Chapter 274: Yang Zhen's heart disease

After Xiong Dazhen finished speaking, Yang Zhen squinted at Xiong Dazhen, who was full of sincerity at this time, and said: "You have given me a set, first of all, you said how many planes you have gotten." Now I turned my hand and reached out again to ask for the plane. It is estimated that if you have a pilot in your kid's hand, I am afraid that there will be no today's report, and I will directly detain a few planes. ”

"But that's what you're talking about. The weapons and equipment are really heavy, and it is really inconvenient to take the train like this, and your request is not too much. It's just that judging from your mission in the recent stage, there are still two planes missing. Since I've decided to give you a few, I don't care about more than one or two. ”

"In this way, I asked them to transfer four Junkers transport planes and four L5 liaison planes from this batch of planes to form a squadron to cooperate with you. The formation is still assigned to the air force, but it belongs to the command and use of your armament department. However, I want to make it clear to you that these planes are allocated for your use in your work. ”

"If you dare to pull a calf in Northeast dialect in this regard, I will twist your neck off. Also, the distance is not more than 300 kilometers, and it is not allowed to be transported by air. There are so many of our planes now, and the American-made transport aircraft parts are very tightly picked by the Americans, and we have not yet been able to imitate the German-made aircraft, and one aircraft will be scrapped when the service life reaches the end of the aircraft. ”

"In addition, you have someone to keep an eye on the maintenance of these aircraft. If there is a technician, because of the plane accident, I do not look for aviation, only you. When it comes to using an airplane, you have to be strict about the rules. It's not that you won't be allowed to use it, it's not allowed to do things that are a little bigger, and you have to use airplanes at a distance that is far away. ”

Knowing that this guy dares to open a dyeing room if he gives some color, gives him a pair of wings to the sky, and dares to poke a hole in the sky, Yang Zhen still decided to scare and scare this guy, so as not to provoke a bigger basket with this guy. Although Yang Zhen didn't like this kind of intimidation, it was the only effective way for this guy.

It's just that after getting Yang Zhen's personal approval, this guy has already prepared an application for Wen Jiàn. Xiong Dazhen's expression of some overexcitement made Yang Zhen feel that his threat might not work at all. Looking at the text in his hand, Yang Zhen grabbed it and directly ripped off the idea of invalidation.

But fortunately, I also know that this guy won't do too much under his nose. In addition, this guy has made a great contribution, and it is not easy for him to backtrack. After all, their equipment department does still have this need. A lot of times it's really inconvenient to take the train.

As for why they were only given German-made Junkers 52 transport planes, instead of American-made transport planes with better performance. This is because these German-made transport planes are three-engine, and their safety is somewhat more secure than that of American-made transport planes. The most important thing is that the carrying capacity is almost the same as that of the American-made C47 transport aircraft, although the flight range is slightly shorter, but the field take-off and landing capability is stronger than that of the American transport aircraft.

The various equipment test sites are for the sake of secrecy. Most of them choose to be in the middle of nowhere. Although airports were also built, most of them were small field airfields. Compared with the American-made C47 transport planes with higher take-off and landing requirements, these Junker aunts of the German army will be more adaptable.

In addition, the area of the base area is limited, and it is completely unnecessary to have a range as large as that of a US-made transport aircraft. Therefore, Yang Zhen allocated German goods to the equipment department, instead of American goods with better performance. If it is really necessary to transport large items, can the C-46 transport aircraft of the aviation unit be transferred?

However, despite the great effort, it was only possible to hold back the anger in his heart. But Yang Zhen still did not finally put this idea into practice, and even personally made a phone call to the aviation troops, asking them to choose the best transport aircraft pilots. There is no way that those technicians in their equipment department, one of them is a treasure. If you lose one because of a plane accident, then you have to die of distress?

To say that Xiong Dazhen has made a great contribution this time, he is not wrong. The transport aircraft group of the Anti-Union occupies a very important position in Yang Zhen's next plan. However, the overall number of transport aircraft can only barely meet the needs. The number of transport aircraft handed over by the Americans was quite slow from the very beginning. Even at the beginning of this year, it simply stopped providing transport planes to the Anti-United Nations.

At present, the whole army has only two transport aircraft groups plus six independent squadrons, with a total of 64 C-47 transport planes, 54 C46 transport planes, 11 Soviet-made Li 2 transport planes, and 17 Italian SM-82 transport planes. Even after adding the captured Japanese army, there are still more than a dozen Zero transport planes and Type 97 transport planes that are barely flying at the moment, which is still a certain distance from Yang Zhen's requirements.

What the Americans mean by this is that the number of these transport planes is already large enough and the transportation needs are not very large for the use of anti-union, and providing more can only be a waste of Americans' tax money. So the number of transport aircraft provided by the Americans ends there. At the beginning of the year, the Americans had already informed the Anti-United Nations that in the future, they would adopt the method of replenishing the anti-United Nations transport planes one by one.

It's just that the Americans think that the amount they provide is already enough to resist the use of the United Nations, and that is what the Americans think. However, according to Yang Zhen's next battle plan, it is still quite insufficient. In the case of the need to airdrop a paratrooper division, and the lack of gliders, either airborne or parachute landing is not enough.

Yang Zhen also knew that even if the Americans agreed to continue to provide transport planes, according to the history they had in later generations, at present, the United States and Britain are launching landing operations in Western Europe, and they need a large number of transport planes to transport supplies by air and the US forces that are conducting airborne operations.

In the past, there was a shortage of transport planes, and there was always a zài. In order to get enough transport planes, Yang Zhen can be said to have worked hard. Not only did he constantly negotiate with the Americans, but he also refused to accept second-hand goods captured by the American troops on the battlefields in North Africa and Italy.

The 17 Italian-made three-engine transport planes with poor performance were obtained by Yang Zhentong and Wilson with great effort from the trophies of the American and British armies in the North African and Italian battlefields. If Wilson hadn't used his identity to facilitate the investigation of the head of the US military's Mediterranean theater intelligence department, he would not have been able to get this batch of third-rate Italian goods.

This time, Xiong Dazhen brought in so many German transport planes at once, which greatly alleviated the part of Yang Zhen's next strategic deployment and the lack of equipment required. Although the performance of these dozens of German-made transport planes is not as good as that of American-made C47 transport planes, they are at least better than none. Those German-made bombers can also be used as a supplement to transport aircraft when they are not needed by the Anti-United Nations.

It's just that the Soviets actually let it go happily this time, and for the Soviets, who have always plucked their feathers, there is something wrong with being so generous this time. Even if these transport planes were already a pile of rags, the Soviets would not allow the anti-union Shun Shun to bring back these things.

You must know that even those tanks captured from the Germans, as well as light weapons and ammunition, were also exchanged for supplies and American-aided equipment. The Soviets never gave anything for nothing, even if it was something they didn't use. Even if they stay there to rust and rot, they won't give it away in vain.

The most important thing is that the materials for the exchange of weapons with the Soviets must be approved by themselves. Without their own consent, no one in the Northeast dared to negotiate with the Soviets on their own. Xiong Dazhen only let himself know at this time that Yang Zhen was sure that this batch of rags was quite smooth in arriving in the northeast, and it can be said that he did not encounter any obstacles, which made Yang Zhen feel that the attitude of the Soviet Union this time was somewhat intriguing.

But after thinking about it, Yang Zhen decided to have a good talk with Wilson. The Americans went a little too far during this time, and except for some excessive equipment, the amount of other equipment that was promised to arrive at the beginning dropped significantly. The large-caliber artillery promised before, except for one regiment, has basically no shadow so far. The tanks that promised assistance were also delayed again and again, and the number was also dropped again and again.

At present, the Americans have begun to replace the P-51 fighter one after another, and the Chongqing side has begun to replace this latest fighter one after another, but they still provide the old P-40 fighter to the Anti-United Nations. Before the launch of this battle, Wilson talked about it, hoping that the United States would provide a batch of P-51 fighters in order to deal with the new Japanese fighters and escort the anti-coalition bombers.

But the fighter that was shipped in March was still a P40K fighter. Although it is the latest model of this fighter, it is still powerless in the face of the Japanese army's Type II fighters, as well as the new Type 3 and Type 4 fighters. The air force's fighter performance was insufficient, and even in the face of the inferior Japanese air force, it was extremely difficult to deal with it.

Although a batch of Lag-3 fighters was exchanged, it could barely cope with the challenge of the new Japanese fighters. But the maneuverability of this fighter is so poor that more planes are dropped than shot down. The Yak-9 fighter is still quite limited in production at the moment, and it has never been able to ensure the needs of two-front combat.

The lack of fighters in the air force that can compete with the new fighters of the Japanese army has always been a big problem in Yang Zhen's heart. How to get an air superiority fighter that can confront the new fighters of the Japanese army is the most urgent need and the most headache for Yang Zhen at the moment.

In addition to the need for transport planes, Yang Zhen decided to invite Wilson's guy after several considerations. There is not much time left for this war to be used by oneself, and if some problems are not resolved, I am afraid that there will be no chance. Because Yang Zhen knows very well that as long as the Americans hit the edge of the Japanese mainland, there is a possibility that they will turn against the Americans at any time.

After listening to Yang Zhen's complaints, Wilson could only shake his head and tell Yang Zhen with a wry smile that this new P-51 fighter is not enough for the US military in the Eurasian theater. With the exception of a partial supply to the British, the Chinese side should not count on this fighter for at least a short time.

Because of the U.S. air raids on the German mainland, as well as the upcoming air raids on Japan. They are also counting on these fighters with ultra-long range and excellent air combat performance to serve as escorts for bomber groups and compete for air supremacy with enemy forces. The Americans, who are now not enough for their own use, are really unable to provide for friendly forces for the time being.

It's not that he didn't fight for the Anti-Japanese Union, but the War Department didn't agree. Not to mention the Anti-United Nations, even the Soviets who were on the aid list of the Americans, who were in front of the Anti-United Nations, had never received this new fighter plane. The planes that the Americans now provide to the Soviets are no different from those supplied to the Resistance League.

The only difference was that the Soviets preferred the P-39 fighter and its modifications. I am not very interested in these P-30 fighters, and I hope that the United States will provide as many P-39 fighters as possible. But despite the fact that the American side met the needs of the Soviets, the P-51 fighters and the P-38 fighters, the Soviets did not get the same.
