687.The Battle of Great Britain (2)
Jinan
"As of today, Germany has lost 286 aircraft, and Britain has lost 150." Liu Yuan put down the newspaper and sighed, "Britain is really still very strong." ”
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "After all, it is an old power, and the air force and navy still have some strength." ”
"Air Force Navy?" Liu Yuan was silent for a while, "What do you mean?" Infantry can't do it? ”
"Otherwise, why would you want us to support you?" Zhou Weiguo asked rhetorically, "Don't worry, our expeditionary force, as long as it guards in the British mainland, there should be no problem." Germany wanted to take air supremacy first, and then land in Britain to fight, but unfortunately, he did not have the ability to win air supremacy. ”
Liu Yuan nodded, it was useless for them to analyze the war situation here, at least for now, it seemed that Britain was really holding back Germany, although it was only about a month, but Germany did not take advantage of it after all.
……
Berlin, 13 August.
"Your Excellency, the weather today is not suitable for the launch of fighter planes."
Hitler looked out the window at the gloomy sky, "It's Eagle Day." Then Hitler sighed, "That's it, just postpone it." ”
"Yes!"
The month-long battles and the reports in the "Times" made Hitler very angry, but the battle record was there, in terms of war losses, Germany could not be lower than Britain, but what about strategic materials?
"I, Germany, conquered most of Western Europe, and the material resources are innumerable." Hitler muttered to himself, "Churchill, one day I will make you kneel before me and repent!" ”
……
In a small town in the English Channel, Gu Feiyan appeared at the headquarters as usual, in the past month, the German army has been fighting with the British Air Force every day, and the two sides have suffered damage to each other, but the German army's battle losses are relatively large, which is quite satisfactory for Gu Feiyan, the air force is not weak, and it will not let the infantry fight hard for so long. When China and Japan were at war, why did China suffer so much war damage? It's not because the devil's artillery planes are too far ahead, they have to fill it with human lives.
"Old Gu." A middle-aged man walked in, with a simple face, dark skin peculiar to Chinese peasants, and his face was full of traces of time, this was one of the commanders of the Eighth Route Column, named Li Congjun.
"What's wrong?" Gu Feiyan was puzzled.
"The weather may not be good outside, do you think the Germans will come back today?"
Gu Feiyan thought for a while, "Maybe you may or may not come, if the weather is not suitable for the plane to take off, I don't think I will come, and the German air force commander will not be a fool." ”
"Then I can finally take a day off." Li Congjun sighed, "When I came to the UK, I was still uncomfortable at first, especially, I ate potatoes every day, and I ate a piece of potatoes for a month, which is comparable to what we eat sweet potatoes every day." ”
Gu Feiyan smiled and explained, "Britain has an oceanic climate, the weather is cold, and it is difficult to get a bumper harvest by simply growing grains, let alone vegetables. It wasn't until the promotion of potatoes that they didn't go hungry, so potatoes are their staple food here. Moreover, it is not only the UK that eats potatoes, but most European countries eat potatoes. ”
Li Congjun smacked his lips, "I just want to eat big fat and wotou!" ”
Gu Feiyan smiled, indeed, going to a foreign country is a test for his own five internal organs temple, this month, there are still many soldiers who are not accustomed to the water and soil, and some of the food they brought has already been eaten, and they can only eat what the British provide, "In this way, let's mention it to the British side." ”
Li Congjun nodded, "That's good!" ”
"I'll send another telegram back, so that our master can negotiate with us as well."
"Yes, very! Very good! Li Congjun smiled this time, there are two sides of the negotiation, and the result will be much better.
Gu Feiyan nodded, "Lao Li, then you can go back and wait first, and let the soldiers endure it." ”
"How do you know I'm here at the request of the warriors?" Li Congjun was surprised.
"You're a column commander." Gu Feiyan was helpless, "If it weren't for the people under your hands who said it was too fierce, would you talk about it?" ”
"Eh, I can't help it, let's go first." Li Congjun hurriedly waved his hand, feeling that his old face was gone.
Gu Feiyan's smile was put away, in fact, not only Li Congjun's side, the soldiers of the independent division also reacted, they are really not used to eating, Britain is close to the sea, meat is difficult to eat, it is true that you can eat fish every day, and occasionally you can eat one or two meals of chicken, but the staple food, although there are many ways to eat potatoes on the British side, but the Chinese really can't get used to it for a while.
So, when Zhou Weiguo received the telegram, he also smiled, and only after laughing did he think about the seriousness of the problem. In ancient times, it was a group of people who were not adapted, and they could usually destroy a large army. However, if Gu Feiyan can send a telegram on purpose, it shows that the problem is still quite serious, and at least one-third of the soldiers must respond to this problem.
Zhou Weiguo immediately called Liu Yuan and Li Weimin over, and Li Weimin has always been in charge of logistics materials, "Weimin, are our military rations still enough?" ”
"Military rations?" Li Weimin frowned, "Enough, what's wrong?" ”
"Look at this." Zhou Weiguo handed over the telegram, Li Weimin took it, and frowned after reading it, "Lao Yan has this telegram, which means that the situation should be relatively common, can we get some out of it here, and continue to ask the Americans to transport it over when the time comes?" ”
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Let's see how much we can even, we can't just use it for our own troops, but also for the national army, by the way, I will send this telegram to the chairman of the committee, and ask him if he intends to bring some food together?" ”
"This one does." Liu Yuan nodded, "We can't just go out by ourselves." ”
So, Lao Jiang received such a telegram, and when he thought about it, yes, the food problem must be solved, but how can he have any surplus food in his hands? Besides, the British won't give them food. It's just that the potatoes are given, and many people are not accustomed to the soil and water, and they will not be used to eating them.
In desperation, Lao Jiang could only refuse, and then asked Zhou Weiguo to prepare more.
When Zhou Weiguo received the telegram, he could only accept his fate, they were all his own compatriots, and when he went abroad, Britain really treated him equally, so he said helplessly to Li Weimin, "Be more prepared, anyway, we will soon have new grain here." ”
"Okay."
"By the way, there are also canned pork and beef, you can get a batch."
"Okay."
"I guess they're going to eat the fish."
"Hahaha."
Several people smiled, and they also knew the difficulties of the expeditionary force, and as the backing of the expeditionary force, they still had to prepare some things that could be prepared.
On 15 August, the 2nd and 3rd air forces of the German Air Force attempted to break through the southeastern defenses in four groups of aircraft, and the 5th Air Force carried out a surprise attack on northern Britain.
