attitude towards the role of radar.

Goering's stupidity was a great help to the British insistence.

At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, the United States is a world of singing and dancing. Isolationism and the 1935 Neutrality Act were like two ropes that bound Roosevelt's hands and feet. Roosevelt, who was very ambitious, was not willing to miss such an opportunity for the United States to dominate the world.

In May, when Germany swept across Europe, Roosevelt asked Congress for an additional $896 million in defense spending in his State of the Union address, citing China as an example. "Even before the turmoil in Europe, the Chinese government had been increasing its budget. After the outbreak of war in Europe, the Chinese parliament once again approved a new defense allocation of 1.2 billion, equivalent to 250 million US dollars. ……。 ”

Roosevelt also emphasized four points: first, to procure all kinds of necessary equipment for a more powerful and fully manned army, and second, to replace and renew the old equipment of the navy and army with newer equipment. Third, in order to expand the production facilities of the army and navy for the defense of national defense. Fourth, production runs day and night in order to fulfill the existing contract for the army and navy and the new contract.

Roosevelt's intention to step up war readiness jumped on paper, and at the same time pushed for the transfer of fifty old destroyers of the Navy to Britain. In other words, these old destroyers must have been looked down upon by Britain before, but now they can't take care of so much. The attitude of the United States has finally loosened a little, and it is Churchill's priority to drag the United States into the water step by step.

In this deal, Britain paid for some sea and air bases, and it can be said that this deal took the first step towards Roosevelt's domination of the world. Just when the two giants of Britain and the United States were privately stepping up contacts and preparing to meet each other secretly, the other side of the Pacific Ocean was a completely different landscape.

The Shenyang Tractor Factory was built in 1923 with the initial purpose of developing the market needed for agricultural production in Northeast China. In the beginning, the plant was supplied with technology by the Germans for the production of large tractors. At the time of the European economic crisis, the Chinese market was also hit by a lot of shock, and the Chinese North Industries Group took the opportunity to acquire the shares in the hands of the Germans and became a sole proprietorship.

Subsequently, the state launched a new economic policy, the Zhou Group obtained a large number of orders, and reached a strategic partnership with the Eurasian Group, the introduction of Eurasian Group technology, the production of armored vehicles for the army, with the country's orders, the expansion of the Shenyang Tractor Factory is extremely fast, and now it has reached the annual production level of 3,000 wheeled armored vehicles.

After the outbreak of the war in Europe, the Shenyang Tractor Factory once again received an order from the government for 3,000 tanks, and the annual output was settled. The General Staff proposed that by the end of 1940 at the latest, on the basis of the existing 15 mechanized corps, the total number of 20 mechanized corps should be reached. The Chinese mechanized divisions are quite different from the German ones, with one tank brigade and one mechanized infantry brigade, that is, only three tank brigades per mechanized corps.

The purpose of this establishment is that the tank will not be disconnected from the infantry in the process of long-distance running. With the existing infantry tactics of China, it is not difficult to see that once the tank loses the protection of the infantry, its losses will increase exponentially. With the large-area armament of rocket launchers, the capabilities of the Wehrmacht's infantry to strike tanks also became formidable. The mechanized infantry brigade uses wheeled armored vehicles as a means of transport, which is always guaranteed not to be disconnected from the tank.

The sudden appearance of the president's special train in Shenyang undoubtedly made the entire city of Shenyang nervous. Today, Shenyang is a key city for China's heavy industry, and under the current shape, Fang Jianxiong's appearance is undoubtedly a clear signal. The president made a high-profile inspection of the Shenyang Tractor Factory, the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Group, and the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant.

All these news messages are sending a message to the world that the pace of China's preparations for war is accelerating. (To be continued......)
