Chapter 322: It's time to fight back
"Don't think that there is only one division of the Airborne Forces, and if it is only a division, I will not let you, a dignified lieutenant general, be in charge...... There are still a lot of major generals who can fight. β
Yu Jishi's excitement Chiang Kai-shek saw it in his eyes, and he understood this...... The Airborne Forces struck twice, and both times they were "fruitful". If Qin Wei hadn't kept telling him that this army had not yet been fully formed and could not be sent to the battlefield on a large scale, he might have been unable to help but use it a long time ago...... However, as Qin Wei said, the airborne troops are different from other branches of the army, and they are really, very expensive to train. Not to mention that the equipment must be first-class, the skydiving training alone is enough to scare many people. The plane takes off once, and that's a lot of money. Although the planes in these years were not large and the fuel consumption was not much, they could not support the airborne troops, and now there is a division...... For a division to complete a training session, it will require at least several hundred sorties. A few more trainings, a few thousand sorties are gone. How much is that?
But you can't do it without practicing.
The Japanese are already starting to push hard. Although the other side did not dare to throw the target on this side due to the large number of anti-aircraft guns deployed in Chongqing and the lack of intelligence superiority, they aimed at the Soviets. Relying on the air superiority of the Zero fighters, Seishiro Sakagaki and Ishihara Waner airdropped a large group of paratroopers to Timoshenko's headquarters, and almost captured the Soviet general alive. It can be said that if it weren't for the snowy winter in Siberia at that time, and Timoshenko was a Soviet man who was used to freezing, he would have followed in Zhukov's footsteps long ago. But after the battle, the Japanese were also smarter, and they didn't know what their surname was when they didn't make some achievements like before, and they only said that they bombed Timoshenko's headquarters, and the Soviets really didn't want people to know that their own generals were chased by a few Japanese and fled. Acquiesced in this statement.
But this matter can be hidden from others, but not from Qin Wei.
In the end, none of the paratroopers of the Japanese brigade made it back alive, but they effectively deterred the Soviets. Although the Soviets also had paratroopers, the scale was not small, but they did not dare to use them at all without air supremacy.
And after getting the news, Lao Jiang couldn't sit still. Although the airborne division had begun to take shape and had completed several trainings, he still felt that the establishment was too small. Seishiro Sakagaki and Ishihara are too stingy, and only one brigade is airdropped at a time, if you airdrop a wing. Or is it simply a brigade, won't it just catch that Timoshenko? You can't afford to make the same mistake again. If you want to do it, you have to do something big. So he decided to expand the airborne division again, at least into an army.
"One, a army?"
Speaking of which. Yu Jishi still didn't understand what Lao Jiang meant. Airborne Forces...... This time, I really got it. Such an army is at least worth several group armies of others.
"Don't be in a hurry, be happy." Old Jiang glared at him. "The Airborne Division now has four regiments. are all distributed in different places...... They are very scattered, and some are even as far away as a province. This certainly kept the troops secret, but it was also very difficult to command. Naturally, this is especially true for the expansion of the organization again. The burden on you is not light. β
"The students will definitely give it their all." Yu Jishi held his head high.
"Good." Lao Jiang nodded, "Go back and prepare, your appointment letter will be issued soon...... But before that. You still have to go to Yunnan. β
"Yunnan?"
"You don't want to?" Lao Jiang saw the reluctance in the nephew's eyes and asked again.
"The student just thinks that although Qin Wei is the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, he should still not interfere with your appointment, principal." Yu Jishi said. Although he and Qin Wei have no personal grudges. There are few contacts, but he is very dissatisfied with the relationship with the other party before taking office. He is a royal nobleman, when does he need to have a relationship with others?
"Who said that Qin Wei would interfere with my appointment? I'm asking you to talk to Qin Wei. He is the founder of our Chinese Airborne Forces, and he also has his own plans for the expansion and development of the Airborne Forces. Old Jiang snorted coldly.
ββ¦ Be. Yu Jishi was reluctant in every way. He is not the crown prince, but he is not much different. There has never been a habit of bowing to people. But this time, Lao Jiang asked him to "chat" with Qin Wei before taking office, which made it clear that he was bowing to Qin Wei...... He can not provoke Qin Wei, because the other party is really not easy to provoke, but this does not mean that he will recognize Qin Wei as superior to himself...... And what about the admirals? The surname Qin is not really so powerful, others don't know the way, can he still not know the way? Qin Wei's credits were not earned by relying on the intelligence support behind him? If he had the same intelligence support, he would have become a first-class general, would he only be a second-class general? But it was useless to be unhappy and reluctant, and Lao Jiang's orders had to be listened to.
******************************************************************************************
"I said that old Yang...... We don't have a bad relationship, right? But since I got off the plane, is your attitude too much? β
Qin Wei walked into the venue with Yang Jie, complaining to Yang Jie as he walked...... At the Corps meeting, he thought at first that Yang Jie would only convene a few important leaders to have a meeting and introduce himself to everyone. Unexpectedly, the meeting was held in a small auditorium...... Although this small auditorium is also a large conference room, it still fills up one or two hundred people. According to Yang Jie's previous statement, the corps is now about 20,000 people, which means that this meeting has actually expanded to the company and platoon level. Let him, a second-class general, discuss issues with the captains and lieutenants?
"I can't help it. Who called you Chief Qin's reputation, everyone wants to meet you and ask how this corps should be prosperous ...... I'm not good at it, don't you? Yang Jie winked at him, a hint of cunning flashing across his chubby face.
"I've been guessing who is digging a pit for me all the way, so that as soon as I arrive in Kunming, I will be surrounded by enemies." Qin Wei stepped onto the podium, which only had one table and two seats: "But I can't figure it out when I think about it." Lao Yang, since you know what to say, do you want to tell me? β
"How dare you ......" Yang Jie shook his head, "Chief Qin is famous and famous for his wisdom, so it's better for me not to be ugly." β
"Do you really want to turn your face on me?" Qin Wei sat directly on the chair behind his name plate before Yang Jie sat down...... As a result, before Yang Jie could answer, there was already a "buzz" in the small auditorium.
"You see, it's not my trouble with you." Yang Jie's eyes glanced at the audience, smiled, and sat down.
β¦β¦
"Today, the Corps Headquarters convened a meeting to let everyone know our new 'deputy' commander-in-chief of the Corps, the second-class general, and Chief Qin Wei Qin! Everybody stands...... Salute to Chief Qin! β
The host has already stood on the stage, and his military uniform is quite straight, but unfortunately he is only a major in terms of military rank...... Seeing that Yang Jie and Qin Wei had already sat down, they began to carry out their tasks. Obviously, this guy was also instructed, and there were a lot of "killing intentions" hidden in his words...... In order to welcome a "deputy" commander, not to mention that so many people had to come over together, they had to salute Qin Wei before the meeting...... What about Commander-in-Chief Yang sitting next to him?
"Stand up, everybody!"
No one reacted. The host seemed a little annoyed and screamed again. The effect of this sound was a little better, and one or two hundred people finally barely stood up.
"Saluteβ"
The major presided over the ceremony, turned around, roared hoarsely, and took the lead in saluting Qin Wei. But the people behind almost didn't react, and those who occasionally raised their arms seemed to be weak, and they were immediately beaten down by the people next to them.
"Rite over!"
β¦β¦
"Does this surnamed Yang really not want to do it anymore and want to go back to sit on his cold bench?"
Zhou Tian and the three of them did not follow Qin Wei to the stage, they all stood at the door of the auditorium, and they saw this scene...... The three of them were very angry, and Xu Yuanju was especially angry. After seeing the performance of these so-called corps officers ignoring Qin Wei, his face was extremely gloomy.
"He's fearless." Zhou Tian sneered lightly, "This corps was created by him, and these stragglers only recognize him. Moreover, these people are scattered all over the place, and it is not easy to gather together. Therefore, if you move him, don't think about making a difference in a short time, because you don't know how much time it will take to straighten out these ruffians. But since our Chief Qin is willing to serve as the deputy commander of this construction corps, he obviously has his own plans...... I certainly won't want to delay my efforts. He just ate this point before he dared to show us a look. β
"Isn't Yang Jie on good terms with the chief? This is too fast, isn't it? Zheng Pingru felt that the scene in front of her was like a big drama, but she still hadn't figured out what the scene was about.
"Who knows? can make people like Yang Jie turn their faces, and they must be people who can make him trust. But now he didn't even know what was going on in his life, and he didn't even give him a warning...... Looks like you'll have to beat him up when you go back. Zhou Tian said hatefully.
"I think what Chief Qin said is right, the root of this matter may still be in Chongqing...... Why don't we send a telegram and ask Boss Dai? With his friendship with the chief, he will definitely help. Xu Yuanju said.
"Adjutant Xu, you think too highly of Boss Dai." Zhou Tian smiled, "Can the people who can say that Long Yun and Yang Jie can be investigated casually by the military commanders?" What if it's really Kong Xiangxi? Even if he finds out, does he dare to say it? β
"......" Xu Yuanju smacked his lips and did not speak. Zhou Tian is right, if it is really Kong Xiangxi who is engaged in some conspiracy behind his back, and wants to make Qin Wei a stumbling block, even if Dai Li finds out, he will definitely avoid it as far as he can, and he will never dare to interject more.
"Chief Qin is going to fight back."
The other two were still thinking, but Zheng Pingru suddenly screamed softly. The two hurriedly looked, but saw that Qin Wei had already stood behind the host, gently patted this guy's shoulder, and pointed to the audience again, directly knocking people down. Then, the guy himself stood in front of the microphone. (To be continued......)
