If Yang Zhen tried every means to collect German fighters, it was because there were at least obvious reasons. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but in addition to fighters, he is constantly trying to increase the number of Junkers 52 transport planes. And the painstaking collection of spare engines and parts for this kind of aircraft to ensure the service life of this kind of aircraft is somewhat intriguing.

In order to greatly increase the number of such planes in a short period of time, Yang Zhen even sent people to buy them in the US-British-French occupation zone in the name of establishing an airline that mainly operates in Asia and South America. A lot of money was paid for this, which caused a lot of controversy.

Even if the Anti-Japanese Federation has formed two paratrooper divisions, there are already a certain number of American-made transport planes with much better performance than this aircraft in the Anti-Japanese Federation. Moreover, through various means and methods, the drawings and technology of some new American transport planes have also been purchased, and at the same time, the Americans have also transferred the production technology of the C-47 transport aircraft.

It wasn't until Yang Zhen's post-war plan was fully opened that everyone understood Yang Zhen's intentions. Under the joint air raids on Japan by the Anti-Japanese Union and the US military, the Japanese mainland, which was bombed into ruins, had relatively high requirements for taking off and landing, and there were basically few airfields left for take-off and landing.

Airports on the Japanese mainland have always been the focus of US carrier-based aircraft. The vast majority of airports, including several airports in Tokyo, were bombed, and there was nothing left, and the airports were bombed by high-explosive aerial bombs with large craters and small craters. The coastal airfields not only had to withstand the attacks of US carrier-based aircraft, but also had to be bombarded by naval artillery bombardment by the US and British fleets from time to time.

The Japanese, who lacked construction machinery, were busy all night, and finally got the airport back in use. The next day, it was restored to the same state before the emergency repair by the US carrier-based aircraft. With the exception of airfields in Hokkaido and the South Kuril Islands, there was basically no usable airfield in the entire Japanese mainland until the Japanese finally couldn't survive and surrendered.

In addition, many Japanese factories have been evacuated to rural areas without airports due to continuous air raids. At this time, the field take-off and landing performance is extremely excellent, and there is no need for an airport when necessary, as long as there is a straight road, this German transport aircraft can take off and land, and the advantages are really revealed.

As soon as the Japanese surrendered, these Junkers 52 transport planes, which could take off and land as long as there was a flat place, and even landed directly next to the factory, were all transferred to Japan by Yang Zhen. Before the US troops entered Japan on a large scale, a large number of industrial equipment, secret materials, and Japanese technicians were transferred to the areas controlled by the Anti-Japanese Union in Korea in a short period of time.

After the completion of transportation to Japan, a considerable part of these transport planes were converted to civilian use, and they undertook the transportation of materials and personnel in some areas where transportation is difficult. and, in the midst of the War of Liberation, to provide field supplies to troops when needed. Although the carrying capacity is limited, the excellent field take-off and landing performance of this aircraft is exactly what China, which lacks a standard airport, needs most.

Whether it is in the liberation of the great northwest and the great southwest, or in the advance of the central and southern battlefields. These transport aircraft, which can rely on roads, are structurally sturdy as field airfields, and can withstand the inferior use environment. It undertook a large number of material replenishment and the transportation of the wounded, ensuring the needs of the army to fight in the south.

Especially in the process of building a nuclear test base after the liberation of Xinjiang, these Junkers 52 transport planes can be said to have played a vital role. A large amount of equipment and instruments arrived at the base through these planes before the highway was repaired.

The total number of these aircraft has reached more than 200, and a considerable part of them have been repaired and repaired until the end of the 60s, and the old-fashioned transport planes produced in the German period, which undertook the transportation of a large number of personnel and equipment, have long been retired in other countries, and have made great contributions to the construction of New China.

Especially in the northwest region, where the radiating plains are vast but the transportation is inconvenient, and there are basically no railway lines, relying on those airstrips that are only artificially leveled out of the flat land, a considerable part of the transportation needs are met. In the northwest and southwest border areas, it also played an important role in defending the border defense line with poor traffic.

From personnel to live poultry, from medicine to mail, from grain to vegetables and coal, as long as it is within the capacity of such an aircraft, there is nothing that has not been transported. The Northwest Branch of Civil Aviation of the People's Republic of China, except for some C47 and C46 transport planes, is almost equipped with this kind of transport aircraft.

Even after a large number of new domestic passenger aircraft have entered service, even after they have begun to be exported. This classic aircraft produced during World War II did not withdraw from the front line, but moved to regional routes and general aviation to continue to exert residual heat. In the new Chinese Air Force, more than 30 planes have been retained, which are specially responsible for the transportation of the northwest frontier.

If it weren't for the long-term overload of use, which led to the excessive aging of the airframe, which caused two accidents in a row, and at the same time, it was really impossible to find parts that could be replaced, and finally the remaining dozens of planes in the early seventies could only be retired uniformly.

Of course, Yang Zhen, who was focused on the post-war issue with Japan, did not expect that these planes would be in service for such a long time and play such a great role. If he could have foreseen these things in advance, he would have woken up laughing even from a dream. After all, these aircraft were produced during World War II, after intensive use during wartime.

Even the most authoritative aviation experts cannot predict how long it will last when many planes are injured. Yang Zhen, who is currently busy collecting such aircraft everywhere, is even more unable to predict the service life of these aircraft.

Of course, these planes were able to stay in service for such a long time, except that the Germans designed and manufactured them with exquisite craftsmanship, and the design of this transport aircraft was extremely solid and well-built. Meticulous maintenance and upkeep throughout the Chinese service period is not unrelated.

Yang Zhen started from many aspects, painstakingly preparing for his final plan. Send people to follow the Soviet army all the way from Eastern Europe to Germany, collecting weapons and equipment abandoned by the German army everywhere. From fighter jets to spare parts, from tanks to some mechanical equipment, as long as you can get it, you can get it by all means.

At the risk of their lives, these men walked through the entire Soviet-German battlefield full of ruins and mines. They also tried by all means to enter the western occupation areas controlled by the United States, Britain and France, collected weapons and equipment abandoned by the Germans, and purchased as much machinery and equipment as possible from the factories that had been controlled by the allies for the construction of Northeast China, as well as the machinery and equipment urgently needed for the large-scale industrial construction in North China that had been carried out one after another, and which the United States and Britain strictly prohibited from exporting.

In order to buy and collect as many supplies as possible, many anti-union members paid the price with their lives. Carefully search every battlefield, collect every usable part, and those who were killed or injured by mines because they were wearing Soviet uniforms were killed by small scattered units of German troops. There were also those who were shot and wounded by Soviet personnel in order to stop the atrocities of the Soviet army.

For the main heavy industry in Germany, all in the American, British, and French occupation zones. And in order to avoid retaliation by the Soviet army, many German units forced their way west before the end of the war. The Luftwaffe also transferred most of the surviving aircraft to the Western Front and even to Norway and Denmark, and obtained the most urgently needed aviation equipment in the country, which entered the Western occupation zone and mysteriously disappeared.

It's just that despite the great cost, the hard work and efforts of these personnel have ensured the supply of the most urgently needed equipment and materials in the country, and even retained a certain amount of reserves. At the same time, to a certain extent, it also provided favorable material support for the development of Yang Zhen's entire plan.

However, the impression of the Soviets on the Soviets after returning from the Soviet Union was plummeting because of some of the practices of the Soviet army in Germany and the occupied areas of Eastern Europe. In the words of some leading cadres, it was not an army, it was a bunch of bandits, robbers and bastards.

It doesn't matter if you make a fortune, it is not unacceptable to dismantle German factory equipment. But for the anti-union personnel, who have always had strict disciplinary rules, it was really difficult for the Soviets to accept the looting of German civilians, especially the rape of women. Some Anti-Union fighters were even shot dead by Soviet soldiers in order to stop the Soviet atrocities against German women.

Instead of stopping this behavior, Soviet officers of all ranks joined the army of looting themselves. A Soviet lieutenant general who docked with the anti-Japanese personnel carried a German gold watch and a German luxury car when they first met. His adjutant carried more than twenty watches on his two arms.

Despite this Soviet lieutenant general, on the orders of Marshal Zhukov, commander of the 1st Belorussian Front of the Soviet Union, a brand new German Admiral luxury car. As his personal gift, it was given to Yang Zhen, commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army. However, the performance of this Soviet lieutenant general made the recipients of the Anti-Japanese Federation look down on them.

As a lieutenant general, he was drunk all day. Even when he drank too much, he took a random car to find a building, let his guards block the front and back doors with submachine guns, and chased German women all over the building with his bare ass. fake public and private, let his adjutant every day, mail a large number of packages to the country, from women's underwear to high-end tableware. This is what a senior officer of the rank of lieutenant general should do?

A lieutenant general is still like this, let alone the ordinary officers and soldiers below? Although the lieutenant general was drunk all day long, it was convenient for the anti-United Nations personnel to fish in troubled waters. But it was this style of this Soviet lieutenant general that made the anti-union personnel extremely disgusted.

But maybe this guy is too out of line, and his superiors really can't stand it. Before the anti-union personnel returned home, it was found that the rank of lieutenant general had been changed from lieutenant general to colonel. The car has also changed from a German luxury sedan to an American-made jeep. In other countries, however, the practice of court-martials has not been dealt with in any other way.

I don't know what the military discipline of the Soviet army was a mess after the capture of Berlin. Is it an interesting indulgence at the top, or is it the military discipline of the Soviet army itself that is so anti-union personnel. After returning to the Northeast from Germany, he no longer had any good impression of the Soviets. Especially for the so-called Soviet Red Army, the impression plummeted. When it comes to the big brother of the Soviet Union, it is a bunch of hooligans, robbers and bandits.

Of course, the practices of the American and British soldiers were no better than those of the Soviets. The things they fancy are always swept away unceremoniously. Silver cutlery, frescoes, furniture, and even high-end carpets were swept away from German homes. The German-made pistol, which attracted the interest of Americans during the war, has long been replaced by something better.

It's just that the education level of the lower-level officers and men is different, and the economic situation they are facing in China is also very different, and the things they see in their eyes are much more upscale than those of the Soviets. Watches and other things, except for the custom-made watches of high-ranking German officers, are not eye-catching for Americans, and they prefer materials of relatively high value.
