Chapter 19: Seven Divisions and 80,000 People!

When the performance of our planes comprehensively crushed the devil's army aviation, with the actual combat experience of the three combat heroes, it would certainly be easy to destroy the three Type 97 fighters.

During this period, the three people who were scattered around to be in charge of guarding also came back one after another. All the Spitfires reunited and continued their escort mission all the way south.

"After investigation, no enemy aircraft have been found at the moment. There is a high probability that those small days just came out to patrol, and we were unlucky to bump into us and die."

"Captain, you're still so fast! Before I even could see clearly, the enemy was killed, congratulations on breaking your own record. ”

The voice in the communication channel was like a reassuring pill, which made the rest of the entire group breathe a sigh of relief.

If one is accidentally entangled by an enemy plane, it is equivalent to stabbing the devil's nest in East China.

The other party must know the C47, the famous transport aircraft, after all, Nakajima bought the production license of the Douglas company, and they know how many tons of materials can be carried by twenty-five air trains.

When the time comes, it is not too much to come to a flying team, and no one with a brain will let go of this kind of fat sheep that is almost delivered to the mouth.

After hearing the words of his teammates, Wang Hai nodded silently. He looked very calm, as if the person who had just broken the record was not himself.

Although the devil lost three fighters, the ground would definitely not be able to react for a while. He was ready to take advantage of the time difference to run away quickly, and there was a high probability that he could avoid a fight.

"I'll lead the way for the rest of the route, and everyone will follow. The 800-meter point was admitted, and the oil was pushed to accelerate and prepare for the climb. ”

"The transport aircraft formation is also moving at full speed, just enough to consume some more fuel. Now none of us know the situation at the destination field airport, so prepare in advance to save you the fear when landing. ”

"Roger!"

As the flight altitude increases, the air pressure starts to decrease and the temperature decreases with it.

Fortunately, the combat heroes are wearing thick flight suits, and the C47 has a 24v power supply and heating system, and the change in the environment does not affect the piloting of the comrades.

More than half an hour later, under the guidance of Captain Wang Hai, everyone arrived safely above the destination.

Unexpectedly, the construction level of the field airfield in southern Anhui was very high.

Just looking at it from a high altitude, you can find that many details of the airport are better handled than those of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area.

The three runways are reasonable in terms of length, width and location. There are even ground crews on both sides who are responsible for navigation, so you don't have to think about it to know that there must have been a professional to guide you.

However, the specific reasons will be known as soon as they are analyzed, after all, before the reorganization of the troops, they had two biplanes.

The first was an American light reconnaissance plane captured by the Red Fourth Army, which not only flew over Wuhan but also dropped two bombs in another battle.

The bald head was furious when he learned of this, and angrily scolded Niang Xipi.

For the sake of this plane, the comrades in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area not only set up an aviation bureau, but also built a 100-acre airport.

The second is a British light trainer plane captured by the Red One, although no airport has been built, but a runway has been specially prepared for it.

There are quite a few veterans who stayed behind to fight guerrillas in southern Anhui, and some of them have experience in building airfields.

After a short discussion, Captain Wang Hai decided to let the transport plane formation land first. And their six Spitfires continued to circle, just in case an enemy suddenly appeared.

Principal Chang looked at the co-pilot's position, his partner was a little nervous at this time, and sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

"Take it easy, this isn't our first landing. Sit tight, watch my operation, you will have to sit in the driver's seat sooner or later. ”

"Good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drove the air train down the landing gear. Immediately after that, the angle is adjusted, and the speed and altitude are reduced.

Boom!

The first transport plane landed successfully in all directions, causing a burst of cheers from the ground crew.

In addition to the increasing proficiency in driving skills, this is also due to the excellent quality of the air trains.

Not only is it robust and durable, but it also has low requirements for landing sites. The benefits of the rear three-point landing gear layout were vividly demonstrated when landing at a field airfield.

The thick main landing gear wheels can easily navigate through potholes, and the taller engines are less susceptible to flying sand and gravel.

Theoretically, it can even carry out a relatively safe belly landing in the event of severe damage to the body.

Watching huge transport planes fall from the sky, all the comrades present were so shocked that they were speechless.

Everyone even wondered if they had too little contact with the border area, so they didn't know that the army had changed so drastically.

"This! We really have our own Air Force! ”

"And those planes are so beautiful, they are all monoplanes, and they look much more advanced than the devils and preserved fruits."

"Are we going to have a good life too?"

After the shock, there were naturally cheers, such a large formation would definitely be able to carry a lot of supplies.

The soldiers all heard about the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and they envied the firepower of the Eighth Route Army for more than a day or two.

But at this moment, the accident happened, and the left landing gear suddenly collapsed while the last transport plane was taxiing. The whole plane leaned to the left, and even the belly skin fell off quite a bit.

Fortunately, the transport plane was carrying consumer goods, and there were no flammable or explosive weapons and ammunition inside.

What's more, with Captain Wang Hai's foresight, the transport plane used up almost all the fuel halfway, and it neither exploded nor suffered much damage.

Such a thrilling landing made the waiting soldiers fearful.

The plane on the runway had not yet stopped, and Master Ye, who was full of worry, immediately rushed up with people.

"The hygienist comes with me! Fast! Check for the wounded first! Everyone don't care about supplies, there is time for a while! ”

As an intellectual who has been studying since childhood, and has the experience of living in Europe, Master Ye can be said to have a certain understanding of aircraft.

After worrying, he was naturally moved, judging from Master Ye's experience, how could such a large twin-engine military transport plane not be about 100,000 US dollars.

In order to support themselves, the border area has really made a bloody investment.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had come to the side of the transport plane that had the accident.

In the face of unfamiliar behemoths, they have the feeling of picking up gold in the boiling oil pot and not knowing where to start. Several people discussed for a while, and they didn't know how to get inside the plane.

However, just as they were about to violently break down the door and start the rescue, the three-section cargo door at the rear of the plane had been opened from the inside.

A moment later, two young men in the winter uniforms of the Eighth Route Army walked out of the plane, and one of the comrades, wearing a dogskin hat, rubbed his shoulders and complained to his companion:

"I told me to come, and you still don't believe me. Now it's okay, there is a problem with the landing gear, and I don't know if it can be fixed. ”

"It's a fucking shame, there are twenty-five transport planes in the whole formation, and only our side has a problem."

After saying that, the fighter also kicked the sand on the runway like a vent.

Although the duo appeared to be in good shape, neither could guarantee that they had not suffered internal injuries. Several hygienists directly put the pilot on the stretcher, and when they were confused, they directly carried it and ran.

After the situation was brought under control, Master Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Principal Chang and Captain Wang Hai trotted to the scene, and the two passed by the hygienist.

After making sure that the pilot and the transport plane were not badly damaged, they also put their hearts hanging in mid-air back into their stomachs.

It was the first time for both parties to meet, but Principal Chang had seen the photos before leaving. He straightened out his military uniform, immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying:

"Hello chief! The 1st Air Division transport team reports to you! ”

"Two-thirds of this batch of supplies is weapons, and the remaining one-third is consumer goods."

Master Ye was very excited, as soon as he grabbed the other party's hand, Rao is the first time that a famous general of the Northern Expedition experienced such a large-scale airlift.

"Hello comrade! You've worked hard all the way, so let's rest and rest. The unloading work will be left to us, and we don't have anything else, but there are too many people. ”

"Good!"

————

When boxes of brand-new military uniforms, baskets of fresh vegetables, and white pork appeared in front of the comrades' eyes, everyone's eyes lit up.

These supplies are more effective than the Stormtroopers, and the soldiers' work efficiency is much higher than in the past.

Now the fourth master's troops are far behind a few years later, and even in a sense, they are more difficult than the Eighth Route Army in 1939.

The two teams that went north in advance can be relatively better, at least in the future. The rest of the teams can be said to be earth-shatteringly poor.

Because they were sandwiched between the preserved fruit and the devil, the soldiers not only did not have their own base, but also had to look at the faces of others in everything they did.

According to the previous agreement with the bald head, the fourth master can receive a military salary of 66,000 fiat currency every month. But this money is not enough at all, and a division of the Central Army gets more than this amount.

Not to mention the issue of currency depreciation, which is currently available with fewer and fewer munitions.

But with such a small amount of money, you have to look at other people's eyes when you take it, and even those who have to accept preserved fruits come to the army from time to time to count the number of people, which is equivalent to putting a shackle on your neck.

As we all know, it is a tradition of preserved fruits. is so ruthless to his own people, and he is super double to outsiders.

The poor economic situation has made it impossible for many troops to even make up for their food.

The comrades in charge of logistics and supplies even had to borrow money from the nurses in the military hospitals, because most of them were overseas Chinese or from large families in big cities, and they carried some cash with them when they joined the army.

In the most difficult period, the logistics department could only borrow a little money per person to buy grain, and then repay the money when the funds for preserved fruits were distributed.

The clothing of the troops is also a problem, often in the winter there is no cotton clothing, and in the summer can only remove the cotton from the cotton clothes to wear a smock, and there is not even a set of change of clothes.

Thanks to the area where the fourth master is active, the weather and temperature are relatively better. If there were to be a fight in the north, there would have to be a large number of non-combat attrition.

These conditions will not begin to improve slowly until two years later, when pig farms, Dazhong brand, Pegasus brand, fishing, salt drying and other industries will be set up, and the base areas will be able to shake off poverty and become rich.

Watching tons of supplies moved out of the belly of the machine, a little soldier finally couldn't help but ask:

"Company commander, do you think we can eat meat today? I didn't eat it during the Chinese New Year last year, and I didn't have oil and water in my stomach for a long time. ”

As soon as the words fell, his throat rolled up and down, and there were obvious traces of swallowing saliva, and even some of the corners of his mouth flowed out.

The rest of the soldiers also raised their heads and looked at their company commander with expectant eyes.

But just then, there was a fart sound in the transport team. The sound seemed to have turned on a switch, and the sound came and went.

Food procurement was difficult due to the lack of funds for the troops.

In addition, there is no land of their own to farm, resulting in everyone having eaten sweet potatoes, soybeans, mung beans and potatoes for half a year, which makes the soldiers generally have digestive problems.

As for things like meat, don't even think about it. Many comrades have forgotten what meat tastes like, and even pigs have not seen many of them.

Now that so many transport planes have sent support materials, not only a large number of new infantry weapons, but also a lot of fine grains and pork and chicken, the soldiers have long been dazzled.

And everyone knows that such assistance is only the first time, and there will be more in the future.

With a vision for a better future, everyone is full of energy.

It has only been more than half an hour since the plane landed, and half of the materials have been transported, so even Master Ye did not expect such a high efficiency.

After hearing the inquiry, the corners of the company commander's mouth curled upward. He was also very concerned about the food, and just went to ask his battalion commander.

"Yes! Absolutely! That thing can't be stored and can't give birth. Improve your meal at noon today! Not only pork, but also chicken soup to drink! Rice can also be made strongly! ”

"But ah, we'll have to get our stuff to the warehouse and finish the work before we can eat."

"By the way, these supplies were all transported by plane from the border area by comrades. If we see the pilot in a while, we have to thank them. ”

When they learned that there was meat to eat, the warriors immediately let out cheers. Their chests slapped loudly, as if they had all been injected with chicken blood.

"Company commander! You can rest assured! We are not white-eyed wolves, we all understand the truth! ”

"As for the work, it's up to us to do it! I'm sure I'll be able to start dinner on time today! ”

Looking at the group of young men with high morale and fighting spirit in front of him, the company commander carried a weapon box with a smile on his face.

"A bunny bunny, get to work!

————

On January 1, 1941, the soldiers in the south had a sumptuous lunch. All of them had their mouths full of oil and happy smiles on their faces.

But at this time, Master Ye was not happy, and through various channels, he had already learned that the main force of the Third War Zone and the 32nd Group were coming.

Seven divisions and 80,000 people seem to have eaten them.

People are on the train, the next chapter will be late, I continue to write
