"It's..."

Separate regiment stationed.

Aerodrome.

Ding Wei's eyes widened, looking at a huge plane in front of him, and he was speechless in shock.

"Transporter."

"The full name is a four-engine strategic transport aircraft."

In front of his old comrades-in-arms, Li Yunlong proudly introduced:

"Twenty-five tons empty."

"The standard take-off weight is fifty-five tons, and the maximum take-off weight is sixty-five tons."

"Isn't that the maximum amount of supplies that can be transported is forty tons?"

Although he didn't see the flight manual.

And thanks to the excellent lightweight materials, as well as the advanced lightweight engines of the Heyun-5 and Jian-1, the total weight has only increased by seven tons to 25 tons in the case of a significant increase in volume.

"That's enough."

"You have to make him carry thirty kilograms of food, so that he can work for a day."

Twenty tons of deadweight.

"The maximum take-off weight is not practical, it has a great impact on the range and handling of the aircraft, and even affects the safety of the aircraft."

Ding Wei asked.

"That is, up to twenty tons of supplies can be loaded and transported to a thousand kilometers away?"

This is a super transport aircraft with the ability to influence strategically.

But through the flight knowledge learned during this time, he still guessed the maximum transportation weight of this transport aircraft, as well as the maximum load and transportation distance.

Ding Wei didn't speak, but Li Yunlong obviously didn't intend to let Ding Wei go:

"You kid is also messing with Ding Wei, how can you ask such a brainless question."

In order to achieve a maximum load capacity of 40 tons and a large range, this transport aircraft uses long wings, so it does not have tactical transport capabilities, and the take-off and landing must be paved with runways.

Li Yunlong replied.

"Yes."

"How many are there?"

Ding Wei didn't speak, although he was very curious about this huge four-engine transport plane, but in order to avoid being scared by Li Yunlong's riding face, he planned to wait a while to take a look at the flight manual.

In other words, you can take off from the Taiyue base, and after arriving in Tokyo, the capital of the devil, you can circle for an hour, and then you can fly back again.

It's not as good as the C130, but it's not bad either.

Coupled with the huge cargo compartment of this plane, which can directly put down heavy artillery, Ding Wei deeply knows how terrible the impact of this data on the war is.

"Sixty-five tons of maximum take-off weight."

"However, when the load is 20 tons, it can travel 1,200 kilometers round trip, but the requirements for the take-off and landing airports are very high."

"It's the same as your Grand Master Ding."

"In this way, within ten minutes, your Grand Master Ding will be lying on his stomach."

But the guard next to Ding Wei couldn't help but ask, his eyes widened.

A thousand kilometers of transport distance.

Ding Wei narrowed his eyes, but couldn't help but ask.

The plane in front of you is actually a new weapon that appeared to kill Tada.

Ding Wei's guard didn't know how to reply for a while, touched his nose, and was silent.

Ding Wei breathed a long sigh of relief.

The empty weight is 25 tons, the standard take-off weight is 55 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 65 tons, and the maximum load capacity is an astonishing 40 tons, including fuel.

"When I was in the same class with him, this kid was a strong man, and he could carry one hundred and twenty catties of grain all over the ground, that is to say, your Grand Master Ding could carry a maximum of sixty kilograms."

"At present, there are five planes, and after killing Tada Jun, you can stock up on five planes every month."

Four lightweight, fuel-efficient engines of 2,600 horsepower and long wings enabled this aircraft to reach a maximum range of 6,800 kilometers under light load.

"That's it!"

The take-off and landing distances are very long, and the environmental requirements are relatively high.

At this time, the aircraft at the airport of the independent regiment, in terms of appearance, is similar to the C54 in the previous life, but with the addition of the tail cargo door, the volume has also increased significantly, and the volume of the internal cargo compartment has naturally increased significantly.

Li Yunlong replied.

"But when we work, we can't let him carry sixty kilograms of grain, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Twenty tons of deadweight, large warehouse.

"When a plane takes off, it needs to consume fuel, it needs lubricating oil, it needs a pilot, and you use all the load of the transport plane to load supplies, how does it take off? Who will control it? ”

"Five."

Ding Wei frowned.

Five a month, a bit less.

Even if there are five planes per month, after a year, plus the five planes of the month, there will be sixty-five planes.

"No way."

Li Yunlong spread his hands:

"There are 5,000 people in the Independent Regiment."

He actually wanted the cross.

However, the four-engine transport plane requires a lot of personnel, and a single sortie requires at least 20 people, and 10 planes are 200 people.

Taking into account the fact that follow-up tank battalions, air defense battalions, radar units, armored vehicles and other weapons require a large number of formations,

Especially the Black Eagle, which Li Yunlong values the most.

and four-engine transport aircraft, in fact, for the troops, it is not a hard requirement, far less effective than the Black Hawk tank, so Li Yunlong reduced the size of the establishment.

"Yes."

"However, five planes a month seems to be enough."

Ding Wei touched his chin.

Five planes per month, 65 planes a year, and a single transport capacity of 1,300 tons.

Even taking into account the follow-up, the troops will strengthen their heavy firepower, including regimental howitzers, regimental vehicles, etc., and the single transport capacity has reached one regiment.

In this way, it will be possible to maneuver over a thousand kilometers in a week with four main heavy regiments and carry enough combat materials for a large-scale encounter.

"Or use the transport plane to drop bombs and kill Tada?"

Ding Wei was curious.

"Nope."

Li Yunlong smiled:

"This time, the missiles have been changed."

"Missiles?"

Ding Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

He knows what a missile is.

In the training course for officers of independent regiments, battalions, and companies, there are books on missiles.

···

Meanwhile.

Northern Review.

"What's wrong?"

Ishihara walked into the headquarters and looked at the eyes of Okamura Ningji, and couldn't help but be curious.

At this time, Gangcun's expression was extremely strange.

He couldn't even guess the meaning of this expression and expression.

"The base camp refused."

Gangcun said.

"What?"

Ishihara didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while.

"The base camp refused, and I continued to ask for more troops and supplies."

Gangmura Ningji shook his head:

"They believe that the troops and materials currently assembled are enough to destroy the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei, Taiyue, and Taihang, and completely sweep away the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

"This..."

Ishihara's brow furrowed.

According to the plan of the base camp,

In this operation against the Eighth Route Army, the North China Front will gather a total of seven divisions and regiments, and the total strength will reach two-thirds of the North China Front.

However, because the North China Front was responsible for the security of thousands of kilometers of railway lines and the towns along the routes, it was able to mobilize less than 90,000 mobile troops.

So other troops.

Part was mobilized from the south, about one and a half divisions.

The rest is supplemented by the newly formed divisions from the mainland, but this part of the troops is insufficient in combat effectiveness, so it can only be used as a supplementary soldier and responsible for the security work in the occupied area after clearing the main force of the Eighth Road.

Among them, there are only 120,000 main forces that can actually fight directly, and all of them have been assembled at present, and it is expected that they will not be able to effectively deal with the main forces of the Eighth Road.

What Gangmura Ningji applied for was to increase the main force capable of fighting.

But to the surprise of the two,

The base camp actually refused.

Ishihara sensed the strangeness of the matter.

The current cabinet is Mitsumasa Mine, who is not an idiot. The base camp is also full of smart people.

Since then, the analysis of the information that I have so far,

In particular, the Eighth Route Army's three precise air attacks on the chief of staff all showed that the enemy could accurately attack the Empire's artillery positions, command centers and other key positions during the battle.

And with the advent of ultra-advanced fighters, the empire does not even have the ability to deal with it.

Not to mention, will there be other unknown advanced weapons in the future.

No matter how it is deduced, it is impossible for the main force of the 120,000 locust army to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army and completely destroy the three core base areas.

so

Why did the base camp refuse further support?

With the easing of finances and the abundance of supplies, the current domestic conscription work has accelerated, and the empire has been relieved from three years of exhaustion.

Enough to launch a super-massive attack.

It is expected that if the main force of 35 to 400,000 is mobilized, it will be enough to destroy the base areas of southern Hebei, Taiyue, and Taihang, thus sweeping away the strength that Tuba Road has accumulated so far.

"Even, the base camp also asked me to station the permanent division from the south in southern Hebei, near the Zhengtai line, to strengthen security work."

Gangmura Ningji said.

"This?"

"Hmm!"

At this moment, Ishihara understood the idea of the base camp.

I also understand why Gangcun has this expression at this time.

"I see."

Ishihara smiled bitterly.

····

The other side.

Stone Gate.

"This month's income, 65 million silver dollars."

"The balance is 300 million yuan."

Suzuki summarized the economic gains of the month.

Looking at the numbers in front of him, a doubt came to Suzuki's mind.

Thanks to the Eighth Route Army's vigorous economic development, vigorous construction of infrastructure, and recruitment of more than one million people to build water conservancy facilities and highways, the economic level of North China has greatly increased.

Only that person's consumption level skyrocketed.

The empire completely controlled all railway lines, important highways, and cities with large populations and developed economies in North China, and controlled almost all livelihood industries.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army's offensive has been weak recently, it has no longer launched large-scale offensives, public security has improved, business has prospered, and it has invested heavily in local factories and imported American goods

Therefore, the effectiveness of the locust army's harvest of the economy has been further improved.

This month, 65 million silver dollars were collected, all in cash, and there was a balance of 300 million southern Hebei dollars, equivalent to more than 40 million silver dollars, plus other income, as well as the income of various banks

Total profit for the month, $75 million.

It's profit.

At this time, will the Empire allow the North China Front to attack and destroy the base of the Eighth Route Army?

You must know that once the base area of the Eighth Route Army is destroyed, this part of the profits will be generalized or even disappear.

Now, the reason why the empire's annual financial deficit has suddenly been made up, and the depreciation of the yen has stopped, is because of the profit of 70 million dollars a month. (End of chapter)
