Episode 49 Flying Machine Gunner

The next morning, Xiang Xiaoqiang went to the headquarters of the People's Guard Corps to preside over a meeting, and Xiang Xiaoqiang first announced the new personnel arrangements.

Among the officers attending the meeting, Li Changgui was a little disappointed, because the position of commander-in-chief had nothing to do with him. But he was more calm. Li Changgui is relatively self-aware, and he has no ambitions, and he is very bottomless when he acts as commander-in-chief. Now that Xiang has returned safely, there is no shame in returning to his original position.

And the most uneasy among the officers is the stomachache. He knew what he had done, and Xiuxiu must have told Xiang Xiaoqiang everything. Then let's look at how Xiaoqiang rectifies himself. I hope I don't get too miserable. After all, following Xiang Xiaoqiang for so long, there is no credit and hard work. The stomach ache also knew that Xiang Xiaoqiang would not do too much. After all, he holds a lot of secrets from his boss. For example, the things that designed Zheng Yuxuan in the first place. He was also afraid that he would push himself into a hurry, and he would be all exposed.

Originally, I had a stomachache and was ready to be made into a deputy and then put on the air, and I was also ready to be sent to the "Political Work Team" and "Installation and Training Department", which are Qingshui Yamen. He can accept all of this. As long as Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't do too much and lets him stay in the leadership of the People's Guard, then there will be a chance to make up for it slowly in the future.

With a stomachache and closed his eyes, he waited for his "verdict". However, I only heard the items of "promoting Princess Liaoyang to deputy commander-in-chief", "transferring guard company commander Hu Jiong to commander-in-chief adjutant", and "promoting guard company deputy commander Wu Yanbin to company commander", and then it was over. That is, the rest is business as usual.

This makes my stomach ache and I am very happy. The commander of his own security team remained untouched. He secretly glanced at Xiuxiu a few times and gave her a grateful look. The stomach hurts and thinks that Xiuxiu didn't tell Xiang Xiaoqiang about it. At least not all.

Then everyone reported on the situation of the People's Guard during this period and the work of their own departments.

This is mainly Li Gensheng's matter. Li Gensheng still has a lot of pressure in his heart. After all, an entire division of the People's Guard Mobile Team was annihilated, and he himself was the head of the Mobile Team.

"Now the battle line is maintained between Hami and Yumen, and the length of the road supply line between the two sides is about the same. The Soviets clearly no longer have the ability to advance eastward. Our army is preparing a large-scale counteroffensive. Of course, the People's Guard is still the backbone. However, the number of tanks of our army was far inferior to that of the Soviet army, and the adaptability in the arid regions of the north was also far inferior to that of the Soviet army. Our failure rate remained high, while the situation with the Soviets was much better. We break three tanks, they don't necessarily break one...... The Soviet army now has the most BT-7 fast tanks. The mobility of this tank is almost twice that of the main force of our army, the Lightning-3, and the number currently appearing on the battlefield is more than three times that of our tanks. ”

Li Gensheng looked quite frustrated when he said this:

"And air superiority is still in the hands of the Soviets. They have more planes and tanks than we do, and they are producing faster than us. In particular, the speed at which the Soviet army trained pilots was too fast. Sometimes it's only a few dozen hours, and then they go up to the sky to fight us. When we got this information, we all thought it was no big deal, and such a heaven was also a live target. …… But it didn't turn out that way.

"The Soviet pilots are all old and new, and the level of the old pilots is above us, and those new pilots are by no means as easy to fight as we imagined. Some of them were very accurate, and they often shot down our planes. For those new pilots, our exchange ratio, of course, is good, but they are not afraid of dead people at all, and they are not afraid of crashing planes. In a word, their pilots seem to be like airplanes, as if they are coming off the assembly line. And with such a new and old fighting in the sky, the new pilots are growing up very quickly......"

After saying a word, the atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn. Xiang Xiaoqiang was also thinking about it and nodded.

Stomach ache now plan to behave well. He took over and said:

"My lord, we have collected some information about the Soviet army training pilots, but at the time we thought it was too incredible, and we didn't accept it......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his head, looked at him listlessly, and said:

"Tell me about it."

My stomach hurt and I was shocked, and I said:

"My lord, when we train pilots, we train pilots as college students, and it takes at least two or three years for a fighter pilot to go to the sky to fight a war. In addition to flight training, there are also a lot of cultural courses, such as advanced mathematics, calculus, trigonometry, mechanics, aircraft construction, chemistry, physics, ballistics, first aid, international law, foreign languages, physical training, ...... From the selection of high school students to the aviation school to the graduation of the army, it is equivalent to going to college all over again. In fact, aviation schools are also universities, and more than 90% of the students' time is spent on comprehensive quality, and there is not much time for real training in the sky.

"But this was not the case with Soviet pilots. In the past, the old pilots were better, but now during the war, they frantically expanded the number of pilots, and people didn't learn so many things at all, so they talked about basic airplane piloting, and let the old pilots take them to the sky for dozens of hours of training, and they were considered qualified when they came down. We select pilots for high school and college students, and they are all junior high school and elementary school students, as long as they are not illiterate. Even more unbelievable ......"

With a stomachache, he looked around at everyone, suppressed a trace of smugness, and said:

"The subordinates received information that the Soviet army specially selected excellent machine gunners from ordinary units and trained them as pilots. Dozens or hundreds of hours of fierce training and flying have been more accurate and accurate than our new pilots in the sky. ”

As he uttered his last sentence, everyone in the conference room looked at each other. Everyone thought he was funny.

And the stomach ache is obviously covered with this one as a baby, and even Li Gensheng doesn't know it. Now he also had an expression of disbelief on his face, looking at the pain in his stomach.

"Master Du......" Li Gensheng frowned, "You're not kidding. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was also incredulous, and said with a smile:

"Selecting machine gunners as fighter pilots? Can you still play very accurately in actual combat? This...... These are two different things! ”

The stomach ache was even more proud, and he smiled and said:

"My lord, my lords, it's hard for you to believe it, is it? Love, I also had a hard time believing when I first saw it. But...... That's exactly what people do. ”

As he spoke, he picked up his briefcase from his feet and pulled out a stack of large photographs. He beckoned, and a little female soldier came over and distributed the pictures to the officers.

Xiang Xiaoqiang took one and looked at it, and the photo was a document. There is a five-pointed star printed on the top, and the bottom is in Russian. Chinese characters are added to the photo, presumably the translated text added during the development:

-- "List of Reserve Pilots Selected by the Central Asian Frontier Military Region"

At this time, Xiuxiu next to him handed over another photo. Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that there were photos of Soviet soldiers' ID cards on them, and there were materials in Russian under each photo.

He looked up and was surprised: it was true.

Then, his second sentence was:

"So, why can't we do that?"
