Wrong.

All Japanese naval aviation officers felt this way.

Why haven't you seen enemy planes all the time?

Why do your planes keep losing contact?

Losing contact often means broken jade.

So, who exterminated them?

Who is this mysterious enemy?

And where?

Eccentric......

"Attention!"

"Attention!"

All Japanese pilots were reminded to be cautious.

All Japanese carrier-based aircraft require at least five aircraft in formation. In case of an attack, there is also an opportunity to report it.

At least we can figure out who the enemy really is.

Moreover, the five Japanese fighters also had a certain strength to fight back.

The Japanese strictly carried out the order.

All are five-plane formations. Or maybe it's more.

In this way, Zhang Chu has no chance.

Seven P-38s besieged five Japanese carrier-based aircraft, but they could not achieve the goal of a quick victory. It will definitely be besieged by other carrier-based aircraft.

What to do?

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Chu decisively ordered all P-38 fighters to return home.

Since there is no chance, wait for the next time.

Some of the fuel has already been consumed. It needs to be supplemented.

Ammunition was also partially consumed. It also needs to be supplemented.

The pilots are also tired and need to rest.

As for enemy aircraft......

There will be opportunities in the future.

Unless it was a Japanese invasion, the plane never appeared on the land of China again.

"Chief of Staff ......"

Ma Mingyu felt that it was not enjoyable yet.

The fighter he piloted still had enough ammunition and enough fuel.

I feel like I can fight with the Japanese fighters.

"Withdraw!"

However, Zhang Chu insisted on returning home.

Helpless, Ma Mingyu had no choice but to return home with all the P-38 battles.

Smooth return to Quancheng Airport.

One after the other landed.

Immediately after landing, he was guided to the supply area by ground crew.

Resupply ammunition.

Replenish the fuel.

Then get ready for takeoff.

It's a pity that there were no pilots. The pilots are tired. It is necessary to rest for a few hours.

Zhang Chu was also tired. Rest is also needed.

Someone was sent to monitor the movement of the Japanese plane, and Zhang Chu also went to sleep.

I had just laid down when I suddenly remembered the cardigan. Hurriedly sent someone to report to Chen Jinchang. Let him prepare as soon as possible.

As a result, when I woke up, the cardigan was ready.

"So fast?"

Zhang Chu was a little surprised.

Go check out those cardigans. The quality is really good.

I don't bother to ask the price. Anyway, he's not short of money right now. There are so many oceans, and there are no other expenses for the time being.

Okay, send the cardigan down immediately.

Wear a few more pieces per person. When necessary, it can withstand the cold of the sky.

Alas, this backward ......

The airport ground is actually very busy.

After Chen Jinchang's arrival, various logistical preparations were being carried out.

Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, the various infrastructure projects are somewhat chaotic. A lot of workers. And excavators, bulldozers, rollers and so on.

Those big machines, no one will use them at all. I have to be taught by Zhang Chu.

Feel like Lanxiang Technical School......

Scatter a lot of the ocean out of the ocean. The result is extremely high efficiency.

The dormitory was built......

The dining hall was built......

The medical room was built......

Conning towers are being built......

All kinds of lighting, communication, and power equipment are also being connected.

How does the electricity come from? Mainly diesel generators.

Power plants or something, not for the time being. The original Quancheng Airport was not powered at all.

Han Fuqu was actually not very active in building the airport. It's just to make a show.

It would be nice to be able to bulldoze the ground.

Busy......

Busy......

I don't know if it's been a few days.

The fighting subsided for the time being.

The Japanese planes did not come again.

The remnants of the Japanese ground forces retreated to the seashore and were protected by Japanese warships.

In the face of the fire of the Japanese naval guns, there was no way to besiege.

In the face of the superior Japanese naval aviation, Zhang Chu had no way to dispatch fighters.

It's a pity.

If you want to completely annihilate the remnants of the Japanese ground forces, there are still difficulties.

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

Suddenly, someone hurried to call Zhang Chu.

It turned out that Director Luo was looking for him.

"In the city."

"Good!"

Zhang Chu quickly entered the city.

A group of soldiers of the National Army was found. All wearing helmets. The military uniform is yellow-green.

Yes, this is the Whampoa lineage!

I don't know which big guy is coming?

Go find Director Luo.

Director Luo got straight to the point, "It's someone from the attendant's room." ”

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"Didn't say it. I want to talk to you secretly. ”

"That's not appropriate!"

Zhang Chu shook his head resolutely.

There's nothing good about it in the chambers.

Contacting each other alone will definitely bring some taboos.

To be cautious, it's better not to.

"I don't have time!"

"I'm going to get busy!"

Turn around and run. Don't give Director Luo a chance to hold himself.

He was so fast that he didn't see anyone as soon as he smoked.

Director Luo shook his head helplessly.

This Zhang Chu.

It's also good that the people in the attendant's room can't see anyone, and they can't use any means.

Zhang Chu returned to the airport.

Now it's time to cash out your rewards again.

A total of eight Japanese carrier-based aircraft were shot down, and a reward of 800 oceans should be awarded!

Prepare the ocean at once.

"Ma Mingyu!"

"Here!"

"This is a reward for you!"

"Thank you!"

Ma Mingyu is young after all, and he is very happy.

Happily took the ocean over. Then everyone split it equally. There were seven pilots in total, each with a share of 110 oceans.

What about the other three? Save for next time.

"Chief of Staff, should we have an award ceremony?"

"What?"

"For such a major victory as shooting down a Japanese plane, we must have a celebration party or something......

"No need. This is a major victory. ”

"Huh?"

"It's the norm from now on."

Zhang Chu responded lightly. There are individual anti-aircraft missiles, as well as P-38 fighters, and it is not difficult to shoot down the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese invaders.

The main thing that is lacking now is the pilots. And not airplanes.

But to increase the number of pilots, it is really, really difficult. In our country, every pilot is a treasure.

After the establishment of the National Air Force, all the people who can fly planes have been trained, and I wonder if there are 10,000? Maybe not even three thousand?

Suddenly I remembered those skill cards. I don't know if it's useful......

"It's coming!"

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, someone came to report.

But it was the arrival of thirty intellectual youths who had been temporarily recruited.

Their physical condition undergoes a preliminary screening. It is in line with the requirements of the pilot. At the same time, there is also a relatively high level of cultural knowledge.

After all, Quancheng is the capital of Lu Province. The number of intellectual youth will not be too small.

"Ma Mingyu!"

"Here!"

"From now on, all of you will take the time to train trainees, including Thunderbird and Lei Zhenzi, and each will bring four students."

"Good!"

Zhang Chu took out all the skill cards. That's seven in total. Ready for use on people.

Suddenly......

"Ding......

"Skill cards have been automatically activated in batches......"

Info prompt arrived.

Then, all the skill cards are gone.

Zhang Chu: ......

Hey?

What's the situation?

Could it be that it was used on whom? But again there is no clear hint.

Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway.

Handing over the trainees to pilots for training is finally a bit easier......

"Report!"

"Chief of Staff, someone is looking for you! He said his name was Zhao Gang! ”

Suddenly, someone came to report.

Zhang Chu: "......

Ah, Comrade Zhao Gang is finally here.

Good. The commander of the tank regiment came.

Hurriedly ran out.

Sure enough, I saw Zhao Gang.

Right. That's right. That's him. The military uniform was washed white, but it was clean. The discipline buckle is also tightly buckled. The military posture is meticulous.

"Chief of Staff!"

Zhao Gang stood up and saluted.

Zhang Chu raised his hand and returned the salute.

"Political Commissar Zhao ......"

Subconsciously shouted.

Suddenly something didn't feel right. Zhao Gang is not a political commissar now.

He is now the head of the regiment!

The commander of the tank regiment!

"Comrade Zhao Gang, have you gone to see Director Luo?"

"Report, I have already met Director Luo just now. He asked me to come to you! ”

"What did Director Luo arrange for you to do?"

"Tank regimental ......"

"Come with me!"

Zhang Chu was immediately relieved.

Now that Director Luo has already said it. Let's get started.

It just so happens that next to the airfield, there is a large open field, which is very suitable for the tank regiment to carry out basic training.

What?

Mountain combat training?

Sorry, that was too demanding. Not for now.

It is already ideal to be able to make tank regiments relatively proficient in fighting in the plains. You have to train for at least one year.

In the vicinity of the airfield, it is also good for air defense. The Japanese planes did not dare to arrive.

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang followed behind Zhang Chu in confusion.

In fact, he was very confused in his heart. Also a little nervous. Because of the tank regiment he did not touch.

Although he knows about tanks. Also seen. However, I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would also have a tank regiment. As for himself, he had just entered the Kang University branch, and as a result, he was urgently transferred out and served as the commander of the tank regiment. For this appointment, Zhao Gang has no bottom in his heart. I don't know if I'm up to it.

"Do you know Li Yunlong?"

"Who is Li Yunlong?"

"It's fine. Casual mention. ”

Zhang Chu was weird in his heart.

With his own arrival, he dismantled a pair of CPs from the good end. The direction of the plot has also changed.

Finally saw the tank.

Exactly ten. This is all that Zhang Chu has accumulated.

There are so many things that not many people can play.

"See?"

"See."

Zhao Gang was secretly shocked in his heart.

Those tanks look huge! Much larger than the devil's tank.

When I arrived, I found that it was bigger than I imagined. It can really be described as a behemoth.

I feel that it is really effortless to deal with the tanks of the Japanese invaders.

Don't say open fire.

Just hit it and smash it.

"This is the Red Star Tank ......"

"Weight 34 tons, main gun caliber 100 mm, speed up to 30 kilometers per hour......"

"Can withstand direct fire from artillery below 100 mm......"

Zhang Chu briefly introduced.

Actually, I really want to show it. If it was Li Yunlong, he would definitely show off in front of Li Yunlong.

This is called a real tank!

Those devils are all small beans! It's all toys!

But in front of Zhao Gang, there was no need. Zhao Gang himself will figure out the Red Star Tank thoroughly.

Such a high bunch of manuals is completely fine for Zhao Gang.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you!"

"What about the troops?"

"What troops?"

"What about the tank driver?"

"Didn't Director Luo arrange it?"

"Nope."

"Ah......h

Zhang Chu was stunned.

What? Director Luo didn't arrange it?

Just sent himself a bare-pole tank commander to arrive?

Dizzy!

There is no such thing as a shortage of manpower.

Ten tanks, for a hundred, in fact, it's about the same. Including spare car crews, as well as logistics personnel, etc.

Of course, it would be better if there were two hundred people. This allows for more spare car sets.

Zhao Gang: ......

Only tanks, no one?

"What did Director Luo tell you?"

"He asked me to come to you. Actually, nothing was said. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you to recruit people."

"Huh?"

Zhao Gang was at a loss.

Need to recruit people on an ad hoc basis? All right......

Thankfully, it didn't work out.

Soon someone came to report with troops. It was all arranged by Director Luo.

One hundred and fifty people in total.

There were thirty veteran soldiers in the middle, and one hundred and twenty newly recruited intellectual youths.

Tanks are also a technical branch of arms, and they also require a certain amount of cultural knowledge. At least you have to be literate. At the same time, motion sickness is not allowed. Driving a tank is much more uncomfortable than driving a normal vehicle.

Then start training.

The first is the basic tank knowledge. Zhang Chu is in charge.

"Report!"

Suddenly, someone raised their hand.

Zhang Chu nodded.

The soldier immediately stood up and asked loudly, "Chief of Staff, can our tank penetrate the Japanese tank with one shot?" ”

"Within three thousand meters, as long as you hit accurately, it will be absolutely destroyed." Zhang Chu replied affirmatively, "Directly exploded into pieces." ”

"How can you aim at such a distance of three thousand meters?"

"There are auxiliary sighting devices. However, you also need to study hard. ”

"Then we can shoot targets with live ammunition in training?"

"Yes. Fifty shells were fired each. ”

"How much?"

"Fifty rounds each. There are four people in each car group, which is a total of 200 rounds! ”

"What?"

Everyone was amazed,

Including Zhao Gang.

They didn't expect that there would be so many live ammunition for training.

One crew is 200 rounds!

Those 20 crews are 4,000 shells!

So many shells......

"Chief of Staff, do you need so many shells?"

"There are shells."

"Ah......h

"Commander Zhao, you don't need to worry about the consumption of shells. I'll give you as many shells as you need. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang agreed. But there are still some doubts in my heart.

Others were equally confused.

Lip service is not true. They have seen too many such things.

Zhang Chu then arranged for a convoy to transport the shells.

Thirty truckloads were pulled directly. A thousand shells per truck. That's 30,000 rounds in total!

"Ah......h

"So many ......"

"Wow......"

The exclamations rang out again.

They had never seen so many shells before. It's all transported by a convoy!

So many trucks......

Zhao Gang was also surprised. Try to control the shock inside.

Thirty truckloads of shells, that's 30,000 rounds!

He actually had 30,000 shells!

Sky!

"Captain Zhao, this is for you."

"What?"

"One hundred thousand oceans!"

"Huh?"

"This is the funding of the tank regiment."

"Ah......h

Zhao Gang was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly. Unexpectedly. The funds of the tank regiment are actually 100,000 oceans.

Subsequently, trucks were used for fuel. It's all barrel by barrel. A total of five hundred barrels. It's all diesel.

Tanks are oil tigers. There is not enough diesel to run at all.

"Head Zhao, do you still have questions?"

"Nope."

"Okay. The rest is up to you. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang replied proudly.

There are shells, there is fuel. Everything else is fine.

No barracks? Build your own.

Don't have a training ground? Plan for yourself! Do it yourself!

Except for shells and oil, he can solve everything else.

Zhang Chu then said goodbye in a chic manner.
