In the early morning of September 4, 1940, the airspace of Jiangsu Province
The reaction of the Japanese garrison was still very fast. Shortly after Wang Yue and the others took off, the Japanese naval aviation in Shanghai sent 12 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets to intercept them. I don’t know whether it was due to real fire or because they knew that Admiral Chen On the plane, all the pilots who can take off at night are released.
Some people may say that Shanghai is also an important stronghold for the Japanese invaders. The aviation force of the navy and army must be more than this. This is about the characteristics of the Japanese - poor, many planes, and many pilots. The old devils here also dare to take off to fight at night, but the problem is that they really don't have much fuel in their hands.
Previously, a large amount of fuel and aviation materials were transferred to Wuhan to support the bombing of the mountain city. Now, these are the only aircraft in the possession of the Devil's Naval Air Force that can take off at any time, and they are also the most advanced aircraft in their hands. , as for the other fighter jets, they are all just making up the numbers and cannot catch up with their C-47 transport planes.
The Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet can reach a speed of 440 kilometers per hour. In the eyes of the Japanese, the top speed of the Bald Eagle C-47 transport plane is only 360 kilometers per hour. It will definitely be no problem to catch up with the aircraft and make an emergency landing. Dispatch military propaganda The department is even thinking about the news in the morning. The second-level general of the national army and the minister of military and political affairs "surrendered". This influence is no less than that of the one in Nanjing. It may even directly lead to the mutiny of hundreds of thousands of civil engineering troops. .
The Japanese pilots held their breath and were about to intercept them, but they soon discovered something was wrong. The opponent was too fast and they could not catch up with the opponent. The transport plane even rose to an altitude of 10,000 meters. Ten thousand meters, the maximum ceiling of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter is only 9,800 meters. This is when using imported high-octane gasoline. Now the aircraft will not be able to climb to 9,000 meters. If it continues to climb, the engine will stall. .
Even if they could climb to 10,000 meters, Japanese pilots would not dare to do that. Why? The Type 96 carrier-based fighter is actually an open-top. You read that right. The most advanced fighter of the Japanese naval aviation in China is actually an open-top. Do you dare to think?
The unconvinced Japanese pilots fired from a distance, hoping that the cannons could make up for the thousand-meter distance. Unfortunately, their unrealistic ideas were quickly shattered. Instead, several fighter jets forcibly opened fire at high altitudes. , the engine stalled after inhaling smoke, and there were quite a few, four fighter jets stalled one after another.
One of the fighter jets successfully re-ignited its engine during the fall, but the other three failed to ignite successfully. Two lucky pilots made an emergency landing on the Yangtze River, and the last pilot restarted the engine in time. , but the plane still entered a spin state and could not be recovered at all. The pilot could not even parachute. He could only fall at a high speed and finally hit a farmland, bursting into a beautiful flame.
Seeing that he had lost the fighter jet, Wang Yue handed over the driving right to Chen Zhigang. At this time, the plane's fuel tank was fully filled. Several tons of fuel were enough for them to fly to the mountain city. When they came to the back cabin, Li Yunlong was already gathering with a group of people. Let’s share the field rations pulled out from the bottom warehouse, meal A, meal B, meal D, Roma Coke, Roma luncheon meat. Li Yunlong dug out everything he could find. Everyone present was busy. Eat together.
Wang Yue just remembered at this moment that everyone probably didn't have time to have dinner, and they had been busy all night, so it would be strange not to be hungry. After all, not everyone can control the body's energy consumption like him.
Even Admiral Chen was eating a bottle of Coke in one hand and a cereal bar in the other. The only difference was that the food tasted much better. Hey, he probably didn't have time to finish his meal.
Seeing Li Yunlong holding the dry Yangzhou fried rice with his hands and putting it into his mouth, he realized that this guy didn't understand how to eat it, so he immediately climbed into the bottom warehouse and found a few jars filled with boiling water. With a thermos bottle and twenty aluminum lunch boxes, I started to teach everyone how to eat. As for where to get the boiling water? You guess.
After a while, the cabin was filled with aroma, and everyone was holding their lunch boxes and eating. Even people like Li Yunlong, who ate steak at the naval school, were no exception. What he was holding was a portion of fish-flavored shredded pork. In his opinion, it tastes much better than steak.
"Mr. Wang, is this the military ration you provided?" General Chen was holding a portion of Yangzhou fried rice with plenty of oil, shrimps, diced ham and dehydrated vegetables. Both the taste and appearance were very good. , even an average hotel is at this level.
"This is just a sample. It's too expensive. The Eighth Route Army probably won't be able to afford it. I plan to sell it together with the arms order in the future, and sell it in packages. If you don't want to buy it, you have to buy it!" Wang Yue curled his lips. Both the army and the Eighth Route Army had poor food. It would be good if they could eat enough sorghum, black beans, millet, and soybean meal. Although he ordered a large amount of military rations, he had not yet figured out how to promote it.
"How much does it cost? Can Mr. Wang tell you something?" General Chen was interested. This kind of military ration is delicious, easy to eat, and especially hungry. If you can give some to the soldiers on the battlefield, it will also boost morale. Although You definitely can’t afford to eat it every day, but you can still eat it occasionally.
"Meal D costs 2 cents, meal A costs 30 cents, meal B costs 9 cents, a bottle of Roma Coke costs 10 cents, and a can of Roma luncheon meat costs 2 cents." Wang Yue reported. An extremely low price. Don’t say you bought it at this price. Even if you make it yourself, you can’t make it. With China’s current industrial strength, let alone polyethylene packaging and aluminum boxes, even the cardboard packaging can be made. Not of the same quality.
"It is indeed not expensive. The Ministry of Military Affairs will consider purchasing it in the future." General Chen knew that Wang Yue did not quote a high price, so he hurriedly said, at this time, rifle bullets were almost 10 cents a round, and the cheapest military rations were only 20 cents. Money, what more can you ask for?
"It's really hard for General Chen, but I personally suggest that you buy more food. It's not a problem to always let the soldiers eat soybean meal and black beans." Wang Yue glanced at General Chen and couldn't bear it. Just say something.
"Mr. Wang, the country's territory has been lost and the country's finances are in difficulty." General Chen was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mood, bit the bullet, and explained with a troubled face that the national army's salary supply process was very complicated, and he could reach out wherever he could. If there are more, naturally fewer will end up in the hands of soldiers. Those who can eat soybean meal and black beans are good. In the vast majority of troops, soldiers are in a state of hunger for a long time.
"I want to assign an army aviation force to the temporary 68th Division. Can the government agree?" Wang Yue changed the topic and did not want to continue the previous question.
"The national army does not have this kind of organization, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." Admiral Chen, could it be that the power in Li Yunlong's hands has made people very fearful. Not only the commission, but also he doubted whether the national army in the mountain city could stop the opponent. , wouldn’t it be even more difficult to control if there were aviation forces?
"Then please tell General Chen and the person from the Ministry of Finance to reveal the news and tell them that this is an additional condition for me to sell sulfa. In fact, regardless of your opinions, I can directly help them assemble the aviation force, but it is meaningless. They are all my own people. , let’s discuss it, if Minister Chen can facilitate this, I will give you a hundred QF240mm guns, anti-tank guns, how about it?” Wang Yue bargained with General Chen as if doing business, it was just a piece of paper approval. , the price of one hundred QF 240mm cannons is already high enough. He has thousands of these in his hands, but they don’t have many shells, so it’s not a big deal to give them as gifts to the Ministry of Military Affairs.
"What kind of cannon is this?" General Chen was a little confused. There were only a hundred cannons. The guy in front of him was really big.
"This is the tank gun of the Valentine tank. Our people thought it had insufficient firepower, so they replaced it. I have a lot of them in my hand. If you agree, I can ship it over in the next few days, and then I will send another gun. Fifty rounds of artillery shells for you." Wang Yue can't say it, so I just want to give it to you in a different way.
"No problem, but the size of the fleet must be strictly controlled. The number of aircraft you provide to the Eighth Route Army must not exceed 1/2 of the number provided to the National Army. No problem." General Chen gritted his teeth and agreed, counting on the Ministry of Finance It is too difficult to pay for outsourced artillery, and the price is still expensive. Since there is no way to prevent this, it is better to get more benefits.
He had just come into contact with Wang Yue, but he found that Wang Yue did not dislike the government, but he was not interested in some people in the government, such as the fat man from the Ministry of Finance. Well, can I say that I didn't like that fat man?
"No problem, don't worry. The Eighth Route Army can't afford much. Even if it can afford airplanes, it can't afford parts and consumables." Wang Yue smiled. Compared with the Eighth Route Army, it is much more difficult to support the National Army. Damn it, if I give you sulfamethoxazole today, that fat man will dare to sell it tomorrow. Each of the royal relatives will not have any good things. It is also difficult for the highest authorities to have such a group of people. relative.
Oh, Wang Yue must admit that even if he sells it to them, it will not delay them from selling it.
"Actually, the Military Control Bureau has noticed Mr. Wang for a long time, and so have the Japanese. It is said that they also planned a kidnapping. For your safety, Director Dai has paid great attention to it." Admiral Chen continued, since he has been contacted, Then simply be honest and honest, hoping to gain the other person's favor.
"Then I really want to thank Director Dai. Say hello to Director Dai and let's have a drink together when you have time." Wang Yue smiled. Director Dai is definitely not a good person, and most of his evaluations are very appropriate. There is no bias, but in terms of national justice, this person is still not bad. During the entire Anti-Japanese War, his contribution was also very great. How can I put it, all the real heroes in the military command died in this resistance? In a war of aggression.
"I will definitely bring the message to you!" General Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Yue did not mind the military commander's monitoring.
"Mr. Wang, plane, a Japanese plane!" At this moment, Chen Zhigang in the cockpit shouted.
Because it was too cold at high altitude, they lowered their altitude after getting rid of the Japanese fighter jets. Otherwise, the wounded soldiers in the few lone battalions would really not be able to bear it, but they never thought that the Japanese soldiers would appear again soon. , Wang Yue scanned it, the Army's Type 97 fighter jet, this thing is a little faster than the Type 96 carrier-based fighter, but it is also limited, the top speed is only 460 kilometers per hour, which is still not enough, but compared to the open-top Type 97 fighter The ceilings of the Type-6 carrier-based fighter jets and the Type-97 fighter jets are 10,000 meters. It seems that the Japs are still angry. They even sent out Army Air Force fighter jets to defend Jinling.
Although I am not worried about being intercepted by this thing, it is not a problem to be chased by others all the time. It is frustrating. Fortunately, I am also prepared.
So, Wang Yue asked Chen Zhigang to avoid it while taking Li Yunlong to the cargo door. The modified Li-2 transport aircraft has a side cargo door like the Li-2T. No one is flying except Li Yunlong. This thing is opened during the process, but if it is opened, two MG34 machine guns prepared by Wang Yue can be placed here at the same time, and even simple brackets are ready.
After simply arranging the two machine guns, Wang Yue returned to the cockpit and began the performance moment. There were thirty fighter jets. The Japanese really thought highly of themselves. Without hesitation, they turned on afterburner, increased speed, and climbed.
Soon, Wang Yue discovered that the Japanese fighter planes at visual distance were also climbing at the same time. Obviously, as the sky gradually became brighter, the Japanese ground observation stations were ready for use.
Opposite Wang Yue, the Japanese pilots began to take drugs. The order they received was that they must keep the transport plane. Even if it cannot make an emergency landing, they must shoot it down.
Even if they can't catch up with the opponent, the Japanese plan to crash the plane. They are not the Red Deer of the Navy, so they will not make such stupid mistakes.
However, the Japanese still underestimated the abnormality of Wang Yue's transport aircraft. In addition to the aircraft's performance, Wang Yue could also operate plug-ins. With the blessing of system space, he kept the aircraft's fuel tank at 200 liters, allowing him to The plane instantly became lighter by several tons. The Japanese would never have imagined that he could perform such a feat.
The transport plane carrying more than 20 passengers quickly reached a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. The Japanese fighter jets also climbed to about 10,000 meters, and rushed over one by one, and the two 7.7mm machine guns on the plane were It also began to roar. More than thirty aircraft and more than sixty machine guns formed a tight net.
However, it was of no use. Soon the Japanese pilots found that the transport plane flew over their heads again. This altitude was still several hundred meters higher than them. However, the Japanese machine guns still hit the transport plane. There were dozens of machine guns, and it was impossible to dodge them all.
The bullet hit the belly of the transport plane, but it splashed with sparks. Nani, your transport plane actually has armor plates? Not only the belly of the aircraft, but also the lower part of the engine was armored. The firepower network of dozens of machine guns only left a few bullet holes in the opponent's wings.
Before the Japanese pilots could react from their blinded state, two tongues of flames sprayed out from the transport plane. The perverted transport plane actually opened the cargo door at high speed and fired at them with machine guns. Baga, actually used It's so insulting for a transport plane to attack a fighter jet.
Some people died, but not completely...
