Regarding the relevant information and intelligence of Doolittle, Kong Jie has already reported to the headquarters, and especially emphasized that Doolittle is definitely a rare talent in the field of aviation.

Leave that at that.

After the successful air raid on Tokyo by Doolittle and his entourage, the news spread, which had already caused an international uproar.

Before this incident, Doolittle, who was nearly 50 years old, was just a little-known person, despite being a rare talent.

After the air raid on Tokyo was over and the news spread, Doolittle became an internationally renowned, household name, and famous hero.

This is true not only for Americans, but also within China.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States hated Japan to the core, and Doolittle led the flight team to attack Tokyo, the capital of Japan, which can be said to have avenged the United States and even the Chinese.

This alone is enough for him to blow for a lifetime.

As Kong Jie said: "Brother Du, the eldest husband lives in this life, just for a vigorous and vigorous operation, after the victory of the air raid on Tokyo, I am afraid that your reputation is not unknown to the whole world." ”

Kong Jie's praise made Doolittle very useful, and his face was full of smiles.

Kong Jie changed his words and continued: "It's just that Brother Du has thought about it?

After all, the air raid on Tokyo was a palliative but not a cure, and the bombing caused the Japanese army to suffer more losses, but what followed was the hatred of the Japanese army for you and the United States.

The war will not stop so easily.

The Japanese army attacked your Pearl Harbor, and you immediately counterattacked, and the air raid on Tokyo, and then according to the urine nature of the little devils, there will definitely be a greater retaliation against you. ”

Speaking of the possible retaliation of the Japanese army, Doolittle's face was a little angry, and he said in a deep voice: "As a soldier, it is nothing more than to defend the motherland, and it is a big deal to give up this life, and you have to fight to the death with the Japanese." ”

"What do you want to do next?" Kong Jie asked again.

Doolittle first analyzed the current situation of the Pacific War.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but scold:

"In fact, before the outbreak of the Pacific War, we in the United States naturally anticipated the outbreak of the war, and also conducted a lot of intelligence collection on the Japanese army.

I thought that after the outbreak of war, the Japanese army was by no means an opponent of our American army.

But what we never expected was that these Japanese troops were far more powerful than we imagined, especially the elite of the army that they quickly reinforced to the Pacific theater, and all kinds of mountain tactics and guerrilla tactics made our American troops miserable.

These Japanese troops were very cunning, especially the various roundabout means used, which often targeted our army's important transportation lines, making it difficult for our army to guard against.

As for these special tactics suddenly used by the Japanese army, we in the United States did not collect enough information in advance, nor did we think of a strategy to deal with them.

In this regard, our military also speculated at one time whether the Japanese army had created many tactics against our US side.

In the end, what we thought would be a one-sided victory became more and more difficult, and so far, our American side has suffered considerable casualties. ”

Ahem cough cough –

Kong Jie coughed lightly, what else could he say about this?

Regarding the various novel tactics that the Japanese army suddenly adjusted in the Pacific War, Kong Jie can speculate some reasons.

In fact, in the course of the war between China and Japan, not only the Eighth Route Army was constantly learning from the Japanese army, strengthening its troops, and enhancing its combat effectiveness, but also the Japanese army.

Especially after the rise of the elite of the Eighth Route Army, which was dominated by a team.

All kinds of surprising tactics are endless, and the little devils who fight lose their armor.

The devils have also learned a lot of lessons from this, innovated their tactics, and now they are making the US military suffer a lot in the Pacific theater.

This was indeed something that Kong Jie did not expect.

As for his future plans, Doolittle said that he hoped to return to the motherland as soon as possible with the help of the Eighth Route Army, return to the air force, and continue to lead the flying team to fight against the Japanese army.

In this regard, Kong Jie said: "Brother Du, we have an old saying in China that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the elder brother is the hero of the bombing of Tokyo, and he is also a soldier, and if he wants to go back as soon as possible and defend the motherland, it is naturally understandable."

It's just that this time, the current war situation is complicated, and the Japanese army has specially strengthened the blockade in order to search for the pilots of your brother, and they are chasing you everywhere.

It will not be easy to send you back safely in this situation.

Second, Brother Du should know very well that you, the United States, will definitely not be weaker than Japan in terms of strength.

After the outbreak of the Japanese invasion of China, the timeline has been stretched too long. Our Chinese army has long dragged the Japanese army to a miserable situation.

We all know very well that at present, the Japanese army is in a state of ruin, desperate, and even opened a two-front battlefield and took the initiative to provoke the Pacific War.

It's only a matter of time before this little devil is defeated by your American army.

Brother Du's mission, the mission of the air raid on Tokyo has been completed, in fact, in the next step with your US military, with more Air Force Lieutenant Colonel like you and less Air Force Academy like you, the impact is almost negligible. ”

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Kong Jie said.

Because Doolittle completed the combat mission of the air raid on Tokyo, he became famous in the first war and is known to the world.

If it weren't for this air raid, no one would have known his Doolittle name.

In the end, it will just be lost in the long river of history.

At the moment, he Doolittle has become a hero, and the label of a hero is attached to his Doolittle, but this also means that this can almost be said to be the highest height that Doolittle can reach in his life.

At least that's the case, if nothing else.

As Kong Jie said, the U.S. military fought the Japanese army and was not inferior to him Doolittle.

Even if he Doolittle returned to his homeland in a hurry and rejoined the fighting, it would not be of much significance.

Such a living hero may be more meaningful than a hero who goes to the battlefield to risk fighting.

"Kong, I don't understand what you mean."

Doolittle is also a smart person, this Kong Jie obviously had something to say, so he simply asked.

Kong Jie smiled, waved his right hand, drew a circle, and presented the situation of the entire detachment base area in front of Doolittle like a picture scroll, and then asked:

"What does Brother Du think, how are our Eighth Route Army troops?"

Doolittle immediately replied: "I don't have to say, you are a respectable real army!" ”

Kong Jie said angrily: "On the frontal battlefield, Chiang's troops were defeated and retreated, and most of the mountains and rivers fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.

Our Eighth Route Army was ordered to be in danger, and although there was almost no backup, backward equipment, and scarce ammunition, we still chose to advance behind enemy lines without hesitation.

So far, I don't hide from Brother Du that the base areas of our Eighth Route Army are almost everywhere in the entire north of China.

The 40-year Battle of the Hundred Regiments has reached the winter counteroffensive that was initiated by our Eighth Route Army not long ago.

Only the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were in the base areas of the anti-Japanese revolution behind enemy lines, and the troops of the New Fourth Army fighting guerrillas in the south, especially in the past few years, have almost dragged down the main forces of the Japanese army in the entire north, central, and south China, and to a great extent have responded to the frontal battlefield operations of Chiang's troops.

It can even be said that on the frontal battlefield, even if Chiang's troops were defeated, the Japanese army did not dare to rashly pursue it in depth and continue to expand the occupied area.

Why?

Because of our Eighth Route Army making noise on the battlefield behind enemy lines, the little devils have already caught fire in their backyards, so how can they have extra energy to continue to occupy territory? ”

The next words are even more domineering.

"Brother Du, I can even say on behalf of our Eighth Route Army troops without boasting, at the moment, the most powerful and troublesome opponent of the Japanese army can be said to be our Eighth Route Army."

Kong Jie said, and the conversation changed, directly involving the topic to the Pacific battlefield, which Doolittle was most concerned about.

"After the outbreak of the Pacific War, if the Japanese army wants to free up its hands to fight your American troops in the Pacific theater, it needs a premise, and it must be stable on the battlefield in China, especially the main battlefield in North China.

You can imagine that once the Japanese army can stabilize the rear of North China, then it can use this rear as a stable military station and logistics, and continuously import troops and materials to the Pacific theater to deal with your US army.

In this case, even if your U.S. military can win this war, I am afraid that it will pay a huge price in casualties. ”

Doolittle nodded, agreeing.

Kong Jie hit the railroad while it was hot: "And at the moment, if it can affect the stability of the Japanese army in the rear of North China, you US troops needless to say, far water can't quench your thirst."

Jiang's army was defeated again and again, and he couldn't count on it at all.

Therefore, only our Eighth Route Army can threaten the stability of the Japanese army in the rear of Huada, and even be able to contain the elite of the Japanese army in the battlefields of North China, Central China, and South China. ”

Doolittle said, "Yes, that's true, so, Kong, what do you mean?" ”

"Brother Du, you are a smart person, so I won't talk darkly.

Stay, help me, help our Eighth Route Army against the Japanese behind enemy lines.

This can also indirectly help your U.S. military, contain more Japanese troops, and threaten the stability of the Japanese army's rear, thereby reducing the pressure on your U.S. military to fight against the Japanese army in the Pacific theater.

In a way, this is also the best way for you to defend the motherland, Brother Du! ”

Kong Jie stated his intentions and directly invited him.

As for Kong Jie's ultimate purpose, Doolittle had actually guessed, he was silent, as if thinking, for a while, he did not rush to respond, but asked:

"Kong, do you think I can really help you by staying?"

"Can't you?" Kong Jie asked rhetorically.

"Brother Du, you don't have to hide it in front of me, your US plan to attack Tokyo this time, such a difficult task, was finally handed over to my brother, which is enough to prove your talent, brother.

In addition, I have heard John say, you are a senior engineer in the field of aviation, if such talents can't help our Eighth Route Army, what hope can we have? ”

In the face of Kong Jie's words, Doolittle finally sighed and said:

"Kong, you are my savior. I don't want to lie to you, but judging from the current situation, the anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas opened up by your Eighth Route Army in the battlefield behind enemy lines have indeed developed very well, which is amazing.

With all due respect, if you only have this level, with the foundation and foundation of your Eighth Route Army, if you want to develop your own aviation force, it is even more difficult to say something unpleasant than ascending to the sky! ”

"If it's not difficult, how can we ask Brother Du for help?" Kong Jie said with a smile.

Doolittle thought that Kong Jie did not understand what he meant, and emphasized again: "Kong, you must know that it is very difficult to build an aviation force without a foundation, or even in a poor situation.

There is a saying in China that says very well, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this is the truth. ”

Kong Jie was still smiling brightly, he didn't rush to refute, but said to Dulittle with a smile: "Brother Du, I understand what you mean, so let's ask you to visit some things first." ”

Soon.

The secret aviation research room of the anti-Japanese independent detachment in the northwest of the Eighth Route Army welcomed a special guest.

When Doolittle was invited into the research room by the gracious Kong Jie.

When he looked up, he saw the various models of airplanes in the entire research room, large and small, and a series of mathematical formulas about the field of aviation written on the blackboard in the center, plus some soldiers in American pilot suits.

Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, a ruthless man who didn't blink an eyelid during the bombing of Tokyo, was stunned on the spot for a while.

In a trance, if he didn't know that he was currently in the base of the Eighth Route Army, Doolittle would even mistakenly think that he had really entered a research laboratory in the field of aviation.

Until Kong Jie's voice broke the silence: "Comrades, do you know who this old brother in front of you is?"

This is Mr. Doolittle, a lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army Aviation who attacked Tokyo, and Mr. Doolittle, who is a cutting-edge talent in the field of aviation research, is here to guide our research work in aviation.

Warm welcome everyone! ”

In the midst of thunderous applause, Doolittle was enthusiastically embraced by everyone.

Various new fighter models specially developed by a team of researchers were placed in front of Doolittle one after another.

There are also various data and data analysis related to the aviation field, which are also placed in front of Doolittle.

The students asked questions one after another, and it happened that everyone had a lot of problems that had been troubled for a long time.

The fact that this Eighth Route Army detachment would have such a research laboratory specializing in the field of aviation has already surprised Doolittle.

However, the old lieutenant colonel didn't think much about it, although he didn't show it, he was somewhat unimpressed in his heart.

At least in his opinion, in such a rudimentary environment, in the absence of fighters, as well as real flight experience.

It is almost impossible to train research talents in the field of aviation in particular.

Until Kong Jie put a special research document in front of Doolittle.

With the advanced technical information in the aviation field produced by the system, Doolittle was directly immersed in it after the shock, unable to extricate himself.

This is the real trump card for Kong Jie to retain Doolittle, a talent in the aviation field.

Kong Jie whispered in Doolittle's ear: "Brother Du, stay, stay in our China, and be the father of China's aerospace, wouldn't it be happy?" ”……
