On the morning of October 8, 1940, Shancheng, Qijiang County
Two P-39 fighter jets were conducting combat drills in the sky. Watching the two fighter jets constantly fighting and chasing each other, bursts of shouts and cheers erupted from time to time on the ground. The confrontation between the two fighter jets was really beautiful. , it was so intense that everyone couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts.
It has only been a dozen days since these fighter jets were transported to Qijiang County. Most of the trainees can only take off and land on their own, and there was also an accident in which the landing gear was broken. So those who are having fun in the sky are definitely not those with eyes full of them. Hopeful and excited students.
At this moment, Chen Zhigang and Wang Yue were demonstrating to the students in the sky. Anyway, since he couldn't leave the Gulf of Aden quickly, Wang Yue simply went to stay here in 1940, waiting for the bald eagle to get tired. Don't look at the fact that he couldn't bring weapons and equipment here, but he had no time at all. Come down, this is not it. As soon as I came over, I was recruited to be a flight instructor and demonstrated the performance of the P-39 fighter jet to the students.
No wonder those Western pilots don't like this thing. The performance of the P-39 fighter jet is really good, but it is really difficult to operate. It is very laborious and requires experience, and the movement is not smooth, especially when fighting. The load on the body is very heavy. A propeller fighter is more uncomfortable to fly than a jet, which is wrong. When flying a jet fighter, you have an anti-G suit, but you don’t have such a thing when flying. Moreover, the airtightness of the cockpit is not good at all. There is no pressure balance, which is uncomfortable.
However, the speed, ceiling and flexibility of this fighter are very good, especially the low-altitude combat performance, which is definitely comparable to the Lager-3. Of course, the premise is that the aircraft is not driven by Wang Yue. If he were to drive the aircraft, P- 51 is not easy to use, just like during the air war in Chongqing. Who would let anyone worry about it.
Yesterday evening, a Japanese reconnaissance plane came over and happened to encounter Chen Zhigang who was taking off alone. The Japanese pilot was about to escape, but he was chased and exploded in the air after a while. The Japanese pilot even had a chance to parachute. nothing.
On the same day, the Chinese Air Force in the mountain city also sent planes to shoot down a Japanese reconnaissance plane. The public, who had not seen the Chinese Air Force for many days, became enthusiastic. The Air Force simply transferred its 130 Dewatina D520 fighter jets and 133 LeO451 bombers. They were all released, setting off an extremely enthusiastic parade, comparable in scale to the parade on the day of the liberation of Peking.
The Chinese army once again had a powerful air force, and finally no longer had to worry about Japanese bombings. How could they not be happy? Compared with the invincible army and the invisible navy, citizens are obviously closer to and identify with the air force.
Wang Yue also lamented that the training of the reserve force of the Air Force is really amazing. It actually produced so many pilots at once and quickly mastered the new aircraft. Unlike these trainees of the Eighth Route Army, they were just a bunch of bastards. Just the landing gear. Where can I buy it? There is no spare parts like that.
After biting Chen Zhigang from behind for the third time, the latter finally gave up, swung the wings slightly and landed with Wang Yue. He had no choice but to understand how Wang Yue flew the plane. It's so skillful, it's so shocking. Before you even start to move, people can bite you, and you're simply too hungry to fight, okay?
"Brother Wang, how long will it take for us pilots to carry out the mission?" After landing, before Wang Yue could take a sip of water, Li Yunlong came over in a hurry. His eyes were full of expectations. This guy had begged Chen Zhigang many times. The training plane took him into the air, and now he was looking forward to using aircraft to cover operations.
"Didn't the Ministry of Military Affairs just reject your request to go to the Ninth War Zone to participate in the war?" Wang Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes at this guy. He was planning to build Qijiang County into a base area, but this guy actually applied to go to the Ninth War Zone to participate in the war. It's simply I just have to plan my own overall deployment rhythm and invest so much energy and thought. Once Li Yunlong and the temporary 68th Division move, I have to follow them. The construction here in Qijiang County will definitely be cheaper than that in Shancheng. Side.
"I am also responsible for suppressing bandits in the Qijiang River Basin. I am wondering if I should take action against Wu Datou in Shiqian County. Xie Baoqing and his people have been lurking in Shiqian County for half a month. If I don't move, I am worried that something will happen. ." Li Yunlong explained with a smile that Wu Heqing's industries and influence outside Shiqian County have basically been wiped out by him, causing quite a stir. For this reason, General Chen personally came out to warn him and told him If Wu Heqing cannot be solved within half a month, this action must be terminated.
"Air combat is definitely not possible, but if we perform simple ground target training, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" As he spoke, Wang Yue turned his attention to Chen Zhigang aside. The flight students used the trainer aircraft to conduct bombing and strafing training, and the results were good. , As long as the P-39 does not engage in air combat, it will not be a big problem. As long as the time of use and weather conditions are controlled well, there will be no problems when they land.
"Commander, give me another week. I guarantee that the flight team will be able to participate in the war in one week!" After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhigang patted his chest and assured that now each pilot has to be in the air for more than eight hours a day. In another week, time, these guys will have accumulated more than a hundred hours of flight time. With such accumulated time, they are not considered students. m.
"Okay, okay, Old Chen, we, Old Li, know that you are reliable! Well, Brother Wang, do you think you can find a way to help us get some bombs?" If Li Yunlong simply wanted to confirm whether the flying team could To join the war, just ask Chen Zhigang directly. The reason why he asked Wang Yue to ask was because he wanted a batch of aerial bombs to use for ground attacks. You must know that the aerial bombs they have now can only be used for the first six years. of lime bombs.
"Well, Lao Li, all my aerial bomb reserves in bases in neighboring countries have been emptied. I'm afraid they won't be able to transport them to Qijiang County within a week." Hearing this, Wang Yue showed a look of embarrassment on his face. There is no way. 2023 Over there, he was still stuck in the small town in the Gulf of Aden. At least, he couldn't leave until the bald eagle's underwater search was over.
"Brother Wang, what can we do if there are no aerial bombs? We can't blow them up with artillery shells, right?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but glance at Wang Yue as he spoke. He also knew about the big bombing in North China, and he and the vice president Like the conductor, he also felt that Wang Yue had sent someone to do this, so he now had some hope in his heart.
"It's not easy, Lao Li. If you use artillery shells, you may need to change the aircraft's hanger, which will also affect the center of gravity of the aircraft's takeoff. It requires certain special training to fly. Moreover, the impact point of the artillery shells is difficult to control, which will greatly affect the bombing effect. , it’s better to use aerial bombs.” After listening to Li Yunlong’s words, Wang Yue felt a little headache. If he had used aerial bombs instead of artillery shells that time, he wouldn’t have been so miserable. After all, the trajectory of the artillery shells was too difficult. calculated.
"What's going on? This is really troublesome." Li Yunlong was a little embarrassed. If he wanted to capture Wu Datou, he really didn't need to use an airplane, but if there was air support, it would definitely be faster and the losses could be greatly reduced. .
"Buy it, it's not too complicated. Just go to the Ordnance Industry Department and ask them to help customize it. I got another batch of seafood today. It's not easy for you to exchange it with the Military and Political Department for some bombs." Wang Yue curled his lips. Although the quality of the bombs produced by the Ordnance Industry Administration was not very good, they were still produced in-house. It would not be a big problem to help customize some bombs that could be used by P-39 fighter jets.
As for seafood, it is definitely the result of Wang Yue's idleness and discomfort. When he comes here recently, he will use his personal space to bring a batch of seafood from the Gulf of Aden to serve as military rations for Li Yunlong. However, the quantity is too large, one million at a time. Cube, even the temporary number of people in the 68th Division will definitely not be enough to eat, so in the past few days, Xue Feng and Zhao Gang mobilized the entire people of Qijiang County to dry, smoke and grill fish. , pickling salted fish, working in full swing, all day long, twenty-four hours a day, the fireworks in Qijiang County never stopped. In many places, even the river water turned red because of the fish washing.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have recruited all the Japanese reconnaissance planes.
"Okay, then I will contact General Chen. Brother Wang, when you are done with your work, go to the headquarters. Let's have a drink tonight." Hearing Wang Yue mention the word "seafood", Li Yunlong's lips turned unconsciously. The ground twitched. He had been eating sea fish for almost half a month. Not to mention, the air in Qijiang was now filled with a strong fishy smell. It felt so sour and refreshing.
Even the price of seafood has plummeted. At first, a pound of sea fish could be sold for a few cents, then 1 cent, then 5 cents, and now, one cent or two pounds is still French currency, along with the food in the mountain city. The price has dropped a lot again, because many poor people are seizing the opportunity to buy sea fish. Although the taste of fish is not good every day, it is very hungry. Poor people, as long as they can eat enough, it doesn't matter what they eat. ?
Seeing Lao Li jump into the car and speeding towards the headquarters, Wang Yue's lips unconsciously put on a smile. He had never thought that sea fish was such a big business before, but you can't handle the huge volume of this stuff. He When you have nothing to do, you can get hundreds or tens of millions of fiat currency in one go. Although this money is nothing, you can do a lot of things. Moreover, the large-scale release of marine fish in exchange for fiat currency has actually led to a slight increase in the value of fiat currency. This is definitely an unexpected surprise.
The value of the legal currency continues to decline. Whoever loses will definitely not be the dignitaries, but the poor people, and the poor people at the bottom. They can take advantage of the opportunity of being trapped in the Gulf of Aden to help stabilize the value of the legal currency. Naturally, Wang Yue is I don’t mind doing it. As for whether it will affect the fishery production near the Gulf of Aden in 2023, there is actually no need to worry at all. Even if Wang Yue hadn’t taken action, the fishery resources in the Gulf of Aden would have been poached by foreigners. Less than local residents.
Otherwise, why do you think the Gulf of Aden is so poor? If a country with only a few people engages in marine fishing, it will be okay to live in a country with adequate food and clothing, let alone great wealth. civil war? There are many countries with civil war, but which one is impoverished simply because of civil war?
As for whether anyone will explore how these seafood entered the inland, Wang Yue no longer cares. If he continues to support the war of resistance here, it will only be a matter of time before someone discovers something is wrong.
Some people died, but not completely...
