When the chief of staff on the side heard this, he said with a moving expression.

"Boss."

"This is the 4th Brigade of the National Air Force, but it is a well-known Zhihang Brigade."

"Almost all of the pilots of the National Air Force in this brigade are experienced veteran pilots, with rich combat experience, and even ace pilots."

The chief of staff told what he had learned.

When the boss heard this, a flash of memory suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In the Battle of Songhu in 1937, the Japanese army dispatched 100 bombers to bomb Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces indiscriminately.

Under the leadership of Gao Zhihang, the Fourth Brigade took the initiative to meet the enemy and fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders' Kisarazu Air Force over the Amaranth Bridge in Hangzhou, setting a record of 6 to 0 for the first victory of the Chinese Air Force against Japan and winning a major victory in the 14 August Air Battle.

In recognition of the merits, the Fourth Brigade was renamed the Zhihang Brigade.

It's a pity that in October of the same year, the Japanese army attacked Zhoujiakou Airport, and Gao Zhihang was martyred.

Later, due to the heavy losses of the Nationalist Air Force, the 4th Air Brigade was withdrawn to Liangping, Sichuan, to take on the task of defending the mountain city.

At present, Chennault, with the secret help of the United States, has established the Flying Tigers in the form of mercenaries in China.

The pilots of the national army and the pilots of the United States were fighting the pilots of the devils in Southeast Asia, Central China and South China at this time.

I heard that the Eighth Route Army also suddenly appeared aviation units, and also completely annihilated the aviation units of the Japanese North China Front.

The air force leaders of the national army suddenly couldn't sit still, and wanted to send the 4th Air Brigade under their command to Shanxi to explore the reality of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit.

"Who is the captain of the 4th Air Brigade of the National Army now?" The chief looked at the chief of staff and asked.

Although the head of the headquarters was very interested in this 4th Air Brigade to stay in the Eighth Route Army.

But at present, the KMT and the CCP are still in a state of cooperation, and they are nominally friendly forces.

If the pilots of the National Army are willing to stay, the Eighth Route Army will of course welcome them, and if the pilots of the National Army are unwilling to stay, then the Eighth Route Army will not be able to force them to stay.

"It seems to be called Zheng Shaoqiang, a major of the National Air Force."

The chief of staff replied.

The chief nodded: "Immediately call back to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Shancheng, welcome the friendly air force to Taiyuan for exchange and study, and determine the time for the friendly army to arrive in Taiyuan." ”

"In addition, send another telegram to YA, report the situation, and then ask to investigate Zheng Shaoqiang's situation, and see if you can win over this person when the time comes."

As long as you can get the captain of the National Air Force, there is a high probability that you can get the squadron leader, detachment leader and pilot of the National Air Force.

"Understood."

The chief of staff quickly drew up two telegrams, which were signed by the chief and handed over to the telegrapher.

The telegraph operator took the telegram and gave a military salute and turned to leave.

……

The next day at noon.

Around Takejuku Airport, in an open space.

At present, the main force of the new regiment is basically stationed near Wusu Airport, and there is also Ding Wei's new second regiment, which is stationed north of Taiyuan City.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo arrived at Wusu Airport and prepared to receive the goods.

Today is the day of receipt agreed between Li Yunlong and Boss Chen.

Ding Wei, the chief and chief of staff, and a number of officers from the headquarters all came to watch.

At this time, dozens of planes were still parked on the runway of Wusu Airport.

Among them were 5 transport aircraft, 5 reconnaissance aircraft, 20 Sabre fighters, and 50 heavy bombers.

The infrastructure around the airport, ammunition depots, oil depots, and towers, the sappers and workers of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province are in full swing.

Presently.

The construction of the Heyuan airport has been completed, and the team of engineers and workers who built the Heyuan airport has already built several airports.

After the repair of Wusu Airport is completed, the team will immediately repair Xincheng Airport.

It was raining two days ago.

But today the sky is beautiful, and the sky is clear.

In anticipation of the leaders, the sound of buzzing airplanes sounded in the sky, and the leaders looked shocked and hurriedly looked at the sky.

Huang Erhu, the guard next to Li Yunlong, immediately took out the signal gun on his waist, skillfully loaded the bullet, then opened the safety and pulled the trigger at the sky.

A flare rises.

Obviously, Boss Chen's pilot had seen the flare, and the plane was whining and flying in this direction.

Soon, the roar of the planes rang out, and the chiefs raised their binoculars to look, only to see a group of densely packed dragonfly-like planes appear in the eastern sky.

Under every plane, there is a cannon hoisted!

The officers and commanders and fighters of the main force of the new regiment around them also raised their heads one after another, their eyes and expressions were both shocked and delighted.

"Chief, look, our cannons are coming!"

Li Yunlong laughed, pointed to the plane in the sky, and said to the chief with a smile.

The faces of the chief and chief of staff quickly showed joy, and through the vision of the telescope, they saw that under each dragonfly helicopter, there was a cannon on it.

And it's all heavy artillery!

The chief put down the binoculars on his chest, looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong, what caliber is this heavy artillery?" ”

"Report to the chief."

For heavy artillery of this caliber, Li Yunlong has long been familiar with the parameters, and reported:

"This is a 122mm howitzer, the full name is the Soviet M1938 122mm howitzer, but this is an improved version of Boss Chen's arsenal."

"It is a Soviet divisional support artillery that fires a 21.8-kilogram high-explosive grenade with a total weight of 2.45 tons, which is more powerful and has a longer range than a 105-millimeter howitzer!"

"Each heavy gun is equipped with shells of 3 bases."

"Like the howitzers of the past, they can fire high-explosive grenades, incendiary grenades, smoke grenades and flares."

As for accuracy, the accuracy of the cannon produced by Boss Chen has always been very high, and it is the best in the world.

In addition, the weapons and ammunition produced by Boss Chen's arsenal, from guns to artillery, to tanks and airplanes, have a very low failure rate, which has won the praise of the front-line soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Soldier of the Eighth Route Army: I have never used such good weapons and ammunition in my eight lifetimes.

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "Today, Boss Chen's transport plane and helicopter will deliver 1,000 cannons to us, and the ammunition will be delivered by large transport planes from tomorrow. ”

Listening to Li Yunlong's introduction, the faces of the boss and the chief of staff suddenly showed a strong look of happiness.

1,000 heavy artillery, even if it is an artillery regiment with 36 heavy guns, it can be organized into 28 artillery regiments, according to 2 artillery regiments, 1 artillery brigade, 2 artillery brigades and 1 artillery division, that is, 14 artillery brigades, that is, 7 artillery divisions!

And 7 heavy artillery divisions!

You know, on the bright side, the devil's army is only six or seven heavy artillery brigades...

Thinking of this, the boss's expression was extremely satisfied, it was so fragrant!

"This is just the first batch of 200 122-mm howitzers, and today there are 5 batches in total."

Li Yunlong continued:

"Today there are 300 122-mm howitzers, 240 152-mm howitzers, 160 Katyusha rocket launchers, 100 self-propelled 155-mm howitzers."

"After that, tanks, aerial bombs, fuel oil, civilian factory equipment, arsenal production lines, as well as mechanics and artillery instructors of the arsenal production line will arrive one after another within half a month."

"However, the amount of grain and fuel is relatively large, and Boss Chen's transport troops will complete the delivery within two or three months."

At present, in the entire Eighth Route Army, only Li Yunlong has contact with Boss Chen, and Li Yunlong is basically proficient in the receiving process.

The look of the boss and the chief of staff became more and more satisfied.

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Our civilian factories are mainly divided into three areas, the southeast industrial zone of Shanxi, the northwest industrial zone of Shanxi, and the Taiyuan industrial zone. ”

In line with the principle that eggs are not put in one basket.

The head of the headquarters decided to divide the arsenal and the civilian industrial plant into three parts.

The arsenal in the southeast of Shanxi has already formed a scale, which is mainly handed over to the 129th Division, and the industrial zone in the northwest of Shanxi is under construction, and Li Yunlong's new regiment is in charge.

The industrial zone of the headquarters, mainly built in Taiyuan, was established on the site of the former Taiyuan Arsenal.

Although the current Taiyuan Arsenal is just an empty shell, the original factory's houses, dormitories and other buildings are still there, which can save the Eighth Route Army a lot of effort.

Although the troops of the new regiment are not very dependent on weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal at the moment.

However, Li Yunlong is still preparing to develop his own military and civilian industries.

In case Boss Chen doesn't help one day, the new regiment also has its own logistics supply channels, right?

And.

After the military industry in the northwest of Shanxi Province becomes bigger and stronger, it can also come up with a large amount of weapons and ammunition to support the fraternal troops.

"Chief, don't worry."

李云龙 says:

"I have already communicated with Boss Chen, and according to the chief's wishes, I will send all kinds of equipment and military production lines from the factory to Taiyuan and northwest Shanxi."

And not only the head of the headquarters.

Even Ding Wei, Wang Dehou, Zhao Gang and others who were standing beside Li Yunlong were all smiling.

As he spoke, the first batch of 200 122mm howitzers had been unloaded, and 200 helicopters had risen into the air and then quickly moved away.

Looking at the 200 new cannons in the distance and the new regiment of troops stationed nearby, the soldiers all had bright eyes and resolute faces.

"Good!"

"I'm relieved of you."

The chief patted Li Yunlong's shoulder, his expression extremely satisfied.

At present, Li Yunlong is the number one celebrity around the chief and chief of staff, and when Li Yunlong is next to the head of the headquarters, even the operational staff officers of the headquarters have to stand aside.

The chief said: "The artillery school over there in YA has recently graduated a batch of artillerymen, and I will give them all to you." ”

"Thank you, Chief." Li Yunlong looked happy, "However, just give me half of it, after all, the brother troops also need artillery." ”

After a great deal of live-fire training and actual combat experience, there was no shortage of artillery in the new regiment.

Even if the size of the artillery unit of the new regiment was to be tripled, Li Yunlong was not too worried, and it was a big deal to divide the original artillery fighters into three and form a new artillery battalion in the way that the old artillery would lead the new artillery.

Supplemented by a large amount of live-ammunition training, and a few battles on the battlefield, the rookies of the new artillery will all become old birds.

On the battlefield, there are artillery shells and actual combat training for rookies.

The quality of the devil's artillery unit is indeed very high, but the devil's artillery is relatively collapsed, and the number of artillery is still very small.

The support artillery at the level of the Devil's Division is only 75mm mountain guns and 75mm field guns.

Frontal artillery battle, the artillery unit of the new regiment, can give the devil's artillery unit out.

Moreover, Li Yunlong also heard that Boss Chen's arsenal was researching a counter-artillery radar.

Needless to say, Li Yunlong knew that this must have been tailor-made by Boss Chen for the Eighth Route Army.

After a pause, Li Yunlong asked: "Chief, do you still remember, about two years ago at the Hongyadong Arsenal, I said a word?" ”

"What?"

The chief asked, retracting his gaze from the 200 122mm howitzers.

"The first rich lead the latter to become rich."

Li Yunlong smiled slightly.
