"What?"

"You still have fighter jets?"

"Won't it?"

The people around were also stunned.

If you sell arms, you sell arms. Even fighter jets are sold?

Fighter jets are available to ordinary people?

"Ah......h

Zhang Baitong was stunned.

It took him a while to react.

Breathe deeply.

Calm yourself down.

Judge whether Zhang Chu's words are true.

The American P-38 fighter ah! It's a bit weird! But the firepower is really strong, and the engine thrust is also very powerful.

Because it has two fuselages, it is equipped with two engines. The rest of the fighters are equipped with only one engine.

This also means that the thrust of the P-38 is stronger than that of other fighters.

Fast speed, long range.

Because there is more space to load fuel.

There is also more space to carry weapons and ammunition. There are also a lot of hanging points on the outside of the fuselage.

The only downside is that-

Expensive!

It seems like a hundred thousand dollars.

Right!

100,000 dollars!

At that time, the dollar was very valuable.

The price of an average fighter is tens of thousands of dollars. Only its price is more than 100,000!

Can't afford it......

Really can't afford it.

Fuel is also not affordable.

Both engines, both bottomless pits, require too much fuel.

Fighter planes take to the skies, burning money every second. Where does the government Air Force have so much money to let the P-38 burn to the fullest?

Silent.

Zhang Chu didn't say anything more.

The only downside to good stuff is that it's expensive. That's no way around it.

The P-51 Mustang fighter produced later had the best comprehensive performance. Maximum yield. It is because of its relatively low cost. Just over 30,000 dollars.

Three P-51 Mustang fighters, which can definitely defeat one P-38 Lightning fighter.

…… Far from it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw three sampans coming out of the reeds to the south. Approximately two kilometers upstream.

On top of the sampan, there are some bronze men. A gun in hand.

It seems to be all made in Hanyang?

They approached the Japanese soldiers diagonally along the river and opened fire.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Beat all the Japanese to death one by one.

Those Japanese criminals who were struggling in the river water, of course, did not have any ability to fight back. Eventually, they were all wiped out.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

They jumped into the water one after another.

Soon after, someone came out of the water. Holding the weapons and equipment of the Japanese invaders in his hands.

Oh, they're digging into the river to fish.

It's a pity that all you can catch are rifles and the like. Bullets or something, you can't get rid of them.

Zhang Chu: ???

Who is it?

So aggressively replenish guns?

Are you worried that the Japanese invaders haven't died yet?

Actually, you don't have to......

"Do you know those people?" Zhang Chu turned his head and asked Pei Haixiong.

"I don't know. Not like our people. Pei Haixiong shook his head. Probably anti-Japanese activists who spontaneously organized. ”

Zhang Chu nodded.

Then I saw the little sampans coming to shore this way.

Soon after, several bronzed strong men appeared. All of them are made with Hanyang on their backs.

It was they who killed all the Japanese who fell into the water. He also jumped into the river to salvage the weapons and equipment of the Japanese invaders. But there wasn't much to be caught.

Not to mention the rest, the water-based is really good.

"You are ......"

"You are the Red Army!"

"Yes. Excuse me, ...... you guys?"

"We are also partisans of the Red Army."

"Really?"

Pei Haixiong was very surprised.

I never expected that it was my own person. But, really don't know.

"We're from the Water Warriors."

"Martial arts team?"

"Yes!"

The bronze man introduced himself, his name was Fan Xu.

Well, that's the name. It's exactly the same name as the ancient Fan Xu. The length is almost identical.

The difference is that the ancient Fan Hao may not understand water. But this Fan Hao in front of him is a white strip in the waves. He can hold in the water for five minutes when he goes down with a fierce son. It's amazing.

"Are you hungry?"

"What?"

Zhang Chu was puzzled.

I saw Fan Hao waving his hand.

The three strong men behind him jumped into the river. A fierce man plunged down.

Moments later......

Whoa......

Someone came out of the water.

Holding a large silver carp in both hands. It was judged to weigh more than a dozen pounds.

Zhang Chu: Good guy!

Blessed! Grilled fish is coming!

"Pei Daxiong!"

Fan Hao suddenly shouted.

It turned out that he recognized Pei Haixiong as coming.

"Is that you?"

Pei Haixiong was also very surprised.

It turned out that the two of them met many years ago. But then I never saw him again.

Seriously speaking, Pei Haixiong is from the Four Fronts. Fan Xu is on the one hand.

A Gangnam. A Jiangbei.

"How many of you are left?" Zhang Chu asked.

"More than fifty!" Fan Hao replied while grilling the fish.

"All proficient in water?"

"How else do you catch fish?"

"Want a torpedo boat?"

"What?"

"Do you know that the Japanese destroyer was sunk?"

"What? What did you do? ”

Fan Xu suddenly didn't want to grill the fish.

All the attention turned to Zhang Chu.

"Yes!"

"I did it."

"I have torpedo boats."

Zhang Chu replied lightly.

It's just like wanting to fall asleep and someone sends a pillow. God has sent talents to himself.

So many torpedo boats, don't worry that no one is maneuvering.

"I want it!"

"I want it!"

Fan said anxiously.

And then I realized something. Shut up regretfully.

Stuff is a good thing. But I can't afford it. You can think of a weapon that can sink a Japanese destroyer with your knees, how can ordinary people afford it?

"Is it free?" Pei Haixiong asked helpfully.

"Do you have the money to buy it?" Zhang Chu responded angrily.

"Nope."

"How many do you want?"

"How much do you want?"

"I'll give you three first. Familiarize yourself with familiarity first. ”

"Okay!"

Fan was overjoyed.

It turns out that you don't need money!

Say it early......

Zhang Chu then arranged for a torpedo boat to deliver the goods.

Soon after, three torpedo boats were in place. Not far from them. It's right next to the reeds.

Immediately take Fan Hao and them to find it.

Soon, three brand-new torpedo boats were ahead. The torpedo has also been loaded. But the anti-aircraft machine gun was not added. That's Zhang Chu's own business.

"Huh?"

Fan Xu's eyes suddenly rounded.

There really is!

It's still three as many!

Is it the Japanese destroyer they sank?

He saw the torpedo.

I know it's a big killer.

"Come up!"

Zhang Chu beckoned.

Gather all the people brought by Fan Xu on top of a torpedo boat.

Let's get started with a simple explanation.

This thing is actually a consumable. How so? The comprehensive combat effectiveness is definitely inferior to that of the Japanese destroyers.

However, if it is used in the Yangtze River inland waters, the power is not necessarily less than that of destroyers.

The destroyer is powerful. But there is no place for heroes. The water surface of the Yangtze River is also narrow, and the destroyers cannot be used.

"A 12.7 mm machine gun is required."

"If you encounter a small gunboat from the Japanese invaders, you will use anti-aircraft machine guns to deal with it."

"However, if you encounter a Japanese destroyer, you must retreat immediately. Then look for opportunities to attack. Launch torpedoes at close range. ”

Zhang Chu concisely expounded the operational policy.

The two weapons of the torpedo boat, in fact, are still very domineering.

Anti-aircraft machine guns, which can deal with small ones.

Torpedoes can deal with large ones.

As long as you do it right, it won't be too difficult to defeat the enemy.

After all, this is the Yangtze River waterway. If the Japanese destroyers come in, they will definitely not be able to move away.

Torpedo boats, on the other hand, were much more flexible.

Learn to drive first.

Fan Xu and the others will operate the boat. But there is no experience in driving a small steamer.

Still, it's easy to learn.

Zhang Chu pointed out for less than twenty minutes, and most of the people had mastered the basic operations.

If you want to be proficient, that's for later.

The war is still very long. As long as they don't die, they have plenty of time to practice.

Suddenly, there was an idea.

"Captain Pei?"

"What's the matter?"

"Pick fifty people to follow the boat."

"Do what?"

"Escort them to Hankow."

"Huh?"

Pei Haixiong was stunned.

Going to get started so soon?

Zhang Chu again arranged two torpedo boats. So there are five of them.

Each ship can carry about 30 people. It can be used as a transport ship. All the way upstream. Maybe you can get to Hankow.

"No way!"

"There is Japanese artillery fire in Anqing to block the river."

"We can't get by."

Pei Haixiong shook his head.

Zhang Chu: ???

Is it? Then there is no way.

It was impossible for the torpedo boats to compete with the Japanese artillery fire.

Even a 75-mm mountain gun could sink a torpedo boat.

With so many people, he couldn't have broken through.

However, it seems that it is not impossible for him to go on a solo adventure.

So I ate grilled fish.

After eating the grilled fish, continue the training.

It's pretty much the same. Zhang Chu took the torpedo boat upstream.

Let's go and see the Japanese invaders in Anqing first.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Sure enough, it was soon shelled.

A 75-mm mountain gun indeed. Enough to block the river.

The 14th Japanese Division had a heavy artillery wing. Has a 105-mm heavy cannon. It's not in use yet.

The 75-mm mountain guns of the wing level alone were enough to destroy the torpedo boats.

"Withdraw!"

I had no choice but to turn around and go downstream. Soon back to the original place.

The grilled fish is not finished yet.

"How?" Pei Haixiong greeted him.

"There is artillery fire from the Japanese in Anqing." Zhang Chu replied briefly.

But there was no discouragement.

The Japanese were able to blockade the river near Anqing. However, we can also block the lower reaches of Anqing.

The Japanese did not allow the Nationalist army to resupply from upstream.

We did not allow the Japanese to resupply from downstream.

Everyone blocked each other.

Hurt each other.

It's up to who can make it to the end.

"Your task is to block the river."

"I'll give you the radio."

"If you have a superior, contact the superior as soon as possible, and hopefully they will be able to support more manpower."

"I have a weapon. But no one. You just need to provide people. ”

Zhang Chu began to arrange the battle.

He planned to set up a water detachment to fight the Japanese in the Yangtze River channel.

Here, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese navy could not be fully developed. It hit exactly the seven inches of the Japanese invaders.

"You still have a radio?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu replied affirmatively.

He does have a lot of radio stations now.

When fighting with the 57th and 51st Divisions, there are sporadic rewards in it.

And the 51st and 57th divisions, both at the battalion level, were equipped with radios, and he did not need to provide them.

"Can you give it to us?"

"I'll give you five first. If you still need it, I will continue to provide it. ”

"That's great!"

Fan Xu's face flushed with excitement.

Even on the bronzed cheeks, you can clearly see the flush.

He was very excited.

There are weapons, and there are radios.

"By the way, I'll give you some more weapons for self-defense."

"What weapon?"

"Five-six semi-automatic rifles."

Zhang Chu beckoned.

Let Sun Guiying bring a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

The women of them are equipped.

Compared to the Garand, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is much lighter. Suitable for use on the river.

The main armament of the water detachment is still large-caliber machine guns, as well as torpedoes, mines, etc......

Hey?

Mine?

Zhang Chu suddenly realized that he had missed a very important weapon.

If used well, the power of mines is also very terrifying. The same can be done to block the Yangtze River waterway. Even if it was a Japanese destroyer, it could only retreat.

But don't rush, take it one step at a time.

First of all, a brief explanation of the use of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. They are all veterans of the battlefield, and they will understand it as soon as they hear it.

"Another ......"

Zhang Chu also prepared a few sacks of the ocean.

The water detachment must build a wharf and a base area, and it will not work without the ocean.

Unlike the Army. Both the Navy and the Air Force are very money-burning.

So many torpedo boats, you need to buy some special items, and you also need money.

"This ......"

Seeing so many oceans, Fan Hao hesitated.

If it's weapons and ammunition, he can take it happily. However, if it is an ocean of white flowers......

I'm embarrassed after all.

"You can start with an IOU. Return after victory in battle. ”

Zhang Chu understated.

Fan Hao accepted it.

I actually wrote an IOU. I pressed my finger print.

If it is borrowed. That's much easier to accept. As for how to return it, that's all for later.

"The enemy is coming!"

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

Zhang Chu looked up. It turned out that there were small gunboats of Japanese invaders downstream.

Behind the small gunboats, there were transports.

Oh, it's good to come!

The water detachment was immediately ordered to prepare for battle.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Fan shouted loudly.

Soon, all five torpedo boats were ready.

Lined up in a row to block the river.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

Large-caliber machine guns were the first to strafe.

The small gunboat of the Japanese invaders suddenly flew with flesh and blood. The Japanese invaders above were shattered one after another.

Fifteen anti-aircraft machine guns! The power of that shot.

Some of the bullets were dumped on the transport ship behind.

On top of the small steamer, there were about 200 Japanese soldiers. Who would have thought that it would be subjected to such terrible machine-gun fire.

The naked eye barely saw where the enemy was, and the Japanese fell one after another.

Large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets with an ultra-long range.

Although only a part hits. It's also enough to inflict lethal damage on the Japanese invaders.

Five small steamers, a large group of Japanese invaders, all suffered a catastrophe. The remaining Japanese invaders hurriedly called for help on the radio.

Outcome......

"Bang!"

Before the telegram could be sent, the radio station was blown up.

It was Zhang Chu who blew it up with Barrett.

Want to ventilate?

I'm sorry!

Go to hell!
