In the early morning of September 4, 1940, in the airspace of Jiangsu Province, near Jinling
It is more than 1,400 kilometers from the mountain city to the capital city. Normally using a C47 transport aircraft, it would take more than five hours and almost six hours. But Wang Yue's Li-2 is different. It is equipped with an 1820-horsepower engine. The aircraft body has also been reinforced, and it is fueled by high-octane aviation fuel. Although the cruising speed is still 260 kilometers per hour, the top speed can soar to more than 600 kilometers. In just two hours, the plane has entered the Jiangsu airspace. .
"Brother Wang, do you think I can throw bombs out from the cargo hatch at the back?" It had been more than two hours, but Li Yunlong's excitement had not worn off yet. When the plane was flying over Jinling, he asked on a whim. road.
"Yes, but it's not allowed, and ordinary transport planes can't fly as fast as me. It's very dangerous to use a transport plane as a bomber." Wang Yue shook his head with a wry smile. Brother, the plane has already flown more than 500 kilometers per hour. You old man It was okay to open the cargo door randomly at the back. The plane had deflected just now and almost didn't correct it.
"Oh, you can't drop bombs. That's so boring! Brother Wang, can you leave this plane to me?" Li Yunlong asked with some persistence. The plane is really good. It will be convenient if he wants to go back to northwest Shanxi in the future. , you can also take care of the Japs on the way, don't throw bombs, Lao Li still has artillery shells, 203mm big artillery shells, how cool it is!
"Old Li, this one is really not good. This is my special plane. I have prepared Bald Eagle's latest P-39 fighter jet for you. As long as the Eighth Route Army headquarters pays, it can be sent to you." In front of General Chen Wang Yue would naturally not say that the plane could be given to Lao Li for free. In fact, the Eighth Route Army often takes the initiative to give him more money. He really doesn’t want to make money. He has nothing to do with him in 2023. Damn it, you don’t even have a girlfriend, what do you need money for?
"P39! Is it Bell's new fighter jet?" Chen Zhigang, who was concentrating on flying the plane, couldn't help but interrupt. He was a former pilot of the Northeast Army. He was expelled from the military for planning a rescue operation with several fellow villagers, and later moved to northern Shaanxi. , I thought I could only teach flight theory in a cave dwelling for the rest of my life, but I didn’t expect to actually fly a plane again with the Eighth Route Army.
"Yes, the planes have all arrived in Delhi. Once the follow-up training planes arrive, they can be shipped over. At that time, the fleet will be airdropped directly to Qijiang and northwest Shanxi." Wang Yue continued, he already felt that Chen The general paid attention, and Tasha generously gave him 271 P-39 fighter jets. With so many aircraft, the Eighth Route Army would not be able to use many of them. They did not have many pilots in their hands, and there were still many in Qijiang, so , the sales of this aircraft will eventually fall to the government.
"Mr. Wang, I wonder if this new fighter jet can be sold to the Ministry of Military Affairs?" General Chen hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, although we are also patriotic, in the end we are just a group of businessmen who still want to make money. As long as the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government gives us money, we can definitely sell it. Even with this payment method, I have partners who are not willing to do it. You have to know, Even the Eighth Route Army did not say they would only give me 10% in cash." Wang Yue said with some amusement. Because of his continuous sales, the prices of many gems have fluctuated. If he continues to sell on a large scale, profits will inevitably decrease.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, as long as you can help the government purchase Bald Eagle's most advanced fighter jets, everything can be discussed!" General Chen's calm face was somewhat excited. Although the alliance has also sold aircraft to the government in recent years, but The quality of the aircraft is really average. Neither the Il-15 nor the Il-16 has an absolute advantage, and due to design reasons, they need to be matched every time, otherwise they will suffer.
Moreover, the Alliance began to contact Japan after the outbreak in Europe. It is said that a non-aggression treaty will be concluded. Once the treaty is concluded, the loans and arms from the Alliance will be gone.
"No problem, as long as the money is enough, I can get you anything!" Wang Yue was also very happy. If you buy it, you can fight the little devils. If you buy it, you can be less restrained by the bald eagle. If Mikoyan hadn't failed, he would have wanted to place an order for a thousand more Lago-3s, and he could sell them all over the world in the future. Let them beat them, and only if they break them.
"What about sulfa and penicillin?" General Chen asked. The reason why he went to Qijiang County overnight tonight was for sulfa and penicillin. The highest authorities were still waiting for a reply!
"There are ten kilogram barrels of sulfonamide and one kilogram of gold in one barrel. I have six thousand barrels in my hand. I will not only sell them. If you pay five tons of gold, I will give them to you. As for penicillin, I will give it to you one bottle at a time." Wang Yue answered without hesitation that the price was absolutely cheap in this era. He didn't know the production cost of sulfa for the time being, but the ex-factory price was definitely not low. Penicillin was even more different. At the beginning, it was just a small bottle. Bald Eagle It dared to sell for two hundred dollars, but even in 1945, penicillin dry powder cost $25 per gram.
"Cash?" General Chen also knew that the price of sulfa was cheap enough, but he still asked habitually.
"It must be cash. The price of medicines has gone up now, and it's not easy to transport things in. If I'm honest, the price is cheap enough." Wang Yue curled his lips. If I weren't worried about you reselling, I could give it to you for free. But the problem is that I really don’t dare. With the ethics of those people, there is nothing they can’t do, especially that fat guy from the Ministry of Finance.
"The sulfonamide government can take all of it. As for penicillin, I still need to go back and ask for instructions." General Chen nodded. This price is already an absolute floor price. Even Bald Eagle's factory cannot give this ex-factory price. .
"Then you have to hurry up. The demand in Europe is huge. I can't guarantee that others will not transfer the medicines there." Wang Yue laughed. He just wanted to make General Chen understand that he was not alone. Some people act recklessly and without a bottom line.
"I understand this. I'll leave everything to Mr. Wang." General Chen nodded. The price is already very cheap. It's normal for people to have requests. I believe that the person from the Ministry of Finance will definitely agree without hesitation after knowing the price. It's dozens of tons. There are so many places where you can operate sulfonamide dry powder.
"We've arrived in the Magic City!" Chen Zhigang shouted very excitedly. Although it was already late at night, the ships on the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River all had their navigation lights on, which showed the general shapes of the Yangtze and Huangpu Rivers. Chang Fei's Line pilots can easily tell the difference.
"Listen to my command, let's land!" Wang Yue shouted excitedly. In order to rescue Chen Jinyuan, he studied a lot of information and even found a place in Tripoli and conducted more than a dozen tests. Only then did he gain confidence. At this time He had put most of the fuel in the tank into the space. The plane was too heavy. He had to crash the plane and deal with emergencies. With the current amount of fuel, even if there was an accident, it would be fine. .
"Mr. Wang, this is the Magic City area!" Chen Zhigang felt like his scalp was going to explode. This is a big plane. I thought it was going to go to the Third War Zone after a roundabout in the Magic City. Now you are actually going to land. Pilot This thing landed in the Magic City area at night. Brother, you still have two generals behind you.
"Don't be afraid, just follow my command!" Wang Yue did not continue to argue and had already begun to slow down the plane. Relying on the system's detection and brain calculations, he had collected all the required data and repeatedly verified that landing was completely feasible. Of course, anyone else would definitely not be able to do it. The most basic point is that Wang Yue does not need to visually land at all. Do you dare to think?
"Gentlemen, hurry up, we've landed!" Wang Yue yelled excitedly. At this moment, even Li Yunlong quickly grabbed a strap and grabbed it. Damn it, it's exciting, it's so exciting!
Immediately afterwards, the plane began to descend rapidly. Wang Yue wanted to adopt the sinking landing used for aircraft carrier landings. There was no way. The playground of Gujun Camp was too short. This method was not suitable and rushed into the Suzhou River. Fortunately, Mi Gao Yang and those guys specially strengthened the landing gear, otherwise it would definitely not work.
The only worry now is that the plane is too heavy. It was originally planned to carry three people, but now there are eight people on board. With weapons, the load is almost half a ton, which is very dangerous for landing.
And unlike at sea, there was a weak crosswind here at Gujun Camp, which would also make landing more difficult. Wang Yue could only choose to use the belly of the aircraft to slow down, otherwise he would not be able to reach the required speed at all.
In just a few dozen seconds, the speed of the plane dropped very low. It was already on the verge of stalling. The body of the plane began to shake, and the skin of the plane also made a creaking sound. General Chen's adjutant was so frightened that he peed. The general wanted to shoot this guy right now.
Chen Zhigang tried hard to pull the extremely heavy joystick, feeling that he was about to collapse. At this time, even if his hands shook, the plane might stall and crash immediately. After flying the plane for more than ten years, even on the Songhu battlefield He has never been so nervous before.
But beside him, Wang Yue was calm and composed. He had tried this kind of landing many times. The performance of the aircraft modified by Mikoyan was very reliable. As long as it was not intentional, the possibility of stalling was very low.
One thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters away, soldiers could already be seen running out from the lone army camp, and there were suddenly more lights in the nearby slums. It was obvious that they were all awakened by the roar of the engine. An 1820-horsepower engine is definitely a giant in this era.
"Bang -" With a loud noise, the plane finally touched the ground, then bounced up again, and then fell heavily again. At the same time, a huge temporarily installed speeding parachute was opened, and before landing, Wang Yue had already begun to control the engine to "reverse". Everyone seemed to be pulled forward and fell forward suddenly, and the speed of the plane suddenly dropped.
Finally, the plane stopped just five meters away from the edge of the playground. The five meters referred to the landing gear of the plane. In fact, the nose of the plane had already poked out of the playground.
Some people died, but not completely...
